At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Sorrow and anger dominated Atami's army, and this sentiment erupted when Xinlimi attacked again.

Xinlimi's army, which had been gaining the upper hand for a long time, was overwhelmed by the sudden outbreak of mourners. More than 500 people were killed in battle, and Xinlimi hurriedly led people to flee.

This time, Atami did not pursue, but gradually narrowed the front line and the army.

Atami led the team back to the current population settlement, and led them to transform the hill where the residence was located into a simple fortress with a certain degree of defense.

Digging pits, poisoning, setting traps, placing obstacles, etc., and then all women and children above a certain height were forced to take up weapons to guard their homes.

You can't run away.

He can run, and the opponent can also chase him. With the bastard Xin Limi around, he will never stop dying.

Under such circumstances, local resistance may be the way to survive.

They are ready to fight a life and death battle.

Xin Limi felt that Atami was a bit evil this time, and he didn't dare to launch an attack alone, but took the initiative to send someone to contact Cao Xiu's Western Region United Army.

Prepare to join forces with Cao Xiu and launch an attack together to attack Atami.

On the other hand, Atami sent someone to contact Cao Xiu to make the last desperate defense.

Of course it doesn't make sense.

Cao Xiu handed over the defense envoy to Xinlimi, and Xinlimi killed him.

"Atami committed a heinous crime. He killed the envoy of the Shang Kingdom. Now that he is facing a catastrophe, he wants to repent. How can there be such a cheap thing? Don't even think about it!"

Xin Limi bowed to Cao Xiu and said, "Don't worry about Cao Duhu's performance, we will do our best to eliminate Atami and rebellion for you!"

"I will look forward to the results of Da Kunmi."

Cao Xiu was very happy.

He was very happy to see Xinlimi regain the will to fight because he came.

Now let's see if Xinlimi has the ability to really defeat Atami.

It doesn't matter if he can't beat him, the more people die, the happier he is.

Money can be given, rewards can also be given, and they can be earned back quickly.

People are gone, and they can't come back if they don't have more than ten or twenty years.

People are more important than money.

But Xinlimi obviously doesn't think so.

Although it is difficult to say about the armies of other countries, they did not dare to step forward and fight when Cao Xiu gave an order.

The war started at the end of August in the fourth year of Yande.

Chapter 1040 One Thousand and Fifty There is no doubt that this is a hard battle

The beginning of this great war is not an advantage for the Allied Army of the Western Regions.

In order to show himself to Cao Xiu, Xin Limi decided to attack first, and personally led [-] [Wusun Warriors] to launch a crusade against the helpless Atami.

Backed by Cao Xiu, Xinlimi was very courageous and thought he could win, but the result of the battle was not satisfactory.

To be precise, if Cao Xiu hadn't seen the bad situation and ordered the Qiuci cavalry to attack in time, trying to copy Atami's back, Xin Limi would have been overthrown by Atami head-on.

Atami was finally forced back by the Kucha cavalry.

The Kucha cavalry is still very brave in combat. In order to show their combat ability in front of the suzerain, the Kucha cavalry also used their old nose to fight.

And Xinlimi lost face in front of Cao Xiu, and in front of the three armies of Qiuci, Wensu and Gumo.

Sunlimi was very annoyed and ashamed by this.

He didn't even dare to face Cao Xiu directly.

Cao Xiu encouraged him.

"The thieves are stubbornly resisting in a desperate situation. Their fighting power is naturally strong, and they are not afraid of life and death. This is not something we can compare with. It doesn't matter. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It will be fine if you win next time."

Xin Limi was encouraged by Cao Xiu, and felt warm in his heart, but he still felt uncomfortable in the face of the vaguely disdainful eyes of the leading generals of the other three countries.

Those countries that used to tremble under the threat of Wusun, now dare to look down on me with the support of Wei State?

Xinlimi felt that after the war was over, they should give them a little color.

After the war is over, he can annex Atami's tribe and unify Wusun. When the time comes, his strength will not be restricted by others.

Sunny was delighted to have a sweet dream.

