8. Under the White Horse

bean bags.

This is a very magical treasure.

After so many years of experiments, Li Shushi learned that this thing has two known functions. One of them is that the bean bag can be filled with nearly unlimited recovery beans. At the same time, with just a thought, the bean bag can be filled with beans.

The recovery bean was summoned into his mouth, and the recovery was "moistened" by the bean bag (Li Shushi said he didn't know the principle, but let's put it this way)

Used beans are extremely easy to absorb, and can restore the body's injuries and lost HP almost instantly. At the same time, it can also restore the lost physical strength to a small extent. There is no need to drink recovery beans like usual, and you can recover.

It takes a long time to recover HP from rice porridge and dry rice. Naturally, the more serious the injury, the longer the recovery time will be.

Of course, if you just chew and don't think of a way to get those recovery beans into your stomach, then naturally it is impossible to exert its rapid absorption effect, but this is not entirely a bad thing, because this is simply the recovery benefits produced by the bean bag.

Holding the beans in your mouth can actually restore HP, but the recovery speed will become extremely slow, and it looks like continuous healing.

This is not an idle pain, but a special method done out of necessity. After all, if you always use your mouth muscles, it will definitely easily cause mouth muscle fatigue over time, which may cause cramps.

As for another way to use bean bags, I believe Li Shushi has demonstrated it to everyone perfectly before - as a personal sundry collection tool, the performance of bean bags is simply too perfect, but there is always something that needs to be sorted out for lazy people.

It would be a huge disaster for people, but Li Shushi finally developed the good habit of carefully classifying his "collection" after countless bad incidents of having to find the items he needed from a pile of things.

.

But treasures are indeed treasures, and the appearance fee for bean bags is definitely staggering.

Military rations are a special material that is different from civilian rations. Although it is not difficult to find workshops in various places that can produce military rations. But even so, the cost of military rations is still sky-high compared to civilian rations.

Take the recovery beans that Wen Chou is constantly chewing in his mouth.

The materials for making recovery beans are generally soybeans, mung beans and broad beans. The yields of these three types of beans are actually relatively low. It can be said that ordinary people will not choose to plant this crop on a large scale, because it will have huge consequences.

It may lead to a more serious famine, and only in the southern parts of the Central Plains is it possible to grow wheat and beans in the same field in two crops a year.

Even the cheaper varieties can be sold for at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per stone in these years.

So how much does recovery beans cost?

One stone costs almost a hundred gold.

As for the specific value of one gold in the Han Dynasty, some say it is one pound of gold, while others say it is the number of copper coins that can be cast from one pound of copper material, or one pound of copper coins - the credibility of the latter statement is really limited.

In the Han Dynasty, one pound was 248 grams and one baht was 0.65 grams. Even if one pound of copper material was used to cast copper coins

, a bad coin with less than 30% copper content can get less than 300 copper coins, and the reward of a hundred gold coins is only 20,000 to 30,000 coins. In other words, how stingy can you be to reward your generals like this?

With a little something, Shu brocade of any quality can probably kill this hundred gold reward instantly.

Therefore, the value of one gold here, if it is a regular official five-baht coin, can be worth about 10,000 yuan. Considering the current social unrest, bad money, and currency depreciation, the private exchange rate of one gold can be worth about 10,000 yuan.

It ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

It can be seen from this that the price of restored beans is about two to three million yuan converted into copper coins per stone.

Of course, because of different types of beans, the conversion efficiency of recovered beans is also different, which will also affect the cost and price. However, those are specific technical issues, and we will not explain them in detail here.

As for recovery rice and recovery wheat, they will be relatively cheaper. After all, the cost of raw materials is there, especially for Bingzhou that has been relatively small affected by wars and disasters. Even though the consumption rate of these two foods in the process of making military rations is far higher

Higher than wine making, but judging from the price of the finished product, the price of recovery rice or recovery wheat with the same recovery effect is only about one-tenth or even one-twentieth of recovery beans. This also makes these two military rations

It is the main variety in today’s military grain market.

As for the recovery peach, nicknamed the Fairy Peach, it can be encountered but cannot be sought. It is outside the scope of discussion.

Therefore, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that Wen Chou is eating beans for recovery. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is eating gold. This kind of behavior of completely using abundant financial resources to beat the opponent to death is probably not even a wealthy family can afford it.

.

So, after Cao Ren spread the valuable knowledge gained from Li Shushi to everyone in Cao Cao's army, everyone looked at Wen Chou this time, no longer looking at a monster, but at a big shining golden lump, which was absolutely rare.

treasure.

Of course, although bean bags are sharp, they are not without limitations.

First, of course, if you want to use this treasure, you don't have enough money in your pocket. It's not that Hao can't use this kind of VIP-specific equipment.

