Chapter 944 Who Dares to Kill Me
"Report, General, our army's flank was attacked by a small group of enemies!" The messenger brought Brach some very bad news.
"Do you know who the ambushing enemy is?" Brach asked calmly. The ambush was expected.
"It's the traitor Lydas!" the messenger answered with difficulty.
"Lidas?" Brach was stunned, and then a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Although he was defeated and captured, and was eventually released and redeemed, the whole process was very embarrassing, but he never thought of surrendering.
After all, they were still loyal to the Kushans. People like Lidas who led the rebellion had naturally been on the Kushan blacklist for a long time and were the type of people that Brach hated the most.
"Send two elite legions over there. If he doesn't retreat, kill him directly!"
Brach gave the order grimly. He knew that this was a way to distract their attention, but relatively speaking, it was also an opportunity to clean up the mess.
"Hmph, the Han Dynasty uses some newcomers and traitors to deal with me. This kind of contempt is really unpleasant!" Brach was very unhappy. He felt that he was despised by the Han Dynasty.
Not long ago, he was facing the Galan God Guan Yu, but now he was facing a group of officers he had never heard of, including traitors from their Kushan. It was as if he, Brah, was only worthy of fighting against these people.
After all, he was one of the commanders of the army that marched south. Even if he was defeated, it was only because Guan Yu was too strong.
What's more, there are so many people who have been defeated by Guan Yu. Even Arvind and Rahul almost lost to Guan Yu completely. How could he not be defeated?
Brahe never felt ashamed of losing to Guan Yu. After all, he was the God Galan, and his defeat was not unfair.
"Don't worry about those harassing legion troops, the army will march towards Samata City!"
On the other side, Lidas followed Wei Yan's instructions and quickly retreated under the attack of two elite legions.
"Chase! The traitor must die!" Riddle, the commander of the Sword and Shield Corps, ordered the pursuit without hesitation.
"Could it be a feigned defeat?" The commander of another Scimitar Raider Legion, Walides, hesitated.
"What are you afraid of? If the Han Dynasty really has an ambush, we have a large army behind us, so they will be the ones who will be in trouble!" Riddle said disdainfully.
"You and I can protect ourselves together! Follow me!"
Walides looked at the determined Riddle, and finally nodded and obeyed Riddle.
Born into a low caste, he always felt inferior even after becoming a Kshatriya and a legion commander.
Faced with the insistence of Riddle, who was born into a noble family, he was ultimately unable to voice his concerns and chose to follow Riddle's advice and chase after the fleeing Lidas.
They were very familiar with the nearby terrain, and several places where ambushes could be set were very close to each other. As long as they were not captured in one fell swoop, the reinforcements behind them would arrive soon.
Before they could chase them for twenty miles, Guan Ping rushed out with his elite troops and directly launched several legions to attack.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Riddle, who had anticipated this, did not hesitate at all. He roared and mobilized the clouds, ready to launch a legion attack and counterattack.
Although the Sword and Shield Corps was somewhat confused by the sudden attack, they successfully offset Guan Ping's attack under Riddle's command.
"Retreat!" After Guan Ping launched the legion attack, he turned around and fled with his troops.
"How slippery! Are all the Han people a bunch of loaches?" Riddle was a little angry after being beaten for nothing. Although he did not suffer much damage, the opponent's behavior of leaving after the fight was really annoying.
"Riddle, Lidas just turned around and attacked me. Should we continue chasing him?" Wodlis sent a message to Riddle. He had a bad feeling.
"Chase! The ones who attacked us just now were the retreating legion. Even if those idiots set up an ambush, they can't catch up with us. Once they are blocked, we will send a signal to inform General Brach. We still have the advantage!"
Riddle was very angry and his anger got the better of him, but he did not forget his mission and ensured the stability of the flank.
"We are fighting to drive them away. If they can be attracted by us, it will be good news for General Brach!"
Wadless nodded, and although he was still a little timid, he admitted that Riddle was right and that this was a risk they had to take.
If they get mixed up with the miscellaneous troops, the trouble might be even greater. It is good to let them contain the Han army now.
"Very good, Guan Ping and the others were successful in attracting the crowd, now it's our turn!" Wei Yan watched Riddle and Lidas walking farther and farther away, sneered twice, and then said to the headquarters behind him.
