Chapter 947: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
Wei Yan was extremely upset after waking up. Originally, they could have used their weak force to pin down this reinforcement army on the lower reaches of the Ganges, but now they could only watch helplessly as the enemy surrounded Guan Yu.
"It's not your fault. Being able to disperse the Kushan army in advance is already a great achievement!"
Zhang Fei was quite open-minded. The order Zhuge Liang gave him was to integrate Wei Yan and others and wait for the opportunity to encircle them. Now Wei Yan has accomplished an exceptionally good job.
"Next, our army will hang behind the enemy and wait for orders at any time!"
"Is General Guan's situation okay?" Wei Yan was very confused. After facing hundreds of thousands of people, he finally realized why there were so few battles where the outnumbered side defeated the larger side. It was really too difficult to fight.
Moreover, Guan Yu was not facing a group of miscellaneous soldiers, but mostly the real elite Kushans. By that time, it would probably be a matter of hard power.
"It's okay. General Meng Huo has already brought 100,000 men to meet up with my second brother. Just wait!" Zhang Fei smiled. He never worried about Guan Yu. In his eyes, Guan Yu was invincible when he led his troops.
Guan Yu will definitely be able to accomplish the great feat that he failed to accomplish last time.
Unlike the last time, the God of Galan could only fight alone. He and Liu Bei could not be punished as much as Guan Yu by the gods and people, so they were forced to do nothing.
Then this time the three brothers will advance and retreat together, and he and Liu Bei will not hold Guan Yu back.
The Kushan military spirit, three talents, and large army command will all be stepping stones for their brothers.
Some people say that the closer you are to God, the greater you will feel that God is, but these people have never truly been close to God.
Those who truly get close to God will discover the true greatness of mankind.
Last time, they made a mistake and relied on gods in their human form. It seemed that they were invincible, but in fact, they were completely inferior.
All their victories were based on the worship of gods in the southern Kushan Empire, and they once approached Peshawar.
But when Beigui intervened, the superiority and inferiority of humans over gods became clear. They were almost instantly defeated and even forced to give up all their victories.
This time, they no longer used the name of gods, but actually crushed the Kushans to the ground.
Rahul's expression remained unchanged after receiving information from various parties.
Not only did the Han Dynasty recognize the reality, he also recognized the reality that gods were unreliable. He even took Peacock to participate in the god-killing. What gods could be trusted?
Brahma can be killed, but what about Shiva and Vishnu?
Every time he thought of this, he got a huge headache. His Brahmin education since childhood told him that God should not be desecrated, but he himself killed God and even took a piece of fragment from Brahma's body to strengthen the peacock.
Man is greater than God, this is the conclusion he came to, which also revealed the root cause of the Brahmins' failure.
It was because God could not defeat humans that the Brahmins lost miserably, and the situation changed from the southern and northern nobility being on equal footing to the northern nobility swallowing up the southern nobility.
How can this be considered respecting God? Fortunately, he did not rely on his status as a Brahmin to reach a high position. He has always relied on himself.
Today, he can rely on his own abilities to occupy half of Kushan's territory and become one of the two poles of Kushan.
Guan Yu joined the game, which was what he expected.
He had expected the Han Dynasty to respond, and he never thought that the Han Dynasty would be helpless.
Guan Yu surrounded the city, and their reinforcements surrounded Guan Yu again. The Han Dynasty planned to use troops to surround them once again.
In this way, you are in me and I am in you, and the final battle comes down to command and combat effectiveness.
The pressure once again fell on him and Guan Yu.
In other words, it is the ultimate competition between military strategy and military situation.
In the end, was it that the Kushans were defeated at the Ganges by a combination of internal and external forces, or was it that Guan Yu was killed first and the Kushans broke the encirclement.
The game takes only a moment.
"Kapil, get ready to go, the stage has been set and it's our turn to go on stage!" Rahul said slowly to Kapil beside him.
This strategy was discussed by him and Kapil. Now the stage has been set, and it all depends on the outcome of the final confrontation.
"Our army will win!" Kapil said calmly.
His problem was solved. It cost twice as much as strengthening the peacock, but it was solved in the end.
It would have been fine if there was no way before, but now that there is a way, the Kushans will naturally do everything they can to solve the problem of the legion commander of the imperial scepter.
With the help of the Brahma fragments, Kapil reincarnated ten times, and each life was a test. Finally, he completely solved his problem of making stupid mistakes when he was nervous. Now he is consistent inside and out, and is a truly qualified and excellent commander of the Military Soul Corps.
