Wei Yan chased Tulansha and others all the way, trying to disperse the rest of the Parthian soldiers as much as possible. Unfortunately, Tulansha blocked the rest of the way, and Wei Yan still failed to completely defeat the rest of the Parthian soldiers.
"Oh, it's a pity. These three guys from Tulansha are really tenacious." Wei Yan looked at the Kushan Army appearing on the horizon, especially the leader Urdu, and immediately lost interest in continuing to fight. Urdu
Strong, even very strong.
Of course, Wei Yan can also copy Urdu's mental image, but Wei Yan cannot maximize Urdu's mental image. He takes the path of gambling, while Urdu takes the fine path because of his own mental image. Mental imagery
Dissolution, after killing one of your own talents, concentrates all your power on the only elite talent, which means you have the foundation to fight against the three talents.
This was a very good mental image, but Wei Yan couldn't display his combat effectiveness even if he copied it. In addition, Urdu was famous for being cruel. After Wei Yan stared at the opponent for a long time, he still gave up. There was no need to do it at this time.
Fighting with Ur.
After all, the mission of the Han army was to defeat the Parthian formation with relatively small losses, capture more men, and completely cut off the hope of Ardashir. In fact, it seems that it has done a very good job now, and there is no need to create more complications.
Therefore, after surrounding Urdu for a few times and showing some momentum, Wei Yan slowly retreated. Urdu looked heavy when he saw the current situation. He did not understand at all that there was no problem with An Xi'an all the way.
Why did the legion collapse at the last moment?
Looking at the embarrassed Turansha and others, Urdu couldn't help but sigh, and gathered the defeated soldiers of Anxi first. Turansha watched Urdu and others feel sad, and they were really going to win right before their eyes.
How could I somehow get to this point? Just when I was about to touch hope, I was kicked back into the abyss of despair.
Urdu and Zasali did not despise Turansha because of this. Even at this time, they still needed to understand what happened. Weren't they all fine yesterday? Why did it become so bad after just one day?
Like this?
At the same time, the manpower brought by Ghaznius from the Bolun Pass to escort the grain and fodder and welcome the Parthian Army barely arrived here. But at this moment, Ghaznius and others who had come to join them excitedly looked at the people in front of them.
The remaining soldiers were defeated and fell into silence.
What happened, how did it become like this?
However, this is nothing. The so-called blessings and misfortunes never come alone. This is the case, because not long after the Urdu people gathered together, a secret message from Oswin of Beigui was delivered. Beigui and Cao Cao were in Kandahar.
He came back defeated in that battle.
The loss of more than 60,000 troops and the elite backbone of 11,200,000 soldiers were directly defeated by Cao Cao on the battlefield. Even if he tried hard to collect the defeated troops, as of the moment when Urdu was sent a letter to notify Urdu to return to Beigui, Beigui could only gather less than six soldiers.
Thousands of people collapsed.
According to Oswin's description, I am afraid that even if he continues to gather the defeated troops, the final total strength will only reach about 65,000. Coupled with the deaths of Kapil, Abhinan, and Sailuona, Beigui can be said to be a powerful force this time.
It was a heavy loss.
Faced with this news, Urdu's face was ashen. Everything was fine yesterday, but why did it suddenly become like this? What happened in the meantime.
Forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Urdu thought for a moment and decisively informed his troops to turn back to Kandahar to join Oswin and others.
Turansha and others deliberately wanted Urdu to wait in order to collect more defeated soldiers. After all, this is a desert terrain, and it is easy for the soldiers to escape when they are dispersed. However, due to water resources and other issues, they are unable to escape.
After that, they will merge naturally soon.
Therefore, Tu Lansha and others estimated that in addition to the soldiers captured by the Han army, they should be able to gather about 40,000 soldiers. After all, the Han army did not plan with the goal of killing.
Unfortunately, after Urdu took out the secret message delivered by the letter eagle, the faces of the three people in Turansha all turned green. What on earth happened?
Therefore, faced with Urdu's suggestion to retreat to the Helmand River crossing on the Kandahar side, the three of Turan Shah could only agree.
In this way, the three Urdus and Turansha carefully walked to the outskirts of Kandahar to join Ardashir and others. Although the Han army blocked them, they really couldn't stop Urdu and others. Until now
Except for Ghazni, who was an infantryman, the majority of this group of people were cavalry.
As a transport team, Ghaznavids carried a lot of livestock and could quickly become cavalry when needed. Therefore, a group of tens of thousands of people quickly passed through the outskirts of Kandahar, and within two or three days they and
Oswin and others successfully reunited at the Helmand River crossing.
Ardashir couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the remnants of Parthian troops with less than 30,000 people left. Fortunately, Tavasdes quickly spoke to comfort him. After all, the situation had reached this point. Being able to jump out of the fence and enter Beigui was considered to be out of trouble.
Well, as for the losses during the migration, we will talk about it later.
