Chapter 1923: Stop the troops and make a truce, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger
Among the soldiers and horses sent by the Kushan Empire, there were 100 war elephant troops.
In the entire Kushan Empire, there are only a thousand war elephant troops, but this time, one-tenth of them were dispatched at once.
The number one hundred is of course an insignificant number on a very large battlefield.
However, don't underestimate these one hundred war elephants, this is already a quite large number.
Regarding war elephant troops in history, Pyrrhus used them and Hannibal also used this kind of troops, but at that time they only had a few dozen war elephant troops.
The Kushan Empire only dispatched one-tenth of its war elephant troops, but it had already exceeded the records of Pyrrhus and Hannibal in history.
The people of Yuanmeng are all on the prairie. For them, elephants are simply unheard of, unseen, and ununderstood. When they actually encounter them, of course they will not have effective countermeasures immediately.
.
The huge body of the elephant and the unbearable smell of the horses frightened the Yuanmeng cavalry, and the flanks of the Yuanmeng army were immediately crumbling.
The war elephants were decorated with terrible armor, and the men on the backs of the elephants drove them forward with thorn sticks. On the mounts on both sides of the war elephants, on one side were archers and crossbowmen responsible for conducting long-distance attacks.
On the other side are spearmen responsible for dealing with nearby enemies.
Li Xiang doesn't mind sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, but he still has to prevent the Kushan Empire from being like those dishonest people in the Western Regions, who can be defeated every time under superior strength. Therefore, he still has to do a good job.
Be prepared to intervene at any time.
Therefore, Guishuang will definitely have to fight Yuanmeng next.
After the Jin army has sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and restored its strength, it can seize the food from the tiger's mouth and explore the interests of Central Asia.
The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions began to have wars after Yelu Dashi entered the Western Regions. Until the Soviet Union later conquered the West and established Xizhou, the wars have almost never stopped until now.
With the size of a war elephant, this creature has rough skin and thick flesh, and is covered with armor on key parts. It is conceivable that the impact it produces is not comparable to that of a war horse.
Now, it's time to take advantage of this opportunity and retreat. Sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers is better than participating in it themselves!
Moreover, with Yuanmeng's current aggressiveness, Guishang certainly would not think that the occupation of Kangju would be the end. A very likely result is that after Yuanmeng occupied Kangju, he would continue to attack
Take action against Kushan in one step.
"That's right! After fighting for a long time in Xizhou, we are already exhausted. Why not take this opportunity to stop fighting and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers and tigers!" Wei Yang also nodded in agreement at this time.
Moreover, after Yuan Meng suffered such a loss at the hands of Guishang, he must have found a way to regain his position.
"Yes! Tell Su Dingfang to restrain his troops and call a truce!"
"What's the situation in the Qing Dynasty?" Li Xiang thought of the situation in the north and asked casually.
Compared with the shortcomings of war horses, war elephants only have problems with speed and reaction.
As long as the Manchu side is over, Li Xiang can naturally withdraw the troops from the three states, enter a state of comprehensive recuperation, and make full preparations to launch the southern war.
Of course, as one of the four great empires, Kushan has a broken ship and three pounds of nails, so it will never be that bad!
"Invite Huo Qubing to return to Xizhou, but you still need to be ready for war at any time. If the war situation in the west is unfavorable, intervene immediately!"
The three states of Bing, He and Liang went out of the fortress in order to buy time for the Manchus to solve their own problems!
As long as the Manchu problem is solved, the situation of three kingdoms will be restored on the grassland. In this case, Temujin will not have the opportunity to unify the entire grassland in a short time. At most, it will be Xu Xutu.
Of.
"My lord, Dorgon's Western Qing Dynasty has Huang Taiji in the east and Tuoba Wei in the west!"
"Your Majesty, the Kushan Empire is not weak, let alone Yuan Meng to test its strength!" Zhuge Liang suggested.
Of course, in a battle between two powerful forces, even if both sides do not suffer losses, it is likely to result in a loss of 1,000 to the enemy and 800 to oneself in the end.
Although Li Xiang sent out manpower three times in a row but failed to contact the Kushan Empire, he still knew from the few words he knew that this empire was quite powerful.
Perhaps the people of the Central Plains in the past would regard those places in the Western Region as completely barbarian lands, but after Temujin's conquest of the west, even if they still thought it was a barbarian land, it was still a valuable barbarian land.
Zhuge Liang even hopes that the Kushan Empire can be strong enough. If the Kushan Empire is strong enough, and Yuan Meng is also in a period of exhaustion after years of fighting, maybe the Kushan Empire will really be able to expel Yuan Meng.
Central Asia.
After so many years of fighting, how could the Jin army have continued to fight like this if it hadn't been for the blood transfusions from behind?
The Jin army's expedition to the west was not to be trapped in the flames of war.
Not to mention the various resources of that place, the bloody horses, etc., just the millions of people, wouldn't it be nice to have them in your hands?
Furthermore, Yuanmeng has conquered so many territories in the past few years, relying on strong force to deter him. If he suffered a big loss in the hands of Guishang but could not regain his position, those who had been conquered by Yuanmeng would
A country is bound to have people's thoughts moved.
"Huang Taiji wants to unify the Qing Dynasty, and Tuoba Wei wants to take advantage of it. With enemies on both sides, it will be difficult to last long!" a courtier reported.
The war elephant troops, which were completely unknown to the Yuanmeng people before, played a decisive role in this battle.
Isn’t this, isn’t Yuan Meng the best thug?
Yuanmeng wants to occupy Kangju, and although Kushan has gradually lost control of Kangju and other places in Central Asia, it does not mean that they will ignore this matter.
However, the Jin Dynasty does not yet have a true understanding of how strong the Kushan Empire's national power is. To find out this situation, using a war to test it is undoubtedly the best way.
Moreover, this was news some time ago, and the latest news about the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet reached Yizhou. At this moment, the situation about Dorgon will only become more unoptimistic.
"That's fine, damn Dorgon!" Li Xiang became extremely angry when he thought of Dorgon, the troublemaker.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of this troublemaker, the already stable pattern on the grassland would not have been suddenly interrupted. Tuoba Wei's original steady style would not have really taken action against the Manchus, so much so that it developed to
