In fact, Le Jin's judgment was correct. After Salman took the lead in charge, some minor problems arose on Osven's side. They lacked crew members on the boat, and the remaining soldiers were more or less afraid of boarding the boat.

So much so that after Salman took the lead in charge, the remaining soldiers could not get into the water. To be honest, Osven was confused at this moment. He found that he was really not suitable for making plans. In the end, Osven had to take a boat and go down the water by himself.

It is precisely because of the time that the soldiers who can choose to fight in the water that the original wave of strong attacks occurred intermittently. When Osven rushed to the city wall, the water level had dropped by half a foot.

Cao Ren was able to defend Le Jin at this time because Le Jin's attack was a semi-ideal effect caused by his will distorting reality. Simply put, it was the attack of Le Jin's army. It was more powerful and could be cut out directly from the inside without ignoring the city wall.

However, all Kushan's attacks will be blocked by the city walls. The result is that Le Jin will become more confident the more he fights. Le Jin's legion talent is that his own mind and will affect the soldiers' minds. The more confident Le Jin is, the better the soldiers under his command will perform, and the two sides will be positively correlated.

In this way, in Salman's feeling, Le Jin's fight is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, the people they rushed to the city were all suppressed by Le Jin's own formation.

"Salman, we are here!" Osven stood at the bow of the boat and greeted loudly. He felt much more relieved when he saw Salman still fighting. Although he was quite panicked in this situation, it didn't matter. As long as he rushed to the top of the city, Osven firmly believed that he would win.

"Hold on, our reinforcements are coming, and the other party can't hold it anymore!" The hammered by Cao Ren and Le Jin's joint efforts could no longer hold it. If it weren't for the small number of backbone guards of the same attributes among the personal guards of our headquarters, they would have been overjoyed by Salman, who should have been about to be driven off the city wall.

Cao Ren and Lejin looked at each other. At this time, they had already realized the problem. The Kushan side was not good at water attack. To be precise, it should be that they were not good at water play. The result was that after Cao Ren and Lejin were most worried about at that time, the situation of Kushan taking a large-scale boat on board the city wall did not occur.

You should know that Cao Ren and Le Jin had done a good job in the Beigui soldiers climbing the city wall on a large scale. In a fierce battle, they suffered heavy losses. After Osven appeared, the reserve team Li Dian had the idea of ​​defending the dead and suppressing Kushan with five labor and seven injuries.

Unexpectedly, this situation turned out to be like this. This flood not only did not help Beigui, but even earned Cao Ren and Lejin a ten-day rest time.

Osven roared and rushed up the city wall. His momentum was powerful, but it was useless. He could not lead the Sun Knights to attack the city. Not to mention that the Sun Knights were basically from Beigui. Even if Nangui was from Nangui, he could swim, as an orthodox cavalry, his combat effectiveness was reduced by half.

In this case, how would Osven choose to use the Sun Knight to consume it? After all, this is also the most important elite in Kushan at present.

However, there was no point in it. Osven rushed up the city wall. Le Jin and Cao Ren smiled and surrounded Osven and Salman. They might not be able to defeat these two things when fighting in other places. However, in the city wall, Cao Ren's legion talent and Le Jin's legion talent are simply disgusting people. Can't beat you? Just drag you to death!

Osven and Salman roared repeatedly. The Han army fortress, which was originally thought to be easy to take, was finally proved to be a big pit. Moreover, this big pit could only be felt after they really climbed to the top of the city. They could not be arranged in a formation and were surrounded and attacked by front and back.

Even if the elite Beigui were cheated like this, it would be a little unbearable.

From the rise of the sun to the third o'clock in the sun, the Han army and the Kushan were obviously exhausted, but relatively speaking, Osven and Salman gained the upper hand with their stronger combat power. But just when Osven and Salman thought that the next step was to take down the fortress in one go, a large number of soldiers led by Li Dian to climb to the top of the city.

This is the effect Cao Ren needs. When everyone is exhausted, I still have a new force to join the battlefield.

The morale of the Kushan Legion declined rapidly. Even though Osven knew that he had a new force and the number was larger than that of Li Dian, it was still a question when he would take a boat.

"Retreat." Salman looked at Osven calmly and said, "You can't fight anymore." They have suffered more than a thousand casualties. The opponent's losses will not be less than that of him. But if you continue to fight now, the losses will only continue to accumulate. Whether the fortress can be taken down is still a question.

