Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 966 Wen Yang's Doubts
They learned that the troops that attempted to attack had been completely annihilated.
The Jin army commander was nearly driven mad. He couldn't understand how the enemy could so accurately destroy their raiding force amidst such thick fog.
"General, the enemy is still attacking!"
The messenger's voice startled him awake.
At that moment, the commander felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
If the other side had some special method to break through their fog, that would be one thing.
But if the other side completely overwhelmed them with sheer firepower, then it's not a difference in any other way.
It is not a difference in strength, but rather the purest difference in ability.
"How could this be!" The Jin army commander couldn't understand it at all.
Where did this group of enemies come from? Could they really be former troops of Eastern Wu, a large force returning from overseas?
Just as the Jin army commander was having second thoughts, Wen Yang was already exhausted.
He held the city to the death, but no reinforcements came.
Despite trying every possible method to rotate and rest subordinates, it was still a drop in the ocean.
Sima Yi made the most of the puppet soldiers' ability to not need rest, so Wen Yang's soldiers had no way to get proper rest.
Sima Yi even had war drums carried to the city walls and beaten them every now and then, keeping the soldiers inside the city awake.
"The time is almost right. Prepare for the final assault and take over this city!" Sima Yi stared at the city before him.
Wen Yang was indeed a capable general, his defense was watertight, and he managed to hold on despite the frequent attacks.
But it's time to end it.
His strategy will definitely not stop here.
Following Sima Yi's orders, Taishi Ci and his men did not launch a three-sided attack as usual, but instead launched a four-sided attack.
The North Gate, which had never been used by troops before, became the main force in the attack this time.
The soldiers inside the city were exhausted and caught off guard, and the entire city wall was on the verge of collapse.
"Ziyi, lead your troops to attack the city immediately and take it as quickly as possible!"
Taishi Ci, who had been waiting for orders, immediately led his troops to advance from thirty miles away after receiving Sima Yi's command. His main force had been conserving its strength and waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
"Military band, beat the drums to cheer us on!"
Sima Yi ordered the military band to play war drums, music adapted from the Dijiang Legion's music, which greatly stirred the blood of his own soldiers and instilled fear in the enemy soldiers.
It was useless against the puppet soldiers, but it was still a considerable boost to Taishi Ci's main force and the Eagle Banner Legion attacking from the east and west gates.
More importantly, it is devastating to the enemy soldiers. Exhausted soldiers may even die from shock and rage under the influence of this music.
"Beat it all up, the louder the better!" the drummer of the military band roared, and the drumbeats became more and more intense.
"Charge with me!"
Taishi Ci roared and charged toward the city wall with his halberd. He took advantage of the chaos to leap onto the wall using the ladder.
Before the surrounding soldiers could pour boiling oil over him, Fangtian Huaji swept across, instantly killing more than a dozen people even under the suppression of the clouds, and gained a foothold on the city wall.
"Kill him, and you'll be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold pieces!" The officer guarding the city wall sensed something was terribly wrong and shouted from afar.
"Is this all the head of mine is worth?"
Taishi Ci laughed loudly and swung his halberd, a beam of light tens of meters long instantly vaporizing the roaring officer.
A top-tier warrior like him, without a dedicated sniper unit or corresponding powerful figures to intercept him, could easily dominate the crowd.
Before this, Taishi Ci had already used his archery skills to take down the archers on the city wall one by one.
At this moment, there was no organized squad on the city wall that could threaten Taishi Ci.
"You thief, prepare to die!"
Wen Yang roared and charged at Tai Shi Ci.
As the spears and halberds clashed, Wen Yang's heart sank; yet another master had appeared.
Where did all these experts come from?
Breaking the boundary isn't something that happens easily; there were only three or four such people in the entire Jin Dynasty, yet two or three of them emerged from the rebel army.
"I am Wen Yang. Who are you? State your name!"
"Taishi Ci!" Taishi Ci announced his address.
"Taishi Ci has been dead for decades. Who exactly are you people? Pretending to be former officials of Eastern Wu, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?!"
Taishi Ci never imagined that one day he would have to prove that he was himself.
"No matter who we are, you are doomed to defeat today!" Taishi Ci was too lazy to argue with Wen Yang.
Once he's captured, he'll know who he is.
"Counterattack immediately and drive them down!" Wen Yang roared.
However, once the fight started, Wen Yang realized that Taishi Ci's personal guards were not in the same league as the puppet soldiers they had fought before.
Even though Taishi Ci's main force was cavalry, their combat effectiveness had decreased due to the loss of their warhorses, but they still held an absolute advantage over Wen Yang's soldiers.
