Whether it succeeds or not is not important to Guan Yu. Anyway, if he can't kill Khosroi now, he will leave a trace and maybe he can use it some time.

Khosroi glanced at Guan Yu, said nothing, and quickly retreated with the Dawn Legion under the alternating cover of the rear archers. As for Ayotta City, it was already in chaos at this time. The fire that had been burning before, with time As time goes on, it becomes more intense.

It's just that at this time, Khosroi no longer had the foundation to lead his men to seize Ayodha, so he decisively led his troops to retreat and save the lost territory, so there was still the possibility of regaining it.

After Khosroi left, Guan Yu ordered people to block the city gate and began to organize manpower to put out the fire. Fazheng also came to Ayotta City after the Battle of Ayotta, under the protection of Pei Yuanshao and Qu Gong?

"Ah? Did General Guan lead his troops to put out the fire?" Fazheng looked a little strange as he listened to the guard's explanation, "Forget it, I'll go find General Guan."

When Fazheng led people there, a fire break belt had been built in Ayotta City, and several locations where the fires were relatively small had been forcibly extinguished by legion attacks. Khosroi cut off the cloud protection, which was indeed solved to a great extent. The fire caused by the explosion of the military formation spread.

"The French military advisor is really calculating in three steps." Xu Shu said sourly when he saw Fazheng coming over. The other party's judgment allowed them to easily win Ayoto. Xu Shu had to be convinced. However, Xu Shu was a generous person and also I just said something sour and adjusted.

"There is some luck here." Fazheng said casually, and then looked at Guan Yu who was standing outside the isolation zone of the fire scene, "General Guan, actually we don't need to put out the fire."

"It's not about putting out fires, it's about saving people." Guan Yu said calmly.

Fazheng was silent for a while after hearing this and said nothing.

Fazheng had no idea about Ayodha. The purpose of conquering this city was to destroy it, because this city was one of the fulcrums of Kushan's defense line relying on the Ganges River, but it actually made no sense to fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty. big.

It is impossible for the Han Dynasty to send the main force here to defend it. Ayodha is quite far from Brahmas, hundreds of kilometers away. It is quite fast to take the water route, but the water route has to face the Kushan navy. If it is the land route, the Han Dynasty The troops invested in the Ganges area and the overall people's strength, whether Jia Xu, Fazheng, Zhong Yao, Xu Shu, Dong Zhao, etc. actually tend to gather together.

If they are too scattered, it will be easy for the Kushans to seize the opportunity and conquer them one by one. It is better to use Brahmas as the fulcrum and let all the Kushans' plans be executed around this once important eastern border town of the Kushans. This way, it takes less energy to prepare.

After all, the distance of three to four hundred kilometers meant that if something unexpected happened, even if the Han army wanted to rescue them, only Baima Yicong would be able to arrive.

Therefore, even if a new military region is to be allocated, it cannot be done at this time. The most stable way of fighting is to fight on the front line from Brahasi to Balayaga.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Fazheng's position for capturing Ayotta is to capture and then destroy it. In this way, Kushan directly loses a defensive fulcrum on the east bank of the Sarayu River, and the Han Dynasty can be reduced as a whole. A certain amount of pressure.

When allocating manpower for defense, you must at least check whether the position is suitable. Sticking to the position of Ayotta is unrealistic for the current situation of the Han army. It feels like being alone. Although the Han Dynasty has many defenders A famous general, but in Fazheng's opinion, there is no need to do so, and all problems will be solved by directly destroying him.

If you have the ability, Guishang will try to build another city on the same site.

"Sure enough, Xiaozhi, your purpose is to relocate the population of Ayotta and then destroy the city of Ayotta?" After Guan Yu dealt with the internal turmoil in Ayotta, he brought back all the generals and commanders to deal with it. The matter of Ayotha was discussed, and before speaking, Fazheng openly stated his goal to destroy Ayotha.

"Yes, Ayotta can be used as a defensive fulcrum for Kushan. For us, it is actually a lonely place. It is not that it cannot be defended at all. But if it is arranged like this, we may be cut off from the defense zone. possible." Fazheng sighed and pointed at the map.

The person who looks down on Kushan the most is actually Chen Xi. This is the consensus of all top civil servants. Although other advisers who have fought with Kushan complain about Kushan's internal management and organizational problems, they all admit Kushan's perverted foundation. Transportation capacity and grain supply, as well as resources of sufficient scale.

There is no shortage of iron ore in this place, and even because of the special iron ore, ordinary smelting techniques can be used to produce some of the top steel weapons before the industrial revolution, and the amount is not small.

There is no shortage of coal mines, gold and silver, fertile land, and various spices for treating diseases and antiseptics. On paper, it is enough to call it terrifying.

Even if they know that this country has such problems, Fazheng and others still treat it with caution. After all, this is a big country, and the biggest difference between a big country and a small country is that the former can afford to lose, while a small country cannot afford to lose because of its small size.

