Chapter 2349 Defensive Counterattack
After Li Hui submitted the letter of state, he actually realized that he had done something too much. The other party's unusual performance was also a test of him, but this was no longer important. It is enough to know who the other party is and what kind of war model he is good at.
It’s nothing more than that, the other party has guessed something, but what can it do? The Han Dynasty simply disdains to hide its intentions. If we want a fertile field for thousands of miles, we will get it!
We also want to fight Kushan, so no one can stop him.
As for whether the process of doing these things will trigger a large-scale war, the Han Dynasty has long been mentally prepared. Whether it comes to reinforcements or not, it is an unstoppable process for you to fulfill your promise.
If you don’t want to cash out, then we can cash out ourselves. However, whether you can bear our way is not the key point we are concerned about.
[Somewhat careless.] Li Hui was riding a pony and thought that when he took the initiative to test others, he could easily ignore another possibility, that is, the other party was also testing himself.
On the way back, Li Hui rode a horse and met Meng Huo's scouts. The barbarians were painted black in groups of three or three, and their hair was covered with unknown birds and leaves that could not be seen at all. The weapons they used were also poisonous blowing arrows. If Li Hui had not been wearing a Confucian robe, maybe these people would have taken action directly.
"General Meng, are you going to march?" Li Hui was guarded by a group of scouts and asked in confusion, "Is time already so urgent?"
"Well, we don't have much time. General Zhang ordered me to be the pioneer, and to bypass the Kushan main business first, go west of Wenjia, attract the other party's attention and force the other party to deal with it." Meng Huo said with a smile, and got a vanguard position, Meng Huo was very satisfied.
"Divid the troops? If there is only one legion, our army will not be superior to the other side. And once the other side invests too much force, General Meng will be in certain danger." Li Hui is also a person who knows the soldiers and instantly understands the disadvantages of this move.
"There are also General Meng Da and General Meng and Wu Tugu to help me." Meng Huo said with a smile. Although it was dangerous, he would not be worried at all if he was prepared. What's more, the Kushan troops were also limited. How could Zhang Ren not be prepared if he dared to do this?
"Doesn't you hide the truth?" Li Hui frowned, "It's very dangerous to do this. Kushan will defend itself according to the camp. It's not so easy for our army to take it down, let alone Kushan has changed its commander."
"Change the coach?" Meng Huo was stunned and then smiled, "These things have nothing to do with me. I just use them as bait to involve some of the energy of the other party, and create the opportunity for General Zhang to break through the other party's camp. This is how military affairs are, and execution is the case!"
"It seems that it was the planner of Mr. Zhang or Mr. Wang. General, let's go forward, I will report. Please be careful, the other party is probably planning." Li Hui looked at Meng Huo sincerely and said.
"Don't worry, when Dasheng returns, I'll invite you to drink." Meng Huo said with a smile. He really didn't take this matter to heart. He could trust Zhang Ren's ability and others.
"Okay, then let's go back to the rear first." Li Hui nodded and drove the pony away quickly.
After Li Hui left, Meng Huo thought carefully and decided to continue to march according to the previous plan. He recognized the wisdom of Zhang Su, Wang Lei and others, or the abilities of Zhang Ren. What's more, the military order has been issued and the execution is. As for the danger, if it is raising troops for a thousand days, what will you do if it is not dangerous?
During the process of Li Hui retreating, he also met Meng Da and Wutugu who supported him. After seeing Wutugu's Vine Armor Army, Li Hui felt much more at ease and guessed Zhang Ren's plan, but it was hard to say about war!
When Li Hui continued to spend time rushing back, he encountered Zhang Ren's investigation on the road. At this time, he had completely guessed Zhang Ren's plan.
Just like the Kushan had already touched the advantages and disadvantages of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also saw the strengths of the Kushan. The opponent's soldiers were relatively stronger than the Han Dynasty in terms of small-scale cooperation and individual soldiers. Well, at least they were stronger than the Yizhou soldiers.
In other words, if Yizhou wants to attack Kushan, the best choice is to concentrate superior forces, clench into a fist, force the opponent to fight to the decisive battle, and then beat the opponent to death with one punch.
Similarly, if the Kushan side wants to fight the Han Dynasty, the best choice is to disperse the Han Dynasty's troops, expand the scale of the battlefield, and turn the decisive battle into repeated battles, erode the power of the Han Dynasty, until after gaining the advantage, he will achieve his contribution in one battle.
In this regard, Zhang Ren, a general who is not known for his military power, will naturally pay attention to this. He also believes that Kushan, who lost a game before, will definitely put in a lot of effort to study the situation in the Han Dynasty.
