"protecting mask?"
As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, a product column appeared in front of him.
Name: protective cover.
Function: Reduces all damage by 50%.
Note: Consumables, each protective cover can only be used once.
Price: 1 million copper coins.
Lu Bu looked at the function of the protective shield and was quite satisfied with it, but after seeing the price, he immediately changed his mind.
too expensive!
Selin saw Lu Bu's confusion and said with a smile, "Hero, do you think the protective shield is expensive?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, "One million is not expensive, but it's too expensive. I can't afford it!"
Selin shook his head, "Hero, in the face of life, is 1 million still expensive?"
At this point, Selin paused and looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes, "Hero, although the protective shield can only protect against 50% of the damage, if it loses 50% of the damage, you might be in danger. Isn't this 1 million copper coins a lot in comparison to being able to save a life?"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood the value of the protective shield.
Speaking of which, the function of the protective shield is different from what Lu Bu thought.
What Lu Bu is looking for now is to resist the venom sprayed by the evil crow, and it is also a consumable product, the price is not high, and he can afford it.
Therefore, he did not consider the function of the protective cover, but it just felt expensive.
But now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that although the protective shield was worth 1 million copper coins, it was indeed not expensive compared to its functions.
If you keep one by your side and use it in critical moments, you can really survive the danger.
However, for Lu Bu now, the price is still a bit too luxurious!
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Selin, let's talk about the protective shield later. Now I just want to buy some items or equipment that can resist poison."
Selin nodded, "If you don't need to defend against swords and just defend against venom attacks, I have a recommendation."
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "What is it?"
As he finished speaking, a product column appeared in front of him.
Name: Shield of Leroux.
Material: leather.
Efficacy: Can resist venom attacks.
Note: Since the entire shield is made of leather, it can only protect against venom and cannot protect against being cut by a sword, otherwise it will be damaged.
Price: 10,000 copper coins.
Selin explained, "Hero, Leroux is an extremely venomous snake, and the Leroux Shield is made of its skin, so it has an excellent defense against venom.
However, the Shield of Leroux is made of leather and cannot protect against sword slashes, so don't try it. "
Lu Bu looked at the price of the Shield of Leroux and nodded, "In terms of price, it's quite appropriate, but can it really block poisonous attacks?"
Selin nodded, "It is indeed possible, and the effect is quite good."
Lu Bu thought about it in his mind. He wanted to send a total of 300 archers into the adventure world. Even if they were divided into 6 groups, they would only need six Shields of Leroux.
"Selin, I want to buy six Shields of Leroux."
As Lu Bu finished speaking, the system automatically deducted 60,000 copper coins, and Lu Bu also received six Shields of Leroux.
Lu Bu took out a Shield of Leroux and examined it in his hand.
The shield of Leroux is very light. It is made of a thin layer of iron and is made into a round shape. On the outside, it is wrapped with a layer of Leroux snake skin, and the shield is made.
Selin saw the doubt in Lu Bu's mind and said with a smile, "Hero, don't look at the shield of Leroux as it is very light, but it is really very effective. In addition to not being used as a normal shield, it can defend against venom attacks. He is the strongest here."
Lu Bu looked at Selin who was swearing, and then felt a little relieved and left with the Shield of Leroux.
…
East China Sea.
In a canyon among a hill, in addition to large trees full of life, there are also many tents set up.
Countless Taishan Army soldiers, armed with sharp knives, guarded the entrance to the canyon to prevent refugees from entering and leaving at will.
The valley is also heavily defended. Groups of Taishan Army soldiers patrol the valley carefully, especially in places with dense woods, for fear of outsiders getting in.
This is where Chang Xi lives in the mountains!
Chang Xi was a cunning man. Although he could come and go freely in the East China Sea, he refused to stay at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he returned to live in the mountain where conditions were harsh.
Because he knew very well that although living under the mountain was more comfortable, it was also relatively more dangerous.
Although he can come and go freely in the East China Sea now, it does not mean that he can always do so.
After all, what everyone calls the Taishan Army is just the Taishan Bandits, a group of rebels, or in the eyes of some people, just a pile of merit.
Chang Xi didn't want to be the credit of others, so he would not stay in Donghai, but would continue to live in seclusion in the mountains.
