At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Or was Guo Peng's aura passed on to Guo Jin?

Even though all the military orders were planned by Cao Ren and Guo Jin just followed the script, even Cao Ren could feel the sentiment in the army.

So Cao Ren admired the heir educated by Guo Peng even more.

This heir is not ordinary, even if he can't compare with Guo Peng in military, but in this situation, in the current situation where the Wei Empire has almost reached the extreme of expanding its territory, whether it is a military genius is not so important.

The founding emperor expanded the territory to the extreme. What the second emperor, Guo Jin, needs is to maintain the success, to consolidate, to continue to move forward, to consolidate the territory of the Wei Empire more perfect, to check for gaps and make up for omissions, rather than to continue to expand the territory.

Therefore, Guo Jin is qualified.

For this, Cao Ren couldn't envy him, he really couldn't envy him.

Looking at Guo Jin, and looking at his naive son, he really felt that if he had a child as smart as Guo Jin, he would not have to worry about inheriting the Cao family business.

I hope that there will be one or two talented people in future generations.

Cao Ren was looking forward to it.

The Wei army swept up, conquered, occupied, and suppressed the Shule Kingdom. They treated the Shule Kingdom like other countries. Lose.

Since then, the civilization of the Western Regions has ceased to exist, and all religions, systems, and customs have disappeared. Only the powerful and advanced Han civilization survived.

But now, the brilliance of Han civilization is approaching Dawan Kingdom step by step.

Guo Jin reprimanded Dawan Kingdom for not handing over its tax account books in its capacity as the crown prince and the head coach, and for harassing the merchants of the Wei Empire with tariffs. The tariffs are unknown and damage the dignity and national character of the Wei Empire. It is a serious crime.

Now that all the criminal states in the Western Regions have been eliminated, if Dawan Kingdom doesn't want to follow in their footsteps, it should honestly follow Wei State's request.

Hand over the tax account books to the State of Wei for verification, and in the future, the State of Wei will send officials to interfere in the customs affairs of the State of Dawan.

King Dawan was terrified.

Chapter 1261 One thousand and one hundred and seventy one will never destroy Dawan, vow not to return to the country

Dawan Kingdom is no longer the original Dawan Kingdom.

At the beginning, the Dawan Kingdom believed that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not cross the entire Western Regions to attack them, so they killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty recklessly. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty insisted on beating them violently for four years, and they have since confessed.

Afterwards, Dawan Kingdom knew that if the Han people were angry, they would really attack across thousands of miles.

Not to mention that Wei's army, which currently rules the Han, has penetrated through the Western Regions!

According to reports from some Shule people who fled to Dawan Kingdom to seek asylum in advance, the Wei army went crazy and had already wiped out all the countries along the Western Regions, and Shule Kingdom was the last one to be wiped out.

Now the entire Western Regions are under the control of Wei Jun, and they no longer have a country.

King Dawan was even more frightened.

He was very worried that he would be killed by Wei Jun. He didn't dare to confront Wei Jun, but Wei Jun's request was too harsh, and he wanted to invade his sovereignty. This was an impossible condition for him to accept.

So he asked for help from the Kangju Kingdom and the Guishuang Empire, and at the same time urgently mobilized the domestic army.

In a short period of time, the Dawan Kingdom mobilized 3 people to the border city of Yu Chengcheng to assist Yu Chengcheng in defending the border defense line against the invasion of the Wei army.

Then mobilize the remaining 3 troops to defend many other cities in the country, especially Ershi City, which is rich in hard-earned horses.

After all this was done, the King of Dawan sent a letter to Crown Prince Guo Jin to explain what they had done and admit their mistakes.

He also stated that as long as Guo Jin is willing to strike, he is willing to donate ten top sweat-blooded BMWs every year, and the remaining [-] horses of various types will be selected by Wei officials.

This is a considerable amount of wealth, a considerable amount of bleeding, he felt that he was already like this, Wei Guo would not be so heartless.

But what Guo Peng wants is all of Dawan Kingdom, that piece of land, that piece of land that can develop agriculture and feed hundreds of thousands of people, who wants your hard-earned BMW!

wrong!You want land, you want bloody horses!

I have to be all!

Someone Guo said viciously.

Someone Guo's will is Guo Jin's will, and if his father wants them all, he naturally wants them too.

Absolutely will not let Dawan country have a single thing to fall into other people's hands.

Moreover, news came that further prompted Guo Jin to speed up his march——

The King of Dawan told Guo Jin that they had asked Kangju Kingdom and Guishuang Empire for help, and asked them to send troops to help Dawan Kingdom.

Moreover, the Dawan Kingdom itself mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the Wei army and defend the border.

