Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 878 The Reversal of the Balance

Every soldier of gods and demons fearlessly attacked the Qing soldiers who rushed into their camp, but as their battle lines were torn apart, they were unable to exert their power on a large scale.

They could only fight with their own strength and were completely unable to defeat the elite Qing troops on the opposite side. The gap in strength between the two sides became extremely clear at this moment.

The first line of defense composed of gods and demons soldiers was constantly weakened under this fierce attack, but not a single god and demon soldier retreated.

If they were normal soldiers, their will would definitely have begun to sublimate at this moment. It's a pity that the soldiers of gods and demons have no future and no limit. All they can exert is their own constant strength.

After killing to this extent, without retreating or collapsing, it was difficult for the Qing army to break through directly even if it was overwhelming. It felt like they were trapped in a vast ocean of conquest.

As the gods and demons who have become the charging wave, under the command of Yue Fei, they are doing their best to perform their duties according to their elite talent framework.

Yue Fei was somewhat moved by the divine and devilish soldiers who held on to the elite Qing troops tightly and vowed not to retreat a single step.

In Yue Fei's opinion, in the entire Song Dynasty, probably only the Beiwei Army under his command could do this.

The blood-stained sword and the big shield bent by the horse's hooves made the Qing soldiers go crazy under the unbroken entanglement of the gods and demons.

Of course, this is inseparable from Yue Fei's dispatch. The gods and demons soldiers themselves are quick-made products, and their ability to exert their power is inseparable from Yue Fei's dispatch and compensation.

The God of War possesses the ability to bring out the best in any soldier.

Dorgon gritted his teeth. He didn’t understand why it was so difficult, but fortunately the opponent’s Military Soul Corps had already appeared, and it was worth it for him to sacrifice an entire heavy cavalry corps.

When a gap appears in a place, the effort required to fill it will nearly double.

On a battle line, if the strength here is strong, then naturally there will be places where it becomes weak.

The support of the Beiwei Army allowed Dorgon to find the weak points.

"Kill them through!"

The true intention was revealed, and Dorgon launched an all-out offensive, targeting the loopholes on the battle line.

The two Eight Banners cavalry units were like two fangs, fiercely stabbing at the defense line amidst the densely packed army.

"Go to hell!"

Relying on extremely skilled techniques, the Eight Banners Cavalry performed the formation-breaking moves that they had practiced countless times.

The moment the warhorse charged forward, the spear thrust straight out. The sharp sound of wind brought by the spear turned into a spear light the moment it stabbed the god and demon soldier, shooting over the parry and directly passing through the neck of another soldier.

The vacuum gun, with its power concentrated at one point, directly penetrated the defense of the gods and demons' soldiers and killed them with one move.

The Eight Banners Cavalry cooperated with each other. They could feel the position of each comrade. They didn't even need to open their eyes. They could grasp the movements of each comrade as naturally as one person, as if they were really one person.

The iron knights in the rear pulled their bows directly and shot black arrows towards the rear of the defense line.

Medium and long range attacks coordinated alternately, arrows fell like raindrops, spears stabbed out with rays of light, and the spears danced with blood flowers blooming, directly breaking through the defense line of the gods and demons.

"Shoot!" Yue Fei, with a serious expression, commanded the elite Danyang troops in the central area to shoot together.

The ten-stone strong bow was pulled by the elite soldiers of Danyang, and the armor-piercing heavy arrow was shot at the Eight Banners Cavalry. However, the enemy relied on visual retention and danger perception to dodge in advance, lured the arrow to the side, and swung the weapon to knock the arrow down as if they were prepared.

The superior versatility of the Eight Banners Cavalry began to take effect, and in this kind of melee, they were often able to move one step faster.

No matter how the gods and demons fight back, they can resolve it in time.

"The Seven Great Hates, kill, kill, kill!"

As Dorgon’s monarchical glory fell, a layer of red light appeared on the bodies of all the Eight Banners Iron Knights.

The Eight Banners cavalry soldiers swung their long swords and slashed directly across the chest.

Logically speaking, this kind of attack would not be fatal to the gods and demons' soldiers, but after being hit by the knife, their arms and legs twitched twice and they never stood up again.

This strange scene happened repeatedly in the center of the battlefield, and the soldiers of gods and demons began to be unreasonably crushed by the Eight Banners Cavalry.

"What is that? A sacrifice?" Yue Fei narrowed his eyes, feeling something was not right no matter how he looked at it.

The bright red glow on the surface of the Eight Banners cavalry was definitely not normal. It actually penetrated through the gods and demons that appeared on the outside of the gods and demons soldiers and directly sacrificed their inner life to themselves.

