The huge war drums resounded throughout the sky again, and Wen Chou, who was already ready, also raised his iron gun.
"Charge, capture the Kushan Emperor, and show off our power in China."
After giving the order, Wen Chou also took the lead, riding his horse ahead, crossing the gap opened by the trebuchet, and rushed into the city of Gambilas.
"Capture the Emperor of Kushan and exalt our power in China."
"Capture the Emperor of Kushan and exalt our power in China."
"Capture the Emperor of Kushan and exalt our power in China."
After hearing Wen Chou's words, the morale of the Huwei army under his command was also high. They roared and followed Wen Chou into the city of Gambilas.
Behind the Huwei Army were countless Chinese soldiers, Kang Ju, and infantrymen from the Western Regions, all of whom charged in with roars of tigers.
"Rumble."
Just when the Chinese army entered the city and the Kushan army retreated, Qihabna had already taken the lead and rushed outside the main hall with more than 10,000 armored cavalry.
"General, why are you back?"
The guards outside the main hall saw Qihabna returning and couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't the opponent fighting on the city wall? Why did he come back now?
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way."
Qihabna dismounted directly, pushed away the guards in front of him, and rushed into the hall with long strides.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The East City was attacked by Chinese trebuchets. General Mifulet committed suicide and died in the city. At this moment, General Bunitz is leading his soldiers to retreat. I will take the lead to cover your Majesty's breakout."
Without waiting for Vesudeva I to speak, Chihabna knelt down on one knee and told the current situation.
"What did you say?
The East City was destroyed, and Mifulite committed suicide and died in the city?"
Hearing Chihabna's words, even Vesuthiva I, who was the emperor of the empire, was startled and doubtful. He immediately stood up from the throne and stared at the other party to confirm.
"Your Majesty, do I dare to joke about this?
Please clean up immediately and break out with me."
Qi Habuna just wanted to scold her at this moment. What the hell is this time? She might make such a joke. The country is about to perish and the emperor is acting like a monster.
"No need to clean up, Ha Zi, let's go."
Vesudeva I had nothing to say, and he didn't punish the other party for the crime of disrespect. If he is obedient to power now, then he really is not worthy of being the emperor.
"yes."
There is also a look of relief in Harzi's eyes. Whether he wins or loses, he only knows that his legs can finally be freed.
Soon a carriage pulled by eight horses appeared outside the main hall. This was the special carriage of Vesudeva I. The eight-horse carriage was the most noble symbol not only in China, but also in Kushan.
"Rumble."
As soon as Vesudev I got on the carriage, he heard the thunder of horse hooves, and Tefurat rushed to the outskirts of the palace with more than 10,000 cavalry.
"Your Majesty, I just heard that the East City was captured by the enemy. General Mifulet died in the city. The city of Gambilas has been unable to resist. I specially led the cavalry to escort your Majesty to break out."
Tefrat dismounted directly, saluted the carriage, and at the same time stated his purpose.
"The whole army is preparing to move towards Nancheng, but now is not the time to break out. My infantry are still in the city and my people are still fighting. How can I escape first?"
Vesudeva I opened the curtain of the carriage and raised objections to the two men's idea of escorting him out of the encirclement.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. Chinese soldiers and horses may arrive at any time. If you wait for the infantry to arrive, once you are overtaken by the Chinese, it will be impossible to break through under attack from both front and rear. You are the leader of a country. If
If you fail to break through successfully, then the empire will have no chance at all, Your Majesty."
After hearing what Vesutiva I said, Tefurat knelt directly on the ground. What the hell are you? The emperor of the Kushan Empire. We can die. It's okay. If the soldiers and horses are dead, it's okay. We can recruit again. If you are captured.
Or be killed, then the empire will really be doomed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have a noble status. If something unexpected happens, the empire will be over. Let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Qihabna also knelt on the ground, trying to dissuade the other party from breaking out with him.
"No, no, we have too few soldiers and horses. If we wait until the infantry joins, the cavalry can be the vanguard. After the passage is opened, the infantry can escape with the army. If we go first now, it will be difficult for the infantry to break through the Chinese defense line. Even if we then
If we really succeed in breaking through, what's the use of relying on just this cavalry?"
Although the two said so, Vesutiva I also had his own considerations. Now there is indeed a high chance of breaking out of the siege, but if he really breaks out, he is still a lost dog, but if he can break out with the infantry, he can still
Defending the city can still resist the Chinese army. As long as the snow falls and the temperature changes, he still has a chance to win.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about this. You are the foundation of a country and must not make any mistakes. Our soldiers are retreating now, and the Chinese people must have noticed it. The only direction we can retreat to is the south gate. If they
Arrangements will be made. When you and the soldiers turn around, the Chinese people will be ready. Not to mention bringing all the soldiers and horses to break through, whether you can break through successfully is another matter."
Tefrat glanced at the current situation and was extremely anxious. He would have to plan for the future now. Let's save his own life first. If he delayed it until the Chinese people reacted, let alone lead others to run away.
I will be buried here.
"Is it really going to be like this?"
After hearing Tefrat's words, the vision of Vesutiva I dimmed instantly. If he breaks through now, these soldiers will have no hope at all. This is already their last strength. If they are all lost here, then the empire will really
There is no resistance left.
"Your Majesty, you must stop being subject to this chaos."
Qihabna also knelt in front of Vesudeva I. He was the opponent's imperial guard. He didn't know anything else. Protecting the emperor's safety was more important than his life.
"Let's go."
Vesudeva I looked at the two generals kneeling in front of him and felt depressed. They were right. He was the emperor of the empire and could not cause any problems.
"Your Majesty has an order to break through to Nancheng."
