Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

"It's now!"

After Zhang Xiu unleashed the super legion attack, Xu Shu roared and began to fully activate the changes in the clouds with his mental power.

The advisors around him also channeled their spiritual energy to assist Xu Shu.

What they did was very simple: they drew on external forces to strengthen the cloud formations, making them thicker and heavier.

If one can unilaterally increase the density of one's own cloud formations, it is definitely one of the most versatile and effective secret techniques.

Unfortunately, the secret technique that Xu Shu and his group are currently using is one that treats everyone equally.

When the two clouds come into contact, and absorb external forces to strengthen their own clouds, the result is that both clouds are strengthened to the same degree, and their suppressive power increases significantly.

In some ways, this method of using clouds is actually meaningless.

However, it is very meaningful at present because cloud suppression is to suppress the upper limit, not the lower limit.

The thicker the clouds, the less likely the Miracle Legion can unleash their full power, thus providing a way to kill them.

The Star River has quite a few Miracle Legions, and several military geniuses have naturally studied how to deal with them.

As for Bai Qi, what does the Miracle Legion matter? Even if it's made of iron, he'll shatter it this time!
Although Xu Shu believed in Bai Qi's wisdom, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he watched the Miracle Eight Banners charging towards them.

In this situation, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

With this in mind, the cloud formations of the Xinghan army and the Qing army expanded at a visible speed.

Originally, the cloud only needed a trace of essence and blood to combine with the outside world, but at this moment it even began to actively draw on the essence and blood of the legion's soldiers.

The result was that the cloud formations began to expand tenfold.

Fu Ankang had already felt it at this time, the overwhelming cloud formations rising from millions to tens of millions in size.

Even the Miracle Legion was severely suppressed by this level of cloud formation.

Before Fu Ankang could react, Zhang Xiu charged out of the dust and fog, followed by his own cavalry, who rushed out like tigers.

Riding on the momentum of the super legion's attack, he gripped his spear tightly and thrust it at the Miracle Eight Banners soldiers in the next instant.

"die!"

Zhang Xiu pierced through the miraculous Eight Banners soldier in front of him with a single spear thrust.
But in the next instant, several spears blocked Zhang Xiu's path and pierced his abdomen.

Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and swung his spear diagonally, slicing open the Eight Banners soldier who had pierced his abdomen. Blood splattered out, but this did not deter the soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners. More spears came thrusting at him.

Zhang Xiu's personal guards also rushed over to help him parry the attacks.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, completely fearless and determined to kill each other.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly swallowed a few pills and used his internal energy to catalyze the bleeding, barely managing to stop the bleeding from his wound. Under such circumstances, even a master who had broken through realms showed the vulnerability of a mortal.

The previously abnormal vitality could no longer be restored as miraculously as before.

However, the Miracle Soldiers were different. Zhang Xiu watched as a slain Eight Banners soldier was restored to his original state as if time had reversed, and then dragged his newly recovered body to continue fighting.

Zhang Xiu's face turned ashen. He had thought his legion was strong enough to compete with the Miracle Legion, but it turned out he only had the qualifications.

The purple glow flashing on the spears of the main force soldiers could penetrate the defenses of the Miracle Eight Banners soldiers' weapons and their armor, but it could not penetrate their bodies.

The purple radiance, which should have been able to easily penetrate any willless entity, completely lost its lethality in the face of the Miracle Banners.

As a miracle legion with a brilliant will, they were able to withstand the purple radiance of Zhang Xiu's headquarters with their own will, and each ray of purple radiance could not cause real damage.

Despite being an attack manifested from willpower, it completely lost its lethality when fighting against the Miracle Eight Banners soldiers.

Almost every Miracle Banner can withstand the damage from the purple glow and continue fighting.

The golden and purple tides collided, neither side showing any intention of dodging or evading; they were determined to clash head-on.

"die!"

The soldiers of Zhang Xiu's own troops, wielding long spears, thrust their spears, glowing with a purple light, directly at the Miracle Eight Banners soldiers the moment they made contact.

The moment the enemy shielded them from the radiance with their bodies and parried their spears, Zhang Xiu's soldiers realized that their previously hopeless and ineffective force had lost its lethality.

The purple, intangible attack, which was said to be able to pierce almost everything, clearly lost its absolute piercing effect at this moment.

The Miracle Eight Banners' defense against physical attacks did not surpass that of heavy cavalry, but against attacks of willpower, they were undoubtedly among the strongest in the world.

