In the valley of the middle reaches of Kabul in the northwest of Peshawar, the royal capital of the Kushan Empire, 300,000 Mongol and Turkic troops gathered.

Subutai has broken through the Kush Mountains controlled by the Kushan Empire, captured the important megacity of Kabul, and attacked the royal city of the Kushan Empire along the Kabul River.

If the Mongol and Turkic armies had crossed the valley in the middle reaches of Kabul and captured the royal city of the Kushan Empire, the Kushan Empire would soon have existed in name only.

Ogedei's son, Guiyu, led a small squad of Mongol cavalry to conduct reconnaissance.

To the south of the river valley, the Kushan Empire's army began to move north, and tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed in.

The Kushan King was aware of the crisis.

Gao Xianzhi led a small group of Kushan cavalry to the middle valley of Kabul to explore the reality of the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces.

The nomadic civilization cultivated by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, and Mongolian steppes in East Asia was very powerful, and it was a combination of Mongolia and Turkic.

"This seems to be a bit tricky......

Gao Xianzhi thought that he could easily defeat Okotai, but the crisis faced by the Kushan Empire was beyond Gao Xianzhi's ability.

In order to make meritorious contributions, Gao Xianzhi could only give it a go.

Even at worst, the Kushan Empire will be destroyed.

"This general, the Mongolian cavalry is in front, less than three miles away, our cavalry has already engaged the Mongolian cavalry, killing and wounding dozens of people."

The Kushan cavalry reported to Gao Xianzhi on the situation ahead.

"Let's go and meet each other for a while."

Gao Xianzhi had the support of King Kushan and a group of princes behind him, and it was also the strength of the Kushan Empire that was squandered, so he had nothing to fear.

Clashes broke out between the Mongol cavalry and the Kushan cavalry in the river valley, and the two sides engaged in battles, and the cavalry continued to die.

Gao Xianzhi led the cavalry used for reconnaissance and quickly defeated the Mongol cavalry led by Guiyou.

Gui You didn't expect the Guishan Empire to be so ferocious, so without saying a word, he stepped forward to attack directly, and was caught off guard, but was easily defeated by Gao Xianzhi.

Gao Xianzhi beheaded two hundred with three hundred cavalry.

"It would be nice if the opposing cavalry were so easy to deal with."

Although Gao Xianzhi won a small victory, he did not dare to underestimate the Mongol cavalry.

The cavalry he defeated was only a small squad of reconnaissance cavalry sent by Ogedai, not the main force of Subutai.

What makes Gao Xianzhi most afraid is Su Butai.

This is also one of the few generals who are currently qualified to use cavalry to contend with the Chutian forces.

"Wang, Gao Xianzhi, who came to support from the Han Empire, defeated the Mongol cavalry and captured two hundred people!"

The Kushan King and the Kushan Empire's army in the rear, because of Gao Xianzhi's small victory, their morale has risen slightly.

"Maybe we can give Gao Xianzhi more troops, maybe we can create a miracle. Shuangmihou, your 100,000 people, obey Gao Xianzhi's command. Increase Gao Xianzhi's strength to 150,000. This time, with all the national strength, a million troops and millions of people, we must defeat Wokotai. ”

"Wang, do you mean to let me obey the orders of a military general in the Western Regions Protectorate whose name we haven't even heard of?"

The Marquis of Shuangmi seemed to be very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the King of Guishan.

Gao Xianzhi was just an ordinary military general in the Western Regions Protectorate for the Kushan Empire.

The Marquis of Shuangmi was the prince of the Kushan Empire, and his status was above Gao Xianzhi.

King Kushan squinted: "At this time, you can only trust the generals of the Western Regions Protectorate, unless you have a way to repel the Mongols and Turks." ”

Shuangmihou was silent.

The Kushan Empire gathered a million soldiers and horses, including the five princes of the Kushan King, and lined up in the middle valley of Kabul to block the advance of the Mongol-Turkic alliance.

The camp of the Kushan Empire filled the entire valley, so much so that the valley could not deploy a million soldiers and horses.

The Kushan King selected the elite among them and confronted the Mongol-Turkic alliance.

Gao Xianzhi came back from reconnaissance, and the King of Kushan assigned the Marquis of Shuangmi and his soldiers and horses to Gao Xianzhi, and Gao Xianzhi's troops reached 150,000, forming the left flank of the Kushan Empire's army.

"Since King Guishan trusts me, Gao will do his best to repel the Mongol cavalry and Turkic cavalry."

Gao Xianzhi pressed on the sword, full of pride.

In a world full of heroes, it is enough to be proud of being able to take charge alone and command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

If you can assist the Kushan Empire to repel the enemy army, then it is not difficult to become a marquis in the Han Empire, after all, the opponent is not a level of existence, opposite is a group of old generals of the Mongol Empire, and a group of Turkic generals.

"It's good that you have the ability to deal with Ogedei, otherwise you'll just lose your life in vain."

Shuangmihou's tone was cold, and he was still dissatisfied with King Guishan's arrangement of him under Gao Xianzhi.

"Ögedai is not as invincible as imagined, and the Ögedai Khanate was destroyed by our Western Regions Protectorate. As for Subutai, it will only be after the battle can the winner be determined......"

Gao Xianzhi knew that the Kushan Empire had its own advantages and strong troops, and if it continued to be consumed, it might be able to use the population advantage to consume the troops of Ogedai.

