Chapter 446: Fight between trapped beasts

"Open the city gate quickly!"

Under the city of Gandhara, a scout covered in sweat shouted loudly.

"It's Zabu!"

The city gate officer immediately recognized the identity of the visitor.

"Open the city gate quickly!"

Seeing the embarrassed Zabu, the city gate officer quickly ordered the city gate to be opened.

"What happened to Zabu?"

As soon as the city gate opened, the city gate official quickly asked Zabu.

Zabu shook his head and did not answer his question, but weakly asked, "Gonza, send me to the palace quickly..."

Gonza was shocked when he heard this and immediately understood that something big had happened.

He did not dare to delay, and ordered people to close the city gate. One of them immediately took Zabu to the palace with two of his men.

"What, the entire army was wiped out!"

King Gandhara couldn't believe his ears.

"An army of fourteen thousand, a total of fourteen thousand people, how could they be wiped out by the Han army so quickly..."

"Damn...damn...even if there are 14,000 sheep, it's impossible to kill them all in such a short time..."

After the King of Gandhara screamed loudly, he collapsed on his chair.

He was still muttering: "It's over... it's over... Gandhara is over..."

Soon the entire city of Gandhara knew that the entire army that had left the city was annihilated.

The entire city of Gandhara suddenly fell into panic.

People were talking in fear.

"The 14,000-strong army was unable to resist the Han army's two-day attack. Now there are only 5,000 people left in the city. How can we be a match for the Han army..."

"There is no way to resist for two days. I heard that the actual battle was less than an hour..."

"What should we do now...I heard that the Han army is all demons..."

"The Han army has always been brutal... If the city of Gandhara cannot be defended, what should we do..."

"Let's run before the Han army arrives..."

"Run...where can we run?"

"You can go anywhere, but you can never stay in this city anymore..."

No one in Gandhara, from the nobles to the common soldiers, had confidence in defending the city.

Some nobles and citizens took the lead in fleeing from the city.

The Prime Minister of Gandhara was very anxious when he saw this, and he immediately rushed to the palace.

At this time, King Gandhara was still slumped in his chair, paying no attention to what was going on around him.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Gandhara couldn't help but feel angry.

He rushed forward and shouted to the King of Gandhara: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Only then did King Gandhara slowly come to his senses.

The Prime Minister urged again: "Your Majesty, should we fight or surrender?"

King Gandhara gave a bitter smile, with a look of pain on his face: "Whether it's war or surrender, is there any hope for Gandhara... I regret that I should have listened to the Prime Minister's words!"

Prime Minister Gandhara said: "Why is your Majesty like this? This is not the first time that I, Gandhara, have encountered this kind of situation..."

"In the past, the Persians... the Greeks... the Cypriots... were all powerful for a while, and I, Gandhara, managed to survive!"

"What's the difference between this big man and the Persians, Greeks, and Cypriots of the past..."

King Gandhara shook his head and sighed: "These big men are different from the previous generations. Not only will they conquer this land, they will also destroy our culture!"

Although King Gandhara was weak, his eyesight was still good. He was indeed a sensible person.

The Prime Minister of Gandhara said: "It is inevitable for civilization to replace barbarism... The Han Dynasty is more civilized than us... What's wrong with using the civilization of the Han Dynasty to replace the original civilization of Gandhara... Aren't we the same now?"

King Gandhara hesitated and said: "But I have heard that the Han people are not allowed to believe in ascetics!"

The Prime Minister said: "So what if you don't believe in Samanas? We didn't believe in Samanas a hundred years ago... We only converted to Samanas when we were forced by swords..."

"Your Majesty, as long as we Gandhara are still here, does it matter what we believe in?"

King Gandhara had gradually returned to normal at this time.

He sighed and said: "Prime Minister, do you mean to surrender?"

Prime Minister Gandhara said: "Your Highness, you think that relying on the five thousand defenders in the city can stop an attack by the Han army?"

King Gandhara shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The 14,000-strong army only resisted the Han army for two quarters of an hour. How could these soldiers in the city stop the Han army's attack..."

At this point, King Gandhara held his head in pain and whispered: "Surrender!"

…

"King of Gandhara surrenders!"

Pan Zhiqiang had just finished cleaning the battlefield and was preparing to march to Gandhara, when he received news from the vanguard.

"Yes, Captain, the King of Gandhara has surrendered! Marquis Zheng Jun has taken control of the palace!"

Only then did Pan Zhiqiang reveal a smile on his face.

"Send the order and the whole army sets off!"

Two days later, Pan Zhiqiang led his troops to Gandhara.

In accordance with the Han system, the king of Gandhara bound himself out of the city and surrendered to the Han army in public.

After Pan Zhiqiang took control of Gandhara, he immediately recruited 4,000 troops in Gandhara.

After resting for three days, he left a thousand Han troops in Gandhara, and then led his troops back to the city of Phkara.

…

In August of the second year of Yuanfeng, Zhang Yue massacred nine thousand prisoners of war and seven hundred monks on the north bank of the Kabul River, and built a Beijing temple on the north bank of the Kabul River.

The remaining prisoners were all incorporated into the signing army.

Rao's troops should change their flags and form the Dharabitha Army.

Three days later, Zhao Guanghan led 20,000 Han troops and 20,000 sign troops to attack Xunxian City, the capital of the Jibin Kingdom.

…

The Han army made great achievements in defeating Jibin, which made the Kushan people think it was an opportunity to completely conquer Southern Daxia.

Almost at the same time as Zhao Guanghan's northern expedition, the Guishang King Qiujiu personally led 80,000 Guishang troops to invade Southern Daxia.

Facing the rolling Kushan army, Southern Daxia was unable to resist, and the Kushan people soon occupied a large area of ​​land.

If there were no outside intervention, Nan Daxia, which had lost the aid of the Guibin Kingdom, would probably be completely conquered by the Kushans soon.

…

The last stronghold of the Darabid people in Arakosia.

After a month of training, the Darobida army was officially formed.

En and Batu reviewed the newly built army with satisfaction.

"On behalf of Darabi Tu, I, Enhe Batu, would like to thank the big man and Mr. Yang for their help..."

During the military parade, Enhe Batu kept thanking Yang You.

Yang You said calmly: "Your Highness, don't forget your promise to the big man..."

Enhe Batu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, Enhe Batu will never forget... and the people of Darobitha will never forget the kindness of the great Han..."

Having said this, Enhe Batu walked to the military parade platform and shouted to all the Darabidans in the audience:

"From today on, the people of Dharubida will always be loyal to the Han... and will never betray."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding Darabidans knelt down and swore to the Earth Alliance: "The Darabidans will be loyal to the Han forever..."

Yang You looked at the Darobida people shouting in the mountains with satisfaction.

Then he stepped forward, pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "The big man will also protect Dharabitha..."

After the two sides swore an oath, Enhe Batu and Yang You led the newly built army of 5,000 Darobida to set off first, and their destination was the city of Jabichi.

The remaining soldiers will protect the civilians of Dharubida and move to the land where they once lived...the Khyber Pass.
To be continued...
