The battle on the battlefield is not one-on-one, nor is it a simple gang fight. Who is more ruthless than others. Although the deterrence of brutal means and the impact on the morale of both sides cannot be denied, the most important thing on the battlefield is the overall strength.

If the extraordinary power of an individual is a sign of a practitioner, then the military aura is the best explanation of the overall power of a mortal.

I said earlier that the existence of a city-state military system is one of the cornerstones of a secular civilization where practitioners and mortals coexist and blend together. The main reason is that the military spirit of the army has improved the overall strength of mortals and suppressed the individual strength of practitioners.

Practitioners, especially those who have stepped into the ground and completed the initial leap between mortals and transcendent species, are indeed extremely powerful. However, under the coverage of military qi, the ability of the ground-level practitioner's most powerful attribute to send out attacks will be completely "sealed", and his own strength will be suppressed to a realm in an instant.

That is to say, even though the ground-level practitioners are still stronger than mortals under the suppression of the enemy's army, they are no longer invincible.

Of course, the promotion and suppression effects of the military formation are always two-way and mutual. Both the enemy and us, both practitioners and mortals, can get the blessing of their own army's military spirit, and they will also be suppressed by the enemy's army's military spirit. When the military spirits of the two sides overlap and intertwined with each other, "I am in you and I am in you", it will exert a certain prohibition effect. The object of prohibition is the circulation of the vitality of heaven and earth.

Mortals have no or only a small amount of internal energy, so the effect of prohibition is not obvious, and even to a certain extent the so-called suppression can be said to be directly non-existent.

Cultivators are different. The strength of the cultivator depends to a large extent on his own "inner energy", or "true energy", or "origin energy." No matter what the differences and connections between the three are, they are essentially "the vitality of heaven and earth." The operation of these inner "heaven and earth vitality" needs to communicate with the outside world vitality at all times. Once the outside heaven and earth vitality is banned, it can be said that the cultivator is just a "mortal" with a stronger physical body.

As a cultivator, "Fan Xiu" has many methods of cultivator, but why the most used on the battlefield is the "three-strike" technique of "beheading", "cutting the heart" and "cutting the waist"? It's not because I don't want to use the unique methods of the cultivator, but because it is difficult to use in an environment where the heaven and earth are forbidden.

The mutually covering military aura not only "seals" the extraordinary power of the repairer, but also "seals" 99% of the specific talent abilities.

the reason is simple. This ninety-nine percent of the specific talents need to communicate the vitality of the world to activate. For example, the specific talent of "flame", this talent is actually equivalent to the warlock's fire method, which is activated by communicating vitality. In fact, this kind of specific talent can also be regarded as another possibility for mortals, perhaps extraordinary powers. It's just that the awakening of talent has too much contingency and uncertainty. Except for physical talents that can be activated through training, this way of gaining strength is not reliable.

But even so, relying on the body that has been cleansed by the vitality of heaven and earth, the strength of the cultivator on the battlefield is self-evident.

Moreover, not all cultivators can only become stronger mortals on the battlefield. When the military qi of both sides does not cover each other, the strength of the cultivator will not be suppressed. On the contrary, the strength of the cultivator will be greatly improved under the blessing of his own military qi and military formation, so that all tiers and above can control the attribute vitality. Cultivators with the ability to release out and those with long-range attack capabilities of warlocks can first use the powerful abilities of the practitioners to severely injure each other before the military spirits of the two sides are entangled. After the front military qi is entangled, the warlock-type repairmen in the rear can also launch long-range magic attacks with the help of the unaffected military qi. It's just that such an attack will be greatly weakened after entering the position of military entanglement.

However, just like "Fan Xiu"'s "Earth Splitting", even after entering the enemy's military aura and being suppressed and weakened, it can still cause more than 20 casualties, and the attacks of warlocks can also weaken. Then it caused huge threats and injuries to the enemy.

This is also one of the reasons that warlock troops will exist on the battlefield.

If Fan Xiu hadn't been possessed by Ning Yuan, the breakout of the enemy line could have basically failed at the moment it was contained.

Because the entangled "Xiuyuan Remnant Army" will soon be divided and surrounded by the "Iron Juvenile Army" several times its own, and then annihilated.

Although Fan Xiu is strong, he will also be exhausted, make mistakes, be injured and exhausted in the face of a siege. After all, the battlefield is not a place where you can do whatever you want with individual strength.

