Chapter 520 Zhuge Liang's Sharp Arrangement [Subscription Request]

Saxi and others turned their heads to look over.

Among them, the Sixth Legion Commander Kebir said anxiously:
"The Wei army must be marching quickly at this moment, ready to launch an offensive against our Kushans."

"If you want the entire army to stop moving forward, you'd better have a good reason."

A Fu Yu: “I said before that it might be the Wei army setting an ambush to ambush us in return.

Sassi and the Sixth Army Commander said it was impossible. What about now? "

Several people were stunned for a moment.

At that time, they planned to take advantage of the geographical location of Tianshan Gorge to ambush the Wei army that was preparing to pass through the gorge, thus gaining the upper hand.

But at this moment, the Wei army mobilized to attack the place where Kushan had to be rescued, forcing them to go to rescue.

"As the Wei army marched south, we followed them, and the situation of superiority and inferiority changed accordingly," said Afu Yu.

The Sixth Legion Commander frowned with his sword-like sharp eyebrows:

"Are you still worried that the Wei army will ambush us?
This has been discussed before, and the possibility you mentioned is very low.”

"It might have been unlikely before, but now, I am almost certain that the Wei army has an ambush."

Afu Yu said: "We Xianbei have fought with the Wei army many times, and the Wei army is used to influencing the situation on the battlefield."

"From disadvantage to advantage, it is very similar to the way the Emperor Wei used his troops."

The commander of the Sixth Legion raised the corner of his mouth.

Afu Yu's fear of the Emperor of Wei and the Wei army made him somewhat disdainful.

However, thinking that the Kushans were defeated by the Wei army after the battle, he could not say any words of opposition.

"But we can't stop marching just because of your speculation, right?"

A Fuyu pointed ahead and said, "A dozen miles away is the pass leading out of the mountain. Look at the terrain there."

The terrain ahead was high. If they continued forward, they would first have to pass an upward slope, and then the path would narrow.

The terrain was very similar to the place where they had prepared to ambush the Wei army in Tianshan Gorge.

It just became a dangerous place that they had to go through.

"You mean, the Wei army has an ambush ahead?"

"Yes."

"We were in a hurry to get on the road, and we thought we were ambushing the Wei army, and we never thought that the Wei army would set an ambush ahead."

"But they are right in front of us. This is a common tactic of the Wei army, catching them by surprise."

A Fu Yu continued, "If we want to verify whether there are any Wei troops, we just need to go investigate in person. No matter how brilliant the military strategy is, it will not be hidden from our eyes."

"it is good."

This was a matter of life and death, so after a moment's thought, Kebir agreed immediately.

Saxi also agreed: "Let's go and have a look."

Afu Yu's figure leaped up like an eagle, stepped into the air, and suddenly disappeared in the distance.

The soldiers remained where they were and stood by.

Saxi, Kebir also chased after him.

A quarter of an hour later, several people stood on a cliff, using the huge rocks in front of them to shelter themselves and looking out.

They could see two mountains in the distance, and on their flanks, many Wei troops were crouching, with swords drawn and murderous intent hidden within.

The entire army was hidden in the misty aura of military strategy.

If Afu Yu and others had not checked it personally, it would be difficult for ordinary scouts to find any abnormalities unless they got close to a certain distance.

"There really is an ambush." ​​Kebir said in surprise.

The location where they were observing was several hills away from the Wei army and was extremely far away.

But Afu Yu was extremely cautious. He signaled not to speak and to step back first.

Soon, the three returned to the army.

“Afuyu, this time it’s thanks to you that I warned you, otherwise my men would have suffered heavy casualties.

I apologize to you for my rudeness just now."

Kebir asked solemnly: "In your opinion, what should we do next?"

Saxi also looked at Afuyu.

"Even if we discover the Wei army's ambush, it will be difficult to threaten them in return."

Afu Yu: "Now we have no choice but to take a detour to avoid their ambush. I remember there is another road to the west that can be used."

