"The biggest problem now is that we are not sure how strong Altay's combat effectiveness can be." Fazheng sighed and said. After two consecutive tests, Altay actually did not show much command ability, but it achieved both.
For your own goals, this is great.
"No matter, let's make preparations at the level of General Huangfu without strangulation." Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "It's really troublesome not knowing how strong the opponent is, but it's just troublesome."
Guan Yu has made up his mind to determine the opponent's command ability. After all, it is just that in the arrangement of the final decisive battle, he can have more effective force to kill the opponent. But now, I don't care about his physical force? If I kill Altay, it is victory.
"In this case, our troop deployment is far behind in terms of the extension line." Fazheng frowned and said, "When the opponent holds the strangulation line, we will probably gain nothing. It can be seen that the opponent is actually
Very cautious.”
Guan Yu nodded. He was mentally prepared to either kill Altay or accept the reality and not take action? This time I will personally defeat the army and challenge you to the king. I will see if you take action or not.
Previously, due to the size of his troops and the blockade of the Kushan front, Guan Yu could not go to the front line in person. This time, I will face you head-on to see how you respond.
"Okay." Fazheng thought for a while, but finally did not refuse the proposal.
Although Guan Yu's plan is a bit biased, one thing is very correct. Altay cannot be solved. Even if there are other ideas, there is a high probability that they will not be implemented. A large army is commanded by a completely inactive and fully defensive army. If the Han army does not seize the opportunity, it will be taken away quickly.
It will only become more disgusting.
After all, the current situation is really the result of the Han army spending a lot of time and energy to achieve it. After this wave, if the Han army wants to achieve such a result, it will have to invest huge amounts of money.
In addition, the morale of the Han army seems to be strong now, but after years of fighting, it is actually a bit tired. Guishang can still be said to be a local defense war. The Han army has traveled thousands of miles to fight, even if it is a consecutive victory.
, and also somewhat tired.
It's just that the generals at the front of the Han army and the bureaucrats at the rear did a good job in not allowing this kind of thinking to ferment, and constantly circulated the soldiers on the front to ensure the overall mentality and combat effectiveness. This way, there has been no major turmoil until now.
.
However, this time, without sufficient preparation, they crossed the Ganges River to capture Baloyaka and extended the front line further to the west. This has caused certain hidden dangers in the management of the Han army here. The soldiers experienced hard battles and were somewhat defeated.
Morale fell.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei incorporated key veterans and sat on the front line himself. The morale problem of the soldiers can be solved to some extent by relying on these methods, but in any case, the Han army does need to be slowed down after the defeat.
This is not due to strength, but simply due to the fatigue caused by long-term fighting. World War II has only been fought for a few years, and the Han army's fighting was much more exciting than World War II, and it really never stopped.
Therefore, Fazheng also realized that being able to quickly kill Altay and prevent the other party from having the opportunity to waste it in the future was more important than killing the Kushan survival force on a larger scale.
"Let's do it this way. Although there is a saying in the art of war that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements and the idea of getting all their achievements in one battle can easily lead to accidents. But this time, please work together and kill Altay in the Ganges River." Guan Yu's eyes were filled with tears.
The sharp light swept over everyone present.
"Yes!" All the generals stood up and replied. They had finally figured out how disgusting the subsequent war would be if Altay was not killed.
The Han army has indeed cracked the street-level positional warfare, but compared to the plain strangulation, this kind of positional warfare is far smaller in terms of the scale of investment and the number of strangulations than in the plain decisive battle. This style of play is very difficult for the attacker.
unfavorable.
Although the attacker occupies the strategic initiative and can attack at any time, some lines of defense cannot be bypassed no matter what. Although the Han army occupies the initiative, Kushan is not a waste, and the Han army will inevitably be screened out in the game.
A line of defense that cannot be bypassed no matter what.
After a group of people left, Guan Yu looked at the map of the lower reaches of the Ganges River and began to estimate Chen Xi's location. It was not that the Han army was unwilling to send a few inner Qi separated from the body to send Chen Xi back. Guo Jiadu was sent back like this before.
Chen Xi has no problem enjoying such treatment.
