Chapter 1204 Kushan's Decision
As Zhang Ren roared to the sky, the morale of the entire army continued to rise.
The already high morale was further strengthened after this roar. More importantly, in addition to the boost in morale, Zhang Ren's elite troops also gained confidence in winning this battle.
What was originally just a relatively strong momentum suddenly rose at the moment Zhang Ren raised his spear. The momentum was no longer an adjective, but was actually displayed in front of Deepak.
As a chain reaction occurred, the clouds became thicker and the soldiers' reactions became faster. The idealistic will turned the virtual into the real, bringing about an increase in hard power.
This kind of power made Deepak feel as if he saw Oswin holding up the golden sun.
"All soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Zhang Ren roared, remembering Huo Qubing's teachings firmly. No matter what kind of opponent you face, no matter whether you can win or not, at least you must first build up your momentum and let your soldiers feel your firm will.
When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. No matter whether you can win or not, you must pretend that you will win the battle.
Zhang Ren kept this in mind. He did not have Guo Hao's ability to increase the strength of his soldiers several times, but at least he had the courage to not lose to anyone.
Zhang Ren took the lead, roared, and kicked up his horse's hooves into the air, charging towards the Kushan regular army in front of him.
Deepak was not an opponent who could be easily defeated. Zhang Ren could tell this just by feeling the pressure coming from the wind.
Even if his headquarters and Ji Ling's headquarters besieged the enemy together, it is still questionable whether they can kill the enemy.
So Zhang Ren simply gave up Deepak and let him attack Ji Ling's headquarters. After all, even if Ji Ling's headquarters was defeated, they could still fight back for a while.
After all, Deepak did not take the last step. Even if he was strong, his strength was limited and nothing would happen in a short time.
So Zhang Ren turned his gun around and aimed at the ordinary Kushan soldiers.
If you want to bully the weak anyway, then pick the softest persimmon and effectively kill the opponent's combat power.
With fierce momentum, Zhang Ren's elite troops stood firm against the Kushan spears and finally defeated the enemy head-on.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Zhang Ren roared, and he was extremely excited.
He found that exhilarating feeling of being unstoppable and sweeping away everything.
"Retreat! I'll cover your retreat!"
Deepak was a little helpless, but he could not handle the situation alone. Although Ji Ling headquarters was no match for them, the problem could not be solved .
Originally, the central army would not have been so easy to be defeated, but Zhang Ren's momentum was too terrifying. Later, the soldiers in the central army were all afraid. Zhang Ren was so unstoppable that there was no way to continue fighting.
If the central army could stop Zhang Ren, he could kill Zhang Ren today.
His headquarters were the Royal Rangers, and they could exert their greatest strength when chasing fugitives, but now that the fight had turned out like this, he might as well lead his troops to retreat.
Zhang Ren brought helpers today, and he can't handle it alone. Wait for him to go back and gather all the people together to fight with Zhang Ren again.
"Deepak, don't run!" Zhang Ren was completely confused at this moment, and wanted to chase Deepak with a gun.
"General Zhang! Don't chase a desperate enemy, don't chase a desperate enemy!" Ji Lingren was dumbfounded. How dare they chase him? This is Kushan's territory.
Zhang Ren heard nothing at all and led his troops to charge directly towards Deepak.
"Asshole, do you really think you are invincible?" Deepak was furious. He was asking for more.
"Remove the shackles of the earth!"
The furious Deepak activated the radiance of his heart. Unlike Zhongyuan's legion talent, part of the power of this thing came from the Supreme Brahman.
It is more powerful than ordinary legion talents , but it is very difficult to activate. Not many people in the south and the north can activate it.
However, Deepak was an officer active on the battlefield after all, so it was natural for him to activate this talent.
Deepak's headquarters, freed from the restraints, immediately launched a counterattack towards Zhang Ren.
Although not as fast as a white horse, it is also incredibly fast.
In one round of charge, Zhang Ren's troops lost more than 400 people, while Deepak's troops lost less than 300 people.
Zhang Ren was counterattacked by Deepak and immediately calmed down a lot. The excitement he had just felt from bullying the weak opponent disappeared instantly. His base was not enough to support him in his push.
Looking at Ji Ling's headquarters that could not keep up, Zhang Ren began to adjust the lineup on the spot.
Seeing that Zhang Ren had no intention of continuing to pester them, Deepak took his troops and ran away. After all, they had lost, so even if he was stronger, it would be of no use.
