Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"This is finally starting to get interesting!"

Looking at the drastically changed Chu army, Lü Meng felt a sense of accomplishment in facing a formidable foe.

"However, if that's all, it's still not enough!"

Lu Meng smiled coldly and waved his hand to give the order to attack the city. A large number of illusionary warriors took off and rushed towards the city wall.

"We have so many illusionary soldiers?" Even Li Jue couldn't help but gasp.

"A fake product refracted using the secret technique of light and shadow, a mere imitation that would break at the slightest touch!" Guo Si crossed his arms and pointed at the overwhelming illusory warriors.

This thing is meaningless to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The illusionary warriors can't break through their defenses, so whether it's real or fake doesn't matter to them.

However, this is indeed a good tactic for siege warfare. The Han Dynasty used this tactic in the previous war between Xinghan and Dahan, but it was quickly countered.

Lu Meng is now directly copying it, which can be considered as him learning the technology of the Han Dynasty. Every battle is a source of nourishment for his growth.

The attacks by the illusionary soldiers were inherently suicidal, maximizing their destructive power. Now, with the real and the fake mixed together, it was almost a devastating blow to those soldiers who were not calm enough.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, more than 500 Chu soldiers fell on the city wall, and even some elite veterans were unfortunately ambushed.

"Does a grain of rice dare to rival the sun and moon in brilliance?"

The arrival of the gods directly took over command of the Chu army, and after a brief analysis, the secret technique of light and shadow was exposed.

As the one who holds the power over the sun, Dongjun directly activated his sun form, completely destroying the secret arts of light and shadow.

The illusory warriors created by light and shadow were instantly swept away by the sunlight, leaving only the real illusory warriors and the city's defenders to fight each other.

With the blessing of the gods, the city's defenders were much more adept at dealing with the illusionary soldiers, suffering minimal casualties and losses.

However, Lü Meng had already achieved his goal. With the cover of the illusionary soldiers, all kinds of war machines were in place.

A large number of modified war towers were erected directly beneath the city walls, providing a passage for the soldiers behind them to charge up the walls.

"Kill!" Li Yan led the Danyang elite troops and a large number of heavy infantry to the top of the city wall. Compared with the Xiliang cavalry, the Danyang elite troops were better able to cope with this complex environment.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had already gained a foothold on the city wall.

"The Emperor's Imperial Guards continue their advance, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is preparing for a frontal assault!" Lu Meng showed no joy, but calmly proceeded with his tactical plan.

"Legion attack!"

Zhao Yun appeared at the city gate with his White Horse Cavalry, drawing upon the power of the army's spirit to release his Dharma Image and fill it with all his inner energy.

The power is concentrated on one point, and then it is used to explode without any mercy.

The silver meteor pierced through all obstacles, and the heavy gate was smashed through in one blow.

The original city gate wasn't this fragile, but unfortunately, the Wu family added some things to it, which disrupted the balance of the gate and made it more sturdy under normal circumstances.

However, when faced with attacks exceeding a certain limit, the balance immediately fails, resulting in a complete loss of defensive effectiveness.

"Charge with me!"

Accompanied by the roars of Li Jue and Guo Si, the Xiliang cavalry charged straight through the city gates and into the city with ferocious speed.

The reserve troops waiting below the city wall were thrown into chaos. Even with the blessing of the gods, they were completely unable to resist the onslaught of the Xiliang cavalry.

The Xiliang cavalry, wielding their ring-pommel swords, launched a fierce attack, their natural slashes shattering the defenses of the Chu soldiers.

Under the dazzling light, the Xiliang cavalry briefly displayed the power of the Flying Bear.

Under the influence of gravity, the ring-pommel sword now displayed damage comparable to that of heavy weapons. With each swing and slash, it was even capable of cleaving through large shields in the astonished eyes of the Chu army's heavy infantry.

The area beneath the city walls fell rapidly, so quickly that even the gods overseeing the battle couldn't react in time.

"Grand Master of Fate, Junior Master of Fate, lead the Divine Guards to attack!" Taiyi slowly gave the order.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate descended directly onto the altar, followed by a large number of divine guards.

"Report! There are a large number of spatial teleportation fluctuations that cannot be intercepted!"

Lu Meng received a warning from the technicians immediately.

