Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1232 A Complex Situation
Before the supernatural beings could even react, a massive beam of azure light struck again, shattering the supernatural army that was barely maintaining its formation.
The blade light, as thick as a mountain peak, not only unleashed a terrifying aura but also generated a massive ring-shaped cloud in the sky.
"This feeling is that Guan Yu has arrived!" Ji Jian and the others had already been awakened and looked in the direction where Guan Yu and the others were coming from.
That almost iconic aura made them immediately aware of who was so terrifying.
"He's gotten even stronger!" Sun Ce looked in that direction in disbelief. He could now be considered one of the strongest generals in Xinghan, but Guan Yu's strength seemed outrageous.
"Get ready, we're going to welcome reinforcements into the city!"
On the other side, Cao Ang excitedly waved his spear; the feeling of being protected by three demon kings was simply too exhilarating.
Ma Chao opened up the situation, Guan Yu shattered the established structure, and Zhang Fei suppressed the enemy with fear.
After the three demon kings arrived, the chaos in the alien camp was completely out of control.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are inherently capable of instilling fear. Ordinary infantry would panic when facing them in formation, and in this chaotic environment, this ability has been brought to its extreme.
In the chaotic camp, the aliens fled everywhere, and almost no one dared to stand in front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers were almost all covered in blood, and heads rolled in the air.
Even if some people manage to form a defensive formation, Ma Chao and Guan Yu's main force will rush in and destroy it immediately.
A camp of tens of thousands of people was easily overturned in a quarter of an hour.
Sun Ce's expression hardened as he stood atop the city wall, directly experiencing the power of multi-unit coordination. The victory that the Jie Fan Army had fought so hard to achieve was now easily accomplished by Guan Yu and his men.
"Why would they send so many people?"
Le Jin was somewhat puzzled. He had a good strategic vision and instinctively sensed the hidden problem with the reinforcement supermodel.
With the help of Guan Yu and others, it seems not impossible for them to overthrow the army of supernatural beings outside the city.
"Don't worry, now that General Guan is here, let him take command!"
Chen Dao was quite optimistic. As Guan Yu was a top-tier commander of large armies, they didn't need to worry about strategy and tactics as long as he was around.
"You're right!"
Le Jin nodded. Chen Dao was right. Apart from the God of War, Guan Yu was the most reliable commander of a large army.
With such a pillar of strength in place, they only need to strictly follow military orders.
Guan Yu and his men did not linger in the fight. After kicking over the alien camp, they left and joined up inside the city.
"General Sun, this is Marshal Yue's order. I am now in charge of this area. Do you have any objections?" General Guan Yu handed the order to Sun Ce, formally demanding command.
Sun Ce didn't check it and directly gave the military order to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu himself is a living testament to the truth, and there is absolutely no possibility of him being impersonated.
"How much grain is left in the city?" After assuming command, Guan Yu immediately began to investigate the situation of the city.
"We probably have enough food for about a month!"
When Ji Jian came, he brought with him enough food for nearly 200 million people for three months, preparing for a protracted war. Now that there are 20,000 more people, he can still afford it.
"Very good. From today onwards, each unit will take turns defending the city. No one is allowed to leave the city to fight until I change the military order. Understand?"
As Guan Yu spoke, his gaze fell on Sun Ce.
Sun Ce frowned, but nodded to indicate that he understood.
Guan Yu turned to look at Cao Ang, who immediately stepped forward and handed the commendation written by Yue Fei to Sun Ce.
"General Sun, your great victory over the enemy was a stroke of genius. Marshal Yue has already recommended you for commendation, and you will be rewarded in full after the battle ends!"
A smile appeared on Sun Ce's face, and he finally understood why Guan Yu was looking at him like that.
It turns out that he was worried about becoming arrogant because of his achievements, so he used a strategy of praising before criticizing.
"Bo Fu, well done!" Ma Chao stepped forward and punched Sun Ce, not holding back his praise.
"Don't you even know who I am!" Sun Ce raised his head, full of arrogance. When everyone saw Sun Ce and Ma Chao starting to act silly, they all laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became lively.
"General Guan, our army is now strong and well-equipped. Why not take advantage of the enemy's weakness and defeat them in one fell swoop?"
Le Jin walked up to Guan Yu, bowed slightly, and voiced the question that had been troubling him.
"This is exactly what I'm going to emphasize to you all next!"
