The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 633: Advance or retreat
Dex looked at the determination in Kumar's eyes, which was the almost transparent calmness that was unique to a dying person.

A sweet taste welled up in his throat. He knelt on one knee and knocked his scimitar heavily on the sand: "I will live up to the general's high expectations!"

As the sound of horse hooves faded away, Kumar turned around and looked at the big flag with the word "Han" in it among the chaotic army.

The remaining soldiers of the Kushan Guards Infantry Battalion were less than a thousand men. The long swords in their hands were already full of holes, and many of them even had to replace their weapons nearby.

The elite of the former empire have now fallen to this state because of his carelessness.

Kumar's heart was filled with regret.

He still underestimated the Han people's methods and was too naive.

Kumar slowly walked towards the direction of the Guards Infantry Battalion with the few remaining guards, and slowly drew out the golden sword at his waist.

In the current situation, it is impossible to send this sharp weapon away.

He must rely on the power of the golden sword to finally stop these Han troops and buy time for Dix and the others.

"Array up!"

A hoarse voice sounded softly.

However, the originally panicked Guards Infantry Battalion seemed to have found its backbone and moved towards the direction of the sound.

"General!" A centurion with a broken left arm staggered towards him, with an unwilling look on his face.

"They have heavy cavalry... we've run out of grappling hooks..."

The Kushan Guards Infantry Battalion was not without means to restrain the cavalry.

But unfortunately, after a night of fighting, they had used up most of their means in order to quickly resolve the rebellion of the Kushan southern warlords.

In order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible and preserve the overall combat effectiveness of the army, Kumar did not allow the Guards Infantry Battalion to rest at all, which led to the current predicament.

Kumar pressed his shoulders, and the touch was like drying leather.

These soldiers have been fighting continuously for nearly five hours, and their bodies under the armor have long been overdrawn to the limit.

Slowly raising the golden sword and pointing it in the direction of the Overlord's Iron Cavalry that was charging again, Kumar had no fear in his heart, only the determination to live and die.

"For the Empire!"

"For the Empire!"

The responses were uneven, but they were like rusty gears finally biting onto the axle and began to turn in blood and fire.

The army formation composed of nearly a thousand remnants had no intention of defending themselves and actually launched a charge against the Overlord's cavalry again.

Sun Ce watched this scene from afar, his expression changed slightly, and he looked solemn: "It's a strong enemy, what a pity!"

After today, this army will no longer exist.

You are a beautiful woman, why do you follow a thief!
Kumar's golden sword once again drew a sharp arc of light under the scorching sun. Wherever the sword pointed, the remnants of nearly a thousand Kushan Guards Infantry Battalion surged like a tide.

Their armor and weapons were badly damaged, and they walked with heavy steps, but an almost paranoid desire to fight burned in everyone's eyes.

That look reminded Sun Ce of the old soldiers who fought to the death under the command of Zhao Yun, Chunyu Qiong and other generals.

That is a kind of bravery that involves knowing that one will die but still biting off a piece of the enemy's flesh and blood.

"Advance without retreat! Kill!"

Kumar's roar tore through the sky.

This extremely exhausted army actually burst out with astonishing speed, and all the soldiers launched a desperate charge towards the Tyrant Iron Cavalry without reservation. On the long swords in their hands, a faint edge flickered.

The black horse advanced on the broken corpses. Sun Ce, who was leading the way, tightly grasped the Overlord Spear and could clearly see the bloodshot in the eyes of the opposing soldiers.

A Kushan soldier faced Sun Ce head-on, clenched his sword, and stabbed it into Sun Ce's chest.

"Looking for death!" Sun Ce instinctively stabbed out with his spear, and the soldier was the first to arrive, piercing through him directly.

However, before Sun Ce could put down his gun, the Kushan soldiers on both sides rushed up again.

Faced with the continuous Kushan soldiers, even Sun Ce had to slow down the charge a little and maintain a certain formation with the cavalry behind him.

The moment the Kushan army's charge collided with the iron cavalry, a dull sound made one's teeth ache.

The impact of the heavy cavalry knocked them away one after another, and the sound of broken bones came one after another.

But the soldiers in the back row continued to advance without hesitation, stepping on the corpses of their companions and attacking the horses' heads, legs and other vulnerable parts with their broken weapons.

After his weapon broke, an old soldier hugged the horse's legs without hesitation. At the moment when his spine was crushed by the iron hoof, he still held on to the tassels on his boots tightly until a long bloody mark was left on his boots.

Kumar's golden sword split the two iron spears and quickly slashed at the horse's legs.

As long as they knock down the warhorses, they can use their flesh and blood to wear down these steel monsters.

The most effective tactic against cavalry is naturally to cut off the horse's legs, but ordinary soldiers simply cannot do this.

But the Kushan Guards were able to do it.

The Overlord's cavalry plowed past, and dozens of riders fell down. However, there were less than 700 people left in the Kushan infantry battalion.

The cavalry drew an arc, turned around and charged again without slowing down.

On the plains, the mobility of the cavalry meant that they had absolute initiative when facing the infantry.

After three consecutive charges, only dozens of people were left around Kumar.

Kumar's golden sword blade was covered with black and red blood scabs, and he was breathing heavily.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first joined the army and felt powerless in the face of the attack by the Northern Huns.

Sun Ce looked at Kumar and the golden sword in his hand with interest.

"Being able to block ten of my moves is not bad."

Kumar stared at Sun Ce, the Han army general who was much younger than him.

He has starry eyes, sword-like eyebrows and a handsome face. His eyes have both the arrogance of a young man and the calmness of a man who has experienced battles.

At my age, I am probably just entering the battlefield, but the man in front of me is already the commander-in-chief of an army.

"The Han people are so terrible!" Kumar exclaimed sincerely.

At this time, he was full of worries about the future of Kushan.

The enemy in front of us alone is probably enough to give the royal court a headache.

But we know nothing about the other side.

"I hope, Your Majesty can make a decision soon." Kumar couldn't help muttering as he raised the golden sword in his hand again with difficulty.

When Kumar's golden sword met Sun Ce's Overlord Spear for the fourth time, the cracks on the sword had spread like a spider web.

He could hear his own rapid breathing mixed with the snoring of blood foam, and every time he swung the sword was accompanied by severe pain in the wound on his left rib, which was the wound left by Sun Ce's spear.

The tremendous pain made his hands numb, and his broken knuckles could no longer bear it.

As the golden sword fell to the ground and the tip of the sword pierced his heart, Kumar no longer felt any pain, only a strange sense of relief.

He looked to the north and seemed to see Dix's light cavalry galloping in the Gobi Desert, and the outline of the Kushan royal court was looming.

He knew that he could never return to the golden palace, and could never report to Emperor Bo Diao again, but at least he had bought the last time for the empire.
