Chapter 6797 Chaos

Chapter 6797 Chaos
Ardashir tried his best to kill the Han soldier in front of him. Even if he was facing such a fearless sixth or seventh level smelting warrior, it was not so easy to defeat him in the battle. And since Ardashir really appeared in the eyes of the Han veterans, a group of elite veterans who were well prepared surrounded him and tried to kill Ardashir.

Of course, it is also possible that they surrounded Ardashir first to prevent him from running away, and then waited for Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Le Jin and others from the Han army to come over, and then rushed forward to let Ardashir experience the treatment given to him by Lu Bu.

However, up to now, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun and others still have not come, which is enough to explain many problems. It is obvious that Xu Huang's idea is to delay Ardashir, and then let those top officers, with their own guards and their most core elite, severely strangle the Holy Death Cavalry.

If this kind of behavior had been carried out while Cao Cao was still in power and his soldiers were still doubtful, it would definitely not have been possible. But now that Cao Ang is in power, and before departure he has first rewarded everyone with a first-level title and 120,000 coins as excess travel expenses, and all those who are carrying out this kind of mission are the elite veterans from the previous era, then there is absolutely no problem.

What? We will die if we surround Ardashir? Ha, don’t you know that I am waiting to die in the battlefield? Anyway, I don’t want to go back alive. Let’s surround Ardashir!
There were more than a dozen sixth-level smelters who came from the sixth-level Tunqi or Sanheqi. The youngest old man was already 68 years old. Now this group of old men surrounded Ardashir.

Before, after He Ying, who had led this group of guys as the Sima of the Tunqi Army in the previous era, activated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration in front of the Holy Death Cavalry and desperately blocked the charge of the Holy Death Cavalry led by Ardashir, this group of young old guys surrounded them and shouted, and beat up this group of young people.

Aren't the Holy Death Knights famous for their high mobility and high attack power? They charge forward with an air of arrogance that no one can stop them, but on the other hand, if they are stopped, there are many top legions that can deal with the Holy Death Knights. He Ying had realized this before, so he rushed forward without dodging and fought Ardashir head-on. He died on the spot, and at the same time, he stopped Ardashir and his men.

There is no need to say more about what happened next. Seeing that He Ying successfully stopped Ardashir and his party, the charge of the Holy Death Knights was also stopped because of this blockage. The brothers around rushed over, howling. Although they all knew that if they rushed over to surround Ardashir, they would most likely die.
After all, Ardashir also brought a lot of Holy Death Knights. If it was just Ardashir alone, they would have surrounded him and maybe beaten him to death. But now, they would definitely be the ones to die. But it doesn't matter if they die. Anyway, we haven't died all yet, and you, Ardashir, will definitely not be able to escape.

Then the situation became what it is now. Elite veterans from other places kept killing their opponents and then surrounding us, so that now the battle circle here is getting bigger and bigger. The Holy Death Knights and even Nihawin have invested more and more elite troops, but the tactical breakthroughs that the cavalry was proud of are basically all gone.

“Hahaha, that’s it, that’s it!” Huang Xiu taunted Ardashir with his face close to his. Just now, he almost pounced on Ardashir and hugged him, but Ardashir dodged and he missed a very good opportunity. But it didn’t matter. He kept pounced. If he could kill Ardashir, Huang Xiu would not mind dying today. After all, it was not a loss for an old man like him to take away a young genius!

Ardashir's face was gloomy. His previous shot had hit Huang Xiu. All his techniques should have been enough to kill his opponent directly, but Huang Xiu climbed up as if nothing had happened, without any injury at all. Even though he knew that this was the same thing as the Immortal Defense that Persia looted from Greece, Ardashir was still a little overwhelmed when he saw this scene.

He was a boundary-breaking person, but he failed to kill a Qi-refining cultivator with a single shot. Even though the other person was at the high level of Qi-refining, he was not killed when he was hit by the barrel of his gun. This was really beyond Ardashir's expectations.

"Go!" Xiao Wei sneered and took the lead to rush towards Ardashir. He had already noticed that there was something wrong with Ardashir's left arm. If he didn't seize this flaw and launch a fierce attack, what was he waiting for? Just do it.

"Damn, it's really exciting to be able to fight with such a strong man before I die!" Seeing the Holy Death Knight Centurion on the opposite side activate the explosive self-harm talent to gain powerful combat power, Ji Jun decisively started the Sky Demon Disintegration. Let's compete in ruthlessness. I'm more ruthless than you. Come and fight with me!
"Fight, come on, fight till it hurts. Ever since I retired due to illness, I have been lying in bed for more than ten years. I need my children and grandchildren to feed me meals. I really don't want to live this kind of life. Come on, fight. We all must die today!" Zhang Xi also rushed forward with a wild laugh, but maybe something went wrong, the talent of Heavenly Demon Disintegration failed to unfold, and he could only rush forward normally.

There is no way. Although the talent of Demon Disintegration has no threshold, normally no one will open it. Therefore, for most people, it will only be opened once in a lifetime. And how to say about the first time to open such a thing? Sometimes it is inevitable to fail.

