Chapter 870: Evolution of Tactics

In the Qi Kingdom of Nanzhou, north of Baiyu City, in the huge school field, 10,000 troops are exercising, different from the past, although these 10,000 people are in a formation, it is not any battle formation in the immortal cultivation world, but a new combat method.

The battle array in the immortal cultivation world has a history of millions of years, and it existed before the birth of the Blue Emperor, and the appearance of the battle array at that time was mainly due to the lack of high-level monks of the human race, and it was necessary to condense the strength of many low-level monks, fuse them into one, and compete with the high-level demon king, which was obtained.

Therefore, the characteristic of the battle formation is that all the monks need to advance and retreat together, uniformly, and evenly input the Xuan Qi into the array flag in their hands, and then use the formation as a link to concentrate everyone's Xuan Qi to one point, and the strength will skyrocket.

The effect of this battle formation is excellent, but the weakness is also extremely obvious, as long as there is a small range of fluctuations, the entire battle array will not work well, resulting in collapse, and in the end it can only melee with the demon clan, the demon clan also takes advantage of this weakness, repeatedly disrupting the battle formation of the Nanzhou monks, and then using the worthless lives of the low-level demon beasts of the demon clan, in exchange for the lives of the human monks, causing great damage to the human race.

Therefore, the traditional battle formation method, both sides are extremely familiar, after all, it has lasted for millions of years, and in the previous battle of more than a year, the human race did not take too much advantage of the battle formation, which made Lin Xiao determined to reform and evolve a new method of battle.

Lin Xiao thought about it, and finally decided to use the military formation tactics of his previous life, the world of Lin Xiao's previous life did not have the world of cultivating immortals, and there were no various spells and martial arts, but there were more wars between mortals than in this world, and the tactics of the cold weapon era had been carried forward to the peak.

This method of warfare is to rely on the cooperation of different arms to organize formations, such as pikemen, crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, etc., to form a formation and rely on each other's strategies to kill the enemy.

Of course, this kind of tactics also exists in this world, but this world is mainly conducted in squad mode, and twenty or thirty people are too many, let alone tens of thousands.

This kind of battle method is of no use to the high-level demon king, because the attack power is too low, and the attack power of the Zifu level to fight the seventh-order demon king, there is not much difference between fighting ten thousand times and once, but for low-level demon beasts, this formation is enough to slaughter them.

The most important point is that this formation is not afraid of chaos, unless a battle formation is less than two or three percent of the people, otherwise it will never collapse, unlike the previous battle formation, as long as the monk's movements are chaotic, it will be considered a collapse.

Of course, this kind of tactic is not recognized by everyone, and many high-level officials in Nanzhou do not recognize this tactic, thinking that this tactic is too child's play, and the weakness is very prominent, that is, the ability to defend against high-level demon kings is insufficient, and their protective ability is limited to cultivation itself.

Therefore, there are many opponents, and Lin Xiao didn't expect that the tens of millions of people in the Nanzhou army would all be this kind of combat method, so he retreated to the second, as long as 10,000 people practiced with the new combat method, they had to wait for the battlefield to test it, and then decide whether to promote it after seeing the results.

At this time, these 10,000 people have been practicing for three months, and various formation changes have been extremely proficient, Lin Xiao decided to send them to the battlefield to give it a try, and the leader of these 10,000 people is Lin Xiao's registered disciple Bu Yunshuang, not that Lin Xiao doesn't want to mobilize high-level monks to go, but he can't, once the Divine Void Period monks go, they will definitely attract high-level demon kings, and then they will kill these 10,000 people.

"Alliance leader, the formation drill is complete, please instruct"

"Don't be nervous, Yunshuang, you have been practicing for more than three months, I believe in your efforts, perform well tomorrow, if this tactic is newly promoted, the position of commander is yours"

"Yes, Alliance"

Bu Yunshuang replied loudly, Lin Xiao has been cultivating him during the Zhongzhou War, giving him all kinds of opportunities, and now he is ready to let him lead the army, this is to cultivate him as a talent who is in charge of his own affairs, Bu Yunshuang is naturally overjoyed.

Nowadays, there are not many talents under Lin Xiao's command, Li Muxue is counted as one, Ye Nanyu is counted as one, Bai Zichen is counted as one, and then Bai Zichen has to be counted next, even Jia Mengran They are not counted, they can be generals, but not enough to be handsome, Lin Xiao has a lot of generals, but there are not many handsome, among the later disciples, there is only Bu Yunshuang who has been trained like this for the time being.

Early in the morning of the second day, the demon clan attacked again, thanks to Li Muxue's work breakthrough, Zhongzhou came to the support of sects such as Ziyunguan, and the number of high-level monks increased, and Lin Xiao did not have to fight again and again, he could sit in the central command.

You must know that it is extremely dangerous for Lin Xiao to go to war, he is now the co-leader of the Nanzhou monks, and he is also the spiritual pillar, once he falls, the entire Nanzhou will collapse, so Lin Xiao does not dare to fight at will.

The battle line of Baiyucheng has been stalemate for several months, most of the peripheral positions have been lost, every time the demon clan comes to attack, the human race will send a battle formation to meet it, and the Qi national front alone will dispatch millions of people every time, and the ten thousand people of Bu Yunshuang are not outstanding at all.

Bu Yunshuang led the team to be sandwiched between the two battle formations, as a cover, and soon rushed to the battlefield, and then Bu Yunshuang ordered to form a formation, there were 3,000 shield soldiers among the 10,000 people under his command, and the shield held by the three thousand monks was not the kind of small shield of the personal shield, but a giant shield three meters high, two meters wide, and twenty centimeters thick, each shield weighed tens of thousands of catties, and the shield monks were all a body of water, and only they could afford this kind of giant shield.

