Seriously speaking, the overall combat effectiveness of Cao Jun's army is not much different from that of Bei Gui. It is even better than the quality of Bei Gui's soldiers. The problem is that everyone under Cao Jun's command is armored, even ordinary light infantry. Has a light plate armor.
This is very uncomfortable. Coupled with the fact that there are more shield guards than all other arms combined, even if the actual combat effectiveness of the two sides is about the same, there is still a big gap in fault tolerance. Tactically, everyone should keep an eye on their opponents and avoid making big mistakes, so that they can keep Cao Cao at bay.
But if there is a problem in one link, the current chain reaction will occur. Many legions will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness at all. The Han army will press the hammer into the soil like an upper Sichuan against a middle Sisi. Is Falgon strong? Strong to the point of violence.
In terms of the destructive power of bows and arrows at the current visual distance, Falgon said that he was second, and almost no one dared to take the first place. He had rapid fire, burst, and high damage, but he was targeted by Danyang and almost died.
In a real naked field battle without cover, Danyang would definitely lose, but now one-sixth of the people in Danyang are carrying the shields of the Tiger Guards and wearing the armors of the Shield Guards, and are head-to-head with Falgon. Even if Falgon has exploded in combat effectiveness, Also consider the thickness of the plate armor.
As a result, it was no surprise that he lost in the shooting session. Falgon's link could not collapse, so when Barras saw that something was wrong, he jumped out and used witness arrows and will penetration on Danyang on a large scale, but this was not the case. Is it equivalent to Baras being exposed?
The Han army did not only have one archer. Previously, Cao Zhang was pressed on the head of a bull by Balas, and Danyang freed him. Later, Danyang kept staring at Balas, and then he was restrained by another archer with dual talents, but Now one ring collapses, the other rings collapse.
Barras' small body was hit by a wave of small crossbows and died suddenly on the spot.
After these two links went wrong, the dual-talented archers originally commanded by Aldashir tried their best to suppress Danyang and the crossbow shield guard, but it was of no use. Danyang didn't want to fight back before to reduce losses, but now...
Not to mention anything else, Cao Zhang struck with arrows and fired at the opponent with a small crossbow machine, directly destroying the opponent.
Guishuang's long-range strikes collapsed. The thin-skinned and high-attack-speed legions of the Han army immediately attacked Beigui's various top legions. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's top archers were unlikely to recover in a short time, they suppressed and broke through the enemy's formation as soon as possible.
Faced with this situation, Kapil has quickly entered a state of mental imbalance, so that Oswin on the right had to give up suppressing the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and led Gujarat to stabilize the overall front first. The result was Lu Bu was also released.
"Gujarat, recover the spearmen and protect the imperial scepter." Oswin quickly issued an order and the front line must be reduced.
Oswin was almost mad at Ma Chao at this time. Before, he could not say that he had an overall advantage in the battle line. At least except for the shield guard position, every part had the ability to suppress. As a result, after Ma Chao intervened in the battle, he directly eliminated the strongest point. Let the situation be reversed directly.
At the same time, Ardashir tried to save the situation, cutting across the Han army's Lejin and Cao Hong fronts exposed by Hua Xiong's departure, cutting off the flanking command lines horizontally, and forcing Hua Xiong to retreat.
However, before Aldashir took action, he saw a legion commander of Cao's army who was younger than him, leading a large number of middle-aged and elderly cavalry to rush towards him.
Aldashir felt very angry. He fought with Ma Chao and he knew the reason for the defeat. He could win if the fight continued, but winning would be meaningless. But now, would any cat or dog dare to provoke him? He really thought that the Holy Death Cavalry was a vegetarian.
Taking a deep breath, Aldashir suppressed the depression in his heart, and did not attack the tiger and leopard knights led by Cao Zhen. Instead, he unleashed his own power to the limit and condensed an imaginary warrior out of thin air. From the speed of riding the thrust and every move, Aldashir knew that the opponent was the reorganized Praetorian Guards, but so what? Let’s get past the fantasy soldiers first.
After releasing two thousand fantasy soldiers, Aldashir drove his horses to break out at extreme speed and launched an attack directly in the direction of Cao Hong and Le Jin.
The moment Aldashir rushed out, the Holy Death Knight soldiers under his command also rushed over, the miracle special effects were at full strength, and their momentum was like a furnace, burning all the enemies around them.
The two thousand fantasy soldiers separated from the other side rushed directly in the direction of Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen felt his heart sink just as soon as he entered the suppressed range of the two thousand fantasy soldiers.
[Is this the kind of monster Ma Mengqi is facing? No, what he faced was a monster that could really fight. I am afraid that the opponent I faced was only half the Holy Death Cavalry. ] Cao Zhen took a deep breath and didn't dare to think too much, because the Holy Death Cavalry had already thrust over.
However, in fact, Aldashir did not send a real Holy Death Cavalry to face Cao Zhen at all. They were all fantasy soldiers, but even if they were fantasy soldiers, the combat effectiveness of these things was not inferior to that of the Imperial Guards.
