Chapter 1146: The news that makes me sad
"Be on guard. Spread out all-out optical reconnaissance. Don't miss any clues!"
Just as Murong Ke had expected, after encountering a sudden attack, Raphael quickly adjusted the advancing style of the angel army, from bold pursuit to steady progress.
The travel speed dropped by half almost instantly.
"It's still troublesome!" Murong Ke felt a little painful. The three world-breaking bomb sneak attacks only caused such little damage.
This was also the reason why he felt he could not win before. The Angel Legion was different from any other legion. There was no such thing as injuries in this legion, only deaths.
If they cannot be killed immediately, the opponent's recovery holy light will instantly heal the injuries. This alone makes them considered a rogue unit among the Royal Guards.
However, the other party followed the rhythm he expected, which was a good thing. All he had to do next was follow the script.
"Iron Eagle Warriors, shoot!"
The Iron Eagle Warrior, who was somewhat similar to the Vanguard, raised the powerful crossbow that the Chen family had obtained from the center.
The Military Soul Corps' equipment is almost always the first to be replaced with new technology every time there is a technological innovation. However, most of the obsolete equipment is thrown into the warehouse. After all, the Royal Guards also have their own customized equipment.
However, it would be too wasteful to give these advanced equipment to ordinary legions, and they could not even be used normally, so they were simply distributed to the major families at a half-sold rate to support their establishment.
After all, up to now, except for the Yuan family which has barely established itself, the other families are still in the transformation stage.
However, if we consider the opponents that the Yuan family faces, even the Yuan family cannot be considered to have a foothold. After all, the first criterion for a foothold is the ability to survive.
If the Han Dynasty withdraws its aid now, the Yuan family will probably be instantly killed by the first wave of Roman attacks.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
As the trigger was pulled, thousands of crossbow arrows pierced the sky and shot towards the Angel Guards.
After three rounds of bursts, the Iron Eagle Warriors turned around and ran. This was Murong Ke's instructions: no matter what they had gained, they should immediately turn around and run after shooting.
"trouble!"
Murong Ke looked at the few gains and his brows furrowed deeper. He did not take those dual-talented believers seriously. The main threat still came from these royal guards angels, and their extraordinary vitality magnified this threat infinitely.
Although the Iron Eagle Warriors are not considered to be genuine super elite troops, and are barely even considered the Imperial Guards, their strength on paper is not weak. One of the paper statistics is that their shooting speed, shooting accuracy, and shooting power are slightly inferior to those of the Vanguard.
After three waves of arrow rain of this magnitude, only a few of these angel guards were shot dead. When they were hit, these angels consciously shielded each other from the arrows, and only a few were shot in vital parts.
And injuries are not a big problem for these angels.
However, Murong Ke did not take it seriously. This was just a test, and also a warning to Raphael and Uriel. As long as the other party had concerns, all problems would be under his control.
"Let me see if the so-called angel can withstand the poison!" Murong Ke made a lot of preparations to deal with the angel.
A batch of deadly poisons purchased by the Zhao family from a medical company took effect at this moment. After the angels healed their injuries, various abnormalities soon appeared.
"It's poison, prepare for the purification ritual!"
Uriel was the first to notice something was wrong and immediately led his troops to launch rescue measures.
In essence, all magical actions are actually the distortion of reality by will, and angels have some experience in this regard. A seemingly mysterious ritual will strengthen the psychological suggestion and make the effect better.
"It's effective, so let's adopt plan three next!" Murong Ke looked at the angels who were obviously abnormal, and silently ordered his men to cut the subsequent arrangements by one third.
Too much is as bad as too little. He has successfully made the angels extremely cautious. If he intensifies the persecution, the other side might just turn around and leave.
Although he didn't want to win, Murong Ke didn't want to lose either, and these noble families also needed an explanation to their subjects, so they had to drag this army of angels, wait for Huangfu Song's support, and then annihilate this army of angels.
The direction they are heading is the only way Huangfu Song will take on his way to support them. Otherwise, they would not be so sure that Huangfu Song would come to rescue them.
Under Murong Ke's arrangement, the army of angels once again defeated several ambushes and broke through several lines of defense, which made Raphael and Uriel doubt themselves.
"Could it be that the previous wave was their last resort?" Uriel asked Raphael hesitantly.
