Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Yun's abacus was very shrewd, and the result could not but satisfy him.  Under the almost crazy move of the Qin army, all the troops quickly encircled and laid a huge encirclement, successfully surrounding the Kushan army.  Of course, this encirclement is quite weak, and the Kushan people can rush out at any time if they are willing.  Zhao Yun had already been mentally prepared for this situation.  He knew that even if Kushan's troops had the ability to withdraw, they would never choose to retreat easily.  He could easily judge the purpose of the Kushan military from the actions of the Kushan army in the past few days.  They just wanted to force the Qin army to retreat, or the two armies to sign an agreement.  In this way, Kushan will get some time to recuperate.  In fact, this is not the case for the Qin army, because it took too much time and needed a period of rest and recuperation, and at the same time, it also needed to digest the occupied area.  In fact, Zhao Yun is still more inclined to negotiate peace with Guishang. After all, Daqin and Guishan have been at war for more than a year.  If you include preparation time, it will take even more days.  Although Da Qin's national power was strong, the consumption of this war was also quite staggering.  It can be said that more than half of the national treasury was consumed in the war.  If it continues, I am afraid that before long, Da Qin will be unable to continue this war.  But after all, this is his own idea and cannot represent the entire Qin court, let alone Lu Bu's decision.  Maybe Lu Bu wanted to destroy Kuishang before he would give up.  Zhao Yun felt a little frustrated when he thought of the protracted war. Will the war really drag on for that long?  Gola Khan was a little helpless. He wanted to command his troops to break out of the encirclement.  But the situation did not allow him to do this.  The Qin people's troops have been deployed, and the purpose of mobilizing the Qin people has been achieved.  But if he retreats without fighting, there is no need for him to mobilize the Qin people.  What's more, he planned to punish the soldiers who betrayed the country. This goal has not been achieved, how could he retreat easily?  What's more, the generals of the Qin army were very funny and actually used the native soldiers as an independent force.  Since the other party gave such a big gift, how could he not eat it?  Although the gift likely came with a sharp fishhook.  It¡¯s not like Gola Khan has never thought of recruiting these native soldiers.  But he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would centralize the management of the Tubingdi family.  The euphemistic name is to prevent the local soldiers from having to worry about their future, but this is clearly taking hostages.  For the sake of the safety of their families, there is no way for the soldiers to do anything.  The most it can do is put some water on the battlefield.  Knowing that his time was running out, Gola Khan no longer hesitated and fed the soldiers before setting off.  Most of the officers of the local soldiers were Kushan generals who were captured or surrendered.  Moreover, these generals were all from Kushan civilian background.  Before joining the local soldiers, they were all low-level officers in the Kushan Army.  They possess certain qualities and enjoy certain benefits after surrendering. It can be said that they are more loyal than ordinary soldiers.  More importantly.  They also enjoyed the treatment of Qin army generals.  Faced with such a good thing, how can they control themselves?  Almost all generals chose to join the soldiers.  Of course, according to military regulations, how many of their native soldiers can escape the status of slaves determines the military rank they will obtain.  The combat effectiveness of the local soldiers is really not worth mentioning.  This can be seen from their formation.  Fifty thousand men and horses were divided into five hundred small groups and fifty large groups, moving forward in a noisy manner like ants.  The Kushans who served as commanders of the native troops had no experience in commanding large corps in combat.  Before that, he was just an officer who commanded a thousand people, which was already a very high rank among civilian officers.  Beside him, there was a staff group composed of three Qin army generals.  Their task was to "assist" the Kushan generals.  Command the soldiers to fight.  The troops of the native soldiers seemed to be vulnerable, but it was deliberately done by the three staff officers of the Qin Army.  In their view.  The native soldiers are nothing more than cannon fodder. Their mission is to consume the Kushan people's vitality.  In the end, it was still up to the Da Qin army behind to resolve the battle.  Moreover, the local soldiers were newly formed after all. Whether they could be loyal to Da Qin was still unknown.  If they were allowed to build up the confidence that they could compete with Da Qin's soldiers, this would not be a good thing for Da Qin's rule over the occupied areas.  Of course, such small actions cannot be mentioned on the table.  As the soldiers were advancing, the ground suddenly began to shake. This situation only occurs when a large group of cavalry appears.  The soldier commander's expression changed and he immediately ordered his troops to line up.  In order to encourage the timid soldiers, the command officer shouted desperately: "The lives of the three enemies, freedom" and other words, which stimulated the soldiers' hearts that could be described as numb.  The troops commanded by Gola Khan were like a whirlwind blowing by. In his opinion, as soon as his troops appeared, the soldiers who had betrayed the motherland would at least be in chaos, and no matter what, they would fight between two groups.  But what surprised him was that the enemy in front of him was obviously not as weak as he thought.  