Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"Got you!"

Through continuous probing, Sun Tzu located Huang Taiji's position.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately issued the order, instructing the archers of the Shooting Sound Battalion to bombard the ground from an extremely long distance.

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers of the Shooting Battalion released their fingers, and the bowstrings rang out like muffled thunder!

"Boom!" A large explosion occurred as the Shooting Battalion used specially made arrows, which carried the unique explosive effect of the Long River.

Moreover, unlike the turbulent clouds and mist of the Changshui River, this is more direct; the arrows that are shot out explode!
This is an explosive arrow developed by Huang Tianji using her elite talent of using the Long Water technique to accumulate power for explosive attacks. It has an explosive effect on its own, and its destructive power is even greater than that of the Long Water technique in terms of physical strength.

"Wait, this is actually a fake target!"

After the bombing, Sun Tzu saw that the enemy's command and dispatch were uninterrupted, and he knew that the enemy had played a trick and directly deceived his judgment.

Fortunately, he only ordered the Shooting Battalion to fire tentatively; otherwise, this wave would have directly resulted in the loss of 5,000 combat troops.

Even though it was a probing attack, the explosive arrows still managed to completely disrupt the Qing soldiers' organization at the point of impact.

At the same time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with exceptionally clear minds, led their cavalry in a wedge formation, charging forward and bypassing their own defenses to launch a surprise attack on the Qing army.

Although neither of them were skilled in troop deployment, they were still exceptional generals. They both knew that the enemy would be in complete chaos after this wave of explosive attacks, so they launched a surprise attack, determined not to give the enemy any way out!
This was also the task Sun Tzu assigned them: to launch an immediate attack as soon as they discovered any instability on the enemy's front lines.

By the time Sun Tzu recovered from the shock of his misjudgment, Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already crossed the battle line.

"Damn it!" Sun Wu thought to himself, this was bad. This move was supposed to be a fatal blow against Huang Taiji, but the other party misled his judgment. This move might be a trap.

As expected, just as Yan Liang and Wen Chou charged into the enemy ranks and scattered the enemy, the Eight Banners cavalry cut off their retreat.

Several Manchu cavalrymen surrounded Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou felt immense pressure instantly; they hadn't expected to be blocked by multiple three-talent legions.

The cavalry under their command had just reached the threshold of the Imperial Guard and were considered the backbone of this battlefield.

They were capable of fighting any opponent, but now they faced the Eight Banners cavalry.

The Eight Banners cavalry was very strong, even extremely strong.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou only broke down for a moment before regaining their fighting spirit; anything can happen on the battlefield.

Sometimes, the only option is to fight tooth and nail.

Now that we've met on a narrow path, there's no escaping it, so we have to fight it out.

The Eight Banners cavalry are human, and so are they; what is there to fear?

"kill!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou gritted their teeth and fought fiercely against the large Qing cavalry force.

With the Eight Banners cavalry eyeing them menacingly, the infantry's defensive line dared not vacate their positions to allow Yan Liang and Wen Chou to return.

If they move their positions, the first to rush in will definitely be the Eight Banners cavalry, not Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Why did I make a misjudgment?

At this moment, Sun Wu was completely baffled. He was hiding under the double protection of Sima Yi and the isolation, so how could he have fallen into a trap?

He couldn't possibly have made a mistake in his judgment.

The location he identified was definitely the center of command, but the problem was that the Shooting Battalion's bombardment hadn't found anything at all.

Even if the enemy retreats for only a moment, the command and dispatch should fluctuate.

But when Sun Wu was fighting the opponent in command, the opponent didn't even flinch when attacked.

Either he went in the wrong direction, or the other side was able to withstand the rain of arrows without flinching.

But whether it was the former or the latter, Sun Tzu felt it was unrealistic.

If his understanding of command and dispatch is flawed, then the entire world's command and dispatch system is flawed.

Sun Tzu was absolutely certain that he could say this, which was both his pride and his confidence in his own abilities.

However, Sun Tzu could not continue to think at this point. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were very determined, they were badly beaten when faced with the encirclement and suppression of the three-talented Eight Banners cavalry.

"That's it? Give me another one!"

Yan Liang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the Eight Banners cavalry centurion who had fallen at his feet.

There's not much to say; his personal bravery became the belief that sustained them in their fight.

