Chapter 6666: Farewell "Mangzhong's requirement for the eldest son is to throw a wave every ten seconds. The speed does not need to be very fast, but it must not be chaotic. When shooting, just circle the direction of Fulward and hit it to death. As for the others, Even if the enemy rushes in front of you, there must be no chaos, and the shots should be uniform. In addition to the first wave of arrows, there were waves of spears thrown after them. With the terrifying speed brought by the instantaneous explosion of power, even wooden spears could inadvertently cause damage and damage to Fulward's most elite headquarters. die. "Boys, follow me and charge!" Mang Zhong stabbed the elite camel rider with a gun. With his strong body and the advantage of waiting for work, with the cooperation of the guards, he stabbed a camel to death in a few blows. Riding headquarters. At the same time, more camel riders rushed up. As the top elites who had participated in the Imperial War, even if they were ambushed, even if they were at the critical point of cooking, even if they were missing a meal, they would still have some. Hungry, when faced with the onslaught of Mang Zhong, he did not blow up the camp because of this, but instead grasped his weapon immediately. ??????????????? Then the middle and lower-level officers led by the centurions immediately took command and identified the main direction of the attack, and then organized the manpower to start attacking Mangzhong on the spot. Yes, the performance of these well-trained middle- and lower-level officers in the initial response to chaos and emergencies is almost at the same level as good generals like Fulward. As a result, although Mangzhong caught Fulward by surprise, he did not do what Mangzhong thought he could do in one go. He directly broke into Fulward's main formation with a large-scale gun formation and exploded the temporary camp where Fulward was stationed. A gap. "But one move is not enough, there is a second move. I came earlier than you, and I am here to block you. I need at least three axes." The frontal confrontation failed to gain the upper hand, and was even suppressed. Even the next generation leader of the Qiang people in the northwest Tibetan area, Mang Zhong, was slightly injured. Although this wave of gun battles directly caused hundreds of casualties, but However, the Kushan soldiers gradually stabilized their position amidst the chaos. In this case, the already arranged second and third teams pressed forward from both wings, fully demonstrating the Qiang people's military superiority, and with the flag waving, he ordered his eldest son to throw a spear with a spear head. Yes, although the Qiang people are poor, they are still backed by the Han Dynasty. They still have iron spear heads, but on the one hand, Mangzhong does not have enough time to make so many throwing spears. On the other hand, even if they are all iron throwing spears, , it may not be effective in the hands of the Qiang people under his command. In view of this, it is better to use sharpened wooden spears first. When Kuishang adapts to the blows of wooden spears, he has already started to use his shoulder armor and breastplate to hit the opponent with two iron spears when he can't dodge in time. "Change the iron throwing spear!" Mangzhong's eldest son commanded the only team among the Qiang people in the northwestern Tibetan area who had the talent for instantaneous power explosion. He ordered them to pull up one of the three throwing spears on the right side in front of them, and adjusted it. After taking a breath, he threw the spear in the direction of the Kushan elite in his peak state. The Kushan elites, who had endured five waves of spear throwing before and lost dozens of men as a result, and were mostly injured, had already correctly understood how to deal with these wooden spears. The power is not weak. If the camel rider does not have armor, he will die on the spot if he hits a vital point. But if he has armor, he needs to use armor to block it and parry well. At most, he will be bruised and a little stuffy, even if he makes a mistake in parrying. , as long as you don't get hit in an unarmored position, you'll be fine. So in the face of this wave of spear attacks, the experienced camel rider made a routine parry based on his previous experience. The Kushan elites, who had stabilized their position and maintained a smooth arc on the battle line, were ready to catch the Qiang's young men extending from the left and right sides with minimal losses under the command of Fulward and Sidney, and then Try to counterattack and get out of the battle. At this time, Fulward's face was obviously gloomy, and there was even sweat on Sidney's forehead. He couldn't understand why Mangzhong would come out from here. You must know that it was just an accident that they thought of this road before. But now such a surprising thing happened in front of Ward and Sidney. "It's not a big problem. The opponent is alone. We just need to use all our strength to defeat the opponent." When the iron throwing spear came over, Fulward ordered with great determination, "It's just a Qiang!" The scream fell on the heads of the Kushan soldiers who were preparing to parry the Qiang trident. It was suitable for parrying the dense front line of the Qiang assault, and was undoubtedly at a disadvantage when facing spear throwing. The Kushan elites, who had previously experienced correctly dealing with wooden spears, reflexively used their own armor to carry it when they were unable to dodge or block. A tragic scene appeared in front of the advancing Qiang people. Many camel riders were unable to dodge or block because the formation was