Chapter 1207: The Beginning of the Defeat
"What happened?" Ji Ling, who had just felt relieved, was shocked.
The chaos in the camp was almost visible to the naked eye. After Zhao Yun and his men arrived, the riot not only did not subside, but became even more chaotic.
"Everyone calm down, form a battle line, form a battle line. Where have all the things you usually learn in training gone?" Ji Ling's roar woke the confused soldiers up from their dreams.
"Report to the general, the front camp has been breached, General Zhao is covering our rear and we have to evacuate quickly!" said a smart soldier to Ji Ling.
"What? General Zhao ordered you to retreat!" Ji Ling was shocked.
"Everyone listen to my command. Centurions and thousand men raise your weapons and assemble and retreat in batches!"
Although Ji Ling didn't know what was going on, he still gave the order to retreat because of his trust in Zhao Yun.
But the retreat also depends on how it is done. This kind of chaotic retreat is bound to cause trouble, so it is time to gather in small groups first.
Ji Ling's arrangements were very well-organized. The originally chaotic camp was quickly assembled under Ji Ling's arrangement.
However, before Ji Ling could start giving orders, a burst of energy came from the tent behind him and knocked him out.
Zhang Ren, with red eyes, holding a spear, rushed towards Ji Ling.
"What happened?"
Zhang Ren's mind was a mess, and the inexplicable voice affected his thoughts .
Zhang Ren climbed up from the bed and went out with his spear in hand.
Before he stepped out of the tent, he could sense the chaos outside the tent and the strange aura emanating from the black shadow outside the tent.
Zhang Ren's scalp tingled and he instinctively swung out a burst of energy, wanting to kill the other party.
However, when Zhang Ren walked out, he saw that it was Deepak.
The camp was actually filled with Kushan soldiers, and there were traces of war everywhere.
Zhang Ren didn't have time to think, he rushed towards Deepak and captured Deepak. Although he didn't know what happened, he still had a glimmer of hope at this moment.
"General Zhang!" Ji Ling fended off Zhang Ren's attack in a desperate manner.
It was obvious from Zhang Ren's current condition that he was ambushed, but Zhang Ren's moves were so fierce that there was no sign of him being controlled at all.
"You retreat first! I will control General Zhang!"
Seeing the chaos in the front camp rolling towards this side, Ji Ling immediately shouted.
The soldiers in the central camp retreated, but this time the retreat was orderly, without the previous chaos.
In the front camp, Zhao Yun led his subordinates and the soldiers of the front camp to fight and retreat.
Rahul was full of doubts. Just now, in order to defeat the two wings, he gave the command of the front to Durga.
Logically speaking, Durga shouldn't be a match for Zhao Yun, but now it looks like a 50-50 situation.
But it didn't matter. The collapse of the two wings meant that Zhao Yun on the front had to retreat even if he maintained a balance.
"General, we have activated Tianfu Zhenjun!" reported the Brahmin priest on the side.
Rahul smiled and waved him off.
I have to say that these guys are sometimes quite useful. Last time, the Han Dynasty took advantage of the loopholes in the system of gods and Buddhas and beat them badly.
Now, under the leadership of the Trimurti, the Brahmin priests have patched up the loopholes in the system of gods and Buddhas, and in turn have begun to punish those who exploited the loopholes by banning their titles.
According to the intelligence we received before, Guan Yu had already fallen and would not be able to fight in the short term. Now that Zhang Ren has also fallen, it is indeed good news for them.
No matter what, it is always beneficial to kill two of the enemy's generals before starting a war.
Zhao Yun on the front side frantically imitated Huangfu Song's command methods in his memory, and forcibly blocked the unstoppable Kushan army.
He knew very well that every extra time he gained would make their escape easier, so Zhao Yun was madly squeezing out his potential.
Fortunately, he had seen many simulated battles between Huangfu Song and the God of War, so no matter how intense the attack was, he could find a way to deal with it from his memory.
His legionary talent allows him to remain unaffected by any situation and handle any trouble calmly.
"Rain of arrows to suppress!" Durga roared and gave the order. Under the command of the lower-level officers under her command, the Kushan archers drew their bows and shot arrows at the Han army that was resisting head-on.
