Chapter 527: It only took two days to cause a big uproar [Subscribe]

Another battlefield in Kangju.

Wang Yan is an elite soldier under the Wei army. He is 24 years old this year and has been in the army for six years.

He experienced the wars before the founding of the country, fought against the Xianbei, and was stationed in the Western Regions after returning from the grassland campaign. He also went to Wusun on rotation and gradually became a veteran.

Clang!

The knife flashed.

Wang Yan's face was gloomy and he retained more than 30% of his strength when he drew his sword. This was his experience as an old soldier, so he changed his moves even faster.

Sure enough, the first knife was blocked by the opponent, but Wang Yan immediately swung the knife horizontally.

The knife was moved with the force of the momentum, and pushed forward diagonally at a rapid speed.

The Kangju soldier on the opposite side only had time to turn his head slightly before half of his neck was chopped off and he died in an instant.

Wang Yan squeezed his horse's belly and rushed towards his next opponent.

On the chaotic battlefield, he was accompanied by two companions.

Within the Wei Dynasty, a cavalry squad consisted of seven people, and three people formed a group.

For every two groups, there is one person in the middle and back position, following along.

It has the least enemy contact and is mainly responsible for supporting its companions.

If a companion becomes exhausted or injured, he can immediately exchange positions with the people accompanying him.

The Wei army was becoming more and more shrewd and extravagant in its warfare. One person in every two groups was responsible for supporting the troops, which kept the casualties rate of the Wei army low.

This classic assault formation is common in later generations.

From the original seven-member team, it was gradually reduced to three people as a combat unit.

Of course, there will be some changes in the era of cold weapons.

Therefore, every two teams cooperated with each other, and another person rode behind to provide internal support.

The Wei army and the Kangju soldiers were engaging in street fighting in the streets of a military fortress.

I don’t know how long the battle lasted, but Wang Yan suddenly felt the pressure relieved.

They had fought their way through the enemy ranks.

The surrounding enemy troops began to flee.

The appearance of deserters often means that one side is about to secure victory.

Wang Yan spat, "The Kangju people have been fighting for less than half an hour and some of them are already running away. What cowardly soldiers!"

His voice was full of pride, the pride that came from being a veteran and winning time and time again.

"Stop bragging. How's your injury?"

Around Wang Yan, his teammates were all injured to varying degrees, but there were no casualties.

The fortune of the Wei Dynasty is on the rise, and the quality of the soldiers, their experience, their equipment, and the changes in their military formations are all improving.

With fewer equally matched opponents, there will be fewer casualties.

Wang Yan continued to boast: "Kangju are all idiots. Fighting against my Wei is courting death. I'm fine."

Seeing that he was seriously injured, his companion came over, lifted up his armor and took a look.

There is a layer of inner armor inside the armor, just like a thick layer of skin, like a bulletproof vest.

Wang Yan was stabbed diagonally by his opponent along the gap in his armor. If it weren't for this layer of leather armor, he would have definitely died.

But with inner armor, it will be a minor injury.

"Look."

"The Kangju general and General Ma are facing off!"

"The one who challenged us to a fight on the city wall before the battle, General Ma, is determined to break through this military barrier. Let's come in and get him!"

On the battlefield ahead, Ma Chao, wearing a lion helmet and beast belt, riding on horseback and holding a spear, was fighting against the Left Guard General Hahewan Bozi, who had rushed to the southern front from the Kangju ruler's place a few days ago.

He is tall and strong, wielding a giant spear like a war hammer, and his eyes are like bronze bells.

When Ma Chao led the Wei army to attack, he was on the top of the city wall of Sai City, shouting that he would defeat the Wei army.

At this time, Ma Chao led his troops to charge in.

The huge spear in Hahewan Boz's hand suddenly attacked with the momentum of sweeping away thousands of troops.

when!
Ma Chao turned his spear and hit the opponent's spear tip.

There was a clanging of metal, and Boz's hand shook, nearly causing the giant spear to slip out of his hand.

He is a fierce general, known for his tremendous strength.

Unexpectedly, he met Ma Chao, who was stronger than him.

Boz said angrily, "Come again!"

The two fought for several moves, and Ma Chao used his strength to attack him each time. If you thrust your spear, I will strike your spear tip. The competition was about who had more strength and the opponent could not bear it first.

Boz's hands started shaking first, then his arms ached, and finally half of his arm felt like it had been hit by a hammer, making it difficult for him to exert force.

After the third collision, his giant spear fell to the ground with a buzzing sound.

Boz finally lost all his energy and turned his horse to run away.

"It's my turn now. If you can block my attack, I will spare your life!"

Ma Chao raised the tip of his spear, and as Bozi turned sideways to run, the spear pierced through his armpit and went out diagonally from his neck.

Boz was shot dead, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

Ma Chao's spear tip shook slightly, and he threw the corpse to the ground.

"You are not even a second-rate general in my Wei Dynasty, yet you dare to be so arrogant!"

Ma Chao muttered something, and then thought that something was wrong. He was just a second-rate general in the Wei Dynasty.

Why should he compare with me? He cursed again: "He is nothing. He is not even a fifth-rate general in my Wei Dynasty."

This time there are many layers of separation, and it feels like the insults are very precise.

"General Ma is very skilled."

"The general is brave!"

There was a burst of cheers in the distance.

Ma Chao turned his head.

The admiring look in the subordinates' eyes is really nice to see.

The generals were dead, the troops were scattered and fled. On the battlefield, many Wei troops were chasing the defeated soldiers.

