Chapter 6745 Strong Foundation

Chapter 6745 Strong Foundation

The veterans under Cao Cao's command have a very clear understanding of the Holy Death Cavalry - once these things charge, don't even think about holding them off by defense if you don't have the capabilities of the Iron Cavalry headquarters, you can only fight against the opponent head-on and see if you can kill them directly.

Therefore, after judging in the rain that Ardashir had led the Holy Death Knights to charge, the faces of the old soldiers in the rear turned green. So after realizing that things were becoming irreversible, and it could even be said that they didn't even know what was going on and were about to collapse suddenly, the old soldiers who couldn't see the overall situation decisively began to save themselves!

"Follow me!" Sun Ling's face was twisted into a ball, but at this time, retreating would definitely mean his death, and pretending to be dead might not help him escape. The only thing he could do was to face it head-on and give the Holy Death Knight a chance to die.

Of course, if you push forward, you will probably die, but if you don't, you will probably die too. Since you will die if you advance and you will die if you retreat, you might as well rush forward and deal a few swords. All the talents honed over the years are just for the purpose of having a little counterattack power when you are risking your life!

Sun Ling jumped up and drew his sword. The sharp whistling sound from the blade directly located the other warriors. Then, thirty or forty warriors gathered in the direction of Sun Ling upon hearing the sound, and then collectively rushed towards the Holy Death Knights who were shining and emitting a magnificent sound not far away.

"Kill!" Sun Ling's momentum exploded to the limit at this moment, and the Hidden God Sword was stimulated to the most extreme level. He was ready to forcibly activate the Death Sword and die together with the opponent when the Holy Death Knight launched a fatal attack on him. At this time, whoever was cowardly would surely die. If he didn't cowardly, at least he would die with dignity, and he could also save more of his brothers. So just charge!
The extreme thrust of the sharp soldiers allowed veterans like Sun Ling to pass directly over the heads of their own soldiers as if they had the ability to shrink the earth. The reason why ordinary sharp soldiers could not act with veterans like Sun Ling was that they had not yet suffered a blow. If they wanted to use the Hidden God Sword to maximize the damage, they could not jump out of the battle line, and if they wanted to kill people, they would most likely hurt their comrades first.

Like a moth fluttering across the battle line in front of him, Sun Ling raised his hand and slashed at the Holy Death Knight who was launching a strong attack. The extreme lethality of the Sharp Warrior and Sun Ling's unimaginable speed of attack directly cut into the opponent's waist and abdomen before the Holy Death Knight had any time to parry. At this moment, the Holy Death Knight's armor was like butter encountering a hot knife, and it naturally cracked.

And Sun Ling himself, driven by the Hidden God Sword, cut through the Holy Death Knights and slashed directly forward. The super killing power of the Sharp Warriors was fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Brother Sun, stop, it's an illusion!" Sun Ling killed seven or eight enemy soldiers in a row. Seeing more enemy soldiers in front of him, he was about to use his death sword, but was rushed over by the sharp warriors behind him and held down.

When he was held down and forcibly dragged back, Sun Ling was still cursing, but after taking two steps back, Sun Ling saw the Holy Death Knight turning into light. At this moment, Sun Ling really wanted to find Ardashir's real body, and then rush up to see if he could give the opponent two death swords. What a beast!

"Damn, such a big noise here turned out to be phantom soldiers!" Sun Ling was stunned, but as an experienced man who had seen all kinds of fancy operations on the battlefield, Sun Ling quickly realized that this guy was creating a lot of sound and light in the rain to attract the backbone of the Han army's rear line to encircle and suppress them. The real main force took advantage of the fact that backbones like Sun Ling were withdrawn to concentrate their superior forces to kill the regular Han army that had lost its backbone.

To put it bluntly, this is a complete set of tactics to maximize the destruction of available military forces.

After all, most legions only have two or three hundred backbones, and they are not like Yan Xing who, in addition to two or three hundred backbones, also has several deputy generals who can command the legion. After two or three hundred backbones are withdrawn from a normal legion, the other trash who have lost their organizational ability are not much different from weeds, if not the same.

