Chapter 1263: The Rising Wolf Riders
Without a moment's hesitation, Kapil chose to retreat in the direction closest to his camp.
Barak, the Maurya Legion, Arvind's Guards and other legions retreated in an orderly manner, cutting off their rear in order to survive, and abandoning nearly one-third of the Kushan army.
If it weren't for Barak's good command level, it would not be as simple as just being bitten by one-third.
"Want to run!" Zhang Liao sneered repeatedly. He ran away in front of them without even asking for his consent.
"Gongzheng, use your ultimate move, rush up and bite them!" Zhang Liao roared and commanded.
Gao Shun was stunned for a moment. They had been hiding themselves before just waiting for the opponent's weak points to be exposed, preparing to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Supporting Lu Bu didn't actually consume too much of their energy; they were more waiting for the opponent to expose its flaws.
However, since it was Zhang Liao's judgment, Gao Shun decisively chose to believe it.
With this idea in mind, Gao Shun directly mobilized all his forces and exerted the strength of a nearly complete military soul based on the will of the empire.
Faced with the sudden outbreak of the trap, the Kushan army exploded directly at the location of the trap.
That's right, it exploded, which was completely different from the previous situation where they had to fight their way through the Kushans and move forward with difficulty.
After being burdened with the imperial will, Gao Shun clearly felt the rapid sublimation of his own will, so when Zhang Liao gave the order to explode, Gao Shun decisively spread out the entire Xianzhen Camp horizontally in a way that was not in line with normal military operations.
At that moment, the entire army reached a higher level by relying on the imperial will and military spirit. With control capabilities far exceeding those of a normal legion, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp directly exerted their power at the moment when the power was added.
This is the benefit of the decathlon. The Xianzhen Camp can perfectly control every bit of its own strength. Even if there is a sudden surge in strength, they can make it play 100% of its effect.
It is enough to consume all the power of the military soul and exert the greatest strength in a moment, and the soldiers who successfully grasp that moment will increase their strength to the current extreme.
Eight hundred internal energies left the body, and more than three thousand Qi-refining masters suddenly appeared!
The breakthrough at this moment was not a miracle, but better than a miracle. They exerted a destructive power far more explosive than the Legion of Miracles.
The royal spearmen and shield soldiers and the royal armored cavalry who were fighting head-on with the trap soldiers at that moment, even if they had reached the level of three talents with the blessing of the imperial scepter, were like grass in the face of the trap soldiers at this moment.
Faced with the sudden outbreak of the vanguard, nearly a thousand people were caught off guard and fell.
Even the losses of the three gifted legions were so heavy, not to mention those ordinary Kushan soldiers, whose casualties reached thousands.
Naturally, with just this one strike, a large section of the Kushan Legion's front line that was blocking the enemy's formation was destroyed. There were no particularly fancy moves, nor any particularly gorgeous lights and shadows. It was just a simple and irresistible blow.
Even if they couldn't understand what Xianzhen did, everyone knew what level of elite troops they were that could easily kill a large number of legions with two or three talents.
There is no doubt that this is another miracle legion-level combat power.
The entire Kushan's broken defense line was directly blown into two sections by the trap array. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry directly crossed the area blown up by the trap array and rushed towards the retreating Kushan army.
To think that they could escape on this almost plain terrain would be an underestimation of these battle-hardened cavalrymen.
Not every cavalry corps is composed of short-legged cavalry like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Hahaha, follow me and kill!"
Before the Kushan soldiers who were left behind could come to their senses, Gongsun Zan rushed past on his white horse. The battle line, which had been completely broken by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, was the best slaughtering ground for the white horses.
The whistling white horses were like a strong wind, easily wiping out the scattered soldiers on the Kushan defense line.
Thanks to Bai Ma's efforts, the Iron Cavalry's battle line was blown into several pieces. Although there was no violent output like the Breakthrough Formation that could instantly destroy a section of the battle line, the Iron Cavalry fighting with all their might were not easy to deal with.
With the help of Bai Ma, the Divine Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear all broke out of the encirclement and chased after the fleeing opponents.
"Bah, these bastards!" Zhang Ji's face turned pale. He ran a little slower and was left behind to command the cavalry.
But now Hua Xiong, Li Que and others have run away. If he runs away too, the Iron Cavalry will be leaderless and may not cause any big trouble, but it will definitely not be so smooth.
Zhang Ji could only accept the reality with curses, accepted the command of the Iron Cavalry, and led the Iron Cavalry to strangle the Kushan soldiers who were left behind.
