Chapter 1254 Game of the Second Battlefield
"Did you feel it? The general is calling us! Something happened over there!" Wang Min's face changed drastically. He stabbed the opponent in front of him to death with three shots and turned to look in the direction of the battlefield.
"Yulin Army, assemble! The general needs us!" Zhang Yu roared, and led the Yulin Army to abandon the remnants they were dealing with and rush directly to the second battlefield.
"Yide, you go there quickly too, leave this to Han Sheng and me!" Guan Yu was immediately worried when he saw the Yulin Army in a hurry.
You know, Liu Bei was still there, so Guan Yu immediately called Zhang Fei to leave and go to support him.
"I'll go right away!" Zhang Fei also thought of this, so he abandoned his opponent and headed straight towards the second battlefield.
"Yide, wait for me, I will go with you!" After Zhao Yun sensed the breath of Shiva, he immediately led the Red Blood Cavalry towards the second battlefield.
The departure of the three main combat legions slowed down the clearing speed of the remaining people significantly, but the overall situation had been decided after all, and everyone was just trying to eliminate the opponent while ensuring survival as much as possible.
The defense line was formed by the shield guards, which directly drove the remaining Kushan Divine Guards together, and then released the Divine Guards little by little to defeat them one by one.
Although the efficiency is somewhat low, this is the only method we can use at this time. After a fierce battle, everyone's physical strength has been almost exhausted.
This is also the reason why only Zhang Fei and his men left. Without this level of strength, they are almost exhausted now. Not every legion has the military soul effect.
For example, the school swordsmen who are still active now, if they hadn’t received the military spirit blessing from the Yulin Army, they would have almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Although they are soldiers with three talents, high-intensity combat is not comparable to ordinary training. It can be said that every sword swung by each soldier just now was several times more powerful than usual. The pressure brought by that extreme explosion has already pushed their bodies to the limit.
"I hope everything goes well!" Guan Yu looked at the second battlefield worriedly, then took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the enemy in front of him.
Although the remaining ones were some Kushan divine guards, the frequent rotation of command still made him a little tired.
On the second battlefield, the power of the Han Empire's will has been completely suppressed by the Three Gods. The burning talent can no longer cause trouble to the soldiers, but the corresponding Three Gods are also unable to provide blessings.
Although the two sides were pulled back to the same level, the brilliance of Temujin's talent at this moment had a visible impact on the Kushan side.
"Tell King Mulu to get ready and lead the elephant soldiers to attack!" Guo Ziyi raised his sword, swung it directly, and gave orders to the distance.
The effect of Temujin's blessing doubled the pressure on the Han Dynasty's front line, and they had to invest some new forces to reverse the decline.
Along with the transmission of sword light, King Mulu, who had been hiding in the army formation, drove his elephant army corps towards the direction of the Kushan army.
"Let me show you the power of elephants!" King Mulu roared with great enthusiasm. He was extremely satisfied with the elephant soldiers and this was exactly the effect he wanted.
As a rogue legion, the Peacock Legion was naturally imitated by the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
However, they failed and simply created a corps of elephant soldiers.
When the gods and Buddhas on the Kushan side saw the elephant army, they all frowned slightly. You know, elephants have a special status in mythology.
On the chaotic battlefield, King Mulu rushed forward and led the war elephant army directly to the front line. All the Kushan soldiers he met on the way were easily thrown away by the elephant's trunk.
"Watch me!" King Mulu roared, then picked up the ropes and stones stored on both sides of the elephant, and swung them out.
These huge stones were stored on both sides of the war elephant's saddle and tied with ropes, so they could be thrown away by just swinging the ropes.
Although the Han Dynasty's imitation of peacock training was not successful, it did develop a way of using war elephants that suited the Han Dynasty's style.
The purpose of making war elephants bigger is that they can carry much heavier loads than other animals, so they simply hung javelins and stones all over the elephants' bodies.
The talent of borrowing force was not difficult for the Han Dynasty. Although they could not train the Peacock Legion, they could train the talent of borrowing force and match it with war elephants.
