From the power of space to the heavens 2

Chapter 1044. One Mine vs Nine Mines, Only Those Who Suffer Know

This is not pressure.

After all, Luo Tianshen was originally the patriarch of the Luoshen clan.

Whether to save or not, whether to retreat or not, whether to fight or not, whether to give up or not.

It was all just a matter of his words.

No one could put pressure on him.

Therefore, it should be said that this is the most basic reporting procedure. There will not be a situation as in many novels or TV dramas where a general executes a messenger or scout on the spot in order to stabilize the morale of the troops.

And this reporting process exists.

There are two main reasons.

One is that the messenger responsible for delivering the letter is originally a member of the Luoshen Clan, who are sworn enemies of the Blood God Clan. It is impossible for him to say something that would shake the morale of the army, unless he has a problem with his brain. But if he really has a problem with his brain, he would not be qualified to be the messenger delivering the letter.

Another reason is that the elders sitting in the hall now, including the fourth elder and another elder lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, are all supreme beings of the Luoshen Clan and are on the Blood God Clan's kill list. Although these elders have their own opinions, they can still maintain consistency on the most basic stance and will not be disturbed by any words that can shake the morale of the army.

So, considering the above two reasons.

The messenger still explained the facts.

Otherwise, he would also have to explain which line of defense he came from.

The Luoshen tribe has many lines of defense.

He did not reveal which line of defense he was from. Although clan leader Luo Tianshen would certainly ask, at this critical juncture where countless people would die for every second of delay, he obviously could not be too rigid. Saying a few more words might very well save a lot of time.

Therefore, when these words fell into the hall.

Instantly, there was a whispered discussion.

With a powerful enemy at hand, it is important to get down to business.

If they were not concerned about the issue of identity, these supreme-level elders of the Luoshen clan would even want to talk to Lu Yuan and ask for his opinion. After all, Lu Yuan had just proved his strength with facts. At the moment, it was obvious that one more person meant more strength, and the Luoshen clan was not in a position to be picky.

However, a misunderstanding just occurred and it has not been resolved yet.

It's not even their turn to go through the formal process.

To put it more bluntly, just apologize to Lu Yuan and let it go.

But this sudden bad news disrupted this perfect process, making it impossible for them to apologize or not to apologize, leaving them in a dilemma. They could only ignore Lu Yuan temporarily and wait until the right time. For now, they should discuss important matters first.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is not unkind.

The reactions of these Luoshen tribe elders were very normal.

Although he was somewhat confident in his own abilities, he was not so arrogant that he would become the protagonist in the eyes of others no matter where he went, and that others had to revolve around him.

On one side was him who had just been involved in a misunderstanding.

On one side is the Luoshen tribe, which is full of crises and uncertainties.

If these people can really abandon the members of the Luoshen tribe and focus on pleasing him, they will definitely be able to abandon him for higher values ​​and interests in the future, or even sell him out, in order to please that new target.

However, although he did not have the conditions to communicate directly with these elders, nor was he qualified to express his opinions, Luo Li undoubtedly had this qualification, or in other words, no one in this hall was more qualified than Luo Li to be the bridge of communication between him and the Luoshen Clan.

Luo Li also knew this.

Therefore, after briefly communicating with other elders in the family.

Luo Li nodded to Lu Yuan.

He brought Lu Yuan to the assigned seat.

Using the sound transmission technique, he explained to Lu Yuan: "This kind of thing is not common in the clan, but it is not rare either. Based on past experience, there are only two ways to deal with it. The first is for grandpa to go out in person, fight a battle, pay some price, and save everyone. The second is to give up the fight and negotiate with the Blood God Clan. After all, the Blood God Clan can't really force our Luoshen Clan into a desperate situation. At least before grandpa died, the Blood God Clan didn't dare to do so, and they didn't have the ability. The current discussion is the same. There is a little difference, but not much. The mainstream opinion is still to fight..."

"On the premise that the mainstream opinion is to fight."

“We still can’t achieve an overwhelming advantage.”

"It shows that fighting has many disadvantages."

"It's a bit alarmist. The Luoshen Clan is not sure they can win at the moment."

"Am i right?"

Lu Yuan calmly analyzed based on Luo Li's words.

Luo Li's meaning was very clear.

With the tacit understanding between him and Luo Li, there is no need to guess.

of course.

Tacit understandings are tacit understandings, and facts are facts.

