Chapter 973: Meng Huo's Ambition
"Let the elephant soldiers attack!" Rahul nodded slightly. As expected, the Han Dynasty also pointed out the elephant soldiers, and they had been hidden in some way before.
However, they also have elephant soldiers on their side, and at most there will be some losses of fearless spearmen, so the Kushans still have the advantage.
Meng Huo hardly needed any extra orders, as the elephant soldiers were unstoppable .
The few Kushan spearmen instantly felt a sensation of flying in the clouds, followed by a pain like their internal organs being torn apart. Even with the defensive effect bestowed by their fearless will, many of them vomited blood and died on the spot.
As one of the strongest creatures on land, elephants are simply unstoppable bulldozers when they have talent and a driver.
Shield guards, elite troops, chariots, none of them are enough. As long as there is a head-on collision, it will be a complete crushing defeat.
In addition to the three talents of military soul, rogue soldiers, such as the super heavy infantry that can be resurrected on the spot, and the legion of will strike, can defeat the elephant soldiers.
None of the remaining quality troops could confront the elephant soldiers head-on.
Against an elephant, defense is completely useless.
Well, it’s not that defense is useless, but defense in the conventional sense is completely useless.
In this turbulent age, there are no other horrible upright apes except humans.
The more powerful a creature is, the stronger it becomes in this era, just like a tiger with its internal energy out of body can easily slaughter a goat with its internal energy out of body.
Or perhaps a locust whose internal energy has left its body is killed instantly by a chicken whose internal energy has become a strong force.
In normal times, elephants perfectly occupy the first position thanks to their super size.
Tigers and polar bears all have to step back a little.
Just a swing of the elephant's trunk can produce tons of force. Only those who can withstand the elephant's trunk are qualified to fight against the elephant.
Although the shield guards' defense is already very high, it makes no difference whether they have defense or not for a legion that can defeat an opponent with force.
However, even the fearless elephant soldiers still have the old problems of elephants. They cannot deal with noise, are afraid of fire, and are easily frightened. It's just that their fearless talent seems to suppress their emotions.
Once they exceed the range of their natural suppression, the elephants will instantly fall into chaos, and the frightened war elephants will not distinguish between friend and foe.
Of course, the elephant's invincibility is only limited to the front, and there is still a possibility of being defeated.
In the description of Alexander, his method of fighting elephants was to avoid direct combat with the elephants, attack in a roundabout way, defeat the soldiers of other legions, and then drive the defeated soldiers of the other side together.
Use long-range attacks to make the elephants lose control, and then the elephants will start to attack their own people frantically, causing internal strife.
Wait until the dust settles, then send soldiers to attack and win.
But it was obvious that Rahul had no intention of avoiding. After thousands of spearmen were trampled, the Kushan elephant soldiers also came up.
The only thing that can fight against power is power.
The battle line where the elephant soldiers fought was in a state of chaos. There was no possibility of forming a stable formation. The battle changed from a competition of organizational ability to a competition of individual combat capabilities.
This is obviously the specialty of the elite barbarians. Wutugu, holding a mace, is like a fish in water.
One of the men who tried to stop him from leaving his body with internal energy had his head smashed by three sticks. The remaining Kushan officers retreated one after another. This kind of well-trained monster was no different from a killer god in such a corrupt battlefield.
Going up there would be pure suicide.
But they didn't go over. Wutugu came over on his own. The rattan armor soldiers themselves possessed elite qualities. After activating the fearless talent, their combat effectiveness showed an upward trend.
You are a fearless spearman, and I am a fearless barbarian. After removing the blessing of the fearless talent, the physical fitness of my elite barbarians far surpasses yours.
Moreover, in such a chaotic battlefield, the spearmen's spears were too long and they could not be used at all.
On the contrary, the battle axes and hammers of the barbarians were almost used to their full potential. Sometimes, they could chop off both the spear and the person with one powerful blow.
You can use super-heavy weapons with one hand. After putting down your battle axe and warhammer, you can also kill people with your fists. Take my Iron Fist Judgment!
The spearmen who were attacked at close range were directly defeated and were unable to launch an effective counterattack.
"Hahaha, look, I found something!"
After the elephant soldiers began to charge, Meng Huo abandoned the elephant soldiers and left all responsibility to King Mulu.
He joined forces with Wutugu and took over the command of the elite barbarians.
When he saw the Kushan officers across from him, he laughed and said, "Madam, where are the people, Wutugu? Follow me, today will determine whether you will be made a marquis or a general."
