Chapter 6786 Do your best

Xu Huang looked at Chi Yang with a look of surprise, as he had been back and forth here more than twenty times, and the intelligence he had accumulated was almost the same as what Chi Yang had obtained now.

After all, neither side could break through the military camp in the middle of the corridor without exposing themselves.

No matter whether one used light and shadow invisibility or special stealth talents, facing a military camp that was located across a mountain valley that was more than 20 meters wide and was guarded everywhere, it was impossible to break through with just some special talents.

Different from the reconnaissance methods of open and secret sentries, the densely packed defense equipment and patrol personnel in the military camp are the best way to block the enemy.

"Have both the visible and hidden sentries been killed?" Xu Huang asked Chi Yang.

"We've taken them all. Three of our soldiers died and nineteen were injured." Chi Yang reported simply. There was no other way. Ardashir's sentry posts were not arranged randomly. Even though Xu Huang had spent so much time figuring out 90% of them, and with top elite soldiers like Zhu Tao, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes.

After all, there is no weak veteran who can reach the fifth level of smelting. Moreover, they have survived hundreds of battles, so even without any intelligence, their subconscious and intuition will detect that something is wrong.

It was thanks to the fact that the personnel sent by the Han Dynasty to eliminate the sentry posts were all top elite and experienced in battle, and the rain greatly obscured the enemy's vision, otherwise it would have been impossible to be so smooth.

"Send the 19 injured people to the rear." Xu Huang waved his hand and ordered the wounded to turn back. These veterans had basically recovered at an accelerated rate. Those who were injured here must have been injured too seriously and could not recover in a short time on their own.

"We must attack directly. We cannot delay here. We must pass through here within two quarters of an hour, and then set up a battle line here to face the Saint Death Riders." After Chi Yang left, Cao Ang took out the map and pointed to the corridor on the map and the long slope behind the corridor and said, "Occupy this corridor and then make arrangements."

"After we pass through, we will deploy troops here, and then use top-notch shield guards to block the passage. The only problem is the Kshatriya warriors of Sakara." Barak pointed at the map and said solemnly, "The one guarding here is most likely Bakza, and his subordinates are all undead guards replicated by Ardashir."

"This is different from what we have discovered before. The people stationed here have always been Tulansha or Nihawin." Cao Ang frowned. The Cao family has always sent people to keep an eye on this place, so he is familiar with the personnel stationed in this corridor.

It can be said that many of Cao Ang’s preparations were aimed at the legions of Tulansha and Nihawin.

As a result, Barak now told Cao Ang that it was Bakza who was stationed here. In this case, Cao Ang’s previous preparations were basically ruined.

"Because of rotation, Ardashir led his men back from Kandahar, and he also has to take this route, so it is reasonable to bring Turansha and others back. Nihawin is a cavalryman and Turansha is his confidant. If the military disaster relief plan is to be implemented, there are only a handful of officers under Ardashir who can do it." Xu Huang could understand the reason and gave a direct answer.

In fact, this is what Xu Huang wanted to complain about - why were he and Le Jin leading the troops to rescue the victims? Because no one else could do this. If you let Zhang Xiu do it, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Zhang Xiu would continue to act rashly. If you let the Cao and Xiahou families do it, they would also act rashly. Even if there were orders, they would restrain themselves and not go too far, but forget about doing anything innocent.

In fact, Xu Huang and Le Jin's subordinates also had such problems, and it was very difficult to completely avoid such problems.

But at least Xu Huang and Le Jin would stop and deal with this situation when they discovered it, while Zhang Xiu and the officers of the Cao and Xiahou families were more or less turning a blind eye to this kind of behavior, and as long as it was not too serious, it happened.

Based on this logic, if Ardashir wanted to mobilize the maximum number of troops for disaster relief, he could not use those officers who plundered the civilians. He could only use outstanding officers such as Turansha and Gorgan.

In this case, it is impossible for Turansha to guard the northwest entrance of Kabul. Although Nihawin has many shortcomings, he leads the cavalry very well. Staying here to garrison, especially in the rain, is actually quite disadvantageous for Nihawin. Therefore, when Ardashir returned, it was reasonable to leave Bakza here and take Turansha and others away.