"Light and shadow detection is interfered with and cannot be identified!"

Lu Meng was not alarmed upon hearing the news. The Divine Guard was within his expectations, and he would have found it strange if the other side hadn't deployed the Divine Guard at this critical juncture.

On the contrary, Lü Meng was delighted, as he had finally returned to a normal strategic approach and was no longer acting in an unpredictable manner as before.

"Unable to interfere with spatial teleportation, it seems the connection between the divine realm and the royal capital is closer than I imagined!" Lu Meng thought to himself.

If that's the case, it seems easier for them to launch a counterattack on the land of Chu.

However, that's an arrangement to be made after taking over the capital; it's more realistic to focus on the present.

"The incineration troops are to prepare to follow up, the Changshui Battalion will begin a full-scale bombardment, the Emperor's Imperial Guards will ascend the city walls, and together with the Danyang elites, we will take down the city walls for you."

A series of orders were issued by Lü Meng, and the Xinghan army gradually changed formation under his micro-management.

The clouds churned and grew thicker in the sky. This was a battlefield that Lü Meng had planned long ago. He used cloud magic to amplify and suppress any potential high-powered individuals, using an excessive amount of cloud energy specifically to target the gods.

Li Jue and Guo Si were the first to see the Divine Guards, as they were closest to them. The moment they saw them, their field of vision was filled with the densely packed, perfectly aligned Divine Guard army.

The magnificent aura and dense formation immediately made Li Jue serious; the aura emanating from these divine guards was almost comparable to that of the Imperial Guards.

This number of imperial guards was enough to wipe out the three Heavenly Liang Iron Cavalry he led.

"This scale is ridiculous!" Guo Si looked at the terrifyingly dense crowd opposite him, his face showing a bit of a headache, but he wasn't afraid at all.

At Guo Si's level, unless the other side can truly unleash their power to crush them, there's absolutely no room for awe or respect.

So what if the other side has a lot of numbers? Come and fight head-on, and we'll crush you.

"There might be an illusion..." Before Li Jue could finish speaking, a swarm of arrows suddenly fell from the sky, exploding densely among the army group.

With the high-altitude vision provided by the dragon, the Changshui Camp accurately located the position of the Divine Guard and then launched three rounds of attacks without mercy.

After three rounds of attacks, looking at the still densely packed Divine Guard Army, Li Jue's words caught in his throat.

"Alright, looks like they're all genuine. We're in trouble!" Guo Si wiped the ring-pommel sword in his hand with a hint of helplessness, preparing for a bloody battle.

"It's just a nuisance, nothing to say, crush them!" Li Jue drew his saber, reined in his warhorse, and prepared to charge. As for the fact that the enemy outnumbered them, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry didn't care at all.

"This won't be easy!" Guo Si was also prepared. Neither of them showed any fear, but both Li Jue and Guo Si were well aware of the immense trouble they were about to face.

A legion capable of withstanding three rounds of bombardment from the Changshui Camp must possess defensive talents, and the dense formation on the other side is the most suitable formation for spearmen to perform.

In other words, at least the guards in front of them were heavily armed gunners.

The narrow terrain within the city would limit the mobility of cavalry. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not have such a thing, there was no doubt that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was at a disadvantage.

But the Xiliang cavalry were least afraid of being at a disadvantage.

"Crush them!" As Li Jue spoke, the miraculous radiance on his body, mixed with the Legion's talent, began to burn, and Guo Si also poured his power into Li Jue without hesitation.

The next moment, a liquid metal-like radiance enveloped all the Xiliang cavalry, and at the same time, the weapons in their hands began to flicker with a distorted light.

After Li Jue and his men enhanced the defensive buffs of the Legion's talents, all the soldiers applied the power of reality distortion to the Flying Bear's gravity distortion.

"Crush them!"

The Xiliang cavalry roared and charged forward, unleashing the full force of gravity distortion. The leading cavalrymen slammed into the Divine Guard's lines like dump trucks charging.

In just a moment, hundreds and thousands of divine guards were sent flying backward.

Under the control of gravity, the Xiliang cavalry can launch a charge in the lightest posture, and can also transform into the heaviest posture when charging and colliding.

