Chapter 126: If the Tao is poor, it will change, and if the material is poor, it will be the opposite;
Divine weapons, only in the hands of the master can show the true value, a martial arts powerhouse, even if the weapon in his hand is just an ordinary sword, it is enough to open the mountain and break the rock without damaging the blade, if the sword is damaged, the biggest possibility is that its martial arts were broken cleanly, at that time even if it is a divine weapon in the hand is meaningless.
Of course, the above are some very extreme cases, and under normal circumstances, the hands of martial arts powerhouses are often divine weapons, and divine weapons can also greatly enhance their strength.
Shi Yi held a single knife from the chop, charging and killing above the city, he did not blindly pursue his own killing, but pursued the highest efficiency, rushed to a subordinate's side, knocked down the enemy around him, Shi Yi will not make up for another knife, but attack the next target, and the subordinate will make up the knife to collect the head.
"General, take the knife!"
A warrior wearing the armor of Kaiyan's collar took off the scimitar tied to his back, and then threw it in the direction of Shi Yi with all his strength, with a swishing sound of breaking the air, Shi Yi waved his hand to take the knife and pulled it out, and with the extremely sharp keel scimitar in his hand, Shi Yi's combat power increased several times.
At this time, a garrison adjusted the city's defense ballista and headed towards Reni, who had cast the hand of flames? Troth opened fire, a large ballista burst into the air, when Reni noticed it, his face changed suddenly, this kind of heavy ballista can be used to siege the city, whether his long-range protection spell can be prevented, he has no bottom in his heart.
However, just when Renny felt that he was about to be bombarded, a flash of shadow flashed in front of him, and at the same time, there was also a dazzling knife light, Shi Yi flashed, and the crossbow spear in mid-air was directly cut off obliquely, breaking the quasi-head.
(I even cut off the ballista that was fired with a knife!!) )
In Reni? When Tros was stunned, the tank lurking in the distance? Ormedo also saw the flames rising, and he rushed out with a howl, and when he saw that the commander was still like this, the warriors behind the tank also howled and followed.
Because there are no woods near the Kaiyan Territory (required for city defense), even in the night, everyone lurks far away, and it will take a while to rush to the city, and the people who have been fighting on the city wall are even more energetic when they hear the charge of reinforcements below.
"Open the gates and let our brethren in." At this time, Shi Yi's left hand already had a snatched shield, he held a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, it was impossible to turn the mechanism in person, Shi Yi's speed of turning the mechanism was only slightly faster than that of ordinary soldiers, and his combat killing efficiency was several times more than that of ordinary soldiers.
Because of the alertness and caution of the garrison captain just now, the defense force on the head of the city was completely activated, and the twenty sergeants who were used by Kaiyan to change the guard did not return to their respective homes in the city, but lived in the dormitory, so the speed of pouring out was quite slow, but when they came out, what they saw was Shi Yi holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right, and two people standing in a pool of corpse blood.
The rest of the people were all sent by Shi Yi, and were taken by the young mage Reni to open the city gate, Kaiyan Territory has no moat, the city gate is not in the form of a drawbridge, but the outer layer is dropped with a heavy iron barrage gate, and then closed with wooden doors on both sides, because of the heaviness of the iron bar, so Kaiyan Territory is very troublesome and heavy no matter who opens the city gate, and it takes several strong men to operate with the power of machinery, but this kind of thing is also a defensive advantage.
In ancient times, the warriors of the qi and blood system were at the strength level, wearing heavy armor, planning good horses and horses, holding big guns and killing hundreds of people such as cutting grass, tearing the soil and sealing the territory, and being the king and the prince.
But that's because the strength level warriors are strong, can wear heavy armor, and at the same time the strength is spread throughout the body, and can resist strong blunt blows without injury, such fierce generals are in the ancient battlefield, most of the weak attacks are useless to them, plus they are easy to kill, of course, they are the big killers on the battlefield, so the ancients said that a thousand troops are easy to get, and one will be difficult to find.
But if you take off the heavy armor, the same as ordinary people, will be shot by an arrow at the vital point and bleed to death, and the situation on the battlefield is chaotic, if you are unlucky, many unexpected situations are simply impossible to predict and avoid.
