Chapter 1246: The Strange Direction of War
The clouds are not static. Each legion has a connection point, and these connections have to be arranged very carefully for fear that someone will cut them off.
Many times, when a cloud connection is cut off, the consequences are unpredictable, which is also the dilemma that Tianshennu is facing now.
When Guan Yu broke through two lines of defense and headed straight for His direction, he had actually cut off part of the cloud connection and will connection like a sharp blade.
It is like a short circuit in a synthetic circuit. There may not be any problem in the short term, but as it develops gradually, it will directly lead to destructive consequences.
After Guan Yu stared at Rahul's military deployment for a long time, he finally decided to cut off the connection of the Kushan army and then command the army to counterattack.
This kind of thing is basically impossible for a normal legion to do, but it is very easy to do if it is replaced by a school swordsman. As long as there are a large number of shield guards behind them, the presence of these shield guards is basically enough to cut off the communication of the Kushan army's clouds and create considerable opportunities for Guan Yu and the Han army.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Guan Yu concentrated all the shield guards in order to restrict Tianshinu's command and dispatch. Now, seeing Tianshinu's rapid mobilization, Guan Yu can often cut off Tianshinu's command while imitating her.
After all, Rahul was commanding the entire army in the rear, and Guan Yu was even in the center of the battlefield, so Guan Yu discovered Tian Shinu's target earlier than Tian Shinu, and his predictions about Tian Shinu were always favorable.
After all, Guan Yu has reached this point, and it is no longer a rootless duckweed for him to pre-read Tianshinu's command, especially when he can clearly see the fluctuations of will and the associated fluctuations of nodes on another aspect. Guan Yu can instantly guess what Tianshinu's goal is by combining his own offensive.
In addition, Tianshinu is not Rahul's fatal weakness. Guan Yu now knows Rahul even better than Tianshinu. This leads to Guan Yu not daring to say that his guess is always correct, but he can basically guarantee a 70% to 80% accuracy.
More importantly, Guan Yu was on the front line, and no one could face Guan Yu's troops head-on, which allowed Guan Yu to quickly gain the upper hand.
What’s more important is that although Guan Yu did not continue to charge, the feeling of having his knife on Tianshun’s chest made Tianshun a little crazy.
After all, Guan Yu's command and dispatch were superior to his at the moment, and Guan Yu himself had not yet started the final step of the military situation, but the various Han forces had already shown enough pressure for the Kushans to cope with with all their strength.
Tianshi Nu's trump card, the New Peacock Legion, has been completely locked down by Huang Zhong, the Shesheng Battalion and the Changshui Battalion. Unless the Peacock Legion is willing to exchange its lives for an uncertain outcome, it will be absolutely impossible for them to launch a second round of rain of arrows.
Although the Shesheng Battalion and the Changshui Battalion have their own problems, the greatest significance of the existence of these two legions is to eliminate all uncertainties on the battlefield.
Even though the New Peacock was also a rogue army, it was still useless under the dual interference of Shesheng and Changshui.
If Guan Yu's will had not covered him, Peacock could still try fixed-point shooting to influence the direction of the battlefield. However, after Guan Yu's will covered and blocked his clairvoyance, Peacock became completely blind.
If they could find a place to output at a fixed point, they could still readjust the trajectory and launch the attack, but under the interference of Changshuiying, adjusting the trajectory is a false proposition.
What's even more terrible is that if they don't keep moving, the Shesheng Battalion will attack with all their strength without hesitation, using headlocks and fatal attacks to directly kill Peacock's archers.
Without Peacock's shooters, Peacock will completely lose the ability to attack beyond visual range. At that time, they will be just a special legion that simply controls elephants.
Originally, the Kushans could rely on the invasion of gods and Buddhas to directly transform the elephants into the Kushan divine guards. In this way, the elephant cavalry without psychological problems was actually not inferior to the chariot corps.
Moreover, it will be more agile than the chariot corps and can exert a stronger suppressive effect on the battlefield.
But unfortunately, the Kushans failed, and the Trimurti could not derive the concept of Ganesha from the imaginary world of gods, and no one continued to bring up this topic afterwards.
This is also the reason why the three gods have always acted cautiously, because although they seem to have mastered all the powers of the Supreme Brahman, there are still many things they cannot do, such as deriving the little elephant god.
