Chapter 153: Wusun Strikes

Zhao Yun's judgment was correct. After Wusun learned that the 10,000-strong army had been defeated in Che Shiguo, he did not let it go. The city of Jiaohe was slaughtered, so that these small countries in the Western Regions that were attached to the Han family knew who had the final say in the land of the Western Regions.

And according to the news obtained by Tanma, this time, Wusun sent 70,000 troops!

With so many soldiers and horses, it can be said that all of Wusun's troops have been added here. It is obviously impossible to say that it is only for a mere Cheshi country.

In Jiaohe City Prince's Mansion, King Che Shi has been very anxious since he learned that Wusun came out in full force this time. Zhao Yun looked at the map silently, but he walked back and forth, looking at Zhao Yun from time to time, and then continued walking. Seeing that Zhao Yun ignored him, he couldn't help coughing twice.

"What's your worry, Your Majesty?" Zhao Yun finally shifted his gaze from the map to Che Shi Wang.

"General, even with the assistance of 2,000 soldiers from the Han family, it is impossible for my Jiaohe City to stop Wusun's 100,000 troops!" King Che Shi looked at Zhao Yun and said.

"Isn't it only 70,000?" Zhao Yun frowned, where did the 100,000 come from?

"Is there a difference?" Che Shiwang asked back, 100,000 and 70,000, they couldn't stop them.

"The difference is thirty thousand." Zhao Yun frowned and looked at the map in front of him. Seventy thousand is indeed not a small number. The city has been fortified a lot, so it shouldn't be a problem to defend it for a while. As for being so anxious?

"General Zhao~" Che Shiwang suddenly fell to his knees, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Why don't we surrender!"

Just thinking about the scene after Wusun broke the city, the little courage gathered in Che Shiwang's chest dissipated instantly.

Zhao Yun: "..."

It's hard to understand what kind of mentality this is, and it's not guaranteed to lose. They have the advantage of the city, and their troops are still enough to defend the city. Even if Jiaohe City is not considered strong, it is still enough to last for ten days and a half months.

"You old man, I'm here to help you. If you do this, what will you do to me?" Qin Yi, who was at the side, was a little speechless, and couldn't help scolding, but his scolding with a smile on his face made me feel uncomfortable. People are a little awkward.

"General Qin, Che Shi's subjects have all moved into Jiaohe City. Once the city is destroyed, the country will be destroyed!" King Che Shi sighed helplessly.

Qin Yi wanted to say more, but Zhao Yun stopped him. Zhao Yun looked at Che Shiwang and said, "How can the king be sure that if you surrender, they won't slaughter the city?"

The car master Wang Wenyan didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer. This possibility is not impossible, and it is very big.

Zhao Yun continued to persuade: "If you want to surrender, my big man will not force others. I will withdraw my troops later and return to Dunhuang. No matter how powerful Wusun is, he will definitely not have the guts to provoke my big man. Are you sure you want to surrender?"

Qin Yi on the side snapped his fingers and said, "At the beginning, the army of more than a thousand Wusun people in the city was wiped out. Before the defeat of Wusun's army, thousands of people also died, tsk~"

Che Shiwang opened his mouth, but he really couldn't say a firm word. He obviously has no idea now, so let's surrender... Wusun Tucheng doesn't even have a chance to repent, don't surrender...you can't see anything I hope that I have a bit of resentment towards Zhao Yun in my heart. After all, if Zhao Yun's chopsticks hadn't pierced his throat, there wouldn't be so many incidents later.

But now Zhao Yun seems to be the only hope. It is obvious that he cannot defend the city by himself. The most important combat force in this city is Zhao Yun's two thousand elites. The kind that was defeated by the army, Zhao Yun left, and Che Shiguo was really meat on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.

Those troops from other countries who followed Zhao Yun will also leave, and it is obvious that the country of Che Shi cannot bear it.

It would be great if it could be guaranteed that the people of Wusun would not massacre the city.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. If you only know how to compromise with a strong enemy, you will only get endless bullying!" Zhao Yun looked at the chariot master Wang Surong and said: "This time to provoke a war, although it is Yun provoked it first, but is the king really willing to see the subjects of Che Shi kingdom live under the bullying of the Wusun people?"

In this regard, the Han Dynasty is much stronger than the Xiongnu or Wusun back then. At the beginning, the countries in the Western Regions became the vassal states of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty rarely exploited them. This is also an important reason why many small countries in the Western Regions immediately attached themselves to Zhang Liao.

For the big man, as long as you recognize me as a big brother and are willing to listen to me, it is really equal treatment instead of oppressing others, and apart from the big man, no matter any big force becomes the lord of the Western Regions, it is inevitable Exploitation of countries.

Che Shi Wang hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and saluted Zhao Yun: "Xiao Wang doesn't want to either, but the difference is too big, 70,000 troops..."

"Don't worry, your majesty, as long as your majesty trusts me, there is still a chance of winning this battle!" Zhao Yun affirmed.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Liao was going to do, Zhang Liao had his own intentions in allowing himself to defend the Che Shi Kingdom, and the odds of winning lay with Zhang Liao.

