Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1033 Fierce Attack
The hail of bullets cut off the golden giant's pursuit.

Xu Huang led his troops back into the main formation, and immediately hundreds of them collapsed to the ground.

The Tiger Warriors nearby immediately carried the unconscious soldier away for treatment.

This kind of explosive burst of power is extremely damaging to the body. Even if the secret medicine was taken in advance, it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be a matter of lying in bed for more than a few days.

Yu Jin adjusted the battle lines, no longer focusing on offense, but shifting to a strategy of containment and defense.

This was one of the scenarios they had anticipated from the beginning, which is why their plan involved alternating between main attacks and feints.

On the other side, Jiang Wei also made a similar command, shrinking the original attack formation and starting to focus on suppression.

After the Mongol Yuan used teleportation technology to airdrop two legions to tie down Jiang Wei's main force, Jiang Wei also gave up continuing the attack.

After finally breaking through the defenses, the Mongol Yuan army sent reinforcements directly, making it impossible to fight back.

If Jiang Wei hadn't been quick enough in commanding and coordinating, they might have been cut in half and severely damaged by the Mongol cavalry.

Jiang Wei and Yu Jin always kept in mind that they were there to provide support, not to fight the Mongol Yuan dynasty to the death.

All they need to do is hold back enough Mongol troops to create an opportunity for Chi You to break out.

If they could break through the defenses and inflict heavy damage on the Mongol Yuan, that would be ideal. If they couldn't, it would still be considered that they had done their best.

The original trident, except for Lin Yi's unit which was desperately attacking and fighting to the death when intercepted, had been completely shut down by Jiang Wei and Yu Jin.

The task of leading the attack suddenly shifted from Jiang Wei and Yu Jin to Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao.

"This burden on my shoulders is truly heavy!"

Zhang Fei stretched his limbs. Having received news from Yu Jin, he did not immediately choose to charge, but instead chose to wait.

"General Zhang, aren't we going to make a move yet?" Cao Ang looked at Zhang Fei with some confusion.

He had already received the message from Yu Jin. Logically speaking, they should be launching a full-scale attack on the Mongol Yuan's defenses now, but Zhang Fei chose to remain still.

“My legion talent needs a warm-up period to cover the entire army, so it’s good to wait for Zhang Wenyuan to make the first move!” Zhang Fei explained casually.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu's adaptability was quite good, which could greatly improve the soldiers' ability to adapt to his talents, and the overall strength of the army could be greatly enhanced.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun both had solemn expressions; they knew this would be a difficult battle.

The military strength of the Mongol Yuan dynasty was simply too exaggerated.

Even though Zhang Fei had many elite troops under his command, they were still wary, since the most capable were still Cao Ang's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and their own main force.

Although Zhang Fei was formidable, the Imperial Guards he led were not his own direct subordinates, making it difficult for them to achieve the same results as Zhang Fei's own troops.

Therefore, the pressure remains on Cao Wei. They have painstakingly accumulated so many elite troops, and if they are not careful, this battle could wipe them all out.

Under such pressure, even though both are seasoned veterans, they couldn't help but feel the immense pressure.

Zhang Fei closed his eyes, silently sensing the extent to which his legion's talent was being unleashed, waiting for the limit to be reached.

A sharp blade that is not drawn from its sheath is the most intimidating.

On the other side, Zhang Liao gave a wry smile upon receiving the message.

"This Zhang Yide is really not polite!"

After Zhang Fei conveyed the message that he was holding back his troops, he understood Zhang Fei's meaning and then discarded the intelligence.

Let's not move. From a strategic point of view, Zhang Fei's choice is not a bad one.

While simultaneous attacks may cause the opponent to be overwhelmed, attacks from the front and rear are more likely to catch the opponent off guard.

"Thirteenth Eagle Flag, heed my command! Advance at all costs!"

"The 11th and 12th Legions will advance in a triangular formation. The Changshui Battalion will abandon its suppression and focus its attacks on the enemy's archers."

"The Patuo Armored Regiment advances to the left flank to suppress the enemy. The Imperial Guard archers provide cover with a rain of arrows, while the spearmen and shieldmen advance forward on the right flank of the defensive line, awaiting the order to charge!"

Zhang Liao's orders were issued in an orderly manner.

But the content of the order was baffling.

The reason why the central army under Zhang Liao's command and the left and right wings were so far apart was that the three of them formed a trident-like offensive, but there was no connection between them at all.

But those familiar with Zhang Liao know very well that Zhang Liao's command had only one purpose: to create opportunities for the Imperial Guards Wolf Riders to attack.