"Hmph, Deepak, you run fast, so I'll let you go this time!"
Seeing Deepak slip away, Zhang Ren hurriedly made some boastful remarks. Anyway, according to what Huo Qubing told him, no matter how the victory came about, as long as they won, they must consolidate the results and build up the confidence of the soldiers. Even if it was false, it would become true after winning a few more times.
It doesn't matter if you lie to others, as long as you lie to yourself, it will come true.
Looking at Zhang Ren's impassioned speech, Ji Ling was speechless, but since he had won anyway, he did not come out to spoil the fun and echoed Zhang Ren with a few words.
On the other side, the Kushan generals who learned the news all looked solemn. Arvind and Rahul were the first to receive the news.
"How come it's so fast?"
Rahul frowned. Did the Han Dynasty discover something? Why did they start a war so quickly? Did they really have no scruples?
They were still not 100% sure about Cecilien's secret technique and thought they still had time, but they did not expect that the Han Dynasty would start to take action again.
"Send a message to His Majesty, and have the people in the secret arts room hurry up with the testing. We must perfect the resurrection secret arts as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot lose our sea power!"
Rahul gave the order with a serious face. He originally thought there was still time, but now it seems there is no time at all.
Compared with other secret arts that have room for improvement, the resurrection secret art must be put first. Otherwise, if the Kushan naval fleet is defeated, the Han Dynasty may completely bypass the current north-south defense line and force a landing in the Kushan safe zone directly from the sea.
"General, the two new Peacock Legions have not yet fully mastered their abilities. Do you think we should send them into the battlefield now?" Durga asked worriedly.
"Deploy them directly to the battlefield. Elite soldiers are killed, not trained. Transfer them to the front line immediately to suppress the subsequent attacks of the Han Dynasty!" Rahul gave the order in a firm tone.
They have set up no less than twenty camps in Nangui, plus all the major cities. Even if the Han Dynasty wants to eliminate them one by one, it will take a lot of time.
What they lack most now is time, so they must increase their efforts to delay the Han Dynasty's offensive speed.
Rahul knew that the significance of the peacocks lay in strategic threat, so at this critical juncture he chose to sacrifice the two new peacocks without hesitation in exchange for more time.
Rahul knew very well that after suffering the first wave of attacks, the Han Dynasty would take countermeasures without hesitation and kill the two peacocks.
But it's all worth it. For the overall situation, these two new peacocks have to sacrifice this price.
Of course, if these two peacocks can survive the brutal attack, they can be directly added to the old peacock, which is a two-pronged strategy.
"Tell Arvind to infiltrate all the newly trained troops into all the camps!" After Rahul came back to life, he became more open-minded about many things and desired nothing more than victory.
So Rahul directly chose to use miscellaneous soldiers into the battle. Anyway, it was easy to train double talents these days, and what the Kushans lacked the least were worthless miscellaneous soldiers.
Use miscellaneous soldiers to exchange for elite soldiers. When you cannot beat others, drag the opponent into your own rhythm. If you still cannot beat them, then exchange injuries for injuries until the opponent loses too much blood and exceeds the limit, and you are forced to stop this war of attrition.
Moreover, in the current environment, even if they have the worst double talents, ten of them can be exchanged for one of the strongest double-talented soldiers. The ratio is ten to one, and the Kushans can afford it.
This is a strategy used when a battle is almost certain to be lost on the battlefield, and the side that has no choice but to fight chooses to exchange its life for injury, risking its own life in order to injure the opponent who has the advantage and make them think about whether it is necessary to fight a battle of this level.
They had to make the Han Dynasty wary and force it to reconsider the cost of rashly launching a war, forcing the Han Dynasty to regroup and buy more time for them, the Kushans.
"There is a big problem with this way of fighting. Can we withstand the backlash from those miscellaneous soldiers? If they are afraid of death and retreat in the face of battle, we may suffer even greater losses!"
Durga still said worriedly that he was very pessimistic about the future, so he always thought about the worst, which was why Rahul liked to keep him by his side.
Whenever we know the worst consequences in advance, we will always be more cautious.
“Although the resurrection technology is not yet perfect, as long as the number is large enough, we can achieve resurrection. Tell those miscellaneous soldiers that they can see Brahma after death!” The coldness on Rahul’s face made Durga feel unfamiliar.
He vaguely discovered that Rahul seemed to have changed, becoming more rational and more resolute.
