Chapter 468: Variables
Chapter 468
It is impossible for the battle policy that has been set to change because of a little change in the star and moon sundial, Feng Yanzhi still convened the army of the Sea Dragon Clan as scheduled, and set up the formation, except for the old and weak women and children who have no combat effectiveness and the necessary left-behind troops, Feng Yanzhi has gathered an army of 100,000 people, there is a way that there are 10,000 people without a bank, and the army of 100,000 people is deployed in the plain area, and the scale is enough to shock people's hearts and shake their minds, not to mention that the formation of the Sea Dragon Clan is not a plane unfolding, because of the particularity of the sea, 100,000 people are displayed in a three-dimensional structure, so that in it, I only feel that there are endless soldiers of the Sea Dragon Clan in armor in all directions, which makes people feel a little more solemn for no reason.
The march route of the large army according to the expected plan is still heading towards the merman clan, the sea beast moves fast in the sea water, which makes the army quickly enter the neutral zone jointly controlled by the merman and the sea dragon clan, along the way we encountered a lot of scattered merman wandering around, as Feng Yanzhi once said, the reverse evolution of the merman clan now only relies on instinct to act, as soon as they saw such a huge number of troops coming, they immediately fled without a trace in the domination of fear, neither the intention of resistance nor the tendency to pass on the message。
This scene has made my heart settle down a lot, a group of beasts that only rely on instinct to fight are two completely different concepts compared to the combat effectiveness of a well-trained army, if all the mermaids are such stupid existences, then the success rate of our combat operation will be greatly increased, and we can reduce many unnecessary casualties.
Before entering the merman settlement, we began to encounter frequent small groups of shark harassment, although these sharks are not afraid of death, but the huge number difference makes them not even have time to get close to be shot into a sieve by the bow and crossbow of the sea dragon army, and after entering the merman settlement, the situation is different, first the number of sharks began to increase significantly, and then the combat effectiveness of the shark people has also been improved to varying degrees, the low-level sharks who could be killed by two arrows have become a high-level existence with a few arrows and still have the strength to charge, and after we rushed all the way to a third of the place, we finally ushered in the first force of the merman resistance force in 10,000 units。
This merman army brandished the spear drawn from the back and launched a fierce attack on the sea dragon army, only a projection in the face, the sea dragon clan had thousands of sergeants were lifted off their mounts by the spear, of course, the casualties of the merman clan were more heavy than the sea dragon army, the sharks who were lucky enough to escape from the first wave of arrow rain were not happy for long, because the second wave of arrow rain had broken through the water and came to them, with the advantage of long-range attack, the sea dragon army annihilated this merman army with one to ten casualties, and began to move forward, leaving only countless corpses in the water slowly falling deeper, with them sinking together, there is also the prelude to the upcoming war。
As we continue to go deeper, more and more merman troops begin to appear, the Sea Dragon Army can no longer annihilate the opponent at a distance as before, and is forced to enter the grappling stage, I rode on the sea beast and looked at the battlefield, and found that the Sea Dragon Clan's advantage in the grappling is not great, and it is impossible to end the battle in a short period of time, my heart can't help but sink down, and I said to Feng Yanzhi beside me, " Patriarch Feng, don't waste too much time here, the number of mermaids is far superior to ours, if it drags on for a long time, their follow-up troops will continue to come, and then we want to move forward, but it will be difficult to climb to the sky. ”
Feng Yanzhi followed my advice, he decisively ordered to divide the battlefield, in order to escort the large army to continue to advance, our target is the deepest part of the settlement, it is impossible to stop here, dividing the battlefield is the only option, but the disadvantages are also obvious, at this moment we have only reached the position of one-half of the settlement, there is still a long distance from the two-thirds estimated by Feng Yanzhi, if we continue to advance, the battle line will be pulled very long, once the troops in the rear can not resist the rout, the Sea Dragon Army will be intercepted by the mermaid tribe and surrounded by the retreat, and fall into a huge crisis。
The team is moving forward with difficulty, the resistance of the merman clan is stronger than we expected, the only thing to be thankful for is that the merman clan does not have the concept of coordinated combat, our side has been inseparable, and the spies who were released to reconnoiter the movements of the merman outside the battlefield have not reported any abnormal movements, indicating that those mermen who have not been attacked do not intend to come to support here.
This is the animal mind, when you look at the animal world, you should notice that when herbivores are attacked by carnivores, as long as they are not their own race, other animals will even eat grass leisurely not far from the eating lion tiger, the shark people are similar to them, in the shark people's extremely simple heads, they will only react to two situations, one is to be attacked, the other is that the divine soldiers are in danger, and now we are not far from the divine soldiers, and they have not been attacked by us, so they naturally stay in place。
The situation that the merman clan does not support each other is beneficial to us, Feng Yanzhi after discussing with me, sent the reserve team used to guard against the reinforcement of the merman clan to the battlefield, and the addition of the new force has increased the attack power a lot, and the progress of the team has also been accelerated, reaching the position of two-thirds of the settlement in one fell swoop.
