"Miranda and Naresh..." There was obvious disappointment on Durga's face. Kushan could bear the ordinary damage of inner energy from the body, but this kind of inner energy can lead the army in battle. Out of the body, every loss is a substantial loss of Kushan's overall strength, not to mention that these are Durga's comrades.
"Durga, what should we do?" Vikas asked almost as directly as Partha.
"Why are you panicking?" Durga's expression gradually recovered, "Bring me the map."
Soon a crew member brought the map to Durga, and Szegedi, as a staff officer, also followed. Durga stretched out his hand to open the map, looked at the layout on the map, and naturally placed his hand on Samadhi. On the Xizha City, he then took it back and landed at Huashi City, and then naturally looked at the next supply point.
"If the Han army attacks here..." Durga pointed at Huashi City with squinted eyes, and then calculated the distance. Her eyes suddenly turned cold and she couldn't catch up.
Szegedi frowned, and after thinking for a while, he made up his mind.
"Fahrenheit City?" Vikas looked at the location pointed by Durga on the map with an ugly expression. After a while, he looked at Durga with gloomy eyes, "We don't have time to retreat now, I don't have enough food, and the current supplies point……"
"Okay, no problem. The other side will definitely attack here. Parsa, you go back to Peshawar directly. Remember to inform the guard at Brahshas and guard Brahsh no matter what." Durga said with a solemn expression. "Inform the rear of our situation."
"What about us people?" Vikas was stunned when he heard this. Durga was directly announcing his defeat.
"First go to the city of Kalanasuvasi for supplies, and then retreat back by a hundred chariots. If the opponent has enough auxiliary troops, we can't defeat it." Durga looked gloomy, but said calmly, "Stand tight. , stop the loss first, and then think of other ways.”
"What about Lidas?" Pasa asked with a dark face.
"Just announce the treason in the country and let others be careful not to be deceived by him." At this point, Durga didn't care about Lidas at all. On the contrary, she could pin this matter on Lidas's treason, reluctantly It was a lucky escape.
Perhaps seeing the hesitation on Partha's face, Durga warned again, "Now that the matter has come to this, even if the other party was once our comrade-in-arms, treason is treason. Everyone has his own ambitions, and the other party can be ruthless to attack you." , already illustrates the mentality.”
"I know this." Pasha sighed and said, "I just think it's a little strange, or there's something secretive about it."
"There must be something we don't know, but now is not the time to think about it. Let's pass on the news of Lidas' rebellion first to prevent the other party from deceiving the city. The rest can be verified later." Durga said calmly, His mind is very clear and he knows what is important and what is important.
"Then I will go and inform various places to strengthen their defenses and send messages to the rear." Pasa nodded and said, "You should also be careful here."
"Pasa, wait a moment." Szegedi suddenly stopped Pasa who was about to fly away and said.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Pasa asked in confusion.
"Well, go to Zhanbo first, and then notify the cities along the way that can supply food to burn the food." Segedi said in a low voice, and Pasa was surprised.
"You will be reprimanded by the superiors if you do this..." Pasha said in a low voice, and Szegedi dragged Pasha aside and explained in a low voice. Pasha nodded silently, and then flew towards the west.
"Be careful along the way." Durga didn't ask what exactly Szegedi said to Pasa, but just waved her hand with a calm expression.
Soon after Pasa left, Vikas also flew to the place where he was stationed as soon as possible. After all, his side was suffering heavy losses. If no one was watching, the whole army might be defeated.
After the two left, Durga changed his calm expression, his face was twisted, and he clenched his hands into fists. Banerjee and Miranda were both good friends with him, and they had all been promoted under Rahul. As a result, now, they Died in battle.
"Han Army!" Durga said through gritted teeth, but soon calmed down. There was an obvious cold look in her eyes. She knew that even if she mobilized elite soldiers and concentrated food and grass, it would be impossible to rush back before the Han Army. In Fahrenheit City, Durga accelerated directly to the city of Kalanasuvastana.
Lidas has been running wildly since he left the camp, marching at high speed with his belief in the god Jialan. Unfortunately, Lidas himself is a fanatical believer. After Lidas took over, the soldiers under his command also all moved at high speed because of the belief of their coach. Gradually he became a follower of God Jialan.
After God Jialan came to the world this time, these people basically became fanatical believers, which is why these soldiers all showed terrible willpower and execution after God Jialan gave the order, marching all the way from morning to night.
