Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 891 The Application of Completely Countered Talents
Chapter 891 The Application of Completely Countered Talents
Despite his unease, Zhang He was confident that his army's destructive power in a direct confrontation was second to none.
Even against those miracle legions, Zhang He dared to lead his super-heavy cavalry to confront them head-on.
The heavy cavalry galloped forward, not fast, but with a different kind of momentum. Unlike the flashy probing of other legions, Zhang He made no unnecessary moves. He gripped his dragon spear tightly, straightened his chest, and crushed towards the opposite side with the momentum of a mountain sweeping across.
The entire legion unleashed its power with abandon. The five thousand-strong legion, at this moment, formed a unified aura, and the legion, as heavy as a mountain, seemed to collapse like a torrent.
The super-heavy cavalry surged up like a tidal wave, billowing and surging as one, charging forward with bloodlust and fighting spirit.
With the charge, the super-heavy cavalry's speed began to soar.
They weigh one ton, wear two hundred kilograms of plate armor, and their shock absorption talent allows them to absorb impacts less than twice their own weight, greatly reducing their burden.
The roaring waves surged toward the Qing army with unstoppable momentum.
However, a large number of spearmen and shieldmen rushed out from the main Qing army. When Zhang He saw these spearmen and shieldmen, his expression changed slightly. His intuition told him that the danger he felt came from these unassuming guys in front of him.
But at this point, Zhang He had no way to turn back. He could only roar and unleash his Legion Talent to deflect the direction of his charge as much as possible.
However, two-thirds of the overweight cavalry still crashed into the spearmen's defensive line.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhang He's legion talent of agility, which allowed him to turn the super-heavy cavalry to some extent, all of them would have crashed into it.
"bump!"
The super-heavy cavalry and the spearmen and shieldmen clashed. Zhang He's ominous premonition came true. At that moment, the super-heavy cavalry was like a wave crashing into a cliff, shattered to pieces.
Even if these spear-and-shield infantry were arrayed, they would not be able to stop the super-heavy cavalry that swept across like mountains.
After all, the impact of super-heavy cavalry can even destroy three talents and military spirits head-on. Few legions can withstand such a purely physical charge.
However, the more unique a legion is, the easier it is to counter it.
Just like the Super Heavy Infantry that was knocked down, the Super Heavy Cavalry also met its nemesis.
The spear-and-shield soldiers who can block the heavy cavalry possess a special defensive talent called Attack Removal.
The value of this talent lies in the fact that when the talent is activated, even if the Miracle Legion attacks with all their might without the Miracle Radiance negating the talent, they will be completely unharmed.
This defensive talent is quite ancient, and the Han Dynasty abandoned it long ago, after all, its shortcomings are obvious.
This attack can only be withstood once. The time required to replenish the defense structure after accumulating enough resistance to the next attack varies from a few minutes to a day, depending on the individual's basic qualities and willpower.
The Han Dynasty also had this thing. It's said that a certain expert created it after analyzing the defensive capabilities of a certain miracle legion. The advantage is obvious: once activated, it can definitely withstand the first attack. The problem is that after withstanding that first attack, the talent becomes useless...
This legion's second talent is shock and recoil, which, when combined, allows them to withstand the initial impact while simultaneously repelling the force of the shock.
This legion completely counters heavy cavalry, or rather, any fast shock cavalry.
The only difference is that the heavy cavalry is more clearly countered.
Can a super-heavy cavalryman who has lost his charging speed still demonstrate unparalleled dominance?
The answer is no. Overweight riders who have lost speed are like lambs to the slaughter.
The heavy cavalry, which had crashed into the line of spearmen and shieldmen, was completely intercepted in a utterly illogical way.
Then, the elite infantry legion hidden behind the spearmen and shieldmen charged out. The heavy cavalry that had been stopped were completely powerless against the elite infantry's surprise attack.
Zhang He watched with a chill run down his spine as the heavily armored knights, having lost speed, were surrounded and slaughtered. He could only try to maneuver and evade the heavy losses of his own heavily armored knights.
Fortunately, he turned at the last moment, and except for the first group of heavy cavalry who could not turn around, all the other soldiers avoided the spearmen and shieldmen and maintained their charging speed.
Even so, they lost nearly a third of their soldiers. This terrible loss pained Zhang He deeply, but at this moment he could only take a detour.
Sun Wu frowned, feeling as if he had been tricked.
The opponent's approach of arbitrarily resetting talents is somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang's approach, and in a sense, it counters him.
If all his subordinates were elites with dual talents, he could counter this by resetting their talents.
