Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1050 Zhu Di Breaks Through the Double Army

While Zhu Di led his army to rampage through the camp, two Mongol military geniuses crouched in the shadows, observing him.

“Something seems amiss. Shall we go or should we go?” Urshu frowned. In his opinion, it was not a wise move for Zhu Di to personally lead a large army to raid their camp.

He worried that there might be some other ulterior motive involved.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. You may not know Zhu Di as a person. He was just that confident.”

"Even if we both step in, he will only want to capture and kill us in one fell swoop. What's worse, he has the ability to do just that!"

Temur thought it was normal. This wasn't the first time the Mongol Yuan Dynasty had dealt with Zhu Di. As a hawk, Zhu Di had spared no effort in launching wars against the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

He was a truly ruthless person who genuinely believed he could destroy the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

He deliberately sent three waves of people to their deaths in order to lure Zhu Di to this battlefield, which he had chosen, to fight.

Now that the other party has arrived, whatever their motives may be, they have no choice but to step forward.

“I still need to make some arrangements, you do it!” Temur shook his head, relinquishing command and letting Urshu take charge.

This was also an order given to him from the rear, as they were worried about Urshu and wanted to test Urshu's true strength through a war.

“Alright!” Urshu knew this was a test for him, but he didn’t care; it was an opportunity for him.

The Mongol vanguard was essentially a expendable force, so Urchu paid no heed to the unrest there and mobilized his troops to launch an attack from the central camp.

Zhu Di fought very aggressively, completely disregarding the Mongol troops.

The elite cavalry of Yanshan Guards pushed straight through the front camp and launched a surprise attack towards the central command tent.

The heavy infantry battalion of Yanshan advanced slowly on both flanks, relentlessly annihilating the remaining soldiers in the front camp.

The Mongol cavalry charged out head-on and ran head-on with the elite cavalry of the Yanshan Guard.

"Fire!" Both sides made the same choice without prior agreement, instead of turning and charging head-on to exchange fire, they mounted archers and circled around to the flanks.

Both sides were elite warriors skilled in archery and horsemanship, and arrows rained down upon them, but very few fell from their horses.

"Hmph!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Di immediately deployed his troops, intending to use the momentum of breaking through the vanguard camp to crush the entire Mongol camp in one fell swoop.

"The Five Armies advance, the Divine Machine Battalion provides cover and suppression, and the Three Thousand Battalion makes a flanking maneuver from the outside of the camp."

The army moved in an orderly manner under Zhu Di's command.

The heavy infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion, carrying large shields, advanced rapidly. Arrows shot by the Mongol cavalry rained down on them, making a series of cracking sounds for a long time, but they failed to kill a single one.

Both of these heavy infantry's talents are defensive in nature. With their steel bodies and heavy armor, it would be difficult for any legion, except for one like the Twelve Thunderbolts, to break through their defenses.

Even the attack of willpower is the same. After all, the soldiers of these five battalions are all veterans with strong willpower. As long as they concentrate, the arrow of willpower can only cause harassment.

The Shenji Battalion followed behind the Fifth Army Battalion in three rows, taking turns firing their bows to suppress and cover the enemy.

The Shenji Battalion's talent framework is charge-up + shockwave, which doesn't have much offensive power, but its control effect is top-notch.

The three-row, alternating charged-fire technique can create a huge shockwave effect within the area, disrupting the opponent's formation and increasing the probability of breaking through.

The heavy infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion collided head-on with the Mongol infantry, sending hundreds of men flying backward instantly. They then got up and continued to fight.

The shockwave riflemen following behind relentlessly pounded the battle lines, relentlessly attacking the heavy infantry.

Relying on the length of their spears, they channeled all their power into the spearhead. As soon as it struck their opponent, the power would instantly flow into their body, causing their internal organs to tremble and die.

The rather rigid tactics of combining shield infantry and spearmen in advancing were a complete copy of the Macedonian phalanx.

Meanwhile, the Shenji Battalion and the Yanshan Elite Cavalry protected the rear of the Fifth Army Battalion, ensuring the effectiveness of the frontal advance.

Urshu's cavalry attempted to outflank Zhu Di from both flanks, but they were fiercely intercepted and blocked by the cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalion.

The Mongol army's response made Zhu Di sense a dangerous atmosphere, after all, the Ming Dynasty's unstoppable momentum was beginning to crumble.