Luo Li pursed her lips in silence, speechless, and could only spread her hands to indicate that what she said was right. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at her grandfather Luo Tianshen who was sitting on the patriarch's seat right above her, and then she sent a voice message to Lu Yuan: "Grandpa's personality tends to be cautious and he doesn't like radicalism. This kind of desperate play is not what Grandpa is good at, but the comprehensive strength of the Luoshen clan determines that Grandpa has no other choice. If he doesn't fight, it will be equivalent to losing a supreme being. If he fights, he may also lose an unknown supreme being. If only the patriarch of the Blood God clan, Xue Lingzi, attacks, Grandpa is certainly not afraid, but the Blood God clan still has several other earth supreme beings. Moreover, although the Blood God clan nominally left two earth supreme beings at home, no one knows whether these two earth supreme beings will suddenly move out. Among the Luoshen clan, only Grandpa is qualified to use this clan protection formation, so there is definitely a risk."

"So how did they solve this situation in the past?"

Lu Yuan became interested.

in a sense.

This problem really makes the Luoshen tribe difficult to deal with.

The gap in strength can indeed be made up to a certain extent by strategy.

But when the gap is too big, no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless.

For example, Shu Han and Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

Is it not okay to be Prime Minister Zhuge? No.

One mine beats nine mines, it doesn’t matter who comes.

Prime Minister Zhuge's wisdom can only help Shu Han to take the initiative in offensive, grasp the initiative, strive to increase the upper limit of one mine, and suppress the ninth mine. This is called operation, but it cannot change Cao Wei's advantage. In other words, Cao Wei can fail a hundred times, but the prime minister cannot make a single mistake. The tolerance rate is too low.

The only good opportunity was ruined by Ma Su.

Otherwise, if nothing went wrong with Ma Su.

The probability is that three mines will attack seven mines.

Although the gap is still obvious, the upper limit of three mines is not comparable to that of one mine. Prime Minister Zhuge was able to accumulate the strength for the Northern Expedition with only one mine and suppress Cao Wei, which had nine mines. Now, the operating space has increased three times, and the fault tolerance rate has also increased three times. However, Cao Wei has lost about one third of its operating space. If it continues to erode bit by bit, it is possible to win.

All in all, strategies can make up for some of the gap.

But when the strength gap is too big.

No stratagem can make up for it.

Therefore, under this premise, being willing to give up is a very important quality, which indirectly determines the overall strategic deployment and attitude.

So, Luo Li sighed.

Based on what you know.

After all, only seventeen or eighteen years have passed since she was born. The lifespan of a person in Rongtian realm is hundreds, that of Huatian realm is nearly a thousand, that of Tongtian realm is thousands, and that of Zhizun realm is calculated in tens of thousands of years, and that of Di Supreme is hundreds of thousands. In this era when the strong live long enough, any war may last more than ten years, and some major wars may even last for decades or hundreds of years. With the territories of dozens of dynasties and hundreds of sects as the basic base of war, the scale of the war is astonishing in every aspect.

So, the war she saw was only a small part of the real war.

Moreover, there are not many of them.

The most recent war dates back more than a decade.

It was that war.

It caused her to lose her parents.

Therefore, she could only analyze and speculate based on the records of the Luoshen Clan: "In the past, facing this kind of tactical arrangement that can be regarded as siege and attack, we who are on the passive side generally have three ways to deal with it. The first is for the Earth Supreme to lead the team to rescue. Of course, this is based on the situation that the encirclement established by the Blood God Clan is not too strong. If it is like this time, led by a superior Earth Supreme, plus three inferior Earth Supremes and multiple Supremes, even if it is to rescue, it will take the cooperation of Grandpa and the Earth Supreme who has not fallen before to be sure to repel the Blood God Clan. The second is the tactic of changing homes. At worst, we will not rescue, but send out multiple teams to raid and harass the rear of the Blood God Clan. Although we will not confront the two remaining Earth Supremes, the Blood God Clan has obviously occupied a lot of territory belonging to our Luoshen Clan under the premise of active attack. The protection range of the two Earth Supremes is limited. Once their battle line is extended, our chance will come. So, you should understand, right?"

"It's not hard to understand."

"Suppose both sides have a hundred supreme beings."

"And the Blood God Clan occupies a relatively large area."

"If they dare not send people to guard the cities and territories they have captured, it would be equivalent to their fighting in vain. After all, as long as the Luoshen Clan sends people over, it is equivalent to completing the counter-encirclement. If they are more extreme, they can also send your grandfather over and place an Earth Supreme that you mentioned before. It doesn't matter if it is a higher or lower position. As long as it is an Earth Supreme, it has the ability to barely preside over the formation, which is enough to ensure that the Blood God Clan cannot break in and turn it into a pincer attack."

