God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

No one present discussed the idea that a small group of people could travel light and reach their destination in a short time.
Even Guan Yu did not have a similar idea, nor did he have the thought that it could save people in a critical moment.

There are many reasons for this, including the enemy being too numerous and too elite, and the fact that sending a small number of personnel to provide support would be largely ineffective.

Although both were armies under the Han Empire, their actual combat and command systems were quite different, making it very difficult to merge them in a short period of time.

If this cannot be done, rashly combining troops into one force can easily lead to confusion in military orders, especially when both sides have similar flags, understandable commands, and easily recognizable flags, which can easily cause negative effects.

As for the morale boost after the reason is reached, it may be very useful and effective for others.

But for Yan Yan, this promotion of soldiers was nothing more than icing on the cake.

Whether the addition of combat soldiers will increase or decrease combat effectiveness under these circumstances is not an outcome that can be accurately predicted.

"A commander should have the ability to make decisions." Guo Jia looked at Guan Yu, whose expression remained unchanged, and neither offered any advice nor interfered with Guan Yu's command.

After so many years of working together, Guo Jia had become accustomed to Guan Yu's actions and behavior, and also understood the reasons behind Guan Yu's behavior.

Rahul is very strong, extremely strong, so strong that he was repeatedly warned and warned before the trip even began.

Under such instructions, even the confident Guo Jia could feel the caution and pressure, let alone Guan Yu, who shouldered the responsibility of leading a large army.

Being responsible to the army and the empire means that the slightest mistake could have extremely serious consequences, not just on the battlefield.

The troops that were dispatched this time were basically the elite troops originally under Liu Bei's command, representing Liu Bei's direct forces, and their importance was self-evident.

A few years ago, this force was the ballast of the entire country, stabilizing national order and social stability, and also serving as a core force to deter other powers.

It is only because the domestic environment has changed in recent years, with more forces emerging to maintain social stability and order, that they have this legitimate opportunity to go to war.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be them who went on this expedition.

It was precisely because of the unique nature of this power that Guan Yu, as the commander of the legion, faced even greater pressure.

Factors such as his elder brother, the country, the army soldiers, and the civil and military generals under his command all put pressure on Guan Yu.

However, thanks to his strong will and physical strength, Guan Yu forcibly withstood this pressure and led his army forward, strengthening himself as much as possible during the march.

“I can understand.” Fa Zheng, who was able to see into people’s hearts, could indeed see that Guan Yu was under some pressure, but unlike Guo Jia, he had not been by Guan Yu’s side for a long time, so he was not very clear about the pressure and worries in Guan Yu’s heart.

I simply considered this issue from the perspective of the overall battle situation and came to my own conclusions and judgments.

In Fazheng's view, the pass where Yan Yan and others were stationed was small in area and had a treacherous terrain, which was not conducive to large-scale military operations. It was completely unsuitable for them to perform their duties and could not demonstrate their teamwork or their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, considering the current predicament, a choice has been made. If Yan Yan can hold the pass, then once they arrive, they can naturally engage in a war of attrition with Rahul, continuously eliminating and whittling down the enemy's elite troops.

However, the cost of doing so would be very high, extremely high.

Because in this combat mode, energy will enhance their strength, and will also greatly enhance the strength of their opponent. Facing a strong opponent, daring to wield a sword against a strong opponent means that the opponent will eventually become a strong opponent as well.

The soldiers of the Kushan Empire, who were initially weaker, naturally experienced a significant increase in strength and morale after numerous wars, especially against the Han Empire.

This kind of increase is a result that Fazheng does not really want to see.

After all, it is definitely easier to raise a group of soldiers with a combat strength of 30 to 60 than to raise a group of soldiers with a combat strength of 80 to 90.

When neither side has improved, the latter can easily crush the former. However, when both sides improve, it becomes much more difficult for the latter to crush the former.

Therefore, in Fazheng's view, there have only been two ways to properly deal with the Rahul Legion soldiers of the Kushan Empire.

The first method is to eliminate Rahul, the commander of the Kushan Empire, which will naturally achieve the goal.

After all, a snake can't function without a head, especially a head like Rahul. The difference in combat power is enormous whether it exists or not.

The second option is to annihilate the Kushan Empire's fighting force on a large scale, denying the enemy the opportunity to develop their soldiers and keeping them at a level between recruits and ordinary elites, thus enabling a prolonged period of suppression.

As suppression continues for a long time, both the enemy and our side will come to accept this suppression. In this process, the Han Empire will become stronger and stronger, while the Kushan Empire will become weaker and weaker.

This process will continue until both countries recognize their national pride, ultimately determining the differences between them.

Therefore, judging from Guan Yu's current behavior, Fa Zheng felt that Guan Yu wanted to implement the second method, which was to fight a real open-field battle with the enemy. Through this kind of open-field battle, relying on the physical qualities and tacit cooperation of the soldiers, he could forcefully crush or break the enemy's numerical advantage.

Of course, the primary objective is to annihilate the enemy's elite forces, completely cripple their core personnel, and eliminate any possibility of such an outcome.

The best place to implement this method is naturally the plains east of the mountains, which is the best battlefield.

Although Rahul can rely on the mountains to significantly reduce his engagement area, given the right timing, he can definitely make his opponent suffer a crushing defeat.

The initial idea was simple: to lead an army through narrow mountain roads in the event of defeat would be tantamount to suicide.

Even without the enemy's intervention, the internal chaos and urgency alone are enough to destroy an army.

From an internal perspective, Fazheng believes that this plan is highly feasible.

Of course, if some troops could successfully block the mountain passes, they could also achieve victory on the main battlefield, and then Rahul of the Kushan Empire could be captured in one battle. (End of Chapter)
