Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 872 Street Fighting in the City
"kill!"

Seeing that the outer city wall had become a ruin, Han Xin immediately led his army to charge in.

"Xinghan's offensive, hum!"

Under the protection of his personal guards, Huang Taiji quickly climbed onto a high platform that had been prepared long ago and watched the situation near the city wall from afar, ready to dispatch reinforcements at any time if there was turmoil in any direction on the front line.

They really didn't expect Xinghan's move.

The sudden attack caught them off guard.

Although their losses were not great, the turmoil caused was so severe that he had to take personal command to stabilize the situation.

At the same time, Han Xin, standing on the chariot, was observing the distribution of the Qing court's front lines from afar, ready to mobilize the main force to attack the Qing court's flaws at any time.

Mu Yi stood beside Han Xin, watching the scene quietly.

Mu Yi did not need any command or special action. Just standing in the center of the battlefield was enough to make all the Xinghan soldiers fight to the death.

Han Xin's command, coupled with the awareness that Mu Yi brings to the soldiers, is enough to solve any problem in most cases.

However, Huang Taiji on the Qing court's side was equivalent to the combination of the two at this moment, which brought the situation to a stalemate.

Although their plan was to annihilate the Qing army with an ambush from all sides when the Qing court broke out, considering the possible turmoil in Guandu, they had to force Huang Taiji to break out as soon as possible.

"The Qing army's resistance was unexpectedly tenacious. They seemed to have been prepared for the outer city wall to be breached?"

Mu Yi was not ignorant of military affairs, especially now that he was standing on the chariot, he was standing high and could see far, able to see the entire battlefield clearly. He felt somewhat emotional about Huang Taiji's dispatch and the Qing court's firm resistance.

"Huang Taiji was a qualified military god. He should have been prepared to break out. The battle lines he arranged were not for winning at all, but for delaying time and focusing on consumption!" Han Xin explained casually.

"But what puzzles me is that since he has already made preparations, what is he waiting for? Logically speaking, the sooner he breaks through, the more energy they can retain!"

To be honest, Han Xin couldn't quite understand Huang Taiji's approach. From the perspective of a general and marshal, Huang Taiji's current approach was a waste of time. He was not only wasting Xinghan's time, but also his own time.

"Marquis Huaiyin, a proud man, will not accept his failure so easily!" Zhang Liang sighed. He had already figured out Huang Taiji's mentality.

To put it bluntly, Huang Taiji was unwilling to leave the imperial city.

This place is a symbol of his success as the Qing emperor. For him, leaving here means failure.

This was unacceptable to Huang Taiji.

The conflict between reason and emotion made him always cling to the last ray of hope and unwilling to give up.

"I can now be sure that Dorgon should really be in Guandu. He is waiting, waiting for Dorgon to go north!" Zhang Liang made a firm judgment.

"Even if Dorgon goes north, what can he do? Does he really think he can defeat our army by attacking from both sides?" Han Xin retorted with a sneer.

It's not that he looked down on Huang Taiji and Dorgon, but even if the two of them attacked from the north and south, they could not change the situation. The current situation meant that Huang Taiji and Dorgon could only escape through the Bering Strait.

Unless Huang Taiji and Dorgon are willing to abandon the troops they have now.

Without these troops, it is unknown whether they can suppress the local indigenous forces in America.

What's more, Xinghan is not without ships, so we can just chase after them and fight them when the time comes.

If Huang Taiji and Dorgon wanted to go alone, Xinghan would certainly not be able to stop them, but if they wanted to lead a large army, they could only go through the Bering Strait, not to mention that the ancestral temple was there.

Especially after finding out that Nurhaci was in the ancestral temple, it became even more impossible for Huang Taiji to stay in the Central Plains.

Even if Huang Taiji and Dorgon were powerful and defeated Han Xin, and Han Xin retreated, they would still face the threat of being attacked from both Han Xin and Bai Qi.

"Their target should be the Emperor!" Zhang Liang calmly pointed out Huang Taiji's current mentality.

The plan was to defeat or even kill Mu Yi in order to achieve a comeback.

If Mu Yi really died, Qingting would really turn the tables.

But whether it was Han Xin or Mu Yi, they just smiled at this possibility and didn't say much.

"Yue Fei will make them both sober!" Mu Yi shook his head and said nothing more.

"Marquis Huaiyin, go ahead and fight. If you can kill Huang Taiji here, it's also an option!"

