After the group of people returned to the headquarters with lots of discussion, they were greeted by a mighty welcoming team composed of tens of thousands of people led by Zhao Yalong.
Tens of thousands of players and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat square formation, applauding and scattering flowers to welcome their return with the highest etiquette.
When Cheng Peng rode his jade horse and took the lead through the triumphal arch temporarily built by the logistics officers, the cheers and applause almost shook the clouds in the sky to pieces! [.com]
"This battle can be said to be a complete victory!" Zhao Yalong said happily when he came to the Chinese army tent, "Look, the entire strength of the Demon King's Army has begun to shrink in an all-round way, let alone the more prominent ones.
The demarcation tower and even the next level four tower between the two armies were directly abandoned by them - if this continues, there will be only the last level four tower left between us and their stronghold..."
"They have made it clear that they want to rely on this last tower to defend." Cheng Peng said with a smile, "This is a really bad idea! In this way, those fence-sitters will definitely choose to join us!"
"But they have no choice!" Zhao Yalong smiled very happily, as if a flower bloomed on the middle-aged man's wrinkled face, "If they don't retreat and continue to fight, their morale will be completely destroyed.
I can’t hold it any longer.”
"According to statistics from our frontline intelligence officers, before their entire army retreated, a small number of soldiers of the Demon King's Army were found to have fallen behind and fled - which means that their morale has reached the edge of collapse." Hua Qisheng.
Holding a battle report, he said seriously, "Although we players ignore the attribute of morale, our soldiers do have morale. And no matter how many troops we have, morale is shared. Once the morale of the entire army is
If it collapses, the soldiers will collapse directly, and then no more soldiers can be summoned for a long time... Please imagine, between the two sides fighting to the death, what will happen if one of the sides suddenly loses its soldiers?
"
This situation is of course easy to imagine. Because on the bloody battlefield, soldiers are not only the most reliable cannon fodder, but also the only support that allows players to be protected by the "strategic mode". When players fight with soldiers, as long as the soldiers
If it is not exhausted, it will help the player share half of the damage. Once all the soldiers are dead, the player will receive complete damage... The gap between the two is so huge that it can be said to be as big as heaven and earth.
distance!
In addition to the five-star masters who do not use soldiers when fighting at full strength because the soldiers cannot keep up with their own fighting pace, even the four-star peak masters also need to rely on the strategic mode protection provided by the soldiers in order to have no worries.
Fight to the end.
If the morale of the Demon King's army completely collapses, without the millions of soldiers as cannon fodder, their attack power may not be greatly affected, but hundreds of thousands of players without the protection of the strategic mode will be naked.
Being exposed to the hail of bullets and arrows from the crusade—that could be said to be a disaster. What awaited them would be the complete annihilation of their entire army!
No matter what kind of master you are, it is impossible to single-handedly save hundreds of thousands of people from an unfavorable situation in which the damage effect is doubled!
So just like Zhao Yalong said, the Demon King's army has no choice but to retreat.
And in order to give the entire army time to restore morale, they must retreat to the rear and conduct strategic reorganization.
It will take at least half an hour to complete the command of strategic reorganization. During this period, no matter how the expeditionary army attacks, they can only endure it and can only continue to sacrifice a small number of troops to delay, defend, and gain enough
time.
"So... do you want to invest your last troops and pursue the victory?" He Ming asked happily, "I like to pursue the victory best! When we fought against the stick monsters in the Korean Peninsula, we only needed to defeat their morale, and then
You can lead a large number of wild boar soldiers to directly play the pig rush - we just rush over, rush over, step, step, step..."
"It's a pity that we can't continue the attack." Zhao Yalong sighed, with some unfinished regret on his face, "After all, the other party has made the right choice. Faced with the decisive approach of a strong man cutting off his wrist, even if we
No matter how we attack, it is impossible to reach the bottom of the last fourth-level tower in half an hour. And if our strength is exhausted and their morale is restored and they launch a counterattack..."
After imagining such a scene, even the daring Cheng Peng couldn't help but be secretly afraid.
In fact, just now, the crusade army had already reached its limit, and was almost defeated by the Demon King's army's counterattack, causing the entire front line to collapse. If the Demon King's army had not been clever, they sent Honda Tadakatsu, the most powerful general of the Warring States Period, to personally lead the invincible army to face the army led by Cheng Peng.
