Chapter 1248: The Conspiracy Revealed
"Be alert! They are not an ordinary legion!" Sima Ju shouted loudly when he saw the Xihou Iron Soldiers rushing towards them.
To be honest, Zang Ba had only seen one type of army in Kushan that dared to engage in close combat with the shield guards, and that was the elephant soldiers.
Apart from that, it is more or less not easy for legions below the monster level of the three gifted military souls to beat the shield guards. After all, the armor is there, and it is almost impossible to be beaten.
Sima Ju was also an old man from the Yellow Turban period and had his own set of standards for battlefield intuition. When he saw this strange situation, his first reaction was to prepare for defense.
There was almost no need for any extra orders, as all the soldiers under his command naturally lowered their bodies. As experienced warriors, they could already feel the pressure coming from the opposite side at this distance. These were not ordinary trash, but top elites.
"boom!"
Arvind's personal guards, holding bone balls, threw them at the shield guards. The Simas who were hit instantly felt the pain as if their internal organs were being torn apart, and many of them vomited blood on the spot.
"It's the top infantry corps! Go inform General Guan!" Sima Ju used his internal energy to suppress the shock to his internal organs, and then roared at the messenger.
"Be careful, it's a force penetration attack, they can restrain our defense effect!"
Several centurions under Sima Ju's command were veterans who were almost all older than Sima Ju. At the moment of the fight, they immediately judged the combat mode of Arvind's guards and the opponent's restraint on them.
All the shield guards who had not yet fought each other narrowed their eyes. When training the shield guards in the beginning, Huangfu Song compiled a manual of several types of legions that the shield guards were afraid of and distributed it to everyone.
Today, these shield guards have a clear understanding of the legion that restrains them.
Apart from the unreasonable will-type legions and those super legions, the only ones who can restrain them from a physical level are the legions that can control gravity and the soldiers who follow the power system.
At the moment of the fight, these soldiers tilted their shields reflexively. Unlike the dull sound of normal heavy weapons, the bone fragments of Arvind's personal guards hit the shields of the shield guards, producing a humming sound of high-frequency steel vibrations.
Almost all the shield guards who were hit vomited blood. If they had not been prepared in advance and used their skills to deal with the concussion attack to the greatest extent, this one blow alone would have been enough to send them to hell.
However, even though they were prepared, they still suffered a loss and hundreds of shield guards were carried away on the spot. Of course, these people were not dead, but had internal injuries.
Fortunately, they were prepared, otherwise they would not have suffered internal injuries but would have all died on the spot.
The power vibrates and resonates. Facing this kind of attack mode, there is basically no defense. The more armored the legion is, the more miserable its death will be when facing Arvind's personal guards.
"Give up the shield defense and fight them!" Sima Ju had no choice but to order a strong attack on the opponent. Defense had lost its meaning, but fortunately, in addition to defense, the shield guard also had a heavy enough steel whip.
However, without the blessing of talent, relying solely on basic physical fitness is already the worst of the worst options.
"clang!"
The old soldier who threw away his shield directly used a steel whip to push away the opponent's bone flower, and then used all his strength to smash it on the opponent, almost knocking down Arvind's personal guard who was using the bone flower.
"You haven't practiced your attack well enough. Didn't you eat today?" Arvind's personal guard raised the bone flower again with a sneer on his face.
The old soldier holding the steel whip looked very unhappy. The worst situation had occurred. Power convergence and power shock were not the opponent's talent effects, or they were not the opponent's main talent effects. They were the opponent's talent smelting techniques.
The opponent definitely has at least one talent that is used for defense. Otherwise, even if he smashed it with his blank slate physical fitness, it would be impossible for him to just shake his body. You have to know that his strength is not comparable .
"Damn, this is not the Royal Guards, this is a miracle!" The old soldier's face was no longer ugly, but ashen. God knows how he, a centurion mixed in the double-talented shield guard corps, encountered a miracle soldier.
Although he was a soldier who had left the Legion of Miracles, he had once been in the Legion of Miracles.
