Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 896 Ma Chao's Awakening

The Miracle Eight Banners knew that their defenses would be at their strongest when the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry charged, but they still charged towards the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry without wavering.

Sparks flew as the soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners cavalry at the forefront, gripping their spears, pierced the Liangzhou cavalry, instantly disintegrating their bodies.

Behind him, the Miracle Eight Banners soldiers grinned and unleashed an attack with their heavy scimitars that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry could not dodge, just before the blades fell.

The Eight Banners cavalry behind them raised their hands and fired thousands of arrows, covering the Liangzhou cavalry. These arrows were all imbued with a special power.

Their effect is simple: forced knockback. This effect is basically only a control effect and has no offensive capability.

Ma Chao's expression changed drastically; the moment he deflected the arrow, he sensed danger.

The Liangzhou cavalry were not afraid of powerful arrows.

However, this control over arrows was the most fatal blow to the Liangzhou cavalry, whose offensive and defensive strengths were basically derived from their speed.

Now, these knockback arrows, upon striking them, forcefully thwarted their speed to its absolute limit.

For the Liangzhou cavalry, this was practically a death sentence.

There are very few legions in the world capable of achieving this kind of coordination, and the Eight Banners cavalry, whose skills have reached the pinnacle, are just the right ones to do it.

The triple offensive relentlessly bombarded the Liangzhou cavalry.

The first layer ensures that the Liangzhou cavalry loses its balance, the second layer weakens their defenses, and the third layer delivers a direct and decisive blow.

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry didn't even have a chance to start over. When their defenses were at their weakest, they were struck hard by the swords of the Miracle Eight Banners.

A single, fatal blow—that was the power of the Eight Banners cavalry.

Once they've learned their lesson, they quickly find a way to deal with it. As long as there's even a hint of opportunism involved, the Eight Banners cavalry will find a weakness in them.

Furthermore, the Miracle Eight Banners can target any non-Miracle Legion.

However, the Liangzhou cavalry were not afraid at all. The soldier who was cut by the sword, in the instant of death, burst out with his strength to the extreme, and with the last strength of his life, he thrust out his last spear.

Even if it means death, we will take a piece of your flesh. They are from Liangzhou, and are the three-time Liangzhou Iron Cavalry. They are not afraid of any challenge.

I'd like to see just how invincible you really are.

A classic tactic of charging and flanking, the cavalry charged forward, and the two sides instantly erupted into a brutal bloodbath. This frenzy made the onlookers nearby shudder.

Whichever one it is, they are all exceptionally strong.

Huang Taiji's expression was somewhat solemn. The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was not defeated in one fell swoop as expected. On the contrary, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry showed a thorough resistance despite being targeted.

"Die!"

As Ma Chao charged into the ranks of the Miracle Eight Banners, he dodged the opponent's thrusting spear with astonishing reflexes. Using the momentum of his horse, he swung the spear and sent his opponent flying.

Wild, domineering, and ruthless—this is the power that Ma Chao unleashed. As a high-speed cavalryman, Ma Chao displayed perfection at this moment.

By combining the strength of the Iron Cavalry, leading the charge and fighting at the forefront, with the exquisite skill of the Wolf Cavalry's flanking maneuvers, it is clear that Ma Chao has found his own path.

"Get out of the way!" Ma Chao roared as he swept away Tulush, who was charging towards him, and the Qing army troops who were flanking him.

Fierce and savage, despite the fact that neither his own strength nor that of his personal guards was enough to overwhelm the enemy under the influence of the clouds, the aura he exuded firmly suppressed the Qing army.

The next moment, Ma Chao's displayed abilities caused Huang Taiji's expression to change slightly.

Having risen from the bottom with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and been ravaged by several military geniuses, Ma Chao had long since been transformed. After clashing with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, leaving behind a trail of corpses, he did not linger at all, but moved like a dragon through the weak points of the Qing army.

Without needing to think or judge, Ma Chao could sense the correct path for himself simply by scanning the air.

Although Sun Tzu provided assistance, Ma Chao relied more on his own understanding and judgment of infiltration, as well as the intuition brought by the divine will.

Ma Chao knew very well that he couldn't defeat the opposing Miracle Eight Banners and Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

This is true. After the first wave of flanking maneuvers, the Liangzhou cavalry suffered at least 800 dead, while the opposing side lost less than 200, most of whom were Eight Banners cavalry.

