Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1022 The Cunning and Cruel Chi You

Gale-force winds and torrential rain enveloped the city of Jingzhou.

Chi You seemed to have easily thwarted the first wave of Mongol attacks.

However, the Mongol Yuan dynasty was better prepared.

"Have the priests alter the celestial phenomena, dig open the river channels, and flood Fanxiang directly!"

A ruthless glint flashed across Temur's face. In any case, Jingzhou was already a no-man's land, so it was a war they could wage without restraint.

Since Chi You could take advantage of the terrain, so could they.

As the flood raged, the entire Jingzhou area was transformed into a vast swamp in just one day.

"Let the prepared fleet sail downstream. I want to see if these demons and monsters can stop it!"

Temur's orders were linked one after another, and as Jingzhou was turned into a vast expanse of water, the Mongol Yuan navy rushed down the river.

"Come on!"

With a roar, the naval commander Temutuo spurred his warship to accelerate.

At this moment, the few remaining naval soldiers on the ship desperately activated their stored cloud energy, employing astonishing tactics and techniques.

In order to make the warships reach speeds that would be absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, they even resorted to tactics that could cause irreversible damage to the warships, causing them to burst forth at unimaginable speeds and rush toward the shadowy Jiuli warriors on the shore.

The Jiuli warriors stationed on the shore clearly saw how the enemy moved.

The powerful thrust even caused the front half of the warship to fly off the water.

Before Jiuli's riverside ambush could even begin, it was shattered by the combined attack of Juehong and the flying ships.

Guan Yu, who was watching the battle, stroked his beard. He knew that in another historical timeline, he had flooded the seven armies and become a powerful figure in China in the same way.

However, it is clear that the Mongol Yuan dynasty further refined that foundation.

The Jiuli soldiers who were standing guard on the shelves had no idea that the Mongol offensive would be so fierce.

Under the deliberate manipulation of the Mongol soldiers, the ships crashed directly into the makeshift platform.

The Jiuli soldiers, who had jumped into the water to avoid a collision, were in a sorry state when faced with the Mongol soldiers who were attacking from their high positions on the warships.

"Something's not right. Chi You's outer perimeter seems to consist mostly of cannon fodder, with only a portion being Jiuli warriors. It seems they're using cannon fodder to determine the main direction of the Mongol invasion!"

When Han Xin saw the complete defeat of the Jiuli forces in the first round, he realized that something was wrong. He had faced the Jiuli warriors directly before, so he knew their strength very well.

"A mix of deception and reality, reality and deception, Chi You truly mastered the art of war. The Mongol Yuan dynasty has now shot itself in the foot."

The plan to send the warships down the river was good, but the problem was that the resistance from the other side was extremely weak, and because of the characteristics of warships, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue forward.

But this advance will undoubtedly be met with an ambush.

When the fleet arrived at an area where the water level was neither too deep nor too shallow, a large number of Jiuli warriors immediately rushed out.

These Jiuli warriors walk directly on water, which is the initial talent of the Kshatriya warrior legion, and also a talent framework stolen from Xinghan.

Unlike the miraculous Kshatriya warrior legion, the talent framework of these Jiuli warriors is closer to that of the original Kshatriya warrior legion.

That is, the supernatural ability of divine footwork, which is based on the visualization of gods and Buddhas, is an extension of the talent of confusing time.

"Fire arrows!"

Temutuo was very uneasy as he watched the Jiuli warriors approaching them at high speed.

"Puff puff puff puff~" A continuous rain of arrows hit the water, and the Mongol soldiers who were shooting the arrows didn't even have time to see what was happening.

The Jiuli warriors, who inherited the old version of the Kshatriya talent framework, had already passed through the rain of arrows and were charging straight toward them.

"It really is that kind of supernatural speed trick. Chi You really likes retro stuff..." someone complained.

"I'm afraid it's not because of retro style, but because this talent framework is very suitable for Chi You himself. He can filter out the nature of the fragments of the sacred songs of the past and have his legions visualize them, so as to acquire combat power as quickly as possible!" Zhuge Liang described in a deep voice.

The Jiuli warriors had completely passed through the rain of arrows and were right in their faces.

Temut's face looked quite grim.

The Jiuli warriors almost managed to dodge the rain of arrows by force, and when they couldn't dodge them, they simply used their longswords to deflect them.

