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 had 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 bring 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 going to the Rushui River with a small number of troops, 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 just 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, what do you think the Northern Huns will do if they attack us if they don't attack the camp?" 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 Xushen said calmly, "Not long ago, the reconnaissance cavalry sent a message saying that there was some unusual movement by 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 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." Fazheng, who has learned history very well, asked immediately.
"The Southern Xiongnu are still our own people." Jia Xu said with a sneer, "Ding Ling was also divided into two back then. I have found some information. Now that we have joined forces with the Xiongnu, we are the Northern Ding Ling. This tribe has great fighting ability."
"I see." Chen Xi nodded, "We can let the Shanyu of the Northern Huns 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 Huns. How about we lead our troops to attack.
"
"Okay, if our group moves, as long as we don't go to the other side's camp, the other side will definitely receive the message, so this time the Huns and we will exercise restraint."
"What a pity." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Meng Qi, Boyuan, Lingming, they have gone?"
"They have already gone ahead to greet them. Kong Ming doesn't want to go, so Wen Chang and Wen Ze and I will stay and 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 Xu Bucheng and Qiulin Monument.
"Zilong, why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded? Is it because Yunlu 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.
"Eh? 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 previous level of internal energy was not enough to cause harm to me." Zhao Yun shook his head, "I have far more internal energy than a normal person. Although the previous consumption was huge, 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 expression, "What happened to Baima?"
"It was the golden eagle I saw before. I seemed to have some impression, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn'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 because of this problem.”
"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 the damage of the white horse is too low and other methods need to be improved?" Chen Xi scratched his head. This has been discussed many times. He even came up with a cloud formation for Zhao Yun. Unfortunately, it didn't have a good effect. The 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 cavalry archers has reached this level. It is impossible to improve it. 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 kind of melee combat can be easily destroyed."
"There is no defense, but the attack of the white horse 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 true, but the saber is so short. If you fight head-on with other cavalry, 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 it is charging, if it dares to turn more than 60 degrees, the horse's legs will be broken. If it is a heavy cavalry, if it dares 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 not slow down. As for the common sense of physics such as inertia, the white horse has eaten it up.
Already.
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 still 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 really 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 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 and said.
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 this is 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 still cannot 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.
"This is enough, especially for White Horse." Zhao Yun smiled and said, the rest is training, which is not too difficult for White Horse, and his elite attributes may have this aspect.
It's just that Zhao Yun didn't inherit it. What he has to do now is to 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 way, the eagle
It's even harder to deal with." After Zhao Yun figured out what the white horse lacked, 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 while 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 animals will become like this after absorbing the sacred stone.
Strong, what about plants? Plants can absorb the essence of heaven and earth much better than animals, so why haven’t we seen any weird plants?”
"It does make sense to say that." 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 with some curiosity.
"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 simply.
"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, that is to say, wild animals have eaten a lot of plants that have the Qi of heaven and earth?"
"Yes, this is also the reason 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 they 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 has no sense of moral integrity sometimes." Chen Xi looked at Zhao Yun and said, after he said it, he suddenly had an impression.
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 to defraud funds?" Zhao Yun asked with a dark face.
"They must be cheating on funds. If you think about it, plants absorb the essence of heaven and earth completely accidentally, and 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 even this, and the others behind them 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.)
