Chapter 1261: Fight for a Future
That’s easy. Speed up, speed up like crazy. One hundred is not enough, one hundred and fifty is not enough, one hundred and fifty is not enough, two hundred is not enough, two hundred is not enough, keep speeding up and see how terrifying the final level of speed is.
Under Gongsun Zan's leadership, the Baima Yicong shone with unparalleled brilliance, rising from an ordinary tactical level to a strategic level. They possessed the ability to strangle an army with a single legion, and had truly reached a level that required the entire empire to be on high alert.
Fargon's corpse was silently telling the living Kushan officers that they were a corps of the Royal Guards, but they were slaughtered by the enemy like grass in the army, without even the power to resist.
It was too fast, too fast. From the sharp attack to the charge of the white horses, the whole process did not even take long to react. Some soldiers had not even reacted to the news of encountering the Han army, and the battle was over.
The Baima Yicong can rely on their own mobility to launch attacks on the army's weaknesses, and strangle and annihilate an entire army in a very short time.
Barak only felt fear, and he subconsciously fully blossomed his talent, but the destruction of the Kushan Mountains, which was engraved with a large number of etchings, meant that his talent no longer had the effect of halving the defense of the shield guard.
However, this was the last resistance he could make against the White Horse Volunteers.
"Restrict the speed of the white horse?" Gongsun Zan felt the sudden restraint on his body and sneered. He didn't even know how fast the white horse was. Even if he cut off nearly 30% of its speed, it would be meaningless to the white horse.
However, Gongsun Zan did not continue to charge. He was able to charge before because the cloud of the army had not yet completely gathered. If he charged in now, he would be seeking death.
The most important thing about the Baima Yicong is mobility. As the founder of Baima, he naturally understands this point.
"Contract the front line and use chariots to reconstruct the outer front line." Barak let out a breath and gave the order slowly. Facing the White Horse Volunteers, he didn't have many options and could only use the oldest and most cumbersome way to deal with it.
At least from the situation just now, the White Horse was able to leap over the first line of defense, so they must build a second and even a third line of defense, and can no longer use the traditional method of defending outside and being fragile inside.
But the good news is that they have mastered some of the characteristics of the Baima Yicong, and by exerting their talents, they can also restrain the opponent's speed. At least the opponent can't continue to wreak havoc like before.
"Baras, keep an eye on them!" Barak could only pin his hopes on Baras, who had been blessed with three talents again. Baras's witness arrow was their only effective means of response.
The reason they were able to keep those hundreds of White Horse Volunteers was basically due to the trance effect caused by the will attack of the witness arrow.
However, Gongsun Zan did not continue to charge. He was not in a hurry at this time. The biggest significance of his coming here was to delay time.
Any army facing the White Horse Volunteers would never dare to disperse. This is also the most effective way to delay the retreat of the Kushan army.
They must seize this opportunity. The Kushan army has suffered heavy losses from natural disasters and is in a very low state. If they let the enemy withdraw, it will be a trouble.
"The other party is not coming close at all. He is just stalling for time!" Kapil said solemnly.
Barak also understood this, but he really didn't dare to order a retreat. Who knows how many soldiers would be killed by the enemy during the retreat.
The White Horse is too specialized in mobility and lethality.
"Retreat slowly and send experts to ask for help from the rear!" Barak said in a deep voice. They had to retreat. The other side was clearly trying to delay time. Without the constraints of the terrain, they would have to face pressure from the top legions of the Han Dynasty in several directions.
Without the help of the camp, they would never have been able to fight against this heavy pressure.
To be honest, the White Horse is only a legion of three talents. If they fight head-on, they will be killed at the cost of losses.
But the problem is that the Bai Ma refused to fight with them and only focused on killing the weak soldiers. This made things very uncomfortable. Without a large army, they had to risk their lives to fight against the elite troops of the Han Dynasty.
But the white horse is not only capable of charging. Although it does not carry many arrows, its swift arrows are still very deadly when used to kill weaklings.
When they found a place where the army was blocked from flowing, the white horses rushed forward with a hail of arrows.
As long as the speed is not pushed to the limit, Bai Ma can perform skillful operations.
Moreover, Gongsun Zan also discovered that the slower their speed, the less accurate the arrows of Balas would be. So Gongsun Zan maintained a moderate speed with his white horses and harassed the Kushan army endlessly.
