After all, defensive counterattacks at least have the opportunity to turn passive into active, and pure defense will lose if it is defended for a long time, which is never a joke.
[Rahman is good at defense, and compared to what I saw for the first time and what the other party deliberately showed me, I believe more in the judgment of intelligence and the cautious and prudent battlefield veteran. 】Li Hui silently compared the images and speculated on the direction of the situation based on the situation.
"De'ang, you're back." Li Hui rode back on his pony, and it took him less than a day to meet Zhang Ren, who was leading the army.
Different from other people's marching arrangements, Zhang Ren is usually at the front of the legion when marching. On the one hand, he is keeping an eye on the possible omissions of the reconnaissance cavalry, and on the other hand, he is also avoiding ambushes.
"Well, the situation is not good." Li Hui nodded and went straight to the topic, "The Kushan side has changed its coach. The original coach Brahe was replaced by Rahman, who is the mature and prudent person mentioned in the intelligence. General, I am thinking that if I pass this point in time, the other party may be suspicious of us, after all, this point in time is too coincidental."
Zhang Ren frowned slightly when he heard this, and also remembered how troublesome Rahman was in the intelligence. According to the intelligence, the other party was indeed a very good commander. With such a person in charge of the camp, Zhang Ren had to think about his previous experience. Plan.
"If you doubt this, you will definitely doubt it, but it is difficult for the other party to be sure of this kind of thing." Zhang Ren said slowly, "As for Rahman..."
Speaking of which, when generals were changed in ancient times, the new general generally needed to bring his own headquarters, because if the relationship was tense, he would most likely be left alone without the headquarters to suppress him. If the situation was tense, the new commander-in-chief of the past might even be left alone. Be done away with.
Generally speaking, in ancient times, a new commander without a headquarters would not be randomly assigned to take over an army. The risk involved was too high. Generally speaking, a general who could take over an army alone was either extremely capable or his prestige was enough to suppress the previous general.
Zhang Ren didn't believe it at all that Rahman came on a forced march, because Rahman was clearly mentioned in the intelligence sent by the Han Dynasty, and the delay of the intelligence was not high, which meant that Rahman If it were a forced march, it would probably take less than ten days.
To put it bluntly, if it only takes ten days for a standard legion to march from Baiwasha to the west of Wenjia, then the Han Dynasty basically does not need to fight this battle!
Because it is impossible to win. No matter how weak Kushan is, it can be regarded as a country in the empire second only to the Han Dynasty in terms of combat potential. Because of the terrible output of the Ganges Plain, the number of people it can support is even higher than that of Rome. There is no way to compare with it.
Although the Ganges River itself is not a world-class river, and it has been made a mess by a group of people, the Ganges Plain is indeed the most fertile and high-quality plain in the world. Just such a piece of land could support the population in ancient times. I am afraid that I will be able to compete with the Central Plains.
It can be said that Kushan, which occupies this plain, can always stand in the ranks of the empire as long as it does not commit suicide and relies on its huge population. Land output is not a problem. For an ancient agricultural country, it is This means that human resources are almost endless.
Although the human sea tactic is inferior, it is definitely one of the top tactics in the cold weapon era. In addition, the forced march only takes ten days, which means that logistics is not a problem at all.
In this case, with the human sea tactics and worry-free logistics, the only way to defeat Guishang is to wait for Chen Xi's Krypton-Gold Shield Guard Corps to come online.
The distance that can be reached by a forced march of ten days from the capital, even if you are traveling lightly and eating locally, these areas are also the core and elite areas of the empire.
And what is this place called Mingshan? It is close to Mon State (the mouth of Bangladesh) and is probably thousands of kilometers away from the essence of Kushan. Taking into account the unresolved road and jungle problems, it is impossible to reach it so quickly even if you take the Ganges River.
That is to say, Rahman must be alone here, and if he can come to take over the camp alone, he can also leave everyone speechless. In addition to his qualifications, he also has ability. To put it simply, for Brahe, the other party At least it is equivalent to Yan Yan to Zhang Ren.
Although Yan Yan has said several times that Zhang Ren is not inferior to him, but to be honest, the backbone of the Yizhou army is still Yan Yan. Zhang Ren was defeated, and Yan Yan was still able to stabilize the situation of the army. Yan was defeated, and Zhang Ren would never be able to stabilize his army.
This is the biggest gap between the two. Maybe there is not much difference between the two in terms of leading troops in combat, but in terms of the trust of his soldiers and the ability to judge, Yan Yan still has the ability to stabilize Zhang Ren, and this kind of trust , which can be substantially transformed into strength on the battlefield.