To be honest, if there are really no enemies nearby, and they force one day to camp and rest on the spot, without even patrolling personnel, if they are attacked at night, the average level of the soldiers with the same level as Lidas's group of soldiers is one-fifth One, I'm afraid they can annihilate all these people.
It's not that Lidas doesn't understand the art of war or how to march and form a formation. On the contrary, Lidas' level is basically at the same level as Kailash. Whether it's strength or combat, he can rank in the Central Plains. Get on.
It's a pity that Lidas burned everything for the God of Jialan. If the God of Jialan said he wanted to go fast, then this guy would speed up at all costs, regardless of how dangerous this way of marching would bring, although he still had the same characteristics as before. experience and common sense, but no human awe.
To be precise, Lidas dedicated all his reverence to the god Jialan. Because of this behavior, all the qualities he still had have been abandoned. Fulfilling the oracle is the most important thing. Those things are not unreasonable. I understand, but it is not as important as completing the oracle.
But there is no need for this at this time. The soldiers under Sakala and others have basically become frightened. Even if they saw Lidas's forced march, they did not dare to attack.
Because of this, although Lidas did not release the scouts and did not retain his physical strength, no one dared to attack him. It was a blessing in misfortune.
Lidas ignored the marching rules because of the oracle, while Guan Yu marched steadily, carrying a huge amount of baggage while surveying. About six days later, Guan Yu's scouts and Durr Scouts under Jia's command made contact.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhanbo's food and grass have been burned." Guo Jia sighed.
"You said before that Lidas should not be burned, but it seems that there is basically no change in the result." Xu Shu glanced at Guo Jia sideways and said.
"This is inevitable, there are some smart people on the other side." Guo Jia said calmly, "At least I got this news, but these are just rumors, the other side definitely doesn't know what I want to do. "
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the huge baggage team. Yes, no matter how good the skills are, if they can't break the Tao, it's all nonsense.
At the same time, there has been some restlessness among the auxiliary soldiers under Durga. Some time ago, after a large number of fanatic followers of Jialan God were liberated by Guan Yu, there were many fanatic believers who followed the oracle and went west to spread the name of Jialan God. Those who ran less quickly were already gathered up by Durga as their defeated soldiers.
This kind of thing is really normal. As for the issue of faith, to be honest, Durga really didn't pay much attention to this at this time. After all, the entire southern Kushan area and ancient India were all followers of Brahmanism and believed in Brahma.
However, the gods and Buddhas of Brahmanism are a system. In addition to believing in the big boss Brahma, everyone also believes in minor gods. Therefore, no one cares about the fact that the captured soldiers spread the belief in God Galan in the camp. God Galan is also a god. , it’s normal for some people to believe it.
Therefore, many crazy followers of Jialan God worked hard to spread the reputation of Jialan God in Durga's camp. However, without Guan Yu as a reference, the effect was not very good.
Of course, it can’t be said that no one wants to believe it, it can only be said that the proportion is low. However, those believers who use visualizing the God of Jialan to improve their strength quickly joined forces after coming into contact with these fanatic believers. Precisely because they were visualizing the God of Jialan, they Be more sure of the words of these believers than others.
To put it in a similar way, when ordinary Brahman believers hear the story about the incarnation of God Jialan who has become a fanatic believer in Guan Yu, most of them will be skeptical. Those believers who are easy to trust others will gradually believe it after the other party takes the trouble to tell it.
But when people who were originally believers of Jialan God heard the words of this group of fanatical believers, the inner connection would make them naturally agree with these words, and relying on this connection, they could easily join together, and then they would spontaneously Efforts to spread the belief in Jialan God.
Durga's subordinates are pretty good, because most of them have never seen Guan Yu, and those who fled back have basically seen Guan Yu. After all, the tall and powerful Guan Yu wears very conspicuous clothes, and everyone has them. See.
If they had suspected that the other party was telling lies before, then now, such rumors continue to enter their minds. Compared with Guan Yu's cold and arrogant look when he marched on the battlefield, that kind of heaviness as powerful as a mountain, let They suddenly woke up, the other party was God Jialan!
This change of thinking went from firm denial, to half-belief, and finally to basic belief, and then the saying that God Jialan was preparing to cleanse the sins of the world began to spread widely.
"The main force of the Han army is attacking this way?" Durga said calmly while holding the leaf book with no emotion on her face.
"Yes, General." The orderer said carefully.
"I ordered people to notify the various ministries and generals to come to discuss matters." Durga said calmly.