A terrible thought came to Durga's mind: Is the Rahul in front of him really Rahul?
“What are you waiting for!” Rahul looked at Durga with majestic eyes, and Durga quickly lowered her head and said she was leaving.
"Han Dynasty!" Rahul muttered these two words, with the gloom in his eyes lingering.
Following Rahul's order, Zhang Ren and Ji Ling encountered unprecedented resistance when they attacked the second camp after replenishing their troops.
"Damn, didn't they say that these frontline positions won't encounter too fierce resistance?" Zhang Ren spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said indignantly.
His road to invincibility was cut short before it even began. There were eighteen people with internal energy leaving their bodies hidden in the second camp. The commander of the second camp was Rahman, a veteran of the battlefield.
This would have been nothing, but Deepak, the lingering guy, not only came back, but also brought Kublai Khan with him.
Kublai Khan's headquarters is now also the Imperial Guard. Zhang Ren and his men may be able to resist, but it is a dream to win.
The most troublesome problem was that there were 50,000 people hiding in a small camp, which was twice the number they expected. If there weren't so many enemies, it wouldn't have been so difficult for them to fight. Even if they couldn't take them down, they could just turn around and run away. As a result, they didn't check it out and were caught off guard.
Zhang Ren himself was severely injured by Arjuna, the guardian of the second battalion, and his internal organs were churning.
"We seem to have underestimated the strength of the Kushans' counterattack. We should have cleaned up the camp and waited for rescue!" Ji Ling looked helpless.
Originally, according to Fa Zheng and others' speculation, the Kushans should focus on delaying time, exchanging space for time, constantly consuming their morale, and then waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.
However, they did not expect that they would encounter a counterattack from the enemy in just the second camp. If each camp was deployed on such a scale, the Kushans' determination to guard these camps might be more resolute than theirs.
"Are you planning to fight us in a war of attrition? That's exactly what I want!" After receiving Zhang Ren's message, Fa Zheng was stunned at first, then he laughed.
"Xiaozhi?" Liu Bei was a little surprised, but after such a long period of contact, he also knew what kind of person Fa Zheng was. He shouldn't be so crazy.
"Lord Xuande, do you know that although the Kushan move is good, what problems will it cause?" Fa Zheng stopped laughing and asked Liu Bei with a smile.
"Cruel laws chill people's hearts, which means people are dissatisfied. It is the system that is precious..."
After being stationed there for so long, Liu Bei also understood some of the problems within the Kushan system and the country. These deep-rooted problems were problems that the Kushan could not avoid, and even if they were solved, they were only partially solved.
The prejudice in people's minds is like a mountain. It is impossible to move it without the efforts of one or two generations.
"Although most people in Kushan are indifferent, there are also extraordinary ones among them!" Fa Zheng smiled and pointed at a city on the map.
"The garrison commander here... Kusroyi?" Liu Bei was confused at first, but immediately understood what Fa Zheng meant.
"Are you sure you can persuade this man to rebel?" Liu Bei asked cautiously. That was a legion of three talents, which was an extremely rare elite force even in the Han Dynasty.
More importantly, once such an officer was instigated to rebel, many of the Kushan arrangements would no longer be a problem for them.
"It was not us who instigated this man to rebel, but the Kushans who forced him to rebel!" Fa Zheng said with a smile.
"The Kushans will not use Dalits as soldiers. Even if it is a war of attrition, it will be the other two lower classes..." Xu Shu asked hesitantly.
He had a weak grasp of human nature and failed to understand Fa Zheng's meaning.
"It is not the scarcity of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. Even the other two lower classes are being used so cruelly, not to mention the Dalit class, which is already unpopular!"
Pang Tong whispered the problems faced by Khusroyi. The Kushans had indeed begun to change, but this change was not what Khusroyi wanted, nor what the Dalits wanted.
So Kusroyi will rebel, because Fa Zheng will use facts to bring about this result.
When Khusroyi is completely disappointed with the Kushans, he will begin to seriously consider the plan proposed by Fa Zheng.
The rebellion of such a three-talented legion would definitely cause tons of damage to the Kushans.
"Please give me a token, Lord Xuande, to gain the trust of Kusroyi!" Fa Zheng said with a bow.
After thinking for a moment , Liu Bei nodded. He also knew Kusroyi's identity and background. If such a person could turn from evil to good, it would indeed be much easier for them to attack Nangui.
