Chapter 83: The Sixth Day II
In the midst of a battle, a strong reserve is a real guarantee of the security of an army. It has done more than people can imagine. When the army is defeated, it can form a line of defense to cover the retreating army in front, not only to prevent them from being defeated by the enemy's fierce attack, but also to give them enough time to reorganize their ranks, rest, and re-form their combat effectiveness; when the two armies are exhausted from fighting, it can suddenly come out from the rear and strike a fatal blow at the exhausted enemy, turning the stalemate between the two armies into victory; it can directly insert itself into the battle when the battle is going smoothly, and attack the enemy on behalf of those teams who are tired from fighting, so as to expand the results of victory; it can deal with all kinds of sudden and unpredictable events while the battle is going on, and this is the reserveIn addition, it is a potential threat to the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to devote all his forces to the battle, thus allowing the enemy to disperse his forces from a certain distance. In a certain sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that a strong reserve is the guarantee of the victory of the army. The formation of the reserve can be varied, and it is sometimes not even an formation, but a contingent temporarily designated by the commander. It can be a team that has retired from the front line to recuperate, it can be a team that is really designated by the command, and it can even be people who are working in the fields. Therefore, its organization is very flexible, and the command is also very difficult, but in any case, the key is to use it at the right time, otherwise a reserve force that has the opportunity to change the outcome of the battle will lose its real role. In most cases. Reserves were not used correctly, especially when the fighting was very intense, and the commanders often mistook the reserves for firefighting teams because of the tension of the fighting. Directly joining the battle, let the opportunity of the battle wear out the vitality of the reserve team little by little, making their real role difficult to play, and finally even became no role at all, of course, at the same time that the reserve team was destroyed by the devil, they stabilized the battle situation on a certain Cheng dù, and because of this, it was considered to have taken its due role. However, this perception is wrong in a way, and the real role of the reserves is to change the tide of battle. And not that kind of needless attrition with the enemy. (In World War II, there is a very classic example of the use of reserves, the defense of Moscow between the Soviet army and the German army, in the midst of this huge and decisive battle.) Millions of troops were involved on both sides. The front of the battle was thousands of kilometers wide, the German army was the main attack, the Soviet army was the main defense, the two sides formed a huge arc, in the course of this battle, no matter how fierce the German offensive was, how broken the Soviet defense was, the reserve formed by the Soviet base camp was never put into battle. And this reserve team has accumulated from scratch to millions of personnel. No matter what the commanders of the front line requested, they could not get this reserve from the base camp. Finally, when the German offensive reached the peak of the offensive and had to stop in the middle of the attack, this reserve force moved, from the north and south, straight into the rear of the German army, so that the Soviet army quickly formed an encirclement of the German army and carried out a strong attack, and after that, the German army, which lacked supplies, was forced to surrender after many unsuccessful breakthroughs. In this battle, the commander of the Soviet army endured to the end and achieved great results, destroying all the hundreds of thousands of elites of the German army, so that the German army could no longer form a truly effective offensive. It can be said that in this battle, the decisive role of the reserves was brought into full play. (If you're interested, you can go to the Battle of Moscow.) ))
However, in history, there are more people who use reserves differently, and let these troops that could have been used to turn the tide of the war be consumed on the battlefield in vain.
The ambiguity of Kongming's orders, Zhuge Yibu's intention, the pessimism of Demon Yisheng, and the ignorance of the Demon Venerable really created a battle situation that was difficult for both sides to control.