Yue Fei had heard of this kind of power, and he believed that the Roman eleven eagle flags could achieve similar results.

However, no matter which kind of power it is, the most important thing is to allow the Eight Banners Cavalry to massacre the gods and demons.

In a normal state, the gods and demons soldiers could still cause some trouble to the Qing soldiers even if they died. However, in their current state, the gods and demons soldiers were killed in a flash and could not even launch a decent counterattack.

Yue Fei observed carefully and found that this kind of power did not seem to come out of thin air, and each time it required a lot of physical strength.

Even if he could use the power from the sacrifice to restore some of his health, it would still be a bit of a deficit.

"Drum roll!"

Yue Fei looked solemn. Although the ideal time had not yet been reached, if it was delayed any further, he would not be able to fight back.

You must play all the cards in your hand before the opponent makes the final move.

His signal was not sent to anyone else, but an attack signal to Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui.

As soon as the two received the news, they began to counterattack with their headquarters.

As the elite Qing troops charged forward with the Eight Banners cavalry, the gods and demons soldiers that Yue Fei had deployed at the forefront were pushed to both sides at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

"Fire arrows!"

Yue Fei took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted orders. He had already seen that the Qing army on the opposite side was tearing apart the defense line he had set up.

At this time, there is no way to hide anymore, we must fight back with all our strength.

Following Yue Fei's command, the archer put the special whistling arrow on the bowstring and shot it forward. A circle of light quickly spread out where the arrow hit.

This circle of light seems so insignificant on the battlefield, but in the eyes of tens of thousands of archers ready to go, it is the sun in the dark night.

Tens of thousands of archers fired frantically at the two highlighted areas.

The order Yue Fei issued was that no matter what the situation, when seeing the highlighted area, just empty the pot of arrows and then move on the spot.

Accompanied by shrieks, countless arrows densely covered the Qing army. At the same time, a large number of Xinghan elite soldiers also roared and rushed towards the opposite side.

Yue Fei naturally had real elite soldiers under his command. Although these elite soldiers could not be as fearless of life and death as the gods and demons, they could exert stronger combat effectiveness.

In a direct confrontation, they did not have the disadvantage of the gods and demons that they would die if they were hit. The arrows rained down like rain, and the crackling sound of the armor showed what kind of blow the elite Qing army was facing.

These archers rely on their numbers and firing rate to truly fire out a wall of arrows at one time.

There was no way to dodge or parry a rain of arrows of this density, the only thing to do was to take it head-on.

Yue Fei did not aim at the Eight Banners Cavalry. He was attacking the elite Qing troops following behind the Eight Banners Cavalry. The crazy rain of arrows directly washed the ground, armor was pierced, horse armor was torn apart, and a blank area appeared between the elite Qing troops and the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The soldiers of gods and demons attacked quickly, occupied these blank areas, and separated the Eight Banners cavalry and the main force of the Qing army.

In response, the archers on the Qing army seized the opportunity and began to directly lock on to the archers' positions and attack.

Even though Yue Fei had already ordered an immediate evacuation after the shooting ended, the Qing army's counterattack arrived almost simultaneously, and thousands of archers fell one after another.

Yue Fei's face was as gloomy as water. Long before he took action, he knew that there would be heavy casualties, but there was nothing he could do. This was Dui Zi.

Dorgon forced Yue Fei to exchange his sons by suffering several times the losses. Although Yue Fei could be said to have gained an advantage every time, because Dorgon increased the casualty rate, even though he gained an advantage, his own losses were actually rising rapidly.

During the period when both sides decided to exchange pieces, their respective losses had exceeded tens of thousands of people, and the Qing army even paid the price of three talented soldiers.

And it was under this madness that Dorgon really took the initiative, destroying the battle line arranged by Yue Fei, and even tried to go a step further and directly smash the battle line.

Yue Fei's counterattack only temporarily cut off the rhythm of the Qing army's attack. The crushing of the gods and demons by the Eight Banners cavalry made it impossible to continue the battle line.

Even if the elite troops of Xinghan began to take over the defense line and let the soldiers of gods and demons deal with other soldiers, the elite troops of Xinghan who were replaced could only be beaten by the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The all-round troops can almost crush those who are weaker than themselves.

But this situation did not last long, as the Beiwei Army came up to support them.

Yue Fei knew that Dorgon had plans, but at this time he could only raise the Beiwei Army to serve as the backbone.