Taishi Ci's personal guards rushed up the siege ladder and fought desperately towards both sides of the city wall, quickly clearing out a section of the wall.
"Damn it! If my main force hadn't scattered, how could you have been allowed to run rampant here!" Wen Yang roared repeatedly, but he couldn't defeat Tai Shi Ci.
The two fought fiercely, but Wen Yang felt as if she were bound by a rope, which tightened little by little, leaving her no room to breathe.
"You are indignant, but little do you know that you have fallen into my marshal's trap. Your current predicament was exactly what my marshal had anticipated!"
"Is your marshal Lu Xun, Lü Meng, or Zhou Yu and Lu Su?!" Wen Yang roared.
He guessed that the other side was starting a rebellion under the guise of former officials of Sun Wu. To be honest, this was not surprising, but what was surprising was that they could actually find so many people to impersonate them.
It's meaningless to randomly pick someone and say they are Gan Ning or Taishi Ci.
But to drag out a transgression and claim that he is the reincarnation of Gan Ning or Taishi Ci would really cause a lot of trouble.
Such talk of ghosts and spirits is most likely to cause a stir.
The country was finally unified, so where did these treacherous officials and rebels come from?
"General! The east gate has fallen!" a messenger roared as he reported the news.
Wen Yang was startled and reacted a beat too late, almost getting stabbed in the chest by Taishi Ci's halberd.
"Retreat, retreat!" Wen Yang had lost all interest in continuing to entangle with Tai Shi Ci. With the east gate breached, the city could no longer be defended.
Seeing Wen Yang retreat in panic, Taishi Ci nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
"middle!"
With a twang of a bow, Wen Yang screamed in agony as an arrow pierced his chest.
"General, flee at once!"
Wen Yang's personal guards knew something was wrong after he was shot. They desperately held back the enemies rushing towards them, while the others carried Wen Yang and ran straight towards the city center. "Report! Enemy troops are pouring in at the east and west gates, and there are also enemy troops at the north gate!" a soldier covered in blood shouted.
"Charge out through the north gate!"
Wen Yang pulled out the arrow and forcibly sealed his heart meridian. Tai Shi Ci's arrow was imbued with divine will, so he couldn't fully recover for a while.
But the more desperate the situation, the more it tests a person's abilities.
Wen Yang was exceptionally clear-headed at that moment, and immediately sent a signal to summon all his soldiers, intending to break out from the north gate.
Although there were many people at the North Gate, there had been no strong attack before, so the gate was not completely blocked. It was originally a passage left by Wen Yang to receive reinforcements into the city, but now it had become an escape route.
Wen Yang knew very well that he had to escape with his troops, otherwise the enemy could intercept him halfway by just a few skilled fighters.
He had to lead his troops out of there.
The soldiers at the north gate are all puppet soldiers. They look menacing, but their attack strength is far weaker than that at the east and west gates.
As for the South Gate, with Taishi Ci there, Wen Yang knew they had no chance of breaking through.
"Kill!" Despite his injuries, Wen Yang led the army at the front, carving a bloody path through the north gate.
"What did you say?" When Sima Yi received the news, he even doubted his ears.
The wounded Wen Yang activated his Legion talent and, like a war god, led more than 5,000 people out of the North Gate and fled towards the river.
This was no longer just unbelievable; it was so outrageous that Sima Yi would laugh in exasperation.
Wen Yang was like a general descended from heaven in a storybook; he actually fought his way out of the city, which Sima Yi found hard to believe.
"Order Taishi Ci to lead his troops on horseback to pursue them immediately. At the same time, send someone to inform Gan Ning that he must not let a single one escape. I want to see if this Wen Yang really has three heads and six arms!"
Sima Yi was now genuinely interested in Wen Yang. If Wen Yang escaped with their current lineup, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Thinking of this, Sima Yi simply activated his mental talent. No matter what the talents of Wen Yang's Legion were, he would seal them all and see how they could struggle.
Imperial will is not omnipotent. If Wen Yang can still escape after being attacked from both sides, then Sima Yi should really pack his bags and prepare to go home.
"What is this?" Wen Yang, who was fleeing, only felt a wave sweep over him, and his Legion Talent disappeared without a trace, as if he had never had it at all.
"How is this possible?" Wen Yang covered his head, knowing that it was Sima Yi and his men who did it, but he had no way to find a way to break it.
"hateful!"
Wen Yang was genuinely panicking at this moment. His legion's talent was called "Backwater," which allowed him to maximize the fighting power of himself and his soldiers when facing difficulties and desperate situations.
