A sudden battle of annihilation made the battle that had suddenly begun to enter a fierce battle suddenly come to an abrupt end, although in the following days the puppet army launched an attack on Chang'an City, and even the same situation appeared on the top of the city, but under the resistance of the military and civilian unity, the puppets did not take any advantage.

Of course, this is also because the clay puppets have not really exerted their strength, so don't look at the momentum, but the battle damage between the two sides is at a relatively low level within the range of mutual recognition. Although it can't be said to be a fake fight, after all, it is disrespectful to the dead in battle, but this can only show that the puppet side does not plan to exert all its strength in this city again.

It is precisely because of this judgment that the Ling Bingzhou army did not make any impatient statements even when Chang'an City looked "precarious", and how to continue their actions was still as usual, and even seemed to be more slow and methodical.

This made the commanders of the clay puppets judge that there must be some kind of communication between the state army and Chang'an City that they did not know, and this is not the first time that such suspicions have appeared, after all, on the noisy battlefield, seeing birds that dare to hover in the sky or even fall into the enemy's formation This kind of thing is somewhat abnormal, once or twice is fine, and it will naturally be noticed if there are more times.

But the puppeteers couldn't do anything with the birds.

Birds cruising at high altitudes in normal conditions are obviously out of the range of the crossbow, and then suddenly dive down and fall are not only fast but also choose a relatively safe area, not to mention that these little guys are also dexterous, it is really not easy to hurt them.

In addition to tactical deception, you can only expect the care of the god of luck, but the word luck is what the puppets don't trust the most.

Even they are not all lucky victims.

In retrospect, it was all a "choice of fate" (please read the tone with a stick here) (laughs)!

The Puppeteers didn't make much of a move, but the Puppet Army knew that they would definitely take action in the next battle, after all, as time passed, the Puppeteers knew more about the Puppet Army. The aura of mystery surrounding the puppeteers is also gradually dissipating, and the state army with enough information will also formulate more targeted countermeasures.

One of the more practical aspects is the use of bloodthirsty magic by the new shamans of the state army.

In fact, there has always been a saying among shamans and witch doctors that "bloodthirsty spells are the exclusive spells of hot-blooded youths", after all, people who have been subjected to such spells, if their will is not firm enough, they will definitely attack and attack without distinguishing between themselves and themselves because they are too hot-blooded, and it is easier to be strict after the battle. Even if you die because you have overdrawn your vitality, it is not unusual.

And after the civil officials of the state army, the "new. Bloodthirsty Technique", while increasing its power, it naturally had to pay a greater price, and even once spread the saying that "it was completely a suicide thaumaturgy developed by the people of Bingzhou".

It really makes the people of Bingzhou speechless, and even has a kind of desire to completely seal it to the heavens and the earth.

As for those prairie undead who have a treasure for this thing and let the state army taste the taste of homemade BBQ or something, it is also an unspeakable black history, all in all, it has become a taboo-like existence.

Of course, if it's used to stimulate the "enthusiasm" of cannon fodder who don't have a psychological burden at all, this spell is still very easy to use, as long as you don't worry about the battle damage afterwards, even cannon fodder can usher in a beautiful spring because of this spell.

Although spring is followed by a cruel winter.

But now it seems that this shelved spell has a new use.

After this period of fighting. The state army already knew how organized and disciplined their enemies were, and the clay puppets on the battlefield were like a sophisticated war machine - except for the Noble Phantasm-grade Golden Cannon Cannon, no trebuchet or artillery could reach such a level of standard, which is why these enemies always seemed so difficult.

However, this is a unit from hundreds of years ago, and the combination of troops would still have many loopholes that could be exploited if it weren't for their tight organization and the powerful power of their crossbowmen, provided of course that their near-perfect coordination was broken.

It's like the more sophisticated the instrument, as long as it damages even the less critical parts, it will have a great impact on the performance of the machine, and if the model of the machine is older. Then the output power or the amount of computation will naturally not meet the requirements.

And whether it's an enemy or your own people, as long as you are put on a spell, you will become crazy. It's just that there are some subtle but key differences according to the different wills of the individual, but in any case, it is impossible to continue to act like before, and the action of the spinal nerves has an absolute dominance in this case.

It is said that it is surprising that those "stones" can not be immune to the power of the bloodthirsty technique, which can only be said to be an accident on the battlefield, but it can also be said to be an inevitability, after all, it is really surprising that the red-eyed lead can first come up with such a method. But considering that as the commander of the Invincible Flying Army, it is not surprising that he can be said to be fed and clothed with those Huns, and has a deeper understanding of their shamans and witch doctors than the average Central Plains people.

