Chapter 6744 Defeat

Chapter 6744 Defeat
"Charge in, Ardashir can't be that much faster than us!" Le Jin, who was also attacked on the other side, made a judgment almost instantly.

The Han army started earlier than Ardashir. Even though they could not force a march due to morale problems on the road, which resulted in a slow speed, Ardashir had to face Yan Xing first before he could turn back. In addition, they did not take a shortcut, so it was absolutely impossible for them to be faster than the Han army.

Unless Ardashir feinted, but Ardashir feinted and did not attack Yan Xing, then Yan Xing would come over soon, and when Yan Xing came, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Ba would also come over. What else can we say at this time? Of course, the bravest will win when they meet on a narrow road!
Either you bet that Ardashir is not here, or you bet that Ardashir is just bluffing. But no matter which of these two answers you choose, there is no problem in choosing to charge in the current situation.

"Kill the main force that Ardashir has deployed here, kill them!" Pound activated his legion talent directly, "Brothers, follow me and kill these bastards!"

"Follow me!" Zhang Xiu, who could hardly see anything under the rain, heard the shouts and screams. Without thinking, he led more than 200 guards shared by Hua Xiong and the Three Idiots and rushed directly to the place where the shouts and screams were loudest. In this kind of encounter battle where the opponent is invisible and the only thing to do is to test the strength. Even the Holy Death Knight has nothing to be afraid of!

The orders issued in succession by several legion commanders, as well as their style of leading by example, directly brought out several leaders. The quality of the Han army soldiers themselves is the strongest among the several empires, and Cao Cao's men are basically all old foxes. You can say that this group of people are slippery and don't fight well, but you can't say that this group of people are weak. When someone is leading them, this group of people is actually quite strong!
"Follow me!" The soldiers under Xiahou Dun have special locking abilities. During the previous march, Xiahou Dun realized that the rain curtain would have too much impact on the battle line, so he asked his personal guards to use their special talents to lock the edges and corners of the battle line early in the morning.

After suffering the attack, the locked sideline roughly counted the losses and reported to Xiahou Dun, who then led his men directly to the location where the losses were greatest. Although he didn't know what kind of opponent it was, nor did he know the true situation at the sideline, he would know once he rushed over. At most, the opponent was Ardashir, but the elite troops under his command were no pushovers either.

"Hold on!" Although Cao Ren couldn't see the situation on the front line clearly, the flying spears even flew through the rain to his front army position. Cao Ren, who couldn't see the situation clearly, used special drum beats to command the shield guards on the front line to adjust the battle line, give up attacking, and line up on the spot to fight the enemy!

Unlike several other radicals, Cao Ren was beaten many times by Ardashir. Faced with this chaotic situation, he chose to seek progress while maintaining stability at the first moment. Under the special drumbeat, even though the newly added shield guards on the front line were still a little panicked, under the leadership of the shield guard brother, they quickly arranged themselves into a dense formation, and then stimulated Cao Ren's legion talent to form a barrier almost like a city wall - although I don't know what the opponent's situation is, I will build the city wall first, and then talk about other things.

The physical defense of the shield guards themselves is outrageous. After the shield guards are densely packed to form a city wall, Cao Ren's city wall defense can bring about a special effect of almost universal defense, which makes the defense of the first-line shield guards directly maximized, so that the short spears thrown by Gorgan's soldiers with the help of the instant burst of power were directly bounced away when they hit the shield guards.

"What's ahead is not the Holy Death Knights, but some unknown opponent!" The special investigation personnel under Cao Ren's command stimulated their elite talents in the chaos of the battle and made a quick judgment.

This talent that can see in fog, rain, and darkness is actually a variant of the precision commonly used by archers. Of course, the locking used by Xiahou Dun is actually a variant of the archer's locking talent. Many talents become completely different from their original appearance after being used for a long time.

