Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six: If the Tao is poor, it will change, and if the material is poor,(1/2)

The magic weapon can only be shown in the hands of masters. Even if the weapon in the hands of a martial arts master is just an ordinary sword, it is enough to break the mountain and break the rock without any damage to the sharp blade. If the sword is damaged, the biggest possibility is that his martial arts are completely broken. At that time, even the magic weapon in his hands is meaningless.

Of course, the above are all very extreme situations. Under general circumstances, martial arts powerhouses often have divine weapons in their hands, and divine weapons can also greatly enhance their strength.

Shi Yi held a single sword he had snatched and charged and killed on the top of the city. He did not blindly pursue his own killing, but pursued the highest efficiency. He rushed to a subordinate and knocked down the enemy around him. Shi Yi would not make up for another sword, but attacked the next target, and the subordinate would finish the knife and take the head.

"General, take the knife!"

A warrior wearing Kaiyan's collar armor took off the bound scimitar from his back, and threw it towards Shi Yi with all his strength. With a whoosh, Shi Yi waved his hand to take the knife and pulled it out clangingly. With the extremely sharp dragon bone scimitar in his hand, Shi Yi's combat power increased several times.

At this moment, a garrison adjusted its city defense crossbows and fired at Leni Tros who was casting his flame hand. A large crossbow gun burst into the air with a sound. When Leni noticed it, his face suddenly changed. This kind of heavy crossbow can be used to attack the city. He had no idea whether his long-range protective spell could be defended.

However, just as Leni felt that he was about to be bombarded, a sharp shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and at the same time it brought a dazzling sword light. Shi Yi flashed by, and the crossbow gun in the air was cut off diagonally, breaking his right head.

(I actually cut off the fired crossbow gun with a knife!!)

When Lenitros was shocked, the tank Olmedo lurking in the distance also saw the flames rising. He was the first to howl and rush out. When he saw that the main general was like this, the soldiers behind the tank also howled and followed him out.

Because there are no trees near the Kaiyan Leader (city defense needs), even in the night, everyone lurks far away, and it will take some time to rush to the city. The people who are fighting on the city wall are even more excited when they hear the charge of reinforcements below.

"Open the city gate and let our brothers come in." At this time, Shi Yi had a shield that he had taken in his left hand. He held the shield with his left hand and held the knife with his right hand. It was impossible for him to turn the mechanism himself. Shi Yi's rotation speed was only slightly faster than that of ordinary soldiers, but his combat and killing efficiency was several times that of ordinary soldiers.

Because the guard captain was alert and cautious just now, the defensive power on the city was completely activated. The twenty soldiers who used the Kaiyan Corps to replace the defense did not return to their respective homes in the city, but lived in the dormitory. Therefore, the speed of the gushing out was quite slow. However, when they walked out, they saw Shi Yi holding a shield in his left hand and his right hand holding a knife in his right hand, and two people stood in the pool of blood in the corpse.

The remaining personnel were all sent by Shi Yi and brought to the city gate by the young mage Leni. The Kaiyan Corps did not have a moat. The city gate was not in the form of a suspension bridge. Instead, the outer layer was dropped with a thick iron railing gate, and then closed with wooden doors on both sides. Because of the heavy iron railing gate, the Kaiyan Corps was very troublesome and heavy, and it would take several strong men to operate it with the power of machinery. However, this kind of thing was also a defensive advantage.

In ancient times, warriors with Qi and blood system transformation into the power level were wearing heavy armor, good horses and horses, and holding large guns could kill hundreds of people like cutting grass, cracking soil and tying borders, and becoming kings and marquis.

But that is because the martial artists of the Huajin level are strong and can wear heavy armor. At the same time, the strength spreads throughout their bodies, and can withstand strong blunt attacks without any injuries. In ancient battlefields, most powerless attacks are useless to them. In addition, they are easy to kill people, so of course they are big killing weapons on the battlefield. Therefore, the ancients said that a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

But if you take off the heavy armor, the Warrior-level warrior, like an ordinary person, will be shot at the vital point and will die as if he is bleeding. The situation on the battlefield is chaotic. If you are not lucky, many unexpected situations will be avoided by infinite predictions.

