266, Gold Devouring Beast (ask for subscription)
Chu He was indeed surprised.
Not long ago, the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King also showed an extremely fierce style, and when the Changding army surrounded the mountain peak stone pillar, he launched several attacks on the Changding army with thousands of scorpion-tailed tigers.
Changding military victory is at the peak of military appearance, high-end combat power is strong, with the blessing of military strength and courage, the warrior armor is sharp, with extremely terrifying long-range attack power, and the eight-bull armor-piercing crossbow is a five-grade scorpion tail winged tiger can be shot.
The Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger is an extremely strong individual quality, equivalent to the lineup of all four-rank martial arts, with flying advantages, and obvious shortcomings, lack of long-range attack power, unable to form a military formation to fight.
Therefore, the two sides were evenly matched, each with casualties, and neither took advantage of it.
Of course, when it comes to war potential, the Changding Army is definitely far superior to the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger clan, and if it continues to be consumed, it will definitely be the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger who will take the lead in exterminating the clan.
Chu He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the scorpion tail winged the tiger king and admitted defeat.
Chu He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's also a good thing that the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King wants to negotiate, if it really forces the other party, thousands of four-rank Scorpion Tail Winged Tigers will go crazy, which can bring devastating casualties to the Changding Army." ”
Although the Changding army now has the upper hand, when it comes to the real casualties, it is the Changding army that has suffered heavier losses, which have been converted into more than 2,000 people.
This is not an ordinary soldier and a citizen during the Great War with the Yellow Turban Army, but a hundred refined elite soldiers who have been trained after three years of rigorous training, cultivated the Golden Bell Jar, and spent a lot of materials to cultivate.
The Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger was only taken down about a thousand, and only five or six hundred were killed in the battle.
In fact, the battle between Chang Dingjun and the Scorpion-tailed Tiger has continued until now, and the first goal has been achieved.
It's just that Chu He and the others saw that the losses of the Changding army were too heavy, and they were unwilling to withdraw from the Abyss World like this, and they planned to use the Abyss World as a rear base camp to operate, so they never withdrew from the Abyss World.
In such a situation, it is a good choice to negotiate with the Scorpiontail Winged Tiger Clan.
The logistics department in charge of Chu Qianzhong has become the ordnance department and weapons research institute of the Changding Army, which is responsible for manufacturing all kinds of armor and weapons, and the supply of rice, grain, money and silver is in Chu Quan's hands.
Although the Changding Army suffered a lot of casualties in this large-scale combat training with the help of the Abyss World, it has to be said that it has achieved excellent results, and the coordination of various arms and the arrangement and use of military formations are by no means something that can be trained by ordinary training exercises.
And Chu Qianzhong also took advantage of this training to test the production capacity of the Ordnance Department, and various new weapons were also brought to the battlefield one by one to test their practicability.
Among the new weapons, the most obvious effect is the steel ring giant net, and the capture arrow with a steel chain, so that ordinary soldiers have the ability to capture the scorpion-tailed tiger.
In particular, the capture arrow is inspired by the original Baniu armor-piercing crossbow using steel core hemp rope to shoot at the city wall of Fenglai County, the arrow is a barbed arrow, the arrow is hollow, contains anesthetic, and the end is tied with a tough steel wire chain.
Often several arrows are shot at the scorpion-tailed tiger, which can firmly hook the scorpion-tailed tiger and cannot escape, and after the arrow anesthetic, the scorpion-tailed tiger can be taken down.
Although this will bring a lot of injuries to the scorpion-tailed tiger, with the physique of the fourth-grade scorpion-tailed tiger, as long as it is treated, it can be healed quickly.
The importance and role of Chu Qianzhong is undoubted, Chu He knows many steelmaking methods, but he lacks practical operation, and in the end he has to rely on Chu Qianzhong to build it.
Moreover, Chu Qianzhong can also combine the situation of this world to create better and stronger steel, such as superalloy, which is improved on the basis of silicon-manganese alloy, and even Chu He didn't know how to refine it before.
Moreover, Chu Qianzhong also brought a lot of useful talents to the Changding Army.
Although the Demon Determination Army did not really join the Standing Army, it cannot be denied that they played an extremely important role in the growth of the Standing Army.
Many former generals of the Dingding Demon Army, who served as military advisers to the Standing Army, pointed out many key points and precautions of the war, not to mention other alchemy, training military doctors, helping to build city walls, refining runes to improve the power of weapons such as the Eight Ox Armor-Piercing Crossbow.
Because of this, Chu Qianzhong is definitely a high and powerful person now, in addition to Chu He, the marshal, his status in the Changding Army is definitely among the top five, on a par with Jiang Wei, Chu Wu, Chu Quan, etc.
As the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, Chu He attaches so much importance to Chu Qianzhong, and hands over the most important ordnance department to him, and Chu Qianzhong is also extremely loyal to Chu He.
