Chapter 2429 Retreat
"Let me!" Rahul ordered calmly.
With Rahul's order, two thousand peacock veterans who had already surpassed their physical limits almost at the same time let go of their trembling fingers.
The trajectory of the two thousand arrows in the sky this time was obviously much messy, some even floated at an angle of nearly forty degrees. God knew that it would shoot dozens of miles away, and many more arrows collided in the sky shortly after they were shot out.
Rahul watched the arrows disappear in a silent expression. Unlike the pride of seeing this scene ten years ago, this time Rahul was only sad, peacock, after six years of wasted, it was indeed ruined. An archer's hands were trembling when he was shooting an archer. Then the archer was not far away from being ruined, but fortunately, there was still a rescue.
"Everyone bandaged his injuries and thought about his previous actions." Rahul curled the sadness in his eyes, looked at the soldiers on the war elephant saddle with a calm expression, and said in a tone without fluctuation, but those who are familiar with Rahul understand his current dissatisfaction.
For Rahul, the war with the Han Dynasty was almost meaningless. If the peacock he led could recover, it would be only a matter of time before the current Yizhou army collapsed.
Paying attention to the opponent is a very important quality, but being too concerned about the opponent and neglecting the strengthening of one's own strength is really putting the cart before the horse. What Rahul has been doing is not to fight against the Han army or to take revenge. After more than 100,000 Shudras died, there were not many dead bodies thrown into the Ganges River in a year, so what's wrong with heartache?
Therefore, after Rahul regained the legion, the first thing he thought about was not the so-called defeat of the Han army, but strengthening himself. Of course, in this process, he could not help but fight with the Han army. After all, war is the most cruel but most effective means to hone the army.
[There are too many weaknesses.] Rahul glanced at the final result and stopped his own blessings from the gods and Buddhas. [But fortunately, at least when his arms trembled, he knew that he had slightly pulled the angle at the last moment and fell down, but there was still a rescue.]
All the Peacock's veterans sat in silence on the saddle. The recruits on the side quickly took out herbs and bandages and handed them to them. Then the people bandaged themselves with their left hands and teeth expressionlessly, just as they did back then.
In the silent and depressing atmosphere, the old peacock who had been in sank for six years clearly recalled everything about the past with his body as Rahul had guessed. The bandage movement that he originally thought was unfamiliar was easily completed.
But all the veterans became extremely silent. Some things can only be awakened after experiencing them once. They are no longer the peacocks they used to be.
"It seems that you are still saved." Rahul suddenly laughed at these faces that were still somewhat impressed.
All the veterans sitting in the saddle looked at each other, and Rahul's crazy laughter was not many times in their impression.
"You all should know me, and they all followed me six years ago. Most of them fought a battle between the north and the south, and followed me to annihilate King Se. Now you should feel the gap with that year." Rahul said with a gentle expression, and the rare expression of remembrance was revealed in front of others.
"Peacock is not the power you can have again with the war elephant. Your six years of wasted time have made you unable to match the title of glory. Back then, I was named after the peacock because the peacock carries Brahma. I tell you in this name that unless it is Brahma coming, we are fearless." Rahul said calmly that the past.
"We have almost invincible crossbow arrows from a distance, and have a spear that can be nailed through plate armor in the middle distance. In close combat, the fearless elephant soldier and the dragon gun in our hands are the best distance. My peacock has no shortcomings in any of them." Rahul said with a faint memory.
"But look at your current performance, can you really match the suppression of all troops at any distance or any battlefield, unless Brahma comes to the world, can we be fearless?" Rahul's voice suddenly increased, and his voice asked in a cold voice.
All the peacock veterans showed a look of shame. Only in front of their real leaders would they show such a look. They were extremely powerful back then, with long attacks suppressing military spirits, and mid-range confrontation could kill King Sei, and melee battles to defeat the elite cavalry in the north. The gap between them, now is really too big.
If the Peacocks were the only weakness of saddles, at other times, even if they were attacked, they could fight any opponent. The Peacocks are now just empty shells, and they are no longer the super elite legion that can suppress all dissatisfaction.