Just like using softness to overcome hardness, the Ming army, with its sharp and vigorous soldiers, began to languish under wave after wave of attrition.

Once they could no longer advance, the advantages of the camp became apparent.

Urshu had his ballistae moved to one side of the camp and unleashed a barrage of fire at the Ming army's square formation.

The arrows, as thick as javelins, were so powerful that even the heavy infantry of the Fifth Army could not withstand them, piercing through both the men and their shields.

The war continued, and the morale of Zhu Di's army had completely collapsed, with Urchu gaining a near-total advantage.

Zhu Di's attack on the Mongol camp was itself fueled by the arrogance inspired by Temur's deliberate act of sacrificing himself.

Now that Urshu has the advantage, Zhu Di is in a semi-encircled state due to the ancient nature of his troops. Even if he sends the 3,000 battalions and other legions to defend the rear, he still cannot stop the Mongol elite cavalry from flanking him.

Zhu Di felt a headache coming on. He had demonstrated astonishing ability to suppress and judge the situation, but the balance of power in the war was not tilting in his favor.

The fighting power of the hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops actually gave them an advantage on all fronts, but the Mongol Yuan forces were larger and of greater scale.

Even with Zhu Di's astonishing ability to suppress, there was no way for him to infiltrate.

This left Zhu Di feeling helpless. Even though he recognized this fact early on, he still couldn't truly break through the enemy's lines even when he had the upper hand on all fronts.

Zhu Di then realized that the opponent's skill level was definitely no match for his.

Under these circumstances, it would be difficult for him to achieve much by continuing his relentless attacks.

But the Mongol Yuan dynasty's scheme didn't stop there. They deliberately provoked Zhu Di's arrogance, urging him to launch a fierce attack, and then used organized army units to hold him back.

A well-organized legion always possesses the capability to fight.

Urshu's tactics were simple and effective: he used organized legions to set up a scattered formation, creating numerous obstacles in batches to wear down Zhu Di's momentum, and then devised a way to defend and counterattack.

In this situation, if Zhu Di wanted to win, he could only choose the most difficult option: to defeat the enemy head-on, using overwhelming combat power to crush them and cause their collapse.

But Zhu Di couldn't do that; a military genius isn't something you can just pick up anywhere.

There are different levels among the military gods, but even the weakest military god would not be able to determine a winner in a very short time when facing the most powerful one.

It's normal for there to be differences between those who have reached the level of a military genius, but the gap won't widen indefinitely.

After all, there are limits to the numerical values. Even someone like Sun Tzu, who has reached the command limit, has an advantage over other military geniuses, but he can't achieve a complete rout. Unless there is a huge gap between the officers and soldiers commanded by both sides, theoretically, even if the battle goes very well, it can drag on until both sides are exhausted. This is because losses occur on both sides, and the resulting morale issues will eventually wear them down, leading them to abandon the decisive battle.

But wars never unfold according to theory.

This is also the drawback of all sparring simulations, because the soldiers they lead are all dead, while in reality, the soldiers they lead are not static.

Many soldiers will break through on the battlefield, and how to ensure that more advanced soldiers survive is what top commanders must do.

Ulshu excels at this, constantly mobilizing troops back to the rear to ensure the front lines always maintain peak combat strength.

The already precarious battle lines became even more stable under these circumstances, since Urshu and his men had camps to rely on, while Zhu Di's side was completely unable to rest.

Zhu Di began to consider retreating, but there was no way to break through Urshu's impenetrable defenses.

The outer semi-encirclement is almost complete, and they can't afford to delay any longer.

"Chase them down and launch a full-scale counterattack!"

Urshu was overjoyed. Chasing and killing was the easiest way to win, and taking a few more bites off the enemy's body would be a great achievement.

"I'll lead my troops to flank them from the side. Even if we can't take down their war god directly, we'll teach him a lesson this time!"

Temur excitedly directed the Mongol cavalry to begin a flanking maneuver from the flank.

It's very difficult to catch up with cavalry if they want to leave, but it's not so easy for infantry to retreat.

They either had to retreat in disarray, or they would become expendable pawns surrounded by them.
Having failed to suppress the attack, Zhu Di decisively dispatched his most powerful force, the Fengtian Guard.

This legion was the most powerful legion under Zhu Di's command, possessing three innate qualities and the ability to attack and defend based on psychological principles. It was a true miracle legion.

