Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

After doing everything he could, Zhuge Liang didn't even go to the gambling match. Instead, he led the First Qimen Legion and the Fifth Yunque Legion back to Rome to begin preparing for matters concerning Rome.

Since there's a portal, the distance between the two places is no longer a problem. If officials from the government office want to report to Zhuge Liang, it's just a matter of walking a few hundred meters more.

When both armies arrived at the designated location.

Guan Yu and the others immediately saw an unexpected scene from the fifth Lark's light and shadow operation imitated by the fourteenth group.

"Yun Chang, something seems amiss. It appears that the enemy is also primarily composed of heavy infantry this time!" Xu Shu whispered to Guan Yu.

"Yes! I see it!" Guan Yu's expression was solemn. This unknown change was obviously beyond their expectations. If that was the case, not bringing the Twelve Thunderbolt Legion would be a mistake.

However, they also have the Fourteenth Combined Legion and the First Qimen Legion led by Wei Yan.

The First Qimen Legion had a full strength of 10,000 men, but due to the Eleven Eagle Flags, it was reduced by half, leaving only 5,000 men on the field.

Soon the light and shadow information was interfered with, and they lost sight of the Mongol camp.

Guan Yu quickly calculated the situation in his mind. He could no longer use his previous strategy. No matter what, if there were more heavy infantry, the enemy would change from an extreme spear force to a more balanced spear and shield force.

If we continue to use the same approach as in the previous simulation, we'll definitely suffer a terrible defeat.

However, Guan Yu was not one to follow the rules blindly, nor was he the kind of person who would be at a loss when unexpected situations arose.

The changes now have simply brought him and the other side back to the same starting line.

"Since the enemy is no longer primarily composed of cavalry and their mobility has decreased, why don't we test the waters first?" Xu Shu suggested.

"Alright!" Guan Yu nodded; that was what he thought too.

"Order Ma Chao's main force to lead the charge and gather information on the enemy!"

While Guan Yu directed Ma Chao to scout ahead, he also began setting up camp. Although he didn't know how the war would unfold, he still made sure everything that needed to be done was done.

Sima Yi used special reconnaissance techniques to follow the perspective of Ma Chao's army, determining the situation of the Mongol camp and the degree of coordination among the various Mongol legions.

The contest began the moment both sides arrived and started setting up their camps.

The two sides are not too far apart. If it were a pure cavalry duel, it would be exceptionally swift. However, if it were heavy infantry, the time it would take for the two sides to start the battle would undoubtedly be much longer.

After Ma Chao's main force circled around the Mongol camp, the Mongol cavalry immediately gave chase and began firing at Ma Chao's main force.

Faced with this situation, Ma Chao simply packed his bags and left.

Normally, he would definitely linger a bit longer to see if he could find an opportunity to deliver a nasty blow to the other side.

After all, the characteristics of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry are what they are; as long as they don't hit any obstacles and their main force doesn't slow down, they can do whatever they want.

The Mongol cavalry were indeed very strong, but as long as he wasn't surrounded, he wasn't afraid at all.

Having witnessed the brutality of the war between the Ming and Mongol dynasties, Ma Chao was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he felt a strong desire to try it out.

However, both Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu repeatedly emphasized that this war must be carried out strictly according to orders, but Ma Chao still chose to obey the military order and retreat directly.

Aoduqi, in the Mongol camp, frowned. Ma Chao was too fast. The Mongol cavalry had just made a flanking maneuver when the Liangzhou cavalry had already accelerated and charged, then retreated at lightning speed.

"The other side reacted very quickly!" Based on the surveillance technique placed on Ma Chao, Sima Yi basically determined the efficiency of the other side's deployment and reaction.

"They won't be so easy to deal with; this battle will be very difficult!" Xu Shu said with a serious expression.

The mere act of mobilizing cavalry to capture Ma Chao was enough for them to sense Aoduchi's swiftness.

"Reconnaissance fluctuations detected!" a technician suddenly shouted.

"Wei Yan, prepare to defend against arrows." Guan Yu decisively gave the order to Wei Yan using his military flag. Although Wei Yan was puzzled, he immediately set up a protective force field.

"The Houtu Legion is building simple city walls to protect its logistics!"

"Benito, deploy the fourteenth combination of light and shadow manipulation to attempt a deflection and misdirection, covering the entire camp!"

One command after another was issued by Guan Yu through both divine will and command flags.