As long as the Wei army retreats, everything is negotiable. If the Wei army does not retreat, then the army of the Guishuang Empire and the army of Kang Juguo will fight against the Wei army, and the Wei army will never succeed.

This completely angered Guo Jin.

He recalled that when facing the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops led by Li Guangli, Dawan also threatened that if the Han troops did not retreat, they would kill all the hard-earned horses and burn them all. They also brought out reinforcements from Kangju to threaten Li Guangli.

But the current Wei army is no longer the Han army of the past.

"Begging for mercy and asking for help at the same time, how can such a traitor be allowed to live in this world! Dawan will not be destroyed, and he will not return to the country!"

Guo Jin was furious.

The king of Dawan received the seal and ribbon of the Wei state, and he was the king of Dawan canonized by the Wei state. Although strictly speaking, like Wusun, he did not belong to the ranks of the Western Regions, he was also a vassal state of the Wei state.

Now asking for help from foreign countries and trying to use military power against the suzerain country can be classified as treason, so he didn't discuss it.

Out of anger, Guo Jin consulted Cao Ren and other generals for their opinions.

The generals felt that even in the worst case, they were not afraid of fighting Kangju and Guishuang. It happened that they also wanted to see how strong the armies of the two regional powers, Kangju and Guishuang, were.

If they dared to fight Wei Jun for the Dawan Kingdom, the generals would naturally not be afraid to fight the armies of these two countries.

Right now, the Wei army has enough food and fodder, and the military supplies from the countries in the Western Regions searched along the way are enough to last for four months. Four months is enough time for the logistics troops to keep up with the main force, so even if it takes four months, there is no worry that the army will suffer losses.

With the affirmation of the generals, Guo Jin had the bottom line and made a decision alone.

He decided to send people to the Guishuang Empire and Kangju State to tell them not to send troops, or they would face the consequences at their own risk, and at the same time ordered the army to advance at a faster pace, with Guan Yu, who is good at attacking, as the forward leader, and let Guan Yu lead the elite army to open the way.

So Wei Jun galloped all the way towards the border of Dawan Kingdom.

At the beginning of December, under the cold wind, Wei Jun arrived at the border of Dawan Kingdom.

Guan Yu ordered to build a military stronghold, rectify the army, rest for two days, prepare the materials needed for the attack, and then personally observe the defense system of Dawan Kingdom.

He found that Dawan Kingdom relied on the mountainous and highland terrain of the border area, and set up military camps in some very prominent places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Locked up every offensive route of the Wei army.

Only by breaking through the border defenses can they enter Dawan Kingdom and attack their border city Yu Chengcheng.

It seems to be a very good defense system. If the Wei army does not have long-range attack weapons, it is indeed difficult to attack, and it will cost lives.

But now that there are long-range strike weapons, everything is easy to say.

So Guan Yu dispatched siege troops to assemble ordnance, and attacked Dawan's army stronghold and defense system with fierce fire oil tanks, huge rocks, and thunderstorms. Screaming to dodge boulders, thunderstorms and flaming oil tanks before you even have time to put out the fire.

In winter, the air here is dry and there is little precipitation, so it is easy to burn with flames. The fire was fierce, and the fortifications of the Dawan army were destroyed one after another. The Wei army advanced step by step, step by step to seize the favorable terrain.

Within two or three days, Dawan's army was at a disadvantage and retreated again and again, putting the Wei army into the country. Guan Yu led an army of [-] to advance rapidly.

As a result, the Dawan army realized that they could not play offensive and defensive battles with the Wei army, but had to engage in close combat with the Wei army.

So on the ninth day of December, the Dawan army, led by some brave generals, confronted the Wei army and tried to fight the Wei army.

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he learned that he liked to fight head-on, but he didn't like to advance layer by layer.

Guan Yu ordered the army to take the initiative to attack, and the Wei army formed a neat formation to attack the Dawan army. The Dawan army saw that the Wei army's armor was bright, the flag was flying, and the fighting spirit was high, so they were timid before fighting.

The generals in Dawan worked hard to encourage the army to fight bravely. Some generals beat the drums and some blow the horns to motivate the army.

The army dared to fight, but the Wei army's attack also started.

As usual, there was a salvo first.

The crossbowmen of the Wei Army have always been strong and good at fighting, well-trained, and quite powerful. They sat down one after another, kicked off the bowstring with their legs, and aimed their arrows at a 45-degree angle in front. Same.

"put!"

The frontline commander gave an order, and the rain of arrows soared into the sky, drawn a beautiful arc, and fell on the Dawan army formation like a gust of wind and rain.

The Dawan army tried their best to defend with shields, but the Wei army's arrow rain had a strong impact, strong armor-piercing power, and a high frequency of firing, one round after another, and they paid quite heavy losses for this.

