Chapter 513: God Zhang Liao, victory report [Subscribe]

Raw Stone City.

On the official road heading west, Cesars galloped at full speed on his horse.

Behind him were only a thousand-strong personal guard.

The surrounding areas were filled with Wei troops chasing the fugitives.

The Kushans had not yet recovered from the trauma of the last battle and their morale was completely gone. The fall of the city would mean the loss of the defense.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cesars immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from the West City.

Qu Yi led Cao's army with Qin crossbows and entered the city to engage in street fighting.

Taishi Ci, however, led the light cavalry and immediately went around the city and headed west.

When Cethers withdrew from the west gate, Taishi Ci came around from the flank and penetrated the enemy formation horizontally, blocking most of the Kushan army.

Only the front half of the team, including Cethers, fled on horseback at full speed.

laugh!
With a miserable neigh, Cether's warhorse suddenly leaped forward for a distance, then choked and fell to the ground, with blood foam oozing from its mouth and nose.

An arrow shot from the side and rear and pierced the horse's belly.

Seth leapt up and tried to switch to the spare horse and continue his escape.

But just as he was about to jump into the air, arrows came at him from behind.

Cethers was injured, and he drew his sword to chop off the first arrow with all his strength.

And the second arrow shot again as his body fell.

The soldiers beside him suddenly pushed Cethers to the side.

A hundred steps behind, Taishi Ci was riding on a horse, drawing his bow like flowing clouds and water, shooting arrows continuously.

The third, fourth, and even more arrows appeared in front of Cethers.

With a painful groan, Cece was hit by an arrow in the waist.

He fell to the ground and the next arrow hit him in the thigh.

The arrow was so powerful that it pierced his leg directly.

Seth collapsed to the ground, with no chance of escape.

"general!"

The soldiers wanted to come up to rescue.

But the Wei army led by Taishi Ci had already arrived close and engaged in battle with Ceres' personal army.

Sessus glanced around.

All he could see was the Wei army surging over, with no way to advance or retreat.

His personal troops were entangled by the Wei army and fought against each other.

Cece seemed to have lost all his strength and his face was ashen.

Suddenly, a spear appeared in front of him, pointing straight at his throat.

Taishi Ci sat high on his horse, holding a spear in one hand and looking contemptuous.

"I……"

Ceces was born into a noble family, became famous at a young age, and fought bravely on the battlefields, defeating countless enemies and killing countless generals over the years. He never expected that one day, he would become the defeated general and be captured alive.

"I... am willing to surrender!"

Seth said in a hoarse voice: "If I surrender, all the soldiers in the Stone City will surrender."

Taishi Ci did not understand the Kushan language, but the only word he understood was "surrender".

When Cao's army broke into a city, they would first shout "surrender and you will not be killed", and then "surrender and you will be killed too". This was a trick to trick people into surrendering and save combat power.

Therefore, every time they defeated the enemy, Cao's army would first learn the enemy's language of surrender, and then repeat the shouting after victory.

Taishi Ci communicated with some old soldiers in the army. He is now proficient in seven or eight languages, including those of Japan, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Xianbei, Western Regions, Qiang and Di, as well as Kushan. He is truly a talented man.

"Once you are on the battlefield, you should be prepared to die. Our army has never accepted surrender, especially from foreigners."

Taishi Ci's face was grim and he pushed his spear forward.

The spear tip was stained with blood and pierced the throat.

Seth's expression froze in horror.

The Wei army refused to accept the surrender of a commander of his rank and directly killed him on the battlefield!

This is definitely not the most advantageous choice for the Wei army!

However, Taishi Ci exerted a little strength and lifted up Ceces through the throat with one arm.

His pupils were dilated and he was dead.

Taishi Ci pushed his body out with his spear and nailed it to a big tree beside the road.

The war spear was a discarded spear from the battlefield that Taishi Ci picked up temporarily, and it was just right for nailing his opponent to death.

Two of the four great Kushan generals have been killed.

Only Ponce and Pujes were left.

Raw Stone City.

Huang Zhong rode into the city with a long sword in hand.

They captured the Stone City and defeated the main force of the eastern Kushan Empire more easily than expected.

It can be seen that as the national strength of Wei has increased in recent years, the overall combat capability of the Wei army has increased.

Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and Qu Yi launched a large-scale clearing and pursuit operation.

Thousands of miles northwest of them, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were attacking Lan City.

Lanshi City is the old capital of Kushan and also the most important city in the north.