"Damn, come on, it's a miracle!" The old soldier took a deep breath, roared, and rushed forward. He could not defend against the opponent's attack, and blocking would only lead to death. He would have a chance of survival only if he killed the opponent before he could exert his strength.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The old soldier was so powerful that almost every whip hit the opponent's body, affecting his body balance and making it impossible for him to exert any strength to kill him directly.
Arvind's personal guards on the opposite side found that the long-handled bone stick could not be used at all in such close combat. Instead, the opponent relied on brute force and the protection of the gauntlet to forcibly hold the bone stick handle, and then hit him hard on the vital parts. If it weren't for his strong enough defense, he would have been killed by now.
"Leave him to me, you go somewhere else!"
Dudian appeared in front of the veteran with a sneer. From his appearance, he knew that he should be a retired soldier from a top legion, serving as a centurion officer in an ordinary legion.
So Dudian naturally appeared in front of the veteran.
The shield guards in other places have basically been slaughtered, but you are the only one who can stand and fight back. If not you, who else should I look for?
Ordinary shield guard counterattacks have no effect on these top-level guards who have been cleansed by the military soul. Even tons of power under the cloud cannot hurt them at all.
The battle situation was almost one-sided.
"Puff!" When the old shield guard tried to use the steel whip to block Dudian's attack, his face suddenly changed, and when he wanted to withdraw, it was too late.
The next moment, an invisible force passed through the intersection of the bone and the steel whip and rushed directly to the old soldier's head. In just a moment, his head was shattered by the force.
Even in the Legion of Miracles, Dudian is still able to serve as a centurion. There are very few ordinary soldiers in the world who can defeat him.
Even some ordinary officers may not be Dudian's opponents, but fortunately Sima Ju is not an ordinary officer. He is an old Yellow Turban. He used to be the leader of the Yellow Turbans and also served in the Golden Armor Warriors Corps.
When he found out that Dudian was totally not the opponent that should be here, he immediately went to meet him.
"Are you the commander of this legion? You're quite capable!" Dudian narrowed his eyes and looked at Sima Ju who had blocked his bone flower and was completely fine.
"Puff!" Sima Ju just wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but unexpectedly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"So you're just holding on? I thought you were a tough and difficult enemy!" Dudian felt a little bored.
Fortunately, when internal energy leaves the body, it can no longer be considered human, so even though Sima Ju's internal organs were constantly shaking, he still relied on his recovery ability and internal energy to hold on.
After five minutes of fighting, the two sides turned it into a large-scale brawl. However, Sima Ju's counterattacks became weaker and weaker, which made Dudian excited. Killing a person with internal energy leaving his body in a single fight was considered a great achievement.
"I didn't expect there was such an elite force."
After receiving the news, Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked in Rahul's direction. He couldn't help but admire Rahul.
They actually used such means to force him to make a choice.
If he lets it go, Arvind's bodyguards will directly break through the shield guards' defense line. At that time, it will not be Guan Yu holding the knife against Rahul's throat, but Rahul holding the knife against Guan Yu's neck.
It is indeed a difficult question to decide, but Guan Yu stroked his beard and thought, since solving the problem is difficult, then solve the person who caused the problem.
Since you want to invite me to the banquet alone, how can I, Guan Yu, refuse?
"Beat the drums, march, follow me to crush Rahul's center camp!"
Guan Yu looked at Rahul's defense line, then calmly gave the order, it was time for him to take action!
It was clearly a life-threatening mission, but in Guan Yu's mouth it was as calm as taking something out of a bag.
After Rahul's camp was mobilized, there were still about 50,000 people surrounding Rahul. Since Rahul himself was not normal, he definitely had a top legion around him. If not three talents, then at least a pseudo three talents. Even if the rest were just to make up the numbers, there would definitely be one or two guards.
Therefore, what Guan Yu needed to do was to use the less than 5,000 sword soldiers to defeat the 50,000 people whose strength was definitely not less than his, and then take off Rahul's head.
Rahul deployed a lot of men in various places on the battlefield, most of whom were used to cooperate with Niranjan to deal with the brutal offensive of Kusroyi and Zhang Fei.
