Chapter 1238 The Beginning of the War of Annihilation
"What are you doing?" Zhang Liao asked Lu Bu with some surprise.
Ever since they arrived at Beigui Mountain Pass, Lu Bu has been living in seclusion and rarely attends meetings. If it were not for a military meeting that he had to attend today, Lu Bu would not have shown up at all.
"I'm recovering." Lu Bu said casually, "I've rested for too long. If I don't want to die on the battlefield, I must recover my condition!"
"In the past few years, the situation has not been good. I asked Guan Yu before, and he said that the legion's talent is actually a tendency for the soldiers to identify with it, so I understand a little bit about what happened back then."
"The latest attempts have yielded very good results. The rest is probably just a matter of time and effort!"
Zhang Liao was confused, but he didn't ask much. God knows what Lu Bu was doing. As an ordinary weakling, Zhang Liao had no desire to understand Lu Bu's strength. Anyway, Lu Bu was always under siege and had extremely strong strength.
Since Lu Bu said he wanted to recover, let Lu Bu recover. Zhang Liao also knew that every time Lu Bu went to the battlefield, many people would stare at him and attack him. Although this could show Lu Bu's ability, the pressure Lu Bu faced would not be too small.
Especially on the current battlefield, Lu Bu's strength has a limit, and there are many ways to kill Lu Bu.
In the most extreme case, the Kushans would be 100% sure of killing Lu Bu even if they had to give up the mountain pass.
This is the battlefield of the empire. Even if you are the best in the world, you cannot guarantee 100% victory.
Looking at the confused Zhang Liao, Lu Bu did not say much. Everything has a threshold. Nowadays, the only ones who can achieve what they have done are divine cultivators, and they have to be divine cultivators who are on the verge of mental tribulation.
Currently, only he, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun can fully use this ability. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou all know this method, it is slow to take effect and consumes a lot of energy.
"Let's not talk about this. We brothers haven't fought together for many years." Lu Bu said with a sigh. Since the battle in the northern border, they have been transferred to various places to shine and have very little time to fight together.
"Yes, but this time we can fight side by side again!" Zhang Liao said with a smile, but there was some gloom in his eyes.
He knew that Lu Bu and Gao Shun left so that he could find his own way with the Wolf Riders, but unfortunately, he had not succeeded until now.
"I haven't realized before that you seem to be more suitable for leading troops than me." Lu Bu smiled and comforted Zhang Liao.
“I’m just good at one thing!”
Zhang Liao thought about it. If someone else had said this, he would have denied it. But since it was Lu Bu himself who said this, Zhang Liao thought about it and nodded in acknowledgement.
"There's no need to belittle yourself. Why don't you apply for a position to command a large legion and give it a try with the troops? There's no need to be trapped by the wolf riders!" Lu Bu suggested tactfully.
If Zhang Liao was not his brother who had been through thick and thin with him, he would not have said that.
As his horizons broadened, and as he frequently studied things with the God of War and others, Lu Bu gradually developed that feeling.
It is certain that Lu Bu himself is not suitable to command a large army. Even Lu Bu does not have the ability to seize opportunities . Although he can make up for it partly with his strong strength and intuition, he is still not suitable.
He can only be a good general and a charge commander, but can never become the commander of a large army. However, Zhang Liao is different. Zhang Liao has the ability to become the commander of a large army.
Zhang Liao shook his head. It was not that he was unaware that he had the ability to command a large army, but the problem was obvious: he could not abandon the Wolf Cavalry, and he felt that he was very suitable for the Wolf Cavalry.
Every time he cut into the opponent's weakness and avoided the trap, he led the wolf cavalry to hunt like a wolf king. This was Zhang Liao's own command style. He looked for opportunities to fight, then tore open a gap and killed the enemy with one blow.
"Is that so?" Lu Bu thought about it. He didn't quite understand this. He used to rely on his powerful military force to lead the way in creating a new world. Later, he couldn't do it anymore and he lost.
He originally didn't want to see Zhang Liao trapped by the Wolf Riders. After witnessing too many large army commands, Lu Bu still highly respected the large army command.