Just like King Mulu, many soldiers on the backs of the war elephants gained strength from the elephants through their talent for borrowing power, and then roared and threw the stones on the elephants' backs away.
It was as if hundreds of catapults were firing at the same time. Stones fell like raindrops, smashing the Kushan soldiers into meat paste.
The infantry line that was originally densely formed to resist the burning will of the empire now became the best target.
Even an elite infantry corps could only flee in panic when faced with huge rocks falling like raindrops. That kind of enormous force was enough to break bones for those who were not veteran soldiers who were skilled in parrying.
If there were no clouds, this smash wouldn't even create a wave. Unfortunately, the clouds at this moment have already crushed all the extraordinary people.
This most primitive force instantly turned into a powerful weapon, easily opening several passages in the Kushan army's well-arrayed formation.
“It’s amazing no matter how you look at it.”
Guo Ziyi was very satisfied with the suppressive effect caused by the elephant soldiers driven by King Mulu.
"Let King Mulu continue to advance and trample all the enemies in front of him. Let Shesheng Battalion and Changshui Battalion prepare. If any special enemies or large numbers of miscellaneous soldiers appear, they must be attacked immediately to cover the War Elephant Corps' advance!"
Following Guo Ziyi's additional orders, the Kushans would certainly not allow the war elephants to wreak havoc and would inevitably take certain actions. However, no matter what countermeasures the other side took, he would remain unchanged in the face of all changes. As long as Shesheng and Changshui were present, he would never fail.
"Use fire, use fire to drive away the elephants!"
The Kushan officer Suriles was commanding in a panic because of the peacock. In fact, the Kushan officers were quite familiar with elephants. They knew that the most difficult problem for elephants to overcome was psychological, so they planned to use fire to drive away the elephants and let the Han army reap what they sowed.
However, facing the well-prepared King Mulu, he immediately set his sights on Suriles. Before Suriles could use fire to drive away the elephant, he directly called on his soldiers to throw spears and nailed Suriles to the ground.
"Shoot! Use flaming arrows!" Although Suriles' death exacerbated the chaos among the Kushan soldiers, Temujin soon noticed the chaos here and directly ordered the archers in the central camp to attack the elephant soldiers with flaming arrows.
Even if the elephant soldiers were trained to be fearless, they would still panic when attacked by fire.
The Kushan soldiers, who were originally in confusion, finally calmed down when they saw the rockets, and all kinds of infantry drills on how to deal with target soldiers came to their minds.
Elephant soldiers are afraid of fire. To be more precise, all wild animals are afraid of fire. Given the huge size of the elephant soldiers, as long as fear triggers an instinctive reaction, the driver on the elephant's back will not be able to control the elephant at all.
Even the elephant soldiers, who now seem to be the strongest enemy, will panic and trample on others, causing a huge impact on the Han Dynasty!
The Kushans are very familiar with these things. For the current Kushans, things like elephant soldiers are a type of soldier that they are very familiar with. They have plenty of ways to crack them!
However, when the rockets fell and even turned the area into a sea of fire, the elephant soldiers still marched fearlessly and charged into the Kushan army.
King Mulu certainly knew that elephants were afraid of fire, and he also knew that the Kushans must have a way to counter it, but he was still able to convince Guo Ziyi to use elephant soldiers on the battlefield, naturally because he had a corresponding solution.
That is to feed medicine. As long as you feed the elephants with mushrooms that can create illusions, the elephants will mistake the flames for water.
Elephants are afraid of fire, but not water. In addition, the elephant's body has long been covered with special potions that directly numb the elephant's senses.
So even in the sea of fire, the elephant remained fearless and brave. Under the control of the driver, it directly crushed the Kushan battle line in front of it.
However, elephants are not invincible. Seeing that fire was ineffective, the Kushans immediately used a second method of countermeasures.
The Kushans concentrated their crossbows and launched an attack on the elephant soldiers led by King Mulu.
Blood splattered everywhere at once. The giant crossbow arrows were so powerful that they could severely injure even creatures like elephants.
As a terrifying upright ape, humans have developed tools that are obviously not something that primitive animal bodies can resist.
As the leader, King Mulu was naturally the focus of the Kushans' attention.
