Forcibly, Maimaiti's army was forced back more than 100 miles to the Padar grassland to the east.
At this time, Yu Jin arrived from Luoxi City with reinforcements, and finally wiped out the Maimaiti army in Yupadar!
at this time,
The army led by Liu Bian finally arrived at Jingjue.
Because of the cold weather, the marching speed of the army was slower than expected.
In just half a month, the 40 army was wiped out!
After the news came out, the whole country of Guishuang was shocked.
The Guishuang court was even more numb.
In a fit of anger, Suwei Deva I demoted the person who suggested attacking the Baiqi tribe from a nobleman to a pariah!
This Nima is also called the best fight?
Bai Ji is ten times more vicious than Huo Bing!
When they were attacked by Huo Bing back then, they only lost tens of thousands of people.Now that he was prepared to leave, he ended up with the whole army wiped out!
40 million people!
It's gone in half a month?
Even if he stood there and let Bai Yin kill him, it wouldn't be so fast!
Suwei Deva I couldn't figure out how these 40 people didn't exist.
Saying that they rebelled is more reasonable than annihilating the entire army!
Before the battle officially started, one-third of the army was gone, and the Guishuang people were once again dominated by the fear of the Han people!
Suwei Deva I changed tactics: build high walls, accumulate food widely, and defend the city together!
Due to geographical reasons, if the Han people want to break into the territory of Guishuang, they must first break through the cities of Malakanda, Lanshi City, Xunxian, and Youshiluo, Madara, and Huluoyega.
Specifically, it can be divided into the northern front and the eastern front.
therefore,
They deployed heavy troops in these cities, increased the height of the walls, and jointly defended the cities.
When the Han army attacks any city, other cities can quickly provide support.
In addition, they also arranged catapults on the city wall.
They learned the catapult technology from the Parthians, not to mention it is very cumbersome, and the range is not as far as the thunderbolt chariot of the big man.
But they have a high advantage.
With these catapults, they will not be afraid of the thunderbolt chariots of the big men, let alone the unscrupulous cannons with short range.
In addition, they can also use Assassin to sneak into the rear and interfere.
Everything is ready, and the people of Guishuang feel that their defense is impenetrable, and no matter how powerful the big man is, it is impossible to break through their defense.
November [-] AD,
There was heavy snow in the sky, and under the leadership of the emperor Liu Bian, the army of the great man arrived at the important town in the north of Guishuang, Xunxian!
Huo Qubing and Bai Qi got together and came to meet the emperor.
"General Huo, General Bai, it's been hard work for you to guard the frontier all these years."
As soon as they met, Liu Bian personally boiled a pot of Luoyang's good wine and handed it to the two of them.
Thinking about it carefully, Huo Qubing has not been back to Luoyang for five or six years, and Bai Qi is similar.
Both of them sacrificed a lot for the cause of the Han Empire.
Although they are absolutely loyal,
But when they heard the emperor's consolation, they were still moved for a while. The coldness of minus [-] degrees outside the tent could not stop their inner warmth at the moment.
The soldiers who were comforted by the emperor were even more enthusiastic, willing to dedicate their lives to the great man!
The appearance of Liu Bian convinced them that they were doing something great!
Their deeds will be immortalized forever!
After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing talked about the difficulty of attacking Guishuang.
"Your Majesty, the people of Guishuang are now defending the city to the core, and the city is jointly defended and protected by catapults, making it difficult to conquer."
"The attack range of their catapults is just about the same as our catapults."
Faced with this situation, the two peerless generals also faced difficulties.
It's freezing cold, and they don't want to fight a war of attrition.
"The minister went to test Xunxian City before, and their defense really prevented us from approaching." Bai Qi shook his head.
He wanted to share His Majesty's worries,
But now the Guishuang man is like an iron bastard, he can't get out of the turtle shell, which makes him very helpless.
"Don't worry, sir."
Liu Bian raised his wine glass and smiled slightly, "I have brought a new type of weapon!"
In recent years, in addition to the great progress made in the development of firearms, great achievements have also been made in other fields.
The secret weapon Liu Bian mentioned is one of them!
The two of Huo Bai were stunned for a moment, their surprised eyes were full of anticipation, "Your Majesty, what is the secret weapon?"
They know that His Majesty is a person who keeps creating miracles.
Therefore, he never doubted Liu Bian's words.
"You will know in a few days."
Liu Bian smiled slightly, deliberately putting off the situation.
at the same time,
The news of the arrival of the Great Han Emperor quickly spread to Xunxian City.
Assassin was about to move again.
Some people think that no matter how much the price is paid, as long as the emperor of Han Dynasty is assassinated, the balance of victory will immediately tilt in their favor.
However, this proposal was strongly opposed by the commander-in-chief of Xunxian City, Buhler.
Because Buhler once led an army of [-] to Shendu to support the Han army in attacking Shendu, he knew something about the Han army.
He remembered that the head of the Assassin Hall in Magadha personally assassinated the Emperor of Han,
now,
But she became the concubine of the Han emperor.
Obviously, the Emperor of Han was not that easy to kill.
He doesn't want history to repeat itself.
Someone also proposed to go to Luoyang to assassinate members of the royal family and important officials of the Han Dynasty, so as to create chaos and force the Han army to retreat.
Buhler did not refute this and reported it to the royal family.
Suwei Deva I thought this was a good idea, so he sent out all the Assassins and sent [-] assassins into the big man to secretly assassinate members of the royal family, officials of the court and officials of the state and county!
On the fourth day after Liu Bian led the army to Xunxian,
Sunny weather,
The horn of the big man's attack is hereby sounded!
……
Chapter 525
Hearing the roar of the big man's war drums and the clanging of horns, the hearts of Guishuang people instantly rose to their throats.
The so-called solidity is nothing but self-comfort.
When they really faced the attack of the Han army, their inner fear was like the creatures in the latrine being exposed to sunlight, and they kept drilling out.
Because among the 20 troops guarding the city, 10 have seen how the Han army tortured and killed the body.
Their combat skills, weapons and equipment, combat skills, and strategies are far superior to them!
The endless means and new weapons of the big man made them feel very powerless.
No one knows what new invention the big man brought this time after three years.
A few days ago, they thought that they had the chance to win, but in exchange for 40 soldiers, the entire army was wiped out. This is enough to show that their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Han army.
"Get ready everyone, keep an eye on the sky, the ground... even the underground!"
Buhler called a dozen important generals to his side and asked them to guard various key points.
Looking at the dark mass outside the city and the approaching Han army,
Buhler's heart seemed to be tightly held by a big hand, and he was extremely nervous.
"General, if the Han Chinese only have iron barrel cannons and catapults, then we don't need to worry."
A general who had followed him to get poisoned came to his side and comforted him.
They are poisoned, and these two are the most lethal weapons that a big man has seen used.
The reason why Amaravati was captured by the Han people was that they did not have the ability to fight against these two weapons.
now,
They introduced Parthian catapults, and the defense range was greatly improved.
Moreover, Xunxian is a mountain city, and there are not many places where thunderbolt cars can be set up, so they have an absolute advantage.
In addition, there is no river around, and the steam warship of the big man cannot enter.
Such a defense is not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
