Chapter 1203: War breaks out again
As winter turns to spring, war breaks out again in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
However, it was completely different from before. The changes in the African continent forced Marche and others to rush back to the country at the speed of light and head towards Africa with their respective headquarters.
Compared with Great Britain and the Yuan family , the beasts were the easiest to deal with, and they had to hurry up and deal with them.
If the beast tide in Africa expands, they are likely to be restrained and counterattacked. They must advance before Great Britain can react.
However, thanks to the intelligence from Cuchulainn and others, Great Britain had already learned about the situation in Africa, and even knew it in more detail than the Roman Senate.
So after finding out about Rome's movements, he immediately sent a message to the Yuan family, asking them to join in the effort.
"General Huangfu has not returned yet. You, Yang Lin, will be in charge for the time being. Cooperate with Great Britain in the attack and bring pressure to Rome!"
After receiving the letter, Yuan Shao appointed Yang Lin as the commander-in-chief without any hesitation, and led Yuan's officers to counterattack.
Some wars are unavoidable. Since Great Britain has started a war, they must join in and intensify the conflict. Only by making the situation chaotic can they truly find a glimmer of hope.
"Great Britain is very sincere and has given us a method to create an army of heroes based on the wreckage of heaven. Although there should be a backdoor, it can still be used against Rome!" Xu You said calmly.
"Very good. Since there are no worries, let's use 100% of our strength to deal with Rome. There is no need to worry about Arnubis. We must contain these Roman eagle flags!"
Yuan Shao was very courageous and did not worry at all about subsequent retaliation from Rome.
"The Yuan family has agreed to take action. Should we also send troops?" Leonanis turned his head and looked at Artoria.
"Lucifer has taken over the role of vanguard and set off. Although he is not as strong as he was in Heaven, no one in Rome except Penelence should be able to stop him!" Altria analyzed the situation calmly.
"After all, we are the attacking side. The opponent can completely retreat to defend, and it will be difficult for us to break through!" Leondanis didn't quite understand.
He actually was not optimistic about this attack. The reason he agreed was just to cooperate with Altria's plan and demonstrate the ability of the heroic spirit to be resurrected as much as possible.
No matter how much you say, seeing it with your own eyes is easier to convince people.
As long as they can perform the miracle of resurrecting the heroes, the whole of Great Britain will have more confidence in the war, which is very important for Great Britain.
If you want to win, you must first give everyone hope.
So Great Britain sent troops. When the Han Dynasty received the news, it played all the cards in its hand without any hesitation.
All available forces were mobilized and headed in the two directions of Nangui and Beigui.
Especially Nangui, as soon as Guo Ziyi knew that Great Britain was sending troops, he sent people to start taking action.
Of course, the Nangui did not just wait there for such a long time. They set up many camps on the roads between the cities and stationed a large number of soldiers to guard against sudden attacks from the Han Dynasty.
So Guo Ziyi’s first step was to remove these obstacles.
The first to take the lead were Zhang Ren and Ji Ling, who led their troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops and rushed directly towards the Kushan camp.
Zhang Ren's advance was not fast. He adopted the method of accumulating momentum taught by Guan Yu to advance slowly, but every step forward was an accumulation.
By the time he arrived at the Kushan camp, Zhang Ren had already completed his preparations.
He didn't bring many people with him, but they were very imposing and stood in front of the battle.
The officers and soldiers in the Kushan camp did not dare to ignore Zhang Ren. They also recognized Zhang Ren, the True Lord of Tianfu, the false god wanted by the Kushan.
In fact, Zhang Ren was not under the control of the Kushan system of gods and Buddhas at all, but his power did come from the Kushan system of gods and Buddhas, and he forcibly took away a part of the Kushan system of gods and Buddhas.
This blatant act of theft was naturally hated by the Kushan Brahmin system, and a bounty was naturally put on Zhang Ren.
The first person to be rewarded is Guan Yu, the second is Zhang Ren, and even Zhuge Liang, such a huge threat, can only be ranked third.
"General, the Han army commander Zhang Ren has arrived in front of the camp to provoke us." After receiving the urgent report from the patrol camp, Rahula rushed to the central camp to inform the commander Deepak.
"Have the scouts been sent out?" Deepak frowned. He didn't expect that the Han Dynasty was actually planning to take action. Did they receive any intelligence?
