Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Oh!"

Yu Jin grabbed his weapon and smashed the stone falling from the sky with a single blow.

Pebbles flew everywhere, and many hit Yu Jin directly in the face.

But Yu Jin didn't care at all.

His mind was completely occupied by the battlefield situation.

Yu Jin was quite happy when he first learned that reinforcements would be coming.

Being blocked at the door and beaten really annoyed him.

But before reinforcements arrived, enemy reinforcements came first.

Yu Jin immediately lost his joy.

Dozens of catapults bombarded the city. Even if they retaliated in kind, they could easily smash the catapults on the other side. However, the problem was that the other side was well-prepared. The smashed catapults could be pieced together and rebuilt into new ones.

Although the catapults inside the city could be assembled and used to demolish houses to fill gaps, there was still a difference between the two.

In less than two days, the city had basically lost its ability to fight back and could only be bombarded by catapults.

Left with no other choice, Yu Jin could only send all the experts to the city wall to intercept the catapults with the help of the clouds, but this was clearly not a long-term solution.

"Has the rebels in the city not been wiped out yet?" Yu Jin asked, barely suppressing his anger.

"Those rats hiding their heads and tails can't be completely killed!" Xu Huang was equally annoyed.

Every time they thought they had cleaned up, a group of Mongol soldiers would jump out, making them as easily startled as birds, and they would become nervous at the slightest disturbance.

"There are probably two underground tunnels within the city, and there might even be hidden underground teleportation portals!"

Only then did Yu Jin realize that this place was a cage, and the other side had forced them here with the intention of using this cage to trap them to death at the lowest possible cost.

The army has begun to show various negative emotions due to the harassment from the enemy, which is definitely not a good sign.

Even Yu Jin's headquarters and Xu Huang's headquarters were somewhat paranoid about this kind of work with groundhogs.

Yu Jin even suspected that if the army hadn't been mostly puppets, a mutiny might have already occurred.

The main problem is that Yu Jin can't catch these rats by the tail. Every time a rat shows its head, it is mercilessly killed, but the other side just keeps coming out one after another.

The Fifth Lark's light and shadow surveillance system was rendered useless by unknown technological interference, so Yu Jin could only have them hide in various places to act as human sentries.

That's why they were able to catch the rats that fled in all directions after the attack every time.

"Reporting, Marshal, General Zhao Yun requests an audience!"

Palmiro's projection appeared in front of Yu Jin, conveying the latest news to him through sign language.

"Zilong?" Yu Jin's spirits lifted; finally, some good news had arrived.

With Zhao Yun here, it means that Baima will be here soon, which is a great morale booster for the soldiers in the city.

"General Zhao, come here quickly!"

Zhao Yun was soon brought before Yu Jin.

"Marshal Yu, Marshal Jiang asked me to tell you..." Zhao Yun relayed Jiang Wei's plan, and Yu Jin nodded repeatedly upon hearing it.

Jiang Wei's plan was quite simple: a standard inside-outside attack.

Once Chi You's army and the Mongol army clashed, and after receiving Jiang Wei's signal, Yu Jin led his troops out of the city to participate in the melee.

Once the Mongol Yuan dynasty's organizational structure is broken up, the White Horse Army can enter the fray and begin reaping the rewards.

Moreover, they needed to be quick, as they didn't know when the Mongol reinforcements would arrive.

“I understand!” Yu Jin nodded.

At that moment, Zhao Yun's expression changed slightly.

"Bang!" With a series of soft sounds, several thick, long, black crossbow bolts shot towards Yu Jin and Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun instantly attacked, using his inner energy to send them all flying. He then drew his Qinggang Sword and sped off in the direction from which the crossbow bolts had come.

Yu Jin then realized what was happening.

"Zilong, be careful! These are all Mongol traitors; their arrows can pierce through internal energy!" Yu Jin shouted a warning to Zhao Yun.

Even Xu Huang suffered losses from these crossbow bolts.

Another volley of arrows rained down. Zhao Yun instinctively used his inner energy to deflect the arrows, but found that the arrows ignored his inner energy and continued to shoot towards him.

Zhao Yun's Qinggang sword burst forth with a sword flower, deflecting all the arrows, and then instantly unleashed more than a dozen sword lights.

The sword light instantly killed the Mongol soldiers who had launched a surprise attack.