This is all the cards you have in your hand. It’s no use keeping them in your hand forever. You have to play them eventually.

"Open it for me!"

Gao Chong roared and fired a shot, killing the two elite Eight Banners cavalrymen in front of him on the spot.

However, they then saw more spears and arrows coming from the opposite side. As an all-round troop with three talents, the Eight Banners Cavalry could almost completely ignore the charge of the fierce generals.

The action that had long been engraved in the body's instinct, combined with this simple straight stab, easily blocked Gao Chong's movement, if the soldiers of the Beiwei Army had not taken action in time.

This wave of counterattack might directly cause serious damage to Gao Chong.

After all, the battlefield is never a place where one can charge forward alone. Even a top-notch general like Lu Bu needs the cooperation of his personal guards such as the Xianzhen and Yulin Wolf Cavalry to fight with due momentum.

Stab straight, retract, and stab straight again. You don't need to worry about other directions or long-range attacks. The comrades around you will protect you from being killed by the opponent to a distance where your weapon cannot turn around, and the comrades behind you are enough to compete with any long-range attack.

Gao Chong was easily forced to retreat by this tacit cooperation and could only retreat back into the Beiwei Army's line with a gloomy face.

After Gao Chong retreated, another deputy commander Yue Yun began to give orders calmly. Yue Yun, who was rescued from the lower reaches of the Song River by Mu Yi, had more experience and was more mature than Gao Chong.

Although Yue Fei felt quite awkward about his eldest son Yue Yun who suddenly appeared, the Beiwei Army needed someone to lead them, and Yue Yun knew the Beiwei Army very well, so he had no choice but to accept him.

Yue Yun was quite open-minded. In normal history, both he and Yue Fei were killed, but they were rescued by Mu Yi. He actually saw Yue Fei become the King of Song. Although it was magical, Yue Yun accepted it very quickly.

After all, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?

"Throw a spear to suppress!"

The Beiwei Army used three conventional tactics: defense and counterattack, charge and break through the enemy's formation, and advance slowly.

When Gao Chong's charge failed, Yue Yun led the Beiwei Army to advance slowly to suppress the enemy.

The Beiwei Army had now expanded to 16,000 men, but the other half were cavalry led by Yue Fei himself.

This half consisted of infantry, led by Yue Yun and Gao Chong.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a dull sound. Even though the power of the javelin was greatly enhanced by the essence of heaven and earth, it was still unable to create much results against the Eight Banners cavalry in front of it, let alone create a breakthrough or something.

Although the Eight Banners Cavalry have always been portrayed as a weakling who gets beaten, any opponent facing them will still have a headache.

When the Eight Banners Cavalry determined that they had no chance of defeating the Military Soul Corps in front of them, they immediately began to request assistance from the rear.

"Order the front-line Beiwei troops to retreat and defend, and all archers to draw their bows and prepare for a counter-attack!"

When Yue Fei saw the opponent's movements, he immediately realized what the opponent was planning to do and immediately ordered adjustments.

The Beiwei Army, which was originally advancing slowly and wanted to drive the Eight Banners Cavalry out of the front line, immediately changed its battle formation.

In the Beiwei Army, Yue Fei's orders always come first.

"Unmoving as a mountain!"

Following Yue Fei's order, the Beiwei Army directly turned into a tortoise shell state, completely retreated behind the shields, and densely packed together to erect a wall in front of the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The shadow of the mountain enveloped the Beiwei Army.

The next moment, a dense rain of arrows covered the area. In just five breaths, a hundred thousand arrows were shot out.

Dorgon directly used the three-talented archer corps as disposable consumables, facing arrows that were equivalent to strong bows, and under an attack of such scale and number.

Normal legions, even those wall troops, have an innate resistance to arrows, and many of them will be killed on the spot.

But the Beiwei army did not. After a burst of arrow shooting, their formation was restored to its original state.

Dorgon thought he was seeing things, so he looked again and discovered that the Beiwei Army really had suffered no losses.

It was as if all the 100,000 arrows were shot at the city walls and failed to break through the Beiwei army's defense.

Dorgon found it hard to understand. This was an outburst of power from a three-talented archer at all costs, yet it was defended so easily?

"It's better to climb first!" Yue Fei commented coldly.

The Beiwei Army, which had not yet fully grown up, was able to withstand the torrent of arrows. Now that the fully grown Beiwei Army has grown up, there is no pressure at all for it to withstand such an attack.

If Peacock is replaced, it can still be a bit threatening. For this kind of archer corps with three talents, it is better to forget about attacking the Beiwei Army in a completely defensive state.