Meng Huo found the gathering place of the Kushan commanders. The Kushan officers and generals fell into their old habit. In this chaotic battlefield, the Kshatriya class began to stick together out of habit.
This is something that is ingrained in the bones of the Southern Noble Kshatriyas, and the officers and soldiers from the Northern Nobles were unable to react for a while.
Especially under the divine power of Wutugu killing a man with internal energy out of his body with three sticks, they subconsciously felt that it would be safer to stick together.
Meng Huo noticed these people amidst the chaos of the army.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tu Gu rushed out howling, and even crushed Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong who were also rushing like a wild bear, and asked casually, "What is the title of marquis and general?"
"After you are granted the title of marquis and appointed as a general, you can eat as much beef as you want from the northern ranch!" Meng Huo was stunned at first, then he realized that this guy had nothing else in his mind except eating, so he changed his slogan immediately.
"Ahhh, for the beef, kill!" Wutugu's morale was immediately boosted. He waved the heavy mace with one hand and swept through the army. With a sonic boom, he broke the Kushan soldier who was blocking his front in two. With blood and flesh flying everywhere, he rushed into the Kushan army with extreme bloodiness and violence.
The rattan armor soldiers behind Wutugu also roared and rushed into the Kushan army with Wutugu, attacking the Kushan officers frantically despite the enemy's attack.
The Kushan soldiers, who had suffered repeated defeats and heavy casualties, were thrown into chaos in the vanguard's main camp after Wutugu rushed in like a ghost.
However, Wutugu also stopped. These Kushan officers were indeed not as good as Wutugu, but at this moment, eight or nine of them gathered together, and even Wutugu, who had a body of steel, would be beaten and scream in pain.
"After you are granted the title of nobility and appointed as a general, you can buy any rouge, powder, jewellery and jewelry in the Central Plains!" Meng Huo began to make promises to Mrs. Zhu Rong.
In fact, it is not just empty talk. For Meng Huo, being granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general is indeed the easiest way to achieve his goal.
Meng Huo had always been very panicked. The support from the Han Dynasty was too great, so great that even if they, the barbarians, sacrificed their lives, it would not be enough to repay the loss.
Later, Liu Bei gave him an idea, which was to achieve great things.
He also gave Meng Huo a specific quantification of his merits. In short, he was just fooling Meng Huo, but Meng Huo felt at ease instead.
I am not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but I am afraid of pie falling from the sky. Free things are the most expensive.
Even Meng Huo knew this truth, so Meng Huo was always holding his breath in his heart. He wanted to achieve great things, not to prove how great he was.
Instead, it is to prove that there is nothing wrong with the Han Dynasty helping the Nanman State. The Nanman State is also a part of the Han Dynasty and they deserve the help of the Han Dynasty.
Upon hearing Meng Huo's words, Lady Zhu Rong immediately burst out with a fighting power that was no less than that of Wutugu.
As God is my witness, even Madam Zhurong could not resist the nature of a woman and she picked up the habit of wearing makeup and dressing up in Luoyang.
But Madam Zhurong was once the leader of a barbarian tribe after all, and the southern barbarians had just escaped poverty, so Meng Huo simply had no money for Madam Zhurong to squander.
Madam Zhu Rong was reluctant to squander the money, so she only kept the pure gold necklace given to her by Liu Ying, and used the rest to build the Nanman Province.
This is her and Meng Huo's responsibility as the leaders of the barbarians.
But when she suddenly heard what Meng Huo said, Lady Zhu Rong started to explode. You know, the bravest warrior in the Southern Barbarians was not Wutugu, but her who inherited the name of Zhu Rong.
The Fire Dragon Soldiers followed Zhurong and began to charge. If it was just Wutugu alone, the Kushan officers could still fight head-on and cooperate to block him. But when Mrs. Zhurong, who was no less powerful than Wutugu, joined in, the army immediately began to disintegrate and flee in all directions.
"Hahaha, fellow soldiers, follow me to kill the enemies! Today is the time to achieve great things!" Meng Huo was overjoyed when he saw Wutugu and Madam Zhurong defeating the Kushan officers like ghosts and gods.
With a roar, he led the elite barbarian soldiers who had not rushed forward to break the formation. His target was never the group of Kushan officers, his target was to defeat the Kushan's flank.
"How can I let you rush through here!" Sinari felt extremely chilled when he saw Wutugu and Lady Zhurong driving the Kushan soldiers like ghosts and gods.
