Chen Xi didn't have any special feelings about this. On the contrary, it was a very good result in Chen Xi's opinion to allow Zhou Yu to score a decisive kill safely. At the very least, it meant that everything was still under his control.
Although a lot of outrageous things have happened during this period, the final result remained the same and was a success. Chen Xi still has a high degree of trust in Zhou Yu and Chen Xi.
"Captain, you should be here soon." Li Tiao asked with some speculation. Originally, Zhou Yu's whereabouts were confidential matters, but if Li Tiao asked, Chen Xi would still tell him.
"It's coming soon. It's just in the next few days. But if you think about it, there is no need for Sun Boxu and the others to stop here. We can just send the things there." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
Those war preparations are actually not important. Chen Xi wanted Zhou Yu to pick him up, and actually wanted to communicate with Zhou Yu, but after thinking carefully, not letting Zhou Yu come was the most correct choice.
At this time, Zhou Yu led the navy to dock here for a period of time. No matter how well-prepared he was, it would increase the possibility of exposure. From a strategic and tactical point of view, if the combat preparations were sent directly there and Zhou Yu would not dock here, he would be able to
Reduce the possibility of exposure a lot.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi also gave up the idea of meeting Zhou Yu. After all, Chen Xi had already thought of mobilizing those outstanding crew members from Jiangdong who were forced to know how to repair and operate machinery. The meeting was just to give Zhou Yu a mental preparation. In fact, it was really
It's not important to say it.
"If you rely on Baima Yicong to deliver things..." Li Tiao said with some embarrassment. It's not that Baima Yicong has no load, but he has to transport supplies without reducing his mobility. That would be really difficult for Baima Yicong.
"When the others come back, let them send them there. I still know what's going on with Bai Ma Yi." Chen Xi said with a smile. Bai Ma Yi is really fast, but the heavy weight has a great impact.
After Chen Xi finalized the follow-up arrangements, he sent Wu Yi and others to clean up the camp, rebuild the barracks, and once again release a high-standard scout team. After completing this, Guan Yu and other talents returned.
"How could he annihilate the backbone of the Second Eagle Banner Corps so quickly?" Liu Bei listened to the lectures of Wu Yi and others with a complicated mentality. Chen Xi's tactics were almost impeccable in other aspects besides costing money. He fought a well-prepared battle.
Chen Xi is really awesome.
"Yes, we thought it was the European barbarian army before, but we didn't expect it to be the barbarian citizens of the Second Eagle Flag? But since it is the Eagle Emblem Legion, why didn't we see the eagle emblem?" Wu Yi asked with a bit of curiosity.
road.
"Well, at least according to what the other party said, it is like this, and it should be so." Liu Bei said with some estimation. Liu Bei was not sure whether it was the Second Eagle Flag, but Macrinus could not lie to the Han army.
So it should be right.
Originally, whether they were elite or not could be determined by just fighting with each other, but the way Chen Xi beat these people was too brutal, and he didn't even engage in combat, so he couldn't tell based on their strength.
After all, with Chen Xi's fighting style, there is no difference between strength and weakness below a certain level.
Fortunately, Bai Wang had enough evidence that the other party had refined their talents, which was enough to prove that the other party was indeed at the Guards level.
On the other side, Guan Yu and the others were chatting with Chen Xi, hinting from time to time that Chen Xi should go back. Chen Xi was helpless about this. He could also understand what these people were thinking. He was on the front line, and these people were somewhat intimidated.
"Okay, okay, okay, when the navy led by Zhou Gongjin passes here, I will return to Chang'an. I originally wanted to communicate with him, but forget it now. I have basically done the research on the Ganges River.
." Chen Xi said angrily. He came here for business. Now that the business is done, it's time to return to Chang'an. It is indeed relatively dangerous here.
"Gong Jin should be here in the next day or two." Liu Bei opened the tent and said.
"Yes, it should be here in the next few days. We notified Gong Jin before we started. After he received the news and regrouped, it should be here in the next few days." Chen Xi nodded and said, "So in the past two days
You guys have figured out how to deal with Kushan's third line of defense. How far you can win depends on this move, but Altay didn't take action in the end?"
