Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2709 Black Killer Fights Orochi with Spear, Centipede Needles Shot into Enemy's Eyes

"Zhang Liao! You, along with Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yu Jin, and the other generals, take the cavalry and do not need to participate in the battle!"

"Stay hidden to the side and wait for your opportunity!" Li Mu ordered again.

A merciful general cannot command an army; sometimes, victory always comes at a price!

Heavy cavalry had a clear advantage on the battlefield and were an absolute strategic force in the era of cold weapons.

Especially elite heavy cavalry like these, they can tear a gap in a formation that outnumbers them by dozens of times.

But there is no invincible military unit in this world, and this unit's weakness is right there, so it is not a military unit that can fight a protracted war.

Therefore, after Li Shimin broke out, he didn't waste any time with the Jin soldiers who were attacking the city.

Therefore, Li Mu placed his cavalry outside the battlefield, preparing to pursue Li Shimin.

He believed he could see the weaknesses of the heavy cavalry, and Li Shimin could see the same thing: the enemy would definitely reserve some strength for retreat.

At this moment, Zhang Liao followed behind and chased after them. Once they were exhausted, he could easily annihilate the three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

"Boom!"

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry indeed charged in with unstoppable momentum. With Li Mu leaving the Trapped Camp to guard the central command tent, the units in front, under the command of their respective generals, barely mustered the courage to form ranks.

However, after suffering some casualties, and with the help of fierce generals like Li Yuanba, Li Shimin still managed to break through the defenses after paying a certain price.

After all, although Li Mu had 50,000 infantry and cavalry, apart from those who had died or been wounded before, and the cavalry placed on the flanks, as well as the part that was attacking the city, the infantry that was currently forming a battle formation did not even have 20,000 men. How could they possibly withstand the charge of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry?
However, he did not go any further. Instead, he changed direction and charged straight out of the Jin army's formation, leaving without looking back.

When he charged into the enemy lines without encountering the Trapped Camp, Li Shimin had already guessed Li Mu's plan.

To put it bluntly, the enemy has already used those ordinary infantrymen as sacrificial pawns to wear down their stamina.

Or rather, it's not entirely accurate to call it abandoning a pawn!
After all, Li Shimin couldn't possibly kill all 20,000 soldiers.

The greatest strength of heavy cavalry is that they can tear the enemy's formation apart and then hand the battlefield over to other troops to clean up, not that they can kill a lot of people themselves!
Having already anticipated Li Mu's response, Li Shimin naturally wouldn't waste the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry's strength on these ordinary soldiers.

Otherwise, I won't even have the strength to run away!

"Li Shimin! He's really hard to deal with!" Upon receiving the report from the scouts, Li Mu once again realized how difficult Li Shimin was to handle.

Such an opponent who never makes a single mistake is naturally difficult to deal with! Because there is no other way to deal with such an opponent except by relying on sheer strength.

Many famous generals were able to win, and even achieve some legendary feats, not so much because of their own abilities, but because their opponents made mistakes first.

However, winning in this way does not mean that the general is not capable; on the contrary, it demonstrates the general's capability.

This way of winning is not through opportunism.

Sun Tzu's Art of War also mentions this: First, make yourself invincible, then wait for the enemy to become vulnerable.

Only by ensuring that you don't make mistakes first, and then finding the enemy's mistakes, can you achieve victory.

To be able to make absolutely no mistakes in battle is a terrifying ability in itself. It is precisely because of this that when top generals clash with their armies, it is like the Battle of Jiangxia between Bai Qi and Xu Da, which is completely devoid of any skill; it is just the most ordinary and basic fighting.

Since neither side makes a mistake, neither can find an opportunity to exploit the situation.

"Xingtian, Zhao Gongming, Gao Chong, Jiang Zhong, I would like to trouble the four generals to lend General Zhang a hand!" Li Mu ordered the men beside him.

"Tell General Zhang to focus on wearing down the enemy first, and not to rush into a general offensive!" Li Mu reminded him as he left.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry's decisive retreat failed to adequately deplete the enemy's strength. Therefore, the remaining task was left to Zhang Liao himself.

And now, they can only rely on Zhang Liao himself. Li Mu just left all the cavalry in the army with him. He can't let him lead the infantry to chase after Li Shimin and Zhang Liao, can he?

Moreover, he will next besiege the remaining enemy forces and officially take over the city!
At this time, Xu Cheng's navy had already seized the water gate and marched into the city.

During this time, although the three brothers of Bihan gained a slight advantage, Jiuchong was at a disadvantage.

In particular, Li Shimin at that time had already unleashed a skill that affected the entire army, and it was a skill with a score of 3 points that affected the entire army, and it even had the effect of immunity to the entire army.

Li Shimin's two skills directly widened the gap in strength between Yamata Orochi and Kujo, causing Kujo to be constantly restrained.

After discovering this, another Jin general, Gao Jineng, hid his centipede needle in his wrist and then came to his aid with his spear.

"Ding, Gao Jineng's Black Kill skill has been activated."
Black Kill: Star of the Battle Division, God-Sealing Black Kill, this is the exclusive skill of Gao Jineng of the Black Kill Star.

Effect 1: After this skill is activated, your own attack power will directly increase by 8.

Effect 2: The more you fight, the stronger you become. Every ten rounds you fight, your own strength increases by 1. This effect can be activated up to 3 times.

Effect 3: In a one-on-one duel, reduce the opponent's martial arts strength by 1 to 4 points, depending on the opponent's strength level.

"Gao Jineng's Black Kill skill effect activated: Strength +8, base Strength 105, Steel Spear +1, current Strength increased to 114."

Gao Jineng's act of taking up his gun to fight was actually just a ruse.

What he truly relied on was the centipede stinger hidden in his wrist.

Compared to bows and arrows, hidden weapons, although their attack range is not as far, can only be considered mid-to-close and mid-to-long-range weapons, and cannot achieve the complete long-range output of bows and arrows.

However, it is indeed possible to use hidden weapons at point-blank range. Especially for someone like Zhao Gongming, who uses a weapon in one hand, he can simultaneously use hidden weapons in the other.

Although Gao Jineng uses a two-handed weapon, which is not as convenient as Zhao Gongming's, his centipede needles have a maximum weight limit, and he can launch them entirely by relying on the strength of his wrist.

As for bows and arrows, if you dare to attack at close range like they do, and you can't shoot someone down with one arrow, you'll be attacked at close range by them.

It was precisely because they had prepared to use hidden weapons from the beginning that the three of them fought for more than ten rounds, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was resisting Jiu Chong.

Gao Jineng flicked his wrist, and a tiny silver needle shot out.

"Ding, Gao Jineng's Centipede Skill activated..."