From the very beginning, it was hoped that the ability of Bloodlust to lower IQ would work, after all, for this young man, who could also be regarded as a "veteran" on the battlefield, he was already about to be overwhelmed by those perfect soldiers who almost had no personal will and completely obeyed the orders of their superiors. So instead of facing opponents who are like staying in a turtle's shell, Draw Move would rather face a tiger without a brain, after all, hunters will always have more ways to deal with a tiger that lacks cooperation.

At the very least, they can appreciate the intellectual superiority that they should have as a human being as a high-level primate and the spirit of all things.

Being able to mad the calm and reliable young man who was trying so hard to imitate Cao Chun and make himself appear like this, you can also know why the results that can be achieved in the previous battles are still so limited, even if they are partial.

Of course, because this method is unexpectedly easy to use, it has been quickly popularized.

As long as you see that the originally neat phalanx has become like corn gnawed by dogs because of the "provocation" of those unscrupulous new shamans on the side of the Bingzhou army, and then the clay puppet soldiers who have lost the protection of the formation are still powerful in their own body, so that the veterans of the Bingzhou army and the most skilled archers among the Hu people also feel that they are like the difference between adults and children. But in any case, the enemy's own loopholes will naturally benefit the side of the state army.

As the first to promote this method of warfare, Gao Shun's Northern Corps actually overturned the five corps of the puppets in three days, causing the puppets to suffer nearly 20,000 battle losses, which can be called brilliant in any case.

As for Xu Rong, who had retaken over all the work of the Western Corps, and Li Shushi, who commanded the Central Corps, they also lost no time in launching a series of offensives and achieved quite good results. Although they have also paid a lot of price, the blow to the Puppet Corps is definitely even greater, after all, compared to the living who can replenish or even complete the "metabolism" through this, the irrefillable characteristics of the Puppet Corps make them unable to withstand such huge battle losses before they form enough forces.

Even if the Puppet Corps has such a huge number of troops as 100,000.

However, it could not stand the piecemeal encroachment policy of the Juzhou army -- while using Chang'an City to govern the orphans, while constantly strangling the living forces of the puppets on the periphery, it can be said that if the puppets did not consider enough effective countermeasures, when the strength of the puppet corps dropped to a certain extent, they would no longer be able to shake the ruling power of the Juzhou army.

And the commanders of the puppet regiment did not disappoint.

Their approach is nothing short of a madness in this era, can you imagine that this group of commanders completely broke up their regiments and took the initiative to attack the defense line of the people in the state by means of stragglers?

At least until these guys make this crazy move. Li Shushi is completely unimaginable.

After proving that the Bingzhou Army was indeed capable of reconnoitring large forces moving on the battlefield, it seemed that the commander of the Puppeteer Corps had apparently given up on the idea of fighting the Bingzhou Army in the movement of large regiments, because it did not allow them to have any advantage, and even had to be on the lookout for possible ambushes because of the exposure of the operation.

Perhaps the puppets don't care about this physical and attention drain, but such overly cautious actions make it impossible for them to reach their goal within the allotted time, and thus completely lose the essence of sports warfare - they can't move at all! Then there is no need to continue thinking about what happens after that.

Probably because they understood the stakes, the Puppeteers made such a bold move - can't you spy on it, that's good. I've scattered all the people, and I'll let you know I'm coming to trouble you. But when it comes to every soldier, every combat group, can you see it? How many troops are you going to use against this clay puppet battle group?

Spears were abandoned, and melee soldiers were to use bronze swords, and it was naturally impossible for long-range crossbowmen to abandon their sharp crossbows, except for those chariot units that presumably belonged to the Noble Guards. The rest of the clay puppet soldiers who had been seen on the battlefield only prepared these two kinds of weapons on their bodies, and then formed battle groups - they scattered and gathered, scattered or grouped, constantly attacking the defense line of the state army, and in many unbelievable ways.

These combat groups often rely on their superior individual protection to shoot arrows at close range. This kind of feathered arrows fired from all directions are difficult to effectively protect even the soldiers in the camp, and once they find that there is a hole in the defense system of the Bingzhou army, or the soldiers are a little dazed by the sudden attack, they will take advantage of the situation and rush forward to start a close and chaotic battle.

In fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness alone, the state army does not have the ability to fight a chaotic battle with the puppets, so the meaning of bloodthirsty art is to make the puppets chaotic, and then let the state army fight against the enemies who appear to be chaotic, that is, those puppets.

But even if this kind of process is achieved, the Bingzhou army still needs to pay a considerable price to make the puppets feel painful, but because the Bingzhou army has an advantage in replenishing troops, this tactic has become popular among the Bingzhou army.