However, Zhang He's legions are already fully formed, and it would take a lot of time to even erase their talents, let alone change their talents on the eve of battle.
Sun Tzu's face darkened. To be honest, this kind of opponent should be dealt with by Zhuge Liang, a battle of restraint against restraint.
Bringing him here was just a way to embarrass him, but since he was already in command, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue giving orders.
He had a general idea that the other side had run out of tricks and was starting to use special legions to try and kill them on their first encounter.
This is actually a strategy of using a small amount of capital to achieve a large return, which is enough to show that the opponent is starting to get anxious.
They've even resorted to this kind of tactic. You have to understand, the greatest significance of these special legions is their ability to kill on first encounter. Once their tactics are countered and prevented, they will collapse instantly.
Sun Tzu has now come up with a solution.
Zhang He's special army is temporarily out of the question, but Sun Tzu also had a hexagonal army.
At this point, send out the wolf riders directly.
However, Sun Tzu immediately realized that this was a trap.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou led their cavalry to flank the enemy from both sides. Their cavalry were all orthodox Bingzhou wolf cavalry, suitable for most officers to lead.
But then the Eight Banners cavalry, who emerged from the Qing army, charged forward.
The double-talented wolf riders were naturally outmatched by the Imperial Guards' Eight Banners cavalry, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou could only fight and retreat, their offensive completely neutralized.
The all-rounder can indeed handle most situations, but it has no way of dealing with a larger version of the all-rounder.
Sun Tzu realized that the other side was doing this just to annoy him.
Sun Wu quickly surveyed his legions, then sent out the Vanguard and the Crimson Blood Guard. At this moment, he had to unleash a burst of energy to suppress the enemy's momentum.
The vanguard of death soldiers made a fierce entrance and unleashed a torrent of arrows at the spearmen and shieldmen who had just outmaneuvered the heavy cavalry. After the first wave of arrows burst forth, the entire spearmen and shieldmen legion was riddled with holes.
Even if they could withstand the first hit, so what? The arrow torrent of the vanguard was numbered in the six figures, and a single burst turned the spearmen and shieldmen into sieves.
Following closely behind, waves of Crimson Blood Guard's killing clones charged towards the Qing army. These special illusory warriors were the best expendable resources, and also the most useful cannon fodder for dealing with newly encountered opponents. Under the overwhelming charge of the Crimson Blood Guard, a special legion was indeed wiped out.
The talent framework consists of Natural Mimicry and Being Witnessed. The combined effect of these two talents is truly astonishing. You won't notice it unless you look closely, but if you do, you'll be attacked.
The effect of the natural mimicry talent is that one's will gradually harmonizes with the natural environment, thereby gaining external support.
It is the most suitable talent for ambushes because after one's own will and the surrounding environment are in harmony, one will not only be less likely to be observed, but will also continuously accumulate power.
However, this power, like the attack debuff, is a one-time event. Once you make a move, you will destroy the natural mimicry, so the moment you make your move will be the strongest attack.
Another talent, once witnessed and seen, directly unleashes a mental shock on the target!
This talent is incredibly powerful because the eyes are the windows to the soul. When you see the opponent, they follow your gaze and launch a mental attack, dealing extremely high damage at the same level.
The combination of the two is equivalent to accumulating strength for a mental assault.
Moreover, it doesn't ruin the mimicry effect, making it a mobile turret.
Even a three-talent legion might suffer a great loss if it encounters this legion.
However, this combination of talents is completely useless against the Crimson Blood Guard.
The Crimson Blood Guard's killing clones don't rely on their eyes to fight, so when the Mimic Legion encounters one of the Crimson Blood Guard's killing clones, it's like a scholar encountering a soldier—they can't even reason with each other.
One of their talents was completely wasted. A perfectly good initial killing legion was wiped out by the sheer number of killing clones.
After all, without the talent effect, the Mimic Legion is no different from a blank double talent. The Crimson Blood Guard's Killing Clone is at least at the level of the Imperial Guard. Even the weakest Imperial Guard is still very valuable.
However, the Killing Clone is definitely not as good as a normal soldier. Against dual talents, it's about a 1-for-3 or 1-for-4 exchange.
However, the Killing Clone is itself a type of Illusionary Warrior, and even if it is special, it can be considered a costless consumption.
However, the Mimic Legion and the Killing Clone were evenly matched when they fought.
After nearly five thousand of the killing clones died, the three thousand members of the mimicry army were successfully sent away.
