Chapter 744: Fierce Battle
"Everyone, the other party has fallen into a trap. As long as we hold on, victory will surely belong to us!"
The moment Zhang Su and others were awakened, they started to change the weather and push for rain as quickly as possible. The rainy season had been suppressed by them for too long. When they started to push for rain, a drizzle began to fall almost instantly.
"Hold on!"
The Kushans were not at all surprised at the change in the Han Dynasty, as they had demonstrated this ability before.
"Karna, dispel this rain and fog!"
Arvind gave the order immediately. They must not delay the offensive due to the weather. They must not let go of this opportunity that they had finally obtained.
"O Sun! Submit to death!"
The majestic power of the sun emanated from Karna's body, and a light gun made purely of light appeared in Karna's hand.
The thrown light gun was not fast at all, but it shone firmly in the sky, directly evaporating the rain clouds.
A small sun hung in the sky, as if he were the sun.
After delivering the blow, Karna staggered and fell to the ground.
"It's the rainy season in this area. My solar power won't last long. I have to speed up!"
Arvind didn't say anything after hearing this. It was enough to do this before the clouds were completely sealed.
However, as a northern noble who had lived in the harsh desert west and north of Peshawar all year round, Arvind had no idea what the so-called rainy season symbolized.
However, Karna's words still made him speed up his attack.
"kill!"
Meng Huo rushed out of the camp, picked up his weapons, formed a battle formation based on tents, and quickly met the Patta armored regiment rushing out of the city of Varanasi.
The movement of more than 10,000 people in the city of Purpura was too loud, and the Han Dynasty had already made preparations.
Niranjan, who was still standing on the top of the city, frowned and found that things were not simple. There was an entire Han army blocking the gate of Purpura. This was within his expectations. After all, the strength of the Han Dynasty was there, and he realized that it was reasonable to attack from both sides.
If the Han Dynasty didn't notice it, he would think it was a trap. This shows their high recognition of the Han Dynasty.
However, even though the Han Dynasty responded perfectly, Niranjan was not panicked at all. Some things cannot be changed just by knowing them.
The soldiers standing on the city wall had long been replaced by young and strong men who were urgently recruited. As for the soldiers who were really capable of fighting, they were transferred by Niranjan through the back door, making a roundabout way to stab the Han Dynasty in the back.
However, Nilanjan saw the Han army's calm and unhurried actions, which were to unite into various tents and then form a military formation to block the east of the city gate.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. After the Han army began to mobilize, Niranjan quickly realized where the discord lay.
"It's a wise choice, but only more than 10,000 people are left. I feel like I'm being looked down upon!" Niranjan sneered.
The Han army's deployment was correct. There was no problem in concentrating firepower to snipe the Kushan army on the other side, but leaving only this number of people behind to hold them back was simply a daydream.
"It seems that my ability to defend the city gave the Han army a wrong prediction!"
Nilanjan said with a sneer that he had endured all kinds of provocations from the Han Dynasty before, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the Han Dynasty did not take him seriously at all.
"Speed up the exit from the city and send the Han army on their way!"
Following Niranjan's order, the Pattho Armored Corps directly pushed aside other legions and took the lead in gathering outside. They wanted to prove the reputation of their Pattho Armored Corps with practical actions.
Nilanjan knew that the Han troops left behind must be elite troops, but he didn't care because their Patta Armored Regiment was the elite among the elite.
Moreover, Nilanjan had made two preparations. What he had to do now was to attract the attention of the remaining Han troops. As long as the Han army was too distracted, the cavalry he arranged to attack from the south gate would deal a truly fatal blow to the Han army.
As the purest northern nobleman, Niranjan certainly knew how to use cavalry, and he used it well.
There are cavalry in the city of Purpura, although not many, but it is not a problem to backstab a legion with exposed backs.
On the other side, Meng Huo, who was responsible for the defense, also sneered twice. If they didn't have the ability, how could they be appointed to this place.
After losing the last battle, he learned from his mistakes and gathered all the elite of the elite, and trained for a long time according to the training method of rattan armor soldiers provided by Wutugu.
He made it clear today that no Kushan soldier could slip through his defense line. This was the oath that the men of the barbarian continent had written with their lives.
The Han Dynasty gave too much, but their performance was too poor. Meng Huo was very dissatisfied. He thought they should not be so weak and they needed a result.
The new vine armored soldiers are a new army forged by Meng Huo by combining the heritage of all the barbarians from the thirteen cave masters, the Meng Huo tribe, the Wuguo Kingdom, and the Zhurong tribe. Although it is still imperfect, there is no way for the lower-level barbarian soldiers to learn it.
However, relying on the huge base screening, Meng Huo still created a legion of 10,000 guards.
All the rattan armor soldiers stood there like iron towers without any movement. Holding large shields, they were going to serve as the Great Wall of Steel today.
Niranjan looked at the iron barrier blocking his way with a solemn expression, but he said nothing. It had come to this point, and it would be futile to say anything. The rest could only be told with swords.
"Ding-ling-clang~"
The rain of arrows from both sides had no effect at all, but neither side cared. It was just a way to determine the other side's composition.
Through the rain of arrows, both sides knew very well that the other side was of the same kind. Precisely because they were of the same kind, they needed a collision to determine the winner.
The distance of more than a hundred steps passed in a flash, and both sides picked up their most powerful weapons and rushed out with roars.
"Luckily I brought a hand hammer and a hand axe, otherwise today would be a real hassle!"
Niranjan looked at the fighting situation with great inner calm. Fortunately, he thought of the possibility of defensive troops, otherwise it would be quite difficult for them to break out today.
The two sides collided fiercely. The junk weapons such as short spears and short swords had long been thrown out as projectiles, and heavy weapons became the focus of the fight between the two sides.
"It's troublesome. We can't tell the winner in such a short time!"
Nilanjan's face immediately turned gloomy. The Patto Armored Corps had the advantage, but it was not a big advantage. The large shields in the opponents' hands that had no cost-effectiveness at all were too strong. They were not equipped with weapons specifically for breaking shields, and the striking effects of hand hammers, gauntlets and the like were not significant.
It would also take time for the cavalry he relied on to take a detour. He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the opponent in a short period of time and could not bring further pressure to the Han Dynasty.
In a place like a battlefield, delay could lead to unexpected events, and Niranjan didn't want to gamble on whether there would be any unexpected events later.