Following Durga's order, the camp outside the city of Kalanasuvashana began to operate quickly. Soon all the generals and generals from all the ministries came together. When they saw the other people, all the arriving generals and generals looked at each other. There was a bit of speculation all over the place.
"The Han army is coming." Durga said coldly.
"It seems as Szegedi estimated, the other party is here to show off their power, and by the way, they are making a gesture of marching westward." Sakala glanced at the middle-aged man Durga attacked. If he really wanted to say that, this People can be regarded as their military advisors, but there is no such position in the southern Kushan area, so the other party is also a general like them.
"It's not a gesture. No matter what we do, they will definitely march westward. We don't know what the real purpose of the Han army's sending troops is, but if the Han army doesn't turn around, they can only choose to march westward." Szegedi said silently. He shook his head and said.
"Really? As long as we don't defeat them, they will move westward, right?" Sakala raised an eyebrow and looked at Szegedi and said.
"It's like if we easily break into the Han Dynasty, will we turn around and go back?" Szegedi said calmly, "There is no need to be confused about what they want to do in front of them, just focus on what they want to get. Yes, all strategies are just to achieve the ultimate goal."
"Then what do you think their ultimate goal is?" Kailash looked at Segedi unhappily and said. He always felt that he was a fool by staying with this guy. This feeling made him stay with him. Sometimes, there is always irritability.
"The stage target is Fahrenheit City. I estimate that the limit the opponent can grasp is this location. If they go further, they are more likely to take advantage." Szegedi said, pointing to a map that was far more accurate than that of the Han Dynasty. .
"The problem is that after passing this place, all of us will be doomed." Kailash said with a dark face.
"It's impossible. There are four regular legions of 10,000 people stationed in Brahmas. One of them is said to belong to the Brahmins, but everyone knows that it belongs to the Northern Padao Corps." Szegedi shook his head and said , "The main force of the Han army is immobile, and the only option is Lidas Deception City. There is nothing we can do about Huashi City. We were caught off guard, but it is impossible for Brahmasi."
Because the South is the money bag, although the North can get money and food by force every year, the Brahmins are always cheating and do not want to give it, so the North nailed a legion to the South when it was the strongest.
Of course, the North actually wanted to pin this legion to one of the two cities, Qunv City or Modala City. However, the Brahmins who were beaten so badly and gave in were very stubborn in this regard, saying that you want to If you dare to attack these two places, we will continue to fight.
Back then, the northern military aristocracy was still very strong, and when the grasslands were still intact, they had all kinds of cavalry, and they were not afraid of Brahmins' toughness at all. Back then, these people were real conquerors, and they came in by force. They didn't care if the Brahmins were tough.
In the end, the emperor was persuaded, and the nail was driven into the city of Brahmas, which was located on the eastern edge of the southern bustling area. Later, the strength of the northern military nobles began to be eroded by the southern Brahmins, and the name of this regiment was also changed to He joined the Brahmin side of the Padujia warrior group.
Although the northern aristocrats have cultural deficiencies that have led to them being eroded by the Brahmins, they have never given up. To be honest, the northern military aristocrats who have not given up until now are basically hard-core and have historically been a group of people who would rather They will rebel and create divisions, and they will never join forces with the Brahmins to become the strong backbone of the Kshatriyas.
The leaders, such as Forvod, Zasali, Gacholi, and Balak, are all die-hard elements. Therefore, this generation has already become rebellious, and even a group of people who started to create de facto splits in the past few years have given birth to a group of people. A reorganized elite legion was stationed in the city of Gesi.
This group of people went too far, and they were ready to use such an elite regiment to stab the Brahmins in the back. The Brahmins discovered that after the current generation of the Padu Armored Corps changed defenses, they were all elites who could fight, so they quickly added three regular soldiers to this side. Legion.
But having said that, according to the opinion of Sakala, the commander of the top army in the south, save it, the three regular soldiers combined are not enough to fight the Paduo Army of this generation. I estimate that my own army, with that It takes three legions of regular soldiers to hold the other side down.
Sakala nodded first, "Segedi is right. The main force of the Han army is here, so Lidas will go to the city. Not to mention that we have notified you, even if we have not notified you, with the mentality of the people in the north, , and I’ll definitely leave Lidas alone.”
Sakala didn't say a word. Even if Lidas entered Brahmas, it would be useless. Lidas's army couldn't defeat the Padu Armored Corps. It was a reorganized army of sword and shield soldiers. The so-called Paduo here means full body armor with only the hands exposed!
