Chapter 683: The Art of War
In this way, Long Yi got a thousand soldiers. When these soldiers arrived, Long Yi first conducted a series of inspections on them, and found that these soldiers' su zhì were very average, whether it was physical or spell ability, it was definitely at a lower than average level. It seems that the high-ranking is stupid enough to give Long Yi a good soldier.
But Ryuichi didn't care. The more such a soldier is, the more he can prove that Ryuichi's theory is correct.
Didn't you say that I don't understand the art of war? Okay! Then I'll give you a simple and rude one! Let you see how I, a man who doesn't know the art of war, crush you!
First of all, Ryuichi tailors these people, and he redesigns the armor and weapons for the soldiers. New runes have been added to the armor that was originally able to reduce spell damage by 50%, which not only further increases the spell defense to 60%, but also increases the cast speed by 10%!
Don't underestimate this 10% cast reduction, which means you can cast more spells per unit of time!
Once upon a time, these soldiers used staffs. And now Ryuichi has replaced his ordinary staff with gloves. The staff is large and inconvenient to carry, so it can be stuffed into private space in normal times, but once the war starts, you can only run with the staff. And Long Yi replaced the staff with gloves, which is not only more comfortable, but also can carve more magic circles, ensuring that the strength of each spell cast will increase by 10%!
Of course, while these "equipment" were being manufactured, Ryuichi did not let these warriors idle. Instead, he trained them in physical fitness and hand-to-hand combat. For a month, Long Yi didn't plan to teach a group of mage fighters. In fact, Long Yi just figured out a way to improve the combat consciousness of these soldiers in disguise. You know, martial arts will improve their physical coordination. As a mage. They rarely have the opportunity to exercise like this.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and today. It was also the day when the duel was held as agreed.
On a plain outside the Imperial City, the two teams had already made preparations. Just wait for an order. The showdown has officially begun!
There were only a thousand people on Long Yi's side, and in the distance, a team of 10,000 people lined up, which was the intention to completely surround and eat up Long Yi's team of 1,000 people.
The viewing platform was suspended in the air, and Saint Danze and Long Yi sat side by side, while the top of the army fighting against Long Yi sat on the other side of the emperor.
"No matter who wins or loses today, the two of you must value peace. The Emperor spoke. The emperor was worried that someone would be unforgiving if he won, and eventually stiffen the relationship, whether it was the top military officials. Or Long Yi, this is what Saint Danze values very much.
"Don't worry, if he loses, I promise not to laugh at him. Long Yi said with a smile.
"Please rest assured, although I think Mr. Ryuichi will lose, I will never say anything sarcastic. The other party said.
"Okay, then, the battle begins!"
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the battle below immediately began.
Teams of 10,000 men began to slowly advance and cast defensive spells en masse. is the standard action for the Legion of Spells to attack. However, instead of casting a defensive spell, Ryuichi's thousand-man legion cast a tailwind for himself, speeding up his movement, and the entire team rushed towards the side of the outsider's team.
"Huh. Is this going to eat my team from one end?" said the military high-ranking officials beside the emperor with a smile, as if they had seen through it.
"yes, that's standard practice. Ryuichi also said with a smile.
on the battlefield. The 10,000-man team began to change formation, and one end immediately met the 1,000-man team. And the other end began to surround itself. As long as it forms a circle, it can swallow this team of 1,000 people in an instant.
However. The 1,000-strong team is remarkably flexible.
They move fast and cast spells faster. Thought that Ryuichi had changed his staff into a glove, so they could cast spells at any time. Ordinary soldiers, on the other hand, usually keep their staffs in their private space to maintain their flexibility, and once they enter battle, they take them out of their private space to cast spells. Although this step does not take long, even a small difference is enough to change the shape of the battlefield in a certain way. And the intuitive embodiment of this change is that I ran away immediately after casting the spell, and my spell fell on you. But by the time you fought back, I was out of here.
Although it didn't feel anything wrong at first, after this happened a few times, people suddenly realized that this team of 1,000 people had amazing flexibility. Moreover, this is still based on the premise of not sacrificing the lethality of the spell.
After several pulling battles, this team of 1,000 people actually managed to go around the rear of the team of 10,000 people, and at this time, the team of 10,000 people had not even completed the encirclement! At this moment, the entire team of 10,000 people was in chaos. The huge number of people brought about a procrastinating formation change, and while the formation changed, the attack of the thousand-man team never stopped!
Touch!
The shield of a soldier in a team of 10,000 people was broken, and the next spell fell directly on him, and despite the armor reduction, the soldier was still knocked to the ground.
