Chapter 1040: Summoning Skill

The cavalry on the left and right wings of the player forces stabbed right toward the middle, forming a wedge formation.

Just as both troops were about to intersect, they suddenly made a turn, stabbing toward both sides and forming an X that did not intersect.

Where the X would intersect would be the fifth formation in the second line. Kublai Khan was two square formations behind this point.

The strength of the player forces was put on full display in this charge. As they initiated the attack, the two wings of troops were like an iron flood, crushing the enemy wherever they passed by.

They really crushed them. Whoever the high-speed charging troops aimed at, the Mongol cavalry were either pushed aside or stepped into meat paste.

Even if some of the cavalry were lucky enough to slide right by the army, they would be killed by the cavalry that followed behind. Their corpses fell off their horses and were stepped onto by the speeding army.

Fresh blood splattered on the green grass, dyeing the yellow dirt.

Looking down from the top, the originally majestic Mongol cavalry formation, under the charge of the two wings, had a huge X carved out into it.

At this very moment, the middle troops that were ready to go set off.

The Fallen Phoenix City cavalry led the way, the Guards Legion Corps were in the middle, and the Divine Martial Guards were at the back, forming a ladder style arrowhead that headed right for the center of the X.

As the two wings of cavalry took up most of the enemy pressure, the middle troops only needed to destroy the 10 thousand men in front of them, and then they would be able to smoothly proceed forward.

The current Mongol cavalry had already come to their senses. Under the leadership of Kublai Khan, they proceeded forward, and the two armies crashed into one another. It looked like they were about to wipe each other out.

The horse hoof sounds of both sides made the entire earth shake. Both sides held tightly onto their weapons while their other hand was on the rope. Both legs clung onto the horseback as they stared straight ahead. Even their breathing became rushed.

Very quickly, the cavalry forces of both sides intersected with one another. My men inside yours, yours inside mine.

All of a sudden, soldiers and horses were flung onto the ground while blades gleamed as blood splattered.

As cavalry from both sides passed one another, capes sounded out in the wind. They either used their spears or swung their blades, cutting down ferociously at their enemies.

Just like that, the Fallen Phoenix City cavalry passed quickly, but they did not stop. After crushing the first ten thousand men unit, they continued charging at the next.

The following Guards Legion Corps cleaned out the remnants of the first ten thousand men unit like they were cutting up vegetables and melons.

Only at this point did Kublai Khan believe the words of Zhang Hongfan and the others. There was actually cavalry stronger than the Mongol cavalry.

Regret rose up in Kublai Khan’s heart; he regretted moving the 100 thousand troops. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Both sides were caught up with one another, and it was not easy to retreat.

Once the middle troops passed the intersection of the X, the leading Fallen Phoenix Cavalry suddenly split into two, doing a small V along the larger V of the left and right wings.

The Fallen Phoenix City cavalry had already completed their mission. Next, they were going to assist the two wings to lock down the military formations at the sides so that they could not assist the center.

The arrowhead became the even stronger Great Xia Guards Legion Corps that charged right at the third line of troops that was the last line of defense of Kublai Khan.

The player cavalry forces coordinated flawlessly, making people look on in awe. Only the most elite cavalry forces in the wilderness could complete such high difficulty tactics.

Only at this stage did Kublai Khan see through the intentions of the enemy.

“Damn it, you want to kill me? In your dreams!”

Without needing Kublai Khan to order them, the 40 thousand troops around him gathered toward the center to try to block the charge of the Guards Legion Corps. Both sides exploded out in a beautiful charge at one another.

Although the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps were unparalleled in the world, the 40 thousand troops beside Kublai Khan were also the most elite cavalry forces of the Mongol, and they were all heavy armored.

It was hard to differentiate the winner as both sides tangled up with one another.

At this stage, the entire battlefield seemingly entered a stalemate.

The 150 thousand player cavalry relied on their exquisitely designed wedge tactic to stab right into the Mongol army, trying to get rid of their leader.

However, the Mongol cavalry were not weak, and although they were caught off guard, they still had the numerical advantage. Under the leadership of Kublai Khan, they quickly stabilized themselves.

The Mongol cavalry at the outer regions had already arrived, giving up on charging to the front and turning towards the two tired wings of the player forces.

Looking at the situation, Kublai Khan actually wanted to use the outer soldiers to surround the player army. To make matters worse, upon learning that their main barracks was attacked, the east and west Mongol wings started to move toward the north.

In Zhang Hongfan’s eyes, there was nothing as important as saving the emperor. Hence, the moment he got the news, he immediately stopped the siege and led troops up north to assist.

Furthermore, the Lin’an troops did not dare to strike out. These newbies were already at their maximum defending. If they were asked to chase the enemy, they would be free food.

