Chapter 2880 The Servant Army
"Is it a strategy to attack the west?" Pang Tong thought, "If it's just like this, the capital you need to invest here is not a small amount, otherwise it will be difficult to attract the other party's attention. Moreover, under that same path, many strategies will become less useful."
"Put into the two military soul legions to strengthen their momentum and see what Kushan will react." Chen Xi said with a sneer, "We have a lot of capital and a clear purpose. We want it in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges!"
"If you do this, will the northern part of Kushan use the strategy of surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao and attack our frontier base in the Pamir Mountains?" Pang Tong still understood Chen Xi's idea. There was nothing to say about this. The Han Dynasty smashed two military soul corps, and it would be strange if Kushan could still use it as a feint. But Pang Tong was worried that Kushan would not fight head-on.
After all, according to the previous description, the Kushan country is not completely parallel. Moreover, according to the previous several wars with large upper and lower limits, the Kushan actually has a very reliable army. It can only be said that the group of people in the south were too poisoned and almost ruined.
According to the arrangement of the Great Yuezhi in the north, Kushan's spirit was not lost. After discovering the actions of the Han Dynasty, it was not impossible to surround Wei and save Zhao. The Kushan area in Khwarezm had troops stationed. Although the entire area of Beigui was called the imperial cemetery in later generations, there was no doubt that there were troops stationed.
Therefore, after the Han army was dispatched, it was actually not difficult for the other party to attack the Pamirs.
"So, Cao Sikong may still need help. Cao Zixiao and the others have been practicing troops for a while. It should be no big problem to help defend the Panling for a while. The opponent should mainly be Fu Ward, who has fought with us several times." Chen Xi looked at Xun Yu and others and asked.
Xun Yu, Xun You and others nodded silently. There was nothing to say about this. They were all fighting for the country. It was natural to help defend the frontier base.
"But if you can, I'd better mobilize some infantry from here to go to the Pamir Mountains. Although the cavalry is mobile and flexible and has a higher combat power, the terrain over there is indeed a bit not suitable." Xun Yu suggested with a calm expression.
"..." Before Chen Xi could speak, Jia Xu showed a thoughtful look. After a while, Jia Xu looked at Xun Yu, "Do you want to cross the Xingdu Kush Mountains?
"The height of five thousand meters is indeed very high, but it is not completely impossible to cross. Perhaps the army cannot get over, and a single elite legion is still not a big problem. Compared with the Kabul River Valley, which only has one road, if the divine weapons descend from the sky and attack from behind, a legion will be fatal enough." Xun You's expression had almost no ups and downs, and he was always cold.
"Well, this plan..." Chen Xi thought for a while, "It's very dangerous, but if you can cooperate well, it's definitely fatal enough."
"When it comes to the issue of the Kabul River Valley, are there any troops stationed in Kushan there?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.
"Well. This river valley passes through a basin, which is one of the few places in Beigui that can live in. That place is Beigui's horse farm and barracks." Jia Xu nodded. After all, there is only one road, so it would be strange if Beigui didn't get a large army there.
"Isn't there a city?" Chen Xi touched his chin and said. He also knew that place. It was a very good location in the imperial cemetery. It was a few places that could farm and live in people.
"There is a city building, but the information I got here is actually a kind of urn city that is almost a fortress, and it is not too big." Jia Xu said with a plain expression.
"Where are you intercepting the upstream?" Cheng Yu went straight to the point without saying a word, comparing ruthless things. Li You was not here today, and I, Cheng Yu, are ready to dominate the whole audience.
"I have studied it before, and it seems that it is not good. The river has very little water. The only time to use water attack is the rainy season. According to the information sent back, during the rainy season, except for more than 30,000 people stationed in the urn city, everyone in that basin will move to the highlands to avoid water attacks." Jia Xu said helplessly.
Speaking of which, when Jia Xu discovered that the Kushan country was in the lower reaches of the Kabul River, Jia Xu thought about water attack. However, after studying it for a few minutes, Jia Xu gave up. It was necessary to get a very close distance to attack the Kushan country. After leaving the Khyber Pass, Kushan completely entered the plain.
When using water attack in such places, even Jia Xu cannot control the direction of the impact of the water flow, and the water flow of the Kabul River itself is very average and is not suitable for using water attack at all.
What's more, the rare basin in the middle of the Kabul River Valley, and the Kushan troops stationed there, were unable to pass the Han army without overturning them to the ground.
"This is really a headache." Cheng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and the tone in his words made Jia Xu already hear some other meanings.