Now that the matter has come to an end, King Che Shi can only say a salute to Zhao Yun: "Follow the general's orders."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "When the army comes, it is obviously not enough to rely on the defenders. Since Che Shi's people have all moved into Jiaohe City, it is better to persuade the people to defend the city with us!"

Zhao Yun looked at Che Shi Wang and discussed.

King Che Shi nodded. Now that the city is really broken, they have to die together. I believe that the people of Che Shi are also willing to defend the city together.

The first step is to send people to publicize and tell the people directly that the people of Wusun are going to massacre the city, not to mention other things, but only this, and the people will naturally panic.

The Western Regions are not the Central Plains, even if they are released from the city now, they have nowhere to go, besides, all their belongings are here, who wants to throw them away?

After this consensus is reached, the next thing is the division of labor.

Zhao Yun and Qin Yi selected young and strong as the reserve army, and the women were responsible for transporting supplies, delivering meals, and making some simple things.

Just as Che Shiguo's army and people were united and ready to fight against the enemy, Wusun's main force finally arrived.

When the wolf smoke rose in the distance, ditches were dug outside the city to prevent the cavalry from approaching, or the people who dug traps quickly returned to the city under Zhao Yun's command.

This time, Zhao Yun did not choose to divide his troops. The 70,000 army was more than 20 times his size. Even if he succeeded in stealing the camp, it would be difficult to achieve the same effect as last time. Moreover, Zhao Yun's soldiers are mainly infantry. The cavalry ran up, and the infantry was likely to be annihilated directly by a large number of cavalry.

The opponent's loss is definitely not small, but the price Zhao Yun has to pay may be the loss of elites.

After losing 2,000 elite Han troops and only relying on the remaining 3,000 miscellaneous troops, Zhao Yun did not have the confidence to win this battle, so after much deliberation, Zhao Yun decided to focus on defending the city.

In order to strengthen the defense, Zhao Yun also ordered two strongholds to be set up in the north of Jiaohe City. They were placed on both sides of the city gate, connected by tunnels, and formed a siege. Each stronghold had 500 elite soldiers, so that it would be difficult for the enemy to attack the city with all their strength. Siege the city and distract the enemy army.

The stronghold and the city are full of ravines, even if the enemy has siege equipment, they can't use them. These ravines must be filled, and if they want to fill the ravines, they will be exposed within the range of the two forts.

If you want to break the city, you have to break the two strongholds first, so there will be more time to delay.

Not long after the people outside the city withdrew, they saw a cavalry force rushing towards the city. It was obviously Wusun's vanguard. They didn't know the layout of Jiaohe City, so they rushed in. His purpose was not to attack the city. , but wanted to intimidate Che Shi Wang Kaicheng to surrender.

Zhao Yun knew that Che Shi Wang's will was not firm, so naturally he couldn't give the opponent this chance. The flag was waved here, arrows fell from the villages on both sides, and the horse was trapped by the ravine on the ground, making it difficult to move fast.

Wusun Xianfeng was in a panic, he didn't expect Che Shiguo to be more unreasonable than them, the two countries didn't fight each other, they screamed in anger and wanted to retreat.

Standing on the city wall, Zhao Yun could see clearly. He spotted the opponent's vanguard officer, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow, and the roaring vanguard officer was shot through the chest by his arrow.

The distance between the two sides was at least one hundred and twenty steps, and ordinary bows and arrows couldn't reach it. The soldiers who saw this arrow clearly couldn't help cheering loudly. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who have this accuracy.

On Wusun's side, the vanguard general died in the chaos, and arrows rained down continuously on both sides, causing chaos. At this time, the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Seeing the enemy approaching, it was difficult to muster the slightest fighting spirit. After leaving hundreds of corpses, they ran away in embarrassment.

After the victory in the first battle, Qin Yi briefly packed up the spoils, and the main force of Wusun had arrived. Zhao Yun hurriedly asked Qin Yi to retreat to the city with his troops, close the gates, and wait for the arrival of the Wusun people.

Wusun Shanyu obviously didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, he killed his vanguard general without saying a word, and in a rage, he led his army to Jiaohe City and immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

Jiaohe City got its name because the river surrounds the city. If the people of Wusun want to attack the city, there is no way to avoid the two strongholds. Unless they cross the water to attack the city, the two strongholds set up by Zhao Yun will have to face Yes.

After fighting down several times, it made Wusun Shanyu feel very awkward. He fought until the evening, and lost a lot of manpower, but the progress of the siege did not see any progress.

Especially the two strongholds in front of them made it difficult to see the situation of the battle, and at the same time restricted the direction of attacking the city.

That sense of awkwardness was especially evident when the troops were withdrawing, and the battle damage was also the most during this period.

"Tomorrow, send someone to tear down these two small villages!" Wusun Shanyu pointed at those two villages and cursed. If it wasn't for these two villages, how could a mere car division block Wusun's army's attack?

A group of Wusun leaders responded one after another, and only waited for the next day to attack again, completely eradicating the two strongholds.
