Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1029 The Fate of the Ming Dynasty
"Charge!" Lin shouted, raising his battle axe, as golden light shone and enveloped all the Jiuli warriors.
With an extra life, the Jiuli torrent almost instantly crushed the Mongol soldiers who were trying to ambush them head-on.
The Jiuli warriors, who were not afraid of death, could almost always take down a Mongol soldier by taking advantage of their resurrection ability.
The near-instantaneous explosion caused casualties that threatened to destroy the Mongol Yuan's defenses.
"Hold on!" roared the Mongol commander.
He knew that once the battle line collapsed, it would be like a hole in a dam, and it would be extremely difficult to plug it.
However, the Jiuli's offensive was simply too fierce. How could the defenses, which had already undergone a round of turmoil, withstand such a clash?
The commander roared in anger, but unfortunately, the course of the battlefield would not change according to his will.
The battle was decided almost instantly. The Jiuli warriors, advancing wave after wave, swept over their opponents like a torrent.
Such ferocity was as difficult for the Mongol Yuan defenses as a small boat facing a giant wave.
Before the reinforcements mobilized by the commander could even demonstrate their combat effectiveness, they were shattered into pieces by Lin and the Jiuli warriors, who swept them away like autumn leaves in the wind.
With a rising momentum, Lin charged towards the second line of defense with overwhelming force, shattering it into pieces.
"The ability to die and be resurrected is always awe-inspiring!"
Xu Shu glanced at Jiang Wei beside him. To be honest, he still didn't understand what Jiang Wei's "legion talent" was.
How can someone plagiarize another person's talent and then make their own stylistic improvements?
In the end, they managed to create a system where soldiers could revive on the spot. Although they could only revive once, it directly relieved the army of casualties and the pressure of public opinion about the war, and also alleviated the psychological pressure on some soldiers going to the battlefield.
This is also the biggest reason why Jiang Wei is now vaguely becoming the leader of the third generation.
If you were given the choice, who would you choose to be with?
I'd definitely pick Jiang Wei without hesitation; the advantage of having an extra life is just too great.
Moreover, apart from Zhuge Liang, no other general or officer has been able to replicate this ability.
Even Han Xin and Bai Qi couldn't replicate this.
They did try, but at most they could replicate Gao Lan's super-heavy infantry, limited to a single legion, and couldn't achieve the same direct spread to the entire army as Jiang Wei did.
The Jiuli warriors, possessing resurrection abilities, crushed the Mongol Yuan defenses with an almost impossible ferocity.
This forced the Mongol Yuan dynasty to reveal its hand prematurely.
"coming!"
Xu Shu was the first to notice the spatial fluctuations; their predictions were correct, the Mongol Yuan dynasty did indeed have a trump card up its sleeve.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, ten thousand Mongol cavalrymen appeared, accompanied by thirty thousand Mongol riders.
13,000 talents plus 30,000 dual-talent cavalry.
Even though Xu Shu had anticipated this, he was still taken aback. Although the power was not enough to kill them outright, it was undoubtedly a troublesome problem.
The Mongol cavalry, upon landing, showed no hesitation. They immediately split into two groups, each consisting of three three-talent legions and three two-talent legions, and launched a simultaneous attack on the Jiuli army and the Xinghan cavalry.
The fake white horse then appeared, completely ignoring the real white horse, and launched a desperate charge against the Jiuli army.
Xu Shu was terrified. The charge of the fake white horse was a truly deadly charge; even the Miracle Legion had a chance of trading one for one.
Fortunately, the fake white horse was targeting the Jiuli army; otherwise, they would have suffered a great loss.
The Mongol Yuan dynasty had a very powerful trump card; almost the instant it was revealed, they were already calling for Lin's execution.
The fake white horses have a problem controlling their speed, allowing them to charge without slowing down at all; they can even run faster than the real white horses.
The defenses that the Jiuli army had placed in the rear were like a sheet of paper in the face of this offensive, posing absolutely no resistance to the Mongol cavalry.
At this moment, Jiang Wei's face revealed a ferocious expression; the Mongol cavalry's charge was indeed unexpected.
Unfortunately, the resurrection ability is sufficient to handle any situation.
However, the Mongol Yuan dynasty clearly took resurrection into account, which is why they chose to sacrifice the fake White Horse Army directly.
When a group of Jiuli warriors rose from the bloody battlefield ravaged by the fake white horse, the Mongol cavalry, along with a torrent of auxiliary troops, finally swept away everything.
The Jiuli warriors, whose formation was incomplete, were unable to mount any effective resistance and were directly crushed by the cavalry torrent, turning into mincemeat once again in the trampling.
