"General, will the Wei people come to our side?" One of the generals asked with some concern.
The general smiled: "Impossible! How could the Wei people be stupid enough to enter the hinterland of our empire alone! If I'm right, they'll be breaking through to the Green Ridge Fortress now! ”
"The general is wise!" The general patted his ass, and the general smiled proudly.
However, at this moment, not far ahead, countless cavalry suddenly appeared, black clothes and black armor, smoke and dust, murderous, this Guishan general couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his face changed suddenly, "Not good!" It's the Wei Army's Iron Cavalry! Fast! Ready to fight!! ”
The 10,000 Kushan cavalry looked a little chaotic in a hurry, but they still met the opponent before they rushed in front of him, and it can be seen from this that these 10,000 Kushan cavalry were not a rabble.
Ma Chao took the lead with the dragoon spear obliquely, the belligerent blood in his body was completely boiling, the red cloak danced in the wind, and slammed into the opponent's army, shouting, the dragoon spear danced, and the surrounding Kushan army cavalry was almost simultaneously knocked out!
The Hun iron cavalry rolled up the thunder and violently collided with the enemy battle line with an indomitable and terrifying momentum, and killed the Kushan cavalry on their backs, almost unable to fight back.
Ten thousand iron horsemen swept through the field, the light was like snow, the blood waves were rolling, and the soldiers of the Kushan army planted their horses one after another, and at this moment, they felt as if they were women in front of a strong man.
Ma Chao galloped among thousands of troops and horses, no one could stop them wherever he passed, Xiao Yong was unparalleled, majestic, and no one dared to approach Ma Chao later, and often Ma Chao broke up as soon as he arrived at the Kushan cavalry.
The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the 10,000 Kushan army completely collapsed, and the remaining 2,000 people fled in all directions, while the general of the Kushan army was picked off by Ma Chao in the previous melee.
The Wei army simply cleaned up the battlefield, brought the remains of their comrades, and brought all the horses that had lost their masters.
Ma Chao led the Xiongnu iron cavalry to the south, and galloped straight towards the capital of the Kushan Emperor. The 10,000-strong cavalry team that had been intercepted by the Kushan Army in a row arrived at a small town only ten miles away from the Kushan Emperor's capital two days later.
The Kushan government and the opposition were shaken, and the Kushan Emperor Vesudeva I, who had lost his square inch, urgently ordered Yue Kefeng, Shuksa, and Kozhile to lead the army back to help. People in the city poured into the streets to grab shopping materials, and some people crowded the city gate with their families to get out of the city.
Ma Chao led six thousand iron horsemen who had gone through several bloody battles to arrive at the foot of Guishan City, and Yang Meng rushed to the city gate with four bags and horses, and threw the four bags on the city.
The captain of the city gate hurriedly opened the bag, and his face turned white when he landed, and among the four bags were four bloody human heads.
The lieutenant calmed down, took a closer look, and was shocked to find that these four heads were actually the leading generals of the four cavalry teams that had intercepted the Wei army before.
Soon after, the four heads were placed on the desk of Vesudeva I.
Vesudeva I said in a gloomy voice, "These four heads belong to our four generals!" It was sent by the Wei people! ”
Glancing at His Highness's ministers, he saw that most of them were pale and had a look of fear in their eyes.
"Why don't you speak? Before, most of you generously asked for the use of troops in the Western Regions! It's good now! The iron cavalry of the Wei army actually hit the imperial capital! What do I want you to do with all this shit!! The more Vesudeva I spoke, the more agitated he became.
The ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much! Although the appearance of the Wei army outside the imperial capital was unexpected, the number of troops that came was less than 10,000, and these 10,000 horsemen had fought viciously before, and there was not much combat power left! "The old prime minister Toulon said.
Vesudeva I's face improved, he took a deep breath and asked Toulon, "Old Prime Minister, what do you think we should do now?" ”
Toulon analyzed: "The imperial capital has 30,000 royal guards, and I believe that there is no problem in defending the imperial capital!" ”
Vesudeva I nodded and frowned, "But as the old prime minister said, the enemy army is now only five or six thousand people, and they are quite tired after many fierce battles!" And we have 30,000 horses! If the turtle can't shrink, I'm afraid that it will make the world laugh and disappoint the people! ”
Toulon said helplessly: "Your Majesty, didn't we think the same way before?" But the 30,000 iron horsemen who fought in the battle have been wiped out! The combat power of these 30,000 iron horsemen is not weaker than that of the royal guards! ”
"Rubbish! What a waste!! Vesudeva I scolded with excitement on his face.
The ministers hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear that Vesudeva I would vent his anger on themselves.
Toulon said: "The Xiongnu iron cavalry of the Wei people has experienced cruel and bloody battles since the establishment of the army, and the military discipline is extremely strict! It's not surprising that the combat power is far above our army! But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much! After all, the proportion of the Xiongnu iron cavalry in the Wei army is very small, and the whole army is only 50,000 people! Your Majesty, what we should do now is to hold on to the city! At the same time, prevent the people in the city from rioting! ”
Vesudeva I scolded angrily, and then said to Toulon: "The old prime minister is solely responsible for everything!" ”
"The old minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" Toulon Masashi answered.
Peacock Palace.
"I can't believe that things will turn out to be like this!" Yue Duo said with a distressed expression.
Hilpa frowned and said, "I didn't expect Wei Jun to be so bold!" I didn't expect this Hun iron cavalry to be so powerful! Your Highness, didn't Yue Kefeng fight with the Wei army in the past? Don't you know a little bit about Wei Jun's true abilities? There was a hint of blame in his tone.
Yue Duo drank all the tea in the cup and said with annoyance: "Yue Kefeng once told me, but I didn't take his words seriously at the time!" Now that I think about it, Yue Kefeng not only did not exaggerate the ability of the Wei army, but was also conservative! ”
Then he looked at Hilpa and asked, "How do you think the war will unfold?" Will we win? ”
At this point, Moon Duo didn't seem to have much confidence! In fact, not only him, but now the Guishan government and the opposition have been deeply penetrated by Ma Chao's lone army
The iron cavalry was deeply shocked, 10,000 people made their own side so embarrassed, if the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Green Ridge Fortress came together, then it would be okay!
Hilpa shook her head and said, "I don't know! Although the Wei army is strong, the real Wei army in the Western Regions should only have more than 200,000 people, and the rest are troops composed of troops from other nomadic tribes and countries, and their combat strength should not be stronger than ours! And our army is much more numerically outnumbered than theirs! ”
Yue Duo's eyes couldn't help but light up, "So, we still have a chance to win?" ”
Hilpa nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly turned to Yueduo and said, "Maybe this is our chance!" Your Highness, what you need to do now is to keep Yue Kefeng's military power, and at the same time urge Your Majesty to send more troops to Yue Kefeng's men! ”
Yue Duo was stunned for a moment, then understood, and nodded excitedly.
Of course, Ma Chao could not attack the Kushan King who had 30,000 defenders and the city was strong, Ma Chao stopped under the capital of the Kushan King for a while, immediately turned to the west, and attacked Kanmar, a provincial capital west of the royal capital that was not guarded by many troops, and set fire to the governor's office and treasury, and then went north, and encountered the 20,000 forward cavalry sent by Yue Kefeng to rush to the aid of the royal capital on a plain a hundred miles north of Kanmar.
