Chapter 672: The Difficult Road to Advancement
The system prompt for the promotion of the military general did not make Liu Feng happy, but he became more anxious in his heart, and his face became more and more gloomy.
How difficult is the bottleneck of the 7th order, Liu Feng is the most touched, under his command, there are not a few historical figures in the 6th order, and even some have been for many years and have not been able to advance.
The reason why Bai Jian and Tai Shici were able to advance was that on the one hand, they were relatively early, and on the other hand, after a tragic battle on the battlefield, no one had ever advanced again. He Qi's advancement can be regarded as experiencing a martial saint tower, which has the nature of experimentation.
For Liu Feng, the difficulty of the promotion of the 7th-order generals is a major factor in his backwardness compared with other princes, and the accidental discovery of an unknown 7th-order talent is like picking up a big bargain, which is not at all like other princes, as long as the civil and military forces with a certain status under his command have the strength of the 7th order, although the strength is relatively weak, but it is also the 7th order, how many 6th-order peak generals can withstand the attack of the 7th-order generals, let alone turn defeat into victory.
The appearance of the two special buildings, Wusheng Pagoda and Meditation Pavilion, gave Liu Feng hope to catch up. But these two buildings have great flaws, one is that there is a limit to the number of times they can be used, and there is only a certain chance of advancing if they enter, which does not guarantee promotion, and there is also that the breakthrough after that is more difficult. Therefore, until now, Liu Feng has never realized his wish to mass-produce 7th-order generals.
Xu Changjie is a general from Yizhou, Liu Feng is very impressed, and he is the first group of people from Aoshan City to surrender, one of the three major military marquis. Among the so-called Yizhou "Double Ying and One Jie" or "Yizhou Three Heroes", his presence is the lowest. Compared with Wang Ying, who took the initiative to surrender, Xu Changjie was basically a soy sauce player in addition to his strength. If you put it in the present, even if it is not used as cannon fodder, it is not far off.
It can be said that his growth exceeded Liu Feng's expectations, and he grew up step by step through his own efforts. He is not a historical figure, nor does he have a complete lineage, let alone be focused on. It's just that when he was weak, he discovered this young man who seemed to have some potential, and then gave him some insignificant help, so he grew up all the way, and Qiu Ying, who was not more important than Liu Feng, grew up slowly.
That's why he later had the title of "Three Heroes of Yizhou", leaving the people who came out of Yizhou far behind.
At the beginning, Xu Changjie served as Sima in the infantry army like Wang Ying, and after Liu Feng took office in Yongning, he went to the navy again, and has been until now.
After the establishment of the Wusheng Tower, Liu Feng once asked Xu Changjie if he was willing to use the Wusheng Tower to advance. Because in his opinion, although Xu Changjie has a good growth rate, he has never had any bright spots, and the probability of his success in advancing is very low.
But when Xu Changjie knew that Wang Ying and Qiu Ying refused to use the Wusheng Tower, he also rejected Liu Feng's suggestion. It's not because of comparison, it's not for face, Liu Feng knows that he has his own self-esteem and is full of confidence in himself.
But how can it not be surprising that such a person with a very low sense of existence is advancing before a group of historical figures?
In addition to the surprise, there is a strong worry, what has happened to make this always low-key person change dramatically in just half a day?
Liu Feng's gaze looked into the distance, which was the direction of Zhangdu Lake. There was a fog there, and I didn't know the other side, but it was the place where the naval armies of the two sides fought a decisive battle.
……
Lying down and not being able to afford it - this is what Xu Changjie wants to do the most. In fact, he didn't know how he persevered, and he didn't even have the strength to rejoice in his long-awaited advancement.
Two hours ago, they had lost more than half of their lives and encountered a complete medium-sized building ship of the Jiangxia Army, and they had no choice but to face it head-on. Facts have also proved that Zhou Yu spent ten years training the combat effectiveness of the naval army is absolutely strong, especially a large part of the war more than once, and even some of them have experienced the last Jiangxia water battle, with the advantage of the battleship, Xu Changjie commanded everyone to block the enemy on the deck, and never let the enemy attack the battleship.
Jiangxia's navy is twice as good as its own, even if it can't kill them all, but it is impossible for them to fight all, and if they can do this under the attack commanded by a 7th-order general, Xu Changjie is no longer inferior to any historical celebrity.
Without the advantage of crushing, the bow and arrow finally came in handy, because the enemy and the enemy were already in a clear situation. Even though you can't see anything when you shoot a bow and arrow, it always works as long as you shoot at the source of the sound.
