Chapter 24: Doubt
Chapter 24: Confusion
The Fenghou Eight Formation Map is not a simple battle formation in the cold weapon era, nor is it the so-called battle formation that specializes in the cooperation of various types of troops or position guarding battles. After Chu Hao's analysis, the Fenghou Eight Formation Map is more similar to the combination of psychological tactics and space usage methods, etc.
The eight teams have three behaviors: attack, defense, and retreat. The creatures on the battlefield actually have one of the most obvious characteristics, that is, they will subconsciously attack the enemy closest to them. In this case, if the target he chose in advance suddenly retreats, the attacking party will inevitably subconsciously chase. Of course, if they cannot catch up, then they will definitely choose the target closest to them to attack, that's all.
The Fenghou Eight Formation Diagram actually takes advantage of this psychological feature. The eight teams cooperate with each other, the outermost team retreats, the middle team conducts feint attacks, and finally the team defends. In this way, the enemy's vision and attack hierarchy will be disturbed without realizing it, causing the opponent to fall into the rhythm and range of the Fenghou Eight Formation Diagram.
There is another point that the Fenghou Eight Formation Map is not afraid of the number of enemies being greater than that of our own. This battle formation contains an understanding of how to use space. Moreover, because this is not a simple military battle formation in the era of cold weapons, it involves more of the psychological and spatial scope. Therefore, the Fenghou Eight Formation Map can also be used in modern warfare. The larger the scope, the more people the battle, the better the effect. On the contrary, when the number of people is small, such as eight people practicing the Fenghou Eight Formation Map, it will not show any effect.
This is Chu Hao's military strategy, this is Chu Hao's trump card!
After the war, more than 1,000 dwarves died, including more than 500 dwarves civilians who died of trampling on each other, while the death toll of orc wolf cavalry was more than 20,000, and the war loss ratio reached an astonishing fifteen to one!
Almost all the dwarf soldiers were confused. They had never fought such a battle. They were obviously confused by the raid. They were obviously at the level of smaller numbers and lower combat power. The terrain here was obviously the orcs had the advantage. They actually won with all kinds of time, geography, and people and people had no advantages. And it was such an almost absolute victory way to win. How could this... be possible?
In fact, not only the dwarves found it incredible, but also the members of the Arctic Continent team who saw the entire battlefield through mental scanning were shocked. They had mental scanning and could clearly see how the entire battle situation changed. From the beginning, there was no hope or chance of victory. However, when Chu Hao entered the formation, the entire battle situation seemed to have changed under the invisible giant hand. In the end, it was such a result. Even if everyone in the Arctic Continent team who had watched the entire battlefield had just read it, and they didn't understand it. That is, although they couldn't understand what you were saying, they completely interpreted the appearance of what they thought was so powerful...
As for the blasphemer Asog, he was angry and crazy, with incredible terror. Even if he was not a strong personal combat power, he was a qualified commander. He had experienced countless battle formations. You should know that the orcs are not humans or dwarfs or elves. The orcs are also completely in the jungle. Asog was not the commander of the orcs at the beginning. He also climbed up from the bottom. He had experienced wars with various races and had been defeated, but never once was like this time. No matter how you think or think, this battle should have been a complete victory for the orc army, and the Turin dwarfs were completely exterminated, but the result completely subverted his imagination.
The most terrifying thing is that in the past, he at least knew why he was defeated, such as insufficient troops, poor geography, sneak attacks, and the opponent was too well equipped, etc. But this time, he didn't even know why he was defeated, and he had a complete victory. As a result, he was defeated suddenly. More than half of his troops died and more escaped. He had to spend a lot of effort to gather these troops... But how did he lose in the battle?
Cavalry, well, orcs and wolf cavalry are cavalry after all, and the tactics of cavalry are speed and impact. The pressure of thousands of troops at the same time is enough to directly collapse the third and fourth-rate army. In fact, from ancient times to the present, there are very few real cavalry battles. Most of them are pursuit wars or harassment wars. Or they take advantage of the melee and then drive the enemy defeated soldiers into the enemy formation by driving them to break the formation and let the cavalry collide with tight defenses. That is really killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred themselves. According to the preciousness of ancient cavalry and the cheapness of infantry, almost no commander would do this.
