Chapter 2429 Retreat

"Let go!" Rahul ordered calmly.

Following Rahul's order, the two thousand Peacock veterans who had already exceeded their physical limits almost simultaneously released their trembling fingers.

The trajectory of the two thousand arrows in the sky was obviously much messier this time. Some even floated upward at an angle close to forty degrees. God knows, they would be shot dozens of miles away, and there were many more arrows being shot out.

A collision occurred in the sky shortly afterwards.

Rahul watched the arrows disappear with a silent expression. Different from the pride he had when he saw this scene ten years ago, this time Rahul was only sad. Peacock, after six years of wasted time, it is indeed useless. A bow and arrow

If your hands are shaking when shooting an arrow, then the archer is really not far away from being useless, but fortunately, there is still hope.

"Everyone bandages the injuries and thinks carefully about your previous actions." Rahul restrained the sadness in his eyes, looked at the soldiers on the saddle of the war elephant calmly, and said in a calm tone, but he was familiar with Rahul

Everyone understands his current dissatisfaction.

For Rahul, the war with the Han Dynasty is almost meaningless. If the Peacock led by him can recover, then it is only a matter of time before the Yizhou Army is defeated by the current Yizhou Army.

Paying attention to the opponent is a very important quality, but caring too much about the opponent and neglecting to strengthen one's own strength is really putting the cart before the horse. What Rahul has been doing is not fighting against the Han army, nor is he seeking revenge. He has killed hundreds of thousands of people.

For a Brahmin, there are not as many dead bodies thrown into the Ganges in a year, so there is nothing heartbreaking.

Therefore, after Rahul regained control of the army, the first thing he thought about was not to defeat the Han army, but to strengthen himself. Of course, in this process, he would inevitably fight against the Han army. War is a training after all.

The most cruel but most effective method of the army.

[It was too weak.] Rahul glanced at the final results and stopped his blessings from gods and Buddhas. [But fortunately, at least when his arms were shaking at the end, he knew how to slightly widen the angle at the last moment and fall.

Yes, but there is still hope.]

The veterans of Peacock all sat silently on the saddle. The recruits on the side quickly took out herbs and bandages and handed them to them. Then these people used their left hands and teeth to bandage themselves expressionlessly, just like they did back then.

.

In the silent and depressing atmosphere, the old Peacock soldier, who had been sinking for six years, used his own body to clearly recall everything that happened as Rahul expected, and the bandaging movements that he thought were unfamiliar were easily completed.

But all the veterans have become extremely silent. Some things can only be realized after experiencing it personally. They are no longer the peacocks they used to be.

"It seems that you are still saved." Rahul looked at these faces that still had some impressions and suddenly laughed.

All the veterans sitting on the saddle looked at each other. Rahul's wild laughter was something they had never seen many times in their memory.

"You guys should all know me. You all followed me six years ago. Most of you have fought in the North-South War and followed me to annihilate the King of Sai. Now you should feel the difference from back then." Rahul's expression.

He said gently, showing a rare look of nostalgia in front of others.

"The peacock is not a power that you can regain once you have a war elephant. Your six years of wasted time have made it impossible for you to match this glorious title. Back then, I was named after the peacock because the peacock carries Brahma on its back.

The name is to tell you that unless Brahma comes, we have nothing to fear." Rahul calmly recounted the past.

"We have near-invincible crossbows for long-range attacks, throwing spears that can pierce plate armor at mid-range, and close-range combat is where the fearless elephant soldiers and dragon spears in hand can best display their strength. My peacock is not good at any of them.

Shortcomings." Rahul narrated with a touch of nostalgia.

"But, looking at your current performance, can you really match the reputation of suppressing all arms at any distance and on any battlefield, unless Brahma comes to the world, we have nothing to fear?" Rahul suddenly raised his voice.

"Jie," he asked in a cold voice.

All the Peacock veterans had a look of shame. Only in front of their real leader would they show such looks. Back then, they were unparalleled. They could suppress the soul of the army with long-range attacks. They could kill King Sai in mid-range battles. They could defeat the Northern King in close combat.

The elite cavalry were beaten to pieces. The gap between them back then and now is really too big.

If the Peacock back then had only one weakness: the saddle, at other times, even if they encountered a sneak attack, they could fight any opponent. The Peacock now is really just an empty shell, and is no longer the one capable of suppressing all dissatisfaction.

A super elite army.

"Starting from today, the veterans will give me ten training arrows every day, and the new recruits will train me from war horses! The driver will help me train the heavy armor talents of the elephant soldiers. Before His Majesty calls me back, the veterans will return to the battlefield for at least three rounds.

