Chapter 8: Meteorite Tactics
The war in the human world is heating up, and Hulegu commands a large army, attacking cities and plundering land in the territory of Reins, seemingly unstoppable, showing the demeanor of a wise leader.
Despite the praising rhetoric, Hülegü was extremely clear about his position, not only did he not feel fluttering, but he didn't even feel anything to be happy about.
"We didn't take the city, we just received what the enemy didn't want. It's so fun to be a garbage collector, are you guys all psychopaths?"
Hülegü's shouting is almost a "unsociable" performance in the eyes of his subordinates, however, if he is carried away by this small victory and ignores all potential crises, then he will not be so deeply valued by Yinzhen.
In fact, despite his current victories, Hülegü is still clearly aware of his crisis. The first cannon of Bai Qi really hit the manpower of the demon race, and the millions of demon armies were wiped out, those are the most elite talents in the demon race, and now the army under his command is numerous, but the quality is much worse, more than a third of them are even the demonic beasts that have no ability to think. Take these demon armies to the battlefield, kill and destroy, if you want to rely on them to occupy the place, it will definitely cause chaos in the world.
The purpose of occupation is to rule, to put it bluntly, to obtain resources for a long time, and if the destination is completely destroyed on the way to occupation, what is the point of occupying a garbage dump? In terms of the situation at hand, the best strategy is to lead a group of guerrilla fighters to maintain a high degree of mobility, while absorbing the essence of human territory and obtaining supplies, and on the other hand, to train troops and improve the quality of troops. If you insist on capturing the place, it will only be to scatter the already insufficient forces again and again, and the quality is not good, and it will definitely become the target of the human elite forces.
Hülegü felt that these things were obvious, but he had no choice but to be surrounded by idiots, and all day long, his subordinates made demands, hoping to capture a certain place, establish his own martial arts, and improve his status in front of His Majesty Yinzhen.
When he was first in Medici's house, every word that Hülegü said was an absolute order, and no one dared to refute it, but he was currently in command of the new army, and the majesty of the leader had not yet been fully established, and the chances of being questioned by his subordinates were dwarfed, plus some demon generals were brave in vain, but their heads were not very bright, and they often deliberately contradicted them, either they didn't understand what they said, or they understood but didn't do it, so that Hülegü killed people all day and night, and often held meetings halfway through, and the attendants were responsible for dragging out the broken corpses from the headquarters.
"It's really a bunch of rice buckets, I teach my subordinates like dogs, what the demons need is not an excellent general, but a beast tamer. ”
In addition to various tactical considerations, there were also many problems from the rear.
First of all, because the army is a mixture of multiple races, the generals on both sides of the human race and the demon race have friction from time to time, and they don't like each other, if they just compete with each other, it's okay, and there are often situations where they pull each other's hind legs, and the conflict on the battlefield is not counted, and they can't finish reading the black letter on the Hulegu table every day, and they are angry.
"Well, if this continues, it seems that I may have to kill all my own people before I kill all my enemies......"
Hülegü's sigh contains 100% authenticity, especially the actions of his other "own person", which often makes him stir up murderous intent.
Shi Chong should be responsible for attacking Kunlun Mountain, but at present, the path from Eltino to Kunlun Mountain is not clear, and Shi Chong can only act with an elite warrior team, but he cannot wave the army. However, a large number of troops stayed in the territory of Eltino to consume food purely to consume food, and it was not possible to go on like this, in view of this, Shi Chong took the initiative to ask for orders to attack Wu Lian, taking advantage of the fact that Reynes could not help other countries and Wu Lian lacked anyone to command, and took Wu Lian in one fell swoop.
The biggest barrier of martial arts, Heavenly Sword King Five, has not had follow-up news since he was defeated in the first battle with Zhou Gongjin in Jerusalem, which made Shi Chong very uneasy, so half temptation, half sincerity, Shi Chong began to attack martial arts.
Speaking of attack, Shi Chong didn't have many chips in his hands, he couldn't put the main master in this kind of place and ignore the task of Kunlun Mountain, so he just concentrated a large number of demonic beasts and released those violent things that could not control his behavior in Wulian, so that the forest of Wulian was trampled by the demonic beasts.
There are no outstanding masters in the thirty-six tribes of martial arts, Wang Wu and Wang Youjun disappeared after being seriously injured, Gongsun Chuqian is difficult to support alone, and the simple army of tens of thousands of demonic beasts cooperates with a few transformed poisonous dragons, and there is a heaven-level combat power to suppress the array, which is enough to eat martial arts.
