Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Because Xu Huang led his men to live on the outskirts and even patrolled the area himself.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers under Yu Jin's command remained remarkably calm.

The officers and soldiers knew all too well how strong Xu Huang was.

In their minds, Xu Huang's main force, when unleashed to its full potential, was capable of competing with any legion in the world.

Because of this understanding, after the attack, all the soldiers who woke up calmly armed themselves as if they were in training, without any panic, and even remembered to kick their comrades who were so carefree that they closed their eyes again.

This composure wasn't an instinctive calm gained from countless training sessions, but rather a complete trust in Xu Huang's abilities.

After waking up, most of the squad leaders and centurions in the camps were even calmer than during training.

"Don't panic, don't panic, don't forget anything. Form ranks, get them in order first. The enemy can't get in. Xu Huang and the others can definitely hold them off. Form ranks first, then come out of the tent. Don't worry, the enemy definitely can't get in." The squad leader gave the instructions calmly, even more so than during training.

After all, there are time requirements during training, but this time we won't pursue those; we'll only pursue calmness and combat effectiveness.

When any catastrophic event occurs, the chaos can cause more trouble than the disaster itself. With enough calm, many problems can be solved.

Therefore, by the time Xu Huang sent a signal for reinforcements, the entire camp was already fully prepared, arranged in formation, and, under the command of officers and soldiers of all ranks, charged towards the Mongol elites on the outer perimeter with their weapons in formation.

"Damn it, you lost so badly during the day, and now you still dare to come back and cause trouble, not letting Grandpa get a good night's sleep. You'll never get any sleep in your lives!"

The enraged centurion roared as he charged toward the faces of the Mongol soldiers.

"Pfft!"

Like the sound of water being released from a water bag, the centurion and the Mongol soldier collided. The centurion staggered back two steps, while the Mongol soldier had already lost his life.

The longsword in the hands of the centurion who had made great contributions was a specially made high-grade product, and it was one of the divine swords that Zhao Yun had personally nurtured, possessing original spirituality.

Although it was very primitive, it was an absolute marvel in battles between soldiers.

At the moment of impact, the centurion pierced the enemy's armor with his longsword, thrusting it down into the chest of the Mongol soldier and directly through his heart.

The Mongol soldiers died with their eyes wide open in discontent, and the centurion himself was stronger, which could be considered bullying the weak.

And then, shamelessly, they borrowed things that didn't belong to them.

But the centurion, indifferent, kicked the Mongol soldier to the ground, stabbed him in the throat with his sword, and pounced on the next Mongol soldier.

So what if he's shameless? He earned this through his own abilities.

He had followed Yu Jin and captured a man whose internal energy had left his body before he obtained this divine sword in exchange. He used it with a clear conscience.

However, the centurion's situation is a rare and special case.

Most soldiers were at a disadvantage the moment they made contact.

They were regular soldiers, at best imperial guards, and faced an exceptionally difficult battle against the Mongol Yuan army's three-star fighting force.

Most of the soldiers were overwhelmed as soon as they engaged in combat, and some were even severely injured because they lost their temper in the morning.

After being hit head-on, they realized that the soldiers who attacked the camp this time were not simple.

From initial recklessness, they quickly adjusted to a steady and methodical approach.

Yu Jin quickly relayed the information, and everyone knew that their opponent was not simple. They dared not advance rashly and began to fight a defensive counterattack.

"Everyone be careful! The enemy is elite!"

Before Yu Jin's news spread throughout the army, the soldiers on the front line had already realized what was happening. After all, the occasional death of one or two comrades could be attributed to their comrades' carelessness, but in just a few moments, thirty or forty of their comrades had fallen. How could they, who were not blind, not know how ridiculously strong the enemy was?

"Wenze, I'm here to help you!"

Xu Shu arrived and immediately began helping Yu Jin to manage the cloud formations, unleashing his spiritual power to use a secret cloud formation technique.

The army's aura surged and churned, instantly multiplying several times over, causing the Mongol forces to feel a sudden heaviness in their bodies.

The gap between the soldiers on both sides was reduced to a degree that was visible to the naked eye.

"What is this?" Yu Jin was somewhat stunned; Xu Shu's move was beyond his comprehension.

"How about my exclusive Xuanxiang Secret Technique—Nine Heavens Golden Lock?" Xu Shu smiled smugly.

"It involves using your spiritual talent to infiltrate the opponent's cloud energy, incorporating it into the cycle of heaven and earth's essence, increasing the amount of cloud energy, and unilaterally strengthening the cloud energy suppression effect?"

After a moment's thought, Yu Jin instantly understood the details of Yu Jin's move.

