Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 803: The Frustrated Holy Fire Guard
"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect there is a three-talent legion here. However, they are weaklings and don't have the qualifications to be in charge here!"
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, fully activated his spiritual talent, and directly began to analyze the opponent's talent framework.
"Is it the product of light and heat being compressed and condensed? It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and then compresses and condenses it with willpower... It was passed down from Persia?"
Xu Shu found the original starting point of the opponent's elite talent in his mind, which was actually Parthia's burning talent.
The only difference is that this legion will not ignite others, but instead ignite the essence of heaven and earth, using the burning essence of heaven and earth to promote the improvement of body functions.
The light and heat gathered on the weapon in the opponent's hand is actually the manifestation of the burning essence of heaven and earth.
“I didn’t expect that the glory of the Fifth Skylark would be revealed in this way after it was concluded.”
Xu Shu quickly understood the nature of his opponent, then looked at Xu Huang in surprise.
It took him some time to make a judgment based on his spiritual talent, but Xu Huang made the correct response in an instant.
This kind of beast-like instinct always makes these generals rub their wisdom to the ground at such times.
With a sigh, Xu Shu immediately told Xu Huang his analysis.
"In other words, we cannot take the opponent's attack head-on!" Xu Huang simplified what Xu Shu said in his mind and came to a conclusion.
At this time, Kolya had already rushed towards Xu Huang with his troops, but Xu Huang did not want to fight and directly retreated behind the gun formation.
"Qi, what a sharp intuition!"
Kolya was a little unhappy. His legion was called the Holy Flame Guards.
The destructive power is very strong, especially when it is first encountered. One burst can steadily cause heavy casualties to the opponent.
However, this time it didn't work at all.
If the opponent doesn't engage them in close combat, they won't be able to exert their destructive power at all.
Xu Huang snorted coldly as he looked at the Holy Fire Guards who were rushing out from the opposite side. According to Xu Shu, if he had forced a fight just now, he would have suffered a great loss.
"Fortunately, I brought a mixed army with me this time, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to deal with!"
As they were talking, arrows rained out from both sides. However, unlike the rain of arrows that completely covered the heads of the Holy Fire Guards, the arrows shot by the Qing army were completely deflected to other places by the interference of the position.
The composition of the mixed corps is quite mixed.
The imperial guards responsible for holding the line, the Wei Wuzu responsible for fighting on the front line, the spiral spearmen who form a forest of spears to suppress the enemy, the Zhonglei Camp who assists in the center, the Changshui Camp that suppresses the long-range legion, the Shesheng Camp that snipes the special legion, and the Yueqi who carry out high-speed assaults.
The mixed army of eight legions totaled 15,000 people.
They are all first-rate elite troops, all of them are royal guards. Together with Xu Huang's fully staffed three-talent legion, they can easily defeat a normal two-talent army of one hundred thousand.
This is also the guarantee for Xu Huang to come out as bait. Wu Qi does not have high requirements for elite troops. Anyway, as long as the opponent does not have a god of war, Wu Qi's god of war special effect will be turned on and he will definitely crush the opponent.
So he wouldn't care even if all the elite troops were given to Xu Shu.
On the contrary, the longer Xu Shu persists, the more troops he attracts, and the more advantageous it is for them.
It is simply unrealistic for them to completely wipe out the opponent in this situation. They will definitely be exhausted to death by the opponent in a long-term fight, so their only chance of winning is to scare the opponent directly.
Make the other side retreat and not dare to leave the city. In this way, they can completely suppress this area to the greatest extent.
All the arrows from the Changshui Camp fell on the heads of the Holy Fire Guards, but it was obvious that the holy fire on the Holy Fire Guards' bodies was very effective in resisting explosions that also used the essence of heaven and earth.
A round of arrows was thrown down, and the opponent completely withstood it.
Even the physical arrows were basically blocked and knocked down, and the few that hit the armor were bounced away.
"They are also heavy infantry!" Xu Shu narrowed his eyes. After a brief round of confrontation, he found that the opponent seemed to be able to restrain Xu Huang's headquarters.
This is very uncomfortable. Normally, soldiers fight against soldiers and generals fight against generals to maintain the intensity of the battlefield.
Once the battle turns into a battle between strong soldiers and weak soldiers, the casualties will be horrific.
"More trouble is yet to come!" Xu Shu looked at the invisible army approaching them as detected by the secret technique of stance detection, and calmly moved the position of the Wei Wuzu to the back.
"Strike the heavy crossbow, aim forward and prepare to fire to suppress!"
Xu Shu pretended that the Wei Wuzu were heavily armed crossbowmen, as this attribute was inherent in their positioning.
