Chapter 2136: The General and the General (asking for a monthly ticket!!!!)
"It seems like I really can't beat that Dabai." Kai said helplessly.
He originally planned to hold Scar King back by himself, and then Godzilla would deal with Baymax, and then they would join forces to deal with Scar King. Although they could not be the main force, they could hold Scar King back. Just because they could not kill Scar King did not mean they were useless.
But now it seems that this plan has failed. If it continues like this, I might be the first one to die. Then everything will be ruined.
What's even more disgusting is that the Asgardian warriors and Kamar-Taj wizards have suffered heavy losses. Many have died on the battlefield. Don't think that what I said before is simple and that those derivatives are rubbish. In fact, they are not rubbish at all.
He moves quickly, his body can transform into various shapes, he has no obvious weaknesses, and the key is that he is fearless and intrepid. How can you play this game?
Under Godzilla's gravity wave, they killed a lot of derivatives. Although this thing is not inexhaustible for the Black Death Sword, the price it needs to pay is definitely pitifully small. Those derivatives are actually biological weapons made of Scar King's body matter and Black Death Sword's divine power. As long as Scar King is not dead, it can make a lot of this thing. As for what to do when Scar King's biomass is consumed... Hehe, Black Death Sword has never considered this problem.
Scar King is just a tool. Do you really take good care of it when you are doing something? When a tool is in someone's hands, people will only take good care of it when it is brand new. Once the novelty wears off, it is gone. Think about how you behave after you buy your own mobile phone. For the first period of time, at most half a month, you will take good care of your mobile phone, handle it with care, and even wipe the screen with alcohol cotton. But after a while, the mobile phone is flying in the air!
What's more, Black Death Sword and Gel are both emotionless and madmen, so it would be strange if they care about Scar King, a puppet!
So they will give as many derivatives as you want.
At least in the short term, the number of these derivatives is endless.
Even if the Asgard warriors and Kamar-Taj mages are strong individually, it is useless. After all, the derivatives are not afraid of being injured, and they will definitely not be physically constrained. But the Asgard warriors and Kamar-Taj mages are not like that!
No matter how strong they are, they are still human beings and they will get tired.
Especially the mages of Kamar-Taj, they are not the kind of fragile mages who stand in the back row and cast fireballs. In fact, the mages of Kamar-Taj are all masters of close combat. (Strange even practiced boxing with those mages)
Although spells give them more choices and tactical combinations, in comparison, the quality of Asgard warriors is still higher. Their physical fitness is off the charts, and most of them are battle-hardened fighters. They are much more resilient than mages.
So the mages of Kamar-Taj suffered heavy casualties.
A Kamar-Taj wizard can deal with a hundred clones, but the hundredth clone can knock a wizard out of the battle with just one attack. Whether he is injured or killed depends on luck.
However, Asgard warriors have excellent endurance and are tough enough.
Even if you are hit, you can continue to fight until you die.
But this brings up another issue. The Asgard warriors are not afraid of the derivatives, but they are even less of a threat to them. They did bring a lot of weapons with them, and these weapons can release energy or explode, which can deal with the derivatives.
But once this thing runs out of ammunition, it's really over.
After that, you can only use melee weapons for hand-to-hand combat, but the problem is that hand-to-hand combat cannot hurt those derivatives at all.
Mages are the main force, they can easily create flames and sound waves.
So now the situation is getting worse and worse. As the wizards suffer heavy casualties, more and more Asgards are besieged by more derivatives, but they don't have any good solutions. Then they have to die in frustration.
Thor's reaction to this was actually... quite calm.
For the Asgardians, dying in battle is not something that is particularly difficult to accept. They never shy away from death, and even think that dying of old age at home is a very shameful act. The life span of Asgardians is very long, but very few people actually live to their theoretical life span.
After all, even when the Nine Realms are at their most peaceful, there will still be a bunch of trolls, frost giants and other messy creatures causing trouble for Asgard.
Peace?
This thing has never been associated with Asgard. It's just not like when Odin was young, when it was a big scene, the whole family went out to kill people, and many people died at that time, otherwise the Asgardians would not have created such a thing as the Valkyries. They are talking about Odin's personal guards, and all the Valkyries are the best female warriors.
