Chapter 712 Rahul's Thoughts
Any terrible means that can suddenly create a blank on the battle line will make the surviving soldiers feel awe, even the well-trained soldiers of the Han Dynasty are no exception.
However, their instincts are still there, and practicing military orders into an instinct is something that almost every unit will do, and it is also the biggest difference between regular soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers.
The biggest problem was that the sudden attack destroyed the Han Dynasty's formation.
You have to know that formation is the most important thing in large-scale army operations. Once the formation is completely broken, the outcome of a battle is basically determined.
When the spear with high temperature and visual distortion fell into the formation, several masters of internal energy arranged by Rahul immediately burst out with all their fighting power, their own blessings from gods and Buddhas, their own elite headquarters, and all that they could burst out.
Under the leadership of five people with internal energy leaving their bodies, they pierced into the Han army's line like sharp blades.
Roaring and roaring, five soldiers with internal energy leaving their bodies as the vanguard charged directly into the Han army's line.
The defense line arranged by Yan Yan was directly shattered by the dual means of crossbows and elite assaults.
Afterwards, countless Kushan regular soldiers marched straight in, and the Han army's huge defensive line was torn to pieces in an instant. The entire legion was forcibly cut off before they could react, and many Han soldiers who had no idea what was happening were directly dispersed by the Kushans.
"Let it in!" Yan Yan looked at the torn battle line, his face showing no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. After seeing Peacock's attack last time, he knew that this scene was inevitable.
So he had already built three lines of defense, and the one that was torn apart just now was only the first one.
If you want to defeat him with this method alone, you are underestimating him. This method alone is far from enough.
As long as he cannot be completely defeated, no matter how strong the explosive power is, he can hold on to the basics. It's just a question of whether it's worth it.
The war drums roared, and the Han army and the Kushan army engaged in an all-out battle.
For a moment, the entire battlefield erupted in various roars, sword rain cover, sword and shield soldiers atlas, and spearmen filling in the gun formation like a hedgehog.
Then Yan Yan and Rahul, who were in the command position, knew very well that the so-called all-out engagement was just an illusion, because neither Yan Yan nor Rahul had used their full strength, and the reserve teams of both sides had not pressed forward. More importantly, even until now, there had been no so-called battlefield infiltration between the two sides.
In other words, both the Han army and the Kushans maintained control over their legions and fronts. Although the current battle seems dangerous, it is actually very easy for both sides to leave the battlefield. They can easily escape from the war by paying a small price.
As the Han army's war drums roared, Rahul clearly felt that the right-wing army's attack was successful, but this success had no effect at all. Instead, it brought the battle back to the starting line.
"Interesting. I didn't expect that the Han Dynasty had so many talented generals. Whether it was the one in the central army or the black-haired general before, they were all rare generals . Now this one has even figured out the art of commanding a legion. He's really not simple!"
Rahul glanced in other directions and thought with some surprise.
He couldn't help but think of Northern Gui. Many of the officers and soldiers had some good command abilities, while most of the Southern Gui were generals who simply executed orders and were far from being able to command independently.
There were only a few people who were capable of doing anything, and Guan Yu had killed one of them and captured another.
He had let Durga take command before in order to train Durga.
Rahul knew very well why this situation occurred. What the Brahmins needed were a group of obedient people, and the commander needed his own independent will, so it was difficult for Nangui to produce a commander.
This was also an important reason why Rahul betrayed his own class and defected to Vesudeva I. It was only a matter of time before Nangui was completely annexed, and he was unwilling to stay on a broken ship that was about to sink.
"However, the probing is almost done. The general named Guan Yu is not here. He should be behind our army now? I don't know how he did it, but he underestimated me, Rahul!"
Rahul looked at the Han army maintaining the battle line with cold eyes. The generals and officers of the Han Dynasty were indeed good, but they were far inferior to him.
Although he was also a self-taught commander, it was enough for him to crush Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and the others.
By the way, Rahul guessed Guan Yu's location. An 80% chance that he was leading his troops in a corner of the Kushan camp, and a 20% chance that he was leading his troops to wipe out Shuguang. However, no matter which one it was, it meant that the Han Dynasty's frontal battlefield strength would basically not change.
After figuring out the structure of the Han Dynasty, Rahul went all in.
Every commander is a gambler. The only difference is the number of cards he has in his hand. Some gamblers dare to go all in if they have a 30% chance of winning, while some gamblers think it is suicide if they round up to 90% chance of winning.
Commanders of different styles have different control over the battlefield, but they all have only one thing in common: they dare to gamble.
Those who are afraid to gamble will never achieve anything.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, defeated the two heroes in one battle, Emperor Wu of Han used all the national strength to defeat the Xiongnu, and Zhu Yuanzhang fought against Chen Youliang from south to north...
All the big guys who can become famous will tell you one thing: if you want to win, you have to become a gambler.
And Rahul is the biggest gambler among gamblers . After confirming the strength of the Han Dynasty, he went all in.
Of course, this is also due to his confidence in his own strength. An 80% certainty is enough for him to put everything on the line.
"Peacock, take action. I want to see if this battle line can be maintained without you!"
Rahul had a sharp eye and could immediately see through the reason why the right wing defense was so tenacious.
So he unceremoniously ordered Peacock to launch the last attack. He knew very well that for this half-disabled Peacock, two rounds in two days was already the limit. If he fired one more round, these soldiers would suffer irreversible damage.
In fact, in his plan, winning or losing this battle is not important. He just wants a high-intensity war to hone his legion.
Anyway, all these areas were Nangui's previously expanded territories, so there's no need to feel bad about throwing them all away. It would be great if I could just send those Brahmin bastards to death. Then, with his reputation, he would be happy to be the boss of Nangui.
Nangui's broken ship is about to sink, and Rahul is no fool.
In other words, losing would actually consolidate his position, allowing him to continue to command the army and have more time to control the army and completely eliminate the Brahmins who had sneaked in.
To keep an enemy in reserve for one's own protection is the same throughout history, both in China and abroad.
Especially Rahul, who had been cheated on once, understood even more the importance of the military power in his hands.
However, if he can win, Rahul doesn't want to lose. Anyway, the main purpose is to train the soldiers and consolidate the military power.
