Chapter 227: Thunder

This is probably Alexander's heart disease! Zhang Bai secretly calculated to himself, what is most needed for the entire Rhine defense line? Although he did not actually understand it, no matter where the barbarians were, the offensive strategy was actually similar.

Avoiding head-to-head confrontation, breaking through the gaps, and attacking the rear, this is actually the strategy of the Manchu Emperor Taiji to deal with Emperor Chongzhen and Taizu to deal with the devil in later generations.

The most important thing in sports warfare is to obtain the intelligence of the other side, if the intelligence is insufficient, the strong side may be in the air at any time, and the weak side may also throw itself into the net at any time.

Therefore, even if Zhang Bai relies on imagination, he can guess what is most needed on the Rhine front, undoubtedly intelligence gathering, as long as he knows the direction of the barbarian advance in advance, he can win more with less, and destroy the barbarian army with backward equipment and training at any time.

After all, what Alexander needs most is a spaceship, and that's right!

Zhang Bai secretly grinned.

He felt that another good deal was about to come to the door, but in order to do a good job, it was necessary to increase the production of spaceships, and to increase the production of spaceships, there must be a stable environment to organize manpower and material resources.

So first of all, it is necessary to deal with the affairs of the Kushan Empire, in the future, not only the spaceships, but also the war horses, camels, grain, slave population, etc., all need to be transferred east from here. Now from birth to death, everything you do will inevitably have a high return.

Thinking of this, he stopped thinking and asked Alexander, "Is Mu Jing back?"

"I don't know, I have to ask your master. ”

Zhang Bai then remembered that Alexander was actually not familiar with Mu Jing, "Okay, don't talk about this!, please ask, if it were you, what do you think we should do next?"

"Three directions, one is to wait, as long as you can hold out long enough, your reinforcements can arrive, right?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure, after all, it's a long way from Ctesiphon to Peshawar. ”

"That's the second direction, let's all retreat westward, over the Hindu Kush, looking for your reinforcements. ”

"Don't be kidding! You're naming me, except for the rocks and snowy mountains, it's possible to starve to death, if you want to go, let's take my spaceship together." ”

"That's not bad, you're going to do that?" Alexander looked at Zhang Bai a little defiantly.

Zhang Bai looked at him with a grin, with an expression that I knew what you wanted to do, he stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said, "Don't try to provoke me, haha, you know I want to choose the third way." ”

Alexander also smiled, and then said: "The third way is to capture Taha, or kill Taha, but to do this, we have to take the initiative to attack." ”

"The remnants of the Sega... That Hazard helped us a lot. Zhang Bai said.

"Yes, they have a lot of help, but only today, with their hundreds of men, they can't even survive until tomorrow. ”

"Not necessarily, Zero detected that they had a reserve army, about 3,000 men, that had crossed the Indus River and were approaching the southern gate. ”

Hearing this, Alexander paused, "If so, then Hazard is not just a brave officer, he is indeed an excellent general. ”

Zhang Bai looked at Alexander with some emotion and said: "Ignore Hazard first, we should choose to take the initiative to attack, only then can we reduce our losses." But I haven't figured out exactly how to do it. Anyway, I'm going to have to go to the ship right away and see what happens. ”

......

At the northern gates, Taha's forbidden army left a trail of corpses, barely withstanding the last round of Hazard's attack.

After a night of fierce fighting, it was already morning, and the two sides were already sleepy, and under Nazhe's persuasion, although reluctant, Adjara had to agree to withdraw to rest. More than 200 people retreated from the north gate to the south gate, and no one dared to stop them all the way.

Seeing Hazard retreating, Taha was proud, and while continuing to arrange the defense, he sent people to contact the reinforcements outside the north gate.

"Where did this damn army called Hanako go?" Taha couldn't help but blurt out a complaint.

The cavalry had already crossed the Kabul River to the north, and had been riding only half an hour from the North Gate, but it had been so long that they had not yet reached the North Gate.

In Taha's heart, he had long decided that this was a loose and undisciplined army. If it weren't for the lack of cavalry, he wouldn't have used such a bandit-like force.

"Send one more person out and urge those damned Huns to hurry up, or don't even think about getting their pay. ”

......

At the south gate, the unwilling Hazard was changing horses, and he took off Minar's head and handed it over to his soldiers to arrange the funeral.

The remaining 200 men under his command were all exhausted, and they fell asleep as soon as they lay on the ground. The north gate was now wide open for the cavalry to enter and exit, for more than 3,000 recruits had already arrived outside the gate and had finished resting.

"Is there any news from the messenger sent to the south?" said Adzar.

"Not yet, three fast horses have been dispatched, the journey is a little far, maybe I'll be back soon!"

"Well, we can't delay, we must take advantage of Taha's unstable foothold, and then attack the north gate, we are not good at street fighting, if they arrange a complete defense, just to hit the north gate will lose a lot of our soldiers and horses. ”

"Yes, my lord," replied Nazhe, "but I have heard of a strange thing to report to you. The eastern gate of Kabuli is said to have been occupied, and the leader was not Taha. ”

"Do you know who it is?"

"This is the strangest place, there are several theories, some say that the soldiers there mutinied, and some say that there are Roman soldiers there, that the Romans have come in. ”

"What? it's ridiculous!"

"This is not the most ridiculous, there is also a theory that the Zoroastrian leader performed a miracle with divine power, and a Zoroastrian temple appeared on the flat ground, and the power of the temple prompted the followers to take control of the city gates. Nazhe shrugged his shoulders after speaking.

Hazard smiled contemptuously, "Maybe this is a trick that Minar thought of before his death, maybe it was an ambush army, probably we should have entered the city through the east gate." ”

"That's what I want to say," said Najer, "anyway, the people who control the gates of Kabuli are obviously not the same as Taha, and we should fight for them. ”

"That's right, you arrange for someone to contact me, I have to set off to attack the north gate. ”

"My lord, I suggest, don't go to the city this time, it's better to bypass the west gate and attack from outside the city in the north, Taha won't expect us to take this road, and we can take the other side by surprise. ”

Hazard thought for a moment and replied, "This is a good idea of yours, you can avoid the barricades in the city, and even if you encounter an enemy, you can do it happily, very good!"

He immediately divided the army into two parts, Na Zhe led more than 200 veterans who were resting, plus more than 1,000 new soldiers, to continue to garrison the south city gate, and at the same time sent people to contact the east city gate, ready to recruit this passer-by.