But looking at the main formation that was about to fall apart, Sinari took a deep breath and rushed towards Meng Huo. He knew that he might die here in this battle!
But he would never let Meng Huo pass even if he died!
Sinari activated all his strength, as well as the blessings of gods and Buddhas, forming a six-armed image of a god or Buddha behind him. He then led his few remaining guards and launched a counterattack against Meng Huo.
"You, with your internal energy out of your body, think you can stop me? Die!"
Meng Huo roared to the sky. He was the king of the barbarians, so how could he stop here?
Without any thought, Meng Huo removed the restrictions on his body, and a strange flush appeared on his skin.
This is the last resort of the barbarians. It would be fatal if used originally, but after being improved by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, it is no longer so deadly. Normally, if the internal energy leaves the body, the patient will be bedridden for a year or two at most.
A talented player like him will only recover faster.
"I am the king of the barbarians, prepare to face my wrath!"
Relying on his absolute strength, Meng Huo didn't waste much time getting used to Sinari's way of fighting, and it didn't take long before he gradually began to suppress the opponent's range of activities.
He tried hard to force it to the front until it had no way to escape, then he roared and smashed down hard at Sinari who had no way to escape below.
No miracle happened. Sinari's brains splattered everywhere, and red and white things were scattered all over Meng Huo.
However, Meng Huo did not feel the slightest discomfort. Instead, he continued to lead his elite barbarian troops in the charge with red eyes and roaring.
"I didn't expect there was such an elite force."
Rahul rubbed his chin, but didn't care much. He had seen similar elite barbarian soldiers when he was chasing Wei Yan before, so he had expected this scene.
"Mobilizing the Kshatriya warriors to stop them is ultimately just a matter of individual bravery. It's too early to win!"
At this point, Rahul has almost played all the cards in his hand. If he continues to let Zhuge Liang play his cards, it would be too passive, so Rahul doesn't plan to watch any further.
It has come to this point. The left and right wings are already completely stalemate. That was just the appetizer. I want to see how your central army can stop it!
After hesitating for a while, waiting for the casualties of the Fearless Lancers to increase further, and also confirming that the two wings were completely in a stalemate, Rahul made a new move.
"Drum roll, follow me!"
Rahul directly ordered an attack, he wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang from the middle line.
"Come on!" Rahul's reaction was exactly what Zhuge Liang expected. What he wanted was also an opportunity to face off head-on.
There is nothing much to say. Both sides simply put all their officers and forces on the central army battle.
After Rahul's camp was mobilized, there were 50,000 people in the rear camp. These 50,000 people have now gathered in front of Guan Yu to prevent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others from attacking the camp.
Rahul actually deployed a large number of troops on both wings and the rear army, but after Oswald drove away Zhang Fei and Guan Yu was blocked by Niranjan , Rahul put all his forces into the front.
The left and right wings were used as places for feint attacks, with a force of more than 300,000, and this did not include the result of spearmen.
This time the battlefield is too large and covers too wide an area, so a large army command post is not enough.
In fact, at this point, Rahul is clear in his mind - Zhuge Liang has already taken the initiative in the overall situation. Unless Rahul dares to withdraw, a face-to-face confrontation is an inevitable result.
In other words, this decision he made was entirely under the guidance of Zhuge Liang.
"The young are to be feared."
Rahul sighed softly, no matter how the other party saw through his command.
However, he was able to take advantage of the almost non-existent flaws and manually create flaws to peel off his left and right wings, successfully turning the situation into what the opponent expected.
Rahul couldn't help but admire him a few words. He was a little curious about what the other party ate to grow so fast.
However, it is incredible that a man in his twenties has such courage and ability.
In their current Kushan, there is almost no one who can compare with Zhuge Liang.
This made Rahul vaguely see the future outcome. His generation might be able to hold on, but what about the next generation?
Given Zhuge Liang's current age, it would be no problem for him to outlive Cecilien, him, and Arvind.
Even if they were not dead, the ending would be obvious to them at a glance as they were in their twilight years facing Zhuge Liang, who was at the peak of his prime or on the decline.
Rahul was a little scared because he couldn't win.
But he quickly put aside this worry. The changes in the Kushan Empire in the past ten years had blinded his eyes. Perhaps in ten years, the Kushan Empire would also be able to produce a Zhuge Liang.
Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to focus on the present and defeat Zhuge Liang first, so that he will have the capital to talk about the future.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The dull drumbeats spread in all directions, and the officers under Rahul's command instantly understood Rahul's intention.