But today is different from the past. When Guo Jia was sent away, the biggest problem of taking people back to the Han Dynasty after leaving the body was that they would be attacked, so they only needed to avoid certain key areas.
But now the entire Ganges River area has entered a state of supermodel clouds. At least until it passes Brahmas, there are supermodel clouds everywhere. Want to fly? Do you think you are Lu Bu?
Under the suppression of the army's cloud energy, some top bosses can indeed fly, but because the cloud gas offsets the internal energy protection, if such a boss takes Chen Xifei with him, the boss will be fine, but Chen Xi will definitely be broken, so the final discussion
After fighting for a while, Guan Yu ordered the elite veterans to protect Chen Xi and return to the rear first. When the battle was over, the Han army sent the internal energy to separate the body and send Chen Xi directly back to Chang'an.
Of course, those veterans are mostly used to guard against the young men who infiltrate from Guishang. Those people are not very strong, and with Chen Xi returning eastward, the probability of encountering those young men is constantly decreasing. There is no need for two.
Qianduo is protected by all the elites, but who let him be Chen Xi.
"Zichuan is probably almost at Brahasi." Guan Yu pointed at the map and asked with some estimation, "After Brahasi and entering our control area, it will be much safer."
Although the rear area is indeed a bit empty due to the deployment of troops, as long as Chen Xi passes through Brahasi, the Han army will feel more or less like they are at home.
"I guess we can't get there. If they were all veterans, they would have arrived a long time ago. Zichuan's marching speed will not be fast. He wants stability." Fazheng looked at it and complained casually, "He should stay in Brahmas for a few days.
Tian, then go to Huashi City to meet Zhong Shangshu."
Guan Yu nodded after hearing this, and returned to his own control area on time, just waiting for the war to end. Wandering on the front line, it was inevitable that he would be a little hesitant.
As Vesudeva I led Oswin to leave, the atmosphere on the entire Ganges-Yamuna River front quickly became tense. Even the Kushan soldiers who knew nothing about it felt the huge changes in the current atmosphere, and then changed.
Have to be cautious.
"Three generals, sit down." After Oswin and others left, Altay immediately summoned the commander of the Roman barbarians, because the next war would be difficult to fight with him.
The three Dihuang Wan and his men took their seats directly without saying a word. They knew that what happened next would seriously affect the development of the entire battle.
Altay directly told Macrinus what happened behind the scenes without any cover-up. At this time, there was no point in concealing it. Macrinus had to be brought on board.
"In other words, we can only rely on us from now on?" Macrinus looked at Altay with a cautious look, "We can't defeat the Han Dynasty with just our strength."
"But if it's just a delay, it's no problem. When the rear is free and the navy can move down the river, one day is enough. As long as we hold on until then, we will win." Altay said calmly.
This is not nonsense, nor is it a pie-in-the-sky plan, but a truly executable plan.
If the Kushan army can defeat Zhou Yu and Kou Jun at the foot of Qunu City, then the Han army will need to retreat quickly anyway, and even need to abandon Baloyega, because the Kushan army that defeated Zhou Yu will go down the river directly.
You can launch a pincer attack on the Han army from both front and rear.
In this way, even if the Han army is super strong, it will be difficult to withstand this kind of strangulation.
"If this is the case, there is no problem on my side. After all, we are mercenaries. We just follow your command." Macrinus immediately changed his mind and said that there is no problem on his side. As an excellent mercenary, the employer has no problem.
, then he must be fine.
"Let's talk openly and honestly." Altay looked at Macrinus's expression. After a while, he took out a roll of maps, opened it, and said to Macrinus.
Macrinus didn't know why. He opened the map and looked at the troop distribution arrows drawn on it. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, until he saw a certain arrow clearly, his expression suddenly became more solemn. Then he looked at Altay without asking, just like that.
Watch.
"It's true." Altai said calmly, "The Han army is really strong, but we are not weak either. We still have this strength."
"Theoretically, I shouldn't be qualified to see this map. It already represents your Kushan's current overall strategy. I think I'm not qualified." Macrinus looked at Altay carefully. This kind of thing is actually allowed.
