Chapter 833: Burning the Vine Armor
In the twelfth year of the lord's calendar, in the battle of the middle valley of Kabul, the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces under the command of Ogedai defeated the million-strong army of the Kushan Empire at the cost of 50,000 casualties, slaughtered 160,000 people, captured 200,000 prisoners, and the rest of the soldiers and horses either defected or fled.
Under the protection of the Praetorian Guards, the Kushan King fled back to the royal city of Peshawar.
The battle of Kabul has alarmed all civilizations in the world of "Lords"!
In this battle, the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces showed an unparalleled art of war, not only forcing the two princes of the Kushan Empire to join forces inside and outside, but also a Mongol cavalry from Wuliang Hetai attacked the Indus Valley from the Doba Gagar Mountains, resulting in the direct collapse of the Kushan Empire, and it was completely impossible to organize troops for the next round of resistance.
The First Battle of Γgedei established itself as the supremacy of Central Asia, and the troops reached the Indus Valley.
The civilizations of Central, South, and West Asia once again felt the horrors of the Mongol Empire.
It is also the familiar tactics of slaughtering the city and intimidating the cavalry.
Although the Mongol Empire is nominally no more, the shadow of the Mongol Empire remains.
"The Mongol cavalry merged with the Turkic cavalry...... A powerful empire was built, and even I could not contain it...... Is Gao Xianzhi still alive? β
Ban Chao, who stayed in Dawan, was also increasingly unable to control the situation in Central Asia.
The generals there are all a bunch of perverts.
Γgedei, the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire in history, and his son Guiyou, the third Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
Yelu Dashi, the founder of the Western Liao (Southern Song Dynasty), the overlord of Central Asia.
Mahmud, the lord of the Zhongxing dynasty of the Ghaznavid dynasty (Northern Song dynasty).
Batu, the founder of the Golden Horde (Yuan Dynasty) in Eastern Europe.
Subutai and Jebe, the two commanders of the Mongol Empire's westward expedition.
Timur, the founder of the Timurid Empire (early Ming Dynasty).
A group of heroes joined forces, and the civilization established by Ogedai was no longer a second-rate empire, but a first-class empire, which was a threat to any civilization.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions was already somewhat unable to withstand the pressure brought by Wokotai.
Ban Chao alone led his troops to kill one of the opponent's heroes at most, but if several heroes joined forces to attack, plus the population advantage......
Unless the Central Plains princes of the Han Empire make a move, they will be able to suppress the expanding Wokotai.
After all, the Han Empire is still a super existence above the first-class empires, and one empire can challenge the whole of Europe.
The premise was a unified Han Empire.
"My lord, General Gao Xianzhi is back!"
When Ban Chao was worried about the battle for Ogedei to capture the middle valley of Kabul, Gao Xianzhi, who had gone to assist the Kushan Empire, escaped.
When Ban Chao saw Gao Xianzhi again, Gao Xianzhi was like a bloody man, with dozens of heavy injuries and scars on his face.
"Immediately gather all the doctors and Lang Zhong to heal General Gao's wounds!"
Ban Chao saw that Gao Xianzhi came back alive, and before asking about the defeat, he summoned all the doctors in Dawan Kingdom and tried his best to save Gao Xianzhi.
The capital of the Western Regions protected Huo An's entry into the customs, and a major war suddenly broke out in Central Asia, if Gao Xianzhi died, then it would be a huge loss for the Western Regions Protectorate.
Gao Xianzhi was the king of the Han Empire's mountain marches.
"Except for our soldiers...... The rest of the people...... None of ...... reliable"
Gao Xianzhi was holding a half-cut sword, and he no longer trusted the servant armies of the Central Asian countries.
was betrayed by the corps of the servant army, which made Gao Xianzhi have a psychological shadow.
Except for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters of the Western Regions Protectorate, as well as allies like King Wusun who can stand the test, the soldiers and horses of the rest of the countries are really unreliable.
Even the King of Kushan was betrayed by the two princes under his command and suffered heavy losses.
"I see, Ogedei's strategy of slaughtering the city has made the nobles of the Kushan Empire lose the courage to resist the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces."
After Gao Xianzhi recovered his strength slightly, Ban Chao completely understood the cause and effect.
The two princes of the Kushan Empire defected to the unstoppable Mongol and Turkic alliances, which was not necessarily a suitable choice for them personally.
"Surrender to Ogedei, they can still retain their position, and fight against Ogedei, once defeated, most of them will lose their status, and there is a great possibility of defeat and killing. But in any case, it is indeed shameful to betray before the empire is destroyed. If it falls into the hands of our Western Regions Protectorate in the future, it will definitely be killed. β
Ban Chao can understand the actions of the two princes of the Kushan Empire, but it doesn't mean that they won't be scoffed at.
