Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 881 The Final Battle Begins

"monster!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and looked at the place where the dazzling light was born.

Group blessings are not uncommon within the empire, but Huang Taiji had never even heard of a blessing like the one from Xinghan, let alone seen one.

Because he could clearly sense that Xinghan's breakthrough in momentum was not due to the effect of being empowered by some kind of military spirit.

In that instant, a large number of soldiers broke through their limits.

Mu Yi's Monarch Talent, as a composite special talent, has always possessed a considerable number of effects.

Aside from being actively used, it can break through world boundaries and temporarily provide soldiers with a boundary-breaking buff.

Its passive effect allows officers and soldiers to break through their limits more easily; this is a conceptual passive buff.

The enhancement effect encompasses not only the internal energy cultivation of officers and soldiers, but also their organizational skills, physical fitness, and willpower.

It even includes the aspect of technological breakthroughs.

Now, as Mu Yi ignites the imperial will and unleashes his monarchical talent for comprehensive enhancement.

Almost all the officers and soldiers in the entire army who were close to breaking through achieved a real breakthrough.

The burning imperial will transformed into strands of real power, replenishing the energy these soldiers had lost after their breakthrough.

In just a single breath, dozens of people released their internal energy, and thousands of people were born with internal energy forming a powerful force.

Even without a major breakthrough, the basic qualities of all soldiers have been genuinely improved.

At the level of a large army, even a slight increase in strength is quite astonishing, let alone the terrifying sight of the entire Xinghan army marching forward in unison.

This most basic improvement is enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

"Hahaha! Charge with me!"

With the White Horse Cavalry absent, the fastest cavalry was the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry led by Ma Chao.

Without explicit military orders from Han Xin, each legion commander had a high degree of autonomy.

So after Mu Yi provided the boost, Ma Chao felt his momentum suddenly surge, and he was overjoyed. He then charged ahead of the Eight Banners cavalry.

After experiencing the Grand Martial Arts Tournament, he was well aware of the vast gap between himself and the Miracle Legion, so he did not initially regard the Miracle Legion as an opponent.

But the situation is different now. Although the gap still exists, he has become much stronger and can join forces with Fei Xiong. Ma Chao did not hesitate to choose to charge towards the Miracle Eight Banners.

He wanted to vent the pent-up frustration in the chests of the Liangzhou cavalry. Losing wasn't scary; what was scary was not daring to face his opponents again.

Ma Chao has lost quite a few times, so he is not afraid of losing again. The Miracle Legion is his current target, so he is not afraid of the Miracle Legion at all and even takes the initiative to attack the Miracle Legion.

This is the final battle. Even if Ma Chao didn't know the overall strategy, he could guess that after this battle, he probably would never have another chance to fight the Miracle Legion to the death.

"Charge! Charge forward!"

The Liangzhou cavalry were extremely fast, and their combination of lightning-fast charges and defensive maneuvers allowed them to launch fearless charges against any opponent.

At least in the first wave of attack, they could rival any army in the world.

"That brat Ma Mengqi!" Xiang Shaoyu roared in frustration. He had originally intended to lead the charge.

However, in terms of speed, he simply couldn't outrun Ma Chao. He could only watch helplessly as Ma Chao charged towards the Miracle Eight Banners, while he could only follow behind Ma Chao and eat his dust.

Xiang Shaoyu, having been instilled with the military wisdom of Han Xin, immediately realized that after Ma Chao took the lead, he had already lost the right to fight the Miracle Legion.

The Star River's resources are not so extravagant as to use three legions to guard against a single Miracle Legion.

"Hehehe, for cavalry, mobility is king!"

Hearing Xiang Shaoyu's unwilling roar, Ma Chao chuckled, put Xiang Shaoyu out of his mind, and focused all his attention on the Miracle Eight Banners in front of him.

"Dijiang Legion, play your music!"

Han Xin watched the army rushing out in a frenzy and reluctantly issued military orders before beginning to deploy them.

If we let these legion commanders charge forward mindlessly, the enemy might easily break through.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the stirring drumbeats began, the Dijiang Legion commenced its first performance.

At the same time, Han Xin immediately used Xuanxiang to add the combat power of the soldiers in the rear who had not yet engaged in battle to the front line.

The Star Han Legion, which had already reached its limit, seemed to have overcome a barrier, and its momentum surged.

Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry were further enhanced to the extreme, reaching a level where all members were as tall as the sky.

"Kill them all!"

