Doomsday simulator, I prove extraordinary with swordsmanship

In the southern wilderness forest, after some repairs, the generals under Zhao Cheng have recovered a bit of energy.

It's also a good thing that they are all old soldiers, and they have long adapted to this kind of intense war. If they were new recruits, they would have lost their morale long ago when they encountered such a battle with a death rate as high as 50%.

Only the old soldiers, who are used to seeing life and death, have been rewarded for their merits, and have been promoted, can still maintain a certain degree of combat effectiveness.

But it would be impossible to experience such an intense bloody battle again in a short period of time.

In this era, in a general battle, if the death rate exceeds 10%, the army will be defeated, and it is useless to have an overseer.

If you are an elite person, you can reach 15%.

As for tiger and leopard cavalry, the elite among the elite can reach 30%.

This is also a limit. There is a limit to a person's psychological endurance, and then there is the herd mentality. On the battlefield, even a strong-willed warrior will subconsciously follow after seeing his companions start to retreat.

Once inertia is formed, it is the so-called defeat.

Even, the seemingly lowest 10% are all about brave and good fighters, mostly from the beginning of the dynasty, and then the soldiers and horses in the hands of the tyrants in troubled times. Going downhill, until the end of the year, 90% of the soldiers and horses are either neglected in training, or they are simply out of pay.

Among such soldiers and horses, most of them are honored and honored children, and it is okay to let them fight for credit. If they really want to go to the battlefield, they will be the first to run. In this case, the death rate is about 5%, and the army will collapse.

Zhao Cheng knew that in the battle where he killed Wu Yuan, he was able to lose 50% without being defeated, which was the result of many factors.

On the one hand, the woodland is deep, and there is nowhere to escape. In this deep forest, if one gets separated, there is no way out.

On the other hand, before the start of this battle, Zhao Chenggong ordered everyone to keep only one day's worth of water, and destroy all the rest. From the very beginning, they cut off everyone's escape route.

And this matter of breaking the boat is not something that can be used easily. Once it is not used well, it is easy to make the soldiers and horses under him mutiny. However, because Zhao Cheng has few people under him, and with a reward, he can suppress the restless hearts. down.

It is Taoism.

In this world, although Taoism is difficult to show the holiness, it still has a great influence on the spirit. It can stimulate one's fighting spirit and blood, and make the people under him fearless. It can be called the ancient version of stimulant.

In modern warfare, many countries, in the absence of spiritual beliefs, like to distribute various drugs to soldiers to maintain combat effectiveness.

Of course, if the army is both spiritual and physical, it is undoubtedly the strongest.

In the Western world, there was such an army of priests. Through brainwashing and drugs, two-pronged approach, even if the death rate exceeded 80%, they could still fight to the death.

However, the follow-up such an army was abandoned.

On the one hand, the cost is high. The resources spent by a priest army are enough to support dozens or hundreds of cannon fodder. On the other hand, the belief is firm, which is not a good thing for the powerful.

The cost is high, and it is difficult to control. Although it has the advantage of strong combat effectiveness, except for this, it is a disadvantage.

The Taoism used by Zhao Cheng is a kind of temporary brainwashing.

Before the battle, he first asked all the soldiers to sit quietly and recite the Yellow Heaven Sutra together. He was using Taoism to guide him, and only then did he finally achieve success.

It can be said that in this battle, he was able to kill Wu Yuan with such a little strength of his subordinates, not relying on luck, but sufficient preparation.

And it is also indistinguishable.

The same method, if used continuously for a short period of time, will not work.

However, after killing Wu Yuan, the road ahead can be said to be bright.

Wu Yuan's catastrophe is the death catastrophe of this body, and it is also the biggest catastrophe. Although the number of people who participated in the front and back was no more than a hundred people, the place is only in this small mountain forest. Compared with the whole world, it is the size of a palm. This place is not as magnificent as the vast sky and earth, where the star-studded splendor gathers.

But if you really want to compare, it is precisely because the land is small and there are few people, and there is no room for change, that the strength is more tested.

When the soldiers recovered a little, Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry to hurry, but called his own soldiers and school lieutenants to ask for advice.

It is a very common thing to ask for strategies in the army, but it is so common that it appears important.

There are two kinds of questioning strategies. One is that the superior has already made a decision in his mind and has a well-thought-out strategy. It seems to be asking, but it is actually a means of establishing prestige.

There is another kind, that is, the road ahead is really at a loss, so it is up to the generals to ask the strategy.

At the moment, Zhao Cheng is naturally the first one.

There are only more than fifty people in their line now, but at this moment, a dozen people came all at once, standing on both sides.

And from the standing position, we can also see the closeness. The closest to Zhao Cheng is Wei Ye, the soldier who followed Zhao Cheng at the beginning. He is just a soldier and does not have any official position, but anyone with a discerning eye can It can be seen that this situation is only temporary, as long as he does not make mistakes in the follow-up, his future in the follow-up is probably the greatest.

Indeed, in the military, it seems that everything is based on merit, but in many cases, whether one can make meritorious service depends on the thoughts of the superiors.

Serving superiors, the most important thing is not credit, but affection.

If there is love, even if you make a big mistake, you can be forgiven. If there is no love, the greater the credit, the faster you will die.

After Wei Ye, it was Wang Shouzheng. His heart was temporarily suppressed, but the dragon can hide and rise. As long as the dragon energy has not dissipated, it is just a temporary trough. Dormancy does not mean giving up. It's just for the next time, it's even higher.

Perseverance is the dragon.

In this regard, Zhao Cheng just watched coldly.

Dragon species, the more you suppress them, unless you crush them to death, it is not so easy to use them for your own use.

As for the Ming Taizu in reality, when he was just starting out, he was suppressed by his adoptive father several times in a row. After finally accumulating a little strength, he was easily taken away by the superior, and he was almost killed. But such setbacks, not only did not make it abolished, but honed its firm mind.

Even, without the previous suppression and tempering, Ming Taizu might not be able to establish a country and rule the world later.

Of course, this is not a glorification of suffering.

There is an essential difference between suffering and tempering. Enduring hardship is passively enduring all kinds of hardships in life, while tempering is the setbacks encountered while advancing towards a goal.

In Wang Shouzheng's situation, if he didn't kill him, he had to defeat him three times before he could break his dragon aura. There is a saying that only three times, after three times, the dragon aura is gone, it can be said that the destiny has been lost.

It's not that there is no chance to transform into a dragon again, it's just that there is less help from heaven and earth. In this world, everyone can be called a dragon. As long as they have strength, they can condense dragon energy even if they don't have natural dragon energy.

The man with strong soldiers and strong horses is the Son of Heaven!
