The enemy came 80000? Li Kuang wrote official documents according to procedures and sent them to Chang'an and the emperor Xingyuan during his tour. At the same time, he mobilized some areas under his jurisdiction.
Thanks to the new system of the Han Empire, the Du Fu had the right to mobilize the people under its jurisdiction in the face of military threats. If the previous dynasties were to be, the local generals had no right to send troops and mobilize. There was only one army in Anxi Du Fu. Maybe it would be worse this time?
However, Li Kuang's mobilization only meant "routine". He really didn't take the initiative of the hunites too seriously.
Some of them may have failed, but on the whole, they have been moving from one victory to another. To put it bluntly, they are really proud.
According to the thinking of the Han Army, if there is an enemy attack, it should be said that it is a direct enemy!
Under the inertial thinking, Li Kuang had no idea of fighting a defensive war at all. He handed over the internal affairs of anxidu guard to Zhao Chang. He himself ordered troops in the morning and led the assembled troops to the Pinchi River in the afternoon.
As soon as they heard that there was a war to fight, they not only did not reject at all, but all entered into excitement and excitement.
For them, no war is the most terrible and sad thing. Once they hear that war can participate, one after another is happier than everyone.
There is no way. The system of the Han Empire is there. What status and treatment you want depends on the title.
So how did the title come from? There are many ways to get titles, but nothing is more direct and efficient than using the enemy's head to get titles on the battlefield.
Want money? Go to the battlefield and get the enemy's head!
Want land? Go to the battlefield and get the enemy's head!
Want beauty? Go to the battlefield and get the enemy's head!
Want status? Go to the battlefield and get the enemy's head!
Want to... Go to the battlefield and get the enemy's head!
For the Han people, the enemy's head is everything they want to get, especially for the white people. The enemy's head is the necessary thing to get a foot in order to cross the white body to a person with a title!
"Eighty thousand enemy troops attacked this time?"
"I heard more than 80000."
"That's really good!"
"Of course, the number of enemy troops is large, and the brothers can score enough points."
Not all the soldiers of the Han army were knights. Some of them had bad luck. They joined the army for so long and didn't have the opportunity to personally cut the enemy; Some have just made up from the county and county soldier system and haven't had time to participate in the war.
Some soldiers who are still white need the enemy's head to become knights. They are more eager than anyone to break out of war, so as to add 100 mu of land to their homes. Signs indicating knighthood can also be hung on the door panels of their homes.
Those soldiers who had titles were eager to participate in more wars, rely on the accumulated number of victories to raise their titles, obtain higher social treatment and obtain more practical benefits.
An army with pursuit never lacks the desire for war. They throw themselves into the battlefield with desire. What they want is to kill the enemy and exchange the enemy's head for everything they want!
When the Han army of Gumo started, they would take the route along the North River, pass through Shule, drug donation and rest, and then turn to the southeast to reach the penchi river.
Walking along the North River is a reasonable arrangement. The western region depends on oases and rivers to have enough water. Otherwise, it is difficult for a small group of people to obtain water on the premise of full Gobi and desert. It is even more difficult to ensure water supply for thousands of people.
When Li Kuang ordered troops in Gumo, the first batch of troops he took away were 3000 troops stationed in the shogunate. Later, there will be garrisons and auxiliary soldiers recruited from the rear.
At present, there is only one military establishment in anxidu protectorate, that is, no more than 15000 people. The 15000 people were divided into more than 30 camps, large and small. In addition to the long-term garrison of no less than 3000 troops in hunnit, which is adjacent to the western line, there are more troops in the shogunate where the capital guard is located, and then there is bailongdui.
The strategic value of bailongdui has always been not low. In addition to the large salt producing land on that side, it is also the main trade concentration of all ethnic groups in the western regions and the Backroad of the Han Army stationed in the western regions. How can we not pay attention to it.
This time, in addition to ordering the conscription of Han people in the western regions, Li Kuang also sent people to Wusun. The order given to Wusun was to let them assemble at least 50000 cavalry.