So what happens when the clay puppets turn the battle into a chaotic battle?

No matter what happened after that, at least at the beginning, the state army was completely stunned, and there was even a situation where three camps of the Western Army were destroyed, and one camp of the Northern Army and one of the main Eastern Army also collapsed. Several commanders had to send more troops to maintain the general, and at that time, the puppets had already been led by the front-line commanders and did not know where to go.

No, even if the birds in the sky were able to bring back the enemy's whereabouts, they would soon disperse again, making it impossible for the people to send out a clearing team, and it would be very difficult to even determine the enemy's next target.

It's even more painful. It was the puppets who did not need to think about the problem of body and supplies at all, so that they could launch attacks of any scale at any time and in any place - from the attack of several battle groups to the cooperative encirclement and annihilation of several regiments, the puppets may have exerted their own advantages to the limit.

It feels like the puppet corps doesn't use many people, but it seems that the three major corps of the state army have been surrounded.

And this kind of tactic can only be played by clay puppets.

Yes, Li Shushi had already concluded this when he saw this tactic, after all, that kind of fighting method like casting a wide net would evolve into a rout for the soldiers of this era if they were not careful. After all, that kind of appearance of being all over the field, unorganized and undisciplined, it doesn't look like an attack at all, but like a big rout. Even if it is really an attack, without the Warlord behind them, in most cases, as long as there is the slightest possibility of a headwind, there will inevitably be soldiers who choose to withdraw from the battle for various reasons, which will lead to the collapse of the entire skirmisher line.

So don't talk about using it, just hearing this tactic is enough to make the generals of the military generals of the state army feel numb.

Of course, if the enemy is not these clay puppets. In fact, this kind of wasp-like attack method is not completely unused by the state army, as if it was fighting against the northern Hu people. Whether it is the Han version of bounty hunters, armed caravans, or student armies that come out during the holidays to experience and earn extra money, their size ranges from a dozen to more than a hundred, and the scale is generally not large. It's just that compared to the organized large-scale actions of the clay puppets, such actions are still somewhat scattered. It is the mandate of each to rely on his own ability, except for the "winter hunting" of the state army, there will be more cooperation.

The gap between the two is still very obvious.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the puppet army is obviously the same as the existence of the hanging, with a super high degree of organization, and almost constant morale. and the obedience to orders that break through the sky, saying that even if these clay puppets are turned into rabbits, eating corn and fried noodles, and holding burning sticks in their hands, I believe that they can still win one opponent after another.

Even if the opponent still has modern heavy equipment such as airplanes and artillery, it may not be able to take advantage of a group of rabbits that are completely identical.

For such tactics used by such an opponent, even if the Bingzhou army has not had a good way for a while, because the enemy has abandoned the original idea of fighting with you on the frontal battlefield, then the original method is naturally useless, after all, if the battle becomes a pure chaotic battle, the Bingzhou army, which has strict personal combat effectiveness, will still suffer.

The reason why people are human is that they can think and innovate. When you are cornered, even a rabbit can carry a big knife, pick up a bayonet, pick up a brick and fight hard, not to mention a human being driven crazy.

This time it was Cao Ling, a foodie, who made the contribution.

Although he appeared in Gao Shun's northern corps somewhat unprofessionally as the Taishou of the clouds, but now that the biggest trouble in the north has disappeared for various reasons, the defense of the north will enter a relatively stable state in the time it wants to taste, even if there are some remnants that will constitute new troubles, but those border people and armed caravans themselves can deal with it well with the help of the government.

After all, it is not easy for those steppe tribes to form a larger alliance nowadays, if they can't unite together, and the state army has enough strength to let those Hu tribes who dare to offend them know what it means to "the back road is not guaranteed, and the hometown is copied".

Therefore, it is not surprising that Cao Ling appeared here as Gao Shun's staff officer.

is also because this big foodie who used to study under Su Xiaololi will sneak out and do some things that a foodie should do, and it is even more natural.

Naturally, it is a high probability that you will encounter an enemy while secretly cooking food in a grove around the camp.

For foodies, their temperament is generally more embarrassing, and they are always dismissive of that kind of thing in order to satisfy their appetites, but at the same time, if you violate the sacrosanct realm of being a big foodie, then even a foodie called a rabbit will be angry, and it will be a monstrous rage.

Unfortunately, or rather self-inflicted, the clay puppets made such a mistake.

"Isn't it just stealing camps, what's the big deal, I'm going to make you pay enough to make you understand the price of angering a big foodie!"

Cao Ling said this and did the same, and his approach directly led the war to a more bizarre change. (To be continued......)
