Chapter 967: Dark Cloud Riders and Dawn
As night fell, the air became foggy.
This was the fog that Pang Tong had been guiding since he made the plan, in order to add some concealment. Although there was a risk of exposing the tactics, Pang Tong had no intention of covering it up.
Just provide a suitable distance, and as for how much effect it can have, that's up to fate.
There is still some distance from the Kushan camp, and this distance is the most suitable charge distance for the Youyun Cavalry. After all, what they want is not the lethality of the charge, but the sense of oppression brought by the charge.
Only if the distance was a little longer and the Kushan soldiers were a little more panicked, the damage caused by their charge would be more tremendous, causing more fear among the Kushan soldiers, and a virtuous cycle would continue until the Kushan soldiers collapsed.
After reaching this distance, Pang Tong did not plan to continue covering it up, but he did not remove the fog. He had guided it up with great difficulty, and it might still play a role later.
"This wave depends on you, General Three." Pang Tong stopped his horse beside Zhang Fei and said.
"Shi Yuan, I tell you not to go in. With your tiny arms and legs, what if something happens?"
Zhang Fei said this in a low voice. Many soldiers around him heard this, but they did not show any dissatisfaction. It was one of the rules of war that military advisors did not go to the front line.
"After all, it was my plan. If I don't believe it, who would dare to believe it?" Pang Tong said with a smile, "I am not an ordinary military advisor. Only if I personally go into battle can the chain effect be brought into full play, and the casualties can be reduced by then."
"If my plan is wrong, let me and my plan be transformed into destiny and die together. As a military adviser, I should at least be prepared to go on the journey with my plan."
"Besides, I'm not a weak scholar!" Pang Tong patted his tendon muscles. Apart from anything else, he was also a man with great internal energy, so he would be fine if he was careful.
"You bastard!" Zhang Feilang said with a smile, "If nothing else, you really suit my taste. I'm going to do it now, so be careful."
"Don't worry, I won't joke about my life before I defeat Zhuge Kongming!" Pang Tong said with a little arrogance, "It's just a local battle. My life is not that worthless."
"Hahaha, just watch! I'm going to do it!" Zhang Fei patted Pang Tong's shoulder and said in a very heroic manner.
"Kill!" Zhang Fei roared, and eight thousand Youyun cavalry rolled towards the Kushan camp like a steel torrent.
"Humph, the Han army is so brave!"
Oswald snorted coldly. When the fog rose, he and Kusroyi realized that something was wrong. They sent additional personnel to conduct reconnaissance and had already discovered the movements of the Han army.
The troops had already been assembled, waiting for Zhang Fei to attack first.
With the camp as their support, they can fully leverage the camp's advantages and encircle Zhang Fei's troops.
The most important thing about a night attack is the attack. If you lose the uniqueness, the rest will be at a disadvantage.
But Oswin and Kusroyi subconsciously overlooked one point: although their men were elite, there were other ordinary soldiers in the camp.
But to these ordinary soldiers, Zhang Fei will always be a terrifying BOSS like a god or demon.
Accompanied by a roar like a tiger or a dragon, Zhang Fei blasted a huge gap in the outer wall of the camp.
The man riding on a black horse and charging with a snake spear in his hand is the devil who destroys miracles.
"Enemy attack!" The sharp roar and the panicked drumbeats quickly awakened some soldiers who were taking a rest.
In order to take advantage of the situation, Oswin and Kusroyi did not actually mobilize too many Kushan soldiers. Most of the soldiers still maintained their original rotation and rest schedule.
When this group of soldiers rushed out in panic, Zhang Fei blew open the camp and rushed in.
Zhang Fei's aura, which was almost like a halo of fear, was completely unleashed and spread out to crush the surroundings. Unless an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator had a firm mind and could form a defensive formation, his mind would be instantly covered by darkness, or even frightened to death.
"Stop him!"
An officer who was originally stationed in the camp and had the ability to separate his internal energy from his body saw Zhang Fei rushing in vertically, and he shouted loudly, preparing to lead a horizontal attack. However, the soldiers under his command could not even line up in a row. As for Nan Gui's advantage in refining his Qi into Gang, at this moment he could not show the slightest bit.
