Under such a crisis, Atami also achieved the limit he could do.

For example, when trying to defend this matter and throwing the blame on Xinlimi, he slandered Xinlimi, excused himself, and said that all the blame was done by Xinlimi.

Then he also said that he was willing to apologize, how much cattle, sheep, horses and money he gave, and was willing to be a vassal of the Wei Empire forever, and asked Cao Xiu not to attack him or others.

Then spread various news to your own people.

What he said was Xinlimi's conspiracy, a bastard done by Xinlimi. Xinlimi killed the people of Wei and blamed them. He had already defended Cao Xiu, and Cao Xiu would believe him.

They should unite to kill Xinlimi to prove their innocence or something.

Not to mention, in a state of terror, Atami's statement has really become a life-saving straw for some people.

They were willing to believe Atami's statement, and under Atami's leadership, they fought back against Xinlimi, and they actually stabilized the situation.

The two sides entered a confrontation again.

However, Xinlimi's advantages can no longer be reversed. Even in a confrontation, Xinlimi will continue to lead the army to take the initiative to attack, but Atami cannot do this.

The incident of Cao Xiu leading the troops of the seven kingdoms in Shanbei to attack Atami is too big.

Under this situation, in late August of the fourth year of Yande, the troops of Kucha, Gumo and Wensu had all arrived in the city of Qian, and were inspected by Cao Xiu, the protector of the Western Regions.

To be honest, looking at these armies, Cao Xiu had a feeling of going back to the time when he saw Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's armies more than ten years ago.

The enemy I saw at that time was the feeling in front of me.

The slander is scattered, the snails are snails, and the military equipment is not unified.

Some of the fronts are considered elite troops, and the more you can see those people holding various weapons, wearing clothes that are not even armored.

It was instantly recruited.

With the size of these countries, it is not easy to maintain a standing army of hundreds to one thousand.

Other troops are temporarily recruited during wars. If there are too many troops, they will be out of stock. Once they are out of stock, raising troops is a huge burden for the country.

Mr. Guo is engaged in military farming nationwide and desperately squeezes farmers to accumulate food to support professional army. The productivity of these small countries is simply not enough to support the maintenance of a large number of army troops.

That is, now we can just come out to please Cao Xiu so that we can ask for rewards after winning the battle in the future.

After the war ended, most of the people here would definitely be dismissed and returned home to continue to plow the fields and farm as cattle and horses.

So they don't expect to have any combat effectiveness.

It is really impossible to believe that they can do it by assembling a tight military formation like the Wei army.

The same thing can also happen in Wusun.

There will not be too many regular troops in Wusun Da Kunmi and Xiao Kunmi. Once they are pulled up, tens of thousands of people are pulled up. Usually, there are only one or two thousand regular troops, and they will only gather temporarily when they are about to fight.

Now they have gathered temporarily, and other countries can also gather temporarily.

Cao Xiu didn't care whether these troops were trying their best or not. Anyway, they were all mobs, and they were the ones who were used as cannon fodder and consumed each other with the Wusun people, which was the most beautiful.

Cao Xiu's decisive power was two thousand Wei cavalry, and two thousand elite Wei cavalry had not yet used Cao Ren's support.

Cao Ren sent someone to ask if Cao Xiu needed military support, but Cao Xiu shook his head and refused.

Because Cao Xiu felt that on such a battlefield, the two thousand elite soldiers were enough to demonstrate the strength of the Wei army.

When the Wei cavalry appeared, it did blind the eyes of many generals in Kucha and other countries.

They were really strange when they saw the Wei army's exquisite armor and thick and long weapons.

Could it be that the Wei army can use these terrible long weapons to fight immediately?

After looking again, they found that there was something like a seat cushion under the butt of the Wei army cavalry, with the middle lower and the sides higher, as if it could play a role in stabilizing the body...

New equipment?

There are also stirrups on both feet, and they all have one side, which is used to facilitate the convenience of getting on and off the horse, but the Wei cavalry has two sides...

Is this a new type of equipment?

The brave one stepped forward to ask if Cao Xiu was new equipment, and Cao Xiu gave a positive answer.

"My Majesty Wei, Emperor Wei, cares about the hard work of our soldiers, and specially tailor-made equipment for our soldiers is exquisite and expensive. Why are you interested?"

