Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1779: Chapter 1663: Returning Their Tactics in Kind

Quite a number of Han soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to counterattack, and the organizational power of Li Yan’s Legion Talent, as Wei Yan perceived it, allowed the Han soldiers to cooperate harmoniously.

”Release arrows!” Seeing Zhuge Liang making a downward motion, Yu Jin immediately nodded and ordered all soldiers to conduct long-range volleys.

”What on earth is going on!” Qui Fu swept his spear horizontally, although he knocked down many soldiers, their blocking actions before falling clearly indicated that the opponent could see through his Legion Talent just like him.

”Don’t scatter, mounted archery, bypass them, and attack the camp!” After discovering this situation, Qui Fu immediately issued a new command.

Although surprised, Qui Fu had long understood that there was no invincible Legion Talent in this world. He had prepared for this day, but truthfully, having his Legion Talent restrained by the Han army gave Qui Fu an ominous feeling.

Though Qui Fu’s Elite Cavalry suffered some damage due to the Han Army’s sudden counterattack, being Elite Cavalry meant that they were well-trained. Even without the support of Qui Fu’s Legion Talent, they were still far superior to the Han infantry.

After a slight adjustment, they steadied their mindset, and with a posture of regular enemy handling, dealt with the Han infantry. Even though Liu Bei’s elite infantry were battle-hardened, without enough archers to suppress, when manpower was one-to-one, facing elite cavalry directly and defeating them indicated they were almost at the level of a Military Spirit Legion.

It’s not that Yu Jin’s side lacked archers, but the battlefield was completely shrouded in black mist. Without Zhao Yun’s Legion Talent, they couldn’t be immune to such negative effects, causing the archers to have a high chance of accidentally hitting allies once the Northern Huns engaged the Han Army in close combat.

Steadying their mindset, Qui Fu’s soldiers seized the moment to leverage mobility and alternating range attacks, causing Wei Yan’s soldiers to falter along the defensive line. Even with Zhuge Liang continuously instructing Wei Yan on how to compensate, it gradually couldn’t keep pace with the Northern Huns’ destruction rate.

”Forget it!” With Wei Yan’s explanations, Zhuge Liang had roughly understood the deteriorating situation. If the hidden change within the Eight Gates Heavenly Lock could have originally been constructed, Zhuge Liang had confidence in holding on, but now there was only one path left.

Zhuge Liang initially planned to wait for Wei Yan’s main force to arrive and then activate the five prepared Legion Talents to decisively rout Qui Fu and his Northern Huns Elite Cavalry. But now, the situation no longer allowed Zhuge Liang to waste time.

Compared to the possibility of routing the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry, continuing to stall would lead to an irreplaceable loss for the Han Army camp if the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry broke through the current defense. Therefore, Zhuge Liang understood time could no longer be wasted.

”Wen Chang, use my Legion Talent.” Zhuge Liang steeled his heart, directly activating the five Legion Talents deemed most suitable by initial assessment, and Wei Yan also hesitated no longer, immediately imitating wholeheartedly, allowing all soldiers to suddenly feel an all-round improvement.

”Quickly counterattack, rout the Northern Huns!” Zhuge Liang’s clear voice was transmitted through the secret technique to the ears of all soldiers at the front, instantly causing the slightly unstable morale of the Han soldiers to sharpen, with their combat power rising and their morale suddenly increasing.

Meanwhile, originally gaining the upper hand and preparing to crush the Han Army’s blockade, the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry attacking the Han Army camp suddenly felt as if the opposing Han Army had transformed completely.

The opponents even used certain cooperative tactics to block their charging attacks relying on horsepower, chilling the hearts of the Northern Huns Elite Cavalry.

At the same time, Qui Fu’s attacks were segmented and intercepted by the Han Army, and several Han soldiers coordinated to nearly injure Qui Fu. In the instant when the Long Spear scraped his armor, Qui Fu’s eyes showed greater confusion than killing intent.

”Circle around, use arrows for semi-long-range attacks!” With his attack intercepted and forced to retreat, Qui Fu didn’t need to see what degree of attack his Elite Cavalry suffered to immediately decide on the most suitable combat strategy based on extensive battle experience.

With combat power surged close to the Military Spirit level, the whole world seemed different for the veteran Han soldiers blocking the front lines.

If Ma Chao’s Legion Talent enhanced nerve reaction to slow seen attacks by half, then Lyu Bu’s and Sun Ce’s Legion Talents greatly increased the Han veteran’s ability to match such reaction with physical quality.

Coupled with Zhang Fei’s ferocious Legion Talent and Zhao Yun’s immunity to negatives, combined with almost cold-blooded combat strategy, it was like equipping a berserker with a core, capable of perfectly controlling their strength under a wild appearance and momentum.

The strength shown by Northern Huns Elite Cavalry was instantly crushed under Wei Yan’s fierce activation, comparable to the power of a Military Spirit Legion!

In just a moment of engagement, veteran Han soldiers blocking managed to take down hundreds of Hun Elite Cavalry. This was even with Han soldiers’ short legs; otherwise, it truly would result in a one-faced encounter leaving the enemy broken.
