The closed terrain of Kabul gave the soldiers stationed in Kabul a considerable sense of security, but on the other hand, in this closed terrain, it was enough for Barak to show up at the city with his elite soldiers and his wife, Princess Qinghe.
This illustrates another problem, that is, the northwest entrance of Kabul has been broken.
This is a horror that the longer a local lives here, the more he will understand.
"Surrender." Balak looked at the gatekeeper who was still struggling on the top of the city, and said with a bit of a sigh, "You all know the terrain of Kabul. It is self-evident that I can come in.
Well, I am also a member of the Da Yuezhi, and I don’t want to be stained with too much blood of my own family. Let’s open the city gate, I don’t want to waste time.”
"What evidence do you have!" Chengmen Ling struggled, but in fact he knew very well that what Balak said was very correct. When the other party appeared here, it would be enough to prove a lot of things.
"I'm just explaining. Besides, I didn't come by myself. I came with the princess." Barak said with a touch of melancholy.
Balak is willing to bring Cao Wan with him. From a certain point of view, it has proved the fact that he will definitely win. If he does not win, it is impossible for Da Yueshi to bring the princess with him. In addition, it is not easy to do so.
I came to Kabul once, just to visit the graves of my ancestors and let them live happily under the Nine Springs. He, Balak, was the man who fulfilled the centuries-old wish of the great Yuezhi.
"I am Cao Wan, the princess of Qinghe County." Cao Wan, who was wearing a poncho and a bamboo hat, had already driven his horse to the side of Balak. The expressions of the Yuezhi generals and soldiers on the city wall became extremely complicated. Only they understood this.
This kind of feeling, and they also realized that Balak was willing to talk to them, was really just because they were all from Da Yuezhi.
After all, it is impossible for a big Yuezhi to put his princess wife in danger, and now that Balak and Cao Wan are here, there is nothing else to say.
"Open the city gate." The city gate order was finally suppressed. As for the Parthian soldiers who stayed here, it was impossible for them to resist the Yueshi natives who were dozens of times larger than themselves.
"Does this mean we have captured the city?" Cao Wan had an expression of disbelief on her face, and followed Balak to the county seat here. Kabul is not big, and there are only a few county towns here, one in Kabul Province.
As a result, Balak now captured the county seat near the northwest entrance without any bloodshed.
"It's normal. After all, we showed up here with a large army. The terrain of Kabul is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is the knowledge that all of us have constantly popularized to the Yuezhi, and it is also a fact recognized by all the locals." Barak passed through the city gate.
With a bit of emotion, he said, "However, this kind of knowledge has become too popular. When everyone agreed, we led the army to break through the northwest mountain road that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and appeared in front of them. The clearer our minds are.
The more local people give up the struggle.”
When the Taliban invaded Kabul, the U.S. imperialists gave up their struggle. What the hell, the local political forces supported by the U.S. imperialists simply blew themselves up and there was no need to fight. Although there were some other factors involved, Barakga County
The presence of the Lord is enough to rival these so-called other factors.
Therefore, when the army arrives here, as long as Balak shows a certain attitude, it will not be too difficult to deceive the city. After all, Balak is indeed a local, and Cao Wan is indeed the princess. Under such circumstances, the situation is over.
Once it is laid out, the locals will follow the trend and go down if they are not stupid.
"General Barak." Carlo, who was stationed in this county, was already waiting for Barak at the gate of the government office with his seal. When he saw Barak appearing, he held up the seal with both hands and handed it to Barak, and then saluted respectfully and loyally.
He does have the freedom, but he doesn't have to commit suicide for the sake of Ardashir. He can still live by following Barak.
"Carlo, you are not a soldier now." Cabbage looked at the tooth general who once belonged to his command and said with some regret.
"General Cabbage." Carlo saluted respectfully, "I didn't expect you all to come together. It seems that General Ardashir is gone, but that's right, the army has arrived at my place."
"I thought you would stick to the defense, but I didn't expect you to offer the city directly." Barak looked at Carlo and said, "Normally, since you voted for Ardashir, you should be loyal no matter what."
"Do you think there are still many people in my city?" Carlo sighed and said, "Aldashir left with the main force before, and also took away some of the garrison troops. The strength of the troops is seriously insufficient. If we insist on holding on, we will not be able to survive.
If you can’t keep it, you might as well keep your dignity.”
"Very good, now write a letter to notify the other three counties in the northwest and see if you can persuade them to vote." Barak glanced at Carlo. The other party should actually know their strength by now, but it's done.
At this point, there is nothing left to say.
"I tried my best, but the effect may not be very good. After all, they haven't seen the army, and I don't recommend sending letters to all three counties, because there is flooding in the east, and Tulansha is still over there, and even if they don't see it now,
I have surrendered, but I also need resources and rescue." Carlo sighed in his heart. He knew that he had boarded a pirate ship, but at this point, there was nothing left to say.
"Then let's go." Barak said with a calm expression, "Next, I will take over the defense system of the county wall and wait for the arrival of the main force of our army."
