In theory, as for the inhuman terrain of Beigui, as long as the defender is not careless, the whole process is the rhythm of the whole thing. The problem is that for some guys, the moment of encounter is doomed. You will ignore something.

That ’s right, it ’s just Xun You. Xun You ’s spiritual talent can cover some gadgets, making people naturally ignore the covered things.

This covered thing can be a person, an army, or even a strategic point. However, Xunyou ’s tragedy lies in that even with such a talent of the anti-natural level, he cannot beat Chen Xi in the Central Plains. The problem, but Chen Xi's way, is not solved by this means of stealing home.

So obviously it is the top talent, and can even let the other party ignore its strategic importance, but it has no effect at all in the Central Plains.

"Can it be covered?" Cao Cao asked Xun You when he looked.

If a legion can be completely covered, the difficulty of attacking Herat will be reduced rapidly. After taking Herat, the situation will no longer be that Guishuang has blocked the Kabul Valley and can always attack Cao's situation. Instead, Cao Cao blocked the entrance to the Kabul Valley, and the Saistan area behind it was completely transformed into a safe area.

"I have covered a part of the legion. As long as you are careful, Guishuang is unlikely to notice, but that is not enough." Xun You said with a blank expression. "We must have a legion from Herat. The Kush Mountains of Hindu are over. "

The place of Herat belongs to the third largest city in Afghanistan in the later generations. It is one of the key locations for entering India from the north. It is located outside the Hindu Kush Mountains, in the middle of the Heli River, and the Heli River belongs to the Helmand River system. .

The reason for this water system is that the Kabul River Valley is the main channel to enter India. The river valley intercepted in the first half is actually not a valley formed by the Kabul River, but a valley of the Helmand River. However, because Kabul is in a crucial position for transportation, it can be said to enter The important passages of the Indian plains are generally called the Kabul Valley.

In fact, the length of the Kabul River Valley is only five or six hundred kilometers, and the length of the Helmand River Valley is more than 1,000 kilometers. Although the place is not big, but because of the mountains, the valley is curved. The winding detours add up to two thousand kilometers.

This is a crippling logistics line. If it is not that the waterway can really carry grain, Alexander will not be able to enter even if it is opened.

By the way, the reason why India did not repair the city walls in the past was that the 2,000-kilometer logistics line can really drag people. Even if the waterway can transport food, the direction of the water flow is destined to the extent of the logistics explosion. Generally speaking He dragged and died.

It can be said that Herat is the first key point of this route, but this place is too far for Guishuang himself. Even if it can transport food by water, the distance is still very frustrating, especially here. It involves a very vexing place, that is, the area between Kandahar and Herat is directly a desert!

This desert is called the Lezistan Desert in later generations. It ’s not a big one, and it ’s not even mentioned in most world-class deserts. But even so, this thing is also a desert that is more than 300 kilometers. It ’s worse. Yes, this desert is surrounded by a pile of mountains thousands of meters high, surrounded by mountains in all four directions, and then successfully surrounded it into a basin ...

The only oasis in this desert is Kandahar at an altitude of about one kilometer, and Kandahar is on the north of the Hindu Kush Mountains, and on the south is the Suleyman Mountains. It can be said that to fight Kandahar, you must first rush through the desert. Then fight at the corner of the mountain, the middle logistics and morale are all problems.

After passing these two levels, we continued to follow the valley and walked to a more open area, where Kabul could be farmed.

This is what is known as the imperial cemetery, who came and died in the terrain of Afghanistan. It can be said that any empire that failed to win a key point without any twists and turns in the middle, all withdrawn from this broken place in awkwardness, because it is too It's hard to beat.

This is also the reason why Xun Yu insisted on going step by step after reading the terrain. If he fails to attack once, it is basically equal to all the previous efforts in vain. Moreover, this terrain is super unfriendly to the attacking party, and there are only three places to rest.

You take any one of the key points, to attack the next key point, either over a few hundred miles over the mountains and then through the desert for hundreds of miles to carry out a strong attack, or just around the east and west of the river valley, all the way across the mountains and nearly a thousand miles, Then he was tough with his opponent who was waiting for work.

It can be said that the reason why Alexander was rated as a military **** was not that he simply picked up Darius III, but that he was assiduously attacking Kandahar from Herat, and then gathered elite to take down a wave of Campbell and then scored points. Two ways, one way to break through Khyber, all the way to attack the northern bucktra, and all won in a short time.