Ma Chao roared and charged at the forefront, unleashing his power wildly. He knew very well that this was their strongest offensive.

"Disrupt their charge!"

The Qing army could not stand idly by and watch Ma Chao besiege the Miracle Legion; at the very least, they could not allow Ma Chao to go in his peak condition.

"Fire arrows!"

A cavalry unit with three talents charged out diagonally, roaring as they drew their bows and nocked arrows, while the officers behind them roared and gave orders.

The Qing court was also burning with imperial will, and the moment they left the city, they were at their peak, with their overall combat power surpassing that of the dual-talent elites.

With a series of sharp whistles, countless arrows rained down on Ma Chao's army, while at the same time, the Eight Banners cavalry roared and charged towards Ma Chao's army.

There weren't many tricks to cavalry charges; it was all about charging forward and crashing into each other—it was either you or me who died. The only things that mattered were skill and courage.

Without a doubt, at this moment, both Ma Chao, who was filled with a berserk fighting spirit, and the Eight Banners cavalry, who roared and charged forward, had an aura that could crush everything in their path.

Ma Chao neither dodged nor evaded, directly braving the rain of arrows, and led the Liangzhou cavalry in a "Z" shaped maneuver, passing right through the face of the Eight Banners cavalry.

The Eight Banners cavalry did indeed have the ability to compete with the Liangzhou cavalry, but Ma Chao, as the legion commander, was far superior to the legion commander of this Eight Banners cavalry.

With just a simple feint, he bypassed the obstacle.

"Everyone, follow me!"

The commander of the Eight Banners cavalry forcefully suppressed his inner turmoil and turned around to chase after Ma Chao once again.

The opponent's natural movement effortlessly evaded their ambush; the exquisite, almost imperceptible maneuver clearly demonstrated the vast difference in skill between them. "Come back, ignore them!"

The commander of the Eight Banners cavalry was filled with resentment upon hearing the military order, but he could do nothing as he watched Ma Chao's army disappear into the distance.

The Eight Banners cavalry were not slow, but compared to Ma Chao's army, they were still far behind and could not catch up at all.

Since there was no way to interrupt the first wave of the charge, it was pointless to pursue them further.

"Continue the barrage of arrows to suppress them!"

Arrows rained down like a storm, and the crackling sounds on their armor spoke volumes about the devastating attack they were facing. Yet, despite this relentless assault, Ma Chao's army continued their desperate charge.

Their armor was pierced and their horse armor torn apart, but only a handful of soldiers fell from their horses; the vast majority of arrows failed to inflict any effective damage on them.

Their bodies riddled with arrows made them look exceptionally battered, but this tragic state did not diminish the morale of Ma Chao's army; on the contrary, it made their morale even stronger.

"No, the arrow rain has no effect on this legion," the archer legion's officers roared in response.

"We cannot waste arrows. The enemy's defensive capabilities are no weaker than those of a heavy cavalry legion, and may even be stronger. They simply ignore our suppressive arrow barrage!"

"Abandon targeting and prepare to suppress the enemy head-on with arrows!" Huang Taiji coldly issued the order.

Ma Chao and the Liangzhou cavalry's charge cast a shadow over the Qing army's breakout attempt. In this first wave of fighting, it was clear that Ma Chao had dealt the Qing army a heavy blow.

But they had no time to think about anything else. Xiang Shaoyu, filled with rage, launched a surprise attack on the Qing army under Han Xin's orders.

In just a short while, Ma Chao and the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry had already rushed to the battlefield of Miracle Flying Bear and Miracle Eight Banners.

Seeing the two cavalry legions constantly intersecting, Ma Chao seized the opportunity when they crossed paths and charged towards the Miracle Eight Banners without hesitation.

"Suffer to death!"

Ma Chao roared and thrust his spear at Lausa, whose eyes were filled with rage.

Has their Miracle Eight Banners really degenerated to the point where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can trample on them?

Even though Ma Chao's army was as tall as the sky, in Lausa's eyes, they were still not worthy of being called opponents.

But when Ma Chao's spear fell, Lausa realized just how monstrous his opponent truly was.

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry may not be as good as the Miracle Eight Banners, but they are far inferior to Ma Chao. The Ma Chao of today is no longer the greenhorn he once was; he now truly stands at the pinnacle of the world.

Whether it's Lu Bu and Ma Chao, or Guan Yu and Ma Chao, Ma Chao has always been a fierce general comparable to Guan Yu.

