Chapter Sixteen: The Twenty-Four Pillars Battle of Attack and Defense

  ♂?,,

  The north wind rises, and the war flag flutters. Today is the day of the first round of the tribal war.

  Ling Tian City, 37th district, 8th block. Nearly three thousand Earth Tribe instructors returned to their posts and gathered in the square next to the central district. Row after row, column after column of Earth Tribe war flags fluttered in the wind.

  A fourth-grade military rank middle school teacher stood at the forefront of all teams participating in the bloody battle mission, making a pre-war mobilization speech.

  He held a hexagonal token in his hand, which was a special transmission device for participating in tribal wars - the battlefield transmission order. It can transmit 1,200 people at a time.

  Pre-war preparations were completed a day in advance, and all participants, including Lin Feng, received high-level recovery potions and yuan stones temporarily sent by the clan.

  The passionate mobilization speech ended, and the fourth-level military instructor held up the battlefield transmission order in his hand, shouting at the people around him: "All those who participate in the bloody battle mission, please gather around me. We will transmit into the battlefield."

  Everyone surrounded the four-star military officer as the center, a strong light burst out from the battlefield transmission order, forming a huge transmission light gate, which sucked Lin Feng and others in.

  When Lin Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desolate and empty city.

  A gigantic stone pillar stands upright in the center of the city, surrounded by a 30-meter-high earthen wall. Further away, there is an endless desolate plain, and vaguely visible are several giant pillars that stand upright in the distance, just like the one in the city center.

  "Twenty-four Pillars Battle of Offense and Defense." Lin Feng muttered softly.

  Six days ago, Lin Feng had already used his spiritual insight to extract some information about today's bloody battle from the soul of that blue-clothed middle-ranking officer. This 24-pillar offensive and defensive battle was a map that the opponent had chosen long ago.

  Twenty-four massive stone pillars, twelve on each side. Whichever side first shatters all the opponent's pillars wins. After a day and night, the one who has shattered more of the opponent's pillars is declared the winner. The loser faces death or becomes a slave to the other side.

  The act of destroying a pillar is called "pillar plundering", and the act of protecting a pillar is called "pillar guarding".

  The most difficult part of the 24-rod attack and defense battle lies in the arrangement of tactics.

  How many people are assigned to seize the pillar, and how many people are assigned to defend the pillar? Is it divided into multiple points to seize the pillar, or is it a single dragon to seize the pillar? Is it abandoning most of the pillars, concentrating forces to defend only a few pillars, or dispersing manpower, flexibly and mobilely defending each pillar?

  To make the most correct decision, first of all, we must understand what the other party wants to do and make targeted arrangements in order to achieve victory.

  Apart from this, there are also two common tactics: "yuan qiang zhu" and "yuan shou zhu". Because these tactics have no plan to speak of, the outcome is simply a test of each side's strength. Especially with "yuan qiang zhu", this behavior is no different from betting everything on one throw, it has a strong sense of "either succeed or die trying".

  However, few people would choose to rush to the pillars, because outside each of the twelve pillars on both sides, there is a ruined city guarding.

  In such a situation, if one side is attacking the pillar and the other side is defending the pillar, then it is undoubtedly that the defensive side has an advantage. Unless the attacking side has much more power than the opponent, otherwise it is impossible to win.

  Today, the Blue Army chose a very aggressive tactic of rushing the enemy's pillar.

  One thousand two hundred people, divided into six squads of two hundred each, marched towards the six stone pillars at the edge of the Earth tribe's territory with a resolute attitude.

  ……

  ……

  The Earthlings' side.

  Captain Chen Zong was tensely issuing orders one by one.

  "The Third Squadron."

  Arrived.

  "Scattered troops patrol along the midfield and quickly release signals upon discovering suspicious personnel."

  "Yes."

  "The Fourth Squad."

  Arrived.

  "Scattered troops patrolled between stone pillars and reported local footprints immediately."

  "Yes."

