Chapter 1621 Emotions

More than 100,000 defeated troops fled into the Mansera Fortress in a hurry. The Qin army completely occupied the beachhead position. Yueduo and Shirpa originally planned to rely on the beachhead battle to resist the Qin army's offensive, but they also only resisted for less than a day. This battle result was not only greatly beyond the expectations of the Kushan side, but the Qin army did not expect it.

After occupying the beachhead, the Qin army used ships and rafts to build several simple floating bridges on the Indus River. Then most of the Ninth Army, part of the Fifth Army and the Tiger Fight Battalion, the Iron Wall Guards drove across the Indus River, and another 50,000 Fifth Army soldiers remained on the north bank of the Indus River.

When the Qin army all drove across the Indus River, the sun was already rising. The Qin army set up camp on the south bank, and the army temporarily rested.

"In less than a day, we captured the beachhead of the Kushan Army! I believe we can capture the Mansela Fortress in less than a day!" Guan Yu in the tent said proudly, stroking his long beard.

The generals couldn't help but nodded, and everyone looked contemptuous. No wonder, in two consecutive battles, the Kushan army could not hold on for a day with the advantage of geographical location. I won't talk about the offensive and defensive battles of the Ragman Fortress before. In that battle, the Qin army's artillery was really scary, and the battle just now was a real fight with real swords and guns. The Kushan army still couldn't withstand a day with the advantage of geographical location and the advantage of numerical numbers, which really made people shake their heads!

"Chang Yun, you should be the first to win this battle!" Chen Chu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Yu said with a look of joy and pride on his face.

Chen Chu turned his head and looked at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu thrust his chest. Chen Chu raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Fengxian! Do I have orders you to attack?"

When Lu Bu uh, he immediately thought of military law and was shocked.

Chen Chu looked upright, "According to military law, what crime should he be punished if he did not obtain orders to attack without authorization?"

Lu Bu said a little dissatisfied: "But without me, Yun Chang and the others would not have won so easily!"

Chen Chu said firmly: "Military law is supreme, no one can violate it! If you don't have the order to fight without authorization, you should be beheaded!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone present was shocked and at the same time they were particularly puzzled.

"Brother, ~~~" Zhang Rui wanted to plead for Lu Bu.

Chen Chu waved his hand and said to everyone seriously: "According to military law, we should be beheaded, but as Fengxian himself said, his merits in this battle were second only to Yun Chang! Therefore, his merits and demerits were offset!~~~~~"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu glanced at Lu Bu, "Fengxian, are you convinced?"

Lu Bu curled his lips, clasped his fists unwillingly and said, "Accept!"

Chen Chu smiled wryly and shook his head. The reason why Chen Chu did this was to warn Lu Bu, so as not to sacrifice himself in vain for his recklessness and impulsiveness in the future. Lu Bu was almost killed in the canyon before because of his reckless and impulsive personality. Under that circumstances at that time, Lu Bu should have a cavalry team as the vanguard, and he led the main force to follow closely, rather than rushing to the front. Lu Bu is a general, not a soldier!

After the generals retreated, Zhang Rui asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you just now~~?"

Chen Chu sighed, "Fengxian is brave and invincible, but one of the biggest problems is that he is greedy for merit and reckless! I am worried that he will die because of this in the future and will also put the army he led into a desperate situation!"

The three girls nodded suddenly.

Sun Ren said with some concern: "General Lu Bu is very proud! I am afraid that I will not understand my elder brother's painstaking efforts, but instead I have grudges!"

Chen Chu frowned and nodded, "It seems that I have to talk to him well!" He glanced at the three girls and smiled, "You must be tired after not sleeping for a night! Take a break!" "Yes!" The three girls responded gently.

Chen Chu came out of the big tent, let all the iron wall guards stay, and came to Lu Bu's camp alone. From a distance, he saw Lu Bu riding his treasure red rabbit horse galloping on the school ground.

Chen Chu couldn't help but smile and murmured: "Everyone said that Lu Bu is indifferent, but I think he is like a child!"

Chen Chu walked to the sidelines. When Lu Bu saw Chen Chu, he pretended not to see it and continued to ride the Red Rabbit Horse.

Chen Chu didn't say anything, but stood on the edge of the school field and looked at him.

After a while, Lu Bu came over by himself, jumped off the Red Rabbit Horse, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty!" He looked like a young wife who was wronged.

Chen Chu smiled and patted Lu Bu's arm, "Fengxian, accompany me for a walk!"

Chen Chu walked on the edge of the school ground, and Lu Bu followed behind. "Fengxian, are you angry with me?" Chen Chu asked with a smile. Lu Bu curled his lips, "No!"

Chen Chu looked back at Lu Bu, "You! Everything is written on your face! You still say no!"

Lu Bu didn't say anything.

Chen Chu sighed and asked, "Bengxian, do you know what I am worried about?"