Kebir: “Although there is a route to the west, Lan’s city was captured by the Wei army, and the Wei army has blocked many roads in the northern part of our Kushan.

Even if we go around from the west, it will be difficult to get past the Wei army blockade and reinforce Congling."

"Then there is only one way left. Let's go back the same way we came."

"Retreat to Tianshan Gorge?"

"Not only must we retreat back to Tianshan Gorge."

Afu Yu: "The Wei army ambushed us here. The troops previously stationed in the north of the Western Regions have also been withdrawn to the Pamir Mountains in the southwest, so the Western Regions are now empty.

We will pass through the Tianshan Gorge. From the north of the Western Regions, we will fight our way into the Western Regions."

"No, it's too risky. If we make even the slightest mistake, we will be trapped in the Western Regions and our entire army will be wiped out," Kebir said.

Afu Yu: "The Wei army fought against the Kushans on three fronts at the same time: in Pamirs, Yuzhen, and Tianzhu. The total number of troops mobilized was more than 80,000.

How many troops are left in the Western Regions?"

"The total number of Wei troops in the Western Region is around 100,000. We have conducted several investigations before and we are sure that we are not wrong."

“We have just separated from Kangju’s troops. Now we should call them back and reunite with them. We can cross the Tianshan Gorge and raid the Western Regions, which will surely inflict heavy damage on the Wei army.

This is a great opportunity.

We can chase the Wei army south of the Congling Mountains and kill them, and we will win a great victory. Perhaps it will be more effective than the original plan to ambush the Wei army."

Kebir and Saxi were both considering how feasible Afuyu's suggestion was.

In order to ambush the Wei army, they carried sufficient food and fodder, enough for them to launch another attack.

The distance out of the Tianshan Gorge is not far, and by entering the Western Regions, one can also plunder and replenish.

After a brief calculation, they concluded that Afu Yu's plan was feasible.

"I would like to ask your Majesty." Kebil looked at Saxi.

Sasi took out an ancient parchment scroll and a pen engraved with many curse patterns.

"Every time this divine scroll is used, divine power is consumed. This scroll is almost completely used up."

Sashi hummed softly and recited the Zoroastrian sacrificial text, and a faint halo appeared on the tip of the pen, as if it was lit.

He took up his pen and wrote on the leather scroll.

"Your Majesty, Saxi has sent a message."

The Zoroastrian deputy leader Gilbis came to the palace, met Bodiao, and explained the situation encountered by Sassi and others.

"They want to attack the Western Region?"

"That's right. The Western Region is empty. The raid through the Tianshan Gorge is a short journey. Even if the Wei army received the news, it would not be able to dispatch troops to respond in time."

Gilbis said:
"If we rush to the Western Regions and attack from the Congling line, our troops will be able to break through the Wei army's defenses and reverse the unfavorable situation."

Bo Diao walked a few steps on the platform where the throne was, weighing the pros and cons.

"Pass on my order to the Sixth Army to attack the Western Regions through the Tianshan Gorge."

"Tell Kebir to fight to the death and defeat the enemy, or else bring your head to me."

Sassi soon received the news sent back by Gilbis.

The Sixth Army Commander Kebir clenched his fist and issued an order:
"Change direction and march at full speed."

Afu Yu, Bu Liugu and others were all excited.

After fighting with the Wei people for so long, this was the first time I discovered their ambush and seized such a good opportunity.

This time we will definitely inflict a heavy blow to the Wei army.

The entire army advanced rapidly along the route and sent a message to the Kangju people who had recently separated.

The pass of Mount Thor.

Zhang Liao, who was hiding and waiting to block the enemy, soon learned that the Kushan troops retreated before they could get close.

He rose from his hiding place and looked toward the north.

All the enemy troops have gone away.

“Somewhat interesting…”

Zhang Liao muttered: "Send the message back that our ambush failed and the enemy retreated."

