The Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress was not a simple battle formation from the era of cold weapons. It was not a battle formation that specialized in the coordination of different types of troops, nor was it a so-called battle formation that was used to defend a position. According to Chu Hao's analysis, the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress was more similar to the combination of psychological tactics and spatial manipulation.
The eight teams had three modes of action: attack, defend, and retreat. The creatures on the battlefield all had one most obvious characteristic, which was that they would subconsciously attack the enemy closest to them. Under such circumstances, if they chose a target in advance and suddenly retreated, the attacker would inevitably chase after them. Of course, if they could not catch up, then they would definitely choose another target closest to them to attack. That was all.
The Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress actually made use of this psychological characteristic. The eight teams would cooperate with each other. The outermost team would retreat, the middle team would launch a feint attack, and the last team would defend. In this way, it would unknowingly disrupt the enemy's vision and attack echelon, causing the enemy to fall into the rhythm and range of the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress.
Moreover, the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress was not afraid of the enemy outnumbering them. This battle formation included the understanding of spatial manipulation. Moreover, because this was not a simple military battle formation from the era of cold weapons, but more of a psychological and spatial manipulation, the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress could also be used in modern warfare. Moreover, the larger the range, the greater the number of people in a battle, the better the effect. On the contrary, in a situation where there were fewer people, such as eight people practicing the Eight Front Formation of the Wind Empress, there would not be much effect.
This was Chu Hao's military strategy, this was Chu Hao's trump card!
After the battle, about a thousand dwarves died, including more than five hundred dwarven civilians who died from being trampled by each other. On the other hand, the death toll of the orc wolf riders was more than twenty thousand. The loss ratio of the battle reached an astonishing fifteen to one!
The dwarven soldiers were all stunned. They had never fought a battle like this before. They were clearly the ones who were disrupted by the surprise attack. They were clearly the ones with fewer people and lower combat power. The terrain here was clearly the advantage of the Orcs. In a situation where they had no advantage in terms of timing, geography, and people, they actually won. Moreover, it was an almost absolute victory. This … How was this possible?
In fact, it wasn't just the dwarves who were in disbelief. Even the Team Nordic members who saw the entire battle through their psychic scan were shocked. They could clearly see how the entire battle changed. From the beginning, there was no hope or chance of victory at all, but when Chu Hao entered the battle, the entire battle seemed to have changed under the influence of an invisible giant hand. In the end, the outcome was like this. Even the Team Nordic members who saw the entire battle only saw it, and did not understand it. In other words, it was a complete interpretation of the phrase "I don't understand what you're saying, but I think you're amazing" …
As for Asog the Blasphemer, he was filled with inconceivable terror in his anger. Even if he was not a strong individual, he was still a qualified commander. He had experienced countless battles. It must be known that the Orcs were not humans, dwarves, or elves. The Orcs followed the law of the jungle. Asog was not the commander of the Orcs from the beginning. He had also climbed up from the bottom. He had experienced battles with various races, and he had also suffered defeats, but none of them were like this. No matter how he thought about it, this battle should have been a complete victory for the Orcs, and the Turin Dwarves would be completely wiped out. However, the outcome was completely different from what he imagined.
The scariest thing was that when he was defeated in the past, he at least knew why he was defeated. For example, he did not have enough troops, he did not have good geography, he was ambushed, the enemy's equipment was too good, and so on. But this time, he did not even know why he was defeated. It was a complete victory, but he was suddenly defeated. More than half of his troops died, and even more fled. It would take him a lot of effort to gather these troops … But how did he lose?!
Cavalry. Alright, the Orc Wolf Riders were still cavalry. The tactics of cavalry were speed and impact. The pressure of thousands of cavalry charging at the same time was enough to cause a third or fourth rate army to collapse. In fact, from ancient times to the present, true cavalry battles were extremely rare. Most of them were either chasing or harassing, or taking advantage of the chaotic battle to defeat the enemy. Then, they would drive the defeated soldiers into the enemy's formation to break the enemy's formation. If they really let the cavalry charge into a well-defended formation, it would be like killing a thousand enemies, but losing eight hundred of your own men. According to the value of ancient cavalry compared to the value of infantry, almost no commander would do such a thing.
