The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 396 The Best Tactics
The bronze bull warrior was the first to gallop across the snow, followed by the panting war blood bandits.

Due to the long journey, the marching team of nearly a hundred people was extremely long, nearly two miles long.

If it were a normal human army, the organization of such a team would have fallen apart long ago, and there would definitely be a lot of deserters.

However, the army composed of War Bloods does not have such worries. Most of the time, War Bloods are not troubled by the cowardice, fear, worries and other emotions commonly found in ordinary human soldiers. Their only purpose in stepping onto the battlefield is to create killing.

So in a sense, Warbloods are the purest violence machines in the world.

There are generally only two situations in which deserters appear in the army of War Bloods.

One is that an irresistible enemy appears on the battlefield. In front of such an opponent, the War Bloods can only be slaughtered and crushed in despair, but cannot enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering the enemy.

In this situation, the Warbloods will inevitably become frightened and flee from the battlefield even more cowardly than a Fart Spirit.

Another situation is that the original team can no longer satisfy the Warbloods' brutal desires. They are desperate for more fighting opportunities, and then they will leave the team to find the next home.

Of course, sometimes the war bloods are just attracted by the battles on the roadside, and they temporarily leave the team to enjoy the joy of burning, killing and looting alone, and then they will return to their original team.

For the war bloods, this kind of "desertion" is a very common occurrence.

Among the Bronze Bull Warriors' team, the War Bloods at the back of the team are not only the weakest group, but they also have the least chance to enjoy the pleasure of killing.

These low-level "slippers" are also the ones who like to desert their posts the most.

So when a lame high elf jumped out of the snow den and ran away madly, the three panting war blood disciples' eyes lit up. They did not notify their companions in front, but signaled to each other, then turned around and chased after the lame high elf.

High precision!
That is the favorite prey of the war bloods.

After all, the individual strength of the High Elfs is very strong. Once a High Elf is killed, the glory and satisfaction gained by the War Bloods are incomparable to slaughtering ordinary opponents.

Of course, if the high elf that slipped past them was a complete warrior, then the three lowest-level war blood disciples would never overestimate their own abilities, and they would call on more companions to hunt her down.

The interesting thing is that this is a wounded prey, a lame high spirit.

Such prey is definitely a rare opportunity for the lower-level war bloods.

The three war bloods rushed over a steep slope with great excitement, and then found that the injured high elf was squatting on the top of the slope and smiling at them.

Before these three confused unlucky guys could figure it out, six high elves jumped out from the surrounding snow nests.

With two against one per person, the individual strength of the high-level elites is mostly better than that of these low-level war bloods.

So the three unlucky guys didn't even have the chance to shout "The high elves have no martial ethics" before they were hacked to death.

Lure the enemy, ambush, and surprise attack.

Tactics don’t matter how complicated they are, as long as they are useful.

The high elves repeated the same method more than ten times, and soon they lured and killed nearly forty war bloods without any casualties on their own side.

The High Elves had never slaughtered the Warbloods as easily as they did today.

If a team of nearly forty war bloods rushed forward at once, they would be enough to overwhelm the seven high elves several times.

Even if the two sides fought a one-on-one duel, the high elves would not be able to outlast the other side.

But now, Ergou only provided a simple little tactic, and the high elves discovered that it was so simple to eliminate the war blood cliques.

Ergou was not with the high-precision tactical team. After he demonstrated the tactical process for them, he brought some little goblins to the front to lure the enemy.

The team led by the Bronze Bull Warrior was a team of less than a hundred men, but such a team was enough to destroy a high-elf village with perfect defensive measures.

If they huddle together, Ergou and the other high elves will not be able to do anything to the enemy no matter how many tricks they have.

Only by forcing the enemy to run can we have the opportunity to gradually destroy them during the movement.

Ergou remembered all the tactics of mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, etc. used by the great men of previous lives.

Only in this kind of pursuit and escape game is the control of marching speed by both sides the most critical.

For example, Ergou cannot run too fast to avoid being unhooked by the enemy.

The short-legged and slow goblins also have their own uses. They act as the rout soldiers that paralyze the enemy.

Every time the Bronze Bull Warrior chased for a while, he would find some goblins fleeing in all directions, and this made the evil elite's desire to kill even stronger.

Of course, it had no intention of slaughtering battlefield scraps like the goblins, so it just left the goblins for the war cubs behind to deal with.