The master troops and the black-armored elite cavalry tried to compete for all the merits in a single battle, but they were defeated by Cheng Peng's formation and killed Honda Tadakatsu, which severely damaged the morale of the Demon King's army. If they were to forcefully push back their counterattack, they would be afraid of a crusade.
The army was now defeated.
I don't think there will be a second chance of such good luck.
So as Zhao Yalong said, when the battle reaches this point, the crusade army really can no longer continue the attack.
Although the slogan before the war was "attack, attack, attack again", and although the original ideal was to directly defeat the Demon King's army in one fell swoop, it would be best to attack Kyoto City, or simply capture Kyoto City, but everyone knows that
That's just talk.
The reason why an ideal is an ideal is that it is unlikely to become reality...
Therefore, when Zhao Yalong issued the order to the entire army to "conquer the front and ensure the victory," except for a very small number of extreme militants with gunpowder flowing in their veins, the vast majority of the crusade players did not have any doubts.
, but they raised their weapons in unison and cheered in victory.
They have the qualification to cheer, and they have reasons to cheer!
With 300,000 people versus 260,000 people - if we take into account that during the second wave of fighting, even the NPC troops were brought up, in fact the strength of each other is almost the same - in almost six
During the hour-long battle, they had the upper hand, suppressing the enemy and beating them hard, causing the enemy to retreat steadily. They constantly abandoned their positions and destroyed one building after another that usually required a fierce battle to change hands.
The Boundary Tower was surrendered, and was repelled on a large scale twice, losing two extremely important fourth-level towers, pushing the entire front line to less than a hundred kilometers from his own door, and almost losing more than half of his power.
scope……
Not only that, in this tragic and glorious battle, they killed more than a million enemy troops, killed at least ten special NPC generals, and even the famous "Number One in the Warring States Period" among the Demon King's Army.
The fierce general "Honda Tadakatsu" was killed by the gun of Cheng Peng, the strongest general in the crusade, "the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms".
Such a victory is enough to make them proud, make their hearts surge, make their blood boil, and allow them to recall it even many years later.
The victory at this moment will become a glorious moment that they will remember throughout their lives and will be engraved in their hearts forever!
In the conquering army, the cheers shook the sky.
And amidst the cheers, a huge mechanical chariot that was at least twenty meters high creaked out from the headquarters of the Crusade Army.
Below this mechanized chariot are many metal tracks, driven by countless wheels; the thick steel plates protect the entire body of the vehicle so tightly that even a full blow from an average five-star master cannot realistically cause it any damage.
Damage; on the main body of the vehicle, there are at least hundreds of gun barrels protruding from the black holes of the muzzles, pointing in all directions - more than half of them are pointing forward; above the tank is a huge balcony, with many
Many players are running around, some of them are patrols, and many of them are craftsmen who are responsible for continuous repairs.
On the top of the huge machine chariot, on the top of the balcony, a dragon flag was flying high. Below the dragon flag was the entire crusade army headquarters, including Cheng Peng, Zhao Yalong and others.
Of course, they are standing here not only to boost the morale of the entire army and flaunt their victory at this moment, but also to demonstrate to the Demon King's army!
"Look, you can see from the telescope that many players in the Demon King's Army have pale faces!" He Ming smiled happily, "This thing is really awesome! It's just that the name is a little bit rustic."
"How is the name 'Mechanism War City' so rustic?" Xu Tu, the chief designer of this mechanism warfare city, was unhappy and frowned, "We who work in engineering want simplicity and conciseness. Those gorgeous and fancy things are completely useless.
Necessary. And you see, this huge machine chariot has no other name than 'Machine Battle City', which is more appropriate and powerful!"
As he said, indeed only such a name is worthy of this huge mechanical chariot that is already comparable to a small city!
When this huge machine chariot arrived under the white dividing tower that had just been completely occupied by craftsmen, it opened its barrel in the sunlight cast from the sky, and fired demonstratively in the direction of Kyoto City, the stronghold of the Demon King's army.
, the entire punitive army burst out laughing.
After a fierce battle, use your own powerful force that has not been used in the battle to intimidate the enemy. Is there any more joyful victory in the world?

By the way, why would anyone think Honda Tadakatsu is a robot? That is clearly the plot of a gay martial arts drama.
Tadakatsu Honda in Sengoku Warriors is a living, flesh-and-blood person—obviously there is a big difference between passionate martial arts dramas and erotic martial arts dramas...
