Think about it. In the past, when fighting foreign countries, how many times did the front-line troops have one-third of the opponent's troops? Most of the time, weren't tens of thousands of people beating the opponent's hundreds of thousands?
If things get worse, there may even be tens of thousands of people with tens of thousands of servant soldiers recruited from unknown places to fight each other with hundreds of thousands of people from the other side.
Generally speaking, the size of the Han army this time is quite good. It can basically be said to be the largest external combat in history. After all, the main force of front-line operations alone, not counting the logistics support and transport personnel deployed from the rear, is enough.
Two hundred thousand.
However, this is just a regular force. When the front continues to extend and Baloyelga is captured, whether it is to defend the front line, protect the rear, or to maintain the horns and ensure the stability of the defense line, the Han army must be in Baloyerga.
A certain number of troops are stationed in Yuda and on the south side of the Yamuna River. In this way, the number of troops on the main battlefield will never exceed 160,000.
As for the plans of Jia Xu, Fazheng, Xu Shu and others at that time, for Zhou Yu, it was just what they said and what they heard.
No general who can reach this position has experienced hundreds of battles, let alone marching combat. In addition to Zhou Yu's strategy being no weaker than those mentioned above, this guy's own command ability is not inferior to Guan Yu. This guy feels like he lives just for
Give others a blow.
Chen Xi's strength is unparalleled in domestic affairs, while Zhou Yu's strength is all-round and has no blind spots, purely to attack other people's children of his own age.
Therefore, before the overall strategic plan of the Han army was sent, Zhou Yu received the combat method of dividing the Han army into three groups to knock out the Balo Yega battle zone, and he guessed what Chen Xi and his group were planning to do.
To a certain extent, there is really nothing you can do to command a large army like Zhou Yu except for dimension reduction strikes. If your own or the opposite army makes a move, this guy can guess most of the strategic plan. What's even more outrageous is that he can
Parry based on your own status.
A commander of a large army who can confidant himself, judge his own execution ability, analyze the opponent's strategies and tactics, and know his enemy well. Apart from Chen Xi's method of holding down the bull's head and forcing him to drink water, speaking normally, there is really no good solution.
method.
In turn, Zhou Yu had a rough understanding of the intelligence ahead and knew what Jia Xu Fazheng and his group wanted to do. He bet that with Zhou Yu copying Qu Nu City, Guan Yu would win the field battle.
Inferring this result, although Zhou Yu felt that he and Guan Yu on the front line were really each other's tools, he bet that Guan Yu was in a stalemate in the field and that he could forcefully rush to Qunu City by boat relying on the Kushan cloud cover, while Guan Yu bet that he could rush to Qunv City.
Shuang must retreat. After all, they are all tool people, okay.
Because of his understanding and expertise, Zhou Yu knew very well that even if the Han army held the idea that after Zhou Yu's sneak attack on Qunu City, Guan Yu would win the field battle, and Zhu Helai would definitely advise Vesutiva I to retreat to Qunu City, he would still be defeated in Bo.
There are enough troops left in Loyega's three places.
After all, this is a war, not a game of house. No matter how sure you are, no one dares to say that you will win before the fight begins.
Calculate defeat before calculating victory. You must despise the enemy strategically, but you must also pay attention to the enemy tactically. If you press forward in a wave, you will make a mistake. What if Zhu He's brain suddenly twitches and he really thinks Chao is wrong?
Although this is a low-probability event, you must be careful.
At this time, the strength of the Han army may be less than one-third of the Kushan army. As for saying that there is no large army to command, I honestly say that this generation has been discontinued. Is there still no previous generation? Oh, the previous generation.
Rahul and Arvind are also dead, so what about the previous generation?
That is, what about Selian's generation? The Da Yuezhi of that generation invaded Nangui, invaded Brahgas, and established the territory of Kushan. And those Da Yuezhi were basically five nobles.
Among these people there must be people who can command an army of hundreds of thousands or more than 200,000 people. At most, those people are old, unable to perform, and unable to go to the battlefield. But at this time, it is just a death. Those people will definitely help.
Hold on.
After all, it has only been forty or fifty years from that period to now, and according to the setting that famous generals basically live seventy years unless they are harmed, there are definitely some people in that group who are still alive, and more importantly, those people belong to Xun Qi
The type that is easy to frame even if you want to.
