Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

When Du Yu arrived with his cavalry, he saw Sima Yi's army revealing a weakness in its rear.

"Could it really be that simple?"

Du Yu found it hard to believe, but Sima Yi's rear army, which he had not been prepared for, was right in front of him.

If this is bait, then this bait is fighting with the lives of soldiers.

Dealing with this kind of person is definitely not a smart move; if you just drag things out for two days, the other side will start making trouble on its own.

After a brief moment of thought, Du Yu immediately decided to take action.

He divided his cavalry into three groups and surrounded Sima Yi's army from three directions.

Whether it was a coincidence or a design, Du Yu was not going to let this opportunity slip by.

He has been suppressed for far too long, from the beginning until now.

Now that he's on his own turf, he has to go all out.

"kill!"

The earth trembled violently. Sima Yi's army seemed to have just discovered Du Yu and his men. The rear guard turned around in panic, and the entire army began to turn.

Seeing the reaction of Sima Yi's army, Du Yu became more convinced.

The opposing side reacted quickly and changed tactics rapidly, which fully demonstrates the remarkable capabilities of their commander.

However, since it was a last-minute change of formation, the overall situation still appeared somewhat chaotic, and even the clouds above the army's heads were somewhat scattered.

This was absolutely the best time to attack, Du Yu judged, and then ordered the cavalry battalion to go ahead and provide assistance.

"kill!"

Because of the cavalry's astonishing speed, there was only a short time between Du Yu seeing Sima Yi's army and Sima Yi's army beginning to change formation.

Du Yu was less than a mile away from Sima Yi's rear army.

Even Du Yu could see the expressions in the eyes of the soldiers on the other side.

That was an undeniable calmness.

After all, any normal person would instinctively feel fear and apprehension when faced with a large group of cavalry charging towards them.

But these soldiers were not like that; they were like robots, showing no emotion whatsoever.

These were Sima Yi's puppet soldiers, perfect cannon fodder to be used and worn down.

"Why are you so calm?" A question flashed through Du Yu's mind.

Regardless of Sima Yi's hidden plans, the power of their cavalry charge is certain. No matter how strong an infantry legion is, it will suffer heavy losses when facing a cavalry charge.

In a battle between cavalry and infantry, cavalry would undoubtedly have the advantage.

Unless it's a special legion like Yue Fei's Beiwei Army or the First Yellow Heaven Legion.

Then the Turkic army was one of them.

The Houtu Legion isn't one of those legions with explosive combat power, but they do have their own fighting style.

Especially when dealing with cavalry.

Cavalry charging infantry is indeed an advantage, but if cavalry charges a city wall, the situation is quite different.

Looking at Sima Yi's army, which was still frantically changing formation, a cruel smile flashed across Du Yu's lips. With such a large cavalry charge, no infantry could possibly stop them.

When they were about a hundred paces away from the rear guard, the cavalrymen were met with their first volley of arrows, and dozens of cavalrymen were shot down.

Not all cavalry are like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, capable of ignoring all ranged attacks.

However, Du Yu still deployed his elite cavalry at the forefront, which, even if not as strong as heavy cavalry, were still capable of blocking most of the arrows.

"Soldiers, heed my command and follow me to kill the enemy!"

Du Yu roared, unleashing his spiritual talent—Arsenal.

His talent can directly enhance the equipment of soldiers, and activating it actively can further improve the enhancement effect.

The ability is more akin to logistics or advance military preparation; otherwise, its effectiveness in actual combat is lower than that of others.

"Pfft!" As the first cannon fodder was pierced, countless other cannon fodder were pierced by spears in the next instant. Almost instantly, the cavalry broke through the first line of defense of the rear army, and then broke through the second line of defense with almost no decrease in speed.

The cavalry on both flanks were about to take advantage of the chaos to cut off the enemy.

Just as he was about to rush into the crowd, his foot suddenly slipped and he was thrown off balance.

The Houtu Legion has made its move.

Just as Du Yuzhi was feeling smug, a low wall suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right around the camp.

What was originally an unstoppable cavalry charge turned into a near-suicidal attack.

The cavalry on both flanks still had a way to retreat and could adjust their angle.

Although they will suffer considerable damage, there is no problem at all in withdrawing and reorganizing the offensive.

But the cavalry in the central army had absolutely no hope.