too dense.The armored hard-top throwing spear was chosen, but unlike the previous wooden spears, the iron throwing spear could not penetrate the shield guard's armor, but it could tear apart ordinary chain mail without any problem. The Camel Cavalry itself is not a legion known for its defense. Especially after losing its mount, it cannot share qualities. The hard data is only slightly better than the ordinary whiteboard dual talent. It relies entirely on actual combat experience and the middle and lower backbones to judge the situation. He won many battles against the Qiang people. When a legion that relies on reliable skills and experience to win can only rely on hard data, it will expose the shortcomings that have been concealed. It can¡¯t be said to be brittle, but it is still an opponent that can be easily penetrated by the powerful spear thrown by using the instant burst of power. That¡¯s right, some powerful spear throws, at good angles, can even knock a camel rider through. It was just an accident. Led by Fulward, they retreated from the Shangshung Dynasty all the way here. The Kushan elites, who lost less than a thousand, suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant. There were probably less than a hundred people killed on the spot, but there were hundreds of soldiers who were pierced by powerful spears and were seriously injured and howling. Such a tragic scene, even with the will of Kushan elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, could not It's inevitably a bit overwhelming. It's not that I haven't encountered spear throwing before, but in the past, even the spear thrown by the Xiliang cavalry had never beaten this group of people like this. After they entered the Tibetan area, there was a big problem with the logistics supply. , and without the powerful qualities shared by the camel, it is impossible to wear another layer of heavy armor on top of the chain armor, resulting in the extremely limited strength that the camel rider can exert. The sharp shrinkage on both ends of the offense and defense led to a huge loss in this kind of hard-quality competition, which led to an extremely embarrassing scene. "Hahaha, boys, come with me!" Mang Zhong, who was slightly injured after being slashed by a soldier from the opposite side, saw such a bloody scene and didn't bother to bandage and apply medicine. He laughed wildly and rushed forward. Seeing such a scene, Sidney's hands and feet were already cold. He had already realized a fatal flaw in Fulward's elite, and immediately rushed over and grabbed Fulward, "General, you and your people can quickly retreat westward, directly from here." Enter the mountainous area of ??northern Tibet, and then follow the general direction to the Karakoram Corridor. I will stop them first. I can't fight anymore and retreat quickly. " "How can a mere 20,000 Qiang people stop me?" Fulward was furious! After realizing Taoism in the Tibetan area, Fulward's strength rose to the limit, and his mental image was further strengthened. However, due to some restrictions, Fulward had not used it before. Dozens of victories and hundreds of draws brought by the scale of war have blessed Kushan elites. Different from the blessings that only left more than 20%, Fulward has achieved breakthroughs. After enlightenment, he has a better grasp of mental images. Profound, further distorted the rules of the balance, and while eliminating the adverse effects of failure, it also gained the means to explode in a short period of time. ??That is, just like Li Jue, the innate power and mental blessings explode in a certain period of time, bringing about an extreme blessing effect in a short period of time, as well as a long cooling time. Li Jue's eggshell defense is actually the basis of the ideal defense of the cavalry headquarters. It is the long-lasting power of the general's legion's talent that fully explodes within a quarter of an hour, which brings about a terrifying defensive ability that almost catches arrows in the face. Because Fulward was defeated so miserably in that battle, and the Xiliang cavalry's face attack was too shocking for Fulward, when he took the step of mental promotion, Fulward naturally chose to compress the burst time, in exchange for Higher burst intensity. With Fulward roaring, the dim light quickly extended to every Kushan soldier. The explosive improvement allowed the Kushan elite who were caught off guard to stabilize their position on the spot. The path of Fulward is just like that of camel riding. There are no bells and whistles, just pure improvement of strength, speed, and defense. The most lacking thing for camel riding after losing its mount is numerical value. In Fulward's mental image, it is supplemented. After calculating the numerical values, the soldiers of the Camel Riders truly showed their due combat effectiveness. The sword slashed out, and the pure power and speed brought out a booming sound in a flash of shocking light. Just hearing this sound made Mang Zhong, who was facing it head-on, feel bad. He tried his best to block and parry the blow with his spear, and used both hands to block the blow. The numbness in his arms made Mang Zhong look extremely ugly. A mere Fulward's team actually suppressed him in a head-on battle. You must know that as a Qiang people, the habit of preying on the weak is almost instinctive. Although the leader may not necessarily be the strongest person in the tribe, at least he is. He is one of the strongest group, otherwise, the position of the leader would not be secure at all. However, Mangzhong, who is considered to be the strongest group among the Qiang people in the northwest Tibetan area, when Fuwode unfolded his mental