Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Your Grandpa Xu is here! Where do you think you're going to run to!"

Xu Huang excitedly led his main force and two puppet legions to block the direction from which the Mongol Yuan forces were breaking out.

This wasn't the first time the two sides had met. Tie Zha knew that Xu Huang was a tough nut to crack, but there was no way to avoid it, so he could only personally lead his personal guards to confront him.

"Today, our army has laid a trap here, let's see where you can escape to today." Xu Huang laughed and swung his axe.

The next moment, white waves appeared on the horizon, followed by large plumes of smoke and dust rising from both sides.

Tie Zha's eyes were bloodshot, knowing that he was likely in grave danger this time, but it wasn't the last moment yet, and he absolutely couldn't give up.

He also pinned his hopes on teleportation, hoping that the problem could be solved as soon as possible or that reinforcements could be sent to rescue him.

Tiezha knew that even if reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult for them to hold out until they did, so the best way for them to survive was to break through the encirclement.

With this thought in mind, Tieza punched himself hard in the heart, his skin immediately turning bright red and steam rising from his head.

Tie Zha's arms swelled with power, forcefully pushing the axe back from Xu Huang's hand.

Xu Huang knew that Tie Zha was going all out, and after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he chose to back down.

There was a tight net laid out here, so he had no need to risk mutual destruction to stop Tiezha.

On the contrary, he had already closed the door to Tieza's demise; all that remained was to see when Tieza would breathe his last.

Xu Huang's retreat quickly allowed Tie Zha to break through with his personal guards, but while Tie Zha's main force and cavalry could pass through Xu Huang's area, the remaining infantry could not.

After dodging the onslaught, Xu Huang immediately deployed a wedge formation, cutting the infantry and cavalry in half.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Mongol army broke through Xu Huang's defenses. After Xu Huang retreated, the two puppet legions were completely unable to stop the Mongol breakout.

However, Xu Huang intercepted and cut off the infantry and cavalry, and led his troops to block the infantry on the defensive line, and the two sides were locked in a fierce entanglement.

This prevented Xu Huang from pursuing the Mongol troops, forcing him to cooperate with Xiahou Yuan to deal with the remaining Mongol infantry.

"This road is blocked!" Ma Chao appeared before them with his Liangzhou cavalry.

"Split up and run away, don't get entangled with him!"

Tie Zha knew that Ma Chao was a formidable opponent, so he decisively changed direction to break through. Facing the Liangzhou cavalry head-on was definitely a mistake.

Seeing that Tie Zha had split up and fled, Ma Chao was not in a hurry. He directly led his troops to charge diagonally towards one of the split-up groups.

Jiang Wei, Xu Shu, Yu Jin, and others joined forces to set up this ambush from all sides, aiming to peel away the vital forces of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, layer by layer, like peeling an onion.

It's important to understand that they have the support of a massive army's cloud of energy within their camp. As long as they can hold off the enemy, Xu Huang's side can overwhelm them with their army's cloud of energy. Faced with such an absolute difference in cloud energy, even a top-tier legion would be powerless to stop them.

They felt even more sorrowful, especially when they perished together with some puppets in their final battle.

This sorrow cannot help them solve their predicament.

They were like dying beasts, desperately trying to drag other creatures down with them, but ultimately only met their demise.

"Damn it, why did the teleportation fail?"

Tieza roared angrily, cursing the technical sergeants behind him, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change the situation.

Cao Ang, Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun, the five cavalrymen, were like four vicious wolves, relentlessly pursuing the Ironclad Legion.

No matter what methods Tieza used, even if it meant cutting off his own tail to survive, they remained unmoved, persisting in relentlessly pursuing the Mongol army and tearing at it.

"This can't go on any longer!"

Tieza's face was extremely solemn. They had suffered countless losses along the way. If they continued running like this, they would be hunted down and killed before they even returned to the city.

Especially Ma Chao's main force, relying on their speed, charged in from the rear at an angle, and they simply couldn't withstand it.

Not to mention the white horse, which might charge up to them and unleash a barrage of lightning arrows, harassing them and forcing them to slow down.

This act, which could be described as killing someone and destroying their spirit, enraged Tiezha, but he had no choice but to endure it considering the current situation.

"General, we can't run anymore! If we can't repel these pursuers, we'll be chased to our deaths!" the lieutenant urged Tie Zha urgently.

