Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Fell into a trap!
No, it wasn't a trap; the other side was prepared.

The surprise attack was real, but they had prepared from the beginning to use light and shadow and illusionary soldiers to absorb the firepower.

Therefore, their first round of brutal attacks almost entirely landed on empty ground.

What should have been the strongest burst of three-eyed gun attacks landed entirely on the Illusionary Warrior, almost wasting all the damage output.

Xu Huang was fully aware of this problem when he was riddled with arrows.

The enemy never intended to defend the city walls or confront them head-on. Instead, they deliberately deployed feints to lure the enemy into charging to both sides.

Arrows, prepared in advance, rained down on the entire section of the city wall.

The smile on Tarimur's face hadn't even formed before it suddenly froze.

Because Xu Huang, who looked almost like a hedgehog, actually led his soldiers to charge in front of Tarimur.

"Die to me!"

Xu Huang held his breath, swung his steel knife, and fiercely slashed down at Tarimur.

"You're the one who should get lost!" Tarim roared, brandishing his weapon as he charged at Xu Huang.

The two sides fought for more than ten rounds without a clear winner, but Tarim had no choice but to turn back.

Xu Huang's main force launched an exaggerated attack, directly charging into the archer unit and unleashing a bloodbath, killing thousands of archers on the spot.

Tarim was forced to retreat repeatedly.

He laid ambushes and made plans, but Xu Huang thwarted all his schemes. If it were anyone else, Tarimur's plans would have been quite brilliant, but Xu Huang was different; he was a veteran from the early days of Xinghan.

Putting everything else aside, he had all the resources needed for refined cultivation and breaking through to the next level, so he simply used those resources to create a refined breakthrough level. Although it was just floor tiles, it was still a refined floor tile.

Combined with Xu Huang's own Qi Breaking Boundary, ordinary attacks simply cannot harm him.

In fact, Tarim's ambush was very effective. Xu Huang was riddled with holes, but through sheer willpower, he fought his way out and led his personal guards to turn the tide, managing to cut down the entire section of the city wall.

"withdraw!"

However, when Xu Huang captured the entire section of the city wall, his face turned green. These bastards really didn't intend to defend the city wall; they actually piled up these flammable oils and other flammable materials on it.

This is an intention to burn them all to death in one go.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Xu Huang roared and led his troops to retreat directly from the city wall.

The next moment, Tarimur's rocket troops had already set the city walls ablaze with flaming arrows.

Fortunately, Xu Huang acted decisively; otherwise, the losses would have been even greater.

Flames shot into the sky, burning almost everything on the city wall.

Xu Huang returned to his military tent looking dejected and humiliated, his face full of resentment, as the enemy had set fire to his own pass.

Yu Jin had no choice, but at least they were certain that the other side intended to hold out to the death, and even planned to decide the outcome through street fighting.

The good news is that the opponent has resorted to all sorts of tactics, which proves that they are indeed under defensive pressure.

"Xu Gongming, prepare to organize a second charge."

"Hey techies, bring down a rain god or a water god or something and put out the flames on the city wall!"

Yu Jin took a deep breath and began to have his secret techniques used.

Under Yu Jin's command, a rain god was pulled down from mythology, and a torrential rain instantly fell on the city walls.

Heavy rain washed over the flames on the city walls, and even flammable materials could only be extinguished by the rain.

The Mongol soldiers reacted even faster, climbing the city walls to reorganize their defenses.

Having learned their lesson from the light and shadow illusion, they began to interfere with its formation, finding the Star Han army hidden beneath the city walls and firing arrows at them relentlessly.

The arrows rained down like a storm, relentlessly suppressing the puppet soldiers as they charged up the city walls.

The puppet soldiers, who had no concept of sacrifice or fear, didn't care about sacrifice at all. Most of them climbed the city walls like hedgehogs and engaged in fierce battles with the soldiers defending the city.

Xu Huang's troops roared and charged towards the city's defenders. The cloud-like atmosphere suppressed their strength, but their explosive charge made it easy for them to get close to the defenders.

Even though it was suppressed by the cloud, the powerful force of its explosive power struck the armor of the defending soldiers, causing a noticeable dent.

The immense force was so overwhelming that the defending soldiers were completely unable to withstand it.

Xu Huang's superior fighting strength made the Mongol Yuan forces extremely troubled, as they simply did not have any legions capable of confronting Xu Huang's main force.

