Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1047 A Pyrrhic Victory Is Still a Victory
"Dong dong dong~" Three muffled drumbeats sounded, and Chi You, who had been prepared, suddenly noticed a new change on the Mongol side.
Several more cavalry figures appeared on the already fiercely fighting battlefield, and they appeared from Chi You's flank.
And coincidentally, within this very area, the ferocious beast cavalry prepared by Chi You were hidden.
Chi You hid himself very well using the secret technique of light and shadow, and even Xing Han did not discover him, but he did not escape Temur's eyes.
"Did you really think I didn't see through your trick?"
Temur watched this scene with a cold smile. The Mongol cavalry had already charged forward like tigers released from their cages. The fierce cavalry, who were originally poised to attack, froze for a moment and had no choice but to charge forward and engage in battle.
If they don't charge, they'll completely lose their speed advantage.
The Mongol cavalry, who struck first, increased their speed to the maximum and roared as they charged toward the newly-started ferocious cavalry.
"Did you really think I'd wait until your momentum reached its peak before making my move?" Temur sneered repeatedly.
He had already thoroughly investigated Chi You's secret forces; he knew exactly what cards Chi You held and to what extent they could be used.
He wasn't just spacing out during this time; he was diligently studying Chi You's original data and current performance, drawing many conclusions and discovering many of Chi You's unconscious behaviors.
Chahatu, a renowned warrior of Mongolia, led the charge with the imposing presence of a dragon. The gleam of his broadsword sent a chill down the spines of everyone who witnessed it.
No need for excessive command; this kind of localized legionary skirmish is the most comfortable zone they dream of.
With a mere few thousand people, they were able to perfectly unite them through their own military force.
Three Mongol cavalrymen charged into the flank of the Jiuli army in a triangular formation.
Five thousand Mongol cavalry followed behind Chahatu, roaring as they charged towards the beast cavalry, the two sides clashing slightly as they charged forward.
Despite being outmaneuvered, the ferocious beast cavalry displayed extraordinary power and were not completely suppressed by the Mongol cavalry, having gathered their strength over half a day.
Both sides possessed the momentum of dragons, and were inspired by each other's fierce momentum to climb one limit after another, rushing directly towards heights they had never reached before!
The moment the two sides collided, they began to fight each other wildly. Both sides were top-tier elites, and the moment they clashed, they unleashed a terrifying power.
Chahatu's broadsword, carrying an incomparably fierce aura, slashed down at the Chi You brothers of the beast cavalry, instantly disemboweling one of them.
But these horrific injuries did not deter the Chi You brothers' momentum; instead, they unleashed an even stronger aura, launching a more frenzied attack on Chahatu, clearly intending to drag Chahatu down with them.
Chi You's expression turned slightly silent. This beast cavalry was a surprise force he had prepared, intending to launch it unexpectedly when the war reached its most intense stage.
However, the plan was stillborn before it even began, and Temur's officers performed exceptionally well under the comprehensive boost.
The seemingly chaotic battlefield, under Temur's command, became as harmonious as a musical piece.
"Chi You, you have escaped the shackles of time, why don't you appreciate the benevolence of the Eternal Heaven?"
Temur's voice reached Chiyou's ears.
"I'm giving you one last chance: serve the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and the Eternal Heaven will overcome all obstacles for you!"
"You want me to be your dog? You think you're worthy?"
A cold smile appeared on Chi You's face. He looked down on Temur and dismissed Temur's attempts to persuade him to surrender.
"Since that's the case, then die! Your bones will surely give birth to a new war god!"
Temur's face turned completely cold, and he turned to the priest of the Eternal Heaven beside him and gave an order.
"Initiate the sacrificial ceremony to let them know why the Eternal Heaven was able to sweep across the realm!"
Dozens of priests from the Eternal Heaven began to form a circle and begin their mysterious prayer ritual.
Finally, all the priests of the Eternal Heaven respectfully bowed down beneath the central banner, then plunged their daggers into their own chests, splattering their blood directly onto the banner.
The crimson hue stained the flag, giving rise to a radiant glow, and an immense will descended upon the flagpole.
An invisible force swept across the entire battlefield.
Like a miraculous radiance spreading outwards, the Jiuli army clearly felt their movements slowed down. The inexplicable suppression was something even Chi You could not escape.
