Under normal circumstances, Xun Yu doesn't like to be a gambling dog, but Cao Cao is too wild, so Xun Yu sometimes has to consider some unexpected factors.
Although logically speaking, when Kandahar was in turmoil and Kushan's morale was high, the most normal approach should be for Kushan to directly invest all his combat power to suppress the Han Dynasty, and take advantage of the chaos to see if he can conquer Kandahar in one go.
But Xun Yu took a closer look at the current positioning of the Kushan legion and felt that Ardashir would not choose to fight the Han Dynasty with all his strength.
It would definitely happen if it were replaced by Oswin. Oswin is simple-minded, dares to fight hard, and is not afraid of losses. The war with the Han Dynasty, Oswin realized early on that it was a war of attrition, not a decisive battle, so he seized the opportunity. Oswin will definitely use his full strength to strangle the effective forces with explosive combat effectiveness.
Although it can't be called too much, the core shield guards are too large, and the main elites of Guishang are not heavy cavalry, so they do not have the foundation to defeat the shield guards. If other legions want to crush the situation, even if there is unrest behind the Han Dynasty, they will not be able to defeat the shield guards. Not very realistic.
Who made the headquarters led by Oswin, Falgun, Balas, Abhitan, Kapil, Salman and others to be watched by the Han Dynasty one by one. All they can really use are those who were pulled out by the imperial scepter. The upgraded dual talent headquarters.
There is no problem that these soldiers are better than the current backbone of Cao's army in combat effectiveness. After all, in terms of strength, the basic combat ability of dual talents is there. That is not a joke. The problem is that with more than 40,000 pairs of talents, Can it crush Cao Jun's heavy armored front?
Of course not. If you use two talents to play a fully equipped shield guard, unless it is a targeted attack such as concussive strike, penetrating strike, or heavy weapon strike that can produce good results, it is still grinding.
Therefore, from a tactical point of view, when the Han army's rear was in turmoil, Kuishang would counterattack across the board. Moreover, this counterattack could not truly win the final victory. At most, it would further enhance Guishang's advantage.
But here is the problem now. The strength of the Han army is not the upper limit. The upper limit is actually the same.
Therefore, according to Xun Yu's guess, when the fire broke out in Kandahar, if it was Aldashir commanding, there is a high probability that Aldashir would directly abandon the legion he controlled and try to bypass Lao Cao's command system. Of course, this is very dangerous. move.
After Aldashir cleared Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong's own terrifying survivability ensured that he could crush him without any hindrance. The Imperial Scepter would definitely become the primary target.
At that time, it will not be the top Kushan legions to contain the Han army, but the main force of the Han army to contain the Kushan top legions. This will actually be beheading each other. According to Xun Yu's views on Cao Cao and Chen Gong, Understand that the probability of successful beheading of Ardashir is low.
The possibility of breaking into the formation and breaking the command chain is very high, but it is too difficult to behead him. But Hua Xiong is different. Once Hua Xiong is left empty, he has the basis for a single legion to complete the strategy. Without Falgon, When five or six guys blocked him, Hua Xiong rushed over and was able to lift the imperial scepter and hammer him to death. This is no joke.
This was a decision of the nature of betting on dogs, but Xun Yu estimated that Aldashir would choose it because Aldashir's hand had too few cards and he needed to use his small to make a big gain.
Just like Xun Yu after the Battle of Xuzhou, Xun Yu, who followed the right path, was forced to use cunning strategies and try every means to restore his combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Because there were too few cards, he had to take risks. Only in this way could he use more tricks to restore his combat effectiveness. Get big rewards with little loss.
This is the tragedy of a kingdom facing an empire, having to win every time.
What, you said that Alexander faced Persia, and the Kingdom faced the Empire. There is nothing sad about it. As long as it can win every time, the Empire will lose even its underpants within a few times. The truth is this. The problem is that There are several kinds of gods.
Therefore, Xun Yu estimated that when there was turmoil or even a fire in Kandahar, Aldashir would definitely give it a go and let go of Hua Xiong. At most, he would drag Hua Xiong to the rear, and then use all his strength to seize Cao Cao's command system.
However, Xun Yu didn't want Cao Cao to be destroyed in his command system. Although Xun Yu was very confident that Cao Cao would not die, forget it, using Cao Cao as bait, no one would do it except Chen Gong. Chen Gong He is simply a troublemaker.
So be realistic, I will open the city gate to give you the ultimate strategic goal. I know that your goal is not to fight to the death with Cao Cao, but to capture Kandahar City. Now when you are around, the Kandahar City Gate suddenly opens. Are you going to attack Kandahar City Gate, or are you going to attack Cao Cao?
Xun Yu was more than 80% sure that Ardashir would directly attack the gates of Kandahar.
Although Kandahar is not an urn city, after entering Kandahar, Aldashir's Holy Death Riders will most likely not be able to defeat the third-generation sharp warriors. Both sides have the attack ability to kill the enemy instantly, and the city gate hole into the city is so big, and the sharp warriors are in In the formation behind them, it is impossible for the Holy Death Cavalry to rush in.
