The Han army's retreat was not fast, but it was very stable, because this retreat plan was made by Chen Gong early in the morning. The entire retreat method was completely different from the normal retreat method. This retreat method is the so-called Axis Gate in a nutshell. move.
If they had followed the normal retreat method, the Han army would have left some soldiers behind, but if it was Chen Gong's retreat method, all the shield guards who appeared at the end were very durable shield guards.
As for the elite Kushan regiments such as the Imperial Scepter led by Kapil and others, they were also moved to their own rear formation by the Han army during this process to avoid being squeezed.
From this aspect, the so-called Plan 11 was indeed successful in avoiding continued pincer attack after the Kushan elite accidentally penetrated the shield guard front, and the entire army retreated.
In the later stage, Kapil actually found out that he had been plotted. Before, he only estimated that he had penetrated the Han army's shield guard front, and the main force rushed in from the north. He never thought that the Han army would move laterally and use the north side shield guard as the main force. Sideline, pivoting.
He directly threw Beigui's main force together with Aldashir, Oswin and others, and then put his entire army line back together.
This operation shocked Kapil. He had never thought that he could change the formation like this. In essence, this was actually a very simple formation change. However, after giving up the north side and rotating along the central axis, it turned out that He directly moved the vulnerable central army back. If he fought again, the front would be full of shield guards, and the remaining two thousand Tiger Guards would also be turned back.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the main force of Cao's forward force, Lu Bu, who was used as a deterrent, was also freed up and moved to the left sideline. It can be said that in a short period of time, the Han army almost hid all its shortcomings. Behind the strongest line of defense.
"Withdraw, Sikong." Seeing that Cao Cao still wanted to fight, Xun You sighed and pulled Cao Cao's shoulder. There is no need to continue. You can't win if you fight again. A miserable victory is worse than losing. You will know the fortress and wait for the result. , how much grass can the elites of Beigui have to eat?
Cao Cao took a deep breath and did not let his anger go to his head. The losses of the Han army were very heavy. The initial estimate of the overall losses even exceeded 14,000. After fighting for such a long time, this was Cao Cao's biggest loss. More importantly, the gains were far less than the opponent's.
"Retreat." Cao Cao took a deep breath and gave the order to retreat to the fortress.
"Chasing?" Falgon held up his arm and looked at Oswin and Ardashir in confusion. They had completely united their forces. The three of them were the ones who suffered the most losses. The others were stuck. Under Peel's command, although they could not win, they did not suffer heavy losses.
"The shield guards are too difficult to deal with." Kapil sighed and said. Overall, his command was actually very good, but the shield guards' defensive power was too outrageous, which led to many unexpected incidents. Fortunately, All solved one by one.
"Leave the shield guards to me." Ardashir said calmly, "I also have a large number of Burning Gentlemen under my command, which are just right for dealing with the shield guards."
During the period of Anxi's destruction of the country, Anxi developed a lot of things, and the Burning Talent was also successfully completed and downgraded without deletion at that time, allowing the real soldiers to directly control it. It can be said that if Vorogis V rushed out, it would be a miracle. , Military Soul, Three Talents, Burning Talent Inheritance, and the four nobles who are united, Xi'an has a lot to do.
It's a pity that Rome directly killed him just before the revival.
"When will your regular soldiers arrive?" Kapil nodded, "Speaking of which, thank you very much. If you hadn't arrived on time, we would have been in trouble."
"If we go quickly, it will probably take another month." Ardashir thought for a while and said. He had walked through the Lezistan Desert once, so he knew very well that it would be very troublesome for the army to pass through there. At his speed, it would be very troublesome. It will take six or seven days, and the army will probably need to be tripled.
"By the way, how much food and grass do you still have?" Oswin asked quickly. He abandoned all the horses and came empty-handed. There was a ghost of food and grass.
"The food and grass can probably last for less than ten days." Kapil thought for a while and said.
"Are we going to besiege Kandahar now?" Oswin felt much relieved when he heard that there were still ten days of food and grass. Ten days was enough for them to go to Kandahar, and there was food and grass prepared for Ardashir and his men at the Bolun Pass. , there will be no problem if you use it first.
"The original plan was to completely defeat Cao Cao here, then seize the fortress, and send out all the auxiliary troops to attack Kandahar, but now." Kapil's mind is still very clear under normal circumstances. Although they have won now, the strategy There are obvious deviations.
"We can directly go west and besiege Kandahar and force Cao Cao out of the fortress." Aldashir said calmly. He had discovered the deviation in strategy, but the plan could not keep up with the change. Aldashir was used to this kind of thing. What's more, the situation this time is already very good. Beigui's strength is already very strong in the eyes of Aldashir.