But the current "Fan Xiu" is not the real Fan Xiu. All physical bodies and strengths are the real Fan Xiu, but the consciousness is Ning Yuan's consciousness.

The two most fundamental abilities of Ning Yuan happened to be the mental and mental abilities that can be activated without vitality and physical body. "Xizhao" and "Yaoyan".

After the pace of the killing breakthrough was slightly curbed, "Fan Xiu" was not reckless, but with the help of "Xizhao" and "Yaoyan", he quickly found a gap in the "Iron Juvenile Army", and his sword turned around. "Fan Xiu" attacked the weak spot he saw without any entanglement.

The soldiers charging on the battlefield basically followed blindly. After "Fan Xiu" changed the attack route, the entire triangular charging array naturally followed its direction.

"Fan Xiu"'s goal now is to keep moving, no matter whether he can break through the "Iron Juvenile" or not, he can't stop. Once the charge is blocked, everyone behind him will undoubtedly die.

The reason why the team led by "Fan Xiu" is able to attack and defend several times the "Iron Juvenile" seems to be well matched, in large part, is due to the increase in combat power brought about by the increase in morale. Once "Fan Xiu" is blocked, this is because the morale brought about by "Fan Xiu" seems to be unstoppable will soon disappear. Once the morale is low, the military energy will become scattered and will be completely dispelled by the opponent's military energy. At that time, the Xiuyuan Army will completely become a native chicken under the butcher's knife of the Iron Juvenile Army.

As mentioned earlier, military morale is largely due to morale. Although the composition of military spirit includes "morale", "blood spirit", "war spirit", "resentment", "death spirit" and a lot of messy things in addition to "morale". But the most fundamental is the "morale" of the army itself.

The blunt point of the "morale" thing is the soldiers' emotions and spiritual will, such as seemingly vague but real things.

Why is there such a description as "work out in one go, then exhausted, and fail in three", "the soldier will win in mourning"? It is because the "morale" thing will greatly affect the actual combat effectiveness of an army. The "morale" thing is completely determined by the soldiers' will and emotions.

When the "morale" is full, the soldiers can exert their own combat power 100% or even 120% or even higher.

When the "morale" is normal, a soldier can display his normal level of combat power, but the normal level of combat power is often not equal to his own true combat power.

When the "morale" is low, the soldiers can only display half of the normal level or even lower combat power.

When the "morale" collapsed, it was difficult for the soldiers to show even 10% of their own combat power.

And "morale" is just as contagious as will and emotion. This is also the reason why those brave generals existed and were admired during the war.

To put it bluntly, the brave general is to infect the will and emotion of the soldiers through their own bravery, and then elevate the morale of the army as a whole, so that the soldiers can display 100% or even 200% of their combat power.

"Fan Xiu" now plays the existence of such a brave general.

However, due to the defeat of Zhongfu, the morale of the Xiuyuan Army had dropped to a very low level. Although "Fan Xiu" used methods such as "clarifying cause and effect" and "inspiring death will" to elevate the morale of his guards, it only returned to a normal level. Even with the power of "Splitting the Ground" and simple and brutal killing methods to further elevate morale, it is far from the original full morale.

If the morale is 100, then the morale of the Xiuyuan Army was 80 when it first went out, and the morale of the Zhongfu was 20 after the defeat. It was restored to 40 through the collapse of the routs and the abandoned barracks, and then fell under the siege of the Tiezhi Army At 30, it was close to the edge of collapse. Then "Fan Xiu" raised the morale of the guard battalion to 50 through the order of self-breaking the back road and that sensational inference. Now with the addition of veterans and his own brave generals, the morale has risen to a level above 60 and close to 70.

With 70 morale of the Xiuyuan Army, those who followed "Fan Xiu" were all elite soldiers and veterans of the Xiuyuan Army. It is not surprising that they can attack and defend against the soldiers of Tiezhicheng.

But the current morale can be said to rely entirely on "Fan Xiu"'s unstoppable brave performance. Once the "Fan Xiu" offensive is stopped, even if it is delayed for a long time, the "morale" that is finally uplifted will be "Avalanche" fell like an avalanche.

