Chapter 514: Decisive Victory! [Subscribe]

The yellow sand stretches for miles and the setting sun is as fiery as fire.

Lu Su took the signal bead and walked out of the military tent.

He was on the plateau, dozens of miles away was the battlefield where Wei and Kushan were fighting.

Lu Su looked into the distance and saw thousands of miles of territory to the west, and behind him were the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Great Wei.

A thought suddenly occurred to him. He and Zhou Yu were united in their fight against Wei, but due to geographical constraints, the dispute was limited to a certain time and place and the scale was too small.

Now that the Wei Dynasty is unified, with mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles, we have great ambitions.

Your Majesty is right. When the Han people are strong and powerful, we should have the ambition to conquer all the world and wipe out the barbarians!

Lu Su expressed his feelings, and then, following Cao Cao's order, sent someone to convey a message to the Kushans.

Cao Cao was about to put away the message bead when he found another line of words on it:
“I’m in Qinling…”

It was the Daoist Master, whose communication had been interrupted since the last transmission, who sent another message.

He is indeed in Qinling Mountains!

Cao Cao responded: "Ling Jin and Li Wufang are with you?"

"exist."

"Do you need me to send someone to pick you up?"

Just like last time, the message was interrupted and there was no response.

Cao Cao thought that since they had been able to stay in the Qinling Tomb for several months without dying, they probably found the necessary conditions for survival in the tomb and would not be in danger for the time being...

Cao Cao stood up and walked around, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Dian Wei's big face appeared at the door: "Your Majesty, Generals Zixiao and Wenqian are here."

At the end of the corridor outside the study, Cao Ren and Le Jin walked in led by the eunuchs.

Cao Cao smiled and came out of the study to greet the two of them.

Many years have passed, and Cao Ren has grown from a young man to a commander who guards a region.

He was stationed in the southern part of Wei all year round.

Compared with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong expanded the territory.

Cao Ren was better at maintaining the status quo, being steady and prudent, and strictly enforcing laws and regulations.

This time Cao Cao transferred him back to report on his work and gave him another appointment.

The same goes for Le Jin.

"His Majesty."

Cao Ren entered the study with an excited look on his face, and went to meet the emperor with Le Jin.

At the beginning of last year, Cao Cao appointed Cao Ren as Marquis of Chen.

Le Jin was also appointed as a general.

After Gan Ning found Champa rice, he returned to the sea and headed south to the Philippines.

The expansion and conquest of the area where Champa rice was grown was led by Le Jin.

This time, Cao Cao recalled Le Jin and replaced Li Dian and Yu Jin to lead the troops.

Although Cao Wei had a large number of soldiers and generals at the moment, its territory was also becoming increasingly vast.

No general was idle; they were all on duty and commanding troops in different directions.

"Zixiao, Wenqian, you two have been away from home for many years and have worked very hard. The stability of the southern regions is due to your contributions."

"You two should take a rest for a while. I have other things to do with you."

Cao Cao had a very macro-scale military plan, which was not only aimed at the Kushans, but also at the entire West.

Zhao Yun needs to be transferred back.

Cao Ren was the main person to take over Zhao Yun's duty in guarding the northern border, with Le Jin as his assistant.

At this time, the two of them were chatting and reminiscing about the past with Cao Cao in the study.

Cao Cao held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the success of the two men.

The night was hazy.

After the banquet, Cao Cao returned to the inner house and came to Zou Yuan's bedroom.

Thousands of miles away, Zhang Fei was hiding on a high ground in the mountains, looking at a city in the distance.

It was originally an Indian city, but was occupied by the Kushans and became an important city in the south.

Cao Cao's initial order to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was to let them play a diversionary role in the southern part of Kushan.

In this military operation, the southern front is not the main battlefield.

You should know that the Wei army transferred to Guan and Zhang had only 10,000 people, and since they were fighting away from home, their auxiliary troops were Indians.

There are many unpredictable factors.

As for the Kushan Empire, which was on the opposite side, because it had previously focused on attacking India, several corps were gathered in its southern part, led by the general Pujes.

After Dian Wei and others killed the Buddha's head, the Kushans continued to dispatch troops to reinforce their southern regions.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not have any strict requirements for Guan and Zhang. He just wanted to tie down the enemy army and attack if possible, but it didn't matter if he didn't attack.

But Guan and Zhang wanted to achieve a decisive victory under limited conditions.

Cao Cao gave them the power to use their troops flexibly, and the two men immediately led their troops and launched a raid.

The area where the Kushan Empire and India meet is mainly plains.

But to the south of the war zone, there are rugged mountains and dangerous roads.

The soldiers under Guan and Zhang were exactly the Bai Li soldiers under Yizhou back then.

Historically, the Bai Li soldiers were the most elite troops in Shu and one of the most powerful armies in the entire Three Kingdoms period.

This unit is known for its expertise in mountain warfare.

After Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he was the first to select elite troops and formed the Bai Li Army.

The entire army is marked by white bird feathers and animal hair. All members are brave warriors who have experienced many battles and are extremely powerful. They are notorious among the surrounding barbarians.

Unfortunately, the Bai Li soldiers of this world were defeated by Cao Wei in Yizhou less than two years after they were formed.

When Cao Cao took over Yizhou, the only unit he did not disband was this ace unit of Yizhou.

The reason is that from the distribution of arms, the Wei army had no shortage of light and heavy cavalry, nor of infantry.

But its mountain combat capability is relatively weak.