This is not to look down on the Holy Death Cavalry, but because the terrain is too rough and the city gate is less than ten meters wide. Even if five or six cavalry rush in parallel, they will still be within the best attack range for the sharp warriors, not to mention all the soldiers. Annihilation, at least enough to cover the city gate with the blood of the Holy Death Rider.
The high attack speed and high defense brought by the miracle special effects, facing the sharp attack speed and paper-like defense, in this kind of terrain, both sides basically only have time to fight with one move, unless the Holy Death Cavalry can face the high frequency wave. Shock Sword, otherwise high defense is nonsense.
This was also the reason why Cheng Yu threw the mace aside after hearing this. Xun Yu's approach meant that even if Ardashir personally led his troops to rush in, it would be meaningless.
"Hahaha! The city is on fire, the whole army is attacking!" Aldashir commanded the Holy Death Cavalry and kept teasing the Divine Iron Cavalry. To be honest, if the battle cannot be fought on all fronts, there is nothing good for the Holy Death Cavalry to take down Huaxiong's headquarters. method, so the two sides could only disgust each other, until at a certain point, black smoke began to appear in the city of Kandahar a few kilometers away, and the fighter plane finally arrived.
Oswin and others were also overjoyed when they saw this scene. The manpower deployed by our Kushan finally provided the most correct support at the most correct time. The next step was to capture Kandahar.
The cry of killing was very loud from the city of Kandahar. This was an incident caused by Kushan spies to put pressure on the garrison and people in Kandahar to achieve their goals. In fact, there was no chaos in Kandahar at this time.
"Here we come, Brother Zhang. The traitor's men have started setting fires everywhere. Do we want to take action?" The forty-year-old veteran greeted the old captain beside him.
"Wait a little longer, wait until they get close, and go through the wall." There was a group of twenty or thirty people on the opposite side. The old captain had been in the Ruishi circle for more than twenty years, and he knew very well how thin-skinned and big-hearted this army was. Unexpectedly, it can kill the top warriors. If it weren't for the high efficiency of killing people and breaking through, I would definitely not choose the warrior class.
Soon these people approached the courtyard where Rui Shi was. When they were about to pour kerosene and burn the courtyard to cause trouble, a long sword was thrust out from the wall. Then, a large sword light swept through the wall. Five or six A sharp warrior came out and cut the grass in close combat, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Let's go, quickly attack and strangle." The old captain shook his sword, and with a sound of sword, the blood stains on the sword flew away directly, and then led his men to rush along the long street towards the end of the street at an unimaginable speed. passed.
At the same time, the battle lines between the Kushans and the Han Dynasty changed as Xun Yu had previously estimated. The Kushans took advantage of the turmoil in Kandahar to launch a full-scale counterattack. The elites who had not been on the battlefield before also entered the battlefield. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos and defeat the Han army.
Of course, Cao Ren and others, who Cao Cao had been keeping still, also took advantage of this moment to join the battlefield. They wanted to defeat me, Cao Cao, at this time, but they thought too much!
Both sides released a large amount of combat power in a short period of time, and the Han army's front line was directly squeezed. Guishang relied on his temporary courage and the slight decline in morale of the Han army to even further suppress the Han army. However, just like What Xun Yu thought was that the shield front line was there. If this was not destroyed, the foundation of the Han army would not be shaken.
Even if there is temporary turmoil on other fronts, the worst possible thing is to retract the fronts and hide behind the shield guards to regroup. Can you still crush them completely?
Therefore, faced with this situation, Ardashir only hesitated for a short while and decisively mobilized Abhitan to retreat. Of course, when Abhitan retreated, Cao Hong also pursued him without hesitation. Who would withdraw at this time? No one, whether it is the Han army or the Kushan army, has this idea, and no one can leave.
However, Abhitan leads the royal spear and shield soldiers after all. Even if Abhitan has encountered some problems due to the recent changes in the sky and cannot use abilities such as the blessing of gods and Buddhas, the hard power is there, and he can still withdraw if he wants. , at most it was Cao Hong who held on tightly, and when he retreated, he even pulled Cao Hong over.
Seeing this scene, Aldashir no longer hesitated and personally led some of the Rangers and the Holy Death Riders to join together and decided to carry out the beheading plan.
However, when Aldashir led his troops forward, Ma Chao appeared on the outside of the battlefield with a wild smile, "Ardashir, come on, let's give it a try!"
"Chao Mamikonyan, do you want to intervene in Han Gui's war?" Ardashir cursed angrily when he saw Ma Chao. He knew very well what the consequences of the presence of a guard at this time would be. It was simply Strategic collapse!
"Hiss!" Ma Chao untied his armor and threw it aside. "I'm not going to intervene in the Han-Gui war. I'm just here to fight with you. If Guishuang thinks there's something wrong with me, you can just shoot arrows at me. The armor is already gone." Go ahead and apologize naked, but you and I have to fight!”
