Ge Xuanbai thought for a while and said: "Stop guessing. This person can run to save the Sui Master. Can you judge it with common sense? Do your best and listen to fate."
He turned around again and called a dozen or so people in a low voice. There are probably about a thousand people left in this cellar, which is the strength of two battalions. Logically speaking, there should be at least two commanders, eight or nine hundred generals, and a dozen or ten generals. But Rakshasa also knew the tactics of the Six Nations Army, so the first thing he did after capturing the prisoners was to find and kill the commanders at all levels.
Among the thousand people now, only Ge Xuanbai and Ding Min had served as officers. When they were captured, both men were covered in wounds and fainted, but they escaped unhurt. The importance of officers in the Six Nations Army lies not only in command, but also in that the officers themselves have a higher level.
The Rakshasa in such a camp, wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword, are extremely powerful and fearless of death. Even the most well-equipped people are no match for them in the field. However, Rakshasa is only brave and cannot practice magic. Therefore, when he has to fight in the field, officers can use magic as a supplement to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses. In this way, even if you can't defeat them, you won't be defeated by the opponent.
Most of the officers with advanced training were killed when they were captured before. During the last incident, Ge Xuanbai and Ding Min temporarily found some capable officers and taught them some command and coordination methods. But even so, all these people died after the last failure.
What is in front of them now can only be regarded as the spiritual enlightenment realm. It is absolutely impossible for them to use spells on the battlefield to cooperate with the attack. The only effect is to calm people's hearts. Ge Xuanbai assigned tasks to each of them, telling them to organize people first and enforce discipline to prevent leaks like last time.
When he said this, the dozen or so people listened extremely seriously, and it seemed that they didn't even dare to say a single word. After the last defeat, everyone felt certain to die. But today they suddenly had enough to eat and had some hope, so they really wanted to make a last ditch effort. But looking at the expressions of these people, Ge Xuanbai slowly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
He used to be a town army rather than a frontier army. He did not have much actual combat experience. When he was in Hezhou, he was mostly responsible for training troops, transporting food, and conducting surveillance. At most, he sometimes exterminated small groups of bandits and said he wanted to command More than a thousand people were fighting against Rakshasa, and he had no confidence at all. What's more, what Li Boxen sent were only some wooden guns. Using such "weapons" to deal with the heavily armored Rakshasa was actually no different from committing suicide. The few people in front of him should know this, but there is no fear on their faces.
Such a good man ended up like this. It's not that the soldiers are useless, but once they leave the fortified city, they really can't fight the demon army in the wild. Now that Tushan's front line has been broken, the monsters and Rakshasa have moved south. Can the south be defended? If you can't defend it, who is to blame? He had just told Ding Min to "do all the human things". If he still couldn't win despite doing all the human things, was it destiny that people would die at the hands of Rakshasa and monsters? Does it mean that people are not as good as these barbarians from the Demon Kingdom? Whose fault is this result?
He sighed inwardly, telling himself not to think about these useless things, and instead focused his gaze on the wooden pole hidden in the snow beside him. He grabbed it and held it in his palm, and continued: "... By then Zhiyas has already used the command once, and he will definitely not be able to use it a second time. Then if we can break out of the camp, Rakshasa will definitely not be able to use it again. They will catch up immediately. Based on what we know about them these days, they will kill their comrades in the camp first, and this will delay them for a long time."
Everyone gritted their teeth and nodded slightly. It takes a long time because the lack of restraint of the Rakshasa will eat after killing someone.
"As much as you can rush out. Don't wait like last time." Ge Xuanbai whispered, "Two miles to the east, there is a mountain ridge along the river. Did you all see it when you were escorted here? Rush No matter how many people go out, they must leave a team of 100 people to guard the entrance of the ridge and form a gun formation. After passing this ridge, I remember that there are two places with dangerous terrain that can be defended by setting up formations. When the time comes, I will lead people to guard the first place. There is a ridge entrance and two places behind, which one of you will come?"
You can't keep it. The only function is twofold - first use this wooden pole to form a spear formation, which may last a quarter of an hour. But Rakshasa lifted his mask and charged with a sword, and the wooden spear array was about to be overwhelmed. Then comes the second role of these people. Their corpses can be eaten, which may delay the attack even longer than the formation of the formation.
After everyone hesitated for a while, Ding Min said, "I'll bring someone to guard the second lane."
He spoke, and three more people came forward. Ge Xuanbai breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Okay, that's it."
The battle has not yet begun, but the people who will die must first be assigned. This made him feel very uncomfortable, so he subconsciously tightened his grip on the wooden pole and pressed his thumb firmly against it. After feeling a slight pain in his palm, he opened his mouth and assigned the next task. But after only saying one word, Ge Xuanbai suddenly let out a sigh and lowered his head to look at the wooden pole in his palm.
The only light came from the torch outside the wooden wall, and Ge Xuanbai couldn't see clearly the details of the wooden pole. But he knew that what he felt just now was right - his nails had been made thick and hard by practicing martial arts for many years. No matter what kind of wood it was, if he pressed hard with his fingers, it would inevitably leave a mark. But just now when he subconsciously pressed the wooden pole again, instead of feeling a subtle dent, his fingernails were painfully pressed against it, as if he was pressing a piece of iron.
Ding Min said: "What's wrong?"
Ge Xuanbai frowned and looked outside the wall. Seeing that no Rakshasa noticed them, he lifted one end of the wooden pole and cut it with one palm.
The wooden pole bent down sharply and bounced back up, causing a pain on the edge of his palm. Several people couldn't help but let out a low cry when they saw this scene. They went to check the wooden poles around them and found that they were all the same as the one in Ge Xuanbai's palm. After looking at each other, Ding Min said: "What is this man's background? General Ge, was he really just a border army commander in the past?"
Ge Xuanbai was stunned for a moment, but said: "No matter what his background is, this thing in his hand is definitely right. Everyone, there may be a glimmer of hope tonight."
Li Boxen came back half an hour later and told Ge Xuanbai about the arrangements for the other three cellars. At this time, the trouble in the west of the camp not only did not subside, but became more serious. The three third-level monsters retreated further back, but instead of giving way, they drove a large number of second-order monsters forward. Even if you have never dealt with monsters, you know that this is an attitude that tends to attack.
Zhigas couldn't sit still anymore and jumped out of the barracks while yelling. The two soldiers beside him took off their swords from behind, and the three of them rushed towards the west. If there was a Rakshasa blocking the road without his eyesight, the soldiers would kill them with one blow, killing several of them in a short time.
Ge Xuanbai said at the wall: "He may be going to take action. Either fight with the monsters, or use magical powers to restrain his subordinates. General Li, there must be an uprising tonight, don't miss the opportunity!"
Li Boxen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."