The best choice may not be the most appropriate one. Mu Yi gave the order lightly. It would be smarter to chase and kill along the way, but breaking into the city and killing people is also possible.

"We can't get in!" Han Xin sighed.

"The enemy's battle line is arranged almost entirely based on delaying and consuming resources, with very few direct engagements." Han Xin said, pointing to a legion near the city wall.

"This tactic is not very clever, but it can bring out the enemy's strength. Our troops are dispersed and it is difficult to compete with the enemy in terms of numbers!"

"The enemy can also mobilize material resources on a large scale. It is difficult for our soldiers to break through the battle line. Even if the battle line is broken, the enemy can quickly deploy defenses. If we want to break in at once, we have to do it again!"

Zhang Liang shook his head when he heard this. Tianzhou only worked the first time. If he tried the same trick again now, he would only be smashed to pieces by the opponent's attack.

No matter what trick you use, it will kill you the first time you use it. It won’t work the second time.

Both sides are empires, and there is no such thing as one trick to rule them all. Only constant change can provide the magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

"Although he was hampered by his pride, Huang Taiji is indeed worthy of the title of God of War."

"The other side hasn't shown much command ability right now, but they have effectively played to their greatest advantage as the defenders and are constantly reducing their own losses. This is a clear proof of their excellence no matter what!"

"It's pretty standard, but there's nothing wrong with it?"

Mu Yi nodded in understanding. The most frightening thing in a war is to encounter an opponent who is steady and cautious. If you want to win, you can only compete with the opponent with hard power.

As the combination of the god of war and the emperor, the other party is familiar with things outside the battlefield as well as things on the battlefield, and has almost no shortcomings.

Anyone who can handle both military and political affairs is destined to be very capable.

Han Xin commanded his army to advance very carefully. Regardless of whether he could conquer the enemy or not, he had to put enough pressure on the enemy.

"Concentrate the crossbows and suppress the gap on the entire front line. Order Fei Xiong to lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to push forward, and have the commandos prepare to lead the assault."

After observing the battle line, Han Xin quickly issued an order.
As the military order was issued, Fei Xiong led the elite Xiliang cavalry and rushed directly forward. The rain of arrows from Qing Ting densely covered Li Que and others who were rushing forward, and Fei Xiong almost did not dodge.

All the arrows were bounced away when they got close to Fei Xiong, and not a single arrow hit Fei Xiong at all. The Xiliang cavalry behind him did not take the stray arrows seriously at all and charged forward with all their might.

"Fire the arrow!"

Under the leadership of the Changshui Camp, the crossbows that had gathered together launched a covering attack forward. Under the cover of such a rain of arrows, Feixiong and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry advanced with all their might.

The Qing army that resisted behind the ruins of the city wall was defeated with a devastating force.

"Catapult!" Han Xin quickly mobilized the catapult to cooperate with Feixiong to suppress the enemy.

"Chi~" With a sharp roar, pieces of stone weighing dozens of kilograms were thrown towards the direction of Feixiong's front line.

"Can these bastards hit you more accurately?"

Li Que, who was hit by a stone, roared angrily, then manipulated gravity to send the stone flying and collapsing a house.

Because of Feixiong's ferocious fighting power, the front battlefield became extremely brutal.

Other legions may have to worry about possible accidental injuries, but the Flying Bear Army does not have to consider this at all.

It doesn’t matter if you get hit. At most you can just crawl down and then get up again.

However, such a charge did not require Huang Taiji to command a counterattack. The Qing army's front-line officers had already begun to counterattack. After all, they were already very clear about the defensive capabilities of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

So they had already developed a special way of fighting.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Li Que took the lead and rushed directly into the crowd of Qing troops, smashing the soldiers in front of him, then pulled out a heavy steel knife and directly killed the Kushan soldiers in front of him who were unable to react in time.

Then they faced short spears and arrows shot at them from all directions.

Li Que laughed wildly and launched a gravity rebound. All the weapons shot at him were bounced away, and some even returned to the original path and pierced the attacker's chest.

Such brutal performance made the officers in charge of the garrison feel terrified and they decisively ordered a quick retreat. This was not an enemy that could be dealt with normally. Rushing forward would not only fail to solve any problems but would also be a waste of manpower. Retreat!

The Xiliang cavalry behind Li Que became even more violent upon seeing this, and followed Li Que, wanting to bite their opponent hard.