With the huge number of civil servants and military officials stationed west of Wenjia, Kushan would definitely notice this. Therefore, with the current situation, Kushan would never choose to fight a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty directly.
Everyone is not stupid, they are all carrying the country's foreign generals. Every move will affect the life and death of the soldiers, and may even affect the future direction of the country's situation.
Then when their strength is not enough, Kushan has few choices to make. It is best to stick to it, especially when their reinforcements are about to arrive. Staying in the camp and waiting for reinforcements to arrive seems to be the best choice.
Even the pure choice of Kushan to stand firm and wait for assistance was an extremely bad situation for the Han Dynasty. After all, Kushan did not do anything this year, and the battalion defense was also being built. With the ability shown by Brah at that time, Kushan, who relied entirely on battalion defense to let go, was not so easy to win the Kushan with Zhang Ren's current military power alone.
What's more, if Zhang Ren could do something like attacking a camp, he would not usually do it, after all, that urgent situation has not yet arrived.
In addition, it has not been tested, and it is still a matter of whether it can be captured. In this case, the Han Dynasty actually needs to do more than find a way to drag the Kushan army out of the camp and then fight to the decisive battle. No matter how bad it is, it must be sure to attack before attacking.
Naturally, some calculations are involved, that is, how to make Kushan move out of the built camp, and how to ensure that the bait of the Han army is not swallowed by the Kushan.
This involves the allocation of troops from both sides, the thoughts of the general, and the current situation. There are many gambling things involved, but there are several points that cannot be bypassed.
That is, Kushan's judgment on its own advantages, the division of troops from the Han Dynasty, and crossed the Kushan camp to enter the Kushan land. Even if the places such as Baicheng and Mingshan are all new lands, the Kushan side will conduct a more in-depth analysis based on this.
The war took place on the territory of other countries and on their own territory, which was completely different. After the Han Dynasty forced troops to cross the Kushan camp, and then after the Kushan failed to respond accurately, he pushed the spear in front of the Kushan camp.
In this case, Kushan would not have many choices, either turn a blind eye to the Han army that forcibly crossed its own camp and confronted the Han army indifferently.
Or they confront the Han Dynasty head-on, and divided their troops behind them to chase and kill the Han army vanguard who had crossed them into the Kushan land.
The former wins in a stable way, but under normal war mode, it is very likely that the food and waterways of the Han army that crossed the camp will be cut off by the Han army, and then they are forced to fall into a state of front and back attack.
Of course, the Kushan, which has been clearly defined, does not have the possibility of a waterway being cut off. After all, the Han Dynasty did not waste so much time. The reinforcements in southern Kushan could arrive in ten days at a fast speed and twenty days at a slow speed. The Han army that passed the Kushan camp did not spend so much time on the food and water being cut off.
In other words, in theory, the main Kushan camp can completely ignore the troops that the Han Dynasty crossed the Kushan camp, but this is just theoretically. Sometimes war is just a slap in the face of theory.
Morale, fighting spirit, and fighting spirit sound empty, but it actually controls the situation of the battle.
It can be said that the Han Dynasty soldiers who crossed the Kushan camp did not care about it, but just stood firmly and waited for assistance. The next day, the Han Dynasty started the war. As long as it tried its best from the beginning, it risked the risk of being unable to succeed and reached a balance of power in a short time, and then passed the army in the Kushan camp and stabbed in from behind. The battle was stable.
There are not too many wars in ancient Chinese history, from Spring and Autumn, Warring States Period, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, to defeat the war of liberation, too many people who use this kind of tactic to defeat their opponents.
The other side let go of their hands and feet to fight with all their might, and those who are determined to wait for reinforcements must be prepared for reinforcements that may appear at any time. In this case, as long as the gap between the two sides is not big, the latter will be defeated. Zhang Su and Wang Lei bet that Kushan will put the chance of victory on the army that besieged Meng Huo because of their knowledge of the troops.
Because compared to sending a small army to restrain the Han Dynasty that crossed the camp, most of them rely on the camp to fight against the Han Dynasty's main lineup, and finally dragged the reinforcements to arrive, it would be better to change the way of having almost the same success rate, but after the victory, it is better to win more.
That is, he directly pressed the victory opportunity to pursue the Han army detachment, and equipped it with troops that could definitely defeat the Han army behind him, and the general guarded the camp.
As long as the camp can be defended, the Kushans can at least kill a Han army and completely crush the Han army's strategy. They may even be lucky or designed well. They can even kill the Han army's main formation by catching the balance of power.
Faced with a situation with almost the same success rate, after the Han Dynasty had already played chess first, as the commander of an empire, whether it was Brah who had stepped down or Rahman who was now in the camp, he would definitely choose the latter.
