"Archers, shoot them all down!"

Mu Yi naturally took over command and began to mobilize troops for a defensive counterattack.

They had long been prepared for the air force and underground forces, and now they were naturally performing their respective duties.

Hou Yi's troops immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks.

The arrow shot out with a piercing shriek the moment it left the hand; in the hands of the archers of Hou Yi's camp, the power of an ordinary arrow was completely extraordinary.

Possessing the ultimate talent of archery extension, it is theoretically possible to combine the immense power of the shot with the rapid firing speed of the Parthian archer. However, for these two extreme abilities to coexist harmoniously, the requirements for the archer are extremely high.

But Hou Yi's camp was able to do that.

The space where they were just about to take off again was pierced through by arrows in mid-air, the terrifying power creating a hole the size of a bowl behind these soldiers.

When the cloud aura enhances the attack, the arrow's power reaches its maximum; this is the power created by extending one's will into the arrow.

At this moment, the arrows fired by the archers of Houyi's camp were the result of the power unleashed by each of their soldiers after firing hundreds of thousands of shots.

Arrows that combine power and speed are almost fatal, even to a unit with three talents in decisive battles, if struck without any protection.

Even defensive units, without parrying or resisting, can be blasted through by a single shot, creating a hole the size of a bowl. As long as they are human, they cannot survive.

The air legion suffered an extremely fatal blow almost instantly.

"Dodge! Dodge! Never take a direct hit!"

A volley of arrows took away nearly a thousand men. The officers and soldiers of the Qing army's flying corps were nearly driven mad with rage, and immediately roared at their soldiers to take evasive action.

He couldn't accept that many elite flying soldiers had already fallen to their deaths under the previous sky-blocking radiance, and now they were being killed by a rain of arrows.

So far, they haven't even managed to touch a single Xinghan soldier.

However, even the flying soldiers could not avoid being shot. The process of landing and taking off again allowed the soldiers of Houyi's camp to completely control their movement trajectory.

Before they were fully airborne, these soldiers were sitting ducks.

Moreover, because the soldiers of Houyi's camp combined power and speed, they could unleash a large number of arrows in the shortest amount of time.

Before the main force of the Qing army completed the space jump, very few flying legions survived, and they were almost completely no longer a threat.

Even more cruelly, when Mu Yi discovered that there were still some who had escaped, he did not hesitate for long. He immediately mobilized a portion of the Shooting Sound Battalion soldiers and fired a Will Lock Arrow, capturing these escapees instantly.

The entire flying legion was extinguished without even a splash. Although Xinghan also paid the price of a support military soul, the two were completely incomparable.

The departure of the Dijiang Legion at this moment has no impact, since they have already completed what needed to be done.

However, the Qing army's air force was unable to complete even the most basic task of containment.

At the same time, a large group of rat-like soldiers emerged from the rear of the Xinghan army.

But the moment they appeared, they were met with a heavy blow.

Whether it was the flying force or the rat fairy force, they had long been under Xinghan's observation and within their expectations.

Xinghan had already arranged for a corresponding legion to snipe them, just waiting for the moment they jumped out.

The moment the Rat Fairy Legion appeared, the Silver Moon Legion wielded silver blades constructed from moonlight, unleashing a barrage of short- and medium-range attacks. The dim moon arcs, accompanied by sharp whistles, slashed towards the Rat Fairy soldiers.

The silver blade bounced back and forth among the Rat Fairy Legion, instantly unleashing a bloody storm, cutting a large number of Rat Fairies into pieces by this storm-like attack.

Most of them hadn't even realized what was happening before they were sliced ​​into minced meat by a barrage of silver blades.

Although it is as bright as day now, it is actually night, and the time when the Silver Moon Legion is at its strongest.

Realistically speaking, moonlight is a refraction of sunlight, but emotionally, the two are completely different things.

In this world where willpower distorts reality, as long as the soldiers believe it is a moonlit night, they will naturally be able to unleash their strongest fighting power.

This is what is meant by the moonlight in one's heart.

Once you've made up your mind, nothing else matters.

Meanwhile, the Qing army on the front lines finally completed its leap forward.

"Damn it, where are you going?"

Hua Xiong felt uneasy and gathered his legion to bombard the Miracle Eight Banners, only to find that the Miracle Eight Banners had disappeared from the spot in an instant.

