Shule City: a Bloody Battle in the Western Regions That Year
by Dong Libo
About This Novel
This book won the 13th October Literature Award·Novel Award. It is a historical novel based on the historical facts of the Han Dynasty. It is an excellent text published on the theme of "One Belt and One Road". This book truly reproduces the arduous battle that Eastern Han general Geng Gong fought against the Huns in the Shule City Defense Battle in Shichengzi, Qitai County, which is the Shule City recorded in the "Book of the Later Han". From spring to winter, 300 people fought bloody battles with tens of thousands of cavalry, preferring to die of hunger and thirst rather than retreat, escape, or surrender. In the end, only 26 people were left, guarding the military flag at the top of the city until reinforcements arrived. It not only proves that the Western Regions became part of the Chinese territory as early as the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, but also demonstrates the unyielding dedication and sacrifice of the Chinese people in order to safeguard the dignity of the motherland.