Lu Bu shook his head.

Chen Chu stopped, turned around, and said earnestly: "Fengxian, you are the most brave general of the empire! You are also my friend! I don't want you to encounter an accident! I still have lingering fears about that last time!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel moved and nodded.

After the Qin army captured the beachhead position, it did not immediately launch an attack on Mansera because the logistics and supplies had not yet followed. This phenomenon is quite strange. Generally speaking, this situation would not have happened in ancient times, because the attack was so fast that it was very rare in this era. The Qin army surrounded Mansera from three sides and left it to the east.

The fortress was panicked, and thousands of people were crowded at the east gate to demand to leave the city. The army was also in a turbulent morale. If Yue Kefeng did not take effective measures, he would be afraid that the Qin army would collapse without the need to attack them.

In the middle of the night that day, Mancera's battle situation reached the Kushan Imperial City. The Kushan Emperor Yue Duo, who was expecting good news in front of him, almost fainted on the spot. Seeing this, the ministers were in panic. Some ministers asked what had happened. Yue Duo hesitated for a moment and found an excuse to pass by perfunctorily, but the ministers became even more uneasy.

The next day, rumors spread all over the capital of East Kushan. Some people said that Yue Kefeng's army was defeated by the Qin army again, and some even said that the Fortress of Mansera was also lost. The entire capital was panicked, and some people fled eastward, and the food shops were crowded with uneasy people. The situation seemed very chaotic.

Seeing that Yue Duo didn't make any announcement again, he had to announce the letter he received last night to the ministers in the court. When the ministers learned from the emperor that Yue Kefeng's army was once again defeated by the Qin army on the south bank of the Indus River, they were all so shocked that they could not speak. They could not believe it or believe it. Their own army, which was not at a disadvantage in the number of people and even had an advantage, was defeated again with the right time, place, and people.

"Your Majesty, Yue Kefeng is defeated again and should be severely punished!" A minister said angrily. Many ministers agreed.

Yue Duo frowned, "Give me peace of mind!" The ministers were still shouting excitedly.

Yue Duo couldn't help but be furious, "I shut up all of you! What a quarrel!"

The hall finally became quiet, but the ministers were still very excited.

Yue Duo glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Who else can fight besides Yue Kefeng now? Who is stronger than Yue Kefeng? I will let him be this general!"

The ministers looked at each other and remained silent. Now Dong Kushan is so strong that he is not able to find it.

Yue Duo said: "Although the army was defeated again, it is not entirely Yue Kefeng's responsibility! It is because the Qin army is too strong in combat!" Yue Duo looked a little helpless.

Seeing that everyone looked frustrated, Yue Duo said, "Don't lose confidence, everyone! Although the Qin army is strong, our main force is still there! Relying on Mansera, Tancha allows the two fortresses of Roh to resist the attack of the Qin army! In addition, the Ross Empire and the Roman Empire will send troops soon!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. "Your Majesty, is this true? The Romans and the Ross are going to attack the Qin people?!" A minister asked with a look of surprise.

Yue Duo nodded, "Of course it's true! Go and tell everyone that reinforcements from the two empires are coming, so don't panic!"

After the scattering, Yue Duo returned to the harem. When he saw Queen Shirpa, he couldn't help but say tiredly: "I wonder how long we can resist?" Shirpa frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Yue Duo glanced at Shirpa, "Why don't you speak?"

Shilpa sighed and shook his head, "There's nothing to say!"

"Do you think we will lose?" Yue Duo asked with a frown.

Shilpa shook his head, "I don't know! But the situation is indeed very critical now! Your Majesty, I think we should take some extraordinary measures!"

"Extraordinary means?"

Shirpa nodded, "Your Majesty, there are a large number of slaves in China, all of whom are strong and healthy!~~"

Yue Duo immediately understood what Shirpa meant, "You want to organize these slaves? How can this be done? They are all in the hands of the nobles! We can't snatch them!"

Shirpa said firmly: "So I said this is a very trick! Of course we don't rob, we can summon the ministers and lords in the court, convince them, and then let them convince other small and medium-sized nobles!"

Yue Duo frowned and said, "This is a solution! But I'm just afraid they don't want it! Humph! Don't look at these people being passionate. In fact, they are the most selfish and will never harm their own interests for the sake of the empire!"

Hilpa frowned, "Your Majesty, why not give it a try! Maybe it may not be effective!"

Yue Duo nodded, "Okay! I'll give it a try!"

Yue Duo asked, "Has reinforcements been sent?"

Shirpa replied: "Have sent out! Your Majesty, the empire is almost completely empty now! There is only one imperial guard left! If the Qin army in the west launches an attack at this time, we will not be able to support there!"

Yue Duo said with a distressed look on his face: "There is no way to do this! It should be possible to withstand the west side! After all, the Qin army in the west is not strong!"

Hilpa nodded and said worriedly: "I hope so!"
