Throughout the long history of human wars, soldiers have always been more valuable than their number!
Because of the narrative needs that satisfy the public's appetite, many war records exaggerate so that less can win more.
This kind of exaggerated writing makes people who see it habitually think that the more soldiers there are, the greater the advantage, and that defeating more with less is an unnatural feat!
However, in the ancient war records compiled by Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty in his book "Bai Yu Cong Kao", we can intuitively find:
Victory with less is not uncommon in history!
In ancient times when communication basically relied on shouting and delivery basically relied on walking, the key indicator to measure the ability of a military advisor or general was the ability to mobilize!
The more people there are, the lower the fault tolerance rate of the terrain will be, the overall command efficiency will be lower, and the logistics pressure will be unprecedentedly increased.
So if this is the case, why did the ancients still lie about N times the actual number of participants in the war?
the reason is simple:
Psychological warfare!
The suppression of numbers can give the enemy a huge sense of oppression!
This sense of oppression can trigger internal conflicts within the enemy to a certain extent, making it easy to win the battle without much effort after the battle begins!
But since ancient times, there have been examples of the weak defeating the strong, and the reason is also very simple:
See death as home!
At 10:24, just over 20 minutes later, the first wave of alien charges was abruptly stopped by the tundra fleet of only 10,000 people!
Moreover, during this wave of charges, the fire weapons on the Tundra did not spit fire.
Just relying on everyone holding crossbows and two warriors rising from the water with explosive packs, the tundra fleet successfully curbed the arrogance of the aliens!
Compared with the previous bloody battle, the main reason for achieving such an impressive record is still.
Among the 80,000 aliens who came to support, most of them were land aliens!
Unlike the hundreds of thousands of ocean aliens before, when the land aliens launched a charge, although they could swim, their swimming speed was very impressive and could not match the moving speed of the ships.
This embarrassing situation resulted in that the land aliens could not dive all the way under the fleet and rise up to attack like the ocean aliens. Instead, they had to drive boats and rafts to pursue them.
It lost its greatest advantage and entered the field where humans are good at.
At the beginning, the number of 120,000 aliens quickly dropped to 112,000, and a total of 8,000 aliens fell in the sea.
After the raft fleet left, the entire fleet had no worries and could fight while moving, and the battle situation miraculously improved!
This change naturally made all the ordinary survivors who stayed behind cheer and have high morale.
But at this time, the fourteen captains sitting on the Tundra who were frantically commanding all frowned, with no trace of the joy of winning the battle on their faces.
"Team No. 3 currently has 3,000 bows and arrows, and 1,800 crossbows."
"Team No. 1, 900 bows and arrows, 3,700 crossbows."
"Team No. 2, 6,300 bows and arrows, all finished with crossbows."
"."
There are seven large ships and eighteen small boats. Except for the Tundra, which is the command ship and does not carry a ship, the other large ships are accompanied by three small boats to form a small team.
After three minutes of summary statistics, the remaining ammunition of all teams was tallied up.
Because the physical consumption of the big bow is much greater than that of loading the crossbow, the quantity of the two was about the same, but at this juncture, there was a threefold difference.
Total: 33,000 bows and arrows, 11,500 crossbows.
The two add up to a total of forty-four thousand five hundred!
At first glance, this amount does not seem to be a lot. If it is used by a single person, even if it takes ten days and ten nights, it will not be exhausted.
But if we take into account the nearly 10,000 people currently being defended by the fleet, this number is only enough
Five salvos!
"We still have twenty-four explosive packs and eighty-five homemade explosives. These have been distributed to the stormtroopers. We don't have to worry about the next wave of their attacks for the time being."
"I suggest that after the next wave of defense is over, we spread out and try to widen the front line so that the pressure in every place is not too great."
"Yes, our mobility will be better after spreading out!"
Standing on the bow of the ship, with the clear light cast by the silver moon in the sky, all the captains were communicating while laboriously observing the alien front with telescopes.
After suffering a defeat, the aliens seemed to be much more "honest".
Although I don't know what they are preparing for or what they are waiting for, but judging from their current posture, they have no intention of attacking at all.
For a war involving more than 100,000 people, it is very strange to have such behavior.