Just like Barkol back then, Xun Qi actually knew that the opponent's ability was much stronger than those of those he harmed, but it was difficult for Xun Qi to find a suitable opportunity to take down Barkol reasonably.
Just like Huangfu Song now, it's okay if you find reasons to impeach him, and it's okay to demote him, but if you want to kill Huangfu Song, it's impossible.
The same is true for old guys like Barkol. This is why Zhou Yu estimates that Kushan still has old people who can command. After all, Kushan has only been a country for a hundred years. In the imperial system, it is at its peak. The manpower accumulated in the early years of the pioneering period
I can still hold on for a while.
This is also the reason why Rome is watching the excitement. An empire in its heyday is not so easy to defeat. Although the Han Dynasty is strong, the foundation of Kushan is not weak.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Yu thought about sending some army troops to support the situation. Although the Jiangdong Army was indeed not very good at fighting, they had some standard shield guards by changing their uniforms to make up the number and defend the city.
Yes, there is still no problem.
"Then let's go to Qunü City together. Zhengfang and the others will lead the team to the front line to provide more support for the shield guards and so on. They don't need to fight hard, as long as they stand still and don't run around." Zhou Yu sighed and led the team.
He said with a bit of sadness.
How can I say the quality of Jiangdong's infantry? At least Zhou Yu felt that it was impossible to import some infantry from the north and then replace their Jiangdong infantry.
"It's okay. Wearing the Shield Guard Armor, we run around a lot less." Sun Ce recalled and said, "They used to run around, mainly because they didn't feel safe enough. Wearing the Shield Guard Armor, they still don't feel safe."
It’s quite sufficient, so it’s not a big problem to fight a defensive battle.”
"To be honest, I'm still a little worried." Zhou Yu felt a little bit in his heart. The buff of Jiangdong infantry running around when encountering opponents is really a headache. As for what Sun Ce said, there is some truth, but Zhou Yu is still a little worried.
After all, the scale of this battle is very large. If during the battle, the shield guard front sent by Jiangdong collapses, hundreds of thousands of troops will fight in melee, and the morale problem caused by the collapse of one front will be very fatal.
The main force of the Han army was deceived.
"Forget it, after thinking about it, I think it's better not to send regular shield guards. Our shield guards can block an ordinary-sized battle line. If they are placed on that kind of battlefield, if the mentality collapses and the battle line collapses, then
It's not helping, it's causing trouble." Zhou Yu said with a clear conscience, "Let's just send some main force there."
"..." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu. To be honest, it was Zhou Yu. If anyone else dared to humiliate the Jiangdong infantry like that, Sun Ce would have blown his head off. But if it were Zhou Yu, you wouldn't be an insult. Then
This is an actual review.
"Give me the troop deployment order, and I will make arrangements." Zhou Yu thought for a while and felt that it would be better to do some personnel work. They Jiangdong sent some reliable things over, which can be regarded as support.
"Here." Sun Ce raised his empty hand. He didn't have any troops. Zhou Yu asked for a hammer to mobilize his troops. Just go and mobilize your troops yourself.
Zhou Yu left, while Sun Ce sat aside and was lost in thought. This was a very strange scene. Sun Ce usually relied on an external brain to think, but this time his own brain was frantically brushing up on his presence, so much so that he was sitting cross-legged.
A few minutes later, Sun Ce, who was thinking with his arms crossed, felt quite happy.
Soon Zhou Yu arranged tasks for Li Yan, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Dong Xi, Huo Jun and others, and also allocated a group of shield guards transformed from the fearless infantry trained by Sun Ce to supplement their efforts.
Thousands of elite heavy-armed shooters were sent to Liu Bei to help.
These people can be regarded as Jiangdong generals with high level of land warfare. Originally Wenpin should also go there, but Wenpin was needed in Qunv City, so Zhou Yu sent someone else to go.
For Zhou Yu, participating in the great battle on the Baloyaka side, not to mention how many achievements he contributed, at least did not cause chaos to the Han Dynasty.
"Shi Yuan, please come over this time as the army's military advisor." Zhou Yu said to Pang Tong, "The situation at Balo Yega should be pretty good, but I guess the situation will not be as Jia Wen and them thought.
Good luck, you should be more careful when the time comes."