The second thing is that the user's strength cannot be too bad, at least not much worse than the person who attacks him. After all, no matter how strong the recovery ability of the recovery beans is, there is still a limit, and if it is allowed to use

If Li Shushi from Bean Bag were to fight against figures like Wang Yue and Tong Yuan, as well as fierce generals like Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, he would probably be defeated even if his mouth turned into a grinder that kept spinning for 24 hours a day.

...Perhaps there is a small chance to support the opponent until his physical strength is exhausted?

All in all, beanbags are an artifact used by trenchers to torture trumpets and challenge bosses. For a certain black-skinned dwarf, this thing can destroy most of his cautious finances.

Under such circumstances, it can only be shelved as a trophy. Who knew the appearance fee for this thing was so high?

However, now that this thing is held by a powerful general like Wen Chou, and coupled with Yuan Shao's very convenient logistical supplies, it has created a monster trench that is a headache for all Cao Cao's soldiers, including Cao Cao.

"Zixiao, you don't need to continue to explain. Now you just need to tell me what to do to get rid of that guy."

Not to mention the impatient Xia Houyuan, even though he was sick, he looked like he might die at any time. Therefore, Xi Zhicai, who was usually easy to calm down, looked at Cao Ren with eyes spitting fire. Obviously, he was attracted by that person.

Wen Chou, who is like a tank, has been suppressed by himself for so long, so that the strategy designed by Xi Zhicai, a very clever strategist, was ruined by a man. How could the arrogant Xi Zhicai endure it?

.

"The best way to deal with the beanbag, in the words of the book, is to use a 'saturation attack' so that he doesn't even have time to eat. The specific method is mainly two points: one is to find a way to use the beanbag

The person is isolated from his personal guards and heavily surrounded, so that he cannot receive assistance from the outside world. The other is to let people with sufficient strength come from nearby.

From body attack, to mid-range spear throwing, to long-distance archery, and even the trebuchet can be used together if the hit is accurate. By the way, there are also the attack strategies of civil servants. It is necessary to make sure that all these methods can be used at the same time.

Even if it is impossible to attack the enemy, we should try our best to complete these attacks in a very short time."

"Zixiao. Li Shushi is so familiar with this bean bag...could it be possible that he also has one in his hand?"

Regarding Cao Cao's question, Cao Ren thought for a while and finally nodded, adding another layer of gloom to the faces of Cao Cao's generals.

Well, a Wen Chou with a beanbag has already made everyone feel so desperate. If the person holding this treasure is replaced by a more famous warrior like Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang, will he directly create a "humanoid unparalleled sword"?

What about "lawn mower"?

This is really a question that we have to think about.

Of course, no one mentioned this little thought. After all, if you can't even defeat Wen Chou in front of you, then there is no need to think about other things.

Then, just think of this battle against Wen Chou as a preview of a battle that may happen one day in the future!

Wen Chou is the only enemy, and they only need to kill Wen Chou!

"It seems that my lord's previous plan only needs a few changes."

With some confidence in his heart, Xi Zhi finally had a smile on his face again. Although the white and red smile made Cao Cao very worried. But now he is on the battlefield, a place where only ruthless fighting is possible.

Worries can only be kept in mind for the time being.

Cao Cao nodded and began to issue orders in an orderly manner. It seemed that he had completely restored his former demeanor.

"Everyone listens to the order. Select your subordinates who are good at fighting and gather them here. In addition, those who are good at shooting and those who are good at strategy will also gather here!"

Without hesitation or questioning, everyone took action immediately, and Cao Ren also turned his sights behind him. They were all loyal and brave men he trusted, and they were now eager to receive his call.

At this moment, Wen Chou, who was driving away Cao Cao's rear troops, discovered that he seemed to have encountered a small problem.

It's really just a small problem, at least in Wen Chou's opinion.

"General, we have been unable to attack the city for many days. We are really frustrated. Anyway, Cao Cao's army has become discouraged, so there is nothing to worry about."

Wen Chou also agreed with the deputy general's statement.

In fact, Wen Chou's military discipline has always been very average. Except when he was required to follow orders and prohibitions during combat, at other times, as long as he didn't go too far, Wen Chou basically turned a blind eye. Life in the military camp was too hard.

, and the continuous war also makes people wonder whether they will die tomorrow, so the mood of muddling through can never be eliminated.

Precisely because he understood the mentality of ordinary soldiers very well, when the occupation developed to this point, the soldiers under Wen Chou gave up chasing Cao Cao's soldiers when the overall situation was decided, and instead dispersed to pick up and rob Cao Cao's soldiers.

