Chapter 786 Reinforcements
This move is Zhang Xu's unique skill.
In theory, in order to maintain the morale and formation of the army, everyone in the army needs to stand in a specific position, play different roles, use the military flag as a guide, and combine the strength of everyone.
This is easy to understand. When a team stands together, they can naturally realize that it is a team, just like when college students do exercises, when everyone stands together, they are naturally a collective.
And if this team is dispersed, a whole class of college students are scattered in the dormitory building, toilet, playground, and even skipping classes, then in this case, they naturally cannot become a whole, and they cannot gather the morale of the army.
Therefore, it is very difficult to maintain the morale of the army in a dispersed state. This requires not only cooperation, but also mutual trust among all soldiers, and extremely high tactical literacy, and the ability to accurately contact teammates in the chaotic environment of the battlefield.
The number of human beings is small, only a few hundred people, and Zhang Xu's troops are twice that of the opponent, so as long as he rushes into the enemy with a scattered formation and separates and encircles, this is his tactic.
Although the morale of the army has weakened after the dispersion, it is worth it.
But, the next moment, Zhang Xu's eyes widened!
Humanity, also scattered.
Moreover, it scattered even more! They only maintained the organization of the tactical team, and then hundreds of people were separated, and they had reached the point of "fighting on their own"!
How is it possible? !
In this state, their military spirit did not decline at all!
How did they do this? !
Zhang Xu couldn't figure it out, but if the opponent was familiar with humanity, he would know that this was one of the characteristics of humanity.
The cardinals of all realms.
They didn't need to confirm the location of their teammates, because the terminal naturally connected everyone through the cardinals of all realms. As long as their numbers and military flags were still there, they could accurately build military spirit.
Everyone knew what they were going to do, everyone understood their goals, and everyone had sufficient motivation, great courage, complete rationality and superb combat skills.
They were self-disciplined, full of fighting spirit, and had strong subjective initiative. They were willing to learn and happy to learn. They used the "Tao" to arm their spirits and strengthened their bodies with magic and martial arts.
This is an iron army. Even if the number of people is only half, the combat effectiveness is several times that of the so-called "elite" of Baiyue.
As mentioned before.
In a one-on-one battle, the grassroots officers of the humane way may not be able to defeat Zhang Xu due to their talents.
In a ten-on-ten battle, it will be difficult for Zhang Xu to fight.
And now that the army has broken in, thousands of people are fighting against hundreds of people, then Zhang Xu's chance of winning is-zero.
Zhang Xu's soldiers fight for rewards.
But the soldiers of the humane way are not like this.
Zhang Xu himself also accurately realized this.
No, no! Can't fight in the military formation! Can't have this kind of collision.
Will die, no chance of winning!
He looked at the expressions of the humane soldiers in front of him, that kind of resolute, but with a relaxed expression, Zhang Xu immediately realized that if they continued to fight like this, they would be directly smashed by the humane way.
However, if there is no military spirit...
As we all know, the difference between an army and a pile of loose sand is the formation and military spirit. Military spirit can gather the strength of everyone, so that low-quality soldiers can exert high-quality combat power.
With this blessing, a thousand-man iron army and a thousand scattered soldiers can even be wiped out without injury.
So, if the frontal military spirit cannot be defeated... there is no doubt that they will die, but if they choose to continue to disperse and directly give up the military spirit, it is probably also a death.
What to do... what to do?
His brain was thinking rapidly, trying to find a way to survive.
He was not living for the sake of living, but to complete the mission by living. It is impossible for him to die as soon as he went out, right?
Then, the legion war is bound to lose, but... if the battle can be turned into small battle units, or even one-on-one, is there a chance of winning?
Just like what I just emphasized, one-on-one, humanity is limited by talent and may not win.
So, I can dismantle it on my side, but how can humanity be dismantled into one-on-one?
Is there any way?
That's right!
Military flag!
Cut the flag, then humanity will naturally be dismantled into small battle units.
"Disperse again, disperse again!" He immediately raised the flag.
The soldiers who were charging had no doubts. As long as the chief officer gave an order, they only needed to execute it. Zhang Xu had great prestige in the military camp, and everyone was willing to entrust their lives to him.
