Chapter 3141: Stop when you see it
At this moment, Durga's face turned pale. The combat power displayed by the Han army before was quite acceptable. Even though it was far beyond Durga's estimate, it could barely defend itself with the camp. However, after the coach stepped forward, the entire legion was as if he was crazy to attack.
What followed was that the Kushan front instantly exceeded its own limit load and then collapsed and disintegrated directly. At this point, not to mention Durga, even Rahul was unable to make a comeback. Infantry formation and relying on the camp to face the cavalry was already the most correct way, but the most correct way failed, so why not talk about anything else?
After visually measuring the position of the chariot, Durga decisively gave up. If the chariot had entered the front camp now, he could still cut off the charge of the Han cavalry horizontally to provide assistance to the retreat of the headquarters, but Durga had no other choice at all.
"Order the left and right troops to retreat outside the camp, and the middle and lower-level generals and schools led their soldiers to retreat to the rainforest." Durga said with a cold expression. In fact, he was extremely clear. The consequence of the direct retreat at this time was that the Han army was covered with cavalry. As the main force of infantry, if Kushan was chased by the Han army, he might be in front of him.
However, if you don’t make such a choice, and continue to block the Han army here, it will probably not take long for the Han army to kill the Kushan soldiers until the entire army collapses, or even surrender.
Since there is only one dead end to the hard top, there is still a glimmer of life if you withdraw from the camp and retreat to the bushes and even the jungle that are difficult for cavalry to enter. After all, it can be seen that the opponent's target is himself. The Han army did not intend to pursue the other Kushan soldiers who had collapsed.
"The central camp formed a formation, with swords, shields, spearmen in front, guarding the archers and retreating in the posture of forming a formation!" Durga ordered with a cold expression. The left and right battalions retreated in a disintegrating manner, which would be no problem if the Han army had no intention of chasing them. However, the central camp collapsed, so it would be completely over.
By then, it is not only Durga that will be done, but the Han army will probably kill Kushan soldiers or gather prisoners without attractiveness.
Once the situation develops to that point, it is probably a problem whether these 50,000 people can escape 5,000. In this way, as long as the central camp is not chased and defeated, the Kushans can retain a lot of troops. Even as long as the central camp lasts long enough when retreating, the soldiers who scattered the left and right battalions will inevitably need to return to Rahul.
In this case, even if Durga is finished, the losses will not be too great. After all, the way of fighting between the two sides is doomed to make the losses of both sides impossible to break through the five-digit number. At that time, as long as the defeated army is properly gathered, Durga will still be able to accept the losses of the soldiers.
"Retreat!" Durga stared at the cavalry who was charging towards him from the left camp and ordered calmly, "Retreat into the rainforest, the performance of the cavalry there will be greatly limited."
In this era, the abandoned places on the Ganges Plain were like later generations. Shrubs half a human tall could grow in one year. The rainwater and soil were extremely suitable for plant growth, but were abandoned for a long time, or there was no place to reclaim the land from the beginning, and it was still in a rainforest environment.
Rahul ordered Durga and Kerash to garrison here, a large part of the reason was that there were roads built by the Han army in this place, and it could attack and retreat.
Even after being defeated, the Han cavalry was going to chase after the rain forest. It was not easy to pursue the place where vines were covered with natural disadvantages to the cavalry. It can be said that as long as you retreat there, Durga could end up smoothly. After that, as long as you conquer the defeated army, you could roughly gather most of the Kushan soldiers in the current situation.
At that time, as long as you regroup, even if there is a certain loss, at least it will not hurt your muscles.
However, when it happened next, Durga almost spit out an old blood again.
Zhao Yun chased Durga's headquarters and chased him five or six miles away from the camp. He stopped directly, and then ordered the capture of prisoners on the spot, without any intention of continuing to pursue.
Then Durga could only watch from a distance in the rain forest as a team of cavalry drove a group of Kushan soldiers. With the power of the cavalry, he turned most of the soldiers into prisoners, so that Zhao Yun's army, who killed less than 5,000 people throughout the whole process, captured Kushan elite soldiers who were almost as many as the cavalry led by his own family.
"General, why don't you chase after me?" Gao Xiang saw the Kushan Legion not far away, and looked at Zhao Yun's gesture of raising his hand to curb the pursuit, and involuntarily asked.
"Don't chase the poor enemy. Besides, if you chase after him, can you really kill the three Kushan soldiers of the legion in the next few miles?" Zhao Yun pointed to the green rain forest and said.