As he left, Thurouch gave Hua Xiong a mocking smile.

Hua Xiong and Ma Chao stared at their suddenly vanished opponents, their faces full of confusion. Then, seeing the towering pillar of light rising from the west gate of the imperial city, they instantly understood where the Miracle Eight Banners had gone.

"All troops, listen to my command! Advance at full speed to the west of the city!"

Hua Xiong roared as he gave the order to pursue, a chill running down his spine. He couldn't believe that the Qing army could actually pull off such a feat.

He had already guessed the Qing army's plan, or rather, the Qing army's plan was completely clear to anyone with a brain. Anyone could guess the Qing army's purpose.

They will inevitably commit all their forces to launch a reckless attack on Mu Yi.

"General Hua, I'll take my leave first!"

Ma Chao reacted at that moment, immediately increasing his speed to the maximum, and dashed past the Flying Bear Army in a flash.

Even Ma Chao couldn't laugh at this moment; he knew things had gotten very serious.

Han Xin looked terrible, just as he had expected.

If he hadn't made prior arrangements and immediately communicated his order to mobilize troops to the west gate, commanding all legions to suppress the enemy in front of them and prevent them from leaving,

His legions had long since spiraled out of control, and even now, the officers and soldiers were restless and uneasy.

But at least they redirected their restlessness onto the enemy in front of them.

Their frenzied appearance made Han Xin feel a little scared. If the soldiers before were serious and earnest in their war, then these soldiers now were all madmen.

Despite being outnumbered, they overwhelmed the Qing army in an instant, displaying an air of determination to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The reason for all of this is that Mu Yi's safety was threatened.

On the west side, Chen Gong and the others couldn't quite manage a smile. Previously, the Miracle Eight Banners' situation at the north gate, while frustrating for Zhang Liang, had led them to believe that with First Yellow Heaven present, protecting Mu Yi and breaking through wouldn't be a problem. But now, with the Miracle Eight Banners appearing before them, they were completely unsettled.

The Miracle Legion is only capable of being fought against by the Miracle Legion.

This is a consensus among almost everyone.

What Xinghan didn't expect was that the first to charge was a large chariot legion.

The landing chariot legion instantly created a straight, earthen-yellow road leading directly to the Star River army.

It completely omits the lengthy charging process, maximizing speed to the extreme within an extremely short distance.

This was a tactic that Xinghan had never anticipated. The Qing army landed less than a mile away from Xinghan's main force. At that distance, even cavalry couldn't charge, let alone a chariot legion.

But this legion suddenly surged to its peak.

"Load the crossbow!"

Seeing that the chariots had started up, Guan Cheng roared and gave the order. The chariots were very powerful, but Mu Yi had known for a long time that the Qing army was going to attack him, so he had made many preparations.

Although originally designed to deal with cavalry, thousands of crossbows can now also be used against chariot legions; killing cattle and horses is also a way to stop the chariot legion's charge.

"Fire arrows! Don't let them charge!"

Guan Cheng loudly ordered, "So what if we have chariots? We're not afraid of you! Today we'll stand here and exchange fire with you!"

The first wave of over two thousand crossbow bolts unleashed a barrage of arrows powerful enough to severely injure cattle and horses. However, the distance was simply too short, and before they could fire a second shot, the chariot legion had already reached them.

"Hold the line! We absolutely cannot let them get past!"

Dian Wei roared and led the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion to the front, showing no fear even when facing chariots.

A large number of chariots crashed into the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion. These Imperial Guards, armed with large shields, immediately stood firm, assumed their stances, and prepared to withstand the attack with their bare hands.

However, the Qing army's preparations were no joke. Even Dian Wei, who was defending with all his might, was knocked off balance by the impact.

Some who couldn't stand were knocked to the ground and trampled by cattle and horses, or even run over by wheels.

However, even the most tragically wounded soldiers did not die suddenly. As a highly advanced heavy infantry legion, their resistance to physical attacks was terrifying.

Given the current armor thickness of the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion and their abnormal basic qualities, there is basically no physical attack that can destroy them. In terms of physical defense, the Former Emperor's Guard has reached a level that is almost unbeatable.

