Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

After agreeing on a basic plan, everyone went on to make their own preparations.

As everyone was leaving, Xu Shu gave a reminder.

"Please be careful tonight, everyone. The Mongol Yuan dynasty may send men to attack."

"Don't forget they have the ability to teleport. Increase patrols and prepare in advance."

Xu Shu's concerns were not unfounded, mainly because the Mongol army had completely withdrawn, leading Xu Shu to suspect the Mongol army's intentions.

Everyone nodded in understanding and then took their leave.

"Marshal Yu, please wait!" Xu Shu called out to Yu Jin.

"Yuanzhi, is there anything else?" Yu Jin turned around and looked at Xu Shu with some curiosity.

He didn't know why he was the only one left behind.

"Our camp is loosely positioned on the outskirts. Your location is near the edge of the city. If someone attacks the camp, it will be to draw attention to them. Do not pursue them!"

Xu Shu knew that Yu Jin was a veteran of the battlefield, so he didn't need to say much. After pointing out the key points to Yu Jin, Yu Jin naturally knew what to do.

"I'll be careful. I'll go back to camp and set up the defenses first!" Yu Jin nodded, his expression almost unchanged.

Since he knew the enemy would attack the camp, he could just make more preparations.

As for whether the other side will come or not, since Xu Shu has already said so, then the other side will definitely come.

After returning from the ban, he made further adjustments to the camp and then asked Xu Huang for his opinion.

Do you think they'll launch a night raid?

"Whether they can or not is not important. What we need to do is to prepare for both visible and hidden sentries, as well as patrolling soldiers and to make arrangements to guard against enemy night attacks."

Xu Huang shook his head and said that he was inclined to believe that the enemy would come. The enemy had been defeated but had not collapsed and still had considerable strength. The enemy would definitely not swallow this insult and would inevitably come to retaliate.

Whether the other party will actually make a move or not makes no difference to them; they'll do these things anyway.

“It’s different. If the enemy launches a night attack, we should actively prepare for it. If they don’t, we should let more soldiers rest to ensure our fighting strength for tomorrow,” Yu Jin said calmly.

"There's definitely no way to be sure about that. We don't even know the situation of the opposing commander. Even the strategists wouldn't fabricate something out of thin air!"

Xu Huang sighed. Judging whether the opponent would launch a night attack was something that could only be done by experience and the opponent's personality.

However, they still don't know the name of the commander on the other side.

How do we determine this?

They failed to capture a single survivor, and even those few they managed to knock unconscious all roared as they returned to the Eternal Heaven and committed suicide.

Without any intelligence, everything is just like a blind man crossing a river.

"Increase patrols; Xu Yuanzhi won't speak without reason!"

"I've instructed my troops to sleep fully clothed, don their armor, and keep their weapons at hand. If our camp is attacked, I'll immediately organize a counterattack to repel the enemy and then pursue them all the way to the city!" Xu Huang suggested to Yu Jin.

"Yuanzhi specifically instructed us not to pursue them!"

"This... I understand. I'll drive them out and not pursue them any further!" Xu Huang shook his head, still remembering Xu Shu's instructions.

Yu Jin knew there was no better way, so he could only choose to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

"That's the only way. Thank you for your hard work, Gongming."

Xu Huang nodded. He didn't plan to rest tonight; for an expert like him, staying up all night was no problem at all.

"Don't worry, my headquarters is located on the outermost perimeter. That way, if they attack from there, the first opponent they'll face is my headquarters." Xu Huang's face was filled with confidence.

"And I will definitely drive them out!"

Yu Jin and Xu Huang exchanged a glance, noticing each other's expressions, and decided not to say anything more.

Yu Jin also knew that his own unit was somewhat weaker than Xu Huang's unit; it wasn't the kind of powerful unit that could fight to the death as long as it was willing to risk its life.

On the other side, Xu Shu tapped his knuckles, deep in thought.

Although the entire army has reached a basic consensus and decided to further assist Chi You, tactical adjustments are still needed.

After all, this plan was extremely dangerous, and if the situation turned bad, they could very likely suffer heavy losses.

But it cannot be denied that this plan was more meaningful than the siege itself.

The main reason is that the other side has mastered the technology of spatial teleportation, which allows them to create many different kinds of situations.

They are still too passive and need to adjust their tactics based on the opponent's reactions.

