God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Upon realizing that the Han army's ranged attacks had been greatly weakened, Shan Ta Nu's eyes, which had been filled with despair, instantly regained some clarity, and hope was rekindled in them.

There's only one possibility: a significant reduction in the enemy's ranged attack strength, or a reduction under the current circumstances.

The enemy legion, which kills at an extremely fast pace, is essentially a burst legion. Although such a long burst is indeed rare, on the other hand, the fact that it can burst for such a long time shows that the enemy is elite.

"This is a golden opportunity! All units, coordinate your efforts and break through the enemy's defenses!" Realizing this, Shan Ta'nu looked back at the Han Empire's shield infantry blocking his rear. It seemed that they had not yet taken them down or opened up the road. Instantly, he prepared for the worst and also thought of a solution.

Since the Han army's ranged attacks have been weakened, the most elite troops from each legion, including even the legion commanders themselves, should be drawn up to form a formidable force to forcibly break through the Han army's heavy infantry defensive line and thus obtain a way to retreat.

Once they can clear a path, relying on their superior physical strength and familiarity with the terrain after personally traversing it, retreating will no longer be a life-threatening issue.

However, all of this is based on the premise that the defensive line of the shield position can be broken through.

Therefore, in order to break through this defensive line, Shan Ta Nu quickly assembled the elite troops from various legions, resulting in the mass disappearance of personnel on the front lines who were used to resist the elite troops of the Han Empire, and further weakening their combat effectiveness.

However, Shan Ta Nu, who has already given the order to cease the attack, doesn't need to worry too much about this.

Offense requires perfect coordination to unleash maximum combat power, but defense and stalling are different. Even without perfect coordination, they can still buy a lot of time.

This delay was prepared by Shan Ta Nu for a very small group of people, using the loss of these people to buy this time.

Only by capturing the shield infantry can their retreat be smooth.

The burning fire and the rising ambient temperature were all moving in a positive direction, but unfortunately the timing was wrong; otherwise, things would not have come to this.

“The enemy’s resistance has weakened, which is suspected to be due to a significant loss of key personnel. Similar results have been reported on every front. This proves that the enemy has gathered these elite troops for a more critical mission.” Fa Zheng surveyed the battlefield and then focused his gaze on his feet.

For the Kushans, the truly important task on the battlefield was always to eliminate them; once they were eliminated, everything else would fall into place.

If the goal is victory, then it is not impossible to concentrate a small force for a counterattack.

However, the reality was completely different. The Kushan soldiers, who had neither the strength nor the belief, would not have focused their existing strength on this aspect.

However, there are certain things we must guard against, otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it will truly be an accident.

"It's alright. Even if the enemy gathers their elite troops, they won't be able to reach us." Guan Yu slowly shook his head, indicating the safety of this place.

"Since General Guan says so, then it must be alright. We can rest assured then." Fa Zheng waved his hand casually, adding without a care in the world.

Since the overall situation of annihilating the enemy was clear, the probability of success was extremely high, and the possibility of failure was negligible, more time should be spent considering the subsequent situation. Meanwhile, as Shan Ta'nu commanded the assembled elite troops to charge towards the rear army...

Changshui, who was originally thought to be exhausted, launched another sweeping attack.

Equally swift and effective, the Long River was even more efficient and terrifying in its killing power against the Kushan soldiers who had lost their elite core.

Sun Guan, who had taken over the defense line, looked at the Kushan soldiers charging towards him, nodded and watched everything unfold, gripping his shield tightly.

Judging from the enemy's aura alone, Sun Guan knew that he was facing quite a few experts, and most of them were not even people he could defeat.

"This road is blocked!" Sun Guan slammed his weapon against his shield and shouted the order, "Block them!"

The shield guards, facing this scene, unconsciously gripped their shields tighter, becoming even more serious and focused.

The longer they hold off the enemy, the more Kushan soldiers they eliminate; the more perfectly they hold off the enemy, the less time the Kushan soldiers can hold out, and the less pressure there will be for subsequent attacks on the fortress.

Therefore, whether for the sake of present achievements or for future wars, holding off the enemy is a responsibility to oneself.

With a series of high-speed collisions and impacts, the elite troops assembled by Shan Ta Nu collided with the shield guards composed of 180-pound strong men.

Thick armor, comprehensive protection, and massive tower shields are enough to protect soldiers from ranged attacks, while melee attacks, especially those with spears, simply cannot penetrate the shields held by the shield guards.

This also means that it would be difficult for Shan Ta's elite troops to achieve results in a short period of time, and there is no way they could clear the road.

"Damn it, just how thick are these guys' shields?" Leblair, who had retreated immediately, brandished his blade and watched the sparks fly as it passed over the shields. He instantly realized the abnormality of this defensive power and his cursing became even more unbiased.

Even with the full force of a master like him, Shang Dan couldn't break through the shields of the shield guards in terms of sharpness; the situation would only be worse for others, especially his own soldiers.

The sparks from the various collisions were extremely loud and eye-catching, making many of the elite Kushan soldiers who rushed to the scene realize that something was wrong and the special nature of the building.

Unlike ordinary attacks, its defenses were extraordinary, which was quite surprising and shocking.

"There's no time to waste. Unite our forces and go all out to break through their defenses." Shan Ta Nu issued the corresponding orders and warnings once again.

Although it may take a lot of time, it's the only way to do it.

We can't expect these people to give them a way to survive, can we?

Shan Ta'nu himself didn't hold out much hope, nor did he believe such a possibility would arise. Therefore, his best efforts, including mobilizing elite troops, were merely a desperate attempt to escape. (End of Chapter)