"As for the Undead Guards, we can only use our main force to attack." Although Cao Ang was not very good at military affairs, he knew that he had to make a decisive move in this situation. "Arrange the warriors in front of the battle and forcefully break through the enemy's front line."

"Yes." Barak nodded to Cao Ang. He knew very well how to fight here. After all, this was once his defense zone.

"Let's set off. When we were cleaning the sentry post, I had already let the main force finish their meal and rest. There is no time to delay." Xu Huang took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

At the same time, the main force of the front line, which had already begun to adjust since Chi Yang came in, had made mental preparations. The top veterans from Ruishi had already started to adjust and warm up in the midline position, and the ranks had also been naturally lined up.

"I will lead the team on the front line to see if we can directly break into the enemy's central camp in the first wave. This camp is not big. I estimate that most of the soldiers are not in the camp, but outside the corridor. This camp is just a blockade line." Xu Huang said slowly.

Barak nodded when he heard this. This was his arrangement back then, and Ardashir continued this arrangement. However, this arrangement was simple but could not be cracked.

"There are probably only six to eight hundred people in this camp. But if this camp is attacked, a large number of spear and shield soldiers will rush in from the camp outside the corridor about six hundred meters away from this camp. In addition, I ordered people to carve a passage on the cliff and leave observation eyes." Barak said expressionlessly.

Xu Huang's face turned extremely ugly. He had been in and out for more than twenty times, but he had not found any passages or observation eyes carved out of the cliff. However, this was normal. This camp was deliberately placed in this location to attract people's attention and to prevent others from breaking through.

If we don't break through here, how can we notice that the high cliff behind the camp has been hollowed out?

"The original intention was to quickly break through the blockade after encountering the real elite, and then suppress them from above according to the idea that the other party would definitely seek a quick victory and a head-on confrontation with our army, and there would be cloud gas storage warehouses inside." Barak said with emotion.

Xu Huang's face turned green. His top elite troops rushed to the back half of the corridor with the intention of a quick victory. Faced with a blocking gun array head-on, they had to deal with high-powered javelins thrown from a cliff more than ten meters high, coupled with the instantaneous burst of power of the Kushan soldiers and the high-explosive secret technique provided by the cloud storage warehouse. To be honest, there was no hope at all.

Considering that the opponent is a type of soldier with extremely high defense, such as the Undead Guards, in this situation, even if Cao Ang organized elite backbones to make a breakthrough, there is a high probability that he will have no hope.

"General, since you are saying this now, there must be a solution." Cao Ang asked immediately.

"Yes, I designed this defense line. I estimate that even if Ardashir wants to modify it, there are a few things that cannot be moved, and the most difficult design here is actually the cloud gas storage warehouse." Barak laughed dryly, "I estimate that Ardashir is unlikely to move the location of the cloud gas storage warehouse."

"Why?" Xu Huang asked in confusion. "Ardashir is not a fool. He knows you are on the other side. How could he not strengthen defense at such a critical location? After all, that is a cloud gas storage warehouse that can be used to detonate."

The cloud storage warehouse has many uses. It can be used to provide cloud protection for one's own side, and it can also be used to charge one's own secret techniques, Xuanxiang military formation, and even some energy-consuming talents of the soldiers after refining, so it is more than enough to ignite self-destruction.

When they were in the Ganges, most of the cloud gas storage warehouses that the Han Dynasty had seized in the early days were blown up.

"Because that place is the safest." Barak said very seriously, "The cloud gas storage warehouse is inside the cliff, embedded in the inner side of the rock wall passage. It is the safest location. No matter where Ardashir exchanges it, it is not as safe as that place."

"In this case, how are we going to detonate the cloud gas storage warehouse?" Xu Huang said with a frown.

"Because there is a blocked cave leading to the bottom of the cloud gas storage warehouse, and a special secret technique is used to block shock and infiltration detection to avoid being discovered." Barak said with a sigh.

The cliff passage carved out above the corridor is essentially just a cover-up. Although it has an amazing effect, it is actually a first-sight kill. With the hard power of the Han army, after being hit by this hammer the first time, they will be prepared for the second time and can naturally solve it.

