Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 6052 Ye Khan’s conjecture

Because Lu Bu did not want to share the territory of Guishang with An'an, but gradually encroached on Kushan when the fighting forces of the An'an Empire had not entered Kushan. By then, even if An'an's people fell out, could they still be in the Jin army?

It's impossible to take advantage of others.

Before, Lu Xun went to the Parthian army as an envoy and had the conditions to carve up Kushan. In the end, if you really believed in such a thing, you would be stupid. I am afraid that even Artaban did not really believe it. He could only get it by relying on his own strength.

The city is the most secure.

Just imagine, when the Jin army occupied the city, would they obediently give up control of the city?

Outside Peshawar, a spectacular scene appeared. The Jin army was building something.

After receiving the news, Ye Khan hurriedly came to watch. After thinking about it, he believed that this was a measure for the Jin army to divide its troops and attack other cities in Guishang to avoid the defenders from going into battle.

In the Jin army, there are a large number of combat weapons such as repeater crossbows and bed crossbows. These combat weapons can cause great damage to the Kushan army in frontal combat. At this time, the Kushan defenders

It is also difficult for the army to go to war.

What Ye Khan needed to do at this time was to drag the Jin army to death on the battlefield in Kushan, so that the Jin army would eventually return without success.

The Jin army has extraordinary actions outside the city. Don't pay attention to it for the time being. As long as the internal defense is strong enough, even if the Jin army's combat methods are fierce, they will not be able to cause harm to Peshawar.

The atmosphere in the city seemed to have gradually become more relaxed after the Jin army stopped attacking.

The fly in the ointment is that the Jin army is outside the city at this time and may attack Peshawar at any time. In view of the powerful offensive capabilities of the Jin army, no one is sure whether it will be able to attack Peshawar when the Jin army's attack is launched.

Can the city wall be broken through Peshawar?

Once Peshawar falls, these Kushan people and Kushan nobles will become prisoners of the Jin army.

The life of the nobles in the city is much more miserable than before, but what is even more miserable is the people in the city. Being a soldier in the army is easy to say, no matter how you eat, you can guarantee your survival, but as time goes by,

The Jin army showed no signs of retreat, and even began to be busy outside the city, which inevitably made some people worried.

If this situation continues for a longer period of time, the people in the city will be the first to be unlucky. Their food will be exhausted first, especially for herding families. Such a life is the beginning of disaster.

The top brass of Kushan care most about the stability of the city at this time and will not care about the life and death of ordinary people. If the city is breached, everything will be over.

One month later, a simple city wall was built outside Peshawar. It was said to be simple, but in fact it was not simple.

This wall has a lot of shooting holes, which are prepared for bed crossbows and repeating crossbow carts. The bed crossbows and repeating crossbow carts can just be put down. In this way, the soldiers who control the bed crossbows and repeating crossbow carts can be more efficient.

of safety.

If encountering an enemy attack, the catapults and crossbows would quickly retreat. As long as the enemy dared to appear, they would be greeted by the swords and guns of the Jin soldiers.

Such a design excited the Jin army's continuous crossbowmen and bed crossbowmen. They were even more looking forward to the enemy's attack. However, judging from the current situation, the enemy would not be dispatched easily. They stood firm in the city.

It was too late to stop the Jin army's attack. How dare they leave the city easily?

Fighting against the Jin army was a nightmare for the Kushan soldiers. If the Kushan side could win on the battlefield against the Jin army, the current situation would not be the same.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is strength. If you do not have the corresponding strength, you will pay a heavier price in the war, and even suffer more losses after the war is over.

The Kushans' encounter in this war is actually a good illustration. The Kushans originally had strong strength, but after the failure of successive wars, their territory has been greatly challenged. Now even the capital Peshawar

, also fell into the siege of the Jin army.

It is good to have a hundred thousand troops in the city, but these defenders dare not go out of the city for a head-on confrontation with the Jin army. Compared with the Jin army, their elite level is far behind.

The Jin army, which has a proud record, needs more victories. When more cities around Kushan fall into the control of the Jin army, what is the significance of Peshawar's persistence? If the attack on the Jin army fails,

It seems that in the end it can only become an isolated city and can only be conquered by the Jin army.

