Chapter 456: Reinforcements Arriving at Congling Ridge
Of course, he felt that the blow was not about divination, he still believed in divination, but he felt that he was cheated by a liar who pretended to be a fortune teller, which was a little hard for him to accept.
"Foreign fortune tellers are all liars indeed. We should look for one in the Central Plains, a shaman who worships the white jade ring and gets the protection of the yellow bird." Li Que thought to himself.
The Xiliang Heavenly King Group, who are still on the border of Great Britain, don't know that during the time they were out wandering, their crystals were stolen.
Jiang Wei and others who were galloping from Luoyang encountered something unexpected when they were about to reach the Pamir Mountains.
"Is there a fighting going on in the distance?" Jiang Wei was a little confused as he looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance. Wasn't it said that the natives in this area had been completely wiped out? Why was there still a fighting?
"A fighting broke out?" Sima Yi frowned. He quickly recalled the information around the Pamir Mountains, but found no useful information at all.
"How?" Zhuge Liang asked. Sima Yi shook his head. He had no useful information.
"We were sent here with the responsibility of serving as reinforcements. Does that mean our coming here is not just for experience?"
Pang Tong looked surprised. They originally thought that they were here to gild themselves just like the last time they traveled, but they didn't expect that Chen Xi and the others were serious about it.
This is equivalent to becoming the head of a province at the age of 18. Even if one is capable, it is impossible to do so directly.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were equally surprised. According to the aristocratic education they had received, being sent abroad in the early stages should have been a process of accumulating experience. They did not expect that they would be asked to get started directly with practical work!
"Do they trust us so much?" Zhuge Liang was amazed. Thinking from their perspective, they would need at least ten years of hard work before they could step onto the top stage of the court and start to display their talents.
I didn't expect that the imperial court would just throw them out there and let them grow up freely. This is such a great trust.
In fact, Chen Xi didn't think much about it at all, and he really trusted them. Such a hardcore combination of Crouching Dragon, Phoenix Chick, and Tiger Young Lin was worthy of trust.
Besides, let's talk about the kind of people they are paired with. Not to mention the legions, there are four regular legions. There is no need to say much about Deng Ai's ability as a direct Martial Temple player, and there is no need to elaborate on the old enemies Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei.
Xu Huang, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Pang De and Gao Chong, it is not a bad idea to change the name of these five people to the Five Elite Generals, as they are all capable fighters.
The large army in the Pamir Mountains is commanded by Xu Rong and Li Que, who are led by the imperial guard-level Xiliang cavalry, and a variety of miscellaneous soldiers from the Western Regions . This combination will have no problem attacking any kingdom.
So everyone is relieved. Zhuge Liang and others thought so before. This configuration is just gilding.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the Pamirs, they saw the outbreak of war, and the concept of gilding was instantly wiped out from the minds of Zhuge Liang and others.
Guys like Xu Rong and Li Que were actually beaten up at their doorstep, which meant something very complicated.
Fighting a war at one's doorstep and keeping the enemy out of the country are two completely different concepts.
Why are there such sayings as the powerful Han, the giant Tang, and the corrupt Song?
You should know that the Song Dynasty's victory rate in foreign wars was much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, but why is the evaluation so low?
The biggest reason is that most of the Song Dynasty's victories in foreign wars were in city defense battles, where the dynasty was attacked by the enemy.
Powerful dynasties like the Tang Dynasty always rode on the shoulders of other countries, and even if they lost, most of the time they lost on other countries' territory. The two types of war have completely different meanings.
Yu Jin stood on his mount, looking at the vast battlefield in the distance with a look of shock on his face.
"They actually used a mixture of miscellaneous soldiers and regular soldiers to block the double-talented elite legion?" Yu Jin looked at the battlefield below as if talking to himself. He could see the gap between him and Xu Rong from the situation on the battlefield.
"Well, what a brilliant command. Xu Rong is worthy of being the commander of a large army. I am not as good as him!" Le Jin sighed, feeling ashamed of himself. The gap between the two sides was obvious, and he could never achieve such an effect.
"It's over. It looks like a daily harassment battle, otherwise they wouldn't withdraw so easily!" Deng Ai frowned and looked at the situation on the battlefield. Why did he feel that he could achieve the same effect?
"Shouldn't we intercept them?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
"The highest among our men has just reached the double-talent level. There are nearly 10,000 elite troops on the opposite side. How can we stop them? Moreover, the situation is unclear. Let's wait and see for now." Zhuge Liang shook his head and rejected Zhong Hui's proposal.
"I feel like the opponent isn't that strong!" Lu Lingqi whispered.
Everyone rolled their eyes at Lu Lingqi and said nothing. Not only did her family have the Military Soul Corps, but they also had the Royal Guards Wolf Riders. It was normal for them to look down on the mere double-talented elite.
"Let's go, let's go and check with General Xu Rong first!" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and took a deep breath. This Congling Ridge was the starting point for him to soar into the sky like a sleeping dragon.
The enemy that withdrew on the other side was a group called the resistance army, which was actually the elite Kushan troops arranged by Vasudeva I to determine the strength of the Han Dynasty in the Pamir Mountains.
"General, why don't we just attack this place in one go? With our strength, it will be enough to defeat them with just a little effort?" the guard asked in confusion.
"The opponent's commander is very strong. If we give them a double-talented elite, I'm afraid we won't be able to do so. Our mission is just to test the strength of the Han Dynasty and observe for a while." Fu Ward said calmly.
"Where can we find such a good training ground? It can bring pressure to the camel riders, but it does not pose a complete threat to us. Don't you see how fast the new recruits are growing? If they come a few more times, our army can continue to expand." Deputy General Zasali explained with a smile.
Fuward didn't explain anything. Just as Zasali said, he was indeed just wasting time here with the intention of training his troops.
It was true that they had taken refuge with Vasuttipo I, but they were not very happy with Vasuttipo I's preference for Nangui. Fuward knew very well what the basis of Vasuttipo I's respect for him was.
The reason why Vasuttipo I was willing to give him face was because he had more than 10,000 elite troops with double talents under his command. He was willing to be loyal to Vasuttipo I, but he also understood what the capital for his survival was.
The camel cavalry, an elite dual-talent army under his command, is different from the regular dual-talent army. They can roam Central Asia without a single defeat. Of course, they rely on more than just the dual talents.
Camel riders also have gifts from God, as well as their own legion talents that are extremely suitable for camel riders. Of course, they call this mental imagery.
In addition, the camel riding environment is adaptable to the desert. The combination of mental imagery, elite troops and environment is the basis of their invincibility.
