Although Batulu is not very bright, he still abides by the rules of the world. "Shooting with arrows? Wouldn't it be a bit overwhelming?"
Before Changsheng could answer, Chen Liqiu spoke from the side and said with a smile, "This is a battlefield, not an arena. Do you still want to fight them alone?"
Although Chen Liqiu said it was indeed the truth, Batulu didn't like to hear it, "I've never been afraid of anyone when fighting alone."
Changsheng had been looking intently into the distance while Batulu and Chen Liqiu were talking. There were twenty-four purple energy masters sent by the rebels this time, eleven of them were human beings, and the other thirteen were all kinds of aliens, spiritual energy cultivators. Jushan is mostly lavender, accounting for about half, and the other half is deep purple Taixuan and Ziqi Dongyuan.
"When will I notify my elder brother to send out troops for a decisive battle?" Zhang Mo asked in a low voice.
"After you defeat these purple energy masters in front of you, my senior brother and third senior brother will accompany you back." Changsheng raised his voice as he spoke, "These purple energy masters in front of you were all invited by Yang Shouliang from different places. Although there are many people, but they are not united, they are just a ragtag crowd and are nothing to be afraid of.”
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before saying again, "It is impossible for these people to be in the same boat as the rebels. Once they see that the situation is not going well, they will immediately disperse. We will start later. We don't want to catch them all in one fell swoop, we just want to drive them away." "
After hearing Chang Sheng's words, everyone nodded. Chang Sheng's words are indeed reasonable. If they insist on killing the opponent quickly when they attack, they will definitely make these purple energy masters jump over the wall and fight with all their strength. The direct consequence will be to increase their own casualties.
At this time, the enemy's purple energy masters had arrived five miles away. Seeing that the fighting in the camp had stopped and the vanguard troops were re-arranged, someone raised their spirits and shouted, "Where is the enemy now?"
Hearing the shouts from the west, everyone on his side smiled. Batulu didn't know why and asked doubtfully, "Can they not see us?"
"Of course we can see it," Chang Sheng said casually, "but there are more than 200,000 rebels. The Qi practitioners accompanying the army are from different places and are not familiar with each other. Therefore, although they saw us, they did not Don’t know who we are.”
Since he was able to advance to the purple energy, he would not be a fool. Logically speaking, the people who came to help should have noticed something was wrong, but the more than twenty purple energy masters working for the rebels did not notice anything unusual and continued to raise their energy. Accelerating, rushing towards Changsheng and others.
Four miles, three miles, two miles, one mile, actually one mile away, the visitors could clearly see the figure and appearance of Changsheng and others, but they still didn't think much about it. It's not because they are stupid, but they never would have thought that their thirty thousand vanguards were fighting bloody battles one moment, and then turned their backs on the battlefield and rebelled the next moment.
Seeing Changsheng and others standing in front of the formation, not saying a word from beginning to end, many of the people who had asked questions before were angry and shouted, "Are you deaf when I ask you this question?"
"You don't recognize me?" Changsheng asked coldly.
"Who the hell are you?" the man asked angrily.
"Brother, something seems wrong." Someone finally became suspicious.
Although they heard what their companions said, the others still did not expect that their vanguard troops would turn against them and continued to rush eastwards.
In the blink of an eye, a group of purple energy masters from the rebels entered the shooting range of bows and arrows. Changsheng raised his energy and made a sound, ordering the archers to open their bows and release arrows.
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the enemy's purple energy masters who came to the rescue were instantly filled with dead souls. Until this moment, they still didn't expect that these 30,000 soldiers and horses had been persuaded by Chang Sheng to surrender. They just thought that they couldn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and they recognized the wrong person, and they shouted loudly in anger. Swear and identify yourself.
The archers didn't listen to their shouts. They had just surrendered to the imperial court and were eager to make meritorious deeds. After hearing Changsheng's order, they immediately bent their bows, nocked arrows, and shot westward.