"Is the fire plan?" Jia Xu thought, "This is a good note."
Chen Xi and others had a numb scalp, and then they realized what Cheng Yu meant. The place was a river valley and a mountain basin. To put it bluntly, there must be vegetation, and Cheng Yu meant it was simple and rough. Just burn it all with one fire, and burn it together with the mountains and basins. Anyway, it was not your own.
"It's too cruel." Xun You suddenly spoke.
"The other places are wasteland, and this method cannot work. Since there are river valleys over there, there will definitely be large forests, so let's burn them together." Cheng Yu did not hide his malicious intention at all, set fire to the mountains, and whatever green they wanted, they would turn them into bald mountains.
"This can be done in autumn, but..." Jia Xu nodded and said nothing. Cheng Yu's plan was too ruthless. Did he calm down Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong, Sima Lang and other little white flowers without watching?
"Put this aside first. It is stored as an alternative. It is not so easy to burn if it is burned. I will go to the spotlight." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Cheng Zhongde is cruel and ruthless. I didn't think that Chen Xi now thinks this statement is true.
"Tsk." Cheng Yu sneered twice, leaned on the chair with his arms folded.
"Kongming should have started preparing, and the generals who are still on the battlefield of Anxu have almost withdrawn from the Pamir Mountains. Well, I just don't know what situation will be used for the war between Rome and Anxue to draw a rest. This has been going on for almost a year." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"Have you found the Servant Army? We suffered losses in the wars before, but we had no disadvantages in terms of elite troops, but as the Servant Army, our scale is a bit far apart." Xun Yu suddenly spoke.
When the Han Dynasty fought against foreign countries in recent years, the number of elite troops invested may not be less than that of domestic ones, but every time they fought, they were dizzy. To put it bluntly, it was because of the number of miscellaneous soldiers that every time they suffered losses, they were in this regard.
The opponents are all close to the local area and have large-scale entourages, which can be used to restrain and consume. The Han Dynasty is limited by distance and logistics costs, and in this long-distance combat, it can only invest relatively ordinary troops, so as to significantly reduce the number of miscellaneous soldiers.
This led to the Han Dynasty's repeated amazing results. But if you really want to talk about losses, the Han Dynasty itself was quite heartbroken. After understanding the crazy scale of the War of the Empire, Xun Yu can only secretly find some cannon fodder or something.
After all, the Han Dynasty has discovered its own shortcomings until now. The combat effectiveness is strong, and the scale is limited. To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty now needs to bring its own dry food on a large scale, and it has some combat effectiveness, so it can be used as a soldier in the minion army.
As for the issue of face, although Xun Yu is a gentleman, for Xun Yu, it is at this point. Face is really not as important as comprehensive national strength.
"Oh, I have found more than 80,000 vassals, and I just need to arm myself with standard weapons and equipment. After checking the number, I will ask someone to transport the army over." Chen Xi nodded and said.
After all, this time it was a feint. Although it might be better to fight a lot, the size of the troops would be very important at that time. Only with enough people could they really attract Kushan's attention.
As for how the miscellaneous soldiers and servants disguised themselves as elites, Chen Xi is still very experienced in this regard. Come on, put on armor for me. Although I can't put on plate armor for all miscellaneous soldiers, I can still have one set of scale armor that I retreated in the past two years.
Compared with the other countries except the regular Roman army, the elite troops in other countries can wear armor. The million-dollar army of Kushan is probably only one-third of them who can wear armor. This is because they occupy the Ganges and have enough resources to arm the armour. When it is replaced by the Great Yuezhi, wear your sheepskin and use your horn bow to play.
But then again, maybe the Great Yuezhi at that time could be more capable than most of the regular soldiers in Kushan today.
Therefore, after putting armor on the servants, at least if the other scouts observe remotely, it is impossible to become suspicious. What's more, after putting armor on the servants, they not only clean up some excess inventory, but also win people's hearts and kill two birds with one stone.
"The Servant Army of the Western Regions?" Xun Yu asked with a little curiosity.
"Well, the main thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are divided into sizes, with each country of one thousand to five thousand people, and the two largest countries are 10,000 people." Chen Xi nodded. The Servant Army was indeed recruited in the Western Regions. After all, it is not worth it to dispatch domestically. On the other hand, it is better to train your own people and use your own family as cannon fodder. Let's forget it.
"If I want to say that we have already merged those countries, we should not be like this now." Cheng Yu said with a sneer. He had long been disgusted with the capricious behavior of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