Gao Xiang was stunned and nodded. It was true that the basic quality of the Kushan soldiers was not bad, and their legion commanders were also qualified. In this case, it was indeed difficult to force the opponent at this distance. If they had to do it, the Han army would probably have to pay a lot of losses.
"Catch up the Kushan soldiers." Zhao Yun decisively gave up chasing Durga. Compared to eating the three legions, he might as well go back and pick up the soldiers of the seven legions that collapsed. The former might collapse, while the latter was the real soft persimmon.
Gao Xiang and Zhang Zhu both nodded when they heard this, and then they scattered to gather the defeated troops, leaving only one army to garrison on the spot, staring at the three legions retreating in the Kushan Central Camp.
Suddenly, Durga fell into a wax. The strategy he had originally thought of was very good, but he lost all the meaning in the face of Zhao Yun, a general who stopped when he saw it.
Now most of the Han army's legions have been to collect the Kushan soldiers. Because the Kushan soldiers have no organizational power and the dominant power shown by the Han army before, the Kushan soldiers will not have any resistance at all. Even if there are a large number of backbones, in the face of the current situation, they will choose to surrender. This is simply a force majeure factor.
In other words, the Han army is likely to do nothing and can gather Kushan prisoners who are equivalent to their strength or even exceed their strength.
Due to the previous performance of the Kushan soldiers, this part of the troops was collected by the Han army, which was a kind of weakening to the Kushans in any case. Even if it was placed on Rahul, it was a weakening of more than one-tenth of it.
Durga, who was retreating at this moment, staring at the elite Han army that were as far as they had before, only 5,000 people, but these 5,000 people completely separated the captives of Kushan from Durga's headquarters.
Durga was determined to counterattack, but he could not defeat the 5,000 people in the middle of the road in a very short time. Therefore, once he took action, he would not only not be able to save the prisoners captured by Zhao Yun's troops, but also trap himself in.
"Retreat!" Durga stared at the Han army standing in the middle of the road for a few seconds, weighed his strength, and gritted his teeth and ordered.
"Tsk, I thought that after most of them were dispersed, Kushan would have the courage to rush up." Zhao Yun curled his lips and said, forcibly chasing Durga could not be killed, but if Durga rushed up, Zhao Yun was still sure that he could turn these Kushan soldiers who had withdrawn from the formation into prison. However, he didn't expect that the guy on the opposite side would rush over without blood.
However, even after Durga left, Zhao Yun still led the soldiers across the middle of the road and was cautious. As for the others, of course, they were captured.
"General, our army has caught a powerful person with internal energy leaving the body." Zhang Jie said excitedly. He didn't expect that there would be such a big fish.
"Bring it here." Zhao Yun said calmly, "How many prisoners have been captured?"
"There are about 25,000 yuan. Without statistics, we gave up after many guys ran to the bushes." He said with a smile. It's okay to catch prisoners, it's all for nothing.
"Will the chief accountant remember their respective merits and 25,000 prisoners?" Zhao Yun was in a good mood, but he thought of the soldiers under his command who had too deep talent to activate the elite. After the war ended, he collapsed spontaneously because his physical fitness was not enough to support this kind of power. He couldn't help but sigh. No matter how good his talent was, he could not withstand such things.
"Yes, our army lost less than 3,000, and more than 500 of them were killed after the war, and their physical collapse caused by death." Zhang Jiexin was very sad. He also used this elite talent before. Fortunately, his physical fitness was good. After being lifted, he was not fatal.
"How many gaps are there for our emergency doctor?" Zhao Yun asked casually.
Large legions have military physicians and emergency personnel, and the proportion is about 1,000 to 1. Of course, this refers to the proportion when going to the war, which is not so high in the rear.
Zhao Yun's army originally had five military doctors. Of course, what he really wanted to say was actually five real doctors, plus twenty assistants...
However, when such a war is fought, there will inevitably be a big gap in emergency doctors. When there were no emergency doctors in the past, everyone stood up. They either died or passed away. Now they have become, doctors can save people!
After all, people in this era have very good physical fitness. As long as they are not killed on the spot and are not infected later, they can recover from their own health. Therefore, if there is a doctor's treatment, it is more realistic to save lives. Therefore, after the war, the emergency treatment area will be crowded with people.
"There are still quite a gap, but there is no way to do this. We can't bring so many doctors." Zhang said helplessly. After all, this is on the front line. If there are permanent fortifications, a group of doctors can be seconded from the rear.
Those who follow the front line are all men, and those who are protected in the rear are all women. In this regard, the Han Dynasty has always been like this. After all, disinfection, bandage, and suture are all these. As long as women can resist nausea and panic about the wound, they are born to do better than men.