Although Zhang Fei's fear aura has lost its effect, Zhang Fei is still a three-talent legion after all. It is impossible to stop Zhang Fei without sacrificing lives one after another.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu was unable to crush the Kushan camp even though he was attacking at the weak point. Rahul's method was simple, but his suppression ability was very strong.
Moreover, Rahul not only deployed a large number of people, but also enough elite troops. Oswald guarded Zhao Yun, Sakara guarded Zhang Ren, and the two peacocks and Shesheng Changshui restrained each other.
As for Wei Yan, he was not qualified to be targeted. Just two Kushan Divine Guards were sent to attack him from both sides and Wei Yan was directly locked up.
Even if Wei Yan could change the talents of his soldiers to counter the Divine Guards, it would still take an hour to kill Wei Yan.
He had even been hit hard by Rahul unexpectedly before, and after switching to full attack talent and combining it with the Crazy Bone talent he had deliberately retained, he planned to learn from Zhao Yun to carry out a wave of killing and absorbing.
As a result, Rahul predicted Wei Yan's operation, and when Wei Yan changed his talent, he ordered the archers to fire two rounds of arrows, killing hundreds of people. If Wei Yan had not reacted quickly enough, it would not take long for most of the legion to be lost.
Then Wei Yan learned his lesson. Before determining the situation on the battlefield, he focused on saving his life first. He honestly used his attack and defense talents to fight against the Kushan Divine Guards, devouring the opponent bit by bit in a cannibalistic manner.
The battlefield had become so chaotic that it was completely out of control, and the commanders of both sides had completely given up on further micro-manipulation of the battle line.
After these things of command and dispatch are put into practice, it will ultimately depend on the fighting between soldiers. Dispatch can only allow the right types of troops to appear in the right places, and try to ensure that the strong defeats the weak, and the majority defeats the minority.
Of course, what’s more important is that the commanders of both sides have shifted their focus from command to the upcoming decisive battle between kings.
Rahul used his clairvoyance to observe the overall situation. The Han army had accumulated considerable advantages on the left and right wings. Although it was only a slight erosion, victory was basically secured.
Under this kind of overall disadvantage, even if Peacock was not restrained, it would be impossible to suppress it again by explosive shooting.
This was a complete collapse in the true sense, but this was already within Rahul's expectations. The moment he made the choice, it was destined that the Kushans would fail and the Han would win.
However, how the Han Dynasty will win next depends on what abilities Guan Yu and he can display in the upcoming military confrontation.
If the situation was the best one, and victory was achieved at the cost of 70% casualties, I'm afraid Guan Yu would not consider it a victory.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The dull drumbeats spread in all directions, and the officers under Rahul's command instantly understood Rahul's intention.
All the Kushan officers and soldiers, as well as those mindless Kushan divine guards, began to burst out madly, using short bursts to suppress the Han attack.
This is a very stupid thing to do, because everyone's fighting front is level, which means everyone's level is similar. Even if you explode, it can only be temporary. I will avoid you and delay your explosion period, and then it will be time for you to die.
However, stupid operations do not mean always being stupid. In certain circumstances, he appears to be quite smart.
Rahul gave such an order the moment he saw Guan Yu moving forward.
"Guan Yu, building up momentum is a good plan, but building up momentum means advancing without retreat!"
Guan Yu understood what Rahul meant, but he had already taken the first step and there was no possibility of stopping.
With this retreat, all the previous accumulation was wiped out, and there was no possibility of killing Rahul at all.
Guan Yu's mind turned for a thousand times, and finally the green dragon in his eyes suddenly roared, and without any pause or hesitation, he pointed the Green Dragon Crescent Blade at Rahul.
"kill!"
It was just a simple word "kill", but at this moment it was as powerful as thunder exploding in the sky.
Guan Yu, along with the swordsmen and some shield guards, launched an attack towards Rahul without retreat.
"Sure enough, the final decision lies with you and me?" Rahul had an indescribable expression on his face.
He is bound to lose, but Guan Yu will not win either.
Because Rahul never planned to win from the beginning.
