[Hmm, I feel like I've overlooked something.] Sima Yi looked at the cavalry emerging from the opposite side, looking a little confused. He didn't need to worry about combat. Both Gao Lan and Wei Yan were good at marching and fighting.
What's more, the soldiers under the two men are top elites who take into account both output and combat effectiveness. There are only a few thousand cavalry, which puts little pressure on both sides.
[This kind of fruitless thing is not like Zhuge Liang's style at all.] Sima Yi thought silently that he had an innate understanding of Zhuge Liang, that guy was one who would try to sneak in some other things even if he was testing.
Looking back now, it is obvious that this matter was just a test, and the cost invested was so huge. It was unreasonable at all, unless there was something that had to invest so much money to verify. However, Sima Yi had no idea what it was.
.
"What could it be?" Sima Yi looked at the Kushan cavalry who were already stationed to recruit troops a mile away from him, with a strange look on his face. He really couldn't imagine what Zhuge Liang wanted to do, but as he thought about it, Sima Yi became more and more sure.
Zhuge Liang did have other ideas.
"Speaking of which, when we came down from the mountains from the north, there was nothing good to see, and we didn't encounter anything." Sima Yi looked at the Kushan cavalry on the opposite side, who was arranging his troops and preparing to break through. He was still confused.
After a while, Sima Yi sighed, "There are only mountains along this road, and there are just some military camps from Beigui..."
As he spoke, Sima Yi's voice became lower and lower, and his face gradually turned livid. If you don't pay attention to some things, it would be difficult to notice them even if you put them in front of you. But if you notice them, Sima Yi's wisdom will inevitably be able to see them.
Some doorways.
"Zhuge Kongming, you are so ruthless!" Sima Yi said with a livid face. He already knew what Zhuge Liang wanted to verify. The mountainous area in Beigui was, if nothing else, a military camp. Think about it when you go south and take different mountain roads.
We encountered several military camps. It was impossible for Kushan to arrange military camps at those locations.
If you think about it the other way around, there is only one possibility, and that is that the Kushans have a large number of military camps in the Beigui Mountains. The density is so high that Han Dynasties will inevitably encounter them on any road they take. In the mountainous areas of Beigui, there are almost hundreds of military camps.
Ten thousand square kilometers, how many military camps will there be?
"What's wrong?" Gao Lan glanced at Sima Yi and asked.
"Nothing!" Sima Yi said coldly. At this time, he didn't even have the thought of swearing. It was only now that he realized Zhuge Liang's true purpose. This was no longer a one-sided move. I'm afraid the two sides were no longer on the same level.
.
This feeling is inexplicably uncomfortable. I think back then, the level of the two of them was almost the same, but now there is such a huge gap.
"Zhongda, you can take a look at this." Sima Yi recalled that a book Zhuge Liang gave him was full of all kinds of chicken soup. At first glance, it was something created by Chen Xi. Now he finally understood that Zhuge Liang's feelings at that time
It was already hinting that he could take a break.
[The gap is already so huge.] Sima Yi tried his best to suppress the frustration in his heart. He was obviously standing at the same height, but now he can hardly see the other person's back. It is obvious that Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang.
Even older!
In Congling, Zhuge Liang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance. For some reason, Zhuge Liang, who had been working all the time, suddenly wanted to take a break.
[I wonder what Zhongda will think after knowing the facts?] Zhuge Liang couldn't help but have such an idea, and then he couldn't help but smile. For Zhuge Liang now, it doesn't matter what happens to Sima Yi after knowing the facts.
If you can see through it, you can see through it. If you can't see through it, then there is only one layer between it. Sima Zhongda's material is already the best in the world, but it can only be said that he chose the wrong person.
"The battle with Fulward is probably a failure." Zhuge Liang looked at Li Jue's battle report and shook his head helplessly. He didn't have time to solve this matter. Now he can only rely on Li Jue's large-scale dispatch to reduce the problem.
The size of the opponent.
Even if the opponent continues to grow stronger through military training, until the Han Dynasty frees up its hands, Li Jue can only continue to fight against the Camel Cavalry according to his previous actions. As for other methods, they are not suitable now.
"A country with a reserve of about one million soldiers, should it be said to be an empire? No wonder this kind of war takes a long time." Zhuge Liang looked at the dots of green in the distance and sighed involuntarily. The more he learned, the more he learned.
, the more difficult it becomes, this kind of war is really a confrontation in all aspects.
"I just don't know how irritable Zhongda will be?" Zhuge Liang turned sideways and whispered to himself, and then couldn't help but smile, "Maybe he won't be irritable. Zhongda is too forbearing. He looks like a wolf and an eagle.
