Seeing that the King of Kucha was unable to leave, Guo Jia and others ordered the soldiers to transport the catapult to Tushan.

Seeing the soldiers gathered in the city, the catapult carts were pulled together on the mountain, and the cannon stones flew into the sky and hit them down.

There is no place for people to hide, and countless soldiers in the city died.

Guo Jiasi had a plan and saw that the land layer of Dongguo was very thick, so he sent soldiers to use shovels to hit the tunnel and penetrated straight into the city.In more than ten days, the tunnel was dug up, and Guo Jia ordered Cao Zhang's troops to penetrate the city from the underground.

The King of Kucha was not well-behaved and was killed by Cao Zhang's troops at night, so he couldn't help but panic.

Cao Zhang's troops opened the city gate and Guan Yu's army entered the city.

The Kucha soldiers were all unprepared and were massacred by Guan Yu's army.

Seeing that things were not good, the King of Kucha led the defeated soldiers out of the city and fled to the royal city.

Yulu gathered defeated troops, with only half remaining.

The envoy of the King of Kucha rushed to the King of Wusun and asked the King of Wusun to send troops: The Western Regions work together and cannot defeat the Chinese army. If Kucha is defeated and destroyed, the King of Wusun will follow in the footsteps of Kucha.Now that the king raises an army to attack Siki, Kucha will be dismantled.If the king sits and watches, Kucha will destroy the country.If Kucha is destroyed, he will fight against the Chinese tiger and wolf army with the power of the king and his country, and he may lose more than he wins.Please make decisions quickly to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight.

King Wusun was a shrewd man, although he was dissatisfied with the King of Kucha, he was determined to send troops at the critical moment of survival of the Western Regions.

Before the army arrived in Xiji, news came that Dongguo was captured.

The Wusun King was afraid that Guan Yu's main force would take the opportunity to raid the Wusun royal city, so he ordered the army to withdraw and work in vain.

Seeing the war in the Western Regions, Guan Yu's troops were weak, so he sent three generals Ma Chao, Jiang Wei and Pang De to lead their troops to support him.

At this time, the number of soldiers in the three countries in the Western Regions was 750,000 Chinese soldiers, 600,000 Wusun soldiers, and 400,000 Kucha soldiers.

As reinforcements arrived, Guo Jia's strategic and tactical arrangements were more flexible.

Guo Jia made a plan to use Jiang Wei to lead 50,000 troops to defend Siji, while Ma Chao and Pang De each led 50,000 light cavalry to harass the territory of Wusun Kingdom, and involved the army of Wusun King and could not go out for assistance.

The other army gathered in Dongguo and made an appointment to attack the Kucha royal city together.

The Kucha King's troops were 300,000 in the royal city, and the remaining 100,000 were stationed in the remaining two cities.

The Kucha royal city is divided into two cities. The original royal city is in the northwest, with small walls and short walls. The Kucha people call it the mother city.

The new royal city was built in the southeast of the mother city, which was called the Zicheng by the locals.

There are still more than a small city between the Zicheng and the Mother City, and most of the grain and grass barracks are in the Mother City.

The King of Kucha, with Tengxian as the main general, commanded 100,000 troops to garrison the mother city, and led 200,000 troops to garrison the Zicheng. The two cities' guards echoed each other.

The Western Army arrived at the Kucha royal city and asked people to inquire about the news in the city. Guan Yu, Guo Jia and others led their generals to climb a high place to see the landform of the royal city.

Find out everything clearly and discuss matters with promotion.

Guo Jia said: The two cities in the royal city are the momentum of armor, which echo each other from afar.If you attack Mucheng, the defenders of Zicheng will disturb the rear; if you attack Zicheng, the defenders of Mucheng will disturb the rear.The royal city has mostly been stored in the mother city.If you conquer the mother city, the Kucha army will be in chaos without fighting.However, Tengxian, the defender of Mother City, is a resourceful person, and is afraid that the soldiers will suffer losses when siege the city.

Guan Yu said: If my army feints attack Zicheng, lures the troops from Mother City to harass our army's rear, designs to cut off its way back and gather and annihilate it under the city, then Mother City's defense will be empty and our army can take advantage of the momentum.

Everyone praised the good, and after the generals discussed the details, Guan Yu and Guo Jia sent all the generals to take their own plans and leave.

Over the past day, Guan Yu led his troops to attack Zicheng. Tengxian saw that Guan Yu's camp was empty in defense, and led his army to attack, and adopted a plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the military camp, he saw that there were no soldiers and soldiers in the camp. He knew that he had been trapped and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat.

