Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Guo Jia heard the clamor of horses' hooves in the distance and frowned.

Ma Chao couldn't stop the opponent, but fortunately he had a backup plan, but there were still some hidden dangers.

However, it's still under control. The enemy arrived so quickly that they couldn't have defeated Ma Chao; they could only have sacrificed themselves to buy time.

Is this actually a good thing for them?
Before that, he had to withstand the enemy's charge.

"Form ranks and prepare to resist the cavalry charge!"

Guo Jia immediately ordered the soldiers in the camp to form a battle formation, and then used specially reinforced supply wagons to create a wagon-shaped formation.

Knowing that the enemy might send cavalry out of the city, Guo Jia prepared this special military formation to suppress cavalry well in advance.

The two military formations nested together, perfectly resembling a single military formation.

"The brain has still suffered damage and can no longer function at its full capacity!"

Guo Jia rubbed his temples. He had originally wanted to create a three-in-one Xuanxiang Army Formation, but he found that the mental effort required for a three-in-one formation was too much for him, so he had to settle for a less desirable option.

"Forget it, the two-in-one is enough!"

"A mere three-talent legion can't break through!"

Guo Jia shook his head, as if he could shake off the pain.

"Strategist Guo, are you alright?"

Zhang Liang, who was adjusting the defense line according to Guo Jia's orders, walked towards Guo Jia and cast a calming spell into Guo Jia's body.

Guo Jia immediately felt his mind clear and felt much better.

"Give me a few more hits!" Guo Jia stared at Zhang Liang with shining eyes.

"This superposition isn't very effective!" Zhang Liang raised his hand and unleashed a few attacks. Guo Jia realized that what Zhang Liang said was true and was immediately disappointed.

"Strategist, why don't you retreat first? I'll hold them off here!"

"The cavalry is coming. Where can I run? This is the safest place on this battlefield right now!" Guo Jia said with an enigmatic smile.

“Uh…” Zhang Liang wasn’t sure if Guo Jia was joking, after all, they had a divine steed in their camp. Not to mention the Mongol cavalry, even a white horse couldn’t outrun the divine steed.

"Don't worry, with these three hundred Yuanzhu Emperor Guards here, the defense is as solid as a rock!" Guo Jia waved his hand, and before leaving, Zhuge Liang removed five hundred Yuanzhu Emperor Guards from his body.

Moreover, it is the top-tier, fully-equipped version, known as a being capable of taking on three Imperial Guards. Apart from not emitting light, it seems to be no different from the Miracle Legion.

Huang Tianji has always believed that miracles are an unreasonable path and has been dedicated to researching how to defeat miracles through normalization.

The top-tier, fully-equipped Original Forged Emperor's Guard possesses true mecha, which is entirely different from armor.

It was created by Huang Tianji by extracting the essence and spirit of people who were serving in labor reform, combined with the simple ink spirit of the Mo family.

Each mech needs to be nurtured and imbued with spiritual energy by the original Emperor's guards, and they even need to personally modify and improve its adaptability to ultimately achieve a state of perfect harmony between man and machine.

It can achieve super-strong power even under clouds.

The only drawback is that, in its full-power burst state, it can only sustain combat for half an hour. After the power diminishes, it requires more effort to operate.

However, in his full-power burst state, he can use the power of starlight to send the First Yellow Heaven soldier flying with a single punch, while also being able to withstand a full-power attack from the First Yellow Heaven without taking any damage.

Within the Star River region, it can be considered to have the highest combat power, comparable to the heavens, but its production is terrifyingly low, taking several years to gather a 10,000-strong squad.

To some extent, this thing is an extremely expensive contraption created by the combined efforts of many outstanding figures from various schools of thought, such as Huang Tianji, Mu Yi, Yan Hui, Zhang Zhongjing, Wang Baobao, and Xuan Yuan Immortal Master, using a massive amount of resources.

It can almost be described as a walking gold mine, its significance being to verify the upper limit of its height, which is the same as the sky.

From the inside out, it can be said to be something entirely built up with resources and money.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, it's absolutely terrible. With the same resources, you could probably train ten Imperial Guards.

The Imperial Guards are a product of resource conversion. The resources required to train an Imperial Guard are about five times that of a three-talented guard of the same level. The only advantage is that they can be trained reliably.

"I know that. What I want to ask is, can I really command a military formation of this size?" Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment before asking his question, since the formation looked very complicated.

