For example, I have destroyed the country for the Huns!

Even in countries like Cheshi, Pulei, Shache, and Yuli, which are absolutely controlled by the Huns, there are countless nobles and even kings who appear to be shouting "Long live the Great Huns", but in fact they go home and secretly obsessed with Han Dynasty culture!

The previous generation of King Wei Ni was such a lackey in the Han Dynasty who was stingy and caught out!

Therefore, the Huns used fire to burn their capital!

Now, the Western Regions monarch like that of King Ni must still exist.

All of this is because of the existence of Luntai and Loulan.

The Loulan Kingdom was too close to the border walls of the Han Dynasty and was close to the area where the main force of the Han Dynasty hoarded, so even the most arrogant Hun nobles dared not provoke them.

but……

Luntai is different.

It is an enclave, with a straight line distance of at least 600 miles from Yumen Pass.

Even cavalry will take several days to arrive.

Moreover, the route is very single, unless the Han cavalry dared to cross the desert and risked dehydration to rescue, otherwise the only thing they could walk was the two sides of the Peacock River.

And these situations do not require reading the map or even listening to Li Ling's introduction. Everyone is already aware of them in their hearts.

Li Ling also knew it, so he skipped it directly and focused on the Luntai block.

"According to the information of Outuo's investigation, the Han Dynasty now has two cavalry captains and one infantry captain, with a field force of about 3,000 people... In addition, the militias in the military farm, exiled criminals, and prisoners, were about 4,000..." Li Ling said briefly: "It seems that there are not many troops, but Luntai is like all Han borders. The strongest thing is not its garrison, but its defense!"

He pointed to the location of Luntai City on the map and continued: "The main city of Luntai City is more than three meters high. It is built with rammed earth. There is a moat on the outside of the city wall. The moat draws the lake and water to irrigate it. In spring and summer, when the water rises, the river is several meters deep, and even the water depth is probably more than meter..."

"In addition, the Han army hoarded a large amount of city guarding supplies above the city wall and inside the city!"

"According to the spies and detailed investigations, the Han people arranged at least three or more bed crossbows on the four sides of the Luntai City wall, and built at least thirteen arrow towers. There were a large number of arrow stamps on the inside of the city wall!"

"On the inner side of the city wall, there should be daily reserves, enough to use more than ten times of rolling stones and wood!"

"As long as the defenders are energetic and want to attack such a strong city, it will take at least 50,000 troops. If the siege exceeds one month, the number of casualties and injuries may exceed 20,000!"

Listening to Li Ling's words, the ancients and his nobles all had a stiff face.

The Huns never understood the twists and turns of the Han Dynasty city blocks, otherwise they would not have been able to easily take down the Gaoque Pass by Wei Qing, the general of Qin Shihuang, Meng Tian, ​​and spent countless efforts to build it.

Now, listening to Li Ling's introduction, they learned for the first time the strictness and terribleness of the Han Dynasty's urban defense system.

"One month is impossible!" The sage shook his head fearfully and said, "We don't have so much time!"

One month?

Even if we start attacking now, it will be September.

By then, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty may have arrived.

What’s even more troublesome is that the weather is known to us that the Western Regions will start to cool down continuously after late August, and the first snow may start in late August or September.

And in the colder hinterland of the northern Western Regions, the situation may be worse.

In that case, it means that the Huns might have to retreat with their wounded soldiers under the pursuit of the Han Dynasty reinforcements.

By then, the weather will become the best helper of the Han Dynasty.

"We only have at most ten days!" Xianxian stood up and said to Li Ling: "In ten days, we must take down the Luntai and then withdraw our troops!"

"This...is probably the price to pay..."

"Don't care about these!" The Xianxian looked cold and sneered: "Even if he defeated the entire Kucha, Cheshi, and Shache's army, Ben Tushe would still take the Luntai within ten days!"

"King Jiankun, you only need to tell Ben Tushe if you have the confidence to win the Luntai within ten days!"

For the Huns, the servants of the Western Regions were the same as the cattle and sheep they raised.

Although they may be valued, once they face a crisis or need to make a decision, they will not hesitate to kill these fattening animals to fill their stomachs, let themselves live and survive the cold winter.
