Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Sun Tzu could not share Han Xin's excitement.

As Han Xin's attention to Xiang Shaoyu increased, Sun Wu faced greater and greater command pressure.

"Young Han, what's so interesting about the infantry front!" Sun Wu said helplessly, reminding Han Xin.

"Sigh, they're not the same thing after all!"

Han Xin felt a little regretful. If it were the former Jiangdong soldiers, Xiang Shaoyu would have been able to directly attack the enemy's capital in this situation.

However, the infantry was ultimately lacking in breakthrough ability. Despite their seemingly unstoppable momentum, they were stopped by a large number of heavily armed riflemen after breaking through two lines of defense.

The Overlord Army's crushing speed rapidly declined. In the end, it was still a legion developed based on the original Forged Emperor's Guard, and it was more adept at survival than bursting out with power.

Under Xiang Shaoyu's leadership, they were able to open up the situation on the battlefield and directly bring down the central front, which was already a great achievement. Expecting the Overlord Army to strike directly at the heart of the enemy would be wishful thinking.

Moreover, when facing a large forest of spears, a purely skilled legion is at a significant disadvantage. Their skill level can overwhelm the individual soldiers on the other side, but the forest of spears consists of more than a dozen long spears.

No matter how exaggerated the strength of the Overlord Army was, it was impossible to directly overwhelm the defenses of a group of people on the other side, which made the soldiers of the Overlord Army very distressed.

With the soldiers unable to advance, even if Xiang Shaoyu could break through enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, the battle lines could not be pushed forward, and Xiang Shaoyu was forced to suppress his advance.

After all, if he were to deviate from the main force, he would be in considerable danger.

The tens of thousands of elite troops, whose talents could be coordinated with each other, held the Overlord Army firmly in place. Relying on the combination of their various talents, the Overlord Army was unable to move an inch.

Even with ranged support, it was the same. The Qing army somehow pulled out a force that could control the field and block 90% of the arrows.

Some powerful arrows can be deliberately raised by the enemy and then shot to some unknown location.

The presence of this legion completely silenced the archers on Xinghan's side, leaving the Overlord Army and the enemy's defenses locked in a stalemate.

Gao Lan, relying on his resurrection burst, forcefully launched a counter-offensive, directly breaking through a defensive line.

The surrounding Qing troops spontaneously rallied to resist the counterattack of the heavy infantry.

Sun Wu, who had anticipated this scene, conveniently mobilized Zhang He to coordinate with Gao Lan. Because of his resurrection, Zhang He directly crushed Gao Lan and the heavy infantry from the flank.

With a surprise charge, the heavy cavalry killed thousands of people and trampled and injured countless others. The heavy infantry, who got up from the ground, decisively finished off the wounded.

The two coordinated their efforts and forced the Qing army to retreat repeatedly on the flank.

After all, Zhang He's behavior of even stepping on his own teammates is simply outrageous.

If they try to block the heavy infantry, they will be trampled by the heavy cavalry; if they don't, the heavy infantry will cut off their defensive line, and they will still suffer the same fate.

The nauseating feeling almost made the Qing army's commander on the defensive line vomit, but he was unable to eliminate the super-heavy cavalry and super-heavy infantry.

In particular, the super-heavy cavalry sneaked behind the super-heavy infantry, and they couldn't defeat the super-heavy infantry. The cavalry also couldn't cross the battle line to deal with the super-heavy cavalry, so they were completely helpless against Gao Lan and Zhang He.

The Qing army's frontline commanders had no choice but to bite the bullet and disperse their forces as much as possible. When blocking the heavy infantry, they tried not to assemble on a large scale, so that the heavy cavalry would have to weigh the value of launching an attack.

After all, every charge would crush one heavy infantryman. Heavy infantrymen themselves had strong defenses, but the charge of heavy cavalrymen could truly crush them.

If the value of launching an attack is less than the value of dying once with the heavy infantry, Zhang He can only watch helplessly.

However, Sun Tzu was ultimately keeping an eye on the battlefield. After discovering that Zhang He was facing such a predicament, he directly transferred Zhang He away. In any case, they had already created enough advantages, and a counter-charge had boosted morale and helped Gao Lan stabilize the defensive line.

In this situation, it's a bit of an overthinking to directly crush the other side. Let Zhang He shine in other places instead.

The two sides quickly fell into a stalemate again. After all, this was a large-scale battlefield war, and even if one side had an advantage, it would take a long time to achieve results.

