Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chi You was preventing the Mongol Yuan dynasty from ascertaining the true strength of Jingzhou City.

Everyone understood this.

However, they were unsure whether Chi You was using a smokescreen to mislead the crowd or if he was actually preparing something that required delay.

Rash advances will lead to ambushes, as Chi You has already demonstrated once.

But Chi You's unusual behavior makes one wonder whether he was trying to cover something up or if there was some unspeakable secret at play.

Temur was caught in a dilemma.

If it were from the beginning, he would have disregarded everything and torn through the fog to see what tricks Chi You was up to.

But now that he had been dealt a blow by Chi You, he was a little hesitant to be so reckless.

"Lord of Huaiyin, what do you think Chi You's intentions are?" Sun Wu asked quietly.

"It's just a deliberate deception!" Han Xin said calmly.

"No matter how extraordinary Chi You's methods may be, they all come down to one thing: the issue of resources."

"He is just a rootless duckweed. No matter how much he struggles, the human resources he has as a vessel are not enough. The mist soldiers are useless under the sun's secret art!"

"So he was willing to sacrifice an air legion to create the impression that he had a big secret underway, in order to lure the Mongol military genius into a trap!"

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Han Xin succinctly pointed out Chi You's biggest weakness: a lack of manpower.

Therefore, he must constantly create small-scale victories and use blood sacrifices to enhance his strength.

Since the quantity can no longer be increased, he must improve the quality.

Whether it's the struggles on the Ming side or the current small-scale sniping, the goal is to create a series of victories.

Strictly speaking, Chi You couldn't afford to lose; if he lost even once, he would basically lose everything.

"Should we help Chi You?" Chen Gong asked hesitantly, looking at the location of Jiang Wei and the others on the map.

"Even if we wanted to help, it would be useless now. With the muddy terrain of Jingzhou, cavalry would have no chance of making any use... This seems to be part of Chi You's plan."

Zhang Liang pointed his finger at the location where Jiang Wei and the others were.

"The best option now is to have Jiang Wei and the others retreat to help Yu Jin and the others get out of the predicament."

"Going around in circles like this is too much of a hassle for Jiang Wei and his men. Let them continue their harassment in the north!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and pointed to the terrain north of Jingzhou. This area had not been flooded and was relatively flat, making it suitable for cavalry operations.

"The enemy has multiple white horses, so cavalry harassment is probably not very effective, is it?"

Chen Gong was somewhat helpless. The Mongol Yuan's imitation army was indeed formidable. They used the speed of the White Horse to force the White Horse into a state of restraint, making it impossible for it to exert its full strength.

After all, these bastards were genuinely there to make a deal, and Zhao Yun was unwilling to let the white horse be exchanged with them.

Unfortunately, they couldn't withstand the bastards on the other side who charged in at lightning speed. Apart from suffering a slight loss against Ma Chao, they were a huge problem for everyone else.

After all, if a small squad of fake white horses suddenly charged at you at lightning speed, apart from the white horses and Ma Chao's main force, the other cavalry would be killed on the spot.

The White Horse Charge at super speed is a true killing move; anyone hit by it will be instantly turned into a bloody mess.

"There's no such thing as a single trick that works forever. It was expected that the White Horse would be countered, but I didn't expect it to be in this way!" Zhuge Liang sighed.

He had also considered how to restrain the White Horse Cavalry, but basically, apart from the first to scale the walls and the sound of arrows, there were no good ways to restrain them.

The Mongol Yuan dynasty offered a novel solution using a peculiar approach.

Strictly speaking, this is not a good approach; it's a losing proposition.

However, the Mongol Yuan dynasty was able to use its vast resources to achieve this solution, forcing the White Horse Army to join forces with other legions.

"Plans can't keep up with changes, but we're lucky; we're not the ones with the biggest headaches." Chen Gong chuckled wickedly.

When you're the only one experiencing bad luck, you feel really unlucky. But if there's someone even more unlucky around you, you'll feel like you're not so unlucky after all.

The current Mongol Yuan dynasty serves as a reference point, making the Milky Way seem less unfortunate in comparison.

"Should we send Xian Deng off and let Xu Shu take charge of eliminating these fake white horses?"

