God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"Release!" Upon hearing the command, the peacock, who had drawn back the giant bow, released the string in an orderly fashion.

The arrow, once released, flew directly over the horizon and struck the pass and city wall with precision.

By lowering the aiming height, the primary objective was not to strike soldiers and manpower, but to attack the city walls.

The terrifying kinetic energy endowed the arrows with unparalleled power; the spear-like arrows pierced the wall three feet deep, leaving a series of exposed shafts scattered throughout the entire city wall.

"First, the peacocks launch a long-range attack to shock and damage the city walls, while also providing momentum support for the vanguard soldiers behind them." Yan Yan, who had witnessed this scene, was already quite familiar with Rahul's army's siege tactics.

And in response to this familiar, all-too-familiar process, Yan Yan also used a textbook-based counterattack.

Use catapults and ballistae for the same long-range counterattacks, harass the Mauryan legion, then strike the charging Kushan soldiers, forcing their charging lines to break apart, allowing the defending soldiers to orderly resist the enemy's wave-like attacks.

"Slingshots!" Almost as soon as Yan Yan commanded the counterattack, Rahul's attacking forces also launched a slingshot attack, using curved surfaces to counter the catapults inside the pass.

"Disperse formation, prepare for counterattack!" Seeing the boulders also appearing in the sky, Yan Yan immediately activated his legion talent, granting the entire legion an indestructible effect to prevent the morale blow and impact caused by the boulders from spreading further.

"Damn it!" Pasa, who was acting as the front-line auxiliary commander, quickly issued the corresponding attack order after confirming that the arrows on the pass had become less uniform.

The soldiers who rushed out, holding all sorts of ladders, prepared to attack the city. Meanwhile, the larger elite troops slowly pushed the huge siege ladders forward, putting more psychological pressure on the Han army. This psychological pressure caused the enemy to make more mistakes and create more openings, thus effectively dispersing the strength of the counterattack.

"Fire!" Yan Yan, who had drawn his sword, saw the rapidly approaching Rahul soldiers and gave the order for them to counterattack.

The siege battles over the past few months have allowed both sides to make significant progress.

Whether it's the attacking or defending side, in terms of tactics and reactions, especially for the commanders on both sides, it can be said that they are gradually approaching instinct.

By observing the other party's actions, one can know what to do and even anticipate and respond in advance.

It's fair to say that neither side in a battle this intensely can be simple.

As the enemy rapidly approached, their own arrows launched a swift and explosive counterattack, wiping out a large number of enemies and causing a certain degree of disjointedness between the enemy's front and rear troops. It seemed like things were going well, but Lu Jun was ultimately a man who understood military affairs and would not be blinded by the situation before him.

"Climb!" After confirming that the Han Empire army had launched a burst of fire, Pasa directly commanded his elite troops to prepare to use the attack launched by the Peacock Legion to carry out a siege operation.

The more elite and powerful troops, without the need for ladders or siege ladders, quickly climbed up the city walls using the numerous arrow shafts on them. Together with the soldiers rapidly approaching from the ladders, they exerted a completely different kind of pressure.

"These guys are still so troublesome." Yan Yan glanced down at the enemy troops scaling the wall, her words no longer filled with the shock of before, but rather with a very calm demeanor as she observed everything. The moment these wall-climbing troops first appeared was also the moment when their killing range was at its most effective. Without the initial kill, one could calmly think of many countermeasures to effectively curb the enemy's offensive speed.

"It does look very troublesome." Lu Jun looked down at the soldiers on the city wall, watching them rapidly ascend from one gun barrel to another, his surprise barely contained.

Those who dare to attack a city using such methods are, without exception, the bravest of warriors and the elite of the elite.

Once elite soldiers of this caliber breach the city walls, they can secure a foothold there. With a constant stream of enemy troops behind them, it becomes much more difficult to drive the enemy forces back down.

The fact that even soldiers from the Brahmins of the South can be deployed to the battlefield in such combat certainly seems more grand and extravagant than before.

Rahul's strength is indeed not just in command.

"These are just harassment tactics, used by a small number of soldiers for harassment and feints. The real danger is yet to come..." Yan Yan shook her head slightly, not taking these tactics seriously. She skillfully directed her soldiers to approach the city wall, waiting for the soldiers who were rushing up to come up before attacking them with a dense formation of long spears.

Looking up at the sky, Lu Jun gained a more accurate understanding of what Yan Yan had said.

The siege began early in the morning, and it was a fierce siege with real troops deployed. The will and fighting mentality of the enemy were indeed extraordinary.

"This is something I can only trouble you with, General. In this regard, what I can do is perhaps not as good as what you can do. You have already embarked on this path, and if you persevere, you will surely succeed." It can be said that in the current situation, Yan Yan's skill can make up for many things, especially when combined with his own legion talent, which is beyond the reach of ordinary large legion commanders.

Although Lu Jun was in some respects no less capable than a top-tier army commander, given that Yan Yan was clearly still in control, he naturally couldn't say much, much less take over the other's command.

The last time I took over command of the war, it almost made the entire Yizhou population dependent on me, and the consequences were quite obvious.

If he were to continue in command, would the governor of Yizhou be Liu Zhang or him?

Any general or soldier who has experienced that kind of command ability can feel the huge difference before and after command.

Years of study, dream simulations, battles against military gods, the refinement of his mental power system, and extreme mental calculations have shaped Lu Jun's current command ability—a pinnacle of individual command under his full-force approach.

Han Xin once described eight directions, and he is not weak in any of them now.

Being able to participate in the dream battle between Han Xin and Bai Qi, even considering the factor of status, is enough to demonstrate Lu Jun's ability.

After all, for people like Han Xin and Bai Qi, those who only possess status and lack ability might be respected, but they would never belittle themselves. (End of Chapter)