Therefore, even Shi Yi was very cautious in this situation. He protected his body with his left zither shield and held a knife in his right hand. Instead of rushing forward to kill people, he led his two subordinates to block the soldiers of Kaiyan Leader who ran out of the camp, not allowing them to interfere and prevent Leni from opening the city gate.

Because of the fierce and bravery that Shi Yi showed before, the indescribable spirit of the swordsman who could be clearly perceived, the new recruits of Kaiyan's leader were actually depressed and looked at each other for a moment but dared not move forward.

The leader of Kaiyan is rich in crossbow soldiers, and there are also crossbow soldiers among them, but Shi Yi and two subordinates were stuck in a dead corner along a wall. At least in this era, Shi Yi dares to say that no one knows better than him how to block the shooting trajectory!

When the iron railing of the city gate was pulled up, the gate was opened, and the tank rushed in with the main force, the overall situation of Kaiyan's leader had already reached the point. No matter how strong the city defense was and how good the city defense facilities were, if there was a lack of sufficient elite soldiers to operate, it would be equal to nothing.

The army quickly occupied the entire Kaiyan Territory and surrounded the Simpsons' inner castle.

"It seems that my son has failed. The Lord of the Frost Wolf Corps, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities that the defeated nobles should bear, but please also keep the honor that they should have as a noble and stop doing unnecessary killing."

When Shi Yi came to the Simpsons' inner castle wearing armor and riding a war horse again, a white-haired old lady came forward to take charge. Due to years of war, almost all the adult men in the Simpsons' family were dead or disabled, so there was no need to exterminate the clan again.

"Great Lady, the Simpsons will be deprived of their titles, land and wealth that they originally had. You can keep some items, but they need to be inspected, and you will next move to the Frost Wolf Corps and live as civilians."

After Shi Yi made a promise in public, the old lady with gray hair ordered people to open the inner castle, and the Simpsons of the Kaiyan leader disappeared, and from then on, this will be the territory of the Frost Wolf leader.

He seized the hardest hard-to-kill leader of Kaiyan overnight, known as the hardest-to-check among the five major territories. Shi Yi ordered the betrayed former garrison leader Tao Ma to be the consul, and ordered a Hewan leader infantry captain to be the sheriff to jointly manage the land.

Next, forty-six infantrymen from the Hewan Corps will be stationed here, mixed with local troops as defensive forces, and the forty Frost Wolf Spearheaders who have not suffered any losses will return to the Frost Wolf Corps after a night of rest.

Although it is not wrong to run back and forth like this, Shi Yi's rule is high enough and his prestige is strong enough, and he won consecutive victories. On the other hand, Shi Yi rewarded enough gold coins and materials, which emptied the Simpsons' inner warehouse. For old families like this, the cost of survival is very high.

It is said that three generations are needed to cultivate aristocrats, but because all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are very particular, high expenses are required in all aspects.

The nobles who were civilians raised cavalry teams, the old nobles raised female slaves and clowns, and then the civilian nobles rose and the old nobles were destroyed. This seemed to be a cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, the aristocratic class itself will also unite and frantically block and suppress the opportunity for civilians to advance. This union reaches its extreme, which is the kind in the Middle Ages on Earth. The long-term intermarriage between the royal family and the royal family, and between the nobles and the nobles, resulting in the mutual relatives. When you are not their relatives, you must not be a noble. At this point, the logic is closed.

As mentioned above, it is actually to reflect one thing, that is, although the Simpsons feel that they don’t have much money, when Shi Yi hollowed out their inner warehouse, he found that there was really a lot of money, and even if he could buy a horse, it would be enough to raise a cavalry team by himself.

The wealth in the minds of old aristocrats is not the same as the wealth in the minds of ordinary aristocrats.

Two days later, between the mountains.

"You are so anxious to return to the Frost Wolf Corps, and you are going to attack the Hewan Corps, right? In fact, why bother to be so anxious? You should slowly digest the Kaiyan Corps, so that your strength will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, the two lords in the north will not attack you desperately, and swallow land nearly three times the size of their own in a short period of time. Such a decision is too radical."