Seeing Chu He say this, Chu Qianzhong frowned slightly, and reminded: "Chu Shuai, I'm afraid the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King can't be trusted, this demon beast has extremely high intelligence, and it can't be looked at from the eyes of ordinary demon beasts, and I am afraid that it will be ill-intentioned to ask for negotiations with Chu Shuai this time." ”
As one of the most important old men in the Chang Ding Army, Chu Qianzhong was definitely qualified to put forward his own opinions in front of Chu He.
"Now that the Scorpion-tailed Tiger King has been suppressed by us in his lair, he has to give in. If we wait for our army to retreat, this Scorpion-tailed Tiger King will transfer the young Scorpion-tailed Tiger, with the strength and flight advantage of the adult Scorpion-tailed Tiger, plus the size of the Abyss World, we are afraid that we will be helpless. ”
Chu He frowned slightly and said, "What do General Long and General Huang think?"
A cold light flashed in Chu Qianzhong's eyes: "General Long and they feel that it is not impossible to negotiate with the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King, but Xia Guan feels that instead of negotiating with the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King, it is better to take the opportunity to lure him out, combine the power of the three war gods, and kill him!"
"Once the Scorpiontail Tiger is not led by the Scorpiontail Tiger King, there is nothing to worry about, we can divide and attack it, completely solve the scourge, and at the same time get a large number of Scorpiontail Tiger mounts. ”
Chu Qianzhong claimed to be an official because he really had an official position.
The minister of the Ordnance Department of the Changding Army, positioned as equivalent to the Great Sima of the Shu State, temporarily belongs to the five-rank official position in the Changding Army, and is on a level with Jiang Wei, and is also the highest official rank under the Chu River of the Changding Army.
Of course, this official position was set up by Chu He himself, which also shows that the Changding Army has been completely separated from the Shu State, and such a private official position is the same as plotting rebellion.
Chu He couldn't help but groan, for him, if he wanted to use the Abyss World as a rear base camp, the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger was indeed an unstable factor.
Once the overlord race of this abyssal world is eradicated, the entire abyssal world will have no power to resist the rule of the Standing Army.
Moreover, if the Scorpion-tailed Tiger is eradicated, a large number of Scorpion-tailed Tiger mounts can definitely be obtained, not to mention a thousand air cavalry, it is possible to have three thousand five thousand.
He pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Since the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger King has extremely high intelligence, he naturally will not put himself in danger, and it will not be easy to take it down. ”
"Even if we can really kill the Scorpion-tailed Tiger King and catch enough Scorpion-tailed Tigers, this is a desperate practice after all, and it won't be of much benefit to our future development. ”
He paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Our Changding army is short of troops, even if we get enough Scorpion-tailed Winged Tigers in a short period of time, we can't come up with the corresponding manpower to form the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger Air Cavalry. ”
To form the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry, it is not something that ordinary soldiers can do, and it must be at least the elite of the triple golden bell jar to do it.
If you really fight with the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger, it will definitely make the strength of the Changding Army suffer a big loss, and if you miss this best period of development, I am afraid that the Shu Army or the Yellow Turban Army will be killed before the air cavalry grows.
Chu Qianzhong couldn't help but be a little disappointed, in his opinion, as long as he took down the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger and obtained the huge resources of the Abyss World, the Changding Army could form a force of 3,000 air cavalry in two years at the shortest, and such a powerful air cavalry would definitely be invincible, helping Chu He to open up territory and participate in the battle for Jiangshan and Sheji faster.
But since Chu He had such concerns, Chu Qianzhong didn't say anything more: "What does Chu Shuai mean is to decide to make peace with the Scorpion-tailed Tiger King?"
Chu He smiled: "It's too early to say, let's see what the Scorpion-tailed Tiger King thinks." ”
"Anyway, it's the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger who is soft, and we don't need to make a decision in a hurry, let's hang it for a while, and then I'll talk about it when I solve the dinosaur in the crypt. ”
"Dire beasts?" Chu Qianzhong asked a little strangely.
He inquired about the soldiers and horses outside, and only then did he know that Chu He had entered this crypt, but he didn't know what was in this crypt, and it was worth Chu He to come in person.
Chu He smiled and pointed to the corpses of the dinosaurs piled up on the cave wall: "It's this guy, although the grade is only four grades, but after devouring the silver dragon dendrobium, the protection power is quite amazing, I'm afraid it can be compared with the five-grade demon beasts." ”
Saying that, he couldn't help but say with some resentment: "This silver dragon dendrobium is a really good thing, it can refine pills, and it has a great effect on the cultivation of the fourfold golden bell jar, and I don't know how much it has been ruined by the dinosaurs." ”
"Extremely effective for the quadruple golden bell jar?"
Chu Qianzhong couldn't help but be surprised, and looked towards the cave wall by the light of the torch, and then his face changed suddenly, and he said in a lost voice: "This is not a dinosaur!
