Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Ma Xige's hands and feet were ice-cold. His last trump card had been easily torn apart, and even someone as composed as him couldn't help but feel despair at this moment.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Ma Xige looked at the Xinghan army on the battlefield and felt unimaginable pressure; this was simply not on the same level.

Especially after seeing morale plummet to rock bottom, the balance of the battlefield had been completely disrupted.

The army itself did not suffer much loss, but its fighting spirit had been completely destroyed.

Every time they revealed their trump card, it was shattered by the opponent in the most ferocious manner. No matter how unwilling Ma Xige was to admit it, he had to admit that they were no match for the opponent at all.

They might be able to put up some resistance against the enemy while relying on the city walls, but they would be completely unable to compete with the enemy on the open battlefield.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

With Ma Xige's order to retreat, the last breath of the entire army was completely extinguished, and the entire army collapsed. Even though the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was unable to hold onto the main force of the enemy due to its limited manpower and mobility, the army was still in dire need of support.

But no one showed any disappointment; their faces were filled with expressions of disbelief, as if they were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities.

"How could someone be so...suicidal in front of the White Horse Cavalry?"

Li Jue, who was used to playing high-level games, had an expression of disbelief on his face. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen an army that dared to scatter and flee in front of the White Horse Cavalry.

Great empires like the Han and Mongol Yuan dynasties, having ever seen a white horse, would never have chosen such a foolish way to retreat.

"Everyone, listen up! Don't focus on killing the enemy, break their formation!" Li Jue roared the order almost instantly.

"Danyang elites, listen to my command! Fire at full speed! Don't be stingy with your arrows! Scatter all the organized routs!" Li Yan roared, his eyes equally cold.

Previously, the Chu army had been protected and sheltered, but now that they have suffered a crushing defeat, nothing has helped them anymore.

"Be careful, everyone. Don't chase too far. The white horse's attack when it's running could easily get us all caught in it!"

After Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Yan and others took action, the Chu army collapsed even further, with large numbers of defeated soldiers being scattered.

"Where righteousness leads, life and death shall follow! Heaven bears witness, and the white horse shall be our witness!" A mighty roar, like thunder, resounded across the land, covering dozens of miles. At that moment, the wind surged, and the rolling thunder, along with the pure white waves, surged from the horizon.

"It's over!" Zhou Cang sighed, as long-buried memories were awakened in his mind. He knew very well that the battlefield would soon turn into a living hell.

Ma Xige's heart suddenly clenched, and he realized that he seemed to have been ignoring the existence of the White Horse Cavalry all along.

Of the four enemy legions, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Danyang Elite, and the Emperor's Imperial Guard all demonstrated their strength, while the White Horse Cavalry hovered on the outer edge of the battlefield like mosquitoes, seemingly doing nothing but serving as scouts.

But when the rolling thunder came, Ma Xige suddenly realized something: the opponent wasn't weak, but rather hadn't reached a stage where they could showcase themselves.

Now, the other side's stage is ready.

The White Horse Cavalry formed a goose-shaped formation, sensing the flow of the wind. They would either easily parry with their sabers or directly swing their swords to change the wind's direction and deflect it.

In the blink of an eye, before the rolling thunder had even subsided, the blades of the White Horse Cavalry had already slashed across the Chu army on the side. In an instant, the blades flashed and blood splattered. In almost three breaths, the White Horse Cavalry had fought their way from one side of the fleeing Chu army to the other.

The flank, stretching for about a kilometer, was slashed across by the white horse's saber in the blink of an eye. Whether it was archers, heavy infantry, spearmen, miscellaneous soldiers, or elite troops, almost all defenses became a joke in the face of the dazzling blade light mixed with the gale.

In the blink of an eye, before the retreating and fleeing soldiers could even react, everything was over.

Some people looked back in confusion, only to find severed limbs and blood splattered all over the ground. Some of the Chu soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were completely stunned. The near-limitless speed of killing left the Chu soldiers who had never seen it before with blank minds.

The ultimate light cavalry, the epitome of speed, the embodiment of killing efficiency, the swift white horse!
Almost no army in the world can withstand such a horrific massacre, where half of its troops are wiped out in an irresistible manner by another legion in the blink of an eye.

