Chapter 786: King Kushan

"King Wusun, you lead 30,000 cavalry of Wusun Kingdom as the vanguard to defeat King Guishan."

The expeditionary force of the Western Regions Protectorate marched towards the Kushan Empire's army, and Huo An ordered the Wusun cavalry arriving from the Wusun Kingdom to attack the Kushan Empire's army.

"The Kushan Empire has at least 300,000 troops in the Dawan Kingdom, and I led 30,000 cavalry to attack the army of the Kushan Empire, wouldn't it make me kill myself?"

King Wusun received Huo An's order, and his face turned pale.

The Kushan Empire had a large population, with 300,000 troops in Dawan, and King Wusun thought that Huo An was going to send him to death.

The cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom could not defeat ten with one.

"This is an order, if the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom does not go, the Wusun Kingdom will be removed."

"Obey ......"

King Wusun was reluctant in every way, but he still had to be shocked by Huo An's majesty, and chose to leave the expeditionary force and serve as the vanguard army.

In the camp of the 300,000 army of the Kushan Empire, the Guishan Wangqiu sat on the throne and looked at the scout generals kneeling below: "The Western Regions Protectorate sent 30,000 cavalry to test our 300,000 army?" This king has blocked Wokotai for more than a year or two, how can he be afraid of the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate! Mobilize all your troops and horses to destroy this Wusun cavalry! ”

The 300,000 Kushan Empire's army was immediately mobilized, and all the soldiers and horses were assembled.

In a valley of Dawan Kingdom, the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom and the army of the Kushan Empire met, and a clash broke out between the Wusun people and the Yueshi people, and a group of cavalry of the Kushan Empire detoured back to the rear of the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom, trying to cut off the retreat of the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom.

"We're in an ambush!"

"Deus Ex!"

King Wusun drew his saber, panicked, and led the cavalry of Wusun to retreat.

A group of Kushan Imperial cavalry stormed the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom, and arrows rained down, covering the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom, and thousands of Wusun cavalry were killed!

Under the protection of a group of guards, the King of Kushan climbed high and looked, and the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom was besieged by the army of the 300,000 Kushan Empire, and they were still supporting to the death.

"The cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom is brave, but most of the Western Regions have sent them as vanguards, and they have only come to die. Recruit the king of Wusun, if you occupy the Dawan Kingdom and then take advantage of the situation to occupy the Wusun Kingdom, the Kushan Empire will become an unprecedentedly powerful empire. ”

King Guishan saw that the cavalry of Wusun Kingdom was fighting bravely after being besieged, and he couldn't help but love talents, and wanted to use the influence of King Wusun to subdue Wusun Kingdom.

King Wusun fought to the death, killing thousands of enemy soldiers, but was unable to break through, and was finally captured by the Kushan Empire and brought to the King of Kushan.

"The Western Regions of the Han Empire sent you as the vanguard to attack the enemy army ten times its own strength, which is a plan to kill people with a sword. The Han Empire has wiped out many tribal leaders, the kings of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and now only a few kings are still alive, it is conceivable that they let you rule the Wusun Kingdom, but the time is not yet ripe, and now, you have no value for them, so I want to borrow my hand to get rid of you. ”

The King of Kushan asked the King of Wusun, who was tied up for the big flowers, to loosen his ties and personally helped him up.

King Wusun was injured and his expression was depressed: "I have made great contributions to the protection of the capital of the Western Regions and the preservation of the Western Regions for the Han Empire, but I didn't expect them to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and they want to use me to consume your troops." ”

"This king, Qiu is about to establish a great empire with a territory of thousands of miles, serve me, defeat the Western Regions Protectorate, and I promise you and your descendants to rule the territory of Wusun Kingdom forever."

"The cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom is willing to serve the king of kings of the river world."

After King Wusun was captured, he simply surrendered to the army of the Kushan Empire.

On the way to the army, Huo An was very annoyed when he heard that King Wusun had surrendered, and the nobles of Dawan who stood on Huo An's side saw that such a thing had happened, and they looked at each other and did not dare to say much.

About 70,000 troops of the Western Regions Protectorate confronted the 300,000 troops of the Kushan Empire's camp in the wilderness.

On the opposite side, the Kushan Empire's mounted cavalry was lined up, equipped with oriental-style armor, iron armor, and spears in their hands.

Equipped with iron horses, no matter which civilization they are in, they are elite legions.

The feudal warriors of the Kushan Empire, as well as the Punjabi warriors who succumbed to the Kushan Empire, led the low-level infantry to form an infantry phalanx, which was a vast mixture of ancient Chinese, ancient Greek, ancient Indian, and ancient Persian styles.

Central Asian civilizations were influenced by the East and the West, so the legions of the Kushan Empire were also influenced by a variety of civilizations.

"The population of the Kushan Empire is tens of millions, with 300,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 mounted cavalry, and a large number of archers, and it is not easy to win."

Ban Chao reined in his horse and looked at the boundless army of the Kushan Empire opposite.

There were 100,000 expeditionary forces in the Western Regions Protectorate, of which 30,000 Wusun cavalry surrendered to the Kushan Empire after thousands of casualties, and more than 20,000 Wusun cavalry were on the flank of the Kushan Empire.

"We have few troops, so the King of Kushan dares to go out of the city to fight with us, and fight as quickly as possible. It's an opportunity for us, but it's also dangerous. Huo Quai, Ma Chao, you are ready to assault the army of the Kushan Empire. ”

Huo An has two fierce generals here who dare to charge, and Huo Quai's eight hundred Han Empire hussars are extremely rare ninth-order light cavalry.