After all, with the same talent, different people can always develop different things. Especially with the existence of smelting, theoretically the same talent can often become very different. After all, the process of smelting talent is actually a simulation of the manifestation of individual will on collective will.

Since it is a simulation, there will inevitably be distortion, but some people have less distortion, while some people have more outrageous distortion. Some of these outrageous distortions are like trying to draw a tiger but end up with a dog, while others are just copying a cat.

"The quality of the Han army is really exaggerated. They were clearly blinded by the sudden attack, but they were able to stabilize their formation quickly. Don't they know what fear is?" Bakza's face became extremely ugly. Although the previous sudden attack killed dozens and injured hundreds of Han soldiers, the Han army did not show any sign of panic and collapse.

"They've probably been prepared for this, but it doesn't matter. Let's buy time. General Ardashir will be here soon. By then, the main force of our army will meet up with us. I'll be in the front and the general will be in the rear. We'll attack from both sides and will surely win a great victory!" Gorgan's voice reached Bakza's ears. He had never thought that he could win a great victory in this sneak attack. It was meant to catch the enemy by surprise and buy more time.

"Die!" Xiahou Dun killed a fully armored infantryman under Bakza who came to break through the front line with one sword, and then led the soldiers on the border to rush forward quickly, driving the infantry under Bakza into the rain curtain. Considering that the situation was really unclear, after Xiahou Dun drove them into the rain curtain, he withdrew the front line for defense and had no intention of pursuing them. Who knows if there is an ambush in the rain curtain? What if there is a team of Holy Death Riders waiting there, Xiahou Dun would be killed if he rushed over.

Only a tough guy like Zhang Xiu, who leads two hundred serious super backbones, would dare to chase directly into the rain. For him, there is nothing to be afraid of even if he encounters the Holy Death Knights. There are only a few hundred people left on the opposite side. If he encounters them head-on, he will not surrender on the spot. In this case, what is there to be afraid of? Just launch an all-out counterattack, and I will give you a big blow!
Facing Zhang Xiu's operations on the battle line, Bakza and Gorgan were a little confused. In this battlefield where they had no idea of ​​the battle situation, how could someone be so reckless as to use such tactics? What a reckless man!
This is not recklessness, this is bullying. There are less than 800 core members of the Holy Death Knights under Ardashir, and the others have been incorporated into the elite of each department as middle-level backbones to strengthen organizational strength. Since there are only these few left, what do I have to be afraid of? Kill him!
So after Bakza realized this, he quickly led his troops to retreat. He had no choice but to retreat. If he did not retreat, he would be entangled by such a main force. The troops under his command, who were scattered in order to increase their momentum, would probably be killed on the spot. Retreat, he must retreat!
"It's not Ardashir!" Xiahou Yuan also confirmed the situation at this time and ran over to inform Cao Ren, "But the enemy has more than one legion. Considering that there is still Sakara who hasn't taken action, there should be three legions here. This means that Ardashir must have forced a legion to march over. The enemy is trying to stop us. Now the rain is too heavy. Once Ardashir comes from another road and attacks our rear, with the Holy Death Riders leading the way, it is very likely that the battle line will collapse directly."

The reason why they did not collapse in the surprise attack was that the legions that launched the surprise attack had no way to break into the main camp of the Han army. The periphery was deployed with elite backbones, and most of them were shield guards. Even the shield guards were no pushovers after all these years. If they could hold on, they would be guaranteed to be able to fight in actual combat.

As long as the outer shield guards are not defeated on the spot, the soldiers in the middle will stabilize themselves after a while even if they are in chaos for a while. After all, the soldiers have experienced a lot of situations with the shield guards.

But the Holy Death Cavalry is a type of soldier that the Shield Guards cannot defend against. Now the rain makes it impossible for them to determine from which direction the Holy Death Cavalry will attack, and naturally it is impossible for them to deploy defenses in advance to block them. As a result, after Ardashir appears, it is very likely that he will directly break through the front line, rush forward, and attack the interior of the Han army's front line.

