Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1626: Chapter 1567: The Chanyu’s Schemes

In Jia Xu’s view, Li Ru back then seemed to be almost cheating, eventually accumulating just over ten thousand reserve elite cavalry for the Flying Bear Army. Even if the Huns were exceptionally skilled, they couldn’t have gathered more than Li Youu. After all, the population of the Northern Huns was insufficient from the outset.

Therefore, Jia Xu’s plan was to deplete the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry on the front lines, draining the Northern Huns’ Military Spirit Legion, forcing them to fully engage in battle. If the Military Spirit Legion didn’t go to battle, they would remain a hidden danger, which Jia Xu absolutely did not want to leave behind.

The Trap Formation violently entered its Ultimate State, crushing the Hun Guards with overwhelming power. Originally, two Hun Guards could barely cope with one Trap Formation soldier, but now, with the Trap Formation violently exploding, the Hun Guards quickly lost the ability to counteract.

This is the effect of the Ultimate Move of the Military Spirit Legion. Without this effect, although the Military Spirit Legion is powerful with special abilities like resistance to death, they still fall short of invincibility.

Once the soldiers of the Trap Formation confirmed that the Northern Huns Guards had mostly lost the ability to confront them head-on, they immediately abandoned all skillful attacks. Their Long Spears faintly exuded the Power of Military Spirit, purely using strength to break finesse.

As the Trap Formation unleashed its full Power of Military Spirit, the Northern Huns Guards, who were originally at a slight disadvantage, almost instantly slipped into an abyss. Unlike the previous time with Gao Shun, this time Gao Shun’s aim was to eliminate as many as possible, regardless of the losses.

Even killing Northern Huns Elite Cavalry, in Jia Xu’s view, was worthwhile. Of course, Gao Shun also asked what to do if they forced out the Ultimate Move of the Northern Huns Guards, and the Trap Formation couldn’t maintain its peak state.

Jia Xu stated that it wasn’t an issue, as someone would naturally handle it when the time came. Given this assurance, Gao Shun, as a military general, decided to worry less and trust Jia Xu’s ability to handle it. Fine, leave it to Jia Xu to settle.

Thus, this time the Trap Formation’s tusks were not at all hidden. Even if the Northern Huns Guards had power to resist death, the stronger Trap Formation was destroying them not only physically but also spiritually amidst the clash of spiritual will!

”Qiu Linbei, go, don’t worry about me, go assist the Imperial Guard!” Huyan Chu, who had been trailing at the back, became incredibly cold-eyed upon seeing this scene. The Northern Huns’ most proud Hun Guards were being suppressed by another legion.

Qiu Linbei glanced at Huyan Chu, left behind three thousand escorts, and immediately led over six thousand elite Hun cavalry towards the Northern Huns Guards. Although in terms of combat power, his six thousand elite cavalry were not as capable as the fifteen hundred Northern Huns Guards, they could still provide support.

[The Han army, terrifyingly strong. Xubo Cheng’s ability to lead five thousand elite soldiers to escape is already not easy. This battle cannot continue like this; their Military Spirit Legion has clearly all engaged. It seems I have been somewhat conservative.] Huyan Chu thought cautiously as he observed the army’s situation.

After being dragged halfway by Zhao Yun, Huyan Chu actually understood the intentions of Jia Xu and others. However, he also wanted to test the strength of the Han army himself. Xubo Cheng had lost disastrously, so Huyan Chu needed to make careful confirmations; he couldn’t just rely on one perspective.

But now Huyan Chu had seen everything he wanted to see. The Han army’s elite exceeded the Northern Huns by a margin, and the strongest elite from the Han army was already heading north. This battle could not continue as is.

[The casualty rate is too fast. In such a short time, my side has probably already suffered three thousand five hundred elite losses, while the Han army’s losses are probably around three thousand. However, the entire Military Spirit Legion must be moved to the front line; otherwise, the true advantage cannot be displayed.] Huyan Chu analyzed the situation cautiously, showing the same thoughtful expression as Fa Zheng.

[The Han Dynasty’s advantage is too great. Unless the descendants of Kunlun Deity can find a fertile area to truly recuperate for fifty years, there is no possibility of rivaling the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, this world is already taken by the Han, Great Qin, Kushan, and Parthia.] Huyan Chu thought angrily.

The biggest problem for the Northern Huns is that they currently have no place to settle, only able to wander the prairie. Nearing any of the empires is unsafe, and while non-empire kingdoms are safe, they do not have the foundation to establish a new empire.

The best places on the Eurasian Plate have already been taken by the Four Great Empires. The Great Prairie, which could have nurtured the fifth great empire, will not be allowed by the strongest Han Dynasty to be occupied by the Northern Huns. This is an unallowable provocation.

[It seems we can only take advantage of the chaos to seize the territory of the Parthian Empire; otherwise, if this continues, the descendants of the Kunlun Deity will soon have nowhere to stand.] Huyan Chu’s expression turned grim; his goal in leading the Northern Huns was not destruction but survival.

However, it was clear that the Northern Huns were relentlessly heading towards a destructive end. The size of the Han Empire meant the Northern Huns couldn’t possibly compete.

”Order Chouhun not to hold back the Power of Military Spirit, unleash it fully. Even if it wastes a lot, it’s better to use the Military Spirit to counteract theirs than letting our warriors be killed by them!” Huyan Chu instructed the messenger beside him, and soon the drums sounded.

After receiving the order, Chouhun no longer hesitated. The Power of Military Spirit that the Northern Huns had inherited for three hundred years could not be compared to any other Military Spirit Legion. Although they had often been in dire straits and depleted many reserves, this accumulation over centuries was not to be underestimated.

If it were another Northern Huns commander, they might consider whether it was reasonable, but Chouhun, being Huyan Chu’s absolute loyalist, immediately began wildly channeling the Power of Military Spirit to offset the Trap Formation’s Power of Military Spirit.

With this maneuver, the position of the Northern Huns Guards improved significantly. However, despite this, it couldn’t change the vast disparity in strength between the two sides. But after the Trap Formation’s attacks, imbued with the Power of Military Spirit, were mostly offset, the Northern Huns Guards’ ability to withstand death significantly increased.

As such, although the Trap Formation logically held an absolute advantage, for the Northern Huns Guards it was more injury than death. As for this situation, Gao Shun didn’t have much of a solution; the opponent’s centuries of accumulation were somewhat overwhelming.

It was precisely because the Northern Huns Guards stopped their losing momentum that Qiu Linbei immediately turned to deal with Zhao Yun. Previously, he couldn’t join the battle between the two Military Spirit Legions but could only provide support from the side. Now, the White Horse Soldiers that were free took Qiu Linbei’s legion as a target and began shooting.
