Myriad Paths

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 into one.

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 people 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.

Moreover, because 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 last dignity.

The first to collide were the infantry, the heavily armed infantry, in combat squads, 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 were dead.

Zhang Xu did not fluctuate, this was the battle.

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 scattered soldiers tactics in front 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 crater. There was a white tiger mechanism beast over there. It was affected by the aftermath and lay down directly. The pillar of fire shot into the sky, and then mixed with the smoke and dust, turning into a blood-red smoke pillar.

Zhang Xu immediately turned around and looked!

It's reinforcements!

Looking carefully, he saw another army approaching from the other side. It was also one of the seventeen armies in the Baiyue area.

They took the time to gather strength for Zhang Xu's side and fired a shot, catching Humanity by surprise.

This invigorated Zhang Xu. He commanded the flag officer, raised the flag, expressed his gratitude to the other party, and started the bombing on his own side.

The magic team in the reserve team immediately assembled, used formations and magic weapons to gather strength, and began to cover the area with firepower!

This was not done before because humane military strength was sufficient to withstand these bombings.

However, due to the unexpected large-scale artillery fire from the reinforcements, a hole was created in the humane soldiers' morale.

Must seize the opportunity!

Zhang Xu will bomb with all his strength at all costs!

Under such bombardment, the huge crater became larger, and wisps of brilliant green smoke repeatedly emerged, demonstrating the power just now.

"Continue, don't stop! Put out all the firepower! Maximum load!" Zhang Xu screamed!

He saw a possible chance of victory——!

Because right at the time of the bombing,

An increasingly bright star rose into the sky from a friendly position in the distance, spiraled into the sky, gradually dispersed, and then rushed in this direction.

Zhang Xu immediately said to the adjutant: "Bring me my gun!"

The adjutant immediately carried a big red gun over and handed it into Zhang Xu's hands.

Zhang Xu waved, then raised his breath, took a deep breath, the martial arts energy was under his feet, and with a fierce kick, the whole person flew into the sky, and finally disappeared without a trace in the night.

He didn't really disappear, but his martial arts special effects were relatively small, so he couldn't compare with others.

But this only adds a trace of disguise to him, although it is useless. The night can block the sight of mortals, but it cannot block the perception of humanity.

But...there's no need to pretend.

because--

This is an assault!

Boom! Zhang Xu directly hit the center of the enemy formation, waving the spear in his hand like a dragon. The martial arts inner energy plus martial arts, coupled with the indomitable martial arts spirit, actually tore a hole open!

Unfortunately, if there is no accident, this opening will be blocked by Humanity soon, and the eighth-level Humanity has also moved closer, preparing to intercept and kill it with the help of soldiers.

Normally, there is no difference between charging like this and seeking death.

But...the accident had already come.

Almost at the same time, there was also a fierce dog that fell with Zhang Xu!

When the fierce dog appeared, there was thunder and lots of starlight all around.

This is a real tengu, the identity that the former Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord once disguised.

The reinforcements are the demon clan! (End of chapter)