Sun Gongfeng and Haixing led hundreds of thousands of navies, including nearly 10,000 gods and hundreds of thousands of saints, what kind of powerful force is this? In the first wave of fire reconnaissance, under the deliberate cover of many god-level magic scrolls, many gods almost did not hesitate to shoot, which directly accelerated the destruction of the entire magic array, their behavior made Kong Ming's plan to use the teleportation array soldiers to kill the demon gods in the teleportation array without blood, which may be blamed on Kong Ming has not been clear to the commanders below, so that they directly misunderstood the meaning of the command, and the other is that the people in the command department do not agree with Kong Ming's method, you must know that killing the enemy on the battlefield is ironclad, you can see and touch, and like Kong Ming's method of letting the teleportation array kill the enemy, there are too many uncertainties, because they can't see it, so there is no way to prove something at all, they can only rely on speculation, and compared to the difficult work of the expedition to the demon world, they are more inclined to directly eliminate the demon's disaster, leaving a stable environment for future generations, and they also think that since Kong Ming wants to expedition to Zhongzhou, then don't attack any more demon world, in that case, not only will you not get a good effect, but there will not be a good result, after all, not everyone is like Kong Ming, who can easily control such a powerful army。 So many of them didn't say this to Kong Ming, but they had communicated with each other in private, which is why Zhuge Yibu inadvertently explained Kong Ming's meaning to the commander of the navy, he didn't want to go to the demon world. And Kong Ming is because of another thing, that is, in the face of the attack of the Demon Venerable, the matter is constantly being deduced, in order to find a way to survive from it, instead of passively waiting for other people's handouts, so for a while, his attention to the battlefield has dropped sharply, and he will win anyway, why should he think about it so much, not to mention that if he dies in this battle, such an ending may not be a bad thing, which is why he vaguely knows that the navy has gone against his original intention. The reason why he still didn't interfere, and Zhuge Yibu also took a fancy to this point, so he didn't explain his true meaning clearly.
Scenes of fierce battles were heard on the magic screen. Even Kong Ming, who was now thinking about dealing with the Demon Venerable, couldn't help but be stunned, raised his head to take a look, and then shook his head helplessly.
"Zhuge Gaoshen, you kicked me out of the door of the Yun family when I was a child, and made me hungry and cold outside for many years, now are you going to sell me again and let me be grateful to you again?" Kong Ming said with a smile. There is no such thing as grievances and hatred for the things of the past, but now the other party is willing to accompany him here as bait, which makes him a little moved. After all, in the army, this kind of friendship between life and death is the purest affection, and has nothing to do with any impurities. Zhuge Yibu knew that Kong Ming was just teasing him, so he didn't care too much about Kong Ming's accountability. Laughing: "Commander." I sold you back then, making you a commander of tens of millions of people, and today I sold you for a good price, just thinking that both of us can survive this battle, not to mention that this directly blocked the demon's entry into the continent's passage, and there will never be such a demonic disaster in the future, such a great merit is the foundation for you to survive!"
Zhuge Yibu was originally a prophet. There is a kind of guidance for many things in the future. It's just that prophecy is not only interfering with the realm of time, but also a kind of leakage of heavenly opportunities. So he will definitely pay a certain price, of course, if the heavenly machine needs him to leak it, he will also give him something, just like when he sold Kong Ming.
"I can't say you, if it's not your friend, but your enemy, I think you sold him, and he will help you count the money, but fortunately I have always rarely recalled the past, to trace the root of those tragic things, otherwise, I would have been sold by you more than ten times. Kong Ming laughed and said, since Zhuge Yibu served as the senior staff member by his side, he has indeed never felt sorry for Zhuge Yibu, although it is said that Kong Ming was kicked out of the Yun family because of him, but it may not be a result of the internal struggle of the Yun family, Zhuge Yibu's behavior is just to give others a reason to kick Kong Ming out.
"I could have done this when you were little, but if I had done it now, I think I would have been the first to die. Zhuge Yibu also smiled, the longer they get along, the more he understands Kong Ming, this commander who usually looks very kind, once he decides on a thing, if someone goes against his will, he can really tear people to pieces, after all, Kong Ming is a person who came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, where is there any woman's kindness to say?
"Come on, don't get cheap and sell well, alas, if there was no strong person of the level of the Demon Venerable to participate in this matter, then I would definitely not let you misinterpret my orders like this, but if we are still according to the plan at the beginning, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the people behind, after all, not everyone can see the favorable factors from the system in the demon world that is completely different from our world, and not everyone has the courage to do this kind of work, I am willing, others may not be willing!" Kong Ming sighed, he faintly heard the words of some people, so when he was about to face this unknown situation of life and death, he also gave up his previous thoughts.
