Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ????????????????????????????????????????? Most people who think they are very smart like to use their enemies to control their enemies, but almost no one can succeed.  Those who are not smart tend to have failed plans; while those who are smart either feed tigers or lead wolves into the house.

    Bai Liji is not a smart person, so he just failed in his hopes.  The envoy from Kucha Kingdom arrived at the tent of Shekui Khan and asked Shekui Khan for reinforcements. However, at this time, Shekui Khan was suppressing a rebellion in the river and had no time to care about the affairs of Kucha Kingdom. He supported the two forces without any pain.  sentence, the overall meaning is to let Qiuci hold on.

    But Bai Liji simply couldn't hold it any longer.

    Although Bai Sufa Bohan is a puppet, he is still the king of Qiuci Kingdom and the master of a country. He has his own people who are loyal to him and those who pretend to be loyal to him.  Therefore, Bai Liji killed Bai Su and Bohan, which immediately caused a shock in the country, and many people attacked Bai Liji one after another.

    Even Bai Liji¡¯s former ally, his openly rebellious brother Bai Shibi, attacked Gumo in the name of avenging the king.

    In order to deal with these people, Bai Liji was very troubled.

    In April of the 10th year of Daye, Huang Mingcheng led the main force of the Sui army to defeat Kubera City, Asiyan City and other places.

    Bahuan City was the old capital of the Gumo Kingdom, also called Nancheng. Later Gumo was destroyed by the Kucha Kingdom, and Bahuan City became an important town in the west of the Kucha Kingdom.

    Bailiji has been operating the city for many years, and it was difficult for the Sui army to capture it for a while.

    So Huang Mingcheng ordered Bai Yuande to continue the siege of Bachao City, and he led his troops to attack Wensu Dashi City to the west.

    Wensu State, also called Wensu, was annexed by Gumo in the early years, and later it was included in Qiuci.  This place was originally occupied by one of Bai Liji's younger brothers, but was later taken over by Bai Liji.

    Further northwest from here is Atami, which is already on the grassland.  Huang Mingcheng attacked this place in advance to prevent Shekui Khan from leading his troops south to attack the Sui army's rear while the battle between the two sides was in full swing.

    There are not many soldiers and horses in Dashi City, only more than a thousand people. It is mainly because Bailiji concentrated his troops in Bathuai City, resulting in a shortage of defenders.

    The Sui army attacked the city and quickly occupied the place.

    So Huang Mingcheng returned to the army and changed the city.

    It is now June, which is the flood season.  Most of the water in the Western Regions is inland rivers, and the water source is mostly melted snow water from Tianshan Mountains, so Tianshan Mountains are called the mother mountain of the Western Regions.

    Huang Mingcheng saw that it was difficult to move out of the city, so he ordered the Gumo River (today's Aksu River in Xinjiang) to be dug up, and the water flooded the city.

    Bahuan City is close to Gumo River, and due to the flood season, in summer, the water volume of the entire Gumo River increases greatly.  When Huang Mingcheng attacked Bahuang City before, he ordered people to build a dike and cut off the flow of the Gumo River upstream.

    The entire Gumo River had been accumulated for a long time, so the Sui army dug up the dam and the rushing river rushed down, heading straight for the city.

    The turbulent water flow is like thousands of horses galloping, and like wind and clouds, it is pouring down, and there is no one who can stop it. The power of nature is shocking.

    Bahuan City is an earthen city. Under the impact of the river, water poured into the city. Although the city wall was not collapsed, the entire city was plunged into mud.

    After the first wave of Sui floods, the Sui army's second wave of floods came again.

    It turns out that the Sui army built three dams in the upper reaches of the Gumo River. Every time a dam was filled with water, a dam was built. The three dams were formed into a ladder shape, and the water potential stored was equivalent to three reservoirs.

    The Sui army also built a corridor along the way to ensure that the water flow directly to the city.

    The first wave of water has cleared away the obstacles along the way, so when the second wave of water comes, it rushes directly towards the city wall, and the power of water and stone competes with each other.  After the second wave of water, the third wave of water came again, finally breaking down the walls of Bahuan City.

    But the Sui army did not take the initiative to launch an attack.

    Three waves of floods have broken through the psychological defense of the city's defenders.

    When the flood receded, several feet of water accumulated in the city, and the entire city was submerged in water.  Because the city was built with rammed earth, the city walls soon became soft and sticky in the water.

    Because of the flood, there were also heavy casualties in the city, and there was a lot of mourning.

    More importantly, this power of heaven and earth made the defenders feel a deep despair.

    The external pressure was huge, and the defenders in the city became disengaged and gradually began to cause chaos.

    After the city was flooded, the generals in the city, including Bai Liji, understood that the city might not be able to be defended and it was only a matter of time before it was breached.  It's just that everyone has been operating here for many years, but they are reluctant to break out, so they handed over the nest to the Sui army.  So Bai Liji was worried and full of entanglements. He wanted to break out of the encirclement, but in the end he failed to do so.

    Bai Liji and his generals were reluctant to change cities, but they were willing to do so.

    Seeing that the Sui army used water attacks to besiege the city, he knew that the Sui army did not care about the life and death of the people in the city, but only wanted to destroy the city.?If you choose to hold on now, after the city is broken, it will definitely be a dead end, and the Sui army will not take it into consideration at all.

    ??And Nali did not place any hope on the support of the Western Turks or a breakout.

    Nali had long understood that the Turks could not come.  When it comes to asking for help, he sent the news to the Western Turks earlier. If Shekui Khan had the intention to send troops, he would have arrived long ago, why did he wait until today.  There is only one reason for the lack of reinforcements from the Western Turks, which means that the Western Turks will not send reinforcements.

    As for breaking out of the siege, it is unrealistic. The entire city is soaked in mud, and neither men nor horses can move. How to break out of the siege.  Even if they break out, where can they go?  He knew very well about himself that when he was in Kucha, he was the prime minister of the country and was more powerful than the king. After leaving Kucha, he might be worse than a dog.

    So Nali was determined to surrender to the Sui army for the sake of a way out.

    As long as the Sui army wanted to control Kucha, who was more familiar with Kucha's situation than him, the former prime minister.  As long as Sui Jun is willing to accept it, he will do better than anyone else. After all, these days, it is not easy to be a dog for anyone.

    So he contacted the generals in the city who were dissatisfied with Bai Liji and prepared a coup.

    Although most of the generals in the city were Bailiji's confidants, at the critical moment of life and death, no one could care about the unloyal barbarians, so many people participated in Nali's coup plan.

    Nali prepared to kill Bailiji, then opened the city gate and surrendered to the Sui army.

    But before Nali could take action, someone from the palace called him to discuss matters.  There was already a capital in the city. After Bailiji became king, he temporarily used the old palace of Gumo Kingdom as his Qiuci palace.

    Although Nali didn¡¯t know the reason, he still went to the palace.

    Who would have expected that after entering the palace, Nali would be killed by Bai Liji.  After all, Bai Liji has been running the city for many years, and his hands and eyes are astute.  Nali's plan was not secret, so the information about his secret collaboration with the generals was known to Bai Liji.

    Bai Liji certainly wouldn't think that the other party was doing anything good.

    In line with the principle of not letting go of wrongdoing, Bai Liji directly called Na Li into the palace to kill him, and then ordered people to eliminate Na Li's accomplices.

    Because of this incident, the whole city was in turmoil.  Everyone in the city was frightened, fearing that they would not be able to protect themselves, and the generals who had participated in the Nali coup and had not yet been killed immediately started an uprising in the city.

    In the midst of this panic, no one noticed that a city gate quietly opened in Bazhuan City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
