...

The significant reduction in effective damage has one advantage: it makes it harder for the enemy's weapons and equipment to break their prized shields and gear. This increases their margin for error and can also help bridge some of the gaps in command.

With their equipment offering greater leeway and stronger defensive capabilities, they are more likely to win and survive.

In addition, they also have elite long-range troops. As long as they can lure out the Peacock's long-range strike capability, they can launch a timely counterattack and disrupt the enemy's further offensive.

Even though archers possess exceptional archery skills, they still find it difficult to dodge the attacks of the Shooting Sound Camp.

The existence of the Shooting Battalion not only provided cross-horizon strike capabilities, but also served to contain the Kushan army's ultra-long-range strike capabilities.

Theoretically speaking, if the Shooting Battalion and Zhang Fei's Legion cooperated, they would have a very high probability of wiping out the Peacock Legion.

However, this is a battlefield, a battlefield between the Han Empire and the Kushan Empire, not a one-on-one battle between a single legion. It depends on their cooperation and abilities.

Only by coordinating well in this aspect and further leveraging everyone's strengths can they have a chance of victory.

"Now that things have been confirmed, let's prepare for this probing battle. I think the other side will definitely not give up..." Guan Yu looked up at the west and said calmly.

Although no relevant intelligence had been received, Guan Yu had already formed a general guess and judgment about Rahul's behavior.

How could a commander of a massive army of 400,000 men possibly lose the strength and courage to continue the attack because of the failure of one vanguard?

Guan Yu didn't believe this possibility at all, and based on his own thoughts, he gave his evaluation and opinion: "In this battle, in addition to understanding the enemy's strength, the most important thing is to ensure that, within a controllable range, we can force the enemy to leave the city to fight, rather than being trapped in the fortress."

A slightly longer delay might lead to a better outcome, but the delay cannot be too long, otherwise the initiative on the battlefield will fall into the hands of the enemy.

Although the enemy clearly has more initiative, they are not in a particularly bad position; they still have a chance.

However, such opportunities are not very common, and they will have to rely on the efforts of everyone. If there are no opportunities, then create them and rise to the challenge. How can the army return empty-handed after coming here?

"Rahul, the famous general of the Kushan Brahmins, let me see just how strong you are and whether you live up to those people's evaluation!" After making a simple arrangement and assigning the probing mission, Guan Yu looked up again at the west, as if he could see Rahul through the horizon.

In order to better complete this probing mission and establish prestige within the military.

The men and troops that Guan Yu chose were not many in number, but without exception, they were all truly elite.

They could even be considered Guan Yu's trusted subordinates, rather than generals temporarily transferred from other places.

The legions of Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Sun Guan, Wu Yan, and others basically became the main force for this probing attack. "General Guan, is this really a good idea?" Watching Guan Yu quickly issue military deployment orders, Fa Zheng turned to Guo Jia and said thoughtfully, "Won't there be any unexpected problems facing Rahul in the current state?"

“But there’s nothing we can do. Rahul is there, with an extremely large number of elite troops and the advantage of terrain. If the enemy doesn’t want to come out of the city to fight, even if we double the number of troops, we still can’t take him down…” Guo Jia shook his head and said as calmly as possible.

If Rahul continues to hold firm in this regard without any scruples, they really won't be able to do anything about it.

With a larger number of troops, a more elite army, and logistical and food supplies, they could basically drag things out indefinitely.

"Therefore, to get them to fight, we must give them hope of victory. In other words, our apparent strength must be lower than Rahul's, or at least roughly the same. After all, he is a commander of a large army and should have enough confidence in this regard. As for our strength, it's unlikely we'll have a chance to defeat the Kushan's 400,000-strong army on paper." Purely from a theoretical perspective, Guo Jia believes the Kushans are actually stronger, especially given their geographical advantage, making them even more formidable.

If we had arrived two days earlier, the situation would be much better now.

"Sigh, things have come to this point, so we can only try this for now. If Rahul really doesn't send out his troops, we'll have to implement the backup plan," Fa Zheng said, looking down at himself and thinking about the process of the backup plan. He was still somewhat reluctant.

...

“Interesting. This is the first time I’ve seen a talent that can inflict fear and dread on enemies. The world is indeed full of wonders. The generals of the Han Empire are truly outstanding.” Rahul was willing to believe everything his subordinates said, and at the same time, he sought to learn more about this talent.

With their rich combat experience, they naturally knew what this type of legion was used for and how destructive it was.

They also knew that this type of legion was almost fatally destructive to the Peacock Legion.

Once an elephant, with its innate fearlessness, loses control and falls into fear and terror, the resulting casualties will be no small number.

A rampaging elephant is capable of indiscriminately wiping out everyone within the duration of its rampage.

In addition, the vanguard cavalry of the Han Empire possessed extremely strong battlefield mobility. If this force also had an excellent general, and he found a weakness and took the opportunity to attack and get close, then the trouble would be immense.

Although he had an army of 400,000, the only legion that Rahul could truly trust was the Peacock Legion.

With this core main legion at their disposal, they can better command other armies and execute the orders they issue.

"It seems we need to engage the enemy first and understand their general capabilities before we can better deal with this reinforcement force from the Han Empire." Rahul tapped the table lightly, thought about what was happening behind him, and finally made his decision.

This is a war that must be fought, whether for ourselves or for others.

"I'm willing to go and test the waters!" Passa, naturally skilled in command, stepped forward and declared without hesitation. (End of Chapter)
