Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Bai Qi had already made preparations when the Qing army began to advance.

"Report on the situation at the fortress complex!"

"The collapsed area is about 40 percent, and the newly built fortress complex has almost completely collapsed!" Huang Tianji reported to Bai Qi after summarizing the situation.

"It's much better than I expected. As expected, a fortress reinforced with cloud energy is much stronger than one that is simply built!" Ji Jian was quite satisfied after hearing the information.

The fortresses they built were already quite earthquake-resistant, and after excluding some of the influence of the essence of heaven and earth, the effect was even better than expected.

"Order the troops in preparation to move into the fortified area and prepare to meet the enemy!"

When Bai Qi made his preparations, he did not allow his soldiers to enter the fortress complex, as he knew very well that the enemy's first target would definitely be the fortress complex.

As he had expected, the Qing army immediately launched a massive earthquake to clear the way. However, due to their prior preparations, the enemy's grand magic had almost no effect.

"Move the cannon fodder defense line forward and prepare to resist the first wave of attack!"

After confirming that the impact of the Great Secret Technique had been minimized, Bai Qi decisively began to command a change in formation.

Before the Qing army even arrived, he unleashed his ultimate command right in front of them, with nearly 600,000 troops arranged in a supreme formation of large and small arrays.

It appears to be a double military formation, but in reality, there is an additional fixed military formation with the fortress cluster as nodes. Its effect is to draw upon the essence of heaven and earth to restore physical strength and energy.

The army was not a tightly packed square formation, but rather a large army composed of hundreds of men, with each hundred men forming a small formation. These numerous small formations combined to create a massive army, covering an area far exceeding the Qing army's estimates.

Even Huang Taiji and Dorgon couldn't help but admire this military formation arrangement ability from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Sun Tzu and Han Xin were somewhat surprised when they found out, not expecting that Bai Qi had secretly prepared such a big plan.

After setting up for so long, the entire defensive area was swept through with divine will, and with the help of Guan Yu and other divine cultivators, divine will imprints were left in various places within the area.

Then, by using the will of the army as a medium, the will of all soldiers is concentrated, directly increasing the speed of command and dispatch.

At the speed at which Bai Qi is mobilizing his army, even Sun Tzu wouldn't dare say he could defeat him.

So Huang Taiji glanced at it and determined that the enemy's formation had no weaknesses. It wasn't that it was without flaws, but with Bai Qi's speed of maneuvering, all flaws were fluid. What looked like a flaw now would have changed by the time they charged in.

Moreover, the flaws in this liquidity are almost entirely unpredictable.

After confirming that the formation was truly without any flaws, Huang Taiji immediately began his advance.

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see the inverted triangle formation that the opposing army had arranged.

Logically speaking, when breaking out, the Qing army should have formed a triangular or trident-like formation to facilitate a point-to-area attack. However, the formation the Qing army used this time looked more like a defensive formation.

What is the meaning behind this deployment by the Qing army?

Xu Shu gazed at the Qing army opposite him, and the formation that appeared in their line of sight surprised him.

The Light and Shadow Technique is almost completely outdated at this moment, and can only be commanded and deployed in the most primitive way. Fortunately, Bai Qi still has the will to guide him, which can correct the command.

"Whatever it means, our goal is to stop them!" Bai Qi said calmly, and then slowly began to make his arrangements.

"Since the other side doesn't intend to win quickly, we're not in a hurry either. As long as we can stop them, Marquis Huaiyin and the others will help us achieve our goal."

As Bai Qi directed, the clouds surrounding the main army swirled rapidly, and then, according to Bai Qi's plan, a golden glow appeared on the bodies of every soldier in the Star River Army.

And a smear of blood appeared on the weapons in their hands.

For an army of this size, all the fancy enhancements are no match for the simplest offensive and defensive enhancements.

Scholars like Xu Shu also contributed their energy and spirit to the army.

"The Great Secret Technique, Beyond the Limits!"

In an instant, the momentum of the Star River Army changed dramatically. Its originally high morale broke through one limit after another and reached its peak.

At the same time, Xu Shu felt his spiritual energy surging out like water being released from a dam. He was using a secret technique centered on Ju Shou's spiritual talent.