The quick and easy military capability once again presented a problem. In their subjective and conscious minds, they had undoubtedly taken control of the overall situation after so many consecutive victories.
No matter how high your spirits were, you would suddenly feel relieved after these consecutive victories.
"Have these humans really run out of tricks?" Even Raphael began to doubt.
What people fear most is falling into self-doubt. When they come to some conclusions through thinking, they will firmly believe in what they have deduced.
As the saying goes, when humans think, God laughs. It is always like this.
The truth obtained in a limited environment may sometimes seem extremely absurd, but it was regarded as the golden rule at the time.
"Damn it, we were deceived!" Raphael came to the conclusion that Murong Ke wanted him to draw.
Murong Ke's show of weakness gave Raphael an illusion that they only needed to withstand the pressure and launch a fierce attack, and then the human side would be kicked down like a rotten house.
From extreme self-confidence to extreme caution, and then to extreme anger, Raphael and Uriel fell completely into Murong Ke's trap.
"It worked. It went even smoother than I expected!"
When Murong Ke saw that the speed of the angel army suddenly increased, and even the guards and the double talents showed obvious stratification, Murong Ke knew that he had succeeded.
However, tactical success is only the beginning, and the tough battle is yet to come.
But he was well prepared. The continuous failures on his side had tempered his soldiers. They had gone from being a group of empty shells with strength but no will to being fulfilled.
Especially the Iron Eagle Warriors. After seeing that the rain of arrows yielded no results, their originally proud and conceited hearts began to waver. The Great Zhou Tiger Guards of the Cui family also felt sad after seeing the failure of the Iron Eagle Warriors, who were apparently a super elite.
Although there was no change in the overall strength, Murong Ke directly stretched the lower limit of this hastily assembled army through continuous defeats.
At least in Murong Ke's eyes, even if the entire army was deployed at this moment, there was still a three-point chance of winning.
However, Murong Ke was the commander of a large army of evil forces after all. Even if he had a chance of winning, he still maintained the style of fighting and retreating, dragging the army of angels all the way to Huangfu Song's face.
"What a great tactic. I wonder who is in charge, but they can actually lead the enemy by the nose. It's amazing!" Huangfu Song was amazed after reading the battle report.
"All troops, prepare for battle. Now that they have set up the stage, it's time for us to go on stage!"
After reading the battle report sent back by Bai Ma, Huangfu Song immediately understood how to fight this battle.
"How could such a powerful commander of a large army be unknown in the Han Dynasty?" Sima Yi became suspicious, and he felt puzzled because he could understand it.
He had information about all the famous people in the Han Dynasty, and he memorized it deeply in his mind.
His imaginary enemy is Zhuge Liang, a peerless freak who can maximize all talents. In order to understand Zhuge Liang's methods, Sima Yi naturally put a lot of effort into intelligence.
But according to the information he had, the Han Dynasty should not have the ability to command such a large army.
Just when he wanted to continue thinking, the pain coming from his mind made him fall off his horse and roll on the ground in pain.
If it weren't for the fact that Sima Yi was physically strong enough and one of the best among the counselors, this blow would be enough to send him to meet the ancestor of the Sima family.
"Someone, take Sima Zhongda aside!"
When Huangfu Song saw that Sima Yi's old illness had recurred, he immediately ordered someone to drag Sima Yi away.
After the heavenly calamity incident, Sima Yi was often like this. Such a good strategist was unable to think and even his spiritual talents could not be used. He was almost useless.
Sima Yi was also helpless. The moment the heavenly calamity struck, he had already cancelled the ban on his talent.
However, the mental power that he had not yet had time to withdraw was almost instantly severely damaged by the heavenly calamity. If it were not for the fact that there was an information body inside that had little impact on the outside world, he might have been turned into a fool by the heavenly calamity.
Even so, Sima Yi also suffered from headaches, which were the fluctuations of the heavenly calamity attached to his mental power, which would burst out from time to time.
Sima Yi will probably have to remain in this state until this power is completely consumed.
The original plan was to send Sima Yi directly back to Luoyang, as the trip would take less than a day anyway. But then the angel incident suddenly occurred, and Huangfu Song could only let Sima Yi stay with him temporarily.
After the matter is over, send Sima Yi back to Luoyang.
At least when his brain was not acting crazy, Sima Yi was still an outstanding strategist, and there were only a few who could match him.
