Chapter 508: The Outrageous Generals and Strong Soldiers [Subscription Request]

After Zhang Liao challenged Cao Cao to a war last time, he left Yecheng, crossed Hexi, and passed through the Western Regions, and arrived in Wusun a month ago.

When passing through Hexi, Xu Huang also came down from the plateau and joined Zhang Liao as his deputy general.

After the Wei Dynasty conquered Wusun, the general in charge of Wusun was Wei Yan.

Zhang Liao brought Xu Huang over and joined forces with Wei Yan, with one leader and two deputies, and a complete army.

After receiving Cao Cao's order to go to war, Zhang Liao put down the signal bead and began to make arrangements.

To the west of Wusun, the neighboring country is Kangju.

It was originally in a hostile relationship with the Kushan Empire, but the westward expansion of the Wei Empire posed a threat to both sides.

So the two sides contacted each other secretly and planned together to conquer the Wei Dynasty.

Zhang Liao took action on the night Cao Cao issued the order.

……

grassland.

The bright moon is rising.

Bu Liugu came to see Ke Bineng again.

The two met in secret.

Half an hour later, Bu Liugu left.

She left Kebinen's tent and led her men westward.

It was not until the next afternoon that Bu Liugu arrived at a small tribe on the grassland and walked into a tent.

Afuyu is waiting for her here.

"Master, I have tested Ke Bineng, and he does have problems."

Afu Yu's face remained calm, as he had expected this:
"Did he notice your temptation?"

Bu Liugu: "No, I will tell you the news of the test among other real news. Those are some of the things we experienced when we first met.

Some of it was true and some was false, but he didn't find anything unusual after listening to it.

It turns out that Master was right, he is not Kebineng at all."

"The Wei people are using this unscrupulous strategy to control the hundreds of tribes on our grassland."

“I have been wondering what means the Wei people used to control the grassland so quickly without any unrest.

It turns out that they used Ke Bineng's identity to deceive everyone. It's really hateful."

Afu Yudao:

"They used Kebi Neng to contact you, just to spread false information and lure Kushan into their trap."

Bu Liugu sneered, "My disciple has passed on a piece of false information to the person pretending to be Ke Bineng.

If the Wei army made arrangements based on the false information, they would suffer a great defeat. "

"Master, can we reveal Ke Bineng's identity? So that we can contact more tribes to fight against Wei?"

"There are too many things to keep secret."

A Fuyu shook his head and said, "Don't do this for now. It will only bring some turmoil to Wei and won't bring us much practical benefit.

We can’t expose him so easily.”

"Wei people pretend to be Kebi Neng, we can use them to our advantage."

"Have you ever obtained any useful information through Ke Bineng?"

Bu Liugu replied, “He said that the Wei people are planning to raise an army in the Wusun area.

But since he was a fake, what he passed on to me was obviously fake news.”

"The real plot of the Wei army should be in other directions, not Wusun."

"The Wei people are currently allying with India.

My disciple believes that the Wei people will attack from Tianzhu to attack Kushan. "

Afuyu nodded.

He had the same consideration.

Before this, the Wei army had attacked from the plateau east of Kushan several times.

Bo Diao has taken heavy precautions on the eastern front.

If the Wei army still attacks from the east, they will face great resistance.

Therefore, ruling out Kebi Neng’s false news, it will not be the northern line, nor the eastern side. The biggest possibility is India south of Kushan.

Under the sunset.

An eagle spread its wings and flew away. It was the messenger eagle used by Afu Yu to deliver messages.

……

Three days later, Kushan.

Bo Diao unfolded the message sent back by Afu Yu and fell into deep thought.

Sitting next to him was the military minister, Cethers, who had just returned from southern Kushan.

He was in his fifties, had a short brown-black beard, and was wearing dark silver armor.

He is the martial arts teacher of Hatiao.

It was also his contribution that enabled Potiao to seize power in Kushan.

The two have relied on each other for many years.

After reading the message sent back by Afu Yu, Bo Diao handed the secret message to Cece.

After reading it, Seth said:
"We have also received news in Tianzhu that the Wei army has sent troops from the northern plateau to the south to reinforce Tianzhu. We have encountered the Wei army joining the battle several times recently when we were fighting with Tianzhu."

Bo Diao: "According to the information from several sources, it shows that the Wei army has sent a large number of troops to Tianzhu.

It seems that they are going to raise troops from the south and start a war with our Kushan Empire, and they are right."

Sess said:

“Before I returned from the south, I gathered with Afuyu of the Xianbei and Pujes for consultation.

I asked Afu Yu in detail about the reasons for the Xianbei's defeat."

“From what he said, the supreme commander of the Wei people is their emperor.

Afu Yu said that the King of Wei was very flexible in his use of troops and it was difficult to judge their strengths and weaknesses. "

"When the Wei people fought against us in the past, they also used both real and fake tactics to raid our Kushan capital.

It can be seen that the Wei people are good at hiding their intentions and winning by using surprise tactics in secret. "

Bo Diao frowned: "Are you saying that the Wei army is going to attack from Tianzhu in the south? Their intention is too obvious, which is not their real purpose?"

Sessus: “Your Majesty is wise.

I judge that the Wei army is stationing troops in Tianzhu on the south side to attract our attention. In fact, they still want to attack from the highlands on the east side.

We have heavy defenses even in the direction corresponding to the plateau.

But the Wei people boast of their strength, and the most likely outcome is that they will attack our defenses head-on."

Bo Diao rubbed the silver pen on the long desk with his fingertips.

Cecil's analysis made sense. If his judgment was correct, the defense on the east side of Kushan should be strengthened.

