At this moment, Pang De was almost as powerful as a dragon in Cao Zhang's eyes. Putting aside everything else, his violent posture, vigorous posture, and majestic spirit made Cao Zhang wish he could be with him.
"Stop talking nonsense and stop that group of people. Pang Lingming won't be able to stop them for long. If you look carefully at the battle losses on both sides, even now the soldiers under Pang Lingming's command are not much lower than those on the opposite side." Yan Xing said with a hint of coldness in his voice transmission. .
If Yan Xing thought Pound's behavior was a bit strange before, then after seeing the battle losses on both sides at this moment, Yan Xing finally understood why Pound behaved in such an extreme way. It was completely the result of no choice. Your elite can really kill them.
"Huh?" Cao Zhang was stunned, then looked carefully, and couldn't help being surprised, "No, are you so good? When I fought with them, the battle loss ratio was relatively superior, and the number of opponents was still mine. Several times, I have never been so miserable."
"Do you know why Chen Hou likes shield guards?" Yan Xing threw away his spear and used his sword to slash wildly. "Shield guards have an advantage in survivability compared to most types of troops. There are many legions that can suppress shield guards. , but I have to kill the shield guard by force, and it’s a shield guard of your size, huh!"
It's a fact that they can't be killed. Shield guards under 140 kilograms are still considered normal elite soldiers, which is the basic military type positioned by Chen Xi. After all, if people in this era can grow to 140 kilograms, in fact Not very easy either.
A two-hundred-pound shield guard like the one led by Cao Zhang can already be classified as an outlier. Without special abilities, it is basically impossible for most legions to kill such a legion. Two hundred The jin of shield guards are basically considered to be the top legion among the physical defense arms.
By the way, Huangfusong had actually made an empirical mistake, and Han Xin could see the problem. However, Han Xin himself could not solve the problem of adaptive shield guards. The shortcomings of the shield guards that Huangfusong thought early on were no longer shortcomings.
Taking the road of adaptability, the shield guard is equivalent to the whole body. The will blessing that Huangfu Song thought about back then is basically hopeless. Of course, there is an extraneous situation here, and that is Zang Ba's shield guard. This It’s really the gift of will blessing.
This is also the reason why Zang Ba’s shield guards can run rampant among the top legions. However, Zang Ba’s shield guards are the strongest group of people selected from the Jingling Guards, and they themselves have inherited part of the military soul. Attributes, will effects, this is the step that has been taken.
At that time, Huangfu Song thought that the simple reason was that he was dying all day long. He calculated it based on the proportion of survivors who received the blessing of will. But to say it too much, he was so deceitful as to send a gun and become a cavalry by himself. In this situation, a unit called a shield guard, which actually doesn’t even have a shield, would really die if it didn’t have the talent of will.
It would be completely different now. The shield guard has been striving for physical fitness since he got the equipment. Along the way, his body has been strengthened to a certain limit. There is no prerequisite for the formation of will talent, so it is a dead end.
Han Xin didn't realize this at first. The shield guard was very enjoyable to use. Although Han Xin complained every day that if he had so many equipment, he would never design this kind of unit. He would just need more soldiers and penetration strikes. In this era, It's just chaos.
However, Han Xin actually likes to use shield guards. In Jia Xu's words, although Chen Zichuan may make things very outrageous, the final product is really good, even if outsiders often complain sourly, But when it falls into his hands, he will also applaud.
Can you please not shout? Han Xin is just talking tough, he can use plate armor, why not? The Shield Guard is a unit with rough skin and thick flesh. It can be used in all-terrain combat by simply placing a military formation. Its survivability is extremely strong, giving him more time to think when facing any situation. It feels so good to use!
It is true that with Han Xin's imagination, he can create all kinds of wonderful legions, but compared to the seemingly silly troops like the Shield Guard, those wonderful legions are just like that.
There are many more types of troops than the Shield Guard, but there are very few troops that can truly serve as the foundation of a country like the Shield Guard. Apart from the resting Burning Legion, I am afraid that the only one is the Shield Guard. These two legions are basically Both have the ability to deal with most types of legions in most terrains. More importantly, only these two legions can be popularized on a large scale.
Cao Zhang blocked the cavalry on the opposite side and slashed wildly with his sword. Then he looked at the weapons and equipment of Yan Xing and others and his own weapons and equipment, and couldn't help but fall silent.
It's not that the equipment on Cao Cao's side is not good, they also use armor here, but the armor of these people is not as good as those of Cao Zhang's crossbow-wielding shield guards in terms of defensive power and coverage.
You must know that the full-body armor equipped by the crossbow-wielding shield guard is already the weakest among the shield guards, but even so, the crossbow-wielding shield guard's full-body composite armor weighs forty kilograms.
For normal elites of the Han Dynasty, in order to ensure combat effectiveness and mobility, the dead weight of the armor would reach forty kilograms.
