Chapter 3306 New Plan
Barak was obviously dissatisfied when he heard this. Even though he had always respected Gumala, he still habitually spoke and refuted, "I admit that the Han Dynasty is very strong, but Gumala, do you underestimate us if you say this?"
"You just think I'm trying to make you more alert." Gumara said with a smile. This moment was like the words before were really trying to make others more alert.
Barak scratched his head when he heard this and looked at Gumara carefully. He didn't see the difference between Gumara, so he really thought Gumara was just to make them more alert.
Sahel shook his head silently. It was not that he was smarter than Barak, but that Barak, as the commander of the Khyber Pass, was a general carefully selected by Kushan. He had great confidence in his country and it was difficult to agree that the Han Dynasty was much stronger than his own.
"The Han Dynasty is still very strong." Sahel said in silence for a while, "It's a pity that the other party is destined to be an enemy, and it's really a bit uncomfortable."
"It doesn't matter. As long as we guard Kandahar and deal with it carefully, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty to take down what is there. The terrain there is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Barak said with a smile, "Even if the Han Dynasty is strong, it must be able to play out."
Gumara nodded slightly, as if he was echoing Balak's words. In fact, Gumara was thinking about what to do next. As a staff officer who has worked with Balak for so many years, he knew very well that Balak was just not willing to believe this fact and still maintained his recognition of the powerful force of the Kushan Empire. But can this recognition be maintained?
Gumara can guarantee that after the Han Empire really chooses to break it with force, no matter how good Barak's mind is, it will be meaningless and will definitely be shaken.
[If I were from the Han Dynasty, I would definitely choose to break it with force. I would not be able to avoid the long logistics line by using strategies, and the terrain that Kandahan is too uncomfortable for the attackers, so once I seize the opportunity...] Gumara has already made detailed speculations.
As for the losses of doing this, Gumala actually knew it. If he did not do this and repeatedly attacked, Kushan would quickly raise the losses of the Han Dynasty to exceed the current level in the process of tug-of-war, and seize the opportunity to force the decisive battle. Even if one foot had to step into the ambush circle, as long as he was prepared and could defeat Kushan, the losses might not be greater than the tug-of-war.
"In fact, I don't quite agree with attacking Herat." Gumara said, touching her chin.
"Uh, but when we discussed with Kapil before, you agreed to the current plan." Barack said in confusion. Now the plan has begun to be implemented. Is it a bit too much if you deny it?
"How do you say Kapil's plan? It's too simple to think about the Han Dynasty. I guess there will be no result when we attack Herat." Gumara shook her head and said, "The Han Dynasty will not make arrangements in Herat."
"But it should be too late for you to say this now." Barack said with a frown.
"Since we have already gone here, how about we go around?" Gumara said with a smile, "At most, Herat doesn't do anything. Let's go to other things. I thought that this move might have a miraculous effect. The Han Dynasty is strong, but that guy Kapil did bypass the Han Dynasty's observation perspective. We have already entered the blind spot of the Han Dynasty."
"Isn't this a good thing? If we attack the Han Dynasty, we might be able to win a great victory." Sahel looked at Gumara in confusion and said.
"It's indeed a good thing, but if you want to sneak attack Herat, I think it's better to forget it. It's a city, not a field battle. In fact, even if it's a field battle, Barak, do you think we can win in field battles with the Han army?" Gumara said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Barak groaned unhappily, but did not deny this fact. Although Barak couldn't hear what Gumara said, the Han Dynasty was more powerful than the other, Barak also admitted a fact that the Han Dynasty's legion was indeed stronger than their legion.
"We can try to go around." Gumala said with a smile, "Although it may not be possible to achieve great results, in this case, let alone the Han Dynasty, we are all in a state of losing contact. Even if there is a traitor, it is absolutely impossible to inform the Han Dynasty."
Gumara, Masinde, and Seissellian actually knew that Kushan should have been traitors in the Han Dynasty, and the traitors were definitely not low, with more than one or two. However, among the three, except Seissellian, who took the initiative to investigate, the other two were a little perfunctory.
However, no matter whether it is perfunctory or not, Gumala still carefully keeps this in mind. It is fine if it is ordinary. When he really wants to work, he will accept Kapil's arrangement first. When the traitor can no longer understand him, he will just work.
