The beginning of this war was not an advantage for the Western Regions United Army.

In order to show himself to Cao Xiu, Xinlimi decided to attack first and personally led 10,000 [Wusun Warriors] to launch a battle against the isolated Atami.

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

To be precise, if Cao Xiu had not seen the situation not good and ordered the Kucha cavalry to attack in time and tried to capture Atami's retreat, Xinlimi would have been beaten by Atami head-on.

Atami was eventually forced back by the Kucha cavalry.

The Kucha cavalry was still very brave in fighting. In order to show their combat abilities in front of the sect leader, the Kucha cavalry also used his old nose to fight.

Xinlimi also lost the boss's face in front of Cao Xiu, Kucha, Wen Su and Gu Mo's three kingdoms army.

Xinlimi was very annoyed and ashamed of this.

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

Cao Xiu encouraged him.

"The thief fights stubbornly in desperate situations, and naturally has strong combat power and is not afraid of life and death. This is not something we can compare with. It doesn't matter. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Just win next time."

Xinlimi was encouraged by Cao Xiu and felt warm in his heart, but he still felt unhappy when faced with the faint contemptuous look of the other generals leading the three countries.

These countries that were once trembling under the intimidation of Wusun now dare to look down on me with the support of Wei?

Xinlimi felt that after the war was over, he would give them some color.

After the war is over, he can annex Atami's tribe and unify Wusun. At that time, his strength is strong and no one can restrict it.

Xinlimi started a dream happily.

The Western Regions United Army continued to advance, and was attacked by Atami's desperate counterattack and layered defenses.

Xinlimi always strives to take the lead in attacking, but every time it may not achieve results. Kucha, Gumo and Wensu three countries took turns to support, and then they continued to break Atami's defense line.

Finally, they approached Atami's core armament zone.

At the same time, the four-nation joint army led by Zhao Yan, the chief of the Western Regions, successfully arrived at the periphery of Atami's core defense zone, met with Cao Xiu, and completed the encirclement of Atami.

It has to be said that under the battle between trapped beasts, Atami's army still has a strong fighting will.

Zhao Yan suffered a lot along the way, and the army of the four countries suffered a lot of losses, and the two armies of Cheshi, which had the largest losses, had more than 200 people killed in battle.

Obviously, Atami's Wusun army was not powerless to fight back, but the gap in strength was too big.

With less than 20,000 troops left, he was unable to fight against the Western Regions Joint Army, which had more than 50,000 troops.

Cao Xiu also gave Atami a choice appropriately.

Only by confessing guilt, giving up resistance, surrendering to Cao Xiu can you survive. Otherwise, Cao Xiu could not decide how many people he would die.

Atami killed the envoy sent by Xinlimi who was sent to persuade the surrender and expressed his opinion.

He had given up surrendering and he wanted to fight to the end.

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

He wants to make the final battle.

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

Therefore, the infantry of the Western Regions United Army was asked to move in several directions at the same time, destroying the traps and obstacles while deploying, and clearing the obstacles for the rear army.

In order to make the troops of the Western Regions work honestly, Cao Xiu also let some Wei troops join the operation.

Cao Xiu ordered the soldiers of the Wei army to lead the troops of the Western countries to attack Atami's camp with a large shield and act as commanders of the front line.

Atami set up his camp on a tall mountain bag, which is a particularly good location.

The overall feeling of his camp is condescending.

There is water source in the camp, and there are traces of cattle and sheep slaughtered around it. It is obvious that I am ready to defend the dead and fight a protracted war, and I plan to use protracted war and defensive war to resist the Western Regions United Army.

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

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

I guess he is also betting on this possibility.

He bet that the Western Regions United Army did not have that much food.

He bet right, the Western Regions United Army really didn't have that much food, the countries did not send much food, and the Wei army did not have much food and fodder, so it would be difficult to support it for two to three months.

If Atami's troops killed many cattle and sheep, with the determination to die, the Western Regions United Army might not have been able to waste Atami.

The encirclement tactic cannot be successful, it can only attack and attack with the advantage of the number of people.

This itself is in line with the purpose of Wei State for launching this war.

It is the use of sovereignty that exposes strength and consumes strength in the Western Regions, especially the war potential of Wusun. In this way, the advancement of the Wei army will become easy.

If you have the chance in the future, you will inevitably have one or two such wars to include all the countries in the Western Regions.

Now it's just an experiment.

So Cao Xiu gave his order and the strong attack of the Western Regions United Army began.

The Wei soldiers led soldiers from various countries in the Western Regions to rush up the mountain, destroying obstacles, avoiding, demolishing traps, and then facing the defense of Atami's troops.

A large number of arrows attacked from top to bottom, the arrows were so fast that they were also very accurate.

