Add 5/10 updates for the silver cute people under the sycamore tree)

...

The front curve is in front of the curve, the middle curve and the left is the method of using the vertical as a circle. This is the circular formation that every middle-level general and official of the Han army must learn.

This is what the art of war says, but even Sun Baiwan, who is illiterate, knows a truth after following Fu Jiezi for many years: "Full and powerful guard!"

So when they were surrounded by the enemy in the field, Lai Dan and Sun Baiwan called on the soldiers to approach each other almost at the same time and formed a circular formation toward the outside.

When the soldiers are shoulder to shoulder and everyone is facing the outside, they can feel the collective power and will not collapse suddenly when facing the enemy's attack.

Not to mention Li Ling, in the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry out of Youbeiping and was besieged by 40,000 Zuoxian King of the Huns. It was because of the round formation that the entire army was eliminated.

Although the proportion of the number of people on both sides is even more disparate than that battle, the Kucha people were weak, and the Huns were only three or four hundred, and Sun Baiwan still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He wants to survive.

With the long soldiers outside and the short soldiers behind, Sun Baiwan sent an eight-foot long sword, located at the outermost periphery.

The bronze spear was the standard equipment for the army in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, since the Han Dynasty, iron soldiers have replaced bronze spears, and soldiers using bronze spears have gradually become rare. When choosing long-handled weapons, everyone prefers the character "Bu" or "spike", but Sun Baiwan has a special liking for bronze spears.

Lu Jiushe once said that this was because Sun Baiwan planted land when he was in his hometown in Longxi, and making the spears were similar to waving the farm tools, which was true.

For example, at this moment, sometimes he held the sword high and pecked down hard, just like hoeing the ground, making a hole in the head of a Kucha man.

Sometimes he swung his sword horizontally, like a sickle wielding a sickle to cut the grass, cutting off the neck of a Kucha man, and then cutting the belly of another person, making him cover his intestines and wail.

The enemy heads gathered up and down in the distance also turned into melons in Sun Baiwan's eyes.

"They are all Dongling Gua, big and sweet Dongling Gua, I can cut off the vines."

This is the spell of fighting in desperate situations. Sun Baiwan can still keep his face calm and hold the spell of the sword tightly.

But Sun Baiwan could feel that after waving it a few times, the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier. The rest were the same, hungry and thirsty, and difficult to walk.

There were too many enemies. When Sun Baiwan was fighting with others, a Kucha soldier took the opportunity to approach and wield a short sword in the Western Region style to slash Sun Baiwan.

The force was very strong, and a few iron leaves on the iron armor flew out. The Kucha people wanted to stab again with their swords, but with a sound of deception, a shield covered Sun Baiwan and blocked him a blow.

But it was Lai Dan, who was right beside Sun Baiwan. Although he was injured and looked pale, he still insisted on fighting.

Sun Baiwan quickly stopped and turned his hand back, causing the Dongling Gua to fall to the ground and open the flesh.

"Captain, please retreat. If you die, who will command?"

Lai Dan's words were full of despair: "I will cause you to fall into this desperate situation. A hundred deaths are not enough to atone for your sins. Today's affairs are over. We may be buried in Luntai."

"Unfortunate words!"

Sun Baiwan was so angry that he gave Lai Dan a elbow: "Honor Nai praised his family. If he wants to earn a million yuan, how can he die!"

At this time, the people of Kucha also learned to be smart. They found that the fierce attack was difficult to work, so they retreated after a command, only following around the distance, and the bowman was arching towards the circular formation as he walked.

"Raising the shield!"

The powerful people in the Han army carried the wide shield "Wu Kui", while the rest held red-painted leather shields to resist the enemy's volleys.

It seemed that Sun Baiwan was scolding me a little sober. Lai Dan was trying his best to command, so they maintained the circular formation and slowly moved southward, like a turtle crawling toward the coast under the siege of countless seagulls.

After all, the shield is limited, and arrows keep falling from the gap, like hail falling to the ground at a rapid speed. Not everyone has iron armor. Some people are hit by the vital points and can never get up again.

Life and death depend entirely on luck.

Under the siege of arrow rain, the formation of the Han army became increasingly difficult to maintain. Even Lai Dan was arrested with an arrow. After a muffled groan, he fell to the ground and the sword in his hand fell weakly.

"Captain!"

Sun Baiwan hurriedly helped him, but when he touched it, he found that the arrow was very tricky, hitting Lai Dan's back and neck, and it was slanted downward, so he was afraid that it had damaged his lungs and internal organs. The blood was constantly oozing out, and the armor was extremely sticky...

"A general is incompetent, and the three armies are affected. I am sorry to you and the great man."

Lai Dan coughed with blood at the corner of his mouth and was seriously injured, but Sun Baiwan still helped him up.

"You are quite stupid in lieu of yours, but as long as I, Lao Sun, are still your personal guard for a day, I can't leave it alone."

He shouted for Lai Dan: "You guys, don't be confused, get closer to your robes and keep moving forward! As long as you enter the Hutong forest, your arrows will not hurt so much!"

But their circular array is hard to move forward half a step anymore.

It was already bright, and the morning was surprisingly clear, without even the fog that could be used as a shield. The 300 Hun cavalry who were always walking on the left and right were specially carried out to fire the Kucha people. The Han soldiers raised their shields to defend the attack and shot straight, and they were more accurate than the other.

