Chapter 961: Arrogance (1)
After a tragic cavalry battle, Ma Chao led the Xiongnu battalion iron cavalry to break through the interception of four times his own strength, and then the battle for thousands of miles turned the entire northern Kushan into a pot of porridge.
At the same time, Ma Teng suddenly led the 250,000 main forces of the Green Ridge Fortress to attack the territory of Kushan, and in just three days, he broke through five border passes of the opponent and annihilated more than 30,000 enemies.
The army approached the city of Par, the capital of Parbang, two hundred miles north of the fortress of Ruti, and there were only 30,000 defenders in the city.
This Pharabang is a province in Kushan close to the Green Ridge Mountains, the area is not small, but the population is small, mainly nomadic, the capital city of Par has more than 100,000 people.
This news was quickly fed back to the Luti Fortress and the Guishan Imperial Capital, and the Guishan government and the opposition, who had not yet recovered from the panic caused by Ma Chao, fell into the panic again.
Many people have questioned Yue Kefeng, who is the chief general of the Beizhen Army, but the old Prime Minister Toulon strongly supports Yue Kefeng, the reason is very simple, the reason why the Guishan Army behaved wrongly is actually more because of Yue Kefeng, the leading general, but because the attitude of the Guishan Imperial Court towards this war has been very vague, which has led to Yue Kefeng, the front-line general, being constrained.
Toulon told Vesudeva I that if he did not want to suffer greater losses, he had to make up his mind as soon as possible, either to negotiate with Wei or to order Yue Kefeng to launch an all-out attack on the Western Regions.
After much deliberation and with the help of many ministers, Vesudeva I finally made up his mind to wage an all-out war against the Western Regions.
After Ma Teng led the army to surround Parr, he immediately launched a strong attack, the Sixth Army served as the main attack, dozens of torsion heavy catapults let out an earth-shattering roar, and the whistling stone projectiles swept through the city of Parr like a storm, and the officers and soldiers of the Kushan Army were knocked down from the city by a huge force from time to time, and died a miserable death: in the face of this black technology weapon that they had never seen before, all the Kushan army couldn't help but tremble, and the Kushan people hiding in their homes prayed with pale faces, and every loud noise that came made them tremble for a while.
The catapults bombarded for two quarters of an hour, and then the 20,000 foot soldiers of the Sixth Legion, who had been waiting impatiently, stormed the walls.
The ladder climbs up the city wall: The Wei soldiers rushed towards the city wall with a shout, and the city carts slammed into the city gates, which had been almost destroyed by the catapults, but at this time, the Kushan army did not seem to have recovered from the shock just now, and the arrows flew down from the city in a sparse manner, and occasionally rolling stones and logs fell under the city walls.
The Wei army quickly rushed to the head of the city, and did not make much effort to repel the Kushan soldiers who tried to stop them, and then more and more Wei soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and the entire city wall defense line quickly collapsed, and at the same time, the city car broke through the city gate, and a part of the Wei army poured into the city with a shout.
There was no suspense in the rest of the battle.
After capturing the city of Par, Ma Teng did not continue to march towards the fortress of Ruti, but divided his troops to break through the two cities on the east and west sides of the city of Par, so far, Ma Teng occupied three important cities north of the fortress of Ruti, and they were at the corner of each other.
Flower thorn sub mold eyebrow Wei Cheng.
"General, this is the latest intelligence from the Western Regions!" An officer came to the lobby of the office and presented a report to Huang Hui, who was currently discussing military affairs with several important generals under his command.
After reading the information, Huang said to everyone with some regret: "Wei has finally extended his claws to the west!" Three days ago, the Wei army of nearly 300,000 troops broke through the Kushan Parbang! At the same time, their 10,000 elite iron horsemen entered the hinterland of Guishan and once arrived under the imperial capital! ”
Several generals exchanged surprised looks, and one asked, "General, can we take this opportunity to attack Nissa again?" ”
Several of the other generals couldn't help but look wistful.
Huang Yu shook his head, "At present, the war in the West is entering the most critical stage, and Your Majesty definitely does not want to see us go to war again!" ”
When several generals heard this, they couldn't help but show regret.
Just when Huang revealed that they regretted that they could not attack Nissa, the elite of the Jin army attacking the Bosphoru Kingdom finally made a decisive breakthrough.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jin Kingdom rushed to the city wall with the corpses of the soldiers of the Bosphoru Kingdom like a mountain, and rushed into the city, and the originally beautiful city was already submerged in the smoke of the blood sea wolf.
Although the soldiers of the Bosphoru Kingdom, who still did not give up, showed admirable courage, they were so vulnerable in front of the fierce Jin army.
A young kingdom soldier bravely swung his sword and slashed at the enemy, but the blow he had hoped for was easily blocked by the other party, and then he saw the other party smiling and swinging his axe, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and then he didn't know anything.
The Jin army finally stormed the palace, and after a brutal slaughter, the Jin people's battle flag was planted on the highest building in the palace.
However, the Jin army was not able to capture the princess of the Bosporu Kingdom, and at the moment when the palace was breached, the princess disguised as a commoner escaped from the royal capital with the symbol of the Bosporu Kingdom and bitter hatred.
When the news of the fall of the Bosphoru Kingdom reached the Roman Imperial Army on the Caucasian front, the leading general Seth sensed the seriousness of the situation and immediately reported the situation to the Emperor Caracalla, who was far away in Rome, while shrinking his defensive line to prepare for the Jinren's frantic counterattack.
After receiving the order of Vesudeva I to launch a full-scale attack, Yue Kefeng immediately mobilized all his troops to launch a counterattack on the Wei army occupying Parbang in three directions.
However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Wei army, which had been fierce not long ago, retreated without a fight and retreated into the Green Ridge Fortress.
Yue Kefeng did not dare to be careless, and ordered the army to build a defensive front along the Pal line, while public opinion in the country changed dramatically, and the subjects who had been panicking about the attack of the Wei army not long ago actually showed full confidence and even showed contempt for the Wei army.
"Your Majesty, the Wei army retreated without a fight, obviously afraid of the might of my Kushan army! We should immediately wave our troops into the Western Regions, firstly, to show the national prestige of our Guishan, and secondly, to take the rich Western Regions as our own! The one who spoke was the famous nobleman of Guishan, Tuoyang, in his forties, with a goatee and a villainous face.
No one was surprised by Tuoyang's words. After all, if the Guishan army conquered the Western Regions, as a privileged nobleman, Tuoyang would be able to obtain quite objective benefits from it, and the ministers who thought the same as Tuoyang would echo it.
Denzes couldn't help but feel a little excited. (To be continued.) )
