To put it simply, the current situation is that Lu Xun has the combat power to defeat Bakza, or even defeat Bakza. However, after defeating Bakza, Lu Xun rushed to Kandahar on the same day. By the time he got there, the day lilies were cold, so he still decided to march. time.
After all, on the world map, it is only a small distance, but in fact it takes 800 kilometers to go straight from the east of the Caspian Sea to Herat. From Herat to Kandahar, due to terrain reasons, it takes more than 500 kilometers to walk through the Lezistan Desert. kilometers, it takes 800 kilometers to walk through the outer Gobi.
Lu Xun's headquarters was not Guan Hai, so he could just endure it. Such a long distance would take Lu Xun at least a month to march, which could be considered a high-speed march.
After all, walking in the desert consumes a lot of water resources. Hua Xiong was dragged to death because he needed to bring a lot of clean water. If he brought more clean water, the speed would be slower, so that he was very desperate.
According to Lu Xun's estimation, Guan Hai should be one of the very few perverted legions that could pass through the Lezistan Desert within five or six days. Other legions, even if they were particularly fast, would probably take about ten days.
After all, you need to carry clean water. This alone, whether you are cavalry or infantry, will seriously slow down your marching speed. What's worse is that the slower you go, the more clean water you need, and the more serious the drag is. It is simply a vicious circle. .
Guan Hai's words, according to the description given to Lu Xun, this guy and his subordinates can run for several days at night with a bag of water. This is almost equivalent to giving up logistics and using unimaginable means. Speed is marching.
Therefore, at a distance of 500 kilometers, Guan Hai should really be able to kill it in five or six days. This is very frustrating. At least Lu Xun feels that there should be no second army among the human legions that can kill him at such a high speed. The legions passed through the desert.
No matter what the Miracle Legion is, as long as you have to bring food, grass and water, you are destined to not be so fast. What is the advantage of mobility and flexibility? This is it.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Xun's current situation is very embarrassing. He can kill his opponent and see through Aldashir's plan, but he is too late to save people. Guan Hai, who can reach the fastest, can't solve the problem even if he passes by. Guan Hai's combat effectiveness is really not too strong, but he can maintain it at its peak during combat, which can be regarded as the top of dual talents.
However, most of the soldiers under Guan Hai did not have smelting talents and did not reach the level of the Imperial Guard. Even if they rushed over, they would not change much. After all, the scale of the battlefield and the strength invested by both sides were seriously exceeded.
Due to such a series of reasons, Lu Xun thought that all he could do now was to let Guan Hai go. The rest seemed useless.
No matter how he defeated Bakza, there was no way he could make it to Kandahar this month.
In Lu Xun's estimation, if he can reach Kandahar within this month, it may still be of some significance. If he cannot reach Kandahar within this month, it will be useless if he goes there. Either Cao Cao will find a way to relieve the siege on his own, or Cao Cao will Schizophrenic after being stabbed by Oswin and Ardashir.
"Report, general, the Anping Guo clan has sent a signal, saying that they have arrived a hundred miles away from the opponent. Do you need assistance?" While Lu Xun was thinking, Mei Cheng came to inform Lu Xun with a secret report. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
At the same time, an eagle cry came from the sky. This was Sima Lang's Xinzhou faith eagle that Guo Zhaoshun left. Their faith eagle could not accurately land at Lu Xun's camp. Only this kind of official faith eagle could land accurately. To the territory of official forces such as Cao Cao, Lu Xun, and Wan Peng.
"Anping Guo family?" Lu Xun raised his eyebrows. He and Guo Zhao had met before. After the Guo master was destroyed, Guo Zhao passed by. Lu Xun even helped and persuaded Guo Zhao. They were more or less familiar. Later, when the other party went back, he also met him.
The two parties were neither too familiar nor too unfamiliar. Lu Xun somehow knew that this girl who was half a year younger than him was actually quite powerful, and the Haftan under his command was indeed quite good.
Therefore, after hearing that the Anping Guo family came to help, Lu Xun had some other ideas.