……

A day later, the Sixth Kushan Army, Sassi and others, and the Kangju troops reunited near the Tianshan Gorge.

"We must speed up our march. If the Wei army discovers that we are retreating, we must be prepared for any changes."

The two teams joined together to form a strong and powerful army.

The two thousand-man teams of the Wei army guarding the two ends of the Tianshan Gorge saw tens of thousands of them charging out, but did not engage in battle and quickly withdrew their troops.

The Kushan and Kangju coalition forces then headed east at full speed, fearing that they would give the Wei army time to respond.

After the Wei Dynasty occupied Wusun, it spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pave and rebuild the road at the mouth of the Tianshan Gorge.

The cavalry could ride on multiple horses at the same time, which made it convenient for the coalition forces to move forward.

Two days later, they crossed the ancient Tianshan Road and came to the area bordering the grassland and the Western Regions.

The wind is blowing, cool and pleasant.

A hundred miles ahead, we can turn south and rush into the Western Regions.

The army continued marching eastward for dozens of miles and found that the terrain suddenly opened up.

To their northeast is the endless grassland.

To the south, the mountains are undulating along the remnants of the Tianshan Mountains.

As you go further east, the mountains will gradually become lower. When there are no mountains at all, you will turn south to the northern entrance of the Western Region.

"The whole army!"

Kebir rode on a majestic warhorse and said passionately:

"My Kushan warriors, the Wei people invaded our land, killed our people, and robbed our wealth."

"Now, it's time for us to march into the Western Regions and take back everything the Wei army has robbed us of!"

"This time, anyone we meet from Wei will be killed without mercy!!"

Not far away, Kangju general Kang Lemu was also making pre-war mobilization.

Both armies were eager to fight and were ready for battle.

Nearly an hour later, the entrance and exit to the north side of the Western Region appeared in front.

There is a military fortress built by the Wei army here.

The wooden structures, two military forts about a mile apart, were located on flat ground, guarding the northern entrance to the Western Regions.

The coalition forces of Kangju and Kushan were getting closer, and the Wei troops inside the military barrier had already sounded the alarm.

"The soldiers they left behind number at most a few thousand, and they will never be able to resist our attack!"

Kebir waved his hand viciously and led the charge towards the military pass.

Saxi, Afu Yu, Bu Liugu and others followed behind, also ready for battle.

"Arthur, mobilize the Divine Guards to break through this military fortress as quickly as possible and enter the Western Regions!" said Saxi.

Arthur Todd is the leader of the Zoroastrian Holy Guard.

His dark red robe fluttered, his face was stern, and he personally led the Divine Guard Knights to charge!
More than 30,000 soldiers and horses rose and fell like the tide, covering the mountains and plains.

At this moment, Afu Yu suddenly felt palpitations.

He had similar feelings when the Wei army attacked the Xianbei and fought the last battle before the Xianbei's demise.

The next moment, Afu Yu saw a rain of arrows shooting out from the military fortress where the coalition forces were attacking in front.

There is an ambush!
Just by looking at the number of arrows, one could tell that the Wei army was well prepared.

Afu Yu's heart was throbbing more and more, and a chill ran through his whole body.

How could the Wei army have an ambush in the Western Regions?

It was he, Afu Yu, who discovered the ambush of the Wei army at Lator Mountain and decided on a whim to attack the Western Regions.

If the Wei army wanted to set up an ambush in the Western Regions, they needed to consider that they could see through the ambush at Lator Mountain and predict that they would turn back and launch a surprise attack on the Western Regions.

This is impossible. There can't be someone in the world who can calculate so precisely!

But tens of thousands of arrows did appear before his eyes.

The Wei army was obviously waiting for them to crash into them.

Afu Yu, Saxi and others felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave.

On the top of the military camp in front, Zhuge Liang just showed up and watched the battle from a distance.

He had been planning for this battle for some time, with the goal of completely annihilating the Kushan and Kangju coalition forces.
