The difficulty of operating the logistical equipment required by a large army has greatly curbed the size of the army. Generally speaking, a legion that can carry out ultra-long-distance external warfare will have a more elite main force. The reason for this is actually money.
Including Chen Xi, in fact, was also constrained by the issue of money. In other times, if a hundred thousand troops were sent out of Sichuan and Sichuan to attack India, it would basically be equivalent to overwhelming the entire country.
Of course, a dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, which had already established and ruled in later generations of Iran and still had a good domestic situation, was, to be honest, unreasonably wealthy. According to Chen Xi's current development speed, it would take a long time to reach that level.
Five to ten years.
The so-called peak of the feudal dynasty is really not a joke. Kaiyuan lasted for twenty-nine years. To be honest, if Xuanzong had died at that time, he might have been regarded as an emperor for eternity.
"This is roughly the situation. Although it is the inference of the military advisor, it is just a guess. Think about the situation of the military advisor. How can I put it? You understand." Yu Jin gave Sun Guan a "you understand" expression, and his behavior was almost the same as his.
Yu Jin believes that Sun Guan can understand the old man who has both front and back legs.
Sun Guan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded silently, "The military advisor said something evil again. Alas, I'm not sure what's good, but I'm sure what's bad. The pressure is a bit too much."
"That's what I mean." Yu Jin stuck his spear on the ground, snapped his fingers and said, but after he recovered his senses, he laughed and cursed, "Zhongtai, what you said is a bit too much. Military advisors are not always inaccurate when it comes to good things, but they are also accurate when it comes to bad things.
It can only be said that it is a good thing that we forget about it after the celebration."
"Okay, okay, you're right. I'll tell the military advisor later on who spread the word about Crow Mouth." Sun Guan rolled his eyes and said. He has partnered with Yu Jin many times. How could he not know that Yu Jin, a man with thick eyebrows,
Eye is actually a boring and gossipy man.
"You guy." The corners of Yu Jin's mouth twitched twice, and he was really too embarrassed to say anything else.
"Forget it, I'll go up first with the shield guards, just to check out the situation, give you a head start, get some merit, etc. Wen, you can lead the army to rest before we go up." Sun Guan said this, but when he thought about it,
Guo Jia couldn't help but be cautious about his nickname.
Although this word was spread by Yu Jin, as an old man who has been staying behind and hanging out with Yu Jin, how could he not know that this nickname is very reasonable.
"That's okay. After all, your soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, and they can also support this kind of forced march." After hearing this, Yu Jin thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Yu Jin also has a good relationship with Guan Yu. He knows that the current situation is complicated, and Guo Jia has a crow's mouth. He is also afraid that Guan Yu will do something wrong. If he goes abroad to fight and fails to do his best in the first battle, he is really shaken.
Morale is up.
"Lian Yue, organize the troops and prepare for a forced march." After Sun Guan and Yu Jin discussed it, they directly ordered their adjutants to organize the troops. A group of veteran shield guards who were moving back and forth soaked in fried flour heard the orders from their respective team leaders and marched as normal soldiers.
Cleaning up quickly took place at an unimaginable speed.
Watching Sun Guan leave with the shield guards, Yu Jin looked at his relatively well-organized soldiers. The gap was beyond imagination. The group of shield guards who came out of Jing Ling Guard also stood and walked around in groups after eating.
, while recovering their physical strength, they also maintained basic alertness. Following Sun Guan's order, they quickly completed the cleanup and formed formations to leave.
Looking back at the soldiers under his command, in addition to differences in combat experience and individual qualities, there is also a gap in discipline.
Yu Jin said, damn it, didn't these veterans come from his side a few years ago? Yu Jin could understand the gap in experience and quality, but how could there be any change in discipline?
To be honest, compared to the past, Yu Jin's current military training methods are more reliable, right? As a commander who does not focus on bravery, but on discipline and organization and coordination as the core of the legion, how can it be that the current soldiers are there?
Will the discipline be worse than before?
[This is really a ghost. It seems that the people in Yecheng are really hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Are they disciplined?] Yu Jin half-squinted his eyes and looked away from the back of the shield guard.
It's not surprising that Yu Jin is curious. You must know that Liu Bei's soldiers are basically trained by Yu Jin and then transferred to other people. Yu Jin is part of the general logistics. This is Liu Bei's recognition of Yu Jin's ability.
, which is also recognition of his loyalty.
Yu Jin's own level of military training also gradually improved during this process. It is said that it is impossible for the soldiers in the past to surpass the soldiers he currently leads in terms of discipline.
Combat experience, fighting will, and morale quality are all things that cannot be helped. It is normal for veterans to surpass ordinary veterans in all aspects.
But if the disciplinary housing is exceeded, it can only explain one situation, that is, after these qualified veterans were transferred back as Jingling Guards, they were trained by other people. The problem is that the rear military camps are basically under supervision.