This time, by fully utilizing this secret technique, almost all the power stolen from the suppression area was exhausted, pushing the effect of this secret technique to its limit. At this moment, the spirit and energy of the Star Han army reached their current peak, and every single one of the 600,000 soldiers was exceptionally active.

In other words, if a person's combat power fluctuates within a certain range, then at this moment, the combat power of every soldier in the Star Han army is extremely close to the maximum value of that range, including peerless warriors like Lü Bu and Guan Yu.

Similarly, on the Qing army's side, the destructive power of all soldiers was enhanced the moment the cloud formations stabilized.

Nurhaci did his utmost to distort reality, raising the concentration of the essence of heaven and earth, thus explosively enhancing the elite talent effects of all his soldiers.

However, this enhancement only lasted for a moment.

"Sever the connection between heaven and earth!"

Sima Yi was at the core, and the power to seal everything was fully unleashed, weakening the intensity in exchange for range and duration.

The already exceptional talent level was instantly reduced to its original state, and even regressed.

The level of combat on the entire battlefield clearly surpassed the intensity of all previous wars, but the destructive power that both sides could unleash at this moment was suppressed back to that of several years ago.

Even the strength of internal energy formation is further compressed, and most internal energy formations cannot exert their full power.

Before the war had even officially begun, the two sides had already engaged in a fierce battle of wits.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Bai Qi immediately waved his command flag and launched an attack.

The commander's flag waved, and the army slowly began to advance on both sides. The pace was not fast, but the pressure they brought made the Qing army feel heavy.

A rather bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.

The Qing army, which should have been eager to break out, adopted a defensive formation, while Bai Qi, who should have been on the defensive, adopted an offensive formation.

The offensive and defensive situations have completely reversed.

"Prepare for an attack. Do everything you can to smash that turtle shell on the other side. I want to see what tricks they're up to."

The vanguards of the two armies drew closer and closer, until finally, when their vanguards were completely converging and the attacking cannon fodder troops and the Qing army formation were less than a hundred paces apart, the two armies suddenly accelerated and roared as they charged toward each other.

"Tanks, charge!"

The Qing army unleashed its prepared tactics: their dense formation parted to clear a path, and a massive number of chariots charged out from within, over a thousand of them roaring out of the camp gates. A barrage of arrows cleared the way, followed by the chariots.

Tanks are always a fighting force on plains like this, and they are very suitable for charging into battle.

However, the Qing army's chariots were obviously crudely made and lacked any elite quality; they might not even be able to break through the heavy infantry formation.

However, chariots are too inflexible; turning around is simply a pipe dream. They can only be used to launch a charge, and are also a tactic used by the Qing army to probe enemy positions.

The first wave of cannon fodder troops on Xinghan's side suffered heavy casualties under the crushing weight of the tanks.

However, Bai Qi didn't care; they were just cannon fodder meant to be sent to their deaths anyway.

Seeing the cannon fodder die in large numbers, Bai Qi even laughed.

This batch of cannon fodder was specially created by them using the method of offering sacrifices to gods and demons; their effect was very simple.

It means that after death, a spirit with gods and demons at its core is summoned, and then the battle continues.

After the chariot legion charged, the cavalry and infantry following behind were caught off guard and dragged into the war by these undead.

The once unstoppable tank legion suddenly became disjointed, charging ahead alone.

They had no chance to slow down or turn around, so they had no choice but to charge forward.

"Prepare for Legion Attack!"

The time gained by the cannon fodder is enough for the main army to adjust its response strategy.

Dozens of legionary attacks, extending for tens or even hundreds of feet, swept towards the chariot legion.

The cloud of energy mobilized by the chariot legion, which was separated from the main force, was simply insufficient to counter such a large-scale attack.

"Chariots are ultimately obsolete!" Bai Qi said expressionlessly. No one knew the advantages and disadvantages of chariots better than him.

The Qing army has now reversed history and gone straight into the era of chariots, which is a huge joke for Bai Qi.

For Bai Qi, there was only one reason why his chariot was eliminated: something more powerful than him had appeared on the front lines.

That is a legion attack, a legion attack blasted out with cloud energy and the essence of heaven and earth, whose destructive power on the front is even greater than that of a chariot legion.

