Chapter 964 Chola Kingdom

Relying on this method, Mengkangbu quickly raised more than 100,000 troops. Of course, half of them were miscellaneous soldiers, and the rest were generally old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were only tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers.

After all, they come from a group of small countries that are not even comparable to kingdoms. They are said to be countries, but in fact they are just city-states and tribes.

You can't raise a real dragon by diving.

These miscellaneous soldiers may not even be as good as the most common field soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but there is nothing. These people can be used to test, harass, and give up.

In short, no matter how useless things are, they have value, not to mention living people. Their weaknesses are weaknesses, so it’s not bad to gather more people.

No matter how difficult it is, it can still be done by digging a hole and filling it with soil.

When the time comes, the spear can be used to a certain extent as a combat force. If it doesn't work, it can be used to guard prisoners, suppress Wenjia, etc. If it doesn't work, it can always be used as a sailor to rock a boat, so every country must surrender people.

.

Relying on such means, Mengcombe successfully formed a quite large military force. Coupled with the pirates who had recently annexed everywhere, Mengcombe's team became larger and larger.

More importantly, this time there were not many elites belonging to Mengkhambu, and not many soldiers belonging to Kushan.

This means that Mengkangbu can use some inhumane tricks unscrupulously. Even whether it is victory or failure, as long as it can severely damage the Han Dynasty, it is good for Mengkangbu.

Sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living.

Mengcombe was not a good man. He had even made plans to use dead corpses to cultivate the plague and then poison it.

He knew that the Han army must have ways to prevent and control it, but every additional action was a test for the Han army. No matter what, the Han army was on an expedition after all.

When it comes to things like medicine, even if the method is clever, it will inevitably drag down logistics.

And to say the least, he was doing this to clear the country and restrict the Han Dynasty to the maximum extent.

"Even if this battle is won, I'm afraid there is no way to really shake the Han army's grand strategy. In the current situation, the Han army may lose tactically, but strategically it has always been in an advantageous state. We have been reacting passively.

If this continues, something will happen sooner or later."

Mengkangbu sighed repeatedly in his heart, but it was a pity that it could not change the overall situation!

Contrary to Cecilian's expectations, Mengcomb also had his own judgment on the situation in Kushan, and this judgment tended to be mainstream, that is, Kushan was strategically restricted.

Mengkangbu has now discovered the bias of the overall situation. The layout of the Han army always gives people the feeling that the opponent takes one step and counts three steps. They obviously lost the battle, but it made them more uncomfortable.

It's as if victory was sent to me intentionally by the opponent in order to seek greater victory.

This feeling is not good, very bad.

When victory or defeat on the battlefield cannot affect the overall situation, it is a tragedy for any military force.

Especially after confirming the authenticity of this feeling, Mengkangbu became more cautious when dealing with people or after his death. This is why Mengkangbo recruited natives, chiefs, and foreign countries everywhere, and borrowed troops from large and small kingdoms.

They even made plans to kill them all and use the plague to kill them all.

Because the development of the situation has given Mengkangbu a feeling that it is completely impossible to suppress the Han Dynasty with the power of his own hands.

Not only the power in his hands, Cecilian, Rahul, Arvind, it seems that the three most powerful points of Kushan were unable to suppress the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the previous series of events made Mengkangbu clearly aware that even if he could suppress the opponent, it was probably just a preparation by the Han Dynasty for a better outbreak in the future. This is not good!

He decided to abandon his past experience and use another way of thinking to open up the situation.

"What on earth is Mengkhambu planning to do?" Bangala, the fierce general of the Chola dynasty, murmured to himself.

He was assigned by Mengkhambu to log in in this direction, but he felt a little uneasy no matter how he thought about it. If the Han army deployed defenses in this place, it would cause a devastating blow to the soldiers of the Chola Dynasty.

In the face of a formidable enemy, even if Meng Kangbu wanted to deal with the Han Dynasty, he would not give them directly to the Han Dynasty.

After all, it is an incomplete imperial guard, a dual-talented legion, and a group of regular soldiers, with more or less strength.

The Chola dynasty still has some foundation. After all, it is a rising dynasty.

Bangalo is one of the foundations. As the most powerful general of the Chola dynasty, he can be considered worthy of the empire. He is at least stronger than Ma Dai and others.

The reason why he had been suppressed before was because of political insufficiency, but since the commander of the Guards Corps died in battle and the Guards suffered heavy losses, he was quickly activated and held great power.

However, no matter how strong they are, they are not confident enough to fight the empire. Just like Kalikala harboring evil intentions, Bangalo is actually inclined to sit on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity to come after deciding which one is stronger, the Han Dynasty or the Kushan Dynasty.

To start with, that is to say, you want to be a wall-rider.

In fact, they are now leaning towards neutrality, and both sides are terrifying.

Not to mention the strength of Kushan’s rule over the years.

The force pushed forward by the Han Dynasty was really terrifying, and they knew very well that the main force of the Han army was confronting Guishang.

This is just a partial army along the way. You can feel it just by watching the Han army push across the entire middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River.

Those who fought were the Kushan regular army, and their initial target was only a group of small kingdoms.

You must know that when Karikala was preparing to attack the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, he was mentally prepared to spend five to ten years slowly grinding it out.

As a result, whether it was a partial division of the Han army or a partial division of Mengkangbu, they just pushed past each other and achieved their goal of nearly ten years in half a month. The combat effectiveness of the two sides was not on the same level at all.