The main battle line in southern Kangju has been broken.

Ma Chao glanced at the west side, Wei Yan and Pang De, wondering how far they had advanced.
"Order, line up outside the city, rest for two hours, and keep the troops on alert. The rear troops will come up soon to clean up the battlefield. We will not be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. At daybreak, make a detour to the east!"

Ma Chao shouted loudly, and the whole battlefield could hear it:
"Your Majesty has asked us to defeat Kangju within three days. Pang Lingming and I have discussed that it will take at most two days to break through Kangju's main defense line, so we need to intensify our military operations.

If you are injured or feel you can't keep up, tell us as soon as possible, stay and rest, and then join the rear army! "

The whole army responded loudly.

The sky is bright.

After two hours of rest, the Wei army set out again and headed eastward.

Cao Wei's military operation lasted two days. Ma Chao, Pang De and Wei Yan led the troops and broke through the enemy's defense lines from the outside.

Xu Chu, Taishi Ci, and Xu Huang first attacked the heart of the country, beheaded the king, and then attacked from the inside out.

When the ruler of Kangju was killed, all the Kangju ministers who were in the city with him died one after another.

The local armies lost unified command and became unaffiliated with each other, and were thrown into chaos by internal and external troubles.

A large number of Kangju troops began to flee without fighting.

The part about hunting down deserters in the later stage is no longer the responsibility of Ma Chao and his men.

The group of people finished their work on the third day and retreated south in a very arrogant manner, preparing to report to Cao Cao.

On the first day of the attack on Kangju, it sent out several teams to ask for help from its allies.

The message for help was delivered to the friendly forces almost at the same time as the news of defeat.

To the southwest of Kangju was the Parthian Empire of the Parthians.

To the south is Kushan.

A few days after the battle, when Xu Chu, Ma Chao and others rode back to Cao Cao's camp to report, the news spread completely.

The Kushans, Parthia, and Zoroastrians learned of this one after another, causing an uproar.

"Kangju... the Wei army broke through its entire defense line in two days, and the king is dead!"

"What tactics did the Wei army use?"

"They had already occupied important cities such as Samarkand. Kangju's outer defense line had long been broken. In fact, there is no need to be too surprised. They fought this battle based on the previous ones."

“That’s too fast.”

The Kushans, Parthians, and Zoroastrians all had similar conversations.

The news of the end of Kangju's kingdom swept across the countries, big and small, on both ends of the Pamir Plateau like a storm.

Kushan.

After hearing the news, Bo Diao sat on the throne for half an hour and issued a new order:

"Mobilize the main forces of all Kushan forces. Remember, my order is to mobilize all parties and concentrate all efforts to hand over the eastern front to Ponsai for command!"

Cao Wei's conquest of Kangju undoubtedly cast a shadow on the allied forces of all parties.

As for Parthia, it received the news of Kangju's defeat earlier than the Kushans.

"Phares, it seems you have to go again to ask for an audience with Emperor Wei!"

The garrison on the Parthian front was actually not far from Cao Cao's camp.

Looking at the map, one needs to cross the east and west borders of Kushan to reach the eastern border of Parthia.

However, the border of Kushan was narrow from east to west, and the main terrain was plains, so the speed of travel was very fast.

Moreover, part of the Parthian troops had entered Kushan in the name of assisting in the war, and the distance was even closer.

The last time Phares went to Cao's camp, he was kicked out and the experience was very unpleasant.

He had just come back and said that Cao Wei lacked respect for Parthia and should be taught a lesson on the battlefield.

Before he had finished speaking, news came that Kangju had been destroyed.

The commander in charge of the Parthian front was Dogo Sonus, a commander who had met Bodeau before.

There is also Foreign Minister Lardo who was sent from the capital.

At this time, the commander-in-chief Sonus was looking at the map of Kangju, trying to analyze the Wei army's strategy for conquering Kangju in two days.

His eyes roamed back and forth on the map.

"The first news that came was that Kangju's defense line was breached, and then the king was killed.

Judging from the news, the Wei army used troops both inside and outside the country to kill the king and break the defense line, thus causing Kangju to collapse..."

Sonus whispered: "Two days..."

Foreign Minister Lardo sat on one side and continued to say to Fares:

"If the Wei army defeats Kangju, there will be no force in the north that can threaten them. We need to find a way out. You go to the Wei army camp again. Prepare valuable gifts and a personal letter from His Majesty and take them with you."

Fares thought of the last time he was kicked out and hesitated:

"Can you... change someone else?"

"Can't change it."

The Foreign Minister: "There are only two of us who are suitable for the mission. You are a royal, so you are more suitable than me."

The minister thought to himself: It is said that the King of Wei has killed many people. I won’t go, you go...

Unable to refuse, Pharres brought a group of people and returned to Cao's camp to ask for a meeting a few days after leaving.

This time they were much more obedient and were brought into Cao's camp in an orderly manner.

It was still the same big tent as last time, with Zhuge Liang sitting in the middle.

The only difference is that this time, Ma Chao and Pang De, who had just returned, were there to accompany them.

The two of them squinted at the Parthian envoy who came in and asked Pharez:
"You want to take the Zoroastrian deputy leader, Sassi, back with you?"

Fares nodded: "That's right."

Ma Chao ordered: "Go and bring Saxi here."

After a while, the Zoroastrian deputy Patriarch Sassi was brought in.

Fares looked surprised and dazed, and exclaimed "Huh?"

What did Sassi experience here?
