This is the case with a war, you can't pay attention to any rules, and you can't determine the specific time, but in the evening, the east wind blew, and although the wind was not strong, it was the best time to attack.

After the 300,000 troops were purged, they immediately set off and rushed towards the army of Vaska, and a great battle finally began.

Having learned the lessons of Heras's defeat, Vasca was vigilant at night, and the soldiers took turns on duty without slackening. As soon as he heard that the Han army was coming from the southeast, Huaskar sneered and immediately ordered the large armies from the south and east to come and intercept it.

The oversized shield obtained from Kushan played a role again, Zhao Yun learned from Xiangju's practice, and as soon as the two armies encountered, he set up the shield on the ground, forming a solid shield wall, and then constantly throwing stones and arrows to block the advance of the Kushan army.

Hearing that his army had blocked the offensive from the southeast, Vasca breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that his formation had played a key role. However, then another news came that a Han army also appeared in the northwest.

Vaskar scratched his head and hurriedly ordered the eastern army to split up and unite with the troops in the north to stop the Han army in the northwest. Qian Mo followed Zhao Yun's example, but he only tried his best to block it, and at the same time threw stones and arrows, and did not launch a fierce attack.

Could it be that the other party is difficult to crack his own formation and wants to fight a protracted war of attrition? Vasca didn't think so, as long as the four-way army was properly coordinated, and there was also the middle lane, which could be used as an effective support for either side, and when the other side was tired of coping, he could attack it with all his might.

Even Vasca took great pains to analyze himself, feeling that the Han army's move was really not clever, too conservative, and a little petty. If Zhuge Liang attacks with all his strength at this time, there is some chance of victory, which is what Huaskar is most worried about, if this is the case, it can only be a direct confrontation of the five-way army, relying on a strong body to defend the country, and at the same time urgently recruit soldiers and horses in the country, and drive the Han army out of the country at the cost of his life.

Therefore, in Vaskar's view, the worst has not happened, and it is definitely the blessing of the Buddha at present, and it is not impossible to share and encroach on the Han army.

Huasca had a wait-and-see attitude, Zhuge Liang had also been waiting for the news of the front line, and the horses were running non-stop, and everything was in an orderly manner, Zhuge Liang felt that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered the army in the middle to advance directly.

Vasca was still thinking about which team to support, and heard the news that a Han army was coming directly along the eastern road.

Waskar couldn't help but wipe his sweat, fortunately he didn't move, otherwise the Han army in the middle would definitely be able to drive straight in and disrupt the formation. So Vasca hurriedly informed the army on the western route to come and meet him, and he led the army to meet him immediately to the east.

Zhuge Liang checked the direction of the wind and had his own plan, he was going to launch a fire attack on Vaska's army, as the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, Zhuge Liang gave an order, and a large number of bows and arrows shot towards the opposite side.

Vasca hurriedly ordered the soldiers to block with shields, but when the arrows hit the shields, they made a muffled sound, and the strength was not strong enough.

Could it be that the Han army is running out of bows and arrows, so they have found these crude substitutes? Vasca was overjoyed, because the lethality of the wooden stick was weaker than that of the arrow, and he ordered the soldiers not to be afraid, and continued to charge forward, throwing arrows at the Han army.

The tall shield played its role again, Zhuge Liang continued to order, and the stone-throwing cart threw the firewood and grass balls over again, these things could not cause much damage to the Guishan soldiers, and they were sent out one after another, and a thick layer accumulated on the ground.

Maybe the Han army didn't even have enough stone reserves, so they used this trick. Vasca was even more excited, thinking that the battle would be won, however, just when the two armies were less than fifty meters away and a frontal clash was about to break out, an overwhelming rocket suddenly struck, lighting up the entire night sky.

Vasca shuddered his liver, and when he looked closely, it was definitely an iron arrow, with a long range, great lethality, and so many that it was like rain.

The Kushan soldiers raised their iron shields one after another, and the clanging sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and because of the close distance, many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows and died.

However, this was not the most deadly, and what happened next made Huaskar finally understand Zhuge Liang's power, and the wooden sticks and firewood and grass balls that had been shot earlier were ignited by the rockets and caught fire.

The smoke was billowing and tongues of fire were dancing, and the iron shields of the Kushan soldiers were so hot that they could not hold them at all, and the fire spread rapidly with the direction of the wind, burning towards the west.

Zhuge Liang continued to throw firewood and grass balls and fire wooden arrows, so that the fire had enough fuel and burned more and more violently.

There were countless Guishan soldiers who were burned by arrows, Vasca was completely panicked, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, of course Zhuge Liang would not give him a chance, the feather fan pointed far away, Fan Jinqiang and E Huan each led the soldiers and horses, and rushed forward one left and one right.

Losing their shields, the Kushan soldiers were immediately at a disadvantage, and the Han army's precise use of spears was prominent, often piercing their chests before their long swords could be attacked.

Fan Jinqiang and E Huan each held weapons, and everywhere they went, a group of people turned over on their backs, and blood flowed like a river. In the battlefield of blood and fire, Vasca finally escaped under the cover of the soldiers, and the 40,000 army led by himself lost as much as 20,000.

Because of the blockage of the fire, the Kushan reinforcements who had just come to the west could not come forward, Zhuge Liang was very good at improvising on the battlefield, and seeing that it was difficult for Vasca to turn back and attack, he ordered Fan Jinqiang and E Huan to lead the army to attack from the flanks and assist Zhao Yun and Qian Mo.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Zhao Yun and Qian Mo immediately turned from defense to attack, and the Guishan soldiers were confused by the soldiers and horses attacking from the flanks, coupled with the large number of Han troops, they immediately showed a defeat trend.

"Soldiers, win as soon as possible, and go home as soon as possible!" Qian Mo shouted.

As soon as they heard this, the soldiers, who had long missed their hometown, attacked even more violently, and the clanging of weapons handed over, shouts, and screams were intertwined, making the night even more noisy during the day.

The battle lasted all night, Zhuge Liang led the army back, this big battle, heavy damage to the army of Vaska, the loss of more than 100,000 Kushan soldiers, but the Han army only lost more than 10,000 horses.

After losing 100,000 soldiers and horses in the first battle, Vasca wept, according to this situation, the national destruction seemed inevitable, and he had no choice but to do his best to defend his homeland.