Guan Yu had someone project the map using light and shadow, instantly making the complex situation more concrete.
"Marshal Yue wants to besiege the enemy and attack their reinforcements. Our current role is to act as bait. Even if we can defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies, we must remain still."
Guan Yu slowly revealed the situation to everyone, and only then did Le Jin and the others realize what was going on.
"So we can only passively defend?"
Sun Ce was somewhat frustrated. He had just won a great victory and was full of vigor, but now he was being told to play a defensive game. How could he not be frustrated?
"That's not the case. There are many cavalry in the city now, so we can look for a good opportunity to go out and fight!" Guan Yu shook his head. He was not the type to passively take a beating.
"Report, General, the enemy is gathering towards the north gate!"
Suddenly, a messenger's message interrupted the meeting.
"North Gate? It seems the commander of the opposing army is already in position. This has given us a real problem!" Guan Yu stroked his beard.
"Concentrating their forces on one side, it seems they don't intend to attack the city, but rather to confront us!" Chen Dao said thoughtfully.
"No, I think they will attack the city even more fiercely next!" Guan Yu shook his head.
The single-sided city wall limited the contact area and also restricted the cavalry's effectiveness.
This also avoids the fate of being defeated by splitting up forces again. Concentrating forces on one point is not a great choice, but it is safe and secure.
"If we are attacking the city, our cavalry can launch an attack from the two city gates..." Yue Jin said, puzzled.
"Don't underestimate your opponent! Let's observe them for a while!"
Guan Yu led his generals up the city wall to observe the movements of the strange army outside the city.
The alien army outside the city left several huge square formations to guard the north gate, while the rest of the troops were frantically moving to form a massive military formation with a specific structure.
"A large formation containing smaller formations... this nested military formation is troublesome!"
Guan Yu's expression turned serious. Nested military formations were not uncommon in the Star River, and they had all come into contact with them.
However, the opposing army formation is different. In a normal nested army formation, each legion receives buffs from both the overall formation and its own smaller formations. The larger formation is used to enhance basic attributes and improve raw strength, while the smaller formations are adjusted to counter the opponent's abilities.
However, the military formations displayed by the opposing side are completely different. The large formations only enhance organizational power, while the small formations provide different attribute bonuses. The final effect is that each legion can benefit from the bonuses of multiple small formations.
Ultimately, the combined effect of multiple smaller formations was quite significant, and more importantly, it completely enhanced the combat power of the frontline legions.
Le Jin's expression was not good. He could tell that this was a method the enemy had specifically used to counter cavalry charges.
Even if Guan Yu and his men could withstand the buffs and suppression and shatter the first legion, the second legion that followed would also come with layers of buffs and continue to push forward.
More importantly, the opposing army is larger in number, allowing the rear legions to freely change formations and be highly targeted.
"An army with a commander and an army without a commander are two completely different things!" Chen Dao's face turned even uglier. His greatest reliance was directly destroyed. With this kind of structure, if he dared to activate his double standard ability, the backlash would instantly crush Bai Er's elite troops.
Without the ability to apply double standards, his own troops were not much stronger than the Danyang Imperial Guards, instantly falling from a main force on the battlefield to a mere bystander.
If it weren't for their ranged attacks, which allowed them to temporarily fill in as archer legions, Chen Dao and Bai Er's elite troops would most likely have become cannon fodder.
Inside the army of superhumans, the newly arrived commander, Kolis Xu, withdrew his gaze. Even from such a distance, the divine will in Guan Yu's eyes stung him.
"Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of troops would have been completely wiped out by the enemy!" Kristow sighed, he had been assigned a huge problem.
Before I came, I heard that the former commander, Rusjili, was killed in the chaos of battle because of his carelessness.
But before he could even settle in, Guan Yu and his men arrived, swiftly breaking through their encirclement and entering the city.
In just a quarter of an hour, he didn't even have time to call in reinforcements.
If the other side hadn't been so disheartened, who knows how many of them would have died before the chaos could be brought under control and they could regroup to fight them again.
Upon learning the approximate capabilities of Guan Yu's army from the defeated soldiers, Kolis immediately mobilized his troops to form a large formation.
To split the troops further would be suicidal; he didn't want to have his head chopped off amidst the chaos of battle.
"Are you planning to abandon the siege with this arrangement?" Thea's Celestials had all been taken away by Corliss to form ranks, and he was serving as Corliss's guard. He asked in confusion.
