Three Kingdoms

When Lu Bu entered the Qiuci area, smoke was already billowing where the chariot was passing.

Gao Shun and other troops who broke into the rear of the chariot division, after experiencing the incident in Jinzihe City, there was some estrangement as a whole, and the harmony was no longer the same as before.

Gao Shun also thought about dealing with all the military academies that committed crimes, but the problem is that the root cause of the crimes in these military academies also involves Wei Xu and others. Although the military is not a place that pays attention to fairness and justice, basic order is still needed. .

Therefore, Gao Shun called the military judge, recorded all the matters committed by these military schools, asked these people to put their fingerprints, packaged and sent to the rear, focused on the target in front of him, and moved the rest of the things. Let’s talk about it after the war.

This method of disposal was not good, but Gao Shun didn't think of a better way.

The charioteers knew the fighting power of Gao Shun and others, and it seemed that they did not dare to ask Gao Shun and others for a decisive battle. They used their familiarity with the terrain to scatter in all directions, either in a small group of thirty or forty people, or in a group. A large group of two to three hundred people divided up to harass Gao Shun's troops.

This kind of tactics gave Gao Shun a headache.

If it was before the Jinzihe incident, Gao Shun would have taken advantage of the situation to disperse and disrupt the situation with chaos. Normally, they can be divided into groups, one school and one song, sometimes even half a song, to fight against each other.

But now Gao Shun doesn't dare.

If what happened in Jinzihe City was forced out of necessity and without military pay, what if it happened again, twice, or more times?

Is it still forced?

The human heart cannot stand the test.

Gao Shun made some preparations before commanding the troops. However, what he did not expect was that the most difficult thing was not the battle with the chariot division, but the problems in his own military academy.

The more chaotic the battle, the more it tests the capabilities of grassroots military academies. In terms of combat effectiveness, Gao Shun feels that it is still somewhat trustworthy, but it is hard to say in terms of military discipline. Jinzihe City can be manipulated right under your nose. What will happen if it is released out of sight?

The Cheshi people had the convenience of fighting on their own, and seemed to know about Jinzihe City. They thought that they would be massacred even if they surrendered, so their resistance became stronger. Even if Gao Shunren preached that as long as they surrendered, they would be fine. No one in Che Shi believed that he could survive.

Perhaps in the eyes of the people at the rear of the chariot division, Gao Shun's army had turned into brutal and brutal invaders, and Gao Shun's words of persuasion to surrender were also regarded as the devil's deception.

Fortunately, concentration also has its benefits. Although the pass in the Tianshan tunnel that connects the driver's front and back was a bit difficult for Gao Shun, Gao Shun was able to break through it in the end and opened the door behind the driver's rear.

But he didn't have much food reserves in the tunnel, so there was no way to support war with war. Since entering the rear of the chariot division, the dry food carried by the military academy has been almost exhausted and is in urgent need of replenishment.

The current situation is like this. On the one hand, if he continues to advance, his tunnel may be recirculated and occupied by the troops from the rear of the chariot division who have a convenient location, cutting off the food road and retreat route. On the other hand, the food and grass in his tunnel It is not enough to supplement and support subsequent operations.

Are you waiting here for the subsequent replenishment of food and grass?

Or take the risk before going out?

But no matter which one he chooses, Gao Shun knows that he needs to make a decision quickly.

Soldiers are expensive and fast, and the longer the delay is, the longer it will take for the charioteers to prepare. In the end, even if it is a victory, it is almost as good as a defeat.

There are many things that make people crazy.

The descendants of the driver are also going crazy.

Cheshi Country was originally a small country.

The earliest car masters were called aunts. Of course, it may be because of the difference in pronunciation. In fact, there is not much difference. It’s just that the earliest car masters no longer exist. Just like the small countries such as Zheng, Wei and Lu that were caught between the big powers during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, their own development was not determined by themselves.

The rise and fall of the Cheshi Kingdom was the result of the joint operation of the Han and the Huns.

Therefore, the Cheshi Kingdom was inevitably divided. At the beginning, the Cheshi Hou Kingdom had only one tribe with a population of four to five thousand people and about a thousand herdsmen and soldiers.