"Uh?" Sahel was stunned when he heard this, and Barak was a little gloomy. It was difficult for Gumara to persuade Barak to make temporary change plans, but since this guy wanted to work, he naturally made preparations early, just like Barak, who was absolutely impossible to agree to the change plan now, nodded silently after listening to Gumara's remarks.
Barak is one of the very few people who have almost guessed that there is a traitor in the Beigui royal family, and even suspected that Xun Qi was a traitor. At the last time at Khyber Pass, Barak was about to go on stage to reveal the matter himself, but it was finally left alone.
But this does not mean that Barack gave up on this matter. On the contrary, even though Barack still remembers it in his heart, he secretly asks people to verify and compare it. However, Xun Qi's records can be said to be seamless, even more complete than many people in the Beigui royal family.
Faced with this situation, even if Barak had some other thoughts, he could only suppress it. But Barak agreed with the statement that there was a traitor here. Therefore, when he heard Gumara's outspoken statement, Barak, who had already made the decision to be determined by the other party, couldn't help but stop and start thinking about Gumara's words.
"The plan made in Kandahar may not have fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty. What do you think of Balak?" Gumara said with a chuckling. He didn't like to argue with Balak, but he could always find a way to shake Balak, just like now.
"Yes." Sahel did not understand what was going on, but Barak nodded in embarrassment. After this consideration, Barak had to admit that Gumara was right and that his plan was probably known by the Han Dynasty.
"Since that's the case, the Han Dynasty knows our plan and will definitely counter it." Gumara said with a smile, "Why do we have to follow this plan? I have a new plan now. Do you want to try it?"
"Tell me." Barak said with his eyes narrowed. Although he felt that it was not good to do this, Gumara was right. The Han Dynasty might have known their plans and established a new plan based on it. In this way, why can't they counterattack?
"Although the plan may be exposed, I have to admit that Kapil's move south along the Suleiman Mountains and Kiltar Mountains, and then detours to the Garn Mountains-Sahad Plateau are very good. This road is out of everyone's sight." Gumara said with a smile.
In fact, he didn't know whether the plan was exposed. Gumara just made the most correct judgment based on the Han Dynasty's power, that is, if the Han Dynasty really wanted to take action, use Kapil's strategy as the support point to counterattack, and turn the ambush into a decisive battle, and forcibly breaking it with force is the right way.
As for other methods, it is difficult to defeat part of Kandahar as a frontier position. Without part of the large oasis of Kandahar, the Han Dynasty will inevitably be bound by the long logistics line, and how much combat power can be exerted is a problem.
Therefore, Gumala's thinking has become very simple, that is, we are definitely not in the sight of the Han Dynasty. Their current route is actually a blind spot. This blind spot is not very meaningful to attack Herat, but will be exposed. It is better to change the way to stab the Han Dynasty back and attack the main force of Kandahar. Maybe it will really have miraculous effects.
"We will attack the main force of the Han Dynasty, and how will we follow the direction of the Han Dynasty attack?" Gumara said with a smile, while Sahel and Barak were both shocked.
"It is indeed a good way to walk this path, but walking this path cannot solve the problems we encountered when we attack Herat. If the Han army there had three or five legions, even if we took the initiative, it would be useless." Gumara analyzed with a gentle expression, "On the contrary, if we go back to the Han Dynasty to attack the main force of Kandahar, regardless of whether we win or not, we will definitely be able to disrupt the arrangements."
"It's not very realistic. There are war eagles that observe and patrol in the Han Dynasty." Barack shook his head and said, "What's more, whether we can catch up when we walk back from the old path."
Barak's words successfully dispelled Sahel's desire to try.
"The war eagles that are observing and patrolling are just beasts. Those things do not have the ability to perfectly distinguish between enemies and me. They only rely on arms and flags. I have all brought these things in materials and supplies." Gumara obviously has been planning for a long time. "As for retreating from the old road? Haha, why don't we take the road that the Han Dynasty opened up from the Lezistan Desert? Pretend that we are also Han troops."
Both Balac and Sahel were a little shocked. However, after carefully thinking about Gumara's plan, he inexplicably felt that the other party's plan was very good.