"Yes, the opponent is particularly able to keep his composure and never ends in the end. In this case, how to allocate troops will be a big problem in the next battle." Guan Yu said calmly, "I feel that the opponent is not weak.
.”
Precisely because Altay did not take action from beginning to end, the Han army had to return home in the end. Guan Yu's evaluation of the opponent increased significantly. However, it was precisely because of this extremely high evaluation that the Han army had to face the battle line in the next decisive battle.
Make adjustments.
"First of all, when Zhou Gongjin showed up at Qunv City, who did Guiwei Sudiva I go there with?" Chen Xi said calmly.
"I guess it's Oswin." Fazheng explained casually, "The current situation is obvious. It is impossible for Altay to leave, so the only one who can get through is actually Oswin. By then, there is a high probability that Altay will lead the remaining troops.
Stalemate with us."
"I also think so. If Altay retreats directly, given our situation, they will definitely pursue us. But once they fall into a pursuit battle, without the help of terrain and weather, it will be difficult for them to be our opponents." Pang Tong nodded and said,
"So the most likely possibility is that Altay will lead a force similar to ours to stay in the camp."
"The other side will definitely choose to change the weather and rely on the precipitation brought by the rainy season to force both sides to soak in shallow water and not engage in combat." Chen Xi frowned and expressed his guess.
"Guishuang's navy is still reliable." Liu Bei followed up and echoed.
On the contrary, Fazheng and Xu Shu looked at the expressionless Guan Yu. They had spent a lot of time hanging out with Guan Yu in the past few years, so these two people knew Guan Yu's thoughts to some extent. If it really reached that level, maybe Guan Yu's backhand could really break the situation.
, but fighting in the water is really complicated.
"Let's wait and see the situation after Zhou Gongjin comes. Unless he comes, many things cannot be determined." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, there are still Guishan naval forces on the Ganges River to blockade them, although they are not many.
But the number is not too small, and these are all issues that need to be considered.
On the other side, Taurus looked sad and handed over thirty castrated versions of the God-killing Spears to Macrinus, and then Macrinus took Taurus to the Altay camp. After all, this was
To grow things, you can only rely on Kushan to solve them.
It's actually meaningless for the Roman barbarians to get this. They need technology but no technology, they need materials but no materials, and they need technical backbone but no technical backbone. Only other beings in the empire can operate this kind of thing.
.
When Macrinus arrived, Altay was in the camp explaining the reasons for their defeat to the generals who participated in the battle. Although his command ability had declined due to age, his experience and subsequent summary showed no downward trend at all, and he even seemed to be getting stronger.
.
Altay was actually quite happy when he saw Macrinus coming. His sense of Macrinus was actually very good. If the other person was not a European barbarian, he would definitely be receiving his education now, but even a European
Manzi and Altay are also willing to provide certain support when they are short of manpower.
"Why don't you also listen to this?" Altay said with a smile, motioning for Macrinus to sit down, and Macrinus pointed at Taurus, and then presented the castrated version of the God-killing Spear, and Zhu next to him
Helai and Szegedi were both proficient in etching, and they could easily recognize what this thing was used for at a glance.
"Is there a crossbow spear that can produce violent explosions?" Altay looked much more serious after listening to Zhu Helai's analysis. Although he is an older generation, he has experienced a lot on the battlefield and knows very well what kind of innovation this kind of thing will bring.
, couldn't help but weigh the castrated version of the God-killing Spear back and forth in his hands.
"How much of this did you get?" Altay looked at Taurus and asked, "Thanks to you for attacking the Han army camp this time, otherwise we would have to use a lot of means to retreat from the Han army's offensive."
"I got more than thirty." Taurus said with a complex attitude. The heroic spirit and confidence before were all turned into regret. In just one battle, the barbarian citizens of the Second Eagle Banner Corps were
Fifty percent loss, these are all Imperial Guards!