I really don’t know if there is anything that is not under my control.
[This is strange.] Yu Jin thought about it, then ordered his soldiers to stand up and rest slowly. After the battle, he sat down directly. His body felt much more tired than standing, and he had to save people next.
In fact, Yu Jin thought wrong. It was a simple accident that the discipline of this group of soldiers became so strong. He was transferred back to the Jingling Guards. When patrolling, he had to look at a line vertically. If he had no other requirements, he had to clean up his appearance.
, all you want is face.
This kind of order is actually quite difficult for normal soldiers, but this group of people are veterans of many battles, and everything else is up to standard. This requirement is stuck, and no one else needs to watch it. It doesn't take long for them to make corrections on their own and reach it.
standards.
The basic qualities are there, practice this kind of thing, and you can solve it with a quick attack. After going back and forth for several years, the veterans who were newly transferred to Jingling Guards followed the same behavior as their predecessors.
Come on, now that it's out, it's already done.
Discipline and other things, military appearance and military soul-level qualities can be put there, and everything will be fine.
When Sun Guan led the shield guards to march northward, Wu Anguo's ambush successfully intercepted and killed Guishang's army that was pursuing Zhang Ren.
In fact, as far as the situation in the Ganges Plain was concerned, it was said to be an ambush, but in fact it was almost the same as hard work.
The group of soldiers led by Wu Anguo were just squatting in the bushes. It is impossible to say that Kushan did not notice it. The problem lies in the overall military strength of Kushan. It is not so much the Kshatriya warrior army that leads the whole army.
Charging forward might as well be said to be being pushed forward by a huge number of soldiers.
In this case, for Sakala, who was commanding the army, it would be easier to cause trouble if he stopped. It would be better to take advantage of the Kushan army's momentum to gain momentum and rush over directly.
Therefore, although Saqqara discovered the ambush of the Han army crouching in the bushes, he was heartbroken and just informed the main force and auxiliary troops. The command was not in place and they could not stop. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the moment.
Chasing all the way, the momentum increased and the fight started.
What's more, judging from Saqqara's experience, since the Han army still wants to ambush them, it is enough to show that the Han army still has the idea of winning this battle.
In this case, under this unavoidable situation, it is not unacceptable to let the Han army attack the miscellaneous soldiers on the periphery, lure Zhang Ren back, and wipe out this group of Han soldiers at the risk of heavy losses.
After all, compared with when Banerjee was the commander-in-chief, most of the Kushan auxiliary soldiers were in a state of soy sauce. Now the Kushan auxiliary soldiers have really shown their strength, relying on the pursuit all the way to increase their momentum.
At the same time as it was lifted up, it was like a flood that was released, ferociously destroying everything in front of it.
It can be said that the current Kushan auxiliary army is the true human sea tactic of the Brahmins. If this group of people had this momentum from the beginning, not to mention Zhang Ren, even Han Xin would have no choice but to fight and retreat, and defeat the opponent.
The offensive can only be dealt with after it is slowed down.
This wave-like offensive, if you cannot stop it, will be crushed in a very short time, because no one knows how many opponents you will encounter.
Precisely because he understood this, Sakala became more and more confident as he chased after him. The group of Kushan auxiliary soldiers who blindly followed him had truly entered a state of mindless recklessness. Their burst of strength could only be achieved as long as the opponent did not have the ability to block this torrent.
, then being crushed is almost natural.
Can Zhang Ren's more than 10,000 elite troops be able to stop him? Of course, they can't. If the two sides had not had similar foot power, Saqqara would not have been able to catch up with Zhang Ren and would have defeated the Han army long ago.
It's just like the situation of Lao Maozi's so-called European steamroller. If it doesn't start up, there will be many people who can take care of it. No one from the European powers dares to stir it up. But when it starts up, no matter what continental power you have, they will be crushed.
pressure.
The same is true for the Kushan auxiliary soldiers who have entered the state.
It's just that Sakala's heart is like a mirror. Although the momentum of the army has risen and the combat effectiveness has been guaranteed, the army he leads cannot catch up with the Han army. If it stops, with the quality of the Kushan auxiliary troops, it will stop.
In the process, it will become a rebel army.
Sakala didn't dare to bet whether Zhang Ren would turn around and fight him desperately after he stopped.
As for the only plan, he would personally lead the Kshatriya warrior army to break away from the main force and entangle the Han army. Otherwise, it would only be wasted now.
To be honest, Sakala has never seen such an embarrassing situation before. He can fight, but he can't catch up. He stops, and he is afraid that the other party will respond and get angry!
What is even worse is that the only possible effective solution will lead to the disconnection between Sakala and the Kshatriya warrior army and the now powerful Kushan formation.
What's even more helpless is that even if Sakala dares to increase his speed and go to entangle the Han army, he is not sure that he can stop it. If he had dared to guarantee that the Kshatriya warrior army was not inferior to any opponent before, now, he can only