To guard against Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci rushed down from the plateau.

Bodiao glanced at the other person who was behind Cece.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He is Seco Tobis, the newly promoted one who filled the vacant position among the four famous generals.

He has a rectangular face, premature baldness, a shiny forehead and gloomy eyes.

Tobis was originally the chief of the six Kushan legion commanders and had experienced many battles.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to the eastern front to meet the Wei army!" Tobis asked for a fight.

Bo Diao shook his head: "Not appropriate, the Wei army is very powerful. It would be safer to send Ceceth."

Tobis took a step forward and said urgently:
"I have led troops for many years, fought more than thirty major battles and even more minor ones, and never lost a single one. I am sure that I can defeat the Wei army, otherwise I am willing to accept any punishment."

Seth sat aside and smiled.

He knew that Bo Diao was deliberately provoking him.

Even though the Wei army was strong, the Kushans from top to bottom were not afraid of fighting.

Both Bodiao and Cethers wanted to fight against the Wei army.

Tobis volunteered to fight, and Bodiao retreated to advance. After Tobis asked for battle several times, he reluctantly agreed.

This stimulates Tobis to burst out with all his bravery.

When Tobis received the order to leave, Bodiao said to Cece:

"The Wei army has fought against us several times in the past and has had some advantages. However, they did not know that this time we have gathered all our strengths, and I am confident that I can defeat them."

Sess said solemnly, "I am willing to obey your Majesty's orders."

Bo Diao: "The king orders you to gather another group of soldiers and follow behind Tobis.

Tobis has just been promoted to the position of one of the four great generals, and has been suppressed by this king. Once he steps onto the battlefield, he will be eager to make achievements.

If the Wei generals see his eagerness and seize the opportunity to break through their defenses and advance deep into our Kushan Empire, then you, Sess, can become an ambush and inflict heavy damage on the Wei army."

Sess praised: "Your Majesty is knowledgeable about military affairs and good at fighting. You can be compared with His Majesty Gadfeses."

Gadphises was the founding emperor of the Kushan Empire and laid the foundation of the Kushan Empire.

Bo Diao also stood up and said:
"In this battle, I want you not only to defeat the Wei army, but also to lead the army eastward and occupy the plateau after defeating the Wei army."

"I will make the people of Wei return in defeat."

Cecil received the order in a loud voice and strode away.

July.

Both sides mobilized their troops.

The Wei army provided food and fodder from Hexi and the Western Regions, and set out in many large armies to reinforce the front line.

On several main battle fronts, Wei's troops gathered from all directions, with flags fluttering like waves.

There were also targeted transfers within the Kushan Empire.

The movements of the Wei army are the same as those analyzed by the Kushans.

In mid-July, the Wei army first marched northward from Tianzhu in the south.

The generals commanding the troops were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Their troops, gathered from the plateau to the south over the past few months, number ten thousand.

The troops, horses, and food were provided by India.

In addition, Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci also led their troops to fight their way down from the plateau.

They had a large number of soldiers along the way, among whom was an ace team of 30,000 troops, led by Qu Yi.

He led 30,000 crossbowmen.

It has always been Qu Yi's dream to have a full complement of 30,000 crossbowmen.

This dream lasted for more than ten years. Finally, after the national strength of the Wei Dynasty increased year by year, batch after batch of screening was completed, and the number of crossbowmen, horses, and crossbows reached 30,000.

The Xianzhen Camp, which was originally stationed in the Western Regions, was transferred by Huang Zhong and led by Gao Shun, returning to Zhang Liao's command and located north of the Kushan Empire.

Bodiao and Sessers' analysis is correct.

The Wei army did attack from the south and east.

But what they didn't expect was that the current Cao Wei had so many soldiers and generals that it was outrageous.

In the three directions of the Kushan Empire, there are brave generals and powerful soldiers gathered.

The Kushans would soon find themselves surrounded.

When Cao Wei deployed his troops this time, he made no distinction between the real and the weak.

The three directions are the main forces, forming a crushing momentum and defeating the enemy with hard power.

If you are poor, you can make a breakthrough with just a little effort; if you are rich, you can cover the country with full firepower.

The soldiers and generals under Cao Cao's command are enough to carry out the attack directly.

The first battle took place in mid-July.

Taishi Ci led his troops down from the plateau and attacked Kushan from east to west.

The Kushans reacted incredibly quickly. In the garrison camp, war trumpets sounded and they quickly formed up and prepared for battle.

In the morning, the sun shines brightly.

On the eastern side of its border, the Kushans stationed two large legions, with the number of troops being just as large as that of the Wei army.

Their battle formation absorbed the characteristics of the Western phalanx, with the infantry in the center and spears pointing diagonally forward.

The Kushans also used all their strength this time. In positional warfare, infantry is the king.

The Kushans had 20,000 elite infantrymen arranged in square formations, supported by cavalry, and their front was heavily guarded.

opposite.

After observing the enemy's situation, Qu Yi was overjoyed.

With a phalanx of 20,000 infantrymen, given the power of the Wei army's bows and crossbows at the moment, wouldn't they be treated as living targets to be shot at?

Seeing the Kushan soldiers gathering, more and more, there were large square shields in the front row, and bright armor and tens of thousands of spears in the back row.

The blood in Qu Yi's body was boiling.

Boom boom boom!
War drums beat.

Taishi Ci gave an order.

The Wei army's front line troops split to the side, immediately giving way to the crossbow troops in the rear line.

Qu Yi was extremely excited: "All soldiers, fire your crossbows together! Show the power of our great Wei!"

"Fire arrows!"

"put!"
