Chapter 538: Heavenly Master
The siege of the Qiang people seems to be chaotic, in short, it is howling and whining......
In the beginning, there were even cases where people ran faster than the ladder!
However, in terms of siege, the Qiang people have one of the biggest advantages - they are not afraid of death.
Although there are ethnic differences within the Qiang people, the same thing is that all kinds of "Qiang Ji" are basically fundamentally different from the city Ji.
And the best thing about Cheng Ji is not because they live in the "city", but because they can extract civilian manpower to synthesize Ji to make soldiers!
In other words, the separation of military and civilian has been realized, unlike all kinds of alien races, especially nomadic herders, fishing and hunting, who often directly "transfer" ordinary people into soldiers......
"All the people are soldiers" sounds scary and difficult to fight, but it has the defects of weak follow-up, catastrophe and population growth, after all, the amount of food will increase greatly after "changing jobs".
There is a lack of producers per se, and consumption is also increased...... The pressure to survive can be imagined.
History has proven time and again that conscription and the separation of the army from producers are symbols of higher productivity.
Whether it is plundering others or plundering nature, creation and production are kings.
If you simply consider the frontal battlefield, it is true that "all people are soldiers" is very grinding.
Ordinary Jizao soldiers require 20 manpower to synthesize, and if you normally draw manpower, you can only extract 1 unit of manpower per population per year.
Almost everyone of these alien races can change jobs......
In the face of the Qiang people, it is better to defend the pass, after all, the warriors of the Qiang people mainly have to cooperate with the "war horse" to fight, and the city wall is not a place where the war horse can come up.
But the trouble is that under Ma Chao, these Qiang people are even more brave than when they were under the command of the head of the family.
The Qiang people's fierce siege of the city really brought Zhang Wei some trouble, especially ...... Some Qiang people, who are comparable to gilded generals, directly and spontaneously topped the front.
What's even worse is Ma Chao himself......
After entering the "Shenwei Mode", neither the popular power on the city wall nor the interference force field gathered by the soldiers of Ji Zao could no longer affect the flight of the transcendent gods.
Ma Chao jumped directly onto the tall city wall, and his body size of more than three meters was not only conspicuous, but also caused a great deterrent to the surrounding Heavenly Master Army.
I saw Ma Chao's figure, flashing again and again at the juncture, or connecting the two throwing spears together, turning into a double-headed spear for hand-to-hand combat, or throwing the throwing gun, or even ...... can also make the thrown gun in the beckoning room, just like the white mang's recall in his own hands!
Especially when throwing the spear, once you kill a soldier or general, you can also draw strength from the opponent, so that its power does not decrease but increases......
Of course, there is a limit to this ability, otherwise in the army, it is necessary to pierce the general formation.
At present, it seems that when Ma Chao throws a short gun, the short gun will turn into a wisp of white light at a very fast speed, and its additional effect is only effective in this state.
However, as long as it leaves the range of about 100 paces, the white mang will disappear, and although the remaining power of the short spear may not be lost, it will no longer have the effect of absorbing life force and enhancing its own power.
And it is completely different from Lu Bu and Sun Ce's path, Ma Chao's posture is brisk, and strange and changeable, shuttling among the enemy army in the blink of an eye, even if he is a big man of two feet, it is still impossible to catch.
Zhang Wei pinched the magic of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and wanted to command the "ghost pawn" to besiege (song) Ma Chao and drag over the timeliness of the Shenwei mode, but he couldn't do it at all!
This also makes Ma Chao like a god of death, harvesting the lives of the enemy in the midst of all the hosts!
is good at having many enemies and being trapped in the enemy formation, which is somewhat similar to Zhao Yun, but ...... Zhao Yun relied on the snake strength of the "Seven Probes Snake Strength" to carry out the unloading of the force with softness, even if he was under siege, it was difficult for ordinary attacks to break his defense, and it was easy to be a long-range weapon with biased strength, and he was almost immune.
And Ma Chao relied on maneuver and dexterity, shuttling among the ten thousand armies, and it was difficult to be locked, plus the powerful "flying spear" method to dominate.
When he was subduing the Qiang people, Ma Chao was like this, with fewer enemies and more enemies.
Because of Ma Chao's containment, the defensive line in the city was disrupted - it was precisely because his body was strange enough to enter and exit among the ten thousand armies without restriction that he alone could harass the defensive line at most of the juncture.
Otherwise, if it were Lu Bu, the lethality would be stronger, but the scope of influence would hardly be so large!
Under the harassment of Ma Chao, the Qiang powerhouses behind them grabbed the city wall, and then they further suppressed the arrow rain on the wall, causing the Qiang warriors behind to rush up with smaller losses.
……
At the same time, in the Jinling Jiangshan Pavilion, Bai Tuxuan came to Yu Ji and was talking about some things about the Heavenly Master's Dao.
As for the strength of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, whether it is open or investigated, it is already in the hands of the high-level generals of the front-line army, but many things are ...... For example, the generals of the "ghost pawns" only know their abilities in general, but they do not know what they are in.
"In fact, Poor Dao has always suspected that Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Tianshi, is the holder of the book of heaven "Volume 8: Worship the Gods" before the master, if you calculate the time, the year when Zhang Tianshi Immortal went was also when Zhang Lu and I apprenticed under the master, and before we started...... Senior Brother doesn't seem to have seen the master study any Taoist scriptures. Yu Ji guessed.
In Yu Ji's opinion, Zhang Lu's Taoism is not worth a damn, but Yu Ji still respects his grandfather "Zhang Tianshi" very much.
After all, that one directly added the word "Dao" to his name.
More than 60 years ago, Zhang Ling took his disciples into Shu and wiped out the legend of the evil cults of Bashu, which has always been the glory of Taoism.
"Speaking of which, it is reasonable that the 'ghost pawn' of the Heavenly Master Dao will have similarities with the 'Yellow Turban Force' of the Yellow Turban Army...... It's no wonder that Zhang Lu wants to find Huang Tianji! Bai Tu's tone was serious, but he didn't look too worried.
At the beginning, Nanhua Laoxian divided his understanding of "Volume 8 - Worship of God" into three volumes, which were taught to Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Lu's lineage, the "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra" passed down from Zhang Daoling, is also likely to be from "Volume 8: Worship God".
The so-called "ghost pawns" are similar to the "Yellow Turban Warriors", and they all need to use the manpower drawn from the "faithful" believers as a source of soldiers, so that they can be trained.
The difference is that Heavenly Master Ji is transformed from an evil queen who was reformed by Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling in Bashu at the beginning, and her ability is equivalent to the low-profile version of Huang Tianji, and the "ghost pawn" is only a "pawn", with strong strength, quick response when the sect is manipulated by sacrificial wine, and there is almost no threshold for commander, but it is not like the Yellow Turban Force, and can also command and even "synthesize" the Yellow Turban Army!
"Yes, once Zhang Lu gets Huang Tianji, as long as the doctrine is slightly modified and guided, the yellow scarf can be mass-produced, no, it is a Heavenly Master Force, and it will be really a little troublesome at that time......"
