Chapter 6792 Retreat

Chapter 6792 Retreat

Xu Huang and Barak are both very serious officers, which means that they are somewhat methodical when fighting, and it is rare to see any fancy moves. Such people may not perform well when fighting against opponents stronger than themselves, because if you fight against an opponent stronger than yourself, you cannot win without some fancy moves.

But this kind of combat strategy, when used to fight against guys weaker than yourself, is really like "you can use all kinds of tactics, but I can defeat them all by myself."

When Bakza saw Dian Wei leading the top shield guards to rush into the main camp and push the entire battle line into an inverted cone shape, he realized that something was wrong. Even though he relied on his cooperation talent and used the large shield on the shield cart to stop Dian Wei and others, the battle line was compressed to this extent, and the pressure in every link was too great. At this time, once a certain position was cut off, it would be difficult for him to repair it even if he wanted to.

Just when Bakza came up with this idea, Xu Huang had already ordered Cao Zhen to lead a small number of elite soldiers to press forward, not to the center line, but to the left of the center line. They were pushed down by the Tiger Guards, forming a battle line position extending backwards.

Seeing a group of elite soldiers rushing forward, Xu Huang's face was gloomy. He was aware that he had to use his troops like mud, especially at this time. The sooner the front line was opened, the more advantageous it would be for his side. Therefore, some sacrifices were a problem that had to be faced, and the elite soldiers were the best soldiers to open the front line at this time.

Or to put it more directly, the Sharp Soldiers were trained since those days. Besides being cheap, their tactical positioning was to break through and harvest. Although there are some other types of soldiers that can replace the Sharp Soldiers today, when it comes to risking their lives, the Sharp Soldiers are still more useful.

Bakza had foreseen this scene, but he did not have a good way to defend. The main combat troops of both sides were too crowded and were almost out of the corridor. Even if Bakza wanted to transfer troops, he had to face the reality that he could not block the defense quickly.

"Die!" A bright sword light came out from Cao Zhen's direction. There were not many people, less than one hundred and fifty. However, such a battle line with a width of less than twenty meters did not require so many people. After the Tiger Guards gave up half a body space, a large number of sharp warriors broke in directly.

The Undead Guards, relying on their iron bodies and thick armor, can indeed block the sharp warriors with low kill numbers, but facing Cao Zhen's carefully selected elite soldiers and their specially made swords, unless it is the Tiger Guards who stand in Cao Zhen's way at this moment, it is only a matter of time before they are killed.

The sword light was fading, there was nothing they could do, after all, they were not sharp warriors like Demon Lord Guangyuan or Zhang Huang who could fight and resist. They were strong, but they would not have a crushing effect on other types of soldiers. In this environment that was conducive to their own combat, they did show considerable combat effectiveness, but to say that they completely crushed the Undead Guards led by the backbones, that would be a bit of an underestimation of the last essence of the Parthian Empire.

However, Xu Huang did not think that such a small number of elite soldiers could break through the enemy. What he wanted was for the elite soldiers to open a temporary passable path in the opponent's front line, and then use heavy cavalry to forcibly cut the front line, divide the battlefield, increase the contact area between the two sides, and bring out the actual combat capabilities of his top veterans.

Why did it take only a dozen seconds to destroy half of the camp in the tunnel? Then Xu Huang led his men to rush forward and took down the camp in half an incense stick of time. After that, they rushed into the tunnel and were about to break out, but were stopped by Bakza's team outside the tunnel.

To put it bluntly, this corridor is too narrow. If the combat power that Bakza can mobilize is concentrated on the front line, it will be able to stop the top elite troops of the Han army.

But the problem is, Bakza can only mobilize a few elite troops, and Xu Huang still has hundreds of backbones who are above the fifth level of smelting. In this 20-meter-wide corridor, as long as he can find the opportunity to stuff these fifth-level smelting backbones into the weak point behind the opposite front line, Xu Huang is sure to blow up Bakza on the spot.

The reason you, Bakza, can stop me is that you have concentrated all your strengths in the front, and the terrain of the tunnel means that you don't need to worry about being attacked from the rear. But on the other hand, if the weak front line in the rear is attacked, it would be a miracle if your front line can continue to hold on.

