Chapter 688: First Confrontation (3)

"Singh, you led the elite 100,000 of our army to total Kangju from the left flank, and after breaking through the defensive line, you don't have to care about the Kangju army that is in a head-to-head confrontation with the main force of our army, just attack the royal capital of Kangju directly!"

Singh, who was as burly as a bear, answered the promise, took the arrow from Yue Kefeng's hand and retreated.

"Cutting stones, you lead the elite of our army 100,000 into the Rainbow Canyon in the east, and your task is to intercept the Han army that may appear! 100,000 elites should be enough, right? ”

Cutting Shi thought for a while, and said with a resolute face of clenching his fists: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Yue Kefeng nodded, glanced at the generals under the hall again, and encouraged: "My Kushan Empire recently swept through the eastern part of Anxi, and the world is powerful: today, we are going to sweep Kangju and even the Western Regions!" Warriors, beautiful beauties and untold riches await you to take them with your scimitars! ”

The generals couldn't help but get excited, pulled out their scimitars and roared in an ugly Guishan language.

On the same day, the Kushan army left the fortress of Luti, and the troops were directed towards Kangju.

At the same time, countermeasures were being discussed in Kangju's royal palace, and the king of Kangju and the civil and military ministers were there, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"The king should not be too worried! Our Great Wei army has already moved, and as long as the king persists, we will definitely be able to repel Guishan! "It was the envoy sent to Kangju by the Great Wei who spoke.

"Your Majesty need not worry! The last general and 150,000 athletes will definitely be able to resist the country! The burly general said proudly.

The words of these two people made King Kangju feel a little relieved, nodded, and said earnestly: "General, it's all up to you!" ”

Tuo Kun couldn't help but feel excited: "The last general swears to defend Kangju and the king!" ”

On the same day, the Kangju general Tu Kun led an army of 150,000 to leave the royal capital, and the king of Kangju personally led the civil and military ministers to see him off. There were a lot of onlookers, and all of them looked very bad, and they all knew the news of the Guishan army's suppression.

Two days later, he led an army of 150,000 cavalry-based cavalry to the border, and 50,000 foot soldiers were placed in the border forts, but he divided the 100,000 cavalry into two parts and placed them in front of and behind the Raven Mountains.

Face the coming big war. All the soldiers couldn't help but be a little nervous and worried, everyone was silently doing their work, and they were reluctant to speak, and Tuokun shuttled between the various armies to cheer up the soldiers, but the morale of the soldiers still did not improve much!

It's no wonder that the morale of the Kangju army is not high, and the number of opponents must be several times that of their own!

The next day, the scouts hurried into the camp of Tukun.

"General, Kushan's army has appeared!" Scout Rin Kukishi reports.

Tuokun frowned, and the lower part of the tent couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.

"How many? Where is it now? Tuokun asked.

"About 300,000 people. It should be the main force of Guishan! Now they have reached the point about twenty miles away from Raven Mountain! I'll probably be able to reach the outside of Raven Mountain by this evening! ”

Tuokun breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's finally here!" ”

Then he glanced at the generals under his tent, and said loudly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

The ministers will be solemn.

"Bardo, you're in charge of defending the fortress on the front line of Raven Mountain." The general named Bado immediately came out to receive the order, Bado was a native of Kangju, good at riding and shooting, and was a famous warrior in Kangju.

Tuo Kun said confidently: "The enemy is strong, and I definitely wouldn't have thought that our army would take the initiative to attack." Therefore, I decided to personally lead the main cavalry counterattack! ”

All the generals couldn't help but gasp: "General, this"

One of the ministers even wanted to object. However, Tuo Kun interrupted him and said categorically: "This is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, you have to say more!" ”

The general had no choice but to retreat.

Tuokun set his eyes on a subordinate general on the right and ordered: "Tailun, you lead 30,000 horsemen to go out of Crow Mountain for five miles as a response!" ”

The burly general Tyron came out to receive the order.

Subsequently, Tukun led 70,000 cavalry to the west. At the same time, Tailun led the remaining 30,000 horsemen to leave Raven Mountain, and the Kangju infantry stationed at Raven Mountain prepared nervously and waited with trepidation.

At the same time, a Wei army of more than 150,000 had entered the Xiliang territory. is about to arrive at Yumen Pass, and these 150,000 Wei troops are the elite of the 50,000 Seventh Legion, 50,000 Wuhuan Legion and the entire Eighth Legion, and 5,000 Imperial Forest Army.

Originally, he did not plan to transfer the Eighth Army, but Cao Cao, in view of the possible deterioration of the situation in the Western Regions, decided to transfer the Eighth Army Corps, which was originally intended to be a stable force in the Central Plains, to the Western Regions.

The commander who led this army was none other than Cao Cao himself, and the reason why Cao Cao decided to go on a personal expedition was mainly due to the issue of personal prestige, because many problems in history were in the aspect of high merit and high power, although Cao Cao was confident in handling this problem, but enough personal prestige and personal charm were good for the Great Wei Empire.

Another reason is that Cao Cao wants to personally feel the current customs of the Western Regions, of course, the current stability of the domestic situation in the Great Wei is also a very important reason.

The generals who followed Cao Cao on this expedition included Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, and Ma Chao.

Cao Cao glanced at the surrounding scene, which was close to Yumen Pass, because the climate was dry, so the vegetation was scarce, yellow was the main color, and a slightly stronger wind blew, and the scene of yellow sand in front of him was everywhere

"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and swears not to return it if you don't break the frost!" Cao Cao couldn't help but say aloud.

The historian who followed Cao Cao hurriedly took out the banknotes from his bag and wrote: "On the 26th day of the first month of the 11th year of Hongwu, His Majesty led an army of hundreds of thousands to arrive at Yumen Pass. ”

This kind of accompanying historian existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and his main responsibility was to record the king's words and deeds.

Before the evening of the same day, Cao Cao and his army entered the Yumen Pass, rested only for one night, and crossed the Yumen Pass the next day to enter the Western Regions.

Tuokun led 70,000 horsemen to gallop westward, and about half an hour later, the scout came to report: "General, the enemy's main force is a few miles ahead, and they seem to have seen our army!" ”

Tuokun immediately ordered his iron cavalry to attack.

In less than a stove of incense, 70,000 iron cavalry thundered and appeared in front of the Kushan army with monstrous smoke and dust, and the Kushan army showed some chaos at first, but it soon stabilized, and the various armies arranged their formations in an orderly manner under the command of the generals of each department, and at the same time the cavalry on both wings began to outflank the Kangju cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, the Kangju cavalry slammed into the Guishan infantry line, and when the people turned on their horses, the screams were repeated, and the 70,000 Kangju iron cavalry tore apart several Guishan infantry lines in one go, and for a time they raised their hooves in the Guishan army formation and rushed to kill, as if entering a no-man's land.
