Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1236 The Master of Slaughtering Children
"You really do see all sorts of things when you live long enough. It's amazing that such a genius strategist could appear." Bai Qi clicked his tongue in amazement as he held the intelligence on Zhao Yun's Crimson Blood Cavalry.
"There's nothing strange about it. Zhao Zilong is that kind of person. There's no research value in someone as special as him," Han Xin said, casually tossing the intelligence aside.
"Zhao Zilong had exceptional talent, but unfortunately, his talent limited him, leading him to where he is today. Otherwise, he might have had the chance to become a military genius!"
Han Xin had always respected Zhao Yun, but later he discovered that Zhao Yun was good at everything but not good at anything, so he gave up observing Zhao Yun.
After all, looking at Zhao Yun's overall situation, he's like a high-powered version of Zhuge Liang with enhanced combat abilities. He had the potential to become a military genius, but now there's little hope left.
Unless some miracle occurs, Zhao Yun will only ever be an ordinary army commander in his lifetime.
Ultimately, it's because Zhao Yun learned too much, and his calmness talent limited his potential while raising his minimum. So, Zhao Yun himself restricted himself.
Later, because Zhao Yun learned about politics, water conservancy, strategy, and so on, he completely transformed into what he is now.
It can be plugged in and used anywhere, but it can't achieve perfection in any aspect.
However, with more knowledge and connections between different things, Zhao Yun's performance improved to some extent, making him more consistent.
Although Han Xin thought such an improvement was meaningless, Yue Fei quite liked generals like Zhao Yun. They had a high minimum performance level, were stable, and were not prone to failure. They were the chosen ones.
Zhao Yun did not disappoint Yue Fei's expectations.
After Zhao Yun kicked the alien cavalry away from the front, the morale of the entire alien camp plummeted to rock bottom, and then Zhao Yun, leading the Crimson Blood Cavalry, kicked them over.
Tens of thousands of people fled in disarray. Zhao Yun led three thousand soldiers to block the camp and carefully guarded it. As for the others, of course, they were to capture prisoners.
"General, our army has captured one person who has broken through the barrier and two people whose internal energy has left their bodies."
"I never expected there would be such a big fish," Zhao Yun's military officer said excitedly.
"Bring them here," Zhao Yun said calmly. "How many prisoners did you capture?"
"There are probably around three thousand, but we haven't counted them yet. We gave up after many of them ran far away."
The military commander under his command laughed and said, "Capturing prisoners is great; this is all credit that comes out of thin air."
"When the time comes, have the registrar record their respective merits. Three thousand prisoners, shall we?"
Zhao Yun was in a good mood, but when he thought of the soldiers under his command who had unlocked their elite talents too deeply, and who spontaneously collapsed after the war because their physical condition was not enough to support such power, he couldn't help but sigh. Even resisting death can't withstand this kind of thing.
Of the 5,000 men who fought, less than 4,000 remain. The losses are undeniably heavy, but compared to their gains, this was a glorious victory.
Moreover, after the Crimson Blood Cavalry finished their battle, all the soldiers underwent a transformative change, becoming a true military spirit legion, which paved the way for a bright future.
In the future, as their quality improves, they will be less likely to collapse on their own. Moreover, with the suppression of the military spirit, even without Zhao Yun, the Crimson Blood Cavalry can still fight normally.
"What are our losses?"
"Yes, our army lost 1,437 men, of whom more than 300 died after the war due to physical collapse."
The military commander under his command showed a hint of lingering fear as he recounted this.
He himself also used this elite talent, and the upper limit of its burst was very high. Fortunately, his physical condition was good, and after it was deactivated, he was nourished by the military spirit. Apart from being extremely weak, it was not fatal.
"How much medicine do we have left?" Zhao Yun asked casually.
Unlike other legions, the Crimson Blood Cavalry is equipped with a large number of healing and replenishing pills, and almost every soldier takes a few pills after a battle to stop the damage.
"There's still half left, which should be enough to sustain a major battle!"
A somber expression appeared on the military commander's face; the remaining half was basically contributed by his fallen comrades.
"Okay, go and rest now!"
After Zhao Yun destroyed this heavily guarded transit station, he did not continue his advance but instead held the position, contacted Yue Fei, and was ready to be mobilized at any time.
"Fortunately, they retreated in a hurry and left most of the food supplies in the camp, so feeding us is not a problem. Otherwise, with these three thousand more prisoners, we would really be doomed."
