As the Han army marched slowly, Durga cautiously began to adjust the layout of her camp after receiving more accurate information. Although the city of Kalana Suvarna was behind her, Durga still
Set up camp outside the city and defend the city.
"General, the Han army is coming from the north and is only twenty miles away from us." After discovering the undisguised Han army, the scout immediately returned to report.
"Order Kailash to lead the Peacock Legion to suppress the battle, Sakala to lead the Kshatriya Warrior Legion in front of the battle, and other elite soldiers to guard the camp on the left and right. The auxiliary troops are commanded by their respective centurions and stationed in the middle camp. In the state of the previous martial arts performance,
Form a square formation." Durga calmly said to the messenger.
Although Szegedi had repeatedly assured that the Han army could not come here just to have a fight with Durga, out of caution, Durga still carefully arranged the camp and stabilized the battle lines everywhere to prevent the Han army from having a chance.
Can be multiplied.
Even in order to avoid the situation like when Sakala led his troops to face Guan Yu before the appearance of the auxiliary troops, Durga directly used the elite soldiers to defend the camp, and arranged the auxiliary troops in a square formation on the martial arts field in the middle. Once something happened,
If there is no harmony, just push forward in a square formation.
There was basically no hope for the Bi soldiers to cooperate with the Kushan side, so after discussing with Durga, Szegedi suggested that Durga arrange the auxiliary soldiers into a square formation and push forward with spears.
Although this will have great disadvantages, and it is easy to be focused by bows and crossbows, when facing the enemy head-on, the combat effectiveness is not bad. As for the shortcomings, Szegedi does not care about losses at all, but Durga cares about battle losses.
But at this point in time, combat effectiveness is more important than losses.
So in the end, Durga chose Szegedi's plan, and in order to ensure combat effectiveness, she had conducted spearman phalanx drills in the martial arts field many times before.
Although the shortcomings of this simple dense phalanx are obvious, it is indeed synonymous with safety for the Kushan auxiliary soldiers. After all, everyone lines up in dense rows and moves forward with their guns drawn, without saying anything else.
It said it felt very safe.
Therefore, after arranging like this, the morale of the Kushan auxiliary soldiers began to stabilize, and the soldiers also slightly improved their fighting spirit. Durga was deeply satisfied with this.
As long as the more than 200,000 auxiliary troops do not collapse, even if the Han army wants to win, it will not be easy. In this way, Durga will have the confidence to deal with Guan Yu.
On the other side, the Han army was taking their time. As the bodyguard of the Chinese army, the shield guards were behind Guan Yu's swordsmen. On both sides were Guan Yu's main formations, forming a tight formation and advancing slowly, all the way.
Neither slow nor slow, but the momentum is getting stronger and stronger.
This point is indeed consistent with who brings what kind of legion. The headquarters that has followed Guan Yu for several years has already mastered the kind of gradually accumulated momentum. At the beginning of the battle, with thunderous means, it is as if the sky is falling.
An act that crushes the opponent's spirit.
After walking all this way, they arrived a thousand steps in front of Durga Camp, and when they stopped to form a formation, the generals stationed on the opposite side of the camp felt their hearts skip a beat, and the unparalleled momentum came over them like a wave.
, breathing became much heavier.
I don't know if it was an illusion or something, but the brightness formed by the power of the Sun God to disperse the rain clouds suddenly became dim at this moment. The elite of the Han army seemed to be devouring the glory that belonged to this land.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Guo Jia stopped and looked at the camp outside the city from a distance. Although Guo Jia was not very good at tactical command, after all, he had experienced too many battles and the camp layout was good or bad. Guo Jia was still
It's clear at a glance.
"At a glance, there are more than ten flaws." Xu Shu crossed his arms with a sneer on his face. As long as it is a dead formation, a flaw is a flaw. And for a fixed defensive formation like the camp, with Xu Shu's vision and talent, he can see it at a glance
.
"There are more than a dozen flaws. How many of them can be used?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said. Guo Jia also roughly found a few, but none of them were usable.
"Two or three." Xu Shu squinted his eyes and said, "The other party is quite cautious. Although the camp has flaws, most of them have been made up for by its strong military strength. Even the two or three flaws that can be used,
It is also difficult to cause fatal injuries."
"Normally, cautious generals are like this. Those two or three flaws may not be due to Durga's own camp design, but mistakes caused by the soldiers who built the camp." Guo Jiayuan looked at the shadowy figures in the camp.
said.
"This guy is difficult to deal with." Xu Shu spread his hands and an image appeared. Taking advantage of the clouds hiding on the opposite side, he used remote observation. Unexpectedly, he actually detected it.
"That's cruel!" Guo Jia said expressionlessly as he looked at the group of soldiers holding spears and forming a neat square formation in the image.
"But there are many people on the other side, so doing this can really bring out the greatest effect." Xu Shu closed the image in his hand and said.