"You recuperate for the time being, and inform the lord."
Ban Chao asked Gao Xianzhi to recuperate for the time being.
Things in Central Asia seem to be getting more and more tricky.
In the Southern Barbarian region of the Han Empire, Huo An was uniting with Mu Ke and fighting Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's Yizhou army was ambushed like never before in the Nanban region.
Wudang Fei Army, Tengjia Army, and White Pole Soldiers, haunted in the mountains and forests, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were brave, it was difficult to find the main force of these legions.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have accumulated a lot of anger now, but they are helpless against these legions that haunt the mountains and forests.
In the mountains and forests, hundreds of poisoned arrows were fired, covering the flanks of Guan Yu's legions, and dozens of cavalrymen were shot.
The arrows are coated with poison, and even if a military commander is hit by an arrow, he will be injured.
"It's really annoying, how can I defeat the Wudang Flying Army?"
Zhang Fei overturned a deer antler in anger.
The Wudang Fei Army led by Qin Liangyu made Zhang Fei suffer.
Charging head-on, with Zhang Fei's force, leading the cavalry to break through, maybe Qin Liangyu's troops will be defeated by Zhang Fei.
But in the mountains and forests, Qin Liangyu was already familiar with the local terrain, so Zhang Fei couldn't catch Qin Liangyu's main force, let alone defeat Qin Liangyu.
In a valley, a fire spreads, Wang Meng and Liu Bei lure a vine armor soldier into the valley, and then shoot it with rockets.
Thousands of vine armor soldiers were killed in the valley, and the vulture held the mace and smashed the enemy soldiers who killed him.
About a dozen foot soldiers besieged the vulture, and the mace of the vulture bone hit one of the foot soldiers, who was completely unable to withstand the mace hammer blow, and the sternum was broken, killing him instantly!
The vultures let out an inhuman roar, and with their massive body, they rampaged through the enemy, and hundreds of enemy soldiers fell under his mace.
Smoke billowed from the valley and corpses strewn across the field.
The vulture bone led the vine armor soldiers, still struggling, trying to break out of the valley where the heavy soldiers were ambushed.
Hunting in the mountain wind, Wang Meng and Liu Bei stood on the mountainside, looking down at the fire in the valley below.
"One will make a ...... ten thousand bones wither"
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw thousands of people in the vulture bones being blocked in the valley, and many people were submerged in the fire.
"Ci is not in charge of the army, if the lord wants to chase the Central Plains, it can only be like this."
A strategist of Wang Meng's level didn't care much about the lives of ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers are just pawns.
"If nothing else, then the headache of the vine armor soldiers will be wiped out. The generals of the Southern Barbarians, except for Qin Liangyu and Mu Ke, who have a bit of brains, the other generals are just a group of reckless men. If there is no Yiren leadership, it is easy to pacify the Nanban. β
Wang Meng's eyes reflected the firelight in the sky.
The Vulture's Vine Armor Soldiers can be miraculous in foreign warfare, as alien civilizations do not understand the weaknesses of the Vine Armor Soldiers.
For the civilization within the Han Empire, the rattan armor soldiers were not a special type of troops.
Suddenly, the Turkic cavalry of the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer, who was on guard on the periphery, was attacked by Qin Liangyu's Wudang Flying Army and White Pole Soldiers!
Qin Liangyu, who was still fighting with Zhang Fei's army not long ago, trekked through mountains and rivers and suddenly attacked Ashina Sheer's cavalry!
Ashina Sheer is a veteran who has taken refuge in Liu Bei for many years, and he is also one of the generals of the Turkic civilization.
This time, he thought that Qin Liangyu, as before, was just coming to harass, but he underestimated the reality of the guerrilla tactics used by the Inhuman Lord.
When the important military general of the Southern Barbarians, the vulture bone, was besieged by Wang Meng, Qin Liangyu did not stand idly by, but launched a fierce attack.
and Qin Liangyu joined forces to attack Ashina Sheer, as well as the military general Wang Zhongsi brought by Huo An, a famous general guarding the border in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and the envoy of the Four Towns Festival.
Wang Zhongsi and Qin Liangyu joined forces, Qin Liangyu commanded the infantry, and Wang Zhongsi commanded the cavalry, and the two cavalry flanked Ashina Sheer, Ashina Sheer was defeated and retreated in the direction where Wang Meng was.
The allies who cooperated with Wang Zhongsi and Qin Liangyu, as well as soldiers and horses from various tribes in the Nanban region, also joined the battle.
