Myriad Paths

Chapter 322 Practical Application

Li Qi won, and won very easily.

This battle lasted only one hour, and even the early deployment of troops was useless.

Yes, deployment of troops, including ambushes, and checking the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves, were useless.

Li Qi was very simple, and led his men to charge.

Li Lieqi was hard to understand.

How did he do it?

Li Lieqi mobilized the entire northern country's military force, which can be said to be a warlike war.

The military force and available combat power are at least 30% higher than the military force in Li Qi's hands. This is because Li Qi used the method of harmony to reduce losses and was able to raise more soldiers.

If calculated according to the usual, Li Lieqi's military force would be more than double that of Li Qi!

When the quality of the soldiers is similar, the equipment and weapons are similar, and the level of the skills is similar, more than double the military force represents an absolute advantage!

However, this absolute advantage was defeated by Li Qi's full-scale assault.

Both sides did not have time to deploy their troops, to use their own military tactics, or even to mobilize before the war. Li Qi led his troops to attack directly, and then directly penetrated the enemy army that was 30% larger than his own, which directly led to a great rout that Li Lieqi could not control. Countless routs directly collapsed the entire formation!

There were not even many casualties.

Because they did not enter the flesh and blood mill head-on, they only caused a great rout.

"Impossible!" Li Lieqi's eyes widened.

Without any hesitation, after realizing that she was powerless to save the situation, she stood up without hesitation, abandoned the soldiers who were still around her, and left the cave directly.

She wanted to see the replay!

How did they lose? The whole battle did not last for an hour. The soldiers under her command could not be so fragile. These were all regular soldiers of the ninth rank!

After she left the cave, she rushed to the teacher who was recording and said hurriedly: "Sir, I want to see the replay, I want to see the situation on Li Qi's side!"

The Ranger General, who had always been very calm and rarely had any emotional fluctuations, just nodded silently as always, and then took out a jade slip. You can vaguely see the demonic energy jumping in these jade slips, as if there is a little man poking his head inside.

The jade slip has book energy, which can record information, and the source of the demonic energy comes from the book demon.

This is a kind of little demon that uses books as a means of cultivation. It usually lives in jade slips, bamboo slips or books to help record information.

This is also part of the book demon's cultivation. The more things recorded and the higher the level, the more benefits the book demon has.

There was a book demon in the past who often followed a powerful person, copying books, recording messages for him, etc. When the powerful person finally achieved enlightenment, the book demon also ascended with the chickens and dogs and achieved the fourth grade.

Therefore, the position of book demon in the Imperial College is actually quite popular. Many book demons will rush to sign up to come to the Imperial College to record documents or courseware, just like this at this moment.

Let's not talk about these trivial matters for now. Li Lieqi directly grabbed the jade slip, and then the evil spirit in his body shook. A small book demon like a butterfly was directly ejected and fell heavily on the table. He coughed several times and looked much weaker.

Li Lieqi thought the book demon was in the way, so she wanted to read the records herself.

The other students basically didn't come out so early, so now there are only the teacher and Li Qi and Li Lieqi who just finished the battle in the classroom.

The Ranger General took a look, but said nothing. As always, he was like a stone man, quietly waiting for the students to do things by themselves.

Except for necessary things, the Ranger General never said a word.

Li Qi, who just came out, frowned, gently flicked out a finger of wood energy, lifted up the little book demon, and stimulated his vitality to avoid the root of the disease.

Being blown away by an eighth-grade evil spirit, for these low-grade book monsters, bad luck can be fatal.

She hurriedly opened the jade slip, sank into it, and began to understand the detailed information recorded in it.

The scene went back to an hour ago.

Li Lieqi was walking among the three armies in a show of force.

As for Li Qi, he said nothing. He just ordered each soldier to stand in different positions according to his arrangement, and each position was responsible for an area.

Unlike Li Lieqi's passionate and domineering way of leading troops, Li Qi was just like he usually behaved, polite, but he had his own plan, and everything was in order.

Then, it was the time when Li Lieqi was most confused.