The battle was fierce, in less than half an hour, the 7th-order generals of the Jiangxia Navy seemed to sense that Xu Changjie's troops were insufficient, and under an order, the whole army finally pressed up, which greatly increased the pressure on Xu Changjie, and he had no choice but to tighten the defense line step by step, put the enemy into the building ship, rely on the advantages of building defense, and fight with a smaller force to finally withstand the enemy's attack.
Misfortune is not a one-way street, that's what it says, just when the two sides fought to a critical point, another battleship panicked in a hurry and collided directly, making the already somewhat damaged battleship even worse.
Xu Changjie was lucky because of this dense fog.
Based on the momentum of the impact, the commanders of both sides judged that this was a medium-sized ship, because they didn't know who was coming, and the two sides involuntarily strengthened their attacks, just to solve each other before the arrival of this uninvited guest.
Some anxious 7th-order generals finally couldn't help it, and personally led people to charge, instantly punching the defense line arranged by Xu Changjie, so that Xu Changjie, who already had some intention of counterattacking, changed his deployment again.
Compared with ordinary personnel, the strength of the 7th-order generals is too strong, even if it is an average 7th-order military general. In a short period of time, the 6th-order deputy general under Xu Changjie was beheaded because of blocking.
But at this time, Xu Changjie once again stabilized the defensive line, and led more than 100 of his most elite people to surround this 7th-order military general who had escaped from the protection of the soldiers.
The battle is tragic, the unique skills of the 7th-order generals are not something that anyone can bear, just this blow will make Xu Changjie's personal guards lose more than half, if it weren't for someone desperately blocking in front of him, it would be him who died first.
In the end, relying on the successive deaths of the guards, Xu Changjie finally got an excellent opportunity to kill the 7th-order military general with one blow.
The Lord will die, the enemy is instantly chaotic, although some of the guards are still fearless and want to kill and take revenge, but more people have already collapsed, and some people have turned around and fled directly.
After only a slight pursuit, Xu Changjie had to stop and put on a defensive formation again.
The defeated soldiers and horses have been taken over by new enemy generals, and they have once again rushed back.
Xu Changjie was aggrieved by the 7th-order generals who died in his hands before, if he could calm down a little longer, by this time, no matter who came came, the worst result would be defeat and retreat.
But there are no ifs in war......
Facing a 7th-order general again, and there were less than a thousand soldiers under his command, Xu Changjie felt hopeless.
Fortunately, the new 7th-order military general was unintentionally bumped into during the escape after the defeat, and there were not many remnants under his command, plus the hundreds gathered, there were only more than a thousand people.
Originally, he was not going to come to this troubled water, but after being beaten by the Jiangdong Army before, he was almost frightened. But after learning the details from the mouth of the defeated army, he changed his mind and killed him.
If you can annihilate a medium-sized building ship of the Jiangdong Army here, not only avenge your previous colleagues, but also make another contribution, atonement is inevitable, and promotion is also expected.
As for the enemy, how could he stop him, a 7th-order general, who had been almost completely wiped out before he saw it.
At this time, he forgot that he was also a group of remnants.
With the determination to die, Xu Changjie gathered all the remaining hundreds of soldiers and horses, including sailors, to form a formation and directly kill the enemy in the fog on the opposite side.
At this time, he didn't know that the enemy in front of him was also a group of remnants.
The skirmishers were the first to be killed, and soon the "main forces" rushed together.
Under Xu Changjie's command, there was only one 6th-order deputy general left, and the guards were also killed and wounded, he had no choice, on this small ship, he could only bravely intercept the 7th-order enemy general.
The gap is still huge, and there are still some guards who are desperate to save him, Xu Changjie persevered again, although there are almost no intact places on his body, he still stops the enemy and gives his soldiers a chance to kill and injure the enemy.
The spear in his hand became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't keep up with the enemy's moves, he was so tired that he even wanted to drop the spear and die, but he finally persevered.
When the enemy's long knife slashed again, he felt that he could no longer stop it. But at this moment, a mysterious feeling came, and the spear in his hand was subconsciously swung out, and even he didn't understand it very well, only remembering his eyes covered with blood and sweat, and seeing the cruel smile of the frozen enemy general.
A single blow pierces the armor of the enemy general, pierces through the chest, and kills a Tier 7 general again.
Then, amid the wild shouts of "the enemy general is dead", more and more enemy troops dropped their weapons and turned to flee, and were defeated again.
"Advanced." Xu Changjie knew in his heart, but at this time, he didn't make any moves, watching the rout disappear in the thick fog, holding his spear, standing still.
It's not that I don't want to make a move, it's just that I can't even speak.
He had advanced to the 7th level, but the injuries he suffered would not get any better because of this.