Therefore, even Shi Yi was very cautious in this situation, with a kite-shaped shield in his left hand to protect his body and a knife in his right hand, he did not rush up to kill, but led his two subordinates to block the Kaiyan Leader soldiers who ran out of the camp, preventing them from interfering to prevent Reni's team from opening the city gate.
Because of the ferocity and bravery that Shi Yi showed before, the indescribable but clearly perceptible sword heroism, the recruits led by Kaiyan were actually demoralized, and they didn't dare to move forward when they looked at each other.
Kaiyan's Territory is rich in crossbowmen, and there are crossbowmen among them, but Shi Yi and his two subordinates are stuck in a dead corner of the wall, at least in this era, Shi Yi dares to say that no one knows how to shoot ballistics better than himself!
When the iron fence of the city gate was raised, the gate was opened, and the tank rushed in with the main force, the territory of Kaiyan had already reached the overall situation, no matter how strong the city defense was, no matter how good the city defense facilities were, if there was a lack of enough elite soldiers to operate, it would be equal to nothing.
The army soon took over the entire Castle Rock Territory and besieged the Simpsons Inner Fort.
"Looks like my son has failed. Lord of the Frostwolf Lord, I am willing to take the responsibility that all defeated nobles should bear, but I also ask you to keep the honor you deserve as a nobleman, and stop killing senselessly. ”
When Shi Yi put on his armor again and rode a war horse to the inner fort of the Simpsons family, a gray-haired old lady stood up to take charge, due to the long war, almost all the adult males of the Simpsons family have died or are disabled, so there is really no need to exterminate the race.
"Honorable Madam, the Simpsons will be stripped of their titles, land, and wealth, and you may keep some of your belongings, subject to inspection, and you will then move to the Frostwolf Realm to live as civilians."
After Shi Yi made a public promise, the gray-haired old lady ordered someone to open the inner fort, and the Simpsons family, the lord of Kaiyan, died out, and this will be the territory of the frostwolf realm from now on.
Conquering the most difficult of the five major territories in one night, Shi Yi ordered the betrayed former garrison captain Tao Ma to be the consul, and a river bend leader infantry captain to be the sheriff to jointly manage the land.
Next, forty-six Riverband Lord's infantry will be stationed here, mixed with the local forces as a defensive force, and the forty Frostwolf spearmen who have not suffered losses will return to the Frostwolf Territory with twenty captured crossbowmen who have been incorporated into the army.
Although it is not wrong to go back and forth like this, on the one hand, Shi Yi's dominance is high enough, his prestige is strong enough, and he has won consecutive battles, and on the other hand, Shi Yi has rewarded enough gold and materials, and he has emptied the inner treasury of the Simpson family, and the survival cost of an old family like this is very high.
It is said that it takes three generations to cultivate a nobleman, but because all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation are exquisite, all aspects require high expenses.
The nobles from the commoners raised the cavalry team, the old nobles raised the slave clowns, and then the commoner nobles rose and the old nobles fell, which seems to be a reincarnation.
Of course, the aristocratic class itself will also unite to frantically block and suppress the opportunities for the promotion of commoners, and this union is the kind of Western Middle Ages on Earth, where long-term intermarriage between royal families and nobles and nobles leads to each other being relatives. When you are not their relative, then you must not be a nobleman, so far the logic is closed.
Having said so much above, it is actually to reflect one thing, that is, although the Simpson family felt that they did not have much money, when Shi Yi emptied their inner treasury, he found that there was really a lot of money, and if he could even buy horses, it was enough to raise a cavalry team by himself.
The money in the minds of the old nobles and the money in the minds of the commoner nobles are not the same concept at all.
Two days later, between the mountains.
"In such a hurry, you have to rush back to the Frostwolf Domain, and you are going to attack the Frost Wolf Territory next, right? Actually, why be in such a hurry, you first slowly digest the Kaiyan Domain, so that your strength will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, you will not let the two northern lords attack you desperately, and swallow land nearly three times the size of yourself in a short period of time, such a decision is too radical. ”
Forty Frostwolf spearmen, twenty Crossbowmen of the Kaiyan Lord, guarded the Simpsons' clansmen and fortunes to the Frostwolf Realm, tanks managed them, and Shi Yi and the young mage Rennie rode along the mountain paths.