"The Mongol Yuan dynasty definitely has more than just this one legion. If they use the vanguard to wipe out the fake White Horse Army, then our White Horse Army will be doomed too!"

This is the most helpless situation right now; at least both the real and fake White Horses are still alive.

If we put the vanguard in, maybe those two fake white horses will die, but it won't be long before the real white horse will be completely overwhelmed by the number of fake vanguards.

The True White Horse is not afraid of the vanguard, but that only applies to a single legion. If several vanguards attack together, the True White Horse is definitely doomed.

Unless they never use white horses again, it's no different from being dead on the front lines.

White Horse is, after all, a military legion with a strong military spirit; it cannot afford to fall into the tragic situation of being reduced to nothing but a seed again.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Jiang Wei's legion talent can stabilize the situation, so let's not add any more variables."

The war continues.

Temur was caught in a dilemma, but the Mongol Yuan's staff was not to be underestimated; they reached the same conclusion as Zhang Liang and his group.

No matter what tricks Chi You plays, they will just proceed steadily and surely.

Even if Chi You really has some secret, it doesn't matter. The empire only needs to exert its normal strength, and it will definitely be able to kill Chi You.

On the contrary, if they pull some crazy moves, it might cause the situation to explode.

Temur used the combination of Illusion Warriors and Eagle Archers to continuously kill the giant eagles. After a long day of fighting, the Illusion Warriors finally broke through the giant eagles' defenses and landed near Jingzhou City, where they saw the city hidden in the mist.

"Is that a device made of mist?"

Following the clues revealed by the illusionary warriors, Temur finally understood what Chi You was up to.

Chi You transformed the entire city of Jingzhou into a fortress, piling up various defensive weapons, making it appear impregnable.

Temur didn't care about these machines; he never intended to attack the city from the beginning.

They also prepared a powerful move specifically for dealing with groups of opponents.

The Jiuli tribe, living in cramped quarters within Jingzhou City, were the perfect target.

"It's time to let you experience the wrath of the Eternal Heaven!" After confirming the large number of Jiuli warriors in the city through a continuous stream of illusionary soldiers, Temur immediately notified the rear to launch a planar attack.

The wrath of the Eternal Heaven is not an adjective, but a real and existing secret technique.

It was also a secret technique for destroying cities developed by the Mongol Empire during its conquest of the world.

The enormous dragon-wolf poked its head out from the void, and with a tear of its claws, a large section of the seemingly indestructible city wall of Jingzhou collapsed instantly.

From the ruins of the city wall, one can still vaguely see the scratches of huge claws.

"An attack guided by the will of the empire to unleash such power?" Xinghan was very interested in this secret technique, as city walls are often the most troublesome thing in war.

However, since the Mongol Yuan dynasty was using such advanced secret techniques, Xinghan immediately had the necessary personnel to begin deciphering them.

Chi You was clearly stunned by this sudden claw attack.

He had clearly raised a cloud barrier, but Meng Yuan still managed to destroy a section of the city wall using this secret technique.

"Hmph, I didn't expect there to be such a thing!"

Chi You picked up his Tiger Soul Blade. The Mongol Yuan's response exceeded much of the information he had previously gathered, and he had to change his approach.

Now that the enemy has destroyed the city walls, there is little point in defending them to the death, and a head-on battle with the enemy has become a better option.

Before he could crack the enemy's siege techniques, the city walls had completely lost their protective function.

The Mongol Yuan dynasty evaporated the moisture from the land above Jingzhou in an unimaginable way.

What was once a muddy wasteland due to flooding has now become a dry layer of soil.

Moreover, the scope of the repairs was limited to Jingzhou and did not significantly affect other areas.

This ability to arbitrarily modify the environment puzzled Xinghan, since climate is something that always has far-reaching consequences.

The fact that the Mongol Yuan Dynasty could make modifications within a limited area is a fact that defies the laws of reality, and this is what Xinghan needs to pay the most attention to.

"According to our current intelligence, the opponent's ability to almost modify reality is basically derived from the use of the rules. We just don't know if it is Meng Yuan's own ability or the development of certain fragments of the sacred song."

Upon seeing this situation, Zhuge Liang immediately distributed the intelligence to everyone, as they had already made some progress in understanding this ability.

However, it is still some distance from practical application. This demonstration by the Mongol Yuan dynasty has given the technical staff more conjectures and assumptions.