But actually?
This is all helpless. There is no other way because too many men have died.
As a result, only female soldiers can be used.
Do you think that after Asgard has rested and recuperated, there will still be female soldiers?
If the Valkyries were really that useful, there would be no reason for Odin not to rebuild them... The main reason is that Odin is too warmongering, and even the warlike Asgardians can't stand it.
But the tradition remains the same. For the Asgardians, warriors are undoubtedly the highest honor, as are their souls and ancestors.
Thor will not be sad, only angry.
He was a warrior, and he could take comfort in dying bravely in battle.
But he is also a king and a commander. For him, the death of a soldier means the weakening of the kingdom. As a king, he has the obligation to avenge the death of his subjects! Otherwise, what kind of king is he?
So the more Asgardian warriors die, the angrier he becomes!
"Forget about that Big White. What should we do now? We can't keep wasting time like this!"
Tony roared and used the Eternal Spear to poke a big hole in Scar King's body again, but it was useless!
In less than ten seconds, the big hole was repaired again.
"There is only one way now!"
"How to do it?"
"Sacrifice you!"
Kai yelled.
"Huh?" Thor was stunned, but the next second he shouted loudly: "No problem!!!"
Thor is more adapted to the identity of a warrior, and he is not actually adapted to the identity of a king and a commander.
Whenever he led his troops to fight in the past, he was usually the first to rush in.
This way of leading troops to fight is very rare in Asgard. Generally speaking, whether it is Odin or Bauer, they fight from the back, command the battle, and then look for opportunities to make the final decision. But more often, they still focus more on their status as commanders.
Only at the most critical moment would he rush out from the midst of thousands of troops to take the general's head and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
Don't think this job is easy.
Simply put, Odin and his father Bor are actually doing Xiang Yu's work.
When talking about Xiang Yu, everyone thinks he is a reckless man, but in fact, Xiang Yu is indeed both wise and brave. (It's just that he lacks political ability, but this is another topic.)
What makes a general a wise and brave warrior? There are two reasons. First, he can find the enemy's weak link and defeat it. This is a master. Second, he can create the enemy's weak link and defeat it. This is a top master.
The essence of the entire "Art of War" lies in the two words "empty and full". Li Shimin pointed out: "I have read all the military books, and none is better than Sun Wu; among Sun Wu's thirteen chapters, none is better than "Empty and Full". If you know the empty and full situation when using troops, you will be victorious."
The Battle of Julu was definitely the highlight of Xiang Yu's military career, and it was also the key battle that transformed him from a general of the Chu State into a "King". The background at that time was that the Qin army had already occupied a large area of the anti-Qin righteous army's territory, and the situation was very critical. Facing the powerful main force of the Qin army, Xiang Yu chose a bold and almost crazy strategy - to burn his boats and fight to the death.
What is "burn the boats"?
As the name suggests, it means smashing the pot, burning the boat, and cutting off all retreat. This determination of "either win or die" not only greatly boosted morale, but also gave the Chu army an absolute advantage psychologically. Xiang Yu led a team of less than 100,000 people and defeated the main force of the Qin army under the city of Julu, directly destroying the myth of the Qin army's "invincibility". From a tactical point of view, this battle is not only a classic example of winning with fewer troops, but also a victory in psychological warfare. The Qin army was beaten to a complete loss of morale, while the anti-Qin army was in high morale, laying the foundation for the subsequent battle to destroy Qin. It can be said that without the Battle of Julu, there would be no subsequent Chu-Han contention.