Reni took the opportunity to advise Shi Yi not to be too greedy to continue fighting, although whether it was the defensive battle of the Frost Wolf Leader or the siege battle of the Kaiyan Leader, Shi Yi fought extremely beautifully, but all kinds of unstable factors also existed.
Letting that betrayer become the consul and letting the warriors of the Lords of the River Bends garrison the Territory of Kaiyan are of course exquisite arrangements, but in case of a bloody conflict between the warriors of the Lords of the Rivers and the civilians of the Territory of Kaiyan, the fragile balance will be suddenly broken, and at that time, the situation on Shi Yi's side will deteriorate in an all-round way, and it is even possible to collapse as a result.
"What? After all, it's your hometown, your father, and your heart hurts? Also riding on a horse, Shi Yi said with a smile after hearing Rennie's advice.
"I'm worried that you'll fall apart, and I'll not only have a reputation for betrayal, but also a reputation for stupidity."
"It's not a situation where I can decide whether to fight or not, but even if I don't want to, your father will probably come and beat me!"
"After I dispatched forty frostwolf spearmen, the entire frostwolf territory is less than eighty professional soldiers managing one hundred and ninety prisoners, if I were your father, the Duke of Tross, I would definitely have done my best at this time, let's fight first." Shi Yi rode a horse and walked in front and said.
"Impossible, my father I still know, he doesn't have that kind of courage at all, not to mention that the Lordship of the River Bend has suffered heavy losses, and at most he can gather a force of a hundred people, how can a force of this size capture the Frost Wolf Lord? If it's you, that's a slight possibility. "In making such an assertion, Reney? Tros patted Shi Yi's ass lightly, but he was really impressed by the military talent of the person in front of him, whether it was the defensive battle of the Frost Wolf Leader or the siege battle of Kaiyan Leader, it was almost the largest result with the smallest loss.
Therefore, Shi Yi's troops have not only not decreased due to successive wars, but are even increasing, of course, because of the load of the territory, they need to be guarded by garrisons, so they are reduced, but this is not because of the decrease in casualties.
"Don't have the guts? If you really don't have the guts, how can you use the strategy of the old general of your family, if you really don't have the guts, you won't even have the Frost Wolf Leader defensive battle that night, and if I don't wake up at the last moment, I will really be almost defeated. ”
"Your father has no choice, if he doesn't take advantage of the gap between the second northern leaders to recuperate after the battle and annex my frost wolf territory, then after the northern second leader recovers, the first thing to attack is not my frost wolf territory, but his river bay territory. Because everyone knows that the lord of the river bend is rich in economy, and the lord of the frost wolf is bitter and cold, the two northern lords are not short of combat power, only after capturing the lord of the river bend and obtaining enough resources, they can fully develop their military strength, as long as they understand this, the Duke of Tros has only one way to go. ”
Under Shi Yi's suggestion, I figured out the trick, Rennie? Troth's face turned slightly, and he said: "Since the Territory of the River Bend is rich in economy and has great strategic value, why don't you attack the Territory of the River Bend but attack the Territory of Kaiyan first?" ”
"Because the river pirates in your hometown are really powerful, I have to give your father some chance to win, so that he can choose to fight."
"Then, take out most of the river pirates in the Riverbend Territory in a battle......" Shi Yi's words were not finished, Rennie? Tros already fully understood and said the answer directly.
What Shi Yi wants is a balanced economic development center, so the river pirates must be eliminated, these guys are similar to coastal pirates, at least most of them must be eliminated, otherwise the local business development and tax collection will be too suppressed.
Along the way, a conversation with the Lord of the Frost Wolves made Rennie? Troth's head was buzzing, but at the same time, he was completely convinced that the man in front of him was a man who ruled the world and pacified the war, but he became more and more convinced of his decision: he did not betray his family, in the face of such an existence, the Tros family had no chance to win, and his choice was for a better continuation of the family.
