This is just like the actual combat confrontation exercises in peacetime, which is commonplace for the Han army.

The 1st Garrison Division of the Western Regions, which had the weakest combat strength, was mixed with the troops of the 3rd Division and the 1st Rong Division, and the flintlock pistols they usually used had been replaced with breech-loading rifles, and they had been specially trained for three days.

At the beginning of the decisive battle, the Han army sent a large number of scouts, all of whom wore camouflage uniforms, and were very hidden in the overgrown plains and hills.

Lü Bu chose a higher hill, set up camp, the artillery began to level the position, and after the logistics soldiers gathered the ammunition, they turned into sappers and began to dig fortifications.

Lü Bu's guard regiment also dismounted and became sappers and built fortifications together.

There were other divisions, especially the 3rd Division, which was the old mountain infantry division of the Wehrmacht, and for them this hilly terrain was like a fish in water.

Therefore, in the eyes of the viewing group, as soon as the Han army entered the battlefield, except for a few scouts, who quickly disappeared, everyone else began to dig trenches, and everyone had a shovel.

The head of the Guishan Supervision and Observation Regiment was Suote, and as soon as he saw the Han army digging fortifications, he felt a headache, and it seemed that the Han army wanted to defend first, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

He knew what kind of character his Majesty the King was, and he would definitely be in a hurry to attack and eat the other party in one bite, and it seemed that Lu Bu also knew this situation very well.

It's a pity that the viewing groups can't give a message to either side of the battlefield, and the viewing groups on both sides are supervising each other.

After King Bo Tiao entered the battlefield, he also followed the rules, discharged the standard marching formation of the avant-garde, the middle army, and the rearguard, and advanced in the direction of the Han army, and also sent Guishan's scout team in front.

Scouts from both sides soon encountered each other on the battlefield, and skirmishes continued to occur.

The reconnaissance battalions of the 1st and 3rd Divisions of the Rong Division were all veteran scouts, and they were all familiar with these operations.

Moreover, the scouts of the Han army have a complete set of theoretical foundations and training subjects, which are much more professional than the scouts of the Kushan Empire, and this camouflage uniform alone has a huge effect.

The scouts of Guishan wore the same khaki military uniform as the ordinary soldiers, which was much more conspicuous than the camouflage uniform, and it was often the Han army who discovered the other party first.

The marksmanship is also much better than that of the Han army, and the range of the Han army's rifles is much longer.

After several battles, except for the middle direction that the Han army deliberately let go, the Guishan scouts on the left and right flanks were basically wiped out.

Therefore, the king of Bo Tiao only received one news, that is, in the middle of the battlefield, thirty miles away, the Han army was building a defensive position, occupying a small hill, and their artillery unit should be there.

Although Bo Tiao knew that the Han army was good at defense and positional warfare, the scale of the battlefield was limited, and if he didn't attack, would he wait for the Han army to attack?

I don't know when I have to wait, besides, the longer the time drags on, the more complete the fortifications that Lu Bu dug, and the more difficult it will be to attack by himself.

Therefore, Bo ordered the whole army to advance to the Han position, and the artillery team followed the rearguard corps.

This information was immediately obtained by Lu Bu, and the Han army specially trained some military dogs for short-distance communication on the battlefield, which was much faster than a human run.

Lu Bu immediately sent his guard group, but instead of wearing heavy armor, it was just pretending to show the other party, but wearing light leather armor.

His current head of the guard is Dian Wei's son Dian Man, this kid is not as brave and resourceless as his father, but a talent of both civil and military types.

The Han army now has complete control over the intelligence power on the battlefield, and the Kushan Empire can only see the information that the Han army wants them to see.

Therefore, in the eyes of the viewing group, a Han cavalry quietly set off from the rear of the Han army's position, and all the cavalry lay on horseback, far away from the scouts of the Kushan army.

Seeing that this situation turned out to be around the rear of the Kushan Army, although the length and width of the battlefield were only fifty miles, if you advance around the edge of the battlefield, it would still be out of the sight of the Kushan soldiers, after all, everyone is a plain, and it is impossible to see dozens of miles.

Suo Te couldn't help but raise his heart, the Han army has always been scheming, and he doesn't know what kind of moth this Lu Bu is going to play.

However, he was a bystander, but His Majesty was still a fan of the authorities, and he was only urging his subordinates to move forward quickly and launch an attack as soon as possible, so that the fortifications of the Han army would not be so perfect.

However, the Kushan Legion are all heavy infantry, even if they trot forward, the speed is not much faster, but it is a great drain on their physical strength, the sun in Central Asia is still relatively scorching, although it is not summer, the temperature is still not low.

Just as Sauter was worried about his king, a herald rushed up the hill and beckoned to him, signaling that a secret message was to be handed to him.

Sauter frowned and walked over, and the herald pulled out a small note, which was the original copy of the Pigeon's Story.

Sauter struggled to read the handwriting on the note, and it turned out to be an urgent military message from the city of Maracanda, saying that a Han cavalry had entered the territory of the Sogdian province and attacked the city, causing a lot of trouble.

According to the preliminary reconnaissance results, this Han army had at least more than 100,000 cavalry, and the banner of the reconnaissance seemed to be led by Ma Chao.

They captured several important towns in the Sogdian provinces, and they captured and burned a lot of logistical supplies.

And instead of attacking the heavily defended city of Maracanda, they turned south, showing signs of attacking Kunduz, Kabul, and even the imperial capital of Peshawar.

The city of Marakanda has sent a warning to the other provinces of the empire, but the defenses of the provinces in the interior of the empire are relatively empty, and the army has been transferred to the front line of Khorasan by the king of Bodiao, and the rear is empty!

Sauter was also very anxious, but according to the rules of the decisive battle, before the end of the decisive battle, neither party was allowed to contact the outside world to avoid cheating, and the viewing groups of both sides supervised each other.

The Imperial Minister's Governor was Archisillus, the Left Minister of the Empire, a mixture of Kushan and Greek descendants, whose family had dominated the Kushan dynasty for decades and assisted three generations of Kushan kings.

However, he is considered a civilian official, and he does not have much military power, and although he is in charge of the country, he can't mobilize many troops.

After the accession of King Botuo, the power of the Kushan Empire was concentrated in the hands of the monarch for an unprecedented time, and the centralized system reached its peak.

He did not appoint the crown prince as the person who supervised the country, even if he led a large army to fight, he still held all the military power to the death.

As the number one general of His Majesty in the Kushan army, Sauter still has the courage and power to be arbitrary.

Unable to mobilize other troops, he sent his deputy, Osidmos, to lead the twelve divisions of the forward corps under his command, and hurried back to Peshawar.

In any case, the emperor has no room for error, and as for the Han army's destruction of other places, just turn a blind eye!
