The first thousand three hundred and ninety-nine chapters arrive
Chapter 1399 Arrival
Delhui saluted Bulvitt, and looking at the empty city, he was also a little puzzled.
"You have also seen that the Chinese have withdrawn. What do you think?"
Bulvitt glanced at Delhui and asked him directly for his opinion.
"It's a bit strange for the Chinese to withdraw."
Del Hui couldn't help but frown slightly. He was at a disadvantage here and the other party had no reason to leave easily. Why did he retreat now?
"I also know what's wrong. What do they want to do?"
Bulvitt naturally knew something was fishy, otherwise why would he ask Delhui about it.
"There are many reasons. The most likely reason is that reinforcements arrived. We didn't know about it but the Chinese discovered it, so they evacuated early."
Delhui thought about it and the only thing that could explain the current situation was this reason. The reinforcements had arrived, but we just didn't know about it.
“Where are the reinforcements?
His Majesty the Emperor’s reinforcements?”
After hearing Delhui's explanation, Bulvit couldn't help but think of a big question, that is, will the emperor of the Kushan Empire send reinforcements?
Anyway, he didn't believe it. After all, the opponent didn't have many soldiers and horses. If ten thousand or twenty thousand were not enough to quench his thirst, it would be impossible for him to do so with one hundred and eighty thousand.
"I understand, but now Daxia Province is the front line of the Kushan Empire against China. It is very important here. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will not be reluctant to leave it now."
Although Delhui also understands this situation, the Daxia Province is now the frontline of the Kushan Empire. If it cannot be resisted here, the Chinese army will be one step closer to the capital of the Kushan Empire.
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is very possible, but our current situation is that we have to face hundreds of thousands or nearly one million Chinese troops. If we want to rescue, we will need at least one hundred thousand troops. I don't believe that His Majesty will bite the bullet and send someone here."
Even though Del Hui said this, Bulvitt still shook his head. He really couldn't think of any reason why he would have 100,000 reinforcements.
"If it weren't for His Majesty's reinforcements, there would be only one possibility."
Now that Bulvitt analyzed it like this, Delhui's brows knitted together. If it weren't for the Kushan Emperor's reinforcements, there was only one possibility.
"Everard from the Amu Darya Defense Line has brought his men back."
Bulwett also knew this possibility. It must be Everard from the Amu Darya defense line who brought someone back, and this was the only one.
“Evrard of the Amu Darya?
We didn't send anyone to inform them, so they probably don't know what's going on here."
Helmata glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't send anyone there, so how could they come back.
"If we don't tell Everard, we can't guarantee that the Chinese people will get the news. If Everard hears that Bakrat City is under siege, he will definitely abandon the Amu Darya defense line and come to support Bakrat with all his strength.
After all, Bakrat is the heart of Daxia. If this place is captured, even if they defend the Amu Darya River, it will be in vain."
Delhui glanced at Hermata. The current situation is not just a matter of not calling for support. The Chinese are not stupid either. Why do they want to come from Khwarezmo? Why don't they stab the Amu Darya defense line in the back?
To attack the key points, fish out the soldiers and horses from the Amu Darya defense line and annihilate them on the move.
"Then you mean that Everard has withdrawn from the Amu Darya River now?
Should we send someone to inform Everard and ask him to hold on to the Amu Darya defense line?"
Hearing Delhui's explanation, Helmata also understood that if this was the case, let alone whether Everard could successfully reach Bakrat, the millions of Chinese troops on the other side of the river alone made him a little scared.
.
"It's too late. If it's as we guessed, Everard's people should already be on the way, and the Amu Darya defense line must be gone."
Delhui shook his head. It is simply impossible for you to send people over now. Once they leave, the Chinese people will definitely not give themselves a chance. It will only take a moment to break through the Amu Darya River.
"Then what should we do now?
Are we just going to wait?"
