Sethi Kapil, Barak, Zasali, Sahel, Falgun, and Gumara could be regarded as first-rate generals and staff officers even if they were placed in Rome and the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when they transferred the army to He After Rat, this group of people had the idea of ????retreating. Originally, they thought it would be quite convenient to transport grain and grass down the river. However, the devastating terrain of Beigui made this group of people realize that hearing a hundred times is worth seeing once. Although food and grass can still be delivered, the consumption is so high that this group of people is quite complaining. In addition, Herat is not a place where people can wait for work like Kandahar and Kabul. If the Han army cannot win once it is forced to take action, It will be quite uncomfortable. Here, the Han Dynasty could station themselves in the irrigation area that had been abandoned before and accumulate strength. Although there are dangers in the mountains and rivers in Kushan, the length of the logistics line means that it is impossible for this group of people to maintain a sufficient scale in Herat. of military strength. Although the 80,000 elite soldiers rely on the Hindu Kush Mountains for defense, the ordinary 100,000 imperial elites will also be attacked, but that is the ordinary imperial elites. Judging from the performance of the Han army for such a period of time, It's not at all normal. Bei Gui is not a discerning person. They know what level of power they have now. They have had conflicts with the families in the east of Anxi. It is okay for 80,000 elites to block the buried Anxi, but if they are to block monsters like the Han army, it is almost impossible. Too far too far. To defend the Kabul Valley without any trouble, this group of people judged that it would take an army of 200,000, with military souls on their side, and the Imperial Guards standing firm. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers, it would be difficult for the Han Dynasty to advance. , this scale is also a very large military force for Beigui. "We can't continue to waste time in Herat. We are at a disadvantage in setting up defenses here. We should retreat to Kandahar, look west to the desert, stick to the plateau oasis, and rely on the Suleiman Mountains for defense." Sisi Kapil calmly told everyone The general said. "We agree with this, but we haven't accomplished anything yet, and we haven't even encountered the enemy yet. We will retreat as soon as we come. I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to accept it." Barak sighed and said. In fact, Beigui did not conduct careful research along this passage, so that the originally prepared plan was confirmed after an on-site inspection of Kabul and Kandahar, so he led his troops to Hera. Special, ended up being tricked to death. "I am inclined to Kapil's suggestion. We actually don't need to fight the Han Dynasty. Blocking the Kabul Valley and preventing the Han army from advancing eastward is our victory. There is no need to dwell on these details." Kumara glanced at Ba Lark said, "Victory on the battlefield is not what we want." "I was careless last time at the Khyber Pass, and the soldiers under my command suffered a very unfair defeat." Falgon of the royal archers did not say anything about Herat. On the contrary, it refers to the previous encounter in the Khyber Pass, and at this time, everyone understands this kind of words. "Morale is also very important." Sahel, the commander of the royal spear and shield corps, said coldly, "Withdrawing like this will be very detrimental to our morale." "Retreating to Kandahar, we will be in a stronger state to fight against the Han Dynasty. In this current situation, to be honest, even with the imperial scepter on my back, I don¡¯t think I can defeat that thing last time." Abhinan glanced at Sahel and said, the relationship between the two of them is relatively good, so they are arguing. When you disagree, you can speak out. "But if we retreat from here, we will give up a key point. Counting the Khyber Pass, there are actually only four battlefields on this road. If we directly abandon Herat, we will lose a quarter of it. Advantage," Zasali said, looking at Sethi Kapil. In this wave of camels, Zasali has replaced a group of camel riders from Fulward. Compared with the previous wave of camel riders who were only ordinary, half of this wave are Fulward's imperial guards. After all, The desert on the west side of Kandahar is also a very suitable battlefield for camel riding. "You can't do anything here." Unanda, the newly appointed commander of the royal family's uniformed cavalry, suddenly said. Among the people present, Unanda is the youngest and the strongest, but if you really want to say , Unanda was not suitable to command the royal cavalry, but the current situation was such that Vesuthiva I could only be the taller among the dwarfs. The person who led the royal armored cavalry in the previous wave died in the hands of Sima Zhang. The royal armored cavalry under his command had three talents that were truly played on the battlefield, but Sima Zhang left it to Guishang. Some seeds failed to germinate, and others were all dried up. Although Sima Zhang wanted to keep this for his family at first, he thought that if he kept it in his own hands, he might not be able to keep it until that time. If Vesuthiva I made a comeback, he would ask for it directly from himself and rely on the royal family in reserve. It would be a real trouble if the equipment rider recovered a three-talent thing. ? ?At this point, Sima Zhang had no choice but to kill, pretending to spread the decree to disperse the royal armored cavalry led by Gai Men, and ruthlessly