"Their generals and officers have greater flaws than ours. Although they managed to eliminate several of our officers, their rear army’s stockpile of commanders has been exhausted. This means that if you combine the vanguard troops, breaking through won’t be difficult," Leiblalei replied.

Pausing slightly, the other party continued, "Taking into account the Han Dynasty’s prior decoys, we have a lot of room to maneuver, while the opponent’s internal defense along the front line is decreasing notably with their commanders concentrated, except for a few focal points where the defense is steadily increasing."

"Alright, I understand!" Brack answered solemnly. Leiblalei’s response was not what he desired, yet he heard the answer he needed.

The disadvantage of the Han Army is very clear, which is that although their generals achieved victory in the duel, in essence, they don’t possess the ability to directly intercept the Kushan officers.

Currently, although the Kushan Army is trapped within the Han Army’s main force, from another angle, by surrounding the Han Army about to encircle the Kushan, they essentially spread the defense thin everywhere. As long as he can regroup the vanguard before the Han rear disassembles the Kushan, they may not necessarily lose to the Han Army.

Leiblalei glanced worriedly at Brack, seeing in his eyes a pursuit of victory. It was evident the other party no longer viewed this battle merely as a formal challenge but intended to fight hard.

Originally, by reaching this extent, the Han Army had surrounded the Kushan and captured four of their Inner Qi Manifestation commanders, restraining the offensives of all remaining commanders, with three or four combat forces still wandering outside the encirclement.

Under such circumstances, although Brack might successfully rescue each unit of the Kushan Vanguard and unite them by his side, granting the Kushan the ability to break through the Han Army’s encirclement, realistically, having shown all their combat power, acknowledging the higher strategic competence of the Han is the best choice.

After all, Sulapri and others had previously discussed, and even though overinterpretation confirmed that the Han Dynasty was serious, they unanimously believed that even if they couldn’t defeat the Han Dynasty, showing a combat ability that makes a Han victory a pyrrhic one was enough for peaceful coexistence between both sides.

In this current state, although there is a problem with the Han Dynasty setting up the situation, wisdom itself is a form of hard power, so the Kushan have no grievances.

Especially having fought to this point, the Kushan realized that the individual strength of Han soldiers might not be superior, but the Han generals excel in commanding and maneuvering the army, and the Han Army’s resilience and overall coordination far surpasses that of the Kushan.

Though the Central Army was a decoy, even as it was easily sliced by the Kushan, the Han rear army could still launch a fearless counterattack against the Kushan!

Especially when the Kushan’s momentum was at its peak, the Han Army was chaotic yet Unbreakable, a resilience that far exceeds the Kushan’s. If their central army were to be sliced, a great disorder would ensue.

If then they couldn’t stabilize the Belief Blessing, a rout would follow, leading the three accompanying civil officials to understand that there remains a significant gap between Kushan’s and the Han Dynasty’s strength.

This means there is still quite a gap between the Kushan and the Han Dynasty; while various means could bridge this gap, it’s equally possible for a stronger force to easily cut down the weaker in close situations.

After all, performance on the battlefield is unpredictable. From the Kushan perspective, the command of the opposing chief general is quite good, but the disparity with those monstrous commanders in Han Empire history is vast. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Adding that generals themselves constitute a form of hard power, there isn’t much left to say. Now, the Kushan basically acknowledge the Han Army’s overall quality eclipses theirs, but the gap isn’t so large as to create a rout, hence the Kushan feel relatively reassured.

After all, this legion isn’t Kushan’s strongest Land Forces. It’s known that the strongest land forces were taken by Vasu Deva I to quell domestic rebellion and reclaim Central Asia, not to mention the Kushan’s strength lies in their Marines, so even conceding in this battle, the Kushan are confident the Han Dynasty, upon realizing their country’s power, won’t have notions of reestablishing dominance.

Of course, the Kushan also considered whether the opponent faced was the Han Army’s strongest legion, but before Leiblalei could suggest it, the trio collectively dismissed this conjecture; it’s evident this is merely an elite Han Army.

From numerous details, they could tell this Han Army quelled and pacified a group of Barbarians, and upon learning of the Kushan’s existence, they directly brought the Barbarians to suppress the Kushan.

Because the most indicative point is that the Han Army’s chief general and high ranks are all Han People, while amongst the Barbarian high ranks, they spoke Han, but the lower-level Barbarians only knew a few Han phrases. Even stripped of the excess embellishments, these Barbarians should also be Han, but they appear to have lost their heritage, almost assimilated by the wildlands into Barbarians.

In this way, the Kushan suspected the Han main forces might be elite, for instance, Zhang Ren, for instance, Meng Huo, both being Inner Qi Manifestation and possessing Legion Talent. The headquarters led by such generals is never weak.
