Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1237 Sweep
After being overwhelmed, the alien forces reacted quickly, rapidly shrinking their defensive line. With their left and right flanks in complete disarray, they retreated directly to their camp and held their ground, thus preventing a greater impact in the short term.
However, Zhao Yun knew very well that this was the limit. If he could take it one step further, he could send the enemy flying into the sky.
"Spread out to the left and right!"
The change in the commander's flag quickly made the various units of the Han army understand Zhao Yun's meaning, and they decisively abandoned the frontal assault and launched an attack on Yi Ren's left and right battalions.
The alien officers in the camp turned pale as they watched the Crimson Blood Cavalry decisively disperse. They had gathered their forces to launch a legion attack to wipe out the enemy.
Before the experiment even began, the other side had already figured it out and nipped it in the bud.
In the current situation, the fact that Zhao Yun's command could produce such an effect was truly unsettling for them.
Zhao Yun and the Crimson Blood Cavalry's almost casual command style demonstrated their chillingly strict discipline.
It should be noted that the two sides had already begun a melee in front of the central camp. The Xinghan Legion had the advantage and, if it received orders to withdraw, it would need to launch a strong attack to suppress the enemy in order to leave quickly.
However, the Crimson Blood Riders did not hesitate at all and immediately turned around and withdrew from this area.
To be honest, even in a training exercise, let alone on a real battlefield, being able to maintain such composure in this situation is enough to make one a worthy soldier.
On the battlefield, facing the enemy's swords and spears, the ability to calmly choose the most correct way to retreat after receiving orders is truly beyond imagination.
Even if all the legions are trained on how to retreat and have learned the safest way to retreat, how many soldiers on the battlefield can calmly perform a textbook-perfect retreat?
On the battlefield, everyone is interconnected. A textbook retreat requires everyone to be as accurate as they are in training, which is simply unrealistic.
All the soldiers knew that during a retreat, they should cooperate with each other, risking injury or death to protect their comrades. This would provide a wider field of vision and a broader defensive area. However, during a retreat, humans instinctively seek cover...
In other words, theoretically speaking, no legion should be able to provide perfect alternating layered cover during a retreat, as long as it is on the battlefield.
However, with the support of Zhao Yun's Legion talent, the Crimson Blood Cavalry easily accomplished such an incredible feat.
Generally speaking, this is something that only top-level commanders of large armies, or even military geniuses, can do.
"How can he be so strong?"
This is something that none of the superhuman officers can understand at this moment. Their record against the Crimson Blood Cavalry in the last encounter led them to believe that it was just a tactical mistake.
But this encounter brought them nothing but deep despair.
The malevolent aura left behind by the deaths of three thousand prisoners was like a giant snowball rolling down a mountain, directly triggering an avalanche and leaving the alien forces with no chance to fight back.
However, the Yiren were a group of people from regions conquered by the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were essentially a slave army. In the conventional sense, they were very capable fighters, but in reality, there was a fundamental difference between them and the regular army of the empire.
In this war, they were already at the very bottom of the food chain.
Even if they could unleash the power of the Imperial Guard, or even the power of a third-tier talent, that was only their target combat strength. In reality, they were just floor tiles at every level.
Because they are conquered subjects, their will can never be truly elevated.
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was completely different. He constantly enjoyed the blessing of Mu Yi's monarchical talent, as well as the boost from the brilliant imperial will, giving him an innate advantage over them.
This is also one of the reasons why Yue Fei set his sights on Yiren; he wanted to pick the weakest link.
The army of superhumans is large enough and weak enough, making them the easiest targets for them to deal with.
But as the fight went on, Zhao Yun realized something was wrong; his opponent's strength was increasing, and by a significant margin.
The alien soldiers, who had been beaten like grandsons by the evil cavalry, suddenly became enraged and began to fight back fiercely, scattering a large number of the evil cavalry.
"What happened?" Zhao Yun's eyes searched the battlefield, trying to find the source of the change.
However, there were simply too many cover points in the camp, and even after using several secret techniques, he still couldn't find the other party.
Meanwhile, in the camp, the Kunlun Divine Envoy, dressed no differently from ordinary supernatural beings, did not look too good. He was merely circling and patrolling in the sky.
But the Yiren team suffered such a crushing defeat that he couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he had no choice but to step down and take over command.