Asog the Blasphemer's plan was to drive away the defeated Dwarves and their civilians. He had the geography and the people, and he was ambushing them. As soon as the Dwarves started to lose, it would be like a landslide. At that time, let alone the Dwarves, even elves, humans, and wizards would not be able to save them. At that time, they would be in a swamp, and the Dwarves would not be able to escape or resist. At that time, even the gods would not be able to save the Turin Dwarves.
But … how did they lose?! This was f * cking illogical!
Meanwhile, in the Dwarven camp, the revelry continued. The morale of the Dwarves had stabilized, and the hearts of the Dwarves had stabilized. Moreover, they had a kind of recognition and worship for Chu Hao. After this battle, at least until they reached the Lonely Mountain, the highest leader of the Turin Dwarves could only be Chu Hao.
At this time, Chu Hao used the fact that he was exhausted after the battle to decline all the invitations and compliments from the Dwarves. Only the members of Team Nordic stayed in his tent. When everyone was gathered, he immediately said, "The situation this time is really terrible."
When everyone heard this, Zhang Heng immediately laughed and said, "How could it be? You're really impressive this time. Oh right, tell us, how did you win? It was like magic. We saw with our own eyes that we were about to lose, but how did you suddenly surround the Orcs and win? This is just too cool, too cool. How about this, let's make a deal. You teach me the art of war, and I'll teach you archery. How about that? "
Chu Hao directly ignored Zhang Heng's joke and said to the others, "This time, the Orc army's attack has actually put us in a very dangerous situation. Originally, I expected team Celestial to join forces with the Orcs, then they should definitely appear in this battle. However, team Celestial did not appear. This situation … is very dangerous."
"If we reorganize all the information and clues we have, we will find that ever since we left Azure Mountain, things have been different from our plans and speculations. First of all, the location of the Orc army's appearance is different, and the timing of their appearance is wrong. Even this sneak attack that was completely out of our expectations is also completely wrong. No matter what speculations we make, we will get a completely contradictory result. We have already fallen into a wrong trap. This is a very dangerous thing."
At this time, the others also recovered from the question of how they won the previous battle. Aoji took the lead and asked, "I'm also very curious. Who was it that blocked my mental scan? Was it team Celestial? Then why didn't they attack us when the Orc army had the advantage? Moreover, when the Orc army was massacred, they were nowhere to be seen. Could it be that they abandoned the Orc army? "
"It can't be considered abandonment." Chu Hao shook his head and said, "No matter how you think about it, team Celestial and the Orcs can only be using each other, and not allies. After all, team Celestial is a God's Realm team, and the Orcs belong to the Chaotic Evil Faction in this world. If they belong to the Order Evil Faction, then there is a possibility of an alliance. As for the Chaotic Evil Faction … they can only be used."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Right now, there are three key points. First, how did team Celestial know about our situation? First, we are in Blue Mountain. Second, we instigated the Blue Mountain Dwarves to go to Lonely Mountain. If team Celestial didn't know about these two points, then they wouldn't have let the Orcs wait for us here. The first key point is, how did team Celestial get our location and information?"
"Second, what is team Celestial's mission? If you think about it carefully, the key points of the plot are nothing more than going to Lonely Mountain, killing Sorin and Gandalf, killing the Fire Dragon, obtaining the Heart of the Mountain, or obtaining the One Ring. Of course, the mission to revive Dark Demon King Sauron is also possible. But no matter how you think about it, these missions can't make them attack us here. So what is the reason for them to do so? Just to kill us? "
"The second question leads to the third question, which is also the biggest question so far … Why didn't they take the opportunity to attack us?! With the mental barrier, the affirmation of our existence, the advantage of the battle, and the strength of the God's Realm team, this is the best time to eliminate us. Even if their mission has nothing to do with us, eliminating so many of us is enough for them to obtain a generous reward of points and side quests. Then … what is the reason why they haven't attacked us yet!? "
Chu Hao's face was abnormally gloomy as he muttered, "Team Celestial … What do they want to do? What … are they hiding?! "
