In particular, these servant armies grew up in the myth of Lu Bu's invincibility since childhood, and they are all exposed to the legendary stories of how Lu Bu defeated the Northern Xiongnu and how he defeated Da Xianbei.

The officers of the Han army said that the food they ate, the armor they worn, the sabers they carried, and the horses they rode were all rewarded by His Majesty Lu Bu, so they had to die for His Majesty Lu Bu.

So what an honorable thing to have the opportunity to follow their god of war to fight against those aliens who dare to disobey the will of the god!

In addition to these three servant corps, there were the 2nd, 6th, 10th, 18th, 1st Infantry Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 7th Cavalry Division, 9th Cavalry Division, and 11th Cavalry Division.

These two waves of reinforcements alone brought the Han army to 22 divisions, plus 3 servant armies, to 400,000 men, and with the allied forces of Kangju, Khorezm, Khorasan and Sistan, the total number reached 600,000.

On the Mashhad front, Sot and Osidmos were still at a loss as to the number of reinforcements from the Han army.

They only discovered that the first reinforcements of the Han army and the Central Asian allies had arrived faster than expected, and their King had not yet left Peshawar.

The fastest reinforcements were still a day's way from Khorasan, and all they could do now was strengthen their defenses and pray that the Han army would not attack.

It's a pity, praying that this thing is always good and not bad, as soon as the reinforcements of the Han army arrived, Ma Chao immediately launched a counterattack.

The Han army's artillery was much larger than that of the Kushan army, and the firing range was long, and when the Kushan built the camp, they only knew how to dig trenches, but they did not know how to build fortifications.

Therefore, the artillery preparation of the Han army had already caused heavy casualties to the Kushan people, and Sote and Osidemos had to organize their subordinates to retreat one by one, but fortunately they still knew how to cover each other.

When the Han army saw that the Kushan people began to retreat, they dispatched cavalry units and cavalry of the allied forces of Central Asian countries, and more than 100,000 cavalry overwhelmingly rushed to the retreating Kushan army.

The Han army, which had a clear advantage in numbers, continued to attack the Kushan army, and the Guishan infantry could only occupy a few small hills and hold on condescendingly, while the Guishan cavalry rushed to break through and look for reinforcements.

The four divisions of Guishan were surrounded by a few small hills within a radius of several miles, but fortunately they firmly protected their artillery, and with the support of artillery, the cavalry of the Han army and Central Asian countries did not charge regardless of casualties.

Instead, it relied on the Han army's infantry to advance step by step, and the battle for each hill was one hill after another.

Osidemos was among these encircled Kushan legions, and he commanded the Kushan infantry to resist the onslaught of the Han army.

Before Soth's cavalry broke through, half of the muskets were left to him, which also made Osidmoth's men almost have one, and they have a little more confidence to persevere.

After these exchanges, Osidemos still believes in the character of Sauter, who is a rare handsome talent among the generals of the Kushan clan, and is also one of the few trustworthy Kushan nobles.

And he knew that his reinforcements were not far away, and it was only a day's journey, and Soter would definitely bring reinforcements to rescue him.

Fortunately, these small hills in Khorasan have a lot of stones to cover themselves, and the Kushans have not yet learned to dig fortifications and trenches.

And with the cover of stones, the Kushans could put the Han army within their range before shooting, not to mention that their large shields could also provide defense, and the long range advantage of the Han army's rifles offset a lot.

The field artillery of the Han army was limited by the angle of fire, which was not suitable for attacking the mountain, and there was no other commanding height around it except for the hill occupied by the Kushan people, so it could only rely on the support of mortar fire.

Hold on until dark, the Han army stopped the offensive, but still surrounded the Kushan people, but because they attacked for a day and were relatively tired, they did not dig the trench around the hill occupied by the Kushan people according to the requirements of the order.

Because they felt that the mountains were full of Kushan infantry, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to.

In the middle of the night, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded around the Han army's camp, and the hastily dug trenches around the camp were quickly filled with sandbags.

It was rare that there was no scout from the Han army to warn in advance, and the Guishan people touched the camp.

Fortunately, there was also a hidden post of the Han army lurking in front of the camp, and they sent a red signal flare into the air and blew an emergency whistle.

The Han army and the armies of Central Asian countries rushed out of the camp tents one after another, some rushing to their mounts, others wearing armor.

The Han army has now basically abolished the armor of the infantry units, only the cavalry still wears light armor, and the infantry has been replaced with composite leather armor, which can be called the original version of body armor.

It can effectively protect against long-range arrows and shotguns, and deal with long-range attacks of crossbows and flintlock pistols, as well as a good protective effect, and it is a lot lighter, and the helmet is a second-generation helmet, which is closer to the style of the German helmet, with two more ear guards and a circle of neck guards.

The one who came to sneak attack was Sauter, who had fled before, and he met the first reinforcements on the way, four infantry divisions and four cavalry divisions.

He directly requisitioned four cavalry divisions, plus his two cavalry divisions, and killed them together.

He also insisted on waiting until midnight before he began to break through, and sent a large number of scouts in advance to kill some of the Han troops on the periphery and the traveling sentinels of the Central Asian Allied forces.

And a large number of sandbags were prepared to fill the trench outside the Han army camp, which was not deep, so it was quickly filled.

Taking advantage of the night, the Kushan cavalry launched a charge at close range, rushed into the Han army camp through several camp gates, and fought with the Han army who were in a hurry.

The Kushan cavalry was also equipped with muskets and sabers, and the Han cavalry was also equipped with the same configuration, and the two sides were evenly matched in close combat.

On the contrary, the Central Asian cavalry, some of whom also used spears, had the upper hand in close combat.

While the two sides were fighting, Osidmus, who was surrounded on the hill, also launched a breakthrough as agreed, and he sent his own reserved Herat cavalry, with 5,000 camels, to rush down the hill.

On the side of the mountain, the Han army did not dig a trench, giving these big guys an opportunity to take advantage of, and they stormed the camp of the Han army fiercely.

Even if the Han army fired accurately with rifles, these big camels were obviously much more resistant to beating than war horses, not to mention that they were also wearing light armor and easily rushed into the Han army camp.

Relying on these camel cavalry to open the way, Osidmos led the Kushan infantry to break through, destroying the artillery that could not be taken away.

And in this night battle and melee, the excellent performance of the Han rifle was greatly limited, both sides had grenades, close attacks, and no one could suppress anyone.

The Kushan infantry reinforcements following the cavalry also entered the battle one after another, and the entire Han army camp was in chaos.