Every Chu soldier who turned back collapsed, even forgetting to flee, and was then torn apart by the howling wind, becoming part of a living hell.

"This scene is truly hellish!" Even Li Jue, a ruthless executioner, felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.

The killing efficiency was simply too fast.

From the start of the war until now, the combined number of people killed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Danyang Elite, and the Emperor's Imperial Guards is less than the number killed by the White Horse Cavalry in just a few breaths.

The sheer killing machine filled Li Jue with a sense of dread.

"No matter how many times I look at it, I feel nauseous!" Zhou Cang stared at the bloody battlefield, his breathing quickening.

Let alone the enemy, even friendly forces would feel a chill for a moment upon seeing such a scene of hell on earth.

But at least the soldiers on Xinghan's side knew that the White Horse Cavalry were their own people.

Although the scene before them was terrifying, the thought that it was their own people striking the enemy gave them renewed morale.

Although they didn't understand why the White Horse Cavalry was so terrifying, at least they all understood that victory had been completely lost to them.

No one could remain calm under such a horrific attack, especially during a retreat.

They wanted to do something, but they couldn't do anything.

They were completely out of touch with the speed of the White Horse Cavalry; the enemies within their field of vision were being painted the color of blood at an extremely terrifying rate.

All they could do was watch.

The White Horse Cavalry entered pursuit mode in twos and threes. Without Zhao Yun as their calming leader, the White Horse Cavalry quickly went into a bloodthirsty mode.

Not a single prisoner was taken; almost all the enemies who could be killed were killed.

Only Ma Xige led a small portion of his elite troops to decisively escape into the deep mountains, using the rugged terrain and their intact formation to evade the pursuit of the White Horse Cavalry.

Although the White Horse Cavalry was capable of charging into battle, doing so would result in casualties, which was not worthwhile for them.

After lingering for a while, the White Horse Cavalry naturally gave up the pursuit, something that had happened to them more than once or twice.

They only need to maximize their gains; there's no need to take any risks.

When the war ended, the White Horse Cavalry suffered fewer than ten casualties. Most of them had suffered so much damage to their wrists that they could no longer hold their swords. Other than that, they were not affected in any other way.

The number of Chu soldiers they killed was over 20,000, which made Li Jue, Guo Si, and others grit their teeth. They had already exhausted themselves killing a few thousand people, which was their limit, but the White Horse Cavalry only made a slight move, which was their limit.

If it weren't for the understanding that the White Horse Cavalry were weak in direct combat and that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was still needed for sieges, it would seem that they wouldn't have any reason to exist.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Xinghan army began to clean up the battlefield. A group of Chu soldiers closest to the Xiliang cavalry surrendered and were captured.

"These are just ordinary soldiers; they don't know much!"

Li Jue was somewhat annoyed after receiving the interrogation report.

"It's a pity we didn't capture the opposing commander. He could summon that so-called god; he should know even more!"

"Without reinforcements, even if we win, it will be difficult to catch up with the enemy."

Guo Si was used to this. The Xiliang cavalry often had the problem of winning battles but being unable to catch up, which is why they were equipped with a large number of Qiang auxiliary troops.

However, the Qiang people have now all gone to work for Ma Chao's Liangzhou cavalry, and the number of Qiang cavalry following them has decreased significantly.

Currently, the auxiliary troops of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are mostly regular soldiers from Xinghan, and in most cases, they are coordinated with Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

These are also the two main types of cavalry that the Star Han Empire has clearly defined at present.

Other cavalry units, such as the White Horse Cavalry, the Yuyang Cavalry, and the Sun Knights, did exist, but their scale was incomparable to that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

The two complement each other well. After all, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry was superior to the Qiang cavalry in all aspects, making them the best choice to expand the victory. Meanwhile, the Xiliang iron cavalry's charge was also a good helper for the wolf cavalry to open up the situation.

Nowadays, Bingzhou and Liangzhou no longer have direct conflicts of interest, and their contradictions are not as intense as before, and their relationship has eased a lot.

Even Li Jue and others who were at odds with Lü Bu can now sit together and drink, and are much more friendly than before.

"After we've cleaned up the battlefield, remember to send a battle report to the rear and request another batch of supplies!" Zhou Cang casually assigned the task to the quartermaster after reviewing the intelligence in his hand.

