Taxa kept looking ahead, trying to penetrate the night and see everything Zhang Liao did, but unfortunately, he could only see this small area in front of him. If he wanted to penetrate the night and see the panoramic view, he would have to wait until a thousand years later to get infrared equipment.
However, when Taxa saw the figures of Han cavalry jumping out again in the nightlight, he still shouted as loudly as possible, ordering the front-line meat shield to concentrate on resisting, and let his adjutant lead the cavalry to attack!
The Kushans actually looked down on the soldiers from these countries in the Western Regions. Because when Kushan was fighting against neighboring countries such as Anxi, all the countries in the Western Regions were lying on the ground like grandsons, licking the Kushan boots on the ground.
It’s just like the characteristics that most dynasties show when they are heading to the end. The heart is not old and the mind is not sad, but the body is already very honest and cannot be hardened.
Perhaps when coming to the Western Regions, the Kushans tried to be tough again at the end of the dynasty...
When the Kushan cavalry rushed out, the Han cavalry had already thrown out the second round of guns. Although a large number of cheap meat shields in front of the position fell down, it didn't matter. Taxa looked proudly at the Kushan cavalry under his command and was about to intercept the Han cavalry, and couldn't help but feel so happy that he wanted to sing the tune of his hometown. This move must have been beyond the expectations of the Han generals!
At this distance, even if the Han people take the gun again, it will be too late!
Because the gun is to use the speed of the war horse to have enough power, and the Han cavalry is turning, on the one hand, the speed has decreased, and on the other hand, the direction is not right. In addition, the inertia of the war horse turns, it is definitely difficult for those Han cavalry to turn around or change direction, but they are eaten by the Kushan cavalry!
Hahaha!
What kind of military general in the Han Dynasty will also let you know the power of my high-ranking Kushan noble Taxa!
Taxa clenched her fists and looked at her cavalry excitedly, rushing towards the Han cavalry.
But this excitement did not last long.
The Kushan cavalry roared out, but they did not see the Han cavalry panic, but saw the Han cavalry lifting their arms at them and holding up something...
Suddenly, a memory fragment that was once forgotten by them jumped out of the Kushan people's mind again!
The Han people have crossbows!
Why?
Why do Han people have crossbows but have to use guns to attack those flesh shields?
Why did the Han people prepare crossbow arrows in advance just as they expected that their side would attack?
Why can the Han people’s crossbow arrows not be fired due to the bumps of war horses or the accidental touch of riders?
Why……
Before Taxa could figure out why, his Kushan cavalry had already hit the crossbow arrow shot by the Han cavalry!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Even when the light is sufficient during the day, it is not easy to avoid the shooting of crossbows and arrows, let alone to avoid these crossbows and arrows shot by the Han army in the dark.
What's even more excessive is that most of these despicable Han people are not targeting people, but war horses!
People know how to hide for a while, this stupid war horse...
Suddenly, people were overturned!
In a blink of an eye, the high and low scores were immediately judged, and the tip of the knife that Kushan hit was suddenly broken!
The subsequent Kushan cavalry could not hold back the horse, and the war horses were myopic...
Of course, it's a whole lot of horses that are overwhelming!
When the Han cavalry turned around, the Kushan cavalry barely bypassed the chaotic area, but what immediately greeted the Kushan cavalry and the others was a burst of sharp whistles!
The fierce Han cavalry in turn launched a charge against the Kushan cavalry!
Taxa's mind was in chaos and she could hardly believe her eyes.
How is this possible?
Although cavalry is very powerful, cavalry also has fatal weaknesses, that is, once they are put into battle, it is difficult to turn when charging, and after the formation is disrupted, it is difficult to quickly restore order like infantry. Therefore, an experienced cavalry commander will not easily launch a raid across the entire army, but will divide the cavalry into different echelons, and when the raid is raided one by one, master the time, so that the first echelon will immediately turn around and disperse as soon as the enemy breaks through, and the next echelon will follow one by one, and continue to raid the enemy a little to expand the results.