"From today on, the veteran will give me ten training arrows every day, and the new recruit will give me training from war horses! The driver will train the elephant soldier's heavy armor talent. Before His Majesty summons me back, the veteran will restore to the battlefield at least three shots, and the elephant soldier will restore me to the level where he can continue to fight with a medium-sized crossbow!" Rahul roared and ordered.
"Yes!" All the peacock veterans roared angrily.
After all, peacock is not a simple peacock crossbow arrow and elephant soldier. The gap between the two is so big that it is almost the peak Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Horseman Infantry. The latter may look very similar to the former when changing to armor, but only when fighting can you understand the difference between the two.
The war elephant under the peacock saddle, with the blessing of fearless talent and the blessing of heavy armor, was enough to fight fiercely against the rain of arrows and spears of the elite army.
Even at the peak of the peacocks, the battle elephants carrying them to fight, relying on the blessing of the two elite talents, even small crossbows can resist, and only suffer some skin injuries. Two or three medium crossbows do not hit the vital points, and the battle elephants can still step on the camp unscrupulously.
What's more, the Peacock at its peak was three-dimensional combat, with long-range super bows and arrows half-suppressed and half-sniper attacks. The medium-range gave up bows and arrows and used precision talents to suppress them. The melee shared the power of elephants to cooperate with battle elephants. They used the three-zhang dragon spear to sweep in melee, and were the top legion in all directions.
The combat power is almost exploded, but now, even if Rahul once again combines these veterans who were once one, they are far from their former self.
"I don't know how the Han army would feel when they saw the second missed attack." Rahul looked back at Yan Yan's direction with a faint mockery. Sometimes some real phenomena can fool people more than lies and fabricated disguise.
When the second wave of crossbow arrows flew over, Yan Yan had successfully distanced himself from the Kushan Legion. In order to avoid accidental injury, the veterans of the Peacock Legion raised the angle slightly when they trembled, so that most of the crossbow arrows extended to the rear of the Han army.
There were less than thirty arrows that actually landed on the head of the Han army. Although they still caused nearly 100 casualties to the Han army, Yan Yan and Wang Lei inexplicably noticed something else, but this time was not the time to talk about these things.
After trying hard to get a distance from Durga, Yan Yan quickly led the Han army to retreat. Although there were some speculations, there were still some things that had to be thought about.
After setting a distance with Kushan, Yan Yan quickly counted the losses and his face became extremely ugly. Before the battle between the Han army and the Kushan, the Han army had a great advantage, but when the wave of arrow rain passed, the battle loss of Yan Yan's army soared to more than 4,000 in one breath. After nearly half an hour before, no loss of 2,000!
"Retreat overnight, we need to think carefully." Wang Lei said with a gloomy face. "That type of arrow rain will cause too much damage to us when the army is fighting. One arrow even causes two or three soldiers to suffer casualties."
"The last wave of arrow rain was Kushan's real mistake, or was it to the limit, or was it directly a strategic fraud?" Yan Yan nodded and agreed to Wang Lei's proposal, but then Yan Yan looked at Wang Lei with a serious expression and asked, "If you can only shoot one shot, although it is indeed enough to be called a combat power comparable to the Military Soul Legion, it is a bit unworthy of its name."
"It's probably the limit." Wang Lei thought for a long time and gave an answer, "Leagues that have reached this level generally do not make mistakes where they are best at. As for strategic fraud, although it is possible, it doesn't make much sense."
"But is this enough to be called a military soul legion comparable to that of the military spirit?" Yan Yan frowned and said, "Forget it, I will send someone to send the news to the base first. This time we admit defeat. Next, we must find a way to solve this legion. Even if there is only one shot, it will greatly restrain our energy and we must find it."
"What is this legion based on doing this? But it's very troublesome to find it. If the opponent can carry out such a long-distance attack, it can pull the position very far. Once the opponent does not enter our field of vision, we are very passive." Wang Lei said with a serious expression, "Even if this thing doesn't take action, it will restrain a lot of our energy."
Yan Yan nodded, not knowing which legion the other party was or where the other party was. He only knew that the other party could conduct a long-distance attack.
In this way, when fighting against Kushan, you have to leave a considerable amount of strength, and after being attacked by the opponent at a long-range basis, you can still fight back against the Kushan army.
Chapter completed!