But they eventually retreated in formation. The pressure brought by the white horses was too great, and they retreated too slowly. Finally, the fastest group of troops of the Han Dynasty arrived.
"Finally here, it was too slow!" Gongsun Zan said excitedly, staring at the position of the imperial scepter and thinking about how to rush in and kill the opponent.
"Flying Bear!" Hua Xiong roared and rushed forward. When the Xiliang cavalry descended from the sky and kicked Abhidharma's royal spear and shield soldiers, the war began.
If they hadn't needed to bring the Divine Iron Cavalry, they would have arrived long ago.
It was also the first time for Hua Xiong to use Feixiong as an auxiliary legion. After the gravity constraints of all the legions were reduced by half, they traveled at an astonishingly fast speed.
As for the military soul power that was dissipating like running water, it was completely replenished by the Empire. It was also the first time that Hua Xiong experienced what unlimited firepower meant.
"Baras, keep an eye on that white horse and don't worry about the frontal war!" Barak roared loudly , and then he no longer worried about restraining the white horse's speed, and instead deployed his talents, trying to weaken the defenses of the Flying Bear and the Divine Iron Cavalry to the greatest extent.
As long as the attack can break the defense, there is a chance of fighting.
Hua Xiong roared and rushed forward with a gun. At this time, the royal archer corps, which was blessed with three talents, shot countless arrows in the direction of Hua Xiong almost madly. However, before the rain of arrows fell, an ink-like gravity field crushed all the arrows.
"Hua Manzi, can't you slow down a little!" Li Que roared angrily.
Fei Xiong brought them to the battlefield, so he couldn't be more generous and just rush forward with them. The distance was not short, but he made them a beat slower than Hua Xiong.
But there is nothing they can do about their short legs. Their goal may be to kill the Imperial Scepter, so they have to save their strength.
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible!"
Li Que roared, and the tens of thousands of elite Xiliang cavalry behind him also roared loudly, and then followed the divine cavalry and rushed towards the Kushan front line.
As the cavalry with the strongest defense, charging into battle is their greatest mission.
"Tsk, this is so frustrating!" Lu Bu crossed his arms, staring at the charging Xiliang cavalry, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Marquis Wen, there is nothing we can do about it!" Zhang Liao said with a smile. The Wolf Cavalry is no match for the Iron Cavalry. Facing the first wave of charge from the Kushan army, even the Iron Cavalry would lose a lot of men. If their Wolf Cavalry took the lead, perhaps half of them would die.
After the Iron Cavalry charged into the formation and absorbed the damage and hatred, it was time for the Wolf Cavalry to enter the battlefield and reap the rewards. They were Wolf Cavalry, and like a pack of wolves, they would tear pieces of flesh and blood from the enemy's bodies.
This was the first time that the three major cavalry forces of the Han Dynasty carried out a joint operation. Although they had cooperated before, this was the first time for them to be deployed on such a large scale.
It can be said that the Wolf Cavalry and the Iron Cavalry emptied out all their assets to put together the current lineup, which is made up entirely of Imperial Guards, and none of them are fake.
This is also the reason why they rushed up in the first wave, because they are strong enough to fight against enemies that are several times their number.
As for those infantry corps, they will arrive here before the Kushan reinforcements arrive.
"Hey, kid from the Cao family, don't drag us down later!" Lu Bu called out to Cao Ang unhappily.
The other party was a bit conspicuous among them, but his presence was also within their calculations, so they could only endure it.
"Marquis Wen, you are joking. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not a legion that will rely on others for support!" The domineering aura emanating from Cao Ang made Lu Bu nod his head. Cao Cao really has a good son.
Xiahou Yuan remained silent. He stared at the Kushan army. Their goal this time was also the greatest significance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's presence here.
The Peacock Legion is the killing tactic specially prepared by the Han Dynasty to kill the Peacock.
On the other hand, the Kushans have already begun fighting with the Xiliang Cavalry.
The power of Barak's talent in mobilizing the army was indeed unquestionable. The opponent did not target Feixiong and the Divine Iron Cavalry, but instead aimed at the remaining Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The power of talent reduced the defense of these cavalry by more than 30%, and also gave the Kushan soldiers the possibility of breaking their armor.
