Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

The Xiliang cavalry's momentum reached its peak, firmly suppressing all enemies in front of them.

The Chu Kingdom's most elite army, blessed by the gods they were so proud of, was crushed to death on the ground like pebbles under the wheels of a road roller.

Ma Xige never expected that his elite army would be unable to withstand the enemy's advance, breaking through their formation. The enemy's momentum seemed invincible as they continued to shatter their lines.

"Gods above, grant me the strength to ward off calamities!"

Ma Xige roared as he fully activated the blessings bestowed by the gods.

Granted by the gods, this power is called the blessing of the gods. It passively enhances the soldiers' various attributes, and when actively activated, it doubles the enhancement. However, it consumes a huge amount of resources and may be exhausted in less than a quarter of an hour.

But at this moment, Ma Xige could no longer care about such calculations. If he didn't fight with all his might, the entire Chu army would probably be directly broken through by the Xiliang cavalry.

Or rather, the army had already been broken through and was unable to stop the advance of the Xiliang cavalry.

It was only because the Xiliang cavalry moved too slowly that they were unable to break through the Chu army.

"In the name of Chu, let us punish the enemy before us!"

When the Xiliang cavalry completely overwhelmed his own forces, Ma Xige immediately roared and unleashed his monarchical talent.

One after another, phantom figures appeared, raising their hands and bestowing rays of light upon the Chu army.

These phantoms are the power of the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom, and the power passed down from generation to generation of Chu heroes. They embody the imperial will accumulated by the Chu Kingdom. Even if they did not become the prototype of the imperial will, these powers are real and exist.

With the combined blessing of the gods and ancestors, all the soldiers received a tremendous boost. Since it was a comprehensive blessing, there were no weaknesses, and they could master it instantly after receiving the blessing. So when the phantom slowly dissipated, the Chu army had completely reached its ultimate limit.

"This is more interesting! I'd like to see just how strong you really are!"

Li Jue gripped the horse-slaying saber tightly, held it horizontally with both hands, and began to slash powerfully. Only a strong enemy was worth killing.

Ma Xige unleashed all his power, and the morale of the Chu army rose steadily. However, the Xiliang cavalry was already trapped in the battle formation, and before the Chu army's morale could reach its peak, the enemy's forces were already engaged in battle.

Li Jue and Guo Si joined forces to mobilize a large army and deliver a powerful blow to the Chu army.

They wouldn't just watch the Chu army climb to its limit like that.

"boom!"

The legion's attack, imbued with the power of idealism, erupted suddenly, bringing the Chu army's rising momentum to an abrupt halt, directly shattered by the Xiliang cavalry using the most violent means.

"Damn it!" Ma Xige's eyes turned icy cold. Li Jue and Guo Si seized the opportunity as if by instinct, and the rising momentum of the army was abruptly stopped by this violent bombardment.

It was as if they were being woken up by firecrackers while they were fast asleep. At this moment, although the army's morale was still rising, it was already running out of steam.

"Spearmen, form ranks and stab them all down!"

Although their momentum was interrupted, the improvement in the strength of the Chu soldiers was real, and the original overwhelming momentum of the Xiliang cavalry was finally curbed.

Noticing this, Ma Xige immediately ordered his spearmen to advance, intending to intercept the Xiliang cavalry in one fell swoop and then annihilate them with his main force.

The attacks of ordinary spearmen may not be able to penetrate the defenses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but the advantage of the spear is there. If one person is not enough, then ten will be enough. Just by strength alone, they can knock the spearmen to the ground.

"To just ignore us like this, the Xiliang cavalry really has taken their advantages to the extreme." Li Yan clicked his tongue, the Chu army's attention completely drawn to Li Jue and Guo Si.

This is precisely the advantage that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry should leverage in large-scale battles, forcing the opposing commander to deal with them and thus freeing up other legions.

"We should step up our efforts too, or we'll really be looked down upon!" Zhou Cang said in a deep voice. Although they didn't care about this, being ignored like this on the battlefield was very unpleasant.

"Target directly in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, raise the elevation by thirty degrees, suppress with standard arrows, fire!"

Li Yan already knew that the Chu army had arrow protection, a fact he had observed before, but he still chose to test the waters.

After all, the Chu army looks like they're fighting for their lives right now, so perhaps the arrow protection has been removed.

