After the Han army landed, they quickly advanced to the city wall, only to find that the Guishan's army had withdrawn from the city, and the whole city was in an undefended state.

The landing marines fired green flares, two transports were the first to dock, and an engineer regiment was the first to land, and they immediately began the work of urgently erecting the trestle.

Immediately after that, one transport ship after another berthed and sent the marines to the dock.

Lu Su also landed in the first batch of transport ships, and after confirming that the Kushan army had withdrawn from Minagara, he used the former governor's palace as the temporary headquarters of the landing force and began to establish a defensive line.

Due to the ready-made piers and trestle bridges, the Han army landed quickly, and in just one day and one night, the three combat divisions of the Marine Corps successfully landed.

The three divisions belonged to reconnaissance battalions, and they had already mounted their horses and searched the surrounding area.

Lu Su also liaised with intelligence officers from the Ministry of Intelligence in the Minaggara area, who were responsible for relaying the news of the Han army's landing to the Han army headquarters outside Peshawar.

The news of the arrival of the navy made the whole Han army rejoice, extremely proud, and added more courage.

The Han army began a general assault on Peshawar, and hundreds of artillery pieces began to bombard the walls of Peshawar in turn.

The artillery attack brought great losses to the city defense of Peshawar, and the most important thing was the unilateral killing, which was difficult for the Kushan people to accept.

After two days of artillery preparations, the Han army began to attack the city in earnest, still using the tried and tested method of trench warfare.

The performance advantage of Han rifles is most obvious when used as fire cover during sieges, and they can be very safe to suppress the defenders of the city head out of range.

There were only a small number of rifled guns in the Kushan army that could shoot at the Han army, but the number was scarce, and they became the priority of the Han army's snipers.

Tens of thousands of brave men became the first wave of siege warriors, and the Han army simultaneously launched an attack on three walls of Peshawar.

At the initial stage of the attack, they did not encounter any resistance, and they moved through the trenches to a distance of only two hundred zhang from the city walls before launching a final attack.

However, when they all crossed the trenches and began to charge, suddenly the city of Peshawar heard the rumbling sound of cannons, and a large number of shells poured down from the city.

That's how Sauter came up with it, and he built bunkers out of sandbags at the head of the city, hiding hundreds of cannons.

Waiting for the moment when the Han army jumped out of the trench and launched a charge, only a sudden attack at this time could cause the greatest casualties to the Han army.

The reaction of the Han army was naturally very fast, and the infantry who were bombarded lay down on the spot, and those who were close to the trench immediately climbed back, and those who were close to the city wall continued to charge, and under the city wall were shooting dead ends.

The mortar group, which had not been used by the Han army before, immediately began to shoot accurately, and the field artillery also began to extend its firing, cooperating with mortars to suppress the artillery fire of the Kushan army on the head of the city.

The Kushan artillery, which revealed its position, was soon hit by a retaliatory blow from the Han army, and the accuracy of the mortar was much more accurate than that of the field artillery, and it was difficult to resist falling from the direction of the head.

The Kushan army tried to attack the mortar positions with artillery, but the Han artillery, which was several times their number, suppressed them to the death.

Before they could calibrate the artillery positions of the Han army, dozens of artillery pieces had already been blown to scrap metal.

The Han army had already rushed to the foot of the city wall, and the cloud ladder erected the head of the city of Peshawar, but the city wall of Peshawar was also very tall, more than 12 zhang, and the attack on the head of the city was not smooth.

At the same time that the Han artillery stopped firing for fear of accidental injury, the Kushan infantry, who had been on standby in the Tibetan cave for a long time, rushed to the top of the city and fiercely greeted the Han army on the ladder with muskets and grenades.

Relying on the tall city walls, the Kushan army successfully withstood the attack of the Han army on the first day.

In the royal palace of Peshawar, above the resplendent Great Hall, the lights are not as bright as they used to be.

The king of Porton sat on his throne and looked to the side with a sad face, and on the chair sat the prime minister of the empire who had escaped the death of Minagara.

He entered Peshawar through a secret passage that connected him to the outside of the city.

He reported to the king of the Portune about the experience of this mission to the Indians, and bribed the king and the prime minister of the Indians with a large amount of treasure he had brought with him, and succeeded in bringing in 150,000 reinforcements from the Indians.

Moreover, he and the forward army of 30,000 Indians returned to Minaggara by sea in advance, but did not want to encounter the powerful Han naval fleet in the port of Minagara.

The navy of the Han Dynasty not only had a large number of sailing ships, but also a huge number of artillery pieces.

There are dozens of artillery pieces on each side of the warship, and dozens of warships are hundreds of guns, and I am afraid that the naval forces of any country along the entire Indian Ocean coast are not opponents, and they are not opponents combined.

They easily sank all the Kushan and Indian warships and transports, wiped out all the Indian reinforcements, and did not have time to escape to the docks.

Governor Rudradaman of Minagara, despite his stubborn resistance, the Han army landed directly from the dock and landed tens of thousands of infantry.

Without a city wall to rely on, the Kushan army had no choice but to withdraw from the city of Minagara, retreat to the second largest city, and hold the key pass between the interior and Minagara.

Fortunately, the Indians kept their promise, and the rest of their reinforcements were advancing overland towards Peshawar, but the Indian army was a cold-armed army, they had no firearms, and they didn't know how useful they were.

When the king heard this, he was not happy, the strength of the Han people extended from the land to the sea, and they were able to sail here from thousands of miles away, and the world was so big, they were so big that they could go to everything.

The wave is now full of powerlessness, and the reinforcements of the Indians, hey, it's a joke, it's better than nothing.

Although he had already sent secret envoys and reached an alliance with the Romans in the far west to deal with the Han and the Sabbatarians, but now that the Han Dynasty had come to the city, the Romans couldn't even get a sabbath empire at sunset, so how could they save themselves?

The current reality is that surrender is death, and perseverance is death, and he can only burn the jade of Peshawar City, but he didn't expect that he would become the king of the Kushan Empire.

Recalling that when he first ascended the throne, he was full of ambition and heroism, and felt that he was the master of the world, and he had an invincible army, but he didn't expect to hit a wall here with the Han people twice.

Guishan also has a proverb that a wise man should not be struck twice by the same lightning, and it is too late to regret it.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Osidmos did not mention it to Bo Tiao, "Your Majesty, the number of troops defending the city is insufficient now, whether to integrate the remnants of the troops brought back by Prince Mags into the team of defending the city wall, 50,000 people can't afford to eat, it's too cheap for them." ”