When the territory of the Lord of Frost Wolves grows larger and larger, the Lords of the River Bend will still return to the Tros family. When they returned to the Frostwolf Domain, they received the news that Duke Hector Tros was personally leading an army to attack, and his army numbered two hundred men, including a fifty-man cavalry unit leased from the Second Commander of the North.
……………
How much blood did Duke Tros have, and what kind of conditions did he offer, so that the two northern leaders could jointly put together a cavalry force of fifty people for him, the Frost Wolf Lord's side is unknown, but only from the perspective of the size of the army, Duke Héctor Tros really emptied the Lords of the Riverbend.
On the night of the Frostwolf Lord's defensive battle, the Lords of the River Bend sent a total of 150 professional soldiers, and the remaining troops on his hands were only enough to barely defend, but after receiving the news of the defeat through light cavalry, the Duke of Tros quickly recruited a large number of professional soldiers, expanding the 50-man professional soldier force to 150 men.
River pirates, in fact, are relatively wealthy fishermen, physically stronger than ordinary civilians, and can also be equipped with better armor weapons if they have surplus wealth, but also because they have surplus wealth, so if they are not paid high enough, these fishermen will not go to join the army to fight for their lives, and now directly recruit a hundred adult river bandits, which may not cost less than directly forming a cavalry team of fifty people, but the actual combat power of the two cannot be compared.
Duke Hector Tross had the idea of using this army that had been cobbled together at great cost to forcibly capture the Frostwolf Lord, which was limited by a large number of prisoners and battle damage, but despite his hurry, Arno? The speed at which Afar captured the Kaiyan Territory was too fast, and when he learned from the mouth of the light cavalry scout that a seventy-man army had returned to the Frostwolf Territory, there were already some white-haired, bald, brightly armored old men, who were slightly puzzled, but still felt that the general trend had gone, and there was no chance.
These seventy troops merged into the original troops in the city, and although the existing military strength still maintained an advantage for the time being, it was a little delusional to want to use this advantage to break through the city.
While Duke Hector Tros was ready to retreat and return to the Lords of the Bend to reconsider his plans, Arno, Lord of the Frostwolves? Afar himself led a force of 120 men to catch up with Duke Tros and engage him in a general battle.
Duke Héctor Tros, with a total strength of two hundred, fifty cavalry, thirty archers, twenty infantry, and one hundred river pirates.
Arnold? Afar, with a total strength of two hundred, forty pikemen, twenty infantry, twenty archers, forty frostwolf spearmen.
Although they went around and around, in the end, it was Shi Yi's old team that had just arrived, the thirty newly recruited Kaiyan crossbowmen and the sixty newly recruited frostwolf spearmen, all of whom stayed in the city to supervise the prisoners...... In fact, it is not impossible to kill all those captives directly and go into battle lightly, but after all, they are all well-trained professional soldiers, and Shi Yi already regards them as his future source of soldiers, but he refuses to kill them directly.
"Lord, this battle is not easy to fight, although we have forty spearmen in our hands, but the enemy's fifty cavalry is still very difficult to deal with, they will not fight with us, the cavalry has a mobile advantage, not to mention that our total strength is less." The military general Janos was a little sad, he didn't know that if Duke Hector Tros went back, it would be ten times more difficult to attack the Lordship of the River Bend in the future, but if he gambled like this, one was not good, and he would lose all the advantages he had won before.
This battle is probably not a tragic victory, it must be a hearty victory, otherwise, the decision of the monarch of his own family will be wrong.
However, with the current strength in his hands to fight a big victory, Anos feels that it is difficult or even unimaginable, in the cold weapon war, the cavalry will always be the core of the army, the decisive weapon, because against the opponent with cavalry, you can't escape if you lose, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, at least half of the casualties, but even if you win, it is difficult to expand the results, the defeat is determined, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and it will not die to the end at all.
If it is the scale of the war on the battlefield of ancient China, which is often tens of thousands of people or tens of thousands, it is good to say, because there is the possibility of encirclement, but on the battlefield of the Western thousand-man war, even if it is a big war, the knights cannot stop it at all.
This is also the reason why the Northern Second Ridge is finally willing to support the two cavalry teams with a lot of money, because the captain of the cavalry is not Duke Héctor Tross, and once the battle situation is not good, the two cavalry will choose to retreat.