He only knew how to use the Xuanxiang Army Formation, but not why. Learning it relied too much on aptitude, and his talent wasn't particularly good. He focused more on Taoist arts, so he wasn't exactly an outstanding general.

"Hmm, that is a problem, but I probably won't need to give any orders," Guo Jia said with a smile, looking quite confident.

"Don't worry, I'll assist you in commanding."

"Alright then." Zhang Liang nodded upon hearing this. Although he didn't know what the so-called auxiliary command was, he was still willing to trust Guo Jia.

He was one of the veterans who joined when they first started in Qingzhou, and he knew Guo Jia's abilities very well. Moreover, Guo Jia was now the commander in name only, and obeying orders was a quality that any excellent general should possess.

"Go and make preparations. They should be here soon. The Three Heavens Mongol cavalry is divided into light and heavy cavalry, which can be seen as a combination of wolf cavalry and iron cavalry," Guo Jia said thoughtfully.

"If a real fight breaks out, we will still face some pressure!"

Guo Jia underestimated the enemy strategically, but took them extremely seriously tactically.

Since the other side dared to leave the city, they must have something to rely on, otherwise they wouldn't have risked losses to quickly bypass Ma Chao and attack him directly.

"Don't deploy the Illusionary Warrior version of the Yellow Turban Warrior recklessly. Follow my orders!" Guo Jia emphasized, indicating that regardless of whether the enemy was prepared or not, he had to be prepared for the worst.

"Yes! I'll go and make the arrangements right away!" Zhang Liang nodded and said.

"This time, the Mongol army that came was almost entirely composed of the Imperial Guards. To be honest, in terms of raw strength, we are still somewhat lacking..." Guo Jia said with a sigh.

This is also Guo Jia's biggest headache. The main forces led by Ma Chao, Sun Ce, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang can have some advantages in the face of the Mongol Yuan. Apart from that, Zhang Xiu's main force is only half a force. The other legions only have the strength of dual talents and are completely at a disadvantage.

War puppets and illusion soldiers are even worse; they can only be used as cannon fodder.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang remained calm and, after a moment, acknowledged the fact that there was indeed a gap; the Mongol Yuan dynasty was far superior.

This difference is not an isolated case; it is likely something that manifests on all battlefields.

Zhang Liang actually understood the level of skill required for the elite troops of a vast empire.

After all, there is a prevailing view in Xinghan that the standards for the regular army should be raised to the level of the Imperial Guard.

"Have you set up all the roadblocks and barricades I asked you to?" Guo Jia's expression turned serious as he saw the approaching Mongol elites through a secret technique.

“It’s all set up, but this kind of thing probably won’t be of much use to the Three Talents Legion, right?” Zhang Liang said with some concern.

"Don't worry, this thing is just to hold us back!" Guo Jia reassured Zhang Liang. "I see!" Zhang Liang's mind raced, and he instantly understood what Guo Jia meant by assisting him in command.

If there are roadblocks, it will be easier to move soldiers and adjust their formation, since the road is fixed and you only need to consider the left and right sides and the distance.

"Go and prepare! There's less than a quarter of an hour left!" Guo Jia squinted at the distance.

"It's stronger than I expected!"

Guo Jia could already feel the overwhelming momentum of the opposing cavalry; their overwhelming force seemed capable of destroying everything.

Rubbing his temples, Zhang Liang felt that the talisman was quite effective. His mind was noticeably clearer than usual, and his body was more invigorated than at other times.

"This saves me the trouble of taking medicine!" Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything that needed to be done has been done; now it's up to the soldiers to fight and give their lives.

"This is my first battle after recovering, I can't afford to lose!" Guo Jia thought, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

He cannot fail, nor will he allow himself to fail.

"Your Majesty, please bless me!"

After Guo Jia finished praying, he stood on the chariot formation and looked into the distance. The scouts with excellent eyesight had already spotted the approaching Mongol cavalry and the pursuing Ma Chao army.

"Beat the drums, prepare for battle."

The moment he received the scout's message, Guo Jia forcibly calmed all his distracting thoughts and, in the most rational and composed state, gave the order to the drummer beside him.

His victory or defeat will determine the outcome of this battle.

Accompanied by the resounding drumbeats that echoed for miles, the soldiers who had been waiting quietly all went into a state of alert. They were soldiers who had taken turns resting after the attack on the city last night, and now they had fully recovered and were waiting attentively for the arrival of the cavalry.

