The mountain roads here in Beigui usually have bends of more than ten to tens of meters. The so-called eighteen bends of the mountain road may be an exaggeration in other places, but it is true here.
Therefore, even if there were only a few hundred meters left, Bakza fought and retreated all the way. Relying on the terrain and various simple defense facilities that had been prepared long ago, he was still quite sure to delay the retreat for enough time with low damage.
.
Of course, fighting based on this combat idea is just to delay time. From the moment the battle line is cut by cavalry and the battlefield is gradually and continuously cut, whether Bakza is advancing or retreating, he fails because his strength is not enough to suppress the opponent.
It's just a matter of time.
"Where are the reserves! Why haven't they arrived yet!" When Bakza turned a corner again and relied on the terrain to counterattack, he found that the number of his own troops had been reduced to a few hundred, thanks to the fact that the width of the battlefield was only more than 20
meters, if it were any wider, there would be no hope of blocking the Han army.
"Chief Aker may still need some time. It rained too much today." The guards on the side tried their best to put in a good word for Aker, but in fact, even the guards felt that their captain's actions were too much.
Slow down, it actually takes so long to organize a thousand-man submachine gun formation. You must know that this is war, and people will die every minute and every second!
Bakza cursed in his heart when he heard this, but Akel was the commander he promoted and had always performed well. He could be considered a confidant. It was impossible for him to cheat on this kind of thing. After thinking about it, it was really the personal guard who said it.
There was too much rain and it took time for the team to organize.
So Bakza could only lead the elite backbone to support and prevent the entire defense line from collapsing, while asking the investigators around him, "How long will it take for the general to come?"
"It will take half an hour at the fastest. This is because there are floods nearby. The general has not returned directly to Kabul City before." The scout captain said expressionlessly. The camp in the mountain road was attacked by the Han army before. Buck
When Zha received the news, the scout captain sent intelligence personnel to inform Aldashir as quickly as possible, but the speed of transmitting the news would take half an hour no matter how fast it was.
After all, no matter what happens, intelligence personnel need to pass on the information first. After Aldashir receives the news and purges the army, he rushes over. And from passing the news to purging the army, even if Aldashir does not delay at all, at least he will
It takes half an hour.
Of course, this was the judgment on the side of the scout captain. In fact, when the rainfall in Kabul increased sharply and cold fog rose, Tavasdes realized that he and others were being plotted, and Aldashir had already brought the Holy Death Rider.
He and Nihavin rushed towards this side directly.
So it didn't take even half an hour. In fact, the intelligence personnel sent by the scout captain had already merged with Ardashir and rushed towards the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley.
"Do we need to support it for at least half an hour?" Bakza looked at the chaotic situation in front of him. If he continues to fight and retreat like before, although the loss will be very small, it is impossible to support it for half an hour, and once
After exiting this mountain terrain and entering the Kabul Valley, it is even less possible to delay time, but if we are to fight head-on...
Bakza's face turned livid, and he greeted his personal guards, "Go and notify Akel and ask him to bring someone over for me. There must be no further delay!"
The personal guards saw Bakza with a ferocious expression, and then looked at the declining battle front in front. They did not dare to say anything more, and took the two of them directly to run back. After all, everyone is not a fool. Bakza's previous inquiry
He didn't avoid them either, so they knew they had to hold on for half an hour.
The terrain in Kabul is very special. The only way to enter from Kandahar is from the northwest. Once you get out, it will be the mountain valley. When the Han army can spread out, Buck can't beat it in the mountain road.
Zha, how to face the completely spread Han army?
You must know that Kabul's previous layout on this mountain road was all based on the idea of dragging Han Dynasties to death in the mountain road. But who would have thought that small and medium-sized camps were specially arranged on this road to block attacks, which was what Guangzhou was doing at the beginning.
The camp that Yuan and others attacked unexpectedly changed hands just like that.
You must know that the reason why the camp was arranged only about one kilometer from the trailhead was to discover and block opponents on the mountain trail, and to facilitate rear support.
Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about the former. There is a camp across the mountain road, and various open and hidden sentries are arranged more than ten miles in front of the camp to block it. It can be said that if it were not for the heavy rain, Cao Ang and his party would not be able to touch this place anyway, and even if they touch this place
, facing this camp, we can only choose to attack by force, there is no sneak attack to capture it.
After all, this is a closed camp built by hundreds of people. Even a heaven-defying existence like Zhang Huang can instantly kill existences whose willpower is lower than a certain level. Regardless of the more than 20 Holy Death Knight soldiers who are the backbone of the camp,
Whether it is blocking or passing the message is enough.
As for the attack by top generals, the suppression of supermodel Yun Qi is no joke. As long as a battalion of six hundred to eight hundred soldiers is fully equipped and still under the protection of Yun Qi, it is not something that a special operations team can do.
An existence that can be easily taken down.
And since there is no way to take it down easily, naturally there are intelligence personnel who can ensure that after encountering the attack, the message will be passed back quickly. Just like before when Guang Yuan broke into the camp, several soldiers who saw Guang Yuan turned around and retreated immediately, acting as
It's this kind of role.
This is why the Han army has done its best and defeated this small camp with the fastest speed and the highest explosion without being discovered by the opponent in front of the camp. However, Bakza was able to defeat the camp just after being attacked.
After taking it, he led his troops into the corridor and began to block the Han army.
To put it simply, as long as the front camp is attacked, Bakza, who is blocking the pass, will directly lead the thousand-man team of the defensive team from the pass camp or enter the mountain road, or enter the cliff and attack the mountain road at the same time.
The enemy launched an attack.
However, due to the heavy rain in recent days, many soldiers of the wheel defense were hiding in the cliffs. This was also the time when Basuo and others had just broken through the camp and rushed forward. They had not even taken a few steps, and they had not even encountered anyone yet.
The thousand-man team led by Bakza first encountered the cause of short spears thrown from the cliff.
Because people are lazy, no matter if it rains or rains heavily, even if Aldashir issued an order to hold on to the wheel defense and never slack off, the veterans are more accustomed to running into the cliff. After all, there is no way to hide inside the cliff.
It will rain! And it will be somewhat warm.
Therefore, normally speaking, after the camp set up by Shandao was attacked, after receiving the news, Bakza should have led the thousand-man team that was on defense at the time and his 300-man personal guard to attack as soon as possible, and then
Cooperate with the 600 to 800 people from the camp in the road to block the attack in the mountain road.
Although it sounds like there are not many people, in fact this place is only 20 meters wide, and the mountain road is winding back and forth, so it is impossible to see the human hands. You can pretend that there are many people and horses, but it is just dragging to death anyway.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the enemy is discovered in the camp on the mountain road, it is basically impossible for the enemy to penetrate the camp. After all, the team behind Bakza will continue to follow up, and this kind of 20-meter-wide terrain is used for refueling tactics. As long as the follow-up
Even the Han army has no good way to keep up.
However, the situation faced by Bakza this time was too complicated. First, the camp in the middle of the road was annihilated too quickly. When Bakza rushed in, the Han army was also charging into the mountain road.
Originally, Ardashir and Bakza chose the mountain road camp here instead of deeper into the mountain road because the mountain road camp was at this location and the support from the trailhead could come in time.
Moreover, at this location of the mountain camp, there would be no such thing as a heavy blow to one's own side. The elite backbone of the camp defended desperately, and then ordered some elites to retreat to deliver intelligence. As a result, because the road was too far, the personnel delivering the intelligence were chased by the enemy's elite.
They attacked and killed them, resulting in the sacrifice of a group of people, but in the end, not even a message was sent back.
Theoretically, the meaning of setting up this mountain camp is this. It is best to detect the enemy with open and hidden sentries. If they cannot be found, they are touched next to the camp. After being attacked, they can at least notify the rear immediately and order reinforcements to come for support. Relying on the camp's
Due to the defense and the configuration of the mountain wall, hundreds of people delayed for one to two quarters of an hour before our own reinforcements arrived.
