Chapter 3041: Facing your opponent at the peak
With the collapse of the flanks, Baroush of the Central Camp almost instantly confirmed that this battle could no longer continue. The strength gap between the two sides was too big, and the strangeness displayed by the other side made Baroush quite a big deal.
"You go to Khyber Pass and send the collected information to General Barak who is stationed there." Barush turned his head and ordered. The clerk who had been recording the previous one nodded immediately and left with all the Han intelligence related to this battle.
Barush had long expected that the Han Dynasty could not defeat the Han Dynasty. Their purpose was to hold the Han Dynasty, to suck the Han Dynasty's spirit, and to give Barak, who was truly stationed in the Khyber Pass in the rear, just in case.
Speaking of which, Kushan is also unlucky now. No matter when, there were 10,000 soldiers of King Se, a full-scale imperial guard heavy infantry, and the military soul army that has been stationed here all year round, and 60,000 elite soldiers, totaling 80,000 elite soldiers.
It can be said that when Peshawar is only thirty miles away from Khyber, theoretically even if it is attacked by other empires, it is absolutely impossible for the Khyber Pass to fall.
After all, the Kushans also took the Han Dynasty route, and there were also standard imperial guards. Although in order to demonstrate the power of the royal family, it was not directly called the imperial guards, but in fact, the royal guards who fought with Guan Yu at that time were actually the serious imperial guards.
In addition, in order to show his former glory, Vesutva I prepared his horse and soldiers to create the Royal Court Guards, and Kushan also had a serious imperial guard.
By the way, except for the short-term establishment of the Royal Court Guards, the Kushan Empire Guards were indeed reliable overall. At least at that time, the entire army had two talents. Guan Yu, who led the headquarters to three talents, did not take any advantage.
It can be said that under normal circumstances, to open the Bern Pass, starting is equivalent to fighting a military soul, a complete imperial guard combination, and a double talent of about 20,000 yuan. This kind of head-on war will be quite a headache even if Rome takes out the military power to rest.
However, Kushan is in the most embarrassing moment. In the Imperial Guards, the three-talented thunder cavalry led by Gavin were killed by Sima Zhangyin. The main generals were ascended to heaven. There is no trace yet. The other royal archers, royal archers, and royal archers have combat power, but they were transferred to the south to fight the Brahmins.
Even the military spirit and the heavy infantry of the Imperial Guards were transferred away. Now there are only 10,000 Kings of Se fighters at Khyber Pass. Although they are super strong, it depends on who they compare with!
Barush spared no effort to worry that the strength of the Han Dynasty exceeded their estimates. Now it is confirmed that if Khyber really only had 10,000 Kings of Serbs and 60,000 regular soldiers, and the main force of the empire was not in Peshawar, I am afraid that Khyber Pass would really fall.
"Let's leave first." The clerk bowed and then left directly with about dozens of scouts. These information must be sent to the rear with all means. Otherwise, we will wait for an accident at Khyber Pass and the country will be in turmoil!
Barush looked at the nearly defeated second and third-level defense line with extremely cold eyes, "Catch fire, cut off the military camp, and prepare to retreat."
Baroush could still bear the loss of about 20,000 yuan, and he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the Han Dynasty early in the morning, so he prepared early. The gullies in the camp were not only used to defend against Han Dynasty assaults and consume the enemy's clouds, but also a larger part of the function was to set fire to cut off the military camp when they were unable to fight, giving the rear a chance to retreat.
Even when he was talking about it before, Baroush showed his determination to fight the Han Dynasty, and many Kushan generals and schools were willing to fight the Han Dynasty to the death, Baroush was still clear about his mind. He had not considered a victory, but if he lost something like this, he would not be surprised if he could reduce the losses if he had done a good job of dealing with it, and he would have suffered heavy losses due to poor thinking, then he would be done.
With the order of Barush, the Kushan camp quickly ignited flames, blocking the entire Han army's march route from south to north. The defeated Kushan soldiers in front suddenly lost the possibility of rewinding themselves, and the tung oil burned violently with black smoke.
This flame area that is dozens of steps wide, even the military soul of the formation is unwilling to try. Of course, at the speed of a white horse, it can rush over within one or two seconds. However, there is no need. At the moment the flames burn, Chen Gong curbed his own offensive.
