Chapter 6059 The Jin army is coming

The senior officials of Kushan knew that if the Jin army was allowed to continue like this, not only would the crisis in Peshawar not be relieved, but it would make Kushan fall into an even more critical situation. Once the Jin army invaded other cities in Kushan, they would be completely destroyed. If Peshawar is isolated, how much can it accomplish even if there are 100,000 defenders in the city.

This kind of persistence is the Kushan people's unwillingness to give up and the Kushan people's pride. However, it is a different matter when the strengths of the two sides are not comparable.

The emperor of Jin was ambitious, and he definitely wanted to completely annex Kushan and achieve his goal. What kind of movements the soldiers and horses of the Parthian Empire would have would probably affect the development of the situation in Kushan.

Xiangtai Pass, as one of the great passes of Guishang, has blocked the invasion of the Parthian Empire for many years, making it difficult for the Parthian Empire's army to affect the stability of the Kushan interior. On the battlefield where the Parthian Empire and the Jin State jointly attacked Guishang this time , Xiangtai Pass also played a huge role.

It's just that the defeat of Anguanya made the situation in Guishang urgent and prevented Guishang from being able to do more in the face of the Jin army's attack. This situation made the role of Xiangtai Pass even more important.

If the Parthian Empire's army breaks through Xiangtai Pass, it will pose a further threat to Kushan and even worsen the situation in Kushan.

The joint attack of Jin and Anxi posed too great a threat to Guishang. Although the Jin army has broken through the defenses of Anguan Cliff, Xiangtai Pass is still holding on. In this way, they are resisting the enemy. .

Abaotu, the guard of Xiangtai Pass, was born in the royal family and had a prominent reputation in the Kushan Empire Army. Of course, Abaotubizhiye Khan's contribution to Kushan was still a little small.

However, Ye Khan lost Anguan Cliff, which worsened the situation in Kushan. Abaotu, who guarded Xiangtai Pass, became the backbone of the imperial army and placed high hopes on the empire's top brass.

At this time, Xiangtai Pass had accumulated a large amount of food, grass and baggage, enough to consume an army of 30,000 men for a year. This was an important capital for Abaotu to resist the enemy.

Abaotu is well aware of the war taking place in the interior of the Kushan Empire. Although he is anxious, the current situation at Xiangtai Pass is terrible. Even if he leads his troops back, what effect can he have? Occupied by the army, it is a nightmare for the Kushan people.

There is a lot of hatred between Anxi and Kushan. When the city of Kushan fell into the hands of the Anxi army, it caused too much harm to the people of Kushan.

Relatively speaking, although the Jin army's attack brought a lot of trouble to the Kushans, there was no indelible hatred between the Kushans and the Jin army. The Jin army still had a kind side in treating the Kushan people. of.

Although the Kushan and Jin armies are in opposition,

However, the actions of the Jin army won the respect of many Kushan soldiers.

Of course, it was just respect. The Jin army was the party that invaded Kushan. If the two sides met on the battlefield, it would definitely be a fight to the death.

Xiangtai Pass was once again attacked by the Parthian army, but Abaotu did not panic at all. He had withstood such an attack for an unknown amount of time. Although the enemy army had offensive weapons such as gunpowder, with the strength of Anguan Cliff, , there is absolutely no problem in blocking enemy attacks.

Besides, there are a large number of Thunderbolt Chariots in Xiangtai Pass, and there are also solid checkpoints, which can often cause considerable damage to the Parthian army when they attack.

From the time the Parthian army launched its attack to the present, more than 10,000 Parthian warriors have been killed on the battlefield, 80% of which were lost during the attack on Xiangtai Pass.

This situation made An'i's generals more hostile to Kushan, and even threatened that after Xiangtai Pass was broken, no chickens or dogs would be left in the city.

Such remarks made the Kushan defenders work harder to stop the attack of the Anxi army. They knew that the Anxi army could do such a thing.

When the Parthian army broke through Xiangtai Pass, it was a real disaster for the defenders in the city.

Abaotu has rich experience in commanding operations and has been tempered by war, which has allowed Abaotu to grow rapidly. Now the attack of the Parthian army seems fierce, but it cannot bring more damage to the defense of the Kushan army. threaten.