  Two large teams, totaling two hundred people, dispersed into the wilderness, each carrying a signaling arrow to search for enemy tracks. In this battlefield, all communication tools were unusable, even the communication function of military rank badges was suspended, so only ancient signaling arrows and other communication tools could be used.

  "The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth battalions, from south to north, each guarding two stone pillars."

  "Yes."

  "The rest of the troops stayed put and waited for orders, wherever there was a need, we would rush to wherever..."

  Lin Feng and others were assigned to the same team as Chen Zong, where they didn't need to go anywhere, just hide in the city and guard the most important stone pillar with everyone else. It was very safe.

  Lin Feng didn't want to stay in the city because he knew that now wasn't the time for the opponent to launch a general attack. Although the opponent had mobilized almost all of their troops, those people were lower-ranking instructors and weren't very powerful. His side was currently not in any danger.

  He now urgently needs souls to upgrade his dead soul, and the current Blue Dawn tribe is an irreconcilable blood feud with himself. Killing them and plundering their souls will not make Lin Feng feel a shred of guilt. Lin Feng does not want to miss this opportunity.

  "Chen Jiao." Lin Feng walked forward.

  "Ah, Lin Feng, what's up?" Chen asked with a smile.

  Lin Feng asked with a hint of skepticism: "Why should we adopt the tactics of Yuán Shòu Zhù? Isn't this being too passive?"

  Chen Zong smiled and said, "There's no way around it. The enemy's overall strength is greater than ours. Without the help of terrain, it's hard for us to gain an advantage over them."

  "However, if we keep defending, when time runs out and our destroyed stone pillars are fewer than theirs, what can we do?"

  Chen Zong thought for a moment and said: "We'll first take advantage of the defensive pillar to wear them down and reduce their numbers, then launch a counterattack when we have the upper hand, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

  Seeing that the other party had already made plans, Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and could only tell what he had learned from the middle-ranking instructor of the Blue River clan.

  "They're saying that they used lower-ranking officers to crash into stone pillars, intentionally getting themselves killed in large numbers to paralyze us and delay our time?"

  Chen Ran's face changed color as he listened, shaking his head and saying: "This is impossible, who would send their own men to their deaths?"

  Lin Feng sneered, "Don't forget that this is a bloody war. The Blue River clan has tens of thousands of lower-ranking officers, what's the big deal about killing a thousand or so? As long as they can win the victory, even if only one person is left, it won't hurt their vitality at all. Moreover, the Blue River planet is an imperial system, with four kings under the emperor, each controlling heavy troops. The lower-ranking officers who came to be cannon fodder this time are probably from the hands of those kings and nobles. By completing the plan, they also weakened the power of their subordinates, a two-for-one deal, what can't be done?"

  Chen Zong still didn't believe it: "But without these 1,100 lower-ranking officers, what makes them think they can win against us? If we keep fighting like this, even if we don't have much time left, they definitely won't have many people left either. By then, we can almost deploy all our troops, divide into twelve routes, and directly clear out all his stone pillars."

  Lin Feng retorted: "A hundred intermediate instructors versus a thousand lower instructors, which side is stronger?"

  Chen Zidao said: "If scattered, a mid-ranking officer is hard to win against ten lower-ranking officers, but if combined, one hundred mid-ranking officers with sufficient innate energy can kill countless lower-ranking officers?"

  "This is it." Lin Feng smiled and said, "They gave up all the lower-ranking instructors, but lost less than half of their combat power. They were able to take down several of our stone pillars. The key point is that time is running out, and we will definitely launch a proactive attack on this side in order to rush for time. We will send out a large number of people at once. At that time, the opponent will dispatch 100 mid-ranking instructors to seize the pillar all at once. If the remaining people on our side cannot hold onto the last few stone pillars, what will be the outcome?"

  "This……" Chen Zong was speechless, Lin Feng's words were indeed correct. He had only been defending, if the opponent really used the lives of over a thousand lower-ranking officers to delay time, and destroyed even one stone pillar at the last moment, he would definitely lose.