"Ju Yi, let your heavy crossbowmen seize the opportunity and take them down in one wave when the time comes!" Huangfu Song gave simple instructions.
Then he commanded the cavalry to charge first. The super heavy cavalry was specially trained by Huangfu Song to break through the enemy's formation. The commander of the corps was Zhang He.
A long time ago, Zhang He was caught by Ju Yi and killed in a wave of attacks due to his fragile skin. As a result, Zhang He has always been worried about his frontal defense ability and even suffered from a phobia of insufficient defense.
So Huangfu Song modified the elite talents of the heavy cavalry and directly created a super heavy cavalry.
With a deadweight of one ton and over two hundred kilograms of plate armor, combined with impact relief and heavy armor defense, it can be said that they are completely a group of tank cavalry.
Moreover, combined with Zhang He's own legion talent - agility, this group of tank cavalry has mobility, which directly maximizes its lethality.
When it comes to the Royal Guards, the gap between the various legions is actually narrowing, because even purely defensive troops will refine one or two strength talents to enhance their lethality.
This is also the source of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's lethality. They can only take a beating, but cannot live up to the name of the Iron Cavalry.
And that was what Zhang He was doing at this moment. The super heavy cavalrymen held dragon spears and wantonly vented their powerful knights. The legion of 5,000 people was united in momentum, and the spearhead was like a mountain, smashing down with surging fighting spirit.
The angel warriors who were also members of the Royal Guards were strung together by the dragon spears like candied haws. Even the angels who avoided the spears were sent flying under the impact of the super-heavy cavalry.
The super heavy cavalry, like a mountain, directly cut off the unsuspecting angel legion. Raphael and Uriel, whose attention was distracted too much by Murong Ke, could not help even if they used all their reconnaissance to detect the arrival of the super heavy cavalry in advance. The defense line they hastily built was like paper in front of the super heavy cavalry.
The angels' counterattack was like a tickle to the overweight rider. Under the clouds, the attack of the essence of heaven and earth was suppressed, and physical blows were still the main force.
But the heavy plate armor of the cavalry can directly block all these attacks.
"Zhang Junyi did a great job. He hit the target with one strike and destroyed the enemy's cloud connection to the greatest extent!"
Huangfu Song exclaimed, "Should we say he is worthy of being one of the Four Pillars of Hebei?" His performance is indeed worthy of this honor.
Zhang He's attack seemed ordinary, but it accurately found that the angel army had a problem with its luck link due to its hasty mobilization. After it was cut off, the opponent did not have the ability of a god of war and had no chance of rebuilding the cloud.
However, before Huangfu Song could finish his thought, the separated angel cloud returned to normal again.
“This is impossible!”
Huangfu Song was stunned. Even if he was put in the position of the angels, it was still unclear whether he could do it. Even if he did it, it would not be so fast. How did the other party do it?
"Fortunately!" Uriel on the other side breathed a sigh of relief. What he inherited happened to be Caesar's ability to reorganize after defeat.
Even in the worst environment and situation, he would try to reorganize the formation.
"Damn it! Xu Rong assists me in command!"
Huangfu Song did not dare to be careless and immediately became serious. The power of the God of War seemed to be happening in front of him. For a moment, he began to worry whether the current situation was a trap set by the other party.
Then, under Huangfu Song's doubtful gaze, the angels were brutally slaughtered, and were killed by the serious Huangfu Song without any chance to fight back.
Even after annihilating the Angel Guards, Huangfu Song also dispersed the hundreds of thousands of dual-talented believers and captured them all.
"Damn it, this is the commander of the large army mentioned in the intelligence!" After understanding the situation, Huangfu Song's face turned black.
He can easily turn the miscellaneous soldiers into hundreds of thousands of talents, and the formation will be broken but the clouds will not dissipate. Any one of these abilities would be enough to reach the level of a military god.
Even if his own foundation is not up to standard, but if someone with these abilities is under his command, Huangfu Song will have the confidence to fight against the God of War.
If this happened in the hands of a genuine military god, who knows what kind of chaos would happen.
Huangfu Song realized that the Roman intelligence was a lie and quickly sent someone to send Sima Yi back to Luoyang and bring the intelligence back with him.
As expected, if the information is not verified by oneself, even a single punctuation mark cannot be trusted.
You call a legion commander who possesses some of the qualities of a god of war a grand legion commander, and that's fine, but it can be fatal.