You should know that in mythology, the baby elephant god is the son of Shiva, and theoretically should be completely controlled by Shiva .
However, considering that in mythology, the little elephant god is also an incarnation of the Supreme Brahman, Peacock did not become the Kushan God Guard in the end, and could only serve as a beyond-visual-range artillery to deter the battlefield.
The Han Dynasty had long been aware of the destructiveness of the Peacock Army, so this time the Shesheng and Changshui troops led by Huang Zhong were specially fine-tuned and specifically targeted at the capabilities of the Peacock Army.
"The command rhythm has been completely seen through, and the army has been cut off?" Tianshi Nu squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of Guan Yu. Tianshi Nu, who was in the central camp, could not see Guan Yu at all.
However, from the place where the clouds were broken and the information received, Tianshi Nu had already judged the situation ahead. She knew clearly where Guan Yu was, and she also knew clearly that the army's command was being dismantled by Guan Yu.
Although not all commands were dismantled, many counterattack mobilizations were destroyed before they were implemented.
It was as if Guan Yu had foreseen everything in advance. The remaining areas that were not destroyed were also unsuccessful due to the lack of coordination from other forces. The balance on the battlefield had completely begun to tilt towards the Han Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that the ordinary Kushan army was not afraid of death at all and had no fluctuations in will, I'm afraid the morale of the Kushan side would have completely collapsed by now.
Of course, the most important problem now lies with Devi herself, and the oracle who imitates Rahul and the Trimurti has come into serious conflict at this moment.
Rahul would never abandon the command of the entire battlefield to target a legion just because of its special nature. Even though Zhang Ren is indeed very important, what deserves more attention at the moment is obviously Guan Yu and the shield wall behind him that has begun to cut through the Kushan clouds.
But that was Rahul, and He was the Virgin who extended the will of the Trinity. The two conflicting thoughts began to collide and tear apart, which was good news for Guan Yu.
Although he was completely unable to judge the opponent's strategic purpose due to the chaotic command of Tianshi Nu, it was obvious that the source of Tianshi Nu's confusion was concentrated on Zhang Ren and him.
Therefore, Guan Yu directly mobilized all the legions to cooperate with Zhang Ren in the battle. At this moment, there were only two whirlpools on the battlefield, one was the offensive and defensive vortex where Zhang Ren was, and the other was the vortex where Guan Yu was.
"Kusroyi, you traitor!" Nilanjan roared angrily. The chaotic command from Tiansuru caused Nilanjan to be separated from the Kushan army for reorganization. As a result, Nilanjan ran into Kusroyi as soon as he came out.
Niranjan, who didn't understand the situation at first, was still planning to go up and help Kusroyi deal with Zhang Fei. After all, Tianshennu didn't give any other orders at this time, so naturally his judgment would be the main thing.
Moreover, Zhang Fei is almost the first in the strategic threat ranking of the Kushans. The Dawn of Khusroei is indeed good, but the Youyun Cavalry that wants to defeat Zhang Fei is not shown at all, so it is obvious that they need help.
However, when Niranjan approached, he found that Kusroyi was not fighting to the death with Zhang Fei, but the two were joining forces to attack the flank of the Kushan army.
Niranjan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but he soon realized that it was no wonder that Zhao Yun and the others were able to escape last time. It turned out that there was a traitor among them.
"Kusroyi! You bastard! Go to hell!" Niranjan roared and led more than 7,000 men from the Pato Armored Regiment to attack Kusroyi.
After a moment's delay, the Kushan Divine Guards quickly followed Tianshennu's instructions and began to counterattack the attacks of Kusroyi and Zhang Fei with Niranjan as the center and cooperate with Niranjan.
"Let's fight!" Kusroyi shook his head sadly as he looked at Niranjan who had lost his mind. As the contact between them lasted longer and longer, he could already clearly sense the parasitic thoughts in the bodies of these former comrades.
The thinking of both sides is now like a Tai Chi diagram, you are in me and I am in you. It is only a matter of time before they are completely replaced like the Kushan Divine Guards. There is no possibility of salvation at all.
The best way now is to bring death to Niranjan. Only in this way can Niranjan be separated from the gods and Buddhas.
