Chapter 1357: The City of Kokir

Caracalla frowned and nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info pondered for a moment and asked, "How do we deal with it?" ”

Thomas was embarrassed, "If you intervene now, the result is unpredictable; If we don't intervene, I'm afraid that Guishan will perish in a blink of an eye, which is not good for us! It's hard to choose! ”

Caracalla asked, "Is there any news from the Jin side?" ”

Thomas shook his head, "No! In my opinion, they think the same way as we do! ”

Karakala pondered for a moment and asked, "What would be the worst outcome if we sent troops?" ”

Thomas thought for a moment and replied, "The worst outcome is that we will go to war with the Wei people, and the Jin people and others will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Of course, with the wisdom of Queen Slan, it shouldn't be like this! But the outcome of the war is really unpredictable! ”

Caracalla hesitated for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and ordered: "Tell Seth, get ready for battle!" At the same time, the four corps stationed in Macedonia were ordered to immediately reinforce the Eastern Front! ”

Thomas was taken aback, "Your Majesty wants to send troops?" ”

Caracalla shook his head, "No! Wait! ”

Turn your gaze to the Dawan Palace.

King Dawan looked at the official document in his hand, and couldn't help but be angry and helpless.

This is the letter of state submitted by the Kushan side.

King Dawan glanced at the Guishan envoy standing under His Royal Highness, shook the national letter in his hand, and asked in a cold voice, "What does this mean?" ”

The envoy said without humility or arrogance: "It has been said very clearly! If the king does not send troops according to the covenant, then we will have no choice but to do so! ”

King Dawan was so angry that he wanted to kill the envoy in front of him, but then he calmed down and said coldly: "You tell Yue Duo that I will send troops according to the agreement!" ”

The envoy's eyes clearly flashed with excitement, and he saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he retreated.

"King, do we really send troops?" Wan Xiang asked urgently.

King Dawan said in a deep voice: "Do we still have a choice?" Good Yueduo, you actually gave me this trick! ”

"My lord, what did he say in his letter?" Wanxiang asked curiously.

King Dawan threw the letter of state to Wanxiang, Wanxiang hurriedly read it, was stunned, and scolded angrily: "This bastard! It's a hand! ”

King Dawan snorted coldly, "This hand just hit our soft underbelly!" We simply can't choose! Hey, I didn't expect things to come to this point! ”

"Wanxiang, you immediately summon Moko and them here!"

"Yes!" Wan Xiang promised to retreat.

Mo Ke and other generals belonged to the cronies of King Dawan, and these generals were very hostile to the Wei army and loyal to King Dawan. In addition to these generals, there are some generals above the Dawan court, but these generals are basically used to being a vassal of the Great Wei Empire.

King Dawan and his cronies discussed in the backyard of the palace for more than an hour, and then the generals left the palace and prepared according to King Dawan's instructions.

Soon after, the Wei Empire's Jinyi Wei secret agents lurking in Dawan obtained an extremely important piece of information.

Let's turn our attention to the western front of Kushan.

The tragic siege battle has lasted for five days, and there is wolf smoke everywhere, the remains of siege equipment everywhere, and corpses are strewn everywhere. During the five-day siege, the Wei army paid a considerable price, with nearly 15,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and the casualties of the Kushan defenders were no less than that.

The war drums of the Wei army sounded loudly again.

The tired Kushan army on the city wall was startled, and looked out of the city, only to see a black wave sweeping in again. The officers shouted at the top of their voices, and the soldiers hurried to prepare for battle.

The Wei army's catapults smashed into the fortress overwhelmingly, and only stumps and broken arms were seen in the dust.

The bombardment lasted a full quarter of an hour, and then the Wei siege forces rushed towards the city walls.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of both sides were engaged in a terrible melee on the city wall, and the Kushan army at this time behaved quite stubbornly, while the attacking Wei army was not the same as the situation on the northern front, they seemed to be easily discouraged, and often retreated after the attack was frustrated. This situation is not surprising, because the attacking Wei army is mainly an army of the so-called expeditionary force, which is not in the regular establishment of the Wei army at all, and its combat strength is very limited, comparable to the Kushan army. What is more strange is that Sun Ce did not let the more powerful Flying Tiger Army participate in the attack, and the same was true for the previous five days.

Maybe Sun Ce is planning something!

Sun Ce looked at the battle in front of him, couldn't help but shake his head, and asked a general beside him, "Is there any news of General Tai Shici?" ”

The general replied: "Not yet! ”

Sun Ce frowned, "According to the time, there should be news!?" I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At the same time that the Wei army stormed the fortress, another Wei army arrived at a small village more than two hundred miles to the southeast. There is a city more than ten miles south of this village, Kojir, Kojir is the most important city in the southwest of East Kushan, although it is on the border, but the Kushan people are not too worried about its safety, because the west of the city is a death swamp, and generally no army can pass through here.

