Kapil was almost furious at this moment, but when he saw that Baras and Danyang suffered hundreds of losses against Biao Jian Yu, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured down on him, and he calmed down a lot.
You can't fight hard. Beigui's top legions are not batch after batch like the Han army. The top elites like Balas, who can really destroy the opponent, will be exhausted against the Danyang soldiers, even if they can occupy a certain advantage.
, in Kapil’s view, it’s not worth it either.
After the arrow rain above his head stopped, Lu Meng turned over and glanced at Kapil, who was vaguely visible on the cliff. He made a gesture of wiping his neck with his still intact right hand, and then quickly retreated eastward along the mountain road with a wild laugh.
Falgon's arrows were still raining down, but the unobstructed Han army in front was almost trapped in the sky, and it was basically impossible to stop it.
With the last counterattack of the Han army at the corner of the mountain road, they successfully repelled the pursuing Beigui soldiers, and the Han army successfully opened the distance between the two sides.
Kapil and others fell into silence. Obviously this was the victory they had longed for. In terms of battle losses, they could be said to be the first time Beigui had clearly defeated the Han army. However, in the face of the current situation,
At this scene, the senior generals and the others were speechless.
"We made all preparations, and the other party also stepped into the ambush, but they actually ran away in the end." Kapil said with a little annoyance after coming down from the cliff.
Zasali leaned on his spear and was speechless, while Unanda, who had calmed down, was also silent.
"Actually, this time, part of the reason is that we misjudged the combat effectiveness of the Han army. The three legions from the other side are much stronger than we expected." Abhitan sighed and said, although Unanda was lying in front of them,
It is indeed a big problem for them to be unable to exert their due combat effectiveness, but the combat effectiveness of the three Han Dynasty legions far exceeds the estimate, which is indeed another big problem.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Should we pursue the Han army, or attack according to the plan?" Falgon looked at Kapil and said, the losses of their several legions were not large, the total was less than 2,000 people, and there were only 1,000 regular soldiers.
The loss of the Han army was close to two thousand, and the Han army's loss was probably upwards of six thousand.
In other words, Beigui achieved twice the record when facing the Han army for the first time.
"Clean the battlefield and attack as planned." Kapil took a deep breath, suppressing the anger caused by the Han army breaking out of the ambush circle, and then changed his previous anger when facing several senior generals, and walked around the entire mountain road with joy
He said loudly, "Just now we defeated the Han army that we once looked up to, and the battle damage was far less than that of the opponent. Even if the opponent broke out of the ambush circle, it proved that the opponent was not invincible. Next, we will organize the army.
Pier will lead you to strive for greater victory!"
Ordinary soldiers were unaware of Kapil's plan. In their eyes, they had just successfully defeated the once arrogant Han elite. This was military spirit and morale.
"In this battle, everyone will be credited with first-class merit and a first-class knighthood. Let's go to war now. Victory is in front of us." Kapil shouted loudly, and all the soldiers participating in the battle cheered loudly. They did not fight for the country.
They have the consciousness to fight, but they know what will happen if they win. The military service system of the pre-Qin and early Han Dynasties is so simple and crude. If you win in battle, you will be rewarded!
"Clean the battlefield and organize the troops to attack!" Kapil ordered loudly after feeling the high morale of the soldiers due to defeating the elites of the Han Dynasty.
"Aren't you worried that Lü Meng and the others will kill someone with a carbine?" Barras asked in a low voice. Lü Meng had not gone completely far, at least from this distance, the other party would definitely be able to hear it.
"They will move eastward. They don't have much food and grass left. Although this battle did not completely wipe out them, it also caused problems with their food and grass logistics. There are not many directions they can choose. If they turn back and fight us again, they have already been exposed.
If they lose their strength, they will definitely die, and now they should go to Kandahar." Kapil sighed and said.
"Can Kandahar be defended?" Baras frowned and said, "The city over there is still under construction, and it is quite empty now."
"It's not a big problem. They are now defeated. It's not easy to take Kandahar. What's more, what can they do if Kandahar is given to them? As long as we win, nothing will be a problem." Kapil said with great confidence.
"That's it." Barras thought for a while and nodded. Indeed, Kandahar really doesn't matter. It is just a station. Originally, he wanted to build a city, but after struggling for a long time, it is still a half-finished project.
.
Who knows that Kandahar is a plateau oasis, and Beigui cannot use local materials on a large scale. If the ecology of the oasis is destroyed, they will really be in trouble, and transporting building materials from other places will be much slower, so it will
Now, only an inner city has been built in Kandahar, and the walls of the outer city have not been built.
As for grain and grass, there is some in Kandahar, but it is just a transfer point. In the upper reaches of the Helmand River, when you go down the river from Kabul to Kandahar, the nearest river is only about three kilometers away from the inner city of Kandahar.