However, gods and Buddhas are immortal. They are completely a projection. Even if the gods break the world, they cannot completely wipe them out. This is the case with Kailash who died at the hands of Zhao Yun before.
Kailash was indeed dead, but the great Asura god in Kailash did not die. Instead, he descended again through the so-called reincarnation, which is the channel between the fantasy world and reality.
Just like the previous heaven, only by destroying the core of the fantasy world of gods can the fantasy world of gods, which has absorbed the beliefs and offerings of the Kushans for so many years, be completely destroyed.
This is also the reason why it is necessary to finish the battle in one go. Guan Yu is very clear about this, because no one knows better than him how difficult the so-called Jialan God who was wiped out from his body before is.
"All-out war!" Brahma and the others were not fools. When they found that Deva was indeed unable to take care of both tasks, they finally chose to issue the oracle again.
This time the confusion in Virgo disappeared and She became Rahul completely.
The moment Rahul returned, he immediately broke away from the will link and opened his clairvoyance.
He was not trying to use his clairvoyance to see through Guan Yu's arrangements. He simply wanted to increase his visual range and observe the current battlefield with his naked eyes.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.
The entire battle line between the Kushans and the Han Dynasty was displayed in front of Rahul. Looking at the position where Guan Yu cut into the battle line, Rahul's face turned pale. These were the weak points of his battle line!
Rahul's first reaction was that this was unreasonable, his second reaction was that there was a traitor and he was being betrayed, and then he thought about it and realized that this was even more unreasonable.
"I was careless. I shouldn't have used the will connection!"
Recalling his previous actions, Rahul immediately realized everything.
Rahul took all the problems on himself and did n't notice anything unusual about what had happened before.
Rahul took a deep breath and resumed commanding.
"Beat the drums, order the flanks and center to launch a full-front counterattack, completely abandon the second batch of defenses, reorganize the defenses, and command the regiment to start moving!"
"Explosive suppression with rain of arrows, catapults, crossbows ready, two-wing covering strike, tung oil cans ready to be launched!"
Rahul thought for a moment and then issued a new military order.
He was very clear about his responsibility, which was not to win, but to delay the game, so Rahul threw aside all the unreasonable things that happened before. In his completely alienated mind, all the problems that happened before were caused by his desire to win.
If you want to win, you will lose. This is an unchanging truth.
If you don’t want to lose, then you must first not want to win.
Rahul directly changed his war strategy from a confrontation between two armies to a battle with the goal of dragging the opponent to death.
After choosing this method, it means that Rahul has completely given up on victory. Rahul's command style will definitely lead to defeat, but instead, this method will lengthen the time interval of the war, thereby bringing as much damage as possible to the Han Dynasty.
If Guan Yu did not make any more commands and just continued to fight, he would have a 100% chance of winning, but the price might be huge losses to the Han army.
This order seemed a bit strange to Guan Yu. Theoretically, it did not conform to the command method that Guan Yu had previously recognized, nor did it conform to Rahul's usual style.
However, Guan Yu also reacted. The chaotic existence before disappeared. Although the person who appeared now was not Rahul himself, the other party was definitely a large army commander of the same level as himself.
Without the information leakage of the opponent's will link, Guan Yu didn't know how to continue for a while. However, Guan Yu was not a waste who only knew how to cheat. After losing the foresight of Rahul, Guan Yu quickly adjusted his command method.
He began to adjust the direction of the Han army's attack in a textbook way.
Both Han Xin and Bai Qi once told Guan Yu that when you don’t know what to do, just follow the instructions in the textbook. It may not turn defeat into victory, but at least it can allow you to end safely.
So when the changes began to happen, Guan Yu cautiously reduced his strategic intentions.
Just as the adjustment was completed, all the Kushan fronts from left to right suddenly launched a fierce attack. There was no shield defense, and the spearmen wearing leather armor launched a high-density thrust at the Han army with dense spear formations. In the sky, stones, crossbow spears, and burning earthenware jars all flew towards the Han army.
This tactic is the best way to unleash combat effectiveness when there are many people and not enough elite troops to lead, and Rahul uses it very smoothly.
The moment he saw the overwhelming offensive, Guan Yu understood what Rahul meant, but the current situation left Guan Yu with no better solution for the time being. He could only order the Han side to also launch an indiscriminate covering attack and use a strong attack to counter a strong attack.