However, on the current Kushan battlefield, the situation is complex and changeable. All kinds of things are possible. It is reasonable for the people of Kushan to still have expectations for the future war. Who can be sure that the Anxi Empire and the

There will be no conflict between the Jin and Jin states because of interests. Who can be sure that the Parthian Empire's army will persist on the battlefield in Kushan.

If Anxi retreats, the pressure on Kushan will be reduced drastically, and it is possible to repel the Jin army.

It is undeniable that the activity of the Jin army in Kushan has put a lot of pressure on the top management of Kushan, and the lives of many people in Kushan have been affected by this. When these people in Kushan became members of the Jin army,

After becoming a member, they can get a relatively stable life, even be protected by the Jin army, and can trade with Jin merchants. Under the temptation of these conditions, the people of Kushan will resist the rule of the Jin army.

Woolen cloth.

Officials from the Jin State have already rushed to Guishan. They will manage the cities occupied by the Jin army and use reasonable means to make the people of Guishan have a sense of belonging to the Jin state and prevent them from resisting the rule of the Jin army.

In the past, Jin's army won victories in wars, and the success of the governance methods adopted by Jin's officials was a good experience.

It is precisely because of this that the senior officials of Kushan are more worried. The city of Peshawar is strong and can block the successive attacks of the Jin army. It can also prevent the Jin army's gunpowder from having a significant effect when attacking.

But when Peshawar is completely isolated, what will happen is unpredictable.

The strong strength of the Jin army showed great value in such a situation. Obviously the Jin army did not have an advantage in numbers, but the siege of the Jin army made the defenders of Peshawar dare not move, and they could only watch helplessly.

Watching the Jin army build a simple wall outside the city.

If this simple city wall were placed head-on against the Kushan defenders, the damage it could cause to the Kushan defenders would be terrifying.

The Jin Army's combat methods themselves are sharp, and when the Jin Army has such protection when facing a head-on battle, it can provide more safety for the Jin Army's officers and soldiers, and it can also allow the Jin Army's equipment to exert greater power.

Come.

In terms of the speed of development, Kushan cannot compare with Jin.

The Jin army captured the enemy's city, managed it more rationally, and built roads to make transportation more convenient and Jin's rule more convenient. These can bring practical benefits to the people.

Now that Wusun, Dayuan and other places have become the territory of the Jin State, there is very little resistance. On the contrary, they have a sense of belonging to the Jin State. The Jin army fought in Guishang, and these places provided a lot of cattle and sheep.

The current Jin State has an absolute advantage against the Kushans. As long as this strategy is carried out, the situation of the Kushans will become even worse.

So, in January again, 50,000 Jin troops rushed to the outside of Peshawar.

This was the first large-scale reinforcement that came after the Jin army entered Guishang. The Jin army numbered 50,000 people, which brought quite a shock to the defenders in the city.

From the movements of the Jin army, the high-level officials of Kushan saw the confidence of the Jin emperor. Even though there would be a lot of losses on the battlefield in Kushan, they still wanted to break through the capital of Kushan, and even more, they wanted to completely defeat Kushan.

's destruction.

Nowadays, communication between Kushan and the outside of the city has been completely cut off. The final order issued is to let the defenders of Xiangtai Pass do their best to stop Xi'an's army, and have the right to mobilize troops and horses to open Heguan and Wangze City.

There are 40,000 Kushan soldiers in the three divisions, which are more than enough to stop the 100,000-strong army of Xi'an. The key is that after the fall of Peshawar, only relying on Wangze City to support the combat needs of the 40,000-strong army,

How difficult it is.

After such an order was issued, the Kushan leaders were ready to defend Peshawar. Even if there would be many difficulties in this war, as long as they could withstand the Jin army's attack, Kushan could continue.

, are all worth it.

Fifty thousand Jin troops arrived and rushed to other cities around Peshawar. This was an army dispatched by the Jin army to strengthen the garrison in Kushan.

