Chapter 633: Carrying the Glory of the Empire
Soon, all the advantageous points of the Parthian army were strongly resisted by the Han army, and even with the continuous small-scale stabbing counterattacks, the Parthian army was temporarily exhausted.
Xu Rong no longer controlled his troops to evade actively, but began to command his troops to encircle and quickly cut off the connection between part of the Parthian legion and the overall army.
But Xu Rong did not take any further action, but instead placed the outcome of the war on Di Qing who was at the front line.
"You actually put the winning hand on me?" Di Qing felt the pressure almost instantly.
The focus of the entire battlefield is on him. If he wins, he will win big; if he loses, he will lose big.
This inexplicable pressure made Di Qing excited. He liked the feeling of walking on the tip of a knife.
Di Qing's legion talent is suitable for the night environment. After being used during the day, the effect is not greatly enhanced.
On the other hand, Yupal and Achaemeni's talents are very suitable for the Undead Guards and Undead King Knights.
Moreover, they are all imperial guards, and are several times more powerful than Di Qing's main force.
However, the huge gap in weapons and armor between the two sides made the combat effectiveness of the two sides barely maintain on the same level, and the casualties on both sides were not many.
One side has terrible recovery ability, while the other side has super strong defense ability.
"Huh... Xu Rong is really bold!"
"We must win. We have come this far. A miracle doesn't seem so far-fetched!" Di Qing looked up and saw that the war had come to this point, so the only thing they could do was move forward.
"This is my first battle, I can't lose!" Di Qing calmed his inner restlessness and looked at the tense situation with a smile on his face.
The closer he got to the end, the more he understood the value of this battle.
Using two talents to defeat three talents is a path that has been verified by Huo Qubing and will definitely achieve miracles.
Although his opponent does not have three talents, generally speaking, he should meet the requirements. However, it is precisely this kind of ambiguous situation that makes him unsure whether he can really perform a miracle.
“Give it a try!”
Suddenly, Di Qing put down all his burdens. Since there was no way to retreat, he decided to give it a try.
Di Qing suddenly unleashed his talent. The effect of the talent was useless, but he wanted to use this method to mobilize the clouds.
Following Di Qing's actions, the Han Dynasty's clouds, which had originally been mixed with the Parthian army's clouds, suddenly became clearly distinguished.
But it only lasted for a moment, and then they mixed together again.
Di Qing seized this opportunity and directly transformed the army's original cloud blessing, and the atmosphere instantly became eerie.
There was no need for command at all. The two sides had been fighting for a long time and were already as powerful as dragons.
The moment Di Qing ignited the outbreak, both sides instantly started a real war.
You must know that the five barracks trained by Di Qing were mainly combat-oriented, rather than a completely defensive force.
It's just because they are strong that they can rely on the power of their equipment. The real Five Barracks is designed to chop down the charging cavalry head-on.
After Di Qing transformed the cloud energy blessing, the soldiers of the fifth barracks no longer adopted a defensive posture, but drew out their axes and began to hack and kill frantically.
Both sides were strong heavy infantry, and the power they unleashed was terrifying.
"cut!"
The soldiers of the Fifth Barracks felt their bodies slowing down. Their endless strength was restricted by their bodies and they could not move forward no matter what they did.
The feeling of being unable to exert their strength filled the soldiers of the Fifth Barracks with anger. They could be stronger!
"Cut! Chop! Chop!"
The feeling that they should be able to exert greater power but are unable to do so makes the soldiers of the Fifth Barracks feel extremely angry.
They continued to swing the axes with all their might, but no matter how many times they tried, they were unable to break free of the shackles on their bodies. They could only roar and launch stronger attacks at the restraints again and again.
After an incense stick of time passed, the attack that had originally erupted gradually became slower, and the violent outburst did not allow the soldiers of the Fifth Barracks to break free from their restraints.
On the contrary, the Undead Guards and the Undead King's Knights withstood the outburst of the soldiers from the Fifth Barracks and now began to counterattack.
Yupal and Achaemeni were also elites, and the anger of being suppressed by their double talents made them begin to explode.
