Chapter 068: Living Mouth
Power politics naturally has the benefits of power politics, such as self-confidence.
The Fire Demon didn't think that there was anything great about the Wild Bull Battle Array, these wild people were just the three indiscriminate people who were used to sneak attacks, and they took the lead on the battlefield to make them suffer heavy losses. Once the army has gained a foothold, these wild barbarians will be completely exposed to the army's front and become the soldiers' achievements. In front of the army, the attack intensity of the Brute Bull Battle Formation was not worth mentioning at all.
The circular formation is just the most superficial formation of the army, and this is the basic battle formation of the army's training, just like the phalanx.
But in the same way, the circle formation also has its special advantages, the defense is tight, and the defense in all directions is balanced, making it difficult for the opponent to break through. Of course, the disadvantages of the basic battle formation are also obvious, the circle formation is difficult to move in battle, or the movement speed is slow, and it can only be passively beaten on the battlefield. Not to mention the pursuit of the enemy army, being able to maintain half the normal marching speed is already an excellent performance of a general and an excellent soldier.
Fortunately, the performance of the Wild Bull Battle Formation seems to impact the round formation......
This makes the fire demon people excited, and they can finally teach each other a lesson.
But will Litton let Yanlong get his wish? It's simply impossible, in his opinion, how can he do without heavy cavalry? Even if there is no heavy cavalry, what about the heavy infantry? None of these brutes are there. Since there is none, simply ignore the other party. The battle array bypassed the circle formation of the fire demons, and under the surprised gaze of the other party, it crossed a circular arc on the battlefield.
Then, under the bewildered gaze of hundreds of fire demons, they broke away from the combat area where each other's weapons were in contact, and their target was not the fire demon at all, nor the fire dragon, but the goshawk traitor.
When the sneak attack was launched, the traitor of the goshawk tribe hesitated for a moment, and was excluded from the group of fire demons, which made him more than a hundred steps away from the middle of the fire demon battle array.
This distance can be reached in a few breaths in ordinary times, but on the battlefield, the sword is like a forest, especially the circle of fire demons, it is impossible to accept him.
This is not alarmism, but the iron law of the battlefield. Because if you want to accept this guide who leads the way to the fire demon, the circle must have a gap to connect it. What if the Wild Bull Battle Formation takes advantage of this opportunity to follow closely? This is a flaw, although it is only a few breaths of time between the lightning and flint, but as long as it takes such a little time, the entire battle array will be torn apart. Of course, the [Sancai Array] is not without flaws, the biggest flaw of the offensive and defensive battle formation is that the attack power is insufficient, and the defense power is also insufficient, it can only be said that it is acceptable, and it cannot be compared with the pure attack formation and the pure defense formation. Everything is mutually reinforcing, and with the [Three Talents Array] wanting to break through the circle formation with the strongest defensive power, even Litton didn't even think about it. However, the [Sancai Array] is undoubtedly the most powerful basic template in the ancient military array, and this battle array can be added indefinitely. For example, increasing the number of musketeers and pikemen, this is the [Spanish phalanx]; If you add light cavalry, it can evolve into [Fish Scale Array]; If you add heavy infantry and heavy cavalry...... Li Dun felt powerful when he thought about it, and when Lao Tzu had a rhinoceros to ride, he could rush the circle in front of him with just one impact. As for now, well, hitting a stone with a head is a sign of a fool.
Of course, if the Fire Demon opened up the battle formation and accepted their guide, Litton wouldn't mind another assault to impress the guys a little more. And this risk, the fire demon man would never dare to take it. Especially Yan Long, the leader among the fire demons, the soldiers can't see the power of the Wild Bull Battle Array, and the low-level officers can't see the power of the Wild Bull Battle Array, can't he also see it?
The elite does not mean that Kong Wu is powerful or the elite.
It needs to match vision, knowledge, and noble identity.
And all this, Yanlong is not lacking at all.
For the sake of a lowly tribal guide, the Fire Demon pays a huge loss, although it is only a possible loss, which is also unacceptable to the Fire Demon Man. Yan Long naturally understood the truth of this. The moment the Brute Bull Battle Formation shifted its target, he could see that the other party's purpose might not be himself from beginning to end, but that guide.
Strangely enough, though, the guide didn't choose to escape. is still stunned in the local area, which is almost a death-seeking practice on the battlefield. If this guy turns around and runs, it's the real tricky big problem for Lytton. The other party is also a native of this mountain forest, and his familiarity with the surrounding terrain is even better than that of the warriors of the Barbarian Cattle Tribe. Once you escape into the mountains and forests, it will be difficult to find each other again. This is just right, Li Don doesn't want to add to the accident, and if he solves this 'traitor' and 'traitor', he can at least be able to deal with the fire demon with peace of mind. What if this scourge is kept alive to give him a headache?
"Gesang, what are you still doing in a daze?"
Aoki's bow had already been drawn, and with a buzz, the arrow flew out like a bolt of lightning. The arrow that penetrated the body lost its last momentum, and even Aoki, who shot the arrow, was stunned for a moment, and the other party didn't dodge?
Having degenerated into a traitor, what is more important than being alive.
