Volume II: The War of the Undead Chapter 62: Shine
This is a continent that worships force.
The Eternal Continent has magical fighting spirit and magic, and if you only talk about the overall strength of the soldiers, it is far superior to the ancient earth army countless times.
So it is undeniable that the overall military strength of this world is terrifyingly strong.
Even the Liszt Empire, which is only a medium-sized human country, has an army of more than 2 million, a navy of more than 1 million and an air force of 50,000.
That's a total of four million troops!
More than two million troops, half of them gathered on the Loya Line, confronted by the United Kingdom of Tifa across the Loya Mountains, guarding the western border of the Empire, under the command of each commander-in-chief of the Loya Fortress.
This term of commander-in-chief of the whole army is the youngest, the best, and the most popular among the military.
Just a few days after taking office, the strange woman who defeated the army of the United Kingdom of Tifa in a head-to-head confrontation, Chu Ruo!
The other half of the Liszt Empire's army was concentrated in the northern defense line of the empire, which was controlled by the Alpha family for generations.
The legendary military god Alpha Marshal retired with great achievements that year, leaving only his own family in the imperial capital. The Liszt royal family was grateful for the feat of the Alpha Marshal and supported the entire Alpha family.
After the rise of the Alpha family, they became the behemoths of the entire empire, dominating the political and economic spheres.
However, the Alpha family did not covet glory and wealth, and took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the northern region of the Liszt Empire to jointly rectify the chaos in the north and govern the entire north in an orderly manner.
Since the Alpha family guarded the northern frontier of the empire, they have gained the trust of the royal family, and apart from the annual taxation and appropriation matters, even the imperial family rarely asks about matters related to the northern frontier.
Probably, in a way, it is also the royal family's compensation for the great Alpha Marshal who does not ask for anything in return.
Of the more than 2 million troops, there were only 50,000 cavalry.
There are very few cavalry in this world, almost none to be exact, and there are very few of them.
Of course, it's not that there aren't many horse-like creatures similar to Earth in the Eternal Continent, but because the physical fitness of the soldiers is really good.
Even a junior warrior can run at a speed of about ten meters per second while carrying armor, not to mention a stronger swordsman or swordsmith, and many soldiers can advance at a speed of more than twenty meters per second.
And it's much easier for a person to control his body than it is to control a mount.
A fragile creature like a horse cannot withstand the fighting spirit of the soldiers on the battlefield, but will become an unstable factor because of its own panic.
And the slightly stronger monsters are a little disobedient, and humans are generally difficult to tame, once these monsters stumble on the battlefield, it is a major matter related to the survival of the country.
Therefore, the Liszt Empire made a bloody investment, but only domesticated 50,000 fierce battle lions, and recruited 50,000 strong men who were at least the strength of the great sword master to control it, and became an ace army of the imperial army.
This was the only cavalry of the Liszt Empire.
Together with the 50,000 Griffin Legions, the Liszt Empire's 50,000 air force, they form the most powerful elite force in the Empire, invincible and invincible!
In Chu Fan's view, most of the wars in this world are won by absolute force, because there are such a factor as the existence of such a heavy factor as the fighting spirit and the army battle formation that increases the fighting spirit, so it is very difficult to achieve an upset war in which the weak defeat the strong with the advantage of military law.
Generally speaking, the stronger the army battle formation, the stronger the overall strength of the army.
Compared to the technological content on the earth, it may be far inferior.
Unless a natural genius like Chu Ruo can control the overall situation in real time, and can understand every detail of the war in real time and respond accordingly, he can easily achieve victory with less and strong with weak in this world.
But it does not mean that the generals in this world are all fools, and in terms of leading troops to fight, actual combat experience is the most important.
For example, the army under the command of Liehu himself is definitely far stronger than the army led by a new general.
In this battle, the leader of the third-party formation in the northern sector is a general who has only experienced one actual battle, and although he has some experience, his ability to adapt to changes is much worse.
Seeing the other party's change of formation, he was a little stunned for a while, but he didn't drop the chain on the spot, and still confidently ordered the soldiers to charge according to the original plan, so as to respond to all changes.
Although the 10th Phalanx of the North District can survive for a long time every time and rank second, this does not mean that they have the strongest combat power.
On the contrary, he firmly believed that if they dared to collide with the army they were training, they would pay a terrible price.
"The whole army obeyed the order and accelerated the charge. ”
The soldiers are fast, slow down with action, and strike first!
This general, when he has an advantage in overall strength, is not wrong to think that he wants to break the enemy formation in one fell swoop.
But......
The 10th phalanx in the northern region is the army trained by the fierce tiger himself!
"Army Battle Formation Mode Activated!"
"Singular battalion, vindictive fusion, defense!"
"Double number battalion, vindictive fusion, attack!"
The peacock formation is fan-shaped, and if the rectangular military formation does not respond, then an embarrassing situation will be formed with more than a dozen in the front row.
