Chapter 6349 Experimental Animals

Fen Tu Huang Cao
It can't be said that there is anything wrong with Zhu Jun's thinking. After all, if you send out [-]% of your strength and leave [-]%, when facing your opponent, even if there is an accident, there is still room for recovery.
This is also the reason why Zhu Jun capsizes many times, but there is room for recovery every time. Although it is good for the entire army to attack, if even the reserves are pressed forward, once defeated, there is really only one way left for the entire army to collapse. There is no room for redemption.
Generally speaking, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but Zhu Jun is more suitable for keeping a secret, while the new generation of generals basically rely on their rough skin and thick flesh, plus the shield guard, even if they can't beat the opponent, the opponent will be eaten in a short time. Not to mention the advantages of a shield guard, if you want to take action, do it with all your strength.
"Kill!" Sun Guan, who was holding a Guduo, rushed to the front line of the battle line under the protection of his personal guards. The surrounding guards swung the Guduo and struck hard at the tall and heavy tauren, and the dull drum sound was concussive. The heavy tauren was beaten to screams again and again. The two-ton heavy tauren was really thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It was very ineffective with ordinary swords, and it was difficult to produce a killing power with a bone.
This outrageous situation made Sun Guan look unhappy. He felt as if he had seen a large number of shield guards on the enemy's front. Fortunately, there were not many of these heavy-duty tauren.
As for the heavy tauren's most powerful collision ability, it does not have much effect when facing the shield guard battle group. On the one hand, it is because of the close combat, there is not much room for charge, and on the other hand, the shield guard charging at the front is They are all Zang Ba's shield guards. These are veterans with many years of experience. They have strong defense and a strong force-removing effect, and are extremely resistant to the impact of the heavy tauren.
In addition, there are only one or two thousand heavy-duty tauren, but the top veterans under Zang Ba's command are really calculated according to the legion, so that after Sun Guan's large-scale march, the tauren commander urgently mobilized guards to block it. It can only be said that the situation on Zuoying's side was barely maintained.
But barely maintaining it is also a kind of maintenance, because the shield guards are also unable to break through the defense line built by the heavy tauren, just like when Thirteen Roses defeated Huangfu Song's shield guards and Paduo Jiashi defeated Sun Guan's headquarters, these two I would say that they are indeed stronger than the Shield Guard in all aspects, but both lack the power to effectively tear apart the Shield Guard's defense, resulting in a stalemate.
The shield guards under Zang Ba are now facing the same situation. They are indeed stronger than the heavy tauren, but they cannot kill each other in a short time and can only stand in a stalemate. After the front line surged forward, they did not open up the situation, but fell into a stalemate. , there will inevitably be turmoil on the side.
At any rate, the Tauren commander also absorbed the wisdom of Perennis. After noticing this, he quickly mobilized ordinary Taurens to forcefully attack and kill the left camp along the front line. However, it was the same situation as Sun Guanbu's attack. Even if the tauren found a flaw, they still couldn't achieve the desired results against the shield guards.
"This is beyond my expectation." Zhu Jun looked at the secret mirror with a very complicated expression. When he saw Sun Guan's entire army attacking and being blocked by the heavy tauren, Zhu Jun felt bad because the large-scale charge was blocked by the front. If it is blocked, then the forward front line will definitely be clamped by the opponent, which will lead to heavy losses and so on.
But the shield guards led by Sun Guan showed up. Even if I can't penetrate the front line, you can't penetrate the exposed weak points in the extended areas of the two wings.
"This is simply innovating my tactical thinking." Zhu Jun looked complicated. In their era, the war should have ended when it reached this point, but it has only begun now.
"It's a bit bad, but it did complete the task. It completely attracted the opponent's main force and was almost surrounded by the opponent." Zhu Jun looked at it from the secret mirror. It was not so much that Sun Guan's breakthrough was successful. The opponent's overall dented front line might as well be said to be the opponent's snare that caught Sun Guan's main force and completely surrounded Sun Guan's entire army from the front and left and right.
However, this situation, which is extremely dangerous for other legions, is completely meaningless for the shield guards. If they surround other legions, use various elites to intersperse them, and complete the division of the battle line, they can basically guarantee victory. But Surrounding the shield guards and inserting elite legions into the shield guard army is a false proposition in itself. If the division cannot be completed, then it is better not to surround than to surround.
Because something like an encirclement, logically speaking, means diluting the size of the force that the opponent faces on each side.
