Ardashir nodded when he heard this. Although he was still worried, Bankim did give him a reassurance.

Bactricia, Kandahar, and Kabul, and Beigui's main core cities are basically in hand. Moreover, these places are famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, they can raise the flag to recruit young and strong people. Compared with the dilemma of the Caucasus period, the current situation is much better.

"That's the situation." Bankim nodded to Ardashir. He brought the words to him. To be honest, it is not important for Bankim whether Kandahar can be won. Kushan only needs Ardashir here to make the Han Dynasty unable to pass.

As for the others, if Ardashir can defeat Kandahar, but cannot, it will not affect Kushan's strategy. After all, as long as Ardashir is here, Kushan can ensure that nothing will happen in the north, which is enough for Kushan.

But out of awe of the Han Dynasty's power, Bankim felt that after taking Kandahar with the advantage, Aldashir had more room for reversal.

The same is true for Ardashir. In fact, after the Kabul Valley, it has actually far exceeded Ardashir's previous goals. However, if you can get more territory, Ardashir is naturally willing to gain more strategic depth.

Therefore, Ardashire, who was originally willing to exert eight points, was willing to exert ten points in the next place, so as to gain a better living environment for the future.

Although Osven and Kapil didn't understand this very well, Bankim's detailed explanation actually made the two understand the core of this thinking. This is a matter of mutual benefit, so they are not at the highest level. They did not raise any questions when thinking from a strategic level, and they just needed to leave the matter to these top wise men to handle it.

As for the details of the supply of food and grass, how to hand over, Bankim did not mention these, and they all need to be dealt with after the war is over.

Ardashir also understands these, but the big framework is confirmed, so Ardashir is willing to do his best to make this happen. Even though he understands why Kushan arranged him here for, he has to admit that this is indeed a very good choice.

Compared to relying on others' alms, here, at least relying on one's own strength and one's own value, the former can give up oneself at any time, but the latter is a mutual benefit, and it is beneficial to everyone.

"Since that's the case, let's go to the Han army camp first and contact Salman to see if we can take down the Han army's fortress." Osven clapped his hands and spoke to the people.

Although according to Osven's estimate, it is basically impossible to capture the Han army fortress at this time. After all, Cao Cao led a large number of elite troops into the fortress. He had not attacked before, and it would be even more difficult to attack now.

"Advance the army first, attack the Han army fortress in front and back." Kapil also agreed very much. He took the Han army fortress and opened up their retreat. In this way, no matter whether it was going west to attack Kandahar or retreating to the Kabul River Valley, there was no worries.

After several people finished discussing, the Kushan side had also cleaned the battlefield, buried the Han soldiers and Kushan soldiers who should have been buried on the spot, and then recycled the armor and other things one by one. It can be said that this battle was the biggest victory since the battle between the Kushan and the Han Dynasty, and a large amount of materials were seized.

When the entire army reached the Han army fortress, Osven could even hear the shouts of killing on the east wall of the fortress. It was obvious that Salman was still siegeing the city, but it was impossible to defeat him.

"Send a notice to Salman and ask him to hold the camp and retreat a little. The main force of the Han army has retreated to the fortress." Osven sighed and said to Kapil. Kapil pointed a little when he heard this, and then arranged someone to deal with the matter.

"Speaking of this, my horse is still in the mountain, please find a way to get it out." Osven sighed and said. He was a Sun Knight before, but he gave up his horse in order to cross the mountain and became a Sun Warrior. Now that he has freed up his hands, it is better to get the horse out as soon as possible.

"Why did it take you so long to come?" Urdu sent someone to the mountain to help Osven find horses, and turned around and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"The mountain road here is too complicated and I can't walk. If I hadn't heard your shouts and killing, I would have moved my heart. To be honest, I wouldn't have caught up. The mountain road here often bypasses a mountain and there would be no road." Osven said with a dark face, "To be honest, if I hadn't forced to cross the mountain, I wouldn't have come here at that time."

Kapil's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and Aldashir also understood why he arrived first. Fortunately, although there were many accidents, he finally got the result they wanted without hesitation.

"I have sent a message to inform Tulansha and others that they had to retreat from Herat to Kabul. With them joining forces, although the Han army in Herat City is not weak, I think we can arrive in Kandahar on time." Aldashir said excitedly.

