Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 639: The War Towards Collapse
The leading Qing general was named Aisin-Gioro Aljin. He roared and rushed into the Xinghan formation. The elite troops behind him also poured in through the gap.
But the emperor's guards in front of him were completely unmoved. They stood quietly in place, as heavy as a mountain.
"Break it!" Aljin roared and burst out with all his strength, making a gesture to break through the emperor's guards. However, the Guandao in his hand chopped down head-on, and he suddenly felt the pressure coming from the front.
The Guandao was blocked by the huge shield, sparks flew but it remained motionless. Aljin showed a look of surprise, which then turned into horror.
I saw long spears piercing out from behind the giant shield, straight towards Aljin's body, like a dragnet that covered him.
These giant shields are specially customized versions of tower shields by Huang Tianji, and they are also mixed with a large amount of netherworld ore, so that they have additional resistance to will attacks.
Ordinary attacks could hardly break the shield, and his internal Qi had left his body and could not be dealt with by ordinary people. However, at this moment the clouds on the battlefield were extremely thick, with as many as one million soldiers participating in the battle, and the clouds on both sides were entangled together.
Not to mention that Aljin had extremely powerful internal energy, even Lu Bu would find it difficult to deal head-on with this super soldier holding a huge shield.
The Emperor's guards stood as still as a mountain not to show off, but because their equipment was too heavy. Under the cloud, their internal energy was infinitely suppressed. In terms of physique alone, even these elite soldiers created by Huang Tianji could not use these heavy equipment for a long time.
Of course, holding this giant shield, they don't need to attack by themselves. They just need to withstand the enemy's attack, and the auxiliary legion will attack on their behalf.
So they stood there motionless.
Aljin, an extremely powerful person with pure internal energy, was suppressed by the cloud energy. He held the Guandao in his hand and with the help of Ma Li, he failed to cut through the giant shield at all.
Covered by the spear, Aljin fell off his horse and rolled backwards.
Although the man escaped the attack, the BMW under his crotch was instantly pierced by the spear and he died.
"Throw javelins!" the centurion roared and gave the order.
Several short spears flew out instantly, but were directly knocked away by Aljin who stood up.
"What a tough legion!" Although Aljin escaped death, his face looked extremely ugly at the moment.
To be the commander of an Eight Banners cavalry corps, one must not only be brave and good at fighting, but also have some basic knowledge of military command.
If even he couldn't break the giant shield, then his elite troops, facing this continuous shield wall, would have a chance to break through the giant shield unless they used piercing weapons like heavy guns and relied on explosive techniques. But the problem was where to change to heavy guns at this time.
As for using the blade to chop the giant shield into pieces, he himself was not sure.
As for relying on charging to break through the formation, it was nonsense. He saw clearly that the physical fitness of these shield-bearing soldiers was even better than that of the Eight Banners Cavalry. They were proficient in various blocking and force-relieving techniques. It was not an exaggeration to call them a living city wall.
There is no reason for cavalry to ram the city walls.
Seeing that the charge of the Eight Banners Cavalry was completely blocked by the Emperor's immovable guards, the soldiers hiding behind the large shields immediately raised their spears and rushed forward. Danyang also took out his strong bow and rushed towards the Eight Banners Cavalry that was blocked by the guards.
Originally, the Eight Banners cavalry were highly skilled in their skills, and Danyang's powerful arrows were only rarely effective. However, this time the Eight Banners cavalry was a little slow in their movements, so that dozens of soldiers were pierced by arrows.
Huang Gai and others directly blocked the retreat of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and they fired their powerful single-shot crossbows without reservation.
For a time, the elite Eight Banners cavalry led by Aljin were beaten to pieces and could only hold on with great difficulty.
Of course, Duoduo would not sit idly by and watch one of his elite troops being annihilated. In fact, when Zhou Yu mobilized his troops, he had already anticipated this.
However, his choice was different from what Zhou Yu had imagined. He did not send people to defeat Huang Gai and others for support. Instead, he took advantage of the flaws in the line caused by Zhou Yu's mobilization of manpower, concentrated his superior forces, and began to force a breakthrough.
"Besiege Wei to save Zhao?" Zhou Yu did hesitate for a moment. The opponent's order was completely unreasonable. He could not judge whether this was an order issued by a mentally retarded person or if the opponent had something to rely on.
"No matter whether you are really crazy or not, I want to eat this Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and I will intercept you too!"
Zhou Yu became ruthless and chose to take them all.
Both sides still had a large number of troops that had not yet been deployed to the war. He didn't believe that he could not stop the enemy's advance with more than 100,000 people, so he had to mobilize the Emperor's Guards to come to the rescue.