"Fengxian actually thinks about this kind of problem." Zhang Liao said with a smile. The previous Lu Bu would not have thought so much.
Lu Bu shook his head when he heard this. That was also a surprise.
After trying to join forces with Han Xin to fight against the duo of Bai Qi and Huo Qubing, Lu Bu realized that he was suitable to be a vanguard, a vanguard whose direction was controlled by others.
He just needs to follow the command, break through the army and attack Huanglong, then take down the dog head of the opponent's command node to achieve the final victory.
Although he did not win at the beginning, the pleasure of being able to come and go freely on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people and going in and out seven times is something that Lu Bu can never forget.
You have to know that on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, he is basically a super soldier. Even though he is still very capable in fighting, a wave of arrows or even a group charge can repel him.
But that time, under the command of Han Xin, every time he appeared, it was a weak spot arranged by Bai Qi, which allowed Bai Qi to experience the charm of military situation.
However, Han Xin said that Xiang Yu was an even worse bastard than Lu Bu. Not only did he have Lu Bu's martial arts skills, he also had Huo Qubing's ability to seize opportunities.
If you can't command an army on the move, you'll die.
Anyone who can command a large army on the move, if not a god of war, must be a human being at the peak of his power to command a large army.
Although Bai Qi could do it, he could not resist Han Xin's shamelessness. He stared at Bai Qi and killed him without even looking at Huo Qubing.
Then when Han Xin was stabbed to death by Huo Qubing, Lu Bu also stabbed Bai Qi to death.
Although they both died, Han Xin was the planner and Bai Qi was the victim, so naturally their feelings were completely different.
Bai Qi was so angry that he had a real-life fight with Han Xin, and even after cutting Han Xin into pieces, he still couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.
Since then , Lu Bu understood the importance of commanding a large army.
However, there are very few large army commanders that he can trust. If Zhang Liao can become the commander of a large army, it will be a good thing for both him and Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao sighed and said nothing more.
Human beings will inevitably think after seeing too much, whether it is a phenomenon or text. After repeating it many times, they will inevitably ponder its correctness.
The same situation happened to Zhang Liao. When he led the Wolf Cavalry before, he was always interspersed in the battle line and it was difficult for him to pay attention to the overall situation.
But that was in the past, when the army's commanders were Lu Bu and Gao Shun, and he only had to obey orders. But later, the Wolf Cavalry was incorporated into his command, and he led the Wolf Cavalry in battles more and more often.
He found that he had noticed many things that he had never noticed before.
However, Zhang Liao looked at the Wolf Riders behind him, shook his head, and said nothing more. There were many commanders of the Han army now, and one more or one less would not make much difference. It would be more reliable to lead the Wolf Riders honestly and try to continue the breakthrough.
Among the current Wolf Riders, there are already some Guards who have reached the end of the road. A large number of Guards have completed the seventh level of smelting. Not only are they just one step away from reaching the third level of talent, but their data on paper are infinitely close to reaching the third level of talent.
But the road ahead was too heavy and too confusing. Zhang Liao could not see the direction clearly and could not find the direction. He could only lead the wolf cavalry to train day after day in order to break through the last constraints.
"We're here!" Zhang Liao brought Lu Bu into the tent. At this time, all the officers were already in place, and they were all waiting for Cao Cao's speech.
"Are we going to send troops?" Lu Bu looked at the situation inside the tent and spoke with some speculation.
"Yes, the general has ordered that the offensive will begin in ten days. We will know the specific signal then, and the general will come here in person!" Cao Cao did not say a word extra and directly stated the situation. Except for Lu Bu, everyone was shocked when they heard it.
It was the first time they knew that the general would actually arrive in Beigui in person. Logically speaking, the Yulin Army was in the south, and the general should go to the south to achieve the greatest effect.
Even Bai He, the commander of the Lieyang Army, was surprised. He did not receive any orders from the guard general. What happened?
"What I want to explain to you in this meeting is that what we are going to launch is not a war of attrition, nor a war of trial, but a thorough offensive battle!" Yue Fei said in a deep voice.
Everyone present was extremely surprised. Although Beigui Mountain Pass was not a wall of despair, it was also impregnable. How could the Han Dynasty actually plan to take it down in one go?