He and Xu Shu were old friends, and he was quite aware of Xu Shu's abilities.

"As expected of Wen Ze, you've already guessed most of the effects!" Xu Shu chuckled and pointed to the cloud of the army.

Yu Jin immediately realized that it wasn't a one-sided enhancement of the cloud suppression effect, but rather a comprehensive enhancement of the effect of his own cloud.

It not only strengthened the suppression, but also enhanced the soldiers' defense, making them more survivable.

The reason it's exclusive is because it's something developed entirely based on Xu Shu's own spiritual talent.

Only Xu Shu was capable of using this; there was simply no other like him…aside from Zhuge Liang.

Xu Shu was also unsure whether Zhuge Liang could replicate it to this extent.

This can be seen as Xu Shu further developing his abilities over the years.

The effect was quite obvious. The Mongol soldiers who had previously been able to suppress Yu Jin's side suddenly seemed to be wearing shackles, their movements and reactions were slowed down, and their suppressive power was greatly reduced.

Yu Jin seized the opportunity and directly mobilized the troops on both flanks to break out of the camp, circle around, and closely follow the camp to encircle the Mongol raiding force.

"Load armor-piercing arrows!"

Yu Jin had already received the message from the front and confirmed that there were no more troops in the rear of the Mongol Yuan army. He immediately ordered the archers in the vanguard to fire armor-piercing arrows.

Even if the other side suddenly parachutes in, they still need a location; they can't just land directly on one of our own people.

Therefore, at this moment, go all out and don't hold back.

Although we already know that the opponent's defense is not weak, at this distance, even an ordinary archer with armor-piercing arrows would probably be wounded but not killed. However, it would be enough to wound them.

They, Xinghan, are qualified to wage wars of wealth; they will resolutely not resort to human lives to solve problems that can be solved with resources.

A dense rain of arrows fell, but the effect was not very good. Yu Jin realized at this time that these soldiers must have been carefully selected. They had high resistance to piercing attacks and their bodies were protected by a membrane-like layer, making it difficult for arrows to cause damage.

For a time, the three elite troops that Yu Jin had separated attacked from three directions at the same time. However, facing the enemy's defensive capabilities that countered arrows, Yu Jin, who was unable to push the ballistae forward, could not come up with a good plan.

"Let them in, then shut the door and beat them!"

Xu Shu gave a shout, and Xu Huang immediately retreated a bit, pretending to be unable to resist and luring the enemy a large distance into the camp.

By the time the enemy realized something was wrong, they were already deep inside the camp, surrounded by spearmen and shieldmen mobilized by Yu Jin. No matter the strength of the legion, they would feel extremely troubled by such a dense barrage of long weapons.

The saying "an inch longer, an inch stronger" is no joke. Even for gun-and-shield soldiers, the length of their weapons is several times greater than that of weapons like scimitars or maces.

After being restrained by Xu Shu and Yu Jin, the Mongol Yuan forces were like a wild beast that had fallen into a trap, charging wildly in all directions and nearly breaking through the defensive line several times.

Fortunately, Yu Jin commanded effectively. As soon as the situation went wrong, he immediately sent a phantom soldier to take the hit. By the time the Mongol Yuan side reacted, their morale had been completely worn down.

"In which direction do you think things will go wrong next?"

Xu Shu glanced at the battlefield and, confirming that Yu Jin had almost completely taken control of the situation, asked in a calm tone.

"It must be General Zhao's side, probably targeting the White Horse Cavalry!" Yu Jin thought for a moment and felt that the White Horse Cavalry was the most likely culprit.

After all, it would be difficult to surround and intercept the White Horse Cavalry on the plains, but within this camp, they would have the opportunity to ambush and kill them.

“I think they might go after General Zhang Fei!” Xu Shu looked at the Mongol soldiers fighting to the death, a meaningful look appearing on his face.

"Deal with General Zhang?"

Yu Jin was somewhat taken aback. Meng Yuan had just suffered a great loss at Zhang Fei's hands, yet he still dared to turn around and deal with Zhang Fei.

But in the next instant, Yu Jin realized what was going on.

Yes, they are now dealing with the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

Zhang Fei had just displayed his might, and for the Mongol Yuan, the loss was insignificant; what mattered was saving face.

We may lose the war, but we must not lose our morale.

Therefore, they would inevitably target Zhang Fei first. As for the surprise attack on Yu Jin first, it was a feint, a way to create a stage for defeating Zhang Fei.

A stage where no one could find fault after defeating Zhang Fei.

Since Zhang Fei had broken through their defenses in one fell swoop, they were going to kick Zhang Fei's camp away in one fell swoop as well.