The Kushans were beyond salvation, and so were these soldiers. After Barak retreated, these soldiers had already been activated into Divine Guard mode.
Otherwise, even though the Kushan soldiers were forced to retreat and their battle lines were destroyed, they were able to maintain such high morale. Then they would not have retreated to the mountain pass and would have been forced out of the country long ago.
"Damn it!" Barak shouted angrily, feeling like he wanted to kill the enemy but was powerless to do anything.
But this anger only remained in Barak's heart for a moment, and Barak once again regained the composure that only a general could have, and worked hard to command the soldiers to retreat, and at the same time organized people to cover the rear and intercept.
Barak, who was chosen to be stationed there, possessed special qualities that many Kushans did not possess, that is, he would never despair no matter what, and would never be blinded by anger no matter what.
He will never fall into despair at any time. Even if his opponent is ten times stronger than himself, he will definitely squeeze himself desperately in every second before death in order to find a way to survive. He is one of the rare generals who becomes calmer the more dangerous the situation is.
However, no matter how calm he was, Barak was powerless to save the situation. The battle line had been completely destroyed. It was already the limit of his ability to preserve so much strength for retreat. He could only watch the wolf riders like a real wolf pack.
Bit by bit, Barak tore off flesh and blood from the Kushan army, but he didn't dare to stop at all, as stopping would mean death.
However, even if they did not stop, they were gradually falling into despair.
Beyond the Khyber Pass is a vast expanse of flat land, the plain of the South Asian subcontinent, and the core area of Kushan.
Without the natural barrier, the Han cavalry would completely crush this area, and the Kushans would be doomed from a strategic perspective.
Even if he didn't die now, he would die in the future. However, what Barak didn't expect was that Kushan had already died in the past.
However, in the moment when Barak was in a trance, he completely failed to notice the discord in the distance.
The moment Barak stepped into the shooting range, arrows rained down like raindrops.
A golden sun rose from the open space, illuminating everything on the earth, and also illuminating a team of tens of thousands of people.
"Barak, you have no way to escape!" Zhuge Liang's voice sounded as the clouds rose.
Although Vasudeva I would not turn Peshawar into a war fortress, the Trimurti would determine the destruction of Barak.
The reinforcements they were expecting had all been withdrawn to the vicinity of Peshawar, and were being regrouped and redistributed near Peshawar.
The Trimurti built Peshawar into a huge war fortress, and Barak and his men were just discarded pawns used to delay time.
This is also the reason why the Three Gods did not completely alienate the thinking of Barak and others. They still needed people like Barak to fight against the Han army.
The failure of Mara and Varuna made the three gods reflect. They did not think that it was because of the incompetence of the two gods. They naturally blamed the problem on the incomplete integration.
Therefore, they did not alienate Barak and his men, but influenced Barak and his men to a certain extent, forcing them to hold on and buy time for the Peshawar people to merge with the gods.
The Three Gods had not anticipated that the mountain pass in Beigui would be breached. They still thought that the Han army in Nangui was their real opponent.
When they were concentrating on preparing their troops and horses to welcome Liu Bei and others who had come from afar, the impregnable mountain pass of Beigui was unexpectedly breached.
To shrink the defense line was the common decision made by Tianshun and others, which resulted in Zhuge Liang and others who took the Shenzhou ship to take a detour into the heart of Kushan having no possibility of achieving success.
In the end, he had no choice but to join the army. However, the army led by Zhuge Liang at this moment became the last straw that broke the camel's back. How was this possible?
Without waiting for Barak to issue an order, eight huge legion attack light blades burst out from all directions. This was the formation prepared by Zhuge Liang. It had accumulated a large amount of cloud gas and internal energy. Even if it released a legion attack, it would not affect its own combat effectiveness.
The moment Zhuge Liang removed Xun You's elite talent, he directly activated the prepared legion talent.
Lu Bu's all-round attribute bonus, plus Zhang Fei's intimidation, and Zhao Yun's legion talent to remove the negative effects on his own side, plus Wei Yan's mad bone, and finally Sun Ce's monarch talent that strengthens the effects of all his own talents, and also the talents of Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
In an instant, seven points of light exploded around Zhuge Liang's body, and a bright beam of light shot straight into the sky.
Empire War Stance——God Zhuge, online.
As Zhuge Liang opened fire at full power, the bad Eight Diagrams also began to take effect in an instant, and the elite army led by the Lieyang Cavalry directly launched a charge.