Wusun is a country with a long history. When the Huns were still there, the Wusun people always swayed between the Huns and the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty perished, Wusun released himself.
During the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wusun who released himself happened to fall into civil strife.
Waiting for Sima's family to re dominate the world and enter the western regions again, Wusun people once again chose to obey the Western Jin Dynasty with "inertia", and made some contributions to the Western Jin Dynasty's re control of the western regions.
Unfortunately, the good scenery of the Western Jin Dynasty did not last long. First, chaos broke out in the Central Plains, and then there was simply a "journey to the South". The Western Jin army stationed in the western regions lost its rear. Except that very few Jin troops could withdraw to the Central Plains, most of the Jin troops were destroyed by the countries in the western regions who were aware of signs.
During the period when the western countries eliminated the Western Jin army stationed in the western regions, some tribes in the south of Wusun sheltered the Jin army, which led to the Han people's re-entry into the Western Jin Dynasty, and some descendants of the officers and soldiers of the Western Jin Dynasty.
In view of the things that Wusun did that were still visible, and the Han Empire did not have the time to carry out merger for the time being, Wusun still retained the national throne although he was still divided.
At present, Wusun has dozens of leaders, big and small. No matter what their attitude towards the inside, they maintain the greatest respect and obedience to the booming Han Empire.
Although there is only one standing army in anxidu, and the Han auxiliary troops of no less than 30000 can be recruited and reorganized within half a month, there has been a Wusun cavalry of 5000 for a long time.
This Wusun cavalry serving the Han Empire usually did some dirty work, such as going to destroy the western people who dared to resist somewhere and being told where to destroy a horse thief.
As the Han Empire is at its zenith, the Wusun people are proud to serve the Han Empire. They don't think it's wrong to run around doing dirty work for the Han people. On the contrary, they are deeply proud. That's because the others are not qualified enough to do dirty work for the Han people.
Bossashan wanted to establish the anti Han axis this time, not without considering the cooperation of raousun. After some observation, they came to the conclusion that the Wusun people were not only happy to be dogs for the Han Empire, but also proud to be dogs. They thought that the greatest possibility of contact was to be sold by the Wusun people, so they did not pull the Wusun into the anti Han axis alliance.
It can be said that the Persians' view is very correct. If the Wusun people know that there is such an anti Han axis, they may struggle in their hearts, and then poke the news that the Persians want to anti han to the Han Empire.
Wusun is a fragmented situation, not a whole. On the premise that the strength cannot be concentrated, following the anti Han is pure death. They don't know how the Han people will treat Wusun in the future. Those tribes who show that they follow the Han people have a more and more nourishing appearance. It's better to muddle along.
The dispatch order of Anxi Du's guard house was sent to Wusun's departments. Most Wusun leaders began to assemble people and horses without thinking about it and drove away according to the route formulated by Anxi Du's guard house; A small number of Wusun leaders will think about it. They are not hesitant to obey the orders of anxidu guards, but wondering if they can bring more people.
According to the experience of previous years, the Wusun people firmly believe that fighting with the Han army will never fail. They enjoy the feeling of victory on the battlefield and like to share some of the spoils after the war.
As a result, Li Kuang only asked Wusun's departments to send 30000 troops, but the Wusun cavalry assembled in the back greatly exceeded 30000, reaching a scale of 60000. Some of these 60000 people are not particular. There are too young and too old, and there are not a few women.
When Li Kuang led his troops to the west, a fortress more than 80 miles away from the West Bank of the Pinchi river had entered a state of war.
The fortress is built on the top of a mountain. There must be fortifications along the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
There are more than 500 officers and soldiers of the Han Army stationed in the fortress. In addition to the soldiers, there is a civilian baggage team that has just transported knives, guns, swords, halberds and arrows.
"Come soon!" Wu Zhou was the supreme commander of this fortress. He had ordered war preparation in front of him, but he didn't expect the enemy's advance speed to be so fast. As soon as the front foot of the baggage team arrived, the enemy arrived at the back foot: "the enemy just left about 3000, and the rest of the enemy bypassed."