The three thousand shield-wielding monks leaned on each other to form a huge circle, and in the middle of each shield there would be a fist-sized semicircular notch, and the two shields together would form a circle, and then three thousand long, the spearmen would stick their spears close to five meters in their hands through these gaps, diagonally upward.

Behind the pikemen, there are two thousand fighting soldiers, lined up in turn, behind the fighting soldiers, there are 1,800 archers, behind the archers, there are two hundred, these two hundred people have special drummers and trumpeters, who command the operation of the formation with drums and trumpets, and there is also a fifth-order god-destroying crossbow, which is used to snipe the opponent's fifth-order demon king, as for the high-level demon kings above the sixth order, it is not within the predicted range of this battle array.

10,000 people practiced for more than three months, the battle array changed and ripened, and the formation was completed in a moment, and at this time, the surrounding battle array was also with the demon ** hand, the demon clan was still the same, with tens of thousands of demon beasts as the vanguard, forming a straggler line, charging towards the monk battle array, these tens of thousands of demon beasts are cannon fodder, with great casualties, suffered several rounds of blows from the battle array, more than half of the dead and wounded, and then rushed into the battle array, the battle array was disrupted, and then a large number of demon beasts followed, and carried out a thorough melee.

In the melee, the advantage of the human race is also greater than that of the demon race, and the casualty rate is much lower, but for the demon race, the low-level demon beasts are all cannon fodder, it doesn't matter, and the low-level demon beasts don't understand what the casualty rate is, no matter how many casualties there are, as long as the high-level demon king or the intelligent demon beast does not give an order, they will continue to fight, and the human race will not be able to do it, once the casualties are too large, the morale will be reduced, and the commander of the human race will order the withdrawal of troops and conduct a round battle.

As soon as the surrounding battle array collapsed, the demon beasts poured in, and the battle array of Buyunshuang also began to fight with the demon **, but the first thing the demon beast wanted to break through was this five-meter spear, a large reindeer charged, and before he could rush to the spear, he was knocked down by the archers in the rear.

Soon, the intelligent demon beasts hidden among the ordinary demon beasts discovered the existence of this battle array, and hundreds of demon beasts rushed wildly, and the pikemen drew the five-meter spears in their hands, stabbing those demon beasts to death in front of the formation.

"Old Ancestor Xu, Old Ancestor Wu, you lead the team to disperse, let me accept the demon beast charge"

The combat exploits of hundreds of demon beasts could not show the power of this battle formation at all, Bu Yunshuang immediately sent a message to the two Lingguang ancestors around him, their battle formation was originally to cover Bu Yunshuang, and he also knew Bu Yunshuang's mission this time, so he immediately led the men and horses to spread out to both sides, completely exposing Bu Yunshuang's battle formation in front of the demon beasts.

The demon beasts of the Zhi clan didn't know the details, they only knew that the opportunity was coming, and immediately tens of thousands of demon beasts rushed over to the battle array.

"The demon beast is coming, the archers turn their faces, to the east, three hundred and one rows, put"

Bu Yunshuang saw tens of thousands of demon beasts rushing from the east, and immediately mobilized the archers to carry out long-range strikes, three hundred people stood in a row, a total of six rows, with the technique of three strikes, constantly releasing arrows, forming a continuous firepower output, and the demon beasts in the front row continued to kill.

"Melee team step forward, Spirit Rune, up"

When the demon beast entered a distance of fifty meters, the melee team stepped forward, and each of them took out a spirit rune, stimulated it, and then went out, and there was another burst of indiscriminate bombardment.

When the demon beast rushed to a distance of four or five meters, the spear team struck, the gun came out like a dragon, and it kept pumping, and some of the demon beasts that barely rushed to the point were stabbed to death in front of the formation.

However, there were still demon beasts that maintained a strong inertia and smashed on the giant shield, and the monk behind the giant shield exerted all his strength to stabilize the giant shield and block the impact of the demon beast.

"The boar demon is out, the test is coming, and the shield hand is resisting."

The first wave of demon beasts was consumed before they rushed to the front of the formation, and in the back, thousands of huge boar monsters rushed in, they carried several rounds of blows, and hit the giant shield, and even the human shield was knocked away, and there was a gap in the outer defense.

However, what shocked the Zhi Demon Beast was that this battle array did not collapse, according to past experience, once there was such a fluctuation, the battle array would collapse on its own, and then the monk scattered and took the enemy on his own.

Hundreds of wild boar demon beasts rushed into the formation, and the surrounding shield hands quickly moved the giant shield and closed it together again, while the two thousand people in the battle team rushed up and fought with these wild boar demons.

A quarter of an hour later, the wild boar demon who entered the battle was killed, Bu Yunshuang immediately ordered, let the shield hand open his mouth, the attacking demon beast was unknown, rushed in, and when the number was almost the same, Bu Yunshuang ordered to close again, the melee team stepped forward again, among the archers, a group of the best archery began to shoot the demon beasts in the array, and most of the rest continued to shoot arrows outside the formation to reduce the pressure on the shield hand and the spear team.

At this moment, these 10,000 people have become a meat grinder on the battlefield, grinding the demon beasts to death here little by little, Bu Yunshuang has been observing the changes and casualties around him, in just one hour, the battle array is covered with all kinds of demon beasts, piled up, and even has a great impact on the fight.

"The battle is up, turn"

Bu Yunshuang shouted angrily, all the shield hands gritted their teeth and picked up the giant shield, and began to rotate in a circle, the spear in the gap of the shield cut the skin and flesh of countless demon beasts, and when the battle array moved hundreds of meters, and reached a relatively flat place, Bu Yunshuang ordered to stop and fight again.