Wei Jun's arrow array maintained a strong battery life. When a soldier was exhausted, he immediately replaced another soldier to take over the shooting, so as to form a continuous fire strike capability for a period of time.

Although this period of time was not long, the physical blow and psychological oppression to the enemy was enormous.

Finally, the rain of arrows came to an end, and Wei Jun's hand-to-hand troops also stepped forward to meet Dawan's troops hand-to-hand, and began to fight fiercely.

Chapter 1262

When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the Wei army is not afraid of any opponent. Although Guo Peng cares about the strength increase brought by the power of technology to the army, he knows that a hundred times zero is still zero.

If the army itself does not have strong combat effectiveness, no matter how well equipped it is, it will still be unable to win the battle.

Even if you give them tanks, muskets, and planes, troops without combat effectiveness are incapable of combat effectiveness, and if they cannot defeat the enemy, they cannot defeat them.

When the difference in weapons is not large, the degree of training and organization is the core of the army.

It's not that Dawan's army isn't brave, nor is it incapable of fighting. In fact, their strength is not weak. Surviving in the complicated international situation so far is obviously not stupid.

It just looked weaker in front of Wei Jun.

As a result, when the two armies fought, the weaker side was quickly exposed. Facing the rapid attack of the stronger side, the weaker side was almost powerless to resist.

Wei Jun's spears were ruthless and accurate, and his shields were hard and good at resisting attacks. The two sides cooperated very well, and each could give each other the best support.

On the other hand, looking at the Dawan army, there is a big problem with the cooperation of the army formation, and the cooperation between them seems to be not tacit.

That's right, how can a professional army that is not out of production compete with Wei Jun's powerful professional army?

The difference between a professional army and a non-professional army recruited from time to time is really great.

After the two armies fought hand-to-hand, the Wei army gained the upper hand in a short period of time with the skillful cooperation between the various arms. The Dawan army failed to persist in the face of the Wei army's spears and large shields.

The soldiers in the front row were quickly turned over by Wei Jun, and the back row had no time to move forward to block the gap, and Wei Jun pierced the army formation, and the army formation collapsed.

Once the army formation collapses, it is over.

The Dawan generals used their own personal guards to resist, but there was also no result.

So Dawan's army was undoubtedly defeated by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu led the army to advance aggressively, and directly defeated the [-] troops of Dawan, which had the superiority in military strength.

In the first battle, Guan Yu beheaded 2000 people, wiped out more than 13 Dawan troops, beheaded [-] famous generals of the Dawan army, and captured a lot of people.

In the end, the remnants of the Dawan army, with less than 5000 soldiers, retreated back to Yu Chengcheng, and used Yu Chengcheng's city defenses to fight against the Wei army, intending to block the Wei army's offensive route.

Back then when Li Guangli dealt with Dawan, he did not choose to fight Yu Chengcheng and Dawan's army. Instead, he took a detour to attack Guishan City, the capital of Dawan, and chose to force Dawan to submit in a more direct way.

Anyway, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty definitely didn't want to destroy Dawan Kingdom at that time, but just wanted to crusade against them to obtain benefits.

But now, Wei Jun is going to destroy Dawan Kingdom.

So of course Guan Yu would not take a detour to attack, but commanded the army to attack the city unhurriedly.

Guan Yu didn't carry too many materials such as fierce fire oil tanks, so the army's siege was not strong, and the people of Dawan felt lucky, thinking that the Wei army was already at the end of its strength.

As a result, it wasn't until December [-]th, when Guo Jin and Cao Ren arrived with the main force, that the people in Dawan realized that they were wrong.

Guan Yu is just the vanguard.

When the overwhelming long-range firepower fell on Yu Chengcheng, the Dawan people in the city were completely awakened.

The Wei army besieged the city on three sides and besieged on three sides. A large number of fierce fire oil tanks burned a large number of buildings in the city. Determination.

Not only that, the Dawan reinforcements came to support Yu Chengcheng on December [-]th, but they were surrounded by the Wei army, and Cao Xiu and Cao Chun led people to ambush them.

The 1 reinforcements were wiped out, and the main general was killed.

Wei Jun threw the head of the general of the reinforcements into the city, and took more than a hundred prisoners of the reinforcements to the front of the city to behead them, completely destroying Yu Chengcheng's will to fight.

On December [-]th, Yu Chengcheng was broken.

Because they refused to surrender, all the administrative officials and military generals were killed to frighten the hearts of the people, so that the residents in the city did not dare to act rashly, and they desperately asked the Wei army to surrender.

After conquering Yu Chengcheng, Guo Jin led the army to approach Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom.