The number of charging chariots was ultimately too small. If there were tens of thousands or even a few thousand, they might have been able to break into the main force of the Xinghan army and cause damage.

Unfortunately, a disjointed thousand-chariot formation is utterly meaningless and is ultimately just a tactic used for probing.

Various attacks, whether direct or indirect, or caused by shockwaves, instantly vaporized the entire tank legion, leaving not even ashes.

The attack of hundreds of legion members, imbued with powerful willpower, almost instantly destroyed the chariot legion's charge and blasted a huge crater into the once flat ground.

Most of the Northern Xiongnu chariot army was blasted into a huge crater in what was originally flat land.

"The army has begun its attack!"

Bai Qi calmly issued the order, ignoring the cannon fodder troops currently engaged in battle with the Qing army, and coldly gave the command to attack.

With a series of sharp whistles, countless arrows rained down on the Qing army, completely disregarding the lives of the cannon fodder at the front.

Or perhaps these gods, demons, undead, war golems, and the like weren't considered human at all, but merely expendable resources.
On the frontal battlefield stretching for dozens of miles, the Xinghan army, with its two flanks protruding, charged toward the Qing army at varying speeds under the suppression of the arrow rain.

Guan Yu, wielding his broadsword, led his most elite swordsmen, along with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and others, and charged fiercely into the Qing army's formation.

With a single stroke, Guan Yu killed a Qing army centurion. He then leaped onto his horse and led his personal guards into the Qing army, wielding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and slaughtering the surrounding soldiers.

Since the three-in-one slaying of Guan Yu, the God of War, Guan Yu's divine will has become increasingly powerful, even leaving Lü Bu speechless after witnessing it.

From a very early time, Lü Bu had always felt that Guan Yu was a threat. However, after the battle with Guan Yu, the God of War, Lü Bu even had a moment of doubt when he saw Guan Yu, wondering if he could defeat Guan Yu now.

Even if everyone is suppressed by the battlefield, the strong are still heroes who can fight against a hundred people, no matter how much they are suppressed.

"Die!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, the dragon shadow of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand was almost tangible. In this kind of legion battle where internal energy was restricted to the limit, the Green Dragon, representing Guan Yu's belief, showed amazing effects.

With his astonishing fighting prowess, Guan Yu broke through three Qing army defense lines. However, strangely, Guan Yu found himself not only separated from the main force but also from his own troops, with only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei leading a small number of elite soldiers by his side.

"Something's not right!" Guan Yu, now a commander at the pinnacle of military power, standing below even the God of War, immediately noticed the trickery in the Qing army's formation.

For every layer of defense breached, the pressure intensifies, like a sieve that instantly filters out weaker soldiers.

Upon realizing the problem, Guan Yu immediately halted his advance and began to retreat, intending to completely crush the first two lines of defense before making any further moves.

Since this tiered defense is progressive, its effectiveness will decrease as each layer is dismantled.

However, although Guan Yu discovered the problem and did not completely break away from his own army or get caught up in the Qing army, Lü Bu on the other side did not notice at all.

In terms of commanding the overall situation, Lü Bu was even behind Li Jue and others, let alone compared to Guan Yu.

Their reckless advance even led them to penetrate directly into the vicinity of the fourth line of defense, completely separating them from the main force.

Lu Bu swung his halberd wildly, and the violent power he unleashed had an astonishing effect in this kind of legion battle, tearing a rift through the army.

Led by the astonishing strength of Lü Bu and Guan Yu, the soldiers of the Xinghan army tore two huge gaps in the Qing army's defenses the moment they clashed with the Qing army.

Then two huge spikes pierced through the Qing army's defenses.

"Prepare to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress the side that is advancing the fastest!"

Huang Taiji remained calm. Since Lü Bu charged quickly, he concentrated his forces to target Lü Bu first.

He adopted a defensive formation partly because they were still prepared and had not yet fully launched their attack.

On the other hand, it is also to use solid achievements to instill confidence in the entire army.

Such confidence is meaningless if it is only expressed verbally; it must be proven with tangible results that everyone can see.

Breaking the enemy's assaulting legion is the simplest and most direct method. (End of Chapter)