Everyone knew that this was going to be a major battle.

Tatar looked at the distant camp, a cold smile creeping across his lips. The closer he got, the more he understood the importance of the upcoming battle.

Looking at the camp in the distance, which seemed to have come alive, Tatar's expression turned serious.

Success or failure hinges on this!
Behind Tatar were the Liangzhou cavalry led by Ma Chao. Tatar and his Mongol cavalry made the most of the Mongol cavalry's speed and difficulty in turning around.

The Liangzhou cavalry's straightforward charges posed little threat to the Mongol cavalry; instead, they were outmaneuvered by the Mongol cavalry like dogs on a leash.

Seeing the outline of the camp appear ahead, Ma Chao became a little anxious.

He was not afraid to engage the Mongol cavalry in direct combat, even though close combat was the comfort zone of these all-around cavalrymen.

Ma Chao had confidence in the Liangzhou cavalry; they were not afraid of any legion.

For Ma Chao, the Mongol cavalry were opponents he had already defeated, so he felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.

What he feared was that the camp would be completely overrun by the enemy in one fell swoop.

Although he had confidence in Guo Jia, Ma Chao was still afraid of this scenario happening.

"General, the drumbeats seem to be conveying intelligence!" A scout noticed the unusual nature of the drumbeats.

Ma Chao took a deep breath, listened to the message conveyed by the drumbeats, and immediately understood Guo Jia's meaning.

"Speed ​​up, catch up, get ahead of them, cut off their charge!"

Ma Chao decisively created an opening, giving the illusion that he wanted to stop the Tatars and the Mongol cavalry at all costs.

The Mongol cavalry were instructed to request instructions regarding the camp's defenses before launching a direct assault.

Normally, people would place rotating troops in the rear, but Guo Jia did the opposite. He sent soldiers who hadn't rested for long to attack the city. Although their condition might be affected, he broke with convention and gained three points.

As the drumbeats abruptly stopped, Tatar arrived at the camp.

Ma Chao's desperate charge was cleverly evaded by him using a turnback, and then he took a deep breath and chose to charge again.

Attacking the enemy camp is not a good option, but given the current situation, Tatar must attack it, even at the cost of some losses, he must take down the enemy today.

In the brief moment they brushed past each other in front of the camp, Guo Jia and Ma Chao established a communication channel.

"How is the situation?"

"What's going on?" Ma Chao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What is the scale of the enemy's battle outside the city? Approximately how many people are involved?" Guo Jia asked directly.

"A little over ten thousand. The rest of the cavalry are engaged with Zhang Xiu's main force in the rear. Our first wave of attack suffered no losses!"

"Oh!" Guo Jia nodded. This would greatly reduce the pressure on Sun Ce's side. Guo Jia immediately ordered someone to inform Sun Ce so that he could confidently engage in street fighting, as the opposing side had very few soldiers left to defend the city.

"What do we do next?" Ma Chao asked, a little anxious as he watched the Mongol cavalry pass by.

"Once I hold them off, you can flank them from behind and charge in, wiping them out in one fell swoop!" Guo Jia felt much more at ease, and the overall plan was still progressing smoothly.

Although some unexpected situations arose, the overall situation was still acceptable.

After all, Sun Ce's side was doing very well and was about to break into the city.

"Be careful not to go directly into the camp. The camp I set up is a deadly formation that has a strong suppressive effect on cavalry. I don't have the energy to adjust the distinction between friend and foe!" Guo Jia gave Ma Chao some instructions.

"..." Ma Chao was a little stunned. What kind of operation was this?

"A death formation? Can it hold?" Ma Chao was a little worried. A death formation would collapse as soon as one of its command nodes was destroyed.

He was worried that if Guo Jia's side failed, he wouldn't be able to provide any assistance.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I've set up some things in the formation, and I'll use my mental power to forcibly fix the formation when the time comes!"

"Get ready and launch your attack at the most opportune moment. You only have one chance. If you let them get away, you'll never catch them again."

Guo Jia gave a brief explanation.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Ma Chao cut off communications and began adjusting the cloud formation of his army, bestowing the most suitable cloud aura upon his soldiers for the charge.

At this moment, the Mongol cavalry began to glow with various enhancement effects, clearly indicating that they had come prepared, and a great battle was imminent. (End of Chapter)
