The smell of blood filled every corner of the palace.
This most noble place in the world has just experienced a baptism of blood not long ago, and now it is experiencing a second one.
"how so?"
Yu Wenzhi and his pupils shrank.
"Who is the commander of the other party?"
The advantage that Wagang Army had established before had been eliminated by him long ago.
The current strength of both sides is about four thousand, and there is not much difference in strength.
Under such circumstances, they have a geographical advantage.
Both he, the commander, and the palace guards are extremely familiar with the terrain of the palace.
The right time, right place, and right people.
Among the three major combat factors, they have an advantage in geographical location, and the balance of victory should be in their favor.
Under the command of Yuwen Zhiji, this was indeed the case at the beginning.
Yuwen Zhiji could see that the opposing commander was resisting desperately and using all his knowledge, but under his command, the Wagang Army was still defeated steadily by him.
Seeing that as long as he exerted more force, the Wagang Army could be beaten out, the Wagang Army suddenly began to change their formation.
This change of formation is different from before. The Wagang Army has also changed its formation before, but it was all in the details, and the changes were not major.
This is also the most commonly used and on-the-spot command that most tests the commander's wisdom in this kind of battle.
Yuwen Zhiji also saw from the subtle changes in the previous formation that the commander of the Wagang Army who faced him was not a simple figure.
The other party's military command talents are probably not weaker than his!
But this is of no use.
With the military capabilities of both sides being equal, Yuwen Zhiji, who had a geographical advantage, used his own advantage very smartly and continued to expand it.
Xu Xingzhi's several changes of formation could not restore his own decline.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the change this time is no longer a subtle change, but a large-scale change!
When he saw the opponent using such a large-scale change of formation, Yuwen Zhiji laughed on the spot.
In war, the most taboo thing is to make such a large-scale change of formation!
There are three reasons.
First, this kind of formation change tests the adaptability of the lower-level soldiers too much. Without years of practice, such a large-scale formation change on the battlefield is almost the same as seeking death.
Second, this kind of formation change is prone to flaws. Once caught by the opposing commander, a fierce blow may completely determine the outcome of the war.
Third, most of these changes are improvised. Before the war begins, there is often a fixed framework and the tactics to be used have already been thought out. At most, they are constantly carried out according to the different on-site conditions.
Just fine-tuning.
How many improvised tactics like this actually work?
Based on the above three reasons, large-scale formation changes are often used when there is no other way out.
Faced with such a thing, how could Yuwen Zhiji be unhappy?
Originally, in his opinion, even if he had the advantage, it would not be an easy task to defeat the Wagang Army, and there would probably be huge losses.
This change of formation by Xu Xingzhi is simply creating a good opportunity for him!
While the Wagang army changed its formation, Yuwen Zhiji seized a few small flaws and brutally killed many Wagang soldiers!
Let their advantages be further expanded.
But what Yuwen Zhiji didn't expect was that he didn't find a big flaw.
"It seems that the Wagang Army has been practicing this change of formation frequently. This change of formation is indeed extraordinary!"
Yuwen Zhiji felt very sad.
If he catches a big flaw, maybe he can even lead away the invading Wagang Army in a wave!
That’s a big victory!
"But it doesn't matter. Our advantage has been greatly increased. It will be easy to defeat the Wagang Army!"
With this confidence, Yuwen Zhiji continued to command his soldiers to fight.
But as he continued to fight, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Why are more of my people starting to die?"
Yuwen Zhiji was shocked.
He occupies a geographical advantage!
Coupled with some of the advantages they just gained, shouldn't they just attack the Wagang Army in one go?
"It's a blind spot! The other party's commander took advantage of the blind spot in the palace!"
Yuwen Zhiji was indeed a first-class military commander, and he quickly discovered the problem.
Through this major change in formation, the Wagang Army occupied many blind spots and changed from offense to defensive counterattack.
This suddenly eliminated the geographical advantage of the palace guards, because the Wagang army stopped attacking.
The palace guards became a little arrogant because of their previous advantage, and suddenly rushed towards the Wagang Army.
However, the Wagang troops who occupied a blind spot faced fewer enemies within the same range. After a series of simple and subtle adjustments, they actually formed a situation of using more to fight against fewer.
Under such circumstances, the number of palace guards who died naturally increased.
Tell the palace guards to retreat?
Yuwen Zhiji immediately gave up this idea.
Retreating at this time will only give the Wagang army a chance to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
During this process, if you are not careful, the palace guards will suffer great damage.
By then, they might have been taken away by a wave of people!
So you must not retreat!
Yuwen Zhiji turned his head and looked to the side.
"Shiji, Chengdu, invincible, the next step will be left to you! Be sure to penetrate the Wagang Army's defense line!"
"Leave it to us!"
Yuwen Shiji, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi nodded in response.
These three people are the younger generation of masters from the Yuwen Clan. Although they are not as good as Yuwen Wenji, each of them is a top innate master!
The reason why they were not allowed to take action before was firstly because it was not necessary, and secondly it was to guard against the Wagang Army, as they were worried about the other party's plot.
"good!"
Yu Wenzhi and his spirited way.
"I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"
After such a long battle, he had already seen that there were no masters in the Wagang army opposite.
The strongest ones are the masters at the innate level.
"Legend has it that during the previous turmoil, many high-level officials in Wagang Village died, and almost all the masters and top innate masters among them died! Now it seems that what they said is true!"
The fact that Wagang Village could have Shi Zhixuan and Lu Miaozi, two of the top master-level experts at the time, was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations, but the rest did not change much.
At least Yuwen Zhiji did not find any master-level or top-notch innate experts among them.
If the Wagang Army had such a master, they would have taken action long ago. How could they wait until now?
"If you have time, Chengdu and Wudi can completely penetrate the Wagang Army's defense line!"
Defensive counterattack, even the defense line has been broken, what else can you use to counterattack?
