Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2464 Eastern Barbarians' Double Scheme, Phoenix and Luan in Harmony

Dongyi.

While Yelü Deguang led 20,000 troops north to stabilize the situation in Beiping, the various armies of the Han Dynasty also rapidly pressed towards Yelü Abaoji's third line of defense with overwhelming force.

After the troops arrived one after another, Hulü Guang joined forces with Han Xin once again to attack the most important of the three cities. Wen Zhong and Wanyan Xie also attacked the remaining two cities respectively.

Yelü Abaoji's third line of defense consisted of three cities backed by the Green Water, which together formed the final line of defense.

These three cities, jointly guarding the Lushui River, meant that the Han army was unable to cross the river until these three strongholds were removed. Any attempt to cross rashly would result in immediate attacks from the rear by the troops of these three cities.

Furthermore, a large number of troops would not be able to cross the river at the same time. Even if they did cross the river rashly, Yelü Abaoji, who was stationed on the opposite bank, would surely launch a surprise attack while the troops were crossing.

These two elements, working together, form the third line of defense.

According to Yelü Abaoji's plan, if the Han army attacked, after the losses of the three lines of defense, the final battlefield prepared by Yelü Abaoji would be beyond the Green River.

When breaking through the first and second lines of defense, Han Xin, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, took the lead. However, when it came to the third line of defense, Wanyan Xie, who was originally the slowest, was as fierce as a tiger and was the first to snatch Pingcheng from Wang Changluo.

Within the first line of defense, it took Wanyan Xie the longest to deal with Leonidas, and he didn't catch up until the others had broken through the second line of defense.

But when they reached the third line of defense, he became the fastest. In an instant, most of the frustration in his heart dissipated.

"Although Wang Changluo has the talent to govern a country, he is ultimately just a scholar. When it comes to matters of war, we generals are the ones who should be in charge!" On the city wall of Pingcheng, Wanyan Xie also looked down at the entire city and said with high spirits.

Before this battle, Wanyan Xie also thought it would be a tough one, possibly even more troublesome than the previous battle against Leonidas.

After all, although this city was not as strategically important as the one Leonidas was stationed in, Wang Changluo's reputation among the Eastern Yi people was far greater than Leonidas's.

Among the civil officials of the Eastern Yi, Yelü Helu and Wang Changluo were the most outstanding, and only then could others be considered.

But this battle ultimately proved that while Wang Changluo might be unparalleled in governing the country, when it came to warfare, although he was quite capable, he was not top-notch and could not compare to the trouble Leonidas had caused him.

At this point, Wanyan Xieye had already begun planning how to cross the river first.

However, Wanyan Xie will soon suffer a loss at Wang Changluo's hands. And Wang Changluo will inevitably have to revise his assessment of Wanyan Xie because of this.

That very night, Wang Changlu personally commanded a three-thousand-strong Iron Forest Army, led by Gatlin, Gatlin, and Yelü Changwu, to attack the Han camp.

But at this very moment, within the Han army camp, their warhorses seemed to have gone mad, galloping wildly out of the horse barracks and running rampant throughout the entire camp.

As a result, the entire Han army camp was thrown into chaos in an instant.

At this moment, Wanyan Xie did not expect that Wang Changluo was not the only one plotting against him today, but that Wang Changluo and Xiao Beiming had come up with the plan together, which led to today's events.

"Ding! Wang Changluo and Xiao Beiming's combination skill, 'Harmony of Phoenixes,' has been activated."

The "Harmony of Luan and Feng" skill can only be activated when the users of the "Lone Luan" and "Dark Phoenix" skills are both in the same faction and present together. Effect 1: After activation, both users gain +2 Intelligence.

Effect 2: When scheming against others, you can reduce their intelligence by 1 to 6 points, depending on their intelligence level.

Effect 3: When the two strategists work together to devise plans, the commander's leadership value and intelligence value can be increased by 1-3 points. When one of the two is the commander, this skill effect can be activated to the maximum extent.

Note: If you are not the main general, the leader of the target of the buff cannot be higher than the one with the highest intelligence among the two.

Effect 4: In the case of a situation where the opponent is not prepared, one of their command skills can be randomly disabled.

Note: The commander of the banned target must not have a higher intelligence than the one with the highest intelligence among the two; otherwise, the ban will not be possible.

Effect five: When two individuals are in the same faction and sincerely serve the monarch, it can greatly increase the faction's cohesion and the development of various industries such as agriculture, commerce, and industry.

Tonight, Wanyan Xieye enjoyed a rare privilege that even Tuoba Changping didn't receive in the original historical trajectory.

In the original historical trajectory, by the time Yelü An faced off against Tuoba Changping, Xiao Beiming had already passed away, leaving only Wang Changluo to struggle to uphold the Eastern Yi's double scheme.

Therefore, it is unclear whether this was Wanyan Xieye's good fortune or his misfortune.

"Ding! Wang Changluo and Xiao Beiming's combination skill 'Luanfeng Heming' has been activated. After this skill effect is activated, both of their intelligence will increase by 2."

Wang Changluo's intelligence +2, base intelligence 101, Lone Phoenix +2, current intelligence increased to 105.

Xiao Beiming's intelligence increased by 2. His base intelligence was 99, and his current intelligence has risen to 101.

"Ding! Wang Changluo and Xiao Beiming's combination skill, Luanfeng Heming, has activated its second effect. When scheming against others, it can reduce the opponent's intelligence by 1 to 6 points, depending on the opponent's intelligence level."

Wanyan Xieye's intelligence value decreased by 5, Wang Changluo's intelligence value decreased by 2, and their current intelligence value decreased to...

The suppressive effect of this combination technique is truly outstanding.

After all, the intellectual gap between Wanyan Xieye and Wang Changluo in his current state is too great.

Adding to Wang Changluo's own skill effects, this set of suppression is so powerful that even a god-level intelligence genius would not be able to withstand it, let alone Wanyan Xieye.

Wanyan Xie, as a famous Jurchen general in history, even if he was not the particularly steady type, he would not easily become blindly arrogant.

His behavior today, without any prior awareness of anything amiss, is not entirely unrelated to Wang Changluo's suppression tactics.

This whole process caused him to gradually overlook some details that he should have noticed.

"Ding! Wang Changluo and Xiao Beiming's combined skill 'Luanfeng Heming' effect 3 is activated. When the two are strategists working together, it can increase the main general's leadership value by 1-3 points and intelligence value by 1-3 points. When one of the two is the main general, this skill effect can be activated to the maximum extent."

Currently, Wang Changluo is the main general, with +3 to Leadership and +3 to Intelligence. His base Leadership is 99, and his current Leadership has increased to 102, while his current Intelligence has increased to 108.
