"Yes, I have never fought such a frustrating battle!"
In the room, all the civil servants lowered their heads in thought, the generals and generals were all depressed, and Li Shushi, who was sitting in the center, also had a pale face.
Going north to solve the problem of the Xianbei people in the north was Li Shushi's hidden purpose behind this fight for the hegemony of the Central Plains. Although Yuan Shao's arrangement prevented him from weakening Yuan Shao again in advance, he did not expect that Yuan Shao would take the initiative to attack the people in the south.
Cao Cao, then Li Shushi can sit back and relax for once, pack his bags and head north in peace.
Regardless of whether this plane can happen in another plane, the Battle of Guandu that also happened in the fifth year of Jian'an in history, but at least when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, a pair of good friends, are entangled together, no matter which side is in a short period of time,
Neither of them has the ability to cause trouble for Li Shushi anymore, or in other words, both of them have already made trouble for Li Shushi in advance.
Cao Cao naturally annexed the two counties of Li Shushi along with Liu Xie. Of course, this also made Li Shushi a member of the royalist party, and it is said that Liu Xie was criticized by some veterans for his way of defying everyone's opinions in the court in Xuchang.
I think it's very personable.
Although the necessary condition for being a qualified politician is that you can turn your back at the next moment even if you take advantage of it, the same condition for being a good politician is that you must be able to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision on whether to turn your back.
These pros and cons are not gains and losses in the short term, but a comprehensive consideration including long-term expectations.
As for Yuan Shao, he even led the Xianbei people to the door of Li Shushi's house, then left the vicious dog behind and ran away.
This kind of behavior is really annoying, but if you think about it from another angle, even if you kill the vicious dog in this situation, there won't be any dog lovers, news media, or owners to bother you.
What? You said there seemed to be something strange mixed in just now?
Forget it, there are enough weird things these days. I don’t care about adding one or two more...
Well, Li Shushi feels that there are enough weird things happening around him now, so he must not continue to increase them.
"Deduction, have you ever thought that a situation like today would happen?"
"Well, I have to say that the enemy has very powerful shaman users. They can actually do it to this extent."
Although the old man had an expression of "I'm so sorry, I was accidentally surpassed by a younger generation", it was strange that Li Shu believed him. After all, this former Xianbei man in the west had to rebel and surrender to the enemy after being ostracized by Helian.
Here in Bingzhou Army, I became a researcher wholeheartedly, and occasionally maybe
I will serve as a guest consultant for a while and answer Li Shushi's questions related to human geography. In addition, whether I ask him to explain how to divide and disintegrate the various Xianbei tribes, or directly lead the shamans of the Bingzhou Army to participate in the war.
I used various reasons to shirk it, and over time it became what it is now.
But there is one thing that even Li Shushi has to admit, that is, what the old man said is indeed right, that is, after combining a certain shamanic magic with the special unit of Xianbei infantry, 1+1=10
The effect comes.
Don’t believe it?
Just look at the general lying on the ground in front of you and you will know what the effect is.
It can be said that if it weren't for Li Shushi's unique skill, corpse qi would have been sent out in an unprecedented way today, blasting the Xianbei infantry like submachine guns... This time it wasn't a debuff. After all, this group of enemies has a special composition, and corpse qi is used to it.
The effect cannot be exerted on them at all. But after such a long period of trying, Li Shushi's corpse energy has also undergone some changes. And it is these changes that allowed the Bingzhou Army to finally have a slight disadvantage in today's battle, not every minute.
The rhythm of collapse.
In fact, the tactics used by the enemy were not complicated. They were just a new war model based on bloodthirsty. But even this simple trick still caused great losses to the people of Bingzhou who were not well prepared.
.
Bloodthirsty, this is the magical spell that Li Shushi first mastered. It is an auxiliary spell that can stimulate the human body's potential and allow a person to burst out with extremely strong fighting power in a short period of time. It is also an extremely powerful auxiliary spell.
Because with the blessing of this spell, ordinary people can burst into madness that is no less than that of veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Whether it is attack power, agility, or movement speed, it will be greatly enhanced. If the user is
An excellent shaman. The best effect can reach twice the effect of Li Shushi's domineering effect. In practice, there may be a negative effect of increased attack effect, but that is often not because of any negative effects on the body, just because of being attacked.
People who release bloodthirsty spells will tend to become more aggressive, and their natural defense methods are not as strict as usual. If it is a one-on-one fight, they will easily be taken advantage of by a master, and they will be defeated faster.
Of course, if there is only such a shortcoming, it is obviously a flaw, and it cannot shake the status of this spell as a legion-level combat magic.
Unfortunately, this spell also has a fatal flaw, that is, after the spell ends, the subject will enter a state of physical exhaustion due to excessive stimulation of the body's potential. Not only will various body functions be greatly reduced, but the physical strength will also enter an extremely dangerous state.
state.