"Go to the school field of the rear camp for a test." Altay showed the unique vigor and resoluteness of a general. Altay didn't know if this kind of thing could change the combat environment, but according to Zhu Helai, this thing is definitely not weak. This is enough.
.
A group of people came to the school grounds and used one shot. Seeing the power, Altay looked cautious, and then seemed to understand something and patted Taurus on the shoulder.
"Macrinus, if you need anything over there, just tell us directly." Altay said to Macrinus when he left.
Macrinus was satisfied with this. Altay could conduct experiments so quickly, and Zhu Helai could quickly analyze what these etchings were. In Macrinus' view, Kushan should be able to use this thing soon.
Get it out.
After returning to the camp, Altay looked at the castrated version of the God-killing Spear handed over by Macrinus, thinking thoughtfully. The previous power made Altay see more possibilities, but the Han army's original intention was to manufacture shield guards on a large scale.
Altay had guessed it not long ago. Now facing this kind of thing, Altay was inevitably a little frightened.
What if this thing is also a bait deliberately released by the Han Dynasty? After all, the shield guards may be bait, so why can't this expensive-looking thing also be bait?
"Come Zhu He, please lead some research and produce a targeted batch, but don't use the same technical ideas as the Han Dynasty. I just want the results." However, Altay quickly suppressed the unnecessary thoughts. It is absolutely not allowed to give up food because of choking.
, this thing is really powerful, and this alone is enough. At worst, you can specially adjust the technical ideas during research to avoid counterattacks.
It's a pity that Chen Xi's problem with this thing has not been in the technical thinking from the beginning. No matter what technical thinking you change, as long as the positioning does not change, it will not make any sense.
"It will probably take a while, and it will definitely not be used recently." Zhu He came to take the crossbow spear, and after taking a rough look to confirm that they could develop this technology, he said.
"No need now, just do it first." Altay said casually, "Well, I'm going to see His Majesty, do you want to come with me?"
"No, I'm going to study this thing. If we can waste less time, we will have more chances to win." Zhu Helai showed extremely high quality. Altay thought for a while and said nothing. For Zhu Helai
, although there is not much dissatisfaction on the Beigui side, they still trust Zhu Helai. Of course, they trust Zhu Helai's ability and loyalty to the country.
Zhu Helai returned to his camp, and it didn't take long for Bankim's letter to be delivered to Zhu Helai's camp. They were all code words. Zhu Helai took a rough look at it and understood the recent situation in Qunv City. He had to
It can be said that Khosroi is still very powerful, and to a great extent, he curbed the Han army's attack on Qunu City.
Of course, there are many reasons for this because guys like Lao Kou have no siege equipment at all, and there is basically no effective way to attack the high and deep Qunu City.
Therefore, the so-called attack on Qunu City is basically maintained at a level of siege but not attack. The real idea is more to cause shock in Kushan so that more Dalits can receive the news and realize new possibilities and routes.
.
Although the new king is arrogant, he can see these issues much more clearly than the new king from the height he stands at. Although he does not go deep into the masses because he stands high enough, he is far inferior to the new king in some social details, but he can do big things.
, seems very effective.
So much so that the previous vigorous siege of Qunu City by Dalits has now become even larger. More and more Dalits have received the news and are risking death by walking here.
Although from a strategic and tactical perspective, the arrival of these Dalits is not only not a good thing, but will also drag down the combat effectiveness of Kou Jun and others to a certain extent.
But they couldn't stand the fact that Khusroi was on the opposite side, so Kou Jun and others were able to continuously absorb new Dalits and send them away continuously to prepare for the future and so on.
At other times, this kind of untrained rabble gathered together and mixed up the main force, which made it difficult for the main force to perform well. If the enemy army suddenly broke out, the main force might be limited by the chaos of the rabble, and it was difficult to take action.
If it gets rolled back directly, everything will be ruined.
But who made Khusroi have a clear understanding, confirmed the attitude of the late king and the new king, and understood that this matter was a good thing for the Dalits, so when I was working, I had some tasks to deal with the Dalits, and I wanted to attack.
Prasang and others always hold me back. I suspect that they look down on me and think that I have colluded with the Dalit opposite.