Lidas and the others will eventually evacuate to a place with shield guards, so there is no need to worry about their safety.
After the elite army and the miscellaneous army separated, it was time for him to perform.
"The time is almost up. Guan Xing and others are expected to arrive in an hour. It's time to attack!" Wei Yan calculated the time and it was almost time for Guan Xing and other reinforcements to arrive.
"Attack, hit hard, and make these miscellaneous soldiers collapse!" Wei Yan roared and rushed out at the head of the troops.
Black shadows hovered over them, coming from their talent for replicating Zhang Fei, making each of them exude a formidable aura.
“Kill!”
There is no need for too many words or other descriptions. Wei Yan's troops all roared and charged towards the Kushans. Under Wei Yan's leadership, their momentum was as high as a rainbow.
“What a hassle!”
Brach glanced in the direction of Wei Yan. It was just a legion. It was almost a dream to want to break through so many miscellaneous soldiers.
"Forget it, Pasa, take your men to drive them away and don't let them cause trouble!" Brach casually pointed to a Kushan officer to go and block the way.
This was also the psychological trauma left by Guan Yu's successful surprise attack and beheading. He always felt uneasy when seeing a legion that dared to attack alone.
Originally, the best way at this moment should be to leave some of the low castes behind to fight with the other party, and then let the others head towards Samata City.
In this way, it seemed as if their hands and feet were restrained by the Han army.
When Pasa arrived with his men, Wei Yan was still killing people. When he even saw Pasa's elite troops, he not only did not withdraw, but abandoned those low-caste troops and rushed towards Pasa .
When Pasa saw Wei Yan rushing up to him, he was stunned for a moment, but then he burst into laughter. He didn't expect that the generals of the Han Dynasty were so stupid.
They were a legion that had been driven away, and had fought with the miscellaneous soldiers. Even if they were not exhausted, they had at least expended a lot of energy. On the other hand, they were well-rested and had their physical strength preserved.
Even if Wei Yan's headquarters is stronger, what's the point? His stamina bar is not infinite, and he can still suppress the opponent.
Instead of retreating, the enemy charged towards our army. It was simply a joke.
"Maniac, prepare to die!"
Pasa didn't even think about why Wei Yan was so arrogant, he just led his army forward and rushed forward. He didn't see any reason to lose, on the contrary, he might even get a big advantage.
Following Pasa's order, the Kshatriya warriors led by him launched a direct attack.
Just as he thought, although Wei Yan's headquarters were stronger than theirs, the physical exertion from taking turns was indeed not small. On the other hand, they had just got off the boat and their physical strength was well preserved.
"Hold on, reinforcements are on the way. As long as we can hold out for this period of time, we will win!"
Wei Yan yelled, he found that he seemed to be a little too arrogant. Even if they transferred the elite troops, there were too many elite Kushan troops.
The best-expected situation did not happen, and he still needed to wait for reinforcements before he could complete the outbreak.
"Sure enough, there is not a glimmer of hope!" Wei Yan shook his head and threw all the fancy ideas out of his mind.
There is only one way to fight between empires: a head-on confrontation. The winner stands, the loser lies.
Many of his ideas are too risky, and it is totally undesirable to pin your hopes on the opponent's mistakes.
He took a deep breath and tried hard to coordinate the use of his innate power. Whether he could achieve a complete victory depended on whether his talent for fear could achieve the expected results.
Having given up a talent slot and consuming a lot of physical strength, Wei Yan had an extremely difficult time fighting.
On the contrary, Pasa on the opposite side became more and more excited, and the combat effectiveness of the entire legion was increasing. If Wei Yan could be killed, perhaps another top elite force would be born.
"Guan Xing is here!"
"Guan Suo is here!"
Just when Wei Yan was struggling to hold on, two groups of troops came from afar.
Brach frowned, this was not what he expected. Logically speaking, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty should be rushing to Samata City with all their strength. Why were there reinforcements heading this way?
"We should have sent out elite troops earlier!" Brach felt a little regretful. He guessed that among the young legion commanders just now, there might be someone of noble .
Only this explanation can explain why the Han Dynasty sent people in this direction.
You have to know that the reinforcements he brought down the river were just reinforcements. This time, the Kushans were advancing both by water and by land, and there were also people from other directions going to Samata City to besiege Guan Yu.
