Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Theoretically speaking, in the inhumane terrain of Beigui, as long as the guard is not careless? You will overlook something.

That's right, it was Xun You who was talking about. Xun You's spiritual talent can cover certain things, making people naturally ignore the covered things.

This kind of covered thing can be a person, an army, or even a strategic key point. However, the tragedy of Xun You is that even with such a heaven-defying talent, he can't beat Chen Xi in the Central Plains. It's not about restraint. The problem is Chen Xi's way, which cannot be solved by this method of stealing the house.

So much so that it is obviously the top talent, and it can even make the opponent ignore its own strategic key points, but it has no effect at all in the Central Plains.

"Can it be overwritten?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked.

If a legion can be completely covered, the difficulty of attacking Herat will be reduced rapidly, and after taking Herat, the situation will no longer be that Guishuang blocked the Kabul Valley and can attack Cao at any time. Instead, Cao Cao blocked the entrance to the Kabul River Valley, and the Sestan area behind it was completely turned into a safe zone.

"I've already covered part of the legion. As long as you're careful, Guishuang is unlikely to notice, but that's not enough." Xun You said expressionlessly, "We must have a legion from Herat. The Hindu Kush Mountains go over there."

The place of Herat belongs to the third largest city in Afghanistan in later generations. It is considered one of the key positions to enter India from the north. It is located on the outskirts of the Hindu Kush Mountains and the middle reaches of the Heli River, which belongs to the Helmand River system. .

The reason for saying this water system is that the Kabul Valley is the main channel to enter India. The first half of the valley is not the valley formed by the Kabul River, but the valley of the Helmand River. The important passages of the Indian plains are generally called the Kabul Valley.

In fact, if I really want to say, the length of the valley belonging to the Kabul River is only five or six hundred kilometers, while the length of the valley belonging to the Helmand River is more than one thousand kilometers. The winding detours add up to nearly two thousand kilometers.

This is a crushing logistics line. If it weren't for the fact that this waterway can really transport food, Alexander couldn't get in even if he opened it.

By the way, the reason why India didn't build the city wall here before is that the logistics line of 2,000 kilometers can really drag people to death. Even if the waterway can transport food, the direction of the water flow determines the degree of logistics explosion. Generally speaking Drag drag and die.

It can be said that Herat is the first focus of this road, but this place is too far away for Guishuang itself. Even if it can transport food by water, the distance is still very frustrating, especially in this place. It involves a very troublesome place, that is, the area between Kandahar and Herat is directly a desert!

This desert is called the Lezistan Desert in later generations. It is not big, and it is not even mentioned in most world-class deserts, but even so, this thing is a desert over 300 kilometers long, which is worse. Yes, this desert is surrounded by a bunch of mountains several thousand 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, which is about 1,000 meters above sea level, and the north of Kandahar is the Hindu Kush Mountains, and the south is the Suleiman Mountains. It can be said that if you want to fight Kandahar, you must first rush through the desert. Then fight at the angle between the mountains, and the logistics and morale in the middle are all problems.

After passing through these two levels, continue walking along the valley until you reach a relatively open place where you can farm, which is Kabul.

This is the terrain of Afghanistan known as the cemetery of empires, where whoever comes and who dies, it can be said that any empire that failed to take down a vital point without any twists and turns in the middle, all exited this broken place in embarrassment, because it was too It's hard to beat.

This is also the reason why Xun Yu insisted on going step by step after seeing the terrain. If he made a strong attack, if he failed once, it would basically mean that all the previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, the terrain was super unfriendly to the attacker, and there were only three places where he could rest.

If you take down any vital point, if you want to attack the next vital point, you either have to go over mountains and ridges for hundreds of miles, and then cross hundreds of miles of desert to carry out a strong attack, or you have to go east and west in river valleys and go all the way across mountains and ridges for nearly a thousand miles. Then fight against the opponent who is waiting for work.

It can be said that the reason why Alexander was rated as the god of war was not that he simply cleaned up Darius III, but that he attacked Kandahar from Herat in one go, and then gathered elites to take down Kabul in one wave, and then divided the troops. Two ways, breaking through Khyber all the way, attacking Bhaktra in the north all the way, and all of them were won in a short time.