Don't think that the Undead Guards are like grass in front of Zhang Huang. That's because Zhang Huang himself is special. In the entire Han Dynasty, there are only Zhang Huang and Qi Xiu who can do what Zhang Huang does and instantly kill elite backbones with unqualified will attributes. This is the specialness brought about by this transcendent will.

In fact, if you look at Demon Lord Guangyuan, you will know that he can't kill the guards and has to rely on weapons to chop them. Only Zhang Huang can directly kill those whose willpower is lower than a certain level. This is why Bakza has mobilized a group of people to block Zhang Huang. Other veterans, even the strongest Zhu Tao, are not as lethal to the army as Zhang Huang. How many can Zhu Tao kill? At most, dozens of them will die.

After all, the Undead Guards are led by the soldiers of the Holy Death Knights, and they are also strong enough. They are still alive and know how to dodge and parry. Zhu Tao is strong, but his Sword of Light cannot last forever. In this kind of battlefield, Zhu Tao has to allocate his physical strength to avoid losing balance and being surrounded and killed.

But Zhang Huang is different. He is a ruthless man who can kill hundreds of people on the spot.

So the previous battlefield was mainly fought around three points. One was the Zhanghuang area surrounded by half of the miracle backbones under Bakza. In this area, a group of veterans and the backbones of the Holy Death Knights were fighting. The veterans wanted to kill all the more than 20 people of the Holy Death Knights here, and then throw Zhanghuang over there, kill the Undead Guards, open the front line, and rush forward.

The core members of the Holy Death Knights wanted to rush forward, chop down Zhang Huang, and then slowly fight with this group of people. Both sides launched wave after wave of powerful attacks around Zhang Huang.

Another point is that Bakza led his personal guards who worked together to use shields to block Dianwei's front line. This point is nothing to see. Dianwei's output is very strong, but don't expect to kill Bakza and his subordinates with such a thick shield in a short time.

The last point is where the other main forces of the Han army are fighting. Now, the Rui Shi has made a successful breakthrough. With the assistance of Xun You, Xiahou Dun opened the cloud solidification road and led a small number of elite veterans whose average level is not worse than Zhang Huang's. He directly followed the route opened by the Rui Shi, forced his way in, and began to cut the battle line.

The war horses suffered heavy damage, after all, the road opened by the elite soldiers was very narrow. But for Xiahou Dun, it was enough to be able to pass through. Who cared about whether it was narrow or not? After rushing in, he would naturally find a way to solve the problem.

"Die!" Xiahou Dun brandished his spear in anger and, relying on his fierce strength, he killed with one blow a core member of the Holy Death Riders who was leading the team that was trying to block this side. Then the veterans behind him rushed forward and tried their best to kill all the Undead Guards led by the other side.

At this moment Bakza's expression turned extremely ugly. Because of Zhang Huang's existence, he had to transfer the backbones who could withstand Zhang Huang's oppression and killing to Zhang Huang's side to prevent Zhang Huang from breaking through the front line and causing devastating damage to the Undead Guards.

The only backbones who could resist Zhang Huang's will and beheading were the Holy Death Knights. Among the Undead Guards, only those who were above the fourth level of smelting could resist this kind of will. The question was, how many of these people were there in a legion? Five?
As a result, most of the elite backbones were gathered at Zhang Huang's side, and the rest were all on the front line to block the Han army. As a result, now that Xiahou Dun followed the path opened by the elite soldiers and forced his way into Bakza's front line, he was facing almost all Undead Guards without backbone command.

How can this be blocked!

At the same time, Xiahou Dun also noticed this, and decisively ordered his main backbones to divide into small groups of five people, and penetrate into Bakza's battle line in the shape of trees.

It would be absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers to execute such an order at this time. Even if the Undead Guards did not have core centurions to command, it would be extremely dangerous for a team of five to charge directly into the enemy's front line. But for the old man who had already prepared for the fifth level of smelting under Xiahou Dun, it was not a problem at all. In one word, kill!

