Chapter 719: Specialization
October 15th is undoubtedly a dark day for the entire Great Song Dynasty.
The confidence of the Northwest Army to fight is, of course, not from the reinforcements of Shudi. In the face of the main force of Gumeng, the swordsman Xie Haoran still defeated the enemy repeatedly, maintaining the battle line from Xuchang to Linyi, although he did not regain the lost territory, but when Xinlan's research was successful, they counterattacked Gumeng.
However, on this day, Xie Haoran fell, the battle line could no longer be maintained, and the south of the Yangtze River was likely to be attacked by Gumeng...... This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and the morale of the Northwest Army fell all at once.
It is no secret that Luoyang has become uncontactable, and now the battle line cannot be maintained, and in time, the enemy will break through Hangu Pass and attack Tongguan on both sides, and they will no longer be able to hold out in the northwest.
Of course, even without this "if", their current situation is already precarious, this month, the Xiongnu have successfully forced a part of the people to carry out production activities for them, they tried to break through the city several times and failed, Mo Zihuo Changsheng and other few powerful generals, at first produced certain results, but with the enemy's great shaman out of the mountain, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
First of all, Huo Changsheng and Ye Soviet Army, who performed the most brilliantly, relieved the siege of Chencang shortly after leaving Tianshui, but on their way to Chang'an, they were attacked by a cosmic knight who fell from the sky.
It stands to reason that when Ban Chao and Chen Tang are all recovered, it will be easy for Huo Changshengjun to defeat a cosmic knight, but this cosmic knight is not followed by an ordinary shaman, but a great shaman "empty death".
"Life and death, reincarnation is not endless, we are alive, you are dead!"
Empty death opened his hand and the black gas poured out of the sky, where the black gas passed, the flowers and plants withered, and the creatures aged, this was one of the secret methods that he had lived for so long, stealing the sky and changing the day.
The reason why it is called a secret method is because he does not intend to let this skill be recognized by the system as a special skill, but now that the rational part of him has become the exclusive system of the Huns, he no longer has to worry about this. It can be said that he wants to use the fame of this battle to sublimate his secret method into a stunt.
His sudden hand did achieve great results at the beginning, and the soldiers in the front row were instantly hit, but then Ye Su cast a spell to block a skill.
"It goes on and on. ”
Don't think that Ye Su is an expert in the opposite position, or that sentence, this kind of method of stealing life and continuing life, the Bright Sect has already tried it, but this life stealing is a bottomless pit, the longer you live, the more vitality you need to steal, one person is okay, but the Bright Sect is an organization...... If there is a big move, the world will definitely sanction it, so they will abandon this path.
But the empty death is only a person, so he not only studied it deeply, but also developed another method of hiding called "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea".
You may think that these skills are familiar with the names, how can there be no special effects...... As everyone knows, what the void wants is to be dark under the lamp, use the same name as a cover-up, and actually betray the system.
As for now, he is in an independent Hun system, and the effects of the stunts in this system are not the same as those of the external system, which is very reasonable.
Speaking of Ye Su's secret technique, since he could see through the opponent's magic at a glance, he certainly wouldn't think of using a similar technique to fight hard, so he used the life magic with a restraining effect to fight, but in this way, it became a magic duel, and in the army, it was a duel of forces, and he undoubtedly fell behind.
Of course, Huo Changsheng and the others would not sit idly by, the gap in magic power caused by the gap in strength could be made up by fighting, and they immediately launched an attack, but how could the energy of empty death not be able to control this small scene.
"Against the sky. ”
The time and place are favorable, it has always been the weight of battle, and the empty death who has been avoiding the tracking of the world all the year round has long known how to rebel against the advantages of heaven and earth.
"Don't panic, I have a solution. ”
Huo Changsheng immediately opened his left hand and performed side effects to "break the evil".
Break all curses...... It is only the superficial ability to destroy evil, and its deeper power is to destroy everything that gets in your way.