Wen Chou did not put any restrictions on the weapons, armor, flags, baggage and other materials abandoned by the army. He just took his personal guards and those soldiers who were still willing to fight with him, a total of only three to four hundred people, to continue the pursuit.

Cao Jun.

Compared with those inconspicuous possessions in Wen Chou's eyes, Xia Houyuanrang's head was what interested him most.

Unknowingly, Wen Chou and the army behind him opened a gap that was not too wide but very obvious.

"That's right!" Seeing this scene, Cao Cao shouted excitedly, with the four characters "God help me" written all over his face.

This caused the Yuan army to fight for the baggage. It was the bait that Cao Cao had just laid out in desperation.

It turns out that Cao Cao rushed all the way from Xuchang to Chenliu. In order to rush for time, he naturally didn't bring much baggage and supplies. Things like grain and grass could be obtained from Chenliu's treasury. There were a lot of baggage and other things, so he had to wait.

Depart from Xuchang and ship slowly.

Fortunately, Cao Cao imitated Li Shushi and made great efforts to repair the official roads between Xuchang and Puyang, so the subsequent resources except for some large items came very quickly.

However, at that time, Cao Cao had already accelerated his "dividing the enemy plan". So he ordered Chen Liu's remaining officials to concentrate the necessary supplies in a certain area so that Cao Cao could make supplies after returning from Juancheng.

Night sneak attack.

Although the sneak attack plan was ruined by Wen Chou's caution, the baggage train was still assembled at the predetermined location, and at the critical moment, those large trucks carrying goods not only contributed to Cao Cao's army intercepting the enemy, but also the people on the vehicle

Those supplies also became an extremely important bait for Cao Cao to lure his enemies.

Cao Cao selected nearly a thousand soldiers, regardless of their profession. Everyone had a horse, just to be able to rush to Wen Chou as soon as possible. The civil servants, under the leadership of Xi Zhicai, gradually approached the battlefield, ready to prepare various weapons at any time.

The release of a supportive or offensive strategy.

"Everyone must have known that Wen Chou is not an invincible monster. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get Wen Chou's head. Let those arrogant Hebei people know that we men from the Central Plains are not free to bully! Get on the horse!

"

There were no cheers or excited responses. These selected soldiers, who were like death squads, silently mounted their horses. Although Cao Cao kept emphasizing that Wen Chou was not invincible, the previous scene still remained in his mind.

Even if he really knew that Wen Chou did have a flaw that could be exploited, he still felt uneasy. He didn't know whether this operation would be successful.

But since a good man has gone to the battlefield and embarked on this road, such a day will always come, just sooner or later. What's more, Cao Cao's treatment of these trusted troops is quite touching. Cao Cao himself

He is also a wise master worth serving. Even if he dies in this battle, his family and descendants will definitely be taken care of properly.

The anxious heart gradually calmed down, maybe the heart was still beating fast, but it was no longer an uneasy beating, but a restless desire to make achievements. The generals and soldiers encouraged each other with their eyes. They were originally members of the army.

The most courageous warriors, once they let go of the baggage in their hearts, are heroes that no one can underestimate.

Following Cao Cao's order, the team was obviously less than a thousand people, but it exuded an aura that could only be achieved by an army of ten thousand people.

The roaring sound is enough to alert even experienced soldiers, let alone a veteran like Wen Chou.

Moreover, Wen Chou also noticed his situation at this time because of Cao Cao's abnormal behavior.

However, he is not worried.

Maybe it was because he had enough confidence in his own strength, or maybe it was because the bean bag on his body gave him great confidence. After all, it was not only a treasure, but also his good friend Yan Liang. His face was red before he left.

The precious friendship that was quietly thrust into his hands.

Wen Chou knew very well that the bean bag was an heirloom of the Yan family, but he had lent it to him temporarily. He hoped that one day he could return to his good friend Yan Liang and return the treasure with his own hands. Whether it was for its meaning or friendship,

All of these made Wen Chou double his fighting spirit.

So what if we are disconnected from the main force, what if the soldiers around us are divided, what if we are surrounded by Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xia Houjie, Li Dian and those fierce soldiers and fight in groups, he Wen Boxing will not be here.

Failure here!

This bravery is really surprising, but as his opponent, Cao Cao's army is not inferior in fighting spirit!

A soldier was shot through the heart by Wen Chou, but Wen Chou found that he could not withdraw the spear at the first time, because the soldier was holding the gun barrel with ferocity before death, and other soldiers also took the opportunity to use their weapons, bows and arrows.

, and even various attacks and weakening strategies to attack his body that lacks complete defense... and the war horse under his crotch.

