When Xiahou Yuan arrived with the iron cavalry, Yue Kefeng had already led most of the men and horses to escape from the fortress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiahou Yuan didn't think about it, and immediately led his iron cavalry to chase him out.

Xiahou Yuan led his iron cavalry to chase down, and soon caught up with the thousands of Guishan troops running behind, and immediately killed them to the point that the corpses were all over the wild ghosts and howling wolves.

"General, the Wei Army's Xuanjia Cavalry has caught up!" One of the generals said urgently.

Yue Kefeng subconsciously glanced behind him, frowned, and looked around.

The place where Yue Kefeng and the others were at this time was the narrowest part of this valley, and it could only accommodate several horses passing side by side.

Yue Kefeng had an idea, and immediately ordered his generals: "Immediately put all the 'divine fires' on the slopes on both sides and ignite them!" ”

The general was taken aback, "General, wouldn't this be going to cause a fire!?" ”

"I'm just going to start a fire! Stop talking nonsense! Just go! ”

"Yes!"

After Xiahou Yuan led 20,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to defeat the thousands of Guishan army, he chased straight into the valley.

It didn't take long for a large force of the enemy to be in sight.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up and roared: "Rush! Don't let them run! ”

However, at this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar on the steep slopes on both sides, and the smoke and dust were all over the sky, and the flames poured into the valley like torrential rain and torrents, and at this time, Xiahou Yuan and more than 100 Xuanjia Iron Riders were under this valley.

In the blink of an eye, Xiahou Yuan and more than a hundred Xuanjia Iron Riders were overwhelmed by the smoke and dust flames.

The soldiers behind were shocked when they saw this, and Han Meng, the general of Xiahou Yuan's department, shouted in shock: "General!! ”

The scene gradually calmed down.

The Xuanjia soldiers stared at the smoke and dust not far away, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Suddenly, a handsome and tall war horse burst out of the smoke and dust in the sky.

The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Xiahou Yuan, he turned out to be fine! It's back with a coat of dust!

"General, you, are you okay?!" Han Meng looked very excited.

Xiahou Yuan laughed, "Just because of this, I won't be able to take my Xiahou Yuan's life!" ”

Then he frowned, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that there are more than 100 brothers!" ”

Xiahou Yuan refers to the more than 100 Xuanjia Iron Horsemen who were also among them at that time, they did not have the courage and martial arts of Xiahou Yuan, and none of them could come out.

Xiahou Yuan glanced not far away, and it was already blocked by many mountain rocks.

"But this month, Kefeng is really cunning enough! Let's go back! ”

Soon after, the lobby of the Lagerman Lodge.

Cao Cao listened to the report and couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, Miao is safe!" Otherwise, I'll be sad! ”

Everyone thought Cao Cao was joking, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Cao ordered: "Transfer the soldiers of the 3,000 Twelfth Legion to clear the passage!" ”

"No!"

Cao Cao glanced at the generals, "All armies are resting, and the real battle is still to come!" ”

"No!" The generals clenched their fists and agreed, and Yuguan withdrew from the lobby.

Cao Cao stood up, walked around the hall, shook his head, and said, "These buildings can't be compared to those in our Central Plains at all!" Although it can be regarded as tall and majestic, the interior is too dark and depressing! ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu nodded thoughtfully, and Xu Chu said proudly: "How can the architecture of the Fanbang barbarians be compared to our Great Wei Empire!" ”

Cao Cao smiled.

Late at night, Cao Cao was still handling official business in the big tent, and the reason why he didn't live in the office was entirely because Cao Cao was not used to the feeling of this kind of building.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were dressed in military uniforms and guarded outside the big tent.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yue Kefeng led nearly 30,000 remnants of the army all the way, and finally arrived at the fortress Mansera, more than 100 miles south of Lagman, two days later.

Located on the south side of the Indus River tributary, Mansella is the only way to enter the hinterland of the East Kushan, and the fortress has two walls, which are extremely majestic and spectacular on the banks of the Yima Pingchuan.

Yue Kefeng led 30,000 remnants of the army into the Mansella Fortress and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The soldiers and people in the fortress had gloomy faces.

At the same time, Yue Duo and Hilpa, who were far away in the Imperial City of Kushan, received an urgent flying pigeon message from Yue Kefeng.

The two almost fainted on the spot after reading the book.

Yueduo roared nervously, "One hundred thousand troops! An army of 100,000! It only lasted less than a day!? How did Yue Kefeng do it! I'm going to kill him! ”

After Yueduo finished going crazy, Hilpa said calmly: "Yueduo is a battlefield veteran!" Lagerman's loss is not his responsibility! ”

"It's not his responsibility, is it my responsibility!?"

Shirpa frowned, "Your Majesty, please stop being angry!" Getting angry doesn't help solve the problem! ”

Yueduo barely managed to calm himself down, "What do you say we should do?" If it goes on like this, within half a month, the Wei army will be in the city! ”

Yueduo's face was a little pale. Rather than lose everything under the attack of the Wei army, he would rather be a loyal servant of the Wei Empire.

