Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

The manipulation of light and shadow is not Xinghan's patent. Manqing has learned it and put it into practice, using the fox fairy's illusion to cover up the real situation and directly lure Ma Chao into the encirclement.

No matter how hard Ma Chao attacked, he could not break out of the encirclement.

"Break it for me!"

Ma Chao swept his tiger-head spear across, clearing out a large area, but soon another group of Qing soldiers rushed up, making it difficult to defend against them, whether real or fake.

Even if you rely on your intuition to avoid most damage, you still can't avoid getting hurt.

"General, reinforcements are coming!"

Just when Ma Chao was in a state of panic, Taishi Ci and Jiang Wei, who had been dealing with the Eight Banners Cavalry behind him, finally caught up.

The two sides worked together from inside and outside, and soon dispersed the Qing troops and began to slaughter them mercilessly.

"Mengqi, what's the situation?"

"I didn't catch up and ran straight into the encirclement!" Ma Chao was a little annoyed. Almost every pursuit ended in failure.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Kill these Qing troops and we will chase them together!" Taishi Ci comforted Ma Chao. They had gained a lot this time, but also suffered a lot of losses.

After Ma Chao encountered this ambush, he almost lost the ability to pursue independently.

If Zhao Hui had another ambush, Ma Chao himself might be in danger.

"I have already sent out the signal. If Deng Ai can stop us, we still have a chance!" Jiang Wei said calmly.

Putting aside other influences, they have already won a great victory this time, and the majority of the losses were elemental soldiers and flesh and blood mechas.

After defeating the Qing army that blocked the way, Deng Ai's troops, led by Deng Ai, did not go to join Xu Shu, but rushed directly towards the Qing army camp.

Since the enemy has divided their troops, it means that they cannot break through Xu Shu and his men's defense.

So Deng Ai chose to directly raid the Qing army’s hometown.

"General, our scouts saw the signal flare. According to the code we agreed on before, the enemy should have evacuated the battlefield."

"The bet was right!" Deng Ai was somewhat excited. This exhilarating gamble made him feel the same joy as when he had conquered the mountains and laid the foundation for the destruction of Shu.

"Don't worry about them. March at full speed and surround the Qing army camp in advance!"

"After arriving, don't rush to attack the city. Send out scouts everywhere!"

Deng Ai understood that since the enemy felt the threat and retreated, it was unlikely to be a large force.

It is too difficult to stop a small force on such a vast battlefield. It is more likely to directly surround the opposite side and wait for them to come.

The opposing home base is a key area linking three battlefields. Unless the opponent has the same ability as him, the main camp is the only way for the opponent to pass through.

However, if the enemy simply abandons their troops and flees from the mountains, they will have no good solution.

After all, in such a large battlefield, if more than a hundred people hide in the mountains, they will not be found in a short time, which is enough time for the enemy to escape.

Facts have proved that it is indeed very easy to escape on the battlefield when the whole mind is to run.

Even after Deng Ai captured the Qing army's main camp and joined forces with Jiang Wei and Xu Shu who had arrived from behind, there was still no trace of Zhao Hui's remnants.

"Haven't found the fleeing enemy yet?"

Xu Shu frowned. After taking down the Qing army camp, their strategic goal was achieved, but they failed to capture the enemy's commander, which seemed a bit imperfect.

"They should have evacuated here. Our scouts found several paths in the mountains on both sides. This is an area we haven't explored before. The enemy should have escaped from these paths!"

"They are just a bunch of defeated soldiers and cannot cause any big waves!" Although Xu Shu felt a little regretful, he did not take Zhao Hui and the remnants seriously.

In the end, there were only more than 20,000 people who escaped. If they were put on the battlefield today, they would not be able to cause any big waves.

They also sent people to inform the commanders Zhong Hui and Arvind, and both sides sent out scouts.

Once discovered, send troops to encircle and suppress them immediately.

"How is the situation with Zhong Hui and Arvind?"

"We are surrounded on three sides and one side is missing. The difference in military strength is too small. We can't defeat them!"

Lu Xun shook his head. After he dealt with the enemies in the valley, he sent someone to Zhong Hui to inquire about the situation.

We can also understand something from the process in their central war zone: it is extremely difficult to besiege the opponent's heavily guarded fortress.

Even with siege equipment, it would still be difficult to advance.

Arvind had already sent out Peacock to charge into the formation and launch a strong attack, but there was still no result.