The city walls are high and thick.

At noon, the sun shines brightly.

People were coming and going at the several gates of Lan City.

Suddenly, a group of Kushan scouts appeared in the distance, riding their horses towards the city gate.

A team of four scouts shouted across the air:
"Close the city gates, close the city gates."

"The Wei army is attacking!"

"There are Wei troops..."

The four scouts approached the city gate but did not enter. They split into two teams and went around the city in two directions to continue notifying other city gates to close.

The defenders at the north gate were stunned for a moment.

Are the Wei troops attacking the Lan City in the heart of Kushan?

Then they heard the trampling of horses' hooves.

An army clad entirely in black armor appeared from a distance.

It was Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, the Xianzhen Camp and two thousand veteran soldiers from Bingzhou who came.

This formation has been fighting for many years, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and has extremely rich combat experience.

They are a mixed force of heavy cavalry and infantry, the second ace heavy cavalry of Wei, second only to Cao Wei's heavy cavalry.

When a team of 3,000 people, with 1,000 soldiers in the Formation of Trap as the vanguard, followed Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to gather their forces.

The military power and momentum they displayed were extremely terrifying.

Apart from the sound of horses' hooves, no one among the 3,000 soldiers uttered a cry of killing, but a boundless murderous aura was revealed in the solemnity.

hum-

Gao Shun took the lead in mobilizing his military abilities and matched the forces of the Xianzhen Camp.

In the nearby void, invisible military forces spread out like waves.

hum-

Zhang Liao also triggered his mythical general ability - fighting with all his might!
[Zhang Liao, your general, enters the state of Godly Zhang Liao]

[His mythical ability - Bloody Battle with Hidden Edge, combined with the troops' strength, is upgraded to a mythical tribe, generating a group combat skill - Bloody Edge! Effect: Fight for a long time without getting tired, breaking through the original physical strength limit, stacking nearly double.

Additional effect: Combat power enhancement]

When Zhang Liao's legendary military power is combined with Gao Shun's military ability.

A faint blood light appeared around the three thousand soldiers.

Following Cao Wei's heavy cavalry, the Xianzhen Camp has become one of the three teams of the Wei Dynasty that can evolve mythical military fortune.

The gate of Lan City had just closed when Zhang Liao led his troops and rushed to the gate.

The mythical military luck of the entire army was like a huge wave hitting the gate. There was a loud bang.

The gate seemed to be hit by the combined force of three thousand people. It caved in instantly and broke into pieces.

Boom!

The second blow fell, and the city gate was completely shattered under the strong impact.

The force was so violent that the noise it made could be heard throughout the city.

Cao's army rushed into the city like a whirlwind.

……

The palace of the Great Yuezhi.

Bo Diao's gloomy mood for many days finally eased a little.

Earlier, he received a message from the Zoroastrian deputy patriarch that Kebiren had been taken under control.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Controlling Ke Bineng means holding a trump card that can cause turmoil within Wei. Then I can send my troops to counterattack with all my strength... Bo Diao thought secretly.

Another good news was that he knew through Zoroastrianism that friction between Parthia and Rome had arisen again.

Bo Diao himself also used certain channels to investigate.

In other words, Parthia had to focus all its attention on dealing with Rome and could not look away.

Then the Kushan troops on the west side who were guarding against Parthia would have the opportunity to be further deployed.

Bo Diao secretly sent a message several days ago, dispatching the First Legion, led by Ponsei, the leader of the four great Kushan generals, to return from the west.

Once Ponsé returns, he will be able to provide strong support to the Eastern Front.

The entire battle situation is expected to be reversed, and at least the balance of power with the Wei army can be restored.

While Bo Diao was thinking, he heard the messenger come to report:
"Your Majesty, General Ponce has returned and is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

Bo Diaoxi said happily: "How can it be so fast? Please invite the general in quickly."

Soon, there was a sound of resounding footsteps outside the hall.

The man who came in was a general in his fifties, with a short beard. He had the aura of a lion or tiger, but his eyes were as calm as a poisonous snake.

He was wearing a gorgeous armor of dark silver inlaid with red and white gems.

Occasionally, ancient spell patterns intersect on its armor, emitting a faint halo.

This armor is a treasure of the Kushans, and is as famous as the blue stone armor and silver armor, and is called the scarlet armor.

The general who came in was tall and imposing.

When the imperial guards stationed in the palace saw this general, they all showed fanatical admiration.