So the bronze bull warrior spurred his mount to continue chasing, but the little goblins who were overtaken by the bronze bull warrior stopped running away. They found a snow cave, crawled into it, and then hid.

After the Bronze Bull Warrior passed several groups of "scattered" goblins, he finally saw Ergou's back.

When this evil elite saw the spiritual bone armor worn by its "prey", its originally emotionless heart immediately began beating violently.

A remnant of the Eldari with a legacy!

Praise the Lord of Blood!

You have brought me the best sacrifice!
The evil demon elite raised the blood-letting battle axe, but pushed the speed of the bronze bull to the extreme, and then chased after Ergou while howling wildly.

The speeding bronze bull was like a raging armored vehicle, plowing a jagged trench on the snowfield and raising a white mist of snow behind it.

The distance between the two sides was closing, so close that the Bronze Bull Warrior could even see the graceful lines of the wraithbone armor of the frightened Eldari remnant who was running wildly.

It feels that it may need a fatal blow to break the "shell" of its prey.

The so-called "fatal blow" is an extremely powerful combat skill that only the elite among the war bloods can master.

Gather the killing power on the battlefield to launch a devastating destructive attack on the target.

This kind of fighting skill is not very useful in a duel between fighters. To describe it in game terms, the pre-swing is too long, the attack speed is too slow, the moves are rigid, the stiffness is too high, etc.

But this does not prevent this combat skill from becoming the standard threshold for the war blood elite.

Because the purpose of "fatal blow" is not to target ordinary small and flexible individuals, but those huge, solid and majestic things, such as war beasts, tanks, fortresses, even colossi, city walls, etc.

The war blood bandits, led by powerful evil elites who master [Fatal Blow], are invincible when attacking the fortresses and strongholds of ordinary mortals. They don't even need to mess around with any siege equipment. The evil elites only need to gather the killing power on the battlefield to launch [Fatal Blow] to break through the fortress's defense facilities.

To put it bluntly, [Fatal Blow] is used for attacking. The reason why the Bronze Bull Warrior thought that [Fatal Blow] was necessary to deal with Er Gou was that the defense of [Spirit Bone Armor] was comparable to that of a small fortress. Without breaking this hard shell, it would be difficult for it to harm the prey hiding inside the armor.

Of course, this is not to say that the Spirit Bone Armor is truly unrivaled in the world. It is mainly because the Bronze Bull Warrior himself is not strong enough. After all, he is just a centurion in the evil demon army.

The bronze bull warrior howled and chased Ergou desperately, but after chasing for a while, his throat was a little tired from shouting, and he found that he could not get closer to his prey.

This is a bit annoying!
I wanted to fight the enemy to the death, but my legs were too short to catch up.

The Bronze Bull Warrior is a little worried.

The evil demons of the Blood Lord lineage are not known for their wisdom, and they all despise strategies, regarding them as evil tricks.

The Bronze Bull Warrior couldn't catch up with Ergou for a while, but he had no choice but to waste his physical strength competing with Ergou.

Seriously speaking, as a demon mount, the bronze bull has tremendous physical strength. The best of them can even compete with the chariots and tanks of the technological age in terms of speed and stamina, because this thing is originally a half-mechanical, half-demon creature.

However, the bronze bull ridden by the bronze bull warrior is not a perverted existence. Its absolute speed is not very fast, and Ergou is not afraid of it even if they compete in physical strength.

To quote a guy wearing a mask, Ergou can fight with Tongniu for a whole day.

Of course, Ergou doesn't have to actually race with the Bronze Bull Warrior for a whole day. How long the contest between the two will end depends entirely on how fast the high-elite team can eliminate the war blood gangsters.

Due to the tight time before the war, Ergou only had time to arrange a small ambush tactic for the high elves.

Of course, with the knowledge of the high elves, it is not easy to comprehend such a set of ambush methods in a short period of time and to use them properly and independently. If they want to use more complicated methods, they have to have Ergou personally lead the team.

Although the tactic of seduction is good, it is impossible to conquer the world with this trick.

Not to mention other things, just this hundred-man team of war blood bandits, if the high-precision team uses the same tactics repeatedly in piecemeal manner, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.

The actual development just proves this point.

The high-elite team relied on the tactic of luring the enemy into an ambush and raiding. Each time they lured and killed as few as three or four war blood followers, and as many as five or six. After more than a dozen rounds, the total number of evil followers they had killed had reached more than seventy.

However, as time went on, the ambush and stranglehold battles by the high elves became more and more difficult.