If the Battle of Julu showed Xiang Yu's courage and determination, then the Battle of Pengcheng further demonstrated his military wisdom and strategic vision. The background is this: the Chu-Han contention had just begun, and Liu Bang united the armies of the princes and occupied Pengcheng, the capital of Xiang Yu. However, facing the powerful offensive of the enemy, Xiang Yu did not choose to fight head-on, but decisively gave up Pengcheng and lured the enemy deep into his territory. He personally led 30,000 elite cavalry, bypassed the enemy's defense line, and suddenly appeared in Xiaoxian, cutting off Liu Bang's supply line in one fell swoop. This move of "closing the door to beat the dog" can be called a stroke of genius. Liu Bang's army, which lost its supplies, was immediately in a desperate situation and had a dilemma. Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yu launched a surprise attack at night, defeated the main force of the Han army with a lightning speed, and achieved a brilliant victory of winning more with fewer troops. Imagine if Xiang Yu had chosen to confront head-on at that time, he would probably have fallen into a protracted war of attrition. However, he completely defeated the enemy without much effort by using the strategy of luring the enemy deep into his territory and cutting off his retreat. This battle was not only the pinnacle of Xiang Yu's military career, but also a slap in the face of those who said he was "brave but not wise."
Odin and Bauer are both of this type of people. They have a very keen sense of the battlefield. They will not mindlessly stand in the front row and fight with the soldiers. They will use tactics to pull the enemy's formation, find the enemy's weaknesses, and then rush up to directly destroy the opponent. By the way, they will challenge the enemy boss!
These are not something that a simple reckless man can do.
Thor, on the other hand, is a simple reckless man. Normally, he would leave things like combat meetings to his deputies, and he only needs to attack and charge hard.
It has a bit of the early style of Guan Erye.
In the early days, Guan Erye did not have as much military experience as he did later, but together with Zhang Fei he relied entirely on his fighting ability.
There was no other way. Liu Bei had only so much strength in the early days and was displaced everywhere. Even if Guan Erye wanted to learn the art of battle formation, he had no place to learn. Why has Guan Erye always been highly respected? On the one hand, he is loyal and brave, and on the other hand, he is really gifted!
Following Liu Da, we wandered around everywhere, wasting our best years, and at most we fought small-scale battles. (Looking at Liu Bei's battle record, we will know that this gang was the most powerful when it had thousands of people, and basically never lost. But once it started a war, it was all over, and we never won in the early stage... Especially Lao Liu, he never lost a small battle, never won a big battle, and he lost everything in the last battle)
But soon, after he took over Jingzhou, he suddenly became a master on the battlefield and beat his two neighbors so hard that they cried for their parents.
Thor certainly cannot be compared with Guan Erye during the Jingzhou period, but he is more like Guan Erye in the early period. He can really take the head of a general from among thousands of troops!
Speaking of the most famous person in history who "took the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops", it must be our Guan Yu. Because he not only killed the general in the midst of thousands of troops, but the enemy general was also the most powerful general under Yuan Shao - Yan Liang. "The Biography of Guan Yu in the Records of the Three Kingdoms" records: "Yu saw Liang's flag, rode his horse and stabbed Liang in the midst of thousands of people, cut off his head and brought it back. None of Shao's generals could resist him, so he lifted the siege of Bai Ma."
This thing is not as simple as in novels and storytelling. Two generals stand out to fight... This kind of thing is probably only seen in the primitive tribal period. Fighting generals is just an interpretation. It is very rare to kill a general in the midst of thousands of troops, and Guan Erye is the most valuable among them!
Thor has the sense of smell of a wild beast. He can always find the enemy leader in the chaotic battlefield and then kill him in a one-on-one fight!
You can't say he has no brains, but he really rarely uses them.
So when he heard that Kai wanted to sacrifice him, he agreed without any hesitation.
As a king and a commander, doing this would definitely be a failing grade, or even a negative score.
But as a fighter, this is a very good trait.
"Do you see that crystal?" Kai pointed at the crystal at the end of Scar King's snake whip.
That thing was a long crystal. At first, no one paid much attention to it. They just thought it was the tip of a whip, used to increase its lethality.
But Kai and Thor are both veterans.
By now, they had discovered something was wrong.
That is, Scar King has never used the crystal to attack anyone, which means that the thing is not a weapon in essence.
Moreover, every time Scar King controls the Snow Demon, the crystal will shake.
Kai could even feel that the crystal contained a huge amount of energy, and this energy had a subtle connection with the snow demon!
"I see!"
"That thing may be the key! Now you must create an opportunity for me to destroy the crystal!" Kai said.
Thor was in a bit of a dilemma now.
He could understand the matter, but he didn't know what to do!