"What else can we do if we don't escape..." Tie Zha's tone was somewhat desolate.

Their biggest advantage in attacking the camp was their ability to teleport.

However, their teleportation ability has now failed, turning their daytime attack on the camp from a clever move into a disastrous one, directly leading to their entire army being trapped in their current predicament.

"General, since there is no way to retreat, then let's fight! We are warriors of the Eternal Heaven, what's wrong with returning to the Eternal Heaven?" the lieutenant urged excitedly.

“You are right. We are warriors of the Eternal Heaven, and it is an honor for our souls to return to the Eternal Heaven.”

Tieza immediately made up his mind, just as his lieutenant had said, they were warriors of the Eternal Heaven.

Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, but if one's morale is extinguished, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Warriors of the Eternal Heaven, do you dare to turn back and fight!"

Tieza stood on horseback, raising his weapon high, and loudly questioned all the soldiers.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The raiding party consisted of the elite of the elite, and upon hearing Tiezha's question, they immediately understood his meaning.

They were being chased all the way, and naturally they were seething with anger.

Since there's no way to retreat, then turn around and fight the opponent.

They were the elite of the elite, and even knowing they were doomed, their fighting spirit did not wane in the slightest.

May our souls all return to the Eternal Heaven!

Tie Zha's hands trembled slightly, not from fear of death, but from guilt, for he had led so many soldiers to their deaths.

But then, Tie Zha's eyes turned cold.

Even if it means death, he will still take a piece of flesh from his enemy.

"war!"

The unusual movements of the Mongol Yuan dynasty quickly attracted the attention of the generals behind them.

"Should we go in? It seems like they're planning a counterattack?"

A hint of apprehension flashed across Cao Ang and Xiahou Dun's faces.

Chasing them is not a problem, but the other side is clearly going to fight like a cornered beast. This kind of counterattack before death is undoubtedly the most ferocious.

They brought Cao Wei's elite troops, and they really didn't want to waste them in a place like this.

Jiang Wei hesitated upon receiving the news.

The opposing team consists of top-tier elites; a head-on confrontation would result in too many losses.

Since they had already captured the infantry corps that raided the camp, and the gains from the pursuit were quite substantial, giving up at this point seemed like a huge win.

Most importantly, Tieza and his forces have already traveled a considerable distance, and the main army won't be able to reach them anytime soon. Without the advantage of the main army's aura, their losses will definitely be significant. When a top-tier legion is determined to fight to the death, even the Miracle Legion will be dragged down with them.

"Let's fight! If we let these guys escape now, we'll have to face them again later. Rather than facing them on the battlefield, we should kill them now and save some energy in the future!" Xu Shu said without hesitation.

"You, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xiahou Yuan take the cavalry to provide advance support. Yu Jin stays behind to help Xu Huang deal with these infantry. I'll take tens of thousands of puppets and speed up to the battlefield. The rest will arrive soon!"

Jiang Wei nodded after hearing Xu Shu's words.

They were indeed concerned about casualties, but it would be naive for the Mongols to think that such intimidation would deter them.

By the time Jiang Wei and his men arrived, the area had already turned into a meat grinder, with countless soldiers dying under the hooves of horses and being trampled into mincemeat by both sides.

"clang!"

Ma Chao's tiger-headed spear knocked away the curved blade in Tie Zha's hand, slicing through the air and leaving a wound on Tie Zha's ribs.

Tie Zha's personal guards rushed forward, blocking Ma Chao's pursuit. Ma Chao frowned, but still spurred his horse to follow the Liangzhou cavalry away. Not far away, he turned around, reorganized his formation, and launched another attack.

The battlefield is now in complete chaos, with several cavalry groups clashing together in a highly disorderly manner.

Ma Chao charged straight at Tieza several times, but due to interference from friendly forces and Tieza's avoidance, he missed him.

"Zhang Wenyuan is here! You villains, why don't you surrender at once!"

A roar echoed across the battlefield, and the large "Zhang" banner fluttered behind him in the wind.

Tieza's expression changed slightly. He knew that Zhang Liao's Imperial Guard Wolf Cavalry was the Miracle Legion, and their appearance was practically a death sentence for them.

"A miracle! So what if it's a miracle?"

"We are warriors of the Eternal Heaven; death is but a matter of life and death!"

Ignoring his injuries, Tieza unleashed all his inner energy and roared as he slew the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in front of him.

