If Yan Yan takes away 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 regular soldiers now, considering the current scale of the Central and South Base, the defense of this camp will be somewhat problematic.
Although Zhang Ren and others did not think that Guishuang could block Yan Yan on the frontal battlefield and at the same time still have room to dispatch a second detachment with considerable combat effectiveness, using large penetration tactics or infiltration tactics to directly bypass the battlefield. , came to sneak attack the Han army camp.
After all, while this tactic has extremely high requirements on the strength of the Kushan army, it also has high requirements on the leader of the Kushan detachment. Because of this kind of attack, if one person does not play well or one person makes a mistake in judgment, the second detachment will be destroyed. It will all be destroyed.
In other words, in order to play this level of tactics, either the Kushan coach himself must be of very high standard, or the Kushan army must have the dual core of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan.
By the way, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were the best players in this tactic in the history of the Central Plains. General Wei formed his troops and carried the enemy's main force to death, forcing the opponent's army to concentrate on attacking Wei Qing. After that, the champion Hou Lead thousands or more than ten thousand elites to attack the opponent's hometown.
Blow up the opponent's hometown and force the opponent's hometown to go to the front to convey the news that the hometown has been lost or attacked, causing turmoil in the morale of the military. Then, depending on the situation, there needs to be another major penetration, and go up to the front to surround and annihilate the opponent's core force with General Wei.
This tactic is a very effective and simple to understand tactic, but if you really want to use this tactic, it is completely easy to learn but difficult to master.
Of course, Zhang Ren is not actually afraid of Kuishang using this kind of tactics on his opponent. He is quite sure about the combat effectiveness of himself and his legion. There are 20,000 troops stationed in the camp. Even if Guishang can send 20,000 people, Zhang Ren will not Be confident that you will never be defeated by the opponent.
What's more, Yan Yan is not weak. He can let thousands of people run past his eyes and can really make tens of thousands of people play a big game. Are you kidding? Yan Yan is too important.
It's just that for this kind of thing, we must be prepared. The protection of the camp must be placed in the most important order. Even if Kushan can think of this tactic is a problem, the camp must also leave enough troops to deal with any emergencies, 20,000 There are really few people stationed at such a base.
"This is indeed a problem." Yan Yan frowned and said. He is also a veteran on the battlefield. He also knows that he must calculate defeat before winning. Even if the opponent is very bad, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren tend to settle down first. In the place of defeat, try to win again, "How about I leave ten thousand soldiers behind?"
"Well, that's okay, but it's better to leave 10,000 regular soldiers. If you leave 10,000 soldiers, your side won't look like the main force." Zhang Ren thought for a while and said, he and Yan Yan both belong to the kind of very A low-key, very stable general rarely seeks death like Gan Ning. He always strives for victory in a stable manner.
"Then I will leave 10,000 regular soldiers, and then you can defend the camp. But really, there is nothing easy to defend in this camp. There are crossbows at every key point. The ordinary way to break through such a camp is a complete fantasy. Yan Yan nodded, and then praised Zhang Ren for his defense of the forward base.
"General Yan must remember to lure the other party over when the time comes. I will also start to gather the auxiliary soldiers who rush home to harvest food." Zhang Ren nodded and said with a smile. Everyone likes to hear good things, so they all Okay, everyone is happy.
Both Yan Yan and Zhang Ren knew that there was not much time at the moment. After making the decision, they quickly took action. Yan Yan led his troops to test Guishang first. On the one hand, it was to gain time, and on the other hand, it was to touch the enemy. Get to know the details of Kuishang.
After all, Guishuang had been defeated not long ago, and now it was killing them again as if nothing was wrong. Both Yan Yan and Zhang Ren were a little suspicious of whether the other party had some trump card.
As for the army of military souls holding down the formation, Yan Yan is actually not cowardly at all. At most, thirty thousand soldiers can resist head-on. Those who are strong and strong can just push forward in formation with weapons. The army of military souls can only be that small. A man has his legion's endowment, and as long as it doesn't collapse, it will wear him to death.
Of course, if possible, Yan Yan does not want to use this method to stop Guishang. If the opponent is really strong, Yan Yan will definitely rely on his legion's talents to fight and retreat, pull the opponent back to the main base of Zhongnan, and then gather benefits. All civil servants and generals in the state fought a war of annihilation.
On the other side, Rahul is looking at the intelligence collected by his subordinates’ reconnaissance. Just like the Han army has discovered Rahul’s army, the reconnaissance on Rahul’s side has also touched the Han army’s central and southern main base. Compared with Bra Among the young people, Rahul is more experienced and pays more attention to details.
