Dahan Pirate Air Force

This is probably Alexander’s heart problem!Zhang Bai secretly calculated, what does the entire Rhine River defense line need most?Although he has not actually understood it, no matter where the barbarians are, their offensive strategies are actually the same.

Avoiding head-on confrontations, rushing in through gaps, and attacking the rear was actually the strategy used by Emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to deal with Emperor Chongzhen, and Taizu's strategy to deal with the Japanese in later generations.

The most important thing in mobile warfare is to obtain the opponent's intelligence. If the intelligence is insufficient, the strong side may fall short at any time, and the weak side may fall into a trap at any time.

Therefore, even if Zhang Bai relied on his imagination, he could guess what the Rhine frontline needed most, which was undoubtedly intelligence collection. As long as he knew the direction of the barbarian advance in advance, he could defeat more with less and eliminate 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 grinned secretly.

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

So first of all, we still need to deal with the affairs of the Kushan Empire. In the future, not only the spaceships, but also war horses, camels, food, slave population, etc. will need to be transported eastward from here.Now from life to death, everything you do will definitely have high returns.

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

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

Only then did Zhang Bai remember that Alexander was actually not familiar with Mu Jing, "Okay, let's not talk about this! Let me ask you, if it were you, what do you think we should do next?"

"There are three directions. One is to wait. As long as you can hold on long enough, your reinforcements will arrive, right?"

"It should be, but I'm not sure. After all, it's a long way from Ctesiphon to Peshawar."

"That's the second direction. We all retreat west, over the Hindu Kush Mountains, looking for your reinforcements."

"Stop kidding me! Are you vomiting me? There are only rocks and snow-capped mountains there. It's possible for everyone to starve to death. If you want to leave, let's all take my spaceship together."

"That's not bad. Are you going to do this?" Alexander looked at Zhang Bai provocatively.

Zhang Bai looked at him with a smile, an expression that said I know what you want to do. He stretched out his index finger and shook it, saying: "Don't try to anger me, haha, you know I want to choose the third way."

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

"The remnant troops of the Sejia tribe...that Azar helped us a lot." Zhang Bai said.

"Yes, they are very useful, but only for today. With just a few hundred of their troops, they won't even be able to survive until tomorrow."

"Not necessarily. Zero detected that they have a reserve army of about 3000 troops. They have crossed the Indus River and are approaching the South City Gate."

After hearing the news, Alexander paused, "If this is the case, then Azar is not just a brave officer, he is indeed an outstanding general."

Zhang Bai looked at Alexander with some emotion and said: "Ignore Azar for now, we should choose to attack proactively. Only in that way can we reduce losses. But I haven't figured out how to do it specifically. In short, I have to get to the spaceship immediately. Let’s take a look at the situation first and then talk.”

......

At the north city gate, Taha's imperial army left a pile of corpses and barely withstood Azar's last round of attack.

After a night of fierce fighting, it was already morning, and both sides were already exhausted. After Nazhe's persuasion, Azar had no choice but to agree to withdraw and rest. More than 200 people retreated straight from the north gate to the south gate, no one dared to stop them all the way.

Seeing Azar retreat, Taha felt proud. While continuing to arrange defenses, he sent people to contact the reinforcements outside the north gate.

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

The cavalry troops had already crossed the Kabul River in the north, and the distance between them and the North Gate was only half an hour on horseback. However, after such a long time, they still had not reached the North Gate.

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

"Send one more person out to urge those damn Huns to hurry up, or else we won't get their reward."

......

At the south city gate, a reluctant Azar was changing his horse. He removed Minar's head and gave it to his soldiers to arrange the funeral.

The more than 200 remaining men under him were all exhausted and fell asleep in a mess as soon as they lay on the ground.The north city gate is now wide open, making it easier for the cavalry to enter and exit, because more than 3000 new soldiers outside the gate have already arrived and have finished resting.

"Is there any news from the messenger sent to the south?" Azar asked Nazhe.

"Not yet, three fast horses have been sent out. It's a long way here, maybe they'll be back soon!"

"Okay! We can't delay. We must attack the North Gate before Taha's foothold is stable. We are not good at street fighting. If they set up a complete defense, we will lose a lot of troops just to attack the North Gate. "

"Okay, sir!" Nazhe replied, "But I also heard a strange thing that I want to report to you. The Kabuli City Gate in the east is said to have been occupied, and the leader is not Taha.”

"Do you know who it is?"

"This is the strangest place. There are several theories. Some say that the soldiers there mutinied. Others say that Roman soldiers appeared there and that the Romans invaded."

"What? That's ridiculous!"

"This is not the most ridiculous. There is another theory that the leader of Zoroastrianism used his divine power to create a miracle. A Zoroastrian temple appeared on the ground there. The power of the temple prompted the believers to control the city gate." Nazhe finished speaking and shrugged. shrugged.

Azar smiled contemptuously, "This may be a trick Minar thought up before his death, or it may be an ambush. We should probably enter the city through the east gate."

"That's what I want to say," Nazhe said. "Anyway, the people who control the Kabuli City Gate are obviously not on the same side as Taha. We should fight for them."

"That's right. You arrange for someone to contact us. I have to set off to attack the North Gate."

"Sir, I suggest that instead of going into the city this time, it is better to go around the west gate and launch an attack from outside the city in the north. Taha will not expect us to take this route, so we can catch the opponent off guard."

Azar thought for a while and replied: "Your idea is very good. It can avoid the roadblocks in the city. Even if you encounter the enemy, you can have a good fight. Very good! That's it!"

He immediately divided the army into two parts. Nazhe led more than 200 veterans who were resting, plus more than 1000 new soldiers, to continue to garrison the south gate. At the same time, he sent people to contact the east gate to prepare to recruit these people.
