Chapter 970: Sitting and Watching the Tide Rise and Fall (2)
Yue Kefeng's strength was frustrated, so he had to temporarily spread dozens of miles to stabilize his position. At the same time, the Xizhen Army led by Shuksa continued to advance and approached the city of Fulousha, the royal capital, and the situation was very unfavorable for Yue Duo.
"What can I do? Yue Kefeng's rice bucket!! Yueduo looked a little hysterical, and Hilpa frowned tightly.
"For today's plan, I can only ask Dawei for help!" Hilpa said in a deep voice.
Yue Duo was stunned for a moment, shook his head vigorously and said, "No! If we let the Wei people in, even if we defeat the old guy in the end, I'm afraid that we will become slaves of the Wei people! ”
At this moment, a cronie rushed in with a happy face.
"Your Highness, good news! The Jin people suddenly attacked Nisa City a few days ago, and they have already captured Nisa! ”
Yueduo and Hilpa's eyes lit up, and Yueduo couldn't help but high-five: "Okay, great! Jin people are really moving
Wait! ”
Hilpa said excitedly: "You should send an envoy to contact the Jin people immediately!" ”
Yue Duo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Let the Habble go! ”
Five days ago, the Jin general Huang Huan led an army of 300,000 Jin people to suddenly reneg on the agreement signed with Vesudeva not long ago, and launched an attack on Nisa, the core town of the Khorazm region, and the 30,000 Xizhen army, which was caught off guard, resisted desperately, and lost two days later, with more than 30,000 defenders suffering more than 10,000 casualties, and most of the rest retreated to the southeast. Later, Huang Xuan continued to march east and south, and five days later captured the two provinces in the west and southwest of Kushan!
These two provinces were actually two of the thirteen provinces in the eastern part of the Anxi Empire that were occupied by the Guishan at the time, and when the Jin army entered these two dozen six provinces of the opening of the province, they were welcomed by the local people.
Green Ridge Fortress.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Kushan people! The Jin have already captured Nissa and the two western provinces, and Vesudeva and Shuksa are simply not able to come back! If the current situation continues, I am afraid that Guishan will not only have to spit out the thirteen provinces that he occupied, but may also be further degraded! This is very unfavorable to our Great Wei Empire! Xi Zhicai analyzed.
In addition to Cao Cao, the emperor of Great Wei, there were also generals such as Zhao Yun and Ma Teng.
"Then let's fight! The previous battle with Guishan was simply painless! Ma Teng slapped his chest and said loudly.
Cao Cao smiled, "General Shoucheng is really like a fire!" However, it is not certain whether our army will intervene directly! As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai nodded, "Actually, the Jin people are too eager to attack Guishuang this time!" They have just ended the battle in the Caucasus, the west is not stable, the army and grain plants are hugely depleted, and a large-scale attack on Kushan at this time will not only put huge logistical pressure, but also give their enemies in the west an opportunity! As far as the current situation is concerned, the most important thing for Jin people to do is to recuperate! ”
"I said drama Shangshu, you always analyze what Jin Renren does? Let's come to what we should do! Ma Teng said impatiently.
Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao exchanged a look with a smile, and Xi Zhicai said: "We should prepare for war, but it's best not to rush into action!" As he spoke, he looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked, "Zhicai, you mean that the Romans will not sit idly by?" ”
Xi Zhicai nodded, "That's for sure!" The Romans suffered a lot of losses in the battle of the Caucasus, and they hated the Jin people to the core! In addition, if Kushan fell into the hands of the Jin, the Romans would not be able to sleep and eat! Therefore, for whatever reason, the Romans would have intervened! ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "What Zhicai said is very reasonable!" But we can't put our hopes in the Romans! You must be ready to strike at any time! At the same time, send emissaries to Vesudeva and the Jinren! ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xi Zhicai gave up.
At about the same time, the Roman Emperor Caracalla decided to use Seth as his general and mobilize 350,000 main forces to the east to fight against the Jin, and the Romans acted very decisively and fiercely.
As soon as he received the news, he gave up continuing to attack the hinterland of Kushan, and at the same time abandoned the territory he had already occupied, and led the army back to Nissa City. At the same time, 150,000 Jin reinforcements were on their way from the imperial capital to Nisa, and among these 150,000 troops were the strongest elite of the Jin people.
Seth led seven legions, 350,000 main forces arrived in Nisa City half a month later, and then fought with the Jin army under Nisa City, after three days of bloody battles, the Jin army was forced to retreat into Nisa City.
A day later, the siege battle kicked off with earth-shattering battles.
Green Ridge Fortress.
"Your Majesty, the Roman army and the Jin army are fighting fiercely under the city of Nisa!" Ma Teng rushed into the council hall and rushed into the tunnel.
At this time, Cao Cao was discussing military affairs with Xi Zhicai.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and smiled.
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Is General Shoucheng unable to sit still?" ”
Ma Teng smiled, "That's not it! It's just watching these two fight, it's just a little itchy! ”
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai couldn't help laughing.
Cao Cao said thoughtfully: "This battle is mostly white, and it is difficult to see in a short period of time!" Our army doesn't necessarily have to stay there forever! ”
Ma Teng's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty, if you attack, I will be the vanguard!" ”
Cao Cao smiled and joked: "General Shoucheng, you are really welcome!" Well, that's fine! ”
"Your Majesty, you have agreed! Don't look back! Huang Zhong said excitedly.
Cao Cao saw Ma Teng, who looked like a child, and couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Don't regret it!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Then I won't bother Your Majesty to discuss the military with Xi Zhishang! Ma Teng clenched his fist at Cao Cao and retreated.
"Although this General Ma is not young, he is as excited as a young man!" Xi Zhicai was quite emotional.
Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "If this is not the case, it is not a longevity!" By the way, how are the logistics prepared? ”
"According to His Majesty's expectations, we are transporting supplies from the major warehouses in Chang'an and Xiliang to the Green Ridge Fortress, and now three million loads of grain have been transported, plus the original reserves here, there are a total of six million loads of grain, which is enough for the current army in the Western Regions for half a year! In addition, all 260 catapults have been transported, all of them are heavy catapults, and now there are 500 catapults in the Green Ridge Fortress! ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, "Tell Chang'an to bring another two million loads of grain!" ”
"Command!" Xi Zhicai promised it.
Seth's Roman army spent nearly half a month under the city of Nissa, but failed to achieve satisfactory results, and by this time the reinforcements of the Jin people had arrived. (To be continued.) )