If the Imperial Guards were fully staffed, Bangalo would have thought twice about handing in a petition or something, but now he had no plan at all, just wondering how to maintain his strength.

Just make a splash on the battlefield and then just fake defeat and that's it. It's impossible to fight tooth and nail.

As long as the elite troops of their Zhuluo dynasty are not wiped out, there is more or less hope for them to make a comeback after the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty.

This is also the limitation of the kingdom, its vision is really narrow, and both the Han Dynasty and Kushan have already adopted a decisive battle posture.

They also thought they had hope of survival.

In fact, whether it is the Kushan or the Han Dynasty, after this battle, they will be completely swept into the dust of history and included in the empire's ruling territory.

This is also the tragedy of a small country. It is better than the top and more than the bottom. But when the empire really gets serious, their ideas are never considered.

If you go with it, you will prosper; if you go against it, you will perish.

"Military advisor, shall we squat on the top of the hill and wait for the other party to come over?"

Ma Dai stared at the opponent's warships eager to try. This place has a natural port. Therefore, if the Han army stayed here, it would not be long before the soldiers of the Chola Dynasty successfully landed.

"Let them go and let them land. We will stay at the top of the mountain. The view from the top of the mountain is quite good and it is a good time to wait for the opportunity." Fazheng said expressionlessly.

He couldn't arouse the slightest interest in a battlefield of this level. What's so good about it? Ma Dai, Ma Tiema, Su, Ma Liang and others led people from the top of the mountain to rush down, and they won directly in one wave.

In fact, it was enough to leave it to Ma Su and Ma Liang to plan, and Ma Dai to charge with iron.

But after all, Mengkangbu was a well-known general in Guishang. If it was really left to Ma Di and others to deal with it, he was more or less uneasy.

"Don't worry, we are squatting on the mountain, there is no shortage of water, and we will not be burned by the opponent's fire. It is obviously easier to defend when squatting on the top of the mountain than below!" Ma Di told Ma Dai about the benefits of squatting on the top of the mountain.

Ma Liang on the side listened and nodded repeatedly. Compared with Fazheng's casualness, Ma Di was better able to understand the concerns of Ma Dai and others, so he directly broke Fazheng's intentions into pieces and explained them to them.

Fazheng nodded silently after hearing this. Ma Su was obviously a good young man, but he had a copy of Liu Bei's comments in his hand. Liu Bei's evaluation of Ma Su was that he could be called a staff member and could never lead an army.

Although I don’t know why Liu Bei made such a judgment, Fa Zheng believed it.

Liu Bei has a very strong ability in judging people.

At present, he is only a little worse than Guo Hao. After all, Guo Hao fished out Chen Xi from Yingchuan. No matter who he was, he had to give a word of approval.

Crouching on the top of the mountain has the advantages of squatting on the top of the mountain, and nesting below has the advantages of nesting below. However, there is no shortage of water on the top of the mountain, and the opponent will not set the mountain on fire. It is obviously easier to defend on the top of the mountain than below.

After all, the Han army under Ma Dai's command only numbered about 10,000 people. It was good to squat on the top of the mountain. At least he had enough momentum when rushing down, and he might be able to crush the opponent's battle line in one go.

Ma Dai is also a fierce general. After overturning the Imperial Guards with a frontal attack, his status in Fazheng's eyes has skyrocketed.

In the past, he might have regarded him as a general at his disposal, but now, he has regarded Ma Dai as a person of equal status.

So no matter what stupid question Ma Dai asked, he would respond with a few words instead of just ignoring it.

For those who are superior, sometimes there is no need to explain too much about one's tactical intentions to the soldiers, as long as the soldiers obey orders.

But it needs to be explained to the generals so that they can better implement the plan.

"After getting close, shoot one round first, then cease fire and let them go ashore. When they come over, shoot two more rounds. Let them leave three or four thousand people on their way."

Fazheng casually said to Ma Dai that Fazheng didn't care at all whether doing this would expose him or not, he was just attracting firepower.

He just wanted to tell the Chola Kingdom that they had arranged an ambush here.

He needed to observe the reaction of the generals of the Chola Kingdom to deduce Mengkhambu's plan. The opponent had been in the cyber force since his appearance and had nearly 200,000 people under his command. Even if they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, this

Not a good sign either.

Fazheng is not naive enough to think that the old, weak, sick and disabled are really not a threat at all. On the imperial battlefield, no single point should be underestimated.

"Here!" Ma Dai nodded after hearing this, and looked at the Zhuluo army in the mist from a distance. The top of the mountain is great, the field of vision is broadened, and the observation range is large enough. More importantly, they have the ability to strike from a long distance. It's great.

It couldn't be better.

Because of his outstanding performance, Huang Zhong assigned him a dual-talented vocal shooting battalion. Although there were only a thousand people and their majors were not suitable, his abilities were there. Even if he was not good at it, it was still a battle for the miscellaneous soldiers.

disaster.

A large number of small boats were released by Bangalore, and soon they found a natural port where they could easily land. However, as soon as the soldiers of the Chola Dynasty gathered there, the ultra-long-range strike of the sound was already launched.

However, the effect was not good. They simply designed and calculated the landing point. The ship's built-in defense easily blocked the arrows, and only a few unlucky ones were hit.

After a long time, soldiers from the Chola Dynasty began to land.

Another rain of arrows fell, and this time the Shesheng Battalion really used the most essential power of the Shesheng Battalion, which was the will-guided arrows. In theory, arrows were sure to hit. Almost every arrow would take away a soldier.
