Chapter 51: Their Tactics
You're half of Yu—that's what Nero said to Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc had always thought it was Nero's unilateral declaration because of their similar appearances, but now Joan of Arc felt that there was really some other connection between the two.
Because Marda told her that Nero had a headache, Joan of Arc herself felt a headache, and the reason for the headache was the same for both of them - Zhuge Kongming, the unparalleled army division of the Three Kingdoms, forced Perseus to the point of jumping into the sea and losing contact.
Indeed, Joan of Arc possesses the skill of "revelation", which is similar to a sixth sense, and is able to perceive hidden dangers and avoid them in advance. And unlike the "intuition", which is exclusive to combat, Joan of Arc's "revelation" is more widely used, from travel to life choices, especially on large-scale battlefields, it can be called the existence of a bug like a war finger. It is with this skill that Joan of Arc can become invincible, invincible, and become a "saint of national salvation".
However, even such a buggy skill has a limit.
She can sense the "danger" and "where the danger is", but she can't predict "what kind of danger it is", let alone make further targeted arrangements.
Such an ability is fighting an ordinary war, and a regular general is naturally invincible, just like she led the French army all the way through the English invaders.
But now, her opponent is the demon-level Zhuge Kongming, who doesn't need "intuition", doesn't need "enlightenment", and can anticipate the enemy's first opportunity by calculating alone. Just feeling the danger isn't enough for her to overcome the enemy, it's more likely to put her in a dilemma.
To take the simplest example, Kong Ming's "ten-sided ambush" array against Perseus, ten ambush soldiers waiting to beat you in all directions, what kind of "revelation" will Joan of Arc get?
There are dangers in front and back, left and right, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to the ground, there are hard bones everywhere, what can you do?
Don't think it's an exaggeration or alarmist, Zhuge Kongming's evaluation in history is "Zhuge is only cautious in his life", and when he wants to deal with someone, he has already prepared all kinds of back-up moves, until he forces you into a dead end.
Although Joan of Arc had not yet fallen into such a miserable situation as "ambush on all sides", she could already feel that the situation of the battle was becoming more and more unfavorable to her, and the reason was simply because Kong Ming had strengthened the army with his magic.
Undoubtedly, this is also one of the calculations against Joan of Arc.
As a Ruler, Joan of Arc possesses the highest level of magic powers, and can be called a magician's nemesis. However, her mana can only work on herself, not on others, so she can't eliminate the buff magic on the military level.
And her most commonly used Noble Phantasm "My Lord is Here" has a very limited garrison range, and the main body cannot be moved when using the Noble Phantasm. As soon as he freed the Holy Banner, Kong Ming's side would definitely order his soldiers to bypass his garrison and attack the friendly forces in the rear.
"A strong enemy, an unprecedented enemy."
Joan of Arc bit her lip and forced herself to suppress the vertigo in her head. In order to deal with such an enemy, she is unleashing "revelations" every moment, and the huge mental consumption adds a great burden to her.
And this is exactly what Kong Ming wants to see, although his own state is not good.
"It's amazing how persistent it is. Although both calculation and intuition require full attention and consume a huge amount of mental energy, it is obvious that there is less pressure on my side when there is preparation—it is terrible. ”
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Iskandar looked at Zhuge Kongming worriedly, and the latter shook his head.
"She's all right, what can I do? It's almost time, replace the front army, let the rear army replace the front army, and the reserve army instead of the rear army. ”
"Got it, teacher, what about tactics?"
"No change. You should remember that although the art of war emphasizes winning by surprise, the vast majority of wars do not rely on so-called tricks, but rely on the competition of hard power, and use the method of attacking to fight little by little. The best way to deal with an opponent like Joan of Arc is to use our strengths and kill her! ”
"Understood."
What are the advantages of Kong Ming's side?
It's simple, lots of people! As soon as the tens of thousands of Caesars were defeated, Iskandar pulled out another tens of thousands to continue up.
The United Empire, which occupied most of Rome, was like Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who had two out of three parts of the world back then, a Chibi defeat, but there were still enough troops to suppress Sun Liu, and once Sun Liu was defeated, he was defeated and died, and there was no possibility of a comeback.
If it weren't for the large number of servants on Nero's side and their concentration, they would have been crushed to pieces by the armies of the emperors a long time ago.
Iskandar asked again: "Why hasn't the enemy sent a servant until now, it is a powerful force that is enough to control the battlefield, if it were me, I might have been unable to bear it a long time ago." ”
"So you are the king of conquest." Kong Ming commented, "You want to use the most powerful posture to crush the enemy, and she doesn't think so. She should have the same idea as I did, drain the enemy's energy as much as possible, and wait until both sides are tired, and then let the Servant come out decisively and make the final decision. ”
The eyes of the young conquering king were full of reverence: "But she didn't know that the teacher had already thought of it, so she let us never participate in the war and recuperate." ”
"It's not necessarily that I don't know, it's just that I ...... In any case, this battle must be fought, and if you lose, you have nothing, and if you win, you have to look forward to it - right......"
Kong Ming's face was not happy, some were just deeply tired. At the end of the words, he spat out a name in a weak voice. The sound was too low for Iskandar to hear.
"Teacher, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about when I should use the Noble Phantasm."
"It must have been when the enemy Servant appeared. Teacher, your 'Eight Stone Soldiers' will definitely be able to trap two horsemen, no, three horsemen, maybe four horsemen, and victory will be in our pocket at that time. ”
Iskandar's high voice fully demonstrated his confidence in Zhuge Kongming, and also made the latter's face smile a little, but his voice was still very soft, almost inaudible.
"You're looking too highly of me...... And instead of the 'Eight Stone Formations' I want to use, I'm going to—"
The big sleeves swayed, Kong Ming's clothes changed from a suit to a red robe, and a scroll slipped out of the sleeve of his left hand and was pushed back in an instant.
Because of the speed, Iskandar didn't see what it was, and could only vaguely see three natural seal characters written on the cover of the scroll.
Without waiting for him to inquire in detail, Kong Ming suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes sharp.
"Here we are."