In the deepest part of the valley, there is a larger tent, where Chang Xi and others discuss matters.
Chang Xi sat in the middle, his eyes narrowed, silently listening to his subordinates' report.
"General Chang, the food promised by Xuzhou has been delivered."
The speaker was Chang Xi's general Yang Hu, who had a sinister face and a hoarse tone.
Chang Xi nodded, "Have you checked it? Is the quantity sufficient?"
Yanghu nodded, "I've already checked, 3,000 shi of grain, no less."
Yang Huai, who was standing aside, asked tentatively, "General Chang, since the food from Xuzhou has been delivered, shouldn't we take action?"
Chang Xi frowned slightly, "General Yang, how is the situation with the refugees?"
Yang Huai smiled slightly, raised his hands and said, "General Chang, we have gathered 30,000 refugees. As long as we give the order, these 30,000 refugees will rush to Xiaopei."
Chang Xi nodded, "Now that the refugees are ready, let's set off. Since we have collected their food, how can we not do something?"
Yang Huai hurriedly handed over his hand, "Since we have food now, let's give them some porridge and water to drink."
Yanghu waved his hand hurriedly, "General Chang, those refugees are all cannon fodder anyway and will be lost sooner or later. It would be a waste to give them food."
Yang also frowned, "If we don't let them eat some food, should we let them crawl to Xiaopei?"
After saying this, Yang turned around and cupped his hands towards Chang Xi, and said slowly, "General Chang, many of those refugees are so hungry that they can't stand up. If they don't eat something, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive until the end of the day." Pei, many people will fall, wouldn’t it be useless?”
Hearing these words, Chang Xi frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded, "Then give them a small amount of food and add some more water, as long as they can last until Xiaopei."
Yanghu snorted, "It's such a waste to feed those refugees."
Chang Xi smiled slightly and said, "General Yang, if you don't do a better job in Xiaopei this time, how can you ask for food from Xuzhou again?"
Hearing this, Yanghu's eyes lit up, "General Chang, do you mean that Xuzhou will still send us food?"
Chang Xi suddenly snorted coldly, "If Xuzhou wants to take advantage of us, of course it has to pay more. How can it do so with a mere 3,000 shi of grain!"
Yanghu reacted, nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile, "General Chang is still thoughtful. When the critical moment comes, we will ask for food again. If they don't give it, we will withdraw our troops immediately to see if they dare not to give it."
After hearing this, Chang Xi nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, this is his plan!
It’s not easy for someone to deliver food, so why don’t you think of a way to get more!
…
Zhang Liu closed his eyes and lay in the crowd. Although there was a foul smell all around, he was already used to it.
Although it is very smelly here, it is very quiet. All the refugees are lying on the ground leaning on each other. No one speaks except when necessary.
In other words, they no longer have the energy to speak.
Zhang Liu lay there, hungry in front of his heart and in his back. When he opened his eyes, he saw stars flashing in front of him.
But at this time, his mind was extremely active. Looking back on the past, although there was pain, thinking about it now made him feel extremely sweet.
No matter how painful it was in the past, I would always go hungry, but I could still survive by drinking a bowl of porridge every day.
By now, he has no relatives left, only deep memories.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation not far away, followed immediately by a heartbreaking cry.
Zhang Liu did not open his eyes because he knew that someone might not be able to hold on anymore.
The people around him were the same as him, no one opened their eyes to see, because this kind of thing was already commonplace.
Zhang Liu listened to the shouts without any pain in his heart, because he knew that it wouldn't be long before he himself would end up with this result.
At this moment, shouting suddenly came from the distance.
"Listen up, General Chang takes pity on everyone. He is giving out porridge to everyone. Come and get the porridge quickly. After you finish drinking, go to work."
Hearing this voice, Zhang Liu almost suspected that he was dreaming, and there were already people around him exclaiming.
"Really, there seem to be a few cauldrons there?"
Hearing this voice, Zhang Liu sat up suddenly, barely opening his eyes and looking towards the source of the voice.
Sure enough, there were soldiers boiling water in pots over there.
it is true!
Zhang Liu reluctantly got up, took his broken clay pot, and walked towards the cauldron.
