This kind of battle damage was due to the height advantage of the war elephants. The Han army's upward firing would inevitably be blocked, otherwise the Peacock Army would suffer even more losses.
What's more important is that a triangular pyramid-shaped armor-piercing arrow, even if it misses the vital point, is enough to cause Kushan and other elite soldiers to lose their combat effectiveness.
"Use a big bow on the flank!" Rahul roared after taking an arrow and commanded the remaining more than a thousand veterans to fire heavy crossbow bolts at the flank with high accuracy. The current situation must be withdrawn.
The extent of the Han army's hard work was completely beyond imagination.
Xu Shu commanded Zhou Cang's warriors to finally smash the defenses on the Kushan flanks, and when they were about to drive straight in and join Guan Yu to attack the Kushan Central Peacock Army, more than 1,300 heavy crossbows were fired.
He shot and killed Zhou Cang.
The nearly unavoidable super attack in the chaos of the battle directly shot the warriors led by Zhou Cang through the air. Except for a few dozen or so veterans, the peacock's spear was bounced away by ricochet, and his own arm was broken and fell.
In addition to being unable to stand up, Zhou Cang's army was almost completely destroyed by this blow.
Even Zhou Cang's own ribs had a huge wound.
"No need to be precise, use spears to block the barrage and let the flanks retreat!" Rahul ordered coldly. With this method of retreating by blocking the barrage, many of his own people might be killed by the Peacock Army, but
Now we can only withdraw forcefully.
For a moment, the soldiers of the Peacock Legion quickly untied the bundle of thirty sticks on the saddle, raised their spears and flew towards the flank mark with all their strength. The powerful attack abruptly interrupted the Han army's offensive, even with swords and shields.
I can hold one or two shots with my hands, but under such a density of spears being thrown with a density of almost arrows, I don't have the level of a shield guard, so I really don't dare to try.
After the Han army's flank was forcibly suppressed by a wave of Peacock's bursts, Banerjee and others instantly understood Rahul's idea and took the time to retreat.
At the same time, on the other side of the Zhongying battlefield, Guan Yu's soldiers, led by Guan Yu, who was hit by an arrow in his right arm again, charged manically towards the Kshatriyas in front.
They completely ignored the soldiers around them who were slowly retreating. Their purpose was to kill the Kshatriya warriors. It didn't matter whether the other soldiers ran away or not. They were just going to stare at these people and kill them!
After forcibly repelling the Han army's flank attack with spear throwing, Banerjee, Kailash and others directly led the Kushan soldiers to retreat quickly, while the Peacock Legion still stayed in place. In the current situation, Rahul could only choose
I will take the throne myself!
Kushan's situation has become so bad that if Rahul had not personally led the Peacock Army to the rear, it would have been a question whether they could retreat as safely as Rahul estimated. Therefore, Rahul can only do it himself now.
The queen maintains the situation.
Since you have chosen to dock your tail to survive, you must not allow the other party to target you after docking your tail to cannibalize and strengthen yourself.
If the result of cutting off the tail to survive is to let the opponent eat away at it step by step, then Rahul would rather fight to the death with the Han army while he still has the strength. Therefore, in order to maintain the overall situation in this battle, Rahul directly chooses
After breaking it off in person.
The Peacock Legion's long-range is indeed extremely sharp. Even if a third of the veterans were severely injured by a wave of crossbows from Guan Yu's personal guards, the spear throws of the new recruits and remaining veterans still gave the Han army a huge blow.
pressure.
At this distance, even the elites of Guan Yu's army could not ignore the various spears and flying weapons thrown by the Peacock Legion at them.
In addition, although Guan Yu's previous wave destroyed nearly half of the Peacock Veterans, the Peacock Veterans are more important for precise shooting during long-range attacks.
At the current distance, after Rahul was so fierce that most of the Kushan soldiers retreated, and no accidental injuries were tabooed, the recruits relied on a single-shot big bow, and a close-range shot from a heavy crossbow was still enough to kill them.
Anyone except Guan Yu will shoot it.
Now Rahul is in this kind of madness. The peacock's big bow is drawn by the new recruits. Without tabooing accidental injuries, he shoots all the opponents from the front and side like crazy.
Regardless of whether it is half open or fully open, what is needed is the kind of intimidation. Faced with this almost crazy lethality that brings huge and shocking death, even the elites of the Han army feel a sense of intimidation from the bottom of their hearts.
of coldness.
Compared to the Kshatriya Warrior Legion, which has obvious flaws, the fighting power that Peacock unleashed after letting go of his own hands and not even taking care of his own people was more in line with the Han Dynasty's definition of top elites!
Withstanding the last wave of madness from the Peacock Army, Guan Yu's army surrounded all the Kshatriya warriors who had not yet retreated. Seeing this, Rahul turned around and left. There was no way to save him. This was the limit.
As for the Kushan soldiers, they had already started to retreat when the Peacock Legion went crazy.