However, the soldiers under Zhao Yun did not avoid at all. They were all wearing armor and just lowered their heads to take the attack. Even if some elite archers could shoot through the armor, the silk lining would block it. As long as it was not a vital part, they would hardly be seriously injured.
"Put it in."
Zhao Yun looked at the sunken defense line on the flank, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, and coldly issued a new military order.
He took the initiative to give way to the battle line that was on the verge of breaking, and then launched a counterattack the moment the Kushan soldiers entered the defense line, directly annihilating the enemy.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's talent that allowed the soldiers to remain absolutely calm, the battle line would have collapsed completely.
However, Zhao Yun relied on this talent to maintain the stability of the front line, and continued to retreat and shrink the defense line, lengthening the Kushan front line while reducing the area of engagement.
"Okay, it's about time for you to leave. You've wasted too much time." Rahul looked at Zhao Yun who was resisting from the rear.
He had to admit that the Han Dynasty was indeed full of talented people. Zhao Yun, who did not perform very well in his last big move, this time stood out on his own and showed a stunning scene.
However, it is amazing, but just amazing. A person who can counter each opponent's moves cannot be the commander of a large army.
"Peacock, get ready!"
After Rahul previewed Zhao Yun's two waves of operations, he immediately gave the order one wave ahead of Zhao Yun.
"Victory will definitely belong to Kushan!"
Rahul stood on the saddle and spoke slowly the moment he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, with the help of his clairvoyance and the elephant's own height, he could already see the rear camp of the Han army.
"All peacocks change to special bows and arrows, and shoot with all their strength." Rahul calmly blessed all the peacock soldiers with the ability of clairvoyance. Next, it was time to release the last fang of the Kushan.
In front of Zhao Yun, the soldiers of the Peacock Legion put on the special super-large crossbows and pulled them open with calm expressions. Although their arms were trembling, they still pulled the crossbows steadily.
Looking at the determined expressions of the Peacock Soldiers behind him, Rahul nodded with satisfaction. Although they were just a group of semi-finished products, they were able to shoot a powerful arrow and had the ability to crush the battle line.
"put!"
Following Rahul's order, all the peacocks released their bowstrings.
The arrow, as sharp as a spear, shot towards Zhao Yun with fire and scream.
Rahul didn't even look at the result of the shooting. He just raised his sword and drove the war elephant under him to roar.
"All troops charge!"
Rahul led the Peacock Legion and all the regular soldiers to charge towards Zhao Yun.
The moment he saw the arrow fly out of his hand, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly reacted.
However, it was of no use. After Zhao Yun deflected several arrows shot at him, the battle line had completely collapsed.
However, before Zhao Yun could mobilize his troops to regroup, Rahul had already led the most elite Peacock Legion and the headquarters of his officers and soldiers to rush towards Zhao Yun.
The morale of the Han army collapsed completely. No matter how powerful Zhao Yun's talent was, it had its limit after all, and the soldiers began to panic.
"What are you waiting for? Charge forward and crush the battle line!"
Rahul's roar sounded, and all the Kushan officers and soldiers burst out with their ultimate strength at once. Regardless of their own danger, they took themselves as the vanguard and led their troops to madly attack the Han army's defense line even though their positions would be exposed due to the blessings of gods and Buddhas!
The defense line was broken on the spot, and no matter how Zhao Yun mobilized his troops, he was powerless to save the situation.
From the very beginning, Rahul did not hold back at all. Rahul himself was an expert in military strategy and he calculated every step carefully, trying his best to make the war develop in the direction he estimated.
For this kind of person, as long as the army battle enters the round he set, it is basically impossible to get out.
Unless the opponent's commander can directly turn the tables on him, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Zhao Yun is very strong, and his command level is definitely not low. However, he is not the commander-in-chief of a large army after all. When he commands the army, he still imitates others, which is rigid and fixed, even though Rahul reads the command in advance.
The command nodes were completely exposed, and after a wave of attacks from Peacock, all the command lines were broken. Even if Huangfu Song was here at this moment, he would be powerless to save the situation, let alone Zhao Yun.
Although the Han army's combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Kushan elite soldiers, and there was not much difference in the frontal strength of the two sides, they encountered Rahul's calculations from the very beginning, so naturally they had no chance of winning.