The Han generals seemed to have invested all their troops, but they could still rush in succession. This is simply...
How is this possible?
But, that's the truth.
Taxa stared at the state of his known elite Kushan cavalry, beating his chest and stamping his feet, gritting his teeth.
These Kushan cavalry are still scattered and have not recovered the array!
There are differences between people, and there are also differences between cavalry and generals.
What Taxsa thought was impossible was because he couldn't do it, but it did not mean that he couldn't do it. Zhang Liao was also unable to do it...
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Liao rushed directly into the Kushan cavalry like he was carrying a storm!
The spear danced, like a ferocious beast waving its soul-chasing claws during the impact, opening its mouth that swallowed everything, revealing its cruel teeth!
Taxa screamed, trying to get the archers on the position to give some support to his Kushan cavalry to block the attacks of the Han cavalry, but the archers' shooting did not have any effective indicators and did not have enough arrow rain covering effect, so the effect was very poor.
Taxa watched as most of his arrows landed in the air, and then watched his cavalry landing under the horses one by one, and then watched his adjutant launching a final charge at the general...
Taxa looked at him in a daze on the dirt mountain. Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and it felt like someone was punching his abdomen. His whole stomach became cramped, his hands and feet were shaking in pain, and his throat was filled with sour water.
Because when Taxsa saw his adjutant, at the moment when he attacked the Han general, the Han general's movement was like lightning. The spear in his hand was fired back and arrived first, and directly penetrated into his adjutant's chest and abdomen!
That's his adjutant!
Now it looks like a little lamb bitten on the mouth of a ferocious beast...
The ferocious beast, oh, no, it was the Han general, who even picked up the adjutant directly from the horse's back and drew a bloody color in the air!
Not only that, Taxa even saw his adjutant not dying immediately on the Han spear. I don’t know if it was because of his instinct before his death or was struggling dyingly. His hands and feet were trembling and dancing...
Taxa felt that her chest and abdomen seemed to be twitching and colicing.
The Kushan cavalry was defeated and fled in all directions.
Zhang Liao pulled the Kushan Military Academy in front of the formation, then slowly strangled the horse and did not continue to rush forward. The Han cavalry behind him also slowed down and then stayed in front of the Kushan array.
The Kushan array was up and down, and at this moment, they were staring at Zhang Liao and others blankly, as if they were trapped by Zhang Liao at this moment, and even half of their blood was frozen.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Taxa first took a breath and gritted his teeth and growled, "He is demonstrating! He is demonstrating to me!"
Taxa heard the clucking sound of her upper and lower teeth colliding, not knowing whether it was because of anger or fear.
"Beware! Stabilize the front..." Taxa shouted loudly at the top of his lungs, "Stabilize the front! Can't be messed up, and the Han people can take the opportunity to break through! They are all stable!"
The soldiers and generals around him woke up from a nightmare after shouting, and rushed to gather the queues, and the orders were passed one after another.
The Han people's queue started to move again, and the sound of horse hooves also rang again, knocking on the hearts of Kushan and others. After they were terrified to pick up the spear and prepare to welcome the next wave of the Han people's offensive, Zhang Liao did not attack, but seemed to be mocking his opponent, and turned around and left slowly...
『…』 Taxa said with a wide eyelid, as if she was asking herself, or as if she was asking someone else, 『This...this...why are you leaving?
No one can give Taxa an answer.
Just like no one will give Zhang Liao an answer...
Zhang Liao also had no idea why Lu Bu accidentally killed Gao Shun.
This accident caused the original plan to be unable to continue. Zhang Liao could only change his original plan to lure the enemy, but after giving Taxa the maximum pressure, he slowly evacuated the battlefield with the power he had produced.
The Kushan coalition followed Zhang Liao for a tentative period, and then was frightened by Zhang Liao's counterattack. He no longer dared to move forward, but just wandered. Then, after dawn, the fire in Qiuci City gradually extinguished, he gathered in a ruined place.