The army immediately dispersed again, and even reached the point where the morale of the soldiers collapsed, and could only maintain weak contact.
The human side also immediately adjusted its combat unit and dispersed to the same extent as the other side, and dispersed more. Even with the solid morale of the human side, it began to fluctuate.
However, this fluctuation was much better than Zhang Xu's army, which was almost collapsing.
If you face the scattered soldiers' charge with a tight formation, you will easily be drowned by the human wave tactics, which is absolutely not acceptable.
The human wave tactics does not mean that there are many people. Although Zhang Xu's army is indeed large, it is not so large that it can be drowned. The human wave tactics actually means that it is like a wave, one wave after another, constantly exerting pressure on the overall front until the opponent's front appears flawed, and then suddenly concentrate superior forces to break through the flaws and bloom inside.
Besides, since the troops are dispersed, even if they are covered by firepower or even bombed, they will not suffer too much damage. Only a dozen people will be lost at a time. It is a very efficient tactic to give the enemy the greatest pressure with the least casualties.
So in the face of the enemy's scattered soldiers, it is foolish to gather together to defend the position, and the commander of the humane way chose to disperse.
Everyone disperses together, your soldiers' morale is weak, while my soldiers' morale is still strong. In this state, everyone enters the battle of interspersed field battles, and naturally my side has a huge advantage.
The grassroots officers of the humane way are very confident.
To put it bluntly...
I am strong in tactical literacy, strict military appearance is my strength, soldiers' morale, equipment, morale, magic, training level and tactical thinking, intelligence, and even friendship between soldiers. No matter from which aspect, I am strong.
Why do you beat me?
Even the weakest part of the humane way, "cultivation", is actually similar to Zhang Xu's army. Everyone's grades are actually similar. Even if it is one-on-one, fighting one-on-one, it is not necessarily a loss.
As expected, both sides dispersed and entered the stage of field confrontation.
Just after they met, the soldiers on both sides collided with fierce light.
The battle was like a lit match, and the matchstick was charred black in a flash.
In just a few minutes, the land within a radius of dozens of miles had turned into a black land, and the forests, bushes, sand and the like that were fine before were all flattened by the aftermath.
Fortunately, there was no life left on the land of Song Country, and only some "trees" that seemed to be alive stood in place, pretending to be alive.
Yes, pretending, because the vitality had long been cut off, but the plants just needed some time to rot.
However, under the aftermath of this battle, even a pile of grass and a bush were affected. Even if they had not yet burned into a pile of black charcoal, those charred stumps could not even maintain their final dignity.
The first to collide were the infantry, the heavily armed infantry, in combat teams, colliding and killing each other, and interspersed throughout the field.
The light cavalry, on the other hand, were wandering on the edge of the battlefield. They were scouts, responsible for raising flags, observing the enemy's reserve, and harassing some slow-running heavy infantry.
But the surroundings were obscured by magic, so the light cavalry had to keep firing a kind of sentinel arrows, which were magic weapons that could tear through the darkness, illuminate the way ahead, and open up vision for the entire team.
Zhang Xu stayed in the back, he did not rush to the front, that was not the job of the military lieutenant, that was the job of the vanguard general, he was the commander, and needed to have an overview of the overall situation.
Around Zhang Xu, there were precious heavy cavalry, and reserves that had not yet been put into battle.
Sending all the troops at once was a fool's job. Whether it was humanity or Zhang Xu, most of the troops were reserved as reserves, and less than one-fifth of the troops were actually fighting, which ensured that after the first contact, they still had the ability to play backhands.
The whole army can only attack at the last moment, whether it is the last moment of victory or a desperate fight.
Zhang Xu presided over the military flag and looked at the battlefield. The light cavalry were far away over there, so he could not see them. He only heard the sound and light of the whistle arrows, which rang for a while. This was the message of the whistle arrows, but it was silent after a while.
Obviously, the light cavalry over there sent the last news, they died.
Zhang Xu did not fluctuate, this is how the battle was.