However, the captains' doubts did not last long.
Just seven minutes passed, and when a very familiar scene similar to that in the movie appeared in the telescope, everyone had the same wry smile on their faces.
"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that Ying Tianlong would dare to do this. Isn't he afraid that the immortals of the Ying family will come out to find him?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that we avoided the area chatting and used manpower to direct the evacuation, but we were still caught by them."
"Interesting, in the end our enemies are actually our own people."
"Liangzhe, could this be one of our own? Saying he was raped is an understatement!"
In the separate alien positions, four huge raft ferries slowly sailed out.
On the ferry, you can see that behind every human being, there is an alien holding a weapon.
From such a distance, the telescope could not see the movements of these aliens or the expressions on their faces in such an environment.
But the captains present could still picture the alien race grinning ferociously.
Open the game panel and click on the regional channel that can still be used. Sure enough, information belonging to Ying Tianlong quietly appeared in it.
[Ying Tianlong: Hello to all compatriots in the 352 War Zone. It’s a pity that we got to know each other in such an environment. Please bear with me.]
[Ying Tianlong: I know our mighty tundra fleet. Before the evacuation, there were still twenty-two raft ferries. Although we have only captured four of them now, and there are only twenty-six thousand people on them, it doesn’t matter. Let’s continue.
Come down and I will give you half an hour to go back to where you left.]
[Ying Tianlong: By the way, it’s totally fine if you don’t come back. I’m happy to tell you here that the people at the rear of the Tundra Fleet are really powerful. They held us back and gave you a chance to escape. You can escape at will.
, you can escape as far as you want, but in the following time, we will execute one human every second until you all come back here]
[Ying Tianlong: I forgot, the fleet bosses who are still at the rear, there is also a benefit for you here. In addition to the Tundra, you now have six large ships and eighteen small ships. As long as you are willing to send
Come over to any ship, even an empty ship. As long as you drive over and let us receive it, you can take away 1,000 people]
[Ying Tianlong: Of course, as long as you are willing to send the Tundra over, you can directly take away 10,000 people. If you send Lu Yongyi over, you can also take away 10,000 people. How about it, are you excited? 】
Because of the previous evacuation and the presence of rapists, even though the regional channel was open, no one was talking inside, for fear of being raped and seeing the secret.
But at this moment, after seeing Ying Tianlong's arrogant speech and the message behind it.
Not only were all the captains laughed in anger, but even the raft fleet that successfully escaped could not hold back at this time and began to curse in the chat.
The speeches of hundreds of thousands of people, mixed with anger, without the control of the game, poured out in an instant, even more terrifying than the screen refresh of World Chat.
From the situation of human beings to the results after the alien race wins.
From the eighteenth generation of Ying Tianlong's ancestors to the accomplices of the Ying family.
Everyone was scolding him, but Ying Tianlong seemed to be dead and never came out to say a word.
The villain dies because he talks too much.
Everyone knows, including Ying Tianlong himself, how bad the nature of what he is doing is.
Therefore, he must hurry up and get rid of all the people who are aware of the situation before the game is upgraded and the world chat and private messages are opened.
He forced all the rafts to return to the vicinity of the fleet in order to disrupt the defensive front and create opportunities for the alien attacking team.
He proposed to use ships in exchange for hostages in order to upset the mentality of all defenders and destroy the defense force without any blood.
His methods were very mean, but he was very smart and grasped the "emotions" in the hearts of the Chinese people.
On the four raft ferries, the killing did not happen one person per second as Ying Tianlong said, except that because of his speech, a few people who wanted to resist were cut down by the aliens behind them.
The others were just being guarded and did not appear to be in danger.
But it is precisely this that puts a huge pressure on the captains standing on the Tundra and looking from a distance!
No one knows how much Ying Tianlong has to save before he can start the settlement.
No one knows what kind of crazy methods he will use with such frenzy.
Unless you choose to abandon these friendly forces, no one dares to gamble!
"I'll go change it and put explosives on my boat. I'll go over and change it with them!"
Without any hesitation, after confirming that the people on the ferry in sight were the ones who had just evacuated, the deck of the Tundra became lively.
None of the fourteen captains flinched! They all shouted at themselves to drive the boat over to exchange with the aliens!