Originally, both sides had arrived at the front line. At this time, they should have checked the other side's strengths and weaknesses, looked at the situation, and made a camp and formation suitable for their own side.

Especially since Li Qi was the defender, it should be even more so.

But at this time, Li Qi directly led the army, the whole army attacked, and a mess rushed out.

Li Lieqi was overjoyed at the time, thinking that Li Qi was confused, and immediately set up a battle formation to fight.

But the formation was broken at the first touch, and was directly pierced by Li Qi's soldiers.

"Yes, it's here, what's going on!? Why did my front line collapse so quickly?!" Li Lieqi clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Then, she kept looking back and forth from various directions.

No matter how she looked, she couldn't understand.

Finally, she put down the jade slip, walked in front of Li Qi, and saluted with both hands: "Student Li, may I ask where I lost?"

Li Qi listened to this question and pondered for a while.

He was thinking about how to say it.

Because he was afraid of offending people.

To be honest, Li Qi didn't have a good impression of this woman.

From the inexplicable picking of faults at the beginning, to her random anger later, I thought she was just a child, but looking at her military tactics...

She recklessly used human lives as consumables, and used military force for victory. Now she is so rude to a book demon who records...

How should I put it? Li Qi would not comment too much on the behavior of others, but from Li Lieqi's many performances, it is obvious that this is a woman who is easy to get angry and offend easily.

At this time, you still have to consider your words, after all, Li Qi doesn't want to offend someone casually.

So he said: "I just tried it, and I don't know why the results are so gratifying. Let me ask the teacher to explain."

He simply threw this troublesome matter to the teacher.

Li Lieqi did not doubt him and looked at the Ranger General again: "Teacher, can you help me solve my doubts?"

"As a teacher, I should help you solve your doubts. In fact, there is nothing special. You only looked at his formation, arrangement, and military tactics, so you think there is nothing special. Then take a look at Li Qi's military spirit, what do you think?"

"Military spirit?" Li Lieqi frowned, then picked up the jade slip and unfolded it again.

With a target, she carefully checked it bit by bit and finally found a clue.

Although Li Qi's military appearance was not much different from hers, he had another demeanor in military spirit.

His deployment of troops, military training, and the deployment of strange strategies and regular forces were not as good as Li Lieqi.

Not to mention, his choice was to temporarily ignore these things and force the assault, which dragged the originally strict military appearance into a mess.

However, although it was already so chaotic, the military spirit gathered by Li Qi's soldiers was not chaotic at all, and even... became stronger!

"How could it be, this is impossible... No, it's not impossible." Li Lieqi rubbed his face and gave up saying impossible.

This is not impossible, but a reality that has already happened. Saying it is impossible is just escaping from reality. You can't do such self-deception.

Since it has already happened, there must be a reason.

How did Li Qi do this beyond common sense?

Li Lieqi forced himself to calm down and think, recalling what he saw.

As we all know, the military spirit is a collective force formed by the soldiers gathering into a whole. It can gather the power of countless soldiers, unite as one, and exert greater power.

Therefore, a group of ninth-grade soldiers gathered together, in most cases, they can suppress or even kill the eighth-grade cultivators.

This is the meaning of the existence of the army, which allows lower-level practitioners to fight against higher-level practitioners, and makes more people an advantage, rather than being killed by others relying on the advantage of cultivation.

The difference between a mob and an elite soldier lies in this.

Then, the key to the military spirit is to be able to integrate the power of these mobs, let them form an entity, and use it to fight the enemy. This is the iconic technique and housekeeping skills of the humane military strategist.

No matter how many changes there are, they all remain essentially the same. No matter what strange tricks Li Qi has behind his military spirit, they cannot be separated from this foundation, which is the root of the military strategist.

If Li Qi can break through this point, he will be a school of his own and do the same thing as the military strategist.

In the human way, this is considered to be the level of founding a school, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Qi to do it.

Therefore, the military spirit must be based on the human military strategist. The key lies in how to achieve strong military spirit when the formation is not in order?

