The smiles on the faces of many people in the literary world became even more intense. Gou Bao, King Chu and others had been suppressing Fang Yun with the suspicion of being a traitor. But now, Shi Jun, one of the four great talents of the previous generation of the human race, actually used the same reason to suppress the Qishan Army. It was really tit-for-tat.
The high-ranking scholars in Shengyuan Continent and various ancient lands all looked at Gou Bao with great contempt. In their eyes, people in the literary world were originally inferior, and now Marquis Qishan Gou Bao actually condoned his subordinates to infighting in the two most critical mountains of the human race. This had already crossed the bottom line that a scholar should have.
Even the Zong and Lei families would not be stupid enough to assassinate Fang Yun on the top of Liangjie Mountain City.
The great scholar had every right to kill the Hanlin scholar. Facing the ridicule and sarcasm from many scholars, Gou Bao remained silent but gritted his teeth.
The demon army continued to charge, and everyone quickly focused their attention on the demons and were too lazy to pay attention to Gou Bao.
Not long after, Fang Yun looked up again, because the number of monsters in front of the Pearl River Army had increased to three times that of the beginning!
Moreover, all the monsters seemed to have received orders. Once the rain of arrows appeared, they would use magic to affect the arrows.
Once magic is used, the health of the monster will be reduced and the speed will be slowed down. In addition, only the magic of the monster commander and a few monster generals can affect the human arrow rain, making the arrows slow down or lose their accuracy, and greatly reducing their power. The biggest benefit of doing this is that more monsters are immune to attacks, increasing the survival rate of monsters.
However, the magic of the monsters is inherently weaker than the war poems of the human race, and the rain of arrows of the human race has additional powers such as monster-killing weapons, war poems, expedition poems, etc. Most magic can only weaken but not completely break the rain of arrows. This results in the lethality of the arrows being reduced by 30% to 50%, but it is not completely ineffective.
The power of the arrow rain from other armies was reduced to about half, causing more and more monsters to rush to the city wall. However, the power of the arrow rain from the Pearl River Army was only reduced by 30%.
After careful observation, the scholars on the city wall discovered that when under attack from witchcraft, cross-shot arrows were more powerful than frontal arrows.
Many university scholars conducted research in secret, and soon, the university scholar of engineering came to the conclusion that the cross-shooting angle could more easily penetrate the magic of the monsters, especially those at the level of monster generals and monster commanders.
All the great scholars and Confucian scholars of the human race could not sit still. Cross-shooting was originally stronger than ordinary shooting, and when facing sorcery, the power was reduced the least. This meant that when facing sorcery, the power of cross-shooting was greatly improved compared to ordinary shooting!
Three documents were delivered from Liangjie Mountain to Xisheng Pavilion, War Hall and Works Hall.
The documents that arrived at the West Saint Pavilion were mainly to report this important situation, while the documents that flew to the Works Hall were mainly to invite the great scholars of the Works family to study cross-shooting. The documents received by the War Hall were to jointly verify the research results of cross-shooting with the Works Hall. Once it is determined that cross-shooting can increase the lethality of arrows, it will be forcibly promoted among the entire human race!
Soon, Fang Yun received the news of "forced promotion" and thought that the great scholars of the human race were indeed very foresighted and decisive.
Forced promotion means that anyone who wants to obstruct the promotion of cross-fire tactics will be sentenced to a felony. Even if they do not obstruct but are merely passive in their implementation, they will be severely punished by the Holy Court.
Using magic to weaken the arrows, more and more monsters climbed up the city walls, even the section defended by the main force was no exception.
The first rabbit demon commander finally arrived at the city wall guarded by the Pearl River Army. However, during the charge that lasted for more than ten miles, his energy and blood were constantly consumed, leaving only 70% of his strength.
Before the rabbit demon commander could get a clear look at the enemy on the city wall, hundreds of war poets threw their spears.
Puff puff…
The Rabbit Demon Commander was like a sieve, with bloody holes all over his body. He fell from the top of Jieshan City and finally hit the ground and died. Before he died, he didn't understand why he died so quickly.
The magic worked, and many monsters arrived at the top of the city. However, their energy and blood were depleted, and they were killed by the well-rested soldiers.
Next, those melee combat poets will exert their power to continuously repel or kill the monsters that climb onto the city walls.
Soon, the generals of the Pearl River Army discovered that even if some monsters broke into the city walls, it did not matter. Although the rain of arrows of the Pearl River Army was weakened by the magic, the monsters that cast the magic would also be affected. The advantages and disadvantages of both sides could almost offset each other.
The current situation is equivalent to stretching the battle line of the monsters and barbarians. The monsters and barbarians that should have been killed four or five miles away are killed on the top of the city instead, and the melee combat soldiers who were originally idle are put to use.
The demon barbarian who seemed to be close to success was firmly controlled by the Pearl River Army and was never able to break through the defense line of Zhan Shi's soldiers and hurt any soldier.
By late night, the rest of the city sections of the Wenjie Army were already filled with monsters and barbarians, many of whom had even temporarily gained a foothold and were able to compete with the human race.
No demon could stand firm against the Pearl River Army for three breaths.
At first, the armies were not convinced, but when some university scholars pointed out a key point, almost all the generals were convinced.
Fang Yun had been studying and was the only university scholar who did not participate in the defense.
The Demon Sea tactics are mostly composed of demon civilians, demon soldiers, demon generals and demon commanders. The proportion of demon lords is smaller than in normal times, but even if they are few in number, they will often rush to the top of the city.
In the eyes of everyone, if Fang Yun did not take action, even with the presence of Grand Secretary Zhang Qingfeng, it would be difficult to quickly deal with those demon lords.
Most people did not notice it, but those university scholars or great Confucian scholars who were secretly observing the Pearl River Army discovered that when the Pearl River Army dealt with the Demon Marquis and the Barbarian Marquis, they often mobilized the Hanlin and Jinshi scholars, led by Zhang Qingfeng, to besiege the Demon Marquis.
Other armies used the same method, but the results were far inferior to those of the Pearl River Army.
Many scholars began to deduce and think about it, and soon realized that this was a peculiar military strategy. If they just watched, it would take at least several days to fully comprehend it.
A look of anxiety finally appeared in Gou Bao's eyes.
He didn't expect that in just a few months, the Pearl River Army not only created a powerful tactic like cross-fire, but also formed a powerful tactic that seemed like a military strategy.
Fang Yun felt a lot of eyes staring at him. He looked ahead and smiled slightly.
"Wolf pack tactics are not uncommon, but how to maximize the power of this tactic is the key to the Pearl River Army's ability to quickly kill the demon lord."
After saying this in his mind, Fang Yun continued reading.
In the early morning, the army changed its guard, and the new 70,000 Pearl River Army replaced the previous 70,000 Pearl River Army.
Of the 70,000 Pearl River troops who had participated in the battle before, not a single one died!
All the Grand Secretaries and Hanlin scholars remained on the battlefield, and only the Jinshi and lower-ranking officers were replaced.
The human race changed their defenses, and the monsters continued to attack. The new 70,000-strong army could not match the previous 70,000-strong army in a short period of time, so a large number of monsters rushed to the section of the city defended by the Pearl River Army.
Seeing this scene, Gou Bao and many other university scholars breathed a sigh of relief. This was the normal Pearl River Army, and other armies still had a chance to win in the military merit book.