As a seasoned officer, he knew very well that while this matter seemed very simple, it was extremely formidable for an entire legion to maintain such flawless parrying speed during a charge, coupled with swords that were almost invisible.

This fighting force completely surpasses their naval forces, and their long-range attacks are completely ineffective, making it a dead end.

The opposing side attacked them using the most effective methods to counter them.

"Clang!" A crisp metallic clang rang out as Temuto blocked the attack from the other side.

Without hesitation, the Jiuli warriors bypassed him and unleashed a flurry of powerful strikes, slashing at the other soldiers.

Their objective was clear: to kill Mongol soldiers.

Commissarization is not their optimal goal.

With a piercing clang of metal on metal, the Jiuli warrior's broadsword swept across with incredible speed, cleaving the opponent in two. No matter how the opponent parried, the battle ended as soon as their defenses were broken.

The ferocious slashes instantly killed a large number of Mongol soldiers.

"How exactly did they do that?"

The spectators, including many of Xinghan's generals and officers, were momentarily stunned.

It was clearly following the old Kshatriya warrior legion's style, but at the moment of attack, it surprisingly switched to the attack mode of the elite warriors.

But these Jiuli warriors clearly only have two talents.

"It's probably the power of the divine and demonic soldiers that has been unleashed. They must have used blood sacrifice to offer a group of gods and demons to these soldiers, which is why they have the ability to walk on water and confuse time."

"Chi You seems to have made progress again?"

Everyone frowned. Chi You's progress seemed a bit too fast, or rather, he wasn't progressing, but rather experiencing a resurgence.

Compared to when they fought each other, Chi You's methods became much more flashy and unpredictable.

Clearly, during the final battle, Chi You received a large amount of information, and then integrated this information as the snowball effect rolled out in Jingzhou.

Facing an opponent who had almost mastered all of Xinghan's talent framework, the Mongol Yuan side was clearly caught off guard.

It seems they had no idea that Chi You's methods would become so diverse.

The flood trapped and killed the Mongol soldiers who tried to escape. After an ambush, the Mongol side suffered almost complete casualties, while the Jiuli suffered very few losses.

The boarding maneuver was superb; anyone could see that this group of Jiuli warriors had come specifically to counter the fleet's navy. They were Chi You's countermeasure card for this Mongol-Yuan navy, and the effect was excellent, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire fleet, which barely fulfilled one-tenth of its potential.

Its only contribution was probably defeating the cannon fodder guarding the shore.

Clearly, this exchange was very profitable for Chi You.

After suffering a minor setback, Temur became more serious. He no longer regarded Chi You as an ordinary opponent, but rather as a challenger.

To challenge Chi You from the perspective of a latecomer.

This shift in mindset made Temur more cautious in his methods.

It's like a wolf king about to lead his pack to attack the giant elephant.

"Look, Chi You has started the blood sacrifice again!"

"Using war to sustain war? It seems that Chi You has indeed learned a lot from us."

"I feel something's not right, Chi You's behavior is not right..." Jia Xu pondered, deducing everything that had happened.

No matter how he tried to deduce it, he couldn't find anything strange about it.

But that's precisely the strangest part.

"How is Chi You doing on the Ming side?" Jia Xu suddenly looked up and asked.

"We have already defeated Chi You once. Crown Prince Zhu Biao, carrying the Xuanyuan Sword summoned from mythology, severely injured Chi You!" The technicians quickly reported the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

When Chi You charged into battle, he was severely wounded by Zhu Biao wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, and then led his army in retreat.

The fighting prowess displayed by Chi You on the Ming side perfectly matches the Xinghan side's understanding of Chi You.

In contrast, Chi You on the Mongol side was far too cunning.

"Chi You is probably about to make a big move!"

Jia Xu spoke slowly, as he suddenly thought of a rather terrifying fact.

Chi You... was he really killed by them?
Or to put it another way, is everything they are doing now unfolding in accordance with Chi You's plan?

It wasn't that they chose to cooperate with Chi You in attacking the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, but rather that Chi You chose them to join the Ming Dynasty in attacking the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

The reason why Chi You on the Mongol side was so strong was partly because he was protecting himself during the battles with them, since he did not want to accept a fate of being controlled by others.

On the other hand, it was because Chi You of the Ming Dynasty contributed all the power of their blood sacrifice to Chi You of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

That's why Chi You's performance repeatedly exceeded their expectations.

