God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Faced with the all-out attack from Yuyao and Zhao Kuang, Sakala also chose to retreat briefly, commanding his own army to hold back the enemy's offensive line, while letting Lidas lead the regular army to infiltrate and attack the enemy's organization.

Upon receiving this order, Lidas, after a brief moment of thought, further commanded his army to launch a direct counterattack.

Although ordinary soldiers were unable to break through the princess guard's defenses or inflict effective damage or strikes, their mere presence could always cause trouble for the enemy.

Especially after the Han army demonstrated its offensive capabilities in terms of willpower, Lidas became even more convinced of the correctness of this attack method.

By wearing down the enemy's willpower and resilience, it becomes easier for Sakarala to command the Kshatriya warrior legion to annihilate the enemy.

It doesn't matter how many ordinary soldiers die; as many as they die, we can replace them. After all, we can't kill all the lowly people, so we can't exhaust their resources.

However, the soldiers of the Kshatriya warrior legion are different. Kshatriyas who voluntarily join the army are not someone you can just have whenever you want.

The mere fact that it's voluntary indicates that the number of participants is definitely small, and if the losses are too great, replenishing the ranks will be extremely difficult.

At that time, the power of the entire South will be further weakened.

This is not a good thing for them.

After all, once the South is reorganized and reorganized, it will most likely have to confront the North again. Without elite troops, the defeat will only be more humiliating.

Almost all southern generals were aware of this, so in the process of commanding battles, the elite Peacock Legion and Kshatriya Warrior Legion were often treated and protected in a special way.

Under this special treatment and protection, the Kshatriya warrior legion preserved its complete combat organization and size.

However, due to the relatively few intense wars, its potential has not been fully realized.

"Even if you want to die together with me, I won't give you that chance. End up in despair." After receiving a large number of regular soldiers rushing in, Sakala looked at Zhao Kuang with a relaxed expression and a light laugh, making no attempt to hide his smugness.

The more arrogant you are, the more you can provoke the other party, and the angrier the other party is, the stronger the power they unleash, and the more terrifying the consumption will be.

When the enemy's strength is depleted to a certain extent, Sakarala will lead his Kshatriya warrior legion to completely annihilate them.

And at this time, east of the fortress.

After defeating the combined attack of the northern and southern armies head-on, Ma Zhong showed no joy. Looking at the distant city wall to the west, he shouted, "Yang Mao, unleash your full potential and get the army moving! We don't need to capture soldiers; we must reach the fortress as quickly as possible."

After lightly wiping the blood-stained blade clean, Yang Mao heard Ma Zhong's voice and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.

They were marching from east to west, which was originally just a normal marching route, but they were attacked from both the north and south by the Kushan army, which even included elephant troops.

If it weren't for their superior strength and the extremely reliable organization of their small group, they might have perished here. Fortunately, thanks to the accurate responses of each centurion, they unleashed their individual strength and completely crushed these two miscellaneous infantry units.

However, after such a war, the troops are more or less exhausted. In addition, they are fully armored and do not even rest before carrying out long-distance marches. Is this right?

"Didn't you hear me?" Ma Zhong asked, frowning, seeing that Yang Mao hadn't responded for a moment.

“Our army has been marching day and night, and now we have fought a battle that lasted for several hours. Our physical strength is extremely depleted. Under these circumstances, I am afraid that the army will not be able to withstand the full force of the army’s talents during the march.” Yang Mao took a deep breath and raised the dilemma he was facing in front of Ma Zhong.

Yang Mao was naturally very clear about the effects of his legion's talent.

When fully unleashed, the Legion's talents can grant the army a higher marching speed, even allowing heavy infantry to match the speed of light infantry, and light infantry to catch up with heavy cavalry.

With this speed boost, the entire guard's movement speed was in no way inferior to that of regular heavy cavalry.

Combined with its own equipment, it is extremely effective in ramming, dividing the battlefield, or maneuvering and changing formations. However, the cost is that its stamina will be consumed more quickly.

Given his already severely depleted physical strength, maintaining the Legion Talent for extended marches presents Yang Mao with a significant number of negative effects that he must consider.

"Can't hold on?" Ma Zhong gave Yang Mao a deep look, then glanced at the other soldiers present.

From the faces of these soldiers, Ma Zhong saw exhaustion, the state of those who had expended a great deal of physical strength.

With Yang Mao's Legion talent activated, he ran day and night in full armor for a whole day, and then defeated a Kushan army of 20,000 men within three hours. The physical exertion involved was unimaginable.

"Even if you can't hold on, you have to. Activate your talents and start running!" Seeing the exhaustion on the soldiers' faces, Ma Zhong hesitated for a moment, but then, looking at the Kushan soldiers who had already been killed, he made a decisive choice.

The Kushan Empire had a backup plan, and it was definitely not as simple as they imagined. Yu Yao and Zhao Kuang were indeed very strong, but the Kushan Empire's backup plan was definitely not something that could be defeated by two thousand-man teams. In fact, annihilating them would not be difficult.

“But…” Yang Mao noticed the hesitation in Ma Zhong’s eyes and immediately wanted to explain.

The thousand-man units commanded by Yuyao and Zhao Kuang might not be able to defeat the large number of Kushan troops in a normal encounter, but with the strong city wall defenses of the First Fortress, what problem could there be in holding out for a period of time?
Putting himself in Yang Mao's shoes, if he had tens of thousands of elite troops but only his own 1,000-strong unit, he was confident he could hold out for several days.

Yu Yao and Zhao Kuang, who are stronger than him, have talents that are more suited to combat, and they will only last longer than him.

"Execute the order! Even if it means running yourself to death, you must reach the fortress before dawn!" Seeing that Yang Mao was about to speak again to remind him, Ma Zhong drew his sword and reiterated the order.

Yang Mao, noticing the sword, immediately narrowed his eyes. He then gave Ma Zhong a deep look and replied firmly, "Yes, even if we run until we die, we will reach the fortress before dawn."

In an hour, covering a distance of forty li, Yang Mao glanced at Wang Meng.

Under his gaze, Wang Meng unleashed his Legion Talent, enveloping the entire army. (End of Chapter)