They all expressed that they were just curious and could not be interested.

They had seen such equipment before when they were in the joint caravan, but they were all focused on goods and making money at that time, so they didn't pay attention. This time they were about to fight.

Is it any point?

They didn't care too much.

Cao Xiu held a oath-taking ceremony in its Qiancheng, and then led a 30,000-strong Western Regions United Army to attack north to find trouble for the Wusun people.

Not long after, Zhao Yan, the chief of the Western Regions, also led 20,000 joint troops from the other four countries to attack the Wusun people from another direction.

Under the leadership of Cao Xiu and Zhao Yan, the two Western Regions joint forces launched attacks on Wusun Xiao Kunmi Atami respectively. This was the first time after about sixty or seventy years.

Looking back further, it was a defeat in the Eastern Han Dynasty led by the Chief of the Western Regions.

It was also the same war initiated by the Chief of the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty, leading the Western Regions countries to send troops to fight against rebel and unjust officials, but unfortunately, they were defeated.

After that defeat, the Eastern Han government gradually lost control of the countries in the Western Regions and then encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

And this time, Cao Xiu was not mentally prepared to defeat the war.

He wants to win battles and establish his prestige.

In the future, the annexation of the Western Regions will require the foundation of this battle.

Atami encountered a roller coaster-like mood change in a short period of time. After the messenger sent to Cao Xiu to seek peace, Cao Xiu was chopped back with his head and sent back.

He tried hard to spread the news that this was a Xinliui conspiracy, trying to reverse public opinion and stabilize people's hearts.

But his own heart has not been stabilized, so how can he stabilize the hearts of his subordinates?

Finally, while Xinlimi ahead was still launching attacks, news that Cao Xiu led the Western Regions United Army to attack him in two groups was still coming.

News that made him desperate and overwhelmed.

And in such a strong despair, a new conspiracy launched a strong attack on him.

The five elders of the clan thought that everything was Atami's fault, so they decided to unite to kill Atami and use his head to apologize to Cao Xiu in exchange for Cao Xiu's forgiveness.

However, when they started to implement the plan, they were defeated by Atami because of their bad luck.

In a rage, Atami led his personal guard to kill them all, cut off their heads and hung them on the flagpole to establish his authority.

After such a sneak attack coup, Atami's mentality changed.

Extreme panic turned into extreme madness. He killed the rebels frantically and then made a crazy speech to the soldiers who followed him.

They are said to be a group of abandoned people, abandoned by the despicable rebels and the evil Wei people.

They are about to become victims, together with their families and their property, they will become victims. Their families will be ravaged like slaves, their property will be deprived, and no one will survive.

The only hope for survival is to fight to the end, follow him and fight to the end.

Use the only life you can lose to make your last bet, pick up your own weapons, ride your own war horse, and make your last resistance!

After a passionate and crazy speech, Atami miraculously integrated the shaky morale of the army and the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Everyone who remains believed they were abandoned.

They will be deprived of everything, including their family and property.

If they don't fight hard, they will lose everything.

The only hope is to follow Atami to the end!

If they don’t give us peace, we must use our own courage to bring peace out!

After the tribes of Atami shed tears of pain, under the stimulation of Atami, each of them made a bloody oath - a oath to fight to the end.

An atmosphere of mourning soldiers gradually spread and enveloped the entire tribe.

In addition to those who escaped in advance, the more than 19,000 soldiers left by Atami were also the last force he could rely on. Faced with the siege army that was several times more than his own, they had no way out.

Their wives and children are behind them, and they have no way out.

Sorrow and anger dominated Atami's army, and this emotion broke out when Xinlimi came again.

For a long time, Xinlimi's army, which had been gaining the upper hand, was beaten by the sudden outbreak of sorrow soldiers, and more than 500 people died in battle. Xinlimi hurriedly led his people to flee.

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

Atami led his team back to his current population settlement and led them to transform the hill where they lived into a simple fortress with certain defense.

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

Running can't be eliminated.

He can run away, and the other party can chase him. With Xinlimi, this bastard will definitely stay alive.

In such a situation, on-site resistance may be a way out.

They are ready to fight a life-and-death battle.

Xinlimi felt that Atami was a little evil this time, so she didn't dare to launch an attack alone, but instead took the initiative to send someone to contact Cao Xiu's Western Regions United Army.
