Gavin's armored cavalry does have an almost crushing advantage over the group of Han troops in the current camp due to its special attributes. However, with the switching and division of the eight-door rotation, the armored cavalry trapped in the vehicle suspension formation is no longer available.
He no longer has the overwhelming momentum he had before.
It can be said that if there is not always a damn imperial archer causing trouble in the rear, constantly looking for counterattacks in the Han army camp, Guan Yu camp will now gather the main elite to face the armored cavalry and two guns.
The Shield Legion relies on the advantage of compressing the opponent, and it won't take long for Guan Yu's camp to completely suppress it.
However, as Gavin said before, the Guards are the most complete and coordinated elites. Each one of them is a top elite. But when they are together, they learn from each other's strengths and complement each other, even if they are more powerful than them.
A strong army will also fall under their hands.
There is only one truly all-powerful legion in this world, and that is the Fourteenth Roman Legion. The problem is that the upper limit of the size of this legion makes it difficult for this legion to show their domineering side on the battlefield.
As for any other legion, its essence is that there is a targeted situation, and once it is targeted, it is destined to have shortcomings.
In fact, the Praetorian Guards of various countries also have this kind of shortcomings. They just refer to the overall shape of the war, as well as the positioning and configuration of the Praetorian Guards, and rely on their strong points to offset their weaknesses, so that the Praetorian Guards can truly show the heritage that only an empire has.
, that is, when there are enough Imperial Guards, the shortcomings will disappear directly, and any aspect will be comparable to the decisive battle arms.
What's more, on the current battlefield, except for Guan Yu's headquarters, which can be said to be truly stronger than the Kushan Forbidden Army, the other legions are actually weaker than the Kushan Forbidden Army.
For a legion like the Guards Archers, which literally uses its will to destroy its opponents, being weak makes a huge difference.
Even if the archers of the Imperial Guard do not have the ability to use will arrows for a long time at a high rate of fire, as long as necessary, a wave of bursts is enough to open a way for the comrades rushing ahead, or a wave of bursts can directly destroy the Han army.
The head of the countercharge was directly knocked out. This kind of terrifying lethality was difficult for even Guan Yu's headquarters to withstand.
As for the remaining three legions of the Imperial Guard, two are spear and shield soldiers, and the remaining one is a Kushan-specific scimitar assaulter. Needless to say, the former is a classic city wall unit with its shortcomings well known.
As for the latter, its obvious shortcoming is its defense.
However, they cooperated in pairs and alternated cover. When the gun and shield soldiers were able to cover their comrades, the assault scimitar soldiers who let go and fought truly showed their terrifying lethality.
Relying on these two legions, they tightly suppressed the outer perimeter and defended the rear path of the Guards Cavalry. The outermost ones were the Guards Archers and another spear and shield soldier guarding the archers on one side.
Generally speaking, Kushan has a considerable advantage as a whole, but except for the Kushan Guard Cavalry, which is really possible to break the deadlock, the other positions are basically in a stalemate in the flesh and blood mill, and the battle lines of the two sides are intertwined.
, the slopes of soil kept changing hands back and forth.
The only place where it is possible to break the deadlock is that the most elite generals from both sides have gathered at this time. At this time, the boundary-breaking Rahula was held by four inner Qi separated bodies of the Han army, and the most powerful Imperial Guard Cavalry was held by
The remaining headquarters of Guan Ping held them back.
In fact, by now, both the Han army and the Kushans know that if the Chexuan array is crushed, the Kushans will basically have won the victory and can penetrate the Han army camp. If the stalemate continues, every additional moment of stalemate will
There will be more people separated by the Eight Heavenly Locks.
This strange military formation is constantly dividing, swallowing up the soldiers under Guishuang's command.
Even though the Kushan Imperial Guard Cavalry is indeed strong, none of the soldiers who were separated have returned. Gavin knows how bad the current situation is.
Basra, who was now commanding from the rear, gave him even worse news. Guan Yu's army was suspected of being a military soul army and had already driven back Eknath. Gavin had a feeling, is Ekenart a pig? Eight
Thousands of people, even if the opponent is the Army Soul Legion, they won't be able to withstand it in such a short time. Those are eight thousand elite cavalry!
Those are eight thousand elites carefully selected from this country in the true sense. The quality of each of them is no worse than that of the guards. As a result, they can't even hold back a military soul army. They don't want to kill the opponent, at least they will
The other side holds on, and as long as they buy some more time, they can break through the car formation and penetrate the camp, and then they can join forces to encircle and suppress the legion.
When the time comes, with the strength of the Imperial Guard, if we force ourselves to defeat a military spirit army without auxiliary soldiers, the battle losses will definitely not be too high. Although the military spirit army is strong, what is strong is its momentum, its military spirit, and its actions.
The front is the assault ability that destroys the front and breaks the formation.
If a single military spirit army is really strong, it's not like it can't be surrounded and killed!
