When Lou Xiang's nephew retreated to the Xiliang military camp, he happened to meet Zhang Xiu who had repelled Bakza's soldiers. As a famous officer under Cao Cao, Lou Xiang's nephew immediately told Zhang Xiu everything he knew.

"After breaking through the battle line with a strong attack and breaking through the outer battle line to enter the main formation, release the illusion soldiers to defeat the inner circle soldiers, use light and sound to attract the attention of the backbones in the rear formation, and then lead the elite to strangle the regular soldiers with the highest efficiency?" Zhang Xiu took a deep breath after hearing this, and instantly realized the insidiousness of this operation.

The Han army attacked as a group army, so there were backbone legions deployed on the periphery, but even if they were the backbone elites, there were only a few who could stop the Holy Death Cavalry in the conventional formation, and they would naturally be killed. After crossing the periphery and entering the main formation, the inner circle soldiers had basically no ability to resist the Holy Death Cavalry.

This is not a problem of the inner circle soldiers not being elite enough. In fact, these soldiers are not inferior to those soldiers defending the outer circle in terms of quality. If we really want to say it, the biggest problem is actually one, the backbone of the organization and the elite veterans are all defending the outer circle.

After all, it is somewhat difficult for ordinary soldiers to maintain the front line under such climatic conditions, so the soldiers who perform the outer defense tasks are basically the backbone of the organization.

This is also the reason why Cao Hong was killed by Ardashir in the previous wave. In order to take the lead, he led a dozen guards to wander around the outer circle.

As a result, the position of wandering and patrolling happened to encounter Ardashir, just like Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, who was wandering around the outer circle and happened to encounter Huang Zhong rushing down from the mountain. He was not able to defend himself and was killed in seconds. However, on Cao Hong's side, Ardashir jumped out of the rain curtain and stabbed Cao Hong with his spear. Cao Hong didn't even react and was killed in seconds.

To be honest, if it hadn't been so sudden, even if Cao Hong couldn't beat Ardashir, he could at least run away. In addition, Cao Hong's legion talent can dispel the five metal spirits, and the weapons of Ardashir's soldiers should have been damaged during the fight.

As a result, he was killed in one move, so there is no need to say what happened next.

This is also the reason why the entire rear army front was in a mess. Ardashir himself attacked unexpectedly and also lost the command line.

The veterans who couldn't see the overall situation could only judge according to experience. As a result, Ardashir, who came in, used the illusion soldier to trick them into a big move, and the entire rear army fell into turmoil.

Just like the veterans on Cao Cao's side have been fighting for a long time and know how to deal with the Holy Death Knights, Ardashir and Cao Cao's veterans have been fighting for so long, and how could they not know how this group of people deal with the Holy Death Knights?

The sharp soldiers led the counterattack, the elite veterans led the backbone to block, and then fell into the mud and rolled. The Holy Death Knights, who had lost their impact, were still very strong, but it was absolutely impossible to kill these third and fourth level Han veterans like mowing grass.

After all, as long as the conditions were right, the veterans of the third and fourth levels of melting were enough to fool around in the Miracle Legion. Even if they had weaknesses in the face of the Holy Death Knights, they would not be killed in seconds as long as they were dragged into the mud and fought a mess.

Coupled with some sixty-year-old fourth and fifth level melting, who had no endurance but mastered a special combination of talents to attack by surprise, to be honest, for a general like Ardashir who would lose one more if he died, this battle could not be fought.

So when the veterans were studying how to face the Holy Death Knights, Ardashir, on the Holy Death Knights side, also led his men to study how to effectively annihilate Cao Cao's living forces, and this time was an attempt.

Isn't your sharp warrior's lethality high? It's so high that after the sharp warrior is fully activated, cutting the Holy Death Knight is just like cutting grass. Well, I'll give you a phantom soldier to cut. Anyway, after you draw the sword, you can't feel the difference between cutting people and cutting phantoms. Anyway, they are all paper.

This move not only gathered the elite backbones of the Han Dynasty, but also deceived the killing moves of the elite Han Dynasty.

