Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 905 Charging Towards a Miracle
The long line of Qing troops launching an attack was easily cut apart by Xu Shu, who had been prepared in advance.
An attack will inevitably reveal weaknesses, and the presence of fortified fortresses amplifies these weaknesses.
This was also the final framework that Bai Qi left for Xu Shu when he removed himself and Huang Taiji from this war.
Xu Shu did not disappoint Bai Qi's expectations, and within this framework, he successfully cut the Qing army into several pieces.
However, it's less of a cutting and more of a temporary isolation.
The Eight Banners cavalry continued to attempt to advance towards their target.
Xiahou Dun's army only temporarily blocked their path, which was also a part of the head-on confrontation.
If Xiahou Dun and his men cannot defeat the Eight Banners cavalry, then any ambush or plan will be meaningless.
On this battlefield, everyone's internal energy is suppressed to the extreme. Even Lu Bu cannot release his internal energy for even a moment.
This is also why Xiahou Dun and his men were able to easily separate the Qing army. The Miracle Eight Banners may still retain the killing efficiency of one shot per kill, but these three-talented, Imperial Guard Eight Banner cavalry simply could not quickly break through the obstacles in front of them.
Not to mention, Xiahou Dun and his group were not pushovers.
"These guys are really strong!"
Xiahou Dun's face was full of gloom. The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was undoubtedly the perfect cavalry.
He did gain some advantage with his military spirit ability, but soon the Eight Banners cavalry figured out a way to counter them.
The soldiers of Xiahou Dun's army could only rely on their near-death experience to fight against the Eight Banners cavalry.
Even so, the two sides were evenly matched for a time, with Xiahou Dun's army even at a disadvantage.
Even with two lives as a backup, they wouldn't gain any advantage. Or rather, Xiahou Dun's legion had just been promoted to the Military Soul Legion, and its quality and awareness were far from meeting the standards expected of a Military Soul Legion.
Xiahou Yuan was even worse off. His light cavalry, which hadn't even reached the third level of talent, was simply not suited for head-on combat. If it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Ang assisting him, they would probably have been routed.
Even with their two legions working together, they could barely keep the battle lines from collapsing, and were forced to retreat in defeat.
The other legions were much the same. The fighting strength of the Eight Banners cavalry was undeniable, and in a head-on confrontation, they possessed fighting power that was second to none.
Urdu, the commander of the scimitar cavalry, was beaten so badly that he couldn't even lift his head. Scimitars are inherently advantageous in close combat, and with the extension of the blade's light, the scimitar cavalry was very powerful.
However, in the current environment, the flexibility of the scimitar is directly limited by the environment, causing it to lose its distance advantage and instead be beaten to a pulp by the Eight Banners cavalry with long spears.
The cavalry battle was almost one-sided. With the Flying Bear, the Trapped Formation, and the Imperial Guards absent, the remaining Wolf Riders and Iron Cavalry Legions were no match for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and could only fight to the death to prolong the battle.
However, Bai Qi had anticipated this scene. After all, he had pushed the entire Miracle Legion to the front line. Without their main force, it was only natural that they couldn't defeat the enemy's main force.
Two massive infantry units charged out from the left and right sides along the fortress complex, led by their legion commanders, and rushed toward the separated Eight Banners cavalry.
Their mobility was naturally no match for that of cavalry, so their mission was simple: to join forces and form a defensive line to limit the advance of the Qing army.
At the same time, the infantry in the fortress complex also charged forward in formation, forming small circles and converging on the defensive line.
The archers then began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
A thunderous roar erupted as tens of thousands of specially made heavy arrows, each over a meter long, whistled out from the archers' longbows, directly covering the Eight Banners cavalry army.
The goal is not to kill the enemy, but to suppress them.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners cavalry couldn't help but draw their bows and fire in retaliation, but the archers, protected by the fortress, could simply hunch over to avoid most of the arrows.
"Arrow suppression!"
The Qing infantrymen charging behind the Eight Banners cavalry immediately directed their archers to fire suppressive shots, hoping to relieve the pressure on the Eight Banners cavalry.
A rain of arrows, like a locust plague, swept over, and the shield bearers in the fortress, as if they had trained countless times, suddenly tilted their large shields at a sixty-degree angle and raised them.