The situation seemed to be developing negatively for the South Song camp.

Weirdly, be it the charging cavalry or Guo Ziyi who was commanding, neither showed panic, and they all appeared to be really confident.

The reason was still the Divine Martial Guards led by Ouyang Shuo. This rare and never seen before special forces unit had yet to bare their fangs.

Taking the chance that the Guards Legion Corps were holding up the enemy, the Divine Martial Guards suddenly exploded. Under the personal leadership of Ouyang Shuo, they were like a sharp arrow, directed charging toward Kublai Khan’s location.

Three thousand against 10 thousand; Ouyang Shuo was really confident.

After cultivating, along with the ten-thousand-year stalactite, the skills of the three thousand Divine Martial Guards had reached a new level. One of them could take down three Guards Legion Corps members.

Gathered together, they were even more terrifying. They could pretty much killing anyone in their sights.

The key was timing, as they had to kill Kublai Khan before the reinforcements arrived.

“That’s too difficult!”

Kublai Khan was not a piece of wood and would not just stand there and wait for Ouyang Shuo to kill him.

Just as the Divine Martial Guards had broken through to the fourth and fifth line, Kublai Khan took a shocking course of action. He actually abandoned his army and retreated toward the barracks.

“Kublai Khan is running!”

This was not saying that he was timid, but that he had seen through the situation and knew that if they continued with such a standstill, the Mongol army would win.

The prerequisite was that he could not remain here, and he could not distract the army.

Whilst retreating, he even felt delighted. The seemingly exquisite plans of the players were in truth them digging a hole for themselves and seeking their own deaths.

Kublai Khan’s mood suddenly turned for the better.

…

On the battlefield, Ouyang Shuo swept forward with his Tianmo Spear. A black light shone, and instantly, four to five Mongol calvary soldiers were taken down. Seeing that Kublai Khan was trying to escape, Ouyang Shuo grinned.

“It seems like I have to use my trump card.”

Ouyang Shuo took a card out from his bag.

Jiangdong Warrior Summoning Card (platinum rank): Single time use item, after use, can summon 10 thousand Jiangdong Warriors, lasting for 12 hours.

“Summon!” Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate and used it right away.

As long as he could take down Kublai Khan, using a platinum rank item was totally worth it. Ouyang Shuo did not believe that the items Kublai Khan dropped would not be a treasure.

With Ouyang Shuo as the core, a huge white light rose up from the ground and blinded everyone.

This oppressive white light expanded at a visible rate. The light seemed to hide a mysterious energy, being able to differentiate between friend and foe, pushing apart the Mongol cavalry and forming an empty section of land that could fit 10 thousand men.

Once the light faded, 10 thousand Jiangdong Warriors appeared from thin air. The leading general wore a silver armor, and he cupped his fist toward Ouyang Shuo, “I am Xiang Bing, all the warriors are in place, please give your order!”

“Kill them!”

Ouyang Shuo pointed at the surrounding Mongol cavalry and gave his command.

“Yes, my king!”

Xiang Bing did not say a word as he led his men and charged at the Mongol cavalry. Ouyang Shuo led the Divine Martial Guards forward and chased Kublai Khan into the north barracks.

…

The sudden change stunned all the soldiers on the battlefield. Especially the Mongols, who could not imagine what had just happened. All of them stood there with their mouths agape.

Zhang Hongfan, who was rushing over, felt his heart shake when he saw the blinding white light. Suddenly, he thought about the rumors in Lin’an City that said that the Xia King was a deity that could summon soldiers from heaven.

Looking at the scene in front of him, wasn’t that proof of those rumors?

“Are they working with the gods?”

Just thinking about it caused fear to rise up in Zhang Hongfan’s heart.

Moreover, at that moment, on the north wall, the newbies in charge of defending all knelt down and prayed. They muttered, “The gods have shown themselves. The gods have shown their powers!”

Those civilians that entered through the north gate all looked on with their mouths agape.

It was like time had stopped, as the entire battlefield was totally quiet. Only when the Jiangdong Warriors charged to the front of them did the Mongol cavalry return to their senses and instinctively fought back.

“Kill!”

This shout was like the key to time, as it brought everyone back to their senses.

All of a sudden, killing shouts broke out.

The Battle of Yashan had entered its most crucial period of time.

…

North barracks.

Although the war had begun, the barracks were not totally empty. Zhang Hongfan had arranged a batch of Mongol warriors to stay here and defend. As a result, when Ouyang Shuo and his men entered, they were welcomed by a round of arrows.

Ouyang Shuo looked out at the back view of Kublai Khan and smiled coldly, “Why, are we going to play hide and seek?”