"Sun Ce, Xu Sheng, and Ling Tong, listen to my orders. You are to take your troops to stop the enemy." Zhou Yu directly sent all the troops around him to the front line.
He didn't believe that he couldn't stop the opponent.
Just as Zhou Yu was mobilizing men to block the attack and the other side was using superior forces to encircle and suppress the enemy, Duoduo revealed another trump card.
"The secret method of Huang Xian, the transformation of heaven and man!"
Accompanied by bursts of shouts, a large group of soldiers with weasel-like appearance launched a charge. Along with the charge, large patches of yellow gas spread directly towards the Xinghan soldiers in front.
The javelin team following closely behind threw a large number of javelins at the Xinghan soldiers who were covered in yellow gas.
Different from those fake javelin throwers who were converted from archers, the members of these javelin teams were all throwers with special talents. With the blessing of elite talents, the power of their javelins and spears was in no way inferior to that of heavy spears!
Seeing that his javelin team had achieved remarkable results, Duoduo immediately sent in his elite troops to break the formation. Another Eight Banners cavalry roared and unleashed the power of the Eight Banners to the limit.
Phantom flames burned on the bodies of the soldiers who broke through the formation, and their momentum also rose.
"war!"
The leading officer Aisin-Gioro Shangjie directly burst out with his legion's talent. A blood-red glow made the morale of the soldiers behind him rise again and again. Even blood-red scales appeared on the bodies of his subordinates, and his soldiers became like snake monsters.
The battle line that Zhou Yu set up to block Duoduo's heavy assault collapsed instantly. The javelins, which were already difficult to defend against, became even more tilted by the interference of the yellow gas. The defense line set up by Zhou Yu was pierced through almost instantly.
"What happened?" Zhou Yu frowned. Although he didn't know what the yellow gas was, he knew that the collapse of the front line was definitely related to that thing.
"The wind blows!" Zhou Yu's mental power moved the clouds, and immediately a strong wind blew across the battlefield. The originally spreading yellow gas immediately rolled back, and a large number of Qing soldiers fell down in chaos.
However, the legions led by Aisin-Gioro Shangjie were well prepared.
"Report to the general, the smell is too fishy and unpleasant. The soldiers really can't stand it..." The officers at the front line came back to report.
"Despicable!" Zhou Yu immediately saw through the essence of the Qing army's move.
It is certainly the same principle as the secret method of the demon fairy that Yu Dayou mentioned before, but I didn't expect that it actually involves the fart of a weasel.
The key to this move was its strangeness. If they had known this earlier, they would have had a thousand ways to guard against it, but at this moment, several of their defense lines were broken.
The situation on the battlefield began to tilt towards the Qing army.
"Let the mercenary corps take over!"
"Have Peacock Rider head this way and shoot a round of arrows!"
Zhou Yu gave the order coldly. The opponent's move was indeed strange. He had no choice but to reveal his trump card first.
Two mercenary corps, along with several large mercenaries, rushed towards the Eight Banners cavalry.
At the same time, seeing the enemy's single-army attack, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and then sent out four reserve legions again, intending to cooperate with Sun Ce to cut off the isolated Qing army and then strangle it.
Duoduo was calmly mobilizing his troops. He was not worried about Zhou Yu's reaction at all. All he had to do was to continue to invest troops, tie up all of Zhou Yu's energy, and then wait for the armies on both sides to be in place, and then begin to strangle Zhou Yu.
So, no matter how Zhou Yu responded, he didn't care, he just needed to maintain the current balance.
The transformation between hunter and prey often happens in a matter of moments, so he is not in a hurry at all.
However, at this moment, Duoduo's light and shadow screen scanned several spots of light in the sky.
In the moment when Duoduo saw it with his peripheral vision, and within the one second when he focused all his attention, the distorted light spots with fire had been magnified many times, and densely filled his field of vision.
"What is this?" Duoduo made a judgment after a moment.
"Beyond visual range to attack the long-range legion? Damn it!"
"Launch a counterattack immediately! We must not let him continue to attack!"
Duoduo's face looked a little ugly, and he quickly gave orders, asking his own beyond-visual-range legion to launch a reverse attack based on the trajectory of the opponent's arrows, at least to limit the opponent's continued attack, otherwise the legion he sent out might really be intercepted and surrounded.
By then it won't be possible to rescue them.
However, before he could mobilize the clouds to launch an attack from the army to block the crossbow arrows in the sky, two thousand arrows as strong as spears had already shot into the Qing army's line at an angle of thirty degrees to the ground.
Even with the protection of blood-red scales, facing an attack of this intensity from the Peacock Riders, they could still be shot in the vitals and killed with one arrow.