Both sides began to explode in madness, fighting each other in ecstasy.
The three defensive troops, who were supposed to focus on defense and containment, were now fighting frantically.
The momentum of both sides continued to rise. Sometimes the five barracks overwhelmed the undead soldiers, and sometimes the undead soldiers counterattacked the five barracks. Even during the third attack, the two sides simply joined together and no longer separated.
The two sides were so crazy about killing that they ignored the entire battlefield. In their eyes, only each other was their biggest opponent.
The crazy and bloody battle even made the Han and Parthian soldiers fighting in the surrounding areas feel terrified.
Another stick of incense time passed, and nearly a thousand people from both sides lay dead forever.
When both sides tacitly stopped and began to reorganize their troops' formation.
Di Qing discovered that at this point, there were only less than 4,000 men left under his command, while he originally had a full legion of 6,000.
What’s worse is that the two opposing legions probably have more than 9,000 people combined.
Looking at the fallen soldiers, Di Qing's eyes became more and more fierce, and his hand holding the spear tightened three times. He could clearly feel that his troops were getting stronger.
But the degree of strength increase was too small, far from enough to support them to win this crazy war.
And the other party is not standing still. While they are making progress, the other party is also making progress.
Achaemeni and Yupal on the other side looked at each other in bewilderment. It had come to this point, and they could no longer be sure that the other side was just a double-talented legion.
The brutal battle had already made them regard the other side as an equal opponent. Because of the other side's terrifying attack capability, they were even more willing to believe that the other side was a stronger force.
"Ardashir, you've come just in time. Let's work together to destroy this legion!" Suddenly, Achaemeni's eyes lit up.
Di Qing didn't need to confirm, he knew that his soldiers had begun to waver. This was human instinct. If the formation was not reorganized before, all the soldiers would still be in a state of madness and chaos, and they would not waver at all.
But since they have fought their way out and are still alive, those soldiers who lay down forever will definitely make the living soldiers feel scared, making it more difficult for them to return to the state they were in just now.
What's worse is that the other side has come to support them, but they are now isolated and helpless.
This terrible situation even caused some soldiers to become shaken.
"You have served the country with sincerity, and the country has treated you with honesty. Now you should die for your country!" Di Qing's deep voice made all the soldiers feel awe-inspiring.
After saying this, Di Qing rushed out first.
At this moment, the Han army had less than 4,000 soldiers, while with the arrival of Ardashir, the number of opponents even exceeded 12,000. They were facing an enemy that was three times their number.
As Di Qing galloped on his horse, the soldiers following him were like a flood that had been released from a dam. A wave with overwhelming momentum rushed towards the newly arrived Holy Fallen Cavalry.
The commander- in- without fear, so why shouldn't we follow him? The Han Empire raised us, so we should fight for our country!
As long as the country is there, there is no need to worry about what will happen after your death.
Come fight!
Become aware of the fear and then let go of it.
At this moment, the momentum of Di Qing's troops when they took action directly raised it to a level far beyond what it had been before.
Any enemy who stands before me will die!
Different from the previous feeling of restraint, different from the previous feeling of powerlessness.
This time, the momentum of Di Qing's troops directly cut off everything. A surging force suddenly surged out, and all the soldiers seemed to have realized something. They roared and vented all their strength.
"Break it for me!"
The soldiers had completely put aside their lives and deaths and were ready to sacrifice everything for their country . Even the Holy Fallen Knights carefully trained by Ardashir were shocked.
Different from their avoidance behavior in the face of danger, the legion in front of them still fought desperately even when facing three times as many enemies and even when they knew they would die.
Ardashir stared blankly at the Fifth Barracks which easily defeated the Undead Guards and the Undead King Knights, and then rushed towards the Holy Fallen Knights. He seemed to understand something in his heart, but he could not grasp the inspiration.
The Fifth Barracks, which had accumulated strength over time, finally took the most critical step.
"Hahaha, it works. Di Qing really doesn't disappoint us!" Xu Rong laughed wildly and clapped his hands in praise, then began to mobilize the troops rapidly.
The originally peaceful battlefield underwent earth-shaking changes with the promotion of the Fifth Barracks.