image and really went all out to kill the Qiang people who blocked him, Mangzhong's strength was actually only enough to compete with Fuwo De's team?. In fact, this is the biggest difference between those below the empire level and those at the empire level. Without a formed dual-talent legion, there is no chance to grasp the essence of talent, and it will be difficult to smelt and strengthen one's own foundation. After a long time, it will lead to Mang Zhong, who has also practiced Qi to become a gang, and practiced Qi to become a gang on a blank slate, directly falling into a disadvantage when facing an opponent with smelting. This gap is not obvious at the beginning, but as the times develop, the more elite talents the empire analyzes, the more complete the system of ordinary legions, and the more people can make it to the end. In other words, people who have not been exposed to this system can only rely on their qualifications and understanding to analyze it on their own, while those who are exposed to this system can move forward step by step. Perhaps in terms of the upper limit, the former has a greater possibility, but in terms of On the lower limit, the latter is more guaranteed. Everything that Newton created by relying on his own qualifications and understanding will be accessible to future generations in high school and college. This is the difference between unsystematic and systematic. It is not that the latter is better than the former. It can only be said that the latter stands in the same position as the former. on the shoulders. The same is true for Fuwode's soldiers and Mangzhong. It's not that Fuwode's soldiers are more qualified than Mangzhong. It can only be said that the Qiang people's power system is too far behind. Without the premise of connecting with the Han Dynasty's power system , too far apart. This is also the reason why Fulode is confident in crushing the Qiang people even when the strength ratio is as high as five to one. Quantity is just quantity! After regaining its due strength, the camel rider's hard power almost completely crushed the Qiang people. But it was almost crushing. If they could be stronger, the Qiang people led by Mang Zhong would definitely collapse due to the gap in strength, but they didn't. After using all their strength, the Camel Riders faced two consecutive attacks with the will to die. Mang Zhong, whose son died on the spot and did not retreat, did not flee. With more people, more complete preparations, and the fact that nearly a quarter of Fulward's troops were defeated first, Fulward, who had only just over 3,000 troops left, could not completely crush Mang Zhong, who was desperate to avenge his shame. pressure. "Throw the spear, Shi Mang, lead the spear formation to prepare for the second round of assault, and fight against Fulward. We have reinforcements, he is just a lone soldier!" Mang Zhong was nailed to the ground with a gun and was dragged by a group of followers. After coming back, he yelled at his lieutenant. Simple and crude tactics, spear throwing to suppress, infantry gun formation charging, there are no other fancy things in Mangzhong, but these two are enough. Fulward does not have many arrows to use, and cannot suppress the gun formation, only It can be suppressed from the front with the strength of elite infantry. After all, there is no way to suppress it. If we really relax the frontal suppression and let the spear array pass through the Fulward front, it is true that the spearmen in the rear formation may be easily killed by Fulward's infantry, but the Qiang people who swarm up can really Cut off the base of the whisker. With the current strength of Fulward's troops, if the battle line is really cut, even if they can be reunited, hundreds of people will probably die. And Fulward, whose strength has been suppressed to just over 3,000, can withstand another battle. Hundreds of people died? Okay, even if he can withstand it, if Mangzhong continues to do this, he will die two or three times, and Fulward will lose even himself. So we can only push hard and suppress it from the front, but facing Mangzhong's repeated charges and the Qiang people's completely fearless assault, Fuwode really can't open up the situation. "General, lead your people westward into the mountains of northern Tibet and retreat." He led the elite troops to repel Shi Mang's gun attack. When he returned, he saw Fulward gasping for breath. Sidney grabbed Fulward. Wrist, suggested again, and this time, Fulward did not break away. After Sidney realized this, he had clearly realized that Fulward's war was almost over. But thinking about it, half an hour had passed since noon when Fulward opened his mind. , it¡¯s been another hour now. The Fuwod and Qiang people who are close to the mountainous areas of northern Tibet are now completely covered by the shadow of the mountainous area. The high mountains on the west side have completely blocked the sunlight for a long time. At least for such a powerful mental image, it is already very long, so long that the Qiang people may have lost more than 5,000 people. However, under such exaggerated battle losses, the Qiang people still did not retreat, but Fulward had already Almost reaching the limit. "General, withdraw." Sidney grabbed Fulward's wrist, who was still trying to move forward, and said in a very formal manner. In this situation, Fulward's mental image is about to stop. He has suddenly lost his blessing, and because he has been fighting for so long, he is already tired and hungry. He has not been able to eat lunch, let alone suppress the Qiang people. It would be better if they were not suppressed by the Qiang people on the spot. "I" Fulward