All the legions were bait thrown out by Zhang Liao; only the Imperial Guards and Wolf Cavalry, which remained stationary at Zhang Liao's headquarters, were his true killing move.

This is also Zhang Liao's strength. He is a commander of a large army, but he is more inclined to military tactics. Therefore, he needs to first confuse the battle lines in order to create the ability for the Imperial Guards Wolf Cavalry to break through the lines in one fell swoop.

Not everyone possesses Han Xin's ability to be unafraid of military situations.

Almost every military genius was invincible in their time, and the life-and-death situations that Han Xin and Xiang Yu faced on multiple occasions are virtually impossible to replicate.

Upon receiving the order, the Pato Armored Regiment, led by Legion Commander Nilanjan, charged directly toward the front line.

As one of the Kushan's top infantry legions, after a comprehensive equipment upgrade, they possessed defensive capabilities almost equivalent to those of the Thirteen Roses and the Former Emperor's Guard.

The Pato Armored Regiment is closer to heavy infantry, with a relatively slow speed, but its attack power is surpassed by Niranjan's mental will.

"Rapid firing of armor-piercing arrows!"

The Kushan Royal Guard archer legion commander, Baras, roared and gave the order, unleashing his full power from the start, completely disregarding the consumption of arrows.

This is also the fatal weakness of all top-tier rapid-fire archers except for the Vanguard: without cloud arrows, no matter how many arrows are prepared, it will not be enough.

In other words, with enough arrows, their physical arrows would be more lethal than those fired by the vanguard.

A person can unleash nearly a hundred arrows in ten seconds; this rate of consumption is enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

Even if the empire could supply arrows, how to carry them on the battlefield would be a problem.

This is also one of the reasons why the vanguard can be heavily armored while other archers cannot. The vanguard has cloud arrows, so they don't need to carry a dozen or so quivers of arrows, and can change into heavier armor.

Other archers not only carried the loads themselves, but also had their teammates carry them, and some even had to ride horses to carry them.

After all, even ten quiver loads of arrows wouldn't be enough for archers like them; they needed to be equipped with even more. The armor-piercing arrows had off-the-charts destructive power, the Kushan royal guards had an incredibly high rate of fire, and combined with their terrifying dynamic visuals, they achieved an extremely high hit rate simply through skill.

In an instant, a burst of arrows covered all the enemies in front of the Pato armored troops, their density striking the shields and armor with a crackling sound.

The sheer quantity and quality of the enemy directly overwhelmed the frontal defenses.
"Kill them!" Nilanjan roared, his eyes revealing no ruthlessness, as his comrades behind him had created the perfect opportunity for them.

We must seize the opportunity and press on with our momentum. Once the offensive is thwarted, it will be difficult to reorganize and have such an opportunity again.

Nilanjan's mental image completely erupted.

His vision was to transform the soldiers' determination and will into real fighting power.

The ability to distort reality through willpower is a characteristic unique to military spirit.

Although the Pato Armored Legion has not reached the level of three talents, it is still enough to fight against these top legions.

"Roar!" The soldiers behind Nilanjan roared. Since being annexed by Xinghan, they had rarely had the opportunity to go to the battlefield. All the soldiers were well aware of how important it was to go to the battlefield this time.

Nilanjan roared and led his soldiers forward with an unstoppable momentum.

"Clang!" What should have been a dull sound was instead a crisp sound as the small, round shield, about forty centimeters long, strapped to the arm of the Patuo warrior struck the large shield in the opponent's hand.

With a crisp sound like two steel balls colliding, the Mongol soldiers who were hit were sent flying backward, and at the very least, they unconsciously staggered back several steps.

The Pataka warriors only lost their balance slightly before launching a second attack. Their rigid conduction talent allowed them to transfer half of the impact to their opponents and also channel the remaining impact into the ground to deflect the force.

The fact that both sides were kicked up by the blow and created nearly equal clouds of dust speaks volumes.

"Bah!"

The centurion of the Patuo armored warriors, who had adjusted his movements first, launched a fierce attack. His heavy scimitar, glowing with an arc, sliced ​​directly into the opponent's armor, producing a sharp screech and sending bright sparks flying.

Amidst the sparks, blood splattered as the heavy scimitar shattered the armor and penetrated deep into the bodies of the Mongol soldiers.

With a powerful kick, he knocked the Mongol soldier to the ground. His comrades behind him immediately drew their pistols and stabbed the fallen Mongol soldier.

The entire defensive line collapsed directly under the combined attack of the Patuo Armored Corps and the Imperial Guard Archers.