"Everyone has to die!" Li Yan said concisely. When he thought that after he had endured the time that the oath could last, he would have to return to the cold bed and lie there for a few years, and then die quietly without anyone knowing, and finally be discovered by his brother who came to visit him one day, Li Yan felt that it would be better for him to die at this time, at least someone would collect his body and his achievements would be engraved on the tombstone.

The Holy Death Knights were indeed very strong, and they were even more powerful under the leadership of Ardashir. However, after these old men regained their youth, their fighting power was not inferior to that of the Holy Death Knights, and they were even stronger. As for their experience and decisive mind, they completely crushed the Holy Death Knights.

So when it came to blocking Ardashir head-on, Ardashir had to wait until these guys had finished their outbursts before he could break through and leave. The question was what time it was now. Now was the time when Xiahou Dun, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Le Jin, Yan Xing and a group of people were surrounding Ardashir's main force and were attacking with all their strength. Every second of delay would bring Ardashir's main force one step closer to being finished.

What’s more, even the world-class elite like the Holy Death Knights suffered such a blow, so it goes without saying what kind of tragedy the cavalry under Nihawin’s command must be facing?

Dozens of veterans from the Mikawa Cavalry pretended to be generals of a thousand men, and brought a group of younger brothers to directly attack Nihawin's front line, each of them using a finishing move to break the front line.

To be honest, it is not a problem for a veteran soldier who has reached the fifth or sixth level of smelting and has a finishing move to say that he is a general of a thousand men. This kind of explosive output can indeed tear a gap in a relatively weak battle line and make a breakthrough.

But normally, these thousand-man-level generals are easily killed. After all, their strength is limited. Facing the enemy's encirclement and suppression, their resistance is obviously not as good as that of the internal energy leaving the body. But when the number of these thousand-man generals who can be used to charge the front line and break the weak points of the front line increased to dozens, Nihawin was dumbfounded. His command and dispatch was quite good, but it was of no use!

All command and dispatch have a basic requirement that your own front line must be able to withstand the opponent's attack. Only with this prerequisite can you do other tricks. If your own front line cannot withstand the opponent's attack, no matter how many tricks you have, they are all nonsense.

Even Han Xin has to abide by this basic law.

The situation that Nihawin is facing now is that dozens of generals of a thousand men are leading their troops to cut off his front line from all directions. Nihawin's military command ability is not up to the level of comprehensive resistance, so he can only allow some soldiers to counterattack on their own while the other part concentrates its strength to launch a counterattack.

To be honest, the plan was correct and the execution was also correct. When Nihawin launched a counterattack, Pound led a team of elite troops to block the counterattack head-on.

Although Pang De's own strength is slightly stronger than Nihawen, it is not so easy to defeat him. But Nihawen's personal guards could not withstand the group of veterans who surrounded him as soon as they got the chance.

As I said, there are only about 300 of these top-level veterans. If you count the elite backbones under Cao Ang's rule, there are only about 500 of them who have reached the fifth level of smelting or above.

It may not sound like a lot, but the entire core group of troops that left Kabul had only about 8,000 to 9,000 people, and Barak took more than 2,000 people away, so there were actually only 6,000 people left here.

In other words, there is one super elite among every ten soldiers, and most of these super elites are fearless and brave, and even wait for the opportunity to die heroically!
With such elite backbones like Nihawin at the head, his personal guards and main backbones were completely at a disadvantage. In the first collision with Pound, they were almost killed by Pound.

It was thanks to Nihawin that he saw the situation was not good and retreated directly. Even though he lost a lot of manpower, he at least managed to defend his front line. Otherwise, if he really launched a counterattack, if Nihawin was not careful, all his people would be gone.

Ardashir had actually realized some problems at this time, and he also speculated that the Han army should not have too many troops. Theoretically, he plus the main forces of Bakza and Nihawin were enough to block the Han army here. Even if they were in a slump now, it would be difficult for the Han army to break through and leave.

But now the Han army's performance does not seem to be breaking through their blockade, but rather it seems to be killing them all! This kind of thinking is completely beyond normal thinking.

Ardashir wanted to escape so that he could give full play to the high-mobility killing ability of the Holy Death Knights and prepare for Nihawin and Bakza to clean up the front line and face the Han army head-on. However, the fearless siege of the top backbones of the Han army made it impossible for Ardashir to escape.

In fact, Ardashir's judgment and thoughts were all correct. When Xu Huang was commanding his elite troops to charge out of the mountain road and confirmed that Ardashir had arrived very unexpectedly, he knew that he could only win if he desperately entangled Ardashir.

After all, the combined size of Ardashir, Nihawin, and the remnants of Bakza may be one or two thousand greater than the Han army commanded by Xu Huang. In this case, as long as Ardashir can demonstrate the Holy Death Knights' ability to break through the battle line, and then use Nihawin and Bakza to blockade and intercept, there is a high probability that the Han Dynasty can be blocked at the northwest exit.

