This time Liu Bei and others went to pick up Cao Cao, and the camp was empty. As long as the other party had eyes for it, they would take the opportunity to capture Liu Bei's camp. This greatly reduced the attention on Zhou Yu. After all, until now, the Xiongnu did not know that the Han army still had another enemy. The branch is located at Rushui Ferry.
Naturally, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce wanted to seize the opportunity to go to the Rushui River and bring their army over.
Liu Bei originally planned to lend troops to Sun Ce to help escort him. After all, the pure archer troops did not have close combat capabilities and mainly relied on others for cover. Sun Ce replaced all the troops with archers. To a certain extent, he completely trusted Liu Bei, so Liu Bei reciprocated by lending Sun Ce 5,000 fine cavalry to protect the archers.
Sun Ce agreed, but he did not take the five thousand elite cavalry with him when he went to the Rushui River. In Zhou Yu's words, the target was too big and they needed to be more cautious.
In short, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are only taking a small number of troops to the Rushui River, but when they come back, there will definitely be tens of thousands of elite archers. After all, the naval army in the south is really better at archery than the people in the north.
By the time Chen Xi arrived at the front camp, Liu Bei and others had basically arrived. Chen Xi took a glance and found that Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang and Yu Jin were missing. He roughly understood what was going on, so he nodded to Liu Bei.
"Are we going there like this?" Chen Xi said to Liu Bei, "Are we not bringing too many troops?"
"Wen He means that bringing so many people is enough. Besides, isn't there Zijian?" Liu Bei said with a smile, seeming to be in a good mood, "What's more, we are not going to take action, so it is useless to bring so many people. "
"Wen He, you said the Northern Huns didn't attack the camp, so what should we do if they attack us?" Chen Xi said angrily, not bothering to explain to Liu Bei that there were only 10,000 troops. If he were the Shanyu of the Northern Huns and knew the composition of this team, Definitely take action, the value of fighting this is much higher than fighting the camp.
"Don't worry, they won't come to attack us." Jia Xu said calmly, "Not long ago, the reconnaissance cavalry sent a message saying that there was something strange about the Northern Huns, so even if we attack the camp today, it will be a small fight."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, "So, you already know who those guys were who blocked us in the north?"
"Well, the Ding Ling people." Jia Xu nodded, "I guess the Northern Huns are also contacting the Ding Ling people now. After all, they are different from us. For the Northern Huns, only the Ding Ling people can be regarded as allies."
"High-end car man?" Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu with a puzzled expression and asked, while Chen Xi looked confused. He could vaguely think of some things, but there were too many things that he basically didn't have.
"To be honest, this is our ally." Fa Zheng, who has learned history very well, asked immediately.
"The Southern Huns are still our own people." Jia Xu said with a sneer, "Ding Ling was also split into two back then. I have found some information. Now that we have joined forces with the Xiongnu, we are considered Northern Ding Ling. This tribe has great fighting ability."
"I see." Chen Xi nodded, "We can let the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu go to greet them. I think the other party should be King Ding Ling himself. It seems that the Ding Ling people have completely fallen to the Northern Xiongnu. How about we lead our troops to attack. "
"Okay, if our team moves, as long as we don't go to the other side's camp, the other side will definitely receive the news, so this time the Huns and we will exercise restraint."
"What a pity." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Meng Qi, Boyuan, Ling Ming, they have gone?"
"They have already gone to greet us. Kong Ming doesn't want to go, so I will stay with Wen Chang and Wen Ze to let them guard the camp." Liu Bei said, "Let's go too. It would be rude to linger any longer."
"Then let's go." Chen Xi nodded, and Liu Bei said, "Let's go."
Then a large group of people led more than 10,000 fine cavalry to march toward the southwest. At the same time, Hu Yanchu also led more than 10,000 fine cavalry to meet King Ding Ling under the guard of Xubucheng and Qiulin Stele.
"Zilong, why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded? Is it because Yun Lu ignored you and made you a little unhappy?" Chen Xi glanced around and accidentally saw that Zhao Yun was a little blind, so he joked.
"Huh? Zichuan, what are you talking about? I was a little distracted just now, please forgive me." Zhao Yun said slightly numbly. Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised, when did Zhao Yun become like this?
"Zilong, you are not sick, are you? The last time I used that trick, it must have done a lot of damage to you." Chen Xi said with some worry.
