Chapter 248

To be honest, it is not impossible for a battlefield defeat to occur due to improper coordination between soldiers and military leaders.

But the problem is... can you let your soldiers take the blame for your failure in choosing the direction of attack?

Do you have any shame?

In short... the soldiers were quite dissatisfied with General Zhao, but he had no self-awareness at all. He felt that these soldiers were in his hands. As long as he could lead them to achieve success, get promoted and make money, he would soon win their hearts.

With this idea in mind, he volunteered to fight on the battlefield without even consulting his deputy.

When the Blood Battle City's commanding corps heard this, they were surprised. They said, "Come on, anyone who wants to come, come. We welcome everyone."

By the time the soldiers learned about this, the matter was already settled; the list of names had been issued, and if they didn't want to become deserters, they had to come.

Zhao Ting, who had no idea what was happening, still thought that he had found a shortcut for the soldiers to get promoted and make money, but he didn't realize that the soldiers' resentment towards him was almost reaching the limit of their tolerance.

Zhao Ting thought he was very capable, that he could perform well on the bloody battlefield, and that he would definitely lead his soldiers to victory. Unfortunately, the soldiers didn't think so. Under such circumstances, one can imagine their morale...

In short, their performance yesterday was quite embarrassing. Several times they had to rely on help from the neighboring defense zone to defend their own defense zone.

The most terrifying thing is that the chief officer Zhao Ting was unable to activate the military spirit, which only proved that these soldiers had no trust in him at all.

Zhao Ting was furious, and the morale of the soldiers dropped even lower. This vicious cycle led to them almost being wiped out yesterday.

It's true that the bloody battlefield suffered heavy casualties, but that only targeted second-rate troops and cannon fodder. The real elite troops weren't so easily wiped out. The Shangwei Legion was the first in years...

The only thing to be thankful for is that the old military leader left not only these soldiers to the Shangwei Legion, but also their heavy armor. Yesterday, many of the Shangwei Legion were injured, but few died, so after emergency treatment, so many people can still stand here today.

When the old military leader was still around, the Shangwei Legion was the elite among the elite, guarding the central defense zone. The people in charge of arranging the defense zone moved part of their defense zone outwards as a precaution to make it easier for them to adapt.

As a result, this guy Zhao Ting was so useless that he couldn't even defend this place and lost a large number of elite soldiers.

They were veterans of hundreds of battles, true elites capable of guarding the middle section of the pass. Training each one took a tremendous amount of effort, and they were heartbroken when one died. And yet, eighteen of them died at Zhao Ting's hands. It was simply...

It was precisely because of seeing such results that the command group ordered the Guangping Army, which had performed well, to be stationed here.

As for Zhao Ting? They had no right to deprive Zhao Ting of his ownership of the Shangwei Legion, but the Ningyuan royal family did. The command group was composed of outstanding generals from various countries, including members of Ningyuan. They had to have this member contact the Ningyuan royal family immediately and quickly deprive this guy of his command rights.

This kind of waste cannot be allowed to continue to harm such excellent soldiers.

Zhao Ting didn't know that he was about to lose the Shangwei Legion, and he was still angry with Cheng Hui at this time.

The command group on the bloody battlefield is an independent and powerful system, almost half a level higher than the royal families of various countries. He cannot even afford to offend the royal family, so naturally he dare not blame the command group for their mistakes. Even if he curses in his heart, he dare not say it out loud.

In comparison, Guangping Jun and Cheng Hui, who had no background at all and came from the remote Fengyu Kingdom, became the targets of his anger.

He returned to his tent cursing and threw everything in the tent to the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it! They are all a bunch of hypocritical villains!"

Zhao Ting was furious and felt that everyone was against him.

When his father was alive, everyone was respectful to him, and those old men were also kind to him. But when his father died, everything changed. First, the soldiers became disobedient, and the adjutant who always smiled at him also changed his attitude. People from the royal family would come to reprimand him from time to time, telling him to be more cautious when using troops and listen more to his adjutant.

Don't think he doesn't understand what this means!

He had long suspected that the adjutant was in cahoots with the royal family, and perhaps was someone's illegitimate child!

He didn't want to listen to that adjutant. Not only did he not listen, he also kicked the adjutant out of the Shangwei Legion!

As long as he is alive, no one can take away Shangwei Legion!

He felt very confident when he said this.

Because of the existence of the Heavenly Demon, various countries are quite tolerant of the major legions under their names, especially those powerful legions. Even if there is a handover, it must be under the supervision of the Bloody Battle Command Group. Even the royal families of various countries are not qualified to accept the legions at will, which leads to the decline of the legion's strength.

Simply put, if the Bloody Battle Command Group does not agree, the military leader cannot be replaced, and even the royal family must be subject to restrictions.

If not for this, the royal family of Fengyu Kingdom would not be so helpless against the Zhennan Palace, because they are good at training soldiers.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ting didn't know that his poor performance on the battlefield had already caused a lot of opposition voices in the command group.

These people hated Zhao Ting, a military leader with great ambitions but little talent. After all, dying at the hands of the devil could be considered a worthy death, but if casualties occurred because the military leader was not strong enough, it would simply be aiding the enemy!

