My name is Wei Qing, and I want to fight the Xiongnu.

Therefore, if the command department wants to eliminate itself, it must do so with overwhelming force, instantly crushing its own army.

Having figured this out, Wei Qing finally made a decision, unhesitatingly using 90% of his resources to exchange for shield and spear soldiers, who were good at defending the plains, and the remaining 10% to exchange for elite cavalry.

Outside the training ground, Cao Ying led Fei Yunzhui to Cao Cao's side, looking at Wei Qing's troop deployment with some difficulty in understanding: "In this situation, in this terrain, wouldn't it be better to deploy the army mainly with cavalry?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "If it were a normal skirmish, and it happened on a plain, with the enemy outnumbering us, then choosing to break out with cavalry would indeed be a better option. But this skirmish is probably not that simple."

Cao Ying wasn't ignorant of what Cao Cao was saying, but he couldn't understand Wei Qing's approach. Did he intend to use 90% of his infantry to tie down the enemy's main force, and then take the opportunity to break through the encirclement with 10% of his cavalry? It didn't seem very plausible. Kong Youde was, after all, a sixth-grade lecturer; surely he could see through this.

Cao Cao was also puzzled: "Let's keep watching. I have a feeling that Wei Qing will bring us some unexpected surprises."

Liu Yangxin, who was in the stands, turned to Liu Shao and asked, "Vice President Liu, can you understand what Wei Qing is trying to do?"

Liu Shao smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness is joking. I am only in charge of logistics. How could I possibly understand this formation? However, I have heard that Princess Quejiafu is famous for her military command. I wonder if she can discern anything from it?"

Que Jiafu also frowned slightly. She couldn't understand it either, or rather, Wei Qing's idea was too stupid, which was why she couldn't quite understand it.

What exactly is he trying to do? It can't really be just about the infantry holding the line while the cavalry breaks out, can it? Wouldn't that leave them completely outmatched?

At the same time, the Ying, Ji, and Xiang supervisors who entered the martial arts world also joined forces with Kong Youde to begin selecting troops.

It was also primarily composed of infantry, with cavalry only appearing sporadically.

Apart from Xiang Yu, the rest of the human generals were skilled in infantry, especially the older generation of generals.

Since the goal is to instantly kill the opponent, you should naturally use the unit type you are best at.

As both sides selected their troop types and equipment, the shadow of the sundial, which displayed the countdown, finally aligned with the pointer.

The war has begun!

The moment he entered the martial arts exercise, Wei Qing didn't hesitate and immediately summoned his military spirit!

The military spirit formed by the five thousand elite infantrymen was far stronger and more real than the military spirit of the previous two times. It was as if they were no longer just souls, but flesh-and-blood people!

Before Wei Qing could make a move, two more military spirits appeared in front and behind him and launched an attack on him.

Kong Youde and Supervisor Xiang led a hundred-man team composed of soldiers capable of defeating ten thousand men, blocking Wei Qing's escape routes to the left and right.

A hundred-foot-long spear came crashing down on him, as if a giant pillar supporting the sky had collapsed and was pressing down on him.

A long blade, thirty feet long, slashed horizontally through the air behind, its momentum unstoppable, as if it wanted to cut the mountains in half.

The noble audience members stared wide-eyed at the horrifying scene.

No one could have imagined that the command department would send out such a force to deal with a freshman, determined to kill Wei Qing in one blow.

Cao Cao, Lü Bu, Liu Bei, and others all sighed inwardly.

It's over... With a three-fold resource advantage, an encirclement, and two mysterious commanders who could summon military spirits and were experienced in battle far superior to Kong Youde, this force was instantly crushed, which was not due to any fault of the battle.

It's just... being killed by such a deadly trap, it's so frustrating to watch!

boom!

Accompanied by the deafening clang of metal clashing, the dust stirred up by the three military spirits enveloped the entire battlefield, obscuring the sky and the sun for a moment.

However, at the very moment of the exchange, everyone seemed to faintly hear the words "back to the wall"!

Chapter 34: A Battle with No Retreat (Part 1)

As the dust settled, one could vaguely see a warrior spirit on the battlefield, his left arm protecting his head, blocking the spear that came crashing down, while his right hand used the spear to deflect a sharp blade coming from behind.

He blocked it! He blocked it!

Facing the combined attack of two military spirits whose combat power surpassed his own, Wei Qing not only survived but also suffered no serious injuries.

Outside the martial arts arena, inside the admissions plaza, senior students from various command departments simultaneously conjured up the four words "a desperate battle."

The first chapter of "Three Chapters on Military Strategy" is "A Battle with No Way Back to the River!"

When there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, entering a desperate state at the cost of severely injuring oneself can unleash the fighting spirit of the army to a level far exceeding normal combat power.

This is the final, desperate tactic.

However, throughout the past four hundred years, every legion that has ever used this tactic has suffered a crushing defeat.

In some situations, there is indeed a chance to fight back, but by trying to force a fatal blow, one's own side hastens its own defeat.

No one expected that even after four hundred years, someone would still go to the trouble of studying the "Three Chapters of Art of War".

What was even more unexpected was that Wei Qing actually used it when faced with a life-or-death situation.

At this moment, the surface of the spear in the hands of the Han army, which was in a desperate situation, began to peel off, revealing a shaft that looked like it was made of crystal.

