Ye Qing smiled and narrowed his eyes. He liked it very much. In his previous life, there were more and more real people in his later life. He often led his team to join such large real people groups to participate in big battles. He was one of them then, and now he is the coach.
In this battle with King Qing's army heading north, Qianqian, Jingyuhenyun, and Fire Thunder could not be used. Ye Qing still had confidence and some expectations in his heart - it was precisely because the Immortal could not participate, it was the test of this army.
Strength.
This is different from Earth. The principle of social production is the same. The overall productivity is used to support a small army. On Earth, it is supported by various heavy weapons, but here it is the core of a thousand real people.
The Chaos Five Elements Thunder Formation they jointly used was simply the heavy artillery of the Earth Army Group, or the precision bombing of missiles. It had already shown its power in the previous war to destroy the alien city-states, but the luster was obscured by Qianqian, but this moment was their stage.
.
Only after it has been tested that it can adapt to the battle for the dragon, can Ye Qing place greater hopes on it, cooperate with the mobile deployment of the fleet, and cultivate it into a ground support, a mainstay for the battle in the outer domain, and even the cornerstone of the Immortal Force in the future.
The foreign city-states and the Qing princes are just a grindstone for it.
...Zhou's bell rang for a while and came back: "I guess it will take a while to break..."
Ye Qing smiled and said: "Tude is a good man, and the Cai Dynasty is rich in the world, so he is not short of money."
There was still a hint of envy in his words, and the general nodded: "Cai Chao's tortoise shell is really hard."
If the Zhenren Regiment's sudden attack could penetrate the ordinary formation, it would basically collapse and be slaughtered by the Han army. However, the Huanglong Formation is the best defensive formation in the world. It is said that the formation is unbreakable because of the continuous spiritual stones.
This formation is based on the principle of thick soil sedimentation and solidification. Each location shares the overall defense while bearing its own losses. To penetrate one area is to dig a well on the ground. The tunneling effect can penetrate a small area nearby... But who can
Sink the entire land? If you don’t have this kind of crushing force, just dig a well slowly.
"This kind of Yellow Dragon Formation is also known as the Spiritual Stone Devouring Formation. It is a style of play that only the imperial court can afford. After we colonized the Eastern Wasteland, we harvested abundant resources, but as the stall expanded, there were more uses, so we could only follow the path of the real group...
…This is the only way to ascend to immortality, and we are determined to become an immortal."
Ye Qing encouraged the generals and said: "Back then, Qin Lie's 20,000 state troops resisted Zhang Jiao's 400,000 yin soldiers. The force was no less than a thousand real soldiers. They resisted for a quarter of an hour until the spirit stone failed and the Qing County King
These 40,000 imperial troops have been equipped with many real people, and the spiritual stone resources are sufficient. They can still last for a long time. A hard battle is inevitable...
"This is still a field battle, and it will be more difficult to defend in the city. I heard that Princess Ning has been advising the Qing prince to concentrate on defense and fight steadily. It is almost a suggestion to build the city high, store up grain widely, and slowly become king. Unfortunately, it has wavered several times.
Listen but don't use it. If I win this battle, I should award a medal weighing a pound to the venerable Prince."
The generals laughed loudly at these words to ease the pre-war atmosphere: "It's best for the enemy to be like this... to save time and effort."
Guan Yu smiled and stroked his beard: "The king lured the snake out of the cave to avoid the worst attack on the city, but it seems that the field battle is also a bit troublesome. Is there any way, the king, to break the Yellow Dragon Formation?"
"The stupid way is to use up all the spirit stones... The better way is to rely on the number of real people to offset it. As long as the repair speed is faster than the 200 real people on the opposite side, the number of tunnels and wells can become unmanageable." Ye Qing pondered, there is one
The thought flashed past. In fact, magic formations in the world have a big limitation, that is, they can only block spells, but not physical objects. This is a common weakness for basic Taoist soldiers and vehicle-mounted formations...
However, the formation of this elite Turkish-German army is very strict. Even the crossbows and spears are intercepted by real people in mid-air. It is difficult to break the formation, so this so-called weakness does not become a weakness.
In the world of Immortal Dao, where power is respected, there are always some obstacles that cannot be overcome with skills. Fortunately, he was ready to demolish it: "Let the real group continue to bombard this earth formation. As long as the hoe is good, any wall can be dug down. We Han
The army has a fine tradition of civil engineering, and what it loves most is the work of digging the earth, which is just...a bit of a hardship."
"Fortunately, it's okay to be miserable. I'm just afraid that I don't have enough time. I'll probably have to fight for a whole day..."
"The Zhenzhen group has been entangled, Lu Xun's troops are fine..."
"Let's go to that hillside to rest for a while and launch support..." The generals discussed and further adjusted their expectations and plans for this big battle based on the current situation.
Ye Qing handed over all the details of the battle formation to his subordinates, and he only listened quietly, occasionally raising his head to look at the sky.
The setting sun is setting in the west, the sunset is shining brightly, the moon is rising in the east, winter night is about to fall, and the north wind is blowing high, it is the time to kill.
The voices of some grassroots captains came from the wind: "Reform the team, and return to the team as soon as possible."
"I've sent you some food, hurry up and eat some..."
"Tie up the luminous armband... so that your own people won't greet you during a night battle..."
"Pee on the spot when you rest on the hillside later... Afraid of freezing? Keep your thing away from the wind..."
Such detailed battlefield regulations were reiterated over and over again, like some kind of hypnotic effect. The bloody experiences of life and death in the past battlefields were with them, giving people the desire to survive. The Taoist soldiers who were originally a little excited calmed down and marched in an orderly manner at a normal marching speed.
, the back is straight, the shoulders are drawn in and the legs are stretched, and the steps appear brisk and effortless.