The Kunlun Divine Envoys all possess an ability to activate the bloodline information within the bodies of superhumans. This is a method similar to the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, which can greatly enhance superhumans and allow them to unleash power beyond their limits.
However, the price might be that their potential will be depleted, and they won't be able to participate in battles for two or three years.
But Kunlun didn't care about any of that. The superhumans were like chives in the field; once one crop was harvested, another would grow. As long as they managed them a little, they could have countless cannon fodder to use.
The bloodline information bestowed upon these extraordinary individuals can be recovered or created out of thin air; the consumption is merely a drop in the ocean.
Even though the number of aliens is several times that of Kunlun, the source is firmly in Kunlun's hands, and the aliens have no room to resist.
This is also the reason why Kunlun is willing to make the outsiders stronger. They have always been puppets in Kunlun's hands, except that the work of managing them is undertaken by the Great Zhou.
"Luckily I came, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess you would have made of me!" The Kunlun Divine Envoy's true form is a Luwu, but he is just an ordinary divine envoy without a name.
Even so, simply activating the bloodline information caused the alien's combat power to soar, showing faint signs of a counterattack.
In any case, the forces of the Otherworlders are several times larger than those of the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
Although the situation of the left and right battalions under fierce attack was not good, the soldiers of the Yiren tribe, who were commanded in a hierarchical manner with Yiren officers as the backbone, were quite resilient in their defense.
After all, when people are forced into a desperate situation, most tend to fight with their backs against the wall, because it is the ultimate desire to survive.
This is also why offense is always at a disadvantage; when there is a way out, people will always tend to retreat.
With the defensive fortifications built earlier and the command of extraordinary generals at the front, the Crimson Blood Cavalry will tighten their grip as long as they cannot break free of the shackles in a short time.
Once the Crimson Blood Cavalry's momentum begins to wane, the situation will completely turn around.
Therefore, although the situation is very critical, Lu Wu Divine Envoy did not panic. He quickly adjusted the layout of the camp and reinforced the left and right camps.
Fortunately, the supreme commander of the Otherworlders was very careful in his selection, and he built these camps to be as solid as a rock. Every trap and every fortification was built very solidly. Now, relying on these messy fortifications, the Otherworlders have managed to barely hold off the fierce attack of the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
Zhao Yun frowned, pondering whether to retreat. The Crimson Blood Cavalry was, after all, a cavalry unit, and by now they had completely lost their mobility. Moreover, after a prolonged siege, their morale was beginning to wane.
The advantages that have been painstakingly built up may be destroyed in an instant, or even result in a complete loss.
Zhao Yun's calm and rational mind told him that his best option was to retreat.
But Zhao Yun was unwilling to miss this opportunity; how could he easily hand over such a golden chance? His extreme calmness was indeed rational, but Zhao Yun possessed this power and would not be bound by it.
"Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Zhao Yun abandoned the suppression of the legion's talent without much talk. He led his personal guards from the center of the army to the left flank and charged ahead towards the left camp of the Yiren.
Seeing Zhao Yun rushing to the front line, the Crimson Blood Cavalry immediately responded, unleashing their maximum power to follow Zhao Yun forward.
"With our commander leading the charge, what do we have to fear!"
Zhao Yun, who single-handedly forged the spirit of the Crimson Blood Cavalry, is revered in their eyes.
"Die, all of you!"
With a rare roar, Zhao Yun thrust out his Dragon Gallant Spear. Even without a berserk talent, Zhao Yun's ferocity when unleashed at full power far surpassed that of his Crimson Blood Cavalry.
With just one shot, several superhumans in front were blasted away, and then the spear was swung around like a propeller, killing the surrounding soldiers.
Even if the enemy is full of elite members, it's meaningless, since even elite officers would be instantly killed by Zhao Yun's spear.
The entire Left Camp's attention was drawn to Zhao Yun. Lu Wu Divine Envoy immediately issued the order to kill him. He clearly sensed that Zhao Yun was the backbone of the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
Everything will be alright as long as Zhao Yun is defeated.
All the supernatural beings launched a frenzied attack on Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun's unstoppable momentum, which was suppressed by the cloud energy, was instantly halted.
The Jade Lion was surrounded by countless large shields, and spears and arrows attacked Zhao Yun from all directions. Zhao Yun roared to the sky.
With the Crimson Blood Army Spirit empowering him, his restricted power was unleashed.