“Ah~”
The elephant, with its internal energy strong, was pierced by dozens of crossbow arrows. Even if its senses were numb, it was roaring in intense pain at this moment.
"Changshui Camp, attack!"
The Changshui Battalion, which had received the order earlier, immediately launched an attack. Like the Peacock, the Beyond Visual Range Legion's attack on these crossbows was almost a dimensionality reduction attack. As long as their position was locked, the crossbows would basically be sacrificed.
However, although these crossbow machines were cleared, they still shot as many crossbow arrows as possible before they were destroyed.
These crossbow arrows inflicted heavy damage on the war elephants, and the physical pain caused the enraged elephants to begin indiscriminate attacks.
Although King Mulu had been pierced in the chest by a crossbow arrow, he smiled and took out a horn from his arms.
"Beep~"
A long horn sounded, and the elephants, which had already gone crazy, rushed towards the direction of Kushan as if they had received some kind of guidance.
They fell under the overwhelming rain of arrows and javelins, and the remaining elephant soldiers also left the battlefield with them. If they continued fighting, they would cause more trouble if they were not careful.
They have completed their mission, and what remains is no longer something they can handle.
"Cough cough cough, I didn't expect to die here!" King Mulu rolled off his mount in a panic. The Kushans sent several gods and Buddhas to deal with these mad elephants.
King Mulu, who had already suffered serious injuries, was naturally unable to resist at all. Seeing the other party slapping the elephant's head with one palm and directly overturning the elephant, King Mulu knew that he was going to die today.
"Meng Manzi, you must do what you promised us. Don't let me die in limbo!"
King Mulu lay down beside the corpse of his mount. He didn't even have the strength to stand. In the last moment of his life, all he thought of was Meng Huo's crying and laughing face.
That was Meng Huo's first New Year as the governor of Nanman Province. Although many barbarian warriors were killed, the number of children born among the barbarian tribes that year almost reached several times the previous number.
"Unfortunately, I can't witness the future you promised me with my own eyes!" King Mulu closed his eyes with regret.
Meng Huo once promised that he would lead all his brothers and sisters from the barbarian tribes to live a prosperous life, but unfortunately King Mulu’s journey ended here temporarily.
The war was still going on . King Mulu and his mad elephants bought enough time for the following Han soldiers. After the Kushans dealt with King Mulu in a hurry, before the chaos was quelled, they were caught off guard by the Han soldiers who came in formation.
"Now that your flank has been destroyed by me, what should you do?" Guo Ziyi's right hand had been placed on the hilt of the sword several times, but he was unable to give the order to attack.
He saw the changes on the Kushan side.
Ever since the Three-Faced God appeared in the sky and blocked the power projected from the will of the Han Empire, the momentum on the Kushan side has completely changed.
Guo Ziyi was very confused by those fearless Kushan soldiers. He did not doubt that there were soldiers in Kushan who were not afraid of death, but they were definitely not completely free of emotional fluctuations like they were now.
They are like a group of mechanical creatures. Once they receive an order, they will execute it faithfully. Even if they are missing limbs or even at the last moment of their lives, they will try every possible way to fight back.
The previous aura has completely disappeared, replaced by a completely new aura that has completely lost the feeling of being human.
Guo Ziyi looked ahead calmly, waiting for Temujin to respond. Although he relied on the elephant soldiers to break Temujin's flank, he did not think that Temujin would be helpless.
After all, war is not a simple comparison of numbers. Although quantity can indeed be converted into quality, in the current situation, the numbers of both sides are not enough to create an absolute advantage.
"Are you waiting for me to take action?" Temujin looked in the direction of Guo Ziyi. He knew what the other party meant, but the stage was no longer his.
He was never the leader of this war.
"What a pity! Han general Guo Ziyi? It's a pity that I can't fight with you!" Temujin closed his eyes. If it was any other god or Buddha, he might be able to compete with the opponent for the command, but unfortunately it was Mara who appeared.
Although they are called independent gods and Buddhas, they are actually incarnations of Vishnu, not ordinary incarnations. They are simply the extension of Vishnu.
There is nothing wrong with just calling him Vishnu.