Of course, they will still do their best, because the lord behind them doesn't want the Frost Wolf Mountain to really sit on it completely.
In the decisive battle on the plains, Duke Héctor Tros took the lead in advancing in a continuous formation with a mixed force of fifty infantry archers, and behind this mixed force was a hundred river pirates, and he also knew very well in his heart that he lacked dominance over the cavalry regiment on his opponent, so it was okay for them to obey orders under normal circumstances, and it was okay to fight with the wind, but it was impossible to let them fight to the death directly for themselves, so such a marching tactic, but Duke Héctor Tros did not expect to win with his own troops, As long as his army of one hundred and fifty men can force the opponent into chaos, then when the cavalry regiment rushes into the melee, he will win.
"Front, defend! Archers, salvo! ”
Shi Yi rode his horse in front of the battlefield, directly commanding the battle, and there was a tank standing next to him? Olmedo and the mage Reni? Troth, and Janos, as the captain of the guard, directly commanded forty frostwolf spearmen.
The infantry in the early stage, the archers attacked each other, these are all good to say, military routine operations, but when the two armies rushed to a certain distance, the forty frostwolf spearmen who were relatively close to the rear began to enter, because each frostwolf spearman only had seven spears on his body, so the number of throws was limited, and if the enemy did not reach a certain distance, he would not choose to attack.
And when the distance reached a certain level, accompanied by Shi Yi's signal, Yanos shouted: "Ready." "Put!"
Whizzing and swishing, a piece of spear flew high in the air, and then smashed into the enemy's array with a beautiful parabola.
Just the first round of attacks, brought nearly ten casualties to the enemy formation, Yanos thought that his lord would leave a part of the spear throwing to the opponent's cavalry troops, but as a result, he did not receive such an order, because Yanos could only give orders over and over again, as much as possible to bring extreme damage to the opponent, although the opposite river pirates, there are also some axes and javelins, but their level of use of this weapon is not enough to compare with the specialized frostwolf spearman.
After seven rounds of continuous throwing, the mixed force of one hundred and fifty men was almost defeated by sixty or seventy people, almost half, but fortunately, the distance was finally very close, and the two sides quickly took on the formation, and the forty frostwolf spearmen switched from long-range to melee, drew their sidearms and began to charge.
Although the frostwolf spearmen were mainly long-range kills, their melee combat ability was only slightly weaker than that of the infantry, not inferior to the river pirates, or even stronger, but as the melee involved the forty pikemen in formation, the cavalry troops in the distance finally began to move.
As long as the arms of the spear array are restrained, fifty horses charge in, which can directly bring huge lethality to rewrite the battle situation, and, it seems that in pursuit of extreme killing, the two cavalry teams attacked from both sides separately, like a two-headed dragon tactic, the soldiers were divided into two ways, and they attacked the center together.
"Tank, let's go to a good fight, if you can't win, you won't be allowed to come back."
"Yes!" After receiving the order of the sovereign, he has long been unable to hold his giant tank? Olmedo, roaring and holding an iron thorn and twin hammers rushed into the formation, he only attacked but did not defend, only advanced and did not retreat, and even javelins, axes and stabs on his body could only make this guy more and more crazy and angry.
"Renny, join the fray as well. But remember, you are not allowed to interfere in my battles! ”
"Huh!?" The fifty cavalry not far away were already about to arrive, Elene? Troth's cleverness also failed to understand the meaning of Shi Yi's words for a while.
However, he understood the next moment, because Shi Yi had already singled out his sword and rode out, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "If you interfere with my battle, I will kill you directly." ”
It's a very bland narrative, and there isn't even much emotional ebb and flow in it, but Reney? Tros clearly felt that the other party was serious.
Not to mention that our young mage was stunned, when the fifty-man cavalry team saw the Lord of the Frost Wolf rushing out with a sword and a horse, they were also stunned, but the next moment they were ecstatic and turned their horse's head towards Shi Yi and rushed over, if they could kill the Lord of the Frost Wolf, it would be more glorious and more meritorious for them than winning this war.