This can directly demoralize the attacking side.
As a result, there were a series of accidents this time. First, the Daozhong camp did not detect the opponent in advance, and the second Daozhong camp did not wait until reinforcements arrived. The last Han army's attack was too strong, and the thousand-man team brought in by Bakza did not survive in such a narrow terrain.
Withstand the Han army.
Or to put it more directly, the total of Bakza's bodyguards plus the soldiers on duty at the pass will exceed a thousand.
There was no way, the only soldiers who could be mobilized instantly were the thousand-man squadron on duty and Bakza's 300-man personal guard. Less than half of the thousand-man squadron on duty huddled into the cliff to take shelter from the rain.
One thing to say, you can't say that people are not working hard, haven't you seen the powerful spears thrown down from the cliff before? These are the spears thrown by the soldiers on the cliff with all their strength.
The throwing spear that can pierce Xu Yuan's shield can't be said to be useless!
It can be said that one ring collapsed, and the other ring collapsed, but if we really want to say it, we can only say that this downpour of rain did end Ardashir's destiny, but that's right, the clouds would have covered the sky and the sun.
For example, now, trying his best to delay time, Bakza, who has retreated more than 100 meters close to the crossing, still cannot wait for the reinforcements led by his confidants to arrive.
There is no way, what can be done on a sunny day may not be possible in a heavy rainstorm, not to mention this kind of heavy rain with cold mist after being activated by the special Xuanxiang, this kind of cold rain in the mountains, can it really be relied on?
Hypothermia can kill people.
Originally, in accordance with Aldashir's military regulations, after Bakza led the rotating thousand-man team to attack, the other people in the camp, led by lieutenants or thousand-man generals, quickly tidied up and entered the mountain road in formation to attack the enemy.
suppress.
What can I say about this idea? It is indeed a good idea. If it can be implemented in theory, now that Bakza has retreated, our own spears can suppress a wave of counterattacks. However, due to the cold rain, for half an hour, the spear phalanx has not been organized.
stand up.
It's not all because Aker and the soldiers were useless, but because the cold fog condensed at the crossing, just like the fog at the entrance and exit of the mountain road. Affected by the heavy rain and cooling, the fog became five times heavier. The heavy rain plus the cold fog made it impossible to see even if you were out of sight.
It's as close as five fingers, but it's true that you can't tell the difference between humans and animals ten meters away.
Compared with the general ability to change the sky in the Han Dynasty, there are too few people under Ardashir who can change the sky. Even if they inherit part of the legacy of Parthia, they can barely keep up with other empires at a relatively advanced level.
pace, but there is a clear gap between it and the big forces in such details.
As a result, the reinforcements that were supposed to rush up when Bakza retreated to a place two to three hundred meters from the crossing still did not rush to provide assistance until Bakza retreated to a place less than 100 meters from the crossing.
At this time, Bakza had already realized that something had happened. To put it bluntly, the white mist escaping inward from the crossing had even obscured his eyes. In this case, could Bakza still not know what was going on at his camp at the crossing?
?
Even if they weren't attacked by surprise, they probably wouldn't be able to organize themselves now.
Well, Bakza did not consider the issue of sneak attack, because in this kind of terrain, logically, such a situation is impossible.
To put it bluntly, we can only place our hope on Ardashir now. As for him, even if he hangs on here, there is no point. Without reinforcements, there is only a valley road less than a hundred meters away.
Even though Bakza had ordered his fortune tellers to use secret techniques to change the sky, blow away the fog, and allow the reinforcements at the crossing to rush in as soon as possible, there was less than a hundred meters left, and the Han army just paved a road with blood.
It won't take much time.
"Come on, the crossing is ahead. All the soldiers will rush with me!" Huang Xiu had already rushed to the front instead of Zhang Ping, riding the divine horse Jueying borrowed from Cao Ang. He focused on defense, accumulated defense, and released the attack.
Drive to the extreme, completely ignoring all attacks, and just crush it.
