Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Siege warfare has always been one of the most troublesome things.

Even when a military genius is besieging a city, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, while conquering the city itself is secondary.

Yue Fei used the siege equipment he had set up to smash the city for two days, but the defensive shield inside the city remained as solid as a rock, like an impregnable fortress, and withstood all the attacks.

"The clouds are too thick now, and many of our methods are no longer effective. We probably won't be able to take it down in a short time."

Jiang Wei was somewhat helpless. He had always tried to surround the city on three sides and leave one side open, but because of the city's secret defense technique, they found it difficult to breach the city walls.

Even the stone pellets launched using electromagnetic magic could not leave a dent in the city wall; its hardness left anyone who saw it shaking their head in frustration.

Xu Shu spent his days analyzing the area near the protective shield, trying to find a loophole in the city's defenses, but after several days, there was no progress.

"Don't rush. While we certainly need to capture this city, our fundamental objective is to provide a distraction to the main battlefield and maintain high-intensity pressure. The other side will definitely get anxious!"

Yue Fei calmly stared at the real-time sand table, his attention mainly focused on Chi You's side.

The war between Chi You and Temur has begun.

After the Xinghan strategist group's assessment was relayed to Chiyou, Chiyou decided to launch a general offensive.

The core point is this: regardless of the reason why the Mongol Yuan dynasty is unable to spare resources, now is the best time for them to launch a major offensive.

Thinking that the opportunity was too good to miss, Chi You launched a full-scale attack.

Because the area involved was extremely large and the scope of the war was very wide, Yue Fei paid close attention to the battlefield there, using the light and shadow of the Fifth Lark to create a real-time sand table and analyze the situation on the battlefield.

"Report, Marshal Yue, the White Horse has arrived at the central battlefield and is carrying out your orders to sabotage the Mongol camp!"

Yue Fei nodded upon hearing this. The White Horse Cavalry was not very useful in attacking cities. Reconnaissance was handled by Fifth Sky Sparrow, so there was no need for the White Horse Cavalry to patrol.

Therefore, Yue Fei let Bai Ma go to the main battlefield and do whatever he wanted, hoping to create some chaos.

With the Mongol Yuan forces focused entirely on Chi You, Zhao Yun managed to seize an opportunity, burning down several camps and causing considerable chaos.

Especially for those small detachments transporting supplies, encountering Zhao Yun's White Horse Cavalry was a disaster.

Zhao Yun unleashed his "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" move, instantly wiping out half of the grain transport team. The remaining team was powerless against the swift, wind-like attacks of the white horse.

"Set these on fire and prepare to retreat!"

Zhao Yun flicked his finger and used a secret fire technique to ignite the grain carts. The soldiers on the white horse used torches to set all the grain carts ablaze, and then followed Zhao Yun away.

Half an hour after leaving the crime scene, Zhao Yun ordered his soldiers to stop and rest.

"The First Battalion shall disperse and scout in all directions, while the remaining soldiers shall disperse and rest in place for a quarter of an hour!"

Zhao Yun's gaze was deep. From the beginning until now, they had burned four camps and wiped out more than a dozen grain transport teams, but for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty as a whole, it was still just a drop in the ocean.

However, their goal was simply to harass the Mongol Yuan dynasty, and they didn't care about the specific gains, as long as they could effectively disrupt the Mongol Yuan.

"The Mongol Yuan dynasty should be making a reaction soon..."

Zhao Yun pondered that the Mongol Yuan dynasty could not allow them to continue their rampage; at the very least, they should send people to drive them away.

This was another task for Zhao Yun: to lure the Mongol cavalry into an ambush, where Gao Chong and Zhang Liao would join forces to annihilate them.

Yue Fei did not intend to launch a full-scale attack on the city, so the Miracle Legion was directly released and hidden using the secret technique of light and shadow, lurking on the road where the white horse traveled back and forth, waiting for the Mongol Yuan to fall into the trap.

This can be considered their last effort; by involving one more top-tier Mongol army, their chances of winning on the main battlefield can be improved.

After all, the legion needed to drive away the white horse must be the elite of the elite; otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to see the white horse's back.

"Report, General, there are traces of cavalry legions in the west, southwest, and northwest directions. We cannot confirm their type yet, but the speed of the legions in the west is far beyond that of ordinary legions."

"They're here!" Zhao Yun knew in his heart that the Mongol Yuan's response had arrived, and it seemed that their main intention was to drive them away.

"Everyone, get to work! Let's go check it out!"

At Zhao Yun's command, the white horses instantly assembled and galloped towards the light cavalry on the opposite side.