Although with the continuous advancement of "Fan Xiu", more and more veterans came together on their own initiative, and even those recruits who were almost faintly waiting to die unknowingly followed the veterans to join in, so that morale began to steadily increase slowly. .

However, it is not enough.

Now on the battlefield, except for "Fan Xiu", Deputy General Zhao, and a limited number of basic non-commissioned officers who are themselves repairers, they can stabilize the system and defeat their opponents, even if they are the "Fan Xiu" main troops who are elite soldiers in Xiuyuan City. And those veterans can only kill and wound each other with the Tie Zhijun.

"Fan Xiu" needs to find ways to further boost morale, so that all the soldiers under his command can at least be able to win one-on-one and remain unbeaten one-on-one. Only in this way can the possibility of a breakout success be increased.

"So what should I do?" "Fan Xiu" dodges the stab of three long spears. The big knife blocked another long spear on the left from behind, and handed it to his right hand. The muscles were stretched, and he took advantage of his height to slash down. Cut off the blades of the three enemy soldiers, and then swept across the heads of the three whose weapons had been broken, while constantly thinking and deducing in their minds.

Just as Ning Yuan once again killed a soldier, "Fan Xiu" caught the attention of "Fan Xiu" when "Xizhao" reproduced the scene that had just been swept by his eyes.

It was a nine-foot man who kept rushing toward him, surrounded by a few guards in well-equipped armor.

"Are you the enemy's vanguard?" "Fan Xiu" thought flashed, turned around and ignored it, and attacked another weak spot where it was estimated that the enemy would soon be vulnerable due to the movement of soldiers.

"Fan Xiu", who had killed several enemy troops and dashed into the depths of the enemy troops, once again discovered the bright armor, holding two handles, and looking at the vanguard of a five-foot heavy hammer that smashed people like a melon. official.

A cold light flashed in "Fan Xiu"'s indifferent eyes, and then once again, he ignored the spot that "Xizhao" had peeped through in the opposite direction and killed him.

"It's not the time yet."

In this way, as "Fan Xiu" continued to change the direction of advance, he intentionally or unintentionally clicked and killed the basic non-commissioned officers of the Iron Juvenile Army, and used the enemy's attack caused by the death of the most basic organizational unit of the captain. Unsmooth, the overlapping of personnel blocked the enemy vanguard who had always wanted to stop "Fan Xiu", slowly but firmly raising the morale of one's own side, and weakening the morale of the enemy soldiers in contact.

Ning Yuan finally felt a slight increase in his strength after killing an enemy even more. The overall morale of his subordinates has finally risen to around 80.

"almost."

The thought of "Fan Xiu" flashed away a few long spears, and then turned slightly to make a forced turn, and slowly moved closer to the side of the vanguard whose face was obviously anxious.

The vanguard, who had been playing with "Fan Xiu" and "walking" with an unhappy face, saw that "Fan Xiu" was finally forced to his position by the soldiers' courage. His eyes lit up like a bell and opened his mouth. There was a silent grinning laugh, and he couldn't wait to smash the soldiers around and approached "Fan Xiu".

When the two sides approached Zhangxu, the enemy vanguard suddenly swelled up to a height of one foot and seven feet wide like a little giant. He held two five-foot heavy hammers the size of a watermelon and knocked each other with a loud sound. Give a shout: "The enemy will die!"

The soldier who smashed away in front of him slammed his heavy hammer high and slammed it at the head of "Fan Xiu" who had just blocked the side spear and slightly changed his breath.

Just as the vanguard officer laughed grinningly, and when Lieutenant Zhao, who had fought each other a few steps behind "Fan Xiu," and the other guards were shocked, the corners of the "Fan Xiu" who "changed breath" curled slightly and pulled out a touch. The icy arc as cold as a knife.

Immediately the figure expanded and widened in an instant. The sword in his hand was turned on the back of the neck, and his arms were swollen in two full circles. The hands clenched the sword from the bottom to the top. The arc-shaped blades wrapped in the blade-like air are not tolerated. The shiny armor and shoulders of the opponent's chest are drawn diagonally from the waist of the enemy vanguard's left side.

"Ah." The enemy vanguard kept charging forward, but the grinning expression on his face solidified in an instant, his copper eyes widened, and a smear of blood appeared on the bright armor on his chest after a muffled sound. The blood spurted out, half of his body separated from the sprinting legs, a big mouth on his hideous face, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "wow".