The chaos that would break out at that time would very likely cause the Han army to collapse directly from within, which would be extremely fatal.

"Let Zi Lian dispatch all the backbones to the rear and be prepared to hold off Ardashir to buy time. We can't retreat now. Although the opposing legions here are not many, they are all elite and are obviously delaying time. Even if we want to retreat, it's not easy to retreat in this rain where we can't see the battle situation clearly." Cao Ren said with a gloomy expression.

To be honest, Cao Ren remembered what Zhang Xiu had said before at this time - it would be better to retreat. Although this was based on a stain on Cao Cao's entire ability, causing Cao Cao's strategy to collapse directly, but for Cao Ren, it would be better to retreat directly because of what was happening now.

Although from a strategic point of view, it was definitely the right choice to attack the Helmand River crossing at this point in time, but due to the state of his soldiers, Cao Ren, who led the army, had no way to force a march in the rain. The low morale and resentful attitude of the soldiers forced Cao Ren to take a break in the middle of the journey. This allowed Ardashir to send back a legion in advance to block Cao Ren in front of the Helmand River crossing.

From a certain perspective, Cao Cao's strategy had already failed. The idea was correct, but the people who were going to execute it were simply unable to do so.

Although Han Xin said when he met Li You and Yang Hu that being able to think of some things is the most important thing, but the strategy you think of cannot be executed by humans at all, so there is actually no difference between thinking it up and not thinking it up.

"Do you think Ardashir will attack from the rear?" Xiahou Yuan asked Cao Ren. To be honest, Xiahou Yuan now somewhat regretted that he should not have patrolled back and forth to inform Cao Ren that he could not force a march. The morale of his soldiers was very low, and they were showing resentment.

In this case, if these soldiers had marched all the way without rest, and exploded in the second half, and then rested again, they would probably not have arrived here by now. In this case, although the strategy exploded, at least there was no loss of personnel. But now, the strategy exploded and personnel were also lost.

Thinking about this, Xiahou Yuan felt that it was not unacceptable for Zhang Xiu to come and suggest that everyone abandon the plan and retreat when the whole army was resting.

Although Xiahou Yuan didn't actually understand the logic here, Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren were not arguing because of going to the Helmand River and the low morale of their soldiers. It was simply that Zhang Xiu felt that he needed to change people and then test Cao Ren.

Although the answer given by Cao Ren was quite vague, from a certain perspective, he had actually agreed with Zhang Xiu's operation. Thinking means making choices, and Cao has been put in a position to make choices. So the biggest difference between agreeing and disagreeing is the bargaining chip.

Some things have already reached the point where the stakes are high, so both sides already have a clear idea of ​​how to deal with them. So after Cao Ren rejected his plan, Zhang Xiu didn't say anything and just continued to execute the previous military orders.

Anyway, Zhang Xiu had no intention of implementing this plan right now. What he was doing now was more about confirming the thoughts of these Cao family officers. Since the most core Cao Ren had this attitude, even if other officers had different attitudes, they would have to do so as Cao Ren was stopping them.

"Die!" Just when Cao Ren ordered Cao Hong to mobilize soldiers to defend the rear, Ardashir appeared on the rear front line. Completely different from the estimates of Cao's officers and officers from other families, Ardashir arrived even earlier than Bakza and others expected!

"Bakza, Gorgan, Sakara, I'm here!" Ardashir led the three or four hundred Holy Death Knights and several hundred high-speed assault infantry. After stabbing to death Cao Hong who was deploying defenses in the rear, he killed his way through the rear line of battle in a few strokes. He performed in an unparalleled manner with a miraculous manner, cut out a large open space, and announced loudly to everyone.

Wild and arrogant, it gave everyone more confidence. For a moment, Bakza and others, who were originally at a disadvantage and could only fight back step by step, roared and launched an attack.