There were a lot of people. Zhang Liu waited in line for a long time and finally received a bowl of steaming porridge.
Zhang Liu squatted aside and slowly tasted the aroma of the food.
There are seven grains of rice, eight grains of sand, and the rest are water and soil.
These few grains of rice not only failed to fill him up, but made Zhang Liu feel even hungrier.
But here’s the good news, at least you can feel hungry!
A wave of heat surged from his body, making Zhang Liu feel that he was more or less human now, and he could barely sit on the ground and look at the situation around him.
According to his past experience, as long as he gives them porridge, there must be something to do.
In order to drink this bowl of porridge with only seven grains of rice, everyone had no choice but to do it even though they knew it was dangerous.
Where are you going this time?
Are you going to grab territory?
While Zhang Liu was thinking wildly, someone finally gave the order.
"Everyone, listen up. General Chang has an order for everyone to go to Xiaopei."
When the refugees heard the news, although they knew what they were going to do, they were not surprised. After all, this kind of thing was done in the East China Sea.
Although many people died in the siege, everyone would more or less have a full meal after the palace captured the city.
That day, 30,000 refugees rushed in the direction of Xiaopei.
The refugees were already very weak and walked very slowly. It took them two days to reach the border of Xiaopei, where they stopped.
As for the reason, Zhang Liu also knew because he was walking at the front and saw many soldiers stationed on the border of Xiaopei.
These Xiaopei officers and soldiers blocked the official road with a fence. If they wanted to enter, they had to rush through it.
…
In the Chinese army's tent, Chang Xi looked at Yang Huai who came to report, "General Yang, how many troops and horses does Lu Bu's army have stationed in front?"
Yang Huai hurriedly handed over his hand, "General Chang, the last general sent someone to inquire. There are about 3,000 soldiers and horses."
"3,000 people?"
Yanghu, who was standing aside, sneered disdainfully, "It turns out there are only 3,000 people. Wait until early tomorrow morning and let the refugees rush in front. We will take the opportunity to cover up from behind. We will definitely defeat Lu Bu's army in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Yang Huai frowned and said, "General Yang, Lu Bu's army is different from the officers and soldiers of Donghai. According to rumors, Lu Bu's army is extremely brave. Our army still needs to be careful."
Hearing these words, Yanghu looked up to the sky and laughed, "General Yang, you are too careful. If Lu Bu's army is really as brave as you said, then may I ask why such brave soldiers and horses were killed?" To drive them out of Yanzhou, let me say, they must be a group of incompetent people, otherwise, how could they have suffered successive defeats and be driven out of Yanzhou and hide here."
Yang Huai's expression changed, "General Yang, the failure of Lu Bu's army in Yanzhou does not mean that their troops are weak."
Yanghu snorted coldly, "Lü Bu's army failed in Yanzhou. Let me tell you, it cannot be called a strong army in any case. It is just a group of incompetent people. What is there to worry about."
Having said this, Yanghu turned to Chang Xi, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "General Chang, if the general is willing to lead his troops tomorrow, we will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu's army in one battle."
After hearing this, Chang Xi nodded with satisfaction, "I know you are brave, so you can command the battle tomorrow, but you have to remember that Lu Bu's army is different from the Bei Navy, so you have to be careful. Do you understand? ?”
A trace of disdain flashed in Yanghu's eyes, but he still held up his hands and said, "I will obey your orders."
Chang Xi turned to look at Yang Huai and said slowly, "General Yang, we have to let those refugees rush the card tomorrow. I'm afraid there will be a lot of damage. Don't put the porridge tomorrow morning to save wastage of food."
"this?"
Yang Huai was taken aback and said hurriedly, "General Chang, if you don't give those refugees something to eat, how can they have the strength to charge!"
Yanghu snorted coldly, "General Yang, do you still expect those refugees to fight Lu Bu's army?
Humph, those refugees just broke down the ranks of Lu Bu's army. It is our soldiers who are really fighting.
Let me say, feed our soldiers early tomorrow morning so that they can have the strength to fight. As for the refugees, it is better to save a province. And even if they are full, if they don’t go to die until early tomorrow morning, wouldn’t that be a waste of food? . "