Working backward from the result, there are ultimately clues to be found.

After securing the terrain, the Mongol Yuan dynasty began its massive advance.

Compared to Chiyou's side, the biggest advantage of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was its military strength, although it lost some troops after several small-scale battles.

However, the Mongol Yuan still mobilized more than three million troops to form the first wave of attack.

This size is one that Temur could not possibly command.

At the same time, this number is one that cannot be shown on the battlefield.

Therefore, Temur chose to advance in large formations in batches, which, although somewhat rigid in form, was ultimately a solution.

The so-called large-scale attack is actually an attack from all directions by a formation of tens of thousands of people.

The mighty Mongol army slowly advanced towards Jingzhou City, their well-formed military formations creating a complete encirclement.

Having abandoned those complicated procedures, the Mongol Yuan army advanced in phalanx formations, fully demonstrating its numerical superiority.

A battle of command?
Even a dog wouldn't fight!

After witnessing the battle of command between Chi You and Han Xin, Temur abandoned the idea of ​​competing in command from the very beginning.

It's not that we can't win, it's that there's no need to.

Temur believed that his command skills were on par with Chi You's, and that he might even be slightly better than Chi You.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to compete with Chi You in terms of command.

Temur sneered and ordered the phalanx to advance.

His command limit is 400,000 people.

Therefore, he directly divided the large formation into batches of 400,000 people.

Of course, the most important thing is the cloud formations connecting the large armies.

The thick, pervasive clouds, supported by millions of troops, almost took on a substantial shape.

Under this cloud formation, the Mongol soldiers were imbued with a terrifying power.

By imbuing the frontline soldiers with the aura of the entire army, they were easily elevated to the same height as the sky.

With an absolute advantage in cloud formations, the strength of Chi You's Jiuli warriors was suppressed to a miserable state.

To some extent, this leveled the playing field, eliminating the average strength gap between the two sides' troops, coupled with their numerical advantage.

Temur naturally assumed that the advantage was in his hands!

This also reflects the situation after the war began.

The performance of the large square formations on the battlefield was almost exactly as Temur had predicted. The large-scale square formations advanced, abandoning fancy command, and relied on their numerical superiority to engage in head-on confrontations, quickly gaining the upper hand on all fronts.

Chi You contracted his battle lines, using the outermost cannon fodder to form dense military formations, creating layers of anti-impact battle lines.

After all, Temur's first advance only involved 400,000 men, a force well within Chi You's control.

When the Mongol Yuan forces gained an advantage on the front lines and planned to expand their lead and continue their advance, they encountered a major problem.

Most of the soldiers created by Chi You using the sacrificial offering of corpses possess special abilities, while only a small number have no special powers.

These defective soldiers were left on the outskirts by Chi You to serve as cannon fodder.

The Mongol Yuan's regular army naturally had a significant advantage in dealing with cannon fodder, thus achieving a frontal advantage across the entire front.

When they tore through the outermost defensive line and began to make contact with the special divine and demonic soldiers on the inner side, they were caught off guard.

“The heavens and earth spontaneously respond to the movements of these divine and demonic soldiers; in a sense, they are fragments of sacred hymns!”

Sun Tzu sighed. As the military genius who knew the most about the sacrificial ceremony, he was now fully aware of its true nature.

It is not created out of thin air, but rather carries fragments of past hymns.

Strictly speaking, these divine soldiers and Chi You are essentially the same, except that Chi You is a much larger fragment.

These divine and demonic soldiers are merely fragments within fragments, with the ratio between the two possibly reaching one in a million or even one in ten million.

When these soldiers unite, the power they can unleash is immense.

The Mongol soldiers suffered greatly as a result.

Even though the enemy in front of him was weaker than himself, crackling purple-blue lightning flashed from several of their bodies, converging and piercing through their armor to their internal organs.

The Mongol soldiers were still human; they were struck by lightning, which pierced through their internal organs, and they collapsed instantly.

Even some veteran soldiers with superhuman abilities cannot withstand the damage caused by electric shock to their internal organs.

The once unstoppable Mongol formation was instantly broken.

Chi You's divine and demonic soldiers used the power of various rules to forcefully crush the advance of the Mongol Yuan phalanx. (End of Chapter)
