Chapter 1461: Divide the Forces and Fight
Although they knew it was the opponent's strategy, since there was no better way and they had to do it, Huan Yin and his men no longer hesitated and simply began to formulate a combat strategy after entering the city under the leadership of Huan Yin.
According to the intelligence and map provided by Ying Jue, Huan Yin discussed with the generals and began to determine how to divide the troops, determine the area responsible for each marshal, and determine which unit was responsible for destroying each teleportation array. Of course, these people had to face the defenders who had been prepared there and all the means of the opponent.
It took three hours to agree on everything. So under Huan Yin's command, millions of troops lined up, set up their formations, and officially set off.
Soon after, Huan Yin and others had all crossed the high city wall and rushed into the eight days in the north. And behind them, the city gate was still open, as if it was a deliberate welcome. As for the bloodstains on the ground, of course they still existed, but they always made people feel a little scared.
The Eight Heavens of the North occupied more than 80% of the entire Northern Island. The eight cities united together, and their area was as large as any other Great Heaven. Therefore, even if Huan Yin led millions of lions now, once he entered the city, it was no more than that for the entire Eight Heavens of the North.
The terrain and topography in the Eight Heavens of the North were originally complex, with plains and grasslands, as well as mountains and gullies. But in addition, because there were water flows, there were lakes and swamps, etc. In addition, people's later construction here made towns appear here, so it was difficult to be discovered if they wanted to ambush, bury formations or hide equipment here.
This was the first dilemma that Huan Yin and his team faced after entering the city. Although they had mastered the map provided by Ying Jue, the map was just drawn by Ying Jue after entering the city. He had no time to find out the terrain and the position and arrangement of the enemy. Therefore, there was no relevant information recorded on the map, but only the location of the formation was recorded.
In this way, Huan Yin and his team passed by all the way, and had no idea what would appear next and what was hidden in it. The enemy was in the dark and we were in the light. They were completely in a passive position. They could almost let the enemy do whatever they wanted. They had the final say on how to sneak attack and harass. They had no way of predicting when and where the enemy would suddenly appear and catch them off guard. All they could do was to stay alert and prevent any possible accidents.
In this way, the experience along the way was wonderful. From time to time, troops rushed out from unexpected places of Huanyin and his men and suddenly attacked them. They were even more careless and might trigger the formation that the other party had already arranged. Or the equipment, and they didn't know when it would suddenly start in a dark corner and take their lives.
Among them, there were very few so-called main forces, or it seemed that they were all main forces. This was obviously intentional by the defenders in the northern Batian City, so that Huanyin and his men could not find the key points at all and could only deal with it.
Fortunately, at the beginning, Huanyin and his men were not afraid at all. After all, they had a lot of people at the beginning, and they could almost ignore the harassment of small forces. But this situation could not last long. As Huan Yin and his team found the teleportation arrays one by one according to Ying Jue's map, Huan Yin and his team finally began to divide their troops.
Dividing troops is an established strategy. However, according to the situation at the time, Huan Yin might also make some temporary adjustments. However, Huan Yin could not fully understand the true situation of the defenders of the array below unless he went down to fight in person. But this was simply impossible, because it would waste a lot of time and make the whole thing unable to continue.
In this way, Huan Yin's strategy of dividing troops might be wrong. His judgment made by looking down from the sky might make him send more troops or less.
Sending more troops is good, at least it can guarantee that the defenders there can still be removed and the task of destroying the teleportation array can be completed. But if less troops are sent, not only will the task be completed, but the troops sent there may be in crisis and destroyed by the enemy.
This is also helpless. Huan Yin can only let the divided troops keep in touch with each other and communicate with each other at any time. In this way, those who are closest to each other can support each other, which greatly increases the flexibility of the battle.
However, as the division of troops continued, the second dilemma faced by Huan Yin and his men gradually emerged. More and more people were divided, and fewer and fewer people followed Huan Yin. However, the enemy's harassment would never stop, especially later, Huan Yin found that Luo Hou was so cruel that he had almost included the entire northern eight days in the battle, leaving no place for the people to live in peace.
In this way, the entire northern eight days were battlefields, enemy troops, and the means and traps set by the enemy long ago could not appear everywhere. Huan Yin and his men's combat effectiveness was constantly declining. The farther they went, the greater their danger.
Along the way, Huan Yin kept commanding and dividing his troops. Whenever a troop rushed down, there would often be a thunderous roar immediately. That was because his people had already fought with the other side, or directly rushed into the other side's formation and fell into a passive position.
Huan Yin watched the enemy troops below rush out again and again, or the formation broke out, or suddenly there were weapons surrounding them from all directions. The enemy's tactics were varied and endless from the very beginning of the battle, and he couldn't help but worry about his troops.
He has confidence in his people, and his people are also assisted by equipment and formations, and they are all powerful formations and equipment. However, he saw the endless methods of Beitian Batian time and time again, and he was really nervous.
But that's not all, Huan Yin himself often faces the same dilemma. Or suddenly an enemy force bursts out, catching them by surprise as the main force that is constantly dividing their troops. Either an overwhelming amount of equipment suddenly came and attacked them mercilessly, or they triggered the formation in the air and lost their troops. As there were fewer and fewer people on Huan Yin's side, their advance had to gradually slow down.
At a certain moment, there were not many troops still following Huan Yin, roughly estimated at around 400,000. And now, he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Eight Heavens in the North. Most of the millions of people who originally followed him have now been arranged by him to carry out their own tasks.
Everything was going as usual, and the large army was speeding deeper. Suddenly, a purple light flashed out from below, and the arcs of light stretched out thousands of feet in length and swept directly towards Huan Yin!
Huan Yin snorted coldly and raised Xing Tian with a sword. The sword light took shape, and was as big as the arc light, and it rushed over head-on.
Huan Yin had encountered this kind of sneak attack many times along the way, and he was already used to it. The power of his sword was so powerful that the sword light and arc light immediately canceled each other out, bursting out with a strong roar in mid-air, and disappeared together into smoke.
"There are two teleportation arrays there, and they are all yours!" Huan Yin turned to a general next to him and said.
The general bowed to Huan Yin and immediately led his 60,000 to 70,000 troops to rush downwards. The place where the arc appeared below was where an enemy garrison was located. Not only did their sudden attack have no effect, but they exposed themselves.
Moving forward again, Huan Yin encountered equipment blocking the road and troops ambushing him. He personally took action and led the troops to resolve the sudden crises one by one, and then arranged the troops again to rush towards certain places.
So in the end, Huan Yin only had about 200,000 troops left. A closer look revealed that there was still a marshal following him at this moment, and it turned out to be Tong Dong. And those 200,000 troops were all the same 200,000 people who had been in the vanguard led by Tong Dong before and had not moved!
Huan Yin stood in the air, turned around suddenly, and when he looked behind him, all he saw was the way he came. There, there might be troops fighting in the sky, and the fight would be radiant and roaring, or there would be weapons competing among the mountains, and the ground would shake when each one is launched, or there would be formations erupting occasionally on the lake. , all the fish and shrimps in the lake were fried to the sky.
The entire eight days in the north was now in chaos, with battlefields and fighting everywhere.
"Heh..." Huan Yin sighed softly. The war has completely begun, and the outcome of this battle will become the guide for the future master of the heaven. He hopes that his people can win in every battle circle, but he knows that now he can no longer dwell on it. Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the victory or defeat in those places depends on his soldiers.
As for now, he has finally arrived in his own area. There was one thing he hid from the generals before, that is, this battle actually has an absolute focus, and that is the place that the Shadow Lord mentioned many times in the intelligence - Mani Zangtian!