For a moment, Bakza's flank was in chaos, and the chaos spread from the inner circle to the outer circle. As a result, Xu Huang, who had been waiting for the opportunity, saw that the core soldiers in the inner circle even turned around and began to attack the core soldiers of Bakza in front, so he decisively pressed Zhang Xiu's troops forward.

To be honest, the backbone of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command is not very effective in breakthroughs, but when used in entanglement, Zhang Xiu's backbone of the Iron Cavalry can make the opponent sick to death. This is a legion that is better at defense than the Undead Guards, and can rely on strength and defense to wear down the enemy's power.

"Charge!" Zhang Ping rushed forward with a gun in his hand very arrogantly. Yin Zhi gave Zhang Ping a spiritual blessing helplessly, which made Zhang Ping, a man of the seventh heaven, burst out with the most terrifying power among all the veterans. The spiral force field combined with the airflow control, only a single shot from the spear killed, and the vacuum gun path with the airflow roller directly smashed towards the Undead Guards on the opposite side.

One of the twenty or so Seventh-Layer Smelters under the age of fifty-five who can be active on the battlefield, Zhang Yong is an important member of the Victims Association, and he has achieved remarkable results with just one move.

As for why Zhang Ping and Yin Zhi were here, Zhuge Liang was curious about what was happening here, so he planned to arrange some people to come and take a look, but Zhuge Liang did not have any god-level veterans, so he asked Li You for them. Li You listed four for Zhuge Liang to choose from, and finally Zhuge Liang chose Zhang Ping and Yin Zhi.

Then, just as these two arrived, before they could figure out the situation, a coup d'état occurred. So they had no choice but to join Zhang Xiu's army and become Zhang Xiu's personal guards.

"Die!" The vacuum positive and negative spirals released by Zhang Ping with wild laughter were more than ten meters long. Although theoretically speaking, this move should be the finishing move of the Yueqi or Yuyangqi, to be honest, there is basically no one who can use this finishing move better than Zhang Ping. This guy's spiral force field is extremely well-trained, and the airflow control has extended operability. With the help of Yin Zhi, this move directly swept away even the Undead Guards.

As a result, when Zhang Ping rushed forward, he was killed before the opponent could stop him.

After all, this is an extremely rare seventh-level smelting, and there is no water added at all. It is all achieved through hard work by a super ruthless person who can withstand any change in the world. More importantly, unlike Zhu Tao, who has not received any muscle-building and bone-strengthening injections and has deficient basic qualities, Zhang Ping has maxed out all the basics.

"Who is that guy?" Bashu looked at the man who rushed forward even more wildly than himself, and totally ignored the opponent's javelins. Even when the backbone of the Holy Death Knight threw a javelin with instant power burst, the opponent did not even dodge and just used his talent normally to bounce it off. This guy has such strong power, strong defense, a killing talent finishing move, and he even cast a lightsaber of will on himself. Where did this god come from?

Xu Yuan's iron boots hit the opponent's calf, and then he seized the opportunity to slash at the opponent with a sword. Although the opponent successfully blocked it, he still beat the opponent back repeatedly. He turned his head to look in the direction that Bashu said, and saw Zhang Ping killing people in a panic, and he looked like he didn't care about the opponent's attacks at all and was in a terrifying posture of outputting with all his strength. To be honest, in Zhang Ping's current state, he could only let his internal energy leave his body and hit him hard.

"He was the Wuwei Commander, or the Jincheng Commander, but he probably quit now." Xu Yuan said with some melancholy after taking a look. He used to be at the same level as Zhang Ping, but now, Zhang Ping's performance is almost in the top ten. God knows when the other party evolved, it's too powerful.

If Zhang Ping heard this, he would definitely say that the Romans used the Locust Sky as a weapon and shot it out with the Mediterranean Utopia as a bowstring to attack the immortal realm. The whole person was accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound. After realizing life and death, he would naturally advance.

All in all it's quite outrageous, but if you talk about the rationality of advancement, it's completely reasonable. If you have been played with like this a few times and felt the speed and passion, but still haven't advanced, then your qualifications will have been wasted.