Relying on the astonishing power of the inner-qi-separated divine horse like Jueying, as well as the terrifying defensive power provided by the God-killing Spear that can withstand two shots, it completely ignored the opponent's attacks and buried its head in crushing it.
One thing to say, it is true that tanks cannot be used in terrains that require turning back and forth. Otherwise, tanks are definitely the best way to break through the front line.
In fact, this is also the key reason why the cavalry can only be used to divide the battle line here, but not for decisive victory. These back and forth turns actually have a great impact on the cavalry's maneuverability and breakthrough, and the cavalry is something like
, except for the Xiliang cavalry, which does not need speed at all, any other cavalry will lose most of its combat effectiveness without speed.
This is also the reason why Huang Xiu brought the backbone of the Xiliang cavalry to crush them forcefully. There was no way, the strength of the combined force of man and horse was still greater than that of the infantry. But in this situation, it is no longer possible to move forward by conventional methods.
Bakza was also ruthless. After realizing that he could no longer retreat, he chose to forcibly block the high-kill backbone of the Han army, and then relied on a dense formation to block other positions.
Again, the top elites are very powerful, but the top elites are not invincible. Zhang Huang alone can quickly kill a hundred-man immortal guards, but a hundred-man immortal guards under Supermodel Yunqi can
Chasing Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong can beat Zhang Huang to death, this is a matter of compatibility.
Without this group of top-level lethal elites, the immortal guards under Bakza were really pushing the front line, competing step by step with the elites of the Han army.
However, this entanglement did not last long, and was broken by Huang Xiu and the Xiliang cavalry. They formed a dense formation to fight for defense, squeezing each other, right? Come on, let me show you what the strongest defense in the world is.
Huang Xiu personally took the lead, and the elite defense talent reserves accumulated by the fifth lieutenant of the Southern Army for fifty years fully blossomed at this moment. The only defense thing that the Xiliang cavalry is proud of is even more brilliant, and the attack
When this defensive force, which is said to be able to block everything absolutely, is released, it is even more burning with flames.
Disposable? As long as I am willing to charge it, it can be burned indefinitely. I will crush this fifty-year-old golden body!
At this moment, the old guys were not surprised, but Zhang Ping was dumbfounded. He could use his super defense and various talent structures to throw spears, but Zhang Ping would definitely accept this explosive thing with etching.
Can't live.
To be precise, even veterans such as Sun Er and Zhang Yong, who are immortals and gods, have to dodge when they encounter them. Their inner energy leaves the body, and even non-top world-breakers dare not make a direct attack. However, Huang Xiu sneered and used his own weapons.
He flicked away the etched short spear, then let it explode five steps away from him, and then continued to crush it despite the explosion, even the horse hair was not burned by the flames!
"Follow Brother Huang!" A group of people rushed up chasing the road that Huang Xiu had crushed.
Buckza can command the immortal guards, and he has naturally seen it before. Huang Xiu's performance is extremely incredible, but as long as he has talent, there are shortcomings. And what will be the cost or shortcomings of Huang Xiu's exaggerated performance? Buckza
Zha can guess it with just a little thought.
After all, the Persian Empire has not faced this kind of thing before. Sparta's Wall of Sighs is also this type of thing. In theory, if it continues to maintain a certain intensity of attacks, it will be broken sooner or later.
But the problem now is that there is no way to maintain a certain intensity of attacks for a long time to continuously attack Huang Xiu. After all, the Han army is not a vegetarian. A group of people protect Huang Xiu in front, and they can attack both sides with all their strength.
Destroying Bakza's battle front.
"Can Uncle Huang still withstand it?" Ba Chao said to Huang Xiu.
"I can still last for a long time. This is the finishing move I created. I use spiritual defense as an intermediary and use defense accumulation to charge the attack. Don't worry, no one can penetrate my defense today." Huang Xiu suddenly became enlightened as he looked at what was about to happen.
Yamaguchi laughed.
I lay down and fell into very complicated thoughts. This was probably the most confusing time in my life.
