Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"The other side went to such great lengths just to save a cavalry legion of the Imperial Guard level?" Feng Yi was still not quite sure what he was seeing.

"Perhaps it's because that person's identity is unusual?" Li Jiao guessed uncertainly.

"Regardless of the circumstances, the enemy's losses will definitely not be replenished in a short time, which is absolutely a good thing for us!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi nodded. They had successfully defused the probing attempts made by the other side over the past two days.

While they did reveal their ability to be enhanced by multiple illusions, Xinghan also demonstrated the ultimate burst of power from the vanguard.

More importantly, although the initial burst of firepower was terrifying, it was mostly absorbed by the illusionary soldiers.

If this were to happen to their large army, the blow to morale would be far too severe.

"Never mind that for now, starting tomorrow, intensify the siege!"

"Now that we've revealed our multiple trump cards, let's intensify our offensive and put more pressure on the other side."

Feng Yi changed the subject and began to plan the next battle.

"Should we ask General Zhou for instructions?" Li Jiao asked after a moment's hesitation.

"General Zhou is a national treasure; there's no need to bother him over such a trivial matter." Feng Yi ignored Li Jiao's suggestion.

He is the true commander of this army; Zhou Yafu is merely here to provide backup. If we rely entirely on the other side simply because he is a military genius, we risk forcing the opposing military genius to reveal himself as well.

Even if the two war gods are the commander of a large legion and the miracle legion, they are likely to face considerable danger in their battle.

After all, what they have, the other side also has.

Feng Yi didn't want to take that risk. Besides, the Great Han Empire was a parliamentary system that jointly respected the Three Sovereigns. They came from three different great worlds, but because they shared a common lineage, they were able to integrate with each other.

Feng Yi was from the lineage of Emperor Guangwu, while Zhou Yafu was from the lineage of Emperor Wu of Han. They couldn't be said to be at odds, but they were definitely not close either.

Liu Zhi's defeat had a significant impact on the lineage of Emperor Guangwu, so Feng Yi wanted to use their own abilities to turn the tide.

On the other side, Lü Meng had already begun a general mobilization before the decisive battle. For him, the probing in the previous two days had completely achieved its purpose.

The vanguard was merely a smokescreen he used to mislead the enemy; after all, the real main force against the illusionary soldiers was the hidden Changshui Camp.

Compared to the Changshui Camp, the Vanguard Camp was actually inferior.

However, Lü Meng did not care. The vanguard was indeed a good card, which could have caused more casualties than the current thousand or so spearmen and shieldmen.

The number of kills was less than the number of spearmen and shieldmen crushed by Zhang He's heavy cavalry in their first charge.

But as long as you can confuse the opponent, you have already delivered more value than you deserve.

The outcome of a large-scale military operation never depends on one or two corps, but on the overall coordination.

While the Changshui Camp was indeed a sharp sword they had prepared, the Zhang He Legion, Zhou Tai Legion, and Gao Lan Legion were all powerful weapons to defeat the enemy.

By the early morning of the third day, the soldiers in the city had a rare good rest because of the first wave of attacks on the second day.

This made Sun Tzu look at Lü Meng with new respect; this clever psychological maneuver certainly increased his chances of winning.

"All units, proceed with the attack as planned and proceed to attack the enemy camp!" Lu Meng shouted the order with a hint of excitement.

This was the result of his long-term planning.

"Yes!" all the officers and soldiers answered loudly, and the morale of the Qingyang soldiers who had just finished training naturally rose at this moment.

"Attack!" Lü Meng shouted the order.

With Lü Meng's command, the city gates burst open, and the Han generals and officers in the camp outside the city were awakened by scouts.

"They actually came again?" Feng Yi frowned. Yan Liang and Wen Chou's previous night raid had been easily repelled by them, but he didn't expect the other side to dare to come again.

"Report, Marshal, a large number of troops have emerged from the opposite city gate, and it seems they have begun a general offensive!" The scout team quickly relayed the intelligence to Feng Yi.

"All units, proceed with the engagement as previously planned!"

"The other side actually launched an attack at a time like this!"

Feng Yi had a bad feeling, but still took the safest approach.

"Switch the camera to me, I want to make my own judgment!"

The scene near the city was instantly projected in front of Feng Yi, before he could even clearly see the army pouring out of the city.

The next instant, a sun flew from the city into the sky and began to shine brightly, its dazzling radiance enveloping everything.