If Xie Haoran's true intention to reach the extreme is offensive obstacle avoidance, then Huo Changsheng's side effect is defensive, and at this time, it is the moment when this ability comes into play......
"No, Changsheng, let's retreat!"
Although Huo Changsheng has the corresponding enlightenment, people do not live alone in the world, he cannot be as independent as Xie Haoran, but then again, Xie Haoran cannot completely ignore others.
So they retreated, and this defeat also made the Hun system certify the skill of empty death, of course, the essence of this system is another him, so how many backdoors are opened, and how much additional increase is given to this skill, it is self-evident...... The only thing that can be confirmed is that after this battle, the air death has become more difficult to deal with, and the situation in the northwest has taken a sharp turn for the worse as he moves around.
By the day of Xie Haoran's fall, the Xiongnu universe knights had been re-replenished to thirty-six people, and there were more than one hundred intern knights.
The Great Song Dynasty, which still preserves several cities, is like a few pieces of cheese that have fallen into an ant colony, densely surrounded, gnawed, and eaten by black spots......
It's just that there is not all hope, and the troops from the south are silently bringing them the dawn of hope.
……
The first battle between Jiang Ai and Zhao Chong out of Shu did not take place in the northwest as they thought.
Yangping Pass could not be attacked for a long time, and the Huns had long had the idea of making a detour, but there was a successful example of the last time, Shu and the northwest have strengthened the defense of Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain.
One of the reasons why Xiongguan is still difficult to attack is that the deep mountains are more difficult to walk, and there is no need to invest too many troops. It would be even better if there was a large array or magic cannon in the mountains, and even the strong would have to be knocked down. And the energy problem can still be mobilized by the power of the mountains themselves, and human beings only have the magic of guidance.
With this advantage, the Huns' plan to climb the mountain failed many times, but with the ability of the shaman, a small number of troops still crossed over.
Since it was a sub-regional centralized training, Jiang Ai and Zhao Chong went out of Shu to take the volunteers at the Sword Pavilion first, so when they arrived there, they had already heard that the volunteers had clashed with the enemy.
And the result is ...... It's not great.
The training method of Shu is a secret, but it is actually not a secret, and it can be guessed from the way Liu Tian divided the army.
To take shape in an ordinary army, soldiers must learn a series of military magic such as attack, defense, and stealth, to put it simply, the army in peacetime is divided into land, sea and air, and the army may be divided into cavalry, archers, and infantry. Subdivided, it is the business of some generals with personal characteristics.
It's just that although the soldiers trained in this way are widely used, it will take more than half a year to form combat effectiveness, and the Great Song Dynasty can't wait, and Shu Di doesn't want to wait, so their method is to subdivide.
In addition to the need to learn on the march, some soldiers only learn attack magic, and some soldiers only learn defense magic...... If you think that's all there is to it, you're wrong.
The fact is that archers are divided into short-range, medium-range, long-range, low-altitude, medium-altitude, high-altitude, harassment......
Cavalry is divided into light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and flying cavalry......
Infantry......
Subdivided into each unit, only need to learn one subject, and then subdivide it into offensive and defensive specializations, so that they can become an army in two months and go to the battlefield.
Of course, the troops that can only attack have little defense, and once they are hit directly, they will be finished. And not all defensive soldiers can defend, some can only block long-range, and some specialize in short-range confrontation and grappling, the former is like an attacking force when encountering short-range is chopped vegetables, and the latter is also finished at once when encountering long-range bombardment.
It's just that Jiang Ai has seriously explained these to the people as early as when he was recruited, and it also explains the danger, but the people are more concerned about their grasp.
Yes, even with such a big flaw, such a force has an advantage, and the key is the ability of the generals, as well as the ability to adapt to the professional combat methods of this new era.
"So it's up to us next. ”
Jiang Ai stood on the city tower, looking at the Hun army outside who didn't know where to hide, preparing to launch the first battle for the purpose of gaining valuable experience.