When archers in the army shoot arrows, they do not shoot straight ahead, but high up in front. This has two benefits. One is to use the lift of the air to increase the range of the arrow, and the other is to use the weight of the arrow to increase the arrow's range. Because of the overwhelming power of the arrows, there is no need to deliberately aim when shooting the bow. You only need to shoot the arrows with great force. As for who the arrows hit after falling, it all depends on luck.
It wasn't until they saw the archers in the front firing arrows into the sky that the people who came to help were frightened. Before the arrows hit the ground, they turned around in panic and retreated quickly.
As the saying goes, no eggs are left behind when a nest is overturned. After an overwhelming rain of arrows, almost all the enemy masters who came to the rescue were spared. More or less, they were all hit by arrows. Due to the different levels of spiritual energy cultivation, the reaction speed was faster. Some were slow, and the injuries suffered were also different. Some only had one or two hits, while some had injuries almost all over their backs.
After the archers fired a round of arrows, Changsheng immediately shouted an order and ordered the archers to stop firing arrows. Although the archers could pose a threat to the purple energy master, they could only pose a threat to the opponent after they entered the range of the bow and arrow. Now After a round of lasing, all the enemy's purple energy masters had retreated beyond the range of their bows and arrows.
When his own archers stopped firing arrows, Changsheng immediately ordered Batulu and others to chase and intercept. Zhang Mo on the side also wanted to jump out, but Changsheng stretched out his hand and pulled him back.
Zhang Mo didn't know why, and frowned and looked at Changsheng. Changsheng didn't explain in words, but just looked back at the thousands of soldiers and horses behind him.
Zhang Mo instantly understood that the reason why Chang Sheng did not go out to charge and did not let her participate in the pursuit was because he was worried that after everyone on his side left, these newly surrendered soldiers would lose restraint and rebel again.
The previous round of arrow rain had injured all the enemy Purple Qi masters, but they were all Purple Qi masters, and among them there were many aliens with extraordinary talents who could cast magic spells. The mere arrow injuries could not damage their fundamentals. Moreover, the enemy had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. If they turned around and counterattacked at this time, with three against one, it would be difficult for the big head and others to take advantage. However, something unexpected happened, and all the enemy's purple energy masters were shocked. He had no fighting spirit at all, and when he saw Datou and the others coming to kill them fiercely, he turned around and ran away out of instinct.
Whether it's a fight or a war, it's all about morale. If the two sides fight for their lives, it's unclear who will win. But if one of the parties is defeated and retreats, the situation will be completely out of control and one-sided, which is what the world calls a mountainous defeat. fall.
In fact, it is not just about marching and fighting, it is like this in all things. Protecting yourself wisely and avoiding cowardly cannot reduce your own losses. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The more you evade in fear and want to reduce losses, the more the other party will push forward and have no scruples. The losses will be greater.
The correct approach is to dare to face difficulties and risk your life no matter how bad the situation is or how powerful the opponent is, so that the opponent will be wary and not dare to bully others too much. Only in this way can one's own losses be minimized.
It is the nature of all living creatures, including humans, to bully the weak and fear the strong. It makes the opponent think that one is very weak and poses no threat to the opponent, cannot protect oneself, and will never be able to achieve anything even if he endures hardship. Only by letting the opponent know that you also have the ability to hurt him can you gain the respect of the opponent and eliminate possible bullying and humiliation.
A group of people running and a group of people chasing would not have any suspense, or even decent resistance. Datou and the others also kept in mind Chang Sheng’s previous instructions, not seeking total annihilation, but only seeking to escape, so after chasing for more than ten miles , everyone on our side turned around and returned.
When everyone on his side returned, Chang Sheng immediately ordered Batulu to drive Zhang Mo to his army camp on a fire unicorn. Worried about being intercepted on the way, Chang Sheng ordered Chen Liqiu to accompany him for protection.
"When will those two boxes of big firecrackers be released?" Batulu was always thinking about the two boxes of sky-shaking fire thunder.
"Okay, take it with you..."