Soon the intelligence office of the rear camp transferred the secret documents carried by the Anping Guo Family Letter Eagle to Lu Xun. It was a very general Yin Yao Yang Yao secret document. Lu Xun quickly interpreted it. Guo Zhao did not say too many unnecessary words in it. I just said a few words about their family’s current strength.
To be precise, the strength of the Guo family in Anping is not too strong, but they still have the backbone of the imperial guards and the mixed-talented cavalry, which is indeed beyond Lu Xun's expectations. The strong oath talent really surprised Lu Xun, or Haval It’s a surprise that this person is indeed somewhat loyal to Guo Zhao!
"This news..." Lu Xun's expression showed no emotion or anger. He was thinking and evaluating the situation. Because the Anping Guo family was just strong enough to intervene in this battle, Lu Xun needed to evaluate how to maximize the benefits.
After all, the situation on Cao Cao's side, if Lu Xun guessed correctly, might be really bad.
The imperial scepter of Oswenga and the elite of Beigui are actually about the same as Cao Cao's backbone in Kandahar. Whoever relies on the terrain will have the advantage. But with the added variable of Aldashir, Lu Xun knows very well that once Cao Cao is stabbed in the back, , then it is not impossible to die suddenly on the spot.
After all, in the current environment, where a Miracle Legion is only used for offensive purposes, it is no joke that it is equivalent to the combined strength of three or four Imperial Guards. Therefore, if Cao Cao left Kandahar to fight in the Helmand River Valley, before and after Under the pincer attack, Cao Cao's survival was considered a matter of skill.
To be honest, when he discovered that Aldashir was not in Herat, Lu Xun was surprised by Aldashir's choice and quickly deduce Cao Cao's overall situation.
Even Lu Xun quickly judged that Cao Cao had been tricked out of Kandahar by Oswin. In Cao Cao's eyes, their most fatal weakness was Kandahar itself. As long as no one could capture Kandahar, then even if he lost, it would have no impact.
But this is based on the premise that Oswin cannot defeat Cao Cao at the Helmand River. In fact, everyone understands from the standpoint that the battle between Oswin and Cao Cao for the Helmand River Valley will not be possible without external force. , it can only be a tug of war.
Cao Cao's side is the main battle legion with three talents, a large number of backbone guards, many fierce generals and civil servants, occupying the terrain of Kandahar.
Oswin's side is an auxiliary military soul with three talents and a large number of backbone guards. There is a slight problem with civil servants, but it is said that he visualized the god Jialan and was finally forced to kill himself, killing Szegedi who visualized and followed his own path. About to be dispatched, plus the terrain of Kabul.
This is really a tough start to crack, so both Oswin and Cao Cao actually believe that the other side cannot defeat them in the Helmand River Valley.
After all, both sides have a big plate and a very solid foundation. Even if they lose thousands of people in a battle, both sides can sustain it and can sustain it for a long time. Therefore, neither Cao Cao nor Oswin thought that they were really at risk. It's the army itself.
Therefore, when he thought that Ardashir might pass through Kandahar and stab Cao Cao in the back, Lu Xun's scalp went numb. Can Cao Cao withstand it? Can be a hammer.
After having such a conjecture, Lu Xun thought backwards and understood that Kandahar might not have been the target from the beginning to the end. The so-called Kushan Zoubo Lun Pass attracted Kandahar's attention, incited insider intelligence personnel, and caused unrest in Kandahar, just like attacking Kandahar. behavior and so on.
These strategies, which used almost all the resources of Kushan in Kandahar, were all feints from the beginning. Even Lu Xun was shocked by such boldness. There must be a general designer behind this strategy, and this person is definitely top-notch. wise man.
Oswin rubbed his nose. The situation was a bit bad now. He originally thought that he would be able to detour through the mountain paths of the Hindu Kush Mountains for more than ten miles in seven or eight days and appear behind the Han army's fortress. , but now that seven days have passed, Oswin suspects that he is lost. What's worse is that they only have three days of food left.