"Stop me?" Zhang Fei laughed wildly when he heard that, and his legion's talent almost turned into substance and pressed towards the opposite side.
After just a glance, the officer with internal energy leaving his body turned around and left. This was no match for him at all. Seeing this, Zhang Fei laughed out loud.
He pulled out a spear and threw it out. The aim was ridiculous, but it frightened the officer with strong internal energy and made him roll on the ground several times.
This ridiculous behavior caused the Kushan soldiers, who had originally maintained some order, to fall into chaos.
At that moment, the Kushan soldiers who were facing the Han army directly dropped their weapons and ran to the side desperately. There was nothing else to say and they collapsed directly.
"The most glorious blessing!"
Oswald and Kusroyi realized their mistake and took action immediately. They must not let Zhang Fei continue to be so arrogant.
A golden sun rose into the sky, and Oswald's talent began to shine.
The Kushan soldiers, whose hearts had been devoured by fear, began to gradually calm down under the illumination of this light. Although they were still somewhat afraid of Zhang Fei and the Youyun Cavalry, they were able to gather under the command of the officers, re-form their battle array, and prepare for a counterattack.
"Oswin, reorganize the troops in the camp and beware of other Han troops attacking the camp. I will go and stop them first!"
Kusroyi said calmly and firmly that after they had gathered together, Zhang Fei would become the whetstone for him to gain experience, but he did not expect that Zhang Fei would come to him first.
But it’s also a good thing. After facing Zhang Fei directly, Kusroyi realized that those Dawn recruits were unable to face Zhang Fei.
The opponent is naturally weak-willed, and the unformed Dawn is, to be honest, very fragile. It is entirely possible that the firm will will collapse due to its fragile quality, and by then they may be worse than ordinary Kushan soldiers.
After all, once an extreme is reversed, it will naturally become another extreme.
"Fortunately, this time Oswald and I were the first to arrive, otherwise the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable!" Kusroyi's eyes were cold.
Although it can restrain the unformed Dawn, the formed Dawn is not afraid of the Youyun Cavalry, and can even restrain the Youyun Cavalry instead.
On the other side, Zhang Fei rode his horse towards Kusroyi. The original momentum became more and more terrifying as Zhang Fei and his Youyun cavalry approached. When they were within three hundred steps, Zhang Fei's momentum finally took shape and covered Kusroyi's headquarters.
At that moment, Kusroyi's headquarters naturally retreated, and then stepped forward decisively. Zhang Fei's eyes sank. He had guessed that the other party might have a talent of will.
After all, the fear added by Zhang Fei's talent is enough to make living beings instinctively feel fear when facing him. That one step back is enough to show that the ability has not been blocked, but after stepping back, he took another firm step, which is enough to show the opponent's belief.
Those who can face fear, confront fear, and overcome fear are not weak!
Zhang Fei has a very deep understanding of the Legion of Will, and even Huangfu Song may not be as good as Zhang Fei in this respect.
Because to some extent, Zhang Fei's own legion talent is itself a manifestation of his willpower, although Zhang Fei basically did not use this legion talent in the early days.
However, no matter what, it is the power that Zhang Fei possesses after all, and he has it in his heart. No one can explain the will, but no one can deny it.
Moreover, Zhang Fei also had all of Guan Yu's understanding of will, and he never kept anything to himself from his brother Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei has gone a long way in understanding willpower. If he merely intimidated the other party and gained strength from their fear to strengthen himself, Zhang Fei's Youyun Cavalry Corps would at most be a legion that killed miscellaneous soldiers.
But this is not the case, just like Zhang Fei has not yet broken through the realm, but his fighting power is still among the best in the world.
The Youyun Cavalry is just a royal guard corps, but it is not inferior to any military soul with three talents.
There is no way. The essence of Zhang Fei’s legion talent is to face fear head-on and then maintain his absolutely unshakable belief in the face of fear.
Later, he relied on this belief to strengthen his own strength. In fact, this itself is equivalent to deriving and adapting to the will in advance. Although this method is relatively cruel, no matter what, Zhang Fei’s legion was exposed to the attributes of will at a very early stage.
Now the Youyun Cavalry is only one step away from transformation, but Zhang Fei doesn't know what this step is. He can only stay where he is and continue training, but there is no progress.
"Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, how deep has the situation progressed now?" Zhang Fei said with a smile as he looked at Kusroyi's personal guard Lang who was still marching forward despite the fear.
The opponent is not easy to defeat in normal form. He must release his fear and conduct a will test.
"The third level can definitely be controlled!" When Zhang Yi heard Zhang Fei's words, he knew what the other party was planning and immediately began to explain.
"Oh, the opponent is probably at the level of the Royal Guards, and has a talent of idealistic will. Do you think the third level can suppress it?" Zhang Fei asked grimly.
"Hahaha, General, why are you acting so hypocritical? We are not afraid of death!" Zhang Yi answered Zhang Fei with a big laugh.
"Well said, General. Just go ahead and do it. Our brothers have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Wang Ping also shouted.
Zhang Fei nodded, and the restrained power in his soldiers was immediately released, and they were assessed to the fifth level in one go.
The change brought about this time is no longer fear and intimidation, but a surge in the momentum of the headquarters. The export of faith has made the soldiers' internal energy more and more condensed, which means that the most core foundation has suddenly risen without any changes in other aspects.
"Dawn!" Kusroyi rode his horse to the front and looked at Zhang Fei calmly, without fear or awe.
The talent of the legion is blossoming, and the will of the Dawn soldiers under its command is shining brightly.
He didn't care that Zhang Fei was coming straight towards him.
Zhang Fei is very strong, but he is not Zhang Fei's opponent.
He wasn't strong enough, so naturally Rahul equipped him with a powerful demigod as support.
"Master Moggallana, please!" Kusroyi bowed slightly. The other party was a truly compassionate person who treated even the Dalits equally. Such a master deserved his respect.
"Leave it to me!" said Maudgalyayana calmly.
He has now changed his mind. Brahma is dead, so what is irreversible? So he joined the Kushans with countless living gods and Buddhas.
No, it should be said that they returned to Kushan because they were Kushans themselves.
There are even many gods and Buddhas who are from the Great Yuezhi. With the help of him as the national teacher, these gods and Buddhas all stay in their appropriate positions.
"The divine body can break through both realms?" Zhang Fei looked at Maudgalyayana in disbelief as he blocked his Zhangba Snake Spear.
At this moment, Zhang Fei's face looked very ugly. If Maudgalyayana could block his attack, he would be a little surprised at most, and he did not have a clear understanding.
But as soon as the opponent made a move, Zhang Fei was certain that the opponent really was a divine body that had broken through both realms, an incredible existence!
This was the first time that Zhang Fei saw a true double breakthrough. Everyone seemed to be going further and further on the same path, and even he was making progress in three areas.
But I didn't expect that someone would be able to go directly through the two paths of the divine body and actually succeed.
The divine body has broken through two realms. Even without the internal energy connecting it, this kind of strength is still enough to be called terrifying. As far as Zhang Fei knows, he is the only one in the world!
Specialize in one path, advance in two paths, advance in three paths, where are the limits of these paths, which path has more advantages and can go further.
Zhang Fei knew none of this, but he was very clear that the other party was a strong enemy.
"Die!"
At this time, Zhang Fei no longer cared about whether the enemy was strong or not. If he was held back by Maudgalyayana, it would be hard to say whether he could retreat today.
While Oswald is still reorganizing the camp, he must lead the way, whether in battle or in retreat, and must not be blocked by Maudgalyayana .
"Shoot!" Kusroyi gave the order coldly, and then three sparse waves of arrows shot towards the Youyun Cavalry. The three waves of arrows had different angles. Except for the first wave, the remaining two batches were very tricky.
Unlike other legions that focus on covering shooting, Kusroyi focuses on precise shooting in teams of three.
Although arrows are no longer a very valuable material for Dawn, from a certain perspective, they may not be able to obtain replenishment of related materials at any time.
Coupled with some unchangeable limitations brought about by his birth, Kusroyi should be especially thrifty with material things.
Under the moonlight, both sides could see each other's expressions, the ferocity and arrogance of the Youyun Cavalry, and the coldness and iron-bloodedness of the Kusroyi headquarters; the temperaments of both sides were completely opposite.
But what is the same is the unchanging bright will in the eyes of both sides, and both sides are prepared to risk their lives.
