After Guo Zhao contacted Lu Xun, he quickly received a reply from Lu Xun. After all, the situation had reached this point. Lu Xun, who thought he could see through the overall situation, felt that he should not continue to waste time on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, but should quickly find a way to save the country. Cao Cao.
Although Lu Xun's sense of Cao Cao is really average, these important defense points in Kandahar must not be defeated by Kushan again, and the situation is already very dangerous in Lu Xun's eyes, so he needs to go south as soon as possible.
Therefore, the secret message sent by Xinying to Guo Zhao made Guo Zhao very hesitant. Lu Xun meant that he would take most of the troops away, and Guo Zhao would take action on his behalf and Bakza's place.
This sounds very mysterious, but with Lu Xun's talent, he can still do it by concealing the truth. The problem is that Lu Xun made the situation clear, which means that he needs to take away all the main forces. In this way, the east coast of the Caspian Sea is really Mainly relying on Guo Zhao to fight.
The problem is that Bakza is not a vegetarian. This guy has participated in the decisive battle between Rome and Parthia, and his subordinates have all come out of such tragic battlefields. This is also the reason why they can maintain the level of the Praetorian Guards.
Therefore, if Guo Zhao takes over this job, he needs to think about whether he can withstand the fierce attack of Bakza who discovers that Lu Xun has left.
As for other people coming to help, save it. Wanpeng can't even catch up with Congling, the nearest one. Xiliang Iron Cavalry is only suitable for frontal slashing, not suitable for pursuit and assistance. The former can only watch the opponent run away silently. , the latter basically rushed over and only had to collect the corpses.
Being too slow is not a joke, it is an undeniable fact.
"Young Master, what are you worried about?" Haftan saw Guo Zhao frowning in place after reading the secret letter, and quickly ran over to comfort him.
After Aldashir's attack, Guo Zhao kicked Sima Lang and ran over from Xinzhou that day. Haftan was so happy. As expected, for Shaojun, no handsome boy can compare to Ba Ye. It's up to me, Haftan, to perform well.
Therefore, when following Guo Zhao out of Xinzhou, Haftan was prepared to perform well in front of Guo Zhao this time.
So when he saw Guo Zhao frowning and thinking deeply, he hurried over and said that if there was a problem, I would solve it.
"Do you know Bakza?" Guo Zhao looked at Haftan and asked casually.
"Uh, that guy..." Haftan still knew it. After all, the other party came from the final battlefield between Rome and Parthia. He also brought Aldashir's message to regain him, but Haftan didn't know much about Aldashir. Hill was not interested and refused.
Of course, when they came from Xinzhou, Haftan knew that their goal this time was to divide their troops to Bakza on the east coast of the Caspian Sea. Therefore, this guy also knew about the Guo Zhao issue. This question did not mean whether he was familiar with Bakza, but wanted to I know if Bakza is easy to deal with.
It’s difficult to deal with. Bakza and Haftan were both great generals during the founding period of Ardashir. Apart from Aldashir, who was the most powerful general in Ardashir’s army, his undead king’s cavalry and undead army were also comparable to those of the Saints. Death Rider, Tavasdes is the number one wise man under Aldashir, and the other guys are actually just half-matched.
To put it simply, even if there is a gap between Haftan, Bakza, and Turansha, the gap is actually not too obvious. Among the rest of the kings, only Ahemene who got together with the Wang family is really very strong.
In fact, if Ardashir hadn't single-handedly brought out the Holy Death Riders, the Undead Army should have been the Imperial Guards of the classical empire in Persia. Theoretically speaking, after the Holy Death Riders took over the title of Imperial Guards, they would definitely suppress it. Undead army.
No matter from the perspective of glory or legality, when Ardashir used the Holy Death Rider as the imperial guard of Sasanian Persia, the undead army of the imperial guard in the Persian classical dynasty was either renamed or abolished.
But in fact, the undead army of Achaemeni still existed when Ardashir was finished. This means that this army must at least face the pressure of the Holy Death Riders, and it can defeat Rome in Ardashir and defeat Kushan. In this era, one must at least be qualified to face the Holy Death Rider directly.
This is very scary, and it is also the reason why Ahemene is unique among this group of people.
Of course, the history of the world has long been distorted by Rome and the Han Dynasty, and the rise of Sasanian Persia has not occurred at all, but those natural famous generals were still born in the wilderness of their homeland.
There are also exchanges with each other. These people either have character flaws, such as Nihavin, or have mental problems, such as Haftan, or have a certain mental state of Wuhan, but these people are At the same time, it was already very strong.
Even if Ma Chao goes up and defeats Tulansha, if we really compare qualifications, Tulansha may be better than Ma Chao militarily, but if qualifications can represent everything, we can't just compare qualifications and it will be over. Ma Chao's fate It's not something ordinary people can match.