Kong Ming's words let go of Zhuge Yibu's last wisp of worry, it turned out that he thought Kong Ming would be furious, but seeing Kong Ming's wind and clouds, he couldn't help but relax, and then it was tight, thinking that Kong Ming was not very confident in whether he could pass through the demon venerable, after all, it was an unknown existence, the unknown was terrible, once it appeared, after some time and experience, then that kind of myth would definitely be destroyed, but now it is obviously not possible, and Kong Ming can't hide, because once Kong Ming hides, then the disaster will be the entire expeditionary force。 Thinking of this, Zhuge Yibu shook his head again and sighed.
"Hehe, don't sigh, life and death are fateful, and you can't force it. Kongming's words came from the other side.
After a few days of fighting and the elimination of the blue devil, the demon ban has become very thin, as if the demon ban can be eliminated with a gentle push, and above the demon forbidden, countless expeditionary soldiers are looking at the demon camp in front of them that is covered by magic and spells and sword shadows, and Sun Gongfeng and Haixing are among them.
"Old Sun, after the fire reconnaissance that began. It seems that there should be no more powerful forces in the demon camp now, it seems that they really attacked recklessly yesterday, and it is strange that they have never seen such a battle. Could it be that their leader doesn't care if those demons live or die?" said Hai Xing, although he had always understood this since he had been fighting with demons, and the battle of Mingyuan Island had also made him truly appreciate the ruthlessness between demons, but every time he saw a similar situation, he still felt a little emotional. According to the old saying, my superiors regard me as dung, my superiors as enemies, and my superiors as brothers. I treat my superiors like family. Thinking about it, the relationship between the demons is also tense to death, and a bad one may be the end of death.
"That's right, Lao Hai is just an event now. Why don't we do a big vote?" Sun Gongfeng's eyes showed an extremely excited look. For him, the current attack is nothing more than fire reconnaissance, an active activity, and it does not enter the real theme at all.
"I heard that the commander figured out that Guò would attack the Demon Realm directly here. I'm trying to keep luring the demon gods to teleport over from the side of the demon world. Let the space directly kill those things, if we do a big vote, will it affect the commander's decision-making?" "Haixing still has an unimaginable fear of Kong Ming, after all, for him, the naval commander, it takes great courage to withdraw when he says to withdraw, so Kong Ming also left a lot of shadow in his heart.
"Lao Hai, are you scared? haha. It's not like you, if the commander intervenes. When we were scouting the fire just now, he would have come to give the order, but now you see, there is nothing at all, which means that the commander may have changed his mind now, and it is better to settle the matter while the commander is hesitating.
"Hmph, anyway, with you on top, what am I afraid of?"
"It's done!"
As the two commanders of the navy made this decision, the attack of the navy suddenly became fierce. Countless spells and spells, the sword shadow continued to attack above the magic array of the demon defense, and a colorful light covered the entire demon camp. These attacks make the magic array constantly shaking, as if the next moment will be directly broken, less than ten minutes, there is a layer of magic array destroyed, and the second layer is also broken in less than ten minutes, for the weakness of the demon's magic array, the expeditionary force has already figured out, so the destruction is also extraordinarily fast, this speed makes all the demons in the magic array look shocked, as if the next moment the magic array will be destroyed.
At the same time, under the interference of the peripheral space magic jammer, the effect of the two forces made the entire magic teleportation extremely difficult, and the countless demon gods who came from the teleportation were really not one in ten, and this time the teleportation could be said to be the death teleportation of the demon gods.
Demon Yiyuan looked at a demon god who was struggling out of the teleportation array with a black face, and the anger in his heart was extremely heavy, and at the same time, he could only sigh and be speechless: "How many of you have come, how many have died?"