The light and shadow in front of Feng Yi instantly turned into a mosaic, making it impossible to see what was happening.

"This tactic really looks like a full-scale offensive!"

Feng Yi remained unmoved by this turn of events, immediately boarding the command tower and surveying the battlefield by the light of the sun overhead.

What was most conspicuous in his eyes was a legion of heavy infantry approaching them.

"Use heavy infantry as the vanguard!" Feng Yi didn't know why the other side had made this arrangement, but he was certain that it was not a reckless move.

"Forward!" Zhou Tai led his troops ahead towards the Han camp.

As the vanguard of the army, Zhou Tai displayed a spirit of courage and determination, completely disregarding the kind of attacks his side might suffer.

It was like the head of an iron hammer, smashing fiercely towards the big man.

The five thousand-plus illusionary soldiers descended naturally from the sky, like cushions, intending to snipe Zhou Tai from the front.

Ju Yi waved his hand, and the vanguard soldiers, now devoid of military spirit, raised their crossbows and riddled most of the illusory warriors who hadn't yet fallen with bullets.

A look of joy appeared on Feng Yi's face. Their previous guess was correct; the Vanguard Death Squad had indeed lost the power to unleash their full potential.

"With multiple buffs, keep ramming them! Those who want to attack our camp, this time, stop them all!"

Feng Yi's roar rang out, and the entire camp instantly became lively.

The soldiers, awakened in the middle of the night, roared with rage and controlled their phantom warriors to charge towards Zhou Tai.

At the same time, a large number of arrows rained down from the sky, heading towards Zhou Tai's main force.

Many soldiers were riddled with arrows, but once the wounded had the arrows removed, they were back on the battlefield full of energy.

After sacrificing the lives of thousands of illusionary warriors, the Han side finally realized how troublesome Zhou Tai was. His near-immortality allowed him to withstand all attacks, and through his vanguard strategy, he wiped out a large number of illusionary warriors.

"The power of the Illusion Arrow is a bit too strong. We can't hold out for long like this!" Zhou Tai thought to himself, staring intently at the Illusion Warriors opposite him.

The battle between the two sides was dull and tedious, relying on their own unique abilities to forcibly engage in absurd maneuvers of exchanging lives for injuries. It was devoid of any aesthetic appeal, but exceptionally cruel.

Almost every soldier under Zhou Tai had faced death multiple times, yet they still managed to resist death through sheer willpower, advancing without hindrance by relying on their ability to remain immortal.

"This kind of legion is a bit difficult to kill?" Feng Yi observed the soldiers of Zhou Tai's legion.

Even an ordinary soldier could survive being pierced through the heart or had his throat slit, and even with a dozen or so transparent holes in his body, he would show no signs of illness.

Furthermore, because Zhou Tai used the Absorption Formation, he could recover from his injuries every time he killed an illusionary soldier. The two combined to create a group of undead monsters.

No matter how hard the Illusion Warriors tried to force the ox to drink water, they couldn't drown Zhou Tai's undead soldiers. These legions, which had absorbed all the essence of the Parthian Undead Guards, had almost maxed out their ability to survive on the battlefield.

“This kind of legion can be considered one of the natural enemies of our Illusion System!” Li Jiao scratched his head.

The Illusionist system relies on attrition to survive. Before the integration of mind, body, and illusion, the physical body has little combat ability and basically relies on illusionary soldiers for survival.

The biggest drawback is that it is difficult to perform precise operations.

One reason is to protect the main body and avoid being harmed from a distance by some kind of will arrow.

On the other hand, the threshold for controlling the will is high. Anything that is separated from the body will lead to a problem, namely, difficulty in operation.

Only by reaching the pinnacle of the three talents, or through a miracle, can one use the Illusionary Warrior as a clone.

Without the ability to awaken intelligence, Illusionary Warriors would basically be slaughtered when facing a force like the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and would most likely only be able to wear them down by sheer numbers.

Zhou Tai's legion is the type that the Illusionist system hates the most.

The Illusion Soldier cannot be precisely controlled; it only uses a few moves, making it difficult to achieve a one-hit kill.

That's why Zhou Tai's headquarters can be so shameless.

The two sides then entered a war of attrition, seeing who would give up first. This was fairly fair for the Illusion Warriors, who were not natural enemies.

But with Zhou Tai at the forefront, the vanguard behind him unleashed their full firepower without restraint, and the distance between them and the main force was constantly shrinking.