The Allied Army of the Western Regions continued to advance, all the way forward, and was counterattacked and deployed layer by layer in despair by Atami along the way.

Every time, Xinlimi tried to take the lead in attacking, but every time he might not be able to achieve results. The three armies of Kucha, Gumo, and Wensu took turns to support them, and only then did they continuously break through Atami's defense line.

Finally, they approached Atami's core defense area.

At the same time, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations led by Zhao Yan, the chief of the Western Regions, also successfully arrived at the periphery of Atami's core defense area, joined forces with Cao Xiu, and completed the encirclement of Atami.

It has to be said that under the battle of trapped beasts, Atami's army still has the will to fight.

Zhao Yan suffered a lot along the way. The losses of the armies of the four countries varied, and the two armies of Che Shi who lost the most had already killed more than 200 people in battle.

Obviously, Atami's Wusun army is not helpless, but the gap in strength is too great.

With less than 5 troops left, he was unable to fight against the Western Regions United Army with more than [-] troops.

Cao Xiu also appropriately gave Atami a choice.

Plead guilty, give up resistance, and surrender to Cao Xiu. Only in this way can you survive. If not, it is not up to Cao Xiu to decide how many people will die.

Atami killed the envoy of Xinlimi sent to persuade him to surrender, expressing his views.

He has given up surrendering, and he will fight to the end.

What is the difference between surrender and suicide at this time?

He is going to fight the final battle.

Facing Atami's camp protected by countless obstacles and traps, Cao Xiu and Zhao Yan observed it together for a while, and felt that this was not a big problem.

Therefore, the infantry of the Western Region United Army was required to dispatch in several directions at the same time, destroying traps and obstacles while dispatching, and clearing the obstacles for the rear army.

In order to let the armies of the countries in the Western Regions contribute honestly, Cao Xiu also asked some Wei troops to join in this operation.

Cao Xiu ordered the soldiers of the Wei Army to lead the troops of the Western Regions to attack Atami's camp with their big shields on their backs, acting as commanders in front of the battle.

Atami set up his camp on a relatively high mountain, which is a particularly good location.

The overall feel of his camp was condescending.

There is a water source in the camp, and there are traces of slaughtered cattle and sheep around. It is obvious that they are ready to defend and fight a protracted war.

This is a very clever tactic, which avoids the end of the main force being defeated in one fell swoop on the field battlefield and quickly losing resistance.

But in this way, if the food supply of the United Army of the Western Regions is more than him, he will starve to death.

It is estimated that he is also betting on this possibility.

He bet that the United Army of the Western Regions didn't have that much food.

He was right, the Allied Army of the Western Regions really didn't have that much food, the countries didn't send much food and fodder, and the Wei army didn't have much food and fodder. It would be very difficult to support them for two to three months.

And if Atami's troops killed a lot of cattle and sheep, with the determination to die, the Allied Western Regions may not be able to consume Atami.

Encirclement tactics cannot be successful, they can only attack, and attack with superior numbers.

This itself is also in line with Wei's purpose for launching this war.

It is the use of suzerainty that allows the countries in the Western Regions to expose their strength and consume their strength, especially Wusun's war potential. In this way, the advancement of the Wei army will become easy.

If there is an opportunity in the future, it is inevitable that there will be one or two such wars, trying to include all the countries in the Western Regions.

Consider it an experiment for now.

So Cao Xiu gave an order, and the Western Regions Allied Army's strong attack began.

The soldiers of the Wei army led the soldiers from the Western Regions to rush up the mountain, yelling, destroying obstacles, avoiding and demolishing traps, and then faced the defense of Atami's troops.

A large number of arrows hit from top to bottom, the arrows are fast and the aim is not bad.

The rate of armor and shield holding of the United Army of the Western Regions was not high. All the way forward, they were shot and killed by flying arrows all the way, and fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Or they were shot in the head and died violently on the spot, or they were shot in the shoulder or leg, screaming in pain, or they were shot in the chest or abdomen, and died after a burst of convulsions.

