Chapter 3317: Change of lane
At this moment, Barak's expression was distorted, and it was all over. Even if the army under his command had the combat ability to wipe out the opponent, how could the Han army's cavalry chase without cavalry intercepting him? The only infantry on the opponent, that is, the group of infantry equipped with shock, run as fast as a rabbit, how to chase him?
Gumala sighed as he looked at Pang De and others who had run away quickly. If they had supplies like the Han Dynasty, they wouldn't have to do so. If they were also camels, the Han army would definitely not be able to escape today. There was only one way to die in battle.
However, there is not so much if they need to prepare logistics supplies, so they dare not use too many cavalry in the desert battlefield. Because the distance from Kandahar to Herat, if they use war horses, they need too much food and supplies, so they can only use infantry.
But it is precisely because of this reason that they were quite powerless when facing the retreating Han army. All the Han soldiers had a camel as a mount. Even if there were no shield guards, they could run as fast as cavalry in the desert and lasted for a long time.
"Defeated." Looking at Pang De and others who were retreating quickly, Barak gave up after chasing for a quarter, and then was quite disappointed. He stood there with a sword and a gun, and his plan was completely finished. There was no hope of stabbing the main force of the Cao army, and it was also impossible to continue attacking Herat.
"What should we do now?" Sahel asked after wiping his blood, looking at Barak, "Go forward, or bypass?"
Since the Han army retreated, no matter whether it is the main force of Cao's army in front or the city in Herat, they will receive news. In this way, whether it is Gumara's plan or Kapil's original plan, they are actually done.
"Sweep the battlefield and walk around the Garn Mountains-Sahad Plateau. We still have a chance." Gumara came over and sighed, "I was careless this time."
In fact, Gumala thought very well, but she really didn't expect that the Han Dynasty would suddenly send several elite teams to come, so that everything she planned before became empty talk.
"It's not your fault. The Han Dynasty has too much capital. We have miscalculated a lot of things." As he said, Barak reached out to pick up a Han army shield with almost no trace of damage from the desert and handed it to Gumara. Gumara reached out for unknown reasons.
The unexpected weight directly allowed the shield to be removed from Gumara's hand. If Sahel had not quickly reached out to grab it, the shield that fell down due to his own weight could have broken Gumara's legs. After all, Gumara's physical fitness was not as good as half of the soldiers.
"This?" Sahel was really shocked at this time. Although he had fought with the shield guards before, he did not have direct contact with the soldiers. Now he was touching the heavy shield. After his shock faded away, he only left an indescribable complexity.
"Do they use this kind of equipment?" Gumara asked with a gloomy face as she touched the shield.
"Yes, this is what Nilanjan said at that time. It is completely different from the kind of defense we thought. What we thought was heavy and this heavy, hey!" Barak sighed softly, "I think the gap between us and the Han Dynasty may really not lie in the quality of the individual soldiers."
The other two nodded when they heard this, as they recognized Gumara's guess. Gumara herself was limited by the world's cognitive level and could only speculate within the scope of her cognition, and came to a conclusion that was in line with her own cognition.
"If this is the case, it's normal." Barak nodded and said, they also have the Padou Armored Soldiers, which is also a legion with heavy armor. Although the whole body equipment is not as thick as this big shield, relatively speaking, they do not thicken their weapons and equipment, because no matter how heavy they are, even Padou Armored Soldiers will not be able to fight flexibly.
"This should be a special top legion. There are two on the south side, and this one is obviously half here. I think the Han Dynasty cannot make such a legion that is too big. If you think about it carefully, it should be built by combining the strength of the whole country. We should be able to do it." Sahel said with peace of mind, once again gaining confidence.
Barack nodded and figured out the current situation. It was obvious that the Han Dynasty's legion was the kind of legion that was built to support the table with the whole country.
"Now think about what we will do next." Barak looked at Gumara and asked.
"I still recommend going to the Garn Mountains-Sahad Plateau, then detour back to the Kiltar Mountains, and then follow Suleiman to Kandahar. Although I have been spared, I can definitely avoid the Han Dynasty. And a very important point is that I may not be able to attack the Han Dynasty when I go back like this." Gumara once again mentioned the suggestions he had made before.
"Is this true?" Gumara looked at Sahel and asked.
After thinking about it, Sahel agreed to Gumara's suggestion. After all, if you continue to stay here, whether the Han Dynasty sends troops from Herat or the main force of the Cao army, it may block them. If the current situation is blocked, it will be nowhere to die.
"Let's go west." Seeing that Gumara and Sahel were both like this, and they had no good ideas, Barak decided to take a detour back to Kandahar.
"I hope there will be no more accidents this time." Sahel sighed and said, the soldiers who died in the Han army and Kushan had been sent to the centurion to buried on the spot.
"It shouldn't be. Although I don't know how long it can last, I'll pass on the traces of our marching to another direction. Of course, this is to deceive the war eagle." Gumala sighed and said, "But the news of a melee with the Han army here should make the main force of the Han army in front calm down for a while. This is an opportunity."
Thirty miles north, Pang De was given an injection while asking someone to send a war eagle to inform Cao Cao of the situation in the Lezstein Desert. Although they did not take advantage of this time, they did solve a major hidden danger for Cao Cao.
"The losses were heavy." Pang De counted the soldiers behind him and calculated the scale of his own killing. His face turned a little blue. The scale they killed was slightly more than Cao Zhang at most, but the losses were much greater than Cao Zhang. This comparison of war losses made Pang De and Yan Xing involuntarily think about whether they would also be converted into shield guards.