The White Horse Cavalry wouldn't even consider light cavalry a threat, since they were the fastest and strongest light cavalry themselves.

"It's those counterfeiters again!"

When Zhao Yun saw the opposing cavalry, he instantly recognized their identities.

They had encountered a counterfeit white horse before.

The White Horse Cavalry was unbreakable, so the only way to counter it was with white horses.

"We couldn't completely eliminate these counterfeit goods before, but this time we'll wipe them out!"

Zhao Yun's eyes were filled with murderous intent; he hated the fake white horse.

"Thieves, please leave!"

The fake White Horse Legion commander roared and charged out on horseback. The entire legion charged directly at the White Horse Righteous Army. In a race of speed, no one could withstand the White Horse.

The core strategy for fighting the White Horse Cavalry is to limit their speed.

"Fire arrows!"

The arrows rained down horizontally, blocking the path of the White Horse Cavalry. To other legions, this attack, which had no power and only limited range, would be a joke.

But it's different for the White Horse Cavalry. The faster the white horse is, the more damage it will suffer when it hits an arrow.

After all, forces are mutual.

This is also one of the reasons why Vanguard was able to restrain White Horse back then.

However, for White Horse, who has been promoted to the Soul of the Army and has completely mastered the path of speed and the element of wind, ordinary arrows have become completely ineffective.

The flowing wind naturally protected the white horse's body, and the arrows were deflected in other directions before they could even hit the horse.

"You think you can restrict me like this?"

Zhao Yun naturally turned his horse and charged toward his opponent's side, making a sharp turn just before reaching him.

What was a lightning-fast pace for other legions was like a trot for the White Horse Cavalry, within a controllable range, so turning around was no problem at all.

During a large loop, thousands of arrows, imbued with incredible speed and spin, landed directly within the formation of the fake white horse.

"Scatter to the left and right!" the fake white horse's legion commander roared, and the tactics he had rehearsed countless times were immediately displayed.

With lightning speed, the fake white horse suddenly accelerated again as the white horse made a turn.

This was also a deadly move that the fake White Horse and his gang had prepared for the sake of the White Horse Righteousness.

In terms of speed control, they were no match for the White Horse Cavalry, and in terms of spirit, they were utterly hopeless.

This is also why, in theory, the three fake white horses that were transformed from the three three-talent legions could barely replace a real white horse.

Therefore, the fake white horse has only one tactic that offers a chance of winning: at the moment when the real white horse turns and its speed decreases to a certain level, it must unleash its speed and use its life to crash into the real white horse and kill it.

To Zhao Yun's astonishment, the fake white horse suddenly accelerated, charging towards the tail of the real white horse. The real white horse, due to its turn, slowed to a critical point—a point where a White Horse Cavalry unit could balance speed and agility.

Other legions simply couldn't seize this moment, but the Fake White Horse could. They couldn't control their speed, but their speed was a true elite talent.

Their qualities were sufficient to enable them to reach the limit of the White Horse Speed.

"Calm down!" Zhao Yun's legion talent spread out, making all the White Horse Cavalry more focused and calm.

"Break down the whole thing into smaller parts and change direction!"

Seeing the fake White Horse Cavalry launch a desperate attack, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the White Horse Cavalry to scatter and turn around.

"It's now!"

Amidst furious roars, Mongol cavalry surrounded them from two other directions. They lacked the speed of the fake white horse, but possessed the most exquisite mounted archery skills.

A barrage of arrows shot after the scattered White Horse Cavalry.

But the white horse, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, slipped through the encirclement of the three cavalrymen and regrouped in another direction.

"What a brilliant killing move!"

Zhao Yun's eyes turned cold. His opponent had come prepared. Although he hadn't completely broken through Bai Ma's speed, he had already begun to pose a threat to Bai Ma.

After forcing them to scatter, the Mongol cavalry concentrated their arrows in a small area, breaking through the thinned wind barrier due to their dispersed nature, and killing many white horses.

Zhao Yun glanced at the white horse behind him; the enemy had killed about two hundred of the White Horse Cavalry in this wave.

This was the first time the White Horse Cavalry had encountered such a situation since it had established its military spirit.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun's talent forcing all the soldiers to remain calm and make the most accurate judgment, the losses might have been even greater.

Zhao Yun's talent is a lock on speed for Bai Ma, but it is also a safety net for Bai Ma.

Seeing that the other side was planning to use the same trick again, Zhao Yun sneered. Although the other side's tactic was well-thought-out, they had already seen it once, so it was no longer effective against them.