At this time, it was Chu He's turn to be surprised, and he didn't know why Chu Qianzhong was so shocked.
The name of this dinosaur was still said by the soldiers of the Qianyuan Guard, and Chu He had never seen any dinosaur before.
The Qianyuan Guard, who was responsible for detecting the situation in the crypt, found that these dinosaurs were huge in size and had extremely amazing defensive power, even their armor-piercing arrows were difficult to hurt each other, and even Chu Heizi, the general, was not an opponent of the dinosaurs, so he had to ask for the crypt that Chu River had only entered.
Although the eye of heaven can spy on the target's situation, when it comes to the current realm of Chu He, it is a matter of great deal to deal with the four-rank demon beast.
The protective power of these dinosaur beasts is comparable to that of a five-grade demon beast, and under the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City, that is what it is, and there is no need for the Heavenly Eye to detect its situation at all.
There is a limit to the number of times the eye of the sky, and now it is only fifty times a day, and there will be no situation where cats and dogs have to use the eye of the sky to spy on it.
It's like people in the afterlife of the earth, calculating the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, and knowing the answer after a little thought, even if they have a mobile phone with them, they won't use the calculator inside to calculate whether it's right or not.
Chu He had heard the name of the Gold Devouring Beast, on the earth, the ancient people called it a national treasure that could only sell cuteness, but these dinosaur beasts were not pandas no matter how they looked at them, although they were somewhat similar in appearance, they could also stand up like a bear and be good at slapping enemies with their front paws.
The panda is a bear not a cat, and under the fat and cute appearance, it has quite terrifying force, but compared to this crypt dinosaur, it is not worth mentioning.
"Minister Chu, do you know these demon beasts?
Chu He asked a little suspiciously.
The living dinosaurs are now hiding in caves, and the eye of heaven cannot detect the situation of dead corpses.
Chu Qianzhong shook his head, walked to the corpses of the dinosaurs with a solemn face, raised the torch and examined them carefully, and finally exhaled a long breath: "It's a gold devouring beast, not a dinosaur beast!"
He saw Chu He's somewhat puzzled expression, and then explained: "The Dire Beast is very similar to the Gold Devouring Beast, but the biggest difference is that there is a pale golden spot on the lower jaw and throat of the Gold Devouring Beast!"
He raised the head of the corpse of the gold-devouring beast slightly, and sure enough, there was a palm-sized golden spot: "If it weren't for the demon clan vanguard led by more than a dozen gold-devouring beasts we encountered at the Demon Gate Pass, the lower officials wouldn't know the difference between gold-devouring beasts and dinosaurs. ”
Chu He couldn't help but ask, "Listening to Minister Chu's meaning, what's so special about these gold-devouring beasts?"
Chu Qianzhong's expression fell into remembrance, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Xia Guan is indeed deeply impressed by this gold-devouring beast. ”
"At the beginning, the vanguard composed of more than a dozen gold-devouring beasts directly launched an impact on our 100,000-strong army, greatly disrupting our military formation and bringing us thousands of casualties. ”
In the end, it was Lang Shuai who personally took action to solve them. ”
Chu He couldn't help but be surprised: "A dozen gold-devouring beasts can bring thousands of casualties to the demon army?"
There is no doubt about the strength of the Demon Army, even if the elite died in the battle of the Demon Gate Pass, but the remaining soldiers are not much worse than the Qianyuan Guard.
Not to mention the Demon Army in its heyday, even if it is of such quality as a remnant soldier, a single dozen or so four-grade demon beasts will definitely not be able to bring thousands of casualties to the Demon Army.
Chu Qianzhong shook his head: "The grade of the Gold Devouring Beasts is not high, they are only fourth-grade demon beasts, but they have a rather terrifying ability, Gold Devouring!"
"The Gold Eater can constantly devour various ores to increase the strength and size of its body. It is said that the largest gold-devouring beast can even reach 200,000 catties, and it has the protective power of a seven-rank god of war!"
"The Gold Devouring Beasts we encountered at the beginning, each weighing more than 100,000 catties, was simply a Dark Iron Giant Beast, and it was unrivaled in the rampaging army, and even the Six-Rank Great Masters could hardly hurt them. ”
As he spoke, Chu Qianzhong's eyes couldn't help but show a look of fear and fear: "Lang Shuai saw the ferocity of the gold devouring beasts, so he had to leave the formation and take hundreds of guards to deal with them. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that Lang Shuai had a five-rank divine weapon in his hand, and he was a seventh-grade war god realm, I am afraid that he would not be able to deal with these gold-devouring beasts!, but the demon clan army took the opportunity to kill from the demon gate, and I determined that the demon army's formation was disturbed by the gold-devouring beasts......"
Chu Qianzhong let out a long sigh, but he didn't continue.