After all, after the cloud Qi is covered, there is no support from the inner Qi. If the elite talent does not greatly strengthen the physical fitness, the physical fitness of ordinary soldiers will be about twice as good as in history at most. And if the armor weighs forty pounds, once it falls into a long Fighting against time can be fatal.
To put it simply, the best armor equipped by a normal legion is about the same as the most inferior shield guard, which does not engage in melee combat. Therefore, if a shield guard uses a shield to defend, If the opponent attacks the shield directly and has no restraint, it will basically not be penetrated unless it has an extra level of innate ability.
After all, with the recovery of the essence of heaven and earth, the intensity of cloud energy is getting higher and higher, and the suppression of the strong is getting stronger and stronger. In the early years, Guan Yu was even able to independently use the method of separating part of the inner energy from the body under the cloud energy. Yan Liang Wen Chou also did the same, and Lu Bu, with the blessing of a thousand years of will, was even able to attack several legions.
However, until now, with the will of the Han Empire directly supporting Lu Bu, Lu Bu could barely use a boundary-breaking blow to chop out plasma and kill nearly a thousand people.
In fact, with the return of the essence of heaven and earth, the suppression intensity of cloud qi is constantly rising. If in the early years, the qi separated from the body under the cloud qi could still exert a combat power that exceeded that of Qi Lian Chenggang, then now most of the inner qi The combat effectiveness of the separated body under the cloud is not even as good as that of a few soldiers who went all out after becoming miraculous.
According to Han Xin's speculation, if the path of Yunqi continues to develop, it should be able to reach the level of equality for all living beings. In other words, sooner or later, under the Yunqi, even the boundary-breaking level will not be able to use the inner energy. Now, the boundary-breaking level There is something special about being under the clouds.
Therefore, Han Xin speculated that as time goes by, elite talents will strengthen the legion itself to a higher level, and equipment will have a greater impact on the legion. The same refinement may become the mainstream on the battlefield in the future.
After all, compared to Qi cultivation and spiritual cultivation, intensive cultivation has obvious advantages in terms of physical strength and endurance. Soldiers with intensive cultivation can use heavier weapons, carry thicker armor, and have stronger survivability. However, after saying this Not long after he came out, Huangfu Song came up with a regulation from the Slavs. Not long after he came back, Han Xin swallowed up most of what he had said before.
Naturally, Cao Zhang didn't know so many things behind it, but he was not blind and quickly understood the reason for the equipment gap between the two sides. He couldn't help but glance at the fighting styles of Pang De and Yan Xing. They were very tough fighting methods, but they suffered a lot of losses. big.
"Bang!" Pound smiled ferociously and pierced the Kushan warriors who were blocking him. He had been hit by a lot of arrows. Even if there were personal guards to help block him, there was no safe place on the battlefield, even for Pound. It is impossible for such a strong general to guarantee that he will not be injured.
"Die!" Pound roared and threw his steel spear, directly piercing two Kuishan soldiers. Then he picked up the horse-killing sword hanging on the horse's belly and continued to roar and kill the Guishan soldiers beside him. Frost infantry, the two sides were completely strangled together at this moment, until their eyes were blood red.
"Fuck me!" Balak roared and slashed at Cheng Yin. The unexpected number of generals in the Han army made Balak quite irritated.
Liang Xing gritted his teeth and held Barak with a knife, and then the candidate rushed over with a gun. General Ba Jian led a group of Liangzhou tough men, taking advantage of Pound's previous fight to open a bloody path, and rushed over to bite the commander Barak, forcing him to The opponent simply cannot free his hands to direct.
This gave Yan Xing and Cao Zhang the opportunity to annihilate the Kushan cavalry, and allowed Pang De to barely stop the Kushan guards infantry.
Without this group of brothers who risked their lives to stop Balak, even if Pound exploded with strength beyond the limit, he still had not mastered Mao Jie's plus one method. He could fight with one guard and face two guards at the same time. The army, and also commanded by top figures, harassed by arrows, is afraid that it will be cold if it doesn't last. To be honest, even now Pang De is already a bit strong on the outside but on the inside.
"Pang Lingming, retreat!" Yan Xing roared from a distance. He fought hard to lose money and had killed most of the cavalry that Guishang could use to intercept and chase after him. Maybe they can organize cavalry to chase them, and they can retreat safely. After all, Cao Zhang, a dead kid, can run like a horse.
"You retreat, I will take the rear!" Pound roared angrily, but when he was roaring, he stopped breathing. The elite archer from the Sahel side nailed his lungs with a sword. Even the triple armor may not be able to Withstand the attack of an elite archer with armor-piercing arrows that is almost close to the face!
"Cheng Yin, retreat!" Pang De coughed twice and loudly called Cheng Yin and others, but the eight people did not hesitate at all and retreated directly with injuries.