Therefore, Kandahar was used more for transshipment, and Kapil arranged the grain and grass at the granary location of the previously prepared ambush plan, as well as the underground granary on the west side of another tributary of the Helmand River, in order not to be robbed by the Han army.
The granary.
"The Kandahar side is not that important now. Even if it is gone, it doesn't matter, not to mention that the Han Dynasty may not be able to win it." Kapil said flatly, and then looked to the west again, where there were Han troops, and then
Looking over there, Barak's battlefield should be over there.
"Let's go, we must not make any mistakes next." Kapil looked at Baras and said. He was already mentally prepared. Even if the royal archers fighting Baras suffered heavy losses, he would also
To complete the previous plan.
After Kapil and others cleaned up the battlefield, they quickly rushed along the mountain road in the opposite direction to the retreat of Lu Meng and others. Both sides looked like they were going to raid each other's hometown.
"Phew, it's time to stop. Count the men and supplies, and treat the soldiers. Wen Chang, you lead the soldiers on patrol." Lu Meng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said. His left arm had lost consciousness. He had done the same thing as Zasali before.
The attack was indeed very courageous, and he was injured more seriously than Zasali.
Wei Yan looked at Lu Meng who was covered in blood and didn't say anything unnecessary. He immediately organized people to start patrolling. Among the three, Wei Yan suffered the least loss. Gao Lan's talent was particularly easy to use. Even if there was no way to analyze it thoroughly, he could just follow the example.
It also has pretty good results.
But even so, Wei Yan still lost more than a thousand people, but the remaining people were almost not even injured. After all, Gao Lan's talent was either dead or not.
"Old man, come on, let's have a good talk." Wei Yan arranged the manpower to arrange the defense line, and at the same time prepared the troops for reconnaissance. Even the war eagles were sent out for reconnaissance. After doing this, Wei Yan walked to Bai Rao and said
I need to have a good talk with Bai Rao.
"Well, I'm just an ordinary centurion." Bai Yao waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to talk about. I can retire at the age of fifty-five after practicing Qi Gang. I will retire after less than ten years of service."
Bai Rao didn't want to talk about the dark history of his past. He finally cleared his name and landed ashore. No one knew that he was a Yellow Turban Qushuai in the past. Even his wife and son thought he was an honest farmer who farmed the fields. Now he wants to be a twelfth-level farmer.
With the title of nobility, he went back to serve as the militia captain of his own village.
"Can an ordinary centurion easily command a legion to perform such operations? I heard you say before that you escaped from General Huangfu." Wei Yan squatted next to Bai Rao, trying to find a way to communicate with Bai Rao. A man who can command
The guy who does this kind of thing in the legion is a centurion?
"No, there is something wrong with your ears." Bai Rao collapsed and leaned against the mountain wall with an expression like "I am already a disabled person." Wei Yan was quite helpless.
"If you have any complaints, we can help you solve it. With your ability, being a centurion is a waste for us." Wei Yan said helplessly. He felt that the other party must have been wronged in some way, and it was against the Han Dynasty.
I don’t really trust it, but this can all be solved.
"I don't have any complaints. I just want to serve as a centurion with a clear conscience, accumulate meritorious service, retire, receive the retirement allowance of the twelfth-level title, and go back to my hometown to serve as a militia captain." Bai Rao said about his great ideal in his heart, "This way
On the one hand, I can keep an eye on my son, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for handling family affairs."
Wei Yan was speechless. He was now thinking about how to deal with such a character. The twelfth-level title was difficult for most soldiers, and it was also quite difficult for ordinary people to practice Qi and become a gang. But for this person
For a character who can command an army to fight, only one or two games are enough. As long as he wins the battle, it will be over soon.
"Actually, you don't need to keep an eye on me. I just want to clear my name and completely separate my identity. You may not think it matters, but it is very important to me. I don't want my past to affect my wife and children."
Bai Rao sighed and said, "I can get promoted on my own based on my military merit. No special promotion is needed."
In fact, a legion commander who can command 30,000 people is considered an upper-middle-class general even on the imperial battlefield. There are very few such generals among the Yellow Turbans. Of course, being rare does not mean that there are none, like Bo Cai.
Zhu Jun also fought against some wild generals.
Among the Yellow Turbans who are still alive, there are only two or three who have fought against Huangfu Song and are still alive, and there are still seven or eight who can lead a single legion.
As long as these people report their status and are willing to fight for the country, Liu Bei can train and educate them for a period of time, give them a background as deputy of the legion of the regular army, and then accumulate military merits to become legion commanders, because the current legion commanders of the Han Dynasty are not enough, mainly