Speaking of which, if it was really the Army Soul Legion, Eknath wouldn't be in such a mess. Unfortunately, Guan Yu was promoted on the spot. This behavior seriously dampened the morale of the Royal Guards, so much so that they doubted whether they were good enough, and then
The possibility of promotion was completely lost.
"Sahel, lead the spear and shield troops to come up. Barras and I will kill the legion behind us first!" Gavin glanced at Guan Yu's legion, which was estimated to have 3,000 troops, and made a decisive move to the commander of the spear and shield troops.
Sahel shouted, and then left on the spot under the cover of the gun and shield soldiers.
After all, in the current situation, if a cavalry-type military soul army is allowed to attack the imperial guard archers who are suppressing the rear, they will completely lose their current advantage. It is better to turn around and kill the Guan Yu headquarters on the opposite side first, and then concentrate all their strength to attack the Han Dynasty.
Military camp.
"Gavin, you..." Zhu Helai, who was also on the front line, was stunned when he heard this sentence. He knew very well that the current performance of the Imperial Guards was more due to the crushing advantage of the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards' cavalry had a crushing advantage.
Once the guard cavalry retreated to face another legion of the Han army, Zhu Helai immediately felt the pressure doubled.
"Don't worry, Oswin and Deepak will be here soon. They are not stupid. When they find that the infantry is a drag, they will lead the remaining cavalry to charge over first." After Gavin finished speaking, he directly led the armored cavalry to fight back.
.
Thanks to the rich experience of the Kushan Imperial Guards, the Assault Scimitar Soldiers and Gun Shield Soldiers had previously held the Imperial Guard Cavalry's lifeline to the rear. Now that the Imperial Guard Cavalry wanted to return to the army, they easily rushed over.
"Armor-piercing arrows, shoot quickly!" Baras roared and ordered. At this time, he could no longer take into account the consumption of arrows. It is said that this is also the fatal weakness of all top rapid-fire archers except Xiandeng.
Cloud Qi Arrow, no matter how many arrows are prepared, it is never enough.
Zhongyuan has also pointed out the rate of fire of this specification. Needless to say, the lethality is not a joke. The problem is that the consumption is enough to make people collapse, and the number of arrows to be prepared is also mind-numbing, even if there is no need to log in first.
In addition, all rapid-fire archers are not durable, but shooting out nearly a hundred arrows for one person in ten seconds is still a fatal level.
Therefore, when this kind of archers fight, they are not equipped with one pot of arrows, but ten pots of arrows. This is also an important reason why this group of people ride horses to load ten pots of arrows, but even ten pots of arrows are used by these people to risk their lives.
There is not enough time to consume.
It can be said that as long as the cloud arrows cannot be fired, all rapid-fire archers will be limited by their baggage and will not be able to unleash all their combat power.
Currently, Zhou Yu's personal guards also have such a problem, and how to point out the Cloud Qi Arrow? This thing also does not belong to the talent tree commonly used by the Han Dynasty. Even the 14th Roman Legion does not have this weird talent ability.
Similarly, the Kushan Imperial Guards are now crucified by such a talent. They fought too hard before, with less than half of the arrows left, and Guan Yu's performance was too strong.
Under such circumstances, they also violently attacked the defense line of the gun and shield soldiers.
Speaking of cavalry, it is really not a good choice to attack the elite infantry defense line in formation, especially this kind of elite spear and shield soldiers. At first glance, it is an elite unit prepared to defend against cavalry. However, the violent crushing of Guan Yu's headquarters really made him feel at this moment.
Opponents felt terrified.
Sometimes the most correct tactics do not represent the best tactics, and this is the case with Guan Yu now. The tactics he chose are the ones that are most suitable for the current situation and the overall situation, but they are not the most correct tactics.
When the cavalry faces this kind of defensive front, the most appropriate tactic is to bypass it, then find its flaws to attack, and rely on its own mobility to suppress the infantry.
Guan Yu's approach was to directly crush him. Regardless of whether his opponent was a match or not, I just ran him over this time. Tactics and so on were not as important as momentum.
Guan Yu's main formation, with less than 3,000 men, hit the spear and shield defense line like a huge wave this time. Even if the spear and shield formation defense line naturally has great restraint against cavalry, the violence of Guan Yu's legion
The crushing still produced great results.
The attack method beyond the opponent's expectations and the violent outburst almost shattered the entire defense line of gun and shield soldiers guarding the archers. After that, even Barras' desperate reinforcements could not change the direction of the defense line.
The fact of collapse.
Seeing that the defense line of spear and shield soldiers guarding him was about to collapse, and knowing that once the cavalry approached, his four thousand elite archers might have the only way to be slaughtered by the opponent, Barras immediately became heartbroken and gave up on the defense line of the rear army.
To consolidate, directly order high-speed shooting.
The guys without four legs can run fast. If you don't retreat, the shaky defense line of gun and shield soldiers will not be able to hold on for long. When the opponent breaks through the gun and shield soldiers and gets close to the archer line, it will really be a wave of attack.