He racked his brains to find a chance to win. From the message of the light cavalry, he learned that the humane combat team can still gather the military spirit alone. Each team has a giant monster similar to the Dharma. These giant monsters can easily sweep the equal combat team, and at least five times the troops are needed to be evenly matched.
That is, under the suppression of these giant monsters, the front scattered soldiers tactics have completely failed.
From Zhang Xu's point of view, the front line can almost be said to be a complete defeat.
The valley turned into a valley of ashes. The power of the magic bombing has been significantly weakened. The previous impact explosions and blazing flames are now emitting thick smoke.
Countless collapsed ruins are placed in front of Zhang Xu. Countless broken and charred tree remains are now visible in the dim light of the sky whistle arrows everywhere. The scene is devastated and gloomy.
However, some things still survive in such a disaster, that is, the war machines of humanity.
Yes, war machines. Humanity has assembled dozens of large machines, imitating various mythical beasts, including white tigers, Suanni, black turtles, and black birds. These war machines appear colorful under the light of various magics, and the various colors are particularly eye-catching.
However, their purpose is to destroy everything without distinction, which is unique on the battlefield Zhang Xu has seen.
They seemed to be shining with the morning light in the east. These war machines, mechanical beasts from the humane Mohist school, stood in the center of the battlefield. They constantly emitted irresistible great light, and sometimes stopped, as if looking at the terrible scene they had created.
Zhang Xu racked his brains, but he found with some despair that he really couldn't defeat the opponent.
Was he going to die just less than a hundred miles out of the city gate?
However, the next moment——
A huge gauze hit the heart of the humane position!
The explosion created a huge pit. There was a white tiger mechanical beast over there. It was affected by the aftermath and fell to the ground. The fire column shot up into the sky, and then mixed with the smoke and dust to become a blood-red smoke column.
Zhang Xu turned his head and looked!
It was reinforcements!
Looking carefully, he saw that on the other side, another army was approaching. It was also one of the 17 armies in the Baiyue area.
They took the time to gather strength for Zhang Xu's side and fired a cannon, catching the human race off guard.
This made Zhang Xu excited. He commanded the flag officer to raise the flag, thanked the other side, and started the bombing on his side.
The magic team in the reserve team immediately assembled, using the formation and magic weapons to gather strength and start fire coverage!
They didn't do this before because the morale of the human race was enough to resist these bombings.
But because the reinforcements fired a big cannon unexpectedly, the morale of the human race was hit.
We must seize the opportunity!
Zhang Xu bombed at all costs!
Under such bombardment, the huge pit became larger, and wisps of brilliant green smoke emerged again and again, demonstrating the power just now.
"Keep going, don't stop! Fire all the firepower! Maximum load!" Zhang Xu screamed!
He saw a possible chance of victory--!
Because during the bombing,
a starlight that was getting brighter and brighter rose from the friendly position in the distance, flew into the sky, gradually dissipated, and then rushed in this direction.
Zhang Xu immediately said to the adjutant: "Bring my gun!"
The adjutant immediately carried a big red gun and handed it to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu waved it, then took a deep breath, used the internal energy of martial arts under his feet, kicked hard, and flew into the sky, and finally disappeared without a trace in the night.
He did not really disappear, but the special effects of martial arts were relatively few, and he could not be compared with others.
But this added a little disguise to him, although it was useless. The night could block the sight of mortals, but it could not block the perception of humanity.
But... there is no need to disguise.
Because——
This is an assault!
With a loud bang! Zhang Xu smashed directly into the center of the enemy formation, waving his spear like a flying dragon. The internal energy of martial arts plus martial arts, combined with the indomitable martial arts spirit, actually tore a hole!
Unfortunately, if there were no accidents, this hole would be blocked by human beings immediately. The eighth-grade of human beings have also moved towards this side, ready to cooperate with the military spirit to intercept and kill it.
Normally, this kind of charge is no different from seeking death,
but... the accident has already come.
Almost at the same time, a fierce dog fell with Zhang Xu!
When this fierce dog appeared, thunder resounded all around, and there were many stars.
This is a real celestial dog, the identity that the former Devouring Heaven Demon Lord once disguised.
The reinforcements are the demon clan! (End of this chapter)