To be honest, that operation can no longer be said to be like using soldiers like a god, but a real fairy operation. If you don't look at the terrain, it is just a long-distance attack, strengthening the attack breakthrough, but combined with the crashing terrain, only It can be said that gods will always be gods.

Now it's Cao Cao's attack on the Kabul Valley. On the one hand, Cao Cao is not as mad as Alexander, and on the other hand, Beigui is not like the brahmans before, so he can only take it step by step slowly. You will be caught by yourself.

"After all, Herat is too far away from Peshawar, and the road is rugged, and the logistical pressure is too great for Beigui, so they will not reserve too many troops, and 80,000 people should be the limit, although it was previously claimed to be 200,000 Ten thousand, but even we wouldn't do such a thing." Cheng Yu explained indifferently.

Even if the Han Dynasty was rich, Chen Xi would plan carefully when investing troops everywhere. After all, although increasing income is very important, reducing expenditure is also one of the very important tasks.

Although Guishuang said that there is no shortage of food, you can transport grain in the river valley. After two thousand kilometers, even Guishuang will collapse. More importantly, whether it is the Helmand River or the Kabul River, both the Helmand River and the Kabul River retain the unique characteristics of Central Asia. The state of the river, that is, the carrying capacity is not large.

In this case, Guishuang must go crazy to choose to deploy 200,000 troops in the outermost Herat.

"The surrounding Hindu Kush Mountains are not too high. If you climb directly, the height of 4,000 meters is not too outrageous, and it is not too difficult to go around." Xun You said half-estimated, in fact, this height is already very high. Exaggerated, after all, it is not a mountain to climb, but a mountain range.

"Are you attacking back and forth?" Cao Cao nodded. The method is very simple, and it is easy to expose, but with Xun You, there is no need to worry about exposure. It is not that simple to block tens of thousands of Guishuang's elite.

"As long as Guishuang is not stupid, Herat's troops are more for probing. The real battlefield should be Kandahar. After all, it is true to go across hundreds of kilometers of desert, and then go to fight Guishuang who is waiting for work in the oasis." Some are too fatal." Xun Yu said rather disappointed.

The group of counselors under Cao Cao didn't care much about the difficulty of conquering the Herat area. Their biggest headache was actually Kandahar and Kabul.

"Take Herat first, to prevent the opponent from attacking us at any time." Cao Cao said solemnly. They are now on the periphery of Sestan, and they are actually within the attack range of Guishuang soldiers in Herat.

And compared to Guishuang, which has the Hindu Kush Mountains as a cover, the place where Cao Cao is now squatting is said to be a plateau, but in fact it is a very flat plateau, and it is also a famous abandoned irrigation canal in later generations, belonging to the east of Anxi One of the best areas.

"Okay." Xun You said silently. He has been suppressed at home, and he can finally show his talents abroad. As long as the opponent is not careless, even if the Han Dynasty has several times the strength advantage Difficult to play out.

But with Xun You's weird talent, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

The movement of the Han Dynasty in the Sestan area was quickly received by Ceci Kapil, who was sitting in Hetra. Yes, Cece Kapil sent Guishuang's Army Soul Legion, the four royal guards, and the garrison Barak in 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, and on the other hand, the Han Dynasty is really not a vegetarian. The elite of Burr Pass are all here.

After all, Chen Xi really didn't dare to ignore the shattering terrain here. Chen Xi was really not at ease in attacking such a place with Cao Cao's combat power alone, so he put all the two army souls here, at least in terms of top combat power. You will never suffer!

As for other aspects, it mainly depends on Cao Cao to operate. After all, Cao Cao himself will continue to grow in the war. With Cao Cao's talent, as long as he doesn't make waves, it is not a big problem to become the commander of the army.

"Has the Han army made any moves?" Kapil looked at Barak who was sitting in the main seat and said,

"Yes, the Han army is really as you guessed, preparing to attack Herat." Barak pointed to the position and motioned for Kapil to take a seat. In fact, Kapil is actually the commander in chief, but in After the transfer of troops from Beigui, Kapil handed over his position as commander-in-chief to Barak, and assisted Barak more as a staff officer.

"It's too far away. It's actually not suitable for us to defend here. Even if the terrain has an absolute advantage, the logistics are too long. It's okay to face Anxi, but it's okay to face the Han Dynasty..." Kapil said with some headaches, "But this War is inevitable."