The Bai Li soldiers were the masters of mountain warfare, so they were retained.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the Bai Li soldiers and marched on foot through the southern mountains and plains that the Kushans thought were impossible to pass through. They rushed day and night, crossing mountains and ridges at an average walking speed of nearly 200 miles a day, and marched around to the rear of the Kushan army in the south.

Then they came out of the mountains and rushed to the target. During their march, Cao Cao contacted Guan and Zhang once with Xunzhu.

After learning the distance the two men had traveled on foot, Cao Cao thought they could go even faster.

In later generations, there was a miraculous record of a foot march, in which they ran nearly 150 miles in fourteen hours, using their "iron feet" to outrun the enemy's wheels, and finally blocked the enemy, writing a war myth.

The Bai Li soldiers led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the same combat intention.

That night, after leaving the mountains, the two men split into two groups.

Zhang Fei hid in the dark, constantly looking in one direction.

He was waiting for Guan Yu's signal.

Guan Yu will take the lead in attacking, striking from the rear and striking his opponent from behind.

Once Guan Yu starts the war, Zhang Fei's group will also begin to take action.

His battle objectives were particularly important and could even determine the outcome of the entire Kushan southern war.

midnight.

There was a wooden kite in the night sky, flying from dozens of miles away, bringing news to Zhang Fei.

The wooden kite that Cao Cao obtained when he captured Jia Xu was put to good use for the first time in so many years.

The wooden kite's communication has a distance limit and cannot be used if the distance is too far.

This kind of communication in close-range coordinated combat is just right.

After Zhang Fei saw the news, he said to the many Bai Li soldiers following him:
"All the troops, this time we must fight with all our might and blood. The enemy is heavily guarding the place, and their numbers far outnumber ours. Do you dare to follow me, Zhang Yide, to break through the enemy's formation and show our military prestige!"

"Why don't you dare!"

"The general has given the order, and I will die with him!"

"Well said. The other two armies of our Great Wei have also received victory reports. We can't lose face. If we don't kill them, it will scare the Kushans and show our abilities. We will be unworthy of being the Wei army!!"

Zhang Fei's eyes were glaring like a beast: "All soldiers, listen up, follow me to kill them!"

"Put all the white feathers on your head. It's late at night. Don't kill the wrong person."

Zhang Fei rushed out from his hiding place holding the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, pushed the ground with his big feet, and took a step of seven or eight feet. With all his strength, he rushed towards the city ahead.

Thousands of Bai Li soldiers rushed out, each running as fast as a flying feather, following closely behind.

late at night.

Zhang Fei was running in front with big strides, and he alone could run with the momentum of thousands of troops.

Logically, you should remain hidden until the very last moment. The more sudden it is, the later the enemy will react, the better.

But Zhang Fei threw away his arms and was full of fighting spirit. He did not want to hide his determination and wanted to let his opponent know that Zhang Yide from Yan had arrived.

what--

Zhang Fei let out a roar like thunder across the city hundreds of feet ahead.

In the space in front of him, there was a ripple like a rolling wave, surging forward.

what--

Zhang Fei roared angrily, suddenly kicked the ground and rushed up.

On the distant city walls, alarm bells were ringing from the Kushan army.

The general stationed on the city wall was Pujes's deputy general, Tokure.

He was also a well-known brave general of Kushan. When he heard Zhang Fei's roar, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a huge "black bear monster" falling from the sky.

Just as Tokure was about to respond, he heard Zhang Fei shout again!
This loud shout was like thunder coming out of nowhere.

Tokure's ears were buzzing and his eyes were full of stars.

The moment he was stunned, Zhang Fei raised the snake spear in his hand from above, and it pierced through his neck and into his body.

Zhang Fei then landed on the top of the city wall.

The bricks and stones of the city wall cracked under his powerful impact.

He took the opportunity to pick up Tokure.

His whole body was shattered into pieces by the weapons.

The brutality of this attack gave a chill to the Kushan soldiers who saw it from far and near.

what--

Zhang Fei took advantage of having the best voice in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period and shouted again.

When the soldiers on the city wall were uneasy, Zhang Fei took the opportunity to climb down the city wall, killed several Kushan soldiers in succession, and defeated the defending army at an astonishing speed.

Wherever he passed, there was blood all along the way.

The snake spear in his hand transformed into a huge black dragon, flying up and down, and any enemy it came out would die.

when!
An enemy soldier swung his sword at Zhang Fei, but he shrugged and took the blow.

The concentrated attack made him seem unperturbed, but the enemy's sword bounced up and was almost knocked out of his hand.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei had reached the city gate.

The city gate was repeatedly pierced by his snake spear, and cracks appeared on it.

Finally, Zhang Fei collided with him.

A huge human-shaped hole was shattered in the city gate.

The next moment, he rushed back from the door.

What he brought back were thousands of Bai Li soldiers.

Zhang Fei led his men to attack this city because it was located in the rear of the Kushan army in the south and was their grain storage area.

That night, the shouting and killing sounds continued throughout the city.

As dawn approached, a huge fire broke out in the city.

Zhang Fei led his troops to burn the baggage of the southern Kushan army.

After dawn.

He led his troops south to join Guan Yu, and together they attacked the army led by Pujes from the rear.

With a force of less than 10,000 soldiers, the two of them severely damaged the two main Kushan corps and destroyed their food and grass.

After receiving the news, Kushan General Pujes was shocked:

"Our army is heavily guarded and has a strategically located food supply area. The front lines are even more tightly guarded. How can the Wei army attack us from behind?"

Upon hearing the news, Cao Cao thought to himself: We have been defeated in three directions, victory is already decided, it depends on whether the Kushan leader will surrender or not.