"Airdrop a group of illusionary soldiers behind and in the middle of them, with multiple buffs, to separate them. Gunners and shieldmen, step forward to repel the enemy!"

Knowing that he couldn't kill Zhou Tai's legion in a short time, Feng Yi decisively gave up and directly adopted the tactic of delaying. On the battlefield, many legions do not actually need to be annihilated; it is enough to prevent the opponent from exerting its full strength.

A large number of illusionary warriors fell from the sky, severing the connection between Zhou Tai and Ju Yi, and then attacked the vanguard suicide soldiers from all directions.

"We've covered less than a fifth of the distance, and the other side's reaction is really fast!" Lu Meng looked at the two separated troops and was a little worried, but he wasn't worried about Zhou Tai.

The Zhou Tai Legion's immortality was praised even by the Sun Knights. As long as they weren't beheaded, they could still survive even when riddled with holes. Being surrounded by Illusion Warriors was no different from being tickled.

However, the Vanguard Death Squad is different. Even though they are stronger than Zhou Tai's Legion, they lack the power of military spirit, making them inferior to ordinary three-talent legions.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army advances at full speed. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun will advance from the left and right flanks, while Zhang He will follow behind Yan Liang and Wen Chou at a distance, awaiting my orders!"

Lu Meng knew that plans could not keep up with changes, but it was still within the expected range. He made a slight prediction of Feng Yi's command and immediately began to accelerate.

Victory is within reach if we can storm the camp.

The only concern is whether the Miracle Legion on the other side will intervene.

Everyone may have a tacit understanding, but no one can guarantee that the other side will really sit idly by and watch their army suffer setbacks and their comrades be killed.

This was arguably Lü Meng's biggest concern.

He couldn't place his hopes on the other side, so the Sun Knights always maintained their central position, ready to follow up immediately if the other side made a move.

"General Gao, I entrust the safety of this place to you!" Lü Meng turned to Gao Lan beside him and said.

"Please rest assured and leave it to me!" Gao Lan glanced at Shen Pei and Yuan Tan behind Lü Meng and said with an extremely solemn expression.

He would never let anyone rush over, he swore on his life.

"Let's get started, you two!" Lü Meng waved his hand and ordered Yuan Tan and Shen Pei.

In an instant, radiance emanated from around Shen Pei and Yuan Tan.

All the soldiers and officers felt their condition improving, and at the same time, their energy expenditure began to decrease.

The army's morale suddenly soared to another level.

Taking advantage of this morale, Yan Liang and Wen Chou charged into the army of Illusion Warriors, protecting Ju Yi in the middle and relieving Ju Yi from the siege.

Seeing this scene, Ju Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. It had been so long since they had fought side by side like this.

A thousand words gathered in his throat, turning into a roar.

"kill!"

The vanguard soldiers were originally heavy crossbowmen, but without their ultimate skill, the power of their crossbows was greatly reduced. So some of them simply put away their crossbows and picked up their swords and shields to launch a fierce attack on the illusionary warriors.

In the synthesis route of the Vanguard Death Squad created by Ju Yi, one part is the Heavy Crossbowman and the other part is the Halberdier. The two are combined into one Vanguard Death Squad.

When it comes to melee combat, the Vanguard Death Squad may not be the absolute best, but they are definitely not a group of Illusion Warriors who can easily outmaneuver them.

Lu Meng chose a very clever time. Because of the blessing of monarchical talent and spiritual talent, the army's strength surged and morale soared. He then forcefully pushed forward the battle line, gaining even more soaring morale, and continued to grow stronger.

This positive cycle is like a snowball rolling downhill.

As long as the other side doesn't intercept, it won't be long before we can crush them.

Unfortunately, Feng Yi was not a puppet. A large number of illusionary soldiers descended from the sky and, as before, began to forcibly disrupt the coordination between the various legions.

"They really do rely on one trick to succeed!" Lu Meng curled his lips. Although the opportunity the opponent seized was amazing, it was essentially the same old strategy.

"Something's not right. The way they're playing now has a Yu Jin vibe to it. They might be able to shatter the clouds and reassemble!" Shen Pei immediately noticed something was amiss.

"Don't worry, we won't give them that chance!" Lu Meng waved his hand dismissively; he had already noticed this.

One of the prerequisites for shattering the clouds is to completely break the formations of both sides. However, under his command, although the various legions appeared to be directly separated, they were actually still in a state of lingering connection.

The opposing side is dreaming if they think they can break their formation this way. (End of Chapter)
