Chapter 238: Show Your Strength
In fact, some of the more shrewd people, including Zhang Fan, still know that since the other party seems to have carefully planned this ambush, and put out four seven or eight thousand legions in front of the 185th Army at one time, a total of 30,000 troops, it means that there are probably more than four legions ready to be put into the army, this time I am afraid that the other party's purpose is not to make the 185th Army Corps, which is still relatively prominent in this area, suffer three or four casualties and break the bones, it is likely that there is also the purpose of giving the entire 185th Army an annihilating blow...
At this time, Zhang Fan couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw this situation. In this case, if you limit the scope of your strength to a more prominent commander, it will undoubtedly be difficult to fundamentally change the passive situation faced by the 185th Army, and if you have the opportunity to temporarily adjust to become a personal soldier around Guo Kun, it may be obviously much better to have the ability to act as a reserve or fire support point in a relatively stable introvert.
In this way, in order to break through, first of all, under the leadership of Guo Kun, who was in charge of commanding the entire corps, the entire phalanx with a radius of sixty or seventy steps and five columns in depth began to retreat back at full speed. The spiritual power advantage of the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm was also undoubtedly reflected at this time, even in a retreat or running close to full speed, they could achieve a relatively consistent pace or even a very strict formation, and no matter how proficient the mortal army was in queue training, it could not do this.
However, Guo Kun still seems to have underestimated the movement speed of the enemy army formation, I don't know what methods or even means were used, the movement speed of the enemy army formation seemed to be faster when there were more people, and finally the four army corps still surrounded the entire 185th Army Corps from all directions after chasing for more than ten miles. The main body of the entire corps is a gunman with a shield in one hand and a short spear in the other, and there are almost no melee soldiers among the officers and soldiers on the front line. Only the commanders who are clearly cultivated to a higher level of command make the third a "projectioner" in a certain sense.
It seems that he has stepped into the realm of refining the void, because of the unprecedented strength of the power, there is no elastic material that can effectively make a suitable bow and crossbow. Therefore, the main means of commanding the output of fire is actually a heavy javelin. In Zhang Fan's rough calculation, the weight of the javelin can reach the level of tens of billions of tons, if it weren't for the fact that this world is completely different from the earth, Zhang Fan suspects that such a huge mass of an ordinary javelin-sized object would probably have collapsed into a black hole long ago.
When a master who has roughly cultivated around the fifteenth or fifteenth grade throws a javelin with an estimated weight of about 10 billion tons, it seems that he has returned to an ordinary elite soldier, and at most he can only throw this light javelin-like weapon at a distance of only about fifty or sixty meters.
However, the javelin, which has a maximum throwing distance of about 50 or 60 meters, seems to be quite useful, and this range happens to be a slightly larger radius of the entire army formation, and it is easy to overdraw from the central position to all directions for fire support when the entire tactical group roughly forms a battle formation that is similar to a circular formation, especially for projectile fire support in the more critical places of the battle line.
This tactic is difficult for mortal armies to use, because even the most top-level javelin overdraft hand cannot guarantee meter-level overdraft accuracy under actual combat conditions at a distance of about fifty or sixty meters. What's more, because the target characteristics of the mundane javelin are obvious, the flight speed is often slow, and it is easy to be dodged on the battlefield, which is different from the reason why the bow and arrow can only play a suppressive role. Therefore, even the ancient Roman legions either chose to use lighter javelins as long-range throwing weapons in the early days, or they would use heavy javelins to throw at a slightly greater distance than long weapons, and rarely used some kind of so-called "light javelin" similar to the Olympic specifications for fire suppression in the center of the entire tactical legion, but this did not seem to be too much of a problem for the Cultivator Legion. As long as a thin silk thread is installed behind the heavy javelin for "remote control", the javelin seems to be able to slide down from the apex like a puppet, and can accurately lock on to the target in various ways.