What kind of top wise man, what kind of chief designer of planning and design, these are all thought of by Oswin himself. If there really is such a designer, how could Xun Qi, who has been sowing discord recently, not know about it.
Confucius once said, "Only the wise and the foolish will not change." In the same way, only smart people can do things, and fools can't understand the things they see. Oswin's move this time, although there are some There are many fallacies, but I have to admit one thing, that is, Xun Yu, Chen Gong and a series of other wise men were confused.
Because what they had been thinking about before was playing against the normal top wise men, it was impossible for the other party to make such a mistake, but in fact, the entire plan was executed by Oswin with a slap on the head.
Using the same idea of dealing with the wise man to deal with Oswin, both sides actually have a huge deviation now. Oswin never thought that his fortress could not be captured, nor did he expect that the time needed for his detour was actually not seven or eight days. The deviation that has led to the current situation has gone so far that no one can understand it, and everyone's guesses have gone wrong.
For example, the Kushan insiders in Kandahar are now frantically seeking death. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are focusing almost all their attention on cleaning up internal hidden dangers. The hidden dangers that were not solved last time must be solved this time. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu The purpose of staying is to let this matter be dealt with.
When settling this matter, Chen Qun naturally sent scouts to investigate the Bolun Pass, and sure enough, one of the two Kushan regiments previously stationed at the Bolun Pass took the initiative to attack. Everything was as Cao Cao and others expected.
Xun Yu also immediately sent a message to Cao Cao that Guishan had begun to attack Kandahar, allowing Cao Cao to prepare for a quick victory and withdrawal. After receiving the news, Cao Cao was overjoyed, because at this time, Guishan's trump card came out. , and he was almost biting the imperial scepter.
In fact, at this time, it was not just a matter of biting the imperial scepter, but Cao Cao chasing the imperial scepter and moving closer to the Han army's fortress.
After all, both Xun You and Chen Gong speculated that Oswin would choose to take a detour, and Cabbage made it clear that it would only take seven or eight days to pass through the Hindu Kush Mountains.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Cao Cao decided to force the imperial scepter to the Han army's fortress, so that he could not only concentrate his military advantage, but also lure Oswin to come out from the mountain path and kill Oswin in one breath.
After all, according to Cabbage and others, there are only a few mountain roads here, and they are not easy to walk. As long as the imperial scepter is deliberately forced to a certain position, Oswin will not be able to escape from the mountain path. Easy, so Cao Cao decided to do it all.
As for what he messed up, Cao Cao didn't panic at all, because Xun You had already taken Zhang Xiu and used his spiritual talent to withdraw from the main battle zone. If Oswin didn't come out from the path Cao Cao estimated, Zhang Xiu and Xun You were hanging behind. You can add another blow, a flanking attack and then a flanking attack.
Think about it, there is a fortress in front and Cao Cao's army behind. This is simply better. Cao Cao's military advantage can also be successfully used. Therefore, Cao Cao is very excited at the moment. He even feels that he has captured the goddess of victory. skirt corners.
Therefore, the reply to Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others was very simple. Hold Kandahar and don't worry about anything else. He will soon have a decisive battle with Oswin's main force. The opponent only has six legions, one military soul, and one possibility. There are only three thousand people in Oswin's headquarters.
The total number is less than 45,000, but Cao Cao has 80,000, including Tunqi, Tiger Guards, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and three generations of warriors, plus Xu Huang, Pang De, The headquarters of Zhang Xiu, Le Jin, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yan Xing, Kabage and others, plus 30,000 shield guards.
This time, Cao Cao was really planning to come over and annihilate all the main forces in the Kabul Valley.
When fighting Oswin before, in addition to the 50,000 to 60,000 pairs of talents and the backbone of the Imperial Guard, Oswin also had a large number of elite soldiers. But now that there are no such soldiers and auxiliaries, Cao Cao said that it was very stable. Once caught, this time it was really about blocking him from all sides and beating him to death.
