Chapter 964 Rahul's trump card
"Good! Ma Jichang! Very good!"
Fa Zheng praised Ma Liang highly, saying that Ma Liang's performance exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that it was intelligence of victory, and wanted to see the battle damage to judge the abilities of Ma Su and Ma Liang.
Unexpectedly, Ma Liang gave him a surprise.
He was a little surprised when he got the intelligence. He thought that Ma Liang had fooled this fence-sitter into joining his army. What a great diplomatic talent! It was a waste of his talent to be a staff officer!
Ma Liang made it very clear in his report, it was just a tendency, but it was enough for Fa Zheng.
"Why is the military advisor so happy? I don't see any substantial progress." Huang Zhong looked at Fa Zheng in confusion.
"What's more, this small country that betrayed Kushan so easily will also easily betray us when necessary. Do we really have to trust them?"
"That makes sense, and there is indeed no substantive progress, but from Ma Changji's letter, I saw some tendencies."
Fa Zheng half-narrowed his eyes and said with a fierce look, if you want to get off the chariot of the Han Dynasty after getting on it, then the only option left is to be torn to pieces.
Basically, Fa Zheng was certain that as long as there were no major twists and turns in the next battle, the Chola Dynasty would turn around and turn to the Han Dynasty, break with the Kushan Empire, and take the initiative to help the Han Dynasty drive away Mong Kangbu.
This is good news, after all, their main opponent is still the main Kushan army.
Huang Zhong felt very overwhelmed after listening to Fa Zheng's analysis. Does that mean that the entire outcome of the battle depends entirely on him?
The pressure suddenly became so great.
Huang Zhong felt no pressure at all in dealing with Meng Kangbu, and even felt confident.
But if what he did could affect the main battlefield, Huang Zhong would suddenly feel under tremendous pressure.
However, Huang Zhong was not an easy person to deal with after all. After Fa Zheng pointed out the importance, he immediately began to reorganize the army. He did not want to let them down.
Looking at Huang Zhong, who had become cautious and prudent after being inspired by his few words, Fa Zheng smiled slightly. He was deliberately putting pressure on Huang Zhong .
Meng Kangbu's whereabouts were uncertain, and he couldn't determine what Meng Kangbu was up to for a while, so he could only stimulate Huang Zhong's subjective initiative as much as possible and let him act according to circumstances.
"Moncomb, what exactly do you want to do?" Fa Zheng was very confused. The existing information made it impossible to judge what the other party wanted to do.
Logically speaking, if they had put together a large army from all over, they should have at least come to compete with the Han Dynasty.
Those despicable means had to be based on the First World War, but Moncomb seemed to have disappeared.
In fact, Fa Zheng guessed correctly, Meng Kangbu had disappeared.
After putting together a large army from various sources, Montcombe suddenly had an idea.
The probability of his ragtag army winning against the Han Dynasty is no more than one in ten. At most, it can delay the Han Dynasty for a while and distract its attention.
Since you can't win, then just don't win.
With the assembled army, he returned to the naval base.
Just as he said, human life is useful after all. He simply chose to sacrifice a group of disobedient reinforced ships, and then shuffled the others and stuffed them into the fleet.
Meng Kangbu learned the empty city plan without any teacher.
And the effect was so outstanding that Fa Zheng was frightened for a moment and kept speculating in which area Meng Kangbu might appear.
A ragtag army is not scary, what is scary is a ragtag army that cannot be traced.
…
"Meng Kangbu..." Zhuge Liang looked at the information handed over by Huang Zhong and couldn't deny it. As the creator of the Empty City Strategy, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong with Meng Kangbu.
However, the cautious Zhuge Liang did not point it out in the end. He believed that such matters could not be taken lightly. He would rather let Fa Zheng waste some time to determine the true situation of Meng Kangbu.
The information that Yu Ji sent back to the Han Dynasty had also been passed to them by Zuo Ci.
After looking at the general situation, Zhuge Liang knew that before they weakened the Kushans to a certain extent, it would be impossible to touch the Khyber Pass again.
Seven third-talent level fighters plus a weaker Miracle Legion, and a large number of elite guards.