The Cheshi Hou Kingdom may have been rubbed too hard by the Xiongnu and the Han, and it went crazy. When the Han and the Xiongnu didn't care about this area, it expanded crazily and annexed the surrounding small tribes. Our compatriots such as Che Shichangguo and others were not spared, and now it has become a country with a population of 40,000 to 50,000 and tens of thousands of soldiers.

It's really not too small.

It can't be considered too big.

But in Che Shihouguo's own eyes, they were already considered a big country.

He is short-sighted and has never seen the world. He always thinks that the world is just like this, and that he is the center of the universe. This may not be Bangzi's unique skill.

So at the very beginning, these people in Cheshihou thought that the big man was just a piece of cake?

When Gao Shun came with his troops, he discovered that the "ball" of the Han people was really painful.

Even in Gao Shun's eyes, the soldiers and horses he led were no longer in the best condition, and their combat effectiveness had dropped a lot. But for the people in the country behind Che Shi, it was still beyond their expectations.

Especially in his battles in the tunnels, it seemed that he had clearly beaten back the Han people several times, thinking that the Han people had lost their fighting spirit and would not attack anymore, but in the end it happened that the Han soldiers climbed up the city wall and broke through. The pass!

Although the pass is not very majestic, it is a pass after all!

What made the people behind Che Shi the most resentful was the group of heavily armored soldiers led by the Han general...

The people from Cheshi's country pride themselves on being brave, and they are invincible in punching children in this area. However, compared with the heavily armored soldiers of the Han generals, even the proudest Cheshi's descendants have to admit that The other party's ability is truly remarkable.

They seemed to be tireless and fearless, and rarely made mistakes. They always fought out at the most critical moment of the war, and they advanced and stood out among the rebels. The direction of their blades was always the most dangerous place. He was an authentic defender of Che Shi Hou Kingdom, and he once thought of setting up some traps or something to deal with them, but failed.

His tunnel was captured by the Han people, and there were naturally some voices and regrets in Che Shi's country.

Who else would like war except war madmen?

Especially a war that happens in one's own home.

His own territory has become a battlefield, and who can tell clearly that a stray blade can kill a person, and a broken blade can cut off the head of a prince.

Fortunately, the Han people were a little tired after taking the tunnel and were repairing it, which gave the people of Cheshihou country some breathing space. Otherwise, the people of Cheshihou country would not know whether they could sleep peacefully at night!

In order to deal with the powerful soldiers of the Han people, the people of Cheshihouguo thought about it again and again and decided to use the secret weapon of Cheshihouguo...

Black armored soldier.

In the dark night, a team of nearly a hundred people was climbing among the mountains.

It has been sunny these days, and the moonlight is naturally clear.

The rocks reflect the cool light.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draw water. Although the country behind Cheshi is mainly nomadic, relying on the Tianshan Mountains, it can be regarded as a bit of mountain soldier training. It is undoubtedly difficult for him to attack directly from the ground, and if he wants to go around and cause trouble, he can only use mountain troops.

After all, people have to have some dreams. What if we can burn the food and grass of the Han people?

The heavily armored soldiers of the Han people are indeed brave. If they don't have food, how can they be so brave?

It is obviously useless to calm the boiling water, and the people in the country behind the car can only think about draining the bottom of the cauldron.

In order to prevent the Han people in his tunnel from hearing the noise, each of these mountain soldiers from the country behind Cheshi tried their best to control the sound of their march, but some fine rocks still rolled down, making the valley increasingly quiet.

The Tianshan Mountains are not as majestic and steep as the Himalayas, but they are not that easy to walk either. Occasionally, someone would miss the mark, and the lucky guy would be caught by the person next to him, while the unlucky guy could only fall into the darkness with a horrified look on his face.

In order to march quietly, the black-armored soldiers also carried their mouthpieces in their mouths and tied them with ropes behind their heads to prevent the mouthpieces from accidentally falling during the march. Of course, this also makes them unable to make much sound even if they want to shout.

Cheshi Houguo has always concealed the strength of this team.