To be honest, the operation can no longer be said to be using a soldier as a god, but a real fairy operation. If you do n’t look at the terrain, it is a long-distance raid to strengthen the breakthrough, but with the collapse of the terrain, only It can be said that fairies are always fairies.

Now Cao Cao is attacking the Kabul River Valley. On the one hand, Cao Cao is not as mad as Alexander. On the other hand, Bei Gui is not the brahman fish before, so he can only take it slowly step by step. I will be caught.

"After all, Herat is too far away from Peshawar, and the road is rugged. The logistics pressure is too great for Beigui, so their reserve force will not be too much. 80,000 people should be the limit, although it was previously known as 20 Ten thousand, but even we would not do such a thing. "Cheng Yu explained coldly.

Even if the Han Room is rich, Chen Xi will make careful calculations when investing troops everywhere. After all, open source is very important, but cost saving is also one of the most important tasks.

Although Guishuang is not short of food, it can be transported in the river valley. After 2,000 kilometers, even Guishuang will collapse. More importantly, whether it is the Helmand River or the Kabul River, it retains the unique characteristics of Central Asia. The state of the river, that is, the carrying capacity is not large.

In this case, to what extent Guishuang was crazy, he chose to arrange 200,000 troops on the outermost Herat.

"The outer Hindu Kush Mountains are not too high. If you cross over directly, the height of four kilometers is not too outrageous, and it is not too difficult to go around." Xun Youban estimated that in fact, this height is already very It is exaggerated, after all, it is not a mountain to be crossed, but a mountain range.

"Is there a back-and-forth attack?" Cao Cao nodded. The method is very simple and easy to expose. However, there is Xun You, but you don't have to worry about the problem of exposure. Just blocking tens of thousands of expensive creams is not that simple.

"As long as Guishuang is not stupid, Herat ’s strength is more to be tested. The real battlefield should be Kandahar. After all, he traverses hundreds of kilometers of desert, and then goes to fight with Guishuang who is waiting for work in the oasis. Some are too deadly. "Xun Yu said rather disappointed.

The group of counselors under Cao Cao did not pay much attention to the difficulty of Raiders in Herat. Their biggest headaches were actually Kandahar and Kabul.

"Take down Herat first, and release the other party's possibility of attacking us at any time." Cao Cao said with a look of awe, they are now outside of Sei Stan, which is actually just right in the area of ​​the attack of your princesses in Herat.

Compared with Guishuang, which has the Kush Mountains as a cover, Cao Cao ’s squat is said to be a plateau, but it is actually a very flat plateau, and it is also a famous abandoned irrigation canal in later generations, which belongs to the eastern rest One of the best areas.

"Okay." Xun You said quietly. He has been suppressed in the country, and he can finally show his talents abroad. This kind of broken terrain, as long as the other party is not careless, the Han room has many times the strength advantage. Difficult to play out.

However, Xun You has such a strange talent, there is quite a lot of room for operation.

The movements of the Han Room in the Cestein region were quickly received by Sesika Pyre, who was based in Hetra, and yes, Sesika Pyre took Guishuang's Army Soul Corps, the Four Royal Guards Corps, and the garrison. The Barak at the Khyber Pass was all pulled to the Hetra area.

Of course, Cao Cao's side also estimated this possibility, but on the one hand, Cao Cao is unlikely to avoid it at this level. On the other hand, the Han room is really not a vegetarian. Except that Gao Lan withdrew from Sizhao City, the previous attacks were opened. The elite of Burr Pass is here.

After all, Chen Xi really did n’t dare to neglect the crippling terrain here. Cao Cao ’s combat power alone was such a place to attack. Chen Xi was really not at ease, so he pressed all the souls of the two armies here, at least on top combat power. Never lose money!

As for other aspects, it mainly depends on Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao itself will continue to grow in the war. With Cao Cao's talent, as long as there is no wave, it is not a big problem to achieve the command of the big army.

"Has the Han army moved?" Kapil said, looking at Barak sitting in the main seat.

"Yes, the Han army is really as you guessed, and is preparing to attack Herat." Barak pointed to the position, indicating that Kapil was seated. In fact, what he really wants to say is that Kapil is actually the commander, but in After transferring troops from Beigui, Kapil delivered his command position to Barak, and more assisted Barak as a staff member.

"Too far, this is not really suitable for our defense, even if the terrain has an absolute advantage, but the logistics are too long, facing the rest is OK, but facing the Han room ..." Kapil said with a headache, "but this Inevitable. "
