Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Sometimes, the only thing that is needed for success is hard work, but more often, luck is the only thing that is needed for success.

For example, this time, Fuward had good luck. Before Fuward realized that his previous tricks had forced the Han local militia in the Yanbian area of ​​Xinzhou to shrink, he had left a way out for himself, who should have been difficult to retreat.

"Go down to Tibet, then go up to Tibet?" Assam looked at Masinde with some doubts, not realizing the difference.

"Well, before, Fuward could only choose to enter the mountainous area in northern Tibet. He had no other choice, because if he didn't enter the mountainous area, he would be wiped out by the Qiang people sooner or later." Masinde said with some admiration for Fuward's luck.

"The Qiang people also know this, so there will inevitably be a battle in front of the northern Tibetan mountains, and this battle cannot be avoided no matter how fast Fuward runs. At most, if he runs fast, the losses will be smaller, but if he runs slowly, the losses will be huge, or even the whole army will be wiped out. There is basically no possibility of avoiding the battle." Masinde pointed to the Qiang blockade circle on the map and said.

Although Lin Dai and others did not tell Masinde about their plan, Masinde has been fooling around with this group of people for several years and has a clear understanding of their abilities and thinking.

Therefore, Masinde only needs to consider the Qiang people's abilities and the mobilization capabilities they have shown before, and he can roughly determine what the Qiang people's strategic and tactical structure will be.

"The battle here is absolutely unavoidable." Masinde pointed seriously at a plain in front of the northern Tibetan mountains. "As long as Fuward passes the blockade and enters the Qiangtang grassland, the Qiang people in the second encirclement will gather here. The camel riders have an advantage in physical fitness, but they need to cross most of the Qiangtang grassland after all, and the Qiang people have several teams very close to here."

What's wrong with running fast? The Qiang people in the second encirclement need to march a short distance, and the camel riders deliberately set up a false formation, first going south and then north, passing the first layer and entering the Qiangtang grassland, which obviously means they want to enter the northern Tibetan mountains.

Unless Fuward has the spare energy to play another battle line shuttle and lead his elite troops from south to north, the problem is that the first time he did this was a surprise, and the second time he could do it when the Qiang people were on guard, the difficulty would be explosively increased.

After all, the Qiang people are not fools. Moreover, after Fuward went south, the 50,000 or 60,000 Qiang people who built the first layer of encirclement also chose to go north. The battle lines would overlap. In this case, Fuward could still shuttle from north to south...

To be honest, there is no need to chase, which means that Fuward can accurately grasp the deployment of the Qiang people. To be able to grasp the opponent's deployment so accurately is an ability that only the god of war has.

"So there must be a battle here. Fuward must gather all his strength because this battle is inevitable. As long as he wants to go through the northern Tibetan mountains, he can only fight." Masinde pointed to a place before the northern Tibetan mountains and said, "And he needs to quickly defeat this blockade, otherwise the main force of Lin Dai, one man and three horses, will arrive and die."

Why is it said that walking on the Karakoram Mountain Road is a life-or-death struggle? In addition to the problem of the mountain road itself, the blockade of the Qiang people is also a huge problem, which is the kind that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Just like now, Sidney jumped out of the first layer of encirclement in the best posture, and it was inevitable that about one-fifth of the troops were lost during this period. Of course, this one-fifth was not all dead. The problem is that in this kind of pursuit battle, after being injured, there is no mobility, what is the difference between waiting to die.

Even if these people were ready to die on the way back when they set out, when they were injured and could not keep up with the team and were forced to stay, it is impossible to say that there was no resentment, and this is how one-fifth of the troops were reduced.

Then when jumping out of the first layer of encirclement, Sidney's luck was very good. He only encountered a group of young Qiang people near the Qiangtang grassland. After launching the first attack, Fu Ward successfully arrived before the Qiang reinforcements. The two sides attacked from the front and back and quickly defeated the young Qiang people.

But during this period, more than 300 soldiers were lost. As for the minor injuries, there was no need to calculate them at this time. After such a wave, Fu Ward and Sidney completed the victory and jumped out of the first encirclement. When they successfully arrived at Qiangtang, there were only more than 4,000 soldiers left.

It can be said that Fu Ward has successfully completed his plan, but the difficulty of returning to Kushan only began to be calculated at this moment.

"In short, under normal circumstances, Fu Ward led the camel cavalry to go back from the Karakoram Mountain Road. The difficulty he needs to face will far exceed his estimation. Although he is mentally prepared, the real process of turning back will make him despair of his judgment." Masinde explained with some emotion, "And in this situation, the despair of the legion commander will only lead to death."

Masinde believes in Fu Ward's ability. Even if the other party is desperate, he will still hold on to retreat to Kushan with this group of camel cavalry who believe in him, and will firmly maintain his state, but his belief or disbelief sometimes brings great changes.

