Aldashir had already shrunk the front line and started to delay. The original idea was to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and then push Xu Huang and others out in one go. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, but the city behind has fallen.
The news has been delivered.
If it was just a city, it could be said that it was because of an accident that the Han army succeeded in defrauding the city. But now the seals of the two county towns have been sent to Ardashir. From Ardashir's perspective, it is natural to understand that these two
The set letters are all genuine.
But precisely because it is true, it makes people even more desperate.
Just thinking about how many Han soldiers crossed the blockade of Kabul's northwest mountain pass and entered Kabul, and how many people were taking advantage of the heavy rain to capture the city and territory in their core area, Ardashir inevitably gave birth to despair.
"Bakza, command the rear of the Immortal Guards and withdraw." Ardashir, who was extremely silent in the cold rain, just thought for a few seconds and made up his mind. It is impossible to continue fighting and block the west pass of Kabul.
The Han army is very important, but when a large group of Han troops has entered the Kabul Valley, it is meaningless to continue to block it here.
Even Aldashir can understand that the Han army sent these two seals to increase pressure on him, which also shows that the strength of the Han army is not that strong, but this is a conspiracy, and the other party can capture the two counties.
, it is impossible for him to bet on whether the other party can capture Kabul County.
Considering that Gorgan, Fares and others received the news, they would definitely rescue the northwest mountain pass of Kabul and the captured county. In case of a mistake, the Han army led the main force to attack the county of Kabul and captured it.
Then everything Ardashir has done over the years has been in vain.
Therefore, for Ardashir, the current situation is meaningless when the size of the Han army in the rear cannot be determined. It is meaningless to continue fighting Xu Huang here. Even if he annihilates Xu Huang, as long as he does not solve the problem of the army that penetrated deep into the Kabul Valley.
The Han army inside is meaningless.
From a strategic point of view, it is no longer advisable to continue to fight Xu Huang, hoping that both sides will suffer losses, and that the Han army may attack from both front and back. This step was wrong, and the size of the Han army in the Kabul Valley was misjudged.
, Ardashir is likely to be directly defeated.
Return here, meet up with Gorgan and others, and then deal with it. Considering that Kabul has lost its biggest protection, which is the northwest mountain road, it will be difficult for Aldashir to take the absolute initiative as before, and he can do it at any time.
The Cao family can be suppressed and the entire battle situation is completely reversed.
In other words, the former has a real chance of being killed on the spot, while the latter is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, but it won't kill you suddenly, and there may be hope of a comeback in the future.
Even though this hope is quite slim, given the current situation, Ardashir can only choose the latter.
"General!" After Nihavin received the news, he looked at Ardashir with a look of disbelief. Although this guy had all kinds of problems, he had really learned the art of war and strategy. In his opinion,
How can anyone retreat at this time? It is true that the opponent is risking their lives, but at worst, both sides will suffer losses. Now that they retreat, what are they here for?
"There's a fire in the rear." Ardashir handed both sets of seals to Nihaven, who threw the seals aside without even looking at them.
"So what if there is a fire in the rear? In this situation, even if the Han army enters with 20,000 people, what kind of results can they achieve in siege of Kabul? It is raining heavily now, and the Han army is also a human being. Their food, wages and supplies
what can be supported
Time is limited, and their mobility in the heavy rain is limited. They can conquer two, but so what with three!" Nihaven shouted loudly at Ardashir, "We are basically here.
It’s a resting veteran, so what if it’s a letter from home?”
Nihaven's idea was very cruel, which was to let the Han army in the rear attack the city and seize the territory. They blocked the place and pushed Xu Huang out. After blocking the northwest entrance, they gathered all the generals under Ardashir and gave them to him.
The Han army entering the Kabul Valley came to catch turtles in an urn!
"Cao's strength is very strong. I have seen it today. Every one of them is no less powerful than our top centurion. There is no doubt that this is Cao's trump card. We just have to hold on to it."
After this wave, can the Cao family have a second wave?" Nihaven said loudly to Aldashir, "If he really can have a second wave, then why should we insist on it!"
Nihaven is a purebred aristocrat, the kind of aristocrat who does not regard the lower class as a human being, so he can think coldly when faced with this situation. But because of this coldness, he can see clearly - Han
The chamber is forcing them to return to the army. This shows that the strength of the Han army is very strong, but it has not yet reached the level of crushing. In this case, why not fight? They also have reinforcements!
"Withdraw. If we completely lose the support of the people, we won't even be able to stand in Kabul." Ardashir said with a sigh, "I know what you mean. Since the other party is attacking the city, it will definitely not be able to survive in a short time."
Come, we just need to fight here with the Han army on the opposite side. When the other side realizes that we are not retreating and comes to attack from a flank, we can hold on for one more journey at most, and Gorgan and the others will come. At that time, we will concentrate all our strength.
It is indeed possible to annihilate the Han army."
"Then why withdraw?" Nihavin asked Ardashir. He was willing to follow Ardashir. Isn't it because Ardashir had such a glimmer of hope and that Ardashir was indeed a talented and strategic commander who could
Lead them to break out of the predicament, but what is this choice now? It is to cut the flesh with a dull knife and then bleed!
