Speaking of which, it was a shame that the Han Dynasty fortress was not high, otherwise, just jumping off the city wall would be enough for a large group of scimitar assaulters to lose their combat effectiveness.
After Salman withdrew, he once again switched to other legions and continued to attack in waves. He personally tested the Han army on the fortress and found that it was not too strong. He could do it by force on the ground, but now this Given the circumstances, I think I can only choose Oswin's strategy of weakening the enemy.
"Brother Li, by the way, how did you manage to make so many moves in a gap of parry just now?" After Salman's elite scimitar assaulters retreated, the group of soldiers who rotated to the back were all Asked around Li Jiong.
"Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect." Li Jiong said with a smile.
The move just now looks simple, but that set of combos is enough to kill an elite soldier on the spot. This is not a move that can be learned easily. It requires sufficient knowledge of the opponent's attack angle, strength, etc. The ability to judge is a skill that requires experience.
Li Jiong was able to do it simply because he had experienced hundreds of battles and was proficient in his moves and concise in changing them. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to capture an opponent alive.
"Brother Li, teach us." The little brother holding the thigh appeared quickly, satisfying the mentality of the middle-aged and elderly people, and then a group of soldiers who had been rotated around while eating, asked Li Jiong for advice.
"Hey, I taught you before, but you didn't learn. Now that I've been beaten by God, you've become a lot smarter." Li Jiong said while chewing on the steamed buns. At this time, Houying was still making fried flour.
The Han Dynasty had professional gang leader soldiers, who usually provided hot food as much as possible during battles. However, once the battle was likely to reach a fever pitch, they would make a large amount of fried flour with unknown nuts, salt and sugar.
Because so far, there are only strange military rations like fried flour, which can have a shelf life of several months in most environments. More importantly, fried flour can really make you full if you find some water and eat it. If you don't eat it for a long time, it tastes pretty good except for being a little dry.
Therefore, when the situation on the front line of the Han Dynasty changes significantly, the Huotou soldiers will make fried flour on a large scale. This time the situation is obvious. The Huotou soldiers have been frying flour for a day, and even the veterans know it. , what follows may be a high-intensity battle that leaves no time for meals.
A fierce battle of this intensity is very fatal for a veteran like Li Jiong. In fact, at his age, physical strength and endurance have become a big problem. Suppressing a single Imperial Guard in a short burst is not a problem. After all, During the Yellow Turban years, those who could serve as the Central Guards in Chang'an were all first-rate elites, elites who had truly mastered their own power to its peak.
Originally, Li Jiong estimated that how he polished and mastered his talents and how he integrated his talents into the process of transforming them into instincts would sooner or later be taken to the coffin because he would no longer need them.
The group of young people around him who affectionately called him Brother Li were already on the same level as him. The enhancement brought by the elite talent strength denial was too obvious.
Therefore, when Li Jiong told these young people how difficult it was for him to master his talent and turn it into his own instinct, these young people didn't feel anything at all.
Even three months ago, there were rumors on Cao Cao's side that he was going to dismiss some of the elderly soldiers who had been in the army five years ago and let them go home to take care of themselves.
Li Jiong didn't think there was a problem with this. After all, God hadn't turned against him at the time. The young people had successfully mastered their talents and their qualities were piled up. There were certain flaws in skills and instincts, but they relied on a stronger body. And his basic quality can still surpass Li Jiong.
At that time, Cao Cao was in a state of complacency. Beigui's regular army filled Cao Cao's final shortcoming, and the legion's combat effectiveness reached a new level.
The soldiers of the imperial guards during the 3000 and 4000 Zhongping years were very important to Cao Cao, but they were just average to Cao Cao at that time.
New backbones have been replaced, and the basic quality of several thousand soldiers has declined significantly. Even if their overall strength is based on the skills they once thoroughly mastered, the middle-aged and elderly Guardsmen who can no longer maintain their peak strength will be sent back to take care of themselves. Benevolent government.
So at that time, Cao Cao's veterans who had been recruited from Yongliang were actually ready to retire. They even privately discussed whether they could allocate a hundred acres of fertile land to their families in Kandahar if they returned home at their current level.
After all, they also see the construction of the water conservancy network in their eyes. Most Chinese people are naturally good at farming, so they are very optimistic about Kandahar after the water network is built. Taking a hundred acres of land to take root here is really good. I don’t want to go back. Going back or something is not that important.
The result had not yet been announced by Cao Cao. After all, the time for soldiers to retire was basically in autumn every year. At that time, it happened to be a memorial ceremony for the soldiers who fought for the country, and something changed.
All the corps that relied on the overflow of talent to make up for their quality were brought back to their original form, and those middle-aged and elderly dance troupes who were ready to retire basically had nothing to do.