The cavalry charge, unstoppable and unstoppable, pierced through the rear guard and, as Lin tore apart the last obstacle in front of him, kicked the lower back of Lin's main force.
It was only then that Lin realized that his rear guard had been completely breached, and the morale of the Mongol army, which had been declining, was rising steadily.
A truly powerful legion is not only strong in itself, but also able to lead all its comrades to strength; the aesthetics of violence are displayed to the fullest extent at this moment.
The saying goes that a general is the courage of his soldiers, and soldiers are the might of their generals. The Mongol cavalry is so fierce and powerful that it inspires the entire army. Their momentum is like a dragon. As long as the legion commander is not a useless person, they are a real dragon with bared teeth and claws on the battlefield.
Against a typical opponent, the Mongol cavalry's charge would have immediately dismantled the enemy's organizational structure, allowing them to overwhelm the opponent with a relentless and powerful assault.
After all, if you rush in and knock out the opponent's brain, and then go on a rampage against a brainless vegetable, there's no reason you should lose.
The Mongol commander thought so too. The Mongol cavalry had left a group of soldiers who hadn't yet unleashed their power. With them, they could cooperate to kick Lin to death, and then they would have time to do whatever they wanted.
But just when the Mongol commander thought victory was assured, a sudden change occurred. Ma Chao, like a bolt of lightning, broke through the cavalry from the flank and rear, then delivered a powerful kick to the lower back of the Mongol cavalry.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Since Xu Shu and his men had anticipated this, how could they not have taken precautions in advance?
The Mongol Yuan dynasty's idea was good, but there was only one problem: the Jiuli and Xinghan would merge.
The command wasn't with Lin at all, but with Jiang Wei.
The vegetative patient, who should have been left to be beaten, jumped out of bed and started fighting with them.
Jiang Wei and his men had decided on their positions early on and set up a tight trap, just waiting for the Mongol cavalry to slip inside.
Although the scale was somewhat beyond their expectations, the strength was not beyond their ability to cope with.
Pang De and Jiang Wei's main force directly held off the Mongol cavalry, while Bai Ma harassed and provided support from behind, and Ma Chao stepped aside to support Lin.
Lin, who was originally besieged by two three-talent legions, was instantly freed by the help of his ally and began to fight and retreat.
"Left flank, all archers, launch a barrage attack!"
When the situation was in complete chaos, Xu Shu acted decisively, issuing the order for a swift and decisive victory in a loud voice.
"Central Guard, Central Protectorate, spearmen in front, swordsmen and shieldmen in chaotic combat, archers in suppression!" Xu Shu's voice, filled with killing intent, methodically gave orders between the lines.
The Jiuli army quickly transformed, turning their spears to annihilate the cavalry legion. At this moment, the cavalry, who had penetrated deep into the enemy's territory in order to break through quickly, became the ones attacked from both sides.
Enemies surrounded them from all sides. The Mongol cavalry, with their dual talents, were no match for this frenzied attack, and the Jiuli warriors who risked their lives to get close were immediately knocked off their horses. Relying on their resurrection abilities, the Jiuli warriors were fearless and would rather die than let the Mongol soldiers fall to the ground.
"Extend to the right front flank, outflank the enemy from behind, move the rear guard forward after forming ranks, and move the javelin throwers forward!"
Following Xu Shu's series of orders, the javelin throwers and crossbowmen launched a devastating attack on the cavalry. With nowhere to hide, the cavalry became sitting ducks, riddled with arrows.
"In the name of the Lord of Jiuli, may the fallen heroes protect the warriors of Jiuli!"
As the situation reversed, the phantom of Chi You appeared behind Lin.
As Lin raised his weapon and slammed it into the ground, the golden aura emanating from Lin spread outwards in all directions, and the dark golden patterns spread like ripples across the entire Jiuli army.
A flash of dark golden light appeared, and a trace of blood light appeared on the bodies of all the fallen Jiuli soldiers, flying into Chi You's hands behind Lin.
Immediately afterwards, Chi You transformed into countless rays of light that scattered into the bodies of the Jiuli warriors, causing the aura of all the living Jiuli warriors to surge dramatically.
This method of sacrificing friendly forces to one's own people is not unusual, but because of the shared origins of the Jiuli warriors, the sacrifice results in very low losses, directly strengthening a large number of Jiuli warriors significantly.
Everyone had their trump cards. Noticing that the situation was beginning to turn around, they didn't hesitate to increase their bets, causing the balance of victory to tip in favor of the allied forces.