In the blink of an eye, he had killed more than a dozen people. Zhao Yun picked up the arrows from the ground, frowned, and his expression became slightly solemn.

The arrowheads were coated with a black liquid, which appeared to be an extremely dangerous poison.

That's not surprising. Zhao Yun had seen many similar potent poisons in the laboratories of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

What's really strange is the material of the arrowhead; it's a material that can ignore internal energy.

Insufficiently concentrated internal energy cannot affect this material at all.

However, when Zhao Yun compressed his internal energy into a solid state, he could still easily pierce through the arrow material.

"This thing is very dangerous. Those below the Breaking Realm level might suffer greatly when facing it!"

Zhao Yun's expression was serious. If this were a battlefield with thick clouds, even breaking through the barrier would likely result in being ambushed.

If you were to be hit by this thing, it would be far more severe than a normal arrow wound.

"We've already reported this to Luoyang, and the technicians are currently testing it!"

Yu Jin followed and, seeing the arrow in Zhao Yun's hand, offered a brief explanation.

“I’ve kept them all alive! Can you get anything out of them?” Zhao Yun nodded, then looked at Yu Jin and asked.

"It's no use. We've tried everything, but we can't get any information out of them or find anything!"

Yu Jin looked at the unconscious Mongol assassins on the ground, thinking they were all dead.

Zhao Yun is indeed a monster, quite extraordinary; he managed to capture so many people alive in an instant.

But Yu Jin sighed; even if they were alive, it wouldn't make a difference.

They captured many assassins, but as soon as they were asked for specific information, these assassins would instantly suffer brain death, and they couldn't extract any useful information from them.

Upon hearing Yu Jin's report, Zhao Yun nodded, then grabbed a Mongol soldier to probe his memories, only to find that, just as Yu Jin had said, there was a restriction in his mind that would kill him instantly if touched.

Zhao Yun stroked his chin, then picked up another soldier and used a secret technique to extract the soldier's soul from his body.

Zhao Yun didn't use these secret techniques much, but just because he used them infrequently doesn't mean he didn't know how to use them.

On the contrary, Zhao Yun could use almost all the secret techniques, after all, he was the most suitable person to test them. With his enormous internal energy, he could use many secret techniques that required a large army to use on his own.

When not on the battlefield, Zhao Yun often went to the technical department to help out, and was frequently asked to test the effects of various secret techniques.

Therefore, Zhao Yun himself couldn't count all the secret techniques he knew.

After all, some secret techniques can be combined to create new ones, and Zhao Yun knows at least a hundred such combinable techniques.

But just as Zhao Yun extracted the soul and was about to search for it, even the soul was directly shattered.

"interesting……"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yun borrowed three thousand men from Yu Jin and set up an isolated military formation to completely sever all communication between the inside and outside.

Then they sealed all the power within the assassin's body and began searching his soul again, only to find that he still simply self-destructed.

This made Zhao Yun realize that the opponent must be using some kind of rule-like thing, locked deep in the soul, which would directly cause the soldiers to fall into a state of annihilation if triggered by external forces.

This fundamentally eliminated the possibility of them obtaining information from prisoners.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had also failed, Yu Jin sighed.

"These assassins are hiding underground, but we can't catch them no matter what we do, which is causing panic and making us feel really helpless."

"Perhaps I have a way!" Zhao Yun thought of a secret technique.

Yu Jin didn't have much hope, but he had no other choice but to rely on Zhao Yun.

These Mongol assassins are really annoying. They carry out several assassination attempts in the city every day. Even if we skin and dismember the assassins afterward, it's all in vain.

Yu Jin simply handed the matter over to Zhao Yun, assigning Palmiro to Zhao Yun's command, while he himself went to prepare for the counterattack.

Palmiro led Zhao Yun to a tunnel they had found. After entering the tunnel, Zhao Yun directly dispersed his internal energy, and then, standing in place, filled the entire tunnel with his internal energy as if pouring water.

Wherever there was a gap, the internal energy seeped in completely, and the sheer volume of internal energy made Palmiro's eyes widen in astonishment.

The way he looked at Zhao Yun changed. He wasn't unfamiliar with Qi Pojie, but he had never seen anyone as outrageous as Zhao Yun before.

Even though Palmiro had heard of Zhao Yun's name and deeds before, this was truly the first time he had ever experienced Zhao Yun's vast and boundless inner energy so closely.

However, Palmiro's shock was yet to come.