However, the previous victory had already built up Xinghan's momentum, and they were just waiting for the right moment to unleash a powerful attack and crush them.

And that time is clearly not far off.

Thanks to the efforts of the Flying Bear Army and the Overlord Army, the Xinghan Army and the Qing Army have begun a truly comprehensive engagement.

Under Han Xin's command, the army was arranged in an inverted triangular formation.

The overall structure is not a tight square formation, but rather something akin to a sieve. One hundred people form one lane, another hundred people form another lane, and the three lanes together form a triangular shape. Countless triangular shapes eventually form a giant sieve with a very wide coverage area.

At this moment, the two wings that had naturally extended outwards began to close back, just like a giant mouth closing, about to completely crush the formation engulfed by the giant mouth.

In fact, this formation is not very suitable for offense, and it is very unsuitable for countering cavalry because the bottom of the formation is too weak and the overall defensive line is not dense enough.

It is easy for the enemy to break through, and once broken through, the army will be cut in two. For ordinary officers, being cut in two is basically a death sentence.

For cavalry, once they break through the enemy's defenses, they can turn around and reinforce the position, sending their opponents to their doom. However, if the enemy breaks through the bottom of the V-shape, the cavalry's mobility allows them to split into two groups and turn around to break the two long snake formations. Therefore, this formation is very unsuitable for facing cavalry.

But Han Xin was highly skilled and daring, and he was known for his extreme maneuvers.

He wasn't afraid of having his lines cut off. If they were cut up, he could just reconnect them. As long as he was alive, he could continue to command. Being cut up or anything like that had no impact on him.

It is precisely for this reason that the Qing army still dares not launch a full-scale attack.

Their cavalry crossed the battle line several times, but each time they were completely surrounded and annihilated by Han Xin, as if they had been thrown into a muddy pond.

What initially seemed like an easy-to-break formation turned into a series of traps under Han Xin's command, waiting for the Qing cavalry to fall into them.

Of course, Han Xin was more confident than anything else. He believed that no one could break through the weak point of the Flying Bear Army, the Vanguard Death Squad, and the First Yellow Heaven while the troops were divided to suppress the two flanks.

Han Xin's formation is most vulnerable in the center, which is a straight line. Although it looks like there are many people, they are all used to move and reposition themselves. In reality, it will break at the slightest touch.

However, at its weakest point, three super legions—the Flying Bear Army, the Vanguard Death Squad, and the First Yellow Heaven—were embedded.

Even if the Qing army produced a miraculous legion, it was still defeated by the combination of Flying Bear and Vanguard, and could only rely on large blood packs to maintain the battle line.

Han Xin is also waiting, waiting for the Qing army to produce another miraculous legion, so that the enemy will think they have a chance and take the initiative to attack, making it easier for him to finish the job.

There's no way around it; if the God of War is determined to fight to the death, it's just too much trouble to fight.

Even with an advantage, the situation was like a frog being slowly boiled in water. By the time the Xinghan army finally defeated the Qing army, the casualties and losses would be astronomical.

It's better to wait for the other side to reveal a weakness.

Han Xin, in any case, felt he wasn't afraid of the enemy's military situation, so he didn't care at all what their trump cards were. Han Xin maintained a posture of applying pressure.

Wars are often fought not by paper strength, but by intangible things like morale and mentality.

Therefore, Han Xin was very familiar with creating dangerous pressure.

Since they're not one of our own, it doesn't matter if the pressure is too great and they crush us to death.

After all, a miracle is only truly a miracle if it is born out of the impossible.

Han Xin calmly directed the operation, and the battle lines of each army formation continuously shifted back and forth.

Because of the gap between the front and rear lines, Han Xin was able to immediately retreat the army the moment any legion's losses exceeded a certain limit, and then move the soldiers from the rear to the front.

This staggered deployment, combined with Sun Tzu's foresight into the changing battle lines, left Dorgon with no way to counter Dorgon's desperate efforts.

However, Dorgon remained unmoved by this, as the size of the troops and the ability to switch formations on both sides meant that a quick victory was impossible.

After all, both sides are military geniuses, and under intense command, the soldiers on both sides would fight for a long time.

Moreover, the adjustment of the battle lines by both sides allowed more Qing soldiers to come into contact with more enemies, forcibly honing their skills at a completely uncontrolled intensity.

