Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

A Qing army of 100,000 marched southwards, their momentum at full steam. Duoduo planned to capture Yangzhou in three days. However, the unexpected arrival of Suo Chao's army completely changed the situation.

Empress Zhu Weiya, in the name of orthodoxy, issues a manifesto against the Qing. Suo Chao leads a 500,000-man army, meticulously planned, and engages the Qing army in a thrilling decisive battle. Who will ultimately emerge victorious in the Battle of Yangzhou?

The Qing army of 100,000 men surged southward like a surging tide. Duoduo, atop his towering horse, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. He secretly planned to capture Yangzhou within three days, allowing the Southern Ming to once again witness the might of the Qing army.

At this time, Yangzhou's military strength was limited and seemed to be in imminent danger. But at this critical moment, Suo Chao's army arrived like a divine force descending from the sky.

Suo Chao knew that this was a crucial battle concerning the empress's legitimacy. He issued the "Exhortation to Punish the Qing" in the name of the "empress."

Suo Chao stood on the high platform, his voice as loud as a bell:

"The Heaven has favored China, and the Ming Dynasty is the orthodox dynasty. Now I, Zhu Weiya, have inherited the mandate of Heaven and ascended the throne. As the empress, I lead the righteous men of the world and swear to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty... I hope the world will respond to this manifesto. Let us raise the banner of justice together, drive out the Tartars, overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore China!" There was a determined flame burning in his eyes, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

The manifesto had been issued, and those who supported the restoration of the Ming Dynasty eagerly awaited it. The battle of Yangzhou was a must-win. Suo Chao summoned 500,000 troops and temporarily established five legions.

Shi Kefa led an army of 100,000 as the first army. He held the sword tightly in his hand, his heart filled with loyalty to the country.

"I will be fully responsible for the dispatch of food and weapons for the army, and I will not let the empress down." Shi Kefa stared at the palace and said in a deep voice.

Suo Chao transferred a large amount of food and supplies from World A, enough to support the 500,000-strong army for a month.

Shi Kefa was busy shuttling between various warehouses, carefully checking every bag of food and every piece of weapon to ensure the logistical support of the army.

Zhu Weiya led an army of 100,000 men to confront Duoduo's army head-on. Clad in magnificent armor, her eyes radiated dignity and resolve. Biting her lip, she vowed to fight for her ancestors' legacy and the suffering of her people.

Yan Xiang was a heroic figure, holding a spear and backed by an army of 10. In this battle, she would help the empress defeat Duoduo's army head-on.

Qi Chao led an army of 100,000 to occupy the nearby passes and took over the neighboring county town which was short of troops.

Over the years, Qi Chao had fought alongside Suo Boyi in many battles, and his personal growth was evident to all. He had risen from a mediocre third-rate general to his current position as a top-tier commander.

Qi Chao now possessed 82 points of Force, 85 points of Leadership, 75 points of Intelligence, and 80 points of Stamina. His combat attributes were remarkable. He sat on his warhorse, his gaze sharp as he carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

"The Imperial Master has been so kind to me, I must catch up with him." Qi Chao held the sword in his hand and made up his mind secretly.

Suo Chao activated his "Eye of Truth" and retrieved the Qing army's marching route within a radius of 100 miles. His eyes shone with a mysterious light, as if he could see through everything.

Suo Chao activated his divine movement, weaving his way around to get behind Duoduo's army. His figure was as fast and agile as a ghost.

"Jiang'er, Xiu'er, you should read military books carefully and practice martial arts diligently. These 100,000 troops will be handed over to you." Suo Chao looked at Zhen Jiang and Liu Xiu gently, his eyes full of trust.

"Husband, Zhen Jiang obeys your command." Zhen Jiang nodded slightly, her eyes revealing confidence and wisdom.

Zhen Jiang is not only a business prodigy, but also a genius in martial arts and military strategy. She offers unique insights into many battles. Clad in white armor, she resembles a goddess on the battlefield.

"Husband, Liu Xiu obeys your command." Liu Xiu's eyes were full of determination.