Abaotu is most concerned about the Jin army that has already arrived in Peshawar. This is the most powerful place in the battle against Kushan. If he wants to fundamentally alleviate the bad situation in Kushan, he can only defeat the Jin army on the battlefield. .

Of course, if the Jin army can be defeated, the territory of the Kushan Empire can be restored again, and the combat effectiveness of the Kushan Empire can even be improved for a long time, and the combat methods can also be further developed.

Abaotu knew clearly that there was a reason why the Jin army was able to march straight into the battlefield of Guishang and fight vertically and horizontally. It was very difficult to win when facing the Jin army head-on. If not, why did Ye Khan Will fail on the battlefield.

In terms of commanding soldiers in combat, Abaotu did not think that he was more powerful than Ye Khan. Ye Khan was the benchmark in the Kushan army and could not be surpassed.

However, just such a general suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Jin army, which made the situation in Kushan deteriorate so much.

There was anger in A Bao Tu's heart, but after receiving the order, what A Bao Tu needed to do was to ensure the stability of Wangze City while holding on to Xiangtai Pass.

Abaotu had already received news of the Jin army's actions west of Wangze Lake. At this time, all the cities west of Wangze Lake fell into the hands of the Jin army. This completed the complete siege of Peshawar.

In order to resolve such an action by the Jin army, it is necessary to achieve a hearty victory against the main force of the Jin army. In this case, the siege of the Jin army will not only be ineffective, but will actually help the Guishang army. .

But when fighting against the Jin army, it was too difficult to win.

"General, this is the news from Peshawar." The deputy general hurried over and handed a letter to Abbot.

Abaotu opened the letter with a heavy expression. After seeing the contents of the letter, he didn't look very good.

Abaotu had received news before that it would be best to reconcile with the Parthian Empire and use the Jin army's invasion in the hinterland of Kushan to create a gap between Parthia and Jin. However, such behavior did not have the expected effect. .

The letter sent from the royal city this time made Abaotu feel heavy.

The deputy general saw that Abaotu looked wrong and asked, "General, what happened?"

"The Jin army is coming." A Baotu said.

The deputy general was slightly stunned, Jin Army? Isn’t that encircling Kushan’s capital city? How did you come to Xiangtai Pass?

"The Emperor of Jin personally led troops and horses to Xiangtai Pass. The minimum number of troops dispatched was fifty thousand." A Baotu said.

The deputy general said anxiously: "If this is the case, wouldn't Wangze City and Xiangtai Pass be in danger?"

"Yes, it is too difficult to defend Wangze City. At this time, Wangze City is empty, and the Jin army is approaching the city. They can quickly defeat Wangze City," Abaotu said.

"What should we do?" The deputy general couldn't calm down.

Abaotu said: "You will know whether it succeeds or not after trying it. Let Aldaban know and I will meet him outside the customs."

"General, it is dangerous outside the pass at this time. If you rush out of the pass, you may be taken advantage of by Artaban." The lieutenant general advised.

Abaotu said: "There is no time. If we don't do this, not only Wangze City will be lost, but Xiangtai Pass and Kaihe Pass will fall into the hands of the Jin Army and the Parthian Army."

"My subordinates will take care of it now." The deputy general also realized the urgency of the matter and left in a hurry.

Looking at the topographic map in front of him, Abaotu fell into deep thought. This plan for the royal city is not without danger. If this plan does not succeed, not only Wangze City will be lost, but the Kushan Army at Xiangtai Pass will also be lost. It is inevitable that if this confrontation fails, who in the Kushan territory can stop the advance of the Jin army and the Parthian army.

It is inevitable that the Jin army and the Parthian army are suspicious of each other. The more important reason is that the Jin army gained a lot of benefits in Guishang, while the Parthian army only suffered losses and gained very little. Xiangtai Pass has not yet been breached.

The Jin army, which had powerful offensive methods, did not provide corresponding support to the Parthian army when it attacked Xiangtai Pass.

Such a situation will naturally make Anxi's army dissatisfied. Now that the Jin army is taking so many actions in the hinterland of Kushan, it would be the strangest thing for Anxi to say that they have no objection after knowing about it.

