The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 662 I am willing to go
Bo Diao's scimitar hit the armrest of the throne heavily, and golden fragments mixed with blood splashed everywhere. He questioned Zalwan in anger.

Zarwan sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "If you don't send troops, does Your Highness still have a chance to retake the northern border?"

Zalwan actually said it in a more tactful way, and everyone present understood what he meant.

If we do not support the city of Balkh, it is only a matter of time before Fulusha is besieged.

Now they are only facing enemies from the north.

As time goes on, the three Han kings in the south and Hubishka III in the east will inevitably come to besiege us, and even Surya in the west will come as well. Then we will really have no chance.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.

As long as one side is hurt, there is still a chance of turning the situation around.

"Besides, Surya in the west has not shown any intention of betrayal yet. It would be better to give him a high position and let him go south to resist the Han army. In this way, there may be more room for maneuver."

After hearing this, the originally furious Bo Diao finally calmed down.

What Zalwan said hit the nail on the head, and this was indeed his best option.

"Alright! This time, I will personally lead the army of 80,000 to the north!"

"Your Highness is wise!" All the ministers said in unison.

However, Zalwan's eyes were filled with deep worry at this time.

He always felt that he seemed to be plotted against by the Han army again.

However, he had no other choice but to go all the way.

Just as Zalwan thought, Yuan Shao gave Gao Lan an order before the war, asking him to launch a fierce attack on the city of Balkh but not to capture it. His purpose was to force Singh to continue sending troops north to provide support.

Singh wanted to recover the Kushan territories rather than wait for death.

What Yuan Shao hoped was to conquer Kushan as soon as possible with minimal losses, rather than to suffer losses on both sides and waste time.

At this time, you must leave room for the other party to turn the tables, forcing them to put their last capital on the line, so as to completely win the battle.

As for what to do if you lose.

Yuan Shao looked at the luxurious lineup behind him and really didn't know how he could lose.

Two days later, Bo Diao's army was reorganized and began to march north.

It took seven days to reach a distance of about 200 miles outside the city of Balkh.

Riding on a war elephant covered with silver-studded armor, holding the scepter symbolizing royal power, Bo Diao looked at the 80,000 elite soldiers around him in neat uniforms, and a long-lost sense of pride surged in his heart.

However, before this heroic spirit faded, the scouts' urgent report tore through the morning mist: "Your Majesty! A large number of enemy cavalry appeared ahead, numbering tens of thousands."

The griffin scepter in Bo Diao's hand slammed heavily on the saddle of the war elephant: "Well done!"

Standing up from the throne on the war elephant, Bo Diao pointed to the sky with the scepter in his hand: "Follow me to crush these Han people!"

The 80,000-strong army adjusted their formations like a tide.

The guard captain Rama beside Bodiao commanded the war elephant to move slightly closer to Bodiao: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am here and will not let the enemy get close to Your Highness."

Bo Diao looked at the captain of the guard who commanded the empire's last ace elephant troops and nodded slightly.

"Don't be careless. Even though the enemy is cavalry, I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with."

Bo Diao was an extremely proud man, but successive failures forced him to curb his arrogance.

Rama nodded seriously, but there was no ripple in his heart.

Since the founding of the Kushan Empire, it has experienced many life and death situations, and each time it has been able to survive safely relying on this elephant corps that has been passed down from generation to generation.

No matter what kind of enemy he encounters, he is not afraid at all.

Because the war elephant army he led was invincible.

More than ten miles away from Bo Diao's army, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan had already joined forces. Upon hearing the news that Bo Diao was personally leading the army to the battle, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Not bad, this guy really has some of the style of 'King Wuling of Zhao'."

Lu Bu said nonchalantly: "Since the real lord has come out, let's fight quickly and decisively."

"After killing Hatiao, Kushan will be completely under our control."

Yuan Shao had already prepared opponents for the remaining Kushan troops.

Surya in the west should have already faced off against Liu Bei by now, so the chances of his survival are estimated to be slim.

Although Hussein in the east was good at defense, he was now trapped by Cao Cao and Hubishekhar III. Moreover, Cao Cao's remaining troops and Zhang Liao's army had already gone to support him.

Even if Hubishka III had other ideas, it was too late.

As long as they can destroy the main force of the Bodiao in front of them, the Kushans will have no room for resistance.

Enemies in the dark are always more difficult to deal with than enemies in the open.

Yuan Shao and other kings did not want to waste too much time in Kushan.

Even though this area was destined to be handed over to the aristocratic families in the end, as their own rear supply station, coupled with the intricate ties between the seven kings and the aristocratic families, they were destined to do the job cleanly.

"Don't be careless. Bo Diao dared to come here because he had something to rely on."

"The elite combat power of the Kushan Army should not be underestimated, not to mention that there is also an elephant soldier army soul corps that has never shown its strength." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

Yuan Shao actually didn't like the elephant soldiers.

It is too unstable and has many drawbacks. In Yuan Shao's eyes, it is similar to the Fire Bull Formation and is a double-edged sword.

As long as the enemy has the opportunity to design it, it is very likely to change from a powerful weapon for attacking cities and strongholds into a killing weapon that harms one's own side.

But there was one thing Yuan Shao had to admit, this "heavyweight" type of troops was indeed terrifyingly powerful, and could completely turn the tide if used properly.

As Yuan Shao is good at crushing the opponent, he has a lot of experience on how to prevent the enemy from making a comeback.

When it comes to calculating and measuring the enemy's upper limit of combat power, Yuan Shao always leaves enough room.

Therefore, Yuan Shao gave full respect to this elephant soldier soul corps in his heart and did not intend to fight directly with the soul corps.

Without knowing the other party's background, it is too risky to just play "Dui Dui Hu" rashly.

Elephant soldiers are quite restrained against infantry, cavalry and even charioteers. If they really seize the opportunity and use their ingenuity to defeat force like the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry defeated the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion, then we will be in trouble.

Fa Zheng saw through Yuan Shao's thoughts at a glance.

"Does the King of Zhao want to send a team to test the strength of this elephant soldier army?"

Yuan Shao nodded.

"The elephant soldiers should not be underestimated!"

"Who does the lord want to send?" Feng Ji asked.

Yuan Shao glanced at his generals and frowned slightly.

"It would be best if they were cavalrymen who were good at speed, so that they could be easily evacuated, but their combat power couldn't be too weak."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately prepared to stand up.

But he was stopped by Han Sui.

Are you kidding? In this situation where we don't know the enemy's strength, how can we let our lord and the White Horse Volunteers go into battle directly?

What if you are restrained by the enemy's talent and fail accidentally?
Without hesitation, Han Sui stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to go!"