Shirpa saw the wavering in Yue Duo's heart, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think that now that you are bowing down to the Wei Empire and Cao Cao, he will forgive you for your previous betrayal?" Think of past examples! Which traitor received his mercy? ”

Yueduo frowned, a look of frustration and confusion on her face.

Shilpa continued: "Now we have no way back! Gotta stick with it! ”

Yue Duo smiled bitterly and sighed, "Persistence? That's easy to say! The Wei army captured the Lagerman fortress in less than a day! How many days will Mancella and Tancha keep Luo at bay? ”

Hilpa analyzed: "The main reason why Lagerman lost was that we were not prepared for the power of his firearms! Before that, we had only heard of the Shenwei Cannon, and at that time we thought that the legend about the Shenwei Cannon was nothing more than a rumor, but this was not the case! Mansella is on the south bank of the river, and the river is open, the Wei army cannot bombard Mansella on the opposite bank, if they want to bombard the city wall, they must first cross the river, this is our best chance to resist the Wei army! ”

Shilpa's face has a determined look.

Yue Duo asked, "You mean, do your best to resist the Wei army's river-crossing troops on the riverbank?" ”

Hilpa nodded, "That's all!" If so, then Mansella can hold it, and the entire northern front can hold it! Otherwise Mansella will be in danger, and there is a possibility that the Northern Front will collapse! ”

Yue Duo pondered for a moment and nodded, "You're right! It seems that this is the only way to go! By the way, did Dawan and my brother reply? ”

Hilpa shook her head and frowned, "Don't expect too much from them!" Even the Jin Kingdom and the Romans will not interfere at this time, let alone them! ”

Yue Duo frowned, "Hmph! It's not so easy to be alone! The messenger told the king of Dawan that I, Guishuang, responded to his call to raise troops against Wei, and if he stayed out of the matter, I would announce the agreement signed with him to the world! ”

Hilpa was stunned for a moment and smiled, "That's a good idea!" So he couldn't stay still! I'll do it right away! ”

After Hilpa left, Moonor summoned the herald and ordered him to immediately transfer the 100,000 new troops assembled near the royal city to Mansella.

A few days later, the Wei army of more than 300,000 troops arrived on the north bank of the Indus River, set up a joint camp, and confronted Mansera.

Cao Cao rode his horse to the high post by the river, and wanted to look at the Mansella fortress on the other side of the river, at this time the river was foggy, and the majestic Mansella fortress loomed, like a mirage.

"I didn't expect there to be such scenery in a foreign land!" Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but admire.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan and said with a smile: "Although it is beautiful, it is a difficult bone to gnaw!" ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded sympathetically.

Dian Wei said: "What's so hard to bite? We have so many catapults! Round after round, they don't need us to fight, and they are scared! ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Dian Wei, what you think is too simple!" ”

Pointing to the wide Indus River in front of him, "This river is very open!" The catapult can't hit it at all, and neither can the Shenwei cannon! ”

"Is that so? So what to do? ”

Cao Cao pondered: "You can only use conventional methods to seize the beachhead first, and then attack the Mansella Fortress!" ”

Turning his head and glancing at Xiahou Yuan beside him, Xiahou Yuan looked at the Mansella Fortress across the Indus River, stroking his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Zilian!"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Hong responded with a fist.

"The battle to attack the beachhead is up to you! Is there a problem? ”

"No problem! The end will not be dishonored! ”

Cao Cao nodded and glanced towards the Mansella Fortress, "I don't give you a time limit, but you should understand that time is important to us!" ”

"Yes! The end will understand! ”

On that day, the officers and men of each battalion rushed to make bamboo rafts and wooden rafts and other equipment for crossing the river, and went to the surrounding area to collect boats.

By noon the next day, the Wei army had the tools to cross the river at the same time with 15,000 men and horses.

Cao Cao and his generals once again climbed the high post by the river, and found that there were many more camps and defensive fences on the opposite bank, and horses were rejected.

Cao Cao said: "It seems that they have realized the key to this battle!" I'm afraid the battle to cross the river will not be easy! Zilian, don't be careless! "No!"

"Your Majesty, can you attack?" Cao Hong clenched his fists and asked.

Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Hong's eyes lit up, and he saluted Cao Cao, "The last general will retire!" Then he mounted his horse and galloped down the hill.

A moment later, the war drums of the Wei army sounded loudly, and the soldiers of the 5,000th Twelfth Army boarded the bamboo raft and wooden platoon.

They slowly sailed from the shore towards the opposite shore, with dozens of people on each raft, and the tower shield hand and sword shield hand were in the front, which was to resist the opponent's arrows.

It took a quarter of an hour for the 5,000 Wei troops to reach a place close to the riverbank. The shore was crowded with people, and countless Kushan troops were hurriedly arranging defenses, and the front appeared to be very tight.

A puff of arrows suddenly flew from the shore, and then crackled down in the middle of the Wei army. (To be continued.) )
