Aldashir had already shrunk the front line and began to delay. His original idea was to wait for the arrival of his reinforcements, and then pushed Xu Huang and others out in one go. Unexpectedly, his reinforcements had not arrived yet, but the news of the fall of the city behind had been conveyed.

It would be fine if it was just a city, but it could be said that it was because of an accident that the Han army successfully defrauded the city, but now the seal letters from the two county towns have been sent to Ardashir. With Ardashir's vision, it is natural that these two sets of seal letters are true.

But it is precisely because it is true that it makes people even more desperate.

How many Han army had passed the blockade of the northwest mountain pass of Kabul and entered Kabul, and how many were now taking advantage of the heavy rain to conquer the city and land in their core area. Just thinking about it, Aldashir inevitably felt desperate.

"Bakza, command the Immortal Guards' Palace, retreat." Ardashir, who was extremely silent in the cold rain, only thought for a few seconds and made up his mind that it was impossible to continue fighting. It is important to block the Han army at the western mountain pass of Kabul, but when a large number of Han army had entered the Kabul River Valley, it was meaningless to continue to block here.

Even Ardashir could understand that the Han army sent these two seals to increase pressure on him, which also means that the Han army was not that strong, but this was an open conspiracy. If the other party could seize the two county towns, he would not bet on whether the other party could take over the Kabul county town.

Considering that Gorgan, Farres and others received the news that they would definitely rescue the northwest mountain pass and the captured county town. In case of a mistake, the Han army led the main force to attack the Kabul county town and took it down. Everything Ardashir had done for so many years was wasted.

Therefore, for Ardashir, if the scale of the Han army in the rear cannot be determined, it is meaningless to continue fighting with Xu Huang here. Even if he annihilated Xu Huang, as long as the Han army that penetrated deep into the Kabul River Valley is not resolved, it will be meaningless.

From a strategic perspective, it is no longer advisable to continue fighting with Xu Huang, fighting for both sides to suffer losses, and the Han army may continue to attack from the front and back. This wrong step is to miscalculate the size of the Han army in the Kabul River Valley, and Ardashir is likely to be directly defeated.

He retreated and met with Gorgan and others, and then dealt with it. Considering that Kabul's greatest protection, that is, the Northwest Mountain Road, it is difficult for Ardashir to occupy absolute initiative as before. He can suppress the Cao family at any time, and the entire battle situation will be completely reversed.

In other words, the former is a chance to be done on the spot, while the latter is a blunt knife to cut his body, but it will not die suddenly. Maybe there is still hope of a turnaround in the future.

Even though this hope is quite slim, the current situation is here, and Arda Hill has the only choice.

"General!" After receiving the news, Nehwan looked at Ardashir with disbelief. Although this guy has all kinds of problems, he has really learned military strategy. In his opinion, there is no way to retreat at this time. The opponent's life is really a loss, but at worst, both sides will suffer. Now that they retreat, what are they doing?

"There is a fire in the rear." Ardashire handed both sets of seals to Nihawen. Nihawen didn't even look at them and threw the seal aside.

"What can I do if there is a fire in the rear? In this situation, even if the Han army has entered 20,000 people, what kind of results can we achieve in conquering cities and land in Kabul? It is rainy weather, and the Han army is also a human being. The time they can support for food and food supplies is limited. Their power in the rain is limited. What can they conquer two or three?" Nehvin shouted at Ardashir loudly, "We are basically veterans on our side, so what can we do if we have letters from home?"

Nihawen's idea was very cruel, that was, let the Han army in the rear go to conquer the city and land. They blocked the place and pushed Xu Huang out. After blocking the northwest entrance, they gathered all the generals and schoolmen under Ardashir to catch turtles in a jar for the Han army entering the Kabul River Valley!

"The Cao family is very strong, and I have seen it today. Every one of them has the strength of no less than our top centuries. There is no doubt that this is definitely the trump card of the Cao family. As long as we survive this wave, can Cao family have a second wave?" Nehvin said loudly to Ardashir, "If he really can have a second time, then what else can we stick to!"

Nehwen is a purebred nobleman, the kind of nobleman who does not regard the bottom class as humans, so he can think coldly in the face of this situation, but because of this coldness, he can see clearly that the Han Dynasty is forcing them to return to the army, which shows that the Han army is very strong, but it has not yet reached the level of crushing. Since that is the case, why not fight, they also have reinforcements!

"Retreat. If we completely lose the people's hearts, we will not even stand firm in Kabul." Ardashir said with a sigh, "I know what you mean. Since the other party is conquering the city, it will definitely not be able to get through in a short period of time. We only need to fight with the Han army on the opposite side here. When the other party realizes that we are not retreating and come to attack, we will last a long way at most. Gorgan and the others will come. At that time, concentrating all our forces will indeed make it possible to annihilate the Han army."