When Ma Chao reaches his full potential, he becomes an unparalleled powerhouse capable of going toe-to-toe with figures like Zhao Yun and Guan Yu.

Zhao Yun fought four opponents single-handedly, leaving the four of them breathless. Even so, Zhao Yun was still unable to unleash his full strength.

Ma Chao, however, did not have that problem; he could always unleash the power of 200 out of 100.

As he brushed past Ma Chao, Laosa was speechless. In just one glance, Ma Chao had severely injured him, leaving him without the strength to even speak.

Meanwhile, the Eight Banners cavalry swung their weapons wildly, clashing with the charging Liangzhou cavalry. In just a few breaths, the two cavalry legions had already passed each other.

As they passed each other, Liangzhou Teqi left behind more than three hundred corpses, and the Miracle Eight Banners also left behind three hundred corpses.

The two sides suffered a 1-1 ratio of casualties.

"Hehehe, the Miracle Legion is nothing special!" Ma Chao roared with laughter as he turned his horse around and saw the one-to-one battle casualties.

Despite the numerous reasons, the gap between the two sides is now virtually nonexistent compared to before.

"Ma Teng really did raise a fine son!"

Li Jue smacked his lips, never expecting that Ma Teng, whom they had treated like a dog back then, would give birth to a Ma Chao.

Originally, Ma Chao's claim that he would replace them was just a joke. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Ma Chao has actually become qualified to lead the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry to challenge the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Stop thinking about anything else, just kill!"

Hua Xiong roared and, taking advantage of the moment when Miracle's morale was shaken, led Fei Xiong to charge towards Miracle's Eight Banners again.

They weren't very confident about defeating the Miracle Eight Banners, since it was a miracle of the same rank, but with Ma Chao's assistance, their chances of winning increased dramatically.

"You think you can defeat us like this? Wishful thinking!" Tulushi roared, then, with a touch of miracle, prepared to kill Ma Chao first.

As a result, Ma Chao led his Liangzhou cavalry and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Ma Chao wasn't stupid; he clearly understood the gap between them and the Miracle Legion.

Taking advantage of the charge and exploiting the openings he had created, achieving a 1-1 draw and killing over 300 Miracle soldiers was already a great achievement. There was no need to fight to the death with the Miracle Eight Banners.

All they need to do is widen the distance again, then seize the next opening and make the Miracle Eight Banners pay a heavy price.

Watching Ma Chao pat his behind and slip away, Tulush felt like vomiting blood. Now they not only had to deal with Fei Xiong, but also had to distract themselves from Ma Chao, making the difficulty level skyrocket.

Just as the Miracle Eight Banners were in dire straits, the main war had already begun.

Xiang Shaoyu led eight thousand Overlords, who were originally the Imperial Guards of the Former Emperor, and charged directly into the Qing army's vanguard army amidst a hail of arrows.

Xiang Shaoyu wielded the heavy halberd, his power unleashed as if a valve had been opened, accompanied by his roar.

The powerful force swept away the opponent in an instant, turning the opponent into pieces.

"That's what it feels like!"

Xiang Shaoyu took a deep breath. The pervasive stench of blood was awakening his body's instincts. Even though his body had been torn apart by his will, the wars he had experienced would not disappear. They were imprinted on his body and were constantly being awakened, bringing Xiang Shaoyu closer and closer to the former Hegemon of Western Chu.

Originally transformed from the Imperial Guards of the Former Emperor, and enhanced by the military god special effects created by Xiang Shaoyu through his own merging, everyone is like a reincarnation of a tyrant.

Following behind Xiang Shaoyu, they were like eight thousand unstoppable tanks, frantically pushing aside the enemy in front of them.

Huang Taiji found it troublesome; these heavy infantrymen, with their thick skin and incredible violence, were far too troublesome to handle, and could even be treated as a miracle legion.

However, Huang Taiji did not feel anxious. He had already sensed that the stronger the obstacles Mu Yi encountered at the West Gate, the less protection Mu Yi would have.

Huang Taiji immediately saw the biggest problem with the Overlord Army: poor mobility. Once they broke through, it would pose almost no threat to their escape.

Eight thousand men were indeed a formidable force, but they were still insufficient for Huang Taiji. The Qing army swept over the Overlord Army like a flood, then cleverly changed its direction of advance, heading towards the northeast.

The Overlord Army, which was originally at the front, was suddenly thrown to the flank by this slight curve.