When this thing was built, its goal was to allow the Han army to fight to the death to blow it up after inflicting heavy damage on them for the first time, and then to break into Kabul.

The road below the cloud gas storage warehouse was used to allow the Han army to blow up the cloud gas storage warehouse and, thinking they had won a great victory for the second time, go around to the back of the Han Dynasty, and then launch a pincer attack in this terrain where it was impossible to attack from both sides, and completely destroy the Han Dynasty.

To be honest, before Barak defected, he was a ruthless general. If this trick was successful, Cao Cao would be killed at least. After all, Cao Cao had racked his brains to successfully blow up the cloud gas storage warehouse, so he naturally would not suspect that there was any problem here. Moreover, with such a difficult terrain, if you break into it, you will definitely rush in desperately and will never waste time.

They would not pay special attention to the enemy fortress that they had blown up after exhausting their energy and brains, especially since many of their own and enemy people died when the fortress was blown up.

Admittedly, such things could not be concealed when the ruins were being cleared after the war, but who on either side would have the time at that time?
Using this method would mean deciding the outcome, so there was no chance for Cao Cao to keep any men to clear the ruins.

"So there is a road here too?" Cao Ang was surprised.

"Yes, there is a way," Barak nodded.

"Has Ardashir not discovered it yet?" Xu Huang had an expression of disbelief.

"No, I have sent people to try it before. The cave is still there. This road was dug by my trusted men. After all, it was a life-and-death tactic prepared at the time." Barak said with a hint of embarrassment. He and his trusted men all surrendered. This road that was used to deal with Cao Cao is now used to deal with the Kushans.

"Because of the spies at that time, the passage leading to the cloud gas storage warehouse is about two meters thick from the cloud gas storage warehouse, and most of this two-meter-thick stone wall has been loosened by special techniques. This thickness is maintained mainly to prevent people lurking on the cliff from discovering a two-meter square hole at the bottom." Barak said with a touch of emotion. So much was prepared back then, but it was thrown away without any preparation. It was really a waste. Now it can finally be used.

When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes lit up. Isn't this God helping me?

"So I said that it is not difficult to break into the Kabul Valley, because I have a lot of means here, but to get in, stabilize the front line, and make Ardashir give up the encirclement and suppression, it requires hard power." Barak looked at Cao Ang sincerely.

"Being able to get through this place like this has already exceeded our previous estimate. General, just go ahead and do what you want." Cao Ang originally had a hint of solemnity on his face, but it was somewhat alleviated by the means left behind by Barak.

"I will lead the team through the cave tunnel, and General Xu will lead his troops to break through the defense line in the corridor. The general's atmospheric manipulation can to a large extent defend against the javelins thrown from above, and my mental imagery can ensure that a small number of elite soldiers can maintain the cloud and combat effectiveness of the large-scale main force." Barak turned his head and said to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang thought for a moment and nodded. Although what Barak said made sense, he also knew that Barak was actually giving the credit to himself intentionally. In Barak's mind, there would be no problem in attacking the main force head-on.

After the three of them made the decision, Barak led a group of people to the cliff that they had dug. Xun You pressed his temple and looked at Xu Huang, "General, if you use your full legion talent, if the rain gets even heavier and there is cold fog in the mountains, can you lead the well-prepared soldiers to the enemy camp fifty steps away without being discovered?"

"But such heavy rain and fog will arouse the other party's suspicion." Xu Huang raised his eyebrows. Instead of saying that it couldn't be done, he asked a question.

"That means we can do it. The enemy won't suspect anything. They have ignored the possibility that we will launch an attack unless we are seen directly." Xun You said as he activated the small jade disc with all his strength. A huge amount of mental power was injected into it. Xun You's mental talent was stimulated to the maximum extent. The entire Han army under Cao Ang was obscured by Xun You from the enemy's cognition.

"It's up to you now, General. My mission ends here. Any subsequent strategies are no longer useful. We can only rely on the hard power of both sides." Xun You saluted Xu Huang. He really hoped to win.

Take a rest, I am so tired, 2024 will be over in a flash