"By then, the general will bring new weapons, and the defense works at the mountain pass will be destroyed. All you have to do is fight!" Lu Bu said suddenly.
Yue Fei looked at Lu Bu with some surprise.
"I was in the meeting when the combat meeting was held!" Lu Bu said casually.
Yue Fei nodded. A guy like Lu Bu, who had pushed martial arts to the limit, was indeed worth referring to.
"So, I hope you all understand that no matter what happens at that time, we will attack with all our strength this time. No one will defend this time. We have only one mission, and that is to enter Peshawar. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone's blood was boiling. They realized that this time they might really be launching a war to annihilate the Kushan nation.
The large-scale mobilization of troops by the Han Dynasty immediately aroused the vigilance of the Kushans.
You must know that in order to ensure safety, the Kushan gods and Buddhas who practiced clairvoyance monitored the Han camp almost 24 hours a day. Although they could not see the specific situation, they were still able to discover such movements that were obviously preparations for battle.
"The sudden attack by the Han army is a bit strange. I have a bad feeling." Atler frowned. He really felt a hint of bad luck.
The same was true for Barak. He was now extremely grateful that he had listened to Atel's orders and asked for assistance from the rear. Vesudeva also sent over 50,000 elite troops and dozens of officers with outstanding abilities, which allowed their strength to further develop.
After all, the biggest problem on their side is that they have too many soldiers and too few generals. Even if they bring back some of the dead officers, it is still not enough.
Originally, Barak was still considering whether to continue to wage war against the Han Dynasty and continue training his troops. He lost his chance last time because of the guy North Kapil, but in the current situation, if they can continue this medium to low intensity war, they will surely make a profit.
Balas, who had died in the battle before, had been forcibly rescued from the reincarnation by Brahma and his men, and more than half of the legion had also been rescued.
Since the place where they died in battle was very close , the Trimurti had ample room to perform.
The return of Baras actually made the war atmosphere in Beigui Pass even more intense, but Barak still followed Atel's advice and kept his troops on hold for the time being.
"Get ready to send troops, Barak!" Atel said to Barak after thinking for a while.
"Didn't you oppose sending troops before?" Barak asked curiously.
"The initiative of the war cannot be in the hands of the Han Dynasty. Although we don't know what the Han Dynasty intends to do, destroying their plan is our plan!" Atel said heavily.
This is the tragedy of their current strategic passivity. In this situation where they are completely in the dark, they must take the initiative to attack. Even if it costs some price, they must find out what the Han Dynasty is planning to do.
"This time, I allow you to lead the American army and the barbarians to fight a real battle with the Han Dynasty!"
Atel was very uneasy. He felt that something big trouble was going to happen, so after Barak left, he immediately gave the order to ask for reinforcements from the rear camp.
At the same time, he sent people directly to Peshawar to ask the Three Gods to make some arrangements in advance. Although he didn't know what would happen, Atel was sure that the Han Dynasty's goal must be the mountain pass, so they had to make arrangements in advance.
Although Atel and Barak did not find the problem, they both felt that a storm was about to come when the situation had reached this point, so they would rather be passive and hold on to the plate. After all, every inch of land and every inch of blood was fought for, and they cannot give up easily.
While the situation in Northern Gui was on the verge of breaking out, Liu Bei in Southern Gui also convened a military meeting. There was only one key point, which was the decisive battle. The timing of the war was the same this time.
Nangui will act before Beigui, attracting the Kushans' attention to the greatest extent, and then Beigui and Shenzhou, who can cross the mountains, will launch a fatal blow.
Upon hearing the news, the officers and soldiers on Nangui's side showed no fear at all, but were filled with a strong desire to fight.
Especially Guan Yu, who was ambushed before the last war started. This time he must deal a fatal blow to the Kushans.
However, the Kushans actually did not care about Guan Yu, but were more afraid of Zhang Fei.
It is true that for the Kushans, the swordsmen are difficult to deal with, but they are not impossible to deal with. If they can penetrate the defense, they can kill them!
But Zhang Fei is the really tricky guy. The large-scale aura of fear around him makes people feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.