Forty Frost Wolf Spearheads and twenty Kaiyan leader crossbowmen guarding the Simpsons' tribesmen and wealth who went to Frost Wolf's leader, tanks managed them, while Shi Yi and the young wizard Leni were riding on the mountain road.

Leni took the opportunity to advise Shi Yi not to be too greedy to continue the battle. Although Shi Yi fought very beautifully, whether it was the defensive battle of the Frost Wolf Leader or the siege of the Kaiyan Leader, all kinds of unstable factors also existed.

Let the betrayer become the consul and let the warriors of the Hewan Territory stationed at the Kaiyan Territory. These steps are indeed exquisite arrangements, but if the warriors of the Hewan Territory conflict with the civilians of the Kaiyan Territory, the fragile balance will be broken immediately. At that time, the situation on Shi Yi's side will deteriorate completely, and it is possible that it may even lead to a collapse.

"What? After all, it's my hometown and my father, I feel heartbroken?" Shi Yi said with a smile after hearing Leni's advice.

"I'm worried that you will be broken. I will not only bear the reputation of betrayal, but also the name of stupidity."

"It's not the case that I can decide whether to fight or not, but even if I don't want to fight, your father will probably come to beat me!"

"After I transferred forty Frost Wolf Spearmen, the entire Frost Wolf Corps had less than eighty professional soldiers who managed one hundred and ninety prisoners. If I were your father Duke Tros, I would have definitely fought for the troops I could fight first." Shi Yi rode in front of him and said this.

"Impossible, I still understand my father. He doesn't have that courage at all. What's more, the Hewan Corps has suffered heavy losses and can gather a unit of 100 people at most. How can a unit of such a size capture the Frost Wolf Corps? If it is your command, there is still a little possibility." While making such an assertion, Leni Tros flattered Shi Yi without hesitation, but he was really impressed by the military talent of the people in front of him. Whether it is the Frost Wolf Corps' defensive battle or the Kaiyan Corps' siege, they all achieved the greatest results with the smallest losses.

Therefore, the troops under Shi Yi have not only not decreased due to successive wars, but are even increasing. Of course, because of the load of the territory, it requires garrison protection, so it is reduced, but this is not because of the decrease in casualties.

"No courage? If you really don't have courage, how could you use the strategy of your old general? If you really don't have courage, there wouldn't even be the defensive battle of the Frost Wolf Leader that night. If I hadn't woken up at the last moment, I would have been almost defeated."

"Your father has no choice. If he doesn't take advantage of the gap between the second northern leader's fight and recuperate, then after the second northern leader recovers, the first thing he wants to capture is not my Frost Wolf Corps, but his Hewan Corps. Because everyone knows that the leader of the Hewan Corps is economically prosperous, and the leader of the Frost Wolf Corps is bitter and cold. The two northern leaders are not short of combat power. Only after capturing the leader of the Hewan Corps and obtaining enough resources can they fully develop their military strength. As long as they figure this out, the Duke of Tros will have only one way to go."

After Shi Yi's suggestion, he figured out the key points. Leni Tros's face slightly changed and said, "Since the Hewan leader has a very strategic value in economic prosperity, why don't you attack the Hewan leader but instead attack the Kaiyan leader first?"

"Because the river pirates in your hometown are really powerful, I have to give your father some chances to win and let him choose to fight."

"Then, kill most of the river pirates in the Hewan Territory in one battle..." Before Shi Yi finished speaking, Leni Tros had already fully understood and said the answer directly.

What Shi Yi wants is a balanced economic development center, so river pirates must be eliminated. These guys are similar to coastal pirates, and at least most of them must be eliminated. Otherwise, the local commercial development and tax collection will be suppressed too much.

A conversation with the Lord of Frost Wolf made Leni Tros' head buzz, but at the same time made him completely believe that the man in front of him was a talented man who unified the world and quelled the war. He became more and more confident about his decision: he did not betray the family. In the face of such an existence, the Tros family had no chance to win, and his choice was to be better continued for the family.

When the territory of the Lord of Frost Wolf became larger and larger, the leader of the River Bay would still return to the hands of the Tros family. After everyone returned to the leader of the Frost Wolf, they received news that Duke Ector Tros personally led the army to attack. The troops in his hands were 200, including a fifty-man cavalry unit leased from the second leader of the Northern Territory.