Almost immediately, a large patch of dense dots appeared in the sky, indicating that the enemy's arrow rain suppression had begun.

Just as Guan Yu had predicted, the moment the enemy could detect them, they would immediately launch an attack beyond visual range.

"Changshui Battalion, prepare for counterattack! Three-round volley!"

Guan Yu calmly issued the order to counterattack. The enemy had beyond-visual-range attacks, and so did they.

"Non-will-locked talent, use Zhonglei Camp's talent!"

Xu Shu's spiritual talent was fully activated, instantly breaking through the nature of long-range attacks and providing Wei Yan with the most suitable talent combination to counter it.

Wei Yan, without a second thought, shouted and began to reflect the force field as Xu Shu had suggested. The First Qimen Army fully imitated the elite talents of the Zhonglei Camp, directly raising the protective force field. The Mongol Yuan's long-range attacks, facing the upward force field, caused the enemy's arrows to fly several kilometers further away.

"Peacock has locked onto the enemy's position, Changshui Camp will launch three waves of arrows to cover the area!" Sima Yi also simultaneously locked onto the position of the Mongol archers through the arrow trajectories.

Beyond-visual-range combat is all about reconnaissance and scouting.

Following the order, Changshuiying released his fingertips, and the string rang out like a muffled thunder!

The arrow, carrying a radiant plume, instantly pierced the sky and fell towards the Mongol archers.

This thing is the Changshui Camp's explosive arrow, specifically designed to deal with high-attack, low-defense legions, and to be used in exchanges with other archers.

So far, in terms of archer exchanges, Changshui has never lost to other archers; this thing is just too powerful against lightly armored legions.

However, it was clear that the Mongol Yuan side had also taken countermeasures. The change in the invisible force field caused the arrows of the Changshui Camp to be bounced high up like skipping stones. Relying on the huge cloud of energy accumulated within the arrows, the bounced arrows continued to fly into the distance, bursting into a roar in the distance.

"It seems our ideas actually overlap!" A glint of light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. Since the enemy had amassed heavy infantry, they would inevitably strengthen their ranged firepower and also enhance their defenses against it.

"It's alright, in the end it all comes down to the quality of the soldiers and the command and dispatch, and we have the advantage in that aspect!" Xu Shu squinted as he analyzed all the information he had received from Ma Chao.

"Attack? Or defend?" Sima Yi asked.

"Defend! We have the Houtu Legion. We can build city defenses first and launch a counter-attack while waiting for the enemy to take the initiative!" Xu Shu said without hesitation.

If the enemy is cavalry, this is not a good strategy. However, if the enemy is mostly heavy infantry, holding the position is a viable option.

Guan Yu nodded, and then, seeing another volley of arrows raining down from the sky, he roughly understood the enemy's plan. He immediately ordered the camp to be repaired and fortified. This battlefield was a location chosen by the Ming Dynasty, an almost completely unobstructed plain. Under normal circumstances, building a sturdy camp on such terrain would undoubtedly be wishful thinking.

But Houtu Legion is different; they can directly use the earth to create city defenses.

"What? You're saying they're building a city over there?"

Aoduchi initially thought the scouts had gone mad, but when he witnessed the Houtu Legion building the city, he immediately realized that they couldn't wait any longer.

Once Xinghan has repaired the castle, it will be able to attack or defend at will, and they won't be able to withstand a protracted war.

"What a brilliant move! There's actually such a legion in the world?" Oduchi felt he had broadened his horizons. This Xinghan was indeed extraordinary, to have such a legion.

He had seen legions that controlled the earth before, but he had never seen a legion like the Houtu Legion before.

"Dispatch the Giant Eagle Knights to launch a high-altitude harassment attack!"

Okudochi decisively ordered interference and containment; if the enemy continued to build like this, even skirmishes would turn into sieges.

He didn't want to waste time here with the other side.

"Have the ranged units prepare to lock onto the enemy's will and see what they're made of!" Aoduchi glanced at the Houtu Legion, which was building a city, and ordered the Mongol longbowmen legion to launch a will lock attack against the Houtu Legion.

He could sense that the legion opposite him was not simple; it could distort reality with its will, and was at least a legion with a military spirit.

However, even military spirit legions are divided into different levels, and Aoduchi wanted to see the level of the Houtu legion.

Guan Yu immediately sensed the power of this batch of will-locking arrows, which was in no way weaker than the attack of the Shooting Sound Battalion.