"Because it is not necessary for all the Han troops who entered the Kabul Valley to come and attack us. Once we choose to continue the stalemate here, they only need to divide half of their troops to carry out destruction. With the heavy rain now, if they casually bomb the mountains
, blocking the river..." Aldashir said with a bit of helplessness. In this case, a sabotage team could cause too much damage.
Especially when the main force of the Han army attacked their group from front to back, Gorgan and others had to lead the main force to come to the rescue. After the defense of the entire Kabul Valley was completely empty, the losses that this group of sabotage teams could cause, not to mention Alda
If Hill is completely finished, I'm afraid it won't be too far off.
"But if we can't repel this group of people here and force them to retreat to the mountain road, we will lose even the initiative later, and the war will start in the area we control. Will the losses then be smaller than now?" Nihavin
Ardashir asked loudly, and then sighed softly, "General, we can't retreat, let's fight. Even if the rear suffers heavy losses, at least we still have control of the entire Kabul. In the future, we only need to seal this place to find the enemy's way in."
On that road, we still have hope."
Nihaven didn't say the rest, but Aldashir knew very well. He knew that what Nihaven said was that if they just retreated and the Han army controlled the northwest mountain road, it would only be a matter of time before they were defeated.
, Unless Ardashir can recapture the mountain pass northwest of Kabul, the question is, how many talents did the Han army sacrifice to capture the strategic location, will it be so easily given back?
"Retreat." Ardashir said bitterly. If the Han army really destroyed all the people's livelihood in this heavy rain, then even if he continues to stand in Kabul, how can he make progress? Rely on the weapons in his hands.
Parthians? Are you kidding me? There are so many of them!
Nihavin was extremely angry, but in the end he sighed, said no more, and led the heavy-lost Rangers and Aldashir to retreat quickly. He could not convince Aldashir, even if he thought that his choice was
was correct, but he could not change Ardashir's mind.
With less than half of the immortal guards at the rear being killed, Xu Huang finally felt at ease and won. Although he didn't know how Balak did it, they did win. They successfully captured the northwest part of the Kabul Mountain Road.
Well, I will never have to face that bad terrain again.
"The fight is over." Cao Ang shuddered and looked at the suddenly opened valley. He didn't feel cold when he was fighting before, but after the war stopped, he suddenly felt the biting chill.
"Order all the soldiers to drink ginger syrup to ward off the cold, and take rock sugar. After quickly cleaning the battlefield, they rush to Shakardala County at full speed." Xu Huang looked at his own side who had also suffered heavy losses, but did not dare to delay at all.
He knew very well that the current situation was not yet stable. Even though victory was only one step away, if they wanted to reap the fruits of victory, they had to join up with Balak. After Xia Houyuan and others successfully led 40,000 soldiers to arrive here,
That would be considered a complete success.
"General, please quickly send a letter to General Xiahou Miaocai, asking him to lead the main force to Kabul as quickly as possible. Then it is time to harvest." Xu Huang took a deep breath, suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart, and turned to tell Cao Ang not to do anything.
The more excited you are, the more cautious you must be.
"Order Le Jin to lead a thousand shield guards to garrison the mountain pass. After the others have been sorted out, follow me to Shakirdala County." After Xu Huang told Cao Ang, he quickly issued a new order. The northwest entrance of Kabul must be
The blockade is related to whether Xia Houyuan and others can arrive, and whether Xia Houyuan and others can arrive is related to the final result of this battle.
When Aldashir's main force gathered together, it was indeed possible to kill all the nearly 10,000 cadres led by Xu Huang and Barak, but it was absolutely impossible to annihilate the nearly 50,000 main force of the Han army after regrouping, so in order to avoid Ardashir
To kill a carbine, a main force must be left to station in the mountain road northwest of Kabul to ensure the entry and exit of the Han army's follow-up reinforcements.
In Xu Huang's opinion, the only person suitable for this job is Le Jin. As for giving all the remaining 1,000 backbone shield guards to Le Jin, leaving none for his own family, and even further diluting his own military strength.
Xu Huang didn't care at all.
At this point in the war, the real killer move is no longer with these elite elites, but with the size of the follow-up troops. They only need to join up with Balak and hold on to Shakirdala County, leaving Han
If the company has a strategic fulcrum inside the Kabul Valley and can firmly control the import and export of Kabul, then victory is only a matter of time.
Xu Huang didn't count on a quick victory. For him, as long as he established a foothold in Kabul, everything would be easy to do in the future. Therefore, Xu Huang, who only had less than 5,000 people left, decided to separate one group.
Qiangugan is stationed on the mountain road northwest of Kabul.
"We must defend this place no matter what. Even if Aldashir kills a carbine, we must hold it. No matter what, we must rely on the terrain here to drag the main force of our army to arrive." Xu Huang said this task very seriously
Leave it to Le Jin.