Even if the Miracle Legion's Divine Cavalry led the team, it would be impossible to break through.
In short, after the attempt at the Khyber Pass, the Han Dynasty had given up the idea of a surprise attack from the north, and instead began to use regular troops to deal with the northern part of Kushan, trying to find a way to tie down the main force of Kushan and let Zhuge Liang continue to try to see if he could break the situation.
It can be said that almost all the burden fell on Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was not afraid at all and was even eager to try, as this was the stage he had expected.
And he will achieve sublimation on this stage.
Rahul on the other side was also eager to try, and confrontation was what he expected to see.
He used the morale boost brought by the previous defeat of Wei Yan to the extreme. After the imperial scepter was transferred away, he realized that he seemed to be being held back again.
Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in being held back, and this time it was the Han army's strategy that caused the problem, not his own people causing trouble.
Realizing that he needed to strengthen his strength, Rahul once again called up a group of young and strong players.
It is so convenient to fight on your own soil, you can recruit troops however you want.
The Kushans had no shortage of qualified young and strong men, so Rahul easily trained more than 200,000 soldiers with only individual talents.
"General, is it really meaningful for us to train so many soldiers with single talents?" Durga finally asked her doubts.
"In fact, after the scale of the war has risen to this level, ordinary one-talent is no longer meaningful. Because in such a large-scale war, once you are defeated, no one can pull you back. The elite of one-talent will be directly swept away and collapsed. The best that two-talent can do is to ensure that they will not collapse."
Rahul said softly, "If the organization collapses, then everything collapses. This is what a crushing defeat is like."
"In that case, why are you still wasting time here?" Durga felt that with this time, it would be better to improve the coordination between the armies instead of wasting time on a group of soldiers with single talents.
"I was thinking that if there is a talent that can prevent the legion from collapsing, or collapse more slowly, combined with command ability, it can unleash more power, and this talent is fearlessness." Rahul said with a slight smile.
“Fearless?” Durga was confused.
Rahul smiled and didn't explain much.
His purpose of training these single-talented soldiers was simple, which was to consume the manpower of the Han army.
Two hundred thousand soldiers with fearlessness talent, if used properly, can consume the Han army's double-talented soldiers while replenishing a batch of double-talented soldiers for their own side.
With one increase and one decrease, the Kushan military advantage will be further expanded.
Even though many people will die in the process, it is still a question whether more than 200,000 people can finally produce 20,000 pairs of talents.
But Rahul had no choice, this was the fastest way he could think of to increase his strength.
In the battle with the Han Dynasty, Rahul was not afraid of losses or the enemy's strong strength. He was only afraid that the Han army would explode and their front line would collapse directly.
At this point, other methods except using piles of human lives would almost certainly backfire, and only exchanging children was the honorable and correct way.
After all, compared with other talents, once the fearless talent is formed, it will directly transform the fighting spirit and will into combat power, further enhancing one's own combat power. Moreover, it is relatively quick to form and does not require too much time to polish.
The fearless talent is the fastest way to convert combat power into cash, and it is also something Rahul is very good at now.
Although he once trained a peacock, he himself didn't know how he did it.
Back then, I just closed my eyes and made up my mind, choosing to fight to the death and counterattack, and then I came up with it.
But that was in the past. After realizing that humans were superior to gods, he understood how to train his fearless talent.
Pull a god out of mythology, and then force the lower castes to kill the god with their own hands. There is one god for each legion. As long as the god dies, they will naturally develop the talent of fearlessness.
A small number of them will have their wills sublimated directly, and then be picked up by Dawn as reserves.
It's a very cheating method, but it's very effective against the lower castes of the Kushans.
Rahul can even mass-produce the fearless talent, but it's a pity that he can't wash away the talent and then replace it like Huangfu Song did.
Otherwise, if the entire army was fearless, the Han Dynasty would be in real trouble.
The talent of fearlessness also depends on how it is used. In the hands of a serious commander of a large army, there are many ways to use it.
If Rahul really had 600,000 fearless and dual-talented soldiers in his hands, the Han Dynasty would have to consider whether to attack the northern or southern Kushan.
Both will be Hell level difficulty.
