Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Some are happy, some are sad.

Sun Ce's surprise attack put the Mongol Yuan forces on the defensive.

In particular, Sun Ce's eventual driving of all the soldiers defending the city off the walls caused considerable unrest on the Mongol side's morale.

In a sense, this can be considered as Sun Ce breaching a city.

"How many Floating Guards were lost?" Haridetu asked Tatar, trying to suppress his frustration.

The Floating Pagoda Guards, who were originally meant to deliver the final blow, were kicked to death by the Emperor's Imperial Guards as if they were a stray dog ​​being kicked to death on the roadside.

All these factors combined fully illustrate the dire reality.

"One thousand four hundred and seventy-two members of the Floating Pagoda Guard were killed in action!"

The Floating Guards' poor defensive capabilities meant they had little chance of getting injured; they would either suffer minor injuries or die on the spot.

Having lost nearly half of his men, Tatar felt incredibly distressed, his heart bleeding. These were almost 1,500 three-talent soldiers, who had been brutally beaten by Ma Chao and then by Sun Ce. As a rising star, Tatar was extremely discouraged.

He began to have deep self-doubt. Could he really be such a weakling who couldn't beat anyone?
"The enemy's offensive has never stopped. I'm afraid we can't hold out for long. We just captured this place; the city walls are too weak!"

Haridetu was in a real bind. They had caused so much damage before that the cloud energy inside the city walls had been depleted. Now that it was their turn to defend, this had become a fatal flaw.

"Our scouts have figured out the size of the enemy's forces. Overall, they're about the same size as us. The main problem is those golden illusion warriors, which are too troublesome!"

Tatar took a deep breath, then exhaled a breath of stale air, expelling all the distracting thoughts from his mind, and began to calmly analyze the problem.

"We must find their true form... Otherwise, we'll be dragged down!"

"They're trying to force us out! Going out is exactly what they want!"

Haridetu certainly knew what the problem was, but it was precisely because he knew that he felt a headache coming on.

Tatar stared at the map for a long time before offering a suggestion.

"When they attack the city again, we will send cavalry to circle around the city and attack their siege equipment, disrupting their camp. What do you think of this plan?"

"If we split our forces into two groups, our strength will be too weak!" Haridetu was still hesitating.

“General, we are warriors of the Eternal Heaven, how can we eke out a living in the city!” Tatar’s words struck a nerve with Haridtu’s pride.

"Even if our forces are weak, we are more than capable of defending the city. At worst, we can build up the city walls and retreat into the city. As long as we hold one side of the city wall, that will be enough!"

After hearing Tatar's plan, Haridtu gritted his teeth and agreed to it outright.

After that, things became very simple. Guo Jia commanded his army to attack the city day and night, not seeking to kill or break through the city, but to harass it at a very high frequency.

On the third night, the Mongol soldiers rotated at an increasingly faster pace, and the soldiers were clearly entering a period of fatigue.

The once-stable defensive line was crumbling, and it seemed that with just a little more effort, it could be completely toppled.

Haridetu's defensive capabilities were on full display under pressure.

"If we can't take it down, the losses will already be quite significant."

Sun Ce informed Guo Jia in the early hours of the fourth day that they should be prepared, as their casualties over the past few days had reached an alarming level.

There are almost no lightly wounded soldiers who can return to the battlefield in a short period of time.

It is clear that the enemy has changed its tactical approach. They would rather not kill their soldiers than inflict wounds that cannot heal in a short time, using an unconventional method to drag the enemy down with them.

At least on this battlefield, these wounded soldiers would be sent directly to the rear, which would indeed tie down some of Xinghan's energy.

"As expected, the opponent has adjusted their strategy and adapted to our attack rhythm. We need to change our tactics!"

Guo Jia looked at the casualty report in his hand and said without changing his expression.

He knew beforehand that this city would be difficult to conquer, so from the beginning he only planned to exhaust the enemy and then deliver the final blow when both sides were exhausted.

"They're probably nearing their limit, Meng Qi, we're counting on you this time!"

"Your mission is simple: at all costs, deliver a crushing blow to the enemy cavalry and cripple their ability to provide support!"

Guo Jia slowly spoke to Ma Chao, whose injuries had just healed.