"How could this be! The shield was broken so quickly?" several military executives looked down in disbelief.
"How much damage did the shield absorb?" another high-ranking member hurriedly asked, believing that the level of shield cast by the soldier was not enough, and it disappeared prematurely before it could absorb enough damage.
"The shield absorbs enough damage!Each time the other side casts spells, it far exceeds the amount of damage that the average soldier can do!" a battlefield observer reported.
"It can't be! I didn't give him a good soldier!" yelled a high-ranking officer.
"Oh, you know it's not a good soldier for me. The dragon smiled.
An embarrassed smile immediately appeared on the executive's face.
Yes, when Long Yi said that he wanted a thousand soldiers, they all drew people from the lower middle of their army to form this team of 1,000 people. Although everyone knew it, Long Yi didn't say anything. Now that they were pointing it out themselves, the atmosphere was immediately slightly awkward.
"Actually, I knew from the beginning that the soldiers you gave me were of average strength, but I didn't care. As long as you don't give me a rookie who doesn't know anything, I have a way to make him exert ten times more power on the battlefield than ordinary soldiers! And a thousand such soldiers fight 10,000 soldiers like you, it is not a problem at all. Long Yi said very confidently.
"Mr. Long Yi, what you said is a bit excessive, just now it was just a small mistake by one of my soldiers. Don't forget, although I have fallen one soldier, there are still nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine on the battlefield!"
"Rest assured, they'll all fall soon. ”
Long Yi's inexplicable self-confidence made several high-ranking military officials unhappy, but on the battlefield below, the thousand-strong team really showed amazing combat ability. In fact, their usual training and combat skills were no different from their enemies at this time. The only difference, that is, the equipment. With their new equipment, they move faster, cast spells faster, have more powerful spells, and are more protected against spells. A little bit of these advantages can add up to the weight on the balance of victory.
One by one, the men on the 10,000-man squad began to fall, and as more and more people fell, the faces of the military top brass began to sweat. Until now, none of Ryuichi's thousand-strong team had fallen.
"Surrender and lose half. Ryuichi suddenly spoke.
The eyes of all the top military officials immediately turned red.
"Surrender?
Suddenly, more tactical arrangements were laid out. And Long Yi stood still. There are only these people in total, and the strength of both sides is like this, as long as you don't complete the encirclement, any tactics will eventually fall on the spell duel.
The thousand-man team has always maintained a high-speed mobile combat method, which is also one of the standard combat methods of the mage army, but there has never been a battle that has maintained high-speed mobile combat all the way like this. You must know that the biggest problem with the mage team is the problem of the body. These soldiers usually train in spells at most, and don't pay much attention to physical training. And Long Yi led the team for a whole month of physical training, which improved his endurance and body coordination to a certain extent. Maybe it's not much, but a little bit from here, a little bit from there, and all kinds of improvements add up to crush the enemy.
As time passed, the speed of the thousand-man team slowed down. However, the military's gaze became more solemn, because the military suddenly found that its own team had been completely disorganized.
Because the thousand-strong team always maintained a high-speed and mobile combat mode, and the 10,000-strong team tried to surround them and eat them in one bite. This is not realistic, because a team of 10,000 people will have a big problem with the ability to coordinate alone! At this point, hundreds of people have already fallen on one side of the 10,000 team. There are not many of them, but there are already problems with the formation.
"Divide the team!" At the sound of an order, the original 10,000-person group was gradually divided into five teams. Each team has a commander to lead the team, which completely solves the problem of uncoordinated team actions. The five teams went to pursue and surround the thousand-man regiment separately, which was much more efficient.
At this time, the military looked at Long Yi proudly, but found that Long Yi just smiled slightly.
"I think you're overthinking. Long Yi said, "If you were able to rely on the numerical advantage at the beginning, now you don't even have the numerical advantage." ”
As he spoke, a fierce spell battle broke out below. It turned out that those Dragon First Legions, who were originally engaged in mobile combat, suddenly rushed into a team of two thousand people and launched a fierce melee spell attack. And the other teams were still far away! It turned out that Ryuichi's legion used mobility to pull a 2,000-strong regiment down into the distance, and then immediately launched a close combat. The legions in the distance were afraid of accidentally injuring their allies, so they had no way to provide spell support at all, so they could only speed up.
But when they arrived, the Dragon First Legion had already broken away from the battle and was far away.
And that group of 2,000 people was wiped out in a short period of time! (To be continued...... R1292