Therefore, facing Ma Chao, who was almost close to the ultimate body, Tulan Sha was disgusted to death. It was not that he couldn't beat them, but that Ma Chao didn't fight them at all and just used his own advantages.
"It seems that your level is between equals." After all, Guo Zhao had studied with Ji Xiang for a long time, so she could still understand Haftan's obvious expression.
This is not a good thing for Guo Zhao, but it is not a bad thing. At least Haftan has a fight with the guy opposite. As a result, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides is actually mainly the gap between the legions under his command. There are also some Ways to make up for it.
"Yes, I have met Bakza before. That guy was slightly better than me before. Now that Shaojun is by my side, I will not be weaker than him." Haftan said respectfully.
"Then there is still time to fight this battle." Guo Zhao folded the secret letter, and then asked someone to reply to Lu Xun, taking over Lu Xun's job of facing Bakza, and it was up to Lu Xun to cross the sea and go to Herat. Guo Zhao decided After taking it, I was so brave that I was so brave, but I was so hungry that I was so timid.
I had done nothing back then, so there was nothing to be afraid of this time.
Lu Xun looked at the words in Guo Zhao's reply. The murderous intent between the lines made Lu Xun sigh secretly. No wonder his teacher wanted to release all these people. They would be a disaster if they stayed in the Central Plains. But after they were released, these people They are all aided by the Central Plains.
That day, Guo Zhao appeared as a reinforcement in the eastern part of the Caspian Sea. Bakza naturally contracted the defense area, and the Han army naturally began to adjust its camps. Everything seemed normal.
But in fact, a scout war broke out that day, and then Lu Xun led the main force to attack Herat. In Lu Xun's view, the situation there was seriously out of control. If he was far away, there would be no way to get over. That's all, he can only explain the situation in letters, but now that he can go there in person, the best thing is to kill him directly.
After Lu Xun left, Guo Zhao maintained the front line in the eastern part of the Caspian Sea and pretended to be ready for war, forcing Bakza on the opposite side to converge the front line and put all his strength on guard. In fact, even with some of the soldiers left by Lu Xun at this time, Guo Zhao faced Bakza on the opposite side. Zha is actually at a disadvantage.
However, Guo Zhao perfectly understood Bakza's mentality and acted as if he was ready to move after the reinforcements arrived, so Bakza could only shrink the defense line and put the entire line on alert.
Of course, this situation cannot last long. In ten days at most, Bakza's advisers will guess everything and try to test it. By that time, even if Guo Zhao has repelled Bakza's temptation, it will be useless. How long will it take for the opponent to send out their main force?
However, after these things went around in Guo Zhao's mind, they were thrown out of his mind. He still had about ten days to continue working on the earthworks of the camp. If he couldn't defeat the opponent head-on, couldn't he defeat him in other ways? His brain But a good thing.
Haftan worked hard to dig tunnels in the camp. He always carried out Guo Zhao's orders without hesitation. She was the goddess in his heart.
In the Lezistan Desert, Ma Chao shuttled as fast as possible with grain, grass and water. In less than two days, Ma Chao met Hua Xiong who looked confused in the desert.
Obviously, at this speed, if Hua Xiong wants to go there, it will still take five days to reach Herat. Speaking of which, by this time, Hua Xiong is carrying much less food and grass.
"General Hua, long time no see." Ma Chao cupped his fists and saluted Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong looked at Ma Chao and wondered why he saw Ma Chao here.
Ma Chao told Hua Xiong all the information he knew. Hua Xiong was lost in thought. Should he turn around? Because he carried too much water and food, it took him almost a month to reach this position. If he returned, he would be able to move a little faster. It’s faster, but it’s estimated to take twenty days.
"Should I go back now?" Hua Xiong asked with a hint of gloom.
To be honest, Hua Xiong originally came for Ardashir's Holy Death Rider. Others are afraid of this thing. Hua Xiong actually has nothing to be afraid of. Everyone has reached this level and is basically the same. What is there to be afraid of? Yes, you will know who is stronger after fighting.
But what is this thing now? Aldashir took the Holy Death Rider to Kandahar. Hua Xiong felt like he was holding a mouthful of blood in his chest and couldn't spit it out. If he had known that he would have waited for the Holy Death Rider in Kandahar, it would have been easier. Such a difficult desert march.
"Even if I rush back, it's too late. I should arrive in Kandahar in about five days." Ma Chao said with a smile. He was not targeting Hua Xiong, but felt that the Xiliang Cavalry was really a trap. When necessary, It's impossible to do it due to speed constraints.
"..." Hua Xiong didn't want to speak. He looked Ma Chao up and down. He thought that he might as well take Ma Chao and his Seventh Eagle Banner Corps as mounts. After all, the horses ridden by the soldiers of the Seventh Eagle Banner looked very strong. , there seems to be no problem riding two people.
Ma Chao shuddered faintly, vaguely feeling that something bad was about to happen.