Unfortunately, the opposing team's home ground is still developing its technology to prevent spatial teleportation, so this is the only way they can defend against it for now.

"Since you're worried, then go and take a look for yourself. I'll take care of the defenses here!" Jiang Wei said, seeing Xu Shu's distress.

"Alright, the camp defense setup is now in your hands!"

After hearing Jiang Wei's words, Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded; he was indeed worried.

"I'll go and wander around between the battalions to see if I can find any potential problems!"

As Xu Shu spoke, he bowed to the burly man beside him.

"General Dian, thank you for your trouble!"

"It is my duty as a subordinate; strategist, there is no need for such formality!"

Dian Wei clasped his hands in acceptance of the order; he was tasked with protecting Xu Shu on this mission.

After several battles, Dian Wei basically gave up leading troops on the battlefield and instead served as a professional bodyguard.

With him around, Jiang Wei was naturally at ease about Xu Shu's safety.

As long as they don't rush headlong into the enemy's stronghold, Dian Wei can completely protect Xu Shu and break through the encirclement.

With Dian Wei escorting Xu Shu on patrols within the camp, Xu Shu felt safe.

It was precisely because Dian Wei was with him that Xu Shu dared to run around freely.

The moon rose above the treetops, its faint light obscured by dark clouds.

After Yu Jin and Xu Huang finalized their plan, they immediately arranged for nighttime patrols and sentries.

Although it was uncertain whether the enemy would launch a night attack, it was clear that Yu Jin and Xu Huang were acting as if the enemy would come regardless.

"The moonlight is dim tonight, perfect for a raid on their camp!"

Xu Huang looked up at the moon in the sky, feeling a little emotional. If it were him, he would also choose to raid the camp if the celestial phenomena were like this.

Just as he was inspecting the camp, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Xu Huang's heart sank, and he shouted sharply, "Be on guard! Something's up!"

Before the words were even finished, a deafening explosion erupted from the outer wall of the camp. The rough wooden wall was blasted to pieces by the legion's attack.

Dozens of burning fireballs hurtled towards the camp from the darkness, leaving long trails of fire as they crashed down. The camp was instantly ignited, flames soared into the sky, and the sleeping soldiers were awakened, plunging the camp into chaos.

"Everyone calm down! Assemble and prepare for battle!"

Xu Huang roared. The opponent's attack was somewhat unexpected, but they were well prepared and not afraid at all.

When the Mongol army roared and charged forward, the patrolling soldiers, upon seeing the dense, dark mass, instinctively retreated while drawing their bows and arrows to fire at the enemy.

Their mission was not to hold off the enemy and buy time, but simply to remind the soldiers who were resting.

The soldiers, who were awakened, were briefly panicked and confused, but regained their composure at Xu Huang's voice. Then, with an air of otherworldly grace mixed with morning grumpiness, they grabbed their weapons and began to assemble, their faces dark.

If you won't let me get a good night's sleep, then I'll make sure you never wake up again!

Having already received orders, Xu Huang's troops quickly drank the sleeping potion they carried with them to refresh themselves and eliminate fatigue, which was perfect for this moment.

Xu Huang's main force began to assemble at an extremely fast pace, and then, together with the patrol soldiers, charged towards the enemy attacking the camp.

They had just formed their battle formation when the Mongol archers unleashed a barrage of armor-piercing arrows at Xu Huang's main force.

Faced with the barrage of arrows, Xu Huang's troops were about to brace themselves and withstand the onslaught when they discovered a vortex field above their heads. They immediately formed an offensive formation and charged toward the appearing enemy.

The vortex field, like a simple umbrella shielding you from the rain, managed to block all the arrows.

"Such strong defense, such elite quality."

The Mongol commander, Tieza, squinted as he watched Xu Huang's main force deflect the arrows and immediately form an orderly formation to advance. His expression was slightly grave.

When faced with a night attack, their composure in dealing with the enemy, as if they had practiced hundreds of times, exceeded Tiezha's expectations. This level of experience and skill was completely beyond imagination.

"Were they prepared?"

The idea briefly crossed Tiezha's mind before being thrown out. The plan was devised on the spot during his impromptu uprising, and the other side couldn't possibly have known about it beforehand.

But a normal legion could never possess such qualities; after all, no human being should be so calm when facing danger.

"The enemy was already on guard against our night raid; they anticipated our arrival..."