Carlo stopped talking and acted like a tool obediently. He began to send letters to the three places next to him. With the attitude of doing the best and not being defeated, a county magistrate actually agreed, and then he took the county captain and
The local young reserves gathered together and prepared to vote for Barak.
However, at this time, Kabul County has received news of Barak's invasion. Even if Ardashir is not here, Tavasdes has developed a fever due to the cold rain, and Turansha has also gone to the northeastern county for disaster relief and other issues.
, Gorgan, who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, also immediately sent someone to notify Ardashir, and he gathered the main force to attack the county seat occupied by Barak.
Kabul is not a big place, the entire river valley is less than 5,000 square kilometers, and the city of Kabul is close to the center, about a hundred kilometers away from the northwest entrance, and the county seat occupied by Barak on the northwest entrance
, it will be more than ten kilometers away from the northwest entrance.
This is also the reason why Ardashir was able to arrive so quickly despite the heavy rain. On the other hand, if it had not rained, Ardashir would have definitely been able to kill the Han army before they broke through the northwest entrance, completely blocking the Han army's breakthrough.
Possibility of Kabul.
However, the core factor for the launch of this battle lies in the weather. The Han Dynasty controlled the weather and was able to successfully break through into the Kabul Valley.
Similarly, Barak was able to quickly reach the county town here with his army because of the short distance.
But on the other hand, this place is close to the northwest entrance and quite far from Kabul County. The distance between the two cities is about 90 kilometers. If it is a sunny day, Gorgan's rescue should be completed within an hour anyway.
We have arrived, but now it is raining heavily, and it is a heavy rain with cold fog. Even if Gorgan is a heavenly being, it is impossible for him to arrive here within an hour.
This gave Ballack an opportunity to operate.
"Send this letter and this seal to the front line." Barak said with a smile, "Based on the current situation, it will take about two or three hours for the reinforcements from Kabul to arrive, and the reinforcements from the northwest entrance of Kabul
, it won’t take more than an hour for Ardashir to come over, and we need to shake his mind first, well, maybe if there are other counties that seek refuge, we can use our chips to overwhelm Ardashir without having to fight at all.”
"Is that so?" Cao Wan lowered her head and thought. She actually has a pretty good mind. Plus, being born in a family like Cao's, even if she doesn't want to understand many things, she will be forced to learn by the environment, so some of her mental abilities,
Cao Wan can understand things like tactics.
"Well, this seal will make Ardashir realize that the rear is captured by us, but it is just a seal of a county. I believe that Ardashir's mind can still hold on. If there is a second seal,
It is enough to prove that we are aggressively attacking cities and territories, and Ardashir will have to turn back when the time comes." Barak explained to Cao Wan with a smile.
"Can't we forge the seal?" Cao Wan immediately thought of this shortcut.
"No, because it's easy to find loopholes in forged things. We can't determine how these seals made by Aldashir are protected against counterfeiting. Because of me, all the seals here have been reset."
Lark said helplessly.
If these seals are not reset, Barak can open Wushuang alone and go straight in. But after changing the anti-counterfeiting, Barak will make fakes based on his own experience, and it is easy for loopholes to appear, and if this happens now
The loophole will not only not affect Ardashir's mind, but will also make Ardashir think that this is a Han Dynasty strategy.
Although there is some theory, this is indeed a strategy of the Han Dynasty, which is to make Ardashir think that a large number of the main force of the Han army have descended from the sky and are attacking his hometown, forcing Ardashir to give up garrisoning at the northwest entrance of Kabul.
, then retreated for rescue, and allowed Xu Huang and his party to enter the Kabul area.
The Han army is currently using only 10,000 generals. In this case, if this strategy is not used to force Ardashir to retreat, the fight between Xu Huang and Ardashir at the northwest entrance of Kabul will inevitably end.
It's a lose-lose outcome.
The problem is that Xu Huang suffered heavy losses and failed to enter the Kabul Valley. The two thousand people on Barak's side were of no use under the siege of the main force led by Golgan.
Without the main force of the Han army arriving here to garrison, even if Barak could fight, he would be worn out sooner or later by the generals like Ardashir.
Therefore, it is the correct idea to deceive Ardashir and let Xu Huang come in to join him.
One thing to say is that as long as Ardashir is sure that the Han army has really begun to capture the city in the Kabul Valley and quickly captured two counties, Ardashir will have to withdraw quickly, because if he does not withdraw, the Han army will
After completing the overall blockade of the northwest entrance, it will be a flanking attack from the front and back, and the entire situation will be to annihilate Ardashir.
More importantly, once the Han army quickly captures two counties, it means that the Han army has a large-scale main force in the Kabul Valley. The defense system in Kabul, which is known as a natural barrier, has already developed loopholes that can be bypassed. Alda
Hill must find this loophole before he can continue to defend.