Take Sun Ling as an example. Before he faced the Holy Death Knight with all his strength, he appeared in front of the Holy Death Knight. As long as he was not unlucky, he could at least take away one or two elite Holy Death Knights with the Hidden God Sword. After all, the sharp warriors fight for lethality and are not afraid at all.

But now Sun Ling has opened the Hidden God Sword, and the Death Sword is half-opened, and only killed the phantom soldier. If he encounters the Holy Death Knight again, can he take away one or two Holy Death Knights before dying like before?

It is probably impossible.

The foundation of the miracle soldiers is the same level as Sun Ling and others, but in addition to this same foundation, they also have other fancy abilities. If they use them well, just like now, it is not a problem for them to take away soldiers of the same level as them without injury.

More importantly, for a single legion, if they want to stop the current scale of the Holy Death Riders of Ardashir, they must draw the elite of the entire army to carry out together, and this is an important opportunity for Ardashir.

After listening to Lou Xiang's explanation of his nephew, Zhang Xiu immediately understood why the rear army fell into such a situation, and did not ask Cao Hong about it, because Cao Hong still had not opened the legion talent until now, so there was no need to ask, he must be dead.

When Zhang Xiu thought that Ardashir was killing ordinary soldiers with the highest efficiency, his face became extremely ugly. If he was killed by Ardashir like this, Cao Hong's army would probably be disbanded after Cao Hong's death. Although veterans are important, the regular soldiers are all dead, and there is no way to fight with veterans.

Considering that once Ardashir completely destroyed the organizational power of the rear army, the Liangzhou soldiers near the rear army would definitely be affected. Zhang Xiu had already fought with the Undead Guards under Bakza and the Scimitar Assaulters under Gorgan. If Ardashir destroyed the rear army, Zhang Xiu would have to face these three things next.

There is nothing else to say. Lead the team to attack Ardashir directly. For the special soldiers of Xiliang, as long as Ardashir does not rush in to make trouble, the Undead Guards and Scimitar Assaulters will at most disgust themselves twice on the periphery, and will not be hit with any fatal damage.

On the contrary, if Ardashir cannot be stopped, he will be rushed in and killed by the opponent, and there are Undead Guards and Scimitar Assaulters in the outer circle to make trouble. It is not a surprise that the front line collapses. So after listening to the words of the rear-line soldiers, Zhang Xiu decisively took the lead and led his most core elite to attack Ardashir.

Again, although Zhang Xiu was used as a blood bag all day long, Sansha and Hua Xiong would still replenish Zhang Xiu's people after sucking Zhang Xiu's blood. In addition, after the first change of the sky, when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's foundation had not been consumed, Hua Xiong also consumed his military soul to replenish Zhang Xiu's guards. Although they were only the first-level smelting guards, they were still guards after all.

Zhang Xiu has been on the front line for the past few years, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has also suffered losses. Coupled with the curse of world consciousness, the overall combat effectiveness has indeed declined, but the core of Zhang Xiu's more than 100 people at least still maintain the combat effectiveness of the Iron Cavalry headquarters, and the core headquarters led by Zhang Xiu now have 400 to 500 people, but they are all serious organizational backbones, at least the second-level smelting ones.

Although they are definitely not as good as Ardashir, Ardashir, how many Holy Death Cavalry do you have?

So charge, charge, charge. At this time, you must speak loudly so that everyone can hear. As for heroic spirit, Zhang Xiu knew it very well. He could not beat Ardashir at all. If he rushed forward, he would be in a mess. But it didn't matter. He said it first. Anyway, no one could see clearly. Whoever roared louder would be stronger. Aaaaaa, charge!

After Ardashir quickly killed the soldiers led by Lou Xiang, he heard a certain arrogant voice. At this time, Zhang Xiu had rushed out of the rain with a spear, as if he was going to fight Ardashir. However, Ardashir just glanced at Zhang Xiu, turned his horse's head directly, and rushed in another direction.

