After Li Hui submitted his credentials, he actually realized that he had gone too far. The other party's unusual behavior was also a test for him, but it was no longer important. Knowing who the other party was and what kind of war mode he was good at
enough.
It's nothing more than that the other party has already guessed something, but so what, the Han Dynasty doesn't even bother to conceal its intentions. If we want it from thousands of miles away, we will get it!
Likewise, if we want to fight Kushan, no one can stop us.
As for whether the process of doing these things will trigger a large-scale war, the Han Dynasty has long been mentally prepared. Whether reinforcements come or not, it is an unstoppable process for you to fulfill your promise.
If you are unwilling to honor it, then we will do it ourselves. However, whether you can bear our method is not our concern.
[Somewhat careless.] Li Hui thought with some regret as he rode his pony. When he takes the initiative to test others, it is easy to ignore another possibility, that is, the other person is also testing him.
On his way back on horseback, Li Hui met Meng Huo's scouts. They were barbarians in groups of three or three, painted black, with feathers from unknown birds on their heads and leaves that were completely indistinguishable from their bodies.
The weapons used were also poisoned blow darts. If Li Hui hadn't been wearing Confucian robes, these people might have taken action directly.
"General Meng, are you going to march here?" Li Hui was escorted by a group of scouts and brought to Meng Huo. He asked with some confusion, "Is time already so urgent?"
"Well, we don't have much time. General Zhang ordered me to be the vanguard, bypassing the main camp of Kushan and heading to the west of Wenjia to attract the opponent's attention and force the opponent to divide their forces to deal with it." Meng Huo said with a smile, grabbing a vanguard.
Meng Huo was very satisfied with the location.
"Divide the troops? If there is only one legion, our army will not have an advantage against the opponent, and once the opponent invests too many troops, General Meng will be in certain danger." Li Hui is also a person who knows soldiers, and he understood instantly.
The disadvantages of this move.
"I also have General Meng Dameng and Wutu Gu to support me." Meng Huo said with a smile. Although it was dangerous, he would not worry at all if he was prepared. What's more, the Kushan army was also limited, and Zhang Ren
If you dare to do this, how can you be unprepared?
"Are you trying to hide it from the enemy?" Li Hui frowned, "It's very dangerous to do this. Guishang is defending the camp. It won't be easy for our army to win, not to mention that Guishang has changed his commander."
"Change of commanders?" Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "These things have nothing to do with me. I'm just doing it as a bait, involving part of the opponent's energy, and creating opportunities for General Zhang to break through the opponent's camp. Military affairs are like this, execution
That’s it!”
"It seems that it is the plan of Zhang Shilang or Wang Changshi. General, please go ahead and I will go and report. Please be careful, the other party may also have a plan." Li Hui looked at Meng Huo sincerely and said.
"Don't worry, Chang Shi. When I return from the victory, I'll treat you to a drink." Meng Huo said with a smile. He really didn't take this matter to heart. He could trust Zhang Ren's abilities and conduct.
"Okay, then let's return to the rear first." Li Hui nodded and drove away quickly on his pony.
After Li Hui left, Meng Huo thought carefully and decided to continue marching according to the previous plan. Whether it was the wisdom of Zhang Su, Wang Lei and others, or Zhang Ren's ability, he recognized it, not to mention that the military order had been issued and executed.
That is, as for the danger, if you raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while, if it is not dangerous, why should you be raised?
During Li Hui's retreat, he also saw Meng Da and Wu Tu Gu who were supporting him. After seeing Wu Tu Gu's Tengjia Army, Li Hui felt much more at ease and guessed Zhang Ren's plan. It was just a war. Things are hard to say!
When Li Hui continued to spend time rushing back, he encountered Zhang Ren's investigation on the way. At this time, he had completely guessed Zhang Ren's plan.
Just like the Kushans have figured out the advantages and disadvantages of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has also seen the strengths of the Kushans. The opponent's soldiers are relatively better than the Han Dynasty in terms of small-scale cooperation and individual soldier quality. Well, at least they are Stronger than Yizhou soldiers.
In other words, if Yizhou wants to attack Guishang, the best option is to concentrate its superior forces, make a fist, force the opponent to fight, and then beat the opponent to death with one punch.
In the same way, if Kushan wants to fight the Han Dynasty, the best option is to disperse the Han Dynasty's forces, expand the scale of the battlefield, and fight the decisive battles into battles one after another, eating away at the Han Dynasty's strength until they gain the upper hand and complete their victory in one battle.
Generals like Zhang Ren, who were not known for their force, would naturally notice this. He also believed that Kushan, who had lost a round before, would definitely make great efforts to study the situation in the Han Dynasty.
The large number of civil servants and generals stationed in Guishan west of Wenjia will definitely notice this, so given the current situation, Guishan will never choose to directly fight a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty.