Tie Zha glanced at Xu Huang's main force with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. The quality of his soldiers was definitely top-notch, but there was still a huge gap between them and the quality displayed by Xu Huang's main force.

He knew that some special method must have been used, but whatever the method, it was very effective.

Therefore, although Tieza was slightly surprised, he also prepared to fight with all his might.

The defeat in broad daylight was due to the excessive length of the battle lines, coupled with Zhang Fei's unexpected outburst, resulting in a complete and utter defeat.

Now that they are using space teleportation to launch a preemptive attack on the camp, they are bound to make Xinghan pay.

"Throw spears!"

Without Tieza giving orders, the Mongol elites who were engaged in battle spontaneously drew their short spears and roared as they hurled them at the Xinghan army in front of them.

At this distance, given the skill level of the Mongol elites, they could easily pierce a person's heart.

However, reality dealt a heavy blow to the Mongol elites.

"Ding!"

Most of the spears that were shot straight at the enemy, just like the arrows before them, bounced off the vortex force field like bullets, a sight that stunned many Mongol soldiers for a moment.

"The intensity has increased dramatically; the opponent was fully prepared long ago!"

The soldiers who went into battle all thought of this, and Tiezha, as the commander, understood it instantly as well.

Although I don't quite understand how the other party prepared in advance, I'm not completely at a loss.

"Take this axe!" Xu Huang roared as he charged out, leading his personal guards to Tie Zha's front.

After taking a direct hit from Xu Huang, Tie Zha's expression became extremely solemn.

Xu Huang's strength was somewhat beyond their expectations. He didn't display any fancy moves; these simple and straightforward numbers could largely represent the number of soldiers.

"Load the crossbows and fire horizontally!"

More than a thousand crossbow bolts shot out from Xu Huang's main force. With the power of these bolts, they even made a whistling sound when they were fired.

Even at this distance, the Mongol elites were still shot down.

Those who survived either successfully blocked the vast majority of the crossbow bolts, with only a very small number being hit; no one on the scene fell.

"Bah!"

The Star Han regular army, charging at the forefront, had already encountered the troops lined up in formation. The heavy scimitars in their hands slashed out with arcs of light, accompanied by sharp screeching sounds, and bright sparks flew everywhere.

"Thump!" A dull thud echoed as the short-spearman behind the scimitar-wielder successfully bypassed the Star Han soldiers' defenses, stabbing directly into their abdomen and forcefully ending their life.
However, the short spears, which were pulled out with both hands, were not enough to be drawn directly. The Xinghan soldiers, like wolves, ruthlessly countered the Mongol elites while still wounded.

"Sizzle~" The sound of metal cutting through metal was heard. Even after a brief stalemate, the attack of the Xinghan soldiers easily broke through the opponent's defense.

Blood splattered everywhere, and with this shift in attack and defense, the soldiers on both sides became much more serious.

The other party is an absolutely formidable opponent.

"Organize the formation and strengthen the defense!"

Xu Huang's expression was extremely solemn. His opponents were no weaker than his own troops; they were the elite of the elite.

I initially thought they were just harassing me, but it turned out to be a fierce attack.

The opponent is also an aggressive type, and fighting them head-on would result in too many losses. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid direct confrontation and instead forcefully delay the process while waiting for Yu Jin to deploy his troops.

For a top-tier legion like theirs, as long as they are careful, there will be no large-scale casualties, which is still within their control.

But when Xu Huang suddenly saw the fully armed legion behind the enemy, exuding a chilling aura, his heart sank.

He sensed a deadly threat, one that was either the Miracle Legion or very close to it.

Unable to discern the signal immediately, Xu Huang suddenly released a signal into the sky—the signal that Xu Huang and Yu Jin had agreed upon.

Yu Jin, who was making troop deployments, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

This signal meant that Xu Huang had encountered an enemy he could not resist.

Yu Jin could mobilize his troops more quickly and with a more cautious formation.

He had originally planned to simply swallow up this invading enemy force.

But for now, Yu Jin only intends to defeat the opponent and be done with it.

Xu Huang was no ordinary officer; he wouldn't send this signal just because the opponent was slightly stronger than him.

In other words, it could be an unexpected enemy.

Yu Jin mobilized the entire camp. Even the soldiers resting on the inner flanks of the vanguard, armed and led by their officers, charged out, forming a vast net that enveloped the enemy. (End of Chapter)
