Chapter 3259 Different Methods of War

...

With Guan Ping's outburst, Surapuri immediately felt a surge of pressure and realized who his opponent was.

Guan Ping and his legion were among the most active frontline legions during this period, and Sulapuri and others were quite aware of their level of understanding.

With the added advantage of his talent, his frontal attack capability is explosive. After all, a broadsword the size of half a door is quite terrifying in terms of both visual impact and reliable attack range.

Generally speaking, the best approach when facing a legion like Guan Ping's is to use a barrage of long-range arrows to suppress their burst damage and slow down their attack. After that, once they have finished their burst, you can launch a counterattack and suppress them to secure the victory you deserve.

However, Guan Ping's army's outburst was not suppressed by ranged attacks. Surapuri, who witnessed this, was inwardly cursing.

What is the situation with our own commander? Has he not noticed the current situation?
Why didn't the expected suppression of arrows appear?

Turning his head to look at the central army to confirm the situation, Surapuri only glanced at it before falling silent. He also realized why Guan Ping's army was in front of him instead of in the central army to carry out the task of breaking through enemy lines.

In order to curb the decline of the central army, Shan Ta'nu has begun to mobilize the ranged troops in the army to suppress them with all their might, so as to prevent the Han Empire's central army from breaking through too quickly and causing the entire army to break through and completely break through their defenses.

As for the left and right flanks, whether it was the infantry battalion on the left wing of the Han Empire or Guan Ping's army on the right wing, their attack effectiveness was indeed extremely strong, but in terms of penetrating and destroying the battle line, they were far less risky than the central army.

Therefore, a significant amount of long-range strike capability was mainly deployed to the central army, with a portion also placed behind the Hanzhong army.

The reason why the attack and investigation were carried out without any prior information was entirely due to the instructions given by the Han army before the battle.

Shan Ta'nu was deeply wary of that kind of long-range strike capability that could cross the horizon.

Among the Brahmins, the only legion that could truly intimidate the north was the Peacock Legion, and all the southerners were well aware of the Peacock Legion's characteristics.

Especially for legion commanders like them, if they don't even remember this kind of legion, they won't even know how they died.

Therefore, for the Shanteng, the capabilities that the Han Empire has currently revealed are merely at a probing level, even though this probing level is about to break their front lines and even force them to reveal most of their abilities.

It can be said that in their brief encounter and contact, Shan Ta Nu had already realized the absolute gap between the two sides.

Winning is impossible now; what we need to do is accomplish everything at the lowest possible cost.

"It seems that their ranged attacks are limited. There is indeed no Peacock Legion present. Should we push forward further?" Fa Zheng asked directly, looking at the arrows flying in the sky.

"There's no need. Whether the Peacock Legion exists or not, we just need to treat them as if they exist." Guan Yu shook his head slightly, his words revealing a sense of confidence.

Whether the Peacock Legion is present or not, the outcome of this battle will not change.

If the Peacock Legion is outside their attack range, their only means of counterattack is through the Shooting Sound Battalion. However, if the Peacock Legion is within their attack range, Guan Yu is confident that with his current forces, he can defeat them, even if they are the Soul Legion.

After glancing at the rather composed Guan Yu, Fa Zheng looked back at the troops that had not yet entered the battlefield.

"Since we are determined to annihilate the enemy as much as possible, we cannot allow Changshui to launch an attack at this time, otherwise the enemy army will collapse directly." Noticing Fazheng's actions, Guan Yu still spoke up to explain.

In terms of efficiency and speed in sustaining killing, none of the legions present could match the Changshui Legion.

Once Changshui enters the attack range and begins its offensive, the enemy's casualties will naturally skyrocket, especially for lightly armored units, which are simply unable to withstand Changshui's attack.

Legions unable to withstand the attacks of the Changshui River, unable to get close, simply died very quickly.

The terrifying rate of death was something that most legions simply couldn't withstand, ultimately leading to their collapse.

Although a defeated enemy is very easy to deal with, it is definitely not a good thing for them at this moment.

Although the probability of them being affected by the night environment is relatively small, it is indeed quite difficult to pursue the enemy at night and complete the predetermined goal of annihilation as much as possible without any blocking.

In contrast, allowing the enemy to maintain some organization, order, and combat effectiveness makes it easier for them to form a cohesive group.

After all, besides annihilating the enemy's manpower, they had another goal: to capture as many fortresses as possible in one battle, so that they could directly deploy their forces to the Wenga region and further maintain stability and security in Central and South Asia.

"Is killing too quickly sometimes not a good thing?" Fa Zheng, who possessed extraordinary wisdom, instantly understood the difference and couldn't help but sigh. "It is difficult for routed soldiers to open the gates of a fortress. On the contrary, it is necessary for an army with a certain level of organization and order to open the gates of a fortress."

"To coerce the enemy into opening the fortress gates?" Guan Yu glanced at Fa Zheng and instantly understood Fa Zheng's idea, realizing that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Does General Guan have a different idea?" Upon being asked this, Fa Zheng immediately scanned the battle situation, wondering about the reason behind it.

Guan Yu looked away and remained silent for a while, but still did not immediately offer an explanation.

Since this was Guan Yu's first time going to war with the idea of ​​annihilating tens of thousands of troops, he was naturally much more cautious. So when he was carrying out the plan, he never thought of using the enemy's organized army to break through the fortress. Instead, he was determined to wipe out the enemy here first, and then destroy the fortress.

In order to effectively annihilate the enemy forces, Guan Yu even deployed a wild goose formation to disguise the attack, making it appear as if the central army had broken through, thus triggering a breakthrough across the entire front.

In reality, the strategy was to leverage the counterforce of the enemy's central army, strengthen the offensive capabilities of both flanks, send the shield guard legions in from both sides, and use the shield guard legions to block the enemy's retreat, thereby achieving total annihilation.

The Shield Guard Legion is incredibly useful; even in small numbers, it's extremely effective at blocking the way.

As long as the shield guards hold the line, there's no need to attack; just focus on defense. Then, the Changshui River will begin its all-around coverage. In less than half an hour, all 80,000 Kushan soldiers will be lying dead here. The casualties will be less than if the Changshui River were to launch an attack now. (End of Chapter)