The blasphemer Asog's plan was to expel the dwarves and defeated soldiers and civilians. He occupied the geography and people's harmony, and then attacked and fought. As long as the dwarves were defeated, they would immediately fall like a mountain collapse. Not to mention dwarves, even elves, humans, or wizards present, they could not save them. At that time, this place was in a swamp, and the dwarves could not escape, and they could not resist. At that time, even gods could not save the Turin dwarves.
But...how did you lose!? This is really unscientific!
In the dwarf camp, the carnival continued, the dwarf's military and people's hearts stabilized, and they became increasingly recognized and worshipped Chu Hao. After this battle, at least before reaching Gushan, the only supreme leader of the entire Turin dwarf lineage could be Chu Hao.
At this moment, Chu Hao took advantage of the post-war fatigue and turned down all the invitations and compliments from the dwarves, and only took members of the Arctic Continent team to stay in his tent. After all, he immediately said: "The situation this time is simply terrible."
After hearing this, Zhang Heng immediately teased and said, "How could that be? You are so majestic this time. By the way, tell us how you won? It's like playing magic. We watched with our own eyes defeat, but why did we suddenly surrounded the orcs and then suddenly win? This is simply too cool, so handsome. Let's discuss it, teach me the art of war, and how about I teach you how to shoot archery?"
Chu Hao directly ignored Zhang Heng's funnyness, and he said to the others seriously: "This time the orc army is coming, we are actually in a very dangerous situation. As I expected, if the God Squad and the Orcs united together, they should have inevitably appeared in this battle, but the God Squad did not appear. This situation... is very dangerous."
"Recalling all our intelligence and clues again, we will find that since we left Blue Mountain, we have been different from our plans and speculations. First of all, the orc army appeared in a different location, the timing of the occurrence was wrong, and even this sneak attack that was completely beyond our expectations was completely wrong. No matter what guess is, we will get a completely contradictory result. We have fallen into a trap of misunderstanding, which is a very dangerous thing."
At this time, the rest of the people came back to their senses from the question of why they won the previous battle. Ochi asked first: "I'm also very surprised. Who blocked my mental power scan before? Is it the Gods Squad? Then why didn't they attack us while the orc army was superior? And when the orc army was slaughtered, they were missing. Could it be that they abandoned the orc army?"
"It's not a question of abandoning." Chu Hao shook his head and said, "No matter how you think about it, the relationship between the God Squad and the Orcs can only be mutually exploited, but not ally. After all, the God Squad is a reincarnation team no matter how it is. The Orcs belong to the chaotic and evil camp in this world. If they are evil in order, they can still form an alliance. The chaotic and evil... can only be exploited."
"Not mentioning these, there are three key points now. First, how did the Gods Squad know our situation? First, we are in Blue Mountain, and second, we instigated the Blue Mountain dwarves to go to Gushan. If the Gods Squad did not know these two points, then they would not be able to let the orcs wait for us here. The first key point is, in what way did the Gods Squad get our location and information?"
"Second, what is the mission of the Gods Squad? If you think about it carefully, the key points of the plot are nothing more than going to Gushan, sniping Soling Gandalf, killing the Fire Dragon, obtaining the Heart of the Mountain, or obtaining several types of Rings. Of course, the task of resurrecting the Dark Demon Lord Soren is also possible, but no matter how you think about it, these tasks cannot allow them to snipe us here. So what exactly makes them do this? Just to kill us?"
"The third question is derived from the second question, and it is also the biggest question so far... Why don't they take the opportunity to attack us!? With mental blocking, affirmation of our existence, advantage of the battle situation, and advantage of the strength of the Reincarnation Team, this is the best time to eliminate us. Even if their mission has nothing to do with us, eliminating so many of us is enough to get them rich reward points and side plots. So... what is the reason why they did not attack us!?"
When Chu Hao said this, his face was already extremely gloomy. He murmured: "What exactly do the Gods Team... want to do? What exactly are they hiding!?"