Inside the gun barrel, a tangible energy was flowing, violent and fierce, continuously pouring into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath Wei Qing's military spirit began to glow crimson, and the crimson color continued to spread.

The earth... is melting...

Yes, the earth is melting!

Centered on the military hero Wei Qing, the earth within a ten-zhang radius was completely melted into boiling magma.

The energy in the magma rose up from Junhun's feet, gradually flowing into his calves, knees, waist, chest, and limbs, finally stopping abruptly at his neck.

Only crimson sparks burst in the air. The gray military spirit, which just a second ago resembled an unpainted terracotta warrior with only an antique bronze color, suddenly bursts into flames in the next second!

It was as if they were wearing a suit of blazing armor, with crimson flames burning all around them, making them look ghostly and eerie.

The soldier slowly raised his head, and vein-like patterns spread all over his body as he burned. The color of his empty eyes turned into a frenzied crimson.

Carrying water on one's back? Could this be the legendary act of carrying water on one's back?!

Is this what they call a do-or-die situation?

This is completely different from what we know about carrying water on one's back!

The three abbots stared wide-eyed. Although they had never seen or used the "backwater" state before, they had heard it mentioned quite a few times.

But no one has ever said that fighting with one's back to the river can transform the spirit of the army!

Danger!

At that moment, an extremely dangerous signal flashed through my mind!

The two military spirits retreated a hundred feet in unison. At the same time, military spirit Wei Qing stomped heavily on the ground and burst into action. The legion erupted with a deafening battle cry that soared into the sky!

Kong Youde, standing beside him, was trembling all over. He saw the dust kicked up by the military spirit rushing towards the gun-wielding military spirit being instantly burned away by the scorching flames, leaving only scattered starlight.

Who the hell told me this is a desperate, do-or-die battle after repeated failures?!

Before any of the spectators, including Quejiafu in the stands, could process this sudden scene, their pupils widened to the extreme, and they even disregarded their image and soared into the air above the martial arts arena to witness this wondrous sight up close.

Wherever the spear in the hands of the military hero Wei Qing passed, the ground cracked, and boiling, bubbling magma floated in the cracks.

And these cracks continue to spread, like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, flowing ceaselessly day and night.

"break!"

With the force of Mount Tai, the spear in the hand of Military Soul Wei Qing smashed towards Military Soul Ying Jian Yuan, who was holding a knife.

"Don't run, engage in close combat!"

A loud shout from Supervisor Ji behind him woke Supervisor Ying, who was preparing to dodge.

When facing a desperate enemy with their backs against the wall, you must not run away; the more you run, the stronger their momentum will become!

On the contrary, because the desperate situation will cause irreparable damage to the military spirit, as long as the battle continues, the opponent will definitely not be able to outlast us!

The British Chief Minister, after all, was a general who had actually been on the battlefield. After quickly adjusting his mindset, his eyes became even more determined.

Since you insist on fighting, then I'll fight you to the death!

Amidst the same shouts of battle, the Imperial Censor, controlling the military spirit, drew his sword and charged straight at the enemy.

Bang! The metal clashed!

It's like a million bombs exploding in your ears at the same time. If an ordinary person were nearby, even without considering the aftershocks, the sound alone could completely shatter their eardrums and shatter their brain.

In the instant of the exchange, the Imperial Censor felt the military spirit slip out of his control, and his soul became even more ethereal than before.

In terms of troop strength, his troop resources definitely surpassed Wei Qing's. The strength of an army's spirit also depends on the quality of its legions.

The stronger the legion, the stronger its military spirit.

However, the war between those who awaken the spirit of the army depends not only on the strength of the legions, but also on the commanders who have been awakened.

If the spirit of a soldier is the body, then the commander is the combat skills he has mastered.

In a desperate situation, the terrifying power unleashed by the military spirit controlled by Wei Qing overwhelmingly surpassed that of the military spirit controlled by the Imperial Censor!

Wei Qing was furious, feeling a burning rage in his chest.

He could sense that the two opponents could not only summon military spirits, but also used them with great skill, and even carried a strong blood aura, indicating that they had retreated from the battlefield.

Wherever you are, a commander who can inspire the spirit of the army must be at least a captain, equivalent to a thousand-cavalry commander in the Xiongnu barbarian tribe.

They are the core of the army and the backbone of the legion!

Generals die in a hundred battles, brave soldiers return after ten years!

Perhaps he returned with honors and rewards, perhaps he was promoted or ostracized, perhaps he was tired or injured. In any case, he retired from the army and came to Chang'an, the capital city, to enter the Imperial Academy.

Wei Qing believed that they had made great contributions to the Han Dynasty and the human race, and felt that they deserved to enjoy themselves, even if they indulged in wine, women, music, and pleasure like other nobles.

But! He shouldn't have appeared on today's martial arts battlefield, absolutely not!

They shouldn't be here to snipe one of them. They are following in their footsteps, risking their lives to protect their descendants for the sake of humanity!

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand." How can your current actions be worthy of those brothers who fought and bled for you, but will forever rest in eternal rest on the frontier?

Since you've stooped so low as to abandon all principles for the sake of eternal wealth and power, then fine, I'll tear off your last ridiculous fig leaf!

.........

The door-blocking will end tomorrow.