"If this were to happen, even if we could win, we would probably lose a lot of money. This formation has been abandoned in the Central Plains for a long time, but it can only be said that it has poor adaptability and has too many disadvantages, but as long as it is used in certain places, it is very good.
"Guo Jia nodded in agreement with Xu Shu's words.
The dense spear phalanx is called the Macedonian phalanx in Europe. In the Central Plains, it is a bit close to the Qin army's spear phalanx. However, both of them later fell out of the historical trend because both were severely restrained by bows and arrows. What restraint was there?
Yes, it also depends on the scale.
At least Guo Jia's side cannot organize tens of thousands of archers to deal with the impact phalanx of Guishuang's side. Without such a scale, it is really beyond the power to deal with such a phalanx of probably 200,000 people.
, of course, if the other party can collapse itself, then there will be no problem.
It's just a standard dense phalanx, which is probably the most difficult formation to collapse, and it's also the best phalanx for the supervising team to supervise, because this kind of phalanx makes it difficult to turn around when retreating. The supervising team only needs to stabilize part of it.
Everyone will be pushed forward.
This formation that was popular in the late Spring and Autumn Period, to be honest, really conformed to the standards of the time.
"It's not easy for an opponent like this to make a surprise attack, and once the opponent's phalanx is released, our side will be a little passive." Xu Shu sighed after hearing this.
After hearing this, Guan Yu, who was stroking his beard, gradually became cold and indifferent, his eyes were half-squinted, and with indifference in his solemnity, he rode his horse forward with Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
Even though Guan Yu didn't say anything, his demeanor still made the leaders of Guishang understand what Guan Yu meant.
"It seems that the other party wants us to go out and answer questions." Szegedi looked at Durga and said. The soldiers stationed in front of the camp were almost as if they were facing a powerful enemy at this time. I don't know if it was their illusion or something. The aura on Guan Yu's body,
Make them feel uneasy.
"Go and have a look." Durga said coldly, "Sakala, Szegedi, you two come with me. The other party wants to meet, so we will also go and have a look, and keep an eye on him when the time comes."
"Okay." Szegedi nodded and said, he knew what Durga was talking about.
"Wait a minute, I will give you the power of the gods and Buddhas. The bearded man is very strong. He is so strong that when the other party glances at me, I feel a little hairy. When the time comes, the other party will be really shameless and I don't have time to protect you." Sakala was careful.
said.
"That's fine." Durga replied with a cautious look. His strength is no worse than Sakala's, but he just doesn't show it in front of others. Since Sakala said so, it's better to be cautious.
Guan Yu rode his horse and took Guo Jia and Xu Shu for two hundred steps, and stood there coldly three hundred steps in front of the Kushan camp without saying much.
Soon Durga came out with Sakala and Szegedi on horseback. Without any timidity, she marched to a stone's throw away from Guan Yu and held her hands to Guan Yu with an indifferent expression.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see." Guan Yu looked at Durga up and down, then at Sakala and Szegedi. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he was not interested in speaking first. He naturally turned his horse around and faced Guo Jiahe.
Xu Shu greeted him, and Guo Jia raised the corner of his mouth and nodded to follow.
The moment Durga saw this scene, she felt confused. If she didn't say anything and waited for them to arrive, she would look at him and turn around and leave. Wouldn't it just humiliate them for being so inconsiderate?
"Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty, since you are here, why don't you say something?" Durga still remembered Guan Yu's title. Seeing that Guan Yu looked down upon them, he immediately asked coldly with his mind.
"There's nothing to say. I've seen what I need to see." Guan Yu said coldly, "On the battlefield, you just have to rely on your skills."
Guan Yu only said half of what he meant, but everyone actually understands what it means. I don’t want to tell you, and I am too lazy to tell you. War matters should be handled by war.
"Is the Han army so confident?" Durga's face showed no emotion or anger. She crossed her hands and held the reins and looked at the opposite side with ridicule.
Guo Jiale stopped and nodded to Guan Yu, "Confidence? No, no, no, I'm afraid you Kushans don't understand what you are doing."
"Do you Han people know what you are doing now?" Szegedi said calmly. Since the other general did not speak, Durga should not speak either.
"It's just a matter of cleaning up the ignorant ants in the vassal state." Guo Jia said with an undisguised cold light in his eyes.
"How domineering!" Szegedi spoke directly in Chinese this time. Guo Jia was even stunned for a moment, but the next moment he said, "Domineering? No, this has been since ancient times."
Szegedi was heartbroken and told the Han Dynasty about being overbearing. Think about why Cheshi Kingdom became two countries. Think about why Dawan Kingdom was pressed to the ground and rubbed. Overbearing? The foreign policy of the Han Dynasty is that if you are willing to be obedient, then
I am your father, and if you don’t want to obey me, I will beat you until you kneel down and call me daddy!
