Cao Cao and Oswin fought again, and this time Oswin's main force was dispatched, with a strength of 120,000, and the morale was very high due to the previous victory, and with the backbone complete, even Kapil showed his normal performance
level.
It can be said that this time Beigui showed its current peak combat effectiveness. A large amount of grain and grass were delivered along the Helmand River near Kandahar. Oswin directly set up camp on the spot, preparing to have a big fight with Cao Cao. Let's see if he can
Kandahar cannot be taken by force.
Of course, the so-called large amount of grain and grass is only enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops for a few days, so more grain and grass will be shipped from the Kabul Valley to Kandahar via the Helmand River.
"If we attack the city, even if we defeat it, we will still lose." Kapil looked at the city of Kandahar that had been renovated by the Han Dynasty, and his face was a little green. The level of this construction must be too high.
"It's okay, we still have a lot of our own people in Kandahar." Oswin said very confidently, "Besides, Ardashir's regular army is coming soon. In total, this is an army of more than 200,000 people. We will surround the capital."
Cao's thieves surrounded him."
"It will take a few more days to arrive at Turansha." Aldashir said with some worry. After all, Bakza had already used the letter eagle to give an urgent report before. The Caucasus was taken away by the Han family, so the plan was basically complete.
The whole thing collapsed.
As a result, about half of the imperial guards under Bakza gave up fighting and directly defected to the Han family. The soldiers under Tulansha also inevitably fell into this situation. At present, it is only because Tulansha and the others have blocked it.
I got the news, so it was not exposed.
But once the Han Dynasty has clear evidence, one or two legions may be enough to break up Turansha, so Ardashir is inevitably a little worried.
However, the current situation is much better than what Ardashir thought at the time. Vesutiva I was directly willing to give up the entire north to Ardashir. These soldiers could take over and have a place to survive. As long as there is no turmoil at the beginning,
As time goes by, Ardashir will still be able to stabilize these soldiers.
After all, time can solve almost all problems, no matter how big or small.
"I plan to pick up Turansha and the others now to avoid any accidents." After thinking about it, Ardashir suggested to Oswin.
"How about I go pick it up? Your command seems to be better than mine and Kapil's, and the informant said that Hua Xiong has returned with the Xiliang cavalry. You left, and we have a lot of manpower to deal with that thing.
"Oswin thought for a while and said.
Aldashir was stunned and turned to look at Oswin. As a result, the other person's eyes showed no intention of fooling him. Seeing this, Aldashir couldn't help but sigh. Oswin is really innocent. No, it should be said that he is.
I really don’t understand politics at all.
"You have to be here. Only if you are here can the legion continue to command." Ardashir directly handed over to Oswin. Oswin scratched his head, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh. What is this?
He hates politics.
"Falgon, is your arm healed?" After thinking for a while, Oswin greeted Falgon. Oswin could trust Falgon's character.
"Okay." Falgon said with a cold expression. His mental image had achieved a breakthrough before and reached a new level. He has not yet completely developed it. It is still under development recently. After all, doubling the initial speed sounds like a possibility.
It sounds ordinary, but if you really want to say it, it is very scary.
"Why don't you take someone to pick up Turansha and the others, and unite together as soon as possible." Oswin suggested to Falgon.
"Let Zasali go. I'm not suitable for desert terrain. I'm okay in combat, but I'm really not good in other aspects." Falgon decisively refused.
"That guy is no longer a camel rider, nor is he suitable for desert warfare." Oswin sighed and said, "I think among these people, you are the only one who is suitable."
"Urdu is also suitable." Falgon thought for a while and said, "I recently want to develop my own mental image, which is to double the initial speed. I am thinking about how to develop it. The current usage is really too rough.
Now, I'm thinking about using a blow dart or something like that."
In fact, Falgon has basically chosen a new weapon. The super-powerful armor-breaking and piercing arrows used by the three-in-one spirit, energy and spirit are indeed very powerful, but how many arrows can Falgon carry?
A pot of ordinary arrows only costs fifty arrows, and a pot of heavy armor-piercing arrows only costs twenty arrows. A normal archer can carry two pots of arrows, which is powerful enough, but the Han Dynasty is full of arrows.
Shield Guard, Falgon's arrows are simply not enough.
In every battle, as long as he goes out on an expedition, Falgon basically has no arrows to use. In this case, it is better to think of other methods, such as blowing darts. The size of this thing, it is enough to carry two to three hundred of them.
Just one pack.