Then, facing Zhang Xiu's main force, the soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners thrust their spears out with their backhands, and terrifying shockwaves pierced out from the spears, directly stabbing into the chests of the soldiers of Zhang Xiu's main force.

"Pfft!"

The next second, Zhang Xiu's soldiers did not dodge, but took the hit head-on. Then, the spear, glowing with purple light, was forcefully inserted into the opponent's chest and twisted violently!
"Looks like we're just one step away!"

Filled with regret, Zhang Xiu's soldiers lost consciousness and fell from their horses, dragging the Miracle soldiers opposite them down to hell together.

While the soldiers of the Miracle Eight Banners could indeed use time reversal to recover from their injuries, these fancy tricks were meaningless against the equally unwavering will of Zhang Xiu's main force.

Collision, interweaving, cutting—in the end, Zhang Xiu completely abandoned the power of the purple glow; he had come to his senses.

They abandoned all fancy counterattack methods and relied purely on gunfights.

At that moment, he truly understood the significance of the Holy Fallen Cavalry's mission and the fighting style of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Cavalrymen fight by relying on their strong physique and their brilliant and unwavering will.

No matter how fierce the opponent is, in such a charge of lances, life and death are decided in an instant. Even if you are no match for your opponent, as long as you keep charging, your opponent will inevitably fall off his horse due to the distortion of his movements.

On a battlefield of this scale, even a Transcendent-level expert who falls from his horse could die from the trampling of the Miracle Legion.

So compared to all sorts of fancy tactics, sticking to the stirrups, gripping the spear tightly, and unleashing the Legion's talents to their fullest potential, you just crash through like a tidal wave.

Once you knock the enemy soldiers off their mounts, killing them is just a side effect.

After one wave of attacks, Fu Ankang decisively adjusted his tactics.

He was, after all, a commander of a large army, and he knew very well what he needed to do. He wasn't there to fight Zhang Xiu to the death.

Zhang Xiu's legion is truly formidable, so formidable that even a direct confrontation would cripple the Miracle Eight Banners, with casualties likely approaching two thousand. After all, it is a top-tier, three-talented legion with the potential to achieve a miracle, and it has even absorbed another miracle legion.

It's really not worth fighting head-on, and killing those people would take a lot of time. Fu Ankang hasn't forgotten that they're going to kill a military genius.

Any delay could become a sharp arrow aimed at them, so Fu Ankang had no intention of fighting Zhang Xiu to the death. He even deliberately let Zhang Xiu's momentum pass him by, cutting in from both sides to disrupt Zhang Xiu's formation, and then continued to rush towards Bai Qi's direction.

This was an extremely difficult and risky operation. Fu Ankang knew the risks were high, but having come this far, he had no way out.

Moreover, having received no news from Huang Taiji, he could only make choices based on his own current judgment.

Knowing that he was in the middle of a large army and his vision was limited, he was unlikely to make good judgments. So he simply cleared his mind and chose the troop formation that was most likely to create a miracle and charged towards Bai Qi.

It's fortunate that Bai Qi is here; if it were Han Xin, it would be no different from offering his head to someone else.

However, even if it were Han Xin, he wouldn't be able to complete Bai Qi's encirclement and annihilation operation. It can only be said that in order to serve the grand strategy, he had to make a choice.

Although Fu Ankang could not oversee the entire situation, he was, after all, a commander of a large army on horseback. He was a formidable man who could accomplish this series of tasks simply by relying on his intuition, and he easily completed this amazing scene on the battlefield.

"Where to go!"

By the time Zhang Xiu hurriedly turned his horse around, Fu Ankang had already led the Eight Banners cavalry far ahead.

Moreover, Fu Ankang had even completed the integration of the legion and was heading straight towards Bai Qi's direction.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the corpses on the ground. The vast majority of them were from Zhang Xiu's own troops and the Eight Banners cavalry. The Miracle Eight Banners numbered only about three hundred.

Even after accounting for the corpses of the Eight Banners cavalry, Zhang Xiu's main force suffered almost three times the casualties of the opposing Miracle Eight Banners.

Zhang Xiu's face was ashen, but this was not the time to dwell on such matters. He was well aware of the mission he bore, and at this moment, he could only continue the pursuit.

Although unwilling, this is a battlefield, not a place for one-on-one battles. The Miracle Eight Banners have to get past him, but they still have to get past Pound.

If Pound can hold them off, they will have a chance to join forces and annihilate him here.

