God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The situation that the pass was under pressure from the enemy troops not long after the main force left also caused great unrest among the Han troops stationed there.

Anyone who sees that the enemy comes to attack not long after their own army goes out will naturally not have a good idea in their mind.

However, when it comes to defending the city, Yan Yan is still quite reliable. In addition to strengthening the army's patrols and standby status, he also dispatched his main corps to be on standby, and at the same time sent relevant intelligence information to Zhang Ren and the rear personnel.

"Look at the flag on the opposite side, it should be the Kshatriya Warrior Legion. The leader of the opposing legion is Sakara, a very powerful legion with the ability to influence time. Moreover, Sakara has a very normal mind, which is somewhat different from other people's thinking concepts..." Lu Jun held up the telescope in his hand, looked at the army beyond the horizon, and told everything he knew.

"A very powerful legion? The legion commander has a normal mind..." Upon hearing this, Yan Yan murmured softly to himself, then remembered the pass here and frowned.

There were not many soldiers belonging to the Han Empire army in this pass.

Apart from Yan Yan's own Dongzhou soldiers, only the army under Yang Ren was considered elite. As for the other soldiers, they were just regular soldiers, and half of them were even servants.

Even though he had undergone a lot of training, he was still only able to fight on a battlefield of this magnitude. He wouldn't collapse immediately, but he wasn't that strong either.

In this situation, there are only a little over 100,000 troops at the pass, and they have to defend the city by force. Not to mention that the enemy only has one legion, even if there are a few more, they can hold out for a long time. Therefore, Yan Yan did not feel too much pressure in defending the city.

The vassal army is also an army. If they really want to defend a pass, they can hold on even if it is a pass that was built not long ago.

However, what really gave Yan Yan a headache was the approach of Rahul's army. Being able to see them directly from the pass meant that the distance between the two sides had been shortened to within fifteen miles.

It was not that he was afraid that this army would directly attack the city, but that he realized that this army directly blocked Zhang Ren's way to retreat to the east.

If the opponent only had this one legion, Yan Yan would dare to lead his troops out of the city and kill the enemy here.

Don't ignore the regular soldiers and ordinary troops. With two or three elite troops as support, it won't be that difficult to wipe out an Imperial Guard, even if the opponent is the Central Imperial Guard.

"He's indeed very clear-headed. If we really use a large army to wipe them out, the other party will definitely run away. We can even rule out the possibility that they are bait. After all, this pass was built too late, and it is not impossible to break it down by force..." Faced with this situation, Lu Jun only explained the current situation and the possible choices the other party might make.

The Wenjia area is a very special place. In addition to its extremely developed water network, there is another very unfavorable factor, which is its flat terrain.

It covers an extremely vast area, has numerous water flows and a flat terrain, which together make it very suitable for agricultural cultivation.

From the perspective of agriculture and the country, it is indeed a very important existence. For the people of Yizhou, it is naturally a place they are unwilling to give up.

I didn't touch this place at the beginning, not only because I didn't know much about it, but also because my arms couldn't reach that far.

After operating in South and Central Asia for a period of time, I discovered the uniqueness of this place.

Especially for the Li family of Yizhou, the water network layout of this place and why the terrain is so flat, is there any simpler requirement than this?
If technology is not a problem, then many things will not be a problem either.

Whether it was because of greed, pride, or the strength shown by Zhang Ren, it prompted a group of people to increase resources to build this place. However, the special nature of this place made everyone no fool.

Continuing westwards is the Kushan Empire, a not-so-friendly hostile state.

Although the opponent has never won a war, its strength is not weak, it’s just that its reaction speed is slow.

In this situation, if you want to completely take over this place, you naturally have to be prepared.

After on-site observation and consideration by Zhang Song and others, it was finally decided to rebuild the pass in the Wenjia area.

The reason why large cities were not built was, on the one hand, there was a lack of time and manpower, and on the other hand, there were too few subjects belonging to the Han Empire, and the cost outweighed the gains.

The water conservancy layout of this place relies on the mountains in the east. It only needs to build two large cities to rely on each other, so that this area can be clamped tightly and the Kushan Empire will not have any opportunity to take advantage of it.

It can be said that as long as the city is established, this place will be stable and it will be impossible to be taken away again.

In such a flat and wide area, without any city to rely on, the outcome would be decided by just one battle. It would be an all-in war for both the Kushan Empire and the Han Empire.

The winner will be able to take over this large piece of land, and the loser will only be a loser.

But if we can build a city in this place, then there will be a possibility of continuing even if we lose.

This is also the reason why, after learning that the Kushan Empire was fully prepared, Zhang Song and others went all out, and even if they failed to actually build a city, they were determined to forcibly create a pass.

Because of the existence of this pass and these walls that look like city walls, people's hearts can be comforted to a great extent, and it can even be justified to recruit vassal troops and reduce the pressure on the other side.

"We're in trouble. The opponent is a bit arrogant in this position, but we have to admit that his ability to seize opportunities is excellent." Yan Yan's face became heavier after retracting his gaze, and there was more caution in his eyes when he looked at Sakara.

"The Kshatriya Warrior Corps is not only extremely powerful, but also has a strong ability to navigate terrain. They can travel through mountains and rivers and are invincible. To a certain extent, the combat effectiveness that the enemy can display in this area will be even stronger..." Lu Jun explained the special terrain-navigation ability of the Kshatriya Warrior Corps.

This ability to ignore rivers and water surfaces and pass through them is really suitable in the Wenjia area.

Because this place not only has a lot of water and rivers, but the wading area is also terrifyingly high.

However, most armies do not have such wading and terrain-crossing capabilities, and their mobility and movement capabilities will be affected, reducing their combat effectiveness.

In such a comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Kshatriya warrior corps has been improved.