Facing this terrifying enemy, the soldiers of Cao Cao's army had already put down their dignity as warriors. In their view, victory was the only pass to the battlefield. It didn't matter whether the process was aboveboard or despicable.

They have sacrificed too much, so why should they care about a little bit of dignity? Are they supposed to arrive in the underworld after death, and when their colleagues who went ahead ask about the outcome of the battle, they can only tell their colleagues who are looking forward to it dejectedly,

The message of their failure?

Or you might say to them with a righteous face: We lost openly and squarely...

How is this possible! They want to win, they just want to win!

If the strength of one hand is not enough, use two hands. If the strength of two hands is not enough, use the head. If the head is not strong enough, use the teeth. Even if it cannot cause substantial damage to Wen Chou's body, the pain must be used to prevent Wen Chou from having time to move his mouth.

Swallowed the beans inside.

Once, twice, three times...

Seeing that the healing speed of Wen Chou's wounds is slowing down, the monster will eventually be shaken by such an attack!

However, the faces of the officers and soldiers of Cao Cao's army did not feel relaxed at all at the dawn of victory. Instead, they became more impatient, and some even launched a desperate attack.

Why?

Why is it that everyone has become more desperate despite seeing the dawn of victory, and that as long as they persevere, they will win?

Because all the officers and men of Cao Cao's army knew that they could not afford it.

Yes, compared to Wen Chou and Wen Chou's subordinates, Cao Cao's army simply couldn't afford it.

Physically they can't afford it.

Because even if the recovery is slow, every time Wen Chou swallows the recovery beans that have been "moistened" by the bean bag, he can get a little physical recovery from it, more or less, but the little adds up. Even in the face of siege, physical strength.

The consumption may be a bit greater than that of Cao Cao's soldiers who besieged him, but with the rapid consumption of physical strength of the soldiers participating in the siege, such an intense siege will eventually end, and Wen Chou's physical strength is difficult to see before that moment.

end.

They also can't afford to waste their troops.

Even though Cao Cao's army took advantage of the gap between Wen Chou and the large army to launch a fierce attack, it temporarily separated Wen Chou from his personal guards, and from his personal guards to the large army, and caused a brief confusion among Yuan's soldiers who were robbing Cao Cao's army of supplies.

But the chaos will eventually end, and at that time, the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army will be able to react and surround the elites of Cao Cao's army.

What will be the consequences if the last resort and last stand fail?

Having no way out means not being able to go back, and not being able to go back means death.

If Cao Cao could not achieve a victory that was enough to shake the morale of Yuan's army before the soldiers of Yuan's army surrounded them, then they, who were surrounded and lacked physical support, might have no choice but to commit suicide besides being captured.

Even if Cao Cao can escape under the protection of soldiers loyal to him, no one is optimistic about how long Cao Cao's already wounded army can sustain in the face of Yuan Shao's carefully prepared attack.

Therefore, time is the ally of Wen Chou and Yuan Shaojun, and it is also the most hated enemy of life and death by everyone in Cao Cao's army.

But with the support of countless cheats (bean bags, encouragement from gay friends, financial resources from the boss...), Wen Chou seemed to be invincible. Even if the soldiers hadn't tried their best to stop him, Cao Cao would have had at least three more fatal ones.

Instead of just two deep wounds on the thigh and under the ribs like now.

But Cao Cao didn't care about his injuries. Seeing that the Yuan Army soldiers had recovered from the panic, and began to gradually advance here under the command of the Yamen generals and Army Sima, Cao Cao once again felt that the current situation might be better than the original pursuit of Dong Zhuo or

It was even worse during the Battle of Qinghe because he could not find any allies who could help him share the pressure.

Is this the end of everything?

"ah……!"

Along with a shrill cry, it cut through the entire battlefield. For a moment, it seemed that everyone's movements stopped because of this shrill cry. No, even time may have been frozen in this shout.

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the shout came from.

But what they saw was a scene that shocked everyone.

In the center where everyone's attention focused, there were two people.

One of them is very familiar to everyone, while the other one is very unfamiliar.

The familiar one was kneeling on one knee, with a look of astonishment on his face. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open, but he could not make any sound at all. There was only blood flowing out like a trickling stream, mixed with the dyed blood.

There were bloody debris of unknown origin. There were sharp swords stuck in the back of his neck, and there was also a hole as big as a child's fist in the back of his neck, which also stained the surrounding clothes and land with blood.

color.

As for the unfamiliar one, he was holding the dagger that had cut deep into Wen Chou's neck with both hands. His body was stained red with blood, and his face was as pale as if he had lost his life. But no matter what his current state was,

, one thing is certain.

Wen Chou is dead.

Wen Chou died in the hands of an unknown person.

This war seems to have finally decided the winner at this moment. (To be continued...)