"But this is just the normal situation." Masinde sighed and said, "Normally, you have to go directly to the northern Tibetan mountains from here, but now it is not a normal situation. Now Fuward can take a detour and go a little northeast, go directly to the Tibetan area, go to Xinzhou, and then go up from here to the northern Tibetan mountains. In this way, you can directly bypass the blockade of the Qiang people."

Assam looked at Masinde's gestures on the map. Although the strategic and tactical aspects were not very good, with Masinde's hands-on guidance, Assam quickly realized the advantages of this operation. It seemed dangerous, but in essence it was the same as the previous southward movement. In fact, it was just a time difference.

"Well, can I ask a question?" Assam stared at the map and understood Fuward's operation of going down to Tibet and then going up to Tibet, but looking at this map, Assam had some other ideas.

"I'm curious. Since you can take advantage of the enemy corps of the Han army in Yanbian to shrink the Tibetan area, why don't you take advantage of this time to go to Khotan and cross the Pamirs to enter Central Asia?" Masinde didn't even need Assam to speak to realize what the other party wanted to ask.

"Because it's impossible, it's not a big problem to go through the old land of Khotan, we still have some influence there, but it's basically impossible to go through the Pamirs, there are not many routes there, and they are all blocked by the Qiang people led by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. If Fu Ward goes there, it's like throwing meat buns at dogs, there's no way back." Ma Xinde sighed and said, "Don't say that Fu Ward is half-crippled now, even if he was in his prime, he would be beaten to death if he wanted to pass under the eyes of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Of course, Ma Xinde didn't say a very important point, that is, Xiliang There are many Qiang people in the Congling area where the Iron Cavalry is stationed. They were once the Great Yuezhi spies who converted there, and they were also spies sent by Fu Ward to naturalize in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It may be difficult for these people to catch others, but catching Fu Ward...

Maybe they are more confident than Fu Ward himself, so realistically speaking, going through the Congling is a dead end. If the Congling is possible, Fu Ward would not consider the Karakoram Corridor and would just go through the Congling directly. That is the official road, the route that normal merchants often take, and there will be no passage for non-combat casualties.

But can it be taken? No!

Han Empire merchants went there and nothing happened, but Fu Ward went there and he would definitely lose his head.

To put it bluntly, even if Fu Ward was lucky enough to pass through the Congling, the Qiang people fooling around on the Turan grassland would be enough to knock Fu Ward off his head.

Compared with the Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang in Tibet, there are the Bai Qiang led by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the Turan Grassland. They can really fight against Fuward, and their mobility ranks among the top cavalry.

They are numerous, can fight, and can call for support at any time. If Fuward went in at his peak, he would probably be hammered to death. Now this infantry of less than 5,000 people will just be sent to death. So it is completely nonsense to expect to go to the lower Tibet area, go through Xinzhou, and return to Kushan through the Pamirs.

Therefore, we can only go through the existing passages in Tibet, and the Karakoram Corridor is relatively easy to go among these passages.

"Oh, in this case, it is indeed luck. If it weren't for the recent incident, it would be really difficult for Fuward to rush out. But as you said, avoiding the battle in northern Tibet, going to Tibet first, and then going to Tibet before Xinzhou reacts, and finally facing only the harsh natural environment." Assam said with a tone of admiration.

Again, although Assam did not want to use Fuward's head as a stepping stone to advance, but with a way out, Assam still hoped that Fuward could leave successfully. Human beings are creatures, sometimes the mentality is complicated and difficult to describe.

"Yes, compared with the pursuit and interception of the Qiang people, the harsh natural environment actually has a much smaller impact on the camel cavalry." Masinde nodded and said, "The combat effectiveness of the camel cavalry is there, and the harsh natural environment of the Karakoram Corridor cannot stop the camel cavalry."

The Karakoram Corridor is indeed difficult to walk, especially in the current Little Ice Age, normal people cannot pass through there directly, but the elites under the camel cavalry are not normal people themselves.

To put it bluntly, as a top-level legion that can be called on the battlefield of the empire, it has experienced several years of adaptation at an altitude of thousands of meters like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and its combat effectiveness has been improved compared to that year. If the harsh natural environment of the Karakoram Corridor can destroy such a legion, then the top elite is still called the top elite, that's funny.

The real reason why Fuward's camel cavalry survived a narrow escape was simple. Too few people, the Qiang people who could appear at any time, and the most important and inevitable final battle, all of which led to Fuward winning the last blockade of the Qiang people, but he could not bring in much food and grass.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, after entering the northern Tibetan mountainous area, Fuward's camel cavalry was in a state of lack of food and clothing. In the absence of sufficient logistical supplies, they rushed into the Karakoram Corridor. To be honest, Masinde felt that they could get through a little bit, which was already because the camel cavalry was really strong enough. If there was any lack of strength, Masinde would not be optimistic.