It's wrong to leave the person, and it's wrong not to leave the person. Helmata is also depressed, and he doesn't know what to do now.
"All we can do now is pack up and hope that Everard can return safely. If he is sniped by the Chinese cavalry on the road, everything will be over by then."
Vespit glanced at Helmata, what can they do now?
Apart from waiting, the only thing left is to pray and pray for God's blessing. If the Amu Darya defense line is lost, it will be lost. However, there must be no problem with these hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise the entire Bactria province will really be over.
"Let us pray for Everard and the others."
"God bless and bless Everard for his safe return."
"I hope the gods will not abandon the Kushan people."
Seeing Vespit starting to pray with his hands, everyone around him did the same. They clasped their hands together and began to pray to the sky, hoping that God would bless Everard for his smooth return.
After everything was done, Vespit shook his head, walked down the city wall under the escort of his personal guards, and returned to his prince's palace.
"what to do?"
Seeing Prince Vespit leaving, Helmata couldn't help but glance at Delhui.
"what to do?
Tell the soldiers to prepare, we can't wait until Everard comes back, there will be no place to rest."
After speaking, Delhui also shook his head and walked down the city wall, leaving Hermata alone and messy in the wind.
"General, what should we do?"
The personal guards came to Helmata. Now that the prince and the Great Xia Prime Minister are gone, what should they do?
"What to do?
Just do whatever you have to do, send people to tidy up the military camp immediately, and hope that Everard’s people can return smoothly.”
Helmata was also depressed, shook her head and walked down the city wall.
Although the Chinese army has withdrawn, the city of Bakrat is still in full swing. Those who are building trebuchets are building trebuchets, and those who are cleaning up their camps are cleaning up their camps. As for what will happen next, it depends on God's will.
Everard was on tenterhooks as he walked. Nearly 100,000 people marched slowly, and finally saw the walls of Bakrat City.
"I'm coming."
The people on the city wall were all excited when they saw the crowd appearing in the distance.
"Where, where."
After hearing the news, Hermata also climbed to the city again and looked into the distance.
"Right over there."
A sharp-eyed man pointed at Everard's army in the distance and reported to Helmata.
"Do you want to open the city gate now?"
The personal guard glanced at Hermata and wondered if Everard's people had returned, so they would open the city to welcome them.
"Don't worry, wait until they arrive."
Although he saw people and horses in the distance, Helmata did not dare to open the city gate now. If Chinese soldiers and horses opened the city gate now, it would be a big loss.
As time passed, Everard finally brought his soldiers and horses to the city of Bakrat.
"Helmata, please open the city gate quickly."
Looking at the closed city gate, Everard pointed directly at the Hermata on the city wall and asked him to open the city gate.
"It's really Everard, open the city gate."
Glancing at Everard under the city wall, Helmata nodded and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let them enter.
"Crunch."
As the gate opened, Everard led a group of generals outside the city gate.
"Everard, thank you for your hard work."
Helmata saluted Everard. Although both parties had equal status, the other party rushed back from the Amu Darya defense line to rescue him. This friendship alone was priceless.
"No hard work, where is your Royal Highness? Didn't it say that Bakrat was surrounded by enemies? Where are the people?"
Everard also saluted Helmata and expressed his doubts at the same time.
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words. It turned out that we were indeed surrounded by the Chinese, but they suddenly evacuated. The prince guessed that you might have led your troops back."
Helmata also told the situation here.
"?
?”
Hearing what Helmata said, Everard immediately had an ominous premonition. Could it be that they were being plotted against?
"I won't go into details. His Highness the Prince is waiting in the palace. You can bring a few generals with me to meet him. As for the soldiers, I have also arranged a place for them to rest."
Seeing the question mark on Everard's face, Helmata didn't know what to say. The only thing she could do now was to take them to see Prince Vespit.
"Let's go and see His Highness the Prince."
Now only Prince Vespit can help them solve their doubts.