"Durga, you continue to recruit those young and strong men, train them with fearless talents according to my current method, select the outstanding ones, and incorporate them into the elite legion for intensive training."
Rahul sighed. To be honest, he had no choice.
If he had the choice, he would of course train peacocks. As long as he was given 30,000 peacocks, he would not be afraid of anyone and would kill gods and Buddhas. However, this is a dream.
The training of Peacock was too difficult. He was lucky enough to take advantage of the corpse of Brahma to fully staff the Peacock and push for the alliance of the two Royal Guards.
Thirty thousand peacocks? It's like living in a dream.
If he were given another twenty years, maybe he could figure it out, but for now, he might as well forget about it, as he hasn't even finished one of the prerequisites for Peacock, the elephant soldier.
Elephant soldiers existed during the Maurya Empire, but their disadvantages were also very obvious. Elephants were not very courageous, and once they were attacked, they could easily affect their own side. Once they lost control, their own side might be trampled before they could kill the enemy.
Therefore, early elephant soldiers are relatively easy to defeat, but when the elephant soldiers are gifted with the fearlessness talent, they become extremely terrifying and belong to the level of battlefield killing weapons .
But the problem is that Rahul doesn't know how to train fearlessness. He trained 300 elephants, but in the end only two had fearlessness talents. The remaining talents were simply weird and useless.
This is the tragedy of Erbadao. His method of awakening the God of Killing is completely useless on the elephant, which also results in his peacock being unable to expand.
It is even to the embarrassing point that for every elephant that dies, there is one less peacock.
It can be said that what Rahul lacks most now is time. His best golden years have been wasted, although they have been made up a little with the help of Brahma's corpse.
But if he makes full use of these windows of time, he might actually be able to complete the peacock's directional training.
It’s a pity that there is no if.
What he lacks most now is time, and the Han Dynasty obviously does not intend to give him this time.
So he could only pin his hopes on his last trump card.
"Go and get Kusroyi for me." After a while, Rahul decided to struggle again and ordered his soldiers to find Kusroyi.
Dawn is his last trump card. Until now, Dawn has not officially appeared on the battlefield. It is the last trump card he has left.
Soon Kusroyi came over. He still admired Rahul very much because the other party saved him. In addition to realizing his low caste transition plan, he also wanted to follow Rahul.
"General!" Kusroyi bowed and saluted.
"How is the training of your new recruits going?" Rahul asked.
"We have completed the second phase of training. The quality of the soldiers has been greatly improved. With a little more practice, we should be able to break through the limit and become dual talents."
Kusroyi answered very formally that the dawn gave those soldiers the value of being human beings, and naturally after having the opportunity, everyone was working hard.
"Good! Very good!"
Rahul's heart moved. He didn't expect that Kusroy's progress was faster than his. These guys could actually become double talents.
You know, the so-called recruit corps refers to this group of soldiers who are trained with fearless talents.
When he was thinking about exchanging human lives for double talents, Kusroyi actually gave him a surprise.
Having one more double talent means a better chance of winning.
As the most basic unit on the battlefield now, soldiers with double talents are the guarantee of the direction of the war.
"How many people are there in Dawn now?" Rahul asked Kusroyi, and he had a bold idea.
"General, 20,000 men! Ten thousand double talents and ten thousand guards!" Kusroyi replied.
"Twenty thousand people..." Rahul himself was stunned. To be honest, he really didn't know about this.
He always trusted the people he employed. After giving Kusroyi the freedom to select soldiers from the grassroots, he collected all the reports about Kusroyi and threw them away, thus expressing his support and trust in Kusroyi.
After all, Dawn is the only legion in his hands that has the hope of reaching the three-talent level.
The other is the Pato Armored Regiment led by Nilanzhan.
"Okay!" Rahul nodded and decided to take a gamble.
"I allow you to select soldiers from the entire army starting today, with a maximum of 50,000. One month later, I will send you on a mission. Do you dare?"
Rahul didn't hide anything and spoke directly to Kusroyi.
"Please give your orders, General!" Kusroyi did not hesitate at all. He was not afraid of any difficulties, and neither would Shuguang.