No one is stupid, they are all generals carrying the country's external affairs. Every move they make will affect the life and death of the soldiers, and may even affect the future direction of the country's situation.
So when the strength is not enough, there are not many choices that Kushan can make. Hold on and wait, especially when their reinforcements are coming, sticking to the camp and waiting for the reinforcements to arrive seems to be the best choice.
Even if Kushan simply chose to stand still and wait for help, it would be an extremely bad situation for the Han Dynasty. After all, Kushan did not do anything this year, and the camp and defense were also under construction. Kuishang, who has demonstrated the ability to completely rely on camp defense to let go, is not that easy to win with Zhang Ren's military strength alone.
What's more, if possible, Zhang Ren would generally not do something like storming the camp. After all, it hasn't reached that urgent situation yet.
In addition, it has not been tested, and it is still unclear whether it can be captured. In this case, what the Han Dynasty actually has to do is to find a way to drag the Kushan army out of the camp, and then engage in a decisive battle. You need to be confident before attacking.
Naturally, this involves part of the calculation, that is, how to make the Kushans tempted to walk out of the built camp, and how to ensure that the Han army's bait is not swallowed by the Kushans.
This will also involve the deployment of troops on both sides, the thoughts of the generals, and the current situation. There are many gambling aspects involved, but there are a few points that cannot be bypassed at all.
That is to say, the Kushans judged their own advantages, divided the troops of the Han Dynasty, and crossed the Kushan camp into the Kushan mainland. Even if Baicheng and Mingshan were all Xinna territories, the Kushan side would proceed further accordingly. analysis.
The war taking place on the territory of another country and the war taking place on one's own territory are two completely different concepts. The Han Dynasty forcibly sent troops to cross the Kushan camp, and then after the Kushan failed to respond accurately, the spears were Standing in front of the Kushan camp.
In this case, Kuishang would not have much choice, either to turn a blind eye to the Han army that forcibly crossed its camp, and to confront the Han army head-on indifferently.
Either confront the Han Dynasty head-on, and divide the troops from behind to chase and kill the Han army vanguard who crossed them into the Kushan mainland.
The former will win in a stable manner, but in a normal war mode, it is very likely that the Han army that has crossed the camp will cut off the food and water routes, and then be forced into a state of pincer attack from both front and rear.
Of course, it is clear that Kushan has reinforcements, and there is no possibility that the food and water routes will be cut off. After all, the Han Dynasty does not have so much time to waste. The reinforcements in the southern part of Kushan can arrive in as fast as ten days or as slowly as twenty days.
, the Han army that crossed the Kushan camp did not have that much time to spend on running out of food and water.
In other words, theoretically speaking, the Kushan main camp can completely ignore the troops and horses that the Han Dynasty crossed the Kushan camp, but this is only theoretical, and war is sometimes completely theoretical.
Face.
Morale, fighting spirit, and fighting spirit may sound empty, but they actually control the battle situation.
It can be said that the Han Dynasty did not care about the soldiers and horses that crossed the Kushan camp. The Kushan side just carried on steadily and waited for reinforcements. The next day the Han Dynasty went to war, as long as they tried their best from the beginning and risked the possibility of being unable to succeed.
The danger reached a balance of power in a short time, and then the legion that crossed the Kushan camp penetrated from behind, and the battle was settled.
This kind of war that pretends that reinforcements have arrived, catches the balance of power, stabs the dog in the back, beats the dog behind closed doors, and directly breaks the original invincible situation. There should not be too much ancient Chinese history, ranging from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even the Liberation War.
, there are too many people who rely on this kind of move to defeat their opponents.
The opponent lets go and fights with all their strength, while those waiting for reinforcements must always be prepared for reinforcements that may appear at any time. In this case, as long as the gap between the two sides is not large, the latter will lose, and Zhang Su and Wang Lei are betting on Guishang
Because he knows his troops well, he will rely on his army to besiege Meng Huo for the chance of victory.
Because instead of sending a small army to contain the Han army that crossed the camp, most of them relied on the camp to fight against the Han army, and finally delayed the arrival of reinforcements. It would be better to have a similar success rate, but win the battle.
Ways to gain more later.
That is to say, the chance of victory is directly placed on the branch that goes to pursue the Han army detachment, and it is equipped with troops that can definitely defeat the Han army behind it, while the general defends the camp.
As long as the camp can be defended in this way, Kuishang can kill at least one Han army and completely crush the Han army's strategy. With luck or good design, the balance of power can be caught and even the Han army can counterattack the main formation.
Faced with a situation with almost the same success rate, after the Han Dynasty had already played chess first, as the commander-in-chief of an empire, whether it was Brahe who had stepped down or Rahman who was now in charge of the camp, he would definitely choose the latter.
.
Defensive warfare is also a method of warfare that pays attention to skills. There is a big difference between pure defense and defensive counterattack. If you can choose, as long as you can be considered an excellent commander, you will definitely choose defensive counterattack!