Soon Helmata left the city gate with several generals, Everard, Trapp, Alencourt, and Harkett, and ran towards the Prince's Palace, while the remaining soldiers were guarded by special personnel.
He led them to the camp for training.
"Prince, General Helmata and several generals Everard are outside the house asking for an audience."
Several people arrived outside the prince's palace, and naturally some of the guards went in to report the situation to Vespit.
"Please come in and make arrangements for the banquet. I want to take care of them."
Upon hearing that Everard and the others were back, Vespit directly let them in and prepared a banquet to welcome everyone.
Soon Everard and the others entered the prince's palace under the leadership of his personal guards.
"Hermata pays homage to His Highness the Prince."
"Evrard pays homage to His Royal Highness."
"Alencourt pays homage to His Highness the Prince."
A group of five people saluted Vespit together.
"Okay, everyone, get up, thank you for your hard work."
Vespit walked up to Everard and patted the dust on his body, with a sad look in his eyes.
When the army didn't come back before, he prayed in his heart that the other party could arrive at Bakrat City smoothly and safely. Now that they are back, he has to worry about the Amu Darya defense line again. It's really like one wave after another.
.
"It's not hard, Your Highness. Did I get attacked when I returned from the Amu Darya defense line?"
Everard is a smart man, and Hermata's words at the door made him suspicious. Along the way, he kept thinking whether he had done something wrong or whether he had fallen into the opponent's trap.
It's a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"Hey, this matter is hard to describe. We were indeed besieged by the Chinese, but we never thought about asking for help. We wanted to rely on the defense of Bakrat City to resist the enemy's attack, and we didn't want to shake the Amu Darya defense line, but the Chinese
But people informed you for us."
Vespit glanced at Everard. After all, the current situation was like this, and the other party would know about it sooner or later.
"I see. If that's the case, the little tricks I deployed on the Amu Darya defense line should be useless. The Chinese should have broken through there by now and are now heading towards Bakrat."
After hearing Vespit's explanation, Everard finally understood that the Chinese people had long been eyeing their Amu Darya defense line, and this time they just took advantage of the opportunity to break through there, so his little tricks would not work at all.
Can't stop the opponent.
"Hey, there is nothing we can do about it. Who said we are not as strong as the other side? They can fight however they want now. We can only respond passively. Fortunately, you brought all the soldiers and horses back, so that I can fight
There is greater certainty that Bakrat can withstand the enemy's attack."
Looking at the depressed Everard, Vespit hammered the opponent's breastplate hard, indicating that the opponent did not need to be upset because he was deceived out of the Amu Darya defense line.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Regardless of whether Vespit was sincere or fake, Everard was still very happy to hear this.
"Okay, let's pass on the banquet. We won't go home until we get drunk today."
The words have made sense, and there is nothing to do next. Eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to drink, and let these hard-working generals wash away their dust.
These generals are very popular here in Vespit, but the sergeants who came with them are a bit unsatisfactory. Although Bakrat City has high walls and wide walls, it has become an isolated city after all. These soldiers just entered the city, not only did they not
In the imaginary welcome banquet, even the military rations they brought with the army were collected and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Prince's Palace.
Looking at the rations in their hands, the men of Mengshan Army and Kelan Army were speechless. After all, they were imperial soldiers and troops of Daxia Province. But Bolzinwick and the mercenaries under his command quit.
These mercenaries are not motivated by any national interests. The reason why they come here to fight and shed their blood is not to eat chaffy vegetables here, but to enjoy big fish and meat and enjoy life.
Now they are risking their lives to fight from the Amu Darya defense line to Bakrat, just to eat these for themselves.
Bolzinwick was not a good person. He commanded 10,000 Roman mercenaries, and his combat power was absolutely fierce. When he got angry, the remaining Roman mercenaries and Parthian mercenaries were all angry, and they directly followed
There was a conflict between the logistics staff delivering the meals.