The same thing happened to Zhong Hui, who was unable to capture the city after a long siege.

"Attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior!"

Xu Shu felt a little depressed. The situation was almost the same as he had planned at the beginning.

The problem now is to concentrate our forces to capture that fortress.

"Marshal, I have a plan!"

Deng Ai stood up and clasped his fists, saying that the overwhelming victory had obviously given Deng Ai a lot of confidence.

"Say!"

Xu Shu looked at Deng Ai. The opponent's decisiveness on the battlefield was also one of the important factors that enabled them to capture the Qing army camp at a small cost. This was a manifestation of ability.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai both showed their strengths, but Zhong Hui, who had a large army, could only stalemate with the enemy and had no chance to show his abilities.

"It would be too costly to forcibly attack the city. We might as well surround it without attacking it. We can draw out our elite forces to cross the mountains and ridges along this route to support other battle zones!"

Deng Ai had no interest in sieges. At that time, Zhong Hui had a large army under his command, but was blocked outside Jianmen Pass by Jiang Wei. It was his surprise attack that won the day.

"..."Xu Shu fell silent.

To be fair, Deng Ai's suggestion was a good choice from a strategic perspective, as sieges were too troublesome.

But from a political perspective, Deng Ai's proposal could not be more stupid.

This territory is not theirs even if they were conquered, and there is no benefit in them crossing mountains and rivers to another war zone.

In comparison, attacking the city and annihilating the Qing army's manpower is a better option.

"This is inappropriate!" Lu Xun shook his head and objected directly.

"What if we look over there and see that the war zone is also carrying out a siege?" Lu Xun pointed out an oversight in Deng Ai's plan.

Deng Ai stopped talking, which is indeed a problem, but it can be completely solved through cross-regional communication and other means.

However, Xu Shu's silence and Lu Xun's opposition made him realize that there might be something else involved, so Deng Ai chose to remain silent.

In the end, Xu Shu decided to lead his troops to besiege Zhong Hui.

After all, in terms of configuration, due to the influence of the terrain, the Qing army has stockpiled more cavalry here, and the strength of the cavalry in defending the city will be reduced by a level, which is a breakthrough for them.

While Xu Shu cut off the Qing Dynasty's logistical supplies and launched a siege war of attrition, Zhuge Liang, who was separated by a mountain, had already led the Roman army to defeat the Mongol army opposite them.

Unlike the Qing army who chose to defend from the very beginning, the Mongols were very confident and marched forward with a large army.

Zhuge Liang also took advantage of this confidence and killed the opponent directly.

"Your Majesty, we have completed the mission of annihilating the enemy, killing 7,372 enemies and suffering the loss of 643. Please give your instructions!" Virgilio reported the battle record to Zhuge Liang while carrying the flag of the Tenth Knight.

The record of one to ten, which also included the three talented Mongolian cavalry, can be called extremely brilliant.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Although the Tenth Knight Legion has not yet been fully staffed and is still a bit backward, it still erupts in amazing ferocity when facing its enemies and fighting in the name of revenge.

Especially under the command of Zhuge Liang, at the moment when the situation was at a stalemate, a direct and powerful attack destroyed the situation.

The Mongol commander had no power to resist at all. His command was no match for Zhuge Liang. If he had not been afraid of exposing his military power and attracting a siege from the Mongols, Zhuge Liang would have crushed the enemy with his command alone.

There is no need to stage this kind of drama of frontal confrontation and then surprise attack.

However, the Mongols put up a very tenacious resistance. Even when faced with the mad Tenth Knight, they managed to bite off a piece of flesh from his body.

"The Tenth Knight..." Zhuge Liang sighed, then waved his hand to let Virgilio withdraw his troops.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. This miracle group that believes in revenge may fall on the road of revenge in the future.

Revenge is indeed a powerful driving force that has brought new vitality to the originally sluggish Tenth Knight, but this vitality is still just a temporary solution.

Originally, the Tenth Knight would not have suffered so many casualties, but unfortunately he focused too much on killing the enemy and seeking revenge and lost his original agility.

The old soldiers were okay and could barely control the fire of revenge, but the 1,000 new recruits who were added with great difficulty could not bear this kind of will at all.

Of the 643 people who died, five-sixths were new recruits.

The Tenth Knight, which already had few reserve troops, could not withstand so many casualties.