"Crossbows? There are more than a thousand heavy- and medium-sized crossbows according to visual inspection? There are layouts at each crossing and key points. Well, the inner base has been built like this, and it has actually been piled up into mountains." Rahul frowned and looked at it. Looking at the information sent back by the scouts, he looked a little solemn.
"It's really a trouble. It can be seen that the other party is very experienced in holding on." Rahul threw aside the leaf that recorded the information.
In fact, Rahul even wanted to curse when he saw the information sent back by the scouts. The composition that could be observed in the opponent's camp simply extinguished any normal person's idea of attacking by force.
It is true that Zhang Ren does not have that much manpower to excavate huge rocks to build city walls and build cities. After all, this plain is too big, it is not easy to find huge rocks, and it is not cost-effective to bake bricks on the spot.
So Zhang Ren listened to the advice of the construction worker Fei Shi and directly piled soil into mountains. Now there are several mountains piled outside the camp, and then built defensive offensives on these mountains...
This mode of building defense really opened Rahul's eyes. I had never seen anyone do this in Kushan before. The mountain was not high, only one or two hundred meters. The problem was that there was no way to attack from above during the war. Compared with defending the hills and cutting down the plains, the difficulty factor should be at least two more stars.
But this time I learned something. A mountain of dirt is also a pretty good defensive building. Although it is a bit disappointing, this method of building defense is universal enough.
"General, isn't the crossbow defense a bad thing that we have used badly? If the opponent sticks to it, we can just use the original method to counterattack." Durga said excitedly.
Durga didn't understand the meaning of piles of soil and thought it was just a regular plain camp with a large number of crossbows. This was also a very classic defense method. However, this kind of arrangement was not what northern Kushan faced when it came to During the Peacock Legion, it had already been cracked.
"No, my original idea was to march slowly, induce the opponent to come out of camp to attack us, and then send Kailash or Gars to lead the most elite troops to quickly attack the opponent's camp to disrupt the situation and unleash the Kshatriya warrior army. Use your advantage to defeat the opponent's camp." Rahul crossed his hands and said with a solemn expression.
"But it's still possible now. The other party has sent 40,000 to 50,000 troops to deal with us. This force is obviously here to find out." Durga asked puzzledly.
"The previous tactics had to be fast, otherwise it would not be possible to disrupt us. The tactics used by those who used earthwork to deal with us could avoid crossbows, but without speed, even the Kshatriya warrior army could If you can win, it won't be worthwhile if you lose too much." Rahul said calmly.
Rahul didn't say anything else. Earthworks can avoid crossbows, but the problem is that there are several mountains at the entrance to the camp opposite. It is obvious that these mountains are also the result of large-scale earthworks, which is disgusting to all trenches. Enemy troops approaching the camp defense.
"That's it." Kailash nodded. The Kshatriya warrior army has not yet been fully formed, and as Rahul said, too many people cannot die.
"Then we defeat the opponent with regular troops?" Nakuru thought for a while and said, "But this matter is not that easy. The quality of the Han army is very high, and the generals are also more cautious. Before we defeat the opponent, the opponent should A choice will be made.”
"No, it is still necessary to attack the Han army camp, but the focus must be biased." Rahul said with a solemn expression, "We no longer rely on attacking the Han army camp, but use trenches to test the front of the opponent's camp. The ultimate distance of the crossbow machine on the earth mountain to suppress the trench."
"General, can you please tell me what kind of fortifications Tushan is?" Durga and others have not yet realized what Tushan is. To be precise, before encountering such a thing for the first time in the camp offensive and defensive battle, normal people would It's hard to imagine this kind of gameplay.
In fact, when Yan Yan came to the Zhongnan Base not long ago, he was stunned when he saw the mountains of earth at the entrance of the camp. What is the city wall? The shaped mountain of earth can easily be piled dozens of feet high.
Although the height of the pile increased slowly as it went back, it was nothing. There were many people and they were willful. So Fei Shi worked hard to pile several mountains of earth after Zhang Ren left and before the people had harvested food. But what he originally thought Surrounding the camp with mountains of earth has not yet been completed.
But now the Han Dynasty's main base in Zhongnan looks quite spectacular, which really makes people less eager to attack.
"That's it." Rahul realized at this time that this kind of fortifications had never appeared in Kushan, and normal people would not build such a thing, so he made two gestures to let Kushan and others The generals all knew this.
"..." Durga, Kailash and others were stunned, admiring the imagination of the generals of the Han Empire. If you build a circle of this kind of fortification, it will be difficult to attack even if you want to.
"It's hard to attack a camp like this." Garth frowned, "If we let the Kshatriya warrior army attack according to the previous plan, we will lose the first battle, or even worse, we may be in big trouble. .”