"Sure enough, when we show the strength that the other party is completely inconsistent, Beigui will set fire to deal with it. I told you before that the little water vapor you have accumulated is dropped by rain, and maybe it can be stopped." Mao looked at Chen Gong without looking back and said.
"You are just joking. The other party was obviously digging several trenches from south to north and then using tung oil to ignite the fire. Do you think it would be useful to go down the water vapor I have accumulated before?" Chen Gong glanced at Mao and said. They all knew that Beigui would definitely use flames to cut off the battlefield, because this place was really suitable for this method.
The reason why the Han Dynasty could not get around before was that the entire military camp of Beigui was blocked in the Kabul River Valley, and there was only one way to break through this place, so you could not get around at all.
Therefore, in theory, a trench that crossed the Beigui camp was ignited and formed a cross-border fire wall. As long as it was wide enough, it could block all the Han army.
But this plan requires enough tung oil, and in the case of expensive north, it is impossible to take out so much tung oil to do this under the current tangled situation. After all, even if this section of the river valley is narrow, it is more than a thousand meters. Pulling a trench and soaking it in full tung oil requires a huge amount. Now Baroush is also done by taking advantage of tricks.
"Hmph, there must be a lot of pine and other things inside. It is impossible for Kushan to have so much tincture, and there are several trenches." Mao said angrily, "I have the chance to defeat the other party, but now I am watching the other party retreat like this."
"Who said I would watch the other party retreat like this? I could guess what tactics the other party would use before, and I would not counterattack?" Chen Gong glanced at Mao. The two of them were considered old acquaintances. To be precise, all the generals and schools under Chen Gong and Cao āo were old acquaintances.
"But your current situation is that you let the other party run away." Mao glanced at Chen Gong, rolled his eyes and said.
"On the contrary, the next step is the beginning of our easy victory." Chen Gong said with a smile, "No matter what, Beigui's fighting will is still very strong. Although our army's strength has an absolute advantage, it is inevitable that there will be war losses. Now the war losses should be greatly reduced to almost no level."
"The problem is that our estimated plan to annihilate at least half of them is also over." Mao said with a depressed look on his face.
"Zhongda and the others will block the other party. What we have to do now is to wipe out these miscellaneous soldiers who have no fighting spirit after the opponent's rear army leaves." Chen Gong smiled and said, "It is indeed a good plan to use flames to block the battlefield, but isn't this approach exactly the same as being cut by a legion on the battlefield?"
As Chen Gong expected, the rising flames in the Kushan camp did give the central army a chance to retreat safely, but it also completely cut off the possibility of the front army's return. The front army, which is currently defeated, has completely lost its fighting spirit even under the leadership of those suicide squads who are already mentally prepared to die in battle.
"Things that might have taken more time and more casualties to solve are now solved at a faster speed and fewer casualties." After the Iron Cavalry and killed the last soldier who was still resisting, the remaining soldiers of Beigui naturally surrendered.
"It just takes more than an hour to extinguish this flame. By then, Beigui is afraid that he will run away." Mao said with an unhappy look [m.].
"Don't worry, give Zhongda and the others some confidence. If you don't say anything else, it's still okay to stop those people, let alone the infantry running for an hour, the white horse will probably not take a few minutes." Chen Gong glanced at the white horse Yicong who was strolling there and said.
Mao also looked back and had to admit that this was not adulterated. The white horse could really catch up with the infantry legion that had run for an hour in advance within a few minutes, especially in this place, there was only one road, and it was attacked from front to back!
"So let's take a look. Our goal is not to simply win, but to create a super high exchange ratio with extremely low losses, so that our side can gain morale far beyond the other side, but they can forcefully appear at Khyber Pass and break through it in the peak state." Chen Gongtou said without looking back, he did everything as much as possible.
"It seems that you are very good at Kushan at Khyber Pass?" Mao said in confusion. "As far as you see now, you shouldn't give such a high evaluation based on your habits. Did you have a premonition?"
"It's not a premonition, it's because I've seen a worse situation. I know what it's like when an empire becomes serious." Chen Gong said with a cautious look. "We are now fighting against an empire that is sleeping in a daze. We are all relying on instinct to deal with it, but when we reach the Kaiba Pass, Kushan cannot react."
