Chapter 2: The Mountain Breaker
Eventually, a second-order warhorse named Mountain Breaker was born.
This is the first second-order war horse synthesized by Li Zheng, which looks inconspicuous, but its ability cannot be underestimated.
This kind of horse is not large, but it is much larger than the Mineore-eating Beast, about the size of a foal. The skull is triangular in point, with sharp teeth and short limbs, but the claws are terrifying, like sharp scythes.
The most striking thing is the bony back shell of the mountain breaking beast, which is very tough, even better than the iron armor!
The strength attribute of the mountain breaker is very strong, although it is not big, but its own strength is not worse than that of its Destroying Blade War Horse. It is worthy of being a second-order war horse, even if it is not a main battle horse, it is stronger than a first-order war horse!
Its only weakness is that it is not fast enough, which is about the same as an ordinary war horse.
But it doesn't matter, after all, it's not the main battle horse, and it's acceptable to be slower.
In addition to surpassing the first-order war cavalry in terms of attributes, the biggest feature of the second-order warhorse is the explicitness of its characteristics and the great enhancement of spirituality!
The Mountain Breaker is very spiritual, stronger than any kind of first-order battle horse!
Even with only his eyes, Li Zheng can have a simple communication with him, and his intelligence has reached the level of a seven- or eight-year-old child!
Especially the explicit nature of its characteristics!
The mountain breaker does not fully inherit the characteristics of the mineral-eating beast, it cannot feed on minerals, but is omnivorous, and plants and meat are not refused. However, it retains the characteristics of breaking mountains and opening stones, and every time the mountain beast is full of food, it will naturally dig into the rocks to play, as if to grind off the teeth and claws that grow too fast.
This is one of them.
The most powerful thing is its toxicity!
Very intense poison, which is inherited from the poison of a highly venomous snake and greatly enhanced. The saliva in their mouths can easily corrode away the rocks!
It can be said that this is a very dangerous war horse, although its speed is not fast, but its strength is large enough, and a single collision can knock people to pieces. Just one bite of spit can poison at least a few hundred people! If it is applied to a person, it can completely flesh and bone!
And being spiritually strong enough to be able to think, that's the biggest advantage.
Although the Mountain Breaker Beast is a special war horse, in Li Zheng's opinion, it is more than enough for war! Powerful power, solid defense, sharp minions, and intense poison are all killing weapons! It's too small to ride.
And what pleases Li Zheng the most is his ability to reproduce. It is an oviparous war rider that matures in a year and can lay more than five eggs in a litter.
There are biological growth accelerators, as long as there are thirty or fifty seeds, it can grow to hundreds after a year, and after three or five years, it is unimaginable.
Nodding with satisfaction, Li Zheng asked the system to record the recipe of the Broken Mountain Beast, and then immediately asked Zhao Wu to transport all the synthetic materials of the Broken Mountain Beast in the beast taming field to prepare for synthesis.
The raw material types of the mountain breaking beast are very simple, there are only three types, which are obtained by Li Zheng after two accumulation and synthesis. One is a turtle! The other is a venomous snake that cannot be named.
Li Zheng himself didn't expect that the turtle could be counted as a special species. Is it its tortoiseshell or because of its longevity?
As for the poisonous snake, Li Zheng also used it when he synthesized the first-order war horse, but he didn't expect that the second-order war horse could also be used. Presumably, it is so toxic that it can be regarded as a special species.
Turtles are easy to find, but snakes are not so easy.
On the same day, Li Zheng only synthesized about 30 mountain-breaking beasts, and immediately asked the mercenary union to issue a task to find this poisonous snake, striving to capture more poisonous snakes and synthesize more mountain-breaking beasts as much as possible!
Shenzhou grassland, under the hill to the east of the northern section, you can faintly see a row of brand-new holes.
This is the habitat that Li Zheng assigned to the mountain breaker.
Li Zheng and Xun You walked forward slowly, Li Zheng slowly squatted down, and several pointed heads immediately appeared in a row of holes.
The sound of a baby crying came from the mouths of these little ones.
War horses are born because of the system, and Li Zheng, as the host of the system, has an incomparable closeness to any war horse. When these mountain-breaking beasts felt Li Zheng's arrival, they all crawled out of the cave and surrounded Li Zheng, looking at him with eyes like children, all of them were full of admiration.
Li Zheng looked at them with a smile, touching their pointed heads wrapped in bony shells one by one, and these little guys immediately showed a look of enjoyment.
"These little guys are extremely powerful, with sharp claws, and they are highly poisonous, which is very dangerous, but in fact they are more simple." Li Zheng opened his mouth and said to Xun You, who was standing on the side: "And their personalities are very docile, if they are not threatened with their lives, they will not attack indiscriminately." ā
As he spoke, Li Zheng clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the mountain-breaking beasts, and then pointed at Xun You, and said to these little guys: "In the future, you will follow him, be obedient, be obedient, you know?" ā
When the mountain-breaking beasts heard this, they all showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, several mountain-breaking beasts surrounded Xun You, making Xun You a little at a loss.
The mountain-breaking beast sniffed Xun You's scent, rubbed it on his leg a few times, and snuggled and lay down.
Seeing this, Xun You was also infected by this spirituality, slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand, and carefully touched one of the ends.
"It's really spiritual!"