Yan Liang knew that he already had several wounds on his body, and if no one rescued them, they would really die here.

As cavalrymen tasked with high-speed assaults, they knew they were likely doomed when they were surrounded.

"Alas! I was just one move behind!"

Sun Tzu sighed. He couldn't just watch Yan Liang and Wen Chou be slaughtered by the enemy.

That's tens of thousands of cavalry, and they're in danger because of his misjudgment. No matter what, he has to clean up this mess.

"Shooting Sound Battalion!" Sun Wu gave the order, and the soldiers of the Shooting Sound Battalion raised their bows and arrows once again. This time, they used armor-piercing arrows and aimed them at the Eight Banners cavalry blocking Yan Liang and Wen Chou's path.

Using explosive arrows would indeed be more effective, but in that case, even Yan Liang and Wen Chou might be buried in the process.

They were, after all, two renowned and fierce generals; keeping them around would be useful in the future.

Although at Sun Tzu's level, fierce generals are insignificant, they can still create some command advantages for them in local battles.

"collapse!"

The soldiers of the Shooting Battalion unleashed their ultimate arrows at their peak performance.

Thousands of arrows transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the Eight Banners cavalry, their powerful force completely exceeding the defensive limits of the Eight Banners cavalry.

The two archery battalions that Sun Wu held in his hands were archery battalions that had already surpassed their limits; they were genuine three-talent archers.

When facing opponents of the same level, the destructive power of the Shooting Battalion is beyond question. Even the Eight Banners cavalry, unless they are strong enough to deflect the arrows, will be pierced through by a single arrow.

Ordinary parries cannot deflect the arrows of the Shooting Camp. The moment they make contact, the Arrow of Will has already begun its attack. If you are even slightly distracted, the arrow will pierce your body directly.

A volley of arrows rained down, and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry soldiers who were not strong enough all fell down like wheat being harvested.

Even the elite Eight Banners cavalry, when hit, were pulverized as if struck by machine gun fire. The next moment, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, having received their orders, led the remaining cavalry back to their own lines through the blood and gore crushed by the arrows rained down by the Archer Camp.

At this time, the Eight Banners cavalry also received orders to relentlessly pursue Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops, intending to use this as a breakthrough point to breach the infantry's defenses.

Sun Wu waved his hand expressionlessly, and the last soldiers of the Archery Battalion drew their bows and fired arrows. The explosive force wiped out all the pursuers behind Yan Liang and Wen Chou in an instant, clearing a large blank area.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou fled back into the great formation. Even with their two full-strength legions combined, they still couldn't form a full-strength army.

Meanwhile, the Eight Banners cavalry behind them suffered heavy casualties, losing almost the same number of men.

Sun Wu solemnly settled the Archery Camp, which meant he now had fewer cards to play.

Although exchanging the Shooting Battalion for the Eight Banners cavalry was a decent deal, he had undeniably lost the initiative.

After the Shooting Battalion completely fell silent, Huang Taiji, whom Sun Wu had been searching for but could not find, appeared from among the Qing army.

"They really can monitor our side!"

Sima Yi looked terrible. Although he didn't know if Sun Wu could win now, he was certain that Huang Taiji's proactive appearance meant that the other side had a way to observe them.

Although it should be an incomplete observation, it is still a problem.

He had previously thought Sun Tzu was a bit too cautious, but now he realized that Sun Tzu truly had foresight.

The other party does indeed possess some means to influence them, a means that is completely unknown and impossible to defend against. Sun Tzu was caught off guard last time without anyone noticing.

"Why did the enemy's attack suddenly become so fierce?" Sun Wu frowned. The moment Huang Taiji appeared, he realized that his previous judgment was indeed wrong.

The location where Huang Taiji emerged was completely different from the location he had predicted.

But the next moment, Sun Tzu was confused again. The Qing army began a fierce bombardment, but this time the intensity of command and control was on a completely different level.

It's as if Huang Taiji hadn't tried his best at all before.

"Sun Tzu, are there two military geniuses on the other side?"

Sima Yi felt immense pressure, and he realized that the intensity of the enemy's attacks was somewhat unusual.

As a commander of a large army that had been ravaged by the God of War many times, he could naturally see some problems at this moment.

Sun Tzu, who had been stuck in a rut, suddenly had a breakthrough after Sima Yi's words. He realized that if there were two military geniuses on the other side, then everything that had happened before would make sense.