Unfortunately, the arrow protection was still effective, and almost all the densely packed arrows were deflected and landed in empty space.

"It can be basically concluded that it is not a spatial barrier type of protection, but rather a rigid force field defense, otherwise it would not have been directly deflected."

Li Yan held the large yellow bow in his hand and spoke softly towards the direction of the Chu army.

"Since it's a rigid force field defense, it can be broken through directly as long as the attack power is strong enough!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the power among the Danyang elites began to flow towards the five hundred Danyang elites at the very center.

The "Ten-in-One Cooperation" method transfers the power of ten soldiers to one person through cooperation.

The special bow, comparable to a ballista, was slowly drawn back. The Danyang elites with three talents were already able to work in harmony with heaven and earth, so what was being transmitted to the arrow at this moment was not only pure power, but also the visible essence of heaven and earth.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The loud noise drew everyone's attention, and Ma Xige suddenly looked in the direction of the Danyang elite.

The specially designed arrows extended their flames across the sky, trailing trails of fire, both beautiful and deadly.

The moment Ma Xige saw it, the distorted light spot carrying the flames had been magnified many times over, filling her field of vision.

There was no time to make any corrections; in the next instant, five hundred arrows, each carrying extreme destructive power, fell.

"No..." Ma Xige roared, not having time to mobilize the cloud energy to unleash a legion attack to snipe the arrows in the sky.

Five hundred arrows, each as long as a spear, had already shot into the main camp of the Chu army at a thirty-degree angle to the ground.

Those so-called arrow-proof measures were as easily pierced as thin paper.

The dense defensive line, built to intercept the Xiliang cavalry, suffered a devastating blow in an instant.

Five hundred incredibly powerful arrows shattered the Chu army's lines. These terrifying arrows were so powerful that they pierced through all obstacles in their path.

After piercing through the Chu soldiers, its terrifying power continued unabated, piercing through the Chu soldiers behind it until it was completely buried in the earth.

This terrifying efficiency of killing was completely unstoppable, and Ma Xige could only watch helplessly as it happened.

Five hundred arrows fired in a volley caused thousands of casualties and directly shattered the defensive line in front of the Xiliang cavalry. Before many Chu soldiers even understood what was happening, their comrades in front of them fell like wheat.

This sudden clearing of the battle line stunned all the Chu soldiers who witnessed it, and their mental limits nearly collapsed.

Even more critically, the Xiliang cavalry, whom they had finally managed to suppress, seized the opportunity during the chaos and launched a frenzied attack, attempting to shatter the defensive line in front of them.

The sword-and-shield soldiers and spearmen facing the Xiliang cavalry were forcibly routed before they could react, and many Chu soldiers were scattered before they even understood what was happening.

"The cavalry should advance immediately to hold the enemy back!"

When Ma Xige saw the broken battle line, his heart almost stopped, but he quickly recovered. While maneuvering the battle line to block the Xiliang cavalry, he also sent out cavalry to harass the Danyang elites, trying to prevent them from launching another attack.

"How many times can the enemy launch this attack?"

Ma Xige's mind raced as he considered how many times the enemy could withstand such a terrifying attack, and whether they needed to strengthen their arrow defense capabilities.

But almost immediately, Ma Xige rejected the idea in her mind.

The essence of arrow protection is to create a rigid protective shield that covers the entire legion, making it impenetrable by regular arrows. However, the power of the arrows from the other side this time was truly terrifying.

Each arrow is a single-point attack threat, and defensive measures are simply no match for such attacks.

"I will manipulate the airflow to deflect the arrows to the sides as much as possible. You can command with peace of mind."

Just as Ma Xige was in a state of utter distress, unsure whether he should allocate more resources to intercept the elite Danyang troops or concentrate his efforts on eliminating the Xiliang cavalry first.

After all, the destructive power displayed by the Danyang elite has completely surpassed that of the Xiliang cavalry, and what cannot be determined is the Danyang elite's endurance.

If he could only shoot one arrow even if he tried his best, he wouldn't care at all.

Unfortunately, Ma Xige was very rational; he knew that such an attack was definitely not the limit of Danyang's elite troops.

If this kind of attack continues for another two or three rounds, their morale will plummet to rock bottom.

Such powerful attacks are often the most awe-inspiring.

Having suddenly received Yun Zhongjun's promise, Ma Xige immediately perked up.