Ardashir was slightly comforted after hearing Tavasdes' explanation, but when he thought that his remaining elites had been reduced to such a small number, and that some of the generals' family members had been captured, it was impossible to maintain the previous trapped dragon ascending to heaven in any case.
An uplifting gesture afterwards.
Seeing this, Oswin couldn't help but sigh. Later, there was another problem with the food aid, so he suggested that Aldashir should not waste time in Kandahar and return to the Kabul Valley first, where he would carry out the handover of defense and then find another way.
Ardashir sighed after hearing this and could only nod. The problem is that at this time, the Guards Corps led by Bakza has not arrived yet, and Ardashir's own few manpower has further weakened. If possible, he
Still hope to wait for Bakza here.
But when I think about it, they are right under the Han army's line in Kandahar, and they really can't withstand the new round of attacks by the Han army. Although they still have strength now, they are really weak in the face of the Han army's offensive.
, so it is impossible not to retreat.
They did not retreat before because they knew that the Han army wanted to clean up the internal affairs of Kandahar and completely eliminate hidden dangers. In addition, they could not give up Urdu and the Parthian elites who came across the Lezistan Desert. Now that Urdu is back, the Parthian elites have collapsed.
There is no point in them taking risks and standing still.
"First retreat to the Kabul Valley. You can use the letter eagle to inform Bakza to take the Bolun Pass. It is relatively safer there. As long as you don't encounter the main force of the Han army in the desert, Bakza can take that way to enter the south, and then
It's no problem to take a detour back." Oswin suggested.
Ardashir nodded when he heard this. The situation had reached this point and it was impossible for him to continue to waste time here. This was unrealistic.
On the same day, Oswin and others quickly retreated along the Helmand River. The Han army's scouts observed this scene and came to report that all the Han army generals wanted to pursue them, but Cao Cao forcibly held them back. If they pursue them now,
, the defense of the Kushan rear army is extremely generous, and the soldiers returning home in mourning are not so easy to fight.
For Cao Cao, it was enough to complete the first stage of the goal and clean up the traitors in Kandahar, so that Cao Cao could completely free up his hands to fight. As for other things, he put them aside for now. In the past few times, he could only use a few
Isn't it because of the restriction of spies from the rear that we fought too much?
After the Battle of Kandahar, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu almost completed the purge of spies within Kandahar. If Cao Cao continues to take action in the future, he will not be as stretched as he was before, not to mention the young and strong prisoners captured this time.
Settlement is also required.
If Cao Cao had captured the Kushan soldiers before, it would have been difficult to deal with them, but now, there are quite a few Kushan people under their command. Naturally, there are many ways to arrange them, weakening the enemy and strengthening himself at the same time. This is the best mode of war.
.
"Miaocai and the others also won. Lu Boyan unexpectedly appeared in the Leqistan Desert. Together with Miaocai and the others, they defeated the last rest of the Parthian army. With a force of 20,000, they killed 7,000 of the enemy and captured 50,000."
Cao Cao was quite emotional when he saw the battle report. This battle report looked much more amazing than his battle report.
You must know that Lao Cao himself did not capture 50,000 prisoners. He killed more enemies, but the size of his troops that could not hold him back reached 100,000. This is completely different from the situation where Xia Houyuan and others only had 20,000 troops. Xia Houyuan's side was completely different.
It can be said that it was a great victory. Cao Cao can only be said to be a great victory.
"Weichang Wei beheaded the Parthian general Hafza, and after beheading the enemy chiefs, Miaocai and the others had the opportunity to defeat the Parthian army. Well, there was still a single legion to contain Turansha and others. Unexpectedly, they had been hiding from the enemy before.
The watertight Wei Wenchang actually has such strength." Cao Cao was very surprised when he saw the battle report, this was simply Wei Yan's special performance.
At first, Cao Cao thought that the defeat of the Parthian army was due to Xia Houyuan, and that Miaocai had given him a surprise. However, when he saw Lu Xun later, Cao Cao thought it was Lu Xun's plan. After all, Guan Hai had harvested Kapil's head, and when the soldiers united
After his death, Cao Cao knew about Lu Xun's arrangements for Guan Hai, so he also guessed that Lu Xun might come.
Therefore, when he saw the battle reports one after another, Cao Cao naturally thought that it was Lu Xun who brought about the opportunity for victory. Lu Xun's plan described in detail in the battle reports later did not surprise Cao Cao. It was normal for Chen Xi's apprentice to be like this.
It's not surprising that he has strong abilities. Except for the pity that he is not under his command, everything else is good.
However, at the end, the battle report took a turn. Although Lu Xun's plan was good, it did not completely destroy An'an. It was actually Wei Yan who destroyed An'an. Wei Yan blasted the opponent's center camp head-on, which led to An'an's death.
of collapse.
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, Wei Yan not only looks similar in appearance, but also looks similar in spirit!