In short, they would never allow Zhao Ting to harm the Shangwei Legion. In their eyes, those soldiers were much more valuable than Zhao Ting.

The reason why the royal family did not directly order the replacement of Zhao Ting was mainly because there were still some opponents in the command group. They suggested giving Zhao Ting some time and then switching to a defense zone with lower war intensity. After all, Zhao Ting had only taken over the Shangwei Legion not long ago, and it was normal for problems to arise due to insufficient running-in between the two sides. They hoped that for the sake of the old military leader, he would be given another chance.

Unfortunately, these people's good intentions were destined to be betrayed, because Zhao Ting not only did not reflect on his mistakes, but instead became even more resentful of the uncooperative soldiers.

Yes, in his opinion, these peasants couldn't even do the smallest things. He was so capable, but because of these people's lack of cooperation, he couldn't inspire the military spirit.

The damage caused by the lack of military soul skills must of course be blamed on themselves, what does it have to do with him?

He also disliked Cheng Hui very much. He had already found out why Cheng Hui took over his defense zone, but Cheng Hui's record was very glaring to him.

He really couldn't understand how a legion from a shabby little country could be compared with his Shangwei Legion. This record must be fake!

That's right, this guy must be the illegitimate son of someone in the command group, and he achieved such a ridiculous record in order to promote him.

So disgusting!

He originally thought that the command group should be fair and selfless, a place where he could fully develop his abilities. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. It is such a hypocritical and corrupt place. Zhao Ting disdains to associate with those people!

Zhao Ting was still admiring himself here, but he didn't know that on the battlefield on the other side, Cheng Hui and his Guangping Army, which had created an amazing record, had already started fighting with the demon.

Cheng Hui was startled as soon as the battle started.

Although he had known that the closer to the middle section, the more intense the battle would be, he really didn't expect that the battle here would be so fierce.

Previously, in a place far away from the middle section, the horned demons that rushed up the city wall were already considered a small BOSS, which required the joint efforts of thirty to fifty soldiers to deal with. But here, there were tens of thousands of horned demons, and when they rushed towards the city wall in a swarm, Cheng Hui was dumbfounded.

He himself can easily deal with the horned demons, but the problem is... the soldiers can't do it. If so many horned demons rush up, how many people will be left in his Guangping Army?

Fortunately, he noticed that several neighboring legions had simultaneously activated their military spirit skills. With one ultimate move, the horned demons suffered heavy casualties.

Cheng Hui: …???

Although... he remembered that the military soul skill consumed a lot of energy. At this frequency... what should he do later?

No matter what to do later, the problem at hand must be solved now, so Cheng Hui asked Wei Yuanzhou to inspire the military spirit and let the archers go first. At the same time, he also inspired the military spirit and added a red armor to all the soldiers.

Speaking of which... there are quite a few clever ones among these soldiers. They discovered yesterday that although this red armor is strong, it is very light. It is the same as wearing nothing when wearing it, so they simply took off the armor they were wearing.

Since it won't be used anyway, it's better to reduce the weight. Whether it can be used to fire a few more arrows or save more physical strength, which one is better than wearing a useless set of armor?

After a good night's sleep last night, the soldiers recovered very well. At the beginning of the battle today, they obtained the military soul skills of the army leader. They were all as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The arrows in the hands of the archers almost became a series of arrows, which was dazzling to see.

No matter how strong the horned demons' defense was, they could not withstand such a rain of arrows. Most of the horned demons that rushed towards their defense zone were killed before they even reached the city wall, which attracted the attention of people in the neighboring defense zone, as if they were wondering where this group of strong men came from.

The performance of the Shangwei Legion yesterday was already eye-catching, but I didn’t expect that the performance of these people today would be so shocking.

The former looked at them with dismay because their performance was so poor. The strength of those soldiers was obviously stronger than theirs, but overall, their record was only half of theirs.

On the other hand, the latter's soldiers' strength was obviously mediocre, but with the support of the military leader's skills, they were able to perform almost as well as them, which shows how powerful their military leader was.

The legion is a group of weak soldiers and weak generals. The performance of the army leader has a great impact on the soldiers. The huge gap between the Shangwei Legion and the Guangping Army also made the army leaders in the surrounding defense zones further realize this truth.

Therefore, they all had a great liking for Cheng Hui, who was able to train a legion like the Guangping Army.

If I have the chance, I would like to get to know Cheng Hui and exchange experiences in military management.

This thought came to the minds of many military leaders.

Cheng Hui didn't know that his performance had won him many potential allies, and he didn't even dare to distract himself to observe his surroundings.

Unlike the relatively easy battle yesterday, the pace and intensity of the battle here are at least three times more intense than yesterday, and there are many more types of demons than yesterday.

There are thickly armored magic turtles, agile ghost snakes, powerful tree demons... There are all kinds of strange things, which really opened Cheng Hui's eyes.

These demons played to their respective strengths and cooperated with each other, giving people the feeling of a huge wave impacting every time they attacked the city.

The city defense army here is like stone pillars rooted in the seabed. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, they can stand still and wait for the next attack.
