Chapter 3177 Racing Against Time

...

When Kailash and Karnak led their troops out of the pass, Pasa's army was on the verge of collapse.

They were boosted by the morale of consecutive victories, the morale of having allies behind them, and even the morale of having Brahmins like Rahul watching over them.

However, even with such a strong mentality and high morale, it was still impossible to bridge the gap in raw strength between the two sides. Even after the initial burst of fighting, when they managed to create some distance and prepare to retreat, they were caught up in a very short time and had to re-enter the battle.

Guan Ping and Wu Yan, who were launching an attack along the gaps and the difference in the army's lines, advanced at an extremely fast speed to encircle the rear of the Kushan army's flanks, trying their best to intercept the enemy's retreat.

"Order the Peacock Legion to prepare for attack!" Realizing the situation was amiss, Rahul turned to the messenger and gave the order, "Lock onto the enemy's rear area and launch the attack!"

The order prompted the Peacock Legion, which was already prepared to continue, to draw their giant bows and place short spears on the bowstrings, aiming directly at the Han Empire army that was visible to the naked eye.

"Release!" After confirming that Pasa's abilities had reached their limit and could not grow any further in a short period of time, Rahul immediately gave the order to attack without hesitation.

Thousands of short guns pierced the sky and flew towards the distant battlefield.

With their extremely high flight speed, and the fact that few people pay attention to the distant sky on the battlefield, the Peacock Legion, even without corresponding precision shooting talent, could not stop the enemy's elite archers.

However, Guan Yu was an exception. Guan Yu was an extremely skilled martial artist with a high degree of sensitivity to what was happening on the battlefield. Coupled with the advantages his army held, the intelligence he had obtained in advance, and the fact that he might not have been prepared,

"They've finally arrived! Get up!" Guan Yu waved his hand, and the Zhonglei Camp, which had been prepared, immediately began to disrupt the atmosphere, destroying the original flight path of the Peacock Legion's arrows and thus preventing them from hitting their intended targets directly.

However, the Fear Legion's attacks are capable of long-range strikes, and their attack speed and power are far beyond what a regular archer legion can match.

The Central Camp, which could effectively counter conventional archer legions, was simply unable to completely deflect the Peacock Legion's attacks.

They could only make a choice between two options in a very short time: either raise the flight altitude of the Peacock Legion's arrows to make them fly farther away, but this had a downside: they didn't know where the arrows would fly after being raised.

If they fly directly east, no one knows where these arrows will end up—whether they'll land in the rear camp or in a city built along the river.

Compared to this uncontrollable situation, Guan Yu ordered the central camp to press downwards, so that the arrows fired by the Peacock Army would land at a closer distance with a greater parabolic angle.

That ultra-long-range strike effect, which should have covered the entire Zhou Cang army and its rear, instantly turned into an attack on the area where the enemy and our forces were engaged in battle.

Under the attack of the Peacock Legion, those who were backed by the city walls naturally had little chance of noticing the attacks coming from behind. In addition, the numerical and equipment differences between the two sides resulted in more casualties in roughly the same attack range.

Of course, even Zhou Cang's well-prepared army noticed the difference in the powerful attack. "Kill!" Zhou Cang roared instantly, ordering his teammates to take over and leading his troops in another attack.

Only with the help of the enemy's long-range attacks could he get closer, quickly break through the enemy's central defensive line, and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Rahul, who witnessed all of this, had a look of disbelief on his face.

This is his Peacock Legion, a Peacock Legion that has been tempered and reforged.

While the accuracy of the strikes is indeed not high, it shouldn't be this ridiculously bad. It's like striking the enemy while hitting your own side instead. How can this be allowed?
"The Peacock Legion attacked our own army. What does this mean?" Pasa, who was commanding at the front line, felt his scalp tingle and his face turned very ugly when he saw that both sides had suffered heavy losses after this round of attacks.

Is the intention to quickly separate us from the enemy through this means, even at the cost of our own troops?

“Since Commander Rahul has already gone this far, we can only hurry up and join in. Otherwise, what will others say about us when they see me?” Pasa nodded slightly, and then continued to instill his thoughts and theories into everyone, confirming Rahul’s excellent record and brilliant achievements. Then he led everyone to retreat.

Meanwhile, Kailash and Kanak, who had originally come to the rescue, arrived at their designated positions after some time. They exchanged a glance and quickly threw themselves into the battlefield to prepare to rescue their own army.

During this time, Guan Ping and Wu Yan successfully completed their mission, breaking out from the army's flanks and subsequently encircling the two wings, preventing the Kushan forces from retreating.

"Charge!" Seeing the Han Empire army standing on two sides, Kailash and Kanak seized the opportunity and launched an attack in the shortest possible time.

Blocking the troops on both flanks while simultaneously halting the advance of Kanak and Kailash is no easy task, especially for Guan Ping. The risks are extremely high; he could easily turn blocking the enemy's retreat into being surrounded from both sides.

Fortunately, they had a contingency plan in place, knowing that at such close range, the garrison at the pass would have to come out of the city to help fight, and by choosing to flank, they would naturally have to face the enemy garrison.

"Die!" Leading his army, Kailash charged forward, approaching Guan Ping's army in the shortest possible time. Without fully closing in or engaging in battle, Kailash unleashed his own power, the power of Asura.

It starts with the most violent output, showcasing the Legion's most ferocious side.

Kailash was able to make up his mind in such a short time because after observing the battlefield, he knew that this crucial moment was absolutely not to be missed.

If they were truly blocked by the Han Empire's army, then Pasa's army would likely be in real trouble.

The pass wasn't very large, and the number of troops stationed there wasn't particularly large. If such a simple probing attack resulted in significant casualties, it would likely take some time to defend the fortress. (End of Chapter)