Inserting the sword into the ground, Sun Ling didn't care about the tearing pain in his muscles. He decisively activated his elite talent and began a large-scale screening of the location of Ardashir's main army. At this time, don't worry about being exposed or not. This is a reconnaissance talent with the same attributes as Wu Xi. The reconnaissance range can be said to be the widest among the current reconnaissance capabilities, and the accuracy is also quite good.

"Damn!" A lot of information was fed back, and Sun Ling's face almost turned ashen. Ardashir did rush in from the rear formation, but after breaking the shield guard line of the rear formation, he directly separated into two detachments with very powerful sound and light effects, which greatly attracted the elite backbones of the rear formation. Now, Sun Ling and his dozens of rear formation backbones, plus the soldiers commanded by these backbones, are blocking this direction, while the other direction is blocked by the defense line reconstructed by Feng Ke.

To be honest, these two fronts now have an absolute advantage, and it won't take long to annihilate all the opponents that stand in their way. However, there is a problem. These two Holy Death Knights with awesome sound and light effects are all phantom warriors. The real Holy Death Knights are now led by Ardashir, and are killing those ordinary soldiers who have been demobilized from middle and lower-level officers.

That's really unparalleled mowing, with no bottom line!

Ordinary regular soldiers can't fight against the miraculous Holy Death Knights. With the elite veterans, they can form a front to resist for a while, delay some time, and then gather the main forces to fight a few times. Now the veterans are attracted by the powerful phantom soldiers with sound and light special effects, and only ordinary soldiers are left to hold on. How can they hold on? They are almost collapsing at the first touch!
Sun Ling said that he had never seen such a disgusting way of fighting in his life. Ardashir, do you still have any dignity as the commander of a large army?

It must be said that this time the veteran made an error in judgment because he could not see the battle line clearly. However, the veteran had faced the Holy Death Knight, a very special type of soldier, many times and knew very well that if he did not use elite troops to attack and instead used conventional blockades, the number of brothers who would be squeezed in would be too large.

That's why every time they encounter an attack by the Holy Death Cavalry, the elite veterans appear directly in front of the Holy Death Cavalry. Elite veterans at the centurion level personally lead the front line to face the Holy Death Cavalry. It is somewhat stretched for one person to lead a hundred regular soldiers to face the Holy Death Cavalry, and it is easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity to kill them. But more than fifty elite veterans, leading more than five hundred regular elites, can still have no problem stopping the Holy Death Cavalry, which currently has only a few hundred people left. In this way, the losses will be small after a battle.

This was actually the battle plan of Sun Ling and Feng Ke. The former would go to the front to take over the front line, use the elite warriors to fend off the Holy Death Cavalry, and build a counterattack line. The latter would capture elite veterans to build a front line to withstand the impact. In this way, as long as the Holy Death Cavalry was strangled and the front line did not collapse, the shield guards that were broken through by the ordinary legion behind the Holy Death Cavalry would have a support and the front line could be reconstructed.

As a result, Ardashir played a new operation in the rain. The two with the biggest sound and light effects were the phantom warriors, while the main body went to cut vegetables.

Is this kind of thing something a human could do?
"We're really doomed. I'm afraid General Cao Hong is finished too." Lou Xiang, who was nearly sixty years old, looked at the Holy Death Cavalry that was already rushing towards him, and basically determined that the rear-line position was completely doomed. He was an old guard during the Yellow Turban era, and his position was close to the central army. Now he saw the Holy Death Cavalry here. Needless to say, what was the situation?

"Gouzi, take the young people and retreat to the Xiliang soldiers." Lou Xiang decisively called out to his nephew who was only in his twenties. It would not work to let Gouzi run alone, so it would be better to let the young people go together. This would at least be reasonable.

"Uncle..." The young man called Gouzi looked at Lou Xiang in confusion, then looked at the rain in front of him, but couldn't make out anything. Although there were some shadowy figures and some shouting, it hadn't reached this point yet. Wasn't it fine before?
"Feng Ke used his elite talent to pull all the veterans before. I judged the distance was too far and did not accept it. But according to the private communication among our group earlier, Feng Ke used his linked talent, which means he encountered the Holy Death Cavalry and needed elite veterans to lead the team to block and blockade it. Now the Holy Death Cavalry is here." Lou Xiang said this with a sigh on his face, which was the indifference after judging the overall situation.