The war was intense from the beginning. Both sides understood that they had no way out and the only option was to kill the enemy.
"Kill!" Kapil gave the order loudly. Since the war could no longer develop in the direction he had guessed, he had to give it a try. The Imperial Scepter was fully fired, and he was no longer calculating as usual.
With the huge amount of military soul output, Kapil no longer cares about the problem of military soul reserves at this time. However, military souls are mostly not a problem for auxiliary military souls because the loss is not great.
Especially for military soul corps like the Imperial Scepter and the Parliamentary Guard, which have always stayed in the rear and have mature reserve, their military souls are always growing.
Perhaps their growth rate is far less than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Xianzhen, who consume their military souls all day long, but the military souls they have accumulated over the past few decades are enough for them to squander for a long time, and this time can be said to be the first time that the Imperial Scepter has burned military souls on a large scale.
Hua Xiong took a step forward and stabbed the Northern Gui spear and shield soldiers with his spear. Using the horse's power, the spear was thrust out. Even though the three talented spear and shield soldiers in front of him had raised their shields to block, Hua Xiong's spear still broke through their defenses and stabbed them in the chest.
Gravity control blossomed along the tip of the gun, and the royal spear and shield soldier's chest suddenly collapsed, and his internal organs were completely crushed by the heavy pressure.
Not to mention that the quality of the royal spear and shield soldiers has not yet truly reached the third level of talent. Even if they have truly reached it, facing such a blow would be fatal.
The soldier who was stabbed to death immediately launched a counterattack. Three spears stabbed directly at Hua Xiong. However, when their spears were about to hit Hua Xiong, the heavy force changed the direction of their attack, and the spear tips actually pierced directly into the ground.
"Gravity is such a good thing!" Hua Xiong laughed and swept his spear across, knocking the three people away in an instant.
Ever since he started following the Mohist school, Fei Xiong has become more and more adept at using gravity, and the gravity shield is the result of Fei Xiong's maximized output.
Basically, all physical attacks are unable to break through such a shield, and only attacks that contain will can break through this layer of defense. However, as a member of the Military Soul Legion, Fei Xiong is not afraid of attacks of will.
"Technology is the primary productive force for change!" Hua Xiong thought of the catchphrase he had heard from Mo Jia Ju Zi, grinned, and charged towards the soldiers in front of him.
He doesn't understand technology, but if technology can make Feixiong stronger, then he will learn it, and now is the time to show the results of their learning.
The intersection of blades and shields produced countless sparks, and the defense line of the royal spear and shield soldiers was directly penetrated by Fei Xiong.
Without any hesitation, Kapil immediately withdrew this part of the blessing and instead blessed the royal spear and shield soldier opposite Li Que.
As for Hua Xiong, there will be people to surround them. The Kushans do not have many of the three talents, but they do have them completely.
If a military soul corps could defeat them, the Han Dynasty would not have to worry about the Kushans for so long.
"This road is blocked." Hundreds of royal armored cavalry with true three talents, led by Unanda, blocked Hua Xiong's way. To a certain extent, these were the real royal armored cavalry.
And the people led by Unanda were just the reserve forces of these people, but that is history now. Even Gavin is dead, and the future of the Royal Armored Cavalry is over.
"If there is no way, then fight your way out!" Hua Xiong ignored him and rushed forward. There is no blocked road in this world. There is only one reason for a blocked road, and that is that you are not strong enough.
"Puchi!" A knife slashed across the chest of the royal armored cavalry, and blood splattered. Even a true royal armored cavalry with the enhancement of military soul and three basic talents was completely no match for Hua Xiong who had gone completely crazy and wanted to kill.
Anyone who stands in my way will be killed!
Unanda roared and rushed forward with the gun. Hua Xiong did not dodge or evade. At the same time when Unanda pierced his chest, he drew his knife and beheaded him.
Before Unanda could draw the scimitar from his waist, he saw a headless corpse appear in front of Hua Xiong, and then the world was spinning.
"You think you can stop me?" Hua Xiong cut off the gun barrel, forced the gun tip out of his body, knocked off a Hua Tuo brand magic medicine, and then continued to kill forward like a madman.
A light as bright as the abyss began to flicker from Hua Xiong's body. After a long struggle, Hua Xiong finally began to charge towards the Miracle Legion.