"I understand!" Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Guo Jia felt much more at ease, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried afterward.

Ma Chao has a very heavy task on his shoulders this time.

The opposing team not only has high average quality, but also great resilience. Even when pushed to the brink, they fight back fiercely. Facing such an opponent, any carelessness will lead to huge hidden dangers.

Before dawn, Guo Jia organized a final large-scale siege, but it was repelled by the well-prepared Mongol Yuan forces.

Although only a hundred or so people were lost this time due to the scale of the operation, the fatigue shown by the enemy was far from what he had expected.

Kukutar on the city wall sensed danger. As usual, Xinghan's attack and harassment had ended, and they retreated slowly, disappearing into the darkness before dawn once again. But he felt no joy, only a sense of urgency as a storm was brewing.

Kukutar chose to trust his instincts and quickly began to adjust his defenses, fearing that the enemy would make a comeback.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Such an intense and continuous siege is putting enormous pressure on the soldiers on Xinghan's side.

The soldiers on Xinghan's side also need rest; otherwise, it wouldn't be a strategy to wear down the enemy, but rather a suicidal move to take them down with them.

"The situation is not good. It seems that the other side is starting a large-scale mobilization..." Guo Jia sighed and said to Sun Ce and Ma Chao.

He hadn't slept for two days and two nights, just staring at the battlefield.

"The other side has already seen through your plan?" Sun Ce's face was serious.

In his experience, once the person in charge of the intellectual affairs runs into trouble, they should run away.

"That's alright. I'm using an open strategy. They will definitely come out of the city to fight us. It's just a matter of how many!"

"It's just that the other side made a large-scale mobilization in advance, which put them on guard against us, making it more difficult for us to fight on the front lines!"

"It's alright, I've prepared a good plan today!" Sun Ce laughed. Without Zhou Yu by his side, his almost rusty brain started working again.

"Alright! The final assault will begin in one hour!" Guo Jia nodded upon hearing this.

The fact that the other side is prepared will increase their casualties, but in essence, it will not have a significant impact.

The biggest problem with sieges is that it's impossible to scale the city walls on a large scale, and even after scaling them, you might still face siege.

But once they breach the city walls, both sides are essentially back on equal footing.

"Attack the city!" The thunderous drums resounded, and the Xinghan army surged towards the city walls like a tidal wave.

This time, almost the entire army was mobilized, with no preparations to hold back.

"Tatar, prepare to attack! The enemy has come out in full force; this is a good opportunity for you to break out of the city!"

Haridu, who was inside the city, did not expect Guo Jia to do this. He directly ordered Tatar to lead the Mongol cavalry out of the city. Success or failure depended on this.

"Kukutar, surrender!" Sun Ce shouted to Kukutar from the top of the siege tower.

Kukutar watched Sun Ce from afar, already prepared for a full-scale battle, but unexpectedly the other party started to persuade him to surrender, which made him reveal a mocking expression.

"Surrender?" Kukutar looked at Sun Ce with a mocking expression.

Are you worthy?

"We are warriors of the Eternal Heaven. If you want us to surrender, defeat us first!"

Sun Ce looked at Kukutar with some regret. The battles of the past few days had made him admire Kukutar. He seemed reckless, but in fact, he was shrewd despite his rough exterior.

"Well then, it's time to end this!"

Sun Ce raised his spear, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Look me in the eye!

Sun Ce's aloof expression radiated a divine majesty at this moment, and his domineering aura spread in all directions. Combined with the power of idealism, all things seemed to understand Sun Ce's words.

"I am the sun!"

A dazzling light flashed for a moment, and all the soldiers facing Sun Ce were hit hard in an instant.

Apart from the soldiers of the Jie Fan Army who had closed their eyes early on, all the other soldiers who looked at Sun Ce upon hearing his announcement were subjected to the most direct and blinding light.

All the soldiers felt a stinging pain in their eyes and shed burning tears, an effect akin to staring directly at the blazing sun at midday on the summer solstice.

This is the secret technique developed by Sun Ce, which allows him to completely transform the power over the sun into the brightness of the sun in that instant.

This move directly deprived the soldiers guarding the city of their sight, plunging the entire city wall into turmoil.

