However, this situation did not last long, as more and more Kushan hoplites and pikemen were thrown into the front, the impact of the Kangju cavalry was rapidly reduced, and as the Kushan cavalry moved back, the Kangju cavalry was increasingly in danger of being encircled.

Tuokun led the iron cavalry to fight a bloody battle in the sea of Kushan's infantry for about a quarter of an hour, and when he realized that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately ordered the cavalry to leave the battlefield.

After a bloody battle, the Kangju Iron Cavalry finally broke out of the sea of Kushan's infantry, but collided head-on with Kushan's rangers.

The cavalry of the two sides fought in the field, only to see countless iron horsemen running wildly, knights wielding scimitars and howling, from time to time shining with swords and blood that made people shudder, and their ears were filled with the roar of wild beasts and the heart-rending howls of people when they were dying.

The fierce cavalry battle lasted only half a quarter of an hour, and Tu Kun led the remnants of the cavalry to break through the encirclement and rush towards Raven Mountain, at this time, there were only more than 30,000 cavalry left behind him, many of them were wounded, and in just half an hour of confrontation, half of the cavalry was lost!

However, the losses on the Guishan side were also quite a few, which should be more than 40,000, and a considerable part of them were infantry, but in any case, this operation of Tu Kun was reckless!

He was not wrong to hope that the enemy's morale would be severely defeated with a surprise attack, but he did not correctly assess the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, which is why he suffered such heavy losses!

Tukun led the remnants of the cavalry to join up with Tyron's 30,000 cavalry, and then returned to the camp in Raven Mountain.

Tuokun exaggerated the results of this battle to everyone. Succeeded in arousing the morale of the soldiers! From this point of view, Tuokun's operation cannot be regarded as a failure!

After the Guishan general Yue Kefeng learned about the battle situation on the front line. He couldn't help but be furious, he felt insulted by the other party. Yue Kefeng immediately ordered Kui Yang and Okai to leave no prisoners once they broke through Crow Mountain!

Before the evening of the same day, Kui Yang and Okai led nearly 300,000 main forces to the foot of Crow Mountain, and then began to build a camp.

That night, the forts of Raven Hill were brightly lit, and half of the defenders were in full array. In case the other party sneaks up on the night, Guishan does have this plan, but seeing that the Crow Mountain side is heavily guarded, he dispelled this idea.

Early the next morning, the 300,000 Guishan army launched a fierce attack on the defensive front of Crow Mountain, and all kinds of siege equipment were pushed out, some similar to those used by the Wei army, and there were many strange things.

Over the next three days, the Kushan army led by Kuiyang and Okai launched a continuous landslide and tsunami-like onslaught on Crow Mountain. Under such an offensive, many forts in the Raven Mountain Mountains were crumbling and precarious.

At the same time that the 300,000 Kushan army stormed the defense line of Raven Mountain, the 100,000 elites led by Singh suddenly launched an attack from the northwest where the defense was empty. broke through Kangju's weak defense line in one go, and then went straight to the king of Kangju.

Kangju had no idea that Guishan would launch an offensive from the Moyu grassland region in the northwest, because it was full of natural traps. It is the grassland of death that people talk about, and those who enter it will lose their bones if they are not careful.

However, everyone in Kangju does not know. The Kushan side had been looking for a way here five years ago, and finally after paying a considerable price. A year ago, they found a safe way through the Death Prairie.

It was through this road that the 100,000 elite led by Singh crossed the impervious steppe of death.

When the king of Kangju got the news, he was in a big uproar, and the panicked people fled outside the city, and the ministers were terrified and didn't know what to do!

"What now? Singh led an army of 100,000 to kill, and we simply don't have the extra strength to stop it! Kangju Prime Minister Lu Yun said with great concern.

The ministers who were already frightened couldn't help but feel even more dispossessed when they heard this.

King Kangju set his eyes on Li Jian, who was the envoy of the Great Wei, and asked anxiously: "Your envoy, I wonder when the army of the Great Wei will be able to enter the battlefield?" ”

Li Jian smiled and said, "The king doesn't have to worry! My Great Wei's general has already led his elite to attack on his flank! ”

Hearing this, King Kangju couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and the ministers who were originally panicked couldn't help but calm down a lot, and King Kangju's uncle Kang Wenrui said confidently: "As long as the Great Wei army attacks Guishan, then the day of Guishan's defeat is not far away!" ”

Many people nodded in agreement, and the current Wei army has become the only hope for Kangju.

However, there was a different voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, why do we have to fight against Kushan? Although Great Wei is strong, it must be thousands of miles away, and the possibility of defeating Guishuang thousands of miles away is very small! We might as well make peace with Kushan! I don't think the Kushan Empire wants to destroy us! ”

It was the minister Shi Yin who spoke, although he was a Kangju person, but he had part of the blood of the Kushan, and he had always advocated submission to the Kushan.

The ministers talked about it a lot, and some people couldn't help but show their intentions.

Seeing this, Shi Yin couldn't help but be secretly happy, and continued: "Although this matter is detrimental to our dignity, it can save my people!" Why don't we? ”

Li Jian didn't speak, he felt that the more he said at the moment, it would only be counterproductive, so let the pro-Great Wei forces within him argue with him.

Kang Wenrui, the uncle of King Kangju, immediately objected, saying, "Based on what Guishan has done to the Eastern Province of Anxi, do you still think that Guishan will treat us exceptionally well? Moreover, our situation at this moment is far worse than the rest of the time! Kushan may be kind to the common people, but all the people here and the king will never be treated well, and after a great war, they must always get enough spoils for the pleasure of the nobles in their country. ”

As soon as Kang Wenrui's words came out, almost everyone present couldn't help but think so, even Shi Yin couldn't find the words to refute it.

Everyone's worries were stronger than before, and they couldn't help but be deeply worried about the situation that Kang Wenrui had predicted.

King Kangju shifted his gaze to Shi Yin's body and asked, "What do you think of Uncle Wang's words?" ”

Shi Yin pondered for a moment and replied: "Although I still adhere to my previous opinion, I have to admit that the prince's words are also very reasonable!" ”

King Kangju looked at Li Jian and said apologetically: "Although we have some different opinions within ourselves, but I, Kangju, am still the staunchest ally of Great Wei, I hope your envoy will not misunderstand!" ”

Li Jian smiled indifferently and said, "The king is serious!" We have always believed that Kangju is a reliable ally of our Great Wei! (To be continued.) )