Tarim was very troubled. What archers feared most was this kind of force with super burst damage, capable of traversing long distances in a very short time and launching an attack directly on the legion itself.

From this perspective, Xu Huang was actually very suitable for attacking this pass that was garrisoned by tens of thousands of archers.

Wave after wave of projectiles pinned most of the puppet soldiers to the city walls.

"Oh!"

The immense force slammed into the shields, causing the Mongol soldiers, skilled in defense, to involuntarily tilt. Fortunately, the rebounding force momentarily delayed Xu Huang's main force.

There were no legions in the city capable of fighting Xu Huang's main force to the death, but there were still quite a few heavily armored infantry specializing in defense.

"If you can hold them off, keep going!"

The two sides exchanged blows for a short while, and even in the very first moment, they had already sensed the other's extraordinary nature.

Xu Huang's main force was blocked, and then he smashed forward with even more ferocity.

Nothing could stop them; this was Xu Huang's confidence as he marched straight in.

Before the Mongol soldiers on the city wall could put up a stubborn resistance, Yu Jin's arrows, which were planted in the gaps, had already covered the nodes on the city wall.

This is war; you can call in reinforcements, and so can I.

Do you really think they're just watching a show?

"All troops, listen to my command! Launch a fierce attack!" Xu Huang roared, leading the charge towards the enemy.

The battle lines, which were originally difficult to postpone, were suddenly breached when Yu Jin unleashed a barrage of arrows at the key points of the formation.

However, if such a major mistake is made when facing a ruthless commander like Yu Jin, then being wiped out is not far off.

Tarim, with a death wish, charged toward Yu Jin's position, but before he could reach him, he was intercepted by Xu Huang.

"Prepare to die!" At this moment, Xu Huang held nothing back. His talent meant he was not suited for sparring, but only for fighting to the death.

Now it was a matter of life and death, and Xu Huang roared as he enhanced his legion talent to its maximum.

The fighting power erupting from his arms was far greater than before. "Damn it!"

Tarim roared and, with his personal guards, shoved Xu Huang hard in the face.

"Release the suppression within yourself and unleash your full power!"

The moment Xu Huang swung his wheel-shaped axe, he gave a resolute order to all his personal guards.

As a legion that possesses explosive power, Xu Huang's main force has a special ability: it can remove the protective restraints on the body and unleash its full potential with every cell.

Xu Huang's soldiers forcibly released their own suppression, and their physical abilities were elevated to a level as high as the sky in a short period of time.

After forcibly removing their own restrictions, Xu Huang's soldiers could feel tiny cracks spreading throughout their bodies, and felt a needle-like stinging pain all over their bodies.

After reaching the third talent level, they can activate this ability, which is comparable to the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, for a short time without causing much damage. However, in the current situation, under high-intensity combat conditions, doing so will not end well.

But we can't worry about that now. The point of unleashing this burst of power is to unleash it fully before we die.

Tarimur, who was being relentlessly suppressed by Xu Huang, twitched slightly on his face. He immediately activated his secret technique and punched his heart. His heart began to roar like an engine, and blood-red steam emanated from Tarimur's entire skin.

Both sides possessed the courage to face death, and at this critical juncture, no one backed down.

Xu Huang felt uneasy. Even though he had suppressed Tarim, he instinctively felt uneasy.

After forcefully forcing Tarim to retreat, Xu Huang glanced at the situation on the city wall. Yu Jin's deployment was excellent, and they had almost achieved complete suppression.

Normally, the city wall should have been captured, but Tarim's resolute resistance made Xu Huang feel uneasy.

"General, shouldn't we go up and help?" Yu Jin's deputy asked, looking at the fighting on the city wall with some confusion. In his view, this was a great opportunity to break through the city wall.

"No, let the rear guard prepare for battle, and let Fifth Skylark send someone infiltrate to check the layout inside!" Yu Jin said coldly, showing no emotion whatsoever because of Xu Huang's desperate efforts on the city wall.

When Yu Jin enters command mode, everyone is just a pawn to him, the only difference being their value. He will not be swayed by emotions in the slightest.

Like Xu Huang, he was also uneasy. He didn't know whether this unease came from within or without, but he was certain that there was definitely a problem.

So while guarding against enemies behind him, he also sent people to scout out the situation inside the city.

"They wanted to launch a series of attacks, yet refused to abandon the city walls... their aim was to prevent us from having a single place to gain a foothold..."