…………………

How much money did Duke Tros spend and what conditions could he offer to make the second northern leader piece together to piece together a cavalry unit of fifty people for him. It is unknown where the leader of the Frost Wolf is, but only from the perspective of the size of the army, Duke Tros really emptied the leader of the Hewan.

On the night of the Frost Wolf's Defensive Battle, the Hewan Leader sent a total of 150 professional soldiers, and the remaining troops were only enough to defend. However, after obtaining news of the defeat through the Light Cavalry, Duke Tros quickly recruited a large amount of money and expanded the 50 professional soldiers to a scale of 150.

River pirates are actually relatively wealthy fishermen, with relatively strong physiques than ordinary civilians. They can also equip better armor and weapons with wealth. However, because they have wealth, if they are not paid high enough, these fishermen will not join the army to fight for their lives. Now they directly recruit 100 adult river pirates. The expenses are probably no less than directly forming a 50-person cavalry team, but the actual combat power of the two is incomparable.

Duke Ector Tros' idea was to rely on this army that was pieced together at a high price to forcibly capture the Frost Wolf Corps, which was limited by a large number of prisoners and war damage. However, although he rushed to the scene, Yano Afar was too fast to capture the Kaiyan Corps. When he learned from the Qingqi Scouts that a seventy-man army was already a little white-haired and bald, and a bright armored old man was a little confused, but he still felt that the situation was hopeless and there was no chance.

The seventy-man troops merged into the original troops in the city. Although the army still maintained its advantage for the time being, it would be a bit delusional to use this advantage to break through the city.

When Duke Ector Tros was ready to retreat and return to the leader of the river beside to think about his strategy, the Lord of Frostwolf Yano Afar personally led a unit of 120 people to catch up with Duke Tros and start a battle with him.

Duke Ector Tros, with a total force of two hundred, a cavalry of fifty, an archer of thirty, an infantry of twenty, and a hundred river robbers.

Yano Afar, with a total force of 200, forty spearmen, twenty infantry, twenty archers, and forty frost wolf spearmen.

Although he went around, the old team used to fight the final battle was Shi Yi's just arrived. The newly formed thirty Kaiyan crossbowmen and the newly recruited 60 Frost Wolf Spearheads were all left in the city to supervise the prisoners... In fact, it is not impossible to kill all the prisoners directly and go into battle lightly, but they are all well-trained professional soldiers after all. Shi Yi has regarded them as his future source of troops, but he refuses to kill them directly.

"Master, this battle is not easy to fight. Although we have forty spearmen, the fifty cavalry on the enemy are still very difficult to deal with. They will not fight head-on with us. The cavalry has a mobile advantage, not to mention that our total strength is even smaller." Military general Yanos looked worried. He knew that letting Duke Ector Tros go back. It would be ten times hard to fight in the future. However, if a bet like this, if one is not good, it will lose all the advantages he had won before.

This battle may not be a tragic victory. It must be a hearty victory. Otherwise, the decision of the lord of his family would be a mistake.

However, with such force in hand, Yanos felt it was difficult or even unimaginable to win a big victory. In the cold weapon war, the cavalry will always be the core army and the decisive weapon. Because they will lose and cannot escape if they lose. Not to mention that the entire army will be wiped out, at least most of them will be killed or injured. However, even if they win, it will be difficult to expand the results of the battle. The defeat will be determined, and the cavalry will come and go like the wind and will not fight to the end.

If it was the battlefield in ancient China, the scale of a war that was often tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people was fortunate, because there was a possibility of siege, but on the battlefield where a thousand-person battle in the West was even a war, the Knights could not stop it.

This is also the reason why the Second Ridge in the North was finally willing to support two cavalry teams with a lot of money, because the captain of the cavalry was not the Duke of Ector Tros. Once the battle situation was not good, the two cavalry would choose to retreat.

Of course, they will do their best if they should do their best, because the lord behind them does not hope that Frost wolf Ridge will be completely enlarged.