This was Rahul's final preparation, to accumulate momentum, and then arrive at the battlefield, use the power of the peacock and the scepter to make the final decision, sweeping away the Han army in one breath, and then marching north.
He was very sure that if the Han army was still in the same state as last time, they would win this battle.
But Rahul knew very well that the Han army would never be in the same state as last time. The Kushans were making progress, and the Han would never stop. The two sides would eventually have to fight.
"This time, I won't hold you back. I'll be back to my best form. Let's have a good fight!"
Standing at the bow, Rahul's aura was like a sword that had been sharpened again, becoming unstoppable again.
At this moment, Kusroyi, who was standing behind Rahul, suddenly realized what he was missing, but he didn't care.
The untouchable Dalits are a thing of the past, but the dawn has not faded, but has found its relay target after being cleansed of all dross.
As long as you work hard, you can turn things around, and Shuguang welcomes such people. No matter their background, as long as they want to become stronger, Shuguang will not be afraid of them.
It can be said that Dawn is now another trump card in Rahul's hand that is no weaker than Peacock.
On the other side, Xu Shu finally got the flaw he wanted!
As expected, the more he did, the more mistakes he made, and the more people there were, the more chaotic the coordination became.
The newly added reinforcement Meng Huo helped him to blockade the city of Samadhira, making the city of Samadhira completely locked down. No matter how bold Niranjan was, he had to give up the opportunity of a night attack and hide in the city.
As the bait, he has already completed his mission and must not cause . He can only hold on and get help.
Guan Yu and his men harassed Samata City every day as if they were completing a mission, but they never put in the effort to actually attack it.
"Move forward the troops!" After seeing through the flaw, Xu Shu immediately found Guan Yu and asked him to move forward.
"Mobilize troops?" Guan Yu was very confused. If according to the original plan, they should be defending now.
"Yes, we mobilized the troops. Our scouts scattered on the road and our spies planted inside Kushan finally got intelligence on the movements of the Kushan army." Xu Shu explained succinctly.
"Of course, the most important thing is Rahul's movements. He is definitely a tough nut to crack, so we avoid him. Now I have found a way to break the deadlock."
Xu Shu spread out the map with a sneer. Rahul wanted to build up his momentum and then make the final decision. It was a good idea, but the premise was that everything developed as originally planned.
He is now going to deviate from the original plan and rearrange the battlefield to catch Rahul off guard!
"Let's go attack Wang's City. Although there are many people on this road, they are well-behaved. As long as General Guan can lead the troops to break through, Wang's City will be short of troops, and our army will definitely be able to capture this city!"
Xu Shu explained succinctly.
In fact, it was the same as attacking Pataliputra. There were too many Kushan legions. Before Rahul took charge of the situation, they could only complete their tasks step by step. However, by the time Rahul received the news and mobilized troops, they had already captured the city.
What we are fighting for is a time difference.
However, Wang's City has one advantage. It will be closer to the direction of attack by Huang Zhong and his men. At that time, the pressure of defending the city will be less, and maybe they can cooperate with Huang Zhong and his men.
"That is to say, this time, the number of people our army mobilizes cannot be too large. At least the siege must continue, right?" Guan Yu pondered.
"That's right. Take the most elite 20,000 troops away. In order to prevent Niranjan from communicating with the Kushans through secret methods, our army will leave behind flags, tents and other sundries and march lightly to attack Huanglong!"
Xu Shu's courage is not inferior at all, and as for his awareness, it is first-class.
He wanted to attack together with Guan Yu, even risking his own life, betting that with his assistance, Guan Yu could kill through the Kushan army in this direction.
This is also the reason why he asked Meng Huo to maintain a low-intensity siege these days, in order to paralyze Niranjan in Samata City. As long as Niranjan did not spread the news of their departure in the first time, then this plan would be very likely to be realized.
"Yuanzhi is gambling, not only that I can defeat the Kushans in the direction of Wang Wang's City, but also that General Du Huang can capture Wen Jia to come to the rescue, and he is also betting that Kong Ming can stop Rahul?"
Guan Yu asked back, stroking his beard.
"Even if the general does not trust Kong Ming, how can he not trust Lord Xuande and the three generals?" Xu Shu chuckled. He knew that Guan Yu had made his decision.
