Chapter 342 - A Treaty That Is Ready to Be Torn Up Before It Has Been Identified—5
Herat and Nishapur were both important towns located very close to the hinterland of the Sabbath Empire, so the defenses here were relatively sound. If Chen Qingzhi and the others were able to successfully take Herat, relying on the advantage of a surprise attack, then their attack on Nishapur could only be carried out in a different way, because after the battle of Herat, their whereabouts had been exposed, and even the most stupid people knew that their next target was one of the only remaining central cities, Nishapur.
Sure enough, Chen Qingzhi and the others fell into great difficulties, and on the opposite side of them gathered all the armies that could still be reached in the hinterland of the Khorasan region, although the number was not large, but each of them had the will to win with their soldiers, and behind them was the already angry Khorasan Defense Corps, their border defense strategy, after being played by the Han Dynasty army, had made their wisdom despised by their compatriots, if this war could not be ashamed of their stupidity, Then they can only apologize to the entire empire with one death.
With such a fierce fighting spirit, their actions became extremely fast, which made Chen Qingzhi's foodies feel very surprised, but Chen Qingzhi did not show any panicked expression, he still rushed to Nishapur step by step, as if the surrounding enemy troops were in front of him, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
Because of the experience of winning successive battles before, his subordinates were convinced of Chen Qingzhi's judgment. Therefore, there was no doubt in the whole army about his voice. Almost all of them thought that Chen Qingzhi would be able to, but they escaped, but at this time, Chen Qingzhi's temperament suddenly changed greatly, and with a panicked look, he said like the main generals in the army: "I know that you are all very confident in me, but I want to tell you that in terms of the current situation, the one who has the least confidence in me is myself, because I don't know what to do next, but before that, I want to try my best to pretend that I am confident, so as not to lose the morale of the army, As far as the current situation is concerned, you are in good shape, but this kind of delaying tactics can only fool yourself and cannot solve the fundamental problem, so we must make an important choice boldly now. There are a lot of people who can die because of this choice, so I have to ask for your opinion and see if you can show enough courage to chase me and keep going! ”
As soon as his words came out, those soldiers heard that he had no established strategy at all, and they exploded into a pot at that time.
They chirped and discussed crookedly into a mess of gossip and arguments, and some even jumped out directly to accuse Chen Qingzhi of shamelessness, and even more impulsive people were ready to rush up and beat him up, but fortunately, his pro-soldiers and senior generals were still cool-headed guys, if these people hadn't tried their best to block them, I'm afraid Chen Qingzhi would have been beaten into a meat pie a long time ago.
After this chaotic situation lasted for some time, several of the more prestigious figures in the barracks finally jumped out to speak, calling on the soldiers to exercise restraint and calm. It was almost a quarter of an hour before these megabroadband RF beauties calmed down under the persuasion of everyone. But they still wanted to get the answers they wanted from Chen Qingzhi. The exact content of this answer is not important, the important thing is that he has a fairly reasonable logic, can soothe the wounded hearts of the soldiers, and can send back to them the sense of security that has been lost just now. Otherwise, the chaos that just happened is likely to become a norm.
Of course, this idea is only the idea of the soldiers. And those generals who had a little brains kept it in mind at this time and reasoned about what Chen Qingzhi had just said. Because there is another possibility in his words, he said that he was not prepared in the slightest, and it is very likely that he was modestly speaking.
And in the second half of his words, he even proposed to ask the big guy to help him make a difficult choice, because he felt that it was likely to make more people lose their lives, combined with the meaning of the first half of the sentence, Chen Qingzhi's words wanted to express, in general, I hope that everyone can show the confidence of hunger strike and help him complete the next task.
And whether this task was planned by him a long time ago, obviously, it should be certain.
There should be two main reasons why those soldiers are in such a situation, one of which is that their current situation is too passive, and the situation of attacking from front to back will make every soldier nervous, and the other reason is that they are not familiar enough with Chen Qingzhi, so that they don't even hear it, Chen Qingzhi has actually planned for this for a long time. So there was a situation of trying to impact Chen Qingzhi's illness and beating him, fortunately, the shop here was very happy for Chen Qingzhi, so someone immediately stood up, patted his chest and said: "The difference between the general's words, as a Han soldier, I should be born and die for Liangzhou, general, in fact, there is no need to discuss with us, as long as you give an order, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, we will definitely step on it, not to mention a small Nishapur." ”
As soon as his words came out, the surrounding generals immediately echoed them, and then the soldiers present finally understood Chen Qingzhi's words, and then they also shouted, trying to cover up the embarrassing situation just now with their loud voices, fortunately, Chen Qingzhi didn't mean to worry about them at all, and only heard a faint saying: "I said that my next action may die, I'm not joking with you, let alone being alarmist in front of you, I'm just giving you a realistic description of what might happen next, because our next attack is on the hinterland of the Rest Empire, which is known as the Persian Plateau. ”
"Before we sent our troops, the lord had repeatedly told us not to try to attack the hinterland of the Rest Empire, because our foundation is not solid, the difficulty of logistics supply is already very great, and we can't afford any price of elite losses, our current population is still too small, comrades have, the Kushan Empire is already very difficult, if we provoke the original strong neighbors of the empire to rest in peace, then our pressure will increase sharply, and it is very likely that we will hand over the fruits of victory that have been achieved."
"But things have developed to this day, if we don't do this, it will be difficult to return to the area controlled by the Han court alive, so the matter of asking the lord for guilt can only be handed over to the future to do, if we still have a life, it should also be a fortunate thing."
At this time, those present realized that the alluvial Shapur was fake, and the onslaught on the Persian plateau was real. This is a typical strategy of striking the east and west!