Outside the ruins of Qiuci City, the coalition forces held a "victory" meeting, and representatives from various states attended the meeting. At the meeting, Taxa said that this action was successful and effective, and that the Kushan, who represented the light, reproduced the glory of the Buddha and recovered Qiuci City, and the vicious Han people fled with their tails!
As for the battle that happened in the darkness, it disappeared with the passing of the darkness...
The rest is what everyone recognizes, and this is a great victory!
The Buddha's victory!
Look, the sun's brilliance is the Buddha's smile, how brilliant and dazzling it is!
Then the group of people shed tears of emotion and fell to the ground.
There is no way, I have been staring at the sun for a long time...
The celebratory dance began and the celebratory songs were sung. The herdsmen from the lower levels of the coalition were happily stationed, killing cattle and sheep, and also killing the injured and untreated war horses, throwing them into the pot and cooking them.
But unlike these ordinary herders who really thought they had won the victory, as the upper class of the coalition forces, after the "Victory" meeting, a small meeting was held relatively few participants and the atmosphere was not good.
On a small earth slope where you can see the ruins of Qiucicheng, several curtains separated the eyes of ordinary herdsmen. Representatives of several Western countries also threw away the masks hanging on their faces, each showing different ideas.
Located in the south of Shache Dayuan, the countries such as Uto, Zihe, Xiye, Wulei, etc., which are located in the south of Shache, and are not very willing to continue chasing and expelling the Han people, so they do not agree to continue to march eastward and feel that they can stop when they see it.
Shache, Gumo and Shule, who were directly threatened by the Han army, were relatively inclined to continue attacking the Han people. However, if they really wanted to fight against the Han people, they would not be willing to make outstanding contributions in this regard. They were fearless in sacrifice. The three of them prefer to drag the others to die together... uh, let's take the lead together... um, go together.
As for some small states, they have been excluded from this small meeting.
As Taxa, who presided over the meeting, did have a headache. If it weren't for the thrilling scene last night, he would have emphasized that the Han people were weak and were cursed by the Buddha, and then marched into the West Sea with a tough attitude, but after seeing the Han cavalry, he hesitated again.
But then he thought about it, as a Kushan, he actually didn't care how many people in the Western Regions died or injured. As long as he could expel the Han people from the Western Regions, he would be equivalent to making a great contribution. After returning to the Kushan family in the future, it would not be a dream to be in the nobles' upper court!
oh……
Salted fish should also have dreams, not to mention that this time is the closest opportunity to be able to climb up the aristocratic ladder!
Taxa was not very willing to give up like this.
At the small meeting, the Western countries quarreled with each other with red faces and thick necks, and it was difficult to unify their opinions for a while.
Taxa, who was stabbed by Zhang Liao, did not have enough prestige to oppress these small states to unify their opinions.
Finally, the commander of Shache Kingdom made a suggestion, saying that Master Bu Sen, the eminent monk of Shache Kingdom, made the final verdict.
Master Bu Sen is the descendant of the Secret Scroll. He is not only a monk of the Buddha, but also a witness and recorder of the history of the Western Regions. It is said that his inheritance comes from a mysterious country in the Western Regions, but no one knows which one it is...
However, Master Bu Sen's inheritance existed a long time ago, which is certain.
This is a war launched in the name of Buddha, and it is of course very important to represent the opinions of Master Bu Sen, who can represent the Buddha.
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
After all, most herders came here because they believed in Buddhism.
Taxa frowned a little at this conclusion, but he couldn't say anything at the moment, because after all, he had hyped the Buddha too much before. Now if he shows that the Buddha is useless and the monks are just a big deal, then let's not talk about whether to slap in the face or not, why would those herders who believe in Buddhism at the bottom of the country start to make trouble?
After thinking about it, Taxa decided to talk to the monk Busen first.