Dorgon had no good solution to this. His only option was to compete with Sun Tzu and Han Xin in command and hope that two more miracles would emerge from the intense trials of war.

If there were two miracles, Dorgon felt he could put up a fight.

"Forge your miracle with the blood of your enemies!"

Nurhaci also began to exert his strength, pouring all his power into the Imperial Mausoleum Guard. At this point, he could no longer care about the potential long-term consequences.

For the Qing army, winning was the only option.

With Dorgon's generous support, the Imperial Mausoleum Guard's strength was instantly boosted to its limit. Their power, defense, and, most importantly, explosive power were all raised to the extreme.

This power has exceeded the limits of the Imperial Mausoleum Guard. Even with the will of the Empire, this legion has entered a countdown to self-destruction.

"Die!"

Their frenzied attack pattern ignored the Star Han Legion's strikes, unleashing the surging power within them in a near-violent manner.

The power that Nurhaci was exerting at this moment was the power of government plunder, and the imperial mausoleum guards were constantly absorbing the power of killing soldiers as they carried out their frenzied slaughter.

They relied on killing and constantly plundering power, frantically accumulating it, as if they wanted to break through that barrier with sheer strength. However, no matter how many people they killed, how much power they accumulated, or how much inheritance they received from their predecessors, they could not shake that barrier no matter what.

Even they themselves, in this frenzied process of plundering, experienced an infinite increase in their own pressure, making them completely unable to control the power they frantically plundered and absorbed from the inheritance.

"Cut!" Nurhaci gritted his teeth, cut off his own arm, and threw the severed arm toward the imperial tomb guards.

"You're really willing to go all out now!" Mu Yi exclaimed in amazement. Nurhaci's current physique appeared to him to be at least a size smaller than before.

Now, Nurhaci is severing an arm of the imperial will he represents, which is an even more insane act.

If Mu Yi burning the empire's will was bleeding it dry, then Nurhaci is now risking his life.

But it was too late.

Mu Yi now clearly understands Han Xin and Sun Tzu's plans. Nurhaci is also considered a military genius, but he has been out of touch with war for too long and is simply unable to adapt to the current battlefield.

They simply cannot keep up with the thinking of these military geniuses.

But being a man of humble origins, he ultimately chose the most ruthless method.

The arm that Nurhaci had discarded transformed into a stream of light and landed directly on the soldiers around Nurhaci.

The Imperial Mausoleum Guards, who were originally just one step away from crossing the threshold and could not overcome it no matter what, finally had enough strength to push their talents to the limit.

Their muscles were swelling, even showing traces of blood, and then, under the frenzied repair of a massive amount of power, this became the reason for their strength.

A pillar of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, rose up on the battlefield, and the Qing army's second miracle legion appeared on the battlefield.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Kill the enemy leader on the other side!" At this moment, Dorgon saw a glimmer of hope for turning the tide.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered all the elite troops, assigned them their respective tasks, and then personally led the Imperial Mausoleum Guard to charge towards Mu Yi's location.

At this moment, Dorgon directly demonstrated his lightning-fast, swift, and unpredictable military skills, leading the last elite troops like a dragon, easily weaving through all the gaps and rushing towards Mu Yi's direction.

After bypassing Fei Xiong and Xian Deng, Dorgon led the last of his elite troops toward Mu Yi.

Unfortunately, the bottom of the formation that Han Xin set up was the weakest and most vulnerable point.

Dorgon had discovered this before but had no way to utilize it, but now it has come in handy.

"Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive."

Mu Yi sized up Dorgon, who was charging straight at him, then looked up at Nurhaci and mocked him.

"What, are you planning to tear off another leg and throw it down?" Mu Yi looked at Nurhaci curiously.

At this moment, Nurhaci had shrunk considerably and was missing an arm; it was clear that he had suffered a serious injury.

"Keep being stubborn, let's see how long you can hold out!" Nurhaci didn't care about Mu Yi's taunts at all.

He was watching Dorgon intently, simultaneously taking command of the army in Dorgon's place and frantically supplying Dorgon's legions with resources to ensure they were always in top condition.

"It seems that they are the final opponent!"

Ma Er slowly landed on the ground; they had received Mu Yi's explicit orders.

Defeat the Imperial Guard, and then take advantage of the momentum to completely destroy the enemy's main base.

They had waited far too long for this final curtain call. (End of Chapter)