"That's not true. The level of inner energy I had before was not enough to cause harm to me." Zhao Yun shook his head, "I have far more inner energy than a normal person. Although the previous time consumed a lot of energy, it can't be said to have hurt my muscles." Bones, I was just thinking about the white horse."
"Huh?" Chen Xi looked at Zhao Yun with a puzzled face, "BaiWhat happened to the horse? "
"It's the golden eagle I saw before. I seem to have an impression, but if I think about it carefully, I can't think of anything." Zhao Yun showed a rare hint of irritation, but he quickly adjusted it, "I'm sorry, Zichuan , I¡¯ve been in a bad mood recently due to this issue.¡±
"It's nothing." Chen Xi shook his head, "You can tell me and let me help you refer to it."
"Okay, the general situation is like this" Zhao Yun began to explain to Chen Xi. Neither of them paid much attention. Soon Zhao Yun turned from the general's team to the civil servants. Liu Bei glanced at it and said nothing.
"You mean White Horse's damage is too low and needs to be improved by other methods?" Chen Xi scratched his head. This has been discussed many times. He even came up with a cloud formation for Zhao Yun, but unfortunately it didn't have a good effect. White Horse No matter how much the attack is improved, it cannot reach the average level of a fine knight. This is a sad reality.
"That's not true. The attack power of mounted archers has reached this level and cannot be improved. What I mean is that the white horse should be able to fight in close combat." Zhao Yun shook his head. He also knew that the attack power of the white horse was extremely pathetic.
"Melee combat?" Chen Xi scratched his head. Are you kidding? The white horse's melee combat is completely seeking death. "The white horse wants to attack but not attack, and it wants to defend but not defend. It's just fast. This melee combat can be easily destroyed."
"There is no defense, but the White Horse's attack is actually quite high in melee combat. Whether it is using arrows in melee combat or directly using the saber in melee combat, the damage will not be low." Zhao Yun shook his head and said.
"That's right, but the saber is so short. If you fight other cavalry head-on, such as the Xiliang cavalry, you will be killed in close combat." Chen Xi looked at the sky and muttered to himself, and Zhao Yun was immediately speechless.
"That's true." Zhao Yun said helplessly, "Furthermore, its own defense is very poor, and the damage of the saber cannot be higher than that of the spear. The white horse has no advantage at all in close combat."
"Yes, the defense is too bad." Chen Xi said speechlessly, "The defense is so bad and you still want to fight in close combat"
Just when Chen Xi was sighing with emotion, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He looked up at the depressed Zhao Yun beside him and said, "The white horse may really be able to fight in close combat. To be honest, the flexibility of the white horse can be said to be weird."
Speaking of this, I have to mention how flexible the white horse is. Generally speaking, as long as you charge, if you dare to turn more than 60 degrees, the horse's legs will be broken. If it is a heavy cavalry, if you dare to turn 30 degrees, the horse's legs may be broken. It will all kill you.
And the white horse can turn a 180-degree turn on the spot at a very high speed, well, almost faster than the charge of the Xiliang cavalry, and it can do it without slowing down. As for the common sense of physics such as inertia, the white horse eats it up. .
This incredible dexterity simply makes it impossible for other cavalry to survive. You must know that even for humans, it is very difficult to make a 180-degree turn on the spot when running at full speed.
In short, the cavalry unit of Baima Yicong is particularly weird. At the beginning of training, it looks like a normal cavalry. The further it goes, the weirder it becomes. Gradually, its defense and attack will drop rapidly, and it will all become dexterity and speed.
"Well, flexibility and speed are indeed weird." Zhao Yun nodded, even he had to admit this.
"Zilong, if you close your eyes and can't feel your inner energy, can you still fight?" Chen Xi asked.
"Yes, even if you can't feel the inner energy, the flow of wind around you" Zhao Yun replied calmly, and then suddenly understood when he was halfway through the sentence.
Baima Yicong has a very high understanding of wind due to his speed. This level of understanding of wind may not be meaningful to other arms, but combined with Baima's weird dexterity and super speed, it is enough for Baima to dodge easily. attack.
"The lack of defense has a huge impact on melee combat, but if you can dodge all attacks, it actually doesn't matter whether you have defense or not. What's more, if you use a saber to fight in close combat, the speed of the white horse's bonus to the saber attack is enough to kill most Enemy." Chen Xi sighed.
