Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Suo Chao brandished the Nine-Glory Thunder Spear, fighting and retreating at the same time, his steps steady and resolute. His eyes remained alert as he continued to move towards the Han army.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear. The Han army not only launched a surprise attack and burned the Xianbei's food supplies, but also immediately controlled the Xianbei Khan Yuwen Tai.

A smile of relief slowly appeared on Suo Chao's face. That smile was like the light of dawn, dispelling the fatigue and tension on his face. He thought to himself:

"11 elite Han troops versus the remaining 6 Xianbei cavalry. The advantage is mine!"

As long as they could continue to contain Shi Dakai and his two companions and wait for the three Han armies to complete the encirclement, the outcome would be decided. Even if they adopted the tactic of encircling without attacking, the Xianbei army would surely be defeated without water and food.

At this time, Chen Sheng and his two companions were still fighting fiercely with Suo Chao. Suddenly, a Xianbei messenger came running over, knelt on one knee, and reported in a panic:

"Report! General Chen, two large armies of the Han army are encircling our vanguard camp. There are about 6 soldiers and we have suffered heavy casualties." Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng frowned, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Seeing that Suo Chao was about to be captured, Chen Sheng did not want to give up halfway. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself:

"The situation is becoming increasingly serious, but I must not lose my composure."

Soon, another Xianbei messenger came hurriedly and said with a terrified face:

"Report! General Shi, a large number of Han troops have attacked our rear camp and have cut off our route of retreat." After hearing this, Shi Dakai's face turned ashen in an instant, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The Khan was killed in battle, the food supplies were destroyed, and now the army's retreat was cut off. An inexplicably familiar feeling of sadness came over me:

"Is today the end of our army?" But he still forced himself to cheer up and tried to find a way to break out.

Shi Dakai and the other two stared at the weakened Suo Chao, their eyes revealing a strong desire and entanglement. Their eyes wandered over Suo Chao, their hands unconsciously clenched their weapons, muscles tensed.

Shi Dakai frowned, his heart in turmoil.

"This is a perfect opportunity to capture Suo Chao, but if we miss the opportunity for the army to break out, the sin will be serious." Chen Sheng and An Lushan also had anxiety and struggle on their faces, and beads of sweat on their foreheads slid down their cheeks.

After a moment of silence, Shi Dakai took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He turned his head, looked at Chen Sheng and An Lushan with a firm gaze, and said loudly:

"General Chen! General An! The army is in danger now. You lead the army to break out first. I will hold Suo Chao back." After saying that, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had put life and death aside.

Chen Sheng and An Lushan were shocked at first, then their eyes were filled with emotion and admiration. Chen Sheng hesitated to speak, and finally just patted Shi Dakai's shoulder heavily, while An Lushan bit his lip and nodded.

"We'll leave this to General Shi." The two men said in unison, their voices trembling slightly, full of trust in Shi Dakai.

Shortly after the two left, the Han army arrived. These 11 soldiers were meticulously trained by Suo Chao using Qi Jiguang's tactics against the Mongol cavalry. On this vast plain, cavalry's advantage was indeed immense.

However, at a time when gunpowder and firearms had not yet been invented, Suo Chao had no choice but to adopt a combined combat mode of chariots, heavy cavalry, infantry, and crossbowmen.

All kinds of epoch-making sharp weapons, such as wolf-whip, Zhuge crossbow, chevaux de frise, steel knives, steel spears, etc., are fully equipped, thus realizing this simplified version of the ancient "infantry and artillery coordination" combat plan.

As the Xianbei cavalry charged head-on, the chariot battalion soldiers looked tense yet resolute. They moved swiftly and skillfully, working together to quickly form the chariots into a solid square formation. The infantry and cavalry calmly positioned themselves in the center of the square, ready for battle.

As the enemy force entered crossbow range with overwhelming force, the crossbowmen's eyes were focused and sharp. They held their breath, and at the command of their general, they all drew their bows and released their arrows. Countless sharp arrows swarmed like locusts, instantly knocking down some of the enemy. Some fell from their horses with screams, while others, their horses neighing in fear after being struck by arrows.

As the enemy continued their charge without flinching, the infantry remained undaunted. With solemn expressions, they quickly deployed chevaux de frise (barricades) in front of the chariot formation. As the galloping horses ran into the chevaux de frise, some were pierced by the sharp points and jumped back in shock, while others were suddenly stopped dead or even killed. For a moment, the enemy's attack was thrown into chaos, and the Xianbei cavalry were thrown to the ground, their formation in disarray.

The battle erupted, and the Xianbei army, like frantic trapped beasts, launched repeated breakout attacks. They screamed, brandished their weapons, their eyes filled with despair and madness. However, the Han army led by Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci was like an impenetrable wall of steel, relentlessly repelling their attacks.

Zhao Yun, riding a white horse, his silver spear wielding like a dragon, weaved freely among the enemy troops. His gaze was like lightning, and every move was swift and powerful, the tip of his spear flashing with a cold light.

Before Chen Sheng and An Lushan could react, they were killed one by one by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun could be called a military general harvester, and his heroic posture frightened the enemy.

"General Zhao is mighty!" the Han soldiers shouted in unison.

On the other side, although Suo Chao was weak, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Finally, Zhao Yun arrived and the two joined forces to fight against Shi Dakai.

"Zilong, you're here." Suo Chao said excitedly.

"Brother Boyi, haha, I'm here to help you." Zhao Yun responded.

Suo Chao and Zhao Yun attacked Shi Dakai together. Shi Dakai fought hard but could not withstand the fierce attack of the two. In the end, he was exhausted and seriously injured.

"Unparalleled! Sword Domain: Dimensional Space!"

Suo Chao took the opportunity to activate the Unparalleled Sword Domain. The powerful force instantly enveloped Shi Dakai, and finally captured him and sent him into the D. world.

The leaderless Xianbei soldiers fell into chaos. Some fought desperately and were ultimately killed in battle; others surrendered, laying down their weapons and becoming dejected. The three Han armies, with unstoppable momentum, completely annihilated Yuwen Tai's forces.

The battlefield after the battle was a shambles. Suo Chao, his face weary but his gaze determined, directed his soldiers to clean up the battlefield. He looked at the corpses and wounded scattered across the ground, feeling a mixture of emotions. When he spotted the ten thousand injured Xianbei soldiers, a flicker of pity crossed his eyes.

"The great cause of world unification is so difficult, and wars between nations are inevitable." Suo Chao whispered.

Against Yuwen Tai's army, the Han army deployed 15 soldiers, with over 3 killed and 3 wounded, leaving less than 9 combat-ready soldiers. Yuwen Tai's army also deployed 10 soldiers, with nearly 4 killed, over 1 wounded, and over 5 captured, effectively annihilating the entire army.

War is brutal, especially a decisive battle. In this battle, Suo Chao launched a surprise attack, captured Yuwen Tai in advance, and exiled more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers, but the result was only a tragic victory.

"Alas! The price of a quick victory is too high. We will have to use more military strategies in the future." Suo Chao shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Suo Chao activated his Wushuang strategy, sending 4 wounded soldiers into World B and 4 Xianbei captives into World D. He then transferred another 5 troops into World D, leaving the wounded Taishi Ci to take over the guard, leaving only 4 soldiers for Zhao Yun.

Suo Chao used his swift movements to bypass Murong Chui's army and secretly ordered Zhao Yun's army to rest for three days before moving closer to Zhao Chongguo's army to form a strategic encirclement of Murong Chui's main force.