In addition, with mental arithmetic and unintentional, soldiers who are good at defense will be included in the odd battalion, and soldiers who are good at offense will be included in the even battalion.
In an instant, the judgment is made!
The moment all the soldiers of the third formation in the northern region launched an attack hit the tenth phalanx in the northern district, it was like a heavy punch on the rubber sofa, and the speed immediately slowed down.
The 10th phalanx in the northern area is like the three lines of defense of the Luoya Fortress, and even the first barrier has not been breached!
In the third formation of the northern district, half of the soldiers' fighting spirit hit the opponent's defensive shield, and the other half of the soldiers encountered a more fierce attack than them!
The soldiers of the third-party formation in the northern district also felt that this encounter was very uncomfortable, and it was clear that all the soldiers on their side had tried their best to attack, but they were still firmly blocked by the other party, and even slowly pushed the situation back.
The first time the Peacock Array was used, it achieved great results!
In close combat, the enemy was directly taken by surprise, and the rhythm of the attack was instantly disordered.
Chu Fan was in the tenth phalanx of the Northern District, and he was also giving orders while using his fighting spirit to attack.
Seeing that he had an advantage in the war for the first time, Chu Fan's heart was still happy.
"War is fought with the brain. ”
"Singular battalion, turn to the offensive, the whole army attack!"
For a time, the third formation in the North District, which was out of rhythm, was fully attacked by the tenth phalanx in the North District!
And on the battlefield, one wrong step is one wrong step!
Directly attacking the peacock array with a rectangular phalanx is the first and biggest failure.
The speed at which the army dispersed was too slow, and the opponent was in a fan-shaped formation, causing the front row of the army to fight more with less, and one person alone against several people.
It's good if you can break down the enemy's battle formation in one fell swoop, but if you are blocked by the opponent's defense line, and the opponent receives another heavy hammer, it will be a devastating blow.
It's too late, it's too fast, on the battlefield, every moment is ever-changing.
Without waiting for the general of the third-party formation in the northern region to react, the army in front could no longer support it.
When the offensive was sluggish and the stamina was not received, the whole army that met the opponent pressed it with all its might, and the whole section collapsed.
The troops in front of the third-party formation in the northern district not only did not bring the soldiers in the rear forward, but blocked the footsteps of the soldiers in the rear, and the soldiers in the rear had to encounter the blows of the opponent's fan-shaped army from all directions while paying attention to spreading the formation.
In less than ten minutes, the defeat of the third formation in the northern district was clearly manifested, and as more and more soldiers fell, gradually the basic elements of the army's battle formation were broken, and the soldiers began to fight in a disorderly manner.
And the moment the army collapses, it means that the army is defeated.
Without the support of your own army's battle formation, no matter how powerful a soldier is, he will not be able to last a second in the face of the enemy's amplification battle array.
More and more people are falling in the third side of the North District, and the exponential function is growing rapidly.
It was the first time that Chu Fan had witnessed what it meant to be defeated in reality, and he was fortunately on the winning side.
After more than ten minutes, there was no longer a single soldier on the battlefield who was still standing and belonged to the third formation of the Northern District.
"Victory!"
Chu Fan roared excitedly, although it was just a simulation exercise, it was the first time in two lifetimes that Chu Fan had participated in such a large-scale war, and it was the first time he had won.
It's like a war on Earth.
No matter how strong an individual is, if the overall quality and tactics of the army cannot keep up, the battle will still be lost.
Even if you are the best in the world in terms of physical fitness and have the strongest equipment, what if you are given a tank and cannon.
You are being strafed by hundreds of soldiers with shotguns, and you are going to fall.
In war, it is always the team that wins.
The power of the individual is so small in war that it can be almost insignificant.
Unless you have nuclear weapons, or if you're a sword king or higher, try to challenge the majesty of the military. Otherwise, run away with your tail between your legs.
"Very well, you did not disappoint me. But this is only the first victory, and there may be more than one battle to fight next. ”
At this time, Liehu was already standing in front of the 10th phalanx in the northern district, but he had no intention of giving orders, and relied on several battalion commanders of the army to command the overall situation.
The same is true for the previous martial arts drills. The Fierce Tiger only explained the tactics before the battle, and the improvisation on the battlefield was left to the soldiers themselves.
Due to the complete crushing of the army's tactics, the 10th Phalanx of the Northern District only lost more than 1,000 combat strength after the victory in this battle.
It's almost a complete victory!
Even if Chu Ruolai led this battle, he might think of a more perfect coping strategy, but in terms of the loss of combat power, he shouldn't be much better than Liehu.
The tiger shook his neck and made a bone-clicking sound, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at the other army.
"Little bunnies, fight this battle!"
It was the first phalanx in the North District that was the first to end the battle and vaguely marched in this direction!