The battlefield was directly divided into two parts: the Parthian Guards who were surrounded and isolated, and the Parthian ordinary army who were denied entry and unable to support the Guards.
Ju Yi also led the vanguard to start attacking, and thousands of arrows flew towards the separated troops.
The extremely strong striking ability made the Parthian soldiers in the covered area fall down one after another like wheat being cut.
The number of casualties in the Parthian army was soaring at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.
Ahar held a long spear and slashed at Xu Huang fiercely. As an opponent he had met once before, he was confident that he could kill Xu Huang this time.
Last time he was helpless after being suppressed by Xu Huang's three axes, but this time he came prepared.
Who would have thought that Xu Huang completely ignored the long spear in Ahar's hand and directly swung the wheel axe at Ahar.
This style of fighting that costs lives at the cost of injuries instantly made Ahar lose his composure. He did not expect that Xu Huang, who was steady and cautious last time, would...
The first move in this meeting would be a life-and-death battle with him. In a hurry, he could only return to defend, and then frantically activate his Acalanatha Dharma Image, trying to resist Xu Huang's attack.
Xu Huang didn't care and chopped down with his axe. The unstoppable force instantly destroyed Ahar's Acalanatha image and chopped hard on Ahar's long spear.
Just when Ahar was about to readjust his strategy and kill Xu Huang, he suddenly felt a pain.
The pain spread throughout his entire body from top to bottom.
At that moment, Ahar's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had actually been cut in half by Xu Huang. If it weren't for the extremely terrifying recovery ability of his internal energy leaving the body, he would have been cut in half by now.
“This is impossible!”
Ahar's hands and feet were cold. He didn't understand why his opponent, who was evenly matched with him last time, suddenly became so terrifying this time.
After only the first move in the fight, his life is already in danger.
Ahar was scared. It seemed that he shouldn't have come to him on his own initiative to face such terrifying fighting power.
“Die!”
Xu Huang sneered and had no interest in explaining to Ahar.
After awakening, he made rapid progress in spiritual cultivation and now has one foot halfway into the door of breaking through the world. There is no way Ahar could possibly fool him.
If Ahar hadn't come over so arrogantly, he might not have been able to defeat this opponent.
But this guy actually thought that he had no intention of making any progress and wanted to come and kill him to gain military merit.
If it was before he awakened, this guy might have succeeded.
But now, he has a completely different reaction. He can even kill his previous self at a rapid speed, let alone a mere Ahar.
The same situation occurred in every corner of the battlefield. The awakened officers and generals began to counterattack with their troops, and Xu Rong also began to take overall control of the situation.
The left and right wings of the Parthian army were shattered and on the verge of collapse.
The Han Dynasty's plan of near-total annihilation made them extremely passive. What was even worse was that many of the enemy's generals actually began to break through on the battlefield at this time.
Fars Sassan's face was extremely solemn, but he had no other choice but to take a gamble and transfer all the blessings to Ardashir and others.
Since the officers of the Han Dynasty could do it, he believed that their Parthian officers could do the same.
The difference is that the disadvantages of the Han Dynasty were all under the control of Xu Rong, while the disadvantages of Parthia were no longer under the control of Fars Sassanid.
"This battle is a fight to the death!" Babak was the first to blow the horn of counterattack.
Atratome and Ardashir followed suit. They were warriors who had escaped from the brink of death many times. Even if the Han Dynasty was powerful, it still could not defeat them.
Now, the empire needs them to stand up, so naturally they have to stand up without hesitation.
At this moment, machines and tactics have lost their meaning. No extra words are needed to describe them. There is only one kind of competition between the two sides.
That is each person's will, life or death, nothing more.
Swords, spears, and shields have lost their value in this brutal war. The spear can pierce the opponent's body, but the opponent's counterattack can also take the spear's life.
With the empire on our shoulders, we cannot afford to be cowardly. Even if the swords and axes are used more forcefully, we will still kill our way through the obstacles ahead.
There is no reason, and no reason is needed.
We bear the rise and fall of the empire on our shoulders, so we should fight with all our might.