Crazy, crazy, almost everyone who still has the sanity to observe the battlefield thinks that the Lord of the Frost Wolves has gone completely crazy.
However, at this moment, Shi Yi's eyes are calm and thorough, except for extreme concentration, there is no other emotion.
If the road is poor, it will change, and if the material is poor, it will be the opposite. Almost all martial arts in the world are created for the purpose of killing and destroying, but to truly reach the extreme, break through the extreme, what will ultimately bring is the opposite of the goal, life and evolution.
In the neighing of the war horses, the two knights who were carried away by the honor of the interests and Shi Yi hedged, but the sword light flickered, and in an instant, only two war horses were left running behind Shi Yi, and the knights on the war horses had already smashed to the ground.
Since entering this world, Shi Yi has been chasing a hearty extreme battle, and now, he has finally found it.
In the brilliant light of the sword, forty-eight strong horsemen began to chase around Shi Yi and began to encircle and kill, these professional cavalry's riding skills are very good, Shi Yi's riding skills are not bad, the role of horse steps: exercise the strength of the lower limbs, aphrodisiac, strengthen the defense of the spearmen array, and simulate equestrianism.
Between the ups and downs of the squatting, Shi Yi's whole person pedaled on the horse, but the whole person seemed to be integrated with the war horse, because there were enemies in all directions, all of them were attacks, so his mental attention had to be extremely concentrated.
One knight after another was cut off by Shi Yi, but the other knights were red-eyed and didn't care, they never believed that someone in this world could kill fifty cavalrymen alone, and more importantly, their eyes and hearts were already filled with greed.
If you can kill the Lord of the Frost Wolves, it will be a lifetime of wealth and glory.
In comparison, Shi Yi only had martial arts in his eyes. I hope to break through the most extreme realm of life with the most extreme martial arts: Dan Dao Human Immortal.
In ancient times, the average life expectancy of Chinese people was about fifty years old, even if the dignitaries were pampered, they could live to the age of seventy very few, and those who chiseled the wall on the cliff to practice, swallowed the sun and the moon, and stole the heavenly machine, often lived to be 100 years old, and even according to records, Wudang Zhang Sanfeng lived to be 149 years old, nearly three times higher than ordinary people.
Therefore, the Taoist longevity technique is not fake from ancient times to the present, but modern people do not understand the ancient environment, so they feel that it is all deception, the average life expectancy of people in many places in the Tang Dynasty is only about thirty years old, and a Dan Dao immortal who has cultivated to the limit of physical fitness, the life span can be three to five times higher than that of ordinary people in that era, this kind of seeker is called an immortal by the world, and the normal can no longer be normal.
As the Dan Dao, which is the ultimate in the development of human potential and martial arts, it brings a deep potential stimulation and a significant extension of life.
Whoosh.
In the melee, Shi Yi also began to bear the attack, began to be injured, and his spirit was infinitely extremely focused all the time, and two throwing guns were suddenly thrown, and because of the long-term high-intensity contemplation battle, Shi Yi was still in a trance after all, and the gossip heart appeared in a black gap at an angle, and the two powerful throwing guns suddenly pierced the neck of Shi Yi's war horse, and threw the owner directly off the war horse.
Seeing this, the other knights were even more crazy, because there might still be entanglement in the state of riding horses, and the cavalry besieging the infantry was a one-sided killing.
That is, when he fell off his horse and turned over to unload his strength, as soon as he got up, the attacks from all sides came madly, and at that moment, the fear between life and death pushed the intensity of life to the limit, and the hair flew wildly, and Shi Yi's eyes even shone a terrifying essence light at this moment.
At this moment, he regarded his body as glass, and he maintained a state of gossip, but his mental consumption dropped to an incredible level.
(Captured, that's what a breakthrough feels like!) )
Turning around suddenly, while missing the sword light from the oblique slash, the opponent was cut off under the horse with a counterattack blow, and the next moment Shi Yi had already ridden the ownerless war horse, when the knights who were frantically chasing Shi Yi finally found that most of the companions around them had died, and at this moment, they found that the war was over, and the coalition army of the frost wolf led had seized this time to obtain the final victory. By this time, they were already chasing after them.