After the Miracle Eight Banners were fully prepared, Ma Chao's side was no match for them.

Having Flying Bear as a distraction and not having Flying Bear as a distraction are two completely different things. Although Ma Chao is determined to challenge the Miracle Legion, he will not blindly lead his soldiers to their deaths.

Fortunately, the number of Miracle Eight Banners was small, otherwise Ma Chao might not have been able to complete the subsequent flanking maneuver.

However, not being able to defeat the Miracle Legion doesn't mean Ma Chao can't do anything. Ma Chao has long passed the point of comparing stats on paper.

The infiltration, the ultra-high-speed infiltration, fully demonstrated their speed and the defense brought by the charge, and the superb infiltration tactic was directly displayed in the Qing army.

The main force following behind the Miracle Eight Banners was already somewhat disorganized due to the attack, which made it the perfect stage for Ma Chao.

Having forged his own path, Ma Chao perfectly showcased what he had gained.

Knowledge that he once only vaguely understood became concrete in Ma Chao's mind at this moment. Supported by the burning imperial will, Ma Chao broke through his limits and entered a completely new realm.

The point-to-point breakthrough tactic, the dragon-like weaving and movement, the speed comparable to light cavalry, the defense comparable to heavy cavalry, and the existence that surpassed ordinary legions, all shone brightly at this moment.

Ma Chao felt incredibly exhilarated. The Liangzhou cavalry were not the same as the Xiliang cavalry; they were not suited for point-to-point combat. Moving and flanking were what they were best at.

Like a swimming dragon, it weaves back and forth within the Qing army's formation.

The Qing army began to fall into chaos due to Ma Chao's sudden rise to power, and the momentum that had been driving them to break through Sun Wu's defenses was completely cut off.

The Miracle Eight Banners at the forefront were blocked by a large number of soldiers who wanted to capture Ma Chao, but the internal chaos blocked their retreat.

They can neither advance nor retreat, leaving them caught in the middle.

Huang Taiji had just forced Ma Chao out from within when he looked up and saw that Sun Tzu had blocked all of his attack routes.

Huang Taiji looked annoyed. Their last chance had been squandered because of Ma Chao's sudden outburst.

Ma Chao's outburst under immense pressure was so powerful that it might even surpass the level of a large-scale army commander.

However, what Huang Taiji didn't know was that Sun Tzu's remote intervention was also part of the reason.

The arrows from the Changshui Camp, along with the long-range support from the Divine Demon Guards, allowed Ma Chao's infiltration to be so smooth and efficient, giving Sun Tzu enough time to change formations.

"Oh, old man Sun Tzu, what happened to make you look so disheveled!"

Han Xin's voice reached Sun Wu's ears. Although it was somewhat jarring, it also relieved Sun Wu.

"Hold them tight, I've arrived!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Sun Wu retorted, then immediately turned and nodded to Sima Yi.

"Have you rested enough? If you have, then get ready to get to work!"

Sima Yi's face paled, and he wanted to curse. They had just tricked him, and now they were trying to trick him again. Why were all these military geniuses so unreliable? However, Sima Yi also knew that this was the time for him to step up.

"Qu Yi! Send your vanguard assassins to make their move!"

Sun Tzu played the last card in his hand.

"What a bossy old man!" Qu Yi spat. During the time that the Shooting Battalion had been silent, the Vanguard had been extremely busy.

Sun Tzu's command intensity was too high; the vanguard soldiers were almost constantly on the move, continuously attacking targets and fulfilling orders.

Even soldiers of the Vanguard rank were extremely busy.

Upon receiving Sun Tzu's order, Qu Yi, though cursing under his breath, obediently carried out the attack on the designated area as instructed.

Qu Yi knew very well that their situation was extremely precarious, and if he were to take over, he estimated that they would collapse very soon.

If you don't want to die again, then obediently carry out Sun Tzu's orders.

The more than 30,000 arrows that the vanguard unleashed in an instant were each as powerful as those from a normal strong bow; this was the limit they could currently squeeze out.

Although not as numerous as the six-figure torrent of arrows during its peak, the more than 30,000 arrows successfully tore a gap in the Qing army's encirclement.

Sun Tzu was naturally furious after being attacked for so long, and the point where the vanguard broke through was almost halfway through the Qing army.

It's impossible to wipe out the Qing army in one go, but cutting them in half and gradually wearing them down is still a good chance.