At this time, outside the city of Peshawar, there were more than 100,000 regular Jin troops fighting. With Wangze Lake as the boundary, the Kushan army in Peshawar and Wangze City was completely cut off.

To the east of Wangze Lake and to the west of Xinghua River, these are the richest areas in Guishang. At this time, except for Peshawar, all fell into the hands of the Jin army.

The Jin army's combat strategy is very simple. The Kushan people want to be a tortoise and defend the Jin army from attacking Peshawar. The Jin army wants to take more extreme measures to take the most prosperous area in Kushan as their own.

If these places can be stabilized and used by the Jin army, the Jin army's operations in Kushan will be more lasting, and the pressure on the transportation of grain, grass and baggage will be less.

The atmosphere in Peshawar was not as heavy as before. The Jin army outside the city seemed to have forgotten the Kushan garrison inside the city, and only adopted a garrison strategy. Even the Thunderbolt Chariot rarely launched an attack.

However, Ye Khan's mood became increasingly heavy. Although there was no news from other cities, the movements of the Jin army and the mobilization of troops and horses gave Ye Khan a very bad feeling.

The Jin army must have a big plot, and as for what such a plot is, it is difficult for Ye Khan to figure it out in a short time.

Cutting off all contact with the outside world is related to the Jin army's construction methods outside the city. At this time, the Jin army has formed a counter-siege of Peshawar. If the Kushan defenders leave the city, they will suffer

Jin army's attack.

It was obviously a strong city, but it fell into this situation. Those who didn't know it thought that the Jin army outside the city was to protect the stability of Peshawar.

Outside the city, a defensive measure was once again built. Although this caused a lot of consumption for the Jin army, it made the Jin army's battle easier. They only needed to keep an eye on the defenders inside the city.

The Jin army's combat pressure was much lighter, but the pressure on Ye Khan was increased.

Faintly, Ye Khan seemed to understand something.

In the palace, after Ye Khan expressed his conjecture, the atmosphere in the palace became unprecedentedly solemn. The top officials of Kushan looked at each other in confusion. Even the queen was no longer as calm as before.

"Prime Minister, what are the chances of this happening? Does the emperor of Jin really dare to do this? My people in Kushan are not easy to bully." The Queen turned her attention to Prime Minister Aluqi.

Aluqi said: "Queen, based on my subordinates' understanding of the Emperor of Jin, this matter is very likely to happen, and the general's worries are justified."

"General Abaotu is stationed at Xiangtai Pass. He has 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He can only get support from Wangze City. If the Jin army occupies all the cities east of Wangze Lake and west of Xinghua River, they will use various methods.

, if these areas are stabilized, they will become the basis for the Jin army's operations. In this way, Peshawar will completely become an isolated city. Even if the king orders it, there will be no way to save it. The emperor of Jin's move is the intention

Completely wipe out Kushan."

Mentioning this, the Prime Minister's voice was choked with sobs. He watched helplessly as the powerful Kushan gradually declined. Such a mood was something ordinary people could not understand.

An official said: "Is the Prime Minister a little too worried? Even if the Jin army can occupy the cities around Peshawar, it will be impossible to rule the people of Kushan."

"It's not true. Wusun, Dayuan, Kangju, etc. are all nomadic peoples with strong folk customs. However, after the rule of the Jin army, how many rebellions occurred? The scale of these rebellions is not worth mentioning.

, and now these places have gradually stabilized, providing considerable support for the Jin army's campaign." Aluqi said.

The audience fell into silence. They had an understanding of the Jin army's fighting methods and the development of the Jin country. If the emperor of the Jin country really adopted such a strategy, the richest area in Guishan would completely fall into the trap.

In the hands of the Jin army, these wealthy areas accounted for half of the Kushan territory.

With the city garrison and the Jin emperor's governance strategy, these cities and the surrounding Kushan people could gradually stabilize. The Jin army did not plunder or kill these people. Although the previous battle between the Kushan army and the Jin army

The losses were heavy, but it was a war between countries.

Gradually, these people will forget their hatred. Even if there are warriors who remember this, how much waves can they make under the rule of the Jin army.