When the crossbow arrow, which was almost as big as a spear, came over with a visual distortion of fire, even the top masters who had practiced and broken through the realm felt a chill on their backs. Just one shot, just one shot to hit the vital point, would definitely be enough to cause fatal damage to these masters.
The rear half of the Eight Banners Cavalry was cut off in an instant, and the soldiers waiting on both sides immediately rushed in along the broken battle line, trying to cut the battle line and surround the invading Eight Banners Cavalry.
The Qing army camp launched bursts of arrows and countless javelins, attacking this area directly, as if they were determined to lock down this area at all costs.
Xinghan was not willing to be outdone and started to fight back directly.
The crazy shooting of javelins and crossbows caused great damage to the melee soldiers on both sides. Even though both sides were equipped with armor, it was difficult for ordinary armor to provide decent protection against such powerful medium-range attacks.
Even for a guard with a gifted talent, it would be difficult for him to withstand such a large-scale attack with a shield.
Even if they can withstand it once or twice, it is simply a dream to want to withstand it dozens or even hundreds of times.
The intensity of the war between the two sides instantly rose to a higher level at this moment, and the casualty rate increased significantly.
In the end, it was Zhou Yu who could not bear the losses first and gave up the encirclement and suppression, and began to exert pressure in other places.
On the Qing side, after seeing Sun Ce rushing over, they also cooperated and withdrew, restoring the battle line to its previous balance.
Zhou Yu and Duoduo returned to normal as if nothing had happened just now, and reduced the intensity of the battlefield.
They all knew that now was not the time to explode completely.
However, neither side gave up on killing the other. Zhou Yu took the lead in using the Eight Banners Cavalry surrounded by the Emperor's guards to make some moves.
Duoduo was not to be outdone. He directly mobilized heavy troops to surround the Eight Banners cavalry layer by layer, turning the center of the battlefield into a thousand-layer pancake. You are inside me and I am inside you. The situation in the center is completely out of control and all decisions have to be made by the frontline soldiers on their own.
"Urgent report, urgent report, the Qing army on the left side of the city has begun to give up the siege, leaving some soldiers behind and heading straight towards our rear army!"
"Are you finally here?" Zhou Yu nodded silently.
"Order Yu Dayou to lead all the troops to move towards the Qing army. Make sure to stop them in that area! Never let them cross the battle line!"
After receiving the task, Yu Dayou in the rear camp squinted his eyes and smiled at the staff around him.
"It seems that our allies don't trust us, and they actually use such an irresistible excuse to send us away!"
"Wu Sangui is such a bastard, he has really brought shame to our Ming Dynasty!" The staff were furious, and naturally knew that Zhou Yu was on guard against them.
However, Wu Sangui's incident happened earlier, and they had no way to make Zhou Yu believe it, so they could only prove it with actual actions.
"It's a pity that the Qing army arrived first. If it was the Mongols, I could have avenged the last attack."
"General, don't be careless. Although the Qing army is not dragons and wolves, it is also like jackals and leopards. If you underestimate the enemy, something unexpected may happen!" Upon hearing this, the staff hurriedly advised Yu Dayou, fearing that he would make a principled mistake because of his momentary anger.
"Don't worry! It's just a pity. The Qing bandits disturbing my border are undoubtedly the same as the Japanese pirates. I will definitely give them a head-on blow this time!"
"It's good that the general understands!" The staff also knew Yu Dayou's character and stopped advising him, but instead complimented him.
"Yu's army, listen to my command, turn southeast and start marching. The cavalry will go first and make sure to snipe the enemy out of the battlefield!"
Yu Dayou gave orders loudly, and the entire Yu family army was reorganized within a short time and marched towards the Qing army's siege troops.
At the same time, Lu Xun led most of his troops out of the city and directly attacked the Mongol siege camp.
The Mongolian army, which was originally planning to move towards the main battlefield, changed its mind in an instant. The previous losses were enough to make them heartbroken, but for the sake of the overall strategic direction, they naturally had to head to the central battlefield.
Now that Lu Xun took the initiative to attack them, it undoubtedly gave them the best excuse.
"Tell Duoduo that the enemy troops have come out of the city to fight us. We will annihilate them and seize the city!" Wulianghe Ashu sent someone to deliver the message to Duoduo.
Then he gave up on encircling the main battlefield and mobilized his troops, intending to annihilate Lu Xun outside the city. Then, relying on his own superior forces, he annihilated Lu Xun directly outside the city and then directly attacked the empty city.
Even if the Qing army has any explanation at that time, it cannot be blamed on them.