Sun Wu carefully analyzed the situation with the answer in mind. Although the opposing command styles were very consistent and followed the same lineage, the two command styles were still different.

"So, the one who misled me was Nurhaci." Sun Wu finally understood why the attack from the Shooting Sound Battalion had no effect.

The other side was not on the same level as them from the beginning, so they could completely ignore the threat of the Sonic Battalion and thus mislead their judgment.

He had a preconceived notion that the Qing army was led by Huang Taiji, but he did not expect that Nurhaci had been in command from the very beginning.

The opposing side had already joined up with Huang Taiji during their first breakout attempt, and managed to deceive everyone right under their noses.

The other party deliberately refrained from using Imperial Will to prevent him from noticing something was amiss.

"This is bad!" Sun Wu knew he had stepped into a huge pit, so he could only send out a distress signal into the sky and then place his heavy footwork on the spot where the enemy's attack was most intense.

In just a quarter of an hour, the defensive line was already on the verge of collapse, and Sun Tzu had no choice but to send Gao Shun with the Trapped Camp to attack.

"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"

The sudden burst of enemy troops barely managed to suppress the Qing army's offensive.

But the next moment, the Miracle Eight Banners that emerged from the Qing army made Sun Wu's face darken.

Sun Tzu was well aware of the trouble that would ensue if two military geniuses were to hold off the enemy head-on while a miraculous legion led a flanking maneuver.

"Sima Yi, use your spiritual talent on this area!" Sun Wu grabbed Sima Yi and ordered him to use his spiritual talent according to his command.

Although Sima Yi did not know what Sun Wu was going to do, he still obediently did as he was told. The next moment, Sima Yi felt that his spiritual talent had collided with something.

"Pfft~" Sima Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He finally knew what was on the other side and where the second war god came from.

The intense mental backlash nearly caused Sima Yi to faint.

"Well done! Sima Yi, you were born for this!"

Sun Tzu praised Sima Yi for his great efforts, saying that although Sima Yi's mental talent had not directly killed Nurhaci, it had clearly affected the other side as well.

Since it does not appear in its original form, it is naturally influenced by Sima Yi's spiritual talent.

Sima Yi nearly fainted, and Nurhaci's projection seemed to have its source cut off, almost shattering and disappearing on the battlefield.

Without Nurhaci's command, the army was instantly exposed by Sun Tzu's offensive, allowing Sun Tzu to free up as many troops as possible to deal with the Miracle Legion that had already penetrated to his flank.

"This is bad, we're running out of time..."

Sun Tzu surveyed the battlefield and found that only Ma Chao was capable of stepping up, so he immediately removed Ma Chao from the front lines.

"The Miracle Legion?" Ma Chao felt no fear upon hearing his mission; only excitement.

Without any further ado, Ma Chao accepted the order.

"Follow me!" Ma Chao, spear in hand, spurred his horse and charged straight at the Miracle Eight Banners. So what if they're Miracles? A mere two thousand Miracles? Watch how I kill you.

Last time we fought Miracle Eight Banners to a draw, this time we'll wipe you out!

Ma Chao had never seen such a weak Miracle Legion before. Although the Miracle Eight Banners used the three-talent Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to replenish their troops, there were very few that met the Miracle level.

They barely had two thousand men, while Ma Chao still had four thousand. In the last surprise attack, Ma Chao proudly achieved a one-for-one exchange, so much so that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry had no respect for miracles.

No questions asked, let's take you down today. Whether we can achieve a miracle depends on this one wave.

The Miracle Eight Banners did not dodge and charged directly towards Ma Chao. The two terrifying auras collided directly. Both sides felt each other's resolve and power, but without saying a word, they launched another attack on each other.

The clang of metal on metal, the neighing of warhorses—two cavalry legions, like a surging torrent, clashed head-on. Dodge, parry—there was no room for it.

The soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners gripped their spears tightly with both hands and thrust them at the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry with the utmost precision.

They also recognized Ma Chao. Last time, they were held back by Fei Xiong, allowing Ma Chao to seize the opportunity and launch a charge that resulted in a one-for-one exchange with them, which was a disgrace to the Miracle Eight Banners.

This time, they will avenge their previous defeat. (End of Chapter)