"Even if I die in battle here, I will not let Aldashir take back the mountain road." Le Jin said with a serious expression. When the situation has reached this point, for the generals under Cao Ang and the soldiers under Cao's family,
For me, the light of hope has appeared, and my fighting spirit is three points stronger than before.
"Okay." Xu Huang nodded, and quickly assigned the shield guard to Le Jin. After completing the inventory and cleaning up, he separated more than 300 people to send the wounded soldiers into the cliff passage.
It's about shelter from the rain, and it's about treatment. Half of these wounded soldiers can recover as long as they are treated well.
"You go first, we will be here in a while." Zhang Huang, who was carried into the cliff passage, said to Shi Gai and others. Even they, the truly top veterans, would have a hard time on this kind of battlefield.
I promise it will be fine. For example, Zhang Huang is missing an arm now.
"Will you be here soon?" Huang Xiu asked Zhang Huang while vomiting blood. He also felt that it was outrageous that after fifty years of accumulation, he was not beaten to death by Aldashir. It must be said that Zhang Ping
This little brother was very reliable and saved his life. Coupled with the super resistance and recovery ability brought by his young body, although Huang Xiu felt uncomfortable, he was able to make do with it.
"It's just a broken arm, just wait until I find it." Zhang Huang said with a wry smile, "Transcendence of Will is very special. After I pick it up and press it on, it won't take long to connect. It's not a big problem.
I was just careless this time, so you should be more careful. In addition to the normal Holy Death Cavalry, there are some guys among them who have smelting levels no less than ours. I was fooled because of my carelessness."
It’s just Zhang Huang. Anyone else would have died after being tricked. After all, it’s still a carrier of inheritance. It’s not too difficult for Zhu Tao to kill the opponent, but this kind of thing, both in terms of combat effectiveness and survivability.
It's scary to be strong, especially if you take the lead
With his hands, even a person of Zhu Tao's level might be killed by evil. Zhang Huang was unlucky enough to meet one, and was attacked by the opponent in a sneak attack. He directly took off one of his arms. If it weren't for all his fighting power, it was his will.
At this level, he was really beaten to death.
"Guangyuan, are you okay?" Basiu looked at Guangyuan and asked. Guangyuan had seven or eight large wounds. Even if such wounds were placed on Basiu, Basiu could not guarantee that he would survive.
"Do you think I'm okay?" Guangyuan said with a weak face, "But I won't die. I still have breath. Give me some sugar or something to replenish it."
Because Guangyuan was completely unaware that he was a demon and that he was still a human being, this injury really had a considerable impact on him. He became much weaker, but fortunately he did not think that this injury could harm him.
Death, I just feel that I need to cultivate myself for a while.
Seeing that Guangyuan could still beep like this, Basiu felt that the problem was not big, and he probably couldn't die. He felt a lot more at ease. Even at their age, death was normal and there was nothing to be sad about. After all, they were seventy years old.
Having lived to this age, there is really nothing to regret.
"Brother Zhu and Brother Peng are both dead?" Guangyuan swallowed a few pieces of candy and after supplying energy to his cells, his condition was obviously better. He looked around and asked with some doubts.
"Well, Brother Zhu killed a living inheritance. Brother Peng couldn't do anything. Xu Yuan was seriously injured by a strong man on the opposite side. He sent Xu Yuan out and fell into it. We didn't have time to save him. Holy Death
The ride is really good." Basiu said calmly. He was not angry because the brother he had known for decades died like this. After all, when they came, they knew that Zhu Tao would definitely die here.
As for Peng Hong, it is inevitable.
"The number of Holy Death Riders is small, but they are really powerful in other aspects. How many have you killed?" Guangyuan breathed out. Looking at the surface, there were no injuries, but Basuu, who was breathing heavily, realized that the other party was actually
He was also a seriously injured person.
"Four, the fourth one almost killed me. To be honest, if my heart muscle hadn't been tempered and strengthened, my heart would have been shattered by that last blow. Fortunately, my heart is the same as my whole body.
The strongest muscles." Basiu said with lingering fear. If he could live, he still wanted to live. After all, his oath bond could still last for three years, and he had a son and a grandson, and a happy family. If he could survive, he would still be alive.
I want to be with my children and grandchildren.
"I didn't kill any of them." Huang Xiu said speechlessly from the side.
"Although you didn't kill anyone, it's all thanks to you. Without you, the sudden rise of Ardashir would have been a problem." Zhang Huang, who fell to the ground next to him, said with a bit of fatigue. Although he had the will to transcend, he could contain it.
He was in good physical condition, but the excessive blood loss still made him a little dizzy.
"I found it. Uncle Zhang, I brought your arm back to you, but it took too long to leave the body. Is it really okay?" Ma Pin limped back.
"Stop talking nonsense, just give it to me. Where is Feng Ke?" Zhang Huang said angrily to Ma Pin, took his arm and pressed it directly, and used his will to transcend to activate. After completing the docking, this arm is considered to be attached.
Okay, of course there are big problems with this rough installation, but they also have professional treatment and first aid personnel Feng Ke, let’s learn about it at the cellular level.
In the midst of failure to get up, as for that activity, please keep an eye on it and don’t make the author too miserable.