But relatively speaking, Wei Wuzu is more like an all-round infantry.
He is wearing heavy armor, holding a halberd in his hand, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, a large shield on his back, equipped with a powerful crossbow and a spear thrown at his back. His main feature is that he is an all-rounder and can deal with all kinds of situations.
Xu Shu's subtle adjustment attracted almost no one's attention. After all, in a team of tens of thousands, such adjustments were very natural.
However, it was just this subtle adjustment that allowed the Shesheng Camp and Changshui Camp in the rear to be protected by the imperial guards, and they were also protected by Xu Huang's headquarters and the Wei Wuzu.
Once attacked, they can be surrounded and killed in an instant.
However, this arrangement was cleverly deflected by Xu Huang's military formation, just like the image in a mirror, it all seemed to be in front, but when the attack actually came, it was discovered that it was all steel plates.
In order to better lure the enemy into the trap, Xu Shu also moved the cavalry to the front wing, on the one hand to put pressure on the camp, and on the other hand to tell the enemy behind that their rear defense was really empty.
Xu Huang knew about the arrangement behind the scenes but did not interfere. He trusted Xu Shu's judgment.
He and Xu Shu maintained a tacit understanding that all military orders issued by Xu Shu were higher than Xu Huang's orders.
When there were conflicts in military orders, soldiers including Xu Huang's own troops would give priority to Xu Shu's orders.
The two of them cooperated very well.
"The gun array continues to suppress!"
Relying on the Zhonglei Camp's ability to correct the battle line, Xu Huang deployed a dense gun formation the moment the enemy rushed over.
Kolya wanted to curse, he didn't know how the other side did it. It looked very chaotic just now, but when he rushed to them, there were already several densely packed layers of spearmen holding ten-foot-long spears in front of them.
An inch longer, an inch stronger. Although the Holy Fire Guards also hold long weapons such as halberds, the Spiral Lancers' spears are even longer.
Throughout the ages, the spears used in battle formations have always been much longer than long weapons such as axes, spears, and halberds.
However, the corresponding spearmen holding these large spears would be slaughtered by the latter after they dispersed their formation.
But when the formation is complete, nothing you use will work.
The opponent can poke eight hundred holes in you if your weapon cannot reach you. What's wrong with high-energy weapons, ignoring defense, and having explosive lethality? If your attack range cannot reach the opponent, then isn't that just pure beating?
The Holy Fire Guards were forced to retreat step by step under the pressure of the spear formation. As they retreated, they took every opportunity to use their weapons to cut the tips of the spears.
After all, it is a legion of three talents. Even if they are suppressed, they will not be completely powerless to fight back.
But this is a battlefield. If there were only gun formations, the Holy Fire Guards would still have ways to counterattack or even break the deadlock. But the problem is that this is a battlefield and both sides have teammates.
The average level of Xinghan is undoubtedly even higher.
The combat readiness of both sides was not at the same level at all. The Xinghan who gathered together in advance were always able to maintain local suppression over the mass of the Qing army.
A large-scale gun formation launched an attack forward, and Xu Shu commanded the Wei Wu soldiers to draw their bows and aim, carrying out phased suppressive shooting.
While the ranged troops in the camp wanted to fight back, Changshui Camp fired a shock arrow, and the opposing ranged troops instantly fell into a state of silence.
Xu Huang played very steadily and smoothly, suppressing the opponent at close, medium and long range, and never confronted the opponent head-on.
If the opponent rushed over, they would suppress them with guns. If the opponent approached from both sides, they would force them with crossbows. At the same time, the sound of gunfire continued to kill the opponent's soldiers.
The opponent was extremely annoyed and was unable to launch a large-scale attack.
Occasionally, if someone breaks through, Xu Huang's headquarters can rely on their numerical advantage to defeat the enemy.
The Holy Fire Guards were simply unable to break through and suppress the enemy on a large scale. Occasionally, they would be able to make a small-scale breakthrough, but that was like giving away their heads. After several attempts, Kolya did not dare to continue charging.
War is always won by collective cooperation. Facing an all-elite mixed corps, Kolya could not find a breakthrough at all and fought extremely uncomfortably.
Xu Huang fought very smoothly. If you don't charge, then I won't be in a hurry. It's just a game of attrition, a little bit of consumption. I don't seek large-scale casualties. I will kill as many as I can.
Xu Huang became more and more adept at this kind of rhythmic command. Two hundred Holy Fire Guards were killed, but Xu Huang suffered less than ten casualties.
Although the efficiency was not high, it was a heavy blow to the morale of the Holy Fire Guards.