Think about it, there is Cao Cao's army in front, the Helmand upper reaches fortress behind, the Hindu Kush Mountains on the left, the Hindu Kush Mountains on the left and right, and the entire valley between mountains. Once the battle is won, you will want to run away. No one had to run, so Cao Cao was ready to celebrate his victory.
It can be said that this is really a rare opportunity. After this time, if you want to win in the future, think about Oswin who defended the Kabul Valley last time, and you will know how difficult it is to win.
Therefore, after Cao Cao determined that the situation was similar to what they had estimated, he asked Xun Yu and others to defend Kandahar, regardless of what was happening outside, and just wait for him to return with a great victory.
However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's imagination. Ardashir passed through Kandahar, and the legions sent from the Bolun Pass covered up this trace, allowing Ardashir to successfully move up the Helmand Valley. He grabbed Cao Cao's waist and left.
Because of this ingenious encounter, Ardashir, who was inevitably exposed due to food and other issues in Kandahar, unexpectedly did not find any traces of the other party, so he successfully fought to the upper reaches of the Helmand River and obtained the The clearest recent information.
It was precisely because of the recent intelligence that Aldashir saw what a great opportunity this was. It was even better news than what Tavasdes told him at the time. All the main backbone of Oswin was dispatched, just like a bait. Cao Cao was lured to the upper reaches of the Helmand River, but the war had not yet begun. When he rushed over, Cao Cao and Kushan had just started fighting for a day or two at most.
For a Miracle Legion, the strength of his legion alone is enough to reverse this situation, and everything is even better than Tavasdes estimated.
Rush, rush up desperately, Oswin of Kushan created such a good opportunity, and even prevented him from being exposed in Kandahar, what else is there to say, you must rush, victory and freedom are right in front of you, kill Go up, if nothing else, Oswin is indeed a trustworthy person!
With this idea in mind, Aldashir, who had taken supplies of food and grass, rushed upstream from Kandahar toward the upper reaches of the Helmand River. Just like how Yadi easily penetrated Kandahar and captured Afghanistan after breaking through Kandahar. Maybe they didn't have the same strength, but their momentum was very close at this moment, and they were both equally high-spirited.
Of course, at this moment, Cao Cao didn't know that Aldashir had already come to kill him, and Aldashir didn't know that Xun You had made preparations in advance for Oswin to take a long way around and steal their retreat.
Similarly, Ardashir didn't know that Oswin was lost on the mountain road that originally took seven days to escape because the guide also took the wrong path. It would take two or three days to escape from another location.
But it didn't matter. Falgon managed to escape from the Han Dynasty's eyes and ran to a mountain path at night, and someone still carried out the backstab.
The problem is that Chen Gong is suspicious of all Cao Cao's plans. Especially when Cao Cao becomes more and more crazy, Chen Gong always feels full of the aura of wanting to finish, so he silently asks Cheng Lian and Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang to do a good job. Prepared for front line resistance and cloud-solidified military formations.
In short, this group of people are all looking at the situation. Although there are still some things that I don't understand, I should be prepared for something to happen first, and don't worry about what happens. After all, war is nothing more than combat effectiveness? Even if you are surrounded or attacked by others, and cannot be defeated by force, you can assume that there is no problem.
With this idea in mind, Chen Gong, a hamster gangster, and Xun You, a low-key dull guy, took a lot of precautions. After all, neither of them felt at ease about Cao Cao.
To be precise, the reason why Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are placed at the rear and these two at the front is because these two people sometimes think about problems with some malicious intent toward Cao Cao.
Because of this malicious intent, the situation has now become so confusing that no one can understand it. Once a chaotic battle begins, it will not be a one-and-two-layer attack and siege, but several layers repeatedly, and even more will be added at any time. Thickened surround.
Even now, people such as Lu Xun, Ma Chao and others want to further deepen this siege, so the situation has developed in a direction completely out of control.
The scary thing is that even if the situation is completely out of control, both Cao Cao and Ardashir feel that destiny is mine!