Even if a chariot master has never read a book on the art of war, he can understand the corresponding principles of taking the enemy by surprise.

Because they have used this black-armored army to gain a lot of advantages in previous battles with neighboring countries.

There are soldiers confronting each other in the front, and suddenly a fire breaks out in the rear. It is easy to be led to become some kind of righteous general, which will cause morale to collapse.

Snow never melts all year round in the high and deep areas of the Tianshan Mountains. The mountain soldiers from Cheshi's rear country can only climb halfway up the mountain. If they really go higher, they will not succeed.

There are not many mountain soldiers in the country behind the chariot division, so frontal combat will not play a decisive role. However, if they can get around and burn the Han people's food and grass, the Han people will probably retreat when they see that they can't fight. On the one hand, this does not require too much loss, and on the other hand, it can also demonstrate the ability of the Che Shi Houguo. It is said that it will be able to establish itself in the Tianshan area from now on.

In the distance, there seemed to be some fire.

That was the pass that used to be the back country of Cheshi, but now it has become a camp for the Han people.

The mountain soldiers behind the chariot looked at each other, their eyes somewhat revealing the madness of gamblers betting on everything.

In his tunnels and pass areas, there is quite a bit of post-war tranquility.

Bodies need to be buried and cleaned, and supplies need to be counted and distributed.

As the only capable general under Lu Bu, Gao Shun has always done a good job.

Although it is temporarily being repaired on his side of the tunnel, a lot of scouts are still dispatched to the Cheshi back country area outside the mountain road. Every few hours, sentries report back, all saying that Cheshi people They gathered outside the entrance of his tunnel, as if preparing to block Gao Shun and others in the mountain.

This is also consistent with the general military situation.

Gao Shun is now thinking, if once he leaves his tunnel, the guys from Cheshi's back country start a sparrow war again, how to deal with it?

After much deliberation, we still have to divide our forces.

Leave a part that you can rest assured to guard your retreat.

The rest of the people were led by Gao Shun personally and moved forward.

If we divide them again, we can't separate them. It's not that they are not good at fighting, but that Gao Shun really can't let go.

If he was just considering Che Shihou's country, Gao Shun couldn't be bothered to worry about the way out. Anyway, it was just a sudden rush all the way, relying on Che Shihou's military level, combat skills, or combat equipment that had not yet been fully developed. Yes, what else can compete with Gao Shun's men?

But with the addition of Guisun...well, Wusun, it's a little different.

Wusun was once very friendly with the Han people, but that was when the Huns were strong.

After the Xiongnu were defeated, the relationship between Wusun and the Han became somewhat subtle. The Han Dynasty tried to intervene in Wusun's successor issue, and wanted to promote someone who was pro-Han to become the king. Well, Wusun was called "Kunmi". Unfortunately, when the incident was leaked, it triggered the first large-scale royal court purge. .

Later, Wusun split and became Kunmi and Kunmi.

What they loved to see after that was the mutual conquest between the big and small Kunmi. Wusun's sphere of influence also shrank all the way. He retreated from the Western Region and gradually moved further and further west...

Later, it was said that he had a relationship with An Anxi Guishang or something.

The last time Lu Bu attacked Chigu, there were not only Kushans but also many Wusuns among them.

It is said that Chigu was still the capital established when the Wusun forces were still in the Western Regions. However, since the forces later moved westward, Chigu no longer valued it so much. Therefore, Gao Shun feels that if there is still some possibility of surrendering to Che Shihou, then Wusun is basically siding with Anxi Guishang and will definitely not give up easily.

The big man didn't know much about the Western Regions at first. In fact, many things were slowly picked up after Lu Bu entered the Western Regions. Gao Shun was already very cautious. If ordinary people don't care so much, let's fight...

Historically, Wusun did not know whether it was because of the rise of Xianbei or Rouran. Anyway, after the fall of the Xiongnu, Wusun did not receive much of the Xiongnu's inheritance. Later, with the replacement of new grassland overlords such as Xianbei Rouran from generation to generation, Wusun fled to the west, merged with Central Asia, and completely disappeared.

