Chapter 461
The storm is coming
The dual talents of Lu Lingqi's troops are a bit impure. After all, they are shortcuts to achieve dual talents, and their combat effectiveness is somewhat worse than that of the Wolf Cavalry at the same time.
But dual talents are dual talents, and there is no time for you to mess around on the battlefield.
It doesn't matter if you are stronger than me. In the past, a wave of charges was all about fighting for one's life. As long as you are not a Guardsman, when the two sides are hedging, the battle losses will be a few to one at most.
As the offensive force of the middle route army, with Gao Chong leading the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the forefront, and Jiang Wei and Lu Lingqi as the flanks, Zhuge Liang can be sure that the opponent will definitely retreat with concern for casualties, and a head-on confrontation is not a good choice for the Camel Cavalry.
"General Yu Jin, General Le Jin, you will lead your headquarters to intercept from the rear left. You are not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to disrupt the opponent's retreat plan and hold the opponent back."
Zhuge Liang gave an order to Yu Jin and Le Jin, saying that if the opponent was determined to fight with them here, then he would let the opponent know what it means to be flanked by two sides.
"No!" Yu Jin and Le Jin stood up and saluted calmly. Their troops almost didn't care, but if their single talent of 10,000 was just for interception, it would be enough.
To be honest, this arrangement is very unreasonable. Everyone is a cavalryman. Who can get out faster than others?
It can be said that if Zhuge Liang had not locked the opponent's position in advance and prejudged Xu Huang's position, Yu Jin and the others would never have encountered Camel Rider.
But even so, Yu Jin and Le Jin were able to intercept the Camel Cavalry, and the Camel Cavalry also had plenty of time to evade to the right.
Of course Zhuge Liang would not leave such a loophole. He came with the intention of completely destroying the Camel Rider in one battle.
"General Xu Huang, Pang Tong and you two will lead the troops to set up an ambush here. The camel cavalry will evacuate from here. As long as we can intercept them for a while, our army will win this battle!" Zhuge Liang ordered to Xu Huang.
"No!" Xu Huang stood up and spoke silently, without asking stupid questions like what would happen if he didn't meet the enemy.
The army is unpredictable. After Zhuge Liang has laid out the overall situation, the rest depends on their on-the-spot performance. What's more, he has Pang Tong with him, so if there is a problem, Pang Tong will naturally make the judgment.
"The rest of you stay in the camp and stay in the camp. Do you understand?" After Zhuge Liang gave orders to all the main generals, he began to assign tasks to Liu Chan and others.
"Sima Yi, you will be in command of the camp. After our army moves out, you will decide all matters concerning the defense of the camp."
"Okay!" Sima Yi looked subtle, but still nodded silently and said.
"All the officers and men are stocking up on food and grass. We will rest today and we will lead the army to set off tomorrow!" Zhuge Liang immediately ordered after seeing that everyone had no problems.
After everyone went out to prepare for the war, Zhuge Liang sat there and took a deep breath. He was about to face his first war. Compared with the last time the Yulin army accompanied him, this time it was really difficult.
a lot of.
…
"General, there is a report from the front that more than 20,000 support troops have arrived in Congling. Our previous opponent with half of the troops evacuated the camp and headed north."
The adjutant Zalisa reported to the commander-in-chief Fulward with a solemn expression. What they were most worried about had happened, that is, the Han Dynasty's control over Congling exceeded their expectations.
In less than half a month from the first day of fighting, the Han Dynasty actually sent reinforcements. This is such a terrifying speed of support.
"It's not good!" Fulward looked solemn as well. The first wave of reinforcements means that subsequent support will never be cut off, and Vesudeva I's test of the Han Dynasty may be terminated.
"Compile all the information we have obtained so far, and after testing the quality of this batch of reinforcements in a few days, send them back to Peshawar immediately. At that time, we will retreat to the desert!" Ward ordered after hesitating again and again.
.
The previous intelligence was enough for communication, but as the leader of the Undefeated Camel Riders, he naturally could not be directly scared away by the reinforcements from the opposite side. He had to at least test the level of the reinforcements.
"We should have been exposed. Is it necessary to pretend to be a rebel?" Zasali suddenly asked.
"Go on, some things cannot be put on the table after all." Fulward looked calm and was not moved by Zasali's words. Since he had surrendered to Vesutiva I, he had to consider it.
.
As long as they don't raise their flag, no matter how the matter is defined, it will not trigger a war between the two empires, and they may even occupy the peak of public opinion because of it.
Public opinion may not seem worth mentioning, but to a certain extent, it can exert a destructive power that is not inferior to weapons.
"Do we really need to be so cautious? We have never been defeated in Khorasan, and all the opponents who claim to be comparable to us have been trampled under our feet in the end." Zasali said to himself quite angrily.
.
"For elites like us, now we can only fight in this place with an unwarranted identity. Is it really worth it?"
"Get out! Do what you should do!" Fulward didn't explain anything. Zasali was still too young and only had glory in his eyes.
As a middle-aged commander, he has experienced too many things. Glory is no longer the most important thing for him. Politics and interests are what he needs to consider now.
But this is also a good thing. Only by focusing on glory can you gain glory. Without Zasali's drive, how could the camel rider maintain an undefeated state.
"Not even defeated?" Fulward shook his head. It's not that the camel rider is really that powerful and can trample all enemies under his feet.
What's amazing is that he is the best at Ward. Every opponent is analyzed thoroughly by him. This is the foundation for their camel riding to win more than 30 times.
Is there really no legion in Kushan that is as powerful as camel riding?
Of course it’s impossible!
Whether it is the Kushan legion, the Royal Guards of Peshawar, or even the Kshatriya warriors, each one of them is an opponent that their camel riders cannot defeat.
Fulward has known the shortcomings of his method from a long time ago, which is why the camel rider has never been able to take the next step.
A shortcut is just a shortcut after all. How can elites who have not fought against the enemy in a real sense advance to the next stage?
But he had no choice. He could only use this cheating method to help Camel Rider establish his undefeated reputation.
In the past, he couldn't afford to lose. Once he lost, all his enemies would pounce on him as ferociously as jackals.
This was also the reason why he decisively took his men to join Vesutipo I after realizing that he had great talents and great plans.