Apart from the extremely rare non-willpower type offensive talents like the three-talent-level Convergence Shock and Sonic Pierce, other physical attacks are almost ineffective against them.

Even a tank charge couldn't wipe them out directly.

The fact that they couldn't defeat them didn't mean the chariot legion was meaningless. In other words, the chariot legion was specifically designed by the Qing army to deal with the Yellow Emperor's Son Legion.

As a weapon specifically designed by the Qing army to break through enemy formations, their elite talent framework was designed to disrupt enemy formations; lethality was secondary.

The combination of the Shock Release and Charge ability maximizes the vehicle's short-range impact.

The soldiers of the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion were knocked off their feet, and some were even thrown into the air.

If it weren't for the first wave of crossbow bolts commanded by Guan Cheng that killed a group of cattle and horses, the entire legion might have been scattered.

When the Yellow Heaven's Sons Legion got up from the ground.

The Qing army's top main force followed the path cleared by the chariots, crossing the defensive line and advancing forward.

The soldiers of the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion got up, and within a few steps, they could see almost nothing but enemies.

"Move towards the nearest teammate and launch a counterattack!"

Dian Wei immediately charged forward, smashing the chariot in front of him to pieces with a burst of speed, and then hurled his shield, knocking down another group of soldiers.

The soldiers of the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion got up from the ground and immediately began to counterattack, but the Qing army overwhelmed their defenses like a tide, leaving behind a heavy infantry legion of the Imperial Guard to entangle them.

This legion is the purest defensive legion, and it is perfect for holding back the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion. No matter how fierce the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion is, it has no good way to deal with this legion once it is scattered.

"Impressive technique!" Mu Yi exclaimed in amazement.

Indeed, on the battlefield, no army can rely on a single trick to succeed; the key is to coordinate multiple troop types.

Even the Miracle Legion couldn't easily break through the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion, but a temporary chariot legion and another infantry legion directly overpowered the Yellow Heaven's Son Legion, opening a passage for the legions behind them.

While praising the troops, Mu Yi's hands never stopped moving. He mobilized his army to set up a defensive line, and the troops worked in shifts to cut off the enemy's offensive momentum.

His command ability may not be as good as that of military geniuses, but he has a more convenient command method than they do.

When the Imperial Will is involved in command, he can effectively control the command line of each hundred-man squad.

Although his own skill level is limited, and he can only control a little over a hundred at a time, it is enough for him.

The higher the precision of a large-scale army commander's command, the larger the scale of simultaneous command, and the higher the potential of their own army.
Generally speaking, being able to command around fifty units is considered a very impressive feat for a large army commander.

Mu Yi, a near-military genius, actually lacks only practical experience in a war.

However, due to his status, these experience packs were always given to Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, or Han Xin and others who personally commanded him, and he was always just a little bit short. This time, he finally got a chance and took the opportunity to test his true level.

At this moment, Chen Gong and the others no longer cared about cursing Zhang Liang. The entire strategist group activated their mental link, frantically calculating all the intelligence on the battlefield and then providing it to Mu Yi for command.

With the Imperial Will in his left hand providing command and the Mind Link providing intelligence, the difficulty of Mu Yi commanding the army decreased dramatically.

With the main battlefield in a state of chaos, Mu Yi was indeed a potential threat on the battlefield, but at the same time, his presence was an amplifier of the entire army's will.

It wasn't just the close-range influence of the imperial will, but also the fervor of all the soldiers who were willing to give their lives for Mu Yi.

Especially those Yellow Turban veterans who followed Mu Yi in his entrepreneurial journey, at this point, had completely gone berserk.

This wave of Qing army attacks consisted of legions no less powerful than the top-tier Imperial Guards, yet even so, they were firmly held back by the Xinghan army.

The casualties on both sides skyrocketed, and in just fifteen minutes of fighting, the combined number of soldiers killed on both sides exceeded ten thousand.

These soldiers would be the backbone of any small country or empire, but here they are just cannon fodder at the very bottom.

Even the three-talent legions can barely maintain their own organizational integrity; they cannot guarantee the rest.

Xinghan's counterattack was so terrifying that Huang Taiji wanted to flee at first sight, but he knew very well that retreating now would be tantamount to suicide. (End of Chapter)
