Chapter 3895: bypass
At the same time, Kapil looked at the rising Helmand River and made the same judgment as Xun You and others. Oswen has already carried out the final stage of the siege, and the victory or defeat is now.
"Urdu, Oswen has already burst the bank and flooded the upper fortress. I think the battle between us and the Han army should begin." Kapil went to inform Urdu, the commander of this road, that he is here. More of it exists as a staff member.
"Tsk, that guy Oswen is really a bit courageous, I thought the water was stored to deal with the group of people chasing after us." Urdu said with a little smile.
"Now what we have to consider is whether to slow down and wait for the arrival of the Han army, or continue to walk up the Helmand River valley." Kapil looked at Urdu and asked.
"No, I'm actually thinking about another thing." Urdu looked at Kapil and asked with some curiosity, because the plan this time went well, Urdu is now curious about who did the plan. Is it Kapil?
"What's the matter?" Kapil looked at Urdu in confusion.
"I'm wondering who made the plan this time." Urdu said casually, "By the way, find a way to contact Oswen on the upstream side to see when he can meet with us, and we can be as early as possible. Make plans."
While Urdu was thinking about how to contact the upper reaches of Oswen, Oswen looked at the river valley in front of the Han Fortress that was still submerged by the flood, and fell into deep thought. It seemed that I couldn't beat it at all. I seemed to have pitted myself to death. .
Looking at the higher place where the flood has receded, the dark brown mud made Oswen understand that even if the flood receded, he could not attack the city. This was the rhythm to be finished.
"Salman, you will lead your troops to Kabul, I will take the mountain trail to pick up Kapil and them." Although Oswen had understood his mistake at this time, as a commander, a commander who dared to take responsibility, realized it. Errors will be corrected.
"Huh?" Salman looked at Oswen with a **** expression. Are you walking the mountain trail now? I'm afraid it's not the rhythm to be finished.
"This is the only way. We can't trap Kapil and the others in the hands of the Han army, otherwise Kabul will not be able to hold." Oswen said quietly, "So, I have to go, I will take the sun knight in the past, if It's all good to be able to win."
Oswen didn’t say anything about the latter, because at this level, once you can’t win, to be honest, Guishuang’s main force in the Beigui area is basically destroyed. At that time, it’s a question of whether Beigui can hold on. Therefore, Oswen must save people.
"Are you sure you can have time?" Salman looked at Oswen solemnly. This is not a joke, but it is really possible that it is too late.
The mountain trails here are more or less known to the people in Beigui, but this kind of mountain trail is very difficult to walk. It is difficult to walk on the Helmand River side. It takes more than ten miles to walk a day. The march is over.
You can take the mountain trails, bypass the fortress, appear from the front of the fortress to the back of the fortress, the distance of this detour may take seven or eight days.
This is why, normally, the Han army and Guishuang don’t take the mountain trails in the Hindu Kush Mountains very much, because it is too pitted. Once the size of the force exceeds a certain level, your logistics transport ability will basically be able to kill the pit. , After all, not everyone is Zhuge Liang.
What's more, even Zhuge Liang, from Hanzhong to Qishan, is more on the road between the mountains, because the road is too pitted.
Think about the later generations of the West Han Expressway and even the West Han High Speed Rail. The latter takes less than two hours from Huyi District to Hanzhong, while the Fang Han Dynasty in Huyi District belongs to Shanglin Garden. This shows how much the straight-line distance is. .
However, it took several months to walk the mountain road in ancient times, with Zhuge Liang's intellect, which shows how many holes there are in the mountain road.
"Yes, let's tell Urdu that they will retreat to the fortress position as much as possible, so that I can run less, maybe I can run out in seven or eight days." Oswen said solemnly, having to admit this person. He was really persevering and determined, even if he had shaken himself in the face of the flood before, he adjusted quickly.
After all, if you think about it carefully, what's the point of the situation that the flood hindered his own plan? How many cheating things did Oswen have experienced. For example, when he was in the south, he met Guan Yu, met Zhang Fei, met Zhang Liao, and met Zhao Yun. , Encountered a series of monsters.
However, even so, he Oswen still did not waver, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, after encountering the flood that didn't work, but instead pitted himself, Oswen just stumbled for a while, and then quickly adjusted it. This person has experienced too much, and it is almost impossible to be overthrown by reality.