Ye Qing did not rush. Qi Dzogchen's body has sufficient energy storage. As long as it is not a high-intensity rapid march, the physical strength will not be too serious. He must maintain his physical strength for the fierce battle ahead. Qin Lie has the experience of fighting against the Turkish and German troops.
Once, it was almost impossible to defeat them quickly. Even when they were chasing people to the north, they had to fight for endurance all the way... The hard-working Han soldiers did not lose in this regard.
This is like a long-distance race for survival. This time the Han army must defeat the enemy in what it is best at in order to win the most valuable victory with the least sacrifice.
They reached the back of the hillside in two-quarters of an hour. The setting sun was dipping down, the black stars illuminated the earth with dim red light, blood solidified on the glacier, and the evening wind whistled in the forest, a mournful song.
The Yellow Dragon Flag was still flying on the battlefield, and the Taoist soldiers were still fighting bravely, but the dark clouds overhead once again revealed the light of thunder, and the rolling thunder rolled through the clouds.
The Yellow Dragon Formation has collapsed in seven corners and has been replenished seven times. Fortunately, thanks to the special structure of the Earth Vein Array and enough spiritual stones to repair it, it relies on the two hundred real people and the abundant spiritual stones of the formation to fight against the opponent's thousand real people's spiritual pool.
The cost of fighting seems to be about the same.
The difference is that the regeneration cycle of spiritual stones in the spiritual veins is very long, so it can be said to be a one-time resource, while the real spirit pool is a sustainable resource that gathers itself. If this kind of competition continues to be a stalemate, it will be a loss and a meaningless thing.
"A group of one thousand real men..." Prince Qing made a groan-like sound.
What he didn't know was that one-third of the group of real people were Yinshen, and now was the night when the Yinshen were invincible.
Regarding the number of one thousand alone, all the generals in the Cai Dynasty's main formation were silent. Everyone knew the firepower behind this number - they had heard that Zhang Jiao's 400,000 Yin soldiers were wreaking havoc on the grassland, and the King of Wei sent a regiment of 3,000 real men southward, known as the Three Thousand
, in fact, excluding the golden tent for defense, there were only two thousand, but Zhang Jiao's Yin soldiers were frightened and fled south. One thousand had already exceeded a certain critical line... Any more, and four hundred thousand would not be enough to kill.
The Han State is not as strong as the Wei State, but it now seems to have joined the ranks of great powers. The previous inferences made by the princes and counties cannot be said to be nonsense. The basic strategy of attacking the enemy is correct. Many detailed errors can be corrected with strong resource reserves.
make up.
But the most fatal point is that he misjudged Ye Qing's strength. Even the central army of the imperial court could not take action at will with the power of such a large vassal state. Just like when he held the previous King of Chu and fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty, he had to fight.
Determination can only be dealt with at a high cost.
"Withdraw."
The King of Qing County waved his hand tiredly. He originally had abundant spiritual stone reserves and captured the spiritual stones from the foreign city-state alliance. It would be no problem to spend a whole day fighting for it. The two hundred real people and the Huanglong Formation were enough to defend, but they could only defend but not attack.
It is impossible to defeat a thousand real men, which means that the Northern Expedition has lost its strategic significance.
The enemy may have more hidden backhand than this, and he must consider bringing back this main force in its entirety.
"The forwards withdrew to rest, took the opportunity to collect the people on the hillside, and retreat in an orderly manner...Stabilize the military morale and don't let the enemy notice it..."
Not long after, as the front army withdrew and moved to the rear, and the rear to the front, the shrinking military spirit could no longer be concealed, the whimpering of the retreat horns of the Chinese army, the sound of the enemy's attack drums, the shouts of men and horses, and the whistling of arrows.
The noisy mix played the prelude to this great retreat and great pursuit.
The sky turned dark for a moment, and danger lurked in every dark corner of the dense forest. The ice surface was pale and reflected the cold moonlight. Arrows were smashed and ice shards crushed by horses' hooves were scattered. The soldiers staggered, their expressions were tense and depressed, and their armors were
The flags and banners also dimmed in the night.
In the Taoist war, only Daoyu can fight against Daoyu. There will be almost no large proportion of casualties before the formation is broken. The Huanglong formation is still solid and has a rich reserve of spiritual stones. Cai's army has only suffered losses of more than two thousand people in the fierce battle for a long time.
He was injured a lot, but he recovered under the treatment of the magicians.
However, the prolonged battle had a huge impact on morale. At this time, nearly 40,000 people were on the uneven ice and river beaches, and like dark shadows cast by clouds in the night sky, they slowly moved southward. The scale of the retreat was very large.
Wu Yaya couldn't even see his face.
In addition to a layer of orange-yellow light film on top of them, there is also a dark cloud cover, with lightning flashing, and large thunderstorms are coming down every few minutes. For the entire huge formation, it is like bamboo poles hitting jujube, crackling... boom, strike
A corner of the broken formation.
Later, the long-range spells of the Han military magician group fell on this crystal film. The military magician Cai quickly raised a small magic barrier to block the damage in the area, but along with the rain of arrows like a rainstorm, the arrowheads were chipped away.
The spell blessing could not reduce the pure kinetic energy damage, so the soldiers could only hold up their shields or use armored helmets to top it up. From time to time, pained groans could be heard.
There were also strings mounted to counterattack the Han army behind them, but the scattered arrow formations could hardly cause effective damage, and except for the unlucky group that broke off the rear, Cai Jun's officers and men were almost unwilling to look back.
The Han army that was following and attacking was larger than them, and it was still coming on the hilly ridgeline. The glow of the Five Elements Chaos Yuan Fei Formation was beautifully reflected in the northern night sky, like the Northern Lights deeper in the legendary white ice field, dreamy and hazy.
