Chapter 660 What’s going on?

In the middle of the battlefield littered with corpses, Lu Bu turned his Red Hare around and with just a glance, the restless wolf riders instantly quieted down.

The bloodstained Fang Tian Hua Ji pointed to the sky. In an instant, the phantom of a wolf head formed by black fog roared and rushed into the sky, and the temperature of the entire Wind Valley dropped sharply.

"The military spirit is complete!"

"I bestow upon you the name of Blood Wolf Riders!"

At this time, Singh's body was lying not far away, his scimitar was broken into two pieces, the sacred torch was completely shattered, and his eyes were staring at Lu Bu's direction, with resentment, anger and deep fear in his eyes.

With the demise of Singh and the Kushan Guard Cavalry Battalion, the morale of the Kushan army completely collapsed.

The remaining Kushan troops no longer held any hope and either knelt down and surrendered, or continued to flee towards the only exit left by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

However, not far ahead of them, Zhang Liao and others were already ready to clean up the mess.

Faced with this situation, generals such as Zhang Liao and Ma Chao could not help but sigh.

In the end, he didn't even get to drink the soup. Yuan Shao and Lu Fengxian were truly too cruel.

Yuan Shao had no intention of showing any mercy to the rebellious Kushan soldiers and slaughtered them all.

Under the fierce attacks from the Han army on all sides, the Kushan army quickly collapsed.

The blood dyed the Wind Valley red and also painted the chapter of the Kushan Empire's demise.

At this time, in front of the checkpoint defended by the Kushan army, Jiang Qi led thousands of Han soldiers who were covered in dust and dirt. They were wearing the enemy armor and clothes that they had secretly collected during the previous battle with the Kushan. They looked like the defeated Kushan soldiers.

Leading this remnant army, Jiang Qi lowered his head and helped another soldier who was fluent in Kushan language to support a Han soldier who looked somewhat similar to Singh.

After the careful disguise and dressing by a strange man in the army, if you don't look closely, this soldier can even be mistaken for a real one.

"What's going on?" The defending general was shocked when he saw this scene.

Jiang Qi's personal guards shouted in Kushan language with a tearful tone: "Open the city gate quickly! General Singh is seriously injured! We have been ambushed by the Han army!"

The supported "Singer" uttered a painful groan at the right time, closed his eyes, and looked up at the city wall calmly so that the defender could see his face clearly.

In the dusk, a familiar face loomed, and the defending generals couldn't help but widen their eyes: "It's really General Singh!"

But his years of experience in guarding the border made him still alert: "Can General Singh please show me the military token?"

The "personal guard" quickly fumbled around on "General Singh" and then said anxiously, "We left in too much of a hurry, the military token may have been lost."

"General Singh is here. Isn't that enough proof? Open the city gates! The Han army is coming!"

"If General Singh dies, His Highness Bodiao will not let you go!"

At the same time, a Han cavalry unit appeared in the rear and rushed towards the "ruined Kushan army".

There was a sudden commotion on the city wall.

The defending general was also very conflicted at this time.

He noticed something strange about the army under the city and felt that there was probably something wrong.

But does he dare to gamble?

Even if this General Singh is a fake, can he shut up the defenders on the city wall? You know, most of them are General Singh's confidants.

In order to ensure that there was no hindrance in the rear, Singh left behind mostly elite troops who were loyal to him when he sent out his troops.

After all, there are still differences and conflicts between him and those veterans, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

However, this insurance policy now puts the defender in a difficult position.

Seeing the soldiers on both sides looking at him eagerly, the general had no choice but to shout, "Open the city gate! Rescue General Singh and bring him in!"

With a creaking sound, the city gate slowly opened. Jiang Qi was delighted, but he suppressed his excitement and helped "Singer" into the pass. After passing through the city gate, Jiang Qi no longer concealed himself, tore off his disguise, and rushed towards the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall then realized that they had fallen into a trap and raised their weapons.

However, it was already too late.

The elite troops led by Jiang Qi took down part of the city wall in a lightning speed and firmly controlled the city gate.

With the continuous inrush of elite Han troops led by Gongsun Zan, Han Sui, Gao Lan and Gao Gan, the pass was quickly captured.

The White Horse Volunteers led by Gongsun Zan galloped like the wind, constantly chasing and strangling the fleeing soldiers.

Afterwards, Jiang Qi suddenly interrogated the generals defending the pass and learned that there were only 20,000 defenders left in Balkh City.

The generals left Gao Gan with 10,000 elite troops to garrison, and led the army to attack the city of Balkh again without stopping.

This time, facing the Balkh defenders who had been on guard for a long time, Gongsun Zan and others did not try to take shortcuts, but directly deployed 120,000 troops, surrounded Balkh City, and waited for the arrival of Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

General McAllen, who was arranged by Singh to stay in Balkh City, stood on the city wall and looked at the endless Han army camps around him. He felt a chill in his heart.

"How did the Han army take Fenwang Pass? How many Han troops came? Where are General Singh and his men?"

The larger the Han army, the more terrible it is. Even if the Han army breaks through Fenwang Pass, it is not terrible.

But the combination of the two is extremely terrifying.

Without the Fenwang Pass, which was once a strong pass that could resist ten thousand men, although the city of Balkh was quite strong, it had few soldiers!
There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The Han army that arrived numbered more than 100,000.

Judging from the current situation, the 80,000 elite troops led by Singh may have been completely destroyed.

The royal court was hundreds of miles away from the city of Balkh. It would take more than half a month to go back and forth, even if it was just to mobilize troops.

Can he hold on until then?

McAllen dug his nails into the cracks in the stone of the city wall, and a bitter taste rose in his throat.

Gao Lan looked at the five-meter-high city wall of Balkh from afar and smiled slightly.

"In the previous battle with the Kushans, their defense of the city was quite methodical, but it was still too immature."

"This time, we will show them our true abilities and let them see what a real siege is like!"

The previous sieges were all for the Kushans to see, to show weakness to the enemy, without using their own real strength at all.

But the damage in the battle was real, which made Gao Lan feel very angry. He was determined to get back at the right place this time.

Gongsun Zan on the side nodded in approval.

He was not good at and had no interest in siege, so he directly handed over the tens of thousands of infantrymen under his command to Gao Lan for temporary control.

He was just wandering around with 30,000 cavalrymen, waiting for reinforcements from the Kushan royal court.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan had no objection, Gao Lan clasped his fists slightly.

"Pass my orders." Gao Lan turned and said to the deputy general.

"Let the catapults and crossbow carts cover the top of the city to wake up the Kushans."

Following Gao Lan's order, thousands of catapults and crossbow carts that had been assembled and prepared were put into place one after another.

McCarron looked at the dense siege weapons from afar and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