“But if they dare to send people to guard the cities and territories they have captured, even if they leave some supreme-level strongmen to garrison, the larger the area of ​​the fall, the weaker their point-to-point defense will be. Similarly, the Luoshen Clan’s defense pressure will be less. According to the nine ninth-grade supremes currently possessed by the Luoshen Clan, they can be divided into three teams. One team consists of two ninth-grade supremes, two eighth-grade supremes or seventh-grade supremes, four to five sixth-grade supremes or fifth-grade supremes or even fourth-grade supremes, and varying numbers of third-grade supremes and supremes below the third-grade supremes, to attack the supremes left behind by the Blood God Clan.”

"The Blood God Clan can also arrange two ninth-grade supreme beings, two eighth-grade supreme beings or seventh-grade supreme beings in each position. This force can barely block the attack of the Luoshen Clan, and it may not be able to hold on?"

“So, in the end, it will evolve into a completely new pattern.”

“If the Blood God Clan insists on besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements, at most the Luoshen Clan will have to sacrifice the lives of a few Supreme Beings to allow the surrounded Supreme Beings to hold on. Then, the Blood God Clan will have to pay a higher price and lose more Supreme Beings to ensure that the Blood God Clan will not have a successor. Moreover, the Blood God Clan can be cut off from retreating. Even if the Blood God Clan attacks desperately, they will have to leave some people behind to escape when they are attacked from both sides. This way of fighting will actually give the Luoshen Clan an advantage.”

“And if the Blood God Clan doesn’t insist on besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements, they can only retreat or withdraw their frontline forces. If your grandfather, a high-ranking Supreme, is among those attacking the Blood God Clan’s rear, then conservatively speaking, the Blood God Clan will have to withdraw two low-ranking Supremes. And that’s still with the support of the military formation, so they can barely hold on.”

"If we want to fight head-on, we need at least two lower-level Supreme Lords with military formations, or we can abandon everything mentioned above and just have a higher-level Supreme Lord, soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals."

"Under this premise, if the Earth Supreme has not fallen, the Luoshen Clan can fight and rescue the surrounded Supremes and the Luoshen Clan's army. Although there will still be casualties, it is indeed the best outcome compared to total destruction."

Lu Yuan analyzed calmly.

This is the importance of strategy.

The opponent has an upper-level Supreme and five lower-level Supremes, while I only have one upper-level Supreme and one lower-level Supreme in my hand, but I can still restrain the strong opponent.

but……

"The core problem is that the previous Earth Supreme has fallen!"

"Even if he is just a lower-level supreme being!"

"But his death indirectly caused the clan to be unable to take care of both ends!"

"Even if it's a harassment, it can't cut off the retreat!"

"Because once Grandpa appears there, the Blood God Clan will immediately understand that the Luoshen Clan is in a state of emptiness. If they march straight in, the consequences will be troublesome. The formation without the Earth Supreme presiding over it will not be able to stop them. After all, there is a high-level Earth Supreme and three low-level Earth Supremes. The strategic idea of ​​using the formation as a shield is impossible to succeed, so this is it."

Luo Li spread her hands, expressing helplessness.

This is the gap in strength.

  Is this a good plan?

Of course it's good.

Able to check and balance opponents even in the absence of cutting-edge combat power.

  But is it useful?

Useless.

The Blood God Clan attacked the Luoshen Clan like crazy a few years ago for this very reason. Unfortunately, it was not until the Blood God Clan killed the Earth Supreme that the Luoshen Clan reacted and indirectly lost the initiative. The saddest thing was that at the beginning of the war, the Luoshen Clan was still immersed in beautiful fantasies, thinking that Luo Tianshen was stationed on the east side where the offensive was the most intense, and the other Earth Supreme was stationed on the west side where the offensive was slightly weaker. On the basis of occupying the geographical advantage, they could effectively consume the Blood God Clan's manpower. At the same development speed, after this battle, although both sides would need hundreds of years to recuperate, after hundreds of years, the younger generation of the Luoshen Clan might have developed. Suffering now in exchange for a brighter future, it can be said that the Luoshen Clan has a certain advantage.

No one expected that Xue Lingzi had such great courage.

Don't abandon one camp.

To conceal the truth from the world is to cut off a finger of the Luoshen clan.

This fully explains why it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.

And now, the follow-up impact has come.

The Luoshen tribe simply cannot use the tactic of dividing its forces now.
