Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 892 Bloody Battle

What is Sun Tzu doing?

Han Xin looked at the battle report that had been sent to him with some dissatisfaction.

"Has someone manipulated his mental abilities and made him stupid? How could he be in such a state!"

Sun Tzu not only failed to stop the Qing army's reinforcements, but also suffered heavy losses. Han Xin thought that Sun Tzu must have been demoted in intelligence.

"Lord Huaiyin, do not underestimate the Qing court. In this region, they may be able to achieve whatever they desire!" Zhang Liang looked at the battle report in his hand with a solemn expression.

"You mean they've secured a sure-fire victory?" Han Xin raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding Zhang Liang's meaning.

"It is very likely that Sima Yi and his team have reached a new stage in their research on this area!"

Zhang Liang produced a intelligence report, which was a research report by Sima Yi and Xu Shu, detailing the actual situation of the ancestral homeland of the Qing Dynasty under various circumstances.

Han Xin glanced at it, his brows furrowing. The principle behind this thing should be that willpower distorts reality, but such a large-scale distortion of reality requires enough willpower to drain several Miracle Legions dry.

But judging from Sun Tzu's performance, this thing seems to be real.

Han Xin genuinely didn't believe that Sun Wu would be tricked by a group of newbie killers.

The problem is that Sun Wu was really tricked. You can't say that people don't make mistakes, but Han Xin felt that he wouldn't make such a big mistake in this regard.

Han Xin believed that since he himself did not know it, then Sun Wu, whom he acknowledged, naturally did not know it either.

After much deliberation, Han Xin decided to believe that Sun Wu had been influenced.

"Shouldn't it be about using the imperial will to push things towards the future they want to see?"

"It's alright, I'll stay grounded in reality when the time comes, which is why I came here this time!"

Mu Yi tossed the intelligence report onto the table, unconcerned about Qing Ting's petty actions.

Sun Tzu was probably tricked, but the Qing court was indeed at its wit's end, resorting to such methods.

They probably wanted to take advantage of the time when they could still control their will and strengthen their own side's advantage by controlling any excess will.

However, such scheming is ultimately just a small-scale operation.

Once he arrives with his army, anchoring reality with the existence of the Star Han Empire, even if the Qing court wants to overthrow the dynasty, it can only rely on its own military might.

Just as the Tenth Knight was unable to use his will to distort and change the reality of Caesar's death, which was anchored by the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

No matter how fancy the mechanisms are, in the end it all comes down to numbers.

"Sun Tzu's forces may not be able to stop the Qing army, and Bai Qi's forces are unlikely to provide much support to Sun Tzu!"

"Keep as many as you can. If you can't stop them, let them pass, and we'll encircle and annihilate them!" Han Xin gritted his teeth and made a decision.

When encircling and annihilating enemies, command would be transferred to Bai Qi, which was somewhat unpleasant for Han Xin. However, from a realistic point of view, Bai Qi was indeed stronger than Han Xin in encirclement and annihilation battles.

Although Han Xin did not admit that Bai Qi was more capable than him, he had to admit that Bai Qi was superior in terms of encirclement and annihilation.

He still doesn't understand why Bai Qi was able to completely surround the enemy with the same number of troops.

"Send out all the cavalry in our army to provide advance support to Sun Tzu's side and strengthen the interception efforts as much as possible!"

Seeing that Han Xin had made a decision, Mu Yi adopted Han Xin's suggestion.

They really wanted to annihilate Huang Taiji's main force in one fell swoop, but since that was impossible, they decided to settle for second best.

It must be admitted that Huang Taiji's feint attack changed the situation to some extent. Although the overall situation was still in Xinghan's hands, the possibility of the Qing court breaking through the siege was much higher.

Just as Jia Xu worried when Mu Yi personally led the expedition, Mu Yi's existence was both an advantage and a disadvantage, a difficult double-edged sword to use.

The advantages and disadvantages are now obvious, and no one knows how to react.

"Can the Heavenly Boat transport all of our Imperial Guards over here?" Han Xin asked suddenly, stroking his chin.

"We probably have enough time, but without infantry, our suppressive power might not be enough! The enemy might very well turn their guns on us first!"

"That's why I was referring to the Emperor's Imperial Guards. Transport these guys over there to help Sun Wu stabilize the front lines as much as possible." Han Xin stroked his chin, but Huang Taiji was a formidable opponent.

After all that effort, the enemy is just one step away from victory. Their offensive will be incredibly fierce, and without infantry, it will be impossible to stop their advance.