A series of crackling sounds followed, but apart from a few powerful arrows piercing through the shields and a few unlucky ones being hit directly, most of the soldiers were unharmed.
The existence of the fortress complex was like a fishbone stuck in the throat of the Qing army; no matter how many methods the Qing army used, they could not directly destroy these fortress complexes.
The Qing army commander was furious, but there was nothing he could do but suppress his nausea and continue to command his army to advance.
Of course, these methods could not defeat the Qing army; they could only slow their advance and disrupt their formation.
Even though they couldn't defeat their opponents, they successfully completed Bai Qi's pre-set mission: to completely hold off their opponents and isolate them from the Miracle Eight Banners.
Even if they are outmatched, given the current environment, they will not be defeated in the short term.
The gap between soldiers of different ranks is now very small. Even a soldier with three talents cannot kill a soldier with two talents in a short time.
The only exception was the Miracle Legion, whose miraculous transformation helped them withstand most of the suppression, giving them an almost precipitous lead in strength.
At present, Xinghan's focus is entirely on the Miracle Eight Banners, which serve as the head of a long dragon.
Xiahou Dun's initial charge proved the authenticity of the Miracle Eight Banners through actual combat, confirming that it was not a decoy or a disguise, but the main force of the Miracle Eight Banners.
The fact that the long dragon was cut off did not affect the Miracle Eight Banners, which acted as the head of the dragon. They were like a sharp arrow, piercing through all obstacles and galloping ahead of Bai Qi.
Of course, the main reason was that Bai Qi didn't pay any attention to them at all, but was completely focused on exchanging blows with Huang Taiji.
"Let me show you why miracles crush all non-miracles!" Fu Ankang roared viciously as he looked at the fearless Tiger Battalion charging towards him.
They are the Miracle Legion, the most powerful legion in the entire Qing Dynasty. Over the years, any opponent who dared to throw a punch at the Miracle Legion has died!
The soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners were completely covered by the radiance. The originally omnipresent suppression seemed to dissipate at this moment because of the power of the miracle, and directly avoided the area where they were located.
"die!"
Fu Ankang thrust out a spear, its tip piercing directly through the forehead of the opposing spearman. He then pulled out the spear, and the spearman, whose forehead had been pierced, fell to the ground without a single wound the instant the spearhead was pulled out.
The essence of heaven and earth is ultimately limited, and even the mighty Miracle Legion cannot create something from nothing on a large scale. The soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners seemed to have gone mad, imbuing their spears with their own will and inner energy in this environment, changing the form of the spears so that they could extend and retract freely like elastic springs.
The willpower attack attached to their spears also allows them to ignore heavy defenses and kill enemies directly.
In just a few breaths, the Miracle Eight Banners, unleashing their full power, directly overthrew the Tiger Legion that was blocking their way.
Even one of the few internal energies mixed in with the body was broken.
In this environment, those with internal energy leaving their bodies are not much stronger than Miracle Soldiers, and two or three people working together are enough to kill them on the spot.
"Lord Wu'an, are you really not worried at all?"
Xu Shu looked at the Miracle Eight Banners breaking through the infantry defense line and sighed. With everyone being suppressed, the Miracle Legion, which could greatly shield the suppression, was like a bug.
"There's nothing to worry about. I left Guan Yu ahead just in case!"
Bai Qi remained calm and composed. Even though the Miracle Legion was charging straight towards him, Bai Qi didn't even glance at them, focusing entirely on the suppression and breakthrough ahead.
Compared to Huang Taiji's approach of concentrating his forces on one point in an attempt to kill the enemy with a single blow, Bai Qi's strategy of dispersing the Miracle Legion in several directions allowed him to maximize the annihilation of the Qing army.
Although the speed was much slower than Huang Taiji's approach, it was more stable and harder to defend against. Huang Taiji only chose this desperate approach because he was forced to.
Bai Qi truly didn't care about the danger before him at all. As a military genius, he had absolute confidence in his plans.
He had a way of dealing with miracles, so he wasn't flustered at all.
He even had a backup plan in place in case the Miracle Legion really broke through his defenses: Guan Yu, who was left in front, would be a backup plan that could take over at any time.
Bai Qi placed his hopes on the three legions standing in front of him.
"The Miracle Legion!"