"Then why should we withdraw?" Nehvin asked Aldashir. He was willing to follow Aldashir. Isn't it because Aldashir has such a hint of hope, and Aldashir is indeed a talented and strategic commander who can lead them to break through the predicament, but what is this choice now? It is to cut the flesh with a blunt knife and then bleed!

"Because the Han army entering the Kabul River Valley does not have to come and attack us. Once we choose to continue the stalemate here, they only need to divide half of their troops to carry out destruction. Now, if they blow up mountains and block the river in such heavy rain..." Ardashir said helplessly. In this case, the damage that a team of destruction can cause is too great.

Especially when the main forces of the Han army attacked them from the front and back, Gorgan and others had to lead the main force to rescue. After the defense of the entire Kabul River Valley was completely empty, the losses that this group of destructive teams could cause would not be too far away, not to mention that Ardashire was completely destroyed.

"But if we cannot repel these people here and force them to retreat back to the mountain road, we will even lose the initiative behind us, and the war will be launched in the area we control. Will the losses be smaller than now?" Nihawen asked Ardashir loudly, and then sighed softly, "General, you can't retreat, fight, even if the losses in the rear are heavy, we will at least hold the entire Kabul. As long as we block here and find the road where the other party comes in, we still have hope."

Nehhwen didn't say the following words, but Aldashir knew very well. He knew that what Nehhwen said was that if the Han army retreated like this and the Han army controlled the Northwest Mountain Road, it would be only a matter of time before they were defeated. Unless Aldashir could still regain the northwest mountain pass of Kabul. The question is how many people the Han army sacrificed to seize the strategic location, would it be so easy to let it go back?

"Get back." Ardashir said bitterly. If the Han army really destroyed all people's livelihood in this heavy rain, then how can he make progress even if he continues to gain a foothold in Kabul? Relying on the resting people in his hands? What a joke, how many of them are there!

Nehwan was extremely angry, but finally sighed and said nothing more. He led the heavy losses of the thunder and Ardashir to retreat quickly. He could not convince Ardashir. Even if he thought his choice was correct, he could not change Ardashir's idea.

With the death guard behind the palace being killed by the small half, Xu Huang finally felt at ease and won. Although he didn't know how Barak did it, they did win. They successfully seized the northwest entrance of the Kabul Mountain Road and would never have to face the bad terrain again.

"It's been fought." Cao Ang looked at the valley that suddenly became clear. He didn't feel cold when he fought before, but after the war stopped, he suddenly felt the biting chill.

"Appoint all soldiers to drink ginger candy water to drive away the cold, and take rock sugar, quickly clean the battlefield, and then rushed to Shakardala County at full speed." Xu Huang looked at his side who had suffered heavy losses, but did not dare to delay. He knew very well that the current situation was not stable. Even though he was only one step away from victory, if he wanted to pick the fruits of victory, they had to meet with Barak, and after Xiahou Yuan and others successfully led 40,000 soldiers to arrive here, they would be considered a complete success.

"General, send a message to General Xiahou Miaocai quickly and let him lead the main force to Kabul as quickly as possible. Next is the time to harvest." Xu Huang took a deep breath, suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart, turned his head and told Cao Ang not to be excited. The more this time, the more cautious it is.

"Appoint Le Jin to lead a thousand shield guards to guard the mountain pass. After the others have been rectified, follow me to Shakeldala County." After Xu Huang reminded Cao Ang, he quickly issued a new order. The northwest entrance of Kabul must be blocked. This is related to whether Xiahou Yuan and others can arrive, and whether Xiahou Yuan and others can arrive is related to the final result of this battle.

Ardashir's main force gathered together, and he could indeed kill nearly 10,000 backbones led by Xu Huang and Barak, but it would never be possible to annihilate the Han army's main force after the reorganization. Therefore, in order to avoid Ardashir from killing one of the rebellions, a main force must be left to be stationed in the northwest mountain road of Kabul to ensure the inbound and out of the Han army's subsequent reinforcements.

In Xu Huang's opinion, the only one who is suitable for this matter is Le Jin. As for Le Jin, who has given all the remaining 1,000 backbone shields to Le Jin, not leaving one for his own family, and even further diluted his own troops, Xu Huang didn't care at all.

When the war reached this point, the real killer move was not on them, the backbone elites, but on the scale of subsequent troops. They only needed to meet with Barak and defend Shakrdala County to the death, so that the Han Dynasty had a strategic fulcrum within the Kabul River Valley and could steadily control Kabul's import and export. Then victory was only a matter of time.

Xu Huang had never expected a quick victory or something. For him, as long as he stood firm in Kabul, everything would be fine in the future. So now Xu Huang, who is less than 5,000 people, decisively divided a thousand backbones into the northwest mountain road of Kabul.

"We must defend this place no matter what. Even if Ardashire kills a retaliation, we must defend it. We must rely on the terrain here to drag the main force of our army." Xu Huang handed this task to Le Jin very seriously.