An arrow pierced the Han soldiers' calves and arms, and everyone was covered with scars, but the poplar forest was still so far away.

The turtle shell slowly appeared in the turtle shell with its sharp beaks, and blood penetrated out, and it could no longer crawl.

The arrow was raining, and more than half of the Han soldiers died. Although the formation had not collapsed, they could only gather smaller and smaller. In the end, everyone could only squat under a small hill, with their shields facing outwards, blocking the arrows shot from all directions.

After a while, all the shields were full of arrows, and from a distance, they looked like a curled porcupine.

"It's almost done."

He continued to shoot like this for most of the time, until the arrows in the arrow bag were gone, and the Hundred Cavalry Captains of the Huns stopped everyone.

He pulled out his knife and urged two or three thousand Kucha people to surround him and take the lives of the Han people.

The Kucha people held weapons and approached the past carefully. The Han army did not move at all, as if everyone had died in battle behind the shield.

Until they approached within ten steps, the shields full of arrows moved away. In the last thirty or forty scarred Han soldiers, holding their broken weapons, rushed towards them with roar!

The leader was a big man holding a long spear and roared in a Longxi accent:

"A Hulu rewards 50,000 yuan for his head. No matter whether he is a Beilu or a Kucha Hu, even if I want to die today, I will cut up twenty pieces before I die and earn a million yuan!"

...

The Han army was fighting the Huns and the Kucha people to death, but in the distance, the commander of Kucha was already in chaos.

Faced with the sudden bad news, Guyi fell off his horse, his face as if he was earthy.

"Kucha City...is gone?"

The belated messenger stammered and told what happened, from Wusun attacking Taqian to Kucha, when the news reached Kucha, King Jiangbin of Kucha sent several people to Luntai to report to Luntai for help. As soon as he left the city, he encountered Wusun's forward scout.

Except for him, everyone was shot and the horse was dead. This man crawled into the forest before escaping. He dared to come out after dark, but he saw a few thick smoke ignited from Kucha City, and the crying sounds in the city were shaking the sky. It seemed that he had been broken.

So the messenger walked all the way and stumbled to the next Kucha city before getting the horses to report the message.

"I didn't expect to meet Wusun scout again on the road and got an arrow." He grinned and covered his wound, but Gu Yi was stunned.

He expected that the fastest reinforcements of the Han army would arrive at Quli from Yumen for more than a month. He never thought that the enemy would come from the west.

Although Daigo Ada and Guyi had conjecture that Wusun joined the battle, they did not expect it to be so soon.

"It was Princess Wusun, Prince, and the Han envoy, Ren Hong who escaped from Kucha City!"

Daigo Ada knew where his fatal mistake was.

"They did not escape to the southern road, but returned to Wusun to bring reinforcements. Wusun Fei King also ignored the Youxian King's troops on the border and was determined to turn towards the Han army?"

"Or, the Wusun has not reached the point where he goes directly to war with the Huns, and this is just a revenge on Kucha?"

The two of them were unknown how the Han envoys persuaded Wusun, but even if Wusun dispatched thousands of cavalry, they would not have taken down Kucha City so quickly.

But the facts are right in front of you. No matter what, it is true that Kucha was attacked by Wusun. The battle outside Luntai City has not yet ended. Guyi is already worried and doesn't know what to do.

“The situation has changed.”

However, Daigo Ada had already made up his plan: "Zuo Li Assistant, we must quickly kill all the stubborn Han soldiers, and retreat to Wulei City to block the Wusun people in order to siege the Yiguli King's army!"

The most critical part of this battle is not the Luntai, but the Iron Gate.

The damn Minister, the hateful Tiemen Pass, blocked the Huns' road to enter the Western Regions, as if they were stuck in their throats. As long as this pass was removed, the Huns' right army could move south smoothly and control the northern road before the Han army arrived.

"But Kucha City, Kucha King..." Guyi was still hesitating, considering whether there was a chance of winning after returning to the aid.

Daigo Ada laughed: "Don't worry, as long as King Youguli and King Rizhu can destroy the Iron Gate, after meeting together, turn the horse's head westward, it will be enough to drive the Wusun people out of Kucha. At that time, as long as you raise your hair, you will be the new King of Kucha!"

Gu Yi was silent. At this point, he could only obey the orders of the Huns' master.

The two looked to the south. The battle was coming to an end. The Han army's round formation was broken, and it seemed to be fighting to the death, fighting with the Kucha people in hand and hand.

Gu Yi was about to order everyone to rush forward and end the battle quickly.

But Daigo Ada turned around and looked at the West under the morning glow, frowned.

He seemed to hear something.

They come from the west, causing the surface to tremble slightly and causing the mount to be faintly uneasy.

Daigo Ada immediately jumped off the horse, lay on the ground and listened for a while, and his expression changed.

It was the sound of hoofs.

That's thousands of troops!

When he stood up, Daigo Ada could already see the guests from afar.

The lead was more than ten Hun scouts. They were trying hard to speed up and avoid chasing. The other party came too quickly and too fast, and they couldn't even get enough rewards.

Behind him, the dust was boiling wildly, and the one who waved his hooves to shake the earth was a total of Wusun horses, with strong muscles and flying manes.

Tianmalai, from the Western Pole!

Thousands of horses galloped and light cavalry urged them, and the first one was a Wusun woman, wearing a leather armor, wearing a pointed hat and holding a horn bow in her hand.
