Chapter 3646
The Real Fear!
...
If a commander cannot remain rational, it is irresponsible to the entire army.
However, as an opponent, an emotionally unstable opponent is naturally the best opponent.
When facing such an opponent, one should naturally make targeted guidance and arrangements based on the weaknesses revealed by the opponent's emotions.
Arrogance, pride, confidence, irritability—any emotion not influenced by subjective will can be a negative emotion.
Facing the passage set up by Kusroy's troops, Zhang Fei's cavalry legion did not delay and charged directly into the passage left by the Kushan army.
Normally, if the enemy leaves such a passage to facilitate the passage of cavalry, it is generally a case of both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that when facing cavalry, one does not have to bear the direct impact of the cavalry charge, and therefore does not have to suffer the enormous damage from such an attack.
The downside is that cavalry can quickly sweep through enemy lines, which is essentially equivalent to cavalry breaking through one's own defenses. If the command is not strong enough, the infantry units that are swept through are no different from those that have been broken through by cavalry.
Zhang Fei believed that Kusroy's decision to do this indicated that the other party possessed similar confidence.
Even after the Han army's cavalry swept past, they were still able to command the infantry that had been infiltrated and reorganize them.
In fact, the main reason why Kusroy chose to do this was because the troops that were surrounded were heavy armored troops from the Han Empire army.
The Han Empire's cavalry, advancing along this passage, will eventually collide with the Han Empire's heavy infantry, at which point they will lose their speed and mobility, and there will be no possibility of them breaking through their own defensive lines.
However, for Zhang Fei, anyone who dared to leave a cavalry charge path for his legion was simply courting death.
"Open up for me!" Wielding his eighteen-foot spear, Zhang Fei positioned himself in the middle of the cavalry's charge. As he swung the spear to the side, he activated his Legion Talent, the Legion Talent that affects the opponent!
It can instill fear in opponents, and at the same time, it can absorb their fear to strengthen itself, making the entire legion stronger.
With a stronger legion, its power is greater, and it can withstand a higher level of fear. It can then attempt to unleash even stronger fear power, thus creating a nightmare that can break the enemy.
However, for Zhang Fei, under normal circumstances, when he activates the Legion Talent, he usually holds back and doesn't unleash its full potential.
As a legion talent that could potentially cripple one's own soldiers, and could prevent one's soldiers from ever going to the battlefield again, Zhang Fei is currently the only person in the Central Plains who can classify and restrict the power of his legion talent.
They have a clear understanding of what kind of war to wage and how much force to deploy, and they have established standards for this.
As a legion talent with both extremely terrifying positive and negative effects, Zhang Fei's legion talent is truly terrifying.
As Zhang Fei wielded his eighteen-foot spear, a single strike blasted surrounding enemies into a bloody mist. Combined with the activation of his legion's talent, the resulting terror amplified, spreading to every Kushan soldier within sight. Sensing this encroaching power and the fear it carried, Kusroy instantly realized the gravity of the situation and roared, "All troops, take cover! Retreat!!"
If it were any other force, Kusroy wouldn't have lost his composure like this, but this force was fear, fear from the depths of his heart.
As the one who single-handedly created the Dawn Legion, Kusroy's willpower is self-evident; it is unwavering and brilliant.
In this situation, Kusroy felt a slight fear the moment he sensed this power, but he suppressed it with his strong willpower.
Having experienced such power, how could Kusroy not understand how destructive it would inevitably be?
Even he could feel a trace of fear, let alone the Kushan soldiers, most of whom were new recruits, how could they possibly withstand such a level of fear?
In fact, most Dawn Legion soldiers could feel the fear, but their brilliant willpower was enough to make them continue to move forward and wield their swords in the face of fear.
Of course, part of the reason might be that Zhang Fei didn't fully unleash his legion's talents due to the relatively long distance, but it's undeniable that Dawn Heroes are fearless in terms of willpower.
"Damn it, this power!" Gars, belatedly realizing what was happening, instantly understood the terrifying nature of this power. Without hesitation, he unleashed his divine visualization to further enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness, using this power to counteract, to some extent, the fear that emanated from within, a fear that permeated their minds like a bone-deep pain.
However, after the power of the divine visualization was applied to the soldiers, Gals found that the fear did not dissipate, but instead remained entangled in their minds.
After further encountering this power, Garth realized just how destructive it was to the recruits.
For new recruits, the most they have received is relevant battlefield training. The actual battlefield is full of unknowns. Originally, these unknowns could be covered up by the momentum of victory, but now, facing this fear, the power of fear acting on their hearts directly affects the soldiers' fear of the unknown on the battlefield, thus creating a chain reaction.
Fear, panic, uncertainty, and so on can all further affect a soldier's state of mind, thereby affecting their ability to perform their combat duties.
"It's not mind interference, it's not an illusion, it's real fear!" Garth, who had used several secret techniques at lightning speed to check his condition, said the results of his examination with an extremely grim expression.
Having faced Zhang Ren and understood his explosive power, Rahul's core generals had mastered some related secret techniques to discern the extended effects of Zhang Ren's destiny.
After all, the power of destiny is real, but the anomalies caused by that power can be exempted to a certain extent, which is why similar secret techniques were created.
The essence of this power is to reduce, or weaken, the suppressive effect brought about by Zhang Ren's power to a certain extent.
Through actual use and combat, it demonstrated quite significant effects, so generals who had time to study it generally learned some techniques. (End of Chapter)