After taking inventory of the supplies in the camp, Zhao Yun's military commander sighed with regret.
"Even if we don't have any, it's alright. The supplies will be transported from the rear. We'll hold this position for now and make further plans after we contact Marshal Yue." Zhao Yun looked at the troop distribution on the map with a headache.
He was unaware of the situation in the other battlegrounds, but seeing his position like a nail embedded in the enemy's throat filled him with a bad premonition.
Its ability to overturn this camp can be attributed to a perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and popular support.
Especially the later three-talent legion, if they hadn't been countered by the Crimson Blood Cavalry, they would most likely have returned empty-handed.
Moreover, even without the three-talent legion, the tens of thousands of garrison troops in the camp would be more than enough to give the raiding force a hard time.
Not every legion possesses the exceptional combat power of the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
Just as Zhao Yun had feared, most of the legions sent by Yue Fei returned empty-handed, and their failed assaults on the camps forced them to retreat.
The losses are still within an acceptable range, but the problem is that the loss of strategic objectives is somewhat fatal.
Fortunately, besides Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci also led his troops to capture a camp.
Under the cover of night, he led his troops to bombard the camp with legionary attacks, and in a swift surprise attack, he shattered the camp, kicking all the soldiers inside away.
Taishi Ci's violent bombardment threw the strange people in the camp into chaos. They were completely stunned and suffered a total defeat with almost no resistance.
If reinforcements hadn't arrived, even retreat would have been a pipe dream.
The two camps were like two nails driven into the throat of the Yiren army, forcing the Yiren to stop their advance and organize manpower to besiege Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun's two legions.
This was exactly the effect Yue Fei wanted. After the army of the strange men began to move, he immediately ordered Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun to act according to the situation, with the main goal of preserving their own army and buying time.
Then he mobilized the First Yellow Heaven and the main force to prepare for a fierce attack on the Yiren.
With Yue Fei applying such pressure, the Yiren army, which originally intended to retreat, could only resist on the spot to prevent Yue Fei from launching a sudden attack with his army.
The once impenetrable encirclement was immediately widened, and Taishi Ci led his troops to abandon the camp. He dodged and weaved through the chaos of battle, managing to carve out a bloody path and retreat back to the main camp with the help of Yue Fei.
On the other hand, Zhao Yun made almost the opposite decision.
"Take the prisoners and continue advancing in the direction the other side is retreating!"
After learning that the army of the extraordinary people was tied down, Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and decided to continue fighting in order to expand the victory.
Taking three thousand prisoners back would be pointless; they might even hinder the legion and allow the enemy to catch up. So, they decided to lead and drive the prisoners to the next camp of the aliens.
His mission was to cause destruction, so since there was an opportunity to expand the victory, Zhao Yun did not hesitate to continue advancing.
Zhao Yun was a calm and collected general, but he was also a very daring one.
When almost everyone thought he would retreat, he instead chose to launch a fierce attack.
The three thousand prisoners were driven to the next transit camp of the aliens.
The previously scattered troops have regrouped here and reorganized with the garrison in the camp.
The garrison here numbered only five thousand, as they had concentrated their forces at the previous camp.
The heavily guarded camp was a vital transportation route, capable of blocking enemy forces from all directions, making it impossible for them to bypass the enemy and launch a surprise attack from the rear.
Upon seeing Zhao Yun leading his troops, the soldiers in the camp were somewhat flustered.
The Crimson Blood Cavalry's dominant performance left a deep shadow in their hearts. If Zhang Fei were here, he could probably easily overturn the entire camp with fear.
Zhao Yun certainly didn't have the ability to use fear, but he did have the ability to use malevolent energy.
"Kill!" Without hesitation, Zhao Yun led the Crimson Blood Cavalry to slaughter three thousand prisoners a short distance from the camp, creating a dark and malevolent land.
The sudden surge of malevolent energy caused Zhao Yun's Legion Talent to flicker, and a large number of malevolent cavalry were summoned.
"So many?" Zhao Yun was taken aback.
Three thousand prisoners were transformed into more than four thousand fierce cavalry.
This conversion rate is much higher than before.
"The strength of the elite talent has increased a lot along with the achievement of military spirit. Can my legion talent still suppress it?" Zhao Yun felt a sense of worry.
When Crimson Blood Riders enter the realm of Military Soul, their will is elevated, but their basic qualities have not yet caught up. If the power of Crimson Blood Riders is fully unleashed under these circumstances, they may not be able to handle the dual suppression of Military Soul and Legion Talent.
