Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1223 A Flash of Inspiration
"I think we should take the initiative!"
Sun Ce looked at Yue Jin and Chen Dao and earnestly shared his thoughts.
Le Jin and Chen Dao looked at the military order in front of them. It said to hold the line, which was correct, but what was this "take the initiative to attack" nonsense?
"General Sun, the Houtu Legion and the Illusion Warriors will be arriving soon. It might not be appropriate for us to leave now," Le Jin said tactfully.
"General Sun, the military orders instruct us to hold our ground!" Chen Dao directly questioned Sun Ce.
“Precisely because the military order is to uphold it, we need to take the initiative!” Sun Ce’s eyes gleamed with wisdom.
In any case, Yue Fei's military orders were vague and did not restrict their actions.
Instead of cowering in place and waiting for others to attack, it's better to take the initiative and intercept the enemy.
Offense is the best defense!
Of course, Sun Ce didn't think that far ahead; he simply wanted to cause trouble.
His mischievous spirit was burning brightly, or rather, his intuition was at work.
"The idea of ambushing them halfway is not entirely unfounded!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Dao felt that what Sun Ce said wasn't completely nonsense; there was some truth to it.
Knowing that the other side was coming to attack them, ambushing them halfway would have given them more initiative than waiting to be attacked.
After they finish fighting and retreat, they can buy the Houtu Legion more time to rebuild.
Le Jin looked at Chen Dao, who had jumped to Sun Ce's side at lightning speed, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. This guy truly deserves to be a user of the double standard talent.
"Do we really have to go?" Le Jin took a deep breath and looked at Sun Ce. He was a cautious and prudent man who preferred to hold his ground and wait for reinforcements.
“We must go!” Sun Ce nodded.
"If General Sun insists on intercepting you halfway, how about I lead troops to follow behind and support you?"
Le Jin sighed. Sun Ce was the commander-in-chief, and he was unwilling to go against Sun Ce, but he was also unwilling to pay the price for Sun Ce's wrong decisions, so he came up with a compromise.
"Our army possesses the capability to attack beyond visual range. With just a command from the general, I can launch support from the rear. Are you satisfied, general?"
Sun Ce stroked his chin, looked at himself and Chen Dao, and nodded.
He had witnessed the abilities of Le Jin and Chen Dao in their previous collaborations, and the fact that they worked together, one in front of the other, was acceptable to him.
"Then we'll go ahead first. After the Houtu Legion arrives, cooperate with them to build permanent fortifications. Use all the powerful nurturing techniques and dig more horse traps and other similar things around the perimeter," Chen Dao suggested to Le Jin after thinking for a moment.
"With the solidification channel of the cloud, the horse trap is not very useful."
Le Jin shook his head. Traps are becoming less and less useful on the battlefield these days.
"The purpose is not to restrict the enemy's cavalry, but to create a barrier for us. If a large army were to besiege us on the ground, they wouldn't be able to use the cloud-based solidified passage indefinitely, which would buy us a lot of time!" Chen Dao said in a deep voice.
"The more advantages we have now, the easier things will be in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Jin nodded. After Sun Ce and Chen Dao left, he began various groundwork operations to ensure that they would not be caught off guard and killed indiscriminately.
When Ji Jian led the Houtu Legion to arrive, Yue Jin had already set up a large area of ditches and traps around the camp.
"You guys did all of this?" Ji Jian was somewhat surprised. Le Jin wasn't just messing around; he had done a lot of research.
Even with Ji Jian's discerning eye, he couldn't find many problems.
"Since you're here, I won't presume to teach you anything. The rest is up to you!" Le Jin directly handed the task over to Ji Jian.
Having dug so much without any incidents, he felt he might have been being a bit too cautious.
"I'll go back to meet General Sun and General Chen next. I'll leave things here in your care!" Le Jin briefly explained Sun Ce's plan to Ji Jian.
Ji Jian patted his chest and said that they might not be very confident about other things, but when it came to infrastructure, they could confidently say that they were the best in the entire Xinghan region.
"Leave it to me, I'll build a castle here!"
Le Jin didn't pay much attention and led his army to chase after Sun Ce and Chen Dao.
As soon as they arrived near where Sun Ce and Chen Dao were lying in ambush, they heard Chen Dao frantically calling for backup through the mental network.