The monk Bu Sen did not follow the ordinary people of the coalition forces, but landed alone behind and was accompanied by several monks.
When he walked into Master Busen's tent, Taxa couldn't help but be shocked, because in the middle of the tent, there was a corpse.
A mummy.
It seems that painted or something else is applied on the surface, which makes the mummy not corrupt but keeps sitting cross-legged and hunched. At first glance, it looks like a monkey is more like a person.
"Why don't you worship?"
Just as Taxa was stunned, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him, which scared Taxa.
Taxa turned her head and found that the monk Bu Sen was standing behind him at some point.
"This is the Buddha of the flesh body..." Bu Sen worshipped at the mummy Heshi, "He practiced hard during his lifetime, spread and promoted Buddhism everywhere, and after his death, he became a Buddha in his flesh body..."
Taxa shook his eyebrows and asked him to worship a carved Buddha statue. There was basically no problem, but when he worshiped a mummy, he seemed a little weird in his mind and could not continue to worship.
Bu Sen said in a steady tone, "You come to me. Your troops came down a while ago, and now you are here in person. What is the reason for?"
"Master is brilliant..." Taksa nodded and said, "Master, this Buddha... should be compassionate?"
Bu Sen nodded slowly, "Yes."
"Does the master know anything about the situation in front of him...the master?" Taxa asked.
Bu Sen replied: "I dare not say that I know everything, but I know some of it in general... What do you want to say?"
"The Han people sabotage the Han people in Kucha, kill the people and burn the royal city... Now, a large number of people in the Western Regions have been bullied and harmed by the Han people, which is really miserable... Master, do you know these?"
"I know." Bu Sen said calmly.
"Look at Qiuci City not far away, the Han people robbed gold and silver, captured cattle and sheep, and committed countless evil! The pearl of Kucha in the past has now become a ruin!"
"I know."
"It's here that the Han people's vassals used the cruelest means to kill the King of Kucha, cut off his head, and let him die with his eyes closed..."
"I know."
"Not only in Kucha, the Han people also carried out horrific massacres in many places, killing civilians indiscriminately, dyeing the river water red with blood, and injustice souls cried and howled on this land day and night..."
"I know."
From beginning to end, Bu Sen's tone was very calm, as if Taxas was talking about life and death, but about what he was saying today that the sun rose and set, the air was good, etc.
Taxa couldn't help but wait for Bu Sen, thinking in her heart that this old man was crazy, "Master... are you okay? You said... you know everything?"
Bu Sen nodded.
Taxa stared wide, "This... do you think these things are... normal? Shouldn't the Buddha be compassionate? When you hear these tragic scenes and know the ruthless invasion of the Han people towards the people, how can you... so, so... just a "know"?"
Bu Sen sighed slightly, "It's true... I'm not indifferent to this, but what do you want me to do?"
Taksa hesitated for a moment and decided to say clearly to Bu Sen, "Master, you are the representative of the Buddha. The people trust you. When the people are invaded by the Han people and bullied by the Han people so cruelly, should you stand up and save these people who have been infringed by the Han people and resist the Han people? Drive the Han people out of this land and restore the light here again!"
After Taxa finished speaking, he looked at Bu Sen. He felt that he had fully demonstrated outstanding eloquence, which was more exciting than the nobles and men in the Kushan Parliament.
Bu Sen looked at Taxa calmly, "If I didn't understand the general's meaning wrong... the general hoped that I could stand up, resist the Han people, drive away the Han people, kill the Han people, just like the Han people kill our people?"
"Huh?" Taxa suddenly felt a little tricky, "How can this be the same? We represent light, we stand on the side of the Buddha, and the Han people are dark, standing on the side of the devil! We are the sun! We love all living beings! The Han people are dark! Devour life! We are just! The Han people are evil! This is different! It is completely different!
Bu Sen looked at Taxa quietly.
Taxa stopped his generous words and became silent, and then stared at Bu Sen too...