However, the appearance of the "Jiang" and "Yuan" banners on the horizon inevitably caused the morale of the Mongol Yuan side to plummet.

They all understood that with the arrival of enemy reinforcements, they had no hope of survival whatsoever.

Tieza fell silent. He understood that all was lost, and all that remained was how many people they could drag down with them to their deaths.

However, to Tiezha's surprise, Zhang Liao did not launch an attack at all. Instead, he raised his banner high, connecting Xu Shu, who was chasing after him, with Ma Chao and other troops in the midst of the melee.

Normal legions cannot complete this task, but the Feathered Wolf Riders are, after all, a miracle legion. Without interference, they can use the power to distort reality to forcibly accomplish some impossible things.

Thick clouds pressed down on the battlefield through the banners of the Imperial Guards, and the Mongol soldiers instantly felt immense pressure.

"Well done!" Ma Chao laughed and launched his charge. This time, he was determined to take down Tie Zha.

Tiezha's face turned ashen, yet he was utterly helpless.

As the commander of the large army, Zhang Liao instantly seized the biggest weakness of the Mongol Yuan forces. The clouds, which were fighting independently and were not solid to begin with, were now being suppressed by Zhang Liao's heavy clouds, making them even more scattered.

He could barely hold his own against Ma Chao before, but now he can't.

Looking at the Imperial Guards in the distance, and then at Ma Chao rushing straight towards him, Tie Zha couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation, wanting to kill the enemy but being powerless to do so.

"By the Eternal Heaven!"

Taking a deep breath, Tie Zha roared and spurred his horse toward Ma Chao.

The entire legion automatically split up the moment it approached Ma Chao, attempting to evade the strongest attack of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry's lightning-fast charge.

However, Ma Chao was no fool. He had already figured out Tieza's intentions when Tieza charged.

Just before the Ironza split up to take cover, the entire legion turned toward the Ironza's flank.

The formation that was originally meant to avoid charging instantly became Ma Chao's best target, and a single charge cut them in half with a trampling.

Iron spear was pierced by Ma Chao's tiger-head spear and held high in the air.

"The enemy general is dead, why don't you all surrender immediately!"

Ma Chao's roar sent shivers down the spines of all the Mongol soldiers, who stared in disbelief at the iron spearhead hanging from it.

"I... am unwilling..."

Tieza roared, never imagining that his end would be under such circumstances.

Ma Chao expressionlessly channeled his inner energy into the iron spike, shattering its core.

What can we do if we're unwilling? That's war.

Only the victors survive.

Xu Shu's army arrived late, and the battlefield was already being cleaned up.

Not a single Mongol surrendered, so they all became corpses.

Xinghan also suffered considerable casualties, after all, it was a desperate counterattack by a large group of top-tier legions.

If it weren't for the cooperation between Xu Shu and Zhang Liao, which significantly reduced the combat effectiveness of these top-tier legion soldiers, the casualties might have been even more severe.

"Clean up the battlefield and distribute the bodies of our fallen comrades!" Xu Shu sighed.

Once the battlefield is cleared, use the solidified military formation to sacrifice all the corpses on the ground, channeling the power of the sacrifice into the army to heal the severely wounded soldiers.

After returning to the camp and taking stock of the losses, Xu Shu felt a headache coming on.

They annihilated the enemy this time, but the casualty ratio was truly shocking. Despite having the upper hand, they only managed to inflict casualties of less than one to three.

The main problem was that the puppet legions suffered too many casualties when they were annihilating the Mongol infantry. Even when the top-tier legions were suppressed, they could still overwhelm the puppets and managed to destroy two puppet legions.

Although after recycling, the various materials can be disassembled and salvaged to create a full-strength puppet army.

But for them right now, it's really not a good thing.

After several days of back-and-forth fighting, their losses were considerable.

If they were to be deployed to the main battlefield, their losses would likely be even more severe.

This forced Xu Shu to consider overturning their previous decision and instead attacking the city to escape from Chi You's vortex.

They have indeed created a real obstacle here.

Even the intensity of the main battlefield was not as severe as theirs.

The two sides have lost tens of thousands of elite Imperial Guards combined, a loss that would have been unimaginable in the past.

However, in today's context, it's just an appetizer.

Everyone understood that the real war had not yet begun.

Their war is merely an appetizer; once the main battlefield erupts into chaos, it will be absolutely devastating. (End of Chapter)