Liu Xiu, a long-time cloistered resident, diligently practiced martial arts and military tactics. He also possessed a natural talent for leading troops in battle. The two of them, each commanding 50,000 men, deployed heavy troops along several of Duoduo's retreat routes.

The nine wives each had their own strengths in martial arts, magic, literature, military tactics, medicine, and scientific research. The four divisions of World D were developing more and more rapidly, with many new and unique technologies being released ahead of schedule.

Traveling through the late Qing Dynasty, the system mall also updates the firearms and artillery of this era. In the Battle of Xuzhou, Suo Chao suffered from the matchlock guns and artillery, and now he has finally upgraded his equipment.

Suo Chao currently has 850 million Battle Merit Points and 3 million Reputation Points. Having fought the Rich War for so long, he rarely uses the System Mall or the Zhutian Trading function.

"Fairy system, open the system mall!" Suo Chao's voice was full of anticipation.

Suo Chao switched to the system mall. He saw all kinds of improved firearms on display.

红衣大炮：200万战功点；冲天炮：150万战功点；燧发枪：1万战功点；火绳枪：100战功点；炮弹：100战功点；子弹：1战功点。

Suo Chao looked at his Merit Points and thought to himself. He had too few Merit Points now, so he could only exchange them for four Red Cannons. But he had plenty of Reputation Points, which he hadn't used.

"Fairy System, what is the ratio of fame to military merit?" Suo Chao asked.

[10:1] The system's light voice sounded.

索超毫不犹豫地兑换了2500万战功点。他采购了5架红衣大炮，2000把火绳枪，500把燧发枪。炮弹200发，子弹10万发。如今火枪营有6000人，火炮营有100人。

Suo Chao ordered the artillery and musket battalions to immediately upgrade to the newly purchased weapons. Once the firearms battalion soldiers were familiar with their new equipment, he unleashed his unparalleled power to summon 20 troops and launched a fierce attack on Duoduo's rear.

Duoduo's 40-man army was pinned down by Zhu Weiya's army. By the time he discovered that his rear army was under attack from the Ming army, it was too late. With troops attacking from both sides, the Qing army was thrown into chaos.

"General, it's bad. The enemy's artillery is too powerful, and the rear army has suffered heavy casualties." A Qing soldier ran over in panic, his face full of fear.

"Where are the heavy cavalry? Charge into the enemy's artillery battalion immediately." Dodo roared, his face terribly gloomy.

"It's bad, General. Our army is surrounded by 40 troops." The Qing scout came running over breathlessly, his eyes full of despair.

"Where did the Ming army get so many troops?" Duoduo widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"General, we are surrounded. It will be too late if we don't retreat now." An Eight Banners general said anxiously.

"Don't panic! Adjust the formation and let's fight our way out together." Duoduo pretended to be calm, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

The Qing army found themselves surrounded by a large army and in danger of being destroyed at any moment. Duoduo immediately organized a breakout, but Suo Chao would not let him do so.

Suo Chao bent his bow and drew his arrow, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness. He activated his "Heavenly Bow" and "Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy" skills, preparing to kill the executioner Duoduo with a single arrow.

[Heavenly Bow: The arrow never misses its target, and can penetrate an arrowhead from a hundred paces away. It can also draw a five-stone bow.]

The arrow flew out with a whoosh, carrying great force and speed. Duoduo was in the midst of the chaotic army and could not avoid Suo Chao's cold arrow.

"Puff!" An arrow pierced through his heart.

"Duoduo is dead!" This cold executioner died young and never had the chance to carry out the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" plan.

Without their leader, the Qing army lost all will to fight and fled in all directions like headless flies. The 40-man army completed the encirclement, and the remaining remnants that broke through were completely annihilated by Zhen Jiang and Liu Xiu.

In this battle, the Ming army annihilated 6 enemies and captured 4. The Battle of Yangzhou concluded with a resounding victory for the Ming army against the Qing army. The reputation of the Empress spread rapidly among the people of the Southern Ming Dynasty, a stark warning to the Qing-phobic Southern Ming court.