……
Clauel is a very pure person. He has the bloodline of an Inhuman and has broken through to the level of breaking the boundary in the battle. He is one of the few masters among Inhumans.
Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty despised outsiders, it had to admit that Clauel was indeed a talented person. Therefore, they gave Clauel a new identity, allowing him to enjoy certain rights and status within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But discrimination is everywhere. Even though Claire seized everything through strength, his former country was conquered by the Great Zhou.
Now he can only serve the Great Zhou, shining brightly within the alien legion until his death.
"Reporting to the general, enemy scouts have been spotted ahead, and our scout force has suffered heavy losses!" The scout brought back bad news, which made Clauel very worried. The enemy had actually reached this place.
They were quite far from their destination.
"Send out more scouts to investigate and pinpoint the location to prevent enemy ambushes!"
Cluel composed himself and began to give calm commands. His ability to serve as the vanguard was not entirely due to his combat prowess, but more so to his intelligence.
Encountering enemy scouts often marks the beginning of a direct confrontation with the enemy.
"Send someone to inform Cthulhu that he should be careful and not..." Before Clauel could finish speaking, a distress call rang out from the sky.
"Damn it, Cthulhu, that idiot!" Clauel cursed. Cthulhu had the other man right in his face and he still hadn't noticed. He was such a fool.
"All troops assemble! Advance at full speed!"
Despite his cursing, Clauel still had to go and rescue the people. The two units were helping each other, and if either unit was destroyed, it would be a big problem for the other.
"I can't believe someone actually fell for it!"
Chen Dao excitedly directed Bai Er's elite troops to join forces with Sun Ce in a pincer attack.
He used his double standards to conceal their location, and Cthulhu ran right into them.
Sun Ce and Chen Dao were overjoyed and immediately led their respective legions to unleash 200% of their power to launch a pincer attack on Cthulhu. Cthulhu immediately called for reinforcements and then began to cower and wait for them.
But Chen Dao and Sun Ce wouldn't give him that chance; they launched a full-scale attack, determined to pry open Cthulhu's tortoise shell.
"Fire arrows!"
When Claudius arrived to provide support, the first thing he saw was Sun Ce, who was wearing golden armor. He immediately ordered, "Whoever is dressed so flamboyantly on the battlefield, whether he is the real commander or not, kill him first."
A hail of arrows rained down on Sun Ce, but it was to no avail. On the battlefield, anyone who dared to dress so stylishly and was still alive was unlikely to be killed.
Instead, a barrage of arrows drew Sun Ce's attention directly to the reinforcements, who arrived so quickly.
It doesn't matter, we'll crush your reinforcements too.
"For the affirmative side, fire the arrows!"
Without saying a word, Sun Ce immediately called for reinforcements and then led his men to charge over there.
They were not afraid of the rain of arrows, and even more so because they had Chen Dao behind them!
The Bai Er elite troops, who originated from the Danyang elite, are all-around capable in both close and long-range combat.
As Sun Ce called for reinforcements, Bai Er's elite troops launched a barrage of arrows at the Yiren soldiers from hundreds of meters away. They were top-tier elites with virtually no weaknesses during the day.
The White Earl Elite Soldiers have very balanced attributes across ranged, mid-range, and melee combat, with no weaknesses whatsoever.
The bonus from full vision allowed these archers to achieve a bizarre effect that even the Precision Talent couldn't reach. Naturally, in a barrage of arrows, the White Earl elite soldiers, hundreds of meters away, completely suppressed the aliens with their super-powerful arrows.
Unlike ordinary elite troops who can withstand arrows head-on, the Bai Er elite soldiers, apart from not being able to shoot beyond visual range, have a coordinated organizational structure that allows them to fire arrows that fly over the horizon. In terms of sheer power, the Bai Er elite soldiers are not far inferior to She Sheng and Chang Shui.
Naturally, blocking such arrows is extremely difficult. Admittedly, some elite legions with dual talents are skilled in defense and special blocking techniques and can defend against these arrows, but this definitely does not include the alien legions.
In an instant, Cluel's soldiers were thrown into chaos, and even from hundreds of meters away, the arrows of the White Earl's elite soldiers could easily penetrate the armor of the alien soldiers.
Basically, apart from some commanders wearing iron armor who could withstand one or two arrows that didn't hit vital organs, ordinary soldiers were pierced through directly.
