Chapter 863: The Last Power of Japan
"Eternal and unchanging, everything is in the mind..."
Zhuge Liang was trying to figure out Sima Yi's understanding, and Sima Yi was also trying to understand Zhuge Liang's understanding. Their understandings led to the same conclusion, although not in the same direction, but ultimately pointed to the same possibility.
On the other side, Mingzhu Guangxiu's face changed drastically. It was something they had expected to weaken or strengthen their strength. It would be strange that the Han Empire had no means at all.
However, when he was directing the clouds to prepare for the battle , he discovered that this other force was actually eroding the coordination among the armies.
The army under his command is a mixed group. If the situation continues to deteriorate, it will turn from a whole army that has been well coordinated into three small groups fighting on their own.
When a large army is fighting, cooperation is the most important thing, and coordination between soldiers is the most important. No blessing can compare to it.
As Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi activated the Bagua Formation, Qin Liangyu, who was in charge of the protective work, also developed her own legion talent. Her talent was a bit peculiar and was named Arrow Avoidance Protection.
The talents of the White Spear Soldier are: first, fearlessness; second, breakthrough.
Qin Liangyu's talents combined with the white-pole spearmen make her an expert at escorting breakouts. She was specifically responsible for protecting the safety of key figures on large-scale battlefields.
"Three-stage assault, defeat them!" Qin Liangyu pointed with her spear, and the entire legion broke through in an instant.
She was not worried about the safety of Zhuge Liang and others because there was still a legion guarding them closely.
It is the Jingling Shield Guard Corps led by Liao Hua and Guan Hai, one attacking and one defending, jointly protecting the safety of key figures.
With them, the safety of Zhuge Liang and others can be assured.
As a veteran royal guard, the White Spear Soldiers demonstrated great strength.
The heavy spear in his hand, carrying the inertia of the sprint, directly pierced through the barrier defense and puppet soldiers set up by the Onmyoji by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Even the soldiers carrying large shields who were placed in the front were directly knocked away dozens of meters. What's worse, some of them were pierced through their weapons, equipment and armor because of this thrust.
However, the surprise attack of the white spearmen eventually slowed down. Akechi Mitsuhide was entrusted with an important task, so he naturally had something to rely on.
"Set up a muddy swamp to slow them down!"
Under the control of the Onmyoji, the ground began to become muddy. It had nothing to do with the weather, but was a real application of magic.
The spearmen, whose speed was restricted, instantly lost the lethality of their previous staggered and coordinated charges.
"Very good, they are slowing down!" Akechi Mitsuhide calmly ordered, "Ready the shuriken and kunai, throw!"
Under the control of the ninjas, this careful hidden weapon has a lethality that is no less than that of an ordinary bow and arrow.
However... for the white spearmen who had arrow protection, this was a joke. Not to mention the armor they were wearing, the arrow protection alone was enough to make them ignore these things.
Arrow Protection is a bit like a barrier supported by the wind. It uses the characteristics of air flow to form a protective layer on the body surface. It can not only avoid damage from small and medium-sized arrows, but also effectively provide defense to resist some melee attacks.
"Switch to combat mode and attack in sections!" Qin Liangyu commanded loudly, but this time the attack was directly stopped.
A group of guys wearing full body armor but exuding an infinite wild aura stood up with large shields in their hands and easily stopped the spearmen's charge. Even though their speed was slowed down, it was enough to make Qin Yuliang alert.
“Something’s wrong!”
Qin Liangyu's eyes instantly became serious. She thought that her opponent was a mixed group of scum. However, the moment they fought, she understood that the overall strength of this mixed group was uneven, but among them there were opponents that should not be underestimated.
At the very least, he is an opponent at the level of the Royal Guards, and a highly trained one at that.
"Yamaji Army, the defense is left to you!" Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice. It must be said that Oda Nobunaga's accession to the throne of emperor was a coincidence.
If it weren't for the repeated actions of those aliens, Oda Nobunaga might not have been able to seize the throne of the Japanese Emperor so easily.
Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu... each of them is not easy to deal with, but the winner takes all, and the powerful legions under their command will completely belong to Oda Nobunaga.
Takeda Shingen's Furinkazan Army, Uesugi Kenshin's Shamonten Army, Tokugawa Ieyasu's heavy armored warriors... a series of legions were all very powerful and were all taken over by Oda Nobunaga.
However, without the founder of the legion, the combat effectiveness has declined, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
After all, Oda Nobunaga's victory was difficult to convince the people, so he could only use the method of divide and conquer to consolidate his position.
Takeda Shingen was exiled to the navy, and his entire family was under the control of Oda Nobunaga; Uesugi Kenshin was sent to harass the Han Dynasty, and was finally forced to join the arms of the Four Chaos Vendors and go to another world.
The only pity is that Tokugawa Ieyasu's heavy-armored warriors were originally a very strong royal guard, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated, they were willing to obey Oda Nobunaga. Unfortunately, they became a stepping stone for Oda Nobunaga's Demon Cavalry to ascend to the third talent.
Also becoming stepping stones were Takeda Shingen's Takeda Red Guards, both of which were very powerful imperial guard corps, but they all became nutrient material for the Demon King's Cavalry and became a thing of the past.
The Yamaji Army that Akechi Mitsuhide was commanding at this moment was a branch of the Furin Kazan Army, and it was also the means left by Oda Nobunaga for Akechi Mitsuhide to obstruct the enemy.
"Knock on the mountain to scare the tiger!" After realizing the strength of the Shanzi Army, Qin Liangyu quickly adjusted the tactical deployment.
For a heavy defense legion, ordinary slashing and stabbing no longer have much effect, and only relying on the concussion attack of heavy weapons makes sense.
Fortunately, the White Spear Soldiers have mastered this method.
The spearmen no longer relied on piercing, but instead raised their heavy spears high and chopped down directly.
Once upon a time, the spearmen using white tree poles could not do this, but with sufficient logistical support, they were not only equipped with full body excellent armor.
They also upgraded their weapons to heavy guns made of new alloys, making their combat methods more diverse.
But to Qin Liangyu's surprise, after the spearmen smashed down their heavy spears, not only did they fail to defeat their opponents, but a force bounced back and collided with the falling force, instantly breaking many heavy spears.
"Does it have the ability to counter the shockwaves of heavy weapons? Dissipate force? Rebound?" Qin Liangyu quickly analyzed the effects of the enemy legion's talents.
"This is tricky. The best way to deal with a legion like this is to drag them to death, but we don't have time to drag it out now!"
Qin Liangyu immediately understood that it was not that the white-pole spearmen under her command were incapable of fighting, but it was very difficult and not cost-effective to deal with them. The best way was to let the shield guards behind her fight with them, and then they would avoid this legion and go straight to the other soldiers in the rear.
