But having said that, considering the climate of the Indus-Ganges basin, this is not a fatal problem. After all, the tropical monsoon climate allows sowing all year round, and harvesting can be done in more than three months.
.
Therefore, a short-term lack of food among the people does not seem to be a fatal problem. But in a place like the Central Plains where crops are grown twice a year, it would be really fatal.
That's right, it's the people. When Zhang Liao was wreaking havoc on farming in the elite areas of Kushan, both Vesutiva I and Zhu Helai chose to abandon the ordinary people in Nangui and instead ensure the supply of food and grass for the army.
After all, both of them know very well how to maintain the rule of this country in the current situation. It doesn't matter if ordinary people in Nangui can't have food to eat. They have always been livestock anyway, so starving doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Besides, it won't be long before the new grain comes out, and there won't be too much trouble. The main thing to do now is to guard against the Han army to prevent the white horse rebels from sweeping across the Indus and Ganges rivers.
The incident happened again.
It is said that if the destructive power of the White Horse Yi Cong was not too outrageous, and the miraculous results were achieved by harassing the rear, maybe the Kushan Army near Brahma Si would be even larger. After all, there is no White Horse Yi Cong that can control Kushan grain and grass.
Attrition, Vesudeva I was not the first to realize the problem of food pressure.
Yes, as the Emperor of Kushan, for the first time in so many years, he realized how uncomfortable the problem of food and grass was. In the past, there was never a shortage of food and grass. The only question was whether the Brahmins were willing to provide it. But this time it actually came up.
solved the problem of insufficient food and grass.
"Brahe, how is the situation?" Helilahe walked into the camp and said seriously while looking at Brahe who was studying the map and his opponents.
"It's you who came down for inspection." Brahe looked at Helilach with a smile on his face and said, "I heard before that His Majesty sent people to come down to boost morale. I didn't expect that it was you who came down in person. The glory of the world.
How have you mastered it so far?”
"Thanks to the teachings of the scribe, I can now use part of my strength by visualizing the integration of gods." Helilach looked at Brahe and said. Compared with a few years ago, Brahe served as the commander of the quelling the chaos.
Over time, both of them have matured a lot.
"How is the situation here?" Helilach looked at his friend and asked.
"The opponent is Zhang Ren, an old acquaintance. He was a big enemy back then. Now he can deal with him with ease." Brahe said with a smile. He and Yan Yan had a fight. Later, the main opponent was Zhang Ren.
After being defeated, he was taken down. Later, with the ups and downs of Vesudeva I, he once again took the position of commanding the legion, much stronger than before.
"It's not that simple." Helilach said with a smile, "You were still studying the map when you came in. The Han Dynasty is indeed very powerful, but the city of Brahmas cannot fall."
"He is still so powerful. It is difficult to deal with him head-on after the blessing of destiny, but victory will come after a delay." Brahe said calmly, having fought against Zhang Ren many times, both sides have figured out everything they need to know.
.
"That's good, I just came to see how the defense line is here. The secretary means that we will start in the near future. We must break through the Brahmas in one go and bring Rahul, Niranjan, Durga, Oswin, and Deepak
, rescue these people from Saqqara." Helilach sighed and said.
The biggest problem in Kushan now is that a large number of elite backbones are trapped in the city of Brahasi. Relying on the city that has been reinforced for many years, the place can still be defended, but if it continues to drag on, once Brahsh falls, those backbones of the army will be gone.
, Kushan is really in trouble.
Each of these people either has a mental image or is the main army commander. Their abilities are worthy of excellence. They can be said to be the backbone of the Kushan Army. But the trouble for Kushan now is that they cannot assemble a second team. They have soldiers.
, but will have dispersed.
The pit that Nan Gui dug for Bei Gui back then has finally shown its power. It is clear that the war twenty years ago produced a group of backbones, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty. Basically, all the current backbones of Liu Bei's peers are
They were killed during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the rebellion against Dong, and the backbone of the Guishan Civil War were killed one by one by Nan Gui.
So much so that Kuishang now has obvious shortcomings in generals.
"It's not easy to fight. The Han army's fighting power is too strong and their equipment is too good. It's impossible for us to penetrate the opponent's blocking line called shield guards at the moment." Brahe said unceremoniously.
The goal of Vesudeva I was very clear, to open up the road from Balayaga to Brahshas, and then reconstruct the entire border defense line with Brahsh as the core.
As for taking back the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges west of Brahmas City, to be honest, Vesudeva I never thought about it. The combat effectiveness displayed by the Han army made Vesudeva I want to cut off the flesh to stop losses. Besides, the main thing is to cut off
Brahmin's flesh does not hurt.