The Wei army gathered hundreds of men, women, and children in the village into custody in a small courtyard. The people were terrified, and the husband hugged his wife tightly and the mother hugged her children tightly.

In the largest mansion in the middle of the village, Tai Shi Ci was discussing with several generals around the marching map.

Tai Shi Ci pointed to Ko Jia on the map, "This is Ko Jia Er City, the most important city in the southwest of Kushan!" It's not clear what happens in the city at the moment! But I don't think there are many defenders in the city! The army rested for a while, and as soon as the scouts returned, they attacked! Is there a problem? ”

The generals shook their heads.

A moment later, the scout returned, bringing back the not-so-very good news that the four gates of Cocher were closed, and it was supposed that the gates should not be closed at this time.

"General, will we be discovered?" One of the generals asked with some concern.

Tai Shi Ci frowned, "Pass the order, and the armies will rest here for a while!" The cavalry is on standby! ”

"No!"

Look to the city of Kojir.

It was business as usual in the city, and the people were still going about their lives as usual, some of them with worries on their faces, but they were worried about the fighting in the western fortress and on the northern front.

The four gates were closed, and there were more soldiers at the gates than usual, but not much had changed, and some of the people were shouting at the gates, as if they wanted to get out of the city.

Night fell, and the sentries on the gates gathered together to gossip.

Suddenly, a sentry stood up and looked out of the city.

The companion asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

The sentry frowned, "I seem to hear movement outside the city!?" ”

Another sentry laughed, "I think you're too nervous!" Rest assured! To the west of us is a death swamp with a radius of 100 miles, and the Wei army should not think of coming over unless it has wings! ”

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly climbed up from the outer wall of the city wall. Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, they were all knocked to the ground, their eyes wide open, and they were all dazed, and they probably didn't know who these black shadows were until they died.

Immediately, the city gate was opened, and tens of thousands of Wei troops rushed in, with the sound of footsteps rumbling and no one speaking.

A man who got up in the middle of the night to pee yawned and walked to his backyard, and suddenly saw countless black-clad and black-armored armies outside the fence surging towards the city, with a murderous appearance, like a devil in the reflection of this night.

He was stunned for a moment, and noticed that the armor worn by those troops was obviously the appearance of the Wei army, and his heart shrank suddenly, and his mouth was wide open. When he came back to his senses, he crawled to the house and ran towards the house.

When the wife saw that her husband looked like a ghost, she asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The husband was startled and hurriedly threw himself on the bed and covered his wife's mouth.

The wife thought that her husband wanted a different kind of fun, so she glared at her husband angrily.

The husband lowered his voice and said with a pale face: "Wei, Wei Jun!" Swallowing his saliva, "I saw Wei Jun!" ”

The wife was stunned, "Are you dreaming?" ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting outside.

The two were startled, and his wife's face turned pale.

The Wei army suddenly stormed the city and the military camp, and the unsuspecting Kushan army lost the ability to resist in an instant. The battle lasted less than two quarters of an hour before it ended, and almost all of the Kushan army were taken prisoner.

Early the next morning, the people of Kojir walked out of their homes trembling, and were shocked to find that the banner on the head of the city had become the banner of the Wei people. The people were terrified, not knowing what would greet them next.

Tai Shi Ci left 5,000 defenders to defend Kojir, and he himself led the main force to the north.

At this time, Kushan's 60,000 reinforcements were on their way to the western fortress.

A day later, the armies of the two sides met unexpectedly more than ten miles east of the western fortress, and a fierce battle broke out, which lasted until the evening, and the Kushan army was repulsed. The Wei army took advantage of the victory to pursue and forced the Guishuang army to a hill.

That night, the Wei army launched another fierce offensive and almost completely routed the Kushan army

At about the same time, the officers and men of the Kushan Army, who were anxiously waiting for reinforcements, received the bad news that the reinforcements were besieged, and the army was in turmoil.

At this time, Sun Ce's side launched a strong attack overnight, and this time Sun Ce threw all the forces in his hands into battle, hoping to break through the fortress in the shortest possible time.

The firelight lit up the entire night sky, and the sounds of killing and roaring were intertwined and earth-shattering.

Bang!! With a loud bang, a ball of fire rose up in the city gate, and the soldiers of both sides who were fighting fiercely on the city wall were knocked to the ground by the violent earthquake, and some were shaken off the city wall.

Before the smoke cleared, five thousand Wei cavalry roared in, followed by tens of thousands of foot troops.

The two sides surged near the city gate into a fierce battle, and the scene was chaotic and fierce. (To be continued.) )