At this rate, after four or five wars of this scale, the title of the Tenth Knight can be cancelled.

Watching Virgilio leave, Zhuge Liang sighed. He had no way of replacing Caesar, and the end of the Tenth Knight seemed irreversible.

"Clean up the station, build a camp on the spot, and have the Fifth Skylark spread out to keep watch!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the map. The information shared by Xu Shu was very valuable to him.

"The first phase of the offensive and defensive battle is almost coming to an end. I don't know who will win, the Mongols or the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhuge Liang was thinking about his next plan. To be honest, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu had the same opinion and were more inclined to political considerations.

From the very beginning, the counselors did not want to provide support, and now that they have completed the phased task of training the troops, they have even less motivation to move forward.

Zhuge Liang even wanted to lead his troops to Xu Shu and meet up with him.

God knows how the second phase of offense and defense will be fought.

The strategies of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols were actually similar, which was to send dozens of armies of hundreds of thousands each, use major war zones as battle points, conduct probing and find out the strength of the other side's military.

Yes, this was a theater war with more than five million people mobilized on both sides combined, and it was even just a preliminary battle.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zhuge Liang's side won with a crushing victory.

The main forces of the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty were not dispatched. After all, their business was too big, unlike the Xinghan and Qing dynasties, both of which were equipped with top-level legions.

Even Zhuge Liang's army was qualified to participate in the main battlefield.

Zhuge Liang actually didn’t quite understand the significance of this large-scale division of troops, but this was not the first war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols.

So Zhuge Liang observed silently, hoping to find the answer.

The first phase of the war basically came to an end at the same time.

Some were like Xu Shu, who surrounded the enemy camp and could not take it down for a long time; some were like Zhuge Liang, who defeated the enemy with great ease; and some were like those in which both sides suffered losses.

The battle line, which was originally maintained in the center, became jagged.

Large unknown areas began to appear on the maps of both sides, and the troop movements of both sides became more frequent.

Taking the previous war zones as the starting points, a war zone was formed that almost spanned the entire continent.

Between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, legions were being intercepted and killed every moment.

Both sides seemed to have tacitly forgotten about Qingting and Xinghan, or they no longer had the energy to care about them.

However, when the war heated up and the two sides remained deadlocked, some people in the Ming Dynasty could no longer sit still.

Under the protection of masters, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty arrived at Xu Shu's camp. They needed reinforcements to break the deadlock, and Xinghan, who suppressed the Qing court, was obviously suitable.

"Come here, let the messenger sit down!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

Xu Shu warmly received the envoy. At least on the surface, they were allies standing on the same front.

"I wonder if you can send troops? Just destroying this place will be enough!"

Xu Shu glanced at the intelligence and request provided by the Ming Dynasty. There were only tens of thousands of enemies, and they were the hub of a supply line for the Mongols.

As long as it can be cut off, the impact can be expanded and cause considerable trouble to the Mongols.

It is indeed not a difficult task for them. They can completely accomplish it by transferring some of their troops to join Zhuge Liang's team.

However, the envoy's request to send troops was directly rejected.

"Our army is busy fighting the Qing court and we really can't get away!" Xu Shu sighed and complained to the envoy.

"Once our army is divided, I'm afraid that the Qing court's reinforcements will arrive here, and the internal and external forces will cause our army to be defeated. If this affects the overall battle situation, I'm afraid it will not be good."

No matter how eloquent the Ming envoys were, Xu Shu had only one thing to do: not to send troops.

The Ming envoy had no choice. It was agreed from the beginning that Xinghan would be responsible for this war zone.

In the end, he could only leave angrily, full of complaints about Xu Shu's non-cooperation. You know, from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, Xinghan was just their younger brother, but he was so disobedient, which was really hateful.

"It seems that our honeymoon period with Daming is almost over!"

After the Ming envoy left, Lu Xun smiled bitterly.

"It's only a matter of time. After we defeat the Qing court, I'm afraid even the alliance won't be able to continue."

"There will only be some minor frictions at most. Before the Mongol Yuan forces decline, they will not tear their faces with us!"

As long as the Qing court is destroyed, Xinghan, Ming Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty will be able to form a three-way balance of power. At that time, even if Ming Dynasty is extremely unhappy, the two sides will still have to maintain a superficial alliance to jointly attack Yuan Dynasty.

Even at that time, Xinghan might have to take the initiative to cooperate with the declining Mongols and join forces to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