There is nothing much to say, don’t care about life or death, just fight if you don’t agree!

"What does this mean?" Gou Zi asked puzzledly.

Lou Xiang patted Gou Zi on the back of his head. The helmet was a bit prickly, so Lou Xiang withdrew his hand.

"It's impossible for the Holy Death Knights to kill those people Feng Ke had gathered before so quickly. To be precise, the defense line formed by that group of people is the real defense line in the rear line. However, now that the Holy Death Knights are here, it can only mean that Feng Ke misjudged. The Holy Death Knights are not on their side." After saying that, Lou Xiang pushed Gou Zi and said, "Take the young ones and roll over to the position in Xiliang. I promised your mother that you will be fine. Fuck, you are my only sister who survived."

After hearing this, Gou Zi decisively took those young soldiers and left here, running towards the direction of the Xiliang soldiers. Lou Xiang drew out the sword from his waist. This was a divine sword equivalent to the ninth level of nobility. Damn it, he was really unlucky.

"To be honest, in this situation, General Cao Hong is probably doomed. The ones coming here must be the real Holy Death Knights. That guy Ardashir is most likely deceiving Feng Ke and others to gather the backbones of our rear army together, and then use his most elite veterans to rush in and mow down the enemies." After gathering the brothers here together, Lou Xiang immediately expressed his judgment.

"Can a team of just a dozen guys stop the Holy Death Knights?" Hearing Lou Xiang's words, the old soldiers who had gathered here also had numb expressions on their faces. What the hell was going on?

"You can't stop them. Those who can activate the Heavenly Demon Disintegration will do so, and those who can activate the Rage will do so. Don't expect to survive. Use the highest burst and forcefully suppress the Saint Death Riders." Lou Xiang said simply, "Otherwise, the young men in the rear will probably be killed by the Saint Death Riders."

It is somewhat difficult for the Holy Death Cavalry to kill big guys like Feng Ke, Ma Pin, Sun Ling, and Lou Xiang. Moreover, if there are a large number of these big guys, and they stay together with a group of regular troops to protect them, they will most likely be able to hold back the Holy Death Cavalry. But if there is only a group of regular troops, and there are no backbones embedded in the regular troops to command, then they will really have to cut down the enemies.

To put it bluntly, in just a short while, after tricking away the veterans in the rear, the number of kills by Ardashir and his Holy Death Knights had exceeded the number of kills they had managed to strangle Yan Xing. This was what it meant to effectively kill the enemy's manpower.

"With my physical condition, can I still fight against the devil?" An old soldier looked at his thick joints and finger bones that were a little skinny due to aging, with a look of helplessness on his face. Well, anyway, I'm over 50 years old, which is considered a long life in an era when the average age is 30. It's not a loss. I'll just do it!
"Here they come!" As the Holy Death Knights gradually became clearer in the rain, Lou Xiang clearly saw how the battle line that had been arranged beforehand collapsed. The killing and breakthrough capabilities of the Holy Death Knights were fully demonstrated in this battle line that lacked lower-level command.

Lou Xiang didn't say a word. They could only meet head-on at this point. He picked up the magic sword and rushed directly towards the Holy Death Knight. The talent that he had refined for more than thirty years was unlocked to the limit at this moment. He even didn't care about the damage to his body at all, and it was directly unlocked to a level that surpassed the previous level.

The sword light extended in an arc from the tip of Lou Xiang's sword and slashed towards the Holy Death Knight. However, the Holy Death Knight's soldiers simply swung their spears to shatter the arc of light, and then rushed towards Lou Xiang with an indomitable momentum.

The immortal veteran is indeed very strong, but anyone who can enter a miracle is already an immortal.

Just a staggered blow, and some sparks flew out of Lou Xiang's armor. And this was the result of Lou Xiang's dodging with all his strength. He was in no condition to activate the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, and the talent of Rage was not suitable for him. As for the finishing move he mastered, it would take some time before he could use it.

