When Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu charged toward Yanzhi Mountain to intercept the main force of the Chu Army, they could never have imagined that they would be rushing into thin air.
General Wei Huo was like he had activated a "full map hack," as without any intelligence support, based solely on the locations of Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu, he predicted the marching route of the Di People's main army.
Then, without hesitation, General Wei Huo turned around at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, as if brushing past by magic, he miraculously avoided the Di People's main force and instead thrust directly into their rear, charging at Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou!
After Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu had led the main army to intercept, the tribes of the Di People were still singing and dancing.
In the eyes of Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou, who stayed in their tents, this Chu Army who had ventured deep alone was on a suicide mission. Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu would soon return victorious, and then they could sing and dance in their tents while dealing with the slaves of the Chu Army.
However, the Chu Army suddenly appeared outside their grand tents without any warning!
In haste, Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou quickly assembled their cavalry to resist, but in front of these brave Chu soldiers, they were utterly powerless to resist.
"The Di People excel in horse archery, no need to engage them in that directly!
"After a volley of shots, charge straight through! Engage them in close-quarters combat and beat them till they are scattered and fleeing!"
With a loud shout from General Wei Huo, the players following him, charged towards the Di People's army like they were injected with adrenaline, roaring as they pounced forward!
The reason why General Wei Huo could become a legendary general of an era was precisely because he possessed traits similar to those of other famous generals, like General Han Fuyue and General Deng Yuanjing: he could see through the essence of war at a glance!
Other leaders of the Chu Dynasty would often make two types of mistakes when facing the Di People.
One was to overly believe in traditional tactics, still using chariots and infantry against the Di People, but against the Di People's cavalry, swift as the wind, they could only suffer passively.
The other was to imitate the Di People's tactics unskillfully, using cavalry against the Di People, but still trying to copy the Di People's way of fighting and engage in horse archery.
The Di People grew up on the grasslands, with children under ten learning to ride horses. The Cavalry of the Chu Army, although trained, would inevitably not be able to compete with the horse archery skills of the Di People.
But General Wei Huo spotted the advantage of the Chu cavalry at a glance: superior equipment!
Therefore, his choice was to charge at the Di People's cavalry right after a volley of shots, engaging in melee combat when collided.
Because the Chu Army had better armor and sharper swords, they would often gain a colossal advantage in such close combat.
Is this point difficult to think of?
Actually, in retrospect, it was obvious. But in the history of that time, so many veteran generals all failed to consider this, so it must be said that sometimes the fog of war brought on by history is stronger than anyone can imagine.
And General Wei Huo's ability to penetrate the fog of history and find the correct method of warfare just goes to show that he was naturally a Divine General!
After the battles along the way, the number of players had exploded to over ten thousand, and by now, they had basically given up their ability to think because all they needed to do was follow General Wei Huo's lead!
No matter where they went, no matter what enemy they faced, even deep in the Great Desert on the Di People's home ground, as long as they followed General Wei Huo, there was no battle they couldn't win!
Players violently crashed into the hastily assembled Di People's army, starting a frenzied slaughter.
Swords swung, heads fell, and the battle didn't last long. It could hardly even be called a battle, but more like a one-sided massacre.
Soon, these ten thousand plus Chu soldiers had completely looted the Di People's camp, beheading all who dared to resist and herding the remaining captives onto the open ground.
"General, what do we do next? Continue deeper in?" The players, while wiping their weapons free of blood, looked to General Wei Huo.
General Wei Huo smiled faintly, "Continuing deeper is necessary, but not now.
"Aren't the main forces of King Xiu Tu and Lord Hunxie still out there?"
The players were somewhat surprised, were they going to fight again?
After General Wei Huo's miraculous maneuver, avoiding the main forces of Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu, the players subconsciously thought that General Wei Huo wanted to avoid the battle.
After all, that was one of the Di People's main forces.
Even if they were to fight, they would most likely want to first create some distance, to choose a more suitable spot for battle later, or gather the Demonic Qi, summon more players, and then fight.
However, judging by what General Wei Huo was suggesting, it seemed he wanted to go straight into the second battle without stopping?
Wasn't that a bit... too risky?
General Wei Huo smiled faintly, "Time is of the essence, and to move now would be to waste all previous efforts."
The players quickly came to their senses, indeed!
The two options they had previously thought of were actually not feasible.
Once the Di People's main army led by Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu realized they had been duped, they would definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible. Considering the speed of the cavalry and the time General Wei Huo had spent fighting Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou, the Di People's main army could arrive at any moment.
Collecting Demonic Qi and summoning players now could easily be interrupted by the Di People's cavalry if they were caught in the middle, with unimaginable consequences.