"It's just Khusroi, if the opponent is coming, I will kill him directly!" Zhang Fei's loud voice shook the roof beams.

"Yide." Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei, who quickly restrained himself.

"That's what I said, but the way we entered the city, it is destined that even if we repair it, the gap will still have flaws for a long time. Besides, there must be many Kushans in Ayotta City as of now. Spy." Fazheng shook his head and said.

"Based on the current situation, our separation is actually to give Kushan a chance. It's not that we can't beat Kushan, but if the other party insists on fighting us, we can't stand it." Xu Shu also explained from the side. .

"In the battle between Cao Sikong and Oswin, if Kapil hadn't been killed in the end and the imperial scepter was abolished, I'm afraid Cao Sikong would have had to return home to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Fa Zheng said with a bit of sadness, "One versus one. The losses on the left and right are actually a disastrous defeat for us. In fact, let alone one to one, two to one is equivalent to a huge defeat for us."

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun both understood the logic here, and they both nodded when they heard this. Indeed, Kushan is closer to the mainland, and its hematopoietic ability is there. If they can use an army of 400,000 to kill the 200,000 regular army of the Han Dynasty in the Ganges River area, , Vesudeva I will never be polite.

Because after killing 200,000 regular troops, the Han family in the Ganges area would never be able to withstand the crushing force of the Kushans. Even if they lost 400,000 regular soldiers, the main force of the Kushans would suffer heavy losses, but the Kushans could still bear it. from.

What's more, without the 200,000 regular troops and retaking the Ganges River Basin, if the Han army wants to fight back, to be honest, it will really have to be an expedition. The logistics and supply problems alone are enough to be fatal. After all, the Han army was able to fight back last time. Solving logistical problems really has a lot to do with luck.

As long as Kuishang is a little normal, the logistics of the Han army, just sending it from Jingnan to Indochina is enough to make Chen Xi explode.

"So it doesn't make much sense for us to be stationed here. Every time we gather in one place to parry or attack, there will be a large number of friendly troops to cover it. And no matter what kind of behavior Kushan does, we will concentrate our collective strength to analyze and ensure the maximum possible The display of strength." Fazheng looked at Xu Shu and said.

If a sub-military region with Zhang Fei as the core is to be established, then Xu Shu must be the military advisor of the new military region. As for Fa Zheng himself, he has clearly seen that Jia Xu has always been the one who knows the truth, and he mainly relies on Fa Zheng to do his job. It is used to ensure the overall situation, plus the system operation of the Ganges region.

"So I suggest that we rest in Ayodha for a while and take advantage of the rainy season when the big ship arranged by Zhou Gongjin can sail here to transport the people back to the rear of Brahmas. Then we can break up the household registration and reorganize it, so that the people inside Even if there are spies, they are not afraid of causing trouble." Fa Zheng said calmly.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary large ships can also sail into the Ganges River, but the problem is that under normal circumstances, the Han army's navy is really not as capable as the Kushan navy, especially when the warships of both sides are similar in size, the Han army has only a very small number of ships. A few elite naval forces were able to defeat the Kushan navy of the same scale.

This is why the Han army rarely used waterways. They even directly cut off the Ganges waterway with a cross bridge on the Brahmas side, and built hundreds of heavy permanent forts on the cross bridge. It seems that our navy cannot defeat you, but Don't even think about sending naval troops through here to harass Brahmas' rear.

Therefore, taking the water route is theoretically a more desperate choice. It is easy to be caught by the Kushan Navy and then exploded with water war hammers.

But that refers to the normal situation. The abnormal situation is now. When the rainy season comes and the water rises, the castrated version of the seventh-generation ship is sailed into the Ganges. Even the Kushan Navy has great ability. There is no way for seventh-generation ships.

To put it bluntly, it is bullying that the Kushan shipbuilding industry has not yet recovered. In addition, after the previous beating, the big ships suffered heavy losses. Even if there is still a large-scale elite navy, there is nothing that can be done without the big ships. The shipbuilding equipment imported from Rome It would take several months to build a large-scale fleet, which happened to be a window period.

If it weren't for the fact that Kushan's shipyard was not close to the seaport, but was located in an inland port, and a large number of permanent heavy forts were built in coastal ports, Zhou Yu would have wanted to reconcile with Guan Yu and provide vehicles himself while Guan Yu would provide troops. The two sides joined forces to land along the Indus River, and then attacked Qunu City from east to west, and took down the entire Kushan and so on in one go.

After all, Guan Yu is arrogant, but Zhou Yu can still manipulate Guan Yu. As long as the plan is reasonable and executable, Zhou Yu invites Guan Yu to work together. The two of them work together on the plan. As long as the risks of the plan are not too high to bear, Chang'an will be safe. Probability will not be dismissed.