Sun Tzu acted swiftly and decisively. As soon as the first arrows fell, a large number of charging soldiers began to break through the empty area, stepping over a large number of corpses.

"Kill!" Gao Shun roared. While Sun Wu was being beaten, he had already begun to prepare to counterattack.

He also had a rough estimate of how quickly Han Xin would arrive. Although the situation was dangerous, Sun Tzu had always left himself room to maneuver and was always ready to counterattack.

The only misjudgment was the existence of Nurhaci.

If it weren't for a series of misjudgments, Sun Tzu would be in even greater control now.

At this time, the Liangzhou cavalry, which had already circled around the Qing army from the rear, launched a surprise attack on half of the Qing army under Sun Tzu's guidance.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

When Ma Chao launched a surprise attack, the Qing officers instinctively ordered their soldiers to fire arrows in retaliation.

A hail of arrows rained down on the predicted location of the Liangzhou cavalry, even though the arrows made a crackling sound as they struck the Liangzhou cavalry.

The Liangzhou cavalry only slowed down slightly before charging into the Qing army's formation like a dragon.

Most of the soldiers had several arrows stuck in their bodies, which didn't affect their movements much, but they still looked quite miserable.

Huang Taiji also received information that Han Xin was leading a large army to catch up.

"How come it's so fast?"

Huang Taiji was somewhat surprised. Logically, Han Xin should have arrived three hours later, but he arrived three hours earlier than expected, which was not good news.

More importantly, he left many scouts along the way, yet he only received the news now.

"Kill!" Ma Er roared as he charged at the forefront.

At this moment, the First Yellow Heaven Legion, moving at lightning speed, left the main force behind and miraculously stormed into the Qing army.

Having been threatened with the safety of Mu Yi by the Miracle Eight Banners, First Yellow Heaven's anger had long been uncontrollable.

If the Qing army hadn't escaped so quickly, they would have definitely torn up the Miracle Eight Banners and Huang Taiji together.

Now, they are going to unleash their fury.

They wanted to show the Qing army how terrifying the wrath of Heaven could be.

In the short span of three breaths, before the Qing soldiers could even react, Huang Tian had already broken through the last flank of the infantry corps.

The speed of the white horse, the defense of the iron cavalry, the attack of the elite warriors, and the power of Augustus all appeared simultaneously in the First Yellow Heaven.

In an instant, the blades flashed and blood splattered. In the span of three breaths, Huang Tian had already pierced through the entire legion.

The speed of the First Yellow Heaven only decreased sharply after the suppression of the clouds completely descended and Nurhaci targeted it.

But still, there was no one who could withstand a single blow.

The main force was originally bombarding Sun Wu's defenses, while the rear forces were relatively weaker legions used to provide cloud energy and buffs.

Even the weakest of them have two talents.

The first Huang Tian, ​​who was in a berserk state, was simply not good enough.

Only when the Three Talent Legion intervened did the rampage of the First Yellow Heaven finally come to a halt.

During this period, the entire rear of the Qing army had been completely cleared by the First Yellow Heaven, leaving a bloody path.

Whether they were archers, heavy infantry, or spearmen, they had absolutely no power to resist the fleeting, dazzling blade.

This near-limitless killing speed is a power that only the swift white horse can unleash when facing a chaotic army.

Huang Tian, ​​who imitated them, has now surpassed his predecessors. If the speed of Shensu Baima is stopped, there is still hope for a counterattack.

If your attacks are strong enough, you might even be able to trade your life for the Swift White Horse.

At this moment, Huang Tian, ​​whose speed, strength, defense, and reaction were all pushed to the limit by miracles, was a complete physical eraser, leaving no living enemy in the places he swept.

What's even more critical is that Huang Taiji doesn't have time to mobilize a large army to contain the First Yellow Heaven.

"Evacuate in a dispersed manner, evacuate as many as you can!"

Huang Taiji looked at the First Yellow Heaven, whose existence was also a major reason for thwarting his previous surprise attack on Mu Yi.

The Miracle Legion has now become a reality that the Qing court cannot ignore.

They could find ways to artificially create three talents as high as the sky, but the Miracle Legion was indeed difficult to deal with.

It seems there's no other option besides stacking three talents.

A single Miracle Legion is fine, but when you think about the sheer number of Miracle Legions that Xinghan possesses...

Huang Taiji had a headache.

How did their Qing Dynasty end up like this?