"In this case, we will solve Kandahar together." Osven's expression was also very excited. After all, after fighting so many times, it was considered to have pressed down the Han army's bull head. The Kushans were not vegetarians, and they were successful.

Kapil lowered his head and thought. He vaguely grabbed something before, but he didn't figure it out, so he was a little absent-minded when he heard the two of them communicate.

On the other side, on the fortress, the morale of the Han army was obviously sluggish. After all, the previous battle could not be said to be a victory no matter what. Zhang Xiu, Xiahou Dun, and Pang De combined a total of more than 6,000 losses, Xu Huang and Kabech were nearly 3,000 losses, more than 4,000 shield guards, and other fragmented losses on the front lines, the Han army suffered nearly 15,000 losses.

It can be said that this is the biggest loss since Cao Cao went abroad, and the overall loss of Kushan and Aldashir was even about half that of the Han army. This kind of war loss ratio is almost unheard of for Cao Cao, so great that it even needs to write a letter to explain it personally.

After all, since Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty has never been beaten to such a terrible battle. Even when Zhou Yu faces Awende and Selyan, he is not at least not so miserable. He is attacked on the front battlefield and then defeated.

"What are you discouraged? It's okay, Kushan's strength has been brought out. Even if they want to become stronger, there is no possibility of becoming stronger. We still have enough backup plans to face this situation." Cao Cao was not defeated by major losses at all, and still maintained his due demeanor, and even had the spare energy to mobilize the spirit of his soldiers.

"Speak good news first." Cao Cao encouraged his morale and told Xun Yu about his plans. The morale of the army that had originally fluctuated due to the defeat in the war was much more stable. It was obvious that with such a guarantee method, the generals and schools under his command were much more stable.

Although people like Zhang Xiu felt frustrated inexplicably and worked hard for so long, they still needed Xun Yu to come out and clean up the mess, but they naturally developed peace of mind and human instinct.

Xun Yu actually relaxed the control of clouds and water in the upper reaches of the Helmand River since last night, and a large amount of water vapor accumulated in the rainy season was released. Therefore, today, the Helmand River had already seen a surge in water.

However, this kind of water rise is not very obvious, because the rainfall is falling upstream and requires a certain amount of accumulation. Moreover, it is not time for siltation yet. However, this speed is very fast. Xun Yu has begun to actively drive the rain clouds in the rainy season to carry out large-scale rainfall. At this speed, in less than a few days, the river water will flood and silt.

Of course, the most powerful thing is that it is raining upstream. There is no rain here at all, and the ground is still dry. The flood siltation is gradually silting under the Han Dynasty fortress. When the early changes were not obvious, Kushan even felt that God helped me.

Because the flood silted in front of the fortress destroyed the soft foundation and eroded the city wall, it may lead to the collapse of the fortress wall. In addition, the flood silted in this way has been proved before that it can directly impact the city wall with the help of floods, which is absolutely good news for Kushan in the early days.

This is also the reason why Xun Yu believed that Kushan would not have been wary of this at all, but after three or two days, the flood actually accumulated, and the mountain torrents caused by heavy rains in the upstream also irrigated from the upstream, Kushan actually lost the basis for coping.

At that time, how Cao Cao wanted to play with Kushan was not something that Kushan was happy or not. After all, when the flood came down, Cao Cao stood on both sides of the city, and at most he felt a little uncomfortable, but Beigui was behind the fortress. If he could withstand it, he would see the ghost.

Therefore, this guaranteed strategy is very effective while being ruthless. At least after it is formed in front of the opponent, the opponent has no way to deal with it.

"So I can hold on for a few days." Cao Cao comforted the general under his command.

The next day, Kapil thought hard until he saw a Sun Knight under Osven demonstrating how they came here, Kapil suddenly reacted.

"I thought about how to defeat the Han Dynasty." Kapil said to Osven with a crazy smile. Osven was stunned and looked at Kapil with some confusion.

"It is difficult for us to capture the fortress, but we can actually bypass the fortress. The biggest difference between the pass fortress and the city is that the city is a city that is located on the main traffic road and surrounded on all sides, while the pass fortress is actually two walls, crossing the cliff wall." Kapil said with excitement as he looked at Osven.
