Durga knew Rahul very well, so after he failed to capture a wave of Ji Ling assassinations and observed that there was no chance anymore, he completely gave up the idea of going deep into the Han army's main formation and fighting with the Han army. But this is not because Durga has given up. It can only be said that he is waiting for the opportunity that Rahul creates for him.
The biggest difference between the Peacock Legion and other legions is that the Peacock Legion can provide support across maps, and this type of support is highly unexpected and sudden. Of course, the particularity of this support is enough in many cases. Break the original deadlock.
Therefore, the Peacock Legion is a special legion in the entire Kushan Empire, because sometimes the victory or defeat of a war really depends on a wave of unexpected reinforcements, and the specialness of the Peacock Legion is that the legion may arrive No, but the necessary support will definitely be available.
Therefore, after Durga determined that Ji Ling was on alert and had no advantage to take advantage of, he decisively led the Kshatriya warrior legion to fight and retreat. Relying on the Kshatriya warrior legion, it still has the ability to be no less powerful than ordinary cavalry in complex terrain. The mobility pulled Ji Ling to escape left and right.
During this process, there were few battles between the Kshatriya Army and the Ji Ling Army led by Durga.
Although Ji Ling himself was resentful of Kuishang's sneak attack on his internal energy, he wanted to have a fight with the opponent, and he had the urge to kill several of the opponent's people to vent his anger.
But in fact, as a general who focuses on the overall situation, it is not worth it to fight to the death with the Kshatriya warrior army for his own personal honor and disgrace, and to do so under such a situation where he does not have an absolute advantage.
As a general, you are not responsible for your own life. Thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers actually entrust their fate to the general. As the saying goes, a general's achievements will lead to the death of thousands of bones. It is not only the enemy who will fall. And my own people.
Therefore, preserving one's own strength in war is also a very important strategy, and it is also a responsible attitude towards the soldiers who entrust their fate to their own hands.
Although Ji Ling has followed Yuan Shu all year round, he has not been affected by Yuan Shu's passionate and indifferent way of thinking. He is still a very good general.
Naturally, he knew how to suppress his inner resentment and surrounded them without killing them. He planned to squeeze Durga and the others directly into the snakes and insects in the back camp. However, Durga had been beaten once when he attacked the camp before and would not go back to life or death. He ran after the camp, and slickly circled around the rear camp without fighting the Han army head-on.
Until a certain moment when he was about to leave, when Durga was pulling the Han army to retreat again, she saw the crossbow arrows flying from the horizon, and immediately stopped moving, and really started the counterattack.
At that moment, nearly two thousand heavy arrows hit the front of the Kshatriya warriors, causing chaos among the Han army auxiliary troops facing Durga. More than a thousand soldiers fell to the ground and died. The Dili Warrior Legion was completely empty.
Immediately, Durga did not dare to hesitate at all, and burst out with all his momentum and led the Kshatriya warrior army to rush out from the position where the heavy bows and arrows were smashed. Then, without looking back, he led the Kshatriya warrior army towards the center. The battalion pounces, the waiting time has arrived, victory or defeat depends on this!
The moment the spear-like arrows knocked over the flanking auxiliary Ji Ling who blocked the auxiliary soldiers of the Kshatriya Warrior Legion, Durga, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, raised her sword and roared, taking the lead from the auxiliary who was knocked over by the arrow rain. The soldiers rushed over and killed him.
"Everyone rush, don't hold back, run as fast as you can for me!" Durga burst into the main formation of the Han army's auxiliary troops, and the front was not yet fallen, but was already in chaos due to the peacock arrow rain. The auxiliary soldiers of the Han army killed him with one sword.
At the same time, all the soldiers of the Kshatriya Warrior Legion rushed out like a torrent towards the chaotic flanking auxiliaries.
Ji Ling roared and desperately mobilized his elite troops to block it. However, facing the Kshatriya warrior army, which was one step ahead of the Han army in both reaction and preparation, the personal guards led by Ji Ling did not even touch When they reach the tail of the Kshatriya warrior army, the enemy will disappear.
Looking at the enemy troops running away in the dust, Ji Ling had basically determined the next situation at that moment. The Yizhou Army in the middle camp was hopeless.
When Yan Yan left, Ji Ling was left here to contain the Kshatriya warrior army and prevent it from attacking the Yizhou army's retreat.
After all, the mobility and lethality of this top-level legion in the current complex terrain are more troublesome than those legions that require large-scale dispatch and command.
Coupled with its huge lethality, Yan Yan had to allocate part of his energy to deal with this legion.
After all, this legion with only more than 2,000 people really has the lethality to suppress the military spirit legion if the situation goes well. And any military spirit legion, even without auxiliary soldiers, can be enough to fight very hard as long as it seizes the opportunity. Incredible achievement.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Yan Yan was cautious and even left Ji Ling's headquarters and two reorganized auxiliary legions here when he left.
