God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

On the other side, Zhang Ren, who was also retreating, although he had no talent to maintain organization, the soldiers under his command did not collapse and still maintained a fairly high level of order.

In fact, for the vast majority of soldiers, they did not think of themselves as failures at all, but rather as successes.

The enemy's army was crushed head-on, and the enemy's commander-in-chief even retreated with his flag.

Defeating the enemy head-on and then retreating calmly, can this also be called a defeat?
Are you kidding me?
It’s just that their invincible General Zhang doesn’t want to continue to fight with the opponent, otherwise they will lose?
Just thinking about it, most soldiers don't think they will lose.

Facing a legion whose entire members had practiced Qigong, they killed nearly 1/3 of their people. As long as the enemy did not retreat, they would definitely be able to wipe them out.

Facing such an unprecedented legion, to be able to achieve this level, doesn't this prove how powerful their generals are?

If there is any shortcoming, it is probably that the general's talent lasts for too short a time.

Although the fighting had apparently lasted for more than an hour, in reality all the soldiers felt that the difference was too great.

There is a world of difference between Zhang Ren who shines and Zhang Ren who does not.

With the brilliance of Zhang Ren, he is invincible. There is no opponent that he cannot defeat and no enemy that he cannot defeat.

As for Zhang Ren, who has lost his brilliance, it will require generals at all levels to deal with him as appropriate.

It was precisely because of such prerequisites that Zhang Ren's army, which was clearly retreating and being hunted, was no less fast than Yan Yan when it came to running.

In the past, this orderly retreat would have been considered the behavior of a famous general.

However, Rahul did not feel afraid in the face of the Han army's behavior, even though the other side had the ability to counterattack at any time, he did not worry at all.

After a real fight and knowing the opponent's ability, Rahul completely let go of the burden in his heart and led his army to pursue the enemy without concealing his hostility and malice.

Anyway, the enemy would never be his match on a frontal battlefield. In this case, he would just lead the army to crush them head-on. This would increase the army's morale and combat effectiveness, demonstrate the majesty and dignity of the Kushan Empire, and let the Han Empire understand that as both are empires, they are not weak at all!
Rahul started the pursuit in the afternoon and continued until the next afternoon. He led his large army to drive the Yizhou army out of the Wenge area. He even united his forces and forcibly occupied the fortress city built by the Han Empire in the Wenge area.

Afterwards, Rahul led a large army and stationed it directly to the west of the Arakan Mountains, looking at the Arakan Mountains indifferently.

After observing the mountain range from his own perspective, Rahul couldn't help but frown.

The mountains stretch from north to south, and their length reaches thousands of miles. Most importantly, the altitude is not low, and there are very few routes for marching.

And there are basically pass points of the Han army on these few routes.

Although it was not impossible to take it, the price of a forced attack would not be low at all, especially after Rahul had no idea after taking a pass without taking any casualties.

After all, he didn't know what kind of land was behind these mountains?
Is it as the rumors say, with endless mountains and difficult roads to travel, or is it a bright and open place, a good place to grow crops?
If it is the former, then the significance of completion is not great. After all, even if it is captured, it will be difficult to continue the attack, and it is even possible to be defeated by the enemy due to logistical reasons.

But if it is the latter, then the hard conditions for attacking are very high. Having a place with sufficient supplies is an alternative option, whether it is attacking or defending.

"General Rahul, will our army continue to attack?" Gars wiped the dust off his face, took a look at the captured pass, his face did not look very good, and he spoke as calmly as possible.

In order to capture a pass with less than 3,000 soldiers stationed there, they suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, especially since the enemy was not elite.

The casualty ratio is too serious. If we really want to take all the passes, we may have to send in 100,000 people.

It’s not that I care about the life and death of these 100,000 people, but judging purely from a value perspective, this behavior is totally not worth it.

The price of losing 100,000 elite troops and capturing some passes whose usefulness is uncertain is really too high.

Especially in these passes, there are no remaining main forces of the Han army, otherwise it would be even more difficult to fight.

"Use this pass as a base and take a rest for a while. Pass the corresponding battle reports to the rear and let them make a decision. By the way, think of a way to find out what the situation is like to the east of this mountain range. I need an accurate answer." Out of careful calculation, Rahul finally gave the order.

Even if the road east of the mountain range is really smooth, Rahul must understand how long the mountain range is, how difficult it is to march, how difficult it is to supply food, etc.

Only in this way can the final personnel of the marching troops be planned.

Although doing this would waste a few days, Rahul was very self-aware and knew that these days would definitely not delay his thoughts and plans.

The Han army suffered heavy losses. In just a few days, the most they could do was stabilize the morale of the army and recruit some auxiliary troops, but it would not cause any transformation of the army.

As long as the number of elite troops remains unchanged, we couldn't defeat him before and we won't be able to defeat him in the future.

Moreover, after experiencing this war, Rahul is more aware of how many troops under his command have undergone transformation and their overall combat effectiveness has been greatly increased.

The morale and willpower boost brought by defeating the invincible Han army was no less than the results of a year's training.

It can be said that with this elite army in hand, Rahul is confident that he can compete with the royal troops and has a good chance of winning.

However, some things cannot be said after all. At least for Rahul, who supported Vasudeva I, he did not think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

The army he trained ultimately served Vasudeva I, not him personally, nor the Brahmins.

It can be said that with this prerequisite, the effect created will naturally be completely different.

It didn't take Vasudeva I, who was staying in Peshawar, too long to receive the long-awaited war report, a report that would influence the country's future strategic planning.

Whether we win or lose, it will change the future of the country...