It is said that the spells of the ordinary monks of the corpse clan are different from those of the human race, but in this unique realm of refining the void battlefield, the power that can be used is only the power of the body, and the attack method is also similar to that of the human race. Because the spiritual power is inferior to the Terran monks, the javelins thrown by the other side are relatively easy to dodge and intercept, even if the entire 185th Army is surrounded, and the enemy commanders in the four directions take turns to overdraw the javelins with more than ten times the rate of fire and density, it seems that it cannot effectively suppress Guo Kun and the other five commanders. Most of the javelins were intercepted by the soldiers around them, and the commanders made their own evasions dodge.
In this case, the speed of Guo Kun and others throwing javelins was of course also affected by the left and right dodges, but on average, they were still able to project at least two javelins every minute or so, and the entire 185th Army still maintained a continuous javelin overdraft speed of about ten rounds per minute. Or attack on weaker joints. The armor on the corpse that only protects against the projection of ordinary minions is often as fragile as paper paste in this case.
However, the hollow triangular javelin that hit the opponent did not shed blood after it broke automatically, and many corpse soldiers continued to fight after pulling out the javelins on the vital parts of their bodies.
Compared with the cultivators of the Terran Refining Void Realm, the unique advantages possessed by the monks of these corpse armies also manifested themselves at this time, that is, their ability to resist damage and recover was often stronger. If it weren't for the special arrangement of some curse power in those heavy javelins, I'm afraid that such an attack would not have achieved anything. Even if the javelin is supplemented with some magic as an attack, it will take a few minutes or so to see one of the opponent's troops being carried down.
In other words, the entire 185th Legion had to be commanded by a monk of the first rank to accumulate sixty or seventy special javelins and hit more than thirty of them, so that one of the opposing team members could have an irreversible attrition in the foreseeable campaign cycle.
Although the javelin in the shape of a flying snake thrown from all directions is easy to dodge, especially if the weapon thrown by the opponent has a tracking ability, the power is greatly reduced, but once it is hit, there is a high probability of attrition or injury.
In this way, the combat effectiveness of the unit strength of the 185th Army Corps is about three times that of the opponent, and the strength of the legion against the legion is comparable, but when it is besieged by the four legions, the situation still becomes extremely bad in an instant, and the loss rate of the entire team is roughly three or four times that of the opponent, and the strength of the army in general may not even have one-tenth of the opponent. Although because of the relatively slow pace of the battle on this unique refining battlefield, it is impossible to show victory or defeat without fighting for a few hours, but the ending of the entire legion seems to be locked, and if it goes on like this, it will only take about ten hours at most, and the entire 185th Legion may suffer heavy losses.
At this time, Zhang Fan probably confronted, fought, intercepted and counter-intercepted the opponent wearing armor and holding a shield and holding a long fork on the front line as an ace captain. After the entire 185th Army Corps continued to lose 20 men in a quarter of an hour or so, Zhang Fan had no intention of going on like this.
Therefore, when a javelin thrown by Guo Kun just fell on the enemy soldier opposite him in the battle, Zhang Fan's figure suddenly accelerated, and before the other party seemed to react, he pulled out the javelin and threw it at the fastest speed at a distance that was only forty or fifty meters away from him. Under his precise control, the javelin slid directly from behind a corpse commander, easily breaking through the helmet of a commander, and the fierce lightning instantly made the corpse's entire body seem to explode.
Unlike ordinary mortal army confrontations, each soldier on the battlefield of the monks actually has a perception ability that seems to be information-based, and can detect changes and situations on the entire battlefield.
For the first time in a long time, there has been a situation in which a commander or commander of a first-level figure can be directly reduced on the battlefield, and it is not an ordinary wounded attrition, but a situation where he is directly beaten by a blow.
In this case, whether it was the corpse army or the commanders of the 185th Legion, they quickly understood one thing: the legendary peak powerhouse of refining void appeared!