Humanity attaches the most importance to rules. Without rules, the power of the people cannot be combined into one force. Ordinary military spirit depends on the formation. If the formation is not in order, the military spirit will naturally be scattered.

Li Qi was able to maintain the strong and strict military spirit in the chaotic full-army assault, even stronger than Li Lieqi himself. The secret must be there.

She continued to look back and forth at the few minutes when the army collapsed.

However, although she had realized where the problem was, she could not see any clues.

There is nothing more torturous than this.

I clearly know where the mistake is. I've told you that the question is wrong, but you can't understand it.

This made Li Lieqi feel humiliated, as if he was insulted.

Fortunately, although she was irritable, she couldn't be a fool after practicing to the eighth level.

So she temporarily suppressed her anger and took a deep breath.

Then, she simply put away the jade slip, walked to Li Qi, and raised her hand: "I can't figure it out. I dare to ask classmate Li to solve my doubts for me."

Li Qi couldn't help but say it. After all... this was related to his next plan.

Li Lieqi had to take the initiative so that he wouldn't be suspected of having ulterior motives.

So Li Qi sat down on the desk and said to Li Lieqi: "This is natural. We agreed to share what we have. How can we cherish what we have? Classmate Li Lieqi, listen to me carefully."

Then, he waved his hand, and the wood energy and mountain energy combined to produce small wood stubbles.

However, these small wood stumps combined with water vapor gradually grew and turned into thumb-sized models. Although they might not be lifelike, they at least looked like human beings.

"Military spirit comes from the combined efforts of everyone, so what is combined effort and what is the limit of combined effort?" Li Qi asked Li Lieqi.

However, he just asked and did not expect this woman to answer at all, because he knew that Li Lieqi would probably not be able to answer.

So in fact, Li Qi's culture was helping him to sort out his thoughts.

What is the combined force?

Li Qi has studied physics, and the thinking from another world helped him open up his mind in this regard.

In physics, any force is essentially a combined force composed of countless component forces.

In other words, if the force is not used in one direction, then the force of the crowd cannot be used and will conflict with each other.

This is the role of humanitarian rules, which stipulates the direction of the combined force of the crowd, so that the strength of all people can be used together.

Then the question is.

What is the "boundary" between the combined force and the component forces?

Or to ask it another way, since the military spirit cannot be possessed by one person, but must be possessed by the collective, how many people are considered a collective?

One person is definitely not a collective.

Then two people? Three people?

When it comes to how many people, it becomes a collective?

This is the question that Li Qi has been thinking about these days.

Although he did not perceive the essence, it was not in vain to do so many experiments. Li Qi still gained something.

This is the trick he used today.

He continued: "Since the boundary between the individual and the collective cannot be distinguished, can this be used?"

Li Qi placed the models and divided them into small groups one after another.

"Each of these teams can gather military spirit." Li Qi pointed to the models divided into small groups and said.

Then, he connected all the small groups together: "From the perspective of this large group, these small groups can be regarded as individuals."

Li Qi thought this was easy to understand.

What are people made of? Cut a piece of meat from a person, why can't this piece of meat have the nature of a person? He is obviously a part of a person, why are bones, flesh, blood, skin, brain, and soul combined together to form a person, but not when separated?

The same is true for the military spirit of the legion.

If a single person cannot form it, can it be formed in the form of a group?

As long as it is guaranteed that the military spirit can be formed between small groups, then if the small groups are regarded as individuals, and these "individuals" are used to form other groups, will there be similar military spirit?

Then, further expanding, can we abandon the most basic order of individual composition, as long as the order of small group composition is established, then, will the combined force remain the same as before?

In other words, as long as the small groups maintain order, there is no need for the neat formation of the large army, and the military spirit can be restored.

In this way, the scattered chaotic army can also carry a complete or even stronger military spirit when charging!

This is the practical application of the boundary theory, and it is Li Qi's latest achievement!

Not understanding the principle does not mean that it cannot be applied to a certain extent!