For long-range arrow attacks, no matter how fast the white horse is, it is difficult to increase its attack much. However, after switching to melee combat, the movement speed of the white horse's melee stabbing is matched with the saber's slashing, and the damage is definitely not low.
"I think I understand. I'm afraid that's what General Gongsun's white horse looked like back then." Zhao Yun said with a wry smile. Some things are very simple to explain, but if you don't think of it, you may be stuck here for the rest of your life.
"However, even after such training, White Horse is still unable to deal with the dense formation. Once White Horse engages in close combat, it will have very strict requirements on speed. Only if the speed is fast enough can the wind be felt more clearly, so White Horse's combat can only rely on high speed. Kill." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
? ??That's enough, especially for a white horse. "Zhao Yun smiled and said, the rest is training. This is not too difficult for Baima. He may have this aspect in his elite attributes, but Zhao Yun has not inherited it. What he has to do now Just activate this attribute.
"Speaking of which, when I saw that golden eagle before, I felt a little familiar. Now that I think about it, I must have seen this method at General Gongsun's headquarters. It is a talent for sensing wind. In this case, the eagle It's even harder to deal with." After Zhao Yun figured out what Baima was missing, he started to explain to Chen Xi in a good mood.
"If I remember correctly, animals should have eaten the sacred stone when their inner energy was separated from the body." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Animals that mainly rely on instinct will naturally strengthen their instincts, and ferocious birds like eagles are mainly responsible for flying. Let¡¯s rely on Yufeng.¡±
"Most of the animals' internal energy left the body after eating the sacred stone, and some of them ate certain plants." Zhao Yun said, "Han Mou once studied this aspect. It is said that the animals will become like this after absorbing the sacred stone. Strong, what about plants? Plants absorb the essence of heaven and earth much better than animals, so why haven¡¯t we seen any weird plants?¡±
"What you say does make sense." Chen Xi touched his chin, "It is true that I have not seen any super plants, but I have seen a lot of super animals."
"Didn't Zichuan read the book on animal and plant alienation written by Han Mou?" Zhao Yun said curiously.
"No." Chen Xi said awkwardly.
"It roughly talks about why we see a lot of animal alienation, but we don't see plant alienation. Simply put, once the essence of heaven and earth contained in plants exceeds a certain limit, the keen perception of animals will contain super Eat the plants with high heaven and earth energy." Zhao Yun explained briefly.
"This is a very reasonable inference." Chen Xi nodded, "Wild animals can sense the existence of divine stones, but we humans cannot sense the existence of divine stones. From this aspect, wild animals can sense the essence of heaven and earth contained in plants. There is nothing wrong with Qi. In other words, wild animals eat a lot of plants that have the Qi of heaven and earth? "
"Yes, this is why there are not that many divine stone fragments, but there are far more animals with inner energy than the divine stone fragments. This is because some plants absorb too much of the essence of heaven and earth and have the same effect as the divine stone. "Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Plants are rooted in the earth and have the advantage of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth."
"Oh, Han Mou came up with another useless research. I remembered that he used this last time to defraud funds. He said that he wanted to cultivate plants that can have internal energy when people eat them, but I dismissed it. I guess I will use this to deceive people later, that guy sometimes has no sense of moral integrity." Chen Xi looked at Zhao Yun and said, and he suddenly had an impression after he said it.
Zhao Yun looked at Chen Xi in disbelief. Can he say that he was really shocked by Cookie's great idea? He took out his wife's book without any suspicion and asked Cookie to do research. But now Chen Xi told him this It's cookies that are cheating money.
"Zichuan, are you sure this is a scam for funds?" Zhao Yun asked with a dark face.
"They must be cheating on funds. Think about it for a moment. Plants absorb the essence of heaven and earth completely accidentally. Moreover, we have no way of detecting which of two identical plants has more essence of heaven and earth and which one has less. There is no way to solve this problem, the others must be money fraud," Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Sneeze!" Cookie, who was resting in an abandoned cottage deep in the mountains, sneezed and couldn't help but rub his nose. "Didn't those two guys say they are immune to all poisons? How could I sneeze? Is that possible? Who wants to cause trouble for me?" (To be continued.)