From Wu Zhou's position to the northeast, we can see that several dark shadows are moving. He has participated in military training and knows how to visually measure the number. It doesn't look like there are only 80000 enemy troops.
The enemy is not only in the northeast of the fortress, but also in the West and southwest. According to visual inspection, the scale of the enemy is definitely more than 150000.
"Give birth to wolf smoke!" Wu Zhou already knew the seriousness of the situation: "inform the rear of the scale of the enemy!"
How many people are there in hunit? Intact hunit can't organize an army of more than 150000 scale. It suffered such a painful blow last time, but it organized an army of more than 150000 in less than a year. Isn't that a joke?
Their fortress is not in the western regions, but within the borders of hunit. Just because a buffer zone of more than 300 Li was hit last time, the hunit withdrew cleanly. However, a large number of Han and Guiyi Hu people poured in, and anxidu protectorate built some military buildings.
"The enemy is going to attack!"
The slope of the mountain is very high, and only a step road is built at the foot of the mountain to the fortress.
More than 300 enemy troops did not crowd up the road, but spread about a hundred meters and dispersed to advance towards the fortress on the top of the mountain.
The inclination is really a little high. People have to use both hands and feet to ensure climbing up. They didn't encounter the long-range weapon attack of the Han Army in the fortress at the first time. After climbing more than 30 meters, the Han army finally reacted.
"Shoot an arrow!"
There were about 120 Chinese crossbow men standing on the wall of the fortress. They had long selected their own targets, either loosened the bowstring and fired arrows, or pulled the trigger to trigger crossbows and arrows.
The anti Han soldiers who were climbing up were shot by arrows at least 30 people in a flash. When they were hit, they made a dull hum or scream, and their bodies rolled down uncontrollably. In addition, most of the anti Han soldiers who were not shot by the Han army were lying on the ground, and only a few were still struggling to climb up.
"Even these enemy troops are dead. As long as we don't lack arrows, they can't attack." Wu Zhou was deeply confident in this. They chose this position and occupied all the geographical advantages: "the only thing to worry about is the water source."
The fortress is built at the top of the mountain. As long as people with common sense understand it, there is no water source at the top of most mountains. Only a few mountains with springs in the mountains can have water source. Just don't expect 500 or 600 people to eat it every day.
"As long as it can last for a month, it's enough." Yueshan was not worried at all. He said, "although something is wrong, that's what happened."
Yue Shan means that one month is enough for friendly forces from the rear to fight.
Wu Zhou thought more about things. Most of the time, the war is always full of variables. If their guards choose to completely annihilate the incoming enemy, they must deliberately lure the enemy further east. In that way, no matter how smooth the war is, it is almost impossible to finish it in a month.
"We still have to make the most serious preparations." Wu Zhou didn't have any idea of breaking through: "planning water, from today on, except necessary, don't waste water."
Yueshan only should "promise!" You can't be too cautious about war.
At the foot of the mountain, chilis frowned at the fortress on the top of the mountain. He comes from Persia and is the commander of this force.
"Explore the surroundings!" The main purpose of the test was to see how many long-range weapons the Han Army in the fortress had: "just now there were at least more than 100 arrows, maybe about 100? Only with about 200 bows and crossbows, no matter how many people died, we couldn't attack, let alone less than 3000."
Their greatest hope now is to find an attack route with better road conditions, but that is almost impossible. Otherwise, the Han Empire would not choose such a place to build a fortress.
"Along the way, there are as many as six fortresses like this, and there are more military forts and beacon towers." With a wry smile, he said, "there are at least 3000 troops in one fortress, and the fort can involve 1000 people. We have sent out 40000 or 50000 troops before we have officially contacted the field troops of the Han Empire."
So, in other words, Wu Zhou didn't see all the enemy troops? The number of this anti Han coalition army exceeds 200000?
