Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 549 Celestial Master
The Qiang people's siege seemed chaotic. To put it simply, it was just rushing, wailing...

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 among the Qiang people, the same thing is that all kinds of "Qiang Ji" are basically fundamentally different from Cheng Ji.

The best thing about Cheng Ji is not that they live in a "city", but that they can extract civilian manpower to synthesize Ji-made soldiers!
In other words, the separation of the military and the civilians has been achieved, unlike all kinds of alien races, especially the nomadic, fishing and hunting aliens, who often directly "transfer" ordinary people into fighters...

"All the people are soldiers" sounds scary and difficult to fight, but it has the disadvantages of weak successors, annihilation in major disasters, and difficulty in growing the population. After all, the appetite will be greatly increased after "transfer".

There is a lack of producers, and consumption is also increasing... The pressure to survive can be imagined.

The long course of history has proven again and again that conscription and separation of the army from producers are symbols of higher productivity.

It is impossible to dominate forever by plundering. Whether it is plundering others or plundering nature, creation and production are the kingly way.

If you simply consider the frontal battlefield, "all the people are soldiers" is indeed very annoying.

Ordinary Ji-made soldiers require 20 manpower to synthesize, and if manpower is extracted normally, only 1 unit of manpower can be extracted per population per year.

But almost everyone of these alien races can change jobs...

When facing the Qiang people, it is better to stay at the pass. After all, the Qiang warriors mainly have to cooperate with "war horses" to fight, and the city wall is not a place where war horses can come up.

But the trouble is, under Ma Chao's command, these Qiang people are simply three points more brave than when they were under the command of their own family leader.

The Qiang people's fearless attack on the city really brought some trouble to Zhang Wei, especially... some Qiang people who were comparable to gilded warriors directly and spontaneously fought in front.

What's even more terrible is Ma Chao himself...

After entering the "divine power mode", neither the popular power on the city wall nor the interference force field gathered by Ji Zao's soldiers can affect the flight of the transcendent god general.

Ma Chao jumped directly onto the tall city wall. His size of more than three meters was not only eye-catching, but also a great deterrent to the surrounding Tianshi troops.

I saw Ma Chao's figure flickering again and again at critical moments, or connecting two throwing spears together, turning them into double-headed long spears for close combat, or throwing the throwing spears, or even... even being able to throw them out while beckoning. Throwing a spear is like a white glow recalling it in one's own hand!
Especially when throwing spears, once you kill Ji Zao's soldiers or generals, you can also draw strength from the opponent, so that its power will not decrease but increase...

Of course, this ability also has its limits, otherwise in the army, the general formation must be penetrated.

At present, it seems that when Ma Chao throws a short spear, the short spear will turn into a ray of white light and shoot out at an extremely fast speed. Its additional effects are only effective in this state.

However, as long as it leaves the range of about a hundred steps, the white light will disappear. By then, although the remaining power of the short spear may not be exhausted, it will no longer have the effect of absorbing vitality and enhancing its own power.

Moreover, unlike Lu Bu and Sun Ce's approach, Ma Chao's figure was brisk and strangely changeable. He shuttled among the enemy troops in the blink of an eye. Even though he was two feet tall, he was still unable to catch him.

Zhang Wei picked up the celestial master's formula and wanted to command the "ghost soldiers" to besiege (song) Ma Chao and delay the time limit of the Shenwei mode, but he couldn't do it at all!
This also makes Ma Chao like the god of death, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers among the thousands of troops!
He is somewhat similar to Zhao Yun in that he is good at defeating multiple enemies and being trapped in enemy formations, but... Zhao Yun relies on the snake energy of the "Seven Exploration Coiled Snake Energy" to use softness to overcome force. Even if he is surrounded, ordinary attacks can still be carried out. It is difficult to break his defense, and the long-range weapons that are easy to be biased are almost immune.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, relied on his dexterity to maneuver among the armies without being locked, and his powerful "flying gun" technique to rule the roost.

When he first conquered the Qiang people, Ma Chao used this method to defeat the many with a small number.

Because of Ma Chao's restraint, the city's defense line was disrupted - it was because of his strange movement skills that he could move in and out among thousands of troops without being restricted, so that he alone could harass most of the defense line. .

Otherwise, if it were Lu Bu, his lethality would be stronger, but the scope of his influence would hardly be as large!
Under Ma Chao's harassment, the Qiang warriors who were equivalent to gilt gold rushed to the city wall one after another, and then they further suppressed the arrow rain on the wall, causing the Qiang warriors behind to rush up with less loss.

……

At the same time, in Jinling Jiangshan Pavilion, Bai Tuxuan came to Yu Ji and was talking about some things about Tianshi Dao.

As for the strength of Tianshi Mansion, whether it is disclosed or investigated, it is already in the hands of high-level generals in the front-line army. However, for many things... such as "ghost soldiers", the generals only have a rough idea of ​​their abilities, but do not know It's inside.

"Actually, I have always suspected that Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Tianshi, was the holder of the heavenly book "Volume [-]: Worshiping the Gods" before his master. If we calculate the time, the year when Zhang Tianshi passed away was also the year when I and I Zhang Lu, when he was apprenticed to the master, and before we started... the senior brother seems to have never seen the master studying Taoist scriptures." Yu Ji guessed.

In Yu Ji's opinion, Zhang Lu's Taoism was not worth mentioning, but Yu Ji still respected his grandfather "Zhang Tianshi" very much.

After all, that person had the word "Tao" directly added to his name.

More than 60 years ago, Zhang Ling brought his disciples into Sichuan to destroy the legend of Bashu evil priests, which has always been the glory of Taoism.

"It makes sense that the 'ghost soldiers' of Tianshi Dao and the 'yellow scarf warriors' of the Yellow Turban Army will be similar... No wonder Zhang Lu wants to find Huang Tianji!" Bai Tu's His tone was serious, but he didn't look too worried.

At the beginning, Nanhua Old Immortal divided his understanding of "Volume [-]: Respecting God" into three volumes, and passed them on to Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Zhang Jiao respectively, and Zhang Lu's lineage, from Zhang Daoling, passed down the "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra" , it is also likely to come from "Volume [-]: Worshiping Gods".

The so-called "ghost soldiers" are similar to the "yellow scarf warriors" in that they can only be trained by using the manpower drawn from "devout" believers as a source of troops.

The difference is that Tianshi Ji was transformed from an evil girl who was inspired by Tianshi Zhang Daoling in Bashu. Her abilities are equivalent to the low-end version of Huang Tianji. The "ghost pawn" is just a "pawn". She is powerful and can be sacrificed in the teachings. He reacts quickly when controlling wine and has almost no command threshold, but unlike the Yellow Turban Warriors, he can also command and even "synthesize" the Yellow Turban Army!

"Yes, once Zhang Lu gets Huang Tianji's words, as long as he slightly changes the teachings and guides them, he can mass-produce the Yellow Turbans, no, the Celestial Masters, and it will be really troublesome..."