Fighting with all his might, he pulled over three or four Holy Death Knights. The extremely fast movement soon warmed up Lou Xiang's body, which had been chilled by the heavy rain. Feeling the state of his own meridians and looking at the four or five Holy Death Knights who had surrounded him, Lou Xiang no longer hesitated after confirming that he could use the finishing move.

The power exploded to the limit, and at that moment, with the eyes of the Holy Death Knights, they could easily see that the rain and sweat on Lou Xiang's body were shaken into mist, and the raindrops close to Lou Xiang were directly bounced away, and Lou Xiang's momentum also suddenly rose from its original level.

The instantaneous explosion of power stimulated to the limit was fully controlled by the integration of special innate power, and the physical fitness brought by muscle defense ensured that such a violent use of power would not cause the body to explode into powder on the spot. But even so, the terrifying power stimulated at that moment still caused a layer of blood mist to form on Lou Xiang's body surface, and his whole body was stinging, but it didn't matter anymore.

Relying on the integration of power that was enough to penetrate deeply into the cells at this moment, Lou Xiang injected nearly all of his power into the magic sword in the form of vibration. Under the influence of his special talent, this magic sword purchased from a special channel of the Han Dynasty vibrated for a moment and then there was no sound.

But this does not mean that there is no vibration, but that it can no longer be heard.

Moreover, after this vibration reached its extreme point, the original divine sword began to glow. If someone could observe carefully at this time, they would find that there was a circle of blank space of about a hair's breadth from the outer edge of the divine sword to the position of the light. After this layer of blank space, the glowing outer edge would appear next.

"Sure enough, I can do it." Lou Xiang just waved his hand casually, and then after the sword was retracted, he took a look and said with emotion. This is an unknown talent's finishing move, the Sword of Light, which has no special effects, but can cut off everything. Although it is only the lowest level Sword of Light, which can only cut molecular bonds, it is still almost indestructible.

There was no trace of blood on the blade, and the four Holy Death Knights in front were directly chopped into eight pieces. Then, blood gushed out of Lou Xiang's body, and the divine sword, which maintained the state of a sword containing light, pierced directly into the ground with the help of gravity, just like a huge rock entering the water, penetrating hundreds of meters underground without any obstruction until its talent was exhausted.

Ardashir, who rushed over at this time, had a somewhat grim look on his face. He had already seen three or four old Han soldiers who were willing to drag the Holy Death Knights to die together when they were dying. Moreover, each of them was quite old, and looked to be around sixty years old.

There's no way. Among the veteran soldiers under Cao's command, under normal circumstances, the most capable fighters are definitely those newly trained guards who are around 40 years old. But if it comes to risking their lives, those good family boys from the Three Rivers and Five Schools who are around 60 years old, who have participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and followed Huangfu Song to fight all over the world, are the real capable fighters. After all, if it comes to risking their lives, these old guys can really use the finishing moves.

As for anything that can be called a finishing move, generally speaking, as long as it hits the opponent, it is enough to finish the opponent. There are gods who can withstand finishing moves these days, but most of the Holy Death Knights under Ardashir cannot do it.

Especially a thing like the Hanguang Sword, which doesn't seem to have any special effects, can't fire light cannons, and has a small killing range. If you really use it to kill people, even mental defense can't withstand a few cuts from it. Even if it is the most basic thing, it is a weapon that directly penetrates into the molecular level.

"Everyone follow me to kill!" Ardashir glanced at Lou Xiang and gave the order coldly. At this moment, he became more and more aware of what kind of foundation the Han Dynasty possessed. Even though Cao was courting death, this exaggerated foundation really made Ardashir realize the gap between the two sides.

However, precisely because of this foundation, we must seize this opportunity and weaken it as much as possible.

"Ardashir, your grandfather Zhang Xiu is here!" Just when Ardashir was preparing to continue to take advantage of the opportunity to deceive the Han backbones and mow down the Han front line, Zhang Xiu rushed over with a wild laugh. Zhang Xiu would definitely not attack Ardashir who had a full complement of Holy Death Knights, but if he had to attack Ardashir who only had a few hundred Holy Death Knights left, I, Zhang Xiu, would beat the fallen dog and kill him!

You’re lucky that you didn’t meet him before. Now, your grandfather Zhang Xiu is here!

It's late, it's late...