However, if they simply hand over the Emperor's Guards to Sun Wu and maintain a show of force, the enemy will definitely not attempt to break through from their side.

“Theoretically, it’s possible. Are you sure you want to do this?” Zhang Liang assessed the situation and then said with a rather solemn expression.

"I am confident that I can stop the enemy with infantry!" Han Xin waved his hand.

“Compared to me, Sun Wu’s side doesn’t have the Emperor’s protection and is very likely to be affected again. Sending more of the Emperor’s guards there will make the situation more stable.”

“Yes! Placing the Emperor’s Imperial Guard in the same position as Sun Tzu would be more suitable!” Mu Yi also agreed with Han Xin’s point of view.

For them right now, Sun Tzu's side is the most dangerous.

It was destined to be attacked from both sides. If more imperial guards could be sent over, it would greatly solidify Sun Tzu's defenses.

"Isn't Houtu's army under Sun Tzu's command? Why didn't they make a move?" Mu Yi suddenly remembered something and asked.

"The Houtu Legion has been transferred by Lord Wu'an and is carrying out civil engineering work on the west side of the encirclement. It seems they intend to build watchtowers to deal with a possible breakout by the Qing army." Zhang Liang pulled out a piece of intelligence from his intelligence files and handed it to Mu Yi for review.

Mu Yi opened Huang Tianji's real-time map and found the location of Houtu Legion. According to Huang Tianji's intelligence summary, Houtu Legion seems to have built an earthen Great Wall in the west.

"This……"

Mu Yi scratched his head. Would the Qing army really bite the bullet and break out from that side?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Such a massive army traveling from the northern grasslands to Eastern Europe without a portal would be a complete fantasy.

At that time, by harassing the Qing army along the way with cavalry, they will be driven to the brink of collapse.

The only way out from the other side was to cross the Bering Strait to the west and then go to the Americas.

After finalizing the plan, both sides began intensive mobilization.

The Qing army acted swiftly. Just as Mu Yi and his men completed their mobilization, the Qing army began to attack Sun Wu's defenses.

It would take Han Xin's army at least half a day to arrive, meaning Sun Wu would need to hold out for half a day.

At this point, day and night had lost their meaning for either side; there was more than one "sun" hanging in the sky, and the entire battlefield was bathed in light.

Sun Tzu deployed a butterfly formation, with a goose formation at the front and back, to simultaneously defend against attacks from both directions. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Sima Yi wore a bitter expression. Bai Qi and Han Xin had similar judgments, both feeling that Sun Tzu's performance was affected by the Qing court's influence.

So this time, Bai Qi sent reinforcements and Sima Yi along with them.

Sun Tzu created an isolation formation, trapping him and Sima Yi inside. Sima Yi then used his spiritual talent to seal them off within the formation's perimeter.

Sima Yi thought the plan was really unreliable, but Sun Wu's eyes widened when he heard Sima Yi's question.

Sima Yi felt the pressure and had no choice but to activate his spiritual talent as Sun Tzu ordered.

His spiritual talent might not be able to diminish the power of the Qing Dynasty's ancestral lands, but he could certainly act as a mediator to completely eliminate the reality distorted by the Qing army.

Sun Tzu examined it but still couldn't detect any difference.

He didn't know from what angle this influence originated, but he was certain that he was now completely unaffected by the other side.

The double isolation ensures that nothing on the other side can affect his judgment.

At that very moment, the Qing army launched its attack.

"The heavy infantry will strike first, and the left and right flanks will press forward after engagement. The vanguard should prepare for a massive ground attack!"

"Have Zhang He prepare to charge. This time, I will have the Changshui Battalion cooperate with him so that he can seize the opportunity!"

Sun Tzu directed his army, and the already tight battle lines underwent further changes.

Although Sun Tzu preserved his integrity by isolating himself from all external forces, the extremely strict precautions also isolated him from all his own support, and his command style in its original state became somewhat rusty.

Accustomed to using light and shadow and mental techniques to command, Sun Wu was a little unaccustomed to suddenly reverting to the primitive state, and the coordination was somewhat chaotic, but he quickly regained his original rhythm.

While secret techniques are certainly convenient, one can still command with a command flag even without them.

Moreover, it was only Sun Wu who isolated the influence; the external communication system remained active, only now there was a layer separating Sun Wu from the communication system.

Leading the charge are still the super-heavy infantry. Although this legion is countered by special legions, their characteristics mean that they can maintain their formation even when countered.