Shuangmihou shook his head: "Subutai and Jebe are invincible, once they are defeated and captured, they will definitely be killed." ”

……

"If you capture the King of Kushan alive, you will kill him and trample him with ten thousand horses."

Ogedai commanded 300,000 Mongol and Turkic armies to the south, and the strength was only one-third of that of the Kushan king.

But in every battle, Subutai, Jebe, Batu, Yelu Dashi and other generals joined forces, and the battle loss ratio was amazing, and the Kushan Empire had lost three battles, with 300,000 dead soldiers, 500,000 wounded soldiers, and four cities slaughtered.

In comparison, the Turks suffered 100,000 casualties.

On the contrary, the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces were in an advantageous position, and the Kushan King's army, from the Kushan King to the slaves at the bottom, was afraid of the Mongol and Turkic coalition armies.

Subutai and others slaughtered the city in order to deter the nobles of the Kushan Empire.

The army of the Kushan Empire on the opposite side stretched for hundreds of miles, as far as the eye could see, and the valley was full of the soldiers and horses of the Kushan King.

"I hope that Wuliang Hetai, his cavalry can have a miraculous effect, and I will make him the king, and reward him with the six cities of the Kushan Empire as a fief."

Wokotai is counting on the son of Subutai, a good general on one side.

Subutai said: "Wuliang Hetai will not disappoint the Great Khan, and it will definitely work wonders." ”

Ogedei seems to have thought of something rather annoying, that is, the exiled Sultan Arslan of the Seljuk Empire is still rebelling against Ogedei's rule.

Ögedei put Yelu Dashi in charge of quelling Arslan's rebellion: "Yelu Dashi, when Ben Khan conquered the Kushan Empire, Arslan's rebels did not seem to be so arrogant. ”

Jerodashi replied, "Yes, my subordinates have recruited a good general named Mahmud, a Turk. His subordinates joined forces with him and defeated Arslan again. Arslan fled into the mountains, and there was no need to worry about the climate for the time being. ”

"The descendants of the royal family of the Seljuk Empire are always a disaster to keep, and maybe there will be hope of recovering the country in the future. Send a dozen Assassins and try to kill them. Those who successfully assassinate Arslan will be rewarded with a bounty of eight hundred taels. ”

Ögedei was still jealous of the descendants of the Seljuk Sultans who were exiled from the Seljuk Empire.

At the same time, he was curious about the Turkic generals recruited by Yelu Dashi in Central Asia: "Let the Turkic Mahmud come to me." ”

Soon, a Turkic warrior with a red hat and a big beard came to Ögedei.

"Mahmoud has seen the Great Khan."

"Do you have any elite legions?"

"The Ghaznigulam Legion will serve the great Mongol Great Khan."

"The Ghulam Legion? The Seljuk Empire also had a legion called Ghulam. I don't know how the Gazennigulam legion compares to the Serjuguram legion? ”

"Between the two and the best."

"Oh?"

Wokotai couldn't help but be surprised.

The Surjuk Empire's Ghulam Legion Talisman fell into the hands of the rebel Arslan.

The Turkic general in front of him, named Mahmud, had another Gullam legion.

The Ghulam Legion was made up of slaves, and trained slaves were not burdened, obeyed orders, and were more like war machines than citizens.

This person can definitely be reused.

As the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Ögedei had the ability to identify talents.

In the history of Central Asia, there were also quite a few conquerors.

Ogedai thought that the Turkic general Mahmud in front of him was not much different from the Khitan general Yelu Dashi.

Mahmud still had to maintain respect in front of the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire: "Mahmud was willing to serve the Great Khan and crush the Kushan Empire army opposite. ”

"In this great battle with the Kushan Empire, use your bravery to prove to me that you have enough value for me to reuse."

"Yes, the three thousand heavy cavalry of the Gullam Legion of the last general will be invincible."

"Good."

After the defeat to the Han Empire, Ogedai changed its strategy, recruited generals from Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia, expanded its territory, and planned to fight the Han Empire after recovering its strength.

Mahmud, the military generals of the Central Asian civilization, is exactly the target of Ogedei's great efforts.

Wokotai, Yelu Dashi, Batu, Subutai, Wang Baobao and other military generals, standing on the mountains on the north side of the river valley, looking down at the military generals opposite, a posture of inevitable.

The forces of Wokotai, which gathered the civilization of the Mongol Empire and the generals of several civilizations in Central Asia, swallowed thousands of miles like a dragon and swept one side.

To the south of the valley in the middle reaches of Kabul, the princes of the Kushan Empire, such as the King of Kushan, the Prince of Taktu, the Marquis of Shuangmi, the Marquis of Didun, and the Marquis of Gaofu, as well as the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Gao Xianzhi.

"It's not easy to win this battle......"

Even the King of Kushan realized that the Ogedai forces had become extraordinary after absorbing the generals of Central and West Asian civilizations.

"Anything, if you try it, you can know if it is feasible."

Gao Xianzhi clenched his fists.

As long as he defeats Ögedei, he will become famous in Central Asia.

"Wang, Wokotai invites war and wants to fight to the death with us."

The envoys of Ögedei came to call out to the king of Kushan.

"Kushan Empire, fight!"

The Kushan King could not withstand the pressure brought by the Mongol and Turkic alliances, and made a desperate bet to clash between two powerful civilizations!