"too strong!"

Xu Shu's face darkened at this moment. He felt immense pressure. Could the remaining cards in his hand really crush the Miracle Legion on the other side?
They really don't have any skilled fighters around them. If the enemy gets close, they'll really have to take their place.

Although he was also a Qi-transferrent practitioner, against such an opponent, wouldn't Qi-transferrent practitioners just be handing over their heads? Moreover, the Eight Banners cavalry behind him were desperately breaking through, and Xu Shu's overall pressure was constantly increasing.

"What, scared?" Bai Qi wasn't in a hurry at all, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.

"We are indeed afraid! If we die, the entire plan will probably be ruined, right?" Xu Shu frankly admitted.

"Don't worry, even if we die, Guan Yu will definitely be able to wipe out the enemy. At most, a couple hundred thousand of them will escape, which is no big deal!"

Bai Qi spoke as if he weren't talking about his own life or death, his composure frightening, as if he had completely seen through the nature of life and death.

"You're still young. When you've been through death like me, you'll mature and learn to disregard life and death!"

"..." Xu Shu's face darkened even more.

If he really had to sacrifice himself, he certainly wouldn't hesitate, but he felt there was absolutely no need for it.

Ultimately, he was in the prime of his life and really didn't want to die so hastily.

Moreover, Bai Qi's sarcastic remarks were truly heartbreaking. You, sir, were given a second chance at life, as if it were a free gift. He hadn't even lived half of Bai Qi's life yet, so how could he bear to die?

"Hehehe, don't want to die? If you don't want to die, then push your limits right here, find the Miracle Legion's weakness, and then crush them!"

Bai Qi laughed. Looking at Xu Shu's dark face, he finally understood the pleasure Han Xin felt when bullying a child.

You know what, it's just interesting.

“The Miracle Legion is not invincible. As you have seen, our series of measures have compressed the gap between the Miracle Legion and Zhang Xiu’s forces to the extreme.”

Bai Qi turned his head back, continued to suppress Huang Taiji, and then spoke to Xu Shu.

“Zhang Xiu could have completely blocked the enemy! It was because of his lack of ability that the enemy commander found a weakness in the battle line and easily broke through it.”

"Even if you replace Zhang Xiu with Guan Yu, it will be the same!" Xu Shu's face darkened further, while Bai Qi spoke without a care in the world.

Aside from military geniuses like Han Xin and Bai Qi personally leading troops to block the way, no one else could possibly stop the Miracle Eight Banners with just three talents.

The Miracle Eight Banners were essentially assault cavalry. As long as the commander had the ability to see through the battle lines, and the opponent was not the Miracle Legion, he could use his vanguard to tear open the battle lines and penetrate through.

Even against the Miracle Legion, cavalry flanking maneuvers are perfectly normal.

The two cavalry legions charged at each other, forcibly stopping the other side.

Xu Shu felt that neither Yu Lin nor Fei Xiong could do it, and only Huang Tian could probably do it.

"So, the test now isn't on Zhang Xiu and Pang De, it's on you. Can you find the points where the enemy is trying to break through and cooperate with them to block their path in advance!"

Bai Qi offered a couple of pointers, then fell silent.

It wasn't that he was deliberately teasing Xu Shu; he simply didn't have the time. Killing Huang Taiji was no easy task, and the advantage he had accumulated over the past half day was already at its limit if Xu Shu could offer him a few words of advice.

He had indeed secured the victory; even if he and Xu Shu were killed by Fu Ankang, the overall victory was already in his grasp.

If Guan Yu took over command, he would definitely be able to wipe out the Qing army in one fell swoop, just as he said, at most a few hundred thousand of them would escape.

There's no way around it; Guan Yu isn't him after all, so he certainly can't do it perfectly. According to his plan, this situation should be able to completely wipe out the opponent.

The miraculous exchange of fire was just the first step. The Qing army certainly had more tricks up its sleeve, but it didn't matter. They had blocked the strongest wave, and the Qing army was just slowly dying.

As for the price to pay for victory, that's none of Bai Qi's business.

That's how he fights; he'll tell me to kill the enemy.

Then I'll just surround and annihilate them all at once, and then secure the victory.

As for what price to pay, that's none of his business; it all depends on the efforts of the officers and soldiers.

Victory was a foregone conclusion anyway, and as for the cost, he could only say that he couldn't help with that.

After all, he had his sights set on a victorious future. (End of Chapter)