In this case, Ardashir would most likely abandon the mountain road northwest of Kabul, allow Xu Huang to enter, and lead his troops to retreat, waiting to determine the entire situation before attacking.
Here comes the problem. Kabul's natural defense line has no loopholes at all. Ardashir withdrew, which meant giving up the county seat occupied by Barak. When Xu Huang and Barak met in the county seat, Ardashir realized that he had been deceived.
After that, it would be too difficult to conquer the county seat again.
The follow-up only needs to wait until the 40,000 elite soldiers led by Xia Houyuan, Cheng Yu and others arrive. Cao Ang has completely secured the northwest entrance of Kabul. The follow-up strategy no longer needs to consider the most difficult natural hazard issue. The war will directly focus on Kabul.
Inside the river valley.
In this way, even if Aldashir has the power of heaven, there is no good way to do it.
"Bellona, arrange your manpower to send the seal to Aldashir, and then send someone to inform General Cao that I have captured the county seat here, and let them take a look at the changes in the Ardashir front.
Can you take a gamble?" Barak handed the seal to Bellona and said solemnly, this is related to the next victory or defeat.
"The last general will swear to the death to complete the order." Bellona replied loudly, and then left quickly with the seal. After Balak saw this and arranged Cao Wan, he climbed onto the city wall in the rain with his sword and began to do his best in the rain.
Arm your defenses.
Soon, an incredible news was delivered. When Barak heard the news, he looked ecstatic. Sometimes, luck really works, and this time he brought his wife with him. The ancestors began to exert their strength below,
There was actually a county magistrate who decided to seek refuge with Barak after receiving Carlo's message. According to that magistrate, Ardashir oppressed the locals, and all the young men in their county were big-headed soldiers who did not allow anyone to survive.
It's better to rebel against him!
The other party said that he would personally lead local young men to join Balak, and in order to win Balak's trust, he even directly sent over the county magistrate's seal.
Barak didn't believe that Ardashir had bullied the locals, causing all the local young men to be big soldiers with no promotion channels. Even Barak suspected that the magistrate of this county wanted to launch a surprise attack or something. After all,
While he, Balak, was envied by Da Yuezhi, he also had a lot of jealousy and hatred, so there were also people who wanted to seize the opportunity to kill themselves.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the magistrate who came here really wants to rebel against Ardashir or has other ideas. What's important is that the magistrate sent the seal first in order to win his trust.
It is not completely proven that the Han army has a main force that is rapidly attacking cities and territories in the Kabul Valley. Doesn't this put pressure on Ardashir?
"Don't worry about that county magistrate for now, Cabbage. Take this seal, bring people with you, and quickly let Aldashir know that we have won another county." Barak faced Cabbage with a sinister smile.
Qi ordered, a county seal, maybe
It was an accident. A small group of Han troops broke in and captured the county by surprise attack or deception. But if there were two, it was completely different. Moreover, such a small time interval meant that the Han army
At least the troops were divided into two groups to attack Kabul.
Considering that two counties were captured in such a short period of time, there might be 20,000 to 30,000 Han troops in the Kabul Valley. Once this possibility appeared in Ardashir's mind, Barak did not believe it.
Ardashir's brain is not boiling!
"Yes, General, I will send this item to Ardashir in its entirety." Cabbage replied loudly, and then quickly left with several key members carrying the seal.
At the same time, Ardashir had received news that the main force of the Han army had captured a county seat in the Kabul Valley. Because the letter was sent, a little comparison and confirmation would be enough to prove its authenticity and the fall of the county seat.
, doubling the pressure on Ardashir.
But as Barak had thought before, just the fall of a county town was not enough to overwhelm Ardashir. After all, withdrawing at this time would be equivalent to letting Xu Huang lead the Han army directly into the Kabul Valley.
By then, if Xu Huang is to be solved, it may not be the fall of a county town.
So after receiving the intelligence, Ardashir gritted his teeth and ordered a strong attack. At this point, he could only fight back with heavy losses, and Xu Huang fought back first, and then guarded the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley, mobilizing his elite troops to annihilate this insurgent army.
Know how the Han army appeared inside the Kabul Valley.
However, he just captured a county and came to threaten him. The opponent's troops would not be too large. When the time comes, our main force will rush up and take it directly. After all, this is his home base of Aldashir.
The siege equipment is still very complete. After the weather clears up, we can just go all out. Now we need to defeat Xu Huang first.
At this time, Xu Huang also received the news that Barak had captured a county town. He also guessed the mentality of Aldashir and mobilized all the elite soldiers to counterattack and attack without thinking. I would rather suffer heavy losses.
I will never go back!
For a time, the intensity of the fighting at the northwest entrance of Kabul increased sharply, and the casualties on both sides increased rapidly. However, this situation did not last for more than half an hour. Both Xu Huang and Ardashir received the second intelligence, and Barak took another victory.
A city.
Ardashir was extremely silent at this moment in the cold rain.
It slipped away. It seems that I am one of those people who cannot save the manuscript until the last moment. Sigh.