In particular, the improved new bloodthirsty technique of the Bingzhou Army has greatly enhanced the effect while also multiplying the side effects several times.
It can be said that if it is not a desperate moment, it is estimated that most people will not choose such a spell that may cause huge hidden dangers on the battlefield. Although a wave of flow is very satisfying, if it is blocked by others, there is definitely a high possibility of being counterattacked.
kill.
Of course, when the body's functions are greatly weakened, you can also try to use the bloodthirsty technique for secondary stimulation, but in that case, the price paid is not just collapse, but a serious life!
But what I never expected was that when this thing fell into the hands of those inhuman Xianbei infantry, it would have a heaven-defying effect.
As mentioned before, after many battles, the characteristics of the Xianbei infantry have been basically mastered by the Bingzhou Army, including unlimited physical strength (pseudo) and super protection against long-range attacks, second only to the weapon in Li Shushi's hand.
Special armored mirror mk2 for long-range attack. Ahem, the stuff behind is just for show, please don’t pay attention. In addition, the close attack and defense are not similar.
The long-range defense is so abnormal, but it is also better than the average strong soldier with full armor. The speed is slightly higher than that of human infantry, and it can basically ignore terrain threats. Although these two points can be regarded as the characteristics of Xianbei infantry. But it is more because of
The secondary effects brought about by unlimited physical strength. And finally, it is the amazing magical properties that are recycled and reused countless times.
Although this kind of existence is enough to make people's balls hurt, there are still ways to deal with the devil's height and the road's height. But I didn't expect that this bloodthirsty seemed to be tailor-made for the Xianbei infantry - the physical strength of the Xianbei infantry
It is almost infinite, so the "empty period" caused by exhaustion of physical strength after the spell effect ends can be reduced to a minimum, both in terms of attribute reduction and the time of reduction. Even if you worry about the decrease in attributes
And if someone takes advantage of it, you can repeat it a second time or more without any scruples. After all, there is no such thing as vitality in the Xianbei infantry. In other words, even if it is because of the huge pressure of continuous bloodthirsty spells,
It can also cause the Xianbei infantry to collapse, but compared to ordinary humans, this time is greatly extended, not to mention that even if it does collapse, it can be recycled again, and after the reading is completed, it will be a hero again.
What made everyone in the Bingzhou Army speechless the most was that the enemy not only used the bloodthirsty spell on the battlefield, but also used an enhanced version of the one studied by the Bingzhou Army. That kind of unscrupulous use really made this group of developers as developers
We felt a deep sadness spreading in our hearts.
In other words, is this a different way of capitalizing on the enemy?
"However, there is good news."
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yun finally spoke out his thoughts. However, there was still an uncertain look on his face, and he still seemed a little hesitant. It seemed that he was worried that his thoughts would lead to Li Shushi's wrong judgment.
"Speak out. You are all generals fighting on the front line. You must have a more personal experience than those in the rear."
"It's my lord. Although I'm not sure yet, I feel that those 'Xianbei infantry'... seem to have become weaker."
"Huh? Weakened? Why don't I feel this way at all? Even this battle may be the most useless battle we fought against the Xianbei people, but as a result, Zilong, you feel that the enemy has become weaker?
It’s really hard for me to understand.”
"This sounds really incredible. But I do feel this way. Of course, maybe this is just an illusion on my part. After all, crazy enemies are indeed more difficult to deal with than before."
In fact, not only Li Shushi, but also several counselors had similar ideas to Li Shushi. It was indeed difficult for everyone to accept Zhao Yun's statement for those Xianbei infantrymen who beat the Bingzhou Army with a bunch of fists until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
But at this critical moment, one person stood up.
"Actually, I was still doubting whether my feeling was just an illusion, but since Zilong also has similar feelings, it should be correct."
Following Zhang Jia's support, generals like Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu who had experience fighting Xianbei infantry also spoke out in agreement.
If a person has such a feeling, it can be said that it may be an illusion, but if these people who are at the top of this era in the pursuit of martial arts all have the same feeling, Li Shushi would rather believe that it is true.
"Okay, I trust your judgment, but I also want to know the specific circumstances that would lead you to make this judgment."
"It should be the feel, um, the feel of cutting people."
Xiaoqiang, who had been silent before, seemed to have woken up from his previous meditation. His face no longer had the previous solemnity, but was replaced by a slightly relaxed look, as if the previous failure had not affected him in some way.
He is said to have the heart of a warrior who is arrogant and prouder than anyone else.
That's fine, I thought I needed to comfort his fragile soul.
"I always feel that it turns out that you were thinking about something very rude just now." It should be said that you are indeed a beast. Your intuition is really good.
"Ahem, let's get down to business. What did you mean by what you just said?"
"Well, I can't tell you exactly what it is, but what is certain is that there was an obvious lag when the halberd passed through the bodies of those Xianbei infantry. The skin of those guys is really thick. But today's
There is something very subtly different about the battle, the feeling of the halberd passing through their bodies seems...