"Just protect me, you don't need to worry about the rest!"
Kolis glanced at Thea. He had heard from Rusgili's guards that if Thea hadn't been defeated in one fell swoop, Rusgili wouldn't have been killed in battle and wouldn't have been able to escape.
But since Thea is the Kunlun Divine Envoy, the otherworldly beings have no right to deal with her and have to rely on her to command the Kunlun troops.
Moreover, the most capable fighter by his side right now is Thea.
At least it could slow down the opponent's progress. If Sun Ce hadn't summoned the Imperial Will, I can't say I could have killed Sun Ce, but at least I could have held him off.
Thea was a little dissatisfied with Chris's attitude, but she didn't retaliate. After all, they had lost the battle, and even if they were defeated in Kunlun, there were still punishments.
Her actions have brought shame to West Kunlun, and for now, they can only rely on Kolisxu to salvage the situation, so they have no choice but to endure it.
Before the defeat, she would have already lost her temper; how dare a mere superhuman speak to her like that?
"Will West Kunlun send people to assist?" Chris Xu continued to ask.
"Lady Xuan Nu has mobilized ten divine beasts and one hundred spirit beasts to provide support. Other reinforcements cannot arrive at the moment!" Xia said after taking a deep breath.
Chris nodded. The reason they couldn't get through was naturally because of Yue Fei's large army, something he knew better than Thea.
Ten Breakthroughs and one hundred Internal Energy Departures provide some support for the battlefield, but it's better than nothing.
The Boundary-Breaking Divine Beast sounds powerful, but Zhu Yan, who was killed by Zhang Fei in ten moves, was also a Boundary-Breaking Divine Beast, and their combat power was on a completely different level.
As the commander of the large legion, Kolischu was somewhat familiar with some of the rules of West Kunlun.
In the Western Kunlun Mountains, only named mythical beasts can be considered true powerhouses; those without names but referred to by their race are mostly imposters.
It's not that they don't deserve the title of "Breakthrough Force," but rather that they aren't top-tier combatants and mostly just serve as super soldiers.
"Don't worry, the team leaders this time are Qingluan Xuan Nu and Chifeng Xuan Nu. You should have heard of their names!"
Thea said calmly, but Chris showed no joy whatsoever.
He did hope to get someone who could fight, but it couldn't be Qingluan Xuannv and Chifeng Xuannv. While they could fight, they were also messengers of the Queen Mother of the West, and their status was far higher than that of Xiya.
Putting aside whether he can command these two old men, if anything goes wrong, how will he maintain his position?
Although they don't want to admit it, the Extraordinary Ones are indeed stepping stones.
Thea only listened to him because she was defeated. Who knows what these two will do now that they've arrived?
"Does the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden have any other instructions?" Chris asked somewhat awkwardly.
"They only gave us one instruction: hold on and wait for further orders."
"Only this one sentence?" Chris Xu sensed something unusual.
They were neither allowed to retreat nor to attack, but rather to hold out.
"Could it be that Xinghan is determined to devour us first?" The pressure on Chris Xu suddenly increased dramatically.
The arrival of Guan Yu and his men had already cast a shadow over him, and upon hearing this terrible news, he was immediately thrown into turmoil.
However, as a commander of a large army, Kolischu had excellent mental fortitude and recovered in just a short time.
"Pass on my orders: prepare to attack the city tomorrow!"
Kolis Xu was determined. No matter how things changed outside, their most important task right now was to take down this city. If they could defend the city, even if they were surrounded and annihilated later, they might still have a chance of survival.
He knew that the army of superhumans was gathering here, and no matter what happened in West Kunlun, they would definitely be able to get reinforcements.
Whether the retreat will be coordinated with reinforcements from within or without, that's a matter for later.
The situation was changing too fast, and he was already involved, so he simply abandoned analysis and focused on the war at hand.
Regardless, a fight is inevitable; only through fighting will they have a chance.
In the direction of the Western Kunlun army, Baihu Xuannv found Jiutian Xuannv and asked her with some confusion.
"The extraordinary individuals within the encirclement will most likely become expendable pawns, so why do you still send Qingluan and Chifeng there?"
“Even a discarded pawn has its uses, doesn’t it?” The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn’t explain, she just said calmly.
"The army is ready, and you can mobilize it at any time."
The White Tiger Goddess didn't bother to ask further, tossed out a single sentence, shouldered her halberd, and turned to leave. (End of Chapter)
