Chapter 3340 Relieving the Commander's Pressure

...

Serona was well aware of the problem that Gachali had mentioned, but after taking a closer look at Ma Chao, who was attacking recklessly in the distance, he still had some doubts.

The Han army losing a fierce general who charges into battle is like losing a sharp spearhead. From any perspective, it's not a bad thing for them, right?
"Compared to the enemy forces that are visible to the naked eye, I am actually more worried about the enemies coming from within our own ranks. I'm so busy commanding that I simply don't have time to pay attention to those..." In response to Serona's doubts, Gachelri still gave a simple explanation amidst his busy schedule, describing the reasons behind it.

Having received an explanation, Serona no longer focused her attention on the enemy, but instead turned her gaze to the Yuezhi people around her.

Compared to the uncertainty of killing Han generals, the potential chaos and turmoil that could erupt internally is far more dangerous.

With a sense of unease about the internal situation, Serona stayed by Gachori's side, watching Gachori do his best to command the troops to resist and rebuild the army's organization. He couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope that Serona would shatter the Han army's expectations.

Neither the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's violent advance, nor the expansion of Ma Chao, Pang De, and others, nor the all-out efforts of the Gachali, could affect Cao Cao at this time.

Once Cao Cao made up his mind, he possessed the courage and determination to carry it out.

He personally led all his cavalry mobile forces, including mounted infantry, and charged south at top speed, ignoring some small-scale harassment, thus arriving at the battlefield where Moroa was located without wasting too much time.

For Moroya himself, he had only been leading his army to resist the Han army for a few hours. He had finally managed to endure until nightfall, when it was not a good time for his surprise attack force to make its move, when the Han army's reinforcements suddenly appeared.

Moroya, witnessing this scene, felt a chill run through him.

They thought they could hold out until nightfall and then use the darkness to retreat at their leisure. Who would have thought that the Han army's reinforcements would arrive at this time?

"General, should we retreat?" Moroya's deputy general, Krilo, also saw the Han army reinforcements in the distance. He frowned as he looked at Moroya, his voice filled with deep worry.

Everything was going smoothly, and they had successfully stalled until nightfall, but the current situation didn't look like a safe retreat at all.

"Never mind, let's gamble!" Looking at his own troops, which had already suffered heavy losses, Moroya glanced at the massive Han reinforcements and nodded firmly. He then added, "Send word to Commander Gachali that the Han reinforcements have arrived. Our army is doing everything in its power to stop them, but the time we can hold them off..."

Upon hearing his general's words, Krilo fell silent, looked at Moroya with some hesitation, and slowly nodded.

With things having come to this point, there wasn't much more Krilo could say. He could only obey Moroa's arrangements and do his best.

Having abandoned all its original plans and preparations for retreat, Moroya, who was now reorganizing its forces to fight with all its might, knew very well that the time it could hold out was actually not long.

Unable to stop the elite cavalry of the Han army, they were only entangled with the auxiliary cavalry of the Han army. In less than a few hours, their own casualties had exceeded half. Even if they did not retreat, how long could they hold out?

"Are there such loyal troops among the Yuezhi?" Cao Cao, who arrived at the battlefield with his follow-up troops, glanced at the situation and was immediately struck by a sense of admiration for their talent, saying with some praise.

While his inability to halt the advance of his elite cavalry was indeed due to a lack of strength, his unwavering efforts to hold off other troops after the enemy had crossed his lines demonstrate his unwavering loyalty. A mere preliminary assessment of the strength of Moroya's soldiers reveals that it was virtually impossible for such a force to stop an elite army like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

But what came into view was a situation that even Cao Cao found quite surprising.

Originally, it was thought that the Yuezhi army had already left, but now they are still putting up a last-ditch resistance, which is indeed quite impressive.

"After all, it can be called an empire, and its people are those who study diligently and assiduously. It's understandable that they have such a character and fighting spirit." Xi Zhong glanced at the battlefield and described it based on the actual situation, trying not to be too biased.

"Even in remote and desolate places, loyal men can emerge." Cao Cao glanced around and sighed softly. Then, his expression changed, and he said in a passionate tone, "However, as opponents, the best way to show respect is to respect each other. Xiahou Dun, Ma Dai, listen to my command: kill!"

As the order was given, Xiahou Dun and Ma Dai, who had been standing beside Cao Cao, led their troops on horseback and charged straight at the infantry under Moroya's command.

Two cavalry legions were drawn from our main army to attack the Moroja infantry, not only to end the war more quickly, but also to ensure the safety of the rear and eliminate this huge threat.

Normally, Cao Cao, with his follow-up troops, should have completely dealt with Moroya's forces before heading south; that would have been the safest course of action.

However, none of this mattered to Cao Cao, who had made up his mind.

"The entire army is advancing south at full speed. Time is of the essence for our army, and there can be no delay." As the commander-in-chief of this army, Cao Cao ignored the fact that the Moroya infantry had not yet been eliminated and might block his army's retreat. He led the remaining troops and headed south at full speed.

Moroya, who also witnessed all of this, felt a burning pain on his face, but there was absolutely nothing he could do.

Most of the Han army simply ignored him, and he had no way to do anything about it, not even to retaliate.

The cavalry units that split off were already a fatal blow to the Moroya Legion, which was struggling to put up a fight.

In this situation, even with the resolve to die, it would be impossible to completely block this valley passage.

By consolidating the army's defensive line and deploying it in a dense formation to defend half of the valley passage, they could at least hold back a portion of the Han army. However, if the entire valley area were to be affected, they would likely be wiped out within a quarter of an hour.

The ability of cavalry to breach a defensive line and the inability of cavalry to breach a defensive line are two completely different concepts.

The former can be wiped out at any time, while the latter has a very high tolerance for error.

All Moroya could do was increase the margin for error to delay the enemy's forces as much as possible, thereby relieving pressure on Commander Gachari in the rear. (End of Chapter)
