Chapter 2599
Just a little rain
...
With such a huge number of cavalry attacking, let alone his own thousand men, Ispaco felt that even if he brought the entire Skylark Legion, the final result would not be much better.
However, people have the instinct to survive, and Ispaco is no exception.
Anyway, the situation has made it impossible to delay time, so we have to let them withdraw smoothly.
On the one hand, they strengthened the impact on the surrounding environment and enhanced the ability of light and shadow to conceal them. At the same time, they glanced in another direction and directly manipulated the changes in light and shadow in that place, making that place look like there was some visual residue.
However, this slight discomfort discovered by the naked eye was instantly caught by Ma Chao. Without even thinking about it, he directly dispatched the army to launch a long-range legion attack, bombarding the visual residual area.
Feeling the relevant movement, Ispa was both happy and worried.
The good news is that this simple visual misleading was able to successfully mislead the Han army, proving that they were indeed not discovered and that the other side had not seen through their innate abilities.
However, a worrying point is that the commander of the Han Empire is clearly an expert in commanding the army.
This also means that the opponent's catching ability will be terribly strong, and their chances of escaping will be reduced.
The others who were going around from another direction also noticed Ma Chao's method and reacted on the spot by directly drawing out the clouds to form a horizontal cloud army attack.
The goal is not to achieve a powerful attack effect, but to spread the attack range and knock out the opponent.
Noticing this change in the Han Empire's cavalry generals, Ispako was speechless.
Even a lion fighting a rabbit will give it its all. There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement, but there are only a few of him, and how many people are there against his opponents? Can they be on the same level?
It was fortunate that the light and shadow could block their vision, giving him time to think. Otherwise, the appearance of these heroes from the Han Empire would have been enough to cause his death.
Although he wanted to leave quickly, looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, Ispaco instantly realized that it was time to make a choice.
If these cavalrymen really get close to us, even if we fight back desperately, it will probably be difficult to cause casualties.
Without the advantage of the first move, even the Skylark Legion would not be able to kill the enemy head-on during a cavalry charge and survive.
The Skylark Legion is accustomed to relying on its first-mover advantage to attack the enemy's vital parts. Once it loses this opportunity, its combat effectiveness is actually not the highest among all the elite legions.
"Take a gamble!" Looking at the Han Empire's army that had just fired a shot and was beginning to accumulate strength to continue the attack, Ispaco made up his mind instantly and directly called on the power of the legion to project the figures of these people into the distance, to the edge that the Han Empire's legion would cover next time it attacked.
In this way, it would be much more reasonable to show the existence of those figures under the attack of the legion. When the cavalry goes to pursue, they will naturally be able to disperse and leave.
And the truth was pretty much what Ispako had imagined.
Whether it was Ma Chao or anyone else, after their legion's attack had shown results, they led the cavalry to charge forward without hesitation.
Even when he was about to approach these phantoms, Ma Chao directly activated his legion talent and entered a state of full effort.
It increases everyone's reaction speed, enough to allow the cavalry to directly block and counterattack with a reaction speed and effect that is no less than that of the first attacker, even when they are unable to see or even attack from behind.
However, Ma Chao, who was well prepared, did not receive any physical collision when he led his army to collide with it. Feeling this difference, Ma Chao's face turned cold on the spot.
Being teased like this by others, even though Ma Chao was a bit slow-witted, he still felt a little angry inside.
It can be said that after Ma Chao's cavalry units gradually left, Ispaco and his Skylark Legion were much safer.
Because this means that the other party will not be able to hurt him in a short period of time.
It was not until the raindrops falling from the sky hit him that Ispaco noticed the difference.
Because under the washing of rain, their figures actually emerged.
The moment it appeared, the overwhelming arrows fell down.
"My luck is so bad? It rains at this time?!" Ispaco casually knocked away the arrow with his dagger, feeling the force from the arrow, and looked at the direction and position where the arrow fell. He felt helpless in his heart.
The effect of this real physical arrow attack was very obvious, that is, Ispaco could not hide his body shape at all and was kicked out from that state.
...
On the other side, Cao Chun and Cao Zhen, who had also received the order and were preparing to walk out of the camp wall, turned their heads to look at Cao Anmin and watched him silently.
"Okay, okay, you guys go, I'll go to the rear army and stay with the others..." Cao Anmin, knowing the special nature of his own troops, did not forcefully pursue or forcefully follow, but directly chose a direction as a comfort to others.
Cao Chun and Cao Zhen looked at each other, and then set out on the road to the northwest to support and protect Vologases V and prevent him from getting into any accidents.
Of course, other people are not within their protection.
Of course, in addition to them, there was another force involved in this brief rescue, a force that appeared after they had to wait for a while.
"Xu Yuanzhi? Sima Zhongda actually asked you to come over?" Cao Chun looked at the person who appeared, his eyes full of surprise, but then turned into joy.
In any case, Xu Shu was a person who was quite consistent with his values, and there was no unpleasantness in getting along with him.
"The opponent Zhongda needs to face is the Fifth Skylark, a legion that I am not very good at facing..." Xu Shu shook his head and told the truth.
Facing the Fifth Skylark, the armored cavalry corps under his command was basically unable to play a role.
If the target cannot be found, no matter how strong the impact and penetration are, it will be ineffective.
"Really? In that case, then come with us to rescue Vologases V. With your abilities, we should be able to rescue him more easily." Cao Chun did not refuse, but accepted with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Cao Chun looked up at the sky and looked at Xu Shu with some confusion.
"It's just a little rain. In addition to making it easier to put out the fire, it's also to calm some people down. It won't affect the speed of the cavalry's charge." Xu Shu directly explained the nature of the rain. (End of this chapter)