, restore the Elephant Soldier to the point where it can continue fighting after being hit by a medium-sized crossbow!" Rahul ordered angrily.

"Yes!" all the Peacock veterans roared angrily.

After all, the peacock is not just a peacock crossbow plus an elephant soldier. The gap between the two is so big that it is almost the same as the peak Xiliang cavalry and the mounted infantry. The latter may look similar to the former if it is replaced with a suit of armor, but you can only understand it after actually fighting.

The difference between the two.

The war elephant under the peacock saddle, relying on the blessing of the fearless talent and the blessing of the heavy armor talent, is strong enough to withstand the arrow rain and spear throwing of the elite army.

Even when the Peacock was at its peak, the war elephant that carried them to fight, with the blessing of those two elite talents, could even resist a small crossbow, only suffering some skin injuries, and two or three medium-sized crossbows missed.

The key point is that the war elephants can still set foot in the camp unscrupulously.

What's more, the Peacock at its peak is basically a three-dimensional combat, with long-range super bows and arrows for half suppression and half sniping. In the mid-range, it abandons bows and arrows, and uses the precision talent to use throwing guns to suppress. In close combat, it shares the power of elephants and cooperates with war elephants to fight, and uses the three-foot-long dragon gun to sweep up in close combat.

, a top-notch army in all aspects.

The combat power is almost explosive, but now, even if Rahul reunites these veterans who were once one, they are still far from their former selves.

"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 touch of sarcasm. Sometimes some real phenomena are better than lies and fabricated disguises.

It can fool people even more.

When the second wave of crossbows flew over, Yan Yan had successfully distanced himself from the Kushan Army. In order to avoid accidental damage to their own side, the veterans of the Peacock Army slightly raised their angles while trembling, so that most of them

The crossbow arrows all extended to the rear of the Han army.

The number of arrows that actually fell on the heads of the Han army was less than thirty. Although it still caused nearly a hundred casualties to the Han army, both Yan Yan and Wang Lei inexplicably noticed something else, but that was not what they were talking about at this time.

when something.

After trying hard to distance himself from Durga, Yan Yan quickly led the Han army to retreat. Although there were some speculations, there were still some things that had to make people think.

After distancing himself from Guishang, Yan Yan quickly counted the losses, and his face became extremely ugly. In the battle between the Han army and Kushan, before the wave of heavy crossbow attacks, the Han army had a great advantage, but

When the wave of arrows passed, Yan Yan's army's battle losses soared to more than 4,000 in one breath. They had been fighting for nearly half an hour, but they had not lost more than 2,000!

"Retreat overnight, we need to think carefully." Wang Lei said with a gloomy look, "A rain of arrows of that size will do too much damage to us when a large army is fighting. One arrow will

It even caused the casualties of two or three soldiers."

"In that last wave of arrows, was it Guishang who really made a mistake, or did he reach his limit, or was it just strategic fraud?" Yan Yan nodded and agreed to Wang Lei's proposal, but then Yan Yan looked at it with a solemn expression.

Wang Lei asked, "If it can really only shoot one shot, although it is indeed enough to be called a combat power comparable to the American Soul Legion, it is a bit unworthy of the name."

"It's probably reached its limit." Wang Lei gave the answer after thinking for a long time, "A legion that has reached this level will generally not make mistakes in what it is best at. As for strategic fraud, although it is possible, it is of little significance.

big."

"But is this enough to be called comparable to the American Soul Legion?" Yan Yan frowned and said, "Forget it, I will send someone to send the news to the base first. This time we admit defeat, and we must find a solution next.

If this legion can carry out such long-distance precise shooting, even if it only has one shot, it will greatly restrict our energy, and we must find it."

"On what basis does this legion achieve this? But it is very troublesome to find it. If the opponent can carry out such a long-distance attack, it can move the position very far away. Once the opponent does not enter our field of vision, we

Very passive." Wang Lei said with a solemn expression, "This thing will restrain a lot of our energy even if we don't take action."

Yan Yan nodded. He didn't know which legion the opponent was or where he was. He only knew that the opponent could carry out long-distance attacks.

In this way, any time you fight against the Kushans, you have to leave a considerable amount of strength behind, so that you can still counterattack the Kushan army even after being hit by the opponent from a distance.

"Either we take a gamble, the opponent's limit is this level, concentrate our forces for a decisive battle, withstand a wave of ultra-long-range arrows from the opponent, and then annihilate the opponent as a whole." Wang Lei said with a gloomy expression after a while, "

I estimate that if we do this, we may lose 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, but if the other party is as I guessed, we can win a big victory!"