The feeling of possessing immense power yet being unable to unleash it filled Chi You with unprecedented rage, which spread throughout the entire army.
"Break it for me!"
The feeling of possessing greater power yet being unable to unleash it filled the Jiuli warriors with immense anger. The feeling of being suppressed intensified their rage, but no matter how many times they tried, including Chi You's brothers, they could not break free and could only endure this suppression to fight against the Mongol army.
"To anchor reality in such a simplistic and brutal way... Chi You is finished!" Bai Qi sighed.
The Mongol Yuan dynasty used the same method that he had used to deal with Chi You.
The difference is that this time, Chi You no longer has the ability to self-destruct or to resurrect.
Moreover, the Mongol Yuan system had a wider scope.
The Mongol Yuan dynasty relied on rituals to gather the beliefs of all living beings and infiltrate the Heavenly Dao of this world. Using the Eternal Heaven as a medium, they directly altered reality and secured the Mongol Yuan's victory.
Faced with such a predetermined future, Chi You had absolutely no room for resistance.
The only variable is probably how much damage Chi You can inflict on the Mongol Yuan dynasty.
"How dare you humiliate me like this!"
Chi You's anger soared to the sky, and he broke through the ethereal suppression.
However, among the Jiuli army, only Chi You was able to do so.
The situation on the battlefield has been completely controlled by the Mongol Yuan dynasty.
This approach also made the people of Xinghan sigh. Chi You was beyond saving, and their previous plans had completely lost their meaning.
"What exactly is the Mongol Yuan doing? They were acting so strangely before, and now they're directly mobilizing the imperial will..."
"It's not a direct mobilization of the Imperial Will; this power is likely based on a distortion of the rules, and the Imperial Will is probably just a driving force!"
Zhuge Liang understood everything in a split second.
But it was precisely because he understood that he frowned. The Mongol Yuan dynasty chose the most foolish method, using rigid tactics to crush Chi You's Jiuli army.
Faced with such an absolute disparity in national strength, Zhuge Liang could not think of any effective solutions; basically, only a miraculous miracle could turn things around.
And miracles also occurred on the battlefield.
"Come at me!"
When faced with a predicament, Chi You only thought for a moment before making a decision.
He took the lead, charging forward with his assembled divine and demonic guards, carving a bloody path through the enemy lines towards Temur.
Miraculous light shone from all the divine and demonic guards surrounding Chi You.
A dazzling golden light emanated from Chi You, spreading to the divine and demonic guards, then rose up, continuously swirling upwards, tearing a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth through the clouds.
Then, the entire Jiuli warrior legion on the battlefield began to cooperate with Chi You in a fierce attack, in order to tie down the Mongol Yuan forces that could be mobilized to the greatest extent possible. The Miracle Legion moved like a dragon weaving through the Mongol Yuan army.
Yue Fei, who was watching the battle, sighed.
"They've fallen into their trap! They've meticulously planned every step; they've accurately predicted Chi You's thought process and knew he would act this way!"
Temur watched Chi You's charge with a cold gaze.
"According to the original plan, gather all the crossbows, ballistae, and bows together, without holding back any backup plans. Use up all the stockpiles in this wave!"
"Three, two, one!"
The Mongol generals made no attempt to conceal their actions, making their final aiming decisions in a voice clear enough for even Chiyou to hear.
As soon as the shout of "One!" was uttered, the Mongol Yuan army unleashed a barrage of explosive arrows that swept towards Chi You's direction.
At that moment, Chi You had just arrived in front of a heavily armored infantry legion with specialized defenses.
Although the battle lines differed somewhat from Temur's estimates, Chi You's overwhelming combat power, even under the influence of his cloud aura, still exceeded expectations.
At that very moment, nearly hundreds of thousands of arrows and crossbow bolts rained down on the entangled legions.
The explosive rain of arrows covered the entire area of Chi You's personal guards. The dense barrage of arrows fell, each one possessing the power to pierce through plate armor.
With this devastating blow, even the Miracle Legion fell like wheat being harvested.
With Temur's preparation, these arrows were imbued with a complex cloud-like aura.
Even among the soldiers of the Miracle Legion, many were shot and killed due to their poor defenses.
"It's your turn to go on stage!"
Temur seized the opportunity and immediately dispatched the Miracle Legion to attack.
The Mongol Yuan dynasty did not lack miracle legions; in fact, the Mongol Yuan miracle legions were exceptionally large, essentially an upgraded version of the Mongol cavalry—the Kheshig army.