After hearing that Vesuthiva I was finally convinced by him, Tefulat stood up directly and announced that his army would break out towards the south gate.
"Your Majesty, now the main force of the army and the soldiers and horses near the west gate should be mobilized to the south gate. Now that the east city has been captured by us, Gambilas cannot be defended. The Kushans will definitely retreat, and the only choice they can make is through the south gate.
Evacuate Gaofu from the south gate."
Tian Feng took a look at the current battle situation and immediately saluted Yuan Shu.
"Well, that's how it is. Immediately order the cavalry to advance first. The enemy also has armored cavalry and light cavalry. They will definitely protect the Kushan Emperor and evacuate first. The only one who can deal with the cavalry is the cavalry. Even if they can't take Vesuthiva I
Next, we must reduce his troops as much as possible to create opportunities for Zilong to intercept."
As the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Yuan Shu naturally understood the importance of the emperor. Even if Vesuthiva I did not want to leave, his generals would lead him to evacuate. Because the emperor is the foundation of a country and cannot be lost, so the other party would definitely lead the cavalry first.
Breakout.
"I'll make arrangements right away."
After hearing what Yuan Shu said, Tian Feng agreed with him, saluted directly, and then sent an order to the army to intercept the Kushan Emperor.
Soon the cavalry around Yuan Shu kicked off their horses and started to move towards the south gate. A famous messenger also ran wildly, notifying the Xicheng soldiers and horses to gather towards the south gate to strengthen the defense force there.
Bunitz and Pamir led the army down the city wall and wanted to lead the army to evacuate towards the palace. Only then did they realize that they had taken it for granted.
The soldiers who got off the city herded the sheep in an instant. They also knew that there was no hope of defending the city and that the empire might be over. They would be really stupid to follow Bunitz and leave.
"General, what should we do now?"
Looking at the soldiers running around, Pamir felt that he was in a mess. After all, he and Bunitz did not have enough prestige. Bunitz was the infantry general of the Imperial Guard, and Pamir was just Mifret's deputy. If Mifret now
Here, things will definitely change a lot.
"what to do?
What else can we do now? Lead the troops and horses we can control to evacuate towards the palace."
Bunitz did not expect this to be the case. He still overestimated himself a bit. The only thing he could do at this time was to lead the soldiers who were still around him to fight against Vesutiva I.
"yes."
Bunitz took the remaining heavy armored infantry and nearly 40,000 Kushan soldiers to evacuate towards the main hall.
"Attack the city gate immediately, open the passage, and let the main force outside the city enter."
Wen Chou led his army into the city of Gambilas. Looking at the scattered Kushan troops, he directly ordered the soldiers to ignore the miscellaneous fish and capture the city gate first to let the main force enter the city.
"promise."
Upon hearing Wen Chou's order, the soldiers of the Huwei Army immediately turned around and began to attack towards the city gate.
Wen Chou rode his horse alone and rushed directly outside the city gate. Looking at the sparse Kushan army, he rode directly into the formation and killed the enemy.
The iron spear was like a raging dragon, and the Kushan people who stood in front of him were stabbed to death one after another. In a short time, the ground was covered with corpses.
In normal times, there might not be a problem, but now the Kushan army has been defeated like a mountain, and the morale of the soldiers has dropped to the bottom. Since they can't stop Wen Chou, they simply don't stop them. Everyone drops their weapons and flees.
.
"Open the city gate."
Seeing the Kushan army fleeing in all directions, Wen Chou was not surprised and directly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.
"promise."
Soon the soldiers of the Huwei Army took up their positions, occupied the city gate, and began to operate the winch to slowly open the city gate.
"The gates are open, the gates are open, General."
Seeing the city gate open, Yuan Ke's eyes were full of excitement. After working for so long, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
"Brother, Wen Chou is here."
The city gate opened, Wen Chou rode his horse and stood in the center of the city gate, looking at Yan Liang in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"Haha, ugly brother, I knew you could do it."
Yan Liang also rode forward and punched Wen Chou directly on the shoulder.
"The light infantry goes first, the heavy infantry follows, and enters the city."
After giving Wen Chou a beating, Yan Liang immediately ordered his soldiers to advance into the city with the light infantry in the lead and the heavy infantry in the rear.
At this time, the city of Gambilas can be said to have been completely defeated by the Chinese side, and there is no possibility for them to make a comeback when the army enters the city.
"Don't panic, army. Go directly to the center of the city. The enemy's emperor must be there. Capture the Kushan Emperor."
Yan Liang and Wen Chou entered the city together. Looking at the panicked crowds in the city, Yan Liang was too lazy to care about them and ordered the army to march directly to the middle palace and take down the Kushan Emperor first.
"promise."
Wen Chou respected Yan Liang as always. Even though the two were now of the same rank, both first-class generals and military nobles of the empire, he still obeyed Yan Liang's words 100%.
As more and more Chinese soldiers entered the city, the scattered Kushan army also faced a devastating blow. They directly chose survival between life and death. Anyone could see that the Kushan ship was about to fall.
There is no point for them to continue fighting for the empire except to die in vain. It is better to surrender to China than to do so.
"Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly."
The cavalry rushed to the south gate with rumbling hooves, and Tefrat shouted directly to the soldiers guarding the gate.
"yes."
Although they were a little confused about Tefrat's words, the soldiers immediately obeyed the order and opened the city gate.
"The city gate is open, let me rush in."
The Chinese army was gathering towards the southern city. When the soldiers outside the city saw the opponent's city gate open, they immediately began to charge towards the city.
"The Guards Cavalry, charge with me."
Qihabna had already anticipated the possible situation, and they were prepared. As soon as the city gate opened, he directly ordered the armored cavalry to charge.