"De'ang, you go back to the camp first and leave it to me. Even if the opponent is proficient in defensive operations, we must fight this battle. Before the opponent's reinforcements come, we must have a psychological advantage and maintain absolute morale to deal with it. The other party will withdraw to the camp and defend the country." After Zhang Ren thought for a while, the pressure in his heart became much lighter.
"Well, since you are mentally prepared, I won't say more. We are really not as good at war as you are." Li Hui nodded, seeing Zhang Ren's expression, he understood. Having made up his mind, he said no more, nodded and left directly.
"Rahman? You are proficient in defensive operations, so those small means may not be effective. If you set a fire, the opponent will definitely be prepared. However, some things cannot be defended without preparation." Zhang Ren's face appeared With a grin, Zhang Ren has completely mastered his legion talent since Nandou handed over his power to Zhang Ren.
By now, Zhang Ren has completely mastered his own legion talent. In addition, I don't know if it is because of Nandou's power. The elite of the headquarters originally led by Zhang Ren have adapted to his own commander's legion talent far better than the elites of other generals.
Although it cannot be called perfect due to some external factors, the elites who fully fit in and are integrated into their own legion's talents can be regarded as the best even among dual talents.
It's a pity that the talents of this legion are a bit different. After all, it is not the kind of violent attack legion. It has a strong life-saving ability. But if you really want to say that the frontal combat effectiveness is not too strong, of course it is enough for Zhang Ren now. .
After Li Hui left, the Kushan camp began to conduct extensive reconnaissance. About two days later, Guishan determined the location of Meng Huo's regiment. Even though Meng Huo's scouts were very well-arranged, to sneak into such a location would be difficult. Kushan's disappearing scouts were a revelation in themselves.
"The Han Empire has arrived." Rahman looked at the messy information in his hand with indifference, "In that case, Brahe, you will lead Yan Lipu and Carano's army to the east first, and prepare the enemy to cross the camp first. A pincer attack arrangement.”
Upon hearing this, Brahe bowed and saluted, and directly led his guards to leave, preparing to gather all his troops to leave the camp first and prepare to fight with the Han Dynasty.
"General, in this case, our army will inevitably divide its troops in order to conceal our division of troops in advance. This formation, that is, the camp's strength is somewhat lacking. Once the opponent discovers this situation and fights to the death, it may be possible. All at once." After Brahe left, Helilach frowned and said after a while.
In Helilach's view, this method of planning is too dangerous. If a mistake is made, someone will really die.
"No, it depends on the situation whether we will divide our forces to pursue the vanguard of the Han army who crossed the camp, or whether the whole army will stick to the camp. I have not figured out the other party's purpose. If it is to annihilate us and stick to the camp, it is impossible for them to do so. Do it,” Rahman said, shaking his head.
After hearing this, Sulapli said slowly, "We directly believe that the other party is aiming to annihilate us, or that the other party is aiming to completely defeat us. It is easier for us to deal with clear goals with assumptions in this way."
"No matter which one it is, there is a reference condition, that is, the absolute strength of the Han army can break the defense line of our camp." Rahman shook his head, "The surveillance on our side has not stopped, and the strength of the Han army has not stopped. There are no changes, the barbarian troops recruited temporarily do not have much influence on us, the real soldiers are still the real soldiers."
"General, do you mean that if we stand still and wait for reinforcements, there is absolutely nothing the Han Dynasty can do against us?" Helilach asked before Lebrali.
"Well, there is no absolute gap in the overall combat effectiveness between our army and the Han Dynasty. What is lacking is actually dispatch and coordination. While we are waiting for reinforcements, it is impossible for the other side to defeat us. After all, time is running out. In our camp There is no shortage of food and there are water wells arranged, so it is absolutely impossible for the other side to capture us in a short time." Rahman said sonorously.
"I applied to be transferred to Brahe." Helilach suddenly said with a helpless tone. Hearing this, Rahman frowned and looked at Helilach, who saw a relaxed expression on his face. He raised his hands and slowly unfolded them, and a faint spiritual glow appeared in Helilach's hands.
"If I assist Brahe, our army's victory rate can be improved by a few points. The general himself is proficient in defense, and the camp defense layout itself is not neglected. As long as we hold on and wait for Brahe to return victoriously, it will be easier to counterattack in one fell swoop. ." Helilach said with a faint smile.
"What kind of ability?" Rahman glanced at the radiance of spirit in Helilach's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then, the slight dissatisfaction he had due to the sudden request to change the plan completely dissipated, and even his face that had always been stern was completely gone. There was also a smile from the heart, this was the glory of the spirit!
"The glory of the coming world." Helilach replied respectfully.