"We are really not good at this. Cao Cao still has a lot of shield guards in Kandahar." Falgon said with a dark face while letting Nan Gui, the medical god accompanying the army, visualize and treat his broken arm, and that place It’s really not easy to fight. “It’s better to wait here and try to get in touch with Salman and the others to see if there is any other way.”
Aldashir clearly looked disappointed. His purpose of coming here was to capture Kandahar, because strategically speaking, the only place where Aldashir could hold and easily survive was Kandahar, and that was also The benefit that Beigui is most likely to give.
Under normal circumstances, Kapil had a good mind and an online IQ. He could see Ardashir's thoughts at a glance and directly sent a message to Oswin.
"Oswin, let me ask you something. What did you promise Ardashir to promise?" Kapil asked directly.
"Ah, I didn't make a promise. I just took advantage of the unexpected changes and Bankim gave me the notice, so I didn't make a promise." Oswin said in a daze, and Kapil's expression changed slightly. At this time, he must Make a big enough promise or trouble is just around the corner.
"Ahem, could you please let me say something." Bankim came with Ardashir, but he never showed up before. Now he has won the battle. This guy quickly stood up. He knew the current situation very well. How to distribute the situation.
"I've seen the scribe." Oswin saw Benjim and bowed slightly to salute, and everyone else followed suit. Ardashir felt much relieved when he saw this. Although there were a series of reasons for being persuaded, Ben With Kim in such a position, it would be easier to fulfill his promise.
Bankim directly pulled Oswin, Ardashir, and Kapil into the sound transmission.
"Your Majesty Vesudeva is planning to move the main force of the Northern Gui to the Southern Gui to fight against the Han Dynasty, and also needs to reconstruct the Kshatriya system. The north can be left to Ardashir to defend it, just like before." Bankim said directly. After Vesutiva I's plan was revealed, Ardashir was shocked and looked at Bankim with a look of disbelief on his face.
Even if Tavasdes had told Aldashir before that Vesutiva I most likely wanted to reorganize the country, this emperor was capable of doing anything in a hurry, and all high-level operations were completed at critical moments. Yes, so the other party is very likely to give Aldashir the status of a species and directly give him a piece of territory to hold on to while he is cultivating and recuperating.
But even Tavasdes estimated that it was only an area of Kandahar. Unexpectedly, after Bankim identified it, it turned out to be all the areas once controlled by Beigui. I am afraid that except for the Khyber Pass, Vesutiva I All gave up.
"Your Majesty wants to give up this place?" Oswin was stunned.
"A hundred years of long-cherished wishes have disappeared, so what's the point of being trapped here? The large fertile land in the south, from the Indus River to the middle reaches of the Ganges, has been owned by Kushan for hundreds of years. It has been developed for hundreds of years. It has always been the essence of Kushan." Bankim said with a sigh.
After the Princess Party left and the Brahmins collapsed, the Dayuezhi people actually lost the meaning of continuing to hone themselves in the Beigui Mountains.
For the princess's original intention and to fight against the corruption of the Brahmans, this is the reason why the main body of the Yuezhi has not entered the Indus-Ganges plain in the south.
Now that the millions of people of the Dayue clan have left for the princess, and the Brahmin has also died from Sima Zhang's backstabbing, the Dayue clan really has no reason to continue.
It can be said that if the war with the Han Dynasty had not been breaking out in the north, Vesudeva I would have moved the Dayue clan people from the mountainous areas of Hindu Kush and Suleiman into the Nangui area on a large scale. This was the last step. The best way to strengthen your organization.
It can even be regarded as some kind of reward that should have been given to the people of the Dayue clan long ago.
It is a pity that the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty prevented Vesutiva I from executing this plan for a short time. This is why this guy has been hooking up with Central Asian bandits and Ardashir. This guy is the best in the history of the world. Known as a good diplomat.
The intention of Vesutiva I was very clear since she spread grain and grass to Central Asia the year before last. The Great Yueshi were preparing to retreat from the imperial cemetery and welcome the Central Asian people into the Khorasan and Khwarezm regions. The Han Dynasty was so dragging, Of course I don’t want to give it to the Han Dynasty.
The official history of Vesutipa I was able to form an alliance with Armenia after Sassanid Persia defeated Rome, and gave nearly free blood transfusions to Armenia by sea. Forcibly supporting Persia to create a grand principality, relying on the Armenian mountains and entangled with Sassanid Persia for more than ten years, allowing the other party to Unable to advance eastward.
So now Vesudeva I dared to support Ardashir to establish a country in the cemetery of the empire, making it impossible for the Han Dynasty to pass.
