After the Han Dynasty Fortress sent the situation analysis to Oswin, Chen Gong and others fell into silence, because this was the first time they encountered this kind of situation. The other party was too stupid to understand the situation at all, causing the Han Dynasty to We have to find a way to point it out and force the other party to make concessions.
This terrible situation really makes Chen Gong and the others unable to stand down - why are humans so stupid as to commit suicide?
However, the next development far exceeded the expectations of Chen Gong and others. Oswin ignored the situation analysis sent by Chen Gong and others. The other party was still blasting the mountain wall. This crazy behavior made Chen Gong and others fell into silence.
"Now we need to think about whether the Beigui generals downstream are determined to die with us, or are they simply unaware of the problem?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong, Xun You and others with very ugly expressions.
Because of the presence of Salman, a barrier lake also appeared upstream. Although Cao Cao was prepared, if he made a mistake, Cao Cao's losses would definitely be heavy. But the biggest losses on Cao Cao's side would be heavy, while Oswin's downstream would be It can no longer be described as tragic.
But Oswin's number in the lower reaches is actually not as large as Cao Cao's in the fortress. If they were flooded at the same time, the loss between Oswin and Cao Cao would not be too big. In fact, Cao Cao's loss would be even greater, but Oswin's His subordinates are more elite, but the overall situation is worse, and there is a high probability that the whole army will be annihilated. Therefore, Oswin understands that it is possible to continue doing this.
The other party wants to compete with Cao Cao in cruelty to see who can't bear it enough. That is also possible. In addition, Cao Cao is actually not sure whether Guishang has any special secret skills that can survive such a flood. The mediator protects life.
I just thought that the Han Dynasty actually had some special military formations that were effective, but this kind of effectiveness could not guarantee the safety of all soldiers. Therefore, under the current choice, whether Oswin was ruthless or bluffing, he still didn't care. Anything can go wrong.
But no matter what the situation is, Cao Cao is very passive, because Cao Cao can flood the enemy, but he must not affect his own people in the process. If he cannot avoid being affected, he cannot cause too much loss. .
This is Cao Cao's historical burden. It is also about releasing floods. If Liu Bei releases floods and submerges his own side, it can be said that it will be affected, but if Cao Cao is the case, he will really be labeled.
Cao Cao is not stupid. He actually knows very well that the current slow progress on his side is largely due to historical baggage, that is, a series of issues such as the massacre of Xuzhou.
This is why the Yuan family was able to deceive and abduct a large number of people to lay a solid foundation. In addition to Cao Cao's first-mover advantage, after migrating a group of people in the early Yongliang period, there were few records of migration, because there were not many people willing to follow Cao Cao.
After the development plan was launched, there were so many people moving out of the country, and the people were not fools. Even if they had to choose, they would choose those forces that were stable, well-known, and powerful. Cao Cao was actually not attractive to the people because of his dark history. Not as good as some top aristocratic families.
This is actually the reason for Cao Cao's slow development in the Beigui region. Population is the core strength of a country, and Cao Cao lacks this core.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a matter of historical baggage. Fortunately, Cao Cao has also been working hard to change his image in the past few years. When dealing with these matters, he has also been much more cautious, trying to get away with it as much as possible, and at least let the people realize that The mistakes of that year can no longer be made again.
But after spending so much effort to achieve this step, Cao Cao realized the existence of the flood and risked the flood to fight Oswin. In the end, Oswin was defeated and Cao Cao returned from the victory with a broken army. Several years of hard work have basically been in vain.
For Cao Cao, this is a heavy historical burden, just like Zhuge Liang rarely provided support to Cao Cao when he was in Congling. It was basically business, and everyone is not a fool, right?
Therefore, when Chen Gong and others were thinking about what happened to Oswin, Cao Cao actually understood that even if he lost some other things, he could not let the flood affect his headquarters, otherwise the so-called tragic victory would be a joke.
Cao Cao did not show this on his face, but Xun You reacted quickly. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, if you open the city gate now and start to discharge the flood from a single hole, how powerful will it be?" ?”
"Ah?" Chen Gong looked at Xun You in confusion. The flood has not yet filled up. Even if the water is released, it will flood the inside of his fortress first, and then save up to open the city gate at the back. It is somewhat powerful, but if he wants to attack It is unrealistic for Oswin and others in the rear to cause great losses.
However, Chen Gong was not an idiot. When Xun You asked this, he was also thinking about the meaning behind handling the matter like this. Soon Chen Gong understood why he did this. Looking at Cao Cao's solemn expression, he could still understand.