War elephants haunt the mountains and forests, and tribes that drive away fierce beasts to fight have finally come to the rescue, joining forces to deal with the legions from the northern part of Yizhou.
The two legions of Yizhou represent the interests of the powerful in two different places in Yizhou, and they are fighting for each other!
The war elephant trampled on the foot soldiers in front of them, and the beasts pounced out of the mountains and forests, tearing the war horses of Liu Bei's army.
"Vulture bones, it's time for us to go!"
Qin Liangyu took the white pole soldiers and joined the vulture bones.
There were blood stains on the chest of the vulture bone, and his eyes were red: "My rattan armor soldiers, two or three thousand people died. β
"Being calculated by Wang Meng, it's not your fault, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!"
Qin Liangyu broke through on horseback, and the vulture bone followed her, forcibly killing a bloody path.
The force of the vulture bone was even more amazing, forcibly killing hundreds of soldiers along the way, Liu Bei's soldiers were afraid of this southern barbarian general, and subconsciously retreated backwards.
Behind the vultures, there is also a surviving vine armor soldier who follows the vultures to break through.
Qin Liangyu's spear swept across, and his force was not as strong as that of the vulture, but he still stood out from the encirclement.
Huo An and Mu Ke stood side by side, standing on top of the hill, looking at the raging fire in the valley not far away.
"In addition to Qin Liangyu, there are also the generals of the Western Regions Protectorate you brought, and my Southern Barbarian generals are basically guys who only have muscles and no brains. In Lords, this trend is even more pronounced. β
Mu Ke transferred the attribute panel of the vulture bone to Huo An.

β¦β¦
"Quite a lot of force, and it has two strong heads-up traits, but this IQ is a hard hit...... When he encountered a strategist of Wang Meng's level, it seemed natural that the vine armor soldiers would suffer losses. β
Huo An glanced at the vulture's ability.
With his own strength, the vulture bone killed hundreds of Wang Meng's army.
However, Wang Meng set fire to the two thousand rattan armor soldiers.
Unlike Huo An's Western Regions Protectorate, only Qin Liangyu on Mu Ke's side belongs to the triathlon (commander, force, intelligence), while the other generals are basically only higher in force, as for the commander and intelligence, it is a mess.
In addition, the two generals of Nanban, Meng Shu and Zhu Rong, were still two children at this time.
There are many brave and resourceful generals under Huo An, not only Huo Quzhi, but also Ban Chao, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Zhongsi, Chen Tang and others, who also have the ability to take charge of themselves.
Mu Ke asked, "What should we do?" β
"Continue to retreat, consuming Liu Bei's troops and grain and grass. Chu Zimou is in western Liaoning, and he must also make progress as soon as possible, so that the pressure on our side can be reduced. β
"His Royal Highness King Liang, Dawan Du protects Gao Xianzhi and returns, there is a rebellion within the Kushan Empire, and the battle of the Kabul River Valley is lost! General Gao Xianzhi was seriously injured and returned to Dawan to recuperate. General Ban Chao believes that the Kushan Empire may be annexed by the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces! β
Huo An frowned slightly when he heard the report from Central Asia.
Central Asia was originally in a delicate balance, and there has never been a hegemon, all because Huo'an's Western Regions Protectorate was carrying out checks and balances.
Soon after Huo An entered the customs, there was an accident in Central Asia.
But if you don't enter the customs, the Nanban region will be annexed by Liu Bei, and you won't be able to put pressure on Liangzhou.
"You can't have both, you can only find a place in Wokotai after the unification of the Han Empire. Wokotai injured my generals, and this field will be recovered in the future no matter what. Moreover, Wokotai and Yelu Dashi indirectly killed Xu Fengnian's general Wang Yanzhang, and Xu Fengnian also had hatred for them. β
Huo An ignored Ogedai for the time being, and really did not have the troops to fight with the Mongol and Turkic coalition forces.
Mongols, Turks, any civilization is extremely powerful.
The Turks originated in the northern steppes and were originally the iron-smelting slaves of the Rouran tribe, but they happened to meet the rising Tang Dynasty, and the East Asian branch was wiped out, but the Turkic influence on Central Asia and West Asia lasted for thousands of years, and many people in Central Asia and West Asia were Turkic.
Outside Luoyang City, Lao Qin personally arrived, joined Lu Bu and Li Dao, and at the same time brought strong troops to approach Luoyang City, which was in danger.
Wei Wuji stood on the walls of Luoyang City.
This city has not been conquered for long, and it is in danger of being recaptured by the Qin army, and at this time, Wu Qi, who can sanction the Qin army, is besieging the last and most important city in Hedong County, Puban City, unable to support Wei Wuji.