Those who were able to serve as soldiers in Chang'an during the Zhongping period were all ruthless people. They were either the predecessors of the Sanhe Five Schools, the elites who were disbanded after Huangfu Song defeated the Yellow Turbans, or the backbone of the Xiyuan Eight Schools. Even worse, they were Xiliang Iron Cavalry. They are all top elites who have truly mastered their own power.
Therefore, the impact of the changes in the sky on them is that their talent strength has declined. The problem is that even if the talents of this group of people are stripped away, the skills and instincts they have thoroughly mastered will not disappear.
Could it be that some people really think that they have deeply mastered the talent of unloading and turned it into a physical instinct, then changed a legion, gave up the talent of unloading, and then practiced a talent of heavy armor, and then their ability to unload will be gone? No more!
No, for soldiers who have developed their talents into instincts, even if the talents themselves disappear, their skills and instincts can still be used.
At most, it's just a matter of deepening the mastery of one's own skills and instincts. Due to the different control levels, the level that can be exerted can reach the limit of talent.
The upper limit is like Huang Tao. That guy can honestly say that he has developed the talent of speed into his own instinct, and exerted the ultimate effect of the talent of speed. In theory, the ultimate level of the talent of the speed-speed series is Huang Tao's individual performance level.
There is no need to say anything about the lower limit, it cannot be shown directly.
This is why Huangfu Song, even Caesar, Han Xin and others believe that the fifth-level imperial guard is the clear and correct path, but the fifth-level imperial guard is a broken path and the lives of normal people are not enough.
Think about it, guys like Huang Tao and Lao Lu, according to the theory of the fifth-level imperial guards, that is, the first-level imperial guards who have fully mastered the speed talent and archery extension to the limit, even though five thousand Huang Tao appeared on the battlefield. It's a question whether the Tenth Knight can withstand it.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as the transformation of skills and instincts reaches 50% of the talent level, you can turn around and master the second talent, turn it into your own instinct, and then repeat the cycle, gradually increasing your own talent level. The amount and level of skills and instincts mastered.
Then there are two correct branches in the development direction of the Guards, one is broad and broad, the other is specialized and refined, the former is wolf cavalry, and the latter is iron cavalry.
Li Jiong took the route of the Wolf Cavalry, but because it was not the route customized by General Wei, but the route of the ordinary Han Dynasty standard imperial guards, the combination of skills and instincts was a bit messy, but after four hundred years of continuous improvement, even if The messy combination of instinctive skills also appears to be well-proportioned.
At least when facing most enemies, even if they cannot achieve perfect suppression and response, they will basically not be restrained. It can be said that this is the meaning of inheritance.
In the past, these inheritances had basically lost their meaning, and even Huangfu Song didn't bother to mention them. As a result, a sudden change occurred, and the times went back. It was no longer the situation of stacking up qualities and breaking them all at once. The meaning of skills and instincts returned again. .
Without the overflow of talent strength to supplement individual basic qualities, who can stack up the basic qualities to the level of the Imperial Guard so quickly? Are you kidding me? The instinctualization of quality-type talents is the most difficult series in itself. Just look at the Wolf Cavalry. !
Now that the Wolf Cavalry has climbed back to dual talents, it can compete head-on with the first auxiliary, and it will not fall into a disadvantage. The problem is that the road for the Wolf Cavalry Guards is smooth.
If the life span is enough, the soldiers of the Wolf Cavalry can even repeatedly follow General Wei's three talent routes to gain experience and improve their various qualities.
This point is very unexplainable. From a certain perspective, the route pioneered by General Wei has been verified for more than 300 years. It can finally be determined that in the next stage of the road, this road is absolutely correct, and It is the only path that can guarantee stability and surpass the current Miracle Legion.
After all, the current mainstream quality of the Miracle Legion is only the condensation of internal energy, and the cultivation of Qi into Gang accounts for less than one-third, and the multiplier of talent is calculated based on the entire army.
This led to a very fatal result, that is, an army of 5,000 people was reorganized. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers who condensed the internal energy of the individual was 10, the Qi that was refined into a gang was 50, and the internal energy separated from the body was 500. Assuming the full combat effectiveness It is one hundred thousand, and the elite talent is three times that, and the overall combat power shown in the battle reaches three hundred thousand.
However, the distribution of combat power is not that all individuals increase threefold, but each soldier increases by +60. The result is that the inner energy condensed becomes 70, the inner energy becomes 110, and the inner energy becomes separated from the body. It has reached 560, which is the basis for the legion to kill individual strong men and surround enemy generals, because the enhancement of talents is not balanced.
This is also the reason why a dual-talented legion that is purely condensed with internal energy, when the talent intensity is the same, is definitely stronger than a dual-talented legion that draws qi into the body, because there is a clear gap in the overall combat effectiveness as the basis.