The original intention was to be just in case, but he took all precautions, but in the end he fell into Rahul's plan. What he feared most was that when he went back to fight, he would be cut off by the Kshatriya warrior army. In the end, he still couldn't. Avoiding a wave of long-range attacks by Rahul, he successfully released the Kshatriya warrior army from the cage.
The most feared thing in large legion operations is front and rear flanking attacks. Once the retreat is cut off and the situation of front and rear flanking attacks is determined, the larger the legion's combat range, the easier it is to cause chaos.
Because he knew these reasons, Yan Yan did not hesitate to leave the most elite Ji Ling Corps of the Han army here to keep a lookout. As long as the retreat was not a problem, Yan Yan could fight freely, even if the opponent had elephant soldiers and peacocks as the vanguard, at most He could only suppress Yan Yan with a sudden outburst.
But if you really want to defeat Yan Yan, you can only rely on a momentary burst to suppress him. As long as he can't be crushed, and with the support of the resilience of Yan Yan's own legion talent, he is afraid that in the end it will be another result that drags out the finale that Yan Yan wants.
Just like the previous battle in the middle camp, Rahul first captured Zhang Ren in front of all the Han soldiers, and then concentrated all the superior forces to attack Yan Yan, raising his offensive to the limit, but even if In this way, Yan Yan's command did not collapse.
It can be said that as long as another big killer is not released, Rahul will inevitably be dragged to death by Yan Yan in the end with Rahul's offensive reaching the limit.
However, just now, the flanking auxiliary troops that Ji Ling used to block the Kshatriya warrior army were nailed through most of the defense line, and Durga launched a timely counterattack. Before Ji Ling could complete the blockade, , kill him out.
It's over, it's over. If the previous wave of arrow rain had been taken over by Ji Ling's headquarters, nearly two thousand soldiers would have fallen. However, given the quality of Ji Ling's elite headquarters, they were still able to survive such a heavy blow. Under the command of Ji Ling, he could barely block the Kshatriya warrior army. Unfortunately, Rahul's goal from the very beginning was not to kill one or two thousand elite Han troops.
Obviously, at the moment when the Kshatriyas rushed out, Ji Ling had completely realized what kind of trick Kushan was playing. Unfortunately, war is only meaningful if it is predicted in advance. Even if he understands everything afterwards, it is just a A clearhead.
But it doesn’t matter whether you are a sensible ghost or a confused ghost, as long as you are a dead ghost, it is meaningless.
Looking at the Kshatriya warrior army leaving in the dust, Ji Ling was already thinking about how to stop the loss. This battle was over and there was no way to win. He could only try his best to stop the loss.
However, at this moment Liu Xun suddenly asked, "General, is the lord still in the middle camp?"
After hearing this, Ji Ling, who was still thinking about how to stop the loss, went blank. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood. Ji Ling's eyes swept across Liu Xun and others with murderous intent.
"Liu Xun, Zhang Xun asked the auxiliary troops to withdraw from the camp and prepare for the final interception. All the elites of the headquarters will follow me to attack the central camp! You don't need to worry about what happens behind you. As long as I, Ji Ling, have a mouthful of food, I will not be short. Forget your share of your wife, children, and mother!" The veins on Ji Ling's forehead had become prominent, and he shouted at all the soldiers with a certain kind of madness.
"We have followed your lord for as little as seven years, eight years, or as long as twelve or three years. During this period, has your lord ever let us down?" Ji Ling glanced at Liu, who had already withdrawn from the camp with some generals and auxiliary troops. Xun and Zhang Xun turned to look at the soldiers behind them and said.
"No!" All the soldiers reported back.
Yuzhou did not experience the plague in this life. When Yuan Shu was still a prince, his population was nearly over ten million. He could support his soldiers without severe exploitation, so he naturally did not bring Yuzhou to the point where the people were in dire straits.
In addition, Yuan Shu, a secondary patient, basically regarded himself as a sage of the pastoral side. He did not bother to exploit the lower class people, nor did he despise deducting the salary, food and clothing of the soldiers. His approach was simple and direct, as much as he could get. , one size fits all!
Naturally, the soldiers under his command still agreed with Yuan Shu's rule in the past ten years. After all, these people did not have the opportunity to really come into contact with Yuan Shu himself. What they saw more was the changes in reality.
Yuan Shu's management was very rough. He would collect as much tax as the food, clothing and troops needed in the second year. As for whether the tax was high or low for the people at the bottom, Yuan Shu didn't care at all.
Similarly, whether the tax is enough or not for the second year is not Yuan Shu's business. If there is more, he can keep it. Then it belongs to his own potential. If it is less, it belongs to his own potential. If it's missing, someone must be corrupt, just cut it off!
Anyway, we don’t have enough money, so we can cut off officials to make up for this. Yuan Shu used it skillfully, and coupled with Yuan Shu’s rough management, there are actually not many corrupt officials. If we cut off a wave of officials, we can still make a lot of money. Under such management, It actually ran well under Yuan Shu's rule.