However, they were not too panicked. Before, they were worried every day about whether the Han Dynasty would attack them. Now that the Han Dynasty attacked them openly, they felt a lot more relieved.
"It's already been sent out!"
Rāhula nodded calmly. As soon as he received the news, he sent out scouts to investigate to see whether the Han army was coming to harass them or to directly break camp.
After a while, a scout rushed into the tent.
"Report, General, there are no more Han troops within a radius of thirty miles." After confirming the authenticity of the scout's information, Rahula said to Deepak.
"Since you're here, it's nice to meet you." Deepak nodded. With only 20,000 people, it would be wishful thinking for them to take over their camp.
This camp can already be used as a simple city wall, and they have more people, so even if Zhang Ren wants to attack by force, it won't be easy.
"The camp is well arranged." Zhang Ren's headquarters stopped outside the camp, and Zhang Ren himself seemed to ignore the group of Kushan archers who were pointing bows and arrows at him from afar in the camp. He rode his horse and observed the arrangement of the Kushan camp as if no one was around.
"General Zhang, this is an iron barrel, it may be difficult to pull it out!" Ji Ling said a little worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we come here just to say hello. It doesn't matter if we can't get it!" Zhang Ren was very interested.
Although Fei Tian had observed the layout , he had a general grasp of the internal layout of the Kushan camp.
But that kind of long-distance observation is itself the key point that needs to be guarded against when setting up a camp.
Many things seen from the air can be easily obscured by obstacles deliberately arranged in the enemy camp, as well as tents and other things used to create confusion.
Naturally, now that he has the opportunity to observe closely, even if it is just the outer arrangements, it is also a good reconnaissance for Zhang Ren.
He wanted to fly up and take a closer look, but the archers in the camp were not there to do nothing. If he flew up rashly, he would probably be pierced to pieces.
Just as Zhang Ren was riding his horse to observe the outer layout of the enemy's camp and study the layout habits of the enemy's camp, Deepak, wearing a battle robe, ran over from the flank with his men.
"The Han army wants to start a war again? If the Han army is determined, I, the Kushans, don't mind accompanying you."
Deepak looked at Zhang Ren and spoke calmly. At this time, he had completely calmed down.
War is the general's destiny. They, the officers, cannot change the overall situation, so winning every war is what they should do most.
"Do you think you can win?" Zhang Ren looked at Deepak and asked with a faint smile.
"We'll know after the battle!" Deepak was unmoved. He had adjusted his mentality, so he would not be shaken by Zhang Ren's words.
"Interesting, how about we give it a try now?" Zhang Ren's body naturally tensed up, as if he could attack at any time.
“Do you have confidence?”
"Only 50% sure!"
Deepak and Rahula exchanged a quick look.
“Done!”
Deepak didn't waste any more words. Although the headquarters behind him didn't perform very well in the battle with Zhang Fei, now that they have overcome their fear, they are definitely stronger than before.
After exchanging a brief glance with Rahula, Deepak raised his hand and brought it down hard.
Suddenly, there burst out the terrifying murderous intent of a veteran general on the battlefield.
"Go! Capture him for me!"
Following Deepak's voice, Rahula and his personal guards rushed directly towards Zhang Ren.
The clouds that were connected by both sides burst out instantly, and the strength of everyone on the battlefield was immediately suppressed.
Deepak also led his troops behind him and launched a direct charge.
Zhang Ren and Ji Ling's troops are elite, and his troops are equally elite, and some are even stronger than Zhang Ren and his troops.
A person's greatest opponent is always himself. The fear aroused by Zhang Fei ultimately comes from themselves.
Although Kushan did not produce a big man like Huangfu Song who could wash talents back and forth, the combination of the gods and Buddhas system and Masinde's talents still gave Kushan the opportunity to let soldiers face themselves and break through.
The method is also simple, just like the Shenming in Japan, lend the power to the Kushan soldiers first, let the soldiers get used to it, and then take the power back.
Next, the soldiers will instinctively develop in the direction they were accustomed to before. Not only can they be trained at a specific location, but they can also be used to change their talents.
Therefore, the overall improvement on the Kushan side is very large. It was with the help of such an opportunity that Deepak led his headquarters to complete the sublimation and was only one step away from the three talents.
But Deepak estimated that unless he defeated Zhang Fei head-on, it would be unlikely for the headquarters to be promoted to the third talent.