"Wei Yan, prepare to defend against arrows!"

Wei Yan resorted to his old trick, using a force field to lift the arrow and send it flying to another location.

But this time, after the arrows took off, they seemed to have eyes and continued to shoot towards Houtu's army.

Wei Yan immediately realized his mistake and decisively activated a protective field to protect the area where Hou Tu's army was located. However, the protective field could not stop these arrows that concentrated their power into a single point; it only slightly weakened them.

In the next instant, all the soldiers of Houtu's army were covered by a rain of arrows.

"What excellent defensive capabilities!"

Aoduchi's expression was solemn. A volley of arrows fell, and although Houtu's army was not wearing armor, they suffered virtually no damage.

Only some soldiers fell to the ground, but they quickly got up again.

All of this demonstrates that Houtu Legion is not a special legion, but a truly top-tier legion, only its military spirit ability is more unique than that of ordinary legions.

Especially when Houtu's army was hit, the thick layer of earth armor on their bodies provided better protection than regular armor.

There are no weaknesses in either physical or mental aspects, making a direct confrontation almost impossible.

Okutochi had to abandon his idea of ​​launching a strong attack to wipe out the Houtu army and then retreating to resume the standoff.

Killing a military spirit legion that seems to be as tall as the sky would be difficult even if the Miracle Legion were summoned.

The Houtu army was very unhappy after being harassed, but there was nothing they could do but turn around and continue building their camp in a huff.

Guan Yu didn't intend for Hou Tu's army to actually build a castle, since the ultimate goal of this war was to win, not to force the enemy to retreat.

He just wanted to force the other side to take the initiative to attack in this way.

After weighing their options for a long time, Aoduchi decided to take the initiative to attack, as they had no better way to stop Houtu's army.

The only option is to advance with a large army and then use legion attacks to forcibly destroy this still-developing fortress.

If we wait until the cloud cover and temperature develop, then there really won't be any way to control it.

The battlefield is a plain, so even if they want to get materials to make siege weapons, they have to see if Xinghan will agree.

Even when forced into a corner, Okudochi still demonstrated his excellent qualities, turning his helplessness into motivation to take the initiative.

The Mongol army advanced in a dense formation, moving forward slowly but steadily, like a sandstorm rolling across the Gobi Desert.

"They're trying to throw a difficult problem at us!"

Xu Shu understood the true nature of the opponent's move and, by constantly building up his momentum, forced Guan Yu's side to abandon the half-finished castle and take the initiative to attack.

After all, if you wait for the opponent to make the first move and accumulate momentum to the limit, your soldiers will be at a disadvantage when facing the opponent.

"Take the initiative and send troops to interrupt their momentum!"

Guan Yu did not hesitate to take the initiative, for no one understood better than him the importance of interrupting the opponent's charge-up.

Moreover, he has already achieved his goal: as long as the other side makes the first move, the army's formation is basically fixed.

It's like rock-paper-scissors. If you're a second slower to make your move, and your opponent changes their strategy, you're not guaranteed to win, but it's also very difficult to lose.

Now that the Mongol Yuan dynasty is accumulating strength through military formations, it also means that the enemy cannot arbitrarily change their military formations.

After all, even military geniuses like Han Xin and Bai Qi inevitably made mistakes during tactical changes, let alone commanders of large armies.

Having grasped this point, Guan Yu led his troops and all his cavalry in a charge towards the Mongol army like tigers unleashed from their cages.

Aoduchi was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he led all his cavalry to charge over.

Guan Yu led the charge, his imposing presence like a dragon. The serene light emanating from his Green Dragon Crescent Blade sent a chill down the spines of all the soldiers on the opposite side who witnessed this scene.

Without needing further command, Guan Yu's main force, following Guan Yu, charged toward the enemy with unwavering resolve.

Oduchi was extremely excited and charged forward with Guan Yu, ready to fight.

An extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield: the commanders of two armies of 100,000 each were actually engaging in a legion battle.

However, it was not a simple clash between legions.

During their charge, both cavalry units carried the momentum and support of the entire army, displaying a force exceeding that of 100,000 soldiers.

Both sides were full of momentum. Before they even made contact, they were inspired by each other's fierce momentum to climb one limit after another and rush towards heights they had never reached before.

The moment the two sides clashed, a frenzied battle ensued. The elite troops, handpicked by the two great empires, unleashed a terrifying power upon impact. (End of Chapter)