Of course, Aldashir did not use this tactic to supplement his own combat power when facing Ma Chao, because it was useless. Ma Chao's combat power after blooming the eagle emblem reached the level of three talents, and it had reached the critical level when he went berserk. When a fantasy warrior encounters such an opponent, not only will it not deplete the opponent's momentum, but it will also make the opponent become more and more crazy as they kill.
But if he switched to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Aldashir only glanced at it before turning around to attack other opponents. It was true that he was very strong, but he was just very strong. In a real field battle, without restraint, he was better than before. The three opponents in a string of three are not much stronger.
Maybe the mastery of talent and the level of refinement are deeper, but it is no joke that he is too old to be afraid of the young, so Aldashir didn't even look at it, and went straight to Cao Hong and Le Jin, and all the miracle special effects were turned on. This is not the time to worry about physical strength.
The side of the Han army suffered a heavy blow in an instant. Salman was quickly released, and the scimitar assaulter went straight to Cao Zhang's crossbow-wielding shield guard.
Other legions are afraid of this thing, but Salman, who has already entered the inside of the battle line, is not afraid. When using crossbows on the inside of the battle line, the Han army will inevitably have to consider the problem of accidental damage. Without the crossbows, Cao Zhang's shield guards will not be able to deal with Salman. Raising a top-level legion is nothing.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Zhen divided into two fronts and rushed towards the Holy Death Cavalry. Therefore, they immediately discovered something was wrong when Tian Zhong fought. The strength was wrong, the feel was wrong, it was fake!
After making this judgment, these veterans immediately forcibly moved their organs, traded injuries for lives on a large scale, and quickly killed more than a dozen fantasy soldiers separated by the Holy Death Cavalry.
Immediately, all members of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry realized that these opponents were all fake, and there was no anger at all, because even the separated fantasy soldiers could fight with them. This terrifying strength made them realize that even if If he charged in on his own, he would probably have a five-to-one record. Regardless of Ma Chao's smooth play, that was real hard power.
There were no other transfer orders. It was naturally divided into two fronts, one to block it from the front, and the other to use its strength to cut the Holy Death Cavalry's rear line. At this moment, the new tactics were naturally implemented, and the soldiers who had already fallen into the front line were blocked. The fantasy soldiers of the Holy Death Cavalry were separated from the soldiers on the rear line of the Holy Death Cavalry and bypassed the battle line to support Cao Hong.
On the contrary, Cao Zhen had not yet realized the fact that there was no Holy Death Cavalry in the battle line at this time, and they were all fantasy soldiers.
The veterans who blocked the front quickly changed their tactics and began to fight with defensive parry and survival as the core. Fighting to kill a Miracle Soldier was worth it even if they were killed. But if they were killed by a single thought of the Miracle Soldier, it would be so difficult for them. It's an absolute disgrace.
Fortunately, the weapons of fantasy warriors are ultimately made with the essence of heaven and earth, and there is still a clear gap between them and real steel weapons. As long as they are careful not to be hit directly on the head or neck, these veterans are still confident. Save your life.
Aldashir directly crushed Cao Hong's battle line at an astonishing speed beyond imagination. The Holy Death Cavalry was at full strength. For Cao Hong's army, except for Cao Hong's core song, it was impossible for other soldiers to break through. Defense, and the almost exceptional attack of the Holy Death Cavalry ensured that every blow could directly kill ordinary soldiers under Cao Hong's command.
If Le Jin hadn't seen that the situation was not good, he directly led his shield guard headquarters to attack. Relying on the strengthened faith and will brought by his legion talent, and the steel-like defense of the shield guards, Cao Hong might have been saved. Cao Hong was most likely killed by Ardashir on the spot.
But even so, the collapse of the side appeared in front of Cao Cao at a visible speed. In addition, Salman entered the inside line and relied on the terrifying cutting and breakthrough ability of the scimitar assaulter to forcefully kill the crossbow machine led by Cao Zhang. In front of the shield guard, the Han army on the side was in turmoil.
As a last resort, Cao Cao moved his camp directly, and Cao Ren led the heavy infantry line to intervene in the central battlefield, buying Hua Xiong time to harvest the imperial scepter led by Kapil.
"It's so fast." After Aldashir completely repelled Cao Hong and Le Jin, he prepared to further cut off the Han army's command chain. However, the tiger and leopard cavalry who had avoided the front of the fantasy soldiers had already charged from behind. Come over.
Although he does not understand the overall situation as well as Cao Cao, as a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, he actually knows that Ardashir cannot be allowed to continue. Once it deepens further, the Han army's shield front may fall out of control.
Of course, if a large-scale shield guard loses control, it will not be strangled by the Kushan elite. But without the suppression effect, the Kushan can free up a large number of manpower to surround and suppress the backbone of the Han army. You must know that the Kushan relied on the imperial scepter to rise up. Most of the elite are dealing with the shield guards.