"Okay! Then I will listen to you, Yuanzhi, and make a bet!" Guan Yu laughed loudly.
Yes, even if he didn't believe Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang, how could he not believe Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
"good!"
Xu Shu nodded, and he and Guan Yu became eager to fight. As long as they were fighting with all their strength, he also needed to make some other arrangements and plans.
The Han Dynasty is now too passive, which is also a disadvantage of their expedition.
Originally, Samata City was a good stronghold, but Samata City had been tampered with and was definitely a trap. Even if it was attacked by force, it would only become a hidden danger, so it was better to skip this trap and go to the rear.
If Rahul still divided his troops when the Han army was already gathering in front of him, Zhuge Liang would teach Rahul an unforgettable lesson.
After all, Guan Yu is not an ordinary person. Even for the sake of caution, Rahul should have dispatched two or three elite legions and cooperated with tens of thousands of people to capture Guan Yu alone.
Guan Yu had the experience of defeating an army of 100,000 in a single battle. If the troops were divided too little, it would be like sending food to Guan Yu. If the troops were divided too much, he would have to face the pressure from the main force of the Han army.
"How about letting Wen Chang replace me?" Guan Yu suddenly said.
"Of course it's better..."
Xu Shu's face suddenly looked a little strange. To be honest, under normal circumstances, he should let his own son take over. However, compared with Guan Ping, Guan Xing and Guan Suo , surprisingly, Wei Yan was more like Guan Yu, with the same expression and appearance.
"Wen Chang has the style of a great general. It will be better for him to cooperate with General Meng Huo. Maybe he can even help our army cover up its whereabouts!" Xu Shu nodded.
Transplanting flowers and trees, using someone else as a substitute, this is also a good strategy. At this time, they can deceive for a while. As long as they can take over Wang's City, it doesn't matter if they are exposed.
However, the later it is discovered, the greater the damage it will cause to the Kushans.
When Wei Yan arrived at Samadhira City, Guan Yu and Xu Shu had already led their swordsmen and elite troops straight to Wang's City.
Wei Yan disguised himself as Guan Yu, but Nilanjan couldn't tell anything was wrong from a distance because they looked too similar. And since they couldn't fight, he couldn't tell the difference at all.
Both sides are accumulating strength, waiting for the decisive battle to begin.
For both sides, once the war starts, it will be an endless battle until one side is completely defeated.
"Xu Yuanzhi! His strategy may have flaws, but he was too decisive. He carried out his plan almost on time. The Kushans had no time to react, or their reaction was not timely!" Zhuge Liang sighed as he looked at the intelligence in his hand.
When a large army is fighting, a commander is extremely important. Without a unified command, the army will be in disarray.
But there is no way around it, Rahul must not be on the front line.
If Rahul was at the front line, Guan Yu would not go back to step into the trap at all, which was equivalent to the Kushans directly giving up their local advantages and directly going into war with the Han Dynasty's large army in the field.
This was simply digging their own grave for the Kushans.
After Xu Shu's operations, he just turned the initiative between the two parties to an equal one.
If the Kushans had done this before, the Han Dynasty would have been happy.
"Does Kong Ming have any good ideas to help my second brother?" Liu Bei was a little anxious. How come Guan Yu was alone again? He was really not qualified to be the eldest brother.
"Lord Xuande, don't worry. It is our mission to contain Rahul's main force. General Guan is going alone this time, which is different from the last time. This time, our army will surround him from three sides!"
Zhuge Liang waved the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile.
"When the time comes, you may have to take the risk with me. Is Lord Xuande willing to do so?"
"Hahaha, Kong Ming, don't worry. My swordsmanship, Liu Xuande, is also top-notch in the world. It's not a bad idea for me to charge into the battle myself!" Liu Bei was happy. He was not a weak scholar.
In the early years, he was also a pioneer.
Zhuge Liang was stunned. He really didn't know how strong Liu Bei was. In his memory, Liu Bei seemed to have never taken action.
However, in this way, his confidence would be much higher. After all, when it comes to taking risks, the stronger the better.
"That's great. Now we just need to wait for General Zhao and General Ma to arrive, and then we can start the battle!"
Zhuge Liang was extremely confident. Although Xu Shu's plan conflicted with his overall plan, Xu Shu's plan had already been successful.
In this way, he has to cooperate with Xu Shu, and his chances of winning will be 10% higher than before.
From 60% to 70%, the Han Dynasty will definitely win this battle!