But as the saying goes, "a kind heart cannot command an army," and since Zhao Yun had already decided on his strategy, he made a firm decision.
The Crimson Blood Riders, mixed with the Fiendish Cavalry, charged toward the camp.
The moment the Crimson Blood Cavalry shattered the outer wall of the camp, the defending troops, who were lined up in formation, launched a fierce attack.
At that moment, dozens of spears thrust straight at the Crimson Blood Knights at the forefront, while shields, broadswords, and greatswords also slashed at the charging Crimson Blood Knights, as if to thwart their charge with the most direct offensive.
However, faced with this situation, the Crimson Blood Knights showed no intention of retreating and directly unleashed their maximum combat power.
"Die!"
The soldiers at the forefront had intense, bloodshot eyes, but the combined power of their military spirit and their legion talents kept them sensible.
The power they could unleash at this moment was much stronger than before, but their rationality had not yet been overwhelmed by their murderous intent.
The spear swept across violently, carrying fierce power, and instantly killed the alien soldiers blocking his way!
The infantry formation blocking the path of the Crimson Blood Cavalry was easily crushed, and more Fiendish cavalry began to appear, wreaking havoc on the camp.
When the officers and soldiers of the Extraordinary Ones saw this scene, their eyes widened in fury, and they wished they could rush up and fight to the death.
However, they lacked the courage to face Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's exaggerated feat of instantly killing several people who had broken through the limits of their abilities and whose internal energy had left their bodies filled them with awe.
In their understanding, only the divine messengers of Kunlun Mountain possessed such exaggerated combat power.
However, what they didn't know was that most of the divine messengers of Kunlun Mountain, even those with names and titles, couldn't defeat Zhao Yun.
If it weren't for his temperament limiting Zhao Yun's performance, he wouldn't be able to achieve a 50/50 chance against opponents who exceed a certain limit.
Zhao Yun's slaughtering speed far surpassed that of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and others.
In terms of slaughtering children, Zhao Yun can be considered the best in the world.
However, these extraordinary officers did not completely give up.
"Suppress with a rain of arrows!"
As a dense barrage of arrows rained down, the alien, having learned his lesson, devised a way to deal with the Crimson Blood Riders: to strike with ranged attacks, avoiding their melee bursts and also preventing the brunt of ...
This fighting style does indeed, to some extent, restrain the Crimson Blood Knights' performance.
After all, while the Crimson Blood Knights' burst damage is exaggerated, their defensive capabilities are average, and they rely more on killing to absorb damage and recover from injuries.
The dense rain of arrows suppressed the performance of the Crimson Blood Cavalry, and the Fiendish Cavalry, who could not dodge, suffered heavy losses.
Faced with a barrage of arrows from tens of thousands of people, even the Military Soul Legion was struggling to withstand the onslaught.
However, all of this only slowed down their defeat. Before their ascension, the Crimson Blood Riders could easily overthrow them, and after their ascension, their command became even more violent.
Seeing that the frontal defense line was being torn apart, the alien generals hurriedly mobilized their reserves to launch a counter-charge, attempting to force the Crimson Blood Cavalry back.
However, all of this was in vain. Once the Crimson Blood Cavalry unleashed their full potential, they were simply beyond the capacity of one or two legions to withstand.
"kill!"
The Crimson Blood Riders roared and launched a fierce attack on the alien soldiers charging head-on.
As a normal type of cavalry, once the speed decreases, the combat effectiveness and breakthrough ability will drop significantly. This is a common weakness that cavalry should avoid.
After all, they weren't like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, whose warhorses were merely ornaments, essentially serving as proof of their noble cavalry status. In reality, even without those four legs, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could still exert extremely high combat power. The problem is that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry itself was an unscientific existence!
The Crimson Blood Cavalry is a fairly scientifically designed cavalry unit. After its speed was significantly reduced, its breakthrough speed became much slower, but its berserk power compensated for the disadvantage of reduced speed.
There was simply no legion in the entire camp capable of stopping the Crimson Blood Cavalry's breakthrough.
The three-talented legion charged forward to block the Crimson Blood Riders, firing arrows and creating numerous causal threads.
But they were no match for the Crimson Blood Riders' burst of power.
Upon encountering these three-talented soldiers, the Crimson Blood Knights almost all made the same decision: to unleash their ultimate power, risking death to kill their opponents with absolute violence.
As a result, the three-talented legions couldn't even hold out for as long as the Imperial Guard infantry did. (End of Chapter)