Subtle ones are a little easier. In fact, I'm not sure, because I don't know whether it's because they themselves have become weaker, or because of the bloodthirsty spell. You should know more about this than me, and
Your performance today is quite eye-catching, you are so impressive all at once. You are much more majestic than us."
It has to be said that although Xiaoqiang's last ridicule made Li Shushi somewhat embarrassed, after all, his various methods were just things that he had thought of after tinkering with for a long time. It was inevitable that there would be various problems when he used them for the first time.
It would be better to say that he acted majesticly, but rather that he was full of jokes and added a lot of unnecessary trouble to our staff.
Of course, because of Xiaoqiang's words, the atmosphere among the generals changed significantly. Everyone began to discuss the various experiences and lessons learned from this defeat in a more heated atmosphere.
Failure is not terrible. Almost everyone here has encountered various problems on the battlefield or in the process of climbing to the peak of martial arts. But since they have reached this point, they are certainly not people who lack mental perseverance. Even if
They were a little disappointed for a while, but it didn't take long to cheer up again. Even the appearance of powerful enemies inspired their arrogance and fighting spirit. This may make them feel more motivated to move forward than those smooth victories.
.
"Actually, the reason why we seemed so passive under the attack of those Xianbei infantry is because the enemy can be recycled and reused almost infinitely. Well, the Lord's statement is very vivid."
As the generals became more active, the civil servants also seemed a little more lively.
"Mr. Zhongde is right." Although Lu Su participated in the large-scale military operation of the Bingzhou Army for the first time as a member of the army, judging from his performance during this period, he did not feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, he was able to handle matters arranged by Li Shushi, Cheng Yu and others in an orderly manner. He was even able to provide good insights in some aspects. Moreover, this was before his excellent command and combat capabilities were fully developed, so this also allowed him to
He was quickly accepted and expected by the group.
Of course, Lu Su didn't seem to be just echoing Cheng Yu's words, he didn't finish his words.
"According to the information I collected from the soldiers, the way we used to find the enemy's sacrifice sites and destroy them to prevent the enemy from recycling those Xianbei infantry was actually not very effective. Even if it can affect
A battle is won, but the enemy can still exploit it in the next battle.
Those puppet soldiers. And now that their level of protection for the place of sacrifice has been improved to a very high level, it will be difficult for our small force to achieve the same results as before. Even if the losses are too great, it will not only fail to meet expectations.
Instead, they will give the other party new 'materials', which is not worth the gain."
"This is really a troublesome conclusion of the investigation."
"But..." Lu Su's appearance at this time was exactly the same as that of Zilong Jiang just now. It was probably some subtle good news.
"So Zijing just tell us. Even if it is wrong information, it might be able to provide us with a good idea."
"It's my lord." Lu Su seemed a little excited after receiving the affirmation, "Based on the investigation of the soldiers, Su discovered an interesting phenomenon. Although the familiar faces of the enemy always appeared in front of the soldiers again and again,
But occasionally there will be records of soldiers who impressed the soldiers but did not appear again. Although this cannot rule out the reason that the number of soldiers is too large to be willing to investigate clearly, and even this reason is the most likely, I still
I feel like things may not be that simple.”
What a subtle answer.
But it's good to have two pieces of good news in a row after a defeat, even if the good news seems extremely subtle.
At least, this method can be used to calm the morale of the soldiers that has been lowered by the defeat to a certain extent.
"...If it is true as Zijing said before, then there may be someone whom the Lord can meet."
And just when Li Shushi and most people were digesting these two pieces of news that were extremely subtle and even bad for him, Guo Jia's slightly lazy voice rang out, and then...
"Fengxiao, I remember that in the military, drinking in private is not allowed unless there are special circumstances..."
"My lord, you must have seen it wrong. This is a teapot! A teapot!"
"First of all, take it and taste it. If it's not tea, it's all yours."
"Although it's really a bit less, it's good to drink some."
Everyone was already very familiar with Guo Langzi's temper, so such a lie could not be hidden from everyone. So under the eyes of Guo Jia's little friend, Xiaoqiang raised his neck unceremoniously, and yelled a moment later
:"Cool!"
"Okay, let's talk about work now."
"...Yes." Although there was a grief-stricken expression on his face, Guo Langzi was still quite reliable when doing business. "This is what General Guan Cheng brought back from Liaodong. It is said that it was from the previous Battle of Xiangping."
One of the few survivors, and also a disciple of the great scholar Guan Ning, said he had the guts to tell the lord some information."
"For what?"
"According to what he said, this is how to completely eliminate those Xianbei infantry."
"Why did you just think of reporting it now?"
"Probably, it's because that method is really... too incredible."
Guo Jia's face had a slightly more subtle expression, coupled with the depression that he had just lost his "beloved" thing, it turned into a perfect dead face.
It feels like my whole painting style has completely changed! (To be continued...)