killed most of them in the chaotic battle that night. There was no other way, even if they were scattered. The three talents in Kailai are not so easy to kill. ????????? If Gaimen¡¯s royal armored cavalry hadn¡¯t had a big melee with Guan Yu¡¯s school swordsmen before, and both sides suffered heavy losses, Sima Zhang¡¯s routine really couldn¡¯t kill Gaimen¡¯s royal armored cavalry. In the end, there were probably two to three hundred royal knights who escorted Vesutiva I out. However, as the boss, Gai Men was defeated by Sima Zhang. The remaining two to three hundred royal knights and three talented knights were neither The military soul is not the kind of thing that has followed Arvind for more than ten years in Arvind's headquarters. Without the boss, it has no ability to self-replicate. So in the end, even though Vesuthiva I made a comeback, the result was that there were only two to three hundred more middle- and low-level officers, and the three-talented royal equipment and cavalry were reorganized? Dreaming! Naturally, the royal armored cavalry led by Unanda now are the reserve soldiers left behind by Gai Men. Although they are supplemented by the two or three hundred seniors and have undergone very detailed running and training, let alone the three talents. The Imperial Guards barely managed to reach it. This is because there has been a year of running-in and rest. If not for this, it would only be at the level of two talents from the beginning. As for the three talents, Unanda has no hope. Unless Gaimen is resurrected, otherwise There is absolutely no hope. Barak raised his head and glanced at Unanda. Unanda was the least qualified among the entire camp. However, he was also the commander of the Imperial Guards selected by Vesutiva I. He still had to give him a little face. At least this way, you are good. I'm fine, everyone is fine. "Why?" Barak gave Unanda an encouraging look and motioned for Unanda to continue. After all, after Barak came to Herat to confirm the situation, he also wanted to go back, but he was not sure who was under his control. the thoughts of this group of people. "The Battle of Khyber has shown a big problem. There is a considerable gap between our army and the Han army in terms of elite soldiers. It is as strong as the Han army's military spirit. It can even face the five armies fully supported by the imperial scepter. The Imperial Guard, that is to say, the total of us can probably defeat that opponent." Unanda did not lie, and directly mentioned the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In the Khyber War, there were two legions that gave Kushan a big headache. One was a super-heavy step, which was extremely difficult to kill. More importantly, it was difficult to kill. Flames rose from the opponent's body, and he got up, and then the combat power It actually increased, how can we fight this? The other is the Divine Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong, which does not have the special effect of the Super Heavy Step. However, a legion picked five imperial guards blessed by the imperial scepter. Although the fight was embarrassing enough, it was one versus five. , the fight was still five legions with three talents. It can be said that the combat power displayed by the Divine Iron Cavalry is almost the strongest level that the Kushan elite has ever seen. It is tragic, but it can really control the situation. Although after suffering a blow, Guishuang has more defenses. If it faces the Divine Iron Cavalry again this time, the opponent will not be able to display such terrifying combat power, but as long as such a legion is present, it must be Take that into consideration. "What is our advantage in fighting the Han Dynasty?" Unanda suddenly asked Kapil. Kapil's mouth curled up when he heard this. He already understood what Unanda meant. The Kushan soldiers in Herat were not as strong as the Han army, and their elite level was not as good as the Han army. The Kushan soldiers were proud of them. Although the guards and military souls are all here, it is simply a dream to overwhelm the elite of the Han army. There is only one thing that can be relied on, and that is the danger of mountains and rivers! However, is the danger of such mountains and rivers worth all the treasures they Guishang put on it? It's totally not worth it. Their current legion is already a valuable asset to Kushan, but without taking into account the dangers of the mountains and rivers, there is even a possibility of total annihilation in a gamble with the Han Dynasty. Although the military spirit combined with the imperial guards and tens of thousands of regular soldiers are very strong, it depends on who they are compared with. Unanda is not optimistic about the completely illegal existence of the Han Dynasty. "Retreat to Kandahar, abandon Herat, arrange fire starters here, and go to the right place to give full play to our advantages." Barak said one step ahead of Kapil. The logistical pressure of gathering 200,000 troops in Kandahar is almost the same as that of gathering 100,000 troops in Herat. However, compared to the situation in Herat, Kandahar can make better use of their Kushan forces. Advantage. "What we pursue is victory, not face." Seth Kapil raised the corner of his mouth and gave the final explanation. Others had more to say, but as the commander-in-chief, Barak and the general staff-general Kapil both made Having made such a decision, they had no choice but to comply. In February of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Cao Cao captured Herat without a fight, blocking Beigui¡¯s travel route from the Kabul Valley and eliminatingThe Han Dynasty's reclamation of wasteland in southern Parthia was a potential safety hazard.