To be honest, Sakala always believed that the Paduo Armored Corps was the most defensive regiment in history. However, after fighting against the Shield Guards, Sakala now can only lament that he was sitting in a well and watching the sky. There is no doubt that compared with defense alone, The Shield Guards are much stronger than the Paduo Armored Corps.
Thinking about the fact that the shield guard can still run on the water and predict, Sakala really doesn't know how to deal with it. If Sakala had some confidence in dealing with the shield guard before, when the shield guard rushes up the Ganges River and kills him. The moment he killed a bunch of soldiers under his command, his last bit of self-confidence was destroyed. As far as his battles were concerned, the Shield Guards had no shortcomings.
"Well, that's true." Durga nodded. The conflict between the north and the south of Guishan is very serious. As long as Lidas can't come up with a reasonable plan to advance troops, if the north has a chance to be blocked, he will definitely not mind it. Last few months.
"The general is probably worried that the Han army will rush directly there later, right? After all, if they leave now, we may not be able to catch up." Szegedi said calmly, as if he had read people's hearts.
"Indeed." Durga nodded. Although there are many troops stationed in Brahmas City, they are much weaker than the size of the Han army. Even if they defend the city, there will be great danger. , once they are defeated, they will be passive.
"What can we gain if we follow the opponent's pace?" Szegedi sighed and said, "Stop the loss, right?"
"That's true." Durga replied, and then naturally thought about Szegedi's words, her brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Don't let others lead you by the nose at any time. The other party wants to feint a shot, then force the troops to attack Fahrenheit City, or even go further west. Then what we have to do is to make it impossible for the other party to do it. Fahrenheit City is a foregone conclusion, and the opponent The goal must be to take advantage of as much as possible, so if we think about it the other way around, how can we prevent the other party from taking advantage?" Szegedi said with squinted eyes. Even if Guo Jia's strategy is known, people will not dare to gamble.
"The other party wants to force us to return to Brahmas City and garrison there..." Durga said slowly, "And the reason why we have to go back is also very simple. We can't afford to gamble, and the reason we can't afford to gamble is that the opponent will Let’s rush there directly. If we fail to get there first, Brahmas City will be captured, and all of us combined won’t be able to fill the gap..."
Durga spoke slowly, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, and then she looked up at Szegedi, "You mean, we did it directly here? This would bring us back to the original point. We are now the biggest The only problem is morale and strength. If you have enough strength, the other side will not dare to do this. But without strength, you cannot hold the other side down."
"How long do you think the Han army's food can last?" Szegedi did not answer directly, but changed the topic and asked.
"They may have brought only one or two months' worth of food, but the reserves in Samajuzha City are enough for them to eat until the next crop of food is grown, plus the food in Zhanbo City, there is no problem with their food. "Durga and others looked at Szegedi in confusion and said.
"That's wrong. They only have food in Samadha City. When Pasa came to inform us of the situation, I ordered him to notify the people in Zhanbo City to burn the food in the granary. Lidas could rely on it. He obtained the food under his command by collecting grain from the land, but with the size of the Han army, it was impossible to obtain it," Szegedi said with a sneer.
"Then other cities..." Durga and others were stunned when they heard this, and then their faces sank.
"Including Huashi City, I have notified all the cities that cannot stop the Han army and have a large amount of food. To the east of Huashi City, except for the city of Jalana Suvarna where we are currently stationed, As well as the city of Sama and Zha belonging to the Han army, there is no way to supply other cities." Szegedi said with a unique coffin face.
"So the Han army only has one chance to send troops. Although there is a lot of food in Samajuzha City, if it is to be transferred to Brahgas City for fighting, the Han army only has one chance." Szegedi said coldly, "Han If the army as a whole has no problems, then we will create problems!"
When Durga and others heard this, they felt as if they were struck by lightning. They all looked at Segedi with admiration. These people were not fools. They were used to the situation in southern Kushan, which made them forget about the food and grass problem, but this time It does not mean that food and grass are not important. On the contrary, food and grass are very important.
After burning all the food and grass, the Han army had no way to replenish it. If they could only transport food from the rear, the situation in Samadhizha City would not last long. In this way, they would have to attack Brahmas under heavy logistical pressure. Cheng, this pressure is no joke.
What Szegedi said was that the Han army only had one chance. He was not joking. After fighting once, it would be okay to retreat to Samajja. Otherwise, if they were still fighting near Huashi City, the food supply of Samajja would not be able to sustain it. One harvest.