He is the chief general of the Kushan Empire, Gapur Ponsai, who spent his entire life fighting against the powerful Parthian army and was undefeated.

"His Majesty."

Pang Sai bowed to Bo Diao and said: "I heard that your Majesty urgently summoned me, and I came back day and night."

Bo Diao personally came down from the throne and lifted up Ponsei who was performing the ceremony.

"General, please."

Bo Diao said: "My Kushan is in danger, so I have to ask the general to come back and take charge of the situation."

"The Wei people in the east are aggressive by nature and are coming to attack our Kushan Empire.

The defense line jointly set up by the king, Sessus, and Pujes was breached by the Wei army in just a few days."

Bodiao immediately gave a brief summary of the situation facing the Kushans.

After hearing this, Pang Sai's face was full of solemnity:
"Your Majesty said that the eastern army was led by Tobis, but he was killed in the first battle and his troops were defeated! Sessus was unable to rescue them and retreated to Stone City?"

"Yes, the northern defense line was also breached by the Wei army." said Bo Diao.

Ponsei felt heavy-hearted.

When Bo Diao asked him to come back, he knew that the situation was not good.

Otherwise, Bodiao would not easily mobilize the First Legion bordering the Parthian border.

But Ponsey didn't expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent.

He walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Bo Diao returned to the throne.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Ponsai was about to speak when he suddenly looked at the door. The informant came in hurriedly and timidly:

"Your Majesty, General, new battle reports have been delivered."

"Read." Bo Diao ordered.

"Original Stone City was breached by the Wei army, and General Sessus was beheaded on the battlefield."

Ponsai suddenly stopped walking, and the only sound in the hall was his heavy breathing.

The interrogator continued, "On the northern front... Lan's City was also attacked by a Wei army, and the fighting is still going on in the city. The lord of Lan's City, Lai Hes, sent an urgent message asking for help, hoping that Your Majesty would send more reinforcements."

puff!
Bo Diao's blood and energy surged, and he actually choked on a mouthful of blood.

Ponsai's figure also shook.

He reached out to hold onto the supporting column beside him and sat down on the ground.

Ponce calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, it is too late to rescue Lan's City. I just hope they can repel the enemy attacking the city.

Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to shrink the defense line.

Send a message to Pujes in the south, asking him to abandon the newly occupied Tianzhu area and return to the existing southern defense line.

I will also set off immediately and head east to deploy defenses along the Fula River to resist the westward advance of the Wei army.

Your Majesty, please remember to hurry up and have people guard the Gaofu line south of Lan's City, so that our army still has a place to defend."

Bo Diao nodded blankly, his former high spirits and arrogance almost disappeared, and he stammered: "The safety of our Kushan depends entirely on you, General. You should summon your divine power to protect our Kushan."

Ponsei bowed deeply and walked away quickly.

……

Yecheng.

evening.

Cao Cao was looking at a map in his study.

Kushan was a long strip of territory that was long from north to south and relatively narrow from east to west.

The eastern side and the western region are adjacent to this side, and the border is very long.

But it lacks depth.

At the beginning, the Kushans wanted to take action, but they did not seize the advantageous terrain of the plateau first.

At that time, we had already lost.

Lost in geography and strategy.

How dare you challenge me... Cao Cao curled his lips.

He picked up the message bead, on which was the news from the Western Regions that Lu Su had received.

This grand strategic deployment in the Western Region was jointly formulated by Cao Cao and Lu Su.

Lu Su was in charge of the battle situation before the battle, while Huang Zhong was responsible for commanding the troops and promoting the specific implementation.

At this time, Lu Su came to report the progress: "Your Majesty, the strategic intention of the first phase has been achieved.

The Kushan Empire was thus cut off, with the Lan City as the boundary on the north. Our subsequent troops will go there and gradually clear out the northern part of the Kushan Empire, and eventually connect it with parts of Wusun and Kangju, making it part of the land of our Great Wei.

On the east side, with the original stone city as the front line, the troops are heading straight to the heartland of Kushan. "

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have not yet started a major war. Judging from their strategic intentions, they both have great ambitions."

Cao Cao smiled.

The reason why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were recruited in the first place was because of their bravery in the battlefield today and their unrivaled strength.

The best news is that there is no news about the two of them yet.

"The time is almost right. Have someone deliver my letter to the Kushan ruler and tell him to surrender the country.

If he refuses, Kushan will be completely wiped out by me."

Lu Su: "I will arrange it right away."
