"This fellow Chu Wuhui..."
While Yu Zhubu was distracted, he caught a glimpse of the cooperation between Chu Jie and Chu Yao, vaguely remembered something, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
“I have become more and more sophisticated over the years…”
Except for Shen Tang, I guess no one in this world would think that Chu Yao is a simple, kind, merciful and tolerant old man.
Especially Yu Zhubu, who knew his childhood experiences.
Other scholars studied military books, studied military formations, and honed their words, thinking about how to set up and break formations, but Chu Yao was different. He liked to let his imagination run wild and always noticed details on the battlefield that others could not notice...
Conduct targeted research on these details.
For example, words like "sinking into water and entering fire" can penetrate into the cracks of the enemy's mind and attack the opponent's spirit. For example, the chariot drum in front of you, this thing not only targets the enemy's morale, but also can disrupt the enemy's information transmission and even change military orders.
_(:з)∠)_
Yes, this guy likes to take advantage of the situation.
Even now, when the power of words is advanced, battlefield communication is still not convenient. The ancients relied on "advance at the sound of drums and retreat at the sound of gongs", commanding a war on the spot with war drums and gongs, or sending messengers on horseback to shuttle through the battlefield to repeat orders.
Or they would shout in unison, using short words like "advance," "retreat," "chase," or "kill" to convey the commander-in-chief's orders.
Doing so can also provide pressure from the perspective of momentum.
Later, special soldiers were added to be responsible for command flags. They could issue orders to the commander remotely and in real time by using different flag postures.
Since the Rogue Star descended from the sky, a small number of special scholars and warriors have obtained some seemingly useless but actually magical weapons on the battlefield, "The Way of the Scholar" and "The Intention of the Warrior", which can transmit military orders to the ears of soldiers within a certain range of their own in real time.
Message delivery is one step faster.
Natural reaction and action are also faster than others.
However, this ability is rare after all, so some people racked their brains to find alternative means, such as driving the birds transformed by civil and military energy to pass messages to various parts of the battlefield, and the person in charge of the military formation will then pass it on to the lower levels. Efficiency can also be greatly improved.
And Chu Yao likes to make trouble here.
He can use the military drum to disrupt the enemy's drum rhythm, kill enemy birds, fish in troubled waters, or make the enemy hallucinate and misunderstand the flag information. As long as the formation is in disarray, the rhythm of the battlefield will fall into his hands.
As for the sound attack...
He has studied it for many years.
He collected a lot of gongche notations from Thief Star and did some research on music theory, but he didn't know what was missing and made little progress. The effect of vocal music to inspire morale was far from what he expected, so he could only resort to violence.
Infuse the war drums with both literary and martial energies.
The purpose of distorting the surrounding heaven and earth energy and attacking the eardrums of enemy soldiers is achieved through the collision between the drumstick and the drumhead.
This was something he discovered during the years he was washing dishes at Yuehua Tower. Many women who came to Yuehua Tower to catch thieves and adulterers would be slapped. It seemed that their faces would only become red and swollen, but in fact, they would suffer from temporary deafness and dizziness, and the white membrane deep in the ear would crack and bleed. Chu Yao guessed that this thing was related to human hearing. It was difficult to kill people, but it was not easy to destroy it
The difficulty lies in how to distinguish between friend and foe.
Indiscriminate attacks will not be worth the cost.
Chu Yao had the idea for this topic since he was a teenager. He discussed with Chu Jie several times to find inspiration. He also studied and pondered hard in Yuehua Tower with his Danfu shattered, and finally made a breakthrough. However, this was the first time that it was actually used in actual combat.
How effective is this method
Chu Yao was also unsure.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
The army spread out in a scattered pattern with Chu Yao as the center. Any attack directed at him was intercepted by the cavalry formation commanded by Chu Jie. As the uniform drum beats sounded, the snow in the air vibrated due to the sound and formed water ripples.
Chu Yao's eyes were indifferent.
He sneered: "The battlefield is a place where life and death are decided. Your souls have gone to the underworld, so don't blame me."
The drum beats have little presence in the chaotic battlefield.
Their own soldiers were not affected - except for the troops sent by Yu Zhubu, the others were either the elite heavy cavalry belonging to the border barrier, or the evil spirits attracted by Xun Zhen's money ability, and there were not many living people - and the Ten Crows soldiers did not feel anything at first, because there were shouts of killing and the sound of war drums everywhere, even they had shouted themselves hoarse, and their ears were numb to these sounds.
By the time they found they couldn't hear any sound, it was too late. The Shiwu's literati did notice that the vanguard soldiers began to disobey orders and evade deployment, and their overall reaction was slow, but they just thought that the literati of Yonggu Pass had used some means to block the sound and break the words to recover. The battle between literati was a matter of countering each other's moves, so it was not surprising.
The result is predictable—
By the time they realize something is wrong, precious time has already been wasted in the race against time on the front battlefield, and control of the rhythm has been lost.
Chu Yao murmured: "... That's right."
Passive counterattacks have never been something he likes.
What he enjoys is the absolute control over every rhythm.
Chu Jie happened to catch a glimpse and saw his childhood friend standing in the snow, and he seemed to see the other's back when he was still young.
It seemed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my heart. The youngest of the "Three Heroes of Chu State" at that time had really returned.
Thinking of this, he secretly weighed the weapon stained with blood, and thought - if he surrendered to the man named Shen, he could still act side by side with Wuhui like today, and he would not treat his soldiers badly, even if the other party did not get 30,000 heads...
The difference is just a few thousand or ten thousand...
emmm... for Wuhui's sake...
You can also turn a blind eye to it.
Yu Zhubu had no idea what his general was thinking. He was now frowning and thinking about how to break the formation with Kang Shi. Thanks to Xun Zhen and Chu Yao, two scholars who did not play by the rules, the Eight Gates and Eight Formations formed by the Ten Crows Army, the vanguard formation and the three small formations on the left and right wings were delayed. Judging from the situation, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Humph, being able to hold out for so long in the hands of these two evil spirits, these ten squids must have died a worthy death.
But apart from these three, there are still support from the left and right sides of the central army, and each of the three armies has troops to provide reinforcements.
The morale light gradually solidified above them, with a vague ominous color, as if something familiar was absorbed by them. The main force of the vanguard and the two flanks were disrupted. According to the normal rules of the battlefield, the Ten Crows should have been in a state of chaos at this time, and even began to plan how to retreat in order to preserve their strength.
result-
There is no sign of this.
The rear is still stable.
This shows that the Ten Wu side does not think the situation is so serious that it cannot be reversed, and they still have a trump card in their hand!
This trump card can help them turn the tide in victory or defeat!
Thinking of this—
Kang Shi made up his mind and made a decision.
"Master Yu."
Yu Zhubu's heart tightened: "What?"
Kang Shi: "I'll leave the battlefield to you for now."
Yu Zhubu: “…???”
Kang Shi simply reminded: "The morale gathered above the enemy below gives people an ominous premonition, which seems to be related to luck. I boldly guess... it may be the core of the military formation..."
Yu Zhubu: "...So, what are you going to do?"
"Luck happens to be what Shi is best at, break it"
When it comes to playing with luck, he is an expert!