The two sides are destined to fight in Samadhira City, and everyone’s target should be Samadhira City.
"Forget it, it's not too late now. I want to see how much power the Han Dynasty is willing to invest in this detachment !"
Brach became serious and mobilized all his elite troops that had not left yet to gather in the direction of Wei Yan.
Brach was not sure how many troops the Han Dynasty had deployed. Having just landed on the beach, he obviously had no way of sending out scouts. He could only make judgments based on his own experience.
Even if there are some high-ranking officers who are worth rescuing, the troops sent by the Han Dynasty will definitely not exceed 50,000. If it is this number, the Kushans will still have a chance of winning.
The existence of the vassal army is destined to give them a huge advantage. As long as they send out the vassal army to wear down the opponent's edge first, the rest will be much easier to fight.
"Send a signal to the sky, telling Riddle and Wardless to return, and this time directly devour this troop!"
Ten or twenty thousand people would not be worth Brahe's change of itinerary, but fifty thousand people was different.
Fifty thousand people is not a small number, and it is worth it for Brach to fight here.
No matter what battlefield it is, 50,000 people are a force that cannot be ignored. Even if they can surround Guan Yu, these 50,000 people hanging behind them will be a considerable hidden danger.
Although he failed to send out the scout troops, Brach knew very well that the terrain near the river beach meant that cavalry could not be used. This was an infantry battlefield, so having more people was an absolute advantage.
"Shoot!"
Brach mobilized the archer troops over. The previous rain of arrows from their side were useless against those iron-clad shield guards. Even concentrated fire had little effect, and in the end they could only watch helplessly.
But it is different now. Even if all the troops of Wei Yan, Guan Xing and others are wearing armor, their defense is far from comparable to that of the shield guards, and bows and arrows have their own reason for existence again.
After three waves of arrows rained down, Brach clearly saw that many Han soldiers had fallen. This was the first time that he had gained the upper hand over the Han army.
"Keep going, shoot with all your might, and kill any remaining arrows!" Brach ordered excitedly.
Before the offensive of Guan Xing and Guan Suo's troops could start, Brach fired several precise waves of arrows, directly covering several nodes of the array battle line, suppressing them so much that they could not raise their heads.
What's worse is that under the cover of the rain of arrows, the low-caste legions successfully blended into their front line.
"Zhang Bao is here!" With a loud roar, Zhang Bao and his two brothers led their troops to the scene.
Before Brach could catch his breath, he shouted again.
"Zhao Guang is here!"
"Zhang Shao is here!"
"Zhao Tong is here!"
A few more troops rushed out from the same direction, and there seemed to be a sign that they were going to compete with the Kushan army.
The opportunity that Wei Yan had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived. The low-caste Kushan soldiers felt a little fear in their hearts because of the continuous arrival of reinforcements from the Han Dynasty. This was exactly the opportunity that Wei Yan had been waiting for.
He knew that these low-caste soldiers could not remain rational like the elite, nor could they accurately judge the situation. They could only see what was in front of them.
If it was just one wave of reinforcements, they might not care, but the continuous reinforcements seemed to cover the entire battlefield, and more seemed to be arriving in the future.
Under the influence of the aura of fear , they began to waver in their hearts and then felt fear.
"Reinforcements have arrived, our army will win, kill!"
Wei Yan actively released his talent of fear. At this time, he no longer cared about causing harm. What he needed most was to collect fear and transform it into strength.
The power of fear generated by the huge base was absorbed by Wei Yan's headquarters. The soldiers of Wei Yan's headquarters began to emit black smoke. That was the reality affected by the power of fear that had become extremely strong.
In just a moment, Wei Yan had to completely shut down talents such as Crazy Bone, leaving only Zhao Yun's calm talent to suppress the backlash brought about by absorbing the power of fear.
"kill!"
"I am General Wei Yan, who dares to kill me!"
Wei Yan let out a wild roar and shouted with infinite arrogance on his face.
Along with Wei Yan's roar, after receiving Wei Yan's signal, the five hundred veterans of Shesheng Battalion began to gather their strength. They were waiting for the unlucky guy who dared to respond.
"Who dares to kill me!"
"Who dares to kill me!"