The destructive power of the addition and subtraction was unparalleled, directly causing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to crash into the depths of the Divine Guard's formation.

The power of the Flying Bear is an enhancement of the combat style ingrained in the bones of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Compared to other miscellaneous buffs, the increased charge collision effect provided by the Flying Bear is the best combat bonus for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The effect of directly knocking the opponent away is incredibly effective at boosting one's own morale and demoralizing the enemy.

However, the guards who were knocked away did not lose their fighting ability due to the secondary injury from the landing. After being knocked down, they got up in just a few breaths and quickly reorganized their formation to surround the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Such a brutal scene caused Li Jue and Guo Si's faces to darken.

"This is the real problem!"

Li Jue and Guo Si were true veterans of countless battles; a single probing attack was enough for them to ascertain the core of the opponent's talent structure.

The result they arrived at was even worse than they had anticipated.

The attack from Changshui Camp led them to conclude that the enemy possessed defensive talents, and the effect of this wave of impact allowed them to instantly understand the enemy's core structure.

"A body of steel and super-fast recovery?"

Li Jue and Guo Si were both very solemn as they watched the Divine Guards who were knocked away and even torn open with hideous wounds by the swords, yet still managed to stand up and launch an attack.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was very strong, extremely strong. Even when heavy infantry could directly counter cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was still able to reliably suppress heavy infantry.

This is also why the Xiliang cavalry were confident of being invincible on the plains, because there really was nothing that could restrain them.

They were not afraid of any restraint; having abandoned mobility, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had only one option: to advance and defeat their opponents.

Even with this incredibly resilient Divine Guard in front of them, Li Jue and Guo Si firmly believed that a breakthrough was only a matter of time.

But that was based on one-on-one combat, while now they are on the battlefield, and the number of the opposing side is far greater than theirs.

The inability of the Xiliang cavalry to break through will block the path for the troops behind them to follow.

The opponent is the most shameless type with high defense and high recovery. To crush the opponent, you must kill them instantly and not give them any chance to recover.

For the Xiliang cavalry, this was the most difficult battle line to break through, since their attacks could hardly be considered exceptional no matter how you looked at it.

If it's difficult to achieve a decisive victory, it will inevitably slow down the pace of progress.

"Generals, there's no need to hold back, keep charging!"

Just when Li Jue and Guo Si were feeling a bit overwhelmed, Lü Meng's telepathic message brought good news.

Li Jue didn't even turn his head; he immediately led his men in a charge.

On the battlefield, military orders are not to be questioned, and Li Jue and his men believed that Lü Meng would not let them down.

Therefore, the Xiliang cavalry launched a fierce attack.

Flames erupted from the Divine Guards, and the previously impenetrable Divine Guard formation was instantly shattered by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The guardian, who had been knocked away head-on but was still able to stand up, convulsed to his limit on the spot before dying.

"Hahaha, that's exactly how it should be!"

Li Jue was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. This was the correct way to use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

He also understood what kind of reinforcements Lü Meng had sent them.

Inherited and improved from the Persians, the Burning Guard might not be outstanding as a main battle legion, but as a support legion, it is simply the most powerful.

In some ways, they are even more powerful than the auxiliary military spirit.

"What is that? Why can it negate the blessings of the gods?" The gods were utterly shocked; burning such an unreasonable and elite talent was completely beyond their expectations.

The power of the gods was already suppressed by the excessive cloud energy, and now it has been directly negated, which is simply unacceptable to them.

The Grand Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate hold the power of life and death, so the Divine Guards under their command are practically an immortal army. However, their immortality is broken in just one encounter.

A shadow fell over the hearts of all the gods.

They had overestimated the size of Lü Meng's army as much as possible, but now it seems they still underestimated him.

Even some gods have begun to waver. No matter how much they had overestimated humans before, they still arrogantly believe that humans are just humans.

This is because it has been their custom for hundreds of years to be superior to the State of Chu.

They've become accustomed to being high and mighty.

Even if they are killed by humans, they only see it as a game, a game that can be solved as long as they get serious.

But now, they suddenly realize a cruel truth.

That is, they don't seem to be a match for these humans.

The moment this idea was born in their minds, they extinguished it, but it lingered there.

Because that didn't seem like fantasy, but a cruel reality. (End of Chapter)