"Weave in from both sides of the Mongol cavalry, using lightning-fast arrows to haunt them with horizontal, harassing shots!"

The White Horse Cavalry split into two and began circling around the two Mongol cavalry units.

The fake white horse instantly became a sitting duck.

They couldn't control their speed, and faced with this kind of close combat, they didn't dare to use their super speed.

"The reason we don't operate with our allies is because our fighting style makes us vulnerable to being hindered by them!" Zhao Yun fired arrows in rapid succession.

A general whose internal energy had left his body was shot dead by Zhao Yun. One arrow shattered his internal organs in his chest cavity, and another arrow smashed his brains in his head. Even if Hua Tuo were on the scene, he would be helpless.

During the circling and entangled fighting, the White Horse Cavalry were even able to launch a sneak attack from behind the Mongol cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry was not slow, but in terms of relative speed, it was almost equivalent to the White Horse slashing the Mongol cavalry standing still with their backs to him.

Even if it doesn't reach the highest level of lethality, the speed difference combined with the cutting force of the wind still creates an exceptionally terrifying lethality.

Moreover, the Mongol cavalry, unable to turn around in time, were still facing away from the White Horse Cavalry.

Some soldiers were able to block the white horse's blade with skill and instinct, but many more were cut in half at the waist by the white horse during its gallop.

"They're probably about to get carried away!"

Zhao Yun glanced at the area where the bodies of the White Horse Cavalry and the bodies of Mongol cavalrymen were interspersed, with the latter numbering several times larger than the former.

However, the White Horse Cavalry also suffered considerable losses, totaling nearly five hundred men, which was quite devastating.

The White Horse Cavalry was reduced to just over three thousand men, and nearly five hundred more were lost. In a sense, the Mongol Yuan dynasty did achieve its goal of eliminating the White Horse Cavalry, even though the cost was so high that the Mongol Yuan dynasty felt a pang of regret.

Even with absolute speed, some Mongol cavalrymen were able to kill members of the White Horse Cavalry by anticipating a counterattack.

In terms of combat strength, the White Horse Cavalry was ultimately somewhat weaker.

Their value lies more in areas beyond directly confronting powerful enemies.

Zhao Yun took a deep look at the three Mongol cavalrymen, then turned his horse around and retreated in the predetermined direction.

"Chase!"

The three Mongol cavalry units tallied their losses, totaling approximately 1,200, which was lower than their estimated ratio of one to three.

They immediately perked up at this result.

Once the number of White Horse Cavalry decreases to a certain level, they will be unable to maintain the cloud aura defense and suppression of their own legion.

At that time, they could have used some secret techniques to completely limit the speed of the white horse.

A white horse without speed is like meat on a chopping board, to be cut however one pleases.

Taking down the White Horse would be a huge achievement.

They knew that White Horse was a strong force and could easily replenish its troops, but once they got through this period, they would naturally figure out how to counter this fast-paced playstyle.

There is no invincible fighting style in the world. The reason why they were so passive against the White Horse was that they never thought that a legion with extreme speed could actually reach the level of military spirit.

Once they reached this point, their previously tried-and-true tactic of using counterfeit goods to overwhelm genuine products became ineffective.

But it doesn't matter. As long as they are given time, they will definitely have the means to retaliate.

The three legions continued their pursuit of the white horse in a trident formation, following the original tactics.

However, as they focused on the location where the white horse was resting and launched their charge, two Miracle Legions suddenly jumped out from the left and right sides.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Upon seeing the two towering pillars of light, the three legion commanders were terrified.

Those who were so focused on the white horse committed the crime of carelessness.

Although they were unlikely to use scouts to reconnoiter during their pursuit of the white horse, the Miracle Legion was able to distort reality and forcibly conceal their location.

As a result, they fell completely unprepared into a triangular ambush formed by the White Horse and the two Miracle Legions.

"Trying to run? None of you will escape today!"

A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Liao's lips. The long horn sounded, and the Imperial Guards charged towards the Mongol cavalry with overwhelming force.

The best way to deal with an all-around cavalry is to find an even more all-around cavalryman who can deliver a near-complete and overwhelming defeat.

The Mongol cavalry were like this; their proud skills were no match for the Imperial Guard Wolf Cavalry. Their strength, speed, and reaction were all inferior to the Imperial Guard Wolf Cavalry, leaving them helpless and unable to fight back.

Even in a chaotic charge, the Imperial Guards Wolf Riders managed to rack up a stunning record of seven kills.

The Mongol cavalry commander gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do but fight his way through, trying to shake off the Imperial Guards. (End of Chapter)
