At this time, Niranjan's thinking mode had also shifted from the national level to the normal tactical level. Therefore, after hearing the news about the messengers, he re-understood what had happened before and determined that although the Han army's individual weapons had advantages
, but after it does not affect the overall situation, we will no longer pay attention to it.
"Order the Padu warriors on the side to extend their attack, not to go deep, just block the opponent and start to retreat. All other positions should also compress the defense line and start to retreat. There is no need to continue to entangle with the Han army." Nilanzhan nodded after hearing this, not panicking.
He said that he had estimated that the Han army would outflank him.
In fact, Nilanjan was mentally prepared when he came to attack. Even if the Han army did not carry out comprehensive mobilization to prevent night attacks, according to the military tactics the Yuezhi absorbed from the Han Dynasty, they knew that the Han Dynasty was
I will pay great attention to these details when fighting abroad.
However, looking at the current situation, Niranjan also knew that the Han Dynasty had not carried out comprehensive mobilization to prevent night attacks. However, this lack of mobilization showed completely similar results to mobilization, which made Niranjan naturally have thoughts about
The admiration of the Han Dynasty.
Kushan is a strange country, and the north is considered the orthodoxy of the Great Yuezhi, and they are the descendants of those who truly established the empire.
A hundred years have passed. In fact, for the Da Yuezhi, the pace of expansion has really stopped in the past ten years. The blood of the descendants of the Da Yuezhi has not yet become cold, and they still maintain their bravery and fighting spirit.
This is their glory. They have built such a huge country from weak to strong. This is something they are very proud of. Their hearts have emerged because of this feat of building a huge empire from scratch.
Expansion.
However, at the deepest level of this expansion, there is an inferiority complex, which is the inferiority complex faced by the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. After all, the Yuezhi are an oriental nation. They wandered around the periphery of the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.
cultural influence.
Although there are traces of Central Asian, Greek, Brahman and other civilizations in Kushan culture, the most profound influence on the northern part of Kushan is undoubtedly the Central Plains civilization. They themselves escaped from the East Asian monster house, and their spiritual core itself
It was brought out from there.
This is also the reason why the nobles in the northern part of Kushan are both arrogant and inferior. There is no doubt that the reason for their arrogance is that they wear millions of armors, control the Indus and Ganges river basins, and control the population, even if they do not count the Shutuos who account for more than half.
Luo, they also number over 20 million.
The same reason for their low self-esteem is that it is difficult for them to face the past, whether it was the Yuezhi king who was beheaded by the Huns and their heads were used as drinking vessels, or the decisive battle between the Han and Huns, the Han Dynasty notified the Yuezhi to take revenge, and the Yuezhi gave up, or Congling
The war, Ban Chao's anger against Kuishang, etc. are all difficult to face.
This is why when the northern Kushan nobles faced the Han Dynasty, they had both a hope that they could win and the determination to prove their true strength, and also a kind of self-confidence that they frankly admitted after being defeated by the Han Dynasty. Over the years, the hearts of the northern Kushan people
After all, the sense of taking it for granted has not been lost.
Even Vesutiva I could not get rid of the obsession with Princess Shang in her heart. The power of the Han Dynasty had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the northern Kushan nobles during those three hundred years.
.
The nobles in the northern part of Kushan are really very strong, to what extent. According to official history, after the nobles in the northern part of Kushan were defeated by Banchao, the territory of Kushan continued to expand for 91 years, until the expansion stopped in 181 AD, and then the country entered
ended a period of nearly ten years of turmoil.
It can be said that every one of the northern nobles who are still alive in their thirties, forties, and fifties is a general who has really started to expand the territory. If you really compare the results, you can see this realistically by looking at the territory.
What kind of masterpieces were created by a group of people who knew their shame and then had the courage to do so.
This is why the northern nobles can suppress the Brahmins, who number more than 40 million including livestock, with just over five million people.
This era, as well as the previous seventy years, was an era when the northern Kushan aristocracy continued to grow stronger. If the 91-year expansion had not had problems with the cultural core of the Yuezhi, it would have been impossible to completely bring them under one cultural circle.
The Yueshi are enough to build a truly powerful empire.
As for an empire that had been expanding for 91 years, civil strife broke out in the first year after it stopped expanding. After being barely suppressed and stabilized by the new emperor Vesudeva I, it fell apart in his second year. In fact, how can I put it? It was not so much a defeat in the war.
Ardashir, it would be better to say that the north couldn't stand the group of people in the south and fell directly to Ardashir.
Apart from this explanation, there is really no way to explain that the northern Kushan nobles crossed the Hazarajat Plateau, Hindu Kush Mountains, Pamir Plateau and other places to attack Parthia, and they were able to win or lose. The difficulty of entering and exiting these areas is more difficult than
Is Shu Road still in ruins?
In this era of Kushan, the northern aristocrats were in a state after the war between Japan and China, but it is undeniable that they are still formidably strong, with no shortcomings in terms of quality, vision, and experience.