Upon hearing Jia Xu's conjecture, both Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang immediately fell into deep thought.

If Jia Xu's guess is true, then what is Chi You's purpose?

Could it be that they were resurrected from the corpses of the past?
Mu Yi inquired about the swarm's consciousness's thoughts, but the other party said he didn't know either; Chi You was a madman, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"His goal is probably still revenge!"

"However, from the very beginning, he thought of using the combined strength of Xinghan and Daming to take revenge on the Mongol Yuan."

"He used the flames of war to take revenge, igniting a war between the two sides. No matter who wins, the other side will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in the end, he will still be able to achieve his goal of revenge."

The speculations and guesses among the crowd shrouded Chi You's actions in a hazy mist, making it impossible for anyone to fathom his thoughts.

"If we have truly been outmaneuvered by the other side through a calculated scheme, should we continue to push forward with our plan?" Chen Gong raised a question.

"Of course we must push it forward, and we must push it forward with even greater force!" A glint of light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes.

"If our deduction is correct, then Chi You definitely has a backup plan. He will surely inflict heavy damage on his opponent to give us the opportunity to expand the gains of the war. Only in this way can we maximize our revenge!"

In Jia Xu's view, Chi You's current idea is simply to drag you into hell with my death.

Meanwhile, the Mongol Yuan forces reorganized their offensive, once again leveraging the influence of the capital city of Shuize.

A large number of ships continued along the previous path, but this time, the difference was that when the fleet rushed into a relatively open area, it directly used the stored cloud of gas to create a huge platform.

Chi You did not repeat his old tricks, but instead used entirely new tactics.

The Jiuli warriors were ordered to charge, but then turned and retreated during the engagement, completely disrupting the layout of the platform.

Then, the giant eagle riders, hidden in the dark clouds, carried a large number of incendiary oil canisters, lit them, and threw them at the warship.

At the same time, Chi You's army of water beasts formed a burning formation, directly igniting the cloud platform, and together with the flames of the giant eagles, creating a sea of ​​fire.

The Jiuli warriors, capable of walking on water, roamed outside the sea of ​​fire, constantly reaping the lives of Mongol soldiers.

"One step leads to another; this was a hunting plan that Chi You had conceived from the very beginning. His designs were always one step ahead of the Mongol Yuan forces, as if he could see the future..."

"Could he really see the future?" Han Xin frowned. Chi You's behavior was far too cunning.

Temur, a military genius, seemed to be completely led by the nose by Chi You.

From the moment the dikes were breached... no, from the moment the sun could no longer dispel the fog over Jingzhou, Temur had already been outmaneuvered by Chi You.

Because the situation was uncertain, Temur deliberately went easy on them and used his fleet, only to fall into Chi You's trap and be slaughtered by him.

However, Temur didn't seem to feel anything. He had already shifted his mindset to that of a challenger, so he wasn't worried at all about the heavy blow to his online army.

After all, the loss was the weakest navy in the entire Mongol Yuan system. Even if some land forces were sent in, it was still in a probing phase.

However, the test did not yield ideal results. It failed to elicit anything new from Chi You, and the items he used were all things they had seen in the small world before.

"Mobilize all the illusionary soldiers and force them in. At the same time, arrange for the archers to prepare to snipe the giant eagle."

Temur was genuinely curious about what Chi You had prepared in that little box in Jingzhou City.

These unknowns prevented Temur from launching a full-scale offensive.

So he changed his approach and decided to use the illusionary soldiers to probe for intelligence.

The half-human, half-eagle illusionary soldiers attracted giant eagles in the sky. The illusionary soldiers became the giant eagles' playthings, and many of them were killed by the giant eagles on the way.

However, Temur's main task was to hunt these giant eagles. He gathered the eagle archers early on, and the moment the giant eagles were lured out by the illusion soldiers, he ordered them to be shot.

Hundreds of arrows, imbued with the will of the Great God, pierced the bodies of the giant eagles, causing them to crash to the ground.

The Eagle Shooters were archers who had mastered the art of archery in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. Similar to the Shooting Sound Battalion, they placed more emphasis on willpower rather than the unity of spirit and energy.

Even after suffering a loss once, when the second wave of Phantom Soldiers arrived, the giant eagles were still willing to pay the price, taking to the skies to hinder the Phantom Soldiers' reconnaissance. (End of Chapter)