Countless malevolent energies gathered around him and then exploded and released along with the Dragon Gallant Spear. Zhao Yun pointed his spear, and the ten-meter cone-shaped area in front of him was instantly empty. The terrifying power made people tremble with fear.
"kill!"
Zhao Yun was like a divine weapon, forcefully creating a breach in the left flank, much like a dam cracking and then collapsing under a flood.
The defense line of the Left Camp's extraordinary individuals suddenly collapsed, breached by Zhao Yun's unstoppable advance.
"Crush them!"
Without needing any command, the Crimson Blood Cavalry surged with power the moment the left flank collapsed, roaring as they began their slaughter.
Infantry in a state of disarray have no chance of survival against cavalry.
When forming ranks, infantry can indeed face cavalry head-on. Some infantry legions can even withstand a charge head-on and then overwhelm the cavalry.
However, if the cavalry manages to breach and break through, even if Han Xin takes command, they cannot win.
Infantry whose formations were crushed and whose battle lines were broken by cavalry continued to face cavalry. Even infantry with dual talents would die when facing cavalry with only one talent!
If it weren't for the camp acting as a shield, all the aliens within the camp would have become the dead souls of the Crimson Blood Riders.
The Left Camp collapsed completely under the slaughter, and thousands of fierce cavalrymen once again gathered around the Crimson Blood Cavalry.
"The left flank has been breached! Everyone, follow me and launch a fierce attack!"
Zhao Yun roared and used a secret technique to simulate war drums, causing the drums to suddenly become more intense.
This is a musical secret technique developed by the Dijiang Legion. This drumbeat can greatly stimulate the soldiers' fighting spirit and boost their morale, while also instilling fear in the enemy.
After crushing the left camp, Zhao Yun made no stop and headed straight for the right camp. The greatest advantage of cavalry is its mobility, which allows them to change battlefields at will.
As the drumbeats changed, and the dust suddenly rose from the left flank, along with the fleeing Kushan soldiers, the once relatively stable right flank defense line began to waver.
The right wing, which was originally only trying to put up a fight, was instantly crushed after Zhao Yun brought in fresh troops.
What happened next was almost exactly the same as what happened in Zuoying: one front line collapsed, and the impact was that the entire front line collapsed in a very short time.
In an instant, dust filled the right flank, and soldiers scattered and fled everywhere. At this point, even the God of War could not turn the tide!
The frenzied slaughter further increased the number of the Crimson Blood Riders' cavalry, which had now reached as many as five thousand.
The combined number even exceeded the number of remaining superhumans in the central camp.
"The left flank has been breached!"
"The right flank has been breached!"
The two messages reached the central army, enraging Lu Wu, the divine messenger.
Damn it!
Lu Wu, the divine messenger, roared angrily. The situation had clearly stabilized before, so how did it suddenly turn into this terrible mess?
It is not skilled in command and dispatch; its purpose is to activate the bloodline information of the entire alien camp, give them a powerful boost, and unleash their potential.
Therefore, he simply couldn't understand why everything had suddenly become irreversible, when all he had to do was hold on a little longer before the enemy was about to retreat.
What does this mean? What exactly happened? How did it suddenly collapse? I didn't understand why the left camp collapsed, and then the right camp collapsed along with it. What's going on? How did the situation suddenly become hopeless?
Lu Wu roared madly, then turned around, mounted a blue phoenix, and flew into the sky.
It didn't want to be buried with a group of supernatural beings. Since it had lost, it would just let them fend for themselves.
"Found you!" Zhao Yun instantly locked onto Lu Wu as he took off.
At this moment, the fact that they actually took to the air made it obvious to Zhao Yun that the other party was someone else entirely.
"He actually deserted in the face of battle?" Zhao Yun's lips curled into a mocking smile. If he had retreated with the strange man in the central army camp, he might have been able to save his life.
He actually abandoned his army and fled for his life; he was an idiot.
"Die!" Zhao Yun drew his bow in mid-air, unleashing the full power of his military spirit. His divine might transformed into a spear several meters long, which then shot into the sky like a silver meteor.
Before Lu Wu could react, the meteor pierced through the Azure Phoenix, leaving a large hole in its body.
The Lu Wu Divine Envoy, whose power was suppressed by the cloud energy, was unable to even resist.
"boom!"
The internal energy exploded instantly, completely killing Lu Wu's envoy. A dazzling firework burst in the sky, clearly visible for dozens of miles around. (End of Chapter)