At that time, the remnants of the Kshatriya warrior legion, who were bitten by Guan Yu, still had the idea of escape, but Guan Yu was really keeping a close eye on them, and the Peacock legion only conducted battlefield interception and did not provide personal rescue.
In the end, the seven or eight hundred people who practiced Qi became Gang. Except for a few who successfully retreated at the last moment, the others were all surrounded by Guan Yu's main formation.
Seeing this, Xu Shu directly commanded two and a half legions to chase the retreating Rahul.
However, after less than an hour, Xu Shu withdrew with a gloomy expression, suffering heavy losses.
Of course, the Peacock Legion also suffered considerable losses under Xu Shu's pursuit, but the Peacock Legion, which had brought thirty pots of arrows and shot them in close combat with a ten-stone bow, achieved a record that drove Xu Shu crazy.
Looking at Guan Yu's headquarters, which suffered heavy losses, with no less than two thousand casualties, Guan Yu, who was covered in blood, was filled with deep murderous intent.
In this battle, Guan Yu himself killed nearly 150 Qi Lian Chenggang sporadically, while his subordinates probably killed more than 900. He looked covered in blood and was almost too tired to stand up after the battle.
Among the soldiers, Guan Yu looked gloomy.
This is the most difficult regiment that Guan Yu has ever fought against. It was even harder than the time when he fought against the Xiongnu guards in Northern Xinjiang. Looking at the corpses here, Guan Yu clearly knew what a terrible thing he had done.
Zhan chopped down Qi Lian Chenggang, who was in his early 1,000s!
Even if there are such and such problems with the psychological quality of these people, to be precise, if there were not such and such problems, the more than 500 Qi Lian Chenggang who were surrounded in the end, trapped beasts still fighting, his battle losses
They may all grow exponentially, and they may even rush out.
"General, our army has given up the pursuit!" Xu Shu withdrew his pursuing soldiers and looked at Guan Yu who had wiped out the last five hundred Kshatriya warriors and said.
"Don't worry about it." Guan Yu said coldly. It was natural that Xu Shu's pursuit failed. The wave of combat power that broke out before the Peacock Legion retreated made even Guan Yu feel his scalp numb!
More than three thousand attacks equivalent to heavy crossbows were carried out at a distance of fifty steps. If Peacock's recruits did not have the talent for accuracy, there would be no way to balance such arrows and achieve this kind of melee combat at a negative angle to the maximum long distance.
Ways to hurt.
Otherwise, that wave of explosions is enough to wipe out a legion whose average defense is no higher than that of the Shield Guards. Even a single Shield Guard legion at this distance will have a chance of being completely wiped out.
This is the Peacock Legion's truly unique move. No other legion can achieve close combat with a heavy crossbow. At this moment, it truly shows its near-explosive power.
Therefore, after such an attack broke out, even with Guan Yu's dominance, the morale of the Han army could not help but drop. Under this situation, Guan Yu basically had no hope for Xu Shu to pursue Rahul.
Even though this almost super-godlike attack method will definitely cause huge losses, a monster legion that can carry out such an attack will never be easily taken down just because of a small amount of losses.
Just like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although they have fallen from the altar, they are still invincible to most legions.
The same goes for Lu Bu. It is said that he is still in a critical condition medically, but it is still easy to fight against the ferocious beast with internal energy. When the level rises to a certain high level, even if he is disabled or disabled, it is not easy.
tidied up.
This is the same as the so-called academic masters and academic masters who failed in the exam. Those who failed at their level are the same concept as ordinary people who did well in the exam. In the same way, the First Auxiliary Legion said that Trajan's Legion was abolished.
.
Even the legions that have been defeated at their level are still too strong for most legions to deal with head-on.
Peacock also belongs to the kind of strong army that even if it is not in the best condition, it cannot be said to be able to win, especially since Guan Yu's own formation has to surround and annihilate the Kshatriya warriors, so other legions can only do their best.
If Guan Yu leads the army, he might be able to force the Peacock Legion to stay, but the problem is that all Guan Yu's thoughts are on the Kshatriya warriors who are surrounded by him, and it is impossible to lead the army.
Peacock is strong, but in order to destroy Peacock, he gave up more than 3,000 Kushan soldiers who were still surrounded by about 600 Kshatriya warriors at that time. Guan Yu was not mentally ill, so he could only let Guan Ping and others chase and kill him.
Needless to say, the result is that Guan Yu's talent can still reach within a range of ten miles. Beyond this range, the effect of Guan Yu's legion talent plummets. By about fifteen miles, it has basically dropped to one-third of its original value, and by twenty
When I entered it, it was gone.
How can Xu Shu pursue this? Guan Yu's legion talent is simply a guarantee of strength for Guan Yu's legion, which has been merged with elite talents. Beyond the scope of Guan Yu's legion's talent, Guan Yu's legion's combat effectiveness is gone, and it falls directly back to a single talent.
.
After this situation occurred, how could Xu Shu complete the pursuit? The reason he was not directly counterattacked was because Xu Shu reacted quickly and quickly narrowed the pursuit range. Otherwise, it might be a matter of two sides who would kill the other!