As for Barak, who had not been deployed, he actually only had two choices. One was to come out from the rock wall and attack Ardashir's rear camp unexpectedly, cooperating with Xu Huang to attack from the front and back.

Not to mention whether this style of fighting can achieve a complete victory, even if it does, the time needed to capture this fighter plane is enough for the other legions under Ardashir to gather together.

After all, Ardashir had more than just the two legions in front of him. He also had other outstanding officers such as Turanshah, Gorgan, and Phares, as well as Saqqara and Ghazni who were supported by the Kushans. If his officers were successfully gathered together, the Han army would suffer a crushing defeat with its small number of people. So Xu Huang made up his mind after just a brief thought - kill all the opponents here!
That’s right, this was the judgment made by Xu Huang and the attitude he showed. He didn’t believe that Ardashir could accurately know how many people he brought with him and how many elite troops he had.

Since Ardashir didn't know this, how could Xu Huang dare to use his regular troops to suppress the enemy and make a terrifying gesture of "I'm going to crush you to death?"

To be honest, this attitude is extremely crazy, and the elite troops under Xu Huang are indeed capable of making such an attitude. After all, the density of elite troops mobilized in the battle at the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley is the highest since the Han Dynasty started the war. Among every ten people, there is an elite veteran with more than five levels of smelting!

How crazy this is! Even when they were at the Ganges River, only the legion protecting Chen Xi had reached such an exaggerated density of elite soldiers. At other times, an elite soldier of the fifth level of smelting was at least a centurion. But now, it is often the case that after the Holy Death Knight kills a Han soldier, another elite soldier of the fifth level of smelting comes with a weapon to kill the Holy Death Knight alone.

So much so that all Ardashir could see on the entire battlefield was that his Holy Death Knights, who were well-known all over the world, were rapidly dying.

Likewise, the elite troops of the Han army, the top elite troops who could even stop themselves, were also constantly dying. But when one died, another would take his place, as if there was no end.

Moreover, compared to the Holy Death Cavalry, the moves used by these elite Han troops are more powerful and have stronger combat effectiveness. From time to time, they even use some very amazing and explosive moves. Even he, who has broken through the realm, may be injured and killed if he is not careful.

With this wild fighting style, Xu Huang relied on his inferior forces to create a crushing momentum on the battlefield. Combined with the successive attacks from elite backbones such as Xiahou Dun, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Le Jin and others, Ardashir, who was restrained by a group of veterans in a fearless manner, could not help but think that the Han army was coming to kill them.

"Today I want to see how much capital you Han army have to kill us completely before my reinforcements arrive!" Ardashir shot Huang Xiu away with a shot, but this time Huang Xiu did not get up unscathed and taunt Ardashir like before. This time Huang Xiu spit out blood and flew out. Even with fifty years of accumulation, he was not invincible, but he did stop Ardashir and prevented him from getting away.

As Ardashir judged the overall situation, the battle line that was originally based on strong attack and counter-attack quickly became conservative. Ardashir began to choose to delay time and reduce his own losses, while Xu Huang continued to mobilize soldiers from the mountain road with an expressionless face, pretending to completely wipe out Ardashir.

In fact, where did so many soldiers come from? Those soldiers at the back were all acted out by Yan Xing in order to pretend that he had tens of thousands of elite troops and was going to fight to the death with Ardashir today.

Fortunately, the veterans' terrifying combat capabilities and fearless fighting style forced Ardashir to consider this aspect. Seeing Xu Huang constantly dispatching troops from the mountain pass, Ardashir, who should have launched a strong attack and forced the Han army to repel without fear of sacrifice, chose conservative defense and waited for the arrival of his main force to destroy the Han Dynasty together.

However, Ardashir did not receive any reinforcements, but instead received information that the county town where he was stationed in the rear had been captured.

"Brother up there, open the door." Kabechi called out to the gate commander on the top of the city wall. The other party couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw Kabechi in armor in the rain. However, this side was deep in the Kabul Valley, and only their own people could get here, so there could be no enemies. Naturally, they didn't have too many doubts.

"Which legion are you from?" The gate commander on the city wall asked as a routine question before opening the gate.

"I'm Kabechi, the former commander of this defense zone. Although I don't know you, I guess you must have worked with me before." Kabechi confronted the other party directly. At this time, it was useless to play other tricks, and it was unrealistic to deceive the city. After all, the other party was not blind.

"General Kabechi?" The gatekeeper was silent for a moment, and the hand that was about to lower the drawbridge paused for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"Open the city gate. We are here, and a large army has arrived. You should know what this means." Barak appeared at the foot of the city with Cao Wan. "You know Kabechi, but you should know me better. I am Barak, and this is my wife."

"Princess?" The people at the city gate had complicated expressions. The people in Beigui might not have heard of Barak before, but since Barak married Cao Wan, everyone knew him.

"Sir, open the city gate. Barak is here." An old soldier pulled the city gate order and said, everyone is not a fool. Maybe some people are willing to defend to the death, but there are definitely many who are not willing, not to mention that Barak has brought the princess with him.