"We must not be defeated here!"
Zhao Yun opened his eyes wide with anger, his legionary talents were brought to the extreme, the internal energy in his body surged out crazily, instantly connecting with every soldier under his command, and using himself to forcibly support the command line.
Even if the battle line is completely broken, these soldiers can still exert their full combat effectiveness.
"He can actually achieve this level!" Rahul was stunned. He knew that Zhao Yun was a super strong man, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.
Relying on the clouds left over from the broken battle line and his own huge internal energy, it can be said that he supported the entire army by himself.
"Is this still a human?" It was the first time that Rahul had seen this kind of general. He turned his gaze to Moggallana beside him.
"It requires almost fifty times the internal energy of a normal boundary-breaking warrior to do this." The other party shook his head, his expression a little unnatural.
He is practicing two paths at the same time, but looking at Zhao Yun now, he can't help but examine himself and wonder if it would be better for him to specialize in one path.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength Zhao Yun displayed now reminded him of Brahma who was besieged at that time.
This kind of inner strength is simply not something a human can achieve.
"Forget it!" Rahul had no choice but to wave his hands.
This thing is really beyond his knowledge, but if he just rebuilds the defense line, he still has a way to destroy it.
"Follow me!"
Rahul grabbed the reins, held the sword, roared, and drove the war elephant towards the front line that had repelled the Kushans.
The Kushan soldiers avoided the places they passed by.
For large animals like war elephants, what humans call armor does not mean much to them.
Even a legion like the Second Augustus would be lying on the ground after being hit by them. Without extraordinary powers, their elephants would only produce tons of power.
In this extraordinary world, even a war elephant with condensed internal energy can unleash extremely terrifying power.
Like a heavy hammer, after the Peacock Legion urged the elephants to charge, Zhao Yun was powerless to turn the tide .
"withdraw!"
After taking two blows from the elephant's trunk, Zhao Yun could only let his soldiers flee.
He was able to block it, but the soldiers under his command were instantly blown into the sky by the elephant's attack.
Moreover, the Kushan soldiers on the elephants were still attacking with dragon spears and had no way to resist this level of attack.
The defense lines he constructed were torn apart by the enemy before they could even show their due effect.
The defeat of the front camp completely sealed the Han army's defeat.
When Zhao Yun retreated to the central camp, he was shocked to see Ji Ling fighting , and quickly knocked Zhang Ren unconscious.
"I don't know what's going on. General Zhang has completely lost his mind!" Ji Ling said helplessly.
"Don't worry about it. The front camp has been defeated. Have you notified General Huang in the rear camp?" Zhao Yun put Zhang Ren on the horse and asked quickly.
"I have sent my personal guards to notify them!" Ji Ling nodded affirmatively.
"I'm afraid we're in great danger this time. You stay here and organize the soldiers to retreat. I'll go to the rear camp now!"
"If my guess is correct, we should have been surrounded now. I'm afraid we will encounter a lot of ambushes on our way back. I need to use my talent to hold on!"
Zhao Yun explained everything quickly. His mind was particularly clear at this moment and he had fully reacted.
Defeating them is just Rahul's first step. This whole process is probably an ambush from all sides.
They absolutely cannot continue to stay here. They must gather their troops and retreat in their own direction.
"This is a big trouble! I hope Yide and the others can react!" Zhao Yun's face turned pale.
Rahul's intention was clear. He would defeat them by ambushing them from all sides, and then when the reinforcements arrived, he would use these defeated soldiers to attack the reinforcements, and then destroy them along with the reinforcements.
The worst thing is that even if he knew this, he had no way to get away now. The other party came too fast and too coincidentally.
This place itself is a trap. They have already jumped in. If they want to escape, they will have to pay a heavy price.
They were too arrogant and let down their guard when they saw that Arvind and Temujin did not leave their positions.
They thought that the Kushans were going to use the lower castes to fight a war of attrition with them, and they were prepared to take down these camps step by step.
He was disturbed by Guan Yu's strange behavior and hurried over to support Zhang Ren.
Unexpectedly, these were all conspiracies and the other party actually launched a counterattack.
If he was not mistaken, the commander just now should be Rahul.
The other party was actually resurrected, and the Kushan experiment of resurrecting people was actually successful!