Chi You's charge was abruptly halted by the carefully prepared trap. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Kheshig army launched a counter-charge and, while Chi You was being attacked by a hail of arrows, launched a fierce assault.
The two sides clashed, and the Kheshig army, relying on explosive power, delivered a direct blow to Chi You's head.
For the first time, Chi You discovered that his power was not entirely invincible. Temur assembled all the experts to act alongside the Kheshig army, precisely to completely bury Chi You at this moment.
Chi You roared repeatedly, and dozens of experts, with the help of the Kheshig army and the cloud energy that Temur had specially mobilized, surrounded and killed Chi You's personal guards.
Chi You attempted to break through, but was repelled by the combined efforts of these experts.
Chi You then discovered that various legions were closing in from all directions.
One of the Mongol Yuan legions killed dozens of Miracle Soldiers with just one volley of heavy spears.
"Auxiliary military spirit?" Chi You noticed the existence of the auxiliary military spirit. It was precisely because of this auxiliary military spirit that some three-talent legions had the ability to compete with miracles.
"This lineup is absolutely amazing!"
As everyone sighed in amazement, they suddenly saw the Jiuli army change its formation, charging in waves that directly shattered the Mongol Yuan defenses and penetrated into the Mongol Yuan army to support Chi You.
"I expected this!" Temur's reaction was calm; he knew that Chi You must also have a killer move.
He also prepared a way to counter this deadly move.
Above the horizon, large numbers of dark figures emerged from three directions of Chi You's army.
This was specially prepared by Temur for Chiyou.
The initial encirclement was not meaningless; all the plans came to fruition at this moment.
It was like a battle between the Mongol cavalry and the fierce beast cavalry.
When two surprise forces collide, it immediately transforms into a direct confrontation.
Chi You wanted to concentrate his strength in one direction, unleashing his most powerful swing to directly crush and kill the Mongol Yuan.
Temur's arrangement was like an iron clamp gripping Chi You's elbow, not giving Chi You a chance to throw a punch.
Chi You did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He used his personal strength to forcibly tear open a passage and retreat back to his own army.
Temur frowned repeatedly. Chi You's performance was still too exaggerated. In the case of others, it would have been a situation where they would have no chance of survival, but Chi You still managed to carve out a path.
However, the overall situation was difficult to change, and Temur countered and overcame all of Chi You's arrangements one by one.
A large number of air force units had just emerged when they were wiped out by the Mongol archers.
Temur was not lying; he had devoted a great deal of effort to studying Chi You, and Chi You was completely clear to him.
Even if Chi You's command and control were superior to Temur's, the Mongol Empire behind Temur was simply too vast, so vast that Chi You was unable to resist it.
"I thought there would be a great battle, but it turned out to be such a lousy one!" Han Xin complained.
In his eyes, this was not a war at all; killing a thousand enemies would result in eight hundred casualties on his own. Even if the entire Miracle Legion died, Chi You would not die.
Temur's plan was flawed from the start, so once Chiyou realized what was happening, the Mongol Yuan dynasty would inevitably suffer the most severe consequences.
Such a Pyrrhic victory is of no value whatsoever.
"Return to the heavens, warriors of the Eternal Heaven!"
Temur didn't care about any of that; all he wanted was to completely eliminate Chi You—that was his ultimate goal.
Everything else could be compromised, not only because of the harm caused by Chi You, but also because of the special nature of Chi You's corpse.
They need Chi You.
Therefore, when Temur had the upper hand and casualties were flying, he used another forbidden power.
The banners of the Eternal Heaven fluttered, and the Mongol soldiers who had died on the battlefield transformed into blood shadows and charged towards the Jiuli army.
The already precarious Jiuli army began to crumble under this pincer attack.
But as long as Chi You stood firm, the Jiuli army would not retreat a single step.
The battlefield became a meat grinder, and death became the only theme.
The moment the Jiuli army was cut open, the scales of victory and defeat had already been tipped.
Even though the Jiuli army fought desperately and refused to retreat, their formation began to crumble under the Mongol army.
But the price paid was chilling to the bone.
Zhang Liao and his men's ambush was a great victory, but now, on the battlefield, legion soldiers of the third-talent level are dying in droves.
Everyone knew that even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
But a victory is a victory. (End of Chapter)
