Chapter 214 Gambler's Mentality
"There are enemies!" Fang Jin suddenly drew a knife, turned his head and shouted, "All be on guard! Get ready to fight!"
Diao Hongwu looked around. At this time, it is still day, there is no fog, the wilderness is plain, the vision is wide, and it can be far away. But with his eyesight, he can't see anything.
When he was about to ask, Fang Jin had quickly arranged it and said to him, "Mr. Diao, the enemy is about 20 miles away. The enemy has dispatched a large army. Together, several forces may cost tens of thousands of people. And if I don't feel wrong, there should be power like a practitioner in it. How to fight next?
Diao Hongwu did not make a decision, but asked, "more than 20 miles away? I can't see it! Are you sure?"
"The other party's army pressed over, so that it didn't suppress its own breath, so it's absolutely right."
"Didn't they deliberately put their breath out to make us retreat?" Diao Hongwu has never believed in the perception of breath of these guards battalion soldiers, even if it has been proved countless times in previous battles that this beast-like intuition is almost in error. The reason is that this perception is even more ** than your own perception of vitality! As a practitioner of eight meridians, how can he accept such a fact!
Fang Jin didn't know what Diao Hongwu was thinking. He thought for a moment and said, "This breath can be hidden, but it is difficult to disguise. Even if a person's breath can be suddenly enlarged, it proves that that person's instantaneous combat power increases with the enlargement of the breath. There should be nothing wrong. Mr. Diao, are you withdrawing? Is it a war?
Diao Hongwu rubbed his hands uneasily, licked his dry lips, and muttered, "Tens of thousands of people...this..." He looked back at the team that has hit less than 400 people in total now and made up his mind: "Go there first. If there are really many of them, we will run away. It should be okay."
At this time, Diao Hongwu still chose not to believe Fang Jin's judgment.
But what does it mean to "come and have a look first"? Fang Jin heard this bastard's words and suddenly had the impulse to slap him! What the army needs most before the war is to make a quick decision. Even if the judgment at that time is wrong, it needs to make a decision immediately. It changes rapidly, and the difference is thousands of miles away. These are all practical words to describe the march and war. Why do you have to "go and have a look first"?
This is the psychology of an inexperienced gambler. Not only gamblers, but also inexperienced gamblers. I think that I have perseverance, that I think that I have the ability, that I can calmly adapt to changes no matter what situation I encounter, and that I am lucky and may not run into bad situations. However, this is all thought. Diao Hongwu is like this. Now he feels that what Fang Jin said is not necessarily right. Maybe he feels wrong and the other party doesn't have so many people. Now he feels that although the number of people on his side is small, he is absolutely capable of self-defence and can escape under the pursuit of tens of thousands of people. Now he feels that he does not see the other party's army with his own eyes. He is not down-to-earth and must see it with his own eyes to give up; he now feels that since the resistance of the barbarians was not strong before, he may not use so many people at this time.
Fang Jin asked all these questions, but Diao Hongwu just didn't admit it. Instead, we prevaricate all questions on the grounds that "our task is to disrupt their arrangement and find out their troops".
According to theory, Fang Jin is the most qualified person to take charge of the army after Sun Yi's death. However, these practitioners are powerful, and the nominal supreme commander of the whole operation is also a practitioner. Fang Jin pushed the boat and obeyed Diao Hongwu's order. But at this time, he began to regret his first choice.
Everyone is ready to fight, maintain the battle formation and move forward slowly.
The enemy appears!
The appearance of three or four hundred people. However, seeing the team of three or four hundred people, Fang Jin looked even worse and said, "Mr. Diao, we should retreat immediately!"
Dao Hongwu was complacent at this time and felt that his judgment was wise. Naturally, he was not happy to hear Fang Jin's words and said, "Why should you retreat? It was the soldiers of your guard battalion that there were only a few hundred people on the other side. One-to-one, even one-to-two, we can't beat it?"
Diao Hongwu had to explain patiently: "Mr. Diao, this is a barbarian cavalry. Wild land does not produce horses, but they know how to domesticate other beasts. The barbarians riding this kind of cavalry are powerful, more than three meters high and more than five meters long. The barbarian beast alone may have to besiege more than a dozen soldiers to kill, not to mention the barbarian cavalry?
Diao Hongwu sneered: "Are you afraid? Aren't you strong in combat and sense? Then feel when they want to attack, and kill these beasts first in the gap of the attack, right? It's just a few hundred rides, fight!"
I almost said something from my mind.
Diao Hongwu is jealous. Jealous that Wang San's position is higher than him, and at this time, he is jealous that the soldiers of the guard battalion are more capable than him.
Fang Jin said urgently, "It's not like that. The beast cavalry consumes a lot and it is impossible to go out alone. Every time you go out, there must be at least ten times the number of ordinary soldiers to guarantee it! This looks like only a few hundred barbarian cavalry, but the following troops are definitely more than that!"
"But I only saw these cavalry."
"But the army behind..."
Diao Hongwu said impatiently, "When did you become a mother-in-law when you were soldiers? Don't you understand what I mean? Since we can't see the team behind, it means that the team behind will not fight with us. The barbarian cavalry sounds like a powerful but small number of arms. We will try our best to kill them when they leave the army to facilitate future actions!"
Mother-in-law? The act of waiting to see the opposite team before retreating is mother-in-law!
Fang Jin couldn't say this, so he had to say, "The barbarian cavalry is strong, and I'm afraid that he wants to get out of the battle at that time..."
"I'm afraid what! With our strength, we can't even escape? No words, the last battle!" Diao Hongwu's words were extremely heroic, as if to mention the momentum of the whole army and finally fight bravely.
It's just, how can it be like the irrational desperate heroism of a red-eyed gambler who bet all his money.
Wang San is lying on a stretcher, but he hasn't been sleeping all the time. Hearing this conversation between Diao Hongwu and Fang Jin, he quickly woke up Yun Duoduo and said, "Be more energetic. We will defeat the battle in a moment. At that time, we will escape first."
Yunduoduo is still extremely unwell. On the way to lying on the stretcher, Wang San is mainly practicing healing, while Yunduoduo has really been sleeping. The breakthrough of cultivation is getting closer and closer. Recently, Wang San has to often check the prohibition on her body to ensure that there is no problem.
So, Yunduoduo really couldn't figure out the situation at this time and asked, "Are you going to defeat the battle? Third brother, why don't you fight and just want to escape?"