The eyes of these soldiers were shining with green light, like wolves that had discovered their prey.Some soldiers also muttered to themselves: "The heads of three Kushan soldiers." Gola Khan suddenly woke up and Tan Ma worked hard to obtain the information. All the Kushan prisoners had become slaves. If he wanted to be free,  You must join the native soldiers and exchange military achievements for them.  No wonder these troops, which can only be described as miscellaneous brands, erupted with such terrifying momentum. Maybe I was really wrong.  But there was no time to hesitate at this point.  The troops are already full of momentum. If they give up, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the troops.  Without any further hesitation, Gola Khan clamped his legs on the belly of the war horse, brandished his sword, and shouted: "My sons, show your courage, for the sake of the motherland and our hope, kill -" all the Kushans  The soldiers raised their weapons together and shouted loudly: "For the motherland and for our hope, kill¡ª¡ª" The commander of the native soldiers also shouted: "For military glory and freedom, kill¡ª¡ª" He was a little annoyed by the morale of his compatriots.  The depressed soldiers seemed to have taken stimulants, and they had the motivation and courage to fight again. They all clenched the weapons in their hands and shouted: "For freedom, kill¡ª¡ª" Two troops composed of Kushan people finally  They collided together, just like two swords colliding together, creating scorching sparks.  In an instant, thousands of people in both armies lost their precious lives.  Gola Khan's troops are cavalry after all. From every angle, they are a step above the native soldiers.  Although the number was only about 30,000, they had an absolute upper hand.  But they still paid a heavy price in front of the red-eyed soldiers.  The cavalry relies on their mobility and impact. Without the impact of the cavalry, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and sometimes it is even worse than the infantry.  Especially for the cavalry who were trapped in the sea of ??people, only death was waiting for them.  After many Guishang cavalry killed and knocked over dozens of soldiers, they lost their impact and were killed by the soldiers who surrounded them from all directions.  Some soldiers were even more unlucky. They were blocked by countless soldiers without even giving full play to their advantages, and their lives were lost in vain.  The organization of the native soldiers is very strange. Even the largest army organization only has one thousand people.  They have formed small groups, frantically plundering the lives of their compatriots.  Faced with this situation, Gola Khan was helpless. He did not want to see such a horrific scene, and he did not want to do this.  Those who died were all Kushans, all his compatriots.  But he had to do this. If he didn't take such measures, Guishang would really be doomed and there would be no room for a comeback.  What's more, if he doesn't eat the opposing team, only destruction awaits him and his troops.  He is a general and the commander-in-chief of an army. He is responsible for his soldiers and the monarch he serves.  The combat effectiveness of the local soldiers was still weak after all. Although they caused a lot of casualties to Gola Khan's regular cavalry with their bloody courage, their good luck ended here.  There are not many people who can defeat the powerful cavalry with infantry.  After the casualties reached a certain level, the sepoys finally collapsed.  They lost control and began to flee wildly. This can be described as a rout. Almost all the soldiers lost their organization and they had completely lost the ability to resist.  Looking at the defeated soldiers, Gola Khan had a look of helplessness on his face.  In the fierce battle just now, he paid the price of at least 3,000 cavalry, and 3,000 people lost their combat effectiveness. As for the wounded, there were even more.  He sighed and ordered the three thousand wounded cavalry to pursue them one after another. The soldiers must not be allowed to catch their breath, reorganize, and turn around to cause trouble for themselves.  At the same time, he quickly organized his troops to prepare for the big battle that followed.  It must be said that Gola Khan was an outstanding commander. As soon as his troops were assembled, the earth began to shake, and most of the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun appeared on the horizon.  After Zhao Yun received the news of the defeat of the native soldiers, he immediately sent out five thousand cavalry to chase down Guishang's pursuers and control the disorganized native soldiers to prevent them from doing anything extraordinary.  He led most of his troops to fight against this disturbing force in the rear of Da Qin.  Seeing that the troops had gathered, Gola Khan whipped his horses in a very graceless manner in front of the Qin army, and directed the Kushan troops to retreat south quickly.  Of course, during the retreat, some of the cavalry in the rear made various insulting gestures to anger Da Qin's pursuers.  With how shrewd Zhao Yun is, how could he not know that the enemy is luring him?  Kushan's army had at least 40,000 cavalry and war elephant troops, but at this time, the number of people on the battlefield simply did not match the number, and the war elephants did not appear.  There is no better explanation other than an ambush.  But Zhao Yun had no choice but to order the pursuit.  He finally turned the enemy on the opposite side into a tired force. If he gave up this opportunity, he didn't know how long it would take to seize the opportunity again.  So even though he knew there was an ambush ahead, he had no choice but to command his troops to start the pursuit.  It is the best outcome to exchange the lives of a small number of soldiers for victory in the war.  And he onlyBeing able to say sorry to those soldiers who are about to lose their precious lives may be a sign of the general's helplessness.