They also have divine backing, so they are sure to win this battle.

"Huh?" Li Yan ignored the cavalry rushing towards them.

The elite troops of Danyang and the Imperial Guards formed a square formation, with the outer circle and the inner square, which greatly enhanced their defensive capabilities. Moreover, the Imperial Guards themselves were a powerful defensive force, so with such comrades protecting him on the outside, he didn't need to worry about any problems at all.

What puzzled him was that the Chu army seemed to have changed its arrow defense strategy.

"Standard arrow rain, thirty degrees, volley!" Li Yan decisively chose to test the waters again.

When the arrows fell in dense volleys, only to be deflected to the sides by the airflow, Li Yan knew that the enemy had found a way to counter them.

The Danyang elites were not a proper archer legion after all; they had neither mastered Cloud Arrow nor Will Arrow, so they were completely helpless against this type of deflection defense.

"The reaction was incredibly fast..."

Li Yan silently raised his opinion of the Chu army. The fact that they could find a way to deal with it so quickly was proof of their strength.

Knowing that their arrows could not penetrate the enemy's arrow defenses, Li Yan decisively ordered his soldiers to put down their special large bows, pick up their shields and maces, and switch to melee mode.

Although their Danyang elites could shoot arrows with super-violent power comparable to peacocks, they were not archers at all, but infantrymen, and all-around infantrymen capable of using shields and heavy weapons.

This legion can use all sorts of strange things in cooperation, and when visibility is good during the day, it can be said to have almost no weaknesses, and can even enhance the organization of the army.

It could even be said to be the best candidate for a basic unit. Unfortunately, Danyang is almost a blank slate when it has a single talent or a double talent, and its combat power is almost at the bottom. Therefore, it can only serve as an enlightenment legion for all soldiers and cannot become a formal basic unit of the empire.

"General Zhou, let's advance! Long-range tactics are no longer effective!"

Li Yan gave a shout and led the elite troops of Danyang into a wedge formation, bypassing the space Zhou Cang had cleared, and marched directly toward the Chu army.

Hundreds of cavalry seized the opportunity to charge towards Danyang's elite troops, intending to directly break Danyang's formation and cut Danyang in half.

"You're asking for it!"

The Danyang elite troops on the flank instantly turned around, and the strength of more than twenty comrades behind them was all added to the Danyang elite troops on the flank.

Holding his shield high, he charged forward, his unparalleled strength sending the oncoming cavalry flying.

The opponent, along with his horse, was thrown backward and flew several meters into the air at an angle before dying instantly.

"Pathetic fellows, you have no idea what kind of opponent you're challenging!" Li Yan sneered. Even the Xiliang Iron Cavalry couldn't directly confront the Danyang elites.

To deal with Danyang, we must launch a siege from all sides, bypassing the concentrated front line and directly attacking the back line. Only in this way can we severely damage Danyang's elite forces.

Unfortunately, the Danyang elite troops' rear was protected by the Emperor's Imperial Guards, and the remaining Chu cavalry forces were simply unable to break through the Emperor's Imperial Guards' defenses.

With no worries about their rear, the elite troops of Danyang were virtually invincible in direct confrontation.

"Change of personnel, second batch of delivery!"

A counter-charge annihilated the Chu cavalry who were trying to steal a chicken. Li Yan did not hesitate and decisively issued the order to switch lines, allowing the soldiers in the rear to replace the soldiers who had just launched the attack.

The force that sent the warhorse flying was indeed terrifying, but the effect of force is relative. After such a powerful burst of energy, the soldiers' shield-wielding arms were fractured, and some were even shattered into several pieces.

This kind of burst of power is a deadly move that kills a thousand enemies but also injures eight hundred of your own. As the top elites of Danyang, they can mobilize a tremendous amount of power through cooperation, but their own qualities limit the upper limit of their burst of power.

Just like now, every move he makes is empowered by several times or even dozens of times. Few legions can withstand it, but even Danyang himself cannot withstand such an output of power. He may cause himself fatal damage at any time because he exerts too much force.

Regardless, this terrifying display immediately caused panic among the Chu army, and this direct violence was also a way to intimidate people.

Both Li Yan and Li Jue knew very well that the best way to defeat an enemy outnumbering them was to display overwhelming power and directly crush their will to resist. (End of Chapter)