The reason is that as time goes by, the remaining blood disciples become stronger.

For example, when the high elves carried out the luring and killing tactics for the first time, the combined combat power of the three war blood disciples who were killed might not be as strong as that of an adult high elf.

And any one of the two High Elves that the High Elves successfully ambushed and killed the last time was enough to counter the combined forces of the other two.

The six high elves fought together, and with Salir, who had been acting as bait, supporting them, they barely killed two blood followers. Three high elves were even injured, one seriously and two slightly.

The luring and killing tactics of such a high-precision team could not be carried out because the team's finishing power was insufficient to complete the final blow.

Of course, Ergou had already anticipated this situation.

He didn't expect the high-precision team to eliminate all the enemies, he just hoped that they could destroy the enemy's manpower as much as possible.

In this regard, the High Precision Team has exceeded its mission.

Ergou led the bronze bull warrior for a long time, but then he made a big turn and ran wildly in the direction the bronze bull warrior came from.

At this time, the distance between the fastest running War Blood Cultist and the Bronze Bull Warrior had already opened up to more than ten miles. At least the evil demons could no longer see each other within the range of their naked eyes, and the plan to divide the enemy's formation had been completed.

Ergou changed direction, intending to go back and reap the fruits of victory.

On the snow path cleared by the bronze bull, Ergou's running speed was even faster than that of a cheetah.

The distance of ten miles was covered in the blink of an eye.

Then Ergou encountered his first war bloodthirster.

This was a giant with a physique as strong as an old bear. He had double horns on his head, legs like hooves, a lion's tail on his thighs, and was covered in thick lizard skin armor. He carried a serrated sword on his shoulder and ran like a tank passing by, shaking the surrounding caves and mountains.

This is a quasi-elite blood warrior whose fighting power is second only to the Bronze Bull Warrior among the entire blood warrior hundred-man team in the war.

When the resentful war blood found Ergou, the distance between the two sides had become extremely close.

The quasi-elite blood warriors were very experienced in fighting, and they estimated the timing of the encounter between the two sides almost instantly.

So the quasi-elite blood disciple subconsciously slowed down his pace, took heavy steps, and dragged the sawtooth broadsword behind him. According to its calculations, when the two sides met, it would also be the time when its sawtooth broadsword would be at its strongest.

It believed that if it could deliver that earth-shattering blow at the right time, it would not only be able to kill the enemy easily, it might even be able to comprehend the secret of [Fatal Blow] and thus join the elite class of the Blood Lord's followers.

The quasi-elite blood disciples have beautiful ideas, but unfortunately the reality is often more bleak.

When the distance between the two sides was less than two meters, and the quasi-elite blood disciple could even clearly see the pattern on Ergou's helmet, Ergou suddenly accelerated.

Imagine a person sprinting at high speed and his speed suddenly increases by more than double. Under normal circumstances, this is absolutely impossible.

Ergou turned the impossible into possible, and the quasi-elite blood disciple who was caught off guard died.

The Liquan Spear pierced the blood disciple's throat, and Ergou used the serrated axe to pull it casually, but cut off the head of the quasi-elite blood disciple, and then walked away.

The quasi-elite blood disciple was not the only evil demon who fell under Ergou's gun.

Next, Ergou did the same thing and killed seven more war blood disciples in succession. These seven evil demons plus the Bronze Bull Warrior were basically the strongest group in the entire team of one hundred people.

Some people may ask, how could Ergou kill these evil masters so easily?

In fact, it is not that Ergou's fighting style is easy. This kind of fighting method relies on the surprise attack.

And this was not something Ergou invented alone. The master of this fighting style should be considered Guan Yu, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

Guan Yu was the most skilled in beheading enemy leaders in the late Han Dynasty. He was adept at using the Spring and Autumn sword technique and was best at beheading enemy leaders by surprise.

What is the Spring and Autumn sword technique? To put it simply, it is a sword technique that deceives people's cognition.

When Guan Yu was fighting with others, he would often hold back in the first two blows, making the enemy mistakenly believe that he was no match for him. Then he would suddenly burst out in the third blow and kill the enemy by surprise.

In the early days, Guan Yu was invincible with this trick, and he killed countless famous generals and warriors. But later, when he became famous, everyone knew how powerful he was and became prepared for him, so this trick of Guan Yu was no longer so effective.

Of course, based on hard power alone, Guan Yu can still be regarded as the number one military general in the late Han Dynasty.
