The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 610 Infantry Corps
They had long known that the Kushans had the Military Soul Legion.

It was Tian Ze who first told them, and after secret investigations by Jia Xu and many aristocratic families, it was found that there were quite a few of them, with about four in the open.

They all guarded the royal family, including cavalry, infantry, mountain soldiers and elephant soldiers.

This is determined by the particularity of the Kushan military system.

They concentrated their elite troops mainly among the royal soldiers, and classified them into cavalry, infantry, mountain soldiers, elephant soldiers, logistics soldiers and navy, and appointed commanders for each of them.

Kumar, who attacked Sindhu this time, was the infantry commander of the Kushans.

The specific strength of these military soul legions is not very clear, but based on the intelligence they have obtained.

Among them, the infantry and elephant soldiers once attacked Sindhu with great momentum.

The mountain soldiers and cavalry also fought against the Parthians and the Northern Huns respectively, and neither side gained any advantage.

The strength of Sindhu is of no use as a reference, it is purely for bullying.

Liu Bei and his men were not clear about the strength of Parthia.

However, they had heard about the strength of the Northern Huns from Yuan Shao and others.

To be honest, if Yuan Shao and others had not plotted against them from the beginning, the Northern Huns would definitely be strong enough to fight the Four Kings.

Even if you can't win, you won't lose too badly.

After all, the mobility of the cavalry is there.

Especially the strength of the Gray Wolf Cavalry of the Northern Huns' Military Soul Corps, which was absolutely amazing. Even now, the four kings still feel a lingering fear when they recall it.

If Cao Cao had not been cautious and had directly sent the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Volunteers or the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to confront this Military Soul Corps, it would have ended in a disastrous defeat.

The combat power that was gained at the cost of one's life was indeed too terrifying.

Even if the Canglang Cavalry is in its normal state, its strength is probably not much worse than that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White Horse Volunteers.

The Kushan Military Soul Legion is definitely of great value as it is able to compete head-on with such an opponent.

When Liu Fan learned about this, his expression suddenly became serious.

He did not have time to be disappointed by the lag of his intelligence system, but asked nervously: "Is it the infantry corps? Or the elephant corps?"

Although the Kushan legions were divided into different types of troops, when a real war broke out, it was impossible to command a single type of troops to fight. It must be a combination of various types of troops.

"It might be that infantry corps." Liu Bei said.

Although the Kushan upper class headed by Potiao did not take the Seven Kings seriously on the surface, they were actually quite vigilant in their hearts.

What Ban Chao did in the Western Regions in the past really left them with a trauma.

That was the peak period of the Kushan Empire, otherwise it would not have expanded to the point of causing trouble for the Han Dynasty. As a result, it was beaten up by Zhang Qian, an "unknown" civil servant, and his soldiers from the Western Regions before it could even enter the Western Regions.

From then on, the Kushans cast a shadow over the Han Empire.

The same is true for the Northern Huns.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Han invited the Kushans to attack the Northern Huns together.

At that time, the Kushans were no longer the original Great Yuezhi. Their national strength was not weak, and they still had no intention of seeking revenge, so they simply acted like an ostrich.

Later, even though the Northern Huns were in dire straits, the Kushans still failed to conquer them, which showed their weakness.

If it were the Han Empire, they would have destroyed the Northern Huns even if it meant sacrificing a generation of their own people.

However, the Northern Huns, who had made them helpless, were driven away by the Four Kings, so they naturally became more cautious.

"The Kushan Cavalry Corps must be stationed in the north to defend against the four kings. The Mountain Corps will be stationed in the northwest to guard against Parthia."

"As far as we know, he can only mobilize the Infantry Army Soul Corps and the Elephant Army Soul Corps." Pang Tong analyzed. "But the Elephant Army is a double-edged sword, even the Army Soul Corps is the same."

"This is our first fight, so the Kushans will certainly be cautious."

"Moreover, according to our spies hiding in the southern part of Kushan, there are only 500 elephant soldiers in the army led by Kumar this time."

"That army of elephant soldiers has over a thousand men, so the two can't match up."

After saying this, Pang Tong added: "Of course, this is just speculation. We cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is intentionally hiding it. However..."

"That's basically impossible." Sun Quan said bluntly.

Sun Quan really didn't think much of countries outside the Central Plains, even the Kushans.

Although they do have some strength, their ruling system is really poor, and their political and strategic abilities are simply not worth mentioning.

In Sun Quan's view, they were just a bunch of fools.

If he were born in such a country, he could easily control the entire empire and take it over.

For a country like this, how could it understand the meaning of "all is fair in war" and "reducing troops and increasing firepower"?

There is no way they could perform such a sophisticated operation.

It's just barely acceptable from a tactical perspective.

Upon hearing this, Pang Tong also agreed.

It is necessary to be cautious. There is no harm in being more careful.

But being overly cautious can easily lead to missed opportunities, especially when dealing with an opponent like the Kushans.

Different from previous wars in the Central Plains, this is an all-around war in which both sides have strong strength, wisdom, and coordination.

These countries outside the Central Plains seem to have some biased studies.

It's just like playing a game. Everyone has top-notch equipment, but their operation is average, and they don't know how to ambush and block vision, and can only fight head-on.

"After all, the foundation is too shallow and the history is too thin." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

It's just a matter of saying the word "barbarians" directly.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the contention of hundreds of schools of thought, the county system of Qin Shihuang and the standardization of writing and wheel gauge, the exclusive Confucianism, the idea of ​​great unification, and the Enfeoffment Order of Emperor Han Wudi...

Compared with these countries outside the Central Plains, the foundation accumulated by the Central Plains over the past few hundred years is too profound.

Apart from anything else, the rapid development of Da Qi was due to at least 30% of the efforts of the various schools of thought.

That era was so glorious that countless treasures were left behind. Even if they have been covered in dust for hundreds of years, a little cleaning up can still promote development.

Even from the perspective of Tian Ze, a time traveler, many of the ideas and technologies are extremely advanced, and one can see many shadows of later generations in them.

It’s just that due to the historical environment and productivity at that time, these ideas could not be reused.

In today's Da Qi, many of them have regained their glory.

"This is a good thing. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to take over an empire!" Zhou Yu said with a faint smile.

After sorting out some data, Zhou Yu had a deep understanding of the strength of these countries outside the Central Plains, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

Judging from the data on paper, it would be impossible for them to achieve their original plan.

If any of the three empires had the strength to match the data on paper, it would probably take them several years or even decades.

Fortunately, they are not countries in the Central Plains and all have huge flaws.