"If you want to do it, then open the front city gate from now on." Chen Gong reacted and understood that what he was considering now was not war, but political considerations. Cao Cao's historical burden was too heavy It is large and can bear the victory and defeat on the battlefield, but the dark history of flooding one's own side must not fall on Cao Cao.
"Let me ask, such a flood will not have a big impact on Kushan. Unless the barrier lake on the Salman side also collapses, it will be full as we estimated before. So this time the flood is more Shocking, but what if Oswin is determined to do this?" Mao Jie looked at Chen Gong and said very seriously.
This is not impossible. If the other party is really determined and fights with the Han Dynasty at the risk of heavy losses or even annihilation of the entire army, the Han Dynasty's current flood release will not only not cause psychological pressure on Oswin, but will also make the other party even more miserable. Fight firmly.
"Then blow up Salman's barrier lake." Xun You said quietly.
If the two silted floods were drained out together, the Han Dynasty and Kushan would be very miserable, but if they were drained out twice without full accumulation in both places, it would not be very dangerous.
"Then fight on the fortress?" Mao Jie asked with a frown.
"No, the flood is used as an ordinary blow." Chen Gong shook his head. He already understood what Xun You meant, and the corners of Mao Jie's mouth twitched twice. He also understood, but when it came to that step, the two sides No one will be better off.
After all, if the rainfall in the upper reaches does not stop, flash floods will continue to accumulate in the upper reaches. The Han Army's fortress-like dam that can be used repeatedly will continue to accumulate floods, and after the barrier lake in the upper reaches is exploded, the use of floods The situation as estimated by Xun Yu in the early stage was restored, so that the Han army once again had control.
Even though the use of flood has lost its suddenness at this time, just like Xun You said, I use flood as a normal attack. I use it every few days and I will see how you deal with it.
After finalizing this, the Han Dynasty opened the front city wall, and floods began to enter the fortress. Within a short time, the floods filled the fortress. At this time, there was still a huge reservoir in front of the fortress, and when the back door was completely After being covered by floods, the Han army opened the back door and the single-hole flood discharge began.
Compared with the kind of flood that Oswin used at that time, the Han Dynasty had professional research. The moment the city gate was opened, the flood was released with majestic momentum like a gush, hundreds of meters away. The patrolling Kushan soldiers naturally saw this scene.
However, this group of people did not panic, because for most people from Beigui, this was the first time they had seen a flood in their lives. As for whether it was powerful or not, they had no people at all. Water was not something to be afraid of, but it could still be Can you kill me?
Oswin was also watching. To be honest, he didn’t have any special feelings. Even though the huge water pressure caused by the flow of the flood caused the speed of the flood peak to be quite astonishing, in Oswin’s view it was only the speed of a charging horse. What’s so good about it? Afraid.
However, in order to show that he was not talking nonsense, Oswin led his people at the front. When the flood rushed over, he launched a super large legion attack.
The flood peak was pushed back directly. Oswin chuckled and said, "Did you see it? Don't panic. I'm telling you, the flood in the Helmand River is useless."
However, the repelled flood peaks were covered with a higher image under the impact of subsequent floods. After all, this is not Eastern Europe. It only takes a few seconds to hold on, and the floods will change due to the environment of -40 to 50 degrees below zero. It formed an ice wall, but Beigui did not, so Oswin and his men were directly covered by the flood peak.
The legion attack can indeed block the flood. The problem is that the flood is flowing, and after it accumulates, it will gain momentum and stretch endlessly. The legion attack can only last for a short time. Faced with this situation, when the legion attack stops, a A bigger flood peak hit us.
Oswin and his men were swept away by the flood. Ardashir, who was watching how Oswin dealt with the flood, was stunned. Didn't you say that the flood was easy to deal with? Didn’t you say that you have personally used floods? You also said that facts speak louder than words, why are you gone!
The Kushan army was in chaos. Although this was just a small flood that had not been saved in place, it completely woke up the Beigui landlubbers. Especially Oswin was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole body wilted. , squatting on the high platform of the mountain wall, looking at the receding flood, and fell into deep thought. How is this different from what I remember before?
My previous floods were not as powerful as this, and what did Kapil say? This was just a probing strike by the Han army. In fact, the front of the fortress was not fully charged? So it turns out that the Han Dynasty was not a threat? There's also Salman's barrier lake above that could burst its banks at any time?