As early as when they came here at the beginning, the Kushan side used the secret technique of city defense structure to catch the Han army off guard. They looked like they were going to take advantage of your surprise today and hit the city of Brahmas in one go. And from Rome
The mercenaries are also super powerful. Macrinus, who was born in black Africa, just got into Zhang Fei's head, and he violently gave Kushan a chance to break through.
However, at that time, with all his strength and the backbone of the main force assembled, Vesutiva I of the royal guard failed to break through the defense line of 50,000 shield guards. He was dragged by ten shield guard regiments in Shilulin for two days and two nights. Finally, he had no choice but to give up dozens of miles away.
Brahmas.
Unlike other legions that either have such a shortcoming or a shortcoming that can be solved by opportunistic methods, there is no way to use opportunistic methods to eliminate legions like the Shield Guards, except that it is a headache to spend money.
Coupled with the huge number, Vesudeva I was almost cut off by Guan Yu and his men because he delayed for too long.
But having said that, that time was actually a good opportunity for the Han army. Unfortunately, everyone including Li You underestimated the strong defensive capabilities of the Shield Guards after they were grouped together.
Perhaps when the number is relatively small, ordinary shield guards are not a very powerful unit, but when the scale is large enough and they can cover each other, the defensive capabilities can be said to have increased sharply.
It's a pity that at that time, no one had fought a defensive battle with tens of thousands of shield guards, so they really didn't know that the shield guards could hold back Vesudeva I who was well prepared, so they couldn't wait for a while longer to let Vesudeva I.
I'll take a chance only after I get lucky.
"The problem of the shield guards has been solved." Helilach said with a smile, "After all, compared with other legions, the shield guards are the biggest obstacle on our road to Brahmas."
White Horse, Red Blood Cavalry, Youyun Cavalry, Shesheng, Tiger Guards, Chen Dao Guards, Zhang Ren Guards, they all have ways to deal with these.
After all, no matter how you say it, Kushan is still an empire, and it still has some foundation. What's more, the scale of these legions is not very large, and their capabilities are also very distinct. If you use the method of exploring and targeting items one by one when Rome fights Parthia, as long as the foundation is
It can be solved naturally.
But the shield guard is just a bucket, with no shortcomings, it is very large, and the defense is unexpectedly tough. To defeat it, you can only rely on strength. And Guan Yu was very ruthless and placed the shield guard in Shi Lulin. Who would have thought
When fighting Brahmas, it is inevitable to go there.
As for going down the Ganges River, there is no hope now. Relying on the excellent bridge-building technology of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu built a bridge across the Ganges River across the north and south without requiring aesthetics.
It was extremely wide, and an entire legion was stationed on it, and many permanent super-heavy crossbows were installed.
In short, it is acceptable to not be able to win a naval battle. It is just a river and I can block it.
In this way, it is okay to deliver food and grass from the upper reaches of the Ganges River to Balayaga. You can continue to go forward and go down the river to the Brahshas city. The first thing you have to face is that everything has been done.
The prepared Han army, and the combat effectiveness of the navy and permanent fortifications were basically equal to seeking death.
As for the originally feasible route around the Deqian Plateau and breaking through the Han army's blockade from the mountainous area, there was basically no need to dream about it. Li You personally fed the Dalits a mouthful of golden squid. The territory of the Chola Dynasty was now all occupied by Dalits.
Although the governance ability of this group of people is basically equivalent to none, they have made a mess of the Chola Dynasty, and they are also quite embarrassed. If Kuishang wants to take advantage of this, then don't dream about it.
Therefore, now there is no way around Kushan. If you want to open up the passage to Brahmas, you basically have no choice but to go through Shilulin. And here there is a line of defense full of shield guards. We are the target. If you have the guts, come here.
.
Kuishang doesn't want to fight at all. It seems that the shield guard can only fight head-on, and the scale is too large, so it is impossible to win in a head-to-head fight.
Therefore, even if it relies on the superiority of troops to involve the Han army's forces across the board and create a local advantage, Guishang does not have much confidence in breaking through Shi Lulin.
"Is it solved?" Brahe glanced at the other party and asked, does this legion have a solution? Even he knew how big of a problem specializing elite talents to target shield guards would cause, but he didn't believe it.
When Zhu He came, Dilip and the others couldn't see it.
Helilach shook his head and did not answer the question.
"Let's talk about those mercenaries." Helilach changed the subject. It was up to them to decide whether to solve the problem or not. After all, we couldn't delay it any longer.
"Some of the Roman mercenaries were too strong." Brahe gave a direct answer.
The black man named Macrinus who was carrying Zhang Fei was a god in Brahe's eyes. Not to mention his military power, he was also very strong in commanding troops. And such a character was actually used by Rome.
The identity of the black gladiator was dismissed.