"When the war spreads to the door of the house, I don't believe that Wang Wu can continue to cower in the door......"
When he gave the order to attack, Shi Chong told his subordinates what he thought. As long as Wang Wuyi dies, Wu Lian and the others are a piece of fat that rests in their mouths, they have no ability to resist, and they can be eaten at any time, so the current focus is to force out Wang Wu, if his injuries are still not healed, then he must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be one more Zhaitian martial artist who can affect the overall situation, which is definitely not what the demon clan is happy to see.
The group of demonic beasts attacked martial arts in a big way, and this incident immediately caused a commotion. The demons have such abundant troops, and attack from multiple sides at the same time, which is by no means good news for the human camp, and Shi Chong is not a martial artist who can only do brute, when the uncontrolled group of demonic beasts invades the forest, burns and destroys everywhere, and the orc troops of Wulian itself fall into a bitter battle, causing many casualties every day, and the major orcs are under heavy pressure, Shi Chong sent secret envoys to visit the leaders of the major orcs and persuade them to defect from the Orc Federation and throw themselves into the demons.
"The source of the martial arts beast clan was born from the mixed blood of the demon race and humans during the Kyushu War, and later was persecuted by humans before they fell into the martial arts wilderness. In this way, in fact, the demons are the relatives of the orcs, and we should be on the same side. ”
"As long as you take refuge in the demons, we will not only ensure the safety of your clan, but also give you a far better life than you have now. His Majesty the Great Demon God King is omnipotent, and you will be able to have all the things you have dreamed of all your life. ”
The technique of connecting horizontal and vertical is Shi Chong's strength. After the Hibiscus Rebellion, Wang Wu, who defeated Kublai Khan, became the god of martial arts, but Shi Chong, who used intrigues and tricks to make Kublai Khan's battle line collapse, was the object of hatred and hatred of all martial arts orcs, having said that, when the strong pressure of exterminating the clan came, there were not many people who were willing to fight to the end at all costs, not to mention, when Shi Chong promised to be rewarded with a generous amount, many of the beast clan patriarchs who were already determined to be weak suddenly defected and changed their positions in one day.
Wu Lian is indeed a place where brute force is supreme, and several beast clan patriarchs who announced their rebellion against the Beast Federation and joined the demon camp were killed by the angry clan rebellion immediately after the announcement, and wealth and wealth became a pipe dream. But compared to this, there are also instances where the beast clan feels that something can't be done, and the whole clan announces that they have joined the demon camp, in short, half a month after the invasion of the demon army, Wu Lian has fallen into a state of high chaos.
For Shi Chong's camp, Hulegu's successive victories in Reyns had created a major pressure, and Hülegü's tactics were quite clever, allowing the army to advance slowly and gradually encroach on the territory, and on the other hand, allowing the magicians to carry out air raids on the major cities every night, even though the army was still thousands of miles away, but evenly distributed the fear to the humans in each city.
Attacking from near and far, Hülegü's tactics were extremely successful, and now the Reyns people mentioned this demon prince with a considerable degree of fear, not knowing when his clever plan would fall on their heads.
Time entered February, Shi Chong and Hülegü's armies advanced in Wulian and Reins Tyren respectively, spreading the flames of the beacon smoke and war to the entire Wind Continent, and the "Demon Invasion" has changed from an illusory fairy tale to a real breath that can be breathed.
However, the military operation, which had been smooth, would also encounter obstacles, and Hulegu's tactics were cracked by the enemy after more than 20 days of repeated implementation. After all, Reyns is a magic kingdom, and after being beaten for many days, he finally counterattacked Hulegu's air attack tactics, because the targets of Hülegü's air raids are all locked on the metropolis, it is relatively easy to be mastered by Reyns, and in the past ten days, Reyns's magician troops have arranged enchantments in the sky above several metropolises.
The meteorite tactic of opening spatial passages and throwing huge burning stones, Reyns has not yet developed this technology, and he cannot fight back head-on, but compared to the strength and domineering of demon magic, humans can use ingenuity to restrain it. That night, hundreds of blazing huge meteorites fell again, but when they passed through the barrier above the city, they seemed to encounter a flexible and powerful protective net, and they were bounced back one by one, passing through the gap in time and space above, and smashing back towards the demon camp that had just finished casting.
The meteorite fell from the sky, and there must have been heavy casualties under the surprise, but when Hülegü used meteorite tactics, he had long guessed that the enemy had such a move, and he personally supervised the army on the side every time he cast a spell, and when he saw the expected counterattack coming, he didn't even have to take action in person, just a simple order, dozens of trebuchets were activated one after another, and the falling flame meteorite was shot down.