In the decisive battle of the plains, Duke Ector Tros was the first to advance with a 50-man army mixed with infantry and archers. Behind this mixed force was a river pirate of 100 people. He also knew in his heart that the cavalry regiment on his opponent lacked dominance. It was okay to let them obey orders in normal circumstances and fight with the wind, but it was impossible to let them fight to the death directly for themselves. Therefore, such marching tactics were not expected to win with their own troops. As long as his 150-man army could force their opponents to mess up, then when the cavalry regiment rushed into the melee circle, he would win.

"Foreign Army, defend! Archers, volley!"

Shi Yi rode his horse in front of the battlefield and directly commanded the battle. Tanks Olmedo and mage Leni Tros stood beside him, and Yanos was the captain of the personal guard and directly commanded forty frost wolf spearheaders.

In the early stage, infantry advances and archers attack each other are all okay, but military operations are just conventional operations, but when the two armies hedge to a certain distance, the forty Frost Wolf Spearmen who were leaning against the back formation began to enter the field, because each Frost Wolf Spearmen had only seven spears on their bodies, so the number of throws was limited. If the enemy did not reach a certain distance, they would not choose to attack.

When the distance reached a certain point, accompanied by Shi Yi's gesture, Yanos yelled: "Prepare. Let it go!"

Wow, swow, swow, spear, spear, flew high into the air, and then smashed into the enemy's array with a beautiful parabola.

In the first round of attack, nearly ten people were killed or injured in the enemy's formation. Yanos thought that his lord would leave part of the spear to the opponent's cavalry, but he did not receive such an order because Yanos could only issue orders over and over again, causing extreme damage to the opponent as much as possible. Although the river thieves on the opposite side also had some axes and javelins on their bodies, their level of using this weapon was completely insufficient to compare with the specialized Frost Wolf Spearheader.

After seven consecutive rounds of throwing, the mixed troops of 150 people were almost destroyed by sixty or seventy people, nearly half of which. Fortunately, the distance was finally very close. Both sides quickly joined the formation, and forty frost wolf spearheads changed from long range to melee, drew out their carry-on weapons and began to charge and fight.

Although the Frost Wolf Spearmen mainly focus on long-range killing, their melee ability is only slightly weaker than that of infantry, not inferior to that of river pirates, and even stronger. However, as the melee battle brought forty spearmen in the array, the cavalry troops in the distance finally began to move.

As long as you avoid the restraint of the arms of the spear array and the fifty horses charge in, you can directly bring huge lethality to rewrite the battle situation. Moreover, it seems that in order to pursue extremely effective killing, the two cavalry teams attacked from both sides separately, as if they were a double-headed dragon tactic, the troops were divided into two groups and attacked the center together.

"Tank, go to the battle with great pleasure. If you can't win, you won't be allowed to come back."

"Yes!" After receiving the order from the Lord, he could no longer hold back his giant tank. Olmedo roared and raised his iron spear and rushed into the formation. He only attacked but not defended, advanced but not retreated. Even when he threw an axe and slashed at him, he could only make this guy attack more and more crazy.

"Renie, you should join the battlefield, too. But remember, don't interfere in my battle!"

"Ah!?" The fifty cavalry not far away were about to reach it, and Erené Tros's intelligence could not understand the meaning of Shi Yi's words for a while.

However, he understood the next moment, because Shi Yi had already lifted his sword alone, Ce Qi rushed out, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "If you interfere with my battle, I will kill you directly."

A very plain narrative, there were not even many emotional ups and downs, but Leni Tros clearly felt that the other party was serious.

Not to mention that our young mage was confused, when the fifty-man cavalry team saw the Lord of Frost Wolf rushing out with a knife, they were also confused, but the next moment they turned their horse head to Shi Yi and rushed over. If they could kill the Lord of Frost Wolf, it would be more glorious and meritorious to them than winning this war.

Crazy, crazy, almost everyone who has the wise and hard work to observe the battlefield feels that the Lord of Frost Wolf is completely crazy.

However, at this moment, Shi Yi's eyes were calm and thorough, and there was no other emotion except for the extreme concentration.

When the Tao is poor, change, and when things are poor, they are reversed. Almost all martial arts in the world are created with the purpose of killing and destruction, but to truly reach the extreme and break through the extreme, what ultimately brings is something opposite to the eyes, life and evolution.
To be continued...