There was an endless chill in his voice, and the demon god who came over hadn't recovered from the danger for a while, so he didn't answer his question, and he just wanted to scold him, but he was stopped by the gesture of the demon Yiyuan. After a while, the demon god finally recovered and said directly: "We have a group of ten gods, but only one of us has come, and the others have all died in the teleportation. Ahem, I almost can't get over, numb, the space inside is extremely unstable, and with a little divine power, it will lead to a burst of space. I barely dared to move, but, even so, I almost filled myself in to avoid a few gaps in the space. If I can't beat it, I'll have to skin that old thing!"
The voice of the Demon God contained endless resentment, and now that the Demon Venerable was not in front of him, he didn't point directly at any one, and he was not afraid of the Demon Venerable's revenge for a while. In front of the Demon Venerable, the Divine One is nothing, just a tool in his hand, and if he doesn't use it, he just throws it away, where he cares so much, let alone life and death.
"How many more demon gods are coming behind you?" Mo Yicheng asked, this is a question that he is very concerned about, because until before, those demons who transmitted information did not know how many demon gods on their side were coming, because the demon venerable not only had to give Mo Yicheng a desperate order, but also gave him an uncertain signal, otherwise, once Mo Yicheng knew the specific number of demon gods, then he might not even have the courage to fight, this was originally a way to control his subordinates, and it was also a very effective result under normal circumstances, but, obviously, the Demon Venerable used the wrong place, and he directly threw a lone army in a place that was not supported at all, did not allow them to retreat, and what made people even more speechless was that the number of enemy troops faced by this lone army was far from desperate. However, now it is a god who has come, and it is obviously a venerable who has an opinion about the Demon Venerable, so he can completely get a true answer, a credible number, and make the next battle plan based on this number. However, the god was destined to disappoint him.
"We have more than 10,000 gods in total, and we will come here in four days!" said the Demon Divine Being, and he noticed that when he said the previous number, the faces of the Demon Divine Beings and all the other Demon Divine Beings suddenly changed and became very ugly. There is no way to become not ugly, 10,000 gods, after coming, only one-tenth of the demon gods can reach here safely, and they are still injured, even if the probability of them coming over is a little higher, it is considered more than 2,000 demon gods, but there is still no way to face the more than 3,000 gods of the expeditionary force that are initially known, not to mention, it is just the exposed gods, and I don't know how many are hidden behind. At this moment, Mo Yicheng knew that he had to prepare a back road for himself, even if this back road was dangerous, he had to go, at least it was better than waiting for death here.
"What's wrong?" the demon god asked directly after seeing that the expressions of these leaders were wrong.
"Nothing, is this what His Holiness said?" asked after a momentary loss of color.
"It's all said by His Holiness, and His Holiness is still on the other side of the teleportation array, urging us to keep walking into the teleportation array. The Demon Divine Scholar said, this is a fact, there is no need for him to lie to these leaders, after all, there will be Demon Divine Beings coming later, and there is no need to lie about this kind of thing that can be exposed as soon as it is exposed.
"What else did His Holiness say?" asked the Demon Ichin quietly.
"Venerable is going to another teleportation array tomorrow and reach the Huatian Continent from there. ”
"Isn't he coming from here?" When they heard the news, all the demon leaders had a sudden sense of enlightenment, you must know that except for the two demon leaders who came over the list, except for the two demon leaders who came over, the demon venerable did not know the names of the other demon leaders, as long as they returned from the teleportation array and disappeared into the group of great demon gods, then they could escape, which was far better than waiting for death here or breaking through from the encirclement of the expeditionary force.
"It's too dangerous here, and he doesn't want to come from here. ”
"When is he leaving?"
"I don't know about that. ”
"It's hard work, you go and rest first, and we'll assign you a task later. ”
In the hall of the demon camp, all the demon leaders sat together, while the other demon gods were basically outside constantly using the magic array to resist the attacks of the expeditionary force. In the entire demon camp now, there is no longer that feeling of being overwhelmed by demons, except for some demons who are using the magic array to resist the attack of the expeditionary force, there are no superfluous demons.
"What do you think?" said after a long silence.
"We need a chance. ”
"A chance after the Demon Venerable left. (To be continued......)