Other legions rushed to reinforce the defense and hold off the charge of the Pato armored regiment.

But the moment they blocked the Patuo Armored Corps, another wave of trouble broke out in the central army. Thirteen Roses braved the rain of arrows and charged directly into the Mongol central army.

The Mongol infantry in the central army also had outstanding defensive capabilities, and the two legions were locked in a stalemate on the border line, like two city walls confronting each other.

This is also the best way to deal with heavy infantry: find another heavy infantryman, even if he is slightly weaker, he will be enough to keep them occupied.

When the archers of Changshui Camp habitually suppressed the Thirteen Roses, they went all in and blew up the Mongol archer army.

With the archers no longer a threat, the second wave of the Twelfth Thunderbolt Legion and the Eleventh Loyal Claudius arrived at the defensive line.

Unlike the Thirteen Roses, the Eleventh Loyal Crow and the Twelfth Thunderbolt Legion have a significant killing effect on heavy infantry.

"You think your mere Imperial Guards can stop us!"

Enraged, Luciano thrust his spear into the chest of the opposing soldier, and then unleashed a full-force sacrificial power that enveloped him. In the next instant, the Mongol soldier, unable to resist, was sacrificed by Luciano to the twelve lightning bolts on the other side.

This is the fighting style of the Eleven Loyal Claudie Legion. Their profound mastery of the Sacrifice talent is enough to keep them at their peak at all times. The only thing that binds them is the Sky High. No matter how many sacrifices they make, they cannot break through the Sky High's blockade.

Therefore, they sacrificed the enemies they killed to other legions, greatly enhancing the other legions' survivability and opening up the situation in a supportive role.

Even though they are an auxiliary legion, their pure combat power is enough for them to annihilate all opponents who are inferior to them.

Meanwhile, the Twelve Lightning Throwers, after receiving the sacrifice of the Eleven Loyal Claudie Legion, unfurled their eagle banners and activated their Lightning Throwing mode.

The so-called "Thunderbolt Mode" involves transforming one's own power into a physical force that explodes within the opponent's body.

It got its name because it looks like lightning exploding inside the other person's body.

They were the legions Rome used to break through enemy lines, and also the pinnacle of Rome's research on heavy infantry offense and defense.

Any legion that relies on equipment will be countered by the Thunderbolt Legion. Only the muscular defense of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the idealistic defense of the Will Legion, or the super-strong recovery ability of the Undying Guards can withstand the twelve Thunderbolt Legions.

The Roman legions of the Three Eagles transformed into incredibly sharp pincers, clamping down hard on the Mongol army's defenses.

Seeing that the Mongol Yuan still made no move, Zhang Liao was somewhat puzzled, but seeing that the opportunity was rare, he directly ordered the spearmen and shieldmen on the far right to launch a collective charge.

The most fundamental difference between spearmen and shieldmen and pikemen is actually the length of their pikes.

The larger the shield, the shorter the spear in the hands of the spear-shield soldiers. For example, the spears of the Northern Song Dynasty's Imperial Guards, which were purely defensive units, had been completely replaced by short spears.

The spearman and shieldman strikes a balance between the two.

Under this balance, they also have the ability to charge in formation.

Rows of spears, perched atop shields, lined up straight for a powerful charge, while the Imperial Guard archers rained down arrows in support.

The two sides were locked in a fierce struggle, and although they were not as unstoppable as the other two sides, they still managed to push the defensive line into a dent.

"What are they planning to do?"

Zhang Liao was completely baffled. If he hadn't known that the Mongol Yuan dynasty had spatial teleportation, it wouldn't have been so difficult to understand.

But knowing that the other party has this technology, yet not using it, clearly indicates some kind of conspiracy.

"No matter what you're hiding, I'll force you to reveal it."

Zhang Liao calmly mobilized his armored cavalry, the Kushan's most powerful heavy cavalry. Although not as strong as the Imperial Guards, they were still a force capable of delivering a decisive blow.

The attacks from the left flank and the central army were exceptionally fierce, successfully creating a gap between them. Zhang Liao seized the opportunity and sent out his armored cavalry.

Amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, the Mongol Yuan forces finally couldn't resist using spatial teleportation technology. They knew very well that if this weakness were breached by the heavy cavalry, it would be directly exposed.

A Mongol cavalryman appeared behind the armored cavalry, while another Mongol cavalryman charged directly at the Twelve Lightning Bolts.

"I was prepared for this move!" Zhang Liao sneered. He had long anticipated that the other side would give such instructions.