The Qing army was naturally furious and anxious, but facing the endless stream of killing clones, the initial killing of the legion was meaningless. So just as they were about to use archers to deal with the Crimson Blood Guard's main body...
Xinghan's attack arrived a step ahead of time. Sun Wu had anticipated the enemy's command and, the instant the enemy's cloud formation shifted, determined the archers' location. Without hesitation, he ordered the Changshui Camp to suppress them in advance.
The effect was outstanding. The Qing army's archers were taken down by the Changshui Battalion without even making a splash. Although the first shot was a controlled arrow, every subsequent shot was an explosive arrow.
The Qing army had no other choice but to send out the Eight Banners cavalry in an attempt to forcefully break through in conjunction with tens of thousands of dragon-headed monster infantry.
As the dragon-headed monster swept through, it was stopped by the unshakeable city wall.
The Imperial Guards of the Original Forging Emperor were locked in a fierce battle with these monsters. The problem of the Overweight Step did not exist for the Imperial Guards of the Original Forging Emperor; they were not burdened by the resurrection talent, so they were not afraid of will attacks at all.
Unfortunately, the Eight Banners cavalry crossed the defensive line set up by Sun Tzu, and their speed increased noticeably and strangely.
Knowing that the other side had started cheating again, Sun Wu could only grimly order the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to surround and block them.
Gao Shun led the Trapped Camp and the main force of the Wolf Cavalry to block the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but apart from the Trapped Camp, the rest of the Wolf Cavalry were in a very bad situation.
The main force of the Wolf Riders had been taken to the other side by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. Now, only the double-talented and Imperial Guards remained here, and they were having a very difficult time fighting against the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry with the triple-talented and Imperial Guards.
"I am determined to fight to the death!" Gao Shun roared. He couldn't remember the last time he had been so completely suppressed.
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"
At that moment, the roar of the Trapped Camp was comparable to thunder, and its momentum was no less than the surging Yangtze River. With an indomitable spirit, they charged towards the Eight Banners cavalry.
The dark-colored wolf riders galloped up, their surging momentum even making the opposing Eight Banners cavalry tremble with fear. With their military spirit fully unleashed, the Trapped Camp instantly gained a bonus to the entire army.
The entire army plus one, although it can't reach the level of the First Yellow Heaven.
Even when trapped in a battle formation, all members can still achieve a state where their internal energy is fully formed and some of their internal energy leaves their bodies.
In this state, they are capable of fighting the Miracle Legion.
"Die!" Gao Shun thrust his spear through the Qing army centurion opposite him, then the spear transformed into a blade and sliced another Qing soldier in half diagonally, blood splattering out.
Blood and stinging pain filled the air as the Eight Banners cavalry roared in fury. They were the most perfect cavalry, and they could not tolerate being suppressed by a legion of the same rank.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
As the proud cavalry of the Qing court, they also possessed their own pride and courage.
With roars, the Eight Banners cavalry charged towards the Trapped Camp!
In the next instant, blood spurted out as the soldiers of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry attacked each other frantically, with a large number of soldiers falling on both sides.
Gao Shun was filled with resentment. The Trapped Camp had not lost, and even had a slight advantage, but the Wolf Riders had lost.
The average level of the Eight Banners cavalry was significantly higher than that of the Wolf Cavalry, so much so that before the central Trapped Camp had collapsed, the Wolf Cavalry behind it had already been scattered and killed.
It's the kind of situation where morale hasn't collapsed yet, but the formation has been forcibly broken up.
Faced with this situation, Sun Tzu was helpless. With everyone gone, no matter how miraculous his command and control were, it was useless.
With the wolf cavalry routed, Sun Tzu had no choice but to reposition the battle lines and release the main Qing army force from its confinement.
It all started because they were tricked by the First Encounter Killing Legion and the collapse of the Super Heavy Step.
Sun Tzu, somewhat annoyed, ordered his soldiers to cut off the Qing army's escape route and mobilized the entire army to completely annihilate this part of the Qing army.
But even so, it was to no avail, and the Qing army that was supposed to support Huang Taiji still managed to break through.
This gave Sun Tzu a major headache, because he was about to face a pincer attack. This wave was definitely not the limit of the Qing army, which meant that there would be another wave of Qing troops rushing out.
Sun Wu took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and began to adjust the talent framework of his army. In order to prevent the Qing army from continuing to play this shameless first-encounter kill game, he needed to adjust the talent framework.
He also asked Bai Qi to send another batch of reinforcements, as he couldn't control the situation with his current numbers and needed more troops.
If the opponent plays a shameless talent counter, then he needs to let the opponent know that talent counters only work once.