Xu Shu was a little surprised. Although he knew that Xu Huang was no ordinary person, after all, he was a veteran who was being trained with emphasis, but Xu Huang's skillful and fluent command still shocked Xu Shu.
As for Xu Huang's performance, there are not many people in the entire Xinghan who can match him.
It sounds simple to command 20,000 people as if they were one's own arm, but when you actually do it you will know that it is very difficult.
Otherwise, commanding 50,000 men would not be the threshold for commanding a large army.
However, although it seemed that Xu Huang had the upper hand, with the Holy Fire Guards retreating, the balance had actually begun to tilt towards the other side.
The other side sent out signals from the beginning of the battle. After all, this is the other side's territory. Xu Shu and his men didn't know how many people had gathered on the other side, and how many troops were advancing in a dispersed manner around them.
For them, the longer they delay, the more trouble they will have.
But the three talents are not easy to come by. The Holy Fire Guards have excellent physical fitness, and the conventional arrows of the Shesheng Camp cannot cause fatal damage at all. This is why the casualties have never increased.
In fact, the three hundred casualties were mainly caused by Kolya commanding the Holy Fire Guards to charge. After they kept their distance, the number of people shot and killed was less than fifty.
After all, their identity as heavy infantrymen is there, and the Shesheng Battalion and the Changshui Battalion are not very lethal to them. Even if the Shesheng Battalion attacks with all its strength, it cannot kill many people.
After all, the Shesheng Battalion is better at dealing with flashy legions. There is really no good way to deal with this kind of solid heavy infantry.
“This is a bit difficult.”
Xu Huang looked at the movements within the opposing camp. His tactics were very successful. He found the right way to disgust the enemy and wear them down.
However, this method took too long, they did not have that much arrows in reserve, the opponent was too strong, and the destructive power of the weapons in their hands made it difficult for them to get close.
The enemy has now sneaked into the camp again, pulling shield soldiers as meat shields, and their efficiency in killing the enemy has become even lower.
At this rate, I'm afraid there won't be any results in a day and a night.
"Gongming, don't worry, the other side will be unable to hold back soon!" Xu Shu comforted Xu Huang.
Although they are anxious, they don't need to show it. Instead, the other side will become more anxious in this kind of frustration.
Either explode in silence or die in silence.
The opponent is very confident in his melee ability, so he will definitely choose to force a charge.
What the other party is worried about now is not just the gun formation or just the bows and crossbows.
If it is just a bow and crossbow, the opponent will charge forward with shield raised to engage in battle. Once the bow and crossbow are caught in the chaos of the battlefield, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
As for the spear formation, the opponent can completely disrupt it by relying on high-heat javelins. Once the spear formation is in chaos, its value is even less than the ordinary situation of each fighting on their own.
After all, a spear that is too long will make it difficult for the soldiers to turn around. Once the enemy breaks into the inner circle of the spear with a short weapon, they will be basically useless.
However, there was a problem. The Changshui Camp silenced the opponent's long-range troops. If they wanted to throw spears, they had to rush to a medium distance. However, facing the bows and crossbows with a longer range, they could only stand back.
Even if they forced a charge and threw spears, the Zhonglei Camp was there, so they could deflect the thrown spears. Even if they hit the target occasionally, it was easy to dodge. The scattered movements of a few soldiers could not break the structure of the spear formation.
Under numerous restrictions, Kolya could only retreat, otherwise he would be beaten unilaterally.
Any reckless attempt will result in a fatal mistake.
The situation is quite passive. In addition, the opponent has not figured out the purpose of Xu Shu's appearance here. They will be more worried about the large army of weapons approaching. After all, Xu Shu now looks more like a vanguard army opening the way.
The steadiness shown by Xu Huang made Kolya feel subtly panicked.
The long-range attack was suppressed, the mid-range javelin was ineffective, and there was no way to get close for close combat. Kolya could only watch his own soldiers being killed one after another, and the rage in his heart was growing almost day by day.
"How long will it take for the Rat Fairy and the Fox Fairy to arrive?" Kolya suppressed his inner anger and asked the spirit medium beside him.
To be honest, if there were no reinforcements outside and this transit camp was quite important, he really wanted to retreat now.
"The immortals dare not make a big noise, for fear of alerting the enemy, but..."
As he was speaking, the spirit's eyes suddenly turned white, and he stared at Kolya and spoke in a low voice.
"We're already in position! You make some moves in front to attract their attention, and we'll attack from behind, front and back, to disperse this legion!"
"Okay!" Kolya became excited. He didn't care whether these demons could cause damage to the opponent. It was enough to make the opponent chaotic.
As long as he rushes over and reaches the inner circle of the gun formation, the rest will be no problem. (End of this chapter)