The Jiuli warriors' combat power surged, and the Mongol Yuan forces collapsed even faster, forcing them to halt their siege and retreat, turning their attention to the enemy forces in the rear.
Yu Jin, not one to tolerate the Mongol Yuan forces, led his army directly out of the city with Xu Huang.
Caught between two forces, the Mongol army became lambs to the slaughter in an encirclement.
The onlookers gave up watching; there was nothing more to see at this point.
The rest of the time is just wasted time.
Any officer knows how to win a battle when things are going well.
Even if the Mongol Yuan dynasty were to airdrop tens of thousands of more troops at this point, it would still be a piecemeal tactic.
The Mongol army, which had been surrounded and trapped, had suffered a major defeat. Even if it had the strength to resist, the collapse of the clouds was irreversible.
When there is cloud cover, it's basically a crushing defeat against a cloudless environment.
More importantly, they have already seen that the white horse has begun to enter the market.
For the sake of their lunch, it would be best if they didn't continue watching.
After all, the killings on the white horse were just too bloody; it was common to not be able to eat meat for days after watching them.
"When the battle situation is unclear, cavalrymen will immediately become lambs to the slaughter once they get into a fierce battle!"
Han Xin sighed. The Mongol Yuan's decision could not be said to be entirely wrong; it was merely conventional.
However, Jiang Wei performed better.
The war has deteriorated to such a wretched state that there's no point in watching anymore; the Mongol Yuan dynasty suffered a crushing defeat, while the allied forces achieved a Pyrrhic victory.
Jiang Wei and his men were indeed going to win, but they also suffered considerable losses. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Wei's army was exceptionally talented, they might not have even won.
This situation of weaklings fighting each other is a complete waste of the elite.
But Han Xin also knew that the God of War couldn't intervene at this time; everyone just wanted to fight a war of appropriate intensity and didn't want to start a decisive battle directly.
While a large-scale melee like Jiang Wei's wasn't the best option, it was certainly the most suitable one.
Jiang Wei and his men might seem a bit naive from the perspective of military geniuses, but they were quite good in the context of commanding a large army.
Han Xin may have looked down on him, but in reality, he had to put in a little effort to deal with him.
A large army commander who has undergone extensive training is someone even a military genius cannot easily crush in a head-on confrontation.
For all the parties involved, starting a decisive battle right now would be the worst option.
War is never the goal; the planning behind war is.
The Jiuli's goal was simple: to fight against the Mongol Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, plunging them into war so that they could achieve their revenge.
Therefore, Jiuli is now the undisputed protagonist on this stage called war.
It can be said that when the various forces make their move depends on when the next protagonist – the Ming Dynasty – will make its move.
The Ming Dynasty was annihilating the remnants of the original version of Chi You's forces.
Even the original version of Chi You evolved at a speed of light during the war with the Ming Dynasty, causing the Ming Dynasty considerable trouble.
"How are our envoys to the Ming Dynasty doing?"
"The Ming Dynasty is still considering it, and many civil officials are also opposed to it, not wanting to be dragged into the quagmire of the war with the Mongols!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.
The Ming Dynasty used Chi You as an excuse, and everyone knew that Chi You on the Ming side could no longer cause any trouble; his annihilation was only a matter of time.
In fact, if the Ming Dynasty hadn't wanted to control Chi You, it wouldn't have taken much time at all.
The Ming Dynasty still wanted to watch from the sidelines.
However, they were also well aware that the chances of having two allies, Chi You and Xing Han, were slim, and the probability of peaceful development between them and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was extremely low.
The debate in the Ming Dynasty's court had been going on for three days and three nights, but no result had been reached.
However, according to Jia Xu's intelligence, the Hongwu Emperor was already planning to take action, and the mobilization of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was more frequent than ever before.
Clearly, this emperor of the Ming Dynasty is about to take action.
Before a major battle, it is essential to reach a consensus.
But both the pro-war and pro-peace factions are acting in their own self-interest, and at this point, neither can stop.
They could only continue heading towards the abyss. As for the civil and military officials arguing back and forth, they were just scapegoats released by the two factions.
Winning brings joy to everyone, while losing means sacrificing a pawn to save the king—a principle both sides understand.
Xinghan didn't wait long, or rather, the Hongwu Emperor didn't have much patience.
The butcher's knife was raised high, and then hundreds of heads fell to the ground overnight.
In the entire Ming Dynasty court, only one voice remained: War.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we should wage a full-scale war against the Mongol Yuan dynasty and strive to crush it in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is just a slogan; everyone knows that this will be an exceptionally protracted war.
But the war machine had already roared to life, and no one had a way out. (End of Chapter)
