God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Faced with this unexpected situation, Zhao Kuang reacted extremely quickly, immediately shouting out the most common and frequently used command, which was also the most correct choice under the current circumstances.

Having experienced attacks in various situations, the Princess Guard is quite experienced in dealing with all kinds of unexpected events and blows.

Although the collapse of the city wall was indeed a first, accidents were not uncommon. So, upon receiving the order, the guards quickly surveyed the surrounding area, identified their teammates, and swiftly assembled.

During the observation process, casualties were identified, and temporary containment measures were implemented before relocation.

Soldiers who were still capable of fighting quickly regrouped, regained their organizational strength, and steadily advanced to rebuild their defensive line.

A new, organized defensive line was built beneath the original collapsed city walls.

As the dust and smoke from the collapsed city walls dissipated, Sakarala led his Kshatriya warrior legion forward, attempting to use the chaos and smoke to conceal his presence, further disrupt the battlefield, and undermine the Han army's organization, thereby creating a multi-against-one situation to quickly break the Han army's fighting will and effectively annihilate their manpower.

However, stepping onto the broken city wall bricks and looking at the princess guards who had restored order and defenses a dozen steps away, Sakala's expression turned much uglier. But then, seeing the more orderly soldiers behind the princess guards, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the daytime rotation of attacks allowed the opponent to prepare for rest and rotation, which is why they were able to maintain their current discipline and organization." Thinking of this possibility, Sakala felt much less pressure.

I would rather believe that the Han army was well-prepared and thus possessed such organizational capabilities than believe that the Han army could recover such a high level of organization and coordination under such an unexpected attack.

Because of this latter situation, no legion in the entire Kushan army could do this, including the Peacock Legion.

Preconceived notions naturally eliminate this possibility, thus leading to the deduction of another possible method based on everything that is already available.

"Kill!" Sakala, who was already prepared, was naturally decisive. He led his soldiers and jumped down from the ruins. Using the effect of his Divine Speed ​​talent, he entered the battlefield in the shortest time and ignored the influence of the surrounding terrain. At the same time, he acted as the vanguard and led the army in.

If they can embed their army into the defenses, then the Han army's proud defenses will be nothing more than waiting to die.

Without the towering city walls, the princess's guard could only rely on their existing strength to deal with the effect of the walls' collapse, which boosted the morale of the Kushan army.

The Kshatriya warriors' sharp scimitars attacked the guards from tricky angles. Under the cover of night, and with the effects of their Divine Speed ​​talent, they displayed various tricky angle techniques to the fullest.

However, faced with such a highly skilled offensive tactic, the princess guard soldiers almost simultaneously parried, drew the enemy's attention, deflected attacks, or swerved their scimitars, striking the enemy and then launching a counterattack.

Some of the guards, with teammates nearby, even exposed weaknesses, luring the enemy to attack before launching a counterattack under their comrades' cover. Having withstood shield bashes, sharp strikes, infiltration attacks, and will-based attacks, the princess's guards have experienced virtually every type of attack in the world, making them exceptionally skilled in blocking and defense.

Even if blocking techniques are ineffective, the adaptive ability provides immunity or reduction against most types of damage.

The damage that the Kshatriya warrior legion can inflict is basically limited to stabbing and slashing at the weak points of their armor.

However, the Kshatriya warriors' formidable offensive power often failed to penetrate the true defenses of the princess's own armor, and even when they found weak points in the armor, it was difficult to deliver a fatal blow.

As for the princess guards, who were already aware of the weak points in their armor, they naturally wouldn't forget about protection and defense.

As a result, the Kshatriya warrior legion, which outnumbered the rest, failed to advance an inch after engaging in combat and contact, and was firmly blocked outside the battle line.

"Damn it, these tortoise shells!" Sakala cursed on the spot, then unleashed his divine blessing, enveloping the soldiers of the entire legion, further enhancing their reaction speed and combat effectiveness. At the same time, he took the lead, attempting to disrupt and impact the current Han army's battle lines.

Even now, Sakala still can't understand how the Han Empire could place such a super heavy infantry in the first fortress. Surely the other fortresses in the East couldn't be idiots and ignore such an army.
Zhao Kuang, who was initially quite worried, noticed the enemy's vanguard—the position where Saqqara was leading the charge—after the Kushan army failed to break through the defensive line immediately.

"To capture the enemy, capture their leader; first blunt their attack, then you can hold out for a long time!" Recalling what he had learned, Zhao Kuang picked up the spear beside him and led his squad toward the area where Sakarala was located.

Zhao Kuang's thousand-man squad, numbering less than a thousand, was naturally unable to hold back the entire defensive line after the city wall collapsed. The current temporary defensive line was merely an emergency measure.

To truly defend against the enemy for an extended period, it is necessary to consolidate troops, reduce the area of ​​engagement, allow soldiers to rotate, thereby reducing physical exhaustion and extending the duration of the battle.

However, precisely for this purpose, we cannot retreat at this time, because once we retreat, it will be difficult to maintain a neat and orderly defensive line.

Ultimately, it was within a fortress, not on a battlefield in the open.

In the open battlefield where there are no obstacles, they can fight and retreat while shrinking their defensive lines. However, inside this chaotic fortress, Zhao Kuang had no confidence at all.

During this period, their understanding of the fortress was limited to its general terrain and layout; they knew very little else.

Therefore, in the current situation, if we want to retreat and protect the defensive line, either the enemy retreats, giving them some time to react, or Yuyao, which is in the rear, can rebuild the defensive line before their front-line troops begin to retreat.

There was no other choice. (End of Chapter)
