Chapter 3645
I'm hooked!
...
Relying on their armor, which provides extremely terrifying physical defense, and having emerged from the Jingling Guard, they also possess extremely strong willpower defense. Therefore, even when facing the equally terrifying Dawn Legion with dual talents, Sun Guan's Legion did not feel much pressure.
"Their willpower is brilliant, but their overall quality is lacking. They still have a long way to go in terms of strength, speed, and skill. When their willpower can no longer overcome the enemy, this legion is not so fearsome!" Based on his experience in the past few days, Sun Guan quickly formed his own judgment and recorded it.
When facing the Dawn Legion, a standard Shield Guard Legion needs to calm down and take a very serious approach to deal with any potential attacks that might test their willpower, in order to defend against the enemy's attacks.
If one is careless and attacks the enemy's willpower, one could very well be knocked unconscious in one blow.
"Han cavalry troops have retreated?" Kusroy was not particularly concerned that his Dawn Legion had failed to quickly break through the enemy's defenses.
The opponent placed at the front is, after all, a super heavy infantryman with defense as a talent point. It's quite normal for them to have a willpower-type defense talent.
Therefore, it was normal for Kusroy to be unable to break through the enemy's defenses in a short period of time.
However, the retreat of the cavalry unit of the Han army's central force made Kusroy feel puzzled and confused.
The Han army did not abandon its allies arbitrarily, nor would it risk cutting off its rear to save itself when the outcome of the battle was still uncertain.
Even under his command, the Kushan army, which now possesses regional advantages, is still extremely far from being on the verge of victory.
Given the capabilities of the Han army commander, it was impossible that he couldn't see this. And if he could see it, how could he possibly abandon his own army so easily?
"The rear guard of the Han army has moved!" Just as Kusroy was having some doubts, Gars, who was observing the entire battlefield without giving any orders, spoke up and reported what he had observed, which could be considered as a reminder.
Reminded in this way, Kusroy saw the massive infantry of the Han army's rear guard and began to form ranks, slowly advancing forward.
The purpose behind the Han army's actions seems to be to use infantry to resolve the current predicament and crisis.
"If it were Yan Yan who made the move, this situation wouldn't be a problem." Gals, who had fought Yan Yan before, gave a similar explanation after seeing this scene.
In terms of commanding troops, Yan Yan is more adept at commanding infantry units than cavalry units. His opponent's ability to command infantry units is slightly better than his, but when combined with the extremely strong resilience that Yan Yan's troops possess, the difference becomes very significant.
"Solve the problem with infantry alone?" Following this idea and line of thinking, Kusroy, who understood this direction, frowned and looked at the Han cavalry troops gradually disappearing into the distance, his concerns growing.
However, when the flanks of the Kushan army began to truly encircle the vanguard of the Han army, Kusroy abandoned this concern.
Now that the Han Empire's army was surrounded and they had the potential to annihilate it en masse, they couldn't simply give up. Realizing this, Kusroy quickly withdrew more legions from the ridge and deployed them to the flanks, further thickening the encirclement. At the same time, he created a blocking zone behind the Han army's vanguard to prevent the Han forces from regrouping.
It can be said that after completing this series of arrangements, the offensive and defensive dynamics of both sides changed at this moment.
The offensive, which was originally undertaken by the main force of the Han army, was transformed into each side having its own offensive direction and its own defensive direction.
The Kushan army's offensive direction was towards the Han army's heavily armored vanguard, while its defensive direction was naturally towards the Han army's central and rear guard.
“It is indeed difficult to wear down these heavy troops in a short period of time. Would it be better to use this as a base to deplete the Han army’s relatively weak rear guard and cavalry?” Gars said thoughtfully as he watched the encirclement being set up and the attack already underway.
“Our army is not strong enough to do this. If we had a few more elite legions, we could give it a try.” Kusroy immediately refuted this statement upon hearing it, and also explained the main reason behind it.
Encirclement and annihilation of reinforcements is indeed a very good tactic under the current circumstances. After all, the Han army often spares no expense to rescue their besieged comrades. Choosing the tactic of annihilating reinforcements has a very high probability of success.
Unfortunately, they were not strong enough. If the Han army had really launched a full-scale attack, they would have been more likely to break their own teeth if they tried to forcibly annihilate the Han Empire's army with their limited strength.
"Great! We've finally managed to bring the troops down!" Zhang Fei burst out laughing as he watched the Kushan army finally pull its troops down from the mountain ridge.
The Kushan army consistently positioned its infantry on the mountain ridges, which wasn't impossible for Zhang Fei to fight, but simply not worth the effort.
If the Kushans were to bring their troops down, without the corresponding terrain obstacles, an army of that caliber would pose little challenge to Zhang Fei's legion.
Especially since the Dawn Legion, the core of the Kushan army and the most resistant legion, was not in the core combat area, everything was already predetermined.
"Run! Let them know what fear is!" Seeing the Kushan infantry reach their positions and further surround Sun Guan's army, Zhang Fei roared and used his voice to transmit the order to the entire core army.
With the order given, Zhang Fei's cavalry immediately charged forward, heading straight for the Kushan army blocking Sun Guan's army.
"Directly attack our legion?" Upon seeing the movements of Zhang Fei's legion, Kusroy was first taken aback, then overjoyed.
Since the Han army's cavalry has chosen to directly charge the blocking line, then an order should be issued to leave a corresponding charging path in the line, allowing the Han army's cavalry to charge directly through and reach the position of Sun Guan's army. At that time, the vanguard and cavalry of the Han army will be surrounded, and the strength that the Han army can exert will only be lower than it is now.
Cavalry units without movement speed and space are no different from lambs to the slaughter.
Even the steady and confident commander of the Han army had moments of irrationality!
In his attempt to save his teammates, he ultimately lost his temper... (End of Chapter)