There was no way to avoid the cavalry of Houtu's army head-on.
All they could do was roar and slam their heads against the wall at top speed, trying to break it down and clear a path for the soldiers behind them.

Unfortunately, the things built by Houtu's army did not have any safety or quality issues.

The cavalry charged at top speed, instantly shattering into pieces; the wall showed no signs of collapse whatsoever.

Ji Jian's divine move buried these cavalrymen completely in the ground.

While the first cavalrymen were being crushed and bleeding, the cavalrymen behind them desperately slowed down and avoided being killed.

But this was only the beginning of the nightmare; the danger of death still haunted all the cavalrymen.

Cavalry are the uncrowned kings of the battlefield, but they need speed and distance to achieve the most powerful charge.

But when the cavalry slowed down, or even paced in place.

The cavalrymen instantly transformed from terrifying killing machines into prey.

After Hou Tu's army withstood the first wave of attack, three legionary units immediately emerged from behind, carrying swords and shields, and launched a counter-charge against Du Yu and his cavalry from both sides.

"Follow me and kill!" Wei Yan, who was following behind the Jin army, was overjoyed and led his elite troops out of the light and shadow.

Du Yu, who had just been trying to break through Sima Yi's rear army, was now surrounded.

Wei Yan switched his talent combination, transforming himself from a scout into a capable and resilient infantry legion.

Attacked from both sides, Du Yu's cavalry instantly collapsed.

A near-perfect fishing trip, time to pack up.

Du Yu still wanted to struggle a bit more, wanting to show off his command and dispatch skills, and fight his way out using the soldiers' talent.

At this moment, Sima Yi unleashed his spiritual talent, suppressing all other talents and allowing the battlefield to return to the most basic command and skills.

All the buffs were taken back, and everyone returned to the most primal battle.

Sima Yi's side was more adaptable to the situation, while the Jin army was in complete chaos, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Even though it was a fishing attempt, Sima Yi still suffered considerable losses.

Even though most of them are just cannon fodder who die, the puppet soldiers who serve as cannon fodder are still extremely valuable living forces.

Fortunately, these sacrifices were meaningful; they slowed down the cavalry charge with their bodies, allowing Hou Tu's army to launch a more ferocious counterattack.

In dealing with the charge, Hou Tu's army suffered almost no casualties.

The war is in full swing.

If it weren't for Du Yu's caution in dividing the cavalry into three groups, the situation would have been a complete collapse. Under Du Yu's command, most of these cavalrymen had dismounted and begun to fight as infantry.

A small contingent of cavalrymen roamed the vicinity, constantly probing and encouraging the infantry, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry's morale had already reached its peak when they broke through the rear guard, they would probably have collapsed by now.

Du Yu gritted his teeth and persevered, waiting for reinforcements to arrive from the city.

Even if he fails, the city's defenders still have a chance to turn the tide after they launch an attack.

So when the bugle sounded in the city, the Jin army's morale, which had been declining, began to rise again.

"The general commanding this city is quite capable; it seems there are still quite a few talented people in the Jin Dynasty!" Sima Yi surveyed the soldiers who were marching out of the city and forming ranks.

The enemy was very cautious and did not rush to rescue Du Yu. Instead, they went out of the city and formed ranks first, not giving Sima Yi any chance to launch a sneak attack.

"Reinforcements have left the city! Everyone, follow me and kill!" Du Yu roared, and morale began to rise steadily.

Spurred by high morale, the Jin soldiers launched a fierce counterattack.

The soldiers on both sides fought desperately.

No matter how strong you are, falling under the trampling of cavalry means death!

Similarly, no matter how skilled you are, being pulled off a horse almost always means death!

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Xu Huang, intercept them! Be quick!"

Sima Yi played his trump card, Xu Huang, who led his elite troops in a diagonal charge, bursting forth in a straight line, intending to directly break through the Jin army's formation.

Before the troops inside the city dared to come over, they killed all the Jin soldiers on this side.

"Cavalry, charge with me!"

Du Yu realized this and immediately led all the remaining cavalrymen who were still on horseback to fight.

However, instead of targeting Xu Huang, he charged directly at Sima Yi.

"Want to kill me?"

Sima Yi was very surprised; he hadn't expected Du Yu to make such a decision.

This is very irrational.