"Charge! Kill them!" Sun Ce gripped his spear with both hands, roared, and swept it across, sending several alien soldiers flying. His powerful aura made him appear both godlike and demonic in this situation.
"Stop them!"
Clauel had no idea that the enemy would suddenly launch a precise and powerful arrow attack on them.
Cluel intended to suppress the elite Bai Er soldiers with a barrage of arrows, but after assessing the distance between the two sides, he abandoned the order. They didn't have any soldiers on their side who could shoot out armored warriors wielding large yellow bows from hundreds of meters away.
At such a distance, the arrow's power would have diminished to the point that even if the enemy soldier took it in the face, it might not even pierce their skin.
But the other side just happens to be able to attack them with these kinds of arrows.
"Abandon your power, unleash a rain of arrows!"
Seeing the reaction of the alien army, Chen Dao immediately gave the order. Rather than letting Sun Ce lead his troops in a reckless charge and risk being blocked, Chen Dao preferred to use the Bai Er elite troops to crush their organizational structure.
This is something that can truly be done. The Bai Er elite troops are a special archer legion, but compared to She Sheng and Chang Shui, they are more inclined to defense and suppression.
Without a word, they used one bow and three arrows, without requiring power or accuracy, only defining a general firing pattern. The Bai Er elite troops were absolutely confident that they could crush the enemy.
Their organizational and coordination abilities have been continuously improving, which has not only enhanced their ability to cooperate.
Especially after Chen Dao used double standards to enhance their organizational and coordination capabilities, they were able to share their vision, unlike other soldiers who needed to be careful not to hit friendly forces when firing suppressive fire.
The Bai Er elite soldiers' field of vision was not a single angle, but a reasonable range of sight for archers determined by a group of people observing the area.
I can just shoot randomly. Even if I shoot ten arrows a second, I can guarantee that I won't hit any friendly forces, even if our friendly forces are running around everywhere in front of us.
A dense rain of arrows immediately covered the soldiers of the alien forces who wanted to block Sun Ce. Many soldiers of the Jie Fan Army felt arrows passing by their heads, but miraculously, not a single soldier was injured. All the arrows were shot at the alien forces.
Sun Ce's attack directly broke through the Yiren's lines.
The suppression from Bai Er's elite troops was too suffocating, and in one wave, they directly destroyed the defensive line established on the front.
Even if it's six arrows per second, at this distance, the arrows fired are still capable of killing soldiers who are not wearing armor.
Seeing the alien soldiers on the front line being routed, Sun Ce roared and charged in. The elite soldiers behind him also roared and followed Sun Ce into the Kushan front.
The effect of a hot knife cutting through grease almost instantly tore a huge gap in the defenses that Cluel had painstakingly built.
"Side contraction, squeezing the passage!"
Cluel roared as he unleashed his Legion talent.
The moment Sun Ce charged in, he shouted an order: At this point, it doesn't matter whether we're exposed or not; we must stop Sun Ce's momentum, otherwise, with this kind of momentum, he might really break through the enemy.
Cluel's Legion talent has a powerful first-hit kill effect; the moment a soldier in front is killed, an invisible force retaliates against the killer.
This counterattack came so suddenly that dozens of people fell in an instant.
"It's a revenge counterattack. Be careful of their last-ditch counterattack after killing the enemy!" The veteran of the Jie Fan Army quickly analyzed Cluel's legion talent.
"Found you, it's you!" Sun Ce pulled on his warhorse, and the steed reared up. Then, its large hooves stomped directly on the soldier opposite him, killing him instantly.
At the same time, Sun Ce also pinpointed Claire's exact location.
There was nothing more to say; Sun Ce once again chose to behead him.
When Claudius saw Sun Ce turn his warhorse and gallop towards him, he panicked and immediately ordered the archers to assemble.
"Gather all the elite archers and take him down!"
Sun Ce's golden armor was so flashy that the archers easily located him.
Sun Ce charged forward headlong, his momentum incredibly formidable. There was a high probability that he would annihilate the entire alien army, at which point Clauel would have to sacrifice at least half of his soldiers.
It was because of this thought that Clauel took the initiative to go and greet Sun Ce.
Sun Ce wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Sun Ce.
No matter how strong the Han army's commander is, any offensive maneuver like this, if given an opening, will result in a swift and decisive defeat, rendering all previous momentum useless. (End of Chapter)