"You guys hold the front, and watch me cross the Han army's front line!" Ardashir said arrogantly, and then the sound of horse hooves rang out, echoing in the valley. Just a few hundred Holy Death Riders rushed towards Cao Hong's main camp like thousands of troops. Ardashir really began to implement his crazy plan. He was really ready to kill his way through the Han army's front line.

"Stop them!" Cao Ren realized that something was wrong when he heard this voice, but in this situation, he couldn't see anything clearly under the rain. Cao Ren wanted to activate the special secret technique of changing the sky, but he failed three times in a row. It was obvious that Ardashir and Bakza had prepared means to curb this secret technique.

As a result, both sides launched attacks even though they knew of the other side's existence but did not know where the other side was or how many troops the other side had, and could only sense each other's momentum.

The hundreds of Ardashir's men really displayed the momentum of thousands of troops at this moment. Even though they had been rushing all the way here, the Holy Death Knights under Ardashir were actually somewhat exhausted. But under the leadership of Ardashir, endless power surged out of their bodies, and the golden light enveloped them, and now they launched an attack on everything in front of them.

The rear formation was easily broken, as they could not see the opponent clearly. The Holy Death Knights had absolute killing power, and at this time they even turned on their Miracle Posture to the maximum, sweeping across in a nearly crushing manner. Even if the Han army wanted to stop them, they were unable to do so.

After all, it was too late to catch up with those who couldn't see, and those who could be seen were basically already dead. Even though the elite veterans under Cao Hong had quite good combat effectiveness, they were not organized. Facing the Holy Death Cavalry, whose number was unclear but whose scale seemed very large, rushing towards them, they could do nothing. In addition, Cao Hong was unexpectedly offline, and even if the officers and soldiers didn't realize what was happening, the overall command was ruined!

"Stop them!" The old soldiers in the rear army had realized that something was wrong. Although they were also surprised why Cao Hong had no reaction now, if they did not save themselves at this time, they would die. The charging Holy Death Knights did not care how many levels of smelting you were. Even if you were a fifth-level warrior, facing the Holy Death Knights led by Ardashir, you would basically have no way to die.

At this time, seeing a ball of light rushing towards them in the rain, the old soldiers of the Han army tightened their weapons while their faces turned green. There was nothing to say. Now that things had come to this, they could only fight for their lives. If they faced death, there was still a way to survive. If they did not fight hard, they would only die.

After all, they are veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, or even decades. They can't help but know what will happen if the current situation where the battle line is cut like water continues. The sharp soldiers break the formation, and the large army follows. When the sharp soldiers cut the battle line and the large army rushes in and surges forward, even if they want to fight back, it will be too late.

However, without a large-scale elite army to block the attack, the destructive power of the Holy Death Cavalry was raised to the extreme. The elite Han army of dozens or hundreds of people who spontaneously formed themselves were almost defeated at the first touch when facing the full-strength Holy Death Cavalry. Even if there were several or even dozens of elite backbones among them, they had no way to fight against the charging Holy Death Cavalry.

"Brother Ma! Build a defense line. Never let them rush to our side. Bring your brothers to build a blocking line, otherwise we will all die!" Centurion Feng Ke shouted loudly at Ma Pin. The Holy Death Knights could not be defeated in a short time against two hundred elite guards. But if the two hundred guards were divided into several groups of a dozen or so, they would be sending themselves to death. They could not even take away the soldiers of the Holy Death Knights.

Therefore, seeing that Lao Qian and others who passed by in front couldn't even stop them, Feng Ke decisively launched a large-scale linkage, forcibly pulling in the backbone elites he knew to deploy defenses. He absolutely could not let the Holy Death Knights pass by to kill. If they continued to kill, the center line would be blown up and everyone would die together!
"Brave warriors, follow me!" While Feng Keyong was trying to capture elite backbones to fill the battle line, Sun Ling had already led the brave warriors to break through and block the defense line. If they didn't block it, they would die!