This is also the reason why Sun Tzu's Art of War emphasizes ten times of siege, because without ten times the force, after you surround your opponent, if the opponent maneuvers and reacts faster, you will be able to defeat more with less.
"Forget it, just think of it as an innovation in the art of war. As long as the tactical objectives are achieved." Zhu Jun looked at the shields that were already semi-surrounded again, with the front surrounded by heavy tauren and the left and right locked by a large number of ordinary tauren. No more attention should be paid to the defensive front. Sun Guan's goal has been achieved.
At the same time, even if Cao Cao did not have special investigation methods, he could infer the possible situation in his left camp from the changes in the battle line. As a general who has seen the shield guard's combat methods, Cao Cao has absolute confidence in the shield guard. .
Therefore, when I saw the opponent's battle line shrinking towards my own left camp, in a situation of encirclement and annihilation, not only did I not panic, I even wanted to laugh. What kind of army was the last one that wanted to encircle and annihilate the top shield guards? Oh, Oswin, since then. After the Battle of Kandahar, Oswin no longer wanted to besiege the Shield Guards.
"Organize a thousand cavalry, covered by elite archers, and force their way through." Cao Cao quickly issued the order. Since the main force of the opponent went to encircle and suppress Sun Guan, why not take advantage of the chaos and quickly behead him.
Soon, a group of 1000 lancers rushed out from the rear camp, made a large circle, and headed straight for the location of the Tauren commander from the outside.
At this time, Guo Huai also led his own elite and more than 30 strong young men brought by Li Jinshi to open a huge gap in the Tauren army, and ran straight towards the Tauren commander in a straight line. There was no other way. Compared with the ability of full-armored humans to intimidate this group of ignorant tauren, the lions represented by Li Jinshi are simply innately suppressed.
More than 30 lion men roared first, and then rushed directly into the tauren formation. The tauren who were fighting with the Guo Huai tribe in the front camp of the Han army were in chaos. Wherever Li Jinshi and others rushed, the tauren naturally got out of the way. Those tauren who could not avoid were directly slapped by the leading lion men, hitting their necks to an angle that was absolutely impossible to achieve normally, and then fell to the side to wait for death.
"Hahahaha, the armor is really good. I was still wondering why I didn't have this thing even after I evolved." Li Jinshi took a hard punch from the heavy tauren. Originally, based on the size of the hippopotamus, he was not as good as a lion. It's not a good thing, even if you get hit, it won't feel good, but after putting on the shield guard armor, Li Jinshi took a punch, and gave the opponent a claw without dodge, and he saw blood instantly.
"Those who can't evolve armor need to get armor here, brother." Guo Huai said a little tiredly. He doesn't worry about whether guys like Li Jinshi are lions or humans. It doesn't matter. Anyway, he is willing to join. They are their own people. "It's cool!" After violently crushing the heavy tauren, Li Jinshi roared at another heavy tauren that rushed over from the opposite side.
The lion's roar itself is extremely intimidating. After transforming into a human and obtaining a strange talent, this lion's roar is no less than a top sonic concussion talent.
And it is completely different from the sound-killing talent that requires skills. Li Jinshi's lion's roar requires a powerful flying brick. The violent whistle and concussion directly shook the heavy tauren charging from the opposite side, making the legs and feet weak and unable to stand. Stable and fell directly to the ground.
Even Guo Huai, who was following Li Jinshi, felt the awe-inspiring evil aura.
"Hahaha~" Li Jinshi laughed wildly, as if he had fully learned the characteristics of the Xiliang cavalry. He was killing wildly and laughing wildly. Although there was no war horse, the momentum he rushed out far exceeded that of the war horse.
It wasn't until Li Jinshi led Guo Huai across the tall and heavy tauren front line and rushed to a position close to the tauren leader that the blockade finally came.
"Bump!" After Li Jinshi crossed the heavy tauren battle line with the unique excitement of felines, a bare fist hit Li Jinshi's face, sending Li Jinshi flying backwards.
Such a violent performance gave Guo Huai a chill in his heart. Fortunately, Li Jinshi, who flew backwards, fell to the ground and whined twice, then stood up with a shake of his head. After all, it was a golden lion beast. Not only was it resistant to beatings, but its combat effectiveness was far superior. Transhuman.