Zhang Xiu gripped his spear tightly. He had fully absorbed the legacy of the Holy Fallen Knights, but unfortunately, he still couldn't break through to the level of a miracle.
It wasn't just because of their opponents, but also because of their own shortcomings. The pressure from the Holy Fallen Knights back then was incomparable to what they could achieve. So even though they inherited the Holy Fallen Knights' legacy, they ultimately couldn't reach the level of the Holy Fallen Knights.
This could be another opportunity, and he won't let it slip by.
"Pang Lingming, I'll lead the charge!"
Zhang Xiu roared, and the icy blue inner energy in his left hand and the bright red inner energy in his right hand twisted and intertwined, turning into a dazzling purple. The silk threads moved automatically without wind, surging with the massive inner energy.
Zhang Xiu slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes had also turned purple.
Then, a purple glow representing will began to spread from Zhang Xiu's body, and a foot-long purple glow spread from all the soldiers behind him.
Although he didn't achieve a breakthrough miracle, he did reach the level of a three-talent master. With the special guidance of Bai Qi, a great god in the realm of divine will, Zhang Xiu's growth was very rapid.
Not only did it quickly solidify the legion's strength, but it also mastered the deeper uses of the legion's talents, further enhancing their power and creating a more profound bond with the soldiers.
On this battlefield today, the influence of the essence of heaven and earth has been minimized, and the Miracle Legion relies more on willpower to fight, which is a force that Zhang Xiu's main force does not lack.
"Zhang Boyuan beat me to it!" Pang De gripped his broadsword with a mixture of regret and relief.
Fighting the Miracle Legion is not a good thing; those who rush in first will inevitably suffer the greatest losses.
But Pound also understood that Zhang Xiu's charge had already put him a step ahead of them, and compared to Zhang Xiu's fearlessness, he was ultimately a step behind.
This is not only a difference in individual strength, but also a difference in the strength of the two armies.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Pound gripped his longsword tightly, awaiting the clash between Zhang Xiu and the Miracle Legion.
The moment Zhang Xiu weakens the enemy, he will lead his troops in a charge, delivering a decisive blow when the enemy is at its weakest.
"The whole army attacks!"
With a loud roar from Zhang Xiu, all his soldiers charged forward. Although their speed was not particularly fast, their morale was rising rapidly.
They soon saw the Miracle Eight Banners in front of them, and all the soldiers' eyes showed a cold killing intent. They then naturally followed behind Zhang Xiu, forming countless small cones, which in turn formed a huge arrowhead formation.
The top of the legion's head seemed to be imbued with the aura, turning into a purple sword tip, and Zhang Xiu's right hand, which was holding the spear, began to tremble incessantly.
Then the purple clouds quickly twisted and changed, eventually transforming into a giant purple phoenix.
This is the ultimate legion attack created by Zhang Xiu by combining top-level martial arts skills, legion talents, and his understanding of cloud formations.
Since the start of the war, his legion has been constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth with its will, and then using its will to bind these forces together. So even though the essence of heaven and earth has been expelled from the battlefield, his legion still retains a large amount of power.
Zhang Xiu led his troops in the first charge, not only because they wanted to face the difficulties head-on, but also because their legion could no longer suppress the rioting of these forces.
Now, all that has been accumulating has been unleashed.
In the instant before the two sides clashed, the enormous purple phoenix charged towards the Miracle Eight Banners in front of it.
Zhang Xiu's troops suddenly felt a weakening, and the purple clouds in the sky seemed to be emptied almost instantly. However, the powerful attack brought about by this method landed directly on the Miracle Eight Banners.
With a single strike, the purple light dissipated, and Zhang Xiu's main force was naturally weakened as a result. However, Zhang Xiu did not hesitate at all and charged towards the Miracle Eight Banners with undiminished speed.
What they missed was only the accumulated power; their own power remained undiminished.
Weakness is only a superficial phenomenon. If you really treat them as easy targets to exploit, you will suffer a terrible fate.
As expected, the Miracle Eight Banners used their Miracle Radiance to directly shatter Zhang Xiu's powerful attack.
After the will within was neutralized, the remaining essence of heaven and earth was almost instantly driven out by the suppression of the battlefield.
The next moment, Zhang Xiu's main force, enveloped in purple light, collided with the Miracle Eight Banners. (End of Chapter)
