Chapter 3895: A detour
At the same time, Kapil looked at the rising Helmand River and made the same judgment as Xun You and others. Osven had already carried out the final stage of the siege, and the victory or defeat was right now.
"Urdu, Osven's dam has broken the dam and flooded the fortress upstream. I guess the war between us and the Han army should begin." Kapil immediately informed the commander-in-chief of the journey, Urdu, that he existed more as a staff officer here.
"Tsk, that guy Osven is really a little courageous. I thought I was storing water to deal with the group of people chasing behind us." Urdu said with a smile.
"What we need to consider now is to slow down and wait for the arrival of the Han army, or continue to walk up the Helmand River valley." Kapil looked at Urdu and asked.
"No, what I'm thinking about is actually another thing." Urdu looked at Kapil and asked with a little curiosity. Because the plan went smoothly, Urdu is now curious who made this plan. Is it Kapil?
"What's the matter?" Kapil looked at Urdu in confusion.
"I'm curious about who made the plan this time." Urdu said casually, "By the way, find a way to contact Osven on the upstream side to see when he will meet with us. We can also make plans early."
Just as Urdu was thinking about how to contact Osven upstream, Osven looked at the valley in front of the Han Army fortress that was still flooded by the flood and fell into deep thought. It seemed that it could not be fought at all. I seemed to have killed myself.
Looking at the higher-level where the flood had disappeared, the dark brown mud made Osven realize that even if the flood receded, he could not conquer the city. This was the rhythm of completion.
"Salman, you lead your troops to Kabul. I'll go to the mountain path to pick up Kapil and the others." Although Osven had already understood his mistake at this time, as a commander and a commander who dared to take responsibility, he would correct it when he realized the mistake.
"Ha?" Salman looked at Osven with a hellish look. Are you walking on the mountain path now? I'm afraid it's not the rhythm that you're going to finish.
"This is the only way. We can't trap Kapil and the others in the hands of the Han army, otherwise Kabul would not be able to defend it." Osven said with a calm expression, "So, I have to go over, I will take the Sun Knights over, and if I can win, everything will be fine."
Osven didn't say anything later, because at this level, once he couldn't win, to be honest, the main force of Kushan in the Beigui area was basically defeated. At that time, whether Beigui could defend it is a question, so Osven had to save people.
"Are you sure it can be too late?" Salman looked at Osven with a serious expression. This was not a joke, but it was really possible that it could not be too late.
Beigui people know more or less about the mountain paths here, but this kind of mountain path is very difficult to walk. Although it is difficult to walk on the Helmand River, it is more difficult to walk. After walking for more than ten miles, you can finish your marching in one day.
You can walk the mountain path and bypass the fortress, appearing from the front of the fortress to the back of the fortress for more than ten miles. The distance to detour may take seven or eight days.
This is why, normally, the Han army and the Kushan Mountains did not walk much on the mountain paths in the Xingdu Kush Mountains. Because it was too pitiful, once the scale of troops exceeded a certain level, your logistics transfer capacity would basically be killed. After all, not everyone is Zhuge Liang.
What's more, even Zhuge Liang took more roads from Hanzhong to Qishan, because the paths were too crappy.
Think about the Western Han Dynasty Expressway or even the Western Han Dynasty High-speed Railway in later generations. The latter only takes less than two hours from Zhengyi District to Hanzhong. The Han Dynasty was within the scope of Shanglinyuan in the Han Dynasty. This shows how much straight-line distance is.
However, in ancient times, it took Zhuge Liang's talent to walk on the mountain road, which took several months to see how pitiful the mountain road is.
"Yes, in short, I'll inform Urdu and others to retreat to the fortress as much as possible, so that I can run less, and maybe I can run out in seven or eight days." Osven said with a serious expression, and had to admit that this man was really indomitable and firm in his mind. Even though he had already wavered in the face of the flood before, he quickly adjusted.
After all, if you think about it carefully, what is the situation like this that floods hinder their own plans? How many tricks have Osven experienced? For example, when he was in the south, he met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and a series of monsters.