Although they were somewhat indiscriminate in their actions, the Yellow Turban warriors and war puppets were completely unaffected and charged directly onto the city walls to begin their assault on the city's defenses.

"Sun Ce, you are despicable!" Kukutar roared angrily. Even he was greatly provoked and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Attack the city!" Sun Ce ignored Kukutar's cries and led the Jie Fan Army to begin scaling the city walls.

Although Sun Ce had only just developed this move and its power was still weak, it could be avoided simply by closing one's eyes.

However, since it was the first time the first-encounter killing ability had been used, it achieved extremely significant results, forcing Kukutar to mobilize the reserve team to alternate the defensive lines.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Xinghan's soldiers charged directly onto the city wall, and the two sides quickly engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

"What a pity. If only I could have increased the output a bit more and blinded these people!" Sun Ce sighed, somewhat regretfully.

If you can truly blind the enemy, even if only temporarily, it's enough to determine the outcome of a war.

"Form ranks and prepare!"

Haridetu took a deep breath and activated the military formation etched within the city, causing a large amount of spiritual energy from all directions to converge into the city.

A milky white glow appeared on the bodies of the Mongol soldiers like a barrier. The Mongol soldiers, whose eyes had been stinging, began to regain their vision quickly and then joined the battle.

He hasn't been idle these days. He's set up a huge military formation in the city. It doesn't have any other special effects; it's just for restoring health and is his response to the strategy of exhausting the enemy.

"..."

Guo Jia wasn't too surprised. If someone really thought that the Mongol Yuan dynasty had no countermeasures, then they would truly be courting death.

He never expected his ingenious plan to work, as his opponents were also the elite of an empire, or even an empire that surpassed theirs.

Therefore, Guo Jia never underestimated his opponents and always employed open strategies from beginning to end.

Golden light shone on the Jie Fan Army, and all the soldiers felt Sun Ce's conviction. Their willpower began to interfere with reality. Even though the difficulty of interfering with reality was greatly increased under the clouds, the Army Soul Legion was still able to interfere with reality!

No matter how quickly the Mongol soldiers recovered, they ultimately gave Sun Ce the opportunity to be the first to scale the walls, and the two sides engaged in fierce fighting on the city walls.

The milky white and golden light shone brightly on the city wall, neither willing to be overshadowed by the other.

"Boom!"

The sound of galloping horses rose from the west, and Guo Jia's face turned solemn.

Because it was an open strategy, Guo Jia didn't actually have a guaranteed victory.

If Ma Chao cannot defeat or hold off the opposing cavalry, they will suffer a crushing defeat.

Ma Chao and Tatar saw each other almost at the same time, and both instantly understood each other's intentions.

Without wasting any words, Ma Chao launched a direct charge at the enemy.

The massive wedge formation swept towards the Mongol cavalry.

Instead of engaging in direct combat, Tatar broke into smaller units and evaded to the sides, allowing Ma Chao and the Mongol cavalry behind him to maneuver and collide, while he himself rushed towards Zhang Xiu's main force behind him.

Tatar knew very well how powerful Ma Chao's main force was when they charged, so he had no intention of fighting Ma Chao to the death. Instead, he simply handed Ma Chao over to the Mongol cavalry behind him and led his three-talented Mongol cavalry to attack Zhang Xiu's main force.

Compared to Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu's main force, without a commander, was clearly an easy target.

The two sides passed each other, leaving hundreds of corpses lying on the ground.

For cavalry, this kind of flanking charge is undoubtedly the most terrifying engagement; a moment's carelessness can lead to instant death.

Tatar glanced back at his own losses and charged directly towards Guo Jia's direction.

"You stay here and hold them off, the Liangzhou cavalry will come with me!"

Upon seeing this, Ma Chao's expression changed, and he immediately chased after Tatar at full speed.

He did not forget the task Guo Jia had given him: to hold off the enemy cavalry at all costs.

Tatar completely ignored Ma Chao, leading his Mongol cavalry in an S-shaped, serpentine pattern to shake off the Liangzhou cavalry's pursuit as much as possible, and resolutely charged towards Guo Jia's location.

Both sides were well aware of their true objectives. For the Mongol Yuan side, disrupting the rear of the Xinghan army was far more important than annihilating a three-talent legion. (End of Chapter)