They are also the military soul corps, so they can naturally carry the imperial will radiated by Guo Hao. Zhuge Liang can fully unleash his firepower because the imperial will is charging Zhuge Liang with energy.
Otherwise, even if Zhuge Liang could activate various legion talents and spiritual talents at the same time, he would not be able to withstand the horrific consumption brought about by the simultaneous use of these talents, which would be a consumption that could directly drain a person.
Barak only felt his hands and feet were cold. Although he didn't know how the other party did it, there were actually tens of thousands of people lying in ambush here!
"Charge out!" Barak was also calm. Although his hands and feet were cold, he could tell at a glance that there were some problems with the dispatch of the army arranged by Zhuge Liang in the northeast. He immediately shouted and rushed towards the northeast.
However, why would Zhuge Liang leave such an obvious gap? It was naturally a psychological offensive of surrounding Barak on three sides and leaving one side missing. Only by giving Barak hope could he stop his desperate resistance.
"Don't hold back, attack with all your might and leave no one alive!" Zhuge Liang shouted, and the light of his genius instantly shone on the wolf riders behind the Kushan army.
"General Zhang, this is the effect of the Eight Diagrams. It allows you to glimpse the power of the future. The rest is up to you!"
Zhuge Liang's army is a surprise force in itself. Except for the Lieyang Cavalry, the rest are just normal. After all, a frontal attack requires a lot of elite troops, and there are very few soldiers that can be assigned to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang also wanted to bless the Xianzhen, Divine Iron Cavalry, and Flying Bear, but when he saw the flashing light on these three legions, he knew that his arrangement was meaningless to these legions. Even if he gave them blessings, it would only allow these legions to be replenished.
They have already walked their own path, and even if Zhuge Liang illuminates the way forward for them, they will not be able to cross over.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang could only settle for the second best and hand over the power to take care of the future to Zhang Liao.
"Is this the future power of Wolf Rider?"
Zhang Liao's eyes widened. He saw the future of the Wolf Cavalry. One path extended to the Xianzhen Formation, and the other extended to the Yulin Army. However, there was no other way to go besides these two paths.
"How is this possible!" Zhang Liao was desperate. The Wolf Cavalry had no third way. His efforts for so long were meaningless.
Despair was eating away at Zhang Liao's heart; he could not accept the fact that his way forward was blocked.
"Zhang Wenyuan!" Guo Hao's voice exploded in Zhang Liao's mind.
Zhang Liao suddenly came to his senses, then suddenly lowered his head, looking at the land beneath his feet with a big laugh.
Yes, there are only two paths in front of the Wolf Rider, two paths that others have taken. The lack of a third path does not mean that the third path cannot be taken.
The road is right under his feet!
Zhang Liao took the first step with a big stride, then raised the weapon in his hand high and charged forward with a roar.
"Bingzhou Wolf Riders! Kill!"
Zhang Liao roared, raised the flag with one hand, and launched a charge towards Barak.
With a roar from Zhang Liao , he rode his horse forward, fearlessly withstanding the enemy's arrows and killed the Kushan soldiers in front of him. Seeing this, the Bingzhou Wolf Riders who had been fighting hard before all roared and launched a charge.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao wielded the spear with one hand without any fear. Blood splattered, but his eyes were fearless. He madly killed the enemies in front of him. The blood almost soaked his clothes, but his momentum did not decrease at all.
The Bingzhou Wolf Riders behind him were truly elite soldiers who had survived hundreds of battles. Most of them were even super veterans who had fought in the battlefields of the Northern Frontier. What they lacked was not their quality.
The Wolf Riders have all-round qualities as their foundation and are at the pinnacle of the Royal Guards. Their qualities are more terrifying than 90 percent of the Military Soul Corps. What they lack is the spirit to fight to the death.
In the past, they mostly relied on their omnipotence to remain invincible, and they almost defeated opponents who were lower than them.
However, they forgot that only a wounded beast is more terrifying.
They are wolf riders, wolf riders chasing after killing and death.
Blood spurted out, but it did not change their momentum. The commander was brave enough to lead the troops and break through the enemy formation. All the elite wolf riders roared and burst out with their ultimate combat power, just like the majestic figure holding the flag in front of them, they launched a fierce attack towards the opposite side frantically!
Zhang Liao remembered that this was how the Xianzhen was born. They followed Lu Bu's footsteps and fought bravely against the Hu army.