This is our expected assault position, I flew out of the Yuge knife and Qingxuan sword, Feng Yanzhi also raised the spear, Nanxian's weapon is a spear, and Yan'an uses a dragon sword, according to our plan, they will escort me to the location of the divine soldier to attack, the remaining one-third of the distance will be more mermaids than the previous ones combined, we must launch a decapitation operation with lightning speed to directly penetrate the divine soldier, in terms of quantity, we are an absolute disadvantage, the only thing we can rely on is the difference in strength between each other, no matter how thick and wide the cotton cloth is, it can't block the penetration of a steel needle, what we have to do, is the steel needle that goes straight into the heart of the shark people.
Tianxuan Dingqian's battle suit appeared, I took the lead in rushing into the merman array, cultivating to only Kaiyuan realm and not using spells of the merman is not my enemy at all, I led Nanxian and Yan'an to advance rapidly in a sharp arrow formation, Feng Yanzhi because of the slightly lower cultivation, was far behind by us, considering that he had little hope of surviving after falling into the siege, we had to slow down to meet him, so that the speed of our progress was inevitably affected, and when we were completely blocked by the dense merman, it was still a fifth of the distance from the location of the divine soldier。
It can be seen that Nanxian has been baptized by the battle array, he is very decisive in killing, I don't know how many mermaids have been killed by a spear, but no matter how brave Nanxian is, it is impossible to kill hundreds of thousands of mermen with his own strength, I waved a purple flame moon blade to force back the merman in front of me, and reluctantly admitted the fact that we can no longer move forward, and it is useless to continue to stay here, I beckoned everyone to start killing back, just when we were about to turn around, Feng Yanzhi suddenly exclaimed, pointing at a merman wearing a coral crown in the shark crowd and shouted at me, "Venerable, that's the patriarch of the merman clan, as long as you kill it, the merman will be scattered!"
I didn't expect that there was still this kind of vitality in the desperate place, the situation in front of me didn't allow me to think about it, I held the Yuge knife in my right hand upside down, and I was about to launch a spatial ability to approach the merman clan lord and forcibly kill it, just at the moment when the space began to distort, the star map of the star and moon dial flashed in my eyes and interrupted my next action, I was shocked, and immediately remembered the ambiguous answer of the star and moon dial to today's battle yesterday, which indicates that there may be a variable in today's battle, and this variable, could it be the merman clan master?
I hesitated again and again, and finally gave the order to retreat, Feng Yanzhi saw that I missed the opportunity, and couldn't help but want to say something to ask, after being glared at by me fiercely, I didn't say anything, the four of us tried our best to kill a bloody way, and retreated into the army of the Sea Dragon Clan, Feng Yanzhi commanded the army and fought and retreated, the Shark Clan did not have the concept of pursuing the enemy, which made the process of our retreat relatively smooth, and did not suffer more serious losses.
After the army returned to the headquarters of the Sea Dragon Clan, as soon as the number of people was counted, the 100,000 army was folded by more than 20,000, and now Feng Yanzhi couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't wait for us to return to the palace, he directly attacked in front of the battle, and asked me why I refused to kill the head of the Shark Clan, so that the Sea Dragon Clan lost troops and returned in vain, I opened my mouth for a while and didn't know how to answer him, I can't say that I can't make up my mind because of the ambiguous answer of the star and moon sundial.
Feng Yanzhi saw that I didn't speak, and thought that I was at a loss, and the persecution between the words was even stronger, which angered Nanxian next to him, and immediately put the spear across and was about to start with Feng Yanzhi, okay, I was going to fight before it was done, I hurriedly stopped Nanxian, and said to Feng Yanzhi in a serious tone, "Patriarch Feng, you calm down for the time being, think about whether what happened just now is really as simple as you said, just kill the head of the merman clan to disperse the merman." ”
"What's there to think about," Feng Yanzhi said unconvinced, "The clan master is the core of a clan, if the clan master dies, the clan will have no reason to fight again, and it will naturally collapse and disperse, just like in the battle array just now, if Feng Mou unfortunately dies, the army of the Sea Dragon Clan will definitely be a mess and be attacked and killed by the Shark Clan at will, isn't this a truth!"
"Definitely," I shook my head. I know very well how important the Patriarch Feng is to the Sea Dragon Clan, but whether the Shark Clan Patriarch is equally important to the Shark Clan, that is up for debate, Patriarch Feng, you think about it, if the Shark Clan Patriarch is so important, then why did he suddenly appear in the Shark Rebellion Army, our position at that time was far away from the Divine Soldiers, as the Shark Clan Patriarch, he should be around the Divine Soldiers to be responsible for the last line of defense, there is no reason to venture into the front-line melee troops, and from the situation at that time, the Shark people did not have the slightest action to protect the Shark Lord, the Shark Clan Patriarch was mixed in the shark crowd, and it was no different from an ordinary Shark at all, not to mention that Patriarch Feng recognized him, even if he didn't recognize him, we all had a high probability of ending his life in the melee, Patriarch Feng, what does this mean?"