That's why he was able to lead his troops out of the encirclement despite being injured.
While the puppet soldiers' weak combat capabilities were partly to blame, the biggest reason was the legion's exceptional talent.
The strengthened troops could even overpower Taishi Ci's personal guards, but their weakness was also obvious: Wen Yang himself.
To maximize the activation of this talent, Wen Yang can only be severely injured. In this state, Wen Yang is like walking a tightrope, extremely vulnerable while possessing great strength.
Originally, his tightrope walking talent gave him formidable combat prowess, which was why he was confident in escaping back to the north.
Now, however, Sima Yi directly sealed him away, and Wen Yang's formidable fighting power was gone, leaving him only with severe injuries.
"Leave two thousand men to cover the retreat!"
Wen Yang gritted his teeth, knowing that there would definitely be pursuers behind them, so he simply left nearly half of his men to cover their retreat and buy time, while he led the rest of his men to run towards the river.
As we approached the riverbank, we heard a loud laugh.
"Wen Yang, your Grandpa Gan has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Upon receiving the news, Gan Ning naturally led most of his elite troops to set up an ambush, just to give Wen Yang a surprise.
"Suffer to death!"
Gan Ning took a deep breath and frantically mobilized the cloud energy. The cloud energy reserves on the ship converged on Gan Ning's body along the formation he had set up.
Sima Yi's intellectual talent has now enabled him to distinguish between friend and foe, and through strategic transformation, he can gain an advantage over all strategists.
"Break it for me!"
Wen Yang was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death, so he also mobilized the cloud energy of his troops to bombard Gan Ning.
The cloud whale smashed through the legion's attack and then hurtled towards Wen Yang.
boom!
A massive storm swept across the land.
The scattered Wen Yang troops were blown away, while Gan Ning's side was completely blocked by the protective shield formed by the cloud energy reserves of the ships.
"Hahaha, Wen Yang, you brat, hurry up and dismount to surrender!" Gan Ning laughed loudly and led his troops forward.
"Boom!"
With a series of booming sounds, Gan Ning and Wen Yang engaged in a fierce battle, and their soldiers fought desperately.
After exchanging thirty blows, Gan Ning was defeated.
"Pfft!" Gan Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, wiping it directly across the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand.
"Again?" Gan Ning couldn't help but curse as he looked at the imperial will radiating from Wen Yang's body.
You only used it once, why are you using this skill as a permanent skill?
"I refuse to believe it today!" Gan Ning roared and pounced on Wen Yang again. He was determined to wear Wen Yang down, even if it meant exhaustion.
But facts speak louder than words. Even if Wen Yang didn't have the talent of a legion commander, Gan Ning still couldn't suppress Wen Yang. In fact, he was even injured by Wen Yang in a head-on confrontation.
Just as Gan Ning was pondering whether he should also invoke the will of the empire, Taishi Ci arrived at the battlefield.
"Gan Xingba, I'm here to help you!"
Taishi Ci roared, and his halberd slashed down at Wen Yang with the force of a thunderbolt.
"You are despicable and shameless!" Wen Yang roared repeatedly.
One against one is already difficult enough, let alone one against two. Neither of these two is easy to deal with.
"You cheated yourself, and you still have the nerve to criticize us?" Gan Ning cursed angrily. If Wen Yang hadn't cheated by using the Empire's will, he would have been captured long ago, and wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
"Kid, do you think this is child's play? This is war!"
Gan Ning decided to throw caution to the wind and confront Wen Yang with the harsh reality of the situation.
I'm determined to take down that kid Wen Yang today, no matter what.
"kill!"
A layer of turquoise internal energy appeared on Gan Ning's Hengjiang Iron Chain, assisting Taishi Ci in attacking Wen Yang from various tricky angles.
Wen Yang was not Lü Bu, so naturally he couldn't stop Gan Ning and Taishi Ci from joining forces.
Although the Imperial Will is omnipotent, it is not invincible. When surrounded and attacked by two experts, Wen Yang was quickly defeated.
"Hahaha, come here!"
Gan Ning pulled on the iron chain across the river, binding Wen Yang tightly.
Wen Yang roared repeatedly but could not break free. Just as he was about to fight Gan Ning to the death, Taishi Ci's halberd struck the back of his head, instantly plunging Wen Yang into silence.
"The enemy general has been defeated, why don't you all surrender immediately!"
Gan Ning lifted Wen Yang up, and the entire battlefield fell silent instantly. The Jin army lost all will to fight, dropping their weapons and surrendering. (End of Chapter)