"We need to replenish our stock of arrows, and we need a thousand specially made arrows!" Li Yan quickly made his request.

Ordinary arrows can be retrieved and used, but their specially made arrows are purely disposable.

Once launched, trying to retrieve them is pure fantasy. Not counting those that disappeared into the earth and couldn't be found, even those that were found were almost completely destroyed due to the immense power they were infused with and the subsequent collisions. They could only be scrapped and recycled.

Each soldier in the Danyang elite force carries one or two of these weapons. In order to establish their momentum, they emptied half of them in this battle. If they don't replenish them, they won't be able to fight in tough battles later.

"We also need a batch of sabers; the ones we used before are mostly broken!" the White Horse's temporary commander added.

Zhou Cang looked at the two lists handed to him; the supplies that needed to be replenished were indeed quite valuable.

This pained Zhou Cang, a general who had experienced hardship, but he also understood that these things were necessities and better than using human lives to build up supplies.

Li Jue also wanted something, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything he needed.

The spears used for charging were standard equipment for the Xiliang cavalry; they didn't need to be applied for, as a batch would be automatically delivered from the rear.

"By the way, could we apply to transfer Zhang Xiu over here? We're short of a general to keep things under control!" Li Jue's gaze fell on Dian Wei, and he suddenly realized what they were lacking.

They lack a powerful general capable of confronting top opponents.

Although he and Guo Si were both veterans of the battlefield, they managed to exchange a few blows using their miraculous powers and boundary-breaking abilities, but that was far from enough.

Whether it's Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, or Dianwei, these superhuman warriors are far beyond their ability to contend with.

If Dian Wei hadn't arrived in time, Dongjun could have blasted them both to smithereens with his charged-up bombardment.

"Please compile a list of everything and give it to me. I'll bring it back for you when I go back!"

Dian Wei scratched his head. He had only been called in temporarily to help out; his job was to be a bodyguard.

"Thank you for making this trip, General Dian!"

Dian Wei returned to Luoyang with the list and submitted it directly to Huang Tianji and Zhuge Liang.

"Zhang Xiu cannot be moved now!" Zhuge Liang looked at the application in front of him and pondered for a moment. Zhang Xiu was stationed in the small world cluster, which was a barrier against the Mongol Yuan and the Ming Dynasty. It was really not good to retreat there.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuge Liang thought of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun has returned from his mission to the Tang Dynasty, and he can even go there to command Baima.

Although it wasn't mentioned in the battle report, Zhuge Liang still sensed the hidden problems of the White Horse Cavalry from the few words he heard.

If a legion like the White Horse Cavalry really goes completely berserk, it's not a good thing for friendly forces.

Given the speed of the White Horse Cavalry, even a moment's loss of control could cause irreparable damage.

"Let Zilong make the trip!"

Zhuge Liang could not ignore the request from the front lines. Although it should have been Lü Meng's responsibility, it had already been submitted to him, and he had no intention of passing it on.

Zhao Yun didn't feel much about this transfer; he was already used to being moved around so often.

Throughout the entire Xinghan region, Zhao Yun was seconded to other posts numerous times, which is why Zhao Yun's rank was comparable to that of Lü Bu, a relative of the emperor. He had made too many military achievements.

Zhao Yun was active on almost every battlefield, and his level of activity was far unmatched by other generals.

However, only Zhao Yun was seconded, since the White Horse Cavalry was so useful that Zhuge Liang wanted to use them in two. Giving Lü Meng two thousand was only because of the expedition.

Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would rather dispatch a few light cavalry legions from other places than give Lü Meng the White Horse Cavalry.

However, just as Zhuge Liang believed that the rear should never hold back the front, he would rather spend more effort himself than wrong the officers and soldiers at the front.

However, the benefits that the White Horse Cavalry could generate far exceeded those on the battlefield, which is why Zhuge Liang held onto the White Horse Cavalry so tightly.

The current operation of Xinghan is inseparable from the White Horse Cavalry.

Patrol, deliver messages, sweep...

Xinghan is currently focused on rapid development, and their schedule is extremely tight. Without the White Horse Cavalry, they simply can't function. (End of Chapter)