Osven's face turned pale. He couldn't get through here, so he could only take a detour. However, the mountain path, which was now at its speed, would take seven or eight days to get to the back of the fortress. This was a very fatal time difference.

In addition, the situation in the fortress was not good, Osven was inevitably worried about what he had not considered before. For example, before, he only thought about his fortress and rushed down, rushing over and joining the troops of Urdu and others, and then fighting with Cao Cao in a bloody battle, waiting for Ardashire to stab him back.

What if Ardashir didn't come? What if Ardashir came, the two of them joined forces to kill each other. What if he and Kapil were blocked under the fortress in the opposite direction.

After all, the army was very difficult to pass through that mountain path, and it required a large amount of reserves to achieve it. When they came back, the reserves of the mountain path were consumed and the rear path was cut off by the fortress. Once the Han army had enough strength to chase after him, they could only fight the Han army under the fortress. At that time...

Osven's cold sweat has come down, which is a sign of inadequate thinking.

Having not realized these problems before, Osven felt that he had thought it very carefully. Next, as long as Ardashire came from behind Cao Cao, the main force of both sides attacked Cao Cao, the victory was almost in front of him. As a result, after being blocked by the fortress, Osven finally realized the problem. He seemed to have killed himself?

Thinking of this, Osven hesitated a lot. Taking the fortress was a very important part of the plan, but now even this link has problems, so his plan seems to have collapsed?

"Osven!" Salman saw that Osven was distracted and the arrow had shot at Osven, and immediately shouted and reached out to drag Osven away.

After Osven dodged the arrow, he barely recovered. He looked at Salman who was a little nervous and nodded, took a deep breath, and ordered a retreat.

At this time, Osven had actually reacted. He could no longer defeat the fortress. Li Dian's new force was put into the battlefield. The morale of Kushan was already sluggish. If he continued to fight, he could only add to the loss. There was only the option of retreat.

After thinking about this clearly, Osven did not dare to delay. At this time, the water level had dropped by nearly one foot. At this speed, the flood would completely retreat in about three days. During these three days, Osven was quite silent when retreating.

Le Jin and Cao Ren did not mean to stop Osven from retreating. Apart from using some arrow points to kill some of the slow-running soldiers, the rest were basically allowed to let them go. After all, they were not good at water battles, and their mission was to defend the fortress.

"Win!" Cao Ren cheered loudly when he watched Osven leave against the current, and then ordered the soldiers to quickly search and rescue and catch corpses. In the current climate, floods and dead bodies can easily evolve into plague, so it is better to deal with the corpses as soon as possible.

"There should be no problem for us next. I didn't expect it to be so smooth in the end." Le Jin's face was obviously a bit surprised. It went too smoothly. After the flood they were most worried about, the decisive battle of Kushan climbed the city was over, and it ended in such a terrible way.

"Import the lord quickly and tell the lord the lord about this news so that he can slander the empire's scepter." Cao Ren laughed. He was prepared for the heavy losses here, but in the end the overall loss was far smaller than Cao Ren's psychological preparation.

In the middle of the Helmand River, when Cao Ren defeated Osven, Cao Cao was about to catch up with the Imperial Scepter led by Urdu and the Kushan main legion.

"Strangely, the Helmand River actually rose, and the runoff actually reached the level of the rainy season, and it even increased." The information reported by the scout was collected and passed to the master of Xun You. This time, Xun You was the mastermind.

"Probably, the upstream Osven couldn't bear it anymore and chose to break the dam. It seems that the other party was really prepared." Xun You sighed and said.

At this time, it was only about three or two days before Cao Cao and his friends chased the Imperial Scepter, and Osven came down from the upper reaches, and it was less than ten days. But the problem was that both sides were walking towards each other, Osven ran down, while the Imperial Scepter ran up.

"If Cao Zixiao defended the upstream fortress and failed to reunite Osven and Urdu, the possibility of us defeating the Imperial Scepter would be much greater." Chen Gong looked at Xun You seriously and said, "In this situation, the initiative is still in their hands.

"He can keep it." Xun You said calmly.

"That's good, this will give us at least ten days." Chen Gong nodded, knowing that Kapil and Ur both detoured from the mountain path of the Hindu Kush Mountains on the north side of the Helmand River Valley. Calculate the time, this detour will take at least twenty days.

In addition, after the flood, there will be at least ten days to attack the city. No matter which one Osven chooses, he did not take down the fortress guarded by Cao Ren on the day of the flood. Cao Cao would at least have more than ten days to strangle the imperial scepter.