Yu Jin squinted, constantly adjusting the light and shadow projected by the Fifth Lark, searching for the problem.

What the eye cannot see is often the most dangerous.

"die!"

Xu Huang swung his axe at Tarimur, who caught the axe with his arm and stabbed Xu Huang with his spear. Then, the spear transformed into a blade and tried to slice Xu Huang in half.

Blood splattered out, Xu Huang's whole body tensed, his internal energy surged, and he gripped the spear tightly. Lines appeared on his arm, allowing the axe to penetrate deeper into Tarimur's body.

I will be seriously injured, while the other side will die.

This was Xu Huang's judgment. His unease urged him to end the battle as soon as possible, so he chose the fastest and most dangerous way to fight.

However, Tarim still gritted his teeth and persevered. He clearly felt death knocking at his door, but even if he was going to die, he would drag it out until the very last moment.

The axe blade mercilessly sliced ​​open Tarimur's chest, and scattered entrails and blood splattered out with the blade.

But the next moment, as if time and space were distorted, Tarim returned to its original state.

Ignoring the lingering pain in his body, Tarimur drew his spear and, taking advantage of Xu Huang's inability to change his move, thrust it into Xu Huang's heart.

Xu Huang abandoned his axe, gritted his teeth, and used his arms to block, managing to wed the spear through two large holes.

The guards from both sides rushed forward and hacked and slashed, leaving five or six corpses behind, before retreating to cover each other.

Although both sides suffered heavy losses, Tarim did withstand the pressure of Xu Huang's all-out attack.

However, without the presence of two fierce generals, Xu Huang's main force was clearly superior to Tarim's personal guards in terms of combat strength.

Although resistance on the city walls began to wane, everything was still in place.

But at that very moment, the earth shook violently, and the sound of horses' hooves, like thunder, appeared on the horizon.

"coming!"

As the earth shook, Yu Jin quickly switched the light and shadow, only to find that the cavalry that could be seen with the naked eye were completely invisible to the light and shadow magic, as if these cavalry did not exist at all.

Yu Jin now knew where his unease came from: tens of thousands of cavalrymen had silently appeared behind the army, a deadly threat.

"Has it been dragging on for too long?"

Yu Jin recalled the flames on the city wall earlier; the other side was deliberately stalling for time.

He had to admit that the other side had succeeded, subtly hinting that they planned to engage in a street battle, making the delay seem reasonable.

But the other side was actually waiting for reinforcements.

"A large number of cavalry appeared thirty miles away. Judging from their previous equipment and accessories, they should all be the Imperial Guards!"

Palmiro's expression was not good. With the light and shadow techniques rendered useless, Fifth Lark was like someone who had lost an arm, and his value on the battlefield was greatly reduced.

Relying solely on assassinations to cause trouble, Fifth Lark is not even close to meeting the threshold for three talents.

"Send the message back to the rear: the Mongol Yuan have cracked the light and shadow technique. We need to improve our technology!" Yu Jin calmly instructed his deputy.

Fortunately, he had taken precautions. Although tens of thousands of cavalrymen were terrifying, he had anticipated this and made arrangements in advance. It was still not too late to strengthen the defenses.

but……

Yu Jin understood that the enemy wouldn't be foolish enough to launch a direct attack; they only needed to roam and provoke them from behind to cause them great trouble.

"Fifth Lark, get them all onto the city wall. Help Xu Gongming take control of the city wall at all costs and drive the enemy down."

Yu Jin made a tough decision: to live as if facing death.

Being attacked from both sides has had too great an impact. Even if he wanted to call a retreat now, it would be too late. The best course of action is to directly storm the city.

But this is actually the worst possible strategy. Being stuck here in a dilemma, and when the enemy's follow-up army arrives, they will only end up defeated and killed.

But this was the only option left. At least they could rely on the city walls to temporarily protect the elite headquarters and give them a chance to recuperate.

As for these puppet soldiers, they're dead, so be it; there's nothing to regret.

"I won!"

Tarim smiled smugly. He had won his gamble. He had fought desperately and managed to hold off the Xinghan army to the greatest extent possible, thus completing his mission and defending the pass.

Just as he was laughing, a short sword pierced his heart from behind. Palmiro revealed himself with a cold expression, and before anyone could react, he leaped off the city wall and vanished again. (End of Chapter)
