Both sides were busy all night, and just carrying the corpses under the city cost Sauter a lot of manpower.

He also knew that although his subordinates were not afraid of death, it was the common wish of everyone to be buried in the ground or cremated into ashes and brought back to their hometown, and no one wanted to die in a foreign country.

Since the Han army carried forward the spirit of humanitarianism or chivalry, it was also happy to cooperate.

After dawn, the scouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army came one after another, which meant that the army was not far away.

Soon the messenger of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came, praising Knight for his good vanguard work, which greatly consumed the strength of the Han army and forced the Han army to show all their strength.

The crown prince ordered Thort not to rush to attack today, and wait for his army to arrive.

At noon, the scouts came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army had arrived.

Sauter immediately took all his cavalry out of the camp and went south to meet him for ten miles.

After waiting for half an hour, I finally saw the billowing smoke and dust raised in the distance, and heard the sound of various horns one after another.

The Kushan Empire has too many armies in different provinces, and each provincial legion has its own unique horn sound.

The first thing that catches your eye is the cavalry that spreads all over the mountains, all of them are wearing armor that wraps around the whole body, similar to the armored cavalry under Sauter, but there is no collar around the neck, and the lower edge of the helmet grows out of the lower edge, which also serves to protect the neck.

Each of them held a spear in one hand and a reins in the other, and carried a triangular shield on his back, and a cloak of black or white, fluttering in the wind.

Of course, Sot recognized that this was the Persian cavalry from the Viceroyalty of Khorasan, and they were not good-looking, but really powerful.

Looking at this number, I am afraid that there must be 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is probably the largest number that the Governor of Khorasan can dispatch.

These Khorasan cavalry sprinted until the Sauter's team was a stone's throw away, and then stopped the charging posture and arrogantly spread out to the sides, looking at these Kushan cavalry under Saute with provocative eyes.

All areas rich in cavalry have this problem, and they always feel that they are the best in the world.

Behind the Khorasan cavalry came the cavalry, the cavalry of the brigade, this time the same Kushan archers and armored ironclad cavalry as Soth's men.

They came from the Rawalpindi Legion and the Jehrum Legion, both of which were famous for producing cavalry.

The military system of the Kushan Empire, the standard establishment of a provincial corps is three divisions, each with 15,000 men.

These provincial legions, which were dominated by the Kushan people, were actually the standing army of the Kushan Empire, relying on them for foreign conquests and suppression of domestic hostile forces.

Behind the Kushan cavalry of the two provinces, a large convoy appeared.

One of the most conspicuous and striking is a super-massive carriage whose carriage is literally a moving palace.

The exterior is splendid, and the inside is extremely luxurious, inlaid with gold and jade.

Yes, this is a palace, and its name is the Palace of the Sun.

Of course, Sauter knew its origin, the Sun Palace was originally the royal car of His Majesty the King of the Kushan Empire, and the carriage was pulled by sixteen white horses with snow-white bodies and no stray hair.

This time, the crown prince of Bo Tiao is on behalf of His Majesty the King, so he is eligible to use the king's car.

And around this luxurious royal chariot, there were tens of thousands of equally extravagant cavalrymen wearing golden armor, the same full-body armor as the mounted cavalry, all golden, and even the armor of the war horses was golden.

Of course, these armors will not be made of pure gold, but they are all painted with gold dust, and it costs a lot to build such an army.

They are the royal guards, known as the first combat force of the Kushan Empire, with a full army of 60,000 people. Prince Bo Tiao brought two divisions of 40,000 men.

Behind the royal chariot appeared a group of behemoths, taller than camels, with four legs as thick as pillars in a palace, and a long snout flicking around.

Ha, it was the army of war elephants from the Western Viceroyalty and the province of Sakota, hundreds of war elephants, all wearing simple armor, with heavy steps, the earth shook the mountains.

On the back of each elephant were three thin soldiers, and on the head of the elephant was the man who drove the elephant, who was armed with a throwing spear, because he relied more on his feet to control the direction of the elephant's advance.

Behind him were two samurai in half-armor, one an archer and one a spearman, who were responsible for long-range and close attacks, respectively.

These hundreds of war elephants come from two provinces in the northwest of the Indian continent, and although their ancestors were defeated by the Kushan cavalry, they still regard the mighty and defensive war elephants as the patron saints of their people.

How could the prince of Botuo, who likes to show off his strength, miss this big baby to give him a long face!

Behind the war elephants came armies from various provinces, marching in long formations in legions.

There were fierce and aggressive Kshatriya warriors from Gandhara and Gshashira, with their peculiar hairstyles and painted faces, exuding a fierce aura.

There were Scythian cavalry from the western governorate, and their combat power was comparable to that of the Khorasan cavalry and the Kushan cavalry, and no one was submissive!

There was also a fully re-replenished Bactrian infantry corps, which was still led by Osidmus, but this time not fifteen thousand, but forty-five thousand.

The Parthian cavalry of Sistan from the Iranian plateau is also a mixed descendant of the Greeks and Persians.

The archers of the province of Modala are skilled in archery, and there are many hunters.

The hoplites of the wealthy Minagara, who were built with great expense, were armed with large shields and spears, and had a bit of the flavor of their ancestors, the Spartans.

There were also armored crossbowmen from the imperial capital of Peshawar, and many more bizarre legions, all sorted, as if they were conducting a military parade, and perhaps in the eyes of the prince of Botuo, this was a military parade.

Prince Bo Tiao received Sote in the Sun Palace, affirmed his achievements, and also listened to his introduction to the Han army's combat strength, weapons and equipment, and tactical play, and the commanders of the provincial legions listened on both sides.

Although these things were also reported in detail in the battle report, they were more clearly explained in person.

Hearing Thoth's frequent mention of firearms, as well as mortars, grenades, and repeaters whose names Soter did not know, Prince Bo was intrigued.

He sternly reprimanded the Minister of the Interior who was standing aside and was responsible for collecting intelligence on the Han army, why didn't he have such important information?

The Minister of the Interior hurriedly defended himself, which was nothing more than that the two great empires did not border each other before, so there was less information about each other.

However, the Minister of the Interior hurriedly presented the treasure and reported the latest information he had about the Han Empire, and many of the sources came from Kangju's caravans.
