Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Eighth Heavenly Master
The Qiang people's siege seemed chaotic and chaotic. To put it simply, it was just rushing, whining...
In the beginning, there were even cases where people ran faster than the ladder!
However, in terms of siege, the Qiang people have one of the biggest advantages - they are not afraid of death.
Although there are ethnic differences among the Qiang people, the same thing is that all kinds of "Qiang Ji" are essentially different from Cheng Ji.
The best thing about Cheng Ji is not that they live in a "city", but that they can extract civilian manpower to synthesize Ji-made soldiers!
In other words, the separation of the military and the civilians has been achieved, unlike various alien races, especially the nomadic, fishing and hunting alien races, which often directly "transfer" ordinary people into warriors...
"All the people are soldiers" sounds scary and difficult to fight, but it has the disadvantage of being unable to succeed, being wiped out by major disasters, and making it difficult for the population to grow. After all, the appetite will be greatly increased after "transfer".
There is a lack of producers, and consumption is also increasing... The pressure to survive can be imagined.
The long course of history has proven time and again that conscription and separation of the army from producers are a symbol of higher productivity.
You cannot always dominate by plundering. Whether you are plundering others or plundering nature, creation and production are the way to go.
If you simply consider the frontal battlefield, "all the people are soldiers" is indeed very annoying.
Ordinary Ji-made soldiers require twenty manpower to synthesize, and if manpower is extracted normally, only one unit of manpower can be extracted per population per year.
But almost everyone of these alien races can change jobs...
When facing the Qiang people, it is better to stay at the pass. After all, the Qiang people's warriors mainly have to cooperate with "war horses" to fight, and the city wall is not a place where war horses can come up.
But the trouble is, under Ma Chao's command, these Qiang people are simply three points more brave than when they were under the command of their own family leader.
The Qiang people's fearless attack on the city really brought some trouble to Zhang Wei, especially... some Qiang people who were comparable to gold-plated generals directly and spontaneously fought in front.
What's even more terrible is Ma Chao himself...
After entering the "divine power mode", neither the power of the people on the city wall nor the interference force field gathered by Ji Zao's soldiers can affect the flight of the transcendent general.
Ma Chao jumped directly onto the tall city wall. His size of more than three meters was not only eye-catching, but also a great deterrent to the surrounding Tianshi troops.
I saw Ma Chao's figure flashing at the critical moment, or connecting two spears together to turn into a double-headed spear for close combat, or throwing the spear, or even... he could even order the spear to be thrown at the wave of the hand.
Throwing a spear is like a white light recalling it to your own hand!
Especially when throwing the spear, once you kill Ji Zao soldiers or generals, you can draw strength from the opponent, so that its power will not decrease but increase...
Of course, this ability also has its limits, otherwise in the army, the generals would have to penetrate the formation.
At present, it seems that when Ma Chao throws a short spear, the short spear will turn into a ray of white light and shoot out at an extremely fast speed. Its additional effects are only effective in this state.
However, as long as it leaves the range of about a hundred steps, the white light will disappear. By then, although the remaining power of the short spear may not be exhausted, it will no longer have the effect of absorbing life force and enhancing its own power.
Moreover, unlike Lu Bu and Sun Ce's methods, Ma Chao's figure is light and agile, and he is strange and changeable. He can shuttle among the enemy troops in the blink of an eye. Even if he is two feet tall, he is still unable to catch him.
Zhang Wei picked up the magic formula of Tianshi Dao and wanted to command the "ghost soldiers" to surround and kill Ma Chao. Even if he delayed the time limit of the divine power mode, he couldn't do it!
This also makes Ma Chao like the god of death, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers among the thousands of troops!
He is good at fighting against many enemies and being trapped in the enemy's formation, which is somewhat similar to Zhao Yun, but... Zhao Yun relies on the snake power of "Seven Exploration Coiling Snake Power" to use softness to overcome hard force. Even if he is under siege, ordinary attacks can't
It is difficult to break through his defenses, and he is almost immune to long-range weapons that can easily be deflected.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, relies on his dexterity to maneuver among the armies and is difficult to be targeted, coupled with his powerful "flying gun" technique to dominate.
When he first subdued the Qiang people, Ma Chao used this method to defeat many with a small number.
Because of Ma Chao's restraint, the city's defense line was disrupted. It was also because of his strange movement skills that he could move in and out among thousands of troops without being restricted. This allowed him to harass most of the defense line at a critical moment by himself.
.
Otherwise, if it were Lu Bu, his lethality would be stronger, but the scope of his influence would hardly be as large!
Under Ma Chao's harassment, the powerful Qiang warriors behind them rushed up the city wall one after another. Then they further suppressed the arrow rain on the wall, allowing the Qiang warriors behind to charge forward with even smaller losses.
…
At the same time, in Jinling Jiangshan Pavilion, Bai Tuxuan came to Yu Ji and was talking about some things about Tianshi Dao.
As for the strength of Tianshi Mansion, whether it is disclosed or investigated, it is already in the hands of high-level generals in the front-line army. However, for many things... such as "Ghost Soldiers", the generals only have a rough idea of their capabilities, but do not know
It's inside.
"Actually, I have always suspected that Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Tianshi, was the holder of the heavenly book "Volume 8: Worshiping Gods" before his master. If we calculate the time, the year when Zhang Tianshi passed away was also the year when I and I
Zhang Lu, when he was apprenticed to the master, and before we started... the senior brother didn't seem to have seen the master studying any Taoist scriptures." Yu Ji guessed.
In Yu Ji's opinion, Zhang Lu's moral conduct was not worth mentioning, but Yu Ji still respected his grandfather "Zhang Tianshi" very much.
After all, that person has the word "Tao" directly added to his name.
More than sixty years ago, the legend that Zhang Ling led his disciples into Shu and wiped out the evil worshipers of Bashu has always been the glory of the Taoist sect.
"It makes sense that the 'ghost soldiers' of Tianshi Tao and the 'yellow scarf warriors' of the Yellow Turban Army will be similar... No wonder Zhang Lu wants to find Huang Tianji!" Bai Tu's
His tone was serious, but he didn't look too worried.
At that time, the old immortal Nanhua divided his understanding of "Volume 8: Worshiping the Gods" into three volumes and taught them to Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao respectively. The Zhang Lu lineage, starting from Zhang Daoling, handed down the "Taipingdongji Jing"
, it is also very likely that it comes from "Volume 8: Worshiping Gods".
The so-called "Ghost Soldiers" are similar to the "Yellow Turban Warriors" in that they must use the manpower extracted from "devout" believers as a source of troops before they can be trained.
The difference is that Tianshi Ji was transformed from an evil girl who was inspired by Tianshi Zhang Daoling in Bashu. Her abilities are equivalent to the low-end version of Huang Tianji. The "ghost pawn" is just a "pawn". She is powerful and can be sacrificed in the teaching.
He reacts quickly when controlling wine, and has almost no threshold for commanding. However, unlike the Yellow Turban Warriors, he can also command and even "synthesize" the Yellow Turban Army!
"Yes, once Zhang Lu gets Huang Tianji, as long as he slightly changes the teachings and guides them, he can mass-produce the Yellow Turbans. No, it's the Celestial Master. Then there will be some trouble..."