More importantly, when the initial speed of this thing is doubled, the power is still very good. Of course, it is useless when hitting the shield guard's shield, but it is useless when hitting the ordinary shield guard's leggings, hand armor, and face armor.
Wrist guards are still somewhat effective.
Although it has been tested by Falgon and has penetrated the slightly thinner armor plates specially made for movement, the blow dart can only penetrate into the flesh at most.
In addition, the amount of so-called toxins these days is not enough to kill a top elite. As for the particularly effective snake venoms, to be honest, as protein toxins, such high-speed friction can penetrate the armor instantly.
The temperature rise is enough to denature the protein, so this thing can only be used to disgust people.
But before, Falgon was controlled from beginning to end by Chang Shui of the Han army, and he was almost sick to death. When he turned around and studied the army with this kind of control, he felt much happier.
Although it can't kill you, the rate of fire of this thing can reach a very good level. If necessary, you can even refill several guns. In addition, with this thing, even if you are controlled by Changshui, you can continue to fight back.
.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Urdu." Oswin sighed and said. If Falgon is not willing to go, then he can only find Urdu or Salman. It's not that Oswin wants to show off his dignity.
He is powerful, but this guy simply thinks that this matter is not that simple, so he should find someone who can fight, so that if an accident occurs, he can withstand it.
Falgon left and fetched Urdu.
"That's it. I need you to pick it up. After all, it will be good for us to unite our troops as soon as possible." Although Oswin doesn't understand politics, he has experienced hundreds of battles. After seeing Kandahar, he doesn't want to fight, but after all
The promise given to Ardashir cannot be so anticlimactic.
"Let Zasali go with me." Urdu said calmly. The corners of Oswin's mouth twitched. Why don't you let Zasali go? That guy no longer leads the camel ride.
"Okay, you go there as soon as possible." Oswin sighed and said, there is really no other way, so it would be good to let Zasali go with him.
In the Kabul Valley, Chen Zhong's face was already a little gloomy, because the speed of Kushan grain and grass gathering was really inefficient. Even though Oswin's previous march supported Chen Zhong's judgment, the grain and grass gathering behavior in the Kabul Valley had been improved.
Almost everyone agrees.
But Oswin's cheater distributed the grain and grass too scatteredly, and the time required to transport grain and grass from various places to the location designated by Chen Zhong was not the same. In addition, in order to gather more grain and grass, Chen Zhong would not be able to send grain and grass in the early stage.
Mann refused the other party's request when he was preparing food and fodder.
Therefore, so far, Kushan has transported nearly 20 days of grain and grass along the Helmand River, but the grain and grass originally scattered in various basements in the Kabul Valley have not yet gathered in the area circled by Chen Zhong.
Inside.
"We can't drag it on like this any longer." Kurma looked at Chen Zhong with some depression, "If we continue at this speed, even if we gather all the food and grass, it will take this group of people about one to four months to transport them to Oswin and the others.
Ten days’ worth of food and grass.”
It mainly goes down the river, and it is the flood season of the Helmand River right now. Kushan sends ships directly along the river to transport grain downstream, which is so fast that it makes people feel sick.
Of course, the most important thing is that what Chen Zhong said at the time was so reasonable. This group of people really followed Chen Zhong's ideas and carried out the war at the front.
If we defeat our opponents, wouldn't we become sinners? So gather all the food and fodder and distribute food to the front. If something goes wrong, I will take the responsibility.
In the end, Oswin really rushed down, directly to Kandahar, and even mobilized some soldiers and horses from Kabul. This made the remaining soldiers in Kabul feel like they had been given blood. Archbishop Ashacheng's judgment was indeed correct.
Yes, the food and fodder should be moved forward!
So this group of people frantically transported grain and grass to the location planned by Chen Zhong, but here is the problem. These people also transported the grain little by little, and the grain delivery did not stop, which became crazy again.
Mathematical entry and exit problems.
"Let's start in advance, and we have already identified all the storage points." Chen Zhong thought about it and felt that he really couldn't delay it any longer. Otherwise, if he really transported more than a month of food and grass to Oswin's front line, wouldn't it be a complete trap?
.
"Then I will organize the manpower now. Archbishop, please choose a good day and avoid heavy rain." Kulma nodded. He also felt that he could not delay any longer. If he delayed any longer, he would really die.
On the same day, Chen Zhong once again strengthened the patrol of the food and grass gathering point, and caught a few guys who neglected their duties, summoned a group of generals who should be stationed, and showed their heads in front of everyone. After that, his anger did not subside, and he directly
He angrily scolded the general for his inaction and took away the patrol duties at the food and grass gathering point in front of everyone.