However, even so, Osven still did not waver and had nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, after encountering the flood, he failed to work and instead cheated himself, Osven just made a trance for a while and quickly adjusted. This person had experienced too much and was almost impossible to be defeated by reality.
"Do you need me to go with me? The legion under my command should be easier to pass the mountain path than the Sun Knight under your command." Salman thought for a while and spoke.
"You can't solve the problem in the past." Osven shook his head and said, "You go back to the Kabul Valley first and prepare for defense. If we go there together, the logistics of food and grass will be a big problem."
"Yes, but I don't plan to go back to Kabul. I plan to continue here, pretending that we are still waiting and watching and preparing to attack the city, to attract some attention." Salman said with a smile. Relatively speaking, his brain is more useful than Osven.
Of course, there is another meaning of this saying, it is meaningless that I retreat to the Kabul River Valley. If I go back, you will fail. No matter how hard I defend, it will fail. Why not I am here to restrain the attention of the Han army in the fortress and make it easier for you.
Maybe this is really only one percent, but at this time, Salman attaches great importance to it even if there is a slight possibility.
"Yes." Osven said with a smile, very free and easy, "I'll go fight the Cao army to the death. I'll solve the things I've done by myself. Fortunately, I have three talents under my command. After the changes in nature, I should have some spare time to do something for Kapil and the others."
The handover between Osven and Salman was completed and the oath was made in the upper reaches of the Helmand River.
"Everyone here should know me." Osven said with a smile as he looked at his soldiers, "Next we need to complete a task, which is most likely to fail. To be honest, I don't like to deceive you. Half of you also have wives and sons, and it's too sad to die from lies."
"So I tell you what I want to do, and you will choose." Osven stood on the boulder, standing straight like a spear piercing the sky. "Some of you followed me out of Beigui and fought in the south. They understood my weakness, but no matter how weak, there were always some things to do. This time, we need to go through the mountain path to rescue the empire's scepter."
Osven explained the difficulty of this tactic in detail. Because it was different from the previous plan of the Imperial Scepter detour to Hindu Kush, Kushan had a lot of preparation time at that time, so the mountain path that the group of people in Urdu had food reserves.
But this time, Osven could only bring his own food and grass, but bringing his own food and grass will seriously slow down the marching speed, so how much food and grass is brought has become the most core point of this plan.
"Ten days, we can only bring ten days of food and grass. This means that we have passed and can only come back if we win. You have followed me for many years. You should know that I am not the kind of invincible general. I failed a lot, and my comrades, robes, and many people die by my side. I am only more lucky to be alive." Osven looked at the soldiers under his command with great calmness.
Osven is not talking nonsense about this. In Osven's opinion, Deepak, Gavin, and Gaqili are all better than him. They don't mention Awende, who has become a legend. However, those people are dead, and in the end, he is carrying Beigui's defense line.
"It may take about eight days to walk the mountain path around the fortress ahead, so once we pass, we cannot win and cannot save the Imperial Scepter, and we will not be able to come back. This is a mission that will most likely fail. If you fail, you will inevitably die. So I will not force you to stand on the right side with me and stay where you are unwilling to stay." Osven said calmly.
Osven is a honest man, so he didn't say anything about being willing to stay in place with him and not being willing to leave.
No one moved, Osven sighed, thinking that was it that way, and then someone looked up at Osven, "General, are you here?"
"Even if you don't have any one, I will go there. Even if I am defeated, I just need to see how I defeated." Osven was very calm. The more than 8,000 backbones lined up below began to stir up. Then someone smiled bitterly. After following Osven for so many years, the general knew that he would die if he was defeated. What's so great about me?
The first, the second, the third, soon a large number of Sun Knight backbones were separated from the team, one thousand, two thousand, and three thousand, and finally half of the soldiers separated from eight thousand people stood on Osven's right.
Among these people are elite backbones who followed Osven to Nangui, and iron players who were added to the back, as well as veterans who have been wasting their lives in the Beigui Mountains. These people are strong and weak, and the strong have three talents, and the weak have the strength of dual talents.
But for Osven, no matter how strong or weak you are, one more person will have more hope.
"Salman, record everyone's names and carve them on the stone tablet." Osven had a certain kind of winding on his body, which made Salman feel awe.