looked at Sidney silently. The scale of 4,000 people and the scale of 3,000 people are completely different things. In the former, Fulward is risking his life to explode.It seems that it can crush more than 20,000 Qiang people who are really determined to stop Fulward, but the first attack has damaged nearly a thousand, and the number of combatable soldiers has been weakened to 3,000. Even the elite, the scale of the cloud has been suppressed. . Coupled with the long-term battle, the decline in physical strength caused by the lack of reserve troops to rotate, and the hunger caused by not having lunch, even with the blessing of mental images, Fulward headquarters is still going downhill. From the beginning, Sidney told Fulward that no matter what opponent he faced, no matter how many strong men he encountered, he must work hard and win quickly. Fulward himself is actually very clear about this, but sometimes knowing and doing it are two different things. If you understand this sentence clearly, then when facing Mang Zhong, when you realize that you can't defeat Mang Zhong in one go, Fu Ward will Ward should break out and retreat. Because the battle cannot be decided quickly, for Fulward, who cannot replenish his troops and has no reserve troops for the battle, he is constantly entering death. The longer it is delayed, the more miserable his death will be. The death of 5,000 Qiang people was heartbreaking at best, but the death of 5,000 people from Fuwode included him. And now, when Fulward, who was completely in trouble, was dragged by Sidney, he finally realized this. He had less than 3,000 people left, and many of them were seriously injured. Injury. Can such a force complete the subsequent plans? Since Mang Zhong has appeared here with the Qiang people, is it possible that there will be other Qiang people blocking the way, going to the Tibetan area, going to Xinzhou, and then coming up again? Is it wrong from the beginning? Countless thoughts came to Fulward's mind, causing him to directly enter the stage of questioning, just as Masinde originally expected. Masinde had told Fulward before that if you can take these people back, no matter how many you go back, one of them will be the seed of the future, the backbone of your legion, and the backbone that is absolutely trustworthy, but this The road is difficult. To be precise, Masinde actually suggested that if Fuwode was unwilling to surrender, he should fly back by himself. The Himalayas could not stop the elite soldiers, but could not stop Fuwode who could fly. Before the Qiang people attacked and the clouds had not yet closed, Fly back through no man's land. But Fulward himself was unwilling, and Masinde didn't really want those soldiers who were loyal to Kushan to join the Han Dynasty, because sooner or later these people would become Zhu Helai's pawns after entering the Han Dynasty. After all, Masinde is still very clear about the lower limit of Zhu Helai. This person is a pure humanoid animal, so you follow your Yangguan Road and I will follow my single-plank bridge. This is also a good choice for Masinde. result. Having said that, Masinde, as a decent person, still persuaded Fulward, "If you leave by yourself and let the soldiers who stay here surrender, it will not have any impact on your own mentality, but if you If you want to take the soldiers back, this road is also the road to ask questions. It is true that you can go back successfully, but I am not optimistic about it. " At this moment, Fulward finally understood. Why did Cinder say that. Compared with flying back alone or with a few people, and then asking others to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Fulward, who led the army back, must recognize the reality that his soldiers are in this process. sacrifice. If hundreds or thousands of people die, Fulward may not feel anything, but if most of them die, or even only Fulward escapes, then even if Fulward goes back, it will be useless. . This level of psychological shock was too severe for Fulward. He agreed to take his men back, and his men also shouted to return to Kushan for the general. As a result, on the road, all the men who were willing to follow him risked their lives. Fulfilled his oath. ¡°Then even if Fulward goes back, he will probably stay in the place where his subordinates died for the rest of their lives. "General, my Majesty, go west directly into the mountains of northern Tibet, and then find a way to reach the Karakoram Mountain Road and return to Kushan." Sidney persuaded again, "I suggested this northeastern road. Now it's up to me. It's time to take responsibility." Fulward looked at Sidney, and Sidney smiled freely, "I hate Nangui, and I don't want to betray the long-cherished wish of Da Yuezhi, so the current Kushan seems disgusting to me, Oswin. The general is very upright and a hero, but General Oswin cannot understand the beliefs that generations of me, my father, and my ancestors have had since they were teenagers and served in the mountains day after day. We are not from the same place. "Ah!" "I'm afraid the biggest difference between me and Cabbage's group is that they can accept other ways to get the princess, but I can only accept using force to snatch the princess," Sidney said as if he was giving his last words. What I've always wanted to say came out. "I thought about compromising, but I couldn't accept it. When I think about my previous ten or twenty years of hard work, all my hard work has turned into shit.Suddenly, the struggles of thousands of us have become a source of ridicule for others! I feel sick about Kushan right now! "Sidney looked at Fulward's unusual ease and ease, and he finally said what he wanted to say.