At this time, a thunder buried in the camp sounded, and the Kucha soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Wei Yan and Zhou Cang each led the ambush out. The Kucha soldiers were defeated, and Tengxian led the defeated soldiers to retreat to the mother city.

Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan, two 200,000 heavy cavalrymen, cut off their way back at this time and surrounded Tengxian's defeated army.

Tengxian led his army to rush left and right and could not find out.

Xiahou Chun's generals Cao Hong and Zhuge Dan led their soldiers to attack Teng Xian's personal soldiers. Teng Xian saw the crisis and said to the soldiers: Our army has been defeated. Please take the opportunity to escape. Do not return to the royal city and retain the seedlings of our race.

After saying that, he drew his sword and committed suicide.As soon as Tengxian died, his army fled in scattered areas. Those who escaped did not dare to return to the city and fled around the city to the west.

At this time, the armies of Lu Bu and Cao Zhang were working together to attack Mucheng. At this time, there were only 20,000 defenders in Mucheng, and Tengxian had also left the city.

The troops were weak and the army had no chief general, so they were captured soon.

More than 20,000 guards escaped, and only more than 5,000 soldiers were killed in battle.

The mother city has been removed, and the son city is even more dangerous.

There were only more than 200,000 soldiers in Hecheng. After Teng died first, there were no outstanding people in the civil and military strategy. The King of Kucha gathered the crowd to discuss it several times, but there was no clever plan.

I had no choice but to stick to it, but most of the food and grass in Kucha were collected in the mother city, and at this time, the food and grass in Zicheng could only be spent on more than ten days.

The King of Kucha ordered the guards of Yehu and Hungary to lead their troops to escort food and grass to support the royal city.

Ji Ling, the general of Lu Bu, obtained the person who sent a letter to Yehu by King Kucha, and found Guan Yu and Guo Jia.

Guan Yu asked about the facts and facts of the army.

The answer was: The grain and grass in the city were only spent more than ten days, and we were ordered to go to Yehu and Xiongting to urge grain.

Guo Jia said: If you send a army to lead the light cavalry, attack the Hungarian army protecting the grain from halfway, cut off the food and grass, and take the opportunity to attack the Hungarian army.He then made someone falsely call him an envoy, and asked the Yehu defenders to go out to protect the grain to the royal city.Our army set up another ambush and took the opportunity to go to Yehu again.There is only one lonely city left in the Kucha royal city, with no food and grass inside, and the defenders are in chaos.

Guan Yu said: Who can go?

Guo Jia said: The Hungary City has only 50,000 troops, so it is enough to send Lu Bu's troops.The troops of Yehu were similar to those of the Hungarian Court. There were always those in Ma Teng's army who spoke Western languages, and they could defeat the soldiers of Yehu.

Guan Yu ordered Lu Bu and Ma Teng to seize the food and grass of the two cities according to Guo Jiami's plan and take the opportunity to capture the two cities.

He also ordered the generals Wei Yan and Zhou Cang to lead their troops to support them.

At night, Han Meng, the commander of the Hungarian Court, heard that the royal city was in danger, led 30,000 elite troops and escorted thousands of grain trucks to the royal city of Kucha.

While walking, Lu Bu and Liao Hua in the valley blocked the road ahead, while Gao Shun and Ji Ling led their troops to intercept the way.

Han Meng came to fight with a horse, and Lu Bu caught the fight.

Liao Hua and three other generals raised their troops and robbed the grain truck.

Han Meng couldn't help it, so he turned his horse back and walked away. Lu Bu quickly, and the Pegasus chased and stabbed Han Meng to death.

Lu Bu and others gathered and annihilated the other defeated soldiers, then gathered their troops and raided the Hungarian Court that night. The Hungarian Court was unprepared, and there were few soldiers in the city, and they were all old and weak soldiers, and were defeated by Lu Bu in one fell swoop.

Ma Teng sent the Western Regions guide to disguise himself as the envoy of the King of Kucha, lured the Yehu guard general Fenghujie, and led 40,000 troops to protect Yehu's grain and grass to the King of Kucha overnight.

Feng Hujie and others had just left Yehu for more than fifty miles. Ma Teng's army was out and killed all the soldiers under Feng Hujie. Feng Hujie's personal soldiers fought to the death and escaped. He did not dare to go to Yehu City and fled to the Kucha Royal City.

Ma Teng's troops robbed the food and grass and led their troops to attack Yehu City.

The defenders in Yehu City were weak and were captured by Ma Teng's troops.