However, just as they rushed into the alley and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were unable to maneuver, several extremely swift figures rushed out from both sides.

"Be careful, they are sharp-armed soldiers!"

Li Que let out a long roar towards the sky, but he was still a step too slow. The swordsman who burst into a sprint towards Li Que broke through Li Que's defense with one blow, leaving deep injuries on his chest that could be seen to the bone.

Li Que swung his sword to force the opponent back, then quickly took out the powerful crossbow on horseback and shot directly at the opponent's vital points, but the opponent's figure instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.

"Damn, get out!"

For the first time, Li Que felt a sense of powerlessness. Their Xiliang Iron Cavalry was the king on the plains, and Feixiong could even attack the city directly.

But in such a narrow alley, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were almost at the mercy of others.

Even the Flying Bear soldiers would be directly injured when facing such an extraordinary attack.

What's worse is that the other party has secretly deployed something similar to the Burning Guards.

"The opponent has specialized their abilities to target us. I can feel that the moment they rushed over, my elite talent disappeared for a split second!"

Li Que's face was grim. It was the first time that Feixiong suffered such a setback.

They were able to break in, but the Xiliang cavalry behind them were simply going to die.

No matter how arrogant Li Que was, he would not make the choice of being separated from the main army and marching deep into a city occupied by the enemy.

When the battle report from the front line reached the rear, everyone frowned.

The combination of the instantaneous burst of assassination and the ability to eliminate talent is indeed a bit tricky.

"This is a bit troublesome. We have almost disbanded all the elite legions!" Chen Gong had a headache.

To be honest, they had hardly considered the possibility of fighting in the middle of an alley.

This hasn't happened in a long time.

Not to mention how long it had been since their city was attacked, even when they were attacked, they had never been in such a stalemate.

So much so that the current situation has suddenly become such a strange one.

What was even more terrible was that the arrows from the Changshui Camp could not penetrate the camp due to the defensive secret techniques, and the Sharp Warriors Corps suddenly became an existence without any natural enemies.

The embarrassing thing is that they did not bring the Sharp Warriors this time. After all, a large army would be too fragile and die too easily on the battlefield.

Although Han Xin ordered the commandos to attack, the total number of the commandos was less than a thousand, and there were many veterans among them. It would be difficult for them to survive the suicide attacks of the Ruishi Legion.

Even those whose internal energy has left their bodies find it difficult to survive. It is too difficult to attack as there are too many enemies.

Moreover, the soldiers on the opposing side had not completely withdrawn, and it was easy for casualties to occur if they were besieged.

As a result, they now have to face a problem.

That is to say, instead of using elite soldiers to exchange with the opponent, you can directly force your way forward at the cost of casualties.

"No, there is that pale ghost on the opposite side, which will only make it more difficult to deal with in street fighting." Zhang Liang rejected the idea of ​​special operations at the first opportunity.

Moreover, if the opponent has a large number of archers waiting on standby, special operations will just be a waste of lives.

"Give up going deep into the enemy's territory and spread out in all directions. Let Fei Xiong start the demolition directly and don't give them any space to hide!" Chen Gong continued the attack in another way.

"Let Dian Wei lead the Yellow Sky's Son Legion to push forward and ensure that the enemy cannot push out and continuously control this area." Mu Yi also gave his own suggestions.

Han Xin had no opinion on this, as street fighting was a rather unfamiliar area for him.

So he adopted the suggestions of Chen Gong and Mu Yi and started a two-pronged approach.

"It's just as expected. All of their preparations are just to delay time. Unless we are willing to pay a huge price in casualties, we won't be able to break in!"

After Han Xin gave the order, he spoke calmly.

"Keep exerting pressure. The other side must be in a much more troubled situation than us!" Zhang Liang said casually.

If you expect to defeat the opponent in one go, then you are underestimating them. Let's see what tricks they can play next.

“This kind of environment is really suitable for me!”

Dian Wei punched the assassin who jumped out from the corner into a pulp, and sighed as he looked at the five thousand Sons of the Yellow Sky behind him.

He was not very good at giving commands, but this kind of alley did not need any commands, and it was even broken down to the level of squad leaders and sergeants.

Originally, he thought he had no chance to take action this time, but he did not expect that he would be transferred here to guard the alley entrance. This job was just right for bodyguards like them.