Although they were no longer afraid, they still felt an indescribable fear when facing Zhang Fei. This fear blocked their path to the sublimation of their three talents.
In contrast, Oswald's progress was very smooth, and he completed his promotion almost at the same time as Deepak, but without any obstacles.
"clang!"
Facing Rāhula who was rushing towards him, Zhang Ren sneered, then swung the spear in his hand to the limit. Dozens of huge spear flowers with explosive sounds covered Rāhula who was rushing towards him.
However, the wheel dance of gun flowers did not cause any effect and was directly broken by the staff in Rāhula's hand. Then two wheel-like weapons flew out from Rāhula's hand and directly hit Zhang Ren's neck and mount.
"A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!" Zhang Ren, who was wielding the spear, used his most proficient spear technique almost instantly.
He felt the threat of death on two wheels.
As Zhang Ren fired the first shot, a series of gun shadows rushed forward with Feng Ming, and a huge fireball with golden flames quickly condensed.
At the same time, pieces of flames like wings were flying around the golden fireball. The beautiful picture was filled with a strong murderous intent!
Both Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun knew this move, but only Zhang Ren used it in its most authentic form, without any trace of modification.
Although it is also a reflection of Zhang Ren's poor talent, purity means stability and no accidents, at least for Zhang Ren.
The golden flame ball turned into a phoenix, hovering above the tip of Zhang Ren's gun. The golden wheel that was attacking his neck was evaporated the moment it touched the gun tip.
The golden wheel that was moving towards the mount almost instantly cut off the horse's head, causing Zhang Ren to fall to the ground.
“That was a close call!”
Zhang Ren was almost sweating coldly. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and used the power of Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix to evaporate the golden wheel, he might have been beheaded if he had used his gun to block it.
"Qi! It's not that easy to succeed!" Luohu Luo cursed inwardly, then rushed forward. Zhang Ren had lost his mount, so he couldn't think of leaving so easily today.
"One group on the left and right will go around, and the rest of the troops will attack, spread out the battle line, and outflank the enemy!"
While Zhang Renyi was fending off Rāhula, he roared loudly and gave orders, quickly commanding his elite headquarters to launch a counterattack.
But after all, with Rāhula restraining him, he was inevitably distracted and caught between two tasks. For a moment, he was surrounded by danger and had no time to continue commanding the army.
"General Zhang, I'm here to help you, you go and command the army!" Ji Ling rushed out from the side, fended off Rāhula, and then gave his mount to Zhang Ren.
"General Ji, be careful. The enemy has a hidden weapon that looks like a wheel, which has incredible destructive power!" Zhang Ren did not hesitate to comfort him casually, then rode his mount back to the midfield and began to give orders.
While mobilizing the soldiers of the legion, Zhang Ren quickly calculated, or directly judged by feeling, the opponent's next group combat method, and gave orders to crack it in advance.
Although it was just a melee involving more than 40,000 people, command was not completely useless. When there was no unstoppable and powerful general rushing forward, a certain amount of command assistance was still needed in combat.
Relying on this tactic of striving to be the first at every step, while Zhang Ren's and Ji Ling's headquarters were holding off Deepak, Zhang Ren infiltrated 3,000 men into the Kushan front line.
Looking at the Kushan cloud that began to show signs of collapse within a few breaths after infiltrating the front line, Zhang Ren sneered.
Although he was not the commander of a large army and could not command hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he was still able to handle a war involving less than 50,000 people.
Compared to Deepak, he showed great military talent.
He spent the New Year in Luoyang. After witnessing the battle between Guo Hao and Huangfu Song, he requested special training from Huo Qubing.
In the end, his guiding talent for judging faces turned into an idealistic talent, and even had a strong personal color of Huo Qubing.
Although Huo Qubing was not very satisfied with this, Zhang Ren felt that he had found a treasure.
Anyway, he doesn't need to command a large army, and he can replicate some of the boss's abilities. This is a huge profit.
"Follow me, our formation. In thirty breaths, we will charge forward a hundred steps! Our army will surely win this battle!" Zhang Ren raised his spear sideways and roared toward the sky.
Zhang Ren, holding the gun at an angle, burst out with a dazzling glow. A glow rose from his body and swept towards the soldiers behind him. The morale of the entire army continued to rise!
It really looks like there is some of Guo Hao's style of playing with the yin and yang of soldiers.