"And now, if this battle can be avoided, even if Fuward will be hunted down later, the food and grass materials and medicines he carried can still support him through the Karakoram Corridor." Masinde made the final summary, "To be honest, this is really luck, and it has little to do with ability. Before I launched the attack, Fuward could not realize the changes in the recent situation."

Assam nodded slowly, his expression unchanged, but anyone with a discerning eye could still see that he was still in a pretty good mood.

On the Qiangtang Prairie, Fulward and Sidney, who were covered in blood, successfully reunited. Both sides laughed when they saw that there were still 80% of the troops under their command.

"Let's go, before the Qiang people come, quickly retreat to the mountainous area of ​​northern Tibet. Once we get there, it will be impossible for the Qiang people to block us any longer even if they want to." Fulward looked at his soldiers with an excited look. He ordered that being able to cross the first layer of Qiang encirclement so easily and so successfully was a great boost to Fulward's self-confidence, and the slight self-doubt he had originally had quickly dissipated.

"Well, retreat quickly. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the Qiang people will catch up." Sidney looked at Fulward's cheeks, which were obviously a little dark and red due to the plateau environment, and smiled. He was willing to take risks just for this. Fulward, as for the Kushan Empire, after the five nobles of the Great Yuezhi chose to put down their centuries-long cherished wish, the concept of country has very little place in Sidney's heart.

After the two parties merged, they took a short rest, cooked the yak, and had a hot soup, and then went out with confidence. For Fulward, there may be more difficult blockades ahead, but this hot soup It is indispensable. This meal is enough to keep the morale of the Camel Riders fairly good for a longer period of time. Without this meal, the Camel Riders, who have to eat cold food all the way and run around, will win the battle. How long can it last?

"Turn off the secret technique that hides us. Our march route is already clear. Regardless of whether the Qiang war eagles can see us or not, they will probably converge towards the northern Tibetan mountainous area under the leadership of the Qiang heads. Then A battle is inevitable." Fulward led the camel cavalry to march quickly, and while moving forward, he followed Sidney to discuss the next situation.

"That's true." Sidney nodded, "After we defeated that group of Qiang people, it won't take long for the main force of the Qiang people to receive the news. Now we have to evacuate as soon as possible. The sooner we encounter the Qiang people in the end, The weaker the people’s blocking power.”

Fulward nodded. This was also his judgment. It was also the reason why he had to have a good meal before starting the forced march. This meal of meat and vegetables was very meaningful to the current situation, even if such behavior would further Exposing their intentions, but now, it doesn't matter anymore.

"The most difficult time will come next." Fulward looked at Sidney seriously, and Sidney smiled. Does he care about the difficulty? After losing the belief that supported him to move forward for decades, Sidney no longer has any fear of death, let alone for Ward, there is nothing to fear, so the difficulties are over. What.

"The Qiang people have a strong will. They were ambushed by me and the general seized the opportunity to attack from both sides. Under such circumstances, they were still able to fight to the death. It was not until they lost 40% that they collapsed. , This kind of will is indeed a bit difficult to control," Sidney said with a serious expression as he looked ahead.

Fulward was silent for a while after hearing this. It was thanks to the basic quality of the Qiang people that they were not qualified to talk about their will to the camel riders. Otherwise, as long as they were stronger and the camel riders could not fight quickly, these Qiang people might be able to hold on and die in the battle. 90% of the young people are here to fight against Fulward.

The fact that the Qiang people were defeated was not because they lacked willpower, but more directly. The camel riders were much better than the Qiang people and could quickly kill the young Qiang people. As a result, the Qiang people's size dropped to a certain level. , there is no way to block the camel riding, and there is no way to delay the time. If you continue to fight, you will only lose your life in vain, so the leader here can only choose to break up and run away, leaving behind a useful body, and then hunt down.

That's right, the Qiang people who had suffered such huge damage did not lose their fighting spirit. Even if they broke up and ran away, it was just to gather with more Qiang people and then continue to hunt Fulward.

In other words, as long as they can fight, this group of Qiang people don't care how much they lose. After all, Lin Dai has paid his pension in advance. This group of people are also ready to die in battle, but they were ambushed again before. Being attacked from the front and back, the combat effectiveness could not be used, and it was impossible to effectively block and block them, so they had to choose to break up and run away.

However, even so, after running away, this group of people quickly contacted their teammates in other directions and asked them to form a new team to chase Fulward.

In the royal capital of Xiangxiong, Lindai received news from the leader who was conducting a blockade south of the Qiangtang Grassland. Five thousand Qiang people were defeated, with losses close to two thousand. The team's organizational structure was shattered.