The Miracle Legion's outburst was terrifying, directly crushing everything in its path. Faced with this pure, overwhelming attack, the Mongol Yuan lines were virtually helpless, collapsing at a visible pace.

But Zhu Di showed no joy on his face. He knew very well that if the Miracle Legion could not serve as a decisive blow, then it would inevitably be countered by the enemy.

For the God of War, the Miracle Legion was not an insurmountable opponent; they just needed some time.

Ulshu's preparations involved the advance of a large-scale gun formation.

The densely packed spear formation met the Miracle Legion in the most rigid posture, and arrows from both sides rained down like a torrential downpour.

The overwhelming speed of the Fengtian Guard's crushing advance quickly declined, and even their full-force burst of attacks was somewhat desperate in the face of the dense forest of gunfire.

Even if they unleash their full power, the fact that a group of people on the other side are simultaneously parrying makes Fengtian Guard very worried.

This method is almost the best way to suppress miracles: use sheer numbers and lives to create them.

Even though the Fengtian Guards could inflict considerable damage, they were unable to advance an inch against the relentless barrage of gunfire.

Urshu projected the will of the rear army onto these spears, and even the Miracle Transformation could not easily suppress it.

Zhu Di ordered a retreat. The reason for letting the Miracle Legion launch a counterattack was to make the enemy hesitant to act.

However, Zhu Di did not expect that before they could completely leave, Urshu took the initiative to abandon the advantage of the camp and rushed out to bite them and tear off a piece of flesh.

Urshu's choice was not wrong. After all, Temur's army was encircling them from the rear. By paying some price to hold off Zhu Di's army, they might be able to annihilate the enemy.

In that instant, Zhu Di saw hope.

"Kill with me!"

At this moment, Zhu Di brought to the extreme the ability to act swiftly and decisively, to strike late but arrive first, to separate and reunite from their homeland, to be unpredictable and to subdue the enemy with lightning speed.

He led the Miracle Legion like a dragon making a surprise attack, easily penetrating all of Urshu's weaknesses.

Temur was stunned. He never expected that Urshu would fall ill with such a serious disease at this time.

Your idea of ​​targeting Zhu Di from both sides is indeed sound, and under normal circumstances, pursuing and attacking him is also feasible.

But Zhu Di had a miraculous army under his command, so he had to be treated with some respect.

The Miracle Legion on the Mongol side, under Temur's command, was also a deadly move prepared to intercept Zhu Di.

However, Urshu made the worst choice under these circumstances, turning the defensive formation meant for attrition into an offensive one.

For Zhu Di, Urshu had already left the gate wide open.

Tens of thousands of elite troops followed behind Zhu Di, quickly weaving through the chaotic battle lines and carving out a path through the central army's position at Wuerchu.

The moment Zhu Di launched his counterattack, Wuershu realized that he had made a mistake.

He gave up on mobilizing other legions, but it was too late. The moment Zhu Di launched his counterattack, Zhu Di's army turned around and began a fierce attack, directly blocking Urshu's movements.

No matter which part of the battle line is withdrawn, it will cause the battle line to collapse.

"You want to kill me?" Urshu revealed a sinister smile.

He was occupying Chi You's broken body back then, but it has long since been repaired.

Furthermore, Urshu himself was a powerful divine cultivator; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to be reborn.

However, Ulshu discovered that Zhu Di did not attack him at all, but instead broke through his flank, throwing his formation into chaos.

With the battle lines completely collapsed, Urchu had lost all ability to resist Zhu Di and could only retreat while gathering his troops, intending to regroup and launch a counterattack.

However, before Urshu could even prepare, Zhu Di led the Miracle Legion in a surprise attack, completely shattering the rout.

Temur, in his haste to catch up and lock down Zhu Di, was evaded by Zhu Di's counterattack, resulting in them being blocked by their own men.

Temur's biggest weakness was his inability to control a battlefield of a large enough scale, which led to misjudgments and allowed Zhu Di to lead him behind his own teammates.

Zhu Di also firmly suppressed the battle lines, preventing Temur from launching any attacks.

Zhu Di made several trips, then turned around and led his army to flee.

He knew very well that while this back-and-forth movement was indeed very cool, he would be the one in trouble once the chaos was quelled by the two military geniuses working together. (End of Chapter)