Is he watching? Not afraid that he will be exposed.
"It's nothing. In my opinion, the information you released to Zhang Fei is not wrong." Altay said with half-squinted eyes. They Guishang are not fools. This can still be found out. "Similarly, this information
I show it to you just to let you understand that the situation has not reached that point yet and we can still fight."
Macrinus nodded. Without this map, it would be difficult for Macrinus to think of a complete strategic layout. But with this map, Macrinus could clearly understand the war between the Han army and the Kushan army.
The war may have just begun.
"Now you can stand in our position with peace of mind." Altay looked at Macrinus and said, relying solely on the troops left by Kushan was not enough, but with Macrinus, Altay was still confident of fighting Guan Yu.
The point of fighting is not to win anyway, but to delay time.
The current situation in Kushan looks relatively bad, but as long as it survives Zhou Yu's first wave of attacks, Kushan can push back, so Altay did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
Of course, if Altay received the news that Zhou Yu had captured the outer city of Qunu City, he would not be as confident as he is now.
"We have stood on Kushan's side from the beginning." Macrinus said sincerely. Altay was noncommittal after hearing this. What he wanted was not to be perfunctory, otherwise there would be no need for this.
"But can I ask a question?" After expressing his loyalty, Macrinus looked at Altay with an extremely solemn expression.
"What's the problem?" Altay looked at Macrinus.
"Is the Han army really unprepared near the mouth of the Ganges?" Macrinus pointed to the huge offensive arrow with a very serious expression.
"There are defenses, and there are a lot of defenses. Even three ships with thirty-six warships equipped with flagships and escorts are not capable of conquering the entrance of the Ganges." Altay explained, "The Han army has no idea where it is.
The precautions are very good.”
The Han army did not attack the Bay of Cambay, the Bay of Kutch and other places where the Kushan fleet was likely to exist. The Kushan army did not attack the Han army's shipyards near the estuary of the Ganges and the Bay of Bengal. A large part of the reason was because of this
Dense permanent super-heavy forts along the coast.
These things, combined with the country's fleet, are enough to defeat the attacking opponents until they collapse.
As for raising a fleet of decisive battle size, if you can come, Zhou Yu can come, and the problem of Kushan battleships has not been solved before. Even if a fleet large enough to be forced in is raised, Zhou Yu will come with the main force and cooperate with the local competition.
Even if Lean is resurrected, both are dead.
Therefore, Kushan had been avoiding a decisive battle with Zhou Yu before, but now that there are ships, the Han navy must divide its forces to assist the main force of the Han army because of Sun Ce. This is a very important opportunity for the Kushan navy.
.
Mengkhambu's original plan was to go to the Bay of Bengal to seduce Zhou Yu. With Zhou Yu's mentality as the devil of the world, he would most likely pounce directly. By then all the main forces of Kushan would attack, relying on the large warships that had been reorganized to catch Zhou Yu off guard. Good luck.
If you are lucky, you can even take Zhou Yu away. If you are not lucky, you can also severely damage the Han Dynasty navy.
Strategically speaking, once the heavy damage to the Han Dynasty navy was completed, Mengkangbu turned around and dared to recapture Malacca. After controlling the traffic in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, Kushan once again grasped the strategic advantage of the ocean, and could continue to rely on
The navy cut off the Han army's logistics line.
This kind of blow is not fatal, but for the navy, it is a convenient and convenient thing to do, but it can contain many Han troops.
As a result, Zhou Yu has now gone to Qunu City. When receiving this news, Altay was stunned at first, and then shocked, but then he realized that this was definitely good news for Mengkangbu. The Han army was hoarding the navy in the Bay of Bengal.
, without Zhou Yu's command, facing Meng Kambu would definitely be a death, and after killing the navy in the Bay of Bengal, Meng Kambu would definitely march in.
Although Kushan was captured from his hometown, Altay analyzed the situation and clearly realized that Mengkangbu had the possibility of directly defeating the Han navy and marching straight along the Ganges River.
Because of this realization, Altay clearly knew that the war between the two sides was actually only in the first stage, and victory or defeat was not yet certain!