Lindai didn't feel any distress about this. After all, when he came to fight this battle, he was prepared for fifty or sixty thousand people to die, so a mere two thousand people were not worth the heartache. On the contrary, Fuwo was determined to die. The location and area of ​​Germany's main force are very important.

"Yang Pu, you lead the elite cavalry north to pursue Fuwode, and then use the letter eagle to notify the blockade forces near the northern Tibetan mountains to move closer to the Qiangtang grassland and the northern Tibetan mountains, and carry out the final blockade of Fuwode." As Masinde estimated, he quickly made the right judgment.

"Yes." Yang Pu replied loudly. He had realized that Lindai was accumulating merit for him and preparing for him to inherit the position of leader. Although this succession would take many years, he was allowed to get involved with the Tibetan Qiang people. The biggest trump card is enough to explain a lot of problems.

"Do your best to catch up with Fu Ward." Lin Dai solemnly warned Yang Pu before he set off, "Once the other party enters the mountainous area of ​​northern Tibet, we will not be able to catch up."

The difficulty of marching in the mountainous area is very high. The quality of the Qiang people is not as good as that of the camel cavalry. The terrain makes it impossible to deploy and encircle Fu Ward, so that as long as Fu Ward enters the mountainous area, the Qiang people can only watch.

"I will try my best, and chief, I believe that our people will definitely fight to the death to stop Fu Ward before the mountainous area of ​​northern Tibet." Yang Pu said sincerely.

Lin Dai nodded when he heard this. It was thanks to this that if the Qiang people were not a little less desperate, Lin Dai would not have had hope of besieging and killing Fu Ward. After all, to kill Fu Ward, it really requires unity from top to bottom, plus the young and strong people in the blockade of various tribes, and fearless blocking when encountering camel cavalry. After all, the gap in hard power is there.

To put it bluntly, the Qiang people, apart from their fearless and fearless belief in serving their country, have no qualifications to face the camel cavalry. Most of the time, the quality gap between the two sides is so large that Fu Ward can say to the Qiang people that your quality is not qualified to talk about will in front of me.

There is no way. After so many years of training in Tibet, the camel cavalry has made up the last flaw, just like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who climbed the 7,000-meter high and cold mountainous area to train.

The siege and interception began again. Fu Ward went straight to the northern Tibetan mountainous area. The tribes near the northern Tibetan mountainous area and the Qiang blockade forces on the Qiangtang grassland also rushed to the northern Tibetan mountainous area as soon as they received the news.

"Gather all the young people over the age of 15 in the tribe." After receiving the news sent by Lin Dai, the leader of the Qiang tribe in the Qiangtang grassland completely ignored Zhang Ji's previous order. If 5,000 young and strong can't stop Fu Ward, then 8,000, and 8,000 is not enough, then 10,000. What's there to be afraid of? My tribe is here, recruiting soldiers on the spot, and fighting with you Fu Ward!

With this belief, the scale of the Qiang people rushing to the mountainous area in northern Tibet is getting larger and larger. The original team of 3,000 to 5,000 quickly expanded to 7,000 to 8,000.

Let's put aside the combat effectiveness first. After all, even the main elite of the Qiang people are not worthy of talking about combat effectiveness in front of Fu Ward. So realistically speaking, there is no difference between the 15-year-old and the 18-year-old Qiang people. For Fu Ward, they are all miscellaneous soldiers with a firm will to blockade.

"General, the situation is not good. We just lost three war eagles." Sidney's face was extremely ugly. The Kushan war eagles were all carefully selected, but they had not returned with intelligence until now. It was obviously lost. Considering that the war eagles belong to the top of the food chain in Tibet, it is self-evident why they did not come back.

"The main force of the Qiang people in the north, west, and south?" Fu Ward said calmly.

"Yes, in fact, there are also Qiang people coming from the east, but the distance is relatively far, and it is highly unlikely that we will encounter them. On the contrary, in the north and west, it is very likely that more than 20,000 Qiang main forces will gather before we enter the northern Tibetan mountains." Sidney said with a gloomy face.

As soon as this was said, the faces of the middle-level officers around Fu Ward were all gloomy.

The author has already run away. As for the dice, I suggest you go to the main group to ask what is going on, what is the matter with Fu Ward's dice, and how to achieve the outrageous results you said. It is better to ask. It is really embarrassing to rely on imagination alone.

For me, dice is just a way to use branching plots when the plot branches. If it is really as exaggerated as you think, a six-sided dice has a one-sixth probability that the Han Dynasty will be directly destroyed, then I will write a hammer, not to mention that I have been shaking dice for ten years, and I have been doing this all the time. The readers who just knew that I asked Yueluo to shake the dice these two days actually thought that a dice could break the plot. Sigh, am I so bad?