The defense was successful, and Hülegü, who liked the extravagant style, stood on the top of the trebuchet, his snow-white tuxedo coat fluttering in the night sky, shaking the white paper fan in his hand, and laughing.
"Hahaha, that's preparedness. With the same trick, how could I not be wary of being hit back? I threw hundreds of them, only to smash dozens of them back, and I still took advantage of them, hahaha...... Oh no!"
Hülegü, who was originally full of ambition, suddenly stopped laughing, and his face changed greatly, this bizarre change made the nearby subordinates stunned, not knowing what was wrong. Soon after, Hülegü sat cross-legged on the lever of the trebuchet, staring to the east and muttering to himself as if he were very annoyed.
"It was put on a ...... Reyns has a great magician guarding him, but who is it? If it's a beauty, you should find a chance to meet it. ”
The ethereal sight of Hülegü sitting cross-legged on the lever of the trebuchet impressed his subordinates, and the reason for his change of face became known the next morning.
Reynes's strategy of using his strength was extremely cunning, and the defensive enchantments placed above several cities had other functions besides rebounding meteorites. Through the spatial gap, only a few smashed back towards the Hülegü camp, and most of the rebounded meteorites made a second change when they passed through the spatial gap, and in turn, they used the spatial gap of the demon clan to be teleported to the sky above several metropolises of Eltino...... Of course, ninety percent of them fall in Zhongdu.
That night, the middle capital city, it was really a catastrophe, hundreds of meteorites fell from the sky, smashing into the buildings in the city, not only caused heavy casualties, but also the flames spread everywhere, when the fire spread to the cage where the demonic beasts were imprisoned, thousands of untamed demonic beasts broke out of the prison, followed the instinct to destroy the living, devouring the living, not only the humans in the city were harmed, but even the demon soldiers also caused death and injury.
Whether it is the Jixia or Hulegu camp, there will be main masters who will come out to resist the meteorite and quell the riots, but in the central capital, if the Great Demon God King comes out to deal with these problems in person, it will be regarded as a manifestation of not having the demeanor of a king, because these things can be handled by his subordinates, and there is no reason for the Great Demon God King to come out in person. As a result, throughout the night, Yinzhen, who was in the palace, did not give any orders, and indifferently allowed the riots in the city to spread.
Early the next morning, when the demon generals knelt in front of the main hall of the palace, they were busy kowtowing and asking for guilt, Yin
He did not punish or reprimand them, but spoke coldly to his subordinates in a voice that made his whole heart seem to be surrounded by ice.
"Qing and the others are not guilty, there are other responsible people for this matter. Passing on my will, Prince Xuan Hülegü returned to Zhongdu on the same day to be punished. ”
This imperial decree was transmitted through magic and was delivered to Hülegü in the shortest possible time. As both a minister and a son of man, Hülegü had no excuse to refute at all, handed over the work at hand to his subordinates, and immediately rushed back to Zhongdu.
Although Hülegü smiled and optimistically told all his subordinates that he would soon return, when his personal attendant brought the winged one-horned magic horse and waited for his master to mount his horse, he heard the handsome nobleman seem to be complaining.
“...... Stinky old man, what kind of majesty do you have to put on? If you knew earlier, you wouldn't throw stones, but what kind of cow dung and horse dung you would throw away, and see what kind of expression you would have when the time came. ”
With such disrespect for the Great Demon God King, the attendant who heard this sentence was shocked, but Hülegü had already ridden away from the air.
Counterattacking Hülegü and attacking Zhongdu from a distance beautifully should be said to be a victory for the Reyns camp, but neither Kokusa nor Gengoro were in the mood to celebrate with a good drink, because this insignificant little victory was more propaganda than substance, and there was really no need to be overly happy, but to remind themselves to be cautious.
In addition to the battle situation in the Wind Continent, Xiaocao must also look overseas, at least the battle line on Kunlun Mountain is related to the survival and safety of the entire Wind Continent.
During this time, Shi Chong mobilized all the heavenly combat power in his hands and sent it to Kunlun Mountain, occasionally passing through Jixia City on the way, and if he wanted to block it, it would inevitably lead to fierce battles.
"Unless Shi Chong takes the initiative to attack Jixia City, you don't use it as any interception, just let them over. ”
This is the message that Merlin commissioned Gengoro to bring, but whether it was right or not, Xiaocao was really worried......
That fear was not long before it was confirmed. In just a few days, the results of the Battle of Kunlun spread to the Continent of the Whole Wind, and both humans and demons paid a heavy price for it.