It was at this time that the orangutan beasts that were hidden behind the minotaur appeared in front of Guo Huai. Perhaps the orangutan beasts were far inferior to the heavy tauren in terms of weight and body shape, but their battle organization ability and The most important indicator, that is, talent strength, far exceeds that of other animals. These things are almost on the same level as Li Jinshi.
"Do you also have elite talents?" Guo Huai tightened the weapon in his hand. This was really bad. And just by looking at the opponent's performance of smashing Li Jinshi away with one punch, he knew that these big and round orangutans were definitely difficult to deal with, and even really To say the least, it's somewhat fatal.
"It's a mountain gorilla." Han Jin looked at the orangutans standing opposite his house with a solemn expression. As one of the few opponents who was really beaten during the self-guided tour in Africa, Han Jin was still very good at mountain gorillas. Impressive.
"It's very strong, and unlike when we saw it, this time the mountain gorillas actually have elite talents." Han Jin immediately informed Guo Huai, "When there are no talents, these mountain gorillas have tons of talents." Level of strength, now it is estimated that the strength will be very exaggerated, and the physical fitness bonus brought by the strength will also be very outrageous."
"Understood." Guo Huai nodded and fought their way in. Because of the presence of Li Jinshi and others, the Han army suffered almost no losses along the way. But now they have encountered a tough situation and it is time for their Han army to show its performance. The mountain gorilla Guo Huai didn't understand what it was, but Guo Huai knew about crossbows.
"Prepare the medium-sized crossbow machine." Guo Huai ordered with a sarcastic face. He carried the large crossbow machine and killed the mountain and sea monsters dozens of feet tall, not to mention the mere mountain gorillas, whose physical fitness is extremely strong, right? Let's see if your body, which has been tempered for many times, can withstand the shooting of the crossbow.
However, when Guo Huai's order had just been issued and had not yet been executed, there was a muffled sound not far from the opposite side. The reinforcements that the Tauren Commander had been waiting for arrived here relying on the traction of the gravitational distortion zone. They were huge and numbered Hundreds of thousands of various tauren descended directly.
Faced with this situation, even Zhu Jun, who had been prepared, looked extremely ugly, not to mention Guo Huai and others who had already rushed into the core area.
Fortunately, this kind of spatial movement that relies on gravitational distortion is not only caused by tauren, but also some guys who sneak in from outside the world and want to reap benefits.
After all, from a certain point of view, they also jumped to the African Prison on the inner side of the world, and then took the space channel. With the phase overlap, it is normal for them to be sent here together. After all, there is no gravitational low-lying area on the inner side of the world. The question is the gravitational distortion zone currently constructed by Fa Zheng.
Therefore, along with the various tauren, the three families of King Yuan and Yang, who came with great hopes to reap benefits, were different from what they thought. They descended directly into the tauren army, even if the area of arrival was different. , but in general, it is still in a state of being surrounded.
"Die!" When he saw a group of non-human beings around him, and they were looking at him with ill intentions, Yang Chen unceremoniously ordered the guards who had been prepared to launch his own improved version of the powerful blood sacrifice at the non-human beings around him. God-killing spear!
Dozens of God-killing spears were thrown over, and with the power of the explosion, they directly drove away the tauren who had been watching the three families of Yuan Wang Yang. Unlike the situation of the Han Dynasty where they were strong and could fight steadily, the major families knew their own strength very well. , it’s Wang Zha when you get started, what you want is shock.
Don't look at such a wave of blows at the beginning, which directly took away hundreds of tauren, which greatly shocked the opponent. But in fact, with such a wave of blows, the relevant reserves of the three families of Yuan Wang Yang have been reduced by half. However, this kind of opening shocks the opponent. The effect looked very good, at least the various tauren around them quickly stayed away from the three families who suddenly appeared around them.
"What are these things?" Yuan Xin looked at the tauren around him as if he had seen a ghost. He had never seen this kind of humanoid creature before, but he had never seen it before. How could he? Is the detection device constantly reminding me that there are experimental animals in front of me?
"My experimental animals." Wang Lang said with an indifferent expression. As he spoke, he used the bloodline lock he carried to identify experimental animals to activate the secret method, and all the minotaurs glowed with blood.
The monthly votes are doubled on the last day. If you have votes, vote quickly.
This is also the reason why Zhu Jun capsizes many times, but there is room for recovery every time. Although it is good for the entire army to attack, if even the reserves are pressed forward, once defeated, there is really only one way left for the entire army to collapse. There is no room for redemption.