After all, Du Yu wasn't a military strategist like Xiang Yu or Guan Yu.

To think you could take Sima Yi's head amidst a vast army is simply wishful thinking.

Although he schemed against Du Yu, given Du Yu's demonstrated abilities, he shouldn't have acted so recklessly in this situation.

Could it be that he missed some information?
Sima Yi frowned, but still found nothing.

On the contrary, Du Yu's fearless charge tore a gap in the battle line and charged toward Sima Yi.

The situation seems to be turning around.

But Sima Yi's expression remained unchanged; he had arranged for five hundred elite Hou Tu troops to be by his side.

Those mere cavalrymen who want to kill him are better off giving up and going to sleep.

As before, Houtu's army used earthen walls to withstand the cavalry charge, then turned around and merged with the earth to form earthen armor, like giant terracotta warriors, wielding halberds and directly crushing the cavalry led by Du Yu.

"catch him!"

Sima Yi pointed at Du Yu and ordered the soldiers of the Houtu Legion to go and arrest him.

Although Du Yu seems to be at his wit's end, Sima Yi is certain that Du Yu is a great general, so he wants to recruit Du Yu to his service.

He had a vague idea of ​​Du Yu's current change in mindset.

The current situation is definitely not something Du Yu orchestrated; in fact, he may have been remotely controlled.

Defeated under such circumstances, Du Yu must have been seething with anger.

With a little guidance, it will surely flow towards the Jin Dynasty.

The garrison in Luoyang launched an attack; they could not stand idly by and watch Du Yu be eliminated.

As the Luoyang garrison, led by the Military Soul Legion, rushed towards Sima Yi, a trap as wide as a moat was revealed.

Hundreds of soldiers plunged in without any warning.

"Build a bridge, charge across!"

The officers and soldiers in Luoyang were in a panic. They had mastered the secret technique for laying the cloud channel, but it was useless under Sima Yi's blockade. Instead, they ended up trapping hundreds more soldiers.

In situations like this, they can only use the most primitive methods to build a bridge.

Unfortunately, Sima Yi had already left his men here. Anyone who dared to build a bridge was immediately shot down with arrows and then retreated into the protection of their teammates.

Despite interference from fewer than two thousand men, the Luoyang garrison was unable to pass through for a considerable period.

They could only watch helplessly as Du Yu's troops were continuously cut off and annihilated.

"Retreat! Back to the city!"

After several unsuccessful attempts, the general defending the city decisively ordered a retreat, withdrawing back into Luoyang and completely sealing off the city gates.

"What did you say?" Sima Yan was dumbfounded when he heard his subordinate report.

He did intend to get rid of Du Yu, but that would only be after Du Yu had won the battle.

Now that Du Yu has been defeated and his fate is unknown, Luoyang seems to be in imminent danger.

"Your Majesty, please recall the northern border troops!" his officers hurriedly advised.

Sima Yan's face stiffened upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.

The northern nomads are fierce, but this group of rebels in the south is even fiercer. He really needs to recall the border troops.

With the enemy at the gates, able to build earthen mounds to attack the city walls at any time, Sima Yan felt no sense of security whatsoever.

"Issue my decree: recall the border troops!" After careful consideration, Sima Yan decided to mobilize the troops.

Outside of Luoyang, Sima Yi was very pleased after clearing the battlefield.

Du Yu was captured by Wei Yan, which was the biggest gain.

"General Du, this is our first meeting, isn't it?" Sima Yi looked at Du Yu, who had been ushered into the main tent, and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"Who exactly are you?" Du Yu finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

"I, Sima Yi, come from the Star Han Empire!" Sima Yi wanted to win over Du Yu, so he didn't hide anything and directly stated his identity.

"You say you are the founding emperor of our dynasty?" Du Yu's expression was strange, looking at the still very young Sima Yi, not knowing what to say.

This feeling of seeing a ghost is truly bizarre.

"I am Sima Yi, but I am not your great-grandfather. If we must say, we are just two similar flowers!" Sima Yi explained with a smile.

Du Yu had some prior speculations, so he accepted it quickly.

"Where exactly is Xinghan, and what kind of country is it?"

Du Yu was like a curious child, constantly asking questions that puzzled him.

He had far too many questions in his mind.

Sima Yi was very patient, answering Du Yu's questions one by one. (End of Chapter)