No one is afraid, no one is afraid, everyone's eyes are filled with "fearlessness"!
Although at this moment, they knew that Lu Yongyi sitting inside would not agree to such a slow death and would reject their idea without hesitation.
etc.
What about Lu Suo?
When everyone was talking about war on paper, Lu Suo didn't say anything, and finally gave an order to counter the breakout.
This time, after realizing that Lu Suo still didn't speak...
Everyone was furious instantly!
"No, Lu Suo absolutely cannot change with them!"
"Yes, I'm going to change. We can't let Lu Suo go, this bastard Ying Tianlong!"
"Protect Lu Suo!"
If it were in a movie, when the enemy makes such a request, 100% of the time, the leader will step forward and choose to sacrifice himself in exchange for the safety of ordinary people.
Before receiving complete military knowledge, inferring what will happen next based on plots in movies and novels is the final stubbornness of these captains.
They started to panic and rushed towards the command room. They decided that no matter what the cost, even if everyone died, they must stop Lu Suo!
Zhang Long was first, followed by Liu Neng. Fourteen people rushed into the command room in no particular order, making the temporary door wall creak loudly.
"Lu Suo, you must not."
"Lu Suo, me"
"land?."
Everyone was so crowded that they started to persuade him before they could even see Lu Yongyi clearly. But when they stood still and saw clearly what Lu Yongyi looked like now.
Everyone was stunned?!
???
What the fuck??
Is he laughing maniacally?
Sitting in the center of the command room, Lu Yongyi, who had bravely sacrificed his life before, actually had an unrepressed smile on his face.
His gaze lost focus as he stared ahead, apparently using the game panel.
Different from the previous temperament of his old age when he was willing to die generously, at this time, the vigorous vitality in his body actually radiated out again.
Even this smile seems to come from the heart of happiness!
"Wait a minute, Lu Suo won't be stunned by Ying Tianlong's anger, right?"
"I think it's true that Lu Suo has been very strong all his life, and being humiliated like this by Ying Tianlong must be..."
"Damn it, Lu is chatting and trolling people in the area. He trolls so fast!"
"What?!"
Seeing everyone coming in, Lu Yongyi was still busy using the panel. The captain standing in the command room immediately became curious.
The next second, listening to Liu Neng's exclamation, the remaining people summoned the game almost at the same time and entered the area to chat.
Different from the previous rapid screen refresh, because of Lu Yongyi's speech, other survivors in the area stopped after seeing it.
As a result, on the panel at this time, he could only be seen furiously exchanging messages with Ying Tianlong, scrolling down the messages.
[Lu Yongyi: Bastard Ying Tianlong, aren't you afraid that the aliens will kill you and kill the donkey? Without us, you won't be afraid that they will sink you, a eunuch who cannot distinguish between humans and animals, into the bottom of the sea in the next second.
?】
[Ying Tianlong: Lu Gou, you should worry about whether you can see the sun tomorrow. Even if I die, I will die later than you, the dog. Very good. You want the boat but not the people, right? From now on
,I..】
[Lu Yongyi: Shut your mouth. Who said that I, Lu Yongyi, want the ship but not the people? Do you know how much manpower, material, and mental effort it takes for us to have a ship, just for a thousand people? Also, you want the tundra?
No., you want my head, Lu Yongyi? Do you think I’m a fool?]
[Lu Yongyi: If you want to exchange, please show some sincerity. I will tell you a number now, one ship... 3,000 people. If you agree to start the exchange immediately! 】
[Ying Tianlong: 3,000 people, do you think I’m a fool? 1,200 people at most!]
[Lu Yongyi: There are 1,200 people in a small boat, or 1,200 people in a big boat. I gave you the boat, where do you want our people to sit?]
[Ying Tianlong: 1200 for a small boat and 1500 for a large boat. Do you want to change? 】
Seeing the increasingly bizarre bargaining in the area chat, all the captains secretly swallowed their saliva.
At this moment, they seemed to understand where the smile on Lu Yongyi's face came from.
In a sense, Ying Tianlong is indeed a cub, but in a sense, this time, he.
Saved everyone!
Good guy, Lu Suo, you are worthy of being called upon.