Some people in later generations said that the Wusun did not go west at all, but because of the struggle between the big and small Kunmi, the tribe was scattered in the Western Region. When the Tang Dynasty monk went to Xitian to learn Buddhist scriptures, the one holding the stick in front was the Wusun. Or maybe it’s a roundabout way of saying it, and it became a ‘hozen’…

In the middle of the night, Gao Shuncai went to bed with his clothes on, and not long after, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the west of the pass!

Those mountain soldiers of the chariot division climbed down from the mountains. Firstly, they were caught by surprise, and secondly, they were all dressed in black and black armor, so they were not easy to be discovered. They actually caught Gao Shun's men off guard!

When Gao Shun hurriedly turned over and sat up, the guards outside had already rushed to the front, knelt down and reported: "General, there are thieves from the west gate who have sneaked into the city!" 』

Gao Shun's face darkened.

With so many scouts posted outside, how did the enemy get inside the city?

Are the scouts out there careless and slack, or are these thieves secretly trying to find a secret passage in the pass?

"Quickly find out the details of the incoming enemy!" ” Gao Shun immediately sent another man to investigate, then raised the Chinese army’s flag and gathered his soldiers.

At night, except for the soldiers on duty, most of the soldiers rested. As for people who are awakened from their sleep, not everyone can wake up immediately like Gao Shun. There are also many people who get out of bed in this way and feel dizzy and confused.

If Wei Xu in Xihai City could train strictly according to the drill code, then these soldiers would have large-scale training at night twice a year, once in spring and autumn, to simulate attack and resistance. There are also some small gatherings on weekdays, so that in emergencies, a combat-effective queue can be formed smoothly, so that it will not be a mess.

However, it is a pity that Wei Xu is very concerned about money matters. As for these training matters...

Even if he is now transferred to Gao Shun, it does not mean that he can make up for the lack of training immediately. Except for the soldiers from Gao Shun's headquarters, the rest of the troops gathered at a significantly slower pace, and there was even some confusion.

This made Gao Shun feel a little angry.

The firelight was scattered.

There was a lot of noise.

The roar of fighting shook the mountains.

The shadow of death spreads among the rocks and loess.

Gao Shun did not easily throw the assembled troops directly into the battle...

Because Gao Shun knew that doing so would be even more dangerous when the situation was unclear and the scene was unclear.

After a while, the vassal soldiers stationed near the west city gate hurriedly sent people to ask for help.

Near the west city gate, there are those vassal soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is not too weak, but they are used to being scattered on weekdays. Suddenly it is difficult to assemble to fight, and they will inevitably be at a disadvantage, resulting in a chaotic situation.

"How many thieves are there?" 』

Gao Shun asked.

The soldiers who came to report the news were obviously in a hurry and did not know the details. They lowered their heads and reported: "The thieves are all wearing black clothes and black armor. I don't know how many of them they are!" When the villain came, he had already climbed everywhere and was fighting for the city gate! 』

Gao Shun frowned after hearing this.

In other words, when the soldiers come to report, the city gate may fall.

Where there is fire, the first to be confused are the vassal soldiers.

Ever since the incident in Jinzihe City, Gao Shun has lowered his evaluation of these people. But now it seems that it needs to be lowered even further. Within a few words, the shouts of killing had already spread, and there was also some faint movement in the driver's camp far away in his tunnel.

If the west city gate was intact, Gao Shun would have thought of resisting and killing the thieves out. But after Gao Shun captured the pass, the Cheshi people burned the pass when they were defeated, and many fortifications including the city gate were destroyed. it's broken.

At this time, manpower was gathered to retake the west gate by force, and many people would inevitably be injured.

It wouldn't matter if this was just a Ximen. There was still Tuwu Valley City to fight, and Wusun's ambush had to be guarded against. It was not a good idea to easily increase the losses here.

It's not appropriate to attack directly. What if you take a step back?

Gao Shun made a decisive decision and ordered his personal guards, "Open the east gate and avoid its front!" Blow the trumpet and order the whole team to withdraw from the pass! gunpowder! Get all the remaining gunpowder! 』

If you want to successfully counterattack, you must first break the opponent's momentum!
