Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1853 - 1707: The Enemy’s Cheating Fails...
"Xubo Cheng, prepare to die!" Suddenly, Zhang Fei, who had just charged into the Northern Huns' army from the east without encountering any experts, saw a group of Hunnic Elites rushing towards him. Upon closer inspection, he found it was Xubo Cheng. Instantly, the flames of old and new grudges simultaneously ignited as he roared toward Xubo Cheng.
This roar would hardly draw anyone's attention on the chaotic battlefield, but the likes of Chen Xi who had been observing the area had all taken note of what was happening there.
"Pang Lingming is a valiant general," Liu Bei said calmly. Cao Cao nodded, his face clearly smiling, but the subsequent scenario of Xubo Cheng's recovery made everyone present a bit grave-faced.
"Has this situation been simulated?" Chen Xi turned to Zhou Yu and asked.
"Yes, when you were worrying about meteorite fall from the sky, we simulated almost every possibility within these ten days; merely super-speed recovery, rest assured, Xubo Cheng will either fall to General Pang or the two Generals Zhang, just watch who he collides with first." Zhou Yu sneered as he spoke.
"..." Chen Xi showed a speechless expression and used Voice Transmission to ask Jia Xu, "Cough cough, what's the simulation result of the meteorite fall from the sky?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
"The opponent gets wiped out," Jia Xu answered directly, "With small meteorites, we can directly turn them to ashes; with large meteorites, just deflect their trajectory to hit the Northern Huns; surely, I'm hoping another one falls, since just one can make several King Xiangs emerge on our side!"
"..." Chen Xi pondered over this, realizing it was true; given their current combat power, crushing small meteorites to ashes and skewing the trajectory of large meteorites is indeed feasible, though there'd be trouble if they're too large.
"Then, how were you designed to counter this super-speed recovery at that time?" Chen Xi asked.
"We set for the Northern Huns not super-speed recovery, but resurrection to continue fighting after death." Jia Xu glanced at Fa Zheng, who was now excited.
"Forget it, I won't listen; as long as we can win, that's what matters." Chen Xi smirked slightly.
Zhou Yu's eyes started scanning the entire legion; the Northern Huns' legion seemed to possess clear super-speed recovery, and more terrifyingly, there's hardly any clear consumption seen.
"Change the drumbeat, order the archers to advance two hundred steps, the first five rows of the Central Army to advance," Zhou Yu said coldly. So what if it's super-speed recovery, Laozi's previous tactic was to kill each of you three times!
In the next moment, the archers of the Central Army drew their bows and fired arrows; tens of thousands of arrows instantly covered the sky, followed by wails from the front line. Even the Elite Soldiers of the Northern Huns, blessed with the Will of the Empire by Huyan Chu, possessing formidable Recovery Power capable of restoring to previous states, had no way to handle the blazing arrows that almost carbonized upon release.
"Isn't this the same fiery Military Formation Gongjin used before? How come it's become this fierce now?" Chen Xi looked incredulous.
"There's no way we'd be just impressive in numbers," Xu Shu said helplessly, lying on the carriage and looking sideways at Chen Xi.
"Also, you can't see the true power of this from here," Chen Qun said with a sigh, truly a testament to the idea that collective wisdom is superior.
"These arrows are designed with special nurturing, upon impact, they explode. After causing penetration damage and high-temperature damage, they explode again, ensuring the opponent's complete demise!" Jia Xu spoke quietly as he turned his head.
"So brutal, this kind of thing isn't allowed in civil wars, right?" Chen Xi spoke up.
Everyone paused, then Xun Yu said, "It's indeed a bit reprobate; okay against Barbarians, for the Han Dynasty itself, it's somewhat ruinous."
Xun Yu hesitated, realizing the terror of their combined strength was enormous; all were of the same culture and descent, their collaborative might on the battlefield was true power of the Han Dynasty; lacking any individual here, the nation would surely weaken.
Though Chen Xi said even if one was missing, the Central Plains would still be the Central Plains, it was logical, yet facing the witnessed might, Xun Yu understood that losing any person present would be a genuine loss for the Han Dynasty.
""We won't use it." Zhou Yu's expression wasn't visible to Chen Xi, but his tone was firm, and with this declaration, everyone's hearts felt a bit lighter; for the first time, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's strategists contemplated alternative thoughts.
"But merely from a distance, it's hard to reach the extent of killing three times like you said," Chen Xi asked curiously.
"Can't you see I'm continuously commanding and maneuvering?" Zhou Yu didn't even turn his head, while the bunch behind kept talking; he had to command the army.
As the troops shifted, faint blood-red mist began to rise within the army; Chen Xi immediately looked at Xun Yu, who nodded silently.
"We modified this together, ensuring that once struck, even if they can revive, they wouldn't move an inch." Jia Xu said with a cold smile.
"Though the enemy's will can resist the effects of this Military Formation, once injured, the army formation forcibly seizes the enemy's Qi and blood power, not only replenishing our soldiers but also releasing it into nature." Xun Yu said reluctantly.
Though Xun Yu hated admitting this Military Formation was related to him, the randomness of its development among the group led to this monstrosity. If the previous version somewhat had some limits, this version was utterly ruthless.
Jia Xu personally captured a batch of Hu People and tested it, and this near-plundering technique, once struck, unless the enemy's will is firm, quickly reduces them to merely a skinned skeleton, shockingly evil.
Yet with Han and Huns' blood feud, a few bones wrapped in skin aren't much; it's normal when corpses are incomplete, given their deep hatred. Thus seeing the Huns use unscrupulous tactics, Zhou Yu felt no psychological burden using this move.
"Report, Commander-in-chief, General Zang reports the Northern Huns have activated the Will of the Empire, to be cautious." Just as Zhou Yu fully activated Xun Yu's Military Formation, Zang Ba's trusted aide approached Zhou Yu and reported.
"Will of the Empire?" Chen Xi paused; Zang Ba had explained in detail before, Jia Xu knew too. But Chen Xi was stunned because the previously frail Will of the Empire they felt seemed like what they're witnessing now; it's truly possible.
"What is this?" Zhou Yu immediately asked Chen Xi.
"A power akin to miracle, similar to Military Spirit, but Military Spirit is the collective will of hundreds or thousands, whereas Will of the Empire is the collective will of an entire Great Power. Military Spirit is a miracle, Will of the Empire can achieve greater miracles, yet Will of the Empire only condenses when a nation experiences resurrection from fire and writes an Era of Prosperity," Chen Xi swiftly explained.