The Western Regions United Army's armor and shield holding rate were not high. They advanced all the way, were shot by flying arrows and killed, and fell to the ground and could never get up again.

He was either hit on the head, died suddenly on the spot, or was shot on the shoulder, legs, and wailed in pain, or was shot on the chest, abdomen, and then died after a twitch.

There are really many dead people anyway.

Of course, the Western Regions United Army would not not fight back at all. The assault team, like the suicide squad, rushed forward, and the crossbowmen behind them also stepped forward to provide fire cover for them, constantly counterattacking with arrows to cover the assault team's demolition operation.

The two sides shot at each other, and arrows were like rain, and a large number of soldiers were killed.

Naturally, the commandos of the Western Regions United Army were so brave that Atami's troops would not only use crossbows to launch attacks. They would also use their superior terrain to block the commandos with spears from a high place.

He hid from a high place behind the obstacle, holding a three or four-meter-long spear and stabbed continuously, one was stabbed to death, and one was stabbed to death.

Even if the Wei army soldiers wearing armor came forward to attack, it would be difficult to break through. Some of the unlucky ones were pierced on the face and died on the spot, let alone Western Region soldiers with a very limited armor rate.

The first wave of attack was quickly unsustainable, and because of the huge losses, they had to retreat and return to their original position.

After a little loss, it was found that the Western Regions United Army killed more than 200 people and injured more than 500 people in a charge, including two Wei soldiers.

It can be said that the damage was quite serious.

I don’t know how many people Atami lost, but it can be imagined that it must have lost less than the United Army.

Of course this is the case. Being condescending is conducive to defense. Atami's troops died in battle and only more than 60 people were injured, and they won the first blocking battle.

This victory greatly inspired 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 happy.

However, this also made everyone expect something that the offensive failures were completely expected and was not worth frustrating.

But Xinlimi felt very unhappy and felt that Atami, who was singing and celebrating victory, was mocking him.

So Xinlimi requested a second attack, and he would attack alone.

"Prince Cao, please allow my behavior. I really can't stand Atami's mocking of my bravely killed tribe members in this way!"

He made a request to Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu allowed it and mobilized a group of crossbowmen to cover him.

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

After almost an hour of hard work, Xinlimi with nearly two hundred corpses retreated in a panic.

Still failed to make a successful breakthrough.

"Protector Cao, I..."

"No need to say, I see Da Kunmi's bravery. This is not Da Kunmi's sin, but the enemy is too well prepared."

Cao Xiu comforted Xinlimi and then made a new offensive plan.

Because the number of the Western Regions United Army is larger than that of Atami's army, they can implement a rotating rest combat system.

Specifically, it is to start from tomorrow, and the daily battles will not stop, but it can be divided into three commandos, each commando will fight for one day, fight for one day, and rest for two days.

Every country must dispatch troops to form a joint commando. Putting aside the differences in countries, everyone is a comrade in the army at this moment.

The commando attacked forward, and the crossbowmen provided fire cover for them behind them. The Western Regions United Army fought forward bravely to attack Atami's defense line.

They have many people, so they can fight for one day and rest for two days, while the other party has fewer people, so they have to go to war every day, so they will soon be exhausted.

With this manpower advantage, you can see results in about ten days and half a month.

"Our army should give full play to its advantages of large numbers of people and make full use of this advantage to suppress Atami's terrain advantages. I believe that the results will be seen soon."

Cao Xiu announced his own strategies and tactics.

Cao Xiu made this decision, and they dared not object, and the Wei army would also go into battle, not because they were watching them as cannon fodder from behind, so they did what Cao Xiu said.

For several days, Cao Xiu personally took charge of commanding the Western Regions United Army to continuously attack upwards.

They fought every day, constantly fighting with Atami with their number of advantages, in order to compete with Atami's terrain advantages and preparation advantages, forcing them to not have enough rest time and have to support their energy to fight.

Every day they face the energetic Western Regions United Army, and every day they have to fight very tired hand-to-hand combat. Although their losses are not large, the energy loss is sufficient.

Atami obviously did not realize this in time, and he was just happy for his continuous victory.

Every day's battle can repel the Western Regions United Army, and every battle can take away the lives of dozens or hundreds of soldiers of the Western Regions United Army.

After seven days, more than one thousand people were killed in battle in the Western Regions United Army, and more than five hundred people were killed in battle at Atami.

The number of people killed in battle is not very large, but the number of people injured is higher than the number of people killed in battle.

The food of both sides did not bottom out, and the strategy and tactics did not cause a fundamental change in the situation. This made the generals of the Western Regions embarrassed and had some ideas of retreating.

Cao Xiu did not give any speech, but commanded the eighth day's battle normally.
Chapter completed!