Although there was an absolute certainty that Zhang Xiu and his subordinates would be defeated, if he did so, most of his guards would be lost here, and Zhang Xiu's headquarters were of high quality, so it was very likely that he would be stopped here, and then the main force of the Han army would rush up and directly surround him to death.

After all, at this time, Ardashir and the Holy Death Cavalry were actually separated from their main battle line and harvesting the manpower of the Han army at a high speed. In this case, once they were blocked and surrounded, their main force could not quickly rescue them. Even Ardashir, the king of all kings in the official history, would have to die here.

"Ardashir, don't run if you have the guts!" Zhang Xiu jumped out of the rain and could already see Ardashir's vague figure. He almost rushed up to block the opponent, but the opponent just glanced at him and then turned and ran away. At that moment, Zhang Xiu was stunned.

The battle idea of ​​the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was to fight if they didn't obey. As a result, such a slippery opponent, such an opponent who didn't care about face and ran away at will, and didn't care about the face of the Miracle Legion at all, made Zhang Xiu somewhat doubt his life. Where is the face of your Miracle Legion?

"Asshole, Ardashir, don't run if you have the guts!" Zhang Xiu was furious, and he was about to chase in the direction of Ardashir with a squeeze of his horse's belly. The guards around him hurriedly stopped Zhang Xiu. Don't you know how Cao Hong's troops exploded? If we chase them now, and they shake us off and attack the Xiliang soldiers from other angles, wouldn't that be a replica of the current situation of Cao Hong's army?

Xiliang soldiers may be better at dealing with and organizing in battle than Cao Hong, but Boss, you should have some idea in your mind now. We should have strengthened our organization in the battle line. If we rush forward, Ardashir really can't kill us, but Ardashir shakes us off and rushes to our main formation, and our main formation will also have a gap on the spot.

At that time, Ardashir's main force will rush forward through the gap, and even if the Xiliang soldiers are resistant to beating, they will be beaten half-crippled.

"Damn bastard, don't you have any face at all?" Zhang Xiu's face was livid, but he also understood that it was the right choice not to chase Ardashir now. On the one hand, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not good at chasing, and on the other hand, if he continued to chase like this, Ardashir would turn to the Xiliang front from other directions, and the whole thing would explode!

"Now we can only report to General Cao Ren and ask him to draw elite troops from various corps and then collectively encircle Ardashir according to the earlier estimate. Otherwise, in this situation where each of them fights on their own, it is easy to be defeated one by one." Qi Hao said while pulling Zhang Xiu.

Cao Cao had also discussed how to deal with Ardashir earlier. It was not advisable for a single corps to face Ardashir, because Ardashir's Holy Death Riders were really powerful, so Cao Cao specially formed a special corps to deal with the Holy Death Riders.

This corps is essentially a small-scale elite force with strong survivability and good coordination formed by drawing on the mechanism monsters and numerical monsters from various corps. This elite force of a thousand people mainly does the encirclement and blockade of Ardashir, but now that corps is with Cao Ren...

There is nothing much to say about this. Cao Ren was at the forefront. It was estimated that Cao Ren would defend in front, Ardashir would attack, and then Cao Ren would use this legion to entangle, while others would encircle Ardashir's main force and fight fiercely at the Helmand River crossing.

However, the current situation is that Ardashir arrived almost at the same time as the Han Dynasty, and even Gorgan and others braved the rain and forced their way to the Helmand River crossing first, resulting in the main force that should have faced the Holy Death Cavalry being at the forefront, while Cao Hong, who should have been a stable front and continuously caused equipment damage to the Ardashir Legion, encountered Ardashir.

It can be said that the entire battle arrangement was the opposite of what it used to be. In such heavy rain, if it were not for the powerful messenger, Cao Ren might not receive the news until Cao Hong's troops were blown up. After all, this was an army of tens of thousands, and even if they were advancing in a complete formation, the distance between the front and the back was very far.