Once Zhao Yun felt he had reached his limit, he unleashed his inner energy, triggering a massive sonic probe.

This secret technique, which almost encompasses the entire underground, quickly led Zhao Yun to several strange locations.

"Find someone to mobilize troops!" Zhao Yun directly used light and shadow to show Palmiro the problematic areas he had discovered.

Palmiro's expression immediately turned serious as he looked at the location marked by Zhao Yun.

Without questioning or inquiry, Palmiro left to inform Yu Jin, who then immediately dispatched a large army to the location marked by Zhao Yun.

"boom!"

Knowing the exact location, the army's violent iron fist had a place to vent its anger, and the distance from the ground to the underground was directly opened up.

Xu Huang led his men into the building and found an area resembling an underground hall, with a portal in the very center.

"We've caught you damned rats!"

Xu Huang revealed a ferocious smile; he had finally caught these people.

The Mongol soldiers were completely unprepared for Xu Huang's visit, but they reacted quickly and picked up their weapons to fight back.

However, the underground hall was not very large and could only accommodate a very limited number of people; there were only about a hundred Mongol soldiers inside.

These people were practically handed over to a monster like Xu Huang. Xu Huang swung his axe and violently chopped all the Mongol soldiers to pieces.

"Send a team to go in and see what's going on!" Xu Huang gripped his axe and ordered someone to investigate the other side of the teleportation portal.

"Report, General, there's a military camp in the heart of the mountains behind the gate!"

"Very well, gather your troops and follow me to battle!"

Xu Huang grinned maliciously, knowing where the previously vanished city defense army had gone. He immediately ordered his soldiers and puppets to pass through the spatial gate and prepare to attack the military camp.

On the other side, Yu Jin and Zhao Yun also found another underground hall. The enemy was cunning and had set up entrances and exits from three directions.

The outer layer of the entire hall was constructed using a material that could ignore internal energy, which is why Yu Jin and his men had not been able to discover the hiding place of these assassins.

Tarim, who had previously made a strategic relocation from the city to the mountains, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Something's wrong!" Trusting his intuition, Tarimur immediately ordered his men to muster their troops.

The only thing that could happen to them in this place is that they would be discovered.

Even though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was a step too late. The troops had just begun to assemble when a large army had already arrived outside the camp.

"You will all die today!" Xu Huang's roar echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

Tarimur's heart sank; he knew he would be no match for them in a direct confrontation.

He had received a message instructing them to prepare for a coordinated attack on the city, aiming to capture Yu Jin and his men from both inside and outside.

The plan was stillborn before it even began.

Left with no other option, Tarim had to send a message to the area outside the city, prompting the army outside to begin their attack, thus forcing a coordinated attack from within and without.

Yu Jin was prepared. Upon receiving the news, he left some people to guard the spatial gate while he led his main force to the city wall to begin defending the city.

Both sides' original plans were interrupted by the unexpected event, but both sides made the same judgment: to take action directly and bring the plan forward.

Fully armed, Tarimur led his personal guards and charged toward the Xinghan troops outside the camp.

He knew how powerful Xu Huang was, and he also knew that he couldn't defeat Xu Huang, so he directly chose Zhao Yun's side.

"Han general, come and fight!"

Tarim roared and charged toward Zhao Yun, only to find a flash of silver light before his eyes. His hair stood on end, and he instinctively dodged without hesitation.

Zhao Yun looked at Tarimur, who rolled away from him in surprise. The other party actually reacted. He had some skill.

Tarim was covered in cold sweat; he knew very well that he had just narrowly escaped death.

He thought it would be an easy target, but it turned out to be a super invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex. If he hadn't instinctively dodged, he would probably be dead by now.

Seeing Zhao Yun charging towards him, Tarim roared and unleashed all his inner energy to meet Zhao Yun head-on.

He had no way out but to fight to the death.

However, once they started fighting, he discovered that Zhao Yun was not as strong as he had imagined. Although his spear speed was fast, its power was not great at all.

Zhao Yun felt a little frustrated. He had used too much internal energy just now, and the cloud energy had suppressed it, making it difficult for him to catch his breath for a while.

Zhao Yun was a little annoyed that an opponent he didn't consider particularly strong had managed to fight him to a standstill.

He could exchange blows with Chi You, yet he managed a draw against this guy in front of him… (End of Chapter)