Just as they were pondering this, they heard a deafening roar that echoed through the sky.

"Zhang Yide...has he gone mad?"

Dian Wei stared wide-eyed at Zhang Fei, sensing the resolute determination emanating from Zhang Fei's aura.

"What's going on?" Xu Shu and Yu Jin were not experts, so they immediately asked Dian Wei.

"Zhang Yide is forcibly condensing his golden core; he's courting death!" Dian Wei's face was dark; he had no idea what this madman Zhang Fei was doing.

"Is there no possibility of success?" Xu Shu asked calmly.

"No, it's certain death!" Dian Wei said definitively.

Zhang Fei hasn't even broken through the three realms yet, and he still wants to achieve the indestructible golden elixir? Isn't that insane?

"Go quickly and see what's going on!" Xu Shu immediately ordered Dian Wei to go and provide support. Zhang Fei was involved in too many problems, and if he died like this, it would be a huge trouble.

Dian Wei shook his head and refused the order: "The Emperor entrusted me with the task of protecting your safety, Military Advisor Xu. I will never leave. Besides, I would be useless if I went there. I can't handle Zhang Yide's affairs."

Refined skills are among the most limited, and given that this is a battlefield, Dian Wei can't do anything.

Xu Shu's face darkened, but he could only sigh helplessly.

He knew that Dian Wei was stubborn and inflexible, so no matter what he said, it wouldn't make a difference.

We can only pray that nothing goes wrong with Zhang Fei.

The Mongol Yuan forces also sensed the commotion from Zhang Fei's side.

"It seems they've already started!"

Knowing that the feint attack had succeeded, Tiezha, who was leading the team, breathed a sigh of relief.

They're under a lot of pressure. Now that they've achieved their goal, they can retreat.

"General, the centurions on the left and right flanks have urgently notified us that the Xinghan Army has mobilized a large number of troops from both flanks to encircle our rear, and the Xinghan Army on the front has also launched a suppressive attack." The messenger rushed over to deliver the message.

"Withdraw!" Tieza gave the order without hesitation.

Xu Huang was determined to give chase, but he was also somewhat powerless against such a strong army that was determined to escape.

Fight! Fight with all your might!

They had just unleashed their full combat power, and the legion as a whole hadn't recovered yet. Now they've unleashed another wave of power, and if they fight desperately again, the entire legion might lose its fighting capacity after the battle.

If we don't fight, it's frustrating to just watch the meat that's about to be in our mouths fly away.

Remembering Yu Jin's words, Xu Huang still chose to stop.

It would be embarrassing to be ambushed in the dark.

"Stop! Fire!"

Xu Huang, his face dark, gave the order and chased after them for several hundred paces, unleashing a barrage of crossbow bolts at the retreating Mongol Yuan forces.

"Withdraw to the camp, but do not let your guard down. Send someone to check on General Zhang Fei's situation, and also to inquire about the situation in the other camps."

After discovering that Xu Huang had stopped, Tie Zha ran a few hundred meters more before adjusting his formation and retreating in a more stable manner. He then protected the wounded soldiers at the rear and directed his elite troops to retreat backward.

As the soldiers spontaneously formed ranks and adjusted their formation, Yu Jin watched with a solemn expression as the iron spikes gradually disappeared into the darkness. Looking at the shadowy figures, Yu Jin's eyes darkened considerably.

Take a deep breath and suppress the distracting thoughts in your mind.

The other party was clearly using quality to bully them, and they didn't have any good recourse.

But this isn't over yet. What night raids fear most is that after they've attacked you once, just when you think it's over and you can finally rest, they strike again.

More importantly, the opponent's spatial teleportation is unpredictable, and if you're not careful, you could be attacked a second time.

A second sneak attack is extremely frustrating. After all, if a legion successfully repels the opponent after the first night attack and develops the mentality that the opponent won't come back, a second night attack will basically result in total annihilation.

"Send men to assess the losses, strengthen patrols and reconnaissance to prevent further attacks, and dispatch scouts in teams of thirty to patrol the perimeter. They shouldn't attack again, but this is just a precaution," Yu Jin casually instructed his deputy.

"I wonder how General Zhang is doing?" Xu Shu gazed in the direction of Zhang Fei.

“Wen Yuan has already gone there. Since there’s no signal, there’s no need to worry!” Yu Jin casually reassured him.

No matter what happens, it is essential to remain calm and composed, which is an indispensable quality for a commander-in-chief.

Therefore, Yu Jin is unusually calm now, even more insightful than Xu Shu in his understanding of the situation. (End of Chapter)