If we talk about shortcomings, it is probably the one left to them by the Han Dynasty. They thought it had been eliminated, but in fact the invincible figure was still hidden.
The same is true for Niranjan. He is equally inferior and arrogant. Especially when facing the Han Dynasty, he will plan everything extremely carefully, but no matter what unimaginable way the Han Dynasty defeats him, he
They will accept it as a matter of course and find effective solutions.
This country has always recognized the power of the Han Dynasty. Maybe in the south, this is not serious, but in the stronger north, it can be said that it is quite poisoned in this regard. The northern nobles recognize the power of the Han Dynasty, but they are always there.
Thinking of challenging the Han Dynasty, even their imaginary target has always been the Han Dynasty.
Although they are not as stubborn as the Han and Huns in those days, the orthodox Da Yueshi have a similar obsession with the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Yu Jin roared and led his elite troops to rush in through the holes left by the shield guards. Then the Padu warriors formed a tight defense line in the direction of Yu Jin's charge.
Yu Jin was like a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite. After all, when he realized that the reinforcements of the Han army were coming, Nilanjan decisively converted all the blessings from his mental images into defense.
At this time, even though the defense ability of Patuo Armor is still slightly worse than that of Shield Guard, the blessing formed by the high morale of Paduo Armor soldiers and their awareness of death, combined with the heavy armor strengthening talent, brings
With such terrible defense power, I am afraid that the shield guards holding pyramid swords still have some way to go. Of course, for this reason, the attack of the Padu warriors was once again weakened.
"Retreat!" Niranjan dispatched the Paduo Army Regiment led by the Thousand Commander from the rear to push forward, and then took turns to cover, relying on strong defense to lay the groundwork, although it was not like the dog biting the hedgehog before.
, but it’s really like the dog bites the turtle.
The three elite soldiers separated by Yu Jin immediately attacked the Paduo Corps commanded by Nilanjan from three directions at the same time. However, facing the opponent's protective ability that was close to that of a city wall, Yu Jin could not push the bed crossbow over.
There is no good plan at all.
As for the shield guards, they wanted to chase, but facing such a strong army that wanted to run away, the shield guards also felt the embarrassment of other units when facing them.
Let's fight. It's obvious that a hasty attack cannot penetrate the defense. If there are not enough triangular pyramid stabbing swords, there will be no coordination. The opponent will just dodge if he says to dodge. After all, it is not so easy to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers. Don't fight.
It's frustrating to just watch the meat flying away from your mouth. Without the correction of elite talents, it's really a cheat to face such a top-level defensive unit.
"Stop!" Yu Jin ordered with a dark face. He had already chased nearly a thousand steps out of the camp. The Padu Armored Corps still hadn't exposed enough flaws for them to take advantage of. If they continued to chase, it would be ineffective.
What's more, it would be embarrassing if someone was ambushed because they were fooling around.
If Yu Jin hadn't worried about the possibility of being ambushed before, after all, the strong defense of the shield guard was enough to disgust anyone to death. As a result, this wave of opponents could also disgust him to death, and Yu Jin couldn't help but look dark.
The Paduo Armored Corps captured the shield guard and then ambushed his headquarters, so even he had to be more alert. This battle was a bit difficult to fight.
When Yu Jin stopped with a dark expression on his face and let the army retreat slowly in formation, Sun Guan walked over with a solemn expression.
After Niranjan discovered that the Han army had stopped, he immediately adjusted his formation and retreated in a more stable manner. He guarded the wounded soldiers in the rear and ordered his Padu warriors to retreat backwards.
When the soldiers spontaneously adjusted their formation, Yu Jin watched the Paduo Armored Corps gradually disappear into the darkness with a solemn expression. Looking at the shadowy figure, Yu Jin's eyes became much gloomier.
"Zhongtai, how do you feel?" Seeing Sun Guan coming over, Yu Jin adjusted his mentality and asked. As they have been fighting each other for the longest time, and this is the first time such a cheating situation has occurred, Yu Jin also feels that he needs to communicate with Sun Guan.
"The opponent's defense is not as good as ours at its limit. When it comes to attacking, with the enhancement of talents, it is stronger than ours. The two elite talents should be heavy armor talents and talents related to unloading." General Sun Guan shielded.
Standing in front of him, he said calmly, after all they had been fighting for such a long time, Sun Guan still knew what the other party had.
"Can't the shield guard take it down?" Yu Jin slightly asked irritably. Today, this time it was quite disgusting. In the past, it was mostly because they disgusted others, but this time it was the other way around.
"No, we don't have talents here to strengthen our attacks. We can only rely on our own lethality. Commonly used short spears and short halberds cannot penetrate plate armor enhanced by heavy armor talents and unknown talents. The horse-killing sword can, but
We need to let go of the big shield." Sun Guan shook his head and said. They knew the advantages of the shield guard very well. If they had any shortcomings, this was the first time they encountered them.