"Even if I die here in battle, I will not let Ardashire take back the mountain road." Le Jin said with a sweet expression. The situation has come to this point. For the generals and soldiers under Cao Ang, the light of hope has appeared, and the fighting spirit is three points stronger than before.

"Okay." Xu Huang nodded and quickly transferred the shield guard to Le Jin. Then he counted and cleaned it up, and more than 300 people were assigned to send the wounded soldiers into the cliff passage. On the one hand, it was to shelter from the rain, and on the other hand, it was to treat them. As long as these wounded soldiers were well treated, half of them could recover.

"You go first, we will be here in a while." Zhang Huang, who was carried into the cliff passage, said to Shi Gai and others. Even if they were truly top veterans, it would be difficult to ensure that they were fine on such a battlefield. For example, Zhang Huang now has one arm missing.

"You'll come soon?" Huang Xiu asked Zhang Huang with blood. He also felt outrageous. After his fifty years of accumulation was broken, he was not beaten to death by Arda Hill. I have to say that Zhang Ping is still very reliable. He saved his life. In addition, the super resistance and recovery ability brought by this young body. Although Huang Xiu felt uncomfortable, he was okay.

"Just break your arm, just wait for me to find it." Zhang Huang said with a wry smile, "There is a strong special nature of will. After picking it up, I will press it, and it won't take long to connect. There is no big problem. I'm just careless this time, so you should be careful. In addition to the normal Holy Death Knight, there are some guys in them who have no less than ours. I was careless for a moment."

It's only Zhang Huang. After someone else was cheated, they all died. No matter what, it was a carrier of inheritance. Although it was not too difficult for Zhu Tao to kill the opponent, this kind of thing was terrible, both in combat power and survival power. Especially when he took the lead, even Zhu Tao could be killed by the level of Zhu Tao. Zhang Huang was unlucky and encountered one, and was attacked by the other party and took off his arms directly. If it weren't for his combat power being at the will level, he would have been beaten to death.

"Guangyuan, are you okay?" Ba Xiu looked at Guangyuan and asked. Guangyuan had seven or eight large wounds on his body. Even if such wounds were placed on Ba Xiu, Ba Xiu could not guarantee that he could survive.

"Do you think I'm fine?" Guangyuan said with a weak face, "But you can't die. You still have a tone. Give me some sugar and let me replenish it."

Because Guangyuan was completely unaware that he was a demon god and was still a human being, this injury really had a considerable impact on him, and he became much weaker. Fortunately, he didn't think that the injury could kill him, but he just felt that it needed to be cultivated for a period of time.

Seeing that Guangyuan could still be so joking, Baxiu felt that it was not a big problem. He probably couldn't die, so he felt much more at ease. Although it was normal to die at their age, there was nothing to be sad. After all, it was rare to be seventy years old, and they all lived to this age, so there was no regret.

"Brother Zhu and Brother Peng are both dead?" Guangyuan swallowed a few pieces of candy and energy his cells. He was in a clear state. He looked around and asked with some confusion.

"Well, Brother Zhu killed a living inheritance. Brother Peng had no choice. Xu Yuan was seriously injured by a strong man on the opposite side. He sent Xu Yuan out and trapped himself. We didn't have time to save him. The Holy Death Knight was really strong enough." Ba Xiu said calmly. He did not die like this because his brother who had known him for decades. Anything angry was that when they came, they knew that Zhu Tao would definitely die here. As for Peng Hong, it was inevitable.

"The number of Holy Death Knights is small, and they are really powerful in other aspects. How many have you killed?" Guangyuan breathed, looking at the appearance of no injuries, but Ba Xiu was breathing, and realized that the other party was actually a serious injury.

"Four, the fourth one almost killed me. To be honest, if my heart muscle had not been tempered and extremely strong, my heart would have been broken with the last blow. Fortunately, my heart was the strongest muscle in my body." Ba Xiu said with lingering fear. If he could live, he still wanted to live. After all, his oath could last for three years. Moreover, he had a son and grandson, and his family was happy. If he could survive, he still wanted to accompany his children and grandchildren.

"I didn't kill any of them." Huang Xiu said speechlessly.

"Although you didn't kill any of you, thanks to you, if you don't have you, it would be a problem to make Ardashir suddenly appear." Zhang Huang, who fell to the ground, said with some fatigue. Although he had the will to surpass himself, he could curb his physical condition, but excessive blood loss still made him feel dizzy.

"I found it, Uncle Zhang, your arm, I'll bring it back to you, but it's been too long since I left my body. Is it okay?" Ma Pin limped back.

"Stop talking nonsense, just give it to me, where is Feng Ke?" Zhang Huang said to Ma Pin in anger. He took his arm and pressed it directly, and used his will to transcend and start activating it. After completing the docking, this arm is safe. Of course, there are big problems with this rough installation, but they also have professional treatment and first aid staff Feng Ke, and cell-level communication to learn about it.