Zhang Fan obviously didn't give the other side enough time to react, and threw the spear in his hand like lightning when at least three fifteen corpse clan minions on the left and right fronts who were relatively close to him had not fled, and the spear that suddenly became as fast as a bullet pierced through at least four people in front of him in an instant, and killed and injured the fifth person with shattered fragments.
Almost as soon as the spear began to shatter, Zhang Fan's two hands walked through the dense crowd like swimming fish, and when he passed the five people on the left and right like lightning, he directly picked up the primordial spirits of a total of ten monks on the left and right with a blurred hand shadow, and in a short time, the fifteen corpses were packed into a unique storage bag hidden by Zhang Fan on his body.
Of course, this storage bag has been prepared by me a long time ago, and the purpose is of course to prevent it from being too obvious and directly exposing the Qiankun Shield when there is a need to collect some necessary items on the Void Refining Battlefield. Although there are not a few people in the entire Boundless Continent who know that they have such a magic weapon, this is also the case.
Zhang Fan also knew very well that after he planned to show the strength of the peak level of the Void Refining Realm, there was no doubt that he would no longer be taboo about some of the risks he might take in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Fan did not continue to sweep the approaching soldiers, nor did he care about the formation he should be responsible for: in this case, the enemy formation opposite him would undoubtedly not have the determination to continue to confront him head-on after losing the commander.
Like an inner door master who suddenly burst out of the mortal army, Zhang Fan at this time seemed to have a good jumping ability, flying up like a tiger and leopard, and with the help of kicking the upper body of the minions in the enemy group, he quickly gained a very fast speed, and went straight to another commander.
Obviously, even if the strength you plan to show is 14 or 5 grades higher than the average minions of the opponent, it is not the best way to attack these targets in a group, which is likely to retain the combat effectiveness of more enemy troops and retreat safely. After all: the realm of refining the void is completely different from other levels of spells, the decline of spiritual power and even super protection power still have a great impact on the efficiency of group killing, and only by cleaning the opponent's thousand-commander level characters to the greatest extent can he weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness with his personal strength to the greatest extent.
These strong enemy masters at the level of strength conversion in the Void Refining Realm actually possess extremely fast speeds under normal circumstances, but in this special gravity environment of the Void Refining Battlefield, most of them can only adopt the strategy of scattering and breaking through in all directions at the speed of a mortal who stands out a little bit to avoid maximum losses. In this way, the pressure on the entire 185th Army Corps was instantly relieved.
After successively clearing out the fourteen commanders and deputy commanders in the enemy legion on the opposite side in a short period of time, Zhang Fan returned directly to his own position as quickly as possible, in this case, Guo Kun and other commanders also knew that Zhang Fan's strength was by no means comparable to that of the commander of the army, and automatically left from the most critical javelin baggage truck.
At this time, Zhang Fan stood on top of the javelin baggage cart and launched a throwing attack at the enemy formation in all directions at the fastest speed. In the hands of Guo Kun and others, the javelin seems to be no different from the javelin in the hands of mortals, but in Zhang Fan's hands at this time, it seems to be like a guided cannonball, which can fly to the target at a speed like a sound, and can also control multiple javelins flying in the air at the same time to accurately lock on to the other party in the continuous throwing attacks.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder and explosion, the screams sounded one after another. At this time, Zhang Fan also wanted to open it. As long as it is within the allowable range, he can show his strength higher and higher as much as possible, preferably in the ordinary Void Refining Extreme Realm. In this way, when the other party is trying to find a way to deal with himself, he will invest more strength according to the standard of encircling and refining the Void Extreme Realm. At that time, I was showing my extraordinary, and maybe I was able to surprise the other party to the greatest extent.
After Zhang Fan made such a plan, not only the other party's chief and deputy commanders, but it seemed that the end of many minions was not far away. When a total of fifty or sixty corpse clan commanders were thrown one after another, and the corpses were also collected by Zhang Fan, the unique spiritual attack was launched at this time.