It would be boring if it really develops like that.”
Zhuge Liang walked back to the main hall silently. He still had a lot of things to deal with. After all, Congling would not start operating at full power until now. Everything he had done before was essentially to wait for this day.
arrival.
"Sometimes, you really need some vitality." Zhuge Liang whispered to himself as he stepped into the main hall, but he didn't know how Sima Yi would feel after hearing this sentence.
On the Kabul Valley side, Baruch and Nahe led five thousand cavalry with ugly faces. Another Han army appeared on their retreat path. A Han army that didn't know how it appeared here, but fortunately there were only five
Thousands of people.
"Nah, sort out the legion and prepare to rush forward in one go!" Baruch looked at the armor-clad Han troops in front of him and made a decisive judgment. They are just infantry. Even if they have more armor, they don't need it.
If you're afraid, just run over.
"Okay, I wanted to take the lead in the charge before, but was cut off by your flames. This time I will take the lead in the charge!" Nahe said with a majestic look. In his opinion, although the cavalry charging the infantry was quite wasteful, they
What we are pursuing now is speed, so we can accept this waste.
"That's fine." Baruch nodded and said after thinking for a while.
So Baruch and Nahe, who were one mile away, began to adjust the spacing between the legions openly in front of Gao Lan and others. This seemingly silly action could actually put considerable pressure on the infantry on the opposite side.
.
Of course, this refers to regular infantry. Strange things like the super-heavy step. To be honest, if ordinary cavalry collided directly, the one who was in trouble must be the cavalry. One of the innate effects shown by the super-heavy step itself, as it moves
As the speed decreases, the defense increases significantly. When the speed reaches zero, the defense is doubled.
Therefore, Gao Lan stood expressionless and watched the other side turn the formation into a scattered formation, a special cavalry formation used to flush out infantry. It was quite powerful and could be said to do great harm to the fragile side.
A formation.
However, Gao Lan's super-heavy infantry is not a squishy unit at all. Even if the equipment does not look that good, in terms of actual defense, it is already one of the strongest in the world.
On the other hand, when Baruch encountered Gao Lan, the tung oil in the Kushan camp was finally burned out. Xue Shao and Li Tiao didn't say much, but promised to catch up with Kushan within ten minutes, who had run away early.
Legion or something.
That's right, it's only ten minutes. Now that the white horse has basically mastered the switching between speed and dexterity, it can easily run at a terrifying speed of 80 per second without too many turns. According to Chen Gong's view of Kuishang's marching speed,
According to estimates, Kushan ran about 20 kilometers.
If it were other types of soldiers, it would be basically impossible to catch up at 20 kilometers, but if you switch to a white horse, as long as there is only one exit on this road, you can't even think about running.
"We're going up first." Xue Shao saluted Chen Gong with his fists raised, and then rushed toward the still smoking fire with his white horse, and then like the wind, it turned into a small dot in a few breaths.
It soon disappeared into the horizon.
Five minutes later, Xue Shao looked at Li Tiao strangely, what was going on? They were so fast that it took them five minutes to catch up.
Li Tiao also had a puzzled look on his face. The White Horse's fastest moving speed in the world was indeed not just a boast. They dared to let the other side run first because they were sure to catch up.
"Keep chasing, there is only one way anyway!" Xue Shao ordered with a dull head.
On the other side, just when Baruch was adjusting his formation and preparing to attack the infantry on the opposite side, he suddenly heard a continuous roar, and the roar was gradually becoming clearer from the chaos. Yes, the sound of horse hooves, but the sound of horse hooves
The sound was too fast.
However, before Baruch could understand what was going on, Baima Yicong had already jumped out from the horizon, and before Baruch could react, the small dot turned into a knuckle-sized one, and then turned into a
Big rabbit...
"Be on guard!" Baruch screamed miserably. Although he didn't understand what was going on before, his eyes were not blind. A group of cavalry jumped out from the horizon, changing from small dots to small dots in a few breaths.
Big rabbit, what the hell kind of speed is this.
"You actually took us close to a quarter of an hour to catch up!" Li Tiao cursed the moment he saw Baruch and others. He thought you had run into the mountains before, but if you hadn't planned to run for another ten minutes to have a look, you would have really
I didn't expect to run so far.
"This is impossible!" Nah hadn't reacted at this time. Seeing the white horse rushing over, he immediately shouted loudly, "It will take at least an hour to put out the fire!"
"We waited for an hour to catch up, just die!" Li Tiao roared, dispersing the formation on the other side, come on, you don't even need to slow down, just drive past.