Light cavalry is generally capped at the seventh order, but Huo Quai's light cavalry is a ninth-order light cavalry, with the mobility of light cavalry, and at the same time has the impact power comparable to that of heavy cavalry.

The Iron Eagle Warriors of the Qin State, the Imperial Hussars of the Han Dynasty, the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, and the Cowardly Xue Army of the Mongol Empire were all the elites of the suppression of an era.

The Han Empire hussars were behind Huo Quai, all of them were wearing armor and bows, and were equipped with two spears, and in order to increase the speed of the attack, the war horses were not equipped with heavy armor.

Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was a heavy cavalry, and after the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was reorganized, there were 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrayed.

Ma Chao looked at Huo Qubing on the side, although Huo Quzhi's force was not as good as him, but in foreign wars, Huo Quzhi's ability to command the cavalry was stronger than him.

"Can we defeat the armies of the Kushan Empire? They are a powerful empire, and if they are defeated, we may be captured alive by the King of Kushan, and none of them will be able to escape. ”

The nobles of the Dawan Kingdom on the side of Huo An's camp were very nervous, and the army of the Kushan Empire was huge and terrifying.

"Sometimes population isn't everything, and you have to use your mind."

Huo An looked at the black pressure lineup on the opposite side, the military formation of the Kushan Empire was indeed terrifying, gathering the princes of many tribes of the Kushan Empire, the five marquis of the Yue Clan, and three of them were on the opposite side.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions dares to face four times their strength, I really don't know whether to live or die."

The King of Kushan asked each prince to command each army and horse separately, otherwise he alone would not be able to provide a bonus for the army of 300,000.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions has always been domineering, and they want to rule the whole of Central Asia, which seems to be their style."

"Let our Kushan Empire end the ambition of the Western Regions Protectorate, and only our Kushan Empire can do it."

King Kushan drew his sword and pointed forward: "Attack!" ”

The sound of the Kushan Empire's horn echoed on the battlefield, and nearly 100,000 foot soldiers of the Kushan Empire held their shields and pressed towards the army of the Western Regions Protectorate!

The army of the Kushan Empire was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, bringing a tense sense of oppression.

The empires that have persisted until now have a large number of elite legions, not peasant armies that can be easily defeated, and the Praetorian Guards of the King of Kushan have not yet been put into the battlefield, and he intends to use the power of the feudal military nobles in various places to consume the physical strength and morale of the Protectorate Legion of the Western Regions, and then decide the victory in one fell swoop.

"It's really a shocking military formation, it seems that it still underestimates the power of the Kushan Empire. If we fight in the hinterland of the Kushan Empire, and the Kushan King calls on a million troops to besiege us, we will be consumed. ”

Huo An couldn't help but feel numb when he thought that the silent Kushan Empire had a population of tens of millions, which was seven or eight times the population of the current Western Regions Protectorate.

In extreme circumstances, with the influence of the Kushan King, it is possible to call on millions of soldiers and horses, provided that it is in the northern part of the Indus Valley, the most populous of the Kushan Empire.

The distribution of the population is extremely uneven, the civilization of the great rivers and river basins has a large population, and the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate is vast, but the population density is very small.

"Gao Xianzhi led the infantry to block the front, and Li Siye's Modao team served as the vanguard."

Huo An called the pair of Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye to meet the army of the Kushan Empire.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions Legion is already generally equipped with Divine Arm Bows, with tens of thousands of Divine Arm Bows drawn and soldiers loaded with crossbow arrows.

"The Kushan Empire's army has attacked!"

A nobleman of the Great Wan Kingdom exclaimed, the infantry of the Kushan Empire was less than a hundred steps away from the army of the Western Regions Protectorate!

The rain of arrows covered the sky, and the heavy infantry with shields in the front row looked up into the air, and the shadows cast by the rain of arrows were terrifying.

Li Siye, the vanguard general of the Western Regions Protectorate, abandoned his armor and was shirtless, holding a Mo knife in his hand, his bronze muscles tense.

Behind him, the three thousand Mo sword team was orderly and tall, with an average height of more than one meter eight, and they looked tall in the entire Western Regions Protectorate army.

Gao Xianzhi pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed forward: "Forward!" ”

The infantry on both sides began to accelerate their charge, using the impact of speed to try to crush the opposing army's formation in one fell swoop!

"Kill!"

The two phalanxes collided, and rows of infantry pressed up!

Li Siye led the Mo Dao team to attack in one direction, and the Mo Dao was in his hand, cutting down a square shield, and a blood mark appeared on the Guishan Empire's soldiers behind the shield, and the whole person was cut in two by Li Siye!!

The Mo Dao team followed closely behind Li Siye, rampage, invincible, and neatly swung the knife forward, cutting off the enemy's armor!

The Mo Dao team harvested, and even the thousand commanders of the Kushan Empire were overwhelmed by the Mo Dao team, and their arms were cut off!

The Modao Team, a special class from the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, was the most offensive infantry under Huo An's command, daring to fight hand-to-hand with any type of troops, even if it was heavy cavalry on the opposite side, they dared to come forward to fight with it.

Li Siye's Mo Dao team rushed through the army of the Kushan Empire and opened a breakthrough.

King Guishan saw that the 100,000 infantry were cut out of a gap by the 3,000 Mo sword team, and his face was not very good-looking: "The Praetorian Guard is dispatched to destroy the Western Regions Protectorate." In addition, to guard against the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom, they are not completely trustworthy. ”