"I'm worried that Cao Ren will directly send that legion to strangle the legion blocking the front line." Zhang Xiu said with a gloomy face. Although this can solve the problem and cause considerable losses to Gorgan under Ardashir, Gorgan's front line layout is very different from the current Han army. They are not gathered in one place. Even if all the people blocking the front are wiped out, that's it.

But the time Gorgan delayed was enough for Ardashir to crush the entire Cao Hong army in the rear.

"Then we can only rely on ourselves." Qi Hao exhaled, "What should we do?"

"You go and take people to notify Pang De and Xiahou Dun, let them lead the main force to help us resist, I will go to block Ardashir, now we must block Ardashir, and at present, only my legion can be withdrawn to barely resist Ardashir's main backbone." Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Qi Hao and said, if other legions withdraw such a large scale of main force, they will basically be useless. Zhang Xiu's legion at least still has some combat effectiveness and can maintain a level that will not be easily overwhelmed by non-Ardashir headquarters.

"Okay, be careful." Qi Hao knew that this was indeed the situation after hearing this, and then he raised his hand and ran towards Pang De and Xiahou Dun with five or six elite Xiliang cavalrymen. Then Zhang Xiu ordered people with a gloomy face to determine the position of Ardashir and prepare to block him.

At the same time, Cao Ren, who was at the forefront, had also realized that his side was in a state of decline. It was not because the overall combat effectiveness was not as good as Ardashir, but purely because of the judgment of the battlefield situation and the gap in command.

Even if the overall situation could not be judged now, Cao Ren almost judged what Ardashir was planning just by summarizing the intelligence that the intelligence personnel in the rear kept sending.

"Order Cao Zhen's troops to lead the main force in the front to the rear to block Ardashir!" After judging the current situation, Cao Ren made a judgment that was different from Zhang Xiu's. Although Cao Ren did order these elite troops used to deal with Ardashir to strangle the Gorgan tribe, Cao Ren adjusted the military order as soon as he received the intelligence from the rear.

"Yes!" The messenger led his men into the rain curtain to inform Cao Zhen's elite headquarters and ordered them to go to the rear to execute the order.

"Order Zhang Xiu, Pang De, and Xiahou Dun to defend the rear at all costs, and never let Ardashir lead the Holy Death Cavalry to break into the central army. Order Le Jin's troops to bypass from the flank." Cao Ren quickly issued a series of correct orders.

Although Cao Ren was indeed not as good as Ardashir in reaction and judgment, the hard power and foundation of the Han army were stronger, and they kept their physical strength very well. Although it was true that they failed to reach the Helmand River crossing in advance, which led to strategic failures, they did need to consider the problem of stopping and resting, but their physical strength was indeed well preserved.

It was very different from the long-distance raids under Ardashir, who marched all the way and directly entered the battlefield after reaching the battlefield, relying entirely on their blood and courage.

At least after Cao Ren issued the order to stabilize the front and advance steadily, the Han army was still in a slump, but the overall situation gradually stabilized.

After all, in the current situation, even if Ardashir's subordinates were strong, they could only rely on their blood and courage to maintain the outbreak. After enduring the peak wave, they could only go downhill. After all, not everything was like a monster like the Holy Death Rider, with abundant physical strength far exceeding that of a normal legion.

"Ardashir!" Zhang Xiu finally blocked Ardashir in the chaotic rear army. The backbone of the rear army followed Zhang Xiu to arrange a semi-encircled front line in the main camp, blocking the Holy Death Rider in it. After losing a large number of regular soldiers, the elite backbone of the rear camp was liberated, and naturally gathered together to block Ardashir with Zhang Xiu.

"The mobility of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really poor!" Ardashir adjusted his voice twice, no longer communicating with his telepathy, but mocking with words.

"But even with poor mobility, you are still blocked." Zhang Xiu didn't feel mocked at all. Facts are facts. He has long been accustomed to it. Anyway, Ardashir was blocked.

"I am recovering my strength. What are you waiting for?" Ardashir sneered.

"I am waiting for reinforcements!" Zhang Xiu sneered, "Follow me and kill him!"

Vote if you have votes. It's the end of the month. Sigh. This month is over.