"Are you worried that there is a problem with the Ganges-Yamuna River battlefield south of Balo Yaga?" Pang Tong understood Zhou Yu's thoughts instantly, "But Jia Wenhe and Fa Xiaozhi are also talented people in the world, and it is impossible to connect such obvious
The situation cannot be seen, so they will definitely be on guard."
"I also believe that they are prepared, but what I want to say is that all precautions are meaningful when something happens, but when things really happen, it may not be too late." Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong solemnly.
said.
"Just to talk about it, do you think Kushan will have any arrangements between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers? When building the Baloyiga defense line, will they build this extended theater?" Zhou Yu looked at it
Follow Pang Tong until the crux of the problem.
"It will definitely happen. After passing Baloyerga, it is basically the essence of Kushan, and the road is flat. Even if there are some hills, it is generally a gentle slope plain. If you don't take some precautions, Baloyerga will be captured.
The door was wide open as soon as Shuang was there." Pang Tong said matter-of-factly.
"I think so too." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I believe Jia Wen and them also think so, but they still chose the area between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers as their battlefield. I have to think about whether they really
Are you so sure?"
"Fa Xiaozhi took risks, but Jia Wenhe was cautious and prudent. Now that he has chosen, he will definitely be sure." Pang Tong's eyes flickered for a while, and he gave a standard answer.
"I'm afraid that Fa Xiaozhi is too eager to win, and Jia Wenhe lets Fa Xiaozhi go." Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong and said seriously, "Strategically speaking, there will be a decisive battle between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. After defeating the opponent,
It’s easiest to win big.”
"Jia Wenhe shouldn't be like that." Pang Tong recalled Jia Xu he had seen, and said slowly, "But Fa Xiaozhi, what you said is very possible, that guy is in the stage of success, and others
Meritorious service is basically useless to him, but if he can defeat Vesudeva I in the decisive battle between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, it will basically set the tone for the rest of the war."
"Suppose that during the decisive battle between Ganges and Yamuna, Kushan was commanded by two large armies? What if the combat idea they used was binary nested command?" Zhou Yu suddenly said.
"Not to mention extravagant moves, even if the Han army wins the battle, it is impossible to defeat the opponent." Pang Tong looked at Zhou Yu. He did not believe that Zhou Yu was asking randomly.
"What I'm worried about now is that both Jia Wenhe and Fa Xiaozhi guessed what the Kushan regular army the Han army faced in the decisive battle would look like, but they still chose to fight there." Zhou Yu said with a solemn expression, squinting his eyes.
"You and I can guess that Jia Wenhe and Fa Xiaozhi can't guess that. If it is really like what you said, then there is only one explanation. These two people want to use a high-intensity strangulation battle to drag one of them to death.
." Pang Tong said slowly, Zhou Yu nodded, but was a little worried.
"Do you also think that there are some old guys in Kushan who have the ability to command large armies?" Zhou Yu felt a lot more at ease after listening to Pang Tong's argument and combining it with his own ideas.
"Isn't this inevitable? The Dayue clan was founded only a hundred years ago. It was only twenty years ago that the melee between the north and the south completely stopped and it entered a stable state. It was only forty years ago that the territory became stable. The batch of generals and commanders born during this period must now be
There are still people alive." Pang Tong said with a sneer.
"I also saw Salian's performance at that time. In good conscience, do you think the young Salian Marine had the ability to command a large army?" Pang Tong's ugly face was full of ridicule.
Zhou Yu nodded. Selian's land battles in his youth had definitely reached the level of commanding a large army. When Zhou Yu was chased by Selian and fought against Fuso, although Zhou Yu defeated Selian in the land battle, he still couldn't.
On the one hand, it's because Selian doesn't understand the terrain on the Fuso side, and on the other hand, it's also because Zhou Yu's land battle is not a parallel import.
"But as a commander of a large army, he was still a member of the Kushan royal family. As a result, he ran away as soon as he could. Not to mention the navy that was not yet formed at that time, at least there were definitely people at the same level as him in the army, and they were also from the royal family." Pang Tong looked calm.
He said calmly, this is just a very simple logical deduction.
"It seems that the judgments made by all of us are completely consistent, so the biggest problem has arisen." Zhou Yu pressed his eyebrows and said with a serious expression.
"What's the problem?" Pang Tong looked at Zhou Yu in confusion and asked. In his opinion, both Jia Xu and Fazheng deduced this possibility and chose the Ganges-Yamuna River decisive battle. They were definitely preparing to kill Kushan.