But to his surprise, the other party's intention seemed to be seeking death. Such an action made Gesang stunned, he had already recognized who the man was, who had taught him the fighting instinct, who had always been his idol in the tribe, and after a violent quarrel with the tribal leader, he left angrily...... When we meet again, I didn't expect that we must see the situation of life and death. Gesang hesitated slightly, but there was a trace of confusion in the barbarian bull battle array, but fortunately, Litton was alert and shouted, "Catch it alive." ”
The 'traitor' who had already been hit by the arrow did not resist at all, and in the hands of Lei Ju, like an eagle catching a chicken, he slipped up and threw it to Gesang. said angrily: "Since you can't bear to do it, you will carry him behind your back." ”
Lytton also wanted to get some real news from the 'traitor'. Although the fire demon they captured was frightened, and he had something to say like a bamboo tube pouring beans, the problem was that his status was too low, and an ordinary soldier would know how much the leader thought. But the 'traitor' is different, although this guy is despised by the Fire Demon, Yanlong needs him to lead the way for the army, and there are still many secrets of Paektu Mountain that he needs to crack. There must have been plenty of opportunities for the two to talk, and perhaps some useful information could be obtained from the traitors.
Under the shocked gaze of the Fire Demon and the Yan Dragon, the Wild Bull Battle Array grabbed a person who was dispensable to them, and then slipped away again in full view of everyone. As the leader of the Fire Demon Man, Yan Long never gave the battle order to pursue again, he was afraid that he would be fooled by Li Don once, and then he would have no face, and he would have no face to command the soldiers to do things.
This scene made Yanlong speechless.
Originally, he admired Lytton quite a lot, of course, it is likely that Lytton did not appreciate it at all. You are a small aristocrat in a slave society, and you still want to make friends with promising young people in the new era?
What is Gao Pan knowing?
What does it mean to be unattainable, do you know?
……
"Young master, the losses have been counted, fifteen swords are missing, nine guns, and shields are ......" The housekeeper felt that it was very bad, those barbarians simply called Hanako to reincarnate, and they wanted everything. Otherwise, the moment the Brute Bull Battle Formation left, not only the housekeeper, but even Yan Long felt a sense of déjà vu. IN LATER GENERATIONS, THERE WAS A SKILL CALLED REPLICATION, AND THERE WAS A GAME CALLED COSPLYA. And the Brute Bull Warrior is a complete replica of the army of the Fire Demon, how can it not feel familiar?
Lytton is a man who can live, and when he touches a metal shield, he laughs; Sword, he laughed; He also laughed at the spear...... Anyway, even the armor is wearing a fire demon. Judging from the back, what is the difference between the battle formation of the wild bull and the battle formation of the fire demon, the armor and weapons are the same, if it weren't for the fire demon being bullied miserably, maybe he would still think that the wild bull battle formation is a friendly army?
Yan Long waved his hand angrily and said, "Needless to say, let's talk about casualties." ”
"Sixteen people were killed in the battle, twenty-two were seriously wounded, and minor injuries were not counted." The steward replied in a panic that the army led by Yan Long this time was more than one hundred and fifty people, and he lost one-third of his military strength in just one sneak attack. If the Manniu tribe continues to entangle, Yanlong is likely to rest in this mountain forest.
The housekeeper hesitated: "Young master, the tribesmen do not accept the king, and they are extremely barbaric, so it is better to go back to the royal city first." Gather the family soldiers and then calculate, okay? ”
Yan Long shook his head and said, "Go back, it's not easy to think about it again." The ruins have not been found, and when they come again, maybe there is no guide, and there is still a chance to find the ruins? Besides, I see that the other side is not very numerous, and the losses in this battle are quite large, because our side is unprepared, and once they are prepared, their little people will not be able to help us. ”
As soon as these words came out, they already showed Yan Long's determination. If he doesn't see the remains of the megalith, he will never go back.
Actually, he still has something to say, and he does not think that this loss is a fiasco for him. In fact, Yan Long was still sighing, this time he came to the wild hinterland to come to the right place, and those guys in Wangcheng who looked at people with their noses from above would definitely not have imagined that a small leader in the wilderness could actually train a battle formation.
Of course, the only thing that made him very depressed was that as an orthodox military education, Yanlong was no stranger to war, but the unfamiliar opponent made him helpless. The regular army has the advantages of the regular army, and it is standardized everywhere, and the military education that Yanlong received gave him a kind of one-dimensional constraint on the battlefield, but when fighting in a large army, discipline is the most important aspect of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.
But Lytton had no such concerns, not to mention formal military education, and he didn't even have friends who were soldiers.
So much so that his tactics are unpredictable and sudden, and he will do whatever comes to mind, and he is talking about Lytton.
Such an opponent is definitely the most headache for Yan and Long. And he listened to the loss report, but his mind kept hurting, what should he do if he met Lytton again?
In the barbarian tribe, Litton was surprised by the 'barbarian traitor' who betrayed the goshawk tribe, Gesang had a gloomy face and looked at each other with complicated eyes. The roots of his teeth mattered, and he struggled inwardly to change how to face the closest people in this original tribe.
"Why, why do you know you're ashamed of the tribe and do this? Why exactly? The emotions suppressed in Gesang's chest completely exploded at this moment, and he even shook the shoulders of the black head, ignoring that the other party's wounds were about to be stirred up.