Anyway, a lot of people died.

Of course, the Allied Army of the Western Regions would not completely stop fighting back. The commandos like the Death Squad rushed forward, and the crossbowmen behind them also stepped forward to provide them with fire cover, constantly counterattacking with arrows, and covering the demolition operations of the commandos.

The two sides shot at each other, arrows rained down, and a large number of soldiers died.

Naturally, the commandos of the Allied Army of the Western Regions made such a brave assault, and Atami's troops would not only use bows and crossbows to attack, they would also use the superior terrain to block the commandos with spears from a high position.

Condescending, hiding behind obstacles and holding up a three-to-four-meter-long spear, they continued to stab, one who came up was stabbed to death, and one who came up was stabbed to death.

Rao is that it is difficult for the soldiers of the Wei army wearing armor to attack and break through. Some unlucky ones were pierced in the face and died on the spot, let alone soldiers from the Western Regions whose armor rate is quite limited.

The first wave of attack was soon unsustainable, and because of the huge losses, they had to retreat back to their original place.

After a little bit of loss, it was found that more than 200 people were killed and more than 500 were injured in a wave of charges by the Western Regions United Army, including two soldiers of the Wei Army who died in battle.

It can be said that the injury was quite serious.

I don't know how many people Atami lost, but it is conceivable that it must be less than the loss of the United Army.

Of course this is the case, being condescending is good for defense. Atami's troops killed only more than 60 people and injured more than 100 people. They won the first blocking battle.

This victory greatly boosted the morale of Atami's troops. They shouted excitedly and sang ancient songs to celebrate their victory.

The United Army did not have such an atmosphere, because it was repelled once, so the atmosphere was not cheerful.

However, this also made everyone expected. The several times of offensive failures were completely expected, and it was not worth being depressed.

It's just that Xinlimi felt very upset, and felt that Atami, who was singing and celebrating the victory, was laughing at him.

So Xinlimi requested to launch a second attack, and he will attack alone.

"Cao Duhu, please allow me to behave. I really can't bear Atami's mocking my clansman who died in heroic battle in this way!"

He made a request to Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu agreed, and mobilized a group of crossbowmen to cover him.

This wave of attack was launched very quickly, and Atami's celebration was immediately interrupted, and his army was once again engaged in a counterattack.

After nearly an hour of fighting, Xinlimi withdrew in embarrassment with nearly two hundred corpses.

Still failed to break through.

"Cao Duhu, I..."

"Needless to say, I have seen Da Kunmi's bravery. This is not Da Kunmi's fault, but the enemy's over-preparation."

Cao Xiu comforted Xin Limi, and then made a new attack plan.

Because the United Army of the Western Regions has a larger number of troops than Atami's army, they can implement a rotation combat system.

Specifically, starting from tomorrow, there will be a daily battle, and the daily battle will not stop, but it can be divided into three commandos. Each commando will fight one day, fight one day, and rest for two days.

Every country has to dispatch troops to form a joint commando. Regardless of the differences between countries, at this moment, everyone is a comrade-in-arms.

The commandos charged forward, the crossbowmen behind them provided them with fire cover, and the Allied Army of the Western Regions marched bravely together to attack Atami's defense line.

They have a large number of people and can fight for a day or two, but the opponent has few people and must go to battle every day, so they will soon be exhausted.

With this human advantage, the results can be seen in about ten days and half a month.

"Our army should give full play to the advantage of having a large number of people and make full use of this advantage to suppress Atami's terrain advantage. I believe we will see results soon."

Cao Xiu announced his strategy and tactics.

They didn't dare to object to Cao Xiu's decision, and Wei Jun would also go into battle, not watching them as cannon fodder, so they did what Cao Xiu said.

For the next few days, Cao Xiu personally sat in command of the Allied Army of the Western Regions to continuously attack upwards.

Fighting every day, non-stop, using the advantage in numbers to fight against Atami, in order to counter Atami's terrain advantage and preparation advantage, forcing them to not get enough rest time and had to hold on Energy comes to fight.