The Parthian Empire's military strength is also strong. If a hundred thousand troops are dispatched in this war, instead of gaining nothing, they watch the Jin army reap so many benefits in Guishang. The top officials of Parthia will definitely not let go. Through Artaban.

Due to both emotion and reason, Artaban will take the initiative to fight for it in this war.

And this is also the key to this plan. It can be said that whether Kushan can be continued has a lot to do with this plan.

The emperor of Jin personally led his troops here, which is enough to show that the emperor of Jin attached great importance to the war at Xiangtai Pass.

Peshawar, the capital of Kushan, was besieged by the Jin army at this time. However, the emperor of Jin handed over the war in Peshawar to his generals and came to Xiangtai Pass in person. How could it not be shocking?

There are many rumors about the Emperor of Jin. The Emperor of Jin fought on the battlefield many times, and the Emperor of Jin had unparalleled prestige among the Jin army. After many years of fighting on the battlefield, the Jin Emperor The country has such a strong situation, and such a monarch is worthy of awe.

The Emperor of Jin did not personally take action on the battlefield in Guishang, but he showed strong martial arts on other battlefields. Facing such a monarch, Abaotu must be cautious.

There are also rumors that the Jin army will have careful deployment in battle. When facing the Jin army's battle, it is necessary to consider whether the Jin army has other means on the battlefield. When these means are deployed, what effect can they have on the battlefield? Such impact.

War is unavoidable at this time.

Outside Xiangtai Pass, among the Parthian army, Artaban was in a bad mood, especially the news coming from Kushan one after another, which made Artaban furious. The generals in the army even cursed the Jin army's actions.

What the two sides negotiated was to use Peshawar as the boundary to divide Kushan equally. Now it seems that the Jin army has clearly forgotten the previous agreement. In the hinterland of Kushan, they have captured cities in large numbers. Who knew that these cities would fall into the hands of the Jin army? What kind of situation will happen in their hands? Will the Jin army obediently hand over the city to the Parthians in the future?

Besides, whether the wealth of these cities was transferred to the Jin army or not, these will make the Anxi generals have a lot of guesses.

Artaban was a very powerful person in the Parthian Empire, and many wars were fought through the hands of Artaban.

The joint Jin army's attack on Kushan was facilitated by Aldaban. If the Parthian Empire failed to gain enough benefits in Kushan by sending out a large army in this war, and instead suffered a loss of troops and generals, Aldaban would The name of the class will definitely be greatly affected.

This situation was something Artaban did not want to see, but facing the fortified Xiangtai Pass, the Parthian army paid a heavy price during the attack and still could not break it.

The power of gunpowder is amazing, but the Xiangtai Pass is so strong that it cannot be broken by gunpowder, and the quantity of gunpowder provided by the Jin army is not very large.

When the Jin army attacked Anguan Cliff before, they also adopted a frontal attack instead of using gunpowder to defeat it. This shows that gunpowder has limited effect when encountering a solid barrier.

"Prince, there is news from inside the pass that Abaotu will meet the prince outside the pass tomorrow." A general rushed over and whispered.

Artaban's brows furrowed. "Meet with me? Okay, I want to see what Abbot's plot is. "

Abaotu made an outstanding contribution in blocking the attack of the Parthian army. In this war, he performed particularly tenaciously. From the reaction of the Kushan defenders, it can be felt that the Kushan army was here. During this war, it grew rapidly. This situation made Artaban feel powerless.

The losses suffered by the frontal attack on Xiangtai Pass were too great, and in such a war, it only restrained the Kushan forces and helped the Jin State to gain benefits in the Guishan interior. How could it be done? Artabanus was in a good mood.

At this time, another news came that the Emperor of Jin had led his troops and horses and rushed to Xiangtai Pass.

The Anxi generals were very excited after hearing the news. The Emperor of Jin led his troops here, definitely to break through Xiangtai Pass. When Xiangtai Pass is broken, Anxi's army will be able to vent their anger in Guishang territory. The successive wars made the Parthian soldiers angry, and they needed victory in the war to release them.

After receiving such news, Artaban was keenly aware that something was wrong. The emperor of Jin personally led the army. Was it to help the Parthians break through Xiangtai Pass, or to occupy more cities.
