God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The incessant rain covered the area with layers of dark clouds, making the sky dim, as if foreshadowing some unspeakable future.

"Every time this season comes, the weather in this place is so outrageous..." Zhang Ren felt the raindrops falling on him and agreed with the seasonal climate of this place.

Fortunately he knew it was rain, otherwise he would have really thought that he was hit by a celestial phenomenon that was misinterpreted by some people.

"With such heavy rain, do we have to postpone our attack?" Yan Yan directly took a basin from the side and handed it under the eaves, saying in a rather gentle tone.

It was raining heavily. Even if the supplies were moved away first, it could not change the difficulties of marching, various emergency situations, unexpected factors, etc.

Although marching in the rain is not a difficult thing, it is just ordinary rain. Even if it is a downpour, it is not heavy to this extent. If we force an attack, it will also damage the morale of the army.

"Notify the civil officials to adjust the weather so that the rain will stop falling in the shortest possible time. At least, try to stop falling as early as possible on the route we are marching..." Zhang Ren hesitated for a moment, and finally said so.

Although it is possible to rely on the spiritual power of civil officials to forcibly turn a rainy day into a sunny day, it is completely unnecessary in this situation.

Apart from ensuring water for crops in Central and South Asia, it is not important elsewhere.

Yan Yan briefly thought about the next step for this decision and finally agreed.

It is quite normal to fight again after the autumn harvest.

In this part of Central and South Asia, the first batch of grain is enough to complete the harvest before the end of summer, and the subsequent time can be used for the second planting or starting a war.

Thanks to its location, there will be no climate impact even in winter, and there will be no heavy snow.

In fact, if it is winter, the climate is relatively mild, which is more suitable for fighting on the battlefield and making achievements. Even as long as the speed is fast enough, it will not delay the planting of grain in the second year. It can be said to be quite good.

However, the strategic approach they decided on this time was not a quick victory.

There is no way. Looking at the vast territory and territory of the Kushan Empire, and thinking about the marching speed of their infantry, if a quick battle is to be decided, people will lose their lives.

Just the army's march would take several months at the speed of the infantry, and there was no way to meet the prerequisites.

So this is one of the reasons why we agree with Liu Ba's decision-making policy. All combat plans must be subject to the actual situation in reality.

In this regard, even Lu Qi, who was watching from the side, had no reason to speak.

On the one hand, it was indeed difficult for the empire to collapse quickly, and on the other hand, the army under Zhang Ren's command was indeed unable to do so.

In Lu Qi's memory, there have been times when he wanted to quickly defeat an empire, but that kind of quick victory was basically not affected by external factors. It was always due to serious internal problems that led to the collapse of the empire.

Including the case of Beigui, who, when the forces of both sides were of similar strength, surrendered with his troops directly, and then opened all the passes and fortresses along the way to welcome the royal army. It would be strange if other people could react in time. If faced with such a situation in real life, who could Vasudeva II turn to for justice?
So no matter how to fight, Lu Qi would not interfere with the decisions made by the frontline officers if he was sure there was no big problem. After all, everyone needs to grow up. Even if he can split himself into two, he can't carry the Han Empire alone.

The Han Dynasty now has more than a dozen states, hundreds of counties, and tens of millions of people. If all of this were placed on one person's shoulders, that person would be crushed to death!

Do the work that suits your ability. As in history, even a man as strong as Zhuge Liang could work himself to death, so don't have too much self-confidence. After all, time is limited.

However, before they had time to rest, a very outrageous piece of information spread among the soldiers on the front line.

The army sent by the Brahmins, relying on excellent mounting technology, boarded about 50 ships and sailed directly on the lake as if they were walking on flat ground, heading straight for the Venga area.

As for Zhang Ren at this time, he didn't care too much about this situation.

The boat reported by the soldiers was not very large. How many people could it carry if it could sail to the Wenjia area on the water after a heavy rain?

It has to carry not only military equipment, but also food and soldiers. Excluding the boatman, a ship carrying a hundred people is just the strength of a legion.

This level of military force is obviously just the enemy's vanguard. Given the land area and population of the Kushan Empire, it is impossible for them to deploy only such a small army. So based on this aspect, it can only be the enemy's vanguard.

It's not like they would send a small troop to die after losing the first battle.

However, Zhang Ren was still quite unhappy with the other party's attitude. How long had he arrived at the Central and South Asian Protectorate? He hadn't even fought back when the other party had already attacked, simply not taking him seriously.

To be on the safe side, even when facing the enemy's vanguard, Zhang Ren felt that he should take his troops to take a look and understand the enemy's strength first.

In any case, the troops that can become the vanguard of the army are generally the elite in the army. Even if they are not the strongest, they are the backbone of the army.

By making this calculation, we can also know the strength level of the troops dispatched by the other side.

In a single legion battle, Zhang Ren can be said to be very confident, and the mobility of his troops is also quite fast in a short time and short distance. In this kind of terrain, even if they really can't win, it would be easy to run away.

After a brief handover with Yan Yan, Zhang Ren took his army and prepared to go for a test.

Liu Tong, who switched perspectives periodically, got this information after switching to Lu Qi. Recalling Brahman's outrageous mounting technology, he went to find someone to give a hint.

As soon as they found Yan Yan, they learned that Zhang Ren had already led the army to set off three days ago, highlighting their swift action.

Faced with this situation, Lu Qi had no choice but to tell Yan Yan about it.

When Yan Yan heard this, his face changed drastically on the spot. After all, it was very easy to go wrong if he misjudged the number of enemies.

After thinking about the many generals in the camp, he immediately dispatched 50,000 soldiers to provide support and intercept the enemy to prevent them from taking advantage of this opportunity to directly attack the pass and take down the natural barrier. (End of this chapter)