"Should I go with me? It should be easier for the legion under my command to pass the mountain trail than the sun knight under your command." Salman thought for a while and said.
"You couldn't solve the problem in the past." Oswen shook his head and said, "You go back to the Kabul Valley first and be prepared for defense. If we go there together, the food and logistics will also be a big trouble."
"Yes, but I don't plan to go back to Kabul. I plan to stay here, pretending that we are still watching and preparing to attack the city. This is to attract some attention to you." Salman said with a smile, relatively speaking, His brain is better than Oswen.
Of course, there is another meaning of this. It doesn’t make any sense for me to retreat to the Kabul Valley. If I go back and you fail, then no matter how much defense I am, I will fail. It’s better to be here and contain the Han army on the fortress side. Your attention will make you a little easier.
Perhaps this is really only one percent, but at this time, even the slightest possibility, Salman also values it very much.
"Yes." Oswen said with a smile, very free and easy, "I went to fight Cao Jun to the death, and I will solve the things that I did by myself. Fortunately, I have three talents under my command. After the sky has changed, there should be some surplus. Do something for Kapil and the others."
The handover between Oswen and Salman was completed, and they swore on the upper reaches of the Helmand River.
"Everyone who is here should know me." Oswen said with a smile looking at the soldiers under his command. "Next we need to complete a task. This task is most likely to fail. To be honest, I am a person. I don’t like to deceive you. Half of you also have wives and sons. It’s too sad to die in lies."
"So I tell you what I'm going to do, you choose." Oswen stood on the boulder, standing straight, like a spear pierced into the sky, "Some of you are following me out of Beigui. I have fought in the South and I understand my weakness, but no matter how weak or weak, some people will always do some things. This time, we need to walk the mountain trail to rescue the Imperial Scepter."
Oswen explained the difficulty of this tactic in detail, because it was different from the previous plan of the Imperial Scepter to bypass Hindu Kush. At that time, Guishuang had a lot of preparation time, so the mountain trails that the group of people in Urdu took were sometimes Of grain reserves.
But this time, Oswen could only bring his own grain and grass, but bringing his own grain and grass would seriously slow down the march, so how much grain and grass he brought became the core point of this plan.
"Ten days, we can only bring ten days of food and grass, which means that we have passed, and we can only come back if we win. You have followed me for many years. You should know that I am not the kind of invincible star. I have a lot of failures. , My comrade-in-arms, Robeze, and there are not a few people who die by my side. I can only live with better luck." Oswen looked at the soldiers under his command with great calmness.
Oswen is not talking nonsense about this. Deepak, Gavin, and Ghachori are all generals who are stronger than him in Oswen’s view. They don’t mention the legendary Arvind, but they are all He died, and in the end it was him who shouldered Beigui's defense.
"It may take about eight days to walk the mountain path around the fortress in front of you. So once we pass, we can’t win or save the Imperial Scepter, so we won’t be able to return. This is a high probability that we will fail. Failure is inevitable. A mission that will die, so I don't force you to stand on the right side with me, and stay where you are unwilling." Oswen said calmly.
Oswen is a solid man, so he didn't say anything that he was willing to stay in place with him in the past, and he didn't want to make such a statement.
No one moved, Oswen sighed, thinking that it was the case, and then someone looked up at Oswen, "General, are you going there?"
"Even if you don't have any of you, I will pass. I, even if you are defeated, you only need to watch how you lose." Oswen was very calm, the more than eight thousand backbones lined up below began to commotion, and then someone smiled miserably. , After following Oswen for so many years, the general knew that he would go to death if he was defeated. What is so great about me.
The first, the second, and the third. Soon a large number of Sun Knight backbones were separated from the team, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, and finally a small half-soldier separated from the eight thousand people abruptly. Standing on the right side of Oswen.
Among these people are the elite backbones who followed Oswen to Nangui, and the iron rods added later, as well as the veterans who have spent many years in the Beiguishan area. These people are strong and weak. The strong have three talents, and the weak. Also has the strength of dual talents.
But for Oswen, no matter how strong or weak, there is one more person, there is more hope.
"Salman, record everyone's names, and engrave them on the stone tablet." Osven has a certain kind of fact lingering on him, making Salman feel awed.
"Yes!" Salman bowed slightly to salute Oswen.