Xun You let go of his courage, played with the mountain beast for a while, and sighed: "It's good to have spirituality, it's better to drive." ā
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "The first-order battle horse lacks spirituality and can be used as a livestock drive, but the second-order battle horse is different. To be friends with them, to be partners, to establish a deep friendship with them, that is the king! ā
Xun You heard what he said, thoughtful.
"The matter of opening mountains and building roads can be carried out gradually. Recruit people first and be prepared. Of course, it must be strictly controlled, as long as the temperament is pure! These little guys are not easy to mess with, and if they do, they will basically die! To avoid trouble, it is important to make clear when recruiting manpower. At this stage, they will stay here to reproduce, and when the preparations are done, you will bring someone to collect them. ā
Xun You bowed slightly: "Your Majesty knows." When recruiting workers, the subordinates will list the various restrictions, indicate the characteristics of these little guys, and only recruit those who can be friends with them! ā
"That's good!"
Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Now there are only more than thirty little guys, and when the next batch of raw materials from the mercenary union is delivered, the number will increase rapidly, and this matter must be kept secret, and Yizhou must not be allowed to know the news."
"Your Majesty understands!"
In the blink of an eye, the first year of Chuping passed, the second year of Chuping, spring and April.
Yizhou, Chengdu.
State Pastoral Office.
At the beginning, Liu Yan saw that the world was about to be chaotic and wanted to seek a place to live. So he went to Emperor Ling and built yƬ to restart the state pastoral system. Originally, Liu Yan was going to Jiaozhou, which was sparsely populated, far away from the Central Plains, and would not be affected. But I heard that Yizhou had the spirit of a genius, so he asked Emperor Ling for the position of Yizhou pastor.
In the past few years, Liu Yan has worked hard to manage and finally brought Yizhou into his palm.
The martial arts under his command are prosperous, and he is quite high-spirited.
Earlier, the Kanto heroes begged Dong and also sent him a letter. However, Liu Yan rejected it on the grounds that Zhang Lu was blocked by Hanzhong.
Liu Yan is already old, and what he wants is to hold on to the one-third of an acre of land in Yizhou. As for how to fight outside, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to participate at all.
Seeing Dong Zhuo give up Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an, he thought that Dong Zhuo was about to weaken, but he didn't expect a series of subsequent changes that caught Liu Yan off guard.
Sun Jian was defeated by Liang Dong at the beginning of last year and almost lost his life. But this person is tenacious, not discouraged, and gathered the remnants of the army, with the support of Yuan Shu, continued to recruit soldiers and horses, but for more than half a year, it grew to the scale of 100,000 people, at the beginning of this year, he led the troops to occupy the Yangren, into Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo then sent his general Hu Zhen to lead the army to meet the attack.
But Hu Zhen was in a hurry, exposed his whereabouts, was ambushed by Sun Jian, and suffered a big defeat, and even his subordinates were killed by Sun Jian!
Hu Zhen was defeated and retreated, Sun Jian pursued, and finally reached Luoyang.
However, Luoyang is already in ruins, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be!
Sun Jian found the heirloom jade seal in the ruins of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, so he kept it privately. Then he led his troops to continue the pursuit, and when he arrived near Gucheng, he had an encounter with the Niu auxiliary army who came to help from Hangu Pass!
However, what shocked Sun Jian was that Niu Fu led no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but his armor was so good that it was simply appalling!
With more than 10,000 people, he defeated Sun Jian's army of nearly 100,000!
Sun Jian was defeated, so he had to retreat to Luoyang, Niu Fu attacked, defeated Sun Jian again, and drove Sun Jian's army to the Yanshi area.
Although there are many troops under Sun Jian's command, if you really want to talk about it in detail, there are only 12 out of 10 elite soldiers, and most of them are rabble. Weapons are rudimentary and there is no armor.
Even the so-called elite soldiers under Sun Jian's command are mostly only weapons and incomplete armor.
And the more than 10,000 troops led by Niu Fu are the elite troops equipped by the Xiliang armor that Dong Zhuo bought from Li Zheng at a high price!
It's no wonder that Sun Jian couldn't fight Niu Fu, it's not that his tactics are not up to par, it's not that he is not brave enough, it's just that the overall plain of the army is too much worse than Dong Zhuo's army, so that he has been defeated again and again.
Sun Jian's defeat shook the Kwantung princes.
Subsequently, civil strife broke out among the princes in the area of Sour Zao, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, killed Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, and the Sour Zao coalition army dispersed, leaving only one Cao Cao, who was still holding on.
As for Yuan Shao, who was stationed in Hanoi, he was firmly suppressed by Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't move. I also heard that Sun Jian was defeated, and I didn't dare to confront Dong Zhuojun head-on.
So Dong Zhuo's pressure on the east side plummeted, and considering the threat of Xiliang Li Zheng, he set his sights on Jingyi Erzhou!
In March, Dong Zhuo sent his generals Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, forcing the meridian road and the sloping valley, and the soldiers pointed directly at Hanzhong!
Now Liu Yan is anxious like an ant on a hot pot!
Last year, he saw the situation in the Central Plains, so he sent Huang Quan to Liangzhou to ally Li Zheng, but because of Li Zheng's strange conditions, Liu Yan never made a decision.
However, now that Dong Zhuo has really moved his troops, Liu Yan can't hold it anymore!
Zhang Lu definitely can't stop Dong Zhuo! Once Dong Zhuo took Hanzhong, Yizhou was exposed to Dong Zhuo's troops. Although Yizhou was heavily defended and the terrain was steep, Liu Yan did not dare to take it as a bet!
Hanzhong, there can be no loss!