Even if someone pushes you over, you can still get up from the ground.

This sacrificial tactic helps the army detect problems immediately.

Although the Emperor's guards are tougher and more resilient, they are still somewhat vulnerable to the killing army at first sight. Therefore, testing the waters first is a rather conservative command method.

Even if the other side pulls some unexpected tricks, he can find a way to use his legion to stop their offensive as soon as possible.

For a military genius like Sun Tzu, suffering a loss once is enough.

"Red Blood Guards, prepare to unleash your killing clones. If any enemy legion breaches the first or second line of defense, immediately launch a full-scale suppression!" Sun Wu quickly deployed three lines of defense.

Using the Phantom Soldier to gradually limit the opponent's offensive is pointless; it's pointless to fight to the death with the opponent. However, if you can use the Phantom Soldier to exchange kills with the opponent, then you'll definitely gain an advantage.

Especially for opponents who can break through the first two lines of defense, it's certain that all initial attacks have been eliminated.

The illusionary soldiers then have meaning.

However, after the first wave of Qing heavy infantry rushed up, Sun Tzu realized that the enemy had changed their tactics to annoy him this time.

The opposing team must have seen his team's composition and immediately rolled a bunch of new talents to annoy him.

The combination of power differentiation and power integration completely counters the Super Heavy Step.

Most heavy infantry are high in defense but low in attack, and super-heavy infantry are no exception; the attack strength of this legion itself is not high.

Faced with this legion that combines offense and defense, the heavy infantry was completely helpless, as the enemy's talent structure was basically enough to withstand most heavy infantry attacks.

Even the Emperor's personal guards were somewhat countered by this talent.

By absorbing the impact and reflecting various attacks, it can ensure that its killing power is stronger than any heavy infantry of the same level, thus forming a damnable situation where the opponent cannot break its defense, while it can break the opponent's defense.

The super-heavy infantry is capable of facing any opponent above its limit, but this is the first time I've encountered such heavy infantry that I can't fight head-on.

There's no way around it; both are heavy infantry, and this framework is designed to counter heavy infantry.

It's a talent framework that the Qing army created entirely to annoy the heavy infantry on Xinghan's side.

The super-heavy infantry and the Emperor's Guard can be considered the two extremes of heavy infantry, but they are still within the range of being countered by the opposing legion.

This legion might struggle to fully divide its forces when fighting other legions, and the combined forces might be unable to break through their defenses. However, when fighting heavy infantry, it's a piece of cake.

In particular, the heavy-footed movement was completely suppressed.

The Emperor's Guards could still struggle a bit with their raw strength, but the Heavy Infantry were truly helpless and could only risk their lives to withstand the attacks.

Moreover, the Qing army also formed a new legion with the talent framework of Shock Cut and Steel Body, which is also a talent framework that bullies heavy infantry.

Two groups of soldiers engaged the heavy infantry, while the rest of the Qing troops bypassed the heavy infantry's defenses and rushed towards the second line.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gao Lan was already being beaten down. However, even when he was being beaten down, Gao Lan still led his heavy infantry to relentlessly pursue the two opposing legions.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the two opposing legions went all out to annihilate the heavy infantry. The three legions fought a bloodbath, and the heavy infantry suffered heavy casualties. However, the heavy infantry had a lot of lives, and they would get up and continue fighting after they died.

All three sides found the other side disgusting, but when it came to being disgusting, the heavy infantry was still superior. Despite being at a complete disadvantage, they still managed to hold onto the two opposing legions by relying on their legion characteristics.

Just as the heavy infantry blocked the two opposing legions and the other legions circled around to reach the Emperor's Imperial Guards, the Changshui Camp made its move.

This time, Changshui Camp had only one strategy: to cleanse the area.

In a completely overwhelming manner, deliver a devastating arrow to all Qing army corps.

With a heavy explosion, thousands of arrows fell into the Qing army's formation. In one wave of bombardment, the Qing army suffered very few casualties.

However, Sun Tzu astutely observed that the morale of a portion of the Qing army was suddenly and significantly reduced after the bombing.

Clearly, the talent composition of these Qing soldiers was problematic.

"There is indeed something fishy!"

Sun Tzu coldly ordered the Changshui Battalion to bombard the enemy again, not to inflict casualties, but mainly to filter out all the legions that were initially targeted for killing.

The archery battalion here is ready to fire, and no matter how fancy the legion is, they will all be shot down with a single arrow.