"Stronger than me." Bashu took a look and said, "It seems that there is no blind spot at all. Strength, attack, defense, and will are all-round. This should be one of the most powerful veterans of your era. I'm afraid that even the opponent's internal energy commander will have a hard time taking him down."

"After the seventh level of smelting, the difference in basic quality is not obvious. At least, it is not obvious when performing under the cloud." Xu Yuan looked at the backbone of the Holy Death Knights who had begun to retreat, and spoke as he chased them. The other veterans around were also listening to Xu Yuan's words. After all, they had never seen a veteran like Zhang Ping in the last era.

Even if it is Zhu Tao, if we only look at the performance, there is actually a gap between him and Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping is obviously half a head stronger than Zhu Tao. Although if Zhu Tao really takes into account those skills and other things, he has no problem to withstand the seventh level of smelting. He can suppress Peng Hong who has also undergone the seventh level of smelting, and he has actually proved himself. But Zhang Ping is really tall and strong, and although he is not as good as Xu Yuan, he is almost the same.

“As for whether he is one of the strongest veterans of our time, he is definitely one, but he is not the strongest. He and a guy at the same level as him formed a Zhang Yong Victims Association, which has many veterans participating.” Xu Yuan’s melancholy became even deeper. There was nothing he could do. When he thought of the Zhang Yong Victims Association, where each member was at his level, and Zhang Yong was still fine, he felt helpless.

To put it bluntly, Su Zong, Zhang Ping, Yin Zhi, these world-famous veterans, are still no match for Zhang Yong. If the three of them attack together, Zhang Yong can't win, but he can run away. Except for Jiang Guang, the second-stage demon, Zhang Yong, who has become a single miracle, can still withstand other things.

"That association, the average person is at my level, and yet Zhang Yong is still wandering around." Xu Yuan said with a sigh, and the veterans around him felt numb after hearing this. What kind of monster is this? Or to be more direct, how did this monster come into being?

"What's worse is that Zhang Yong's potential has not been fully realized." When Xu Yuan said this, the bitterness on his face could not be melted away. His potential was basically exhausted. It would take more than ten or twenty years to reach the seventh level. However, Zhang Yong still had a certain possibility of reaching the seventh level. The seventh level of smelting and single-cell miracle of refining Qi into Gang was so exciting that Xu Yuan felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it. It should be said that if Zhang Yong had not retired from the army to get married, he might have seen this amazing scene by now.

Why did Su Zong, Zhang Ping and Yin Zhi all band together but haven't made a move on Zhang Yong? Aside from the fact that they might not be able to defeat him, they also considered Zhang Yong's extraordinary talent, his almost gifted stamina and endurance. What if they caught and defeated him today, and he reached the seventh level in a few years? That would be a disaster!

By then, several incarnations of Su Zong would surely die, so a victims' association was established, but it was mainly used to keep each other warm and prevent Zhang Yong from having a brain attack and starting to bully people indiscriminately.

"This is really a sad story." Bashu said with a sigh.

"But Zhang Ping shouldn't be here." Xu Yuan said with some surprise.

"Maybe he was seconded here. Never mind. Just chase him!" Bashu took a glance. As a veteran who had gone through hundreds of battles, although he couldn't see the entire battlefield, he could still sense that the Undead Guards were gathering together. And at a time like this, he had to give the fallen dog a beating!
Bakza was also helpless. He did not want to give up the tunnel. After all, if the Han army broke through the tunnel and entered the Kabul Valley, it would be even more difficult to fight.

But now their own battle line has been cut. If they do not retreat and are outflanked by the Han army, the entire legion will be unable to delay the enemy strategically or effectively kill the enemy. It would be better for them to retreat to the periphery of the corridor and deploy defenses.

Of course, there is another point here. Bakza also realized that there were too many backbones among the Han soldiers. After the battle line was cut, the ordinary undead guards could not play the expected blocking effect when facing such backbones. If it was dragged on, the losses would be heavy and no gains would be made. It would be better to withdraw and reorganize the battle line first, which would at least reduce the losses.

With this idea in mind, Bakza finally chose Xu Huang's plan of fighting and retreating. Seeing this scene, Xu Huang, who was originally a little uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief.

Slipped away, slipped away
