Chapter 84: Huangfu Song’s Dark History
The chariot, which was eliminated during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, once again appeared on the battlefield, truly declaring to the world what the true king of the battlefield is.
The frontal charge was truly unparalleled in the world, and large-scale cavalry corps were crushed head-on.
"No way, old man , you can even turn the tables?" Guo Hao said with a slightly annoyed look.
Huangfu Song's record of defeating the Xiliang Legion head-on was so shocking. They had 50,000 elite troops.
"Haha, do you know why chariots were eliminated?" Huangfu Song answered the question irrelevantly.
"Because the chariots are too heavy and the battle terrain is too demanding, the cavalry only needs a wave of cavalry to cause the chariot army to collapse."
"But the prerequisite for cavalry is speed. Infantry on horseback like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are nothing but cavalry."
"If it were Fengxian's Bingzhou Wolf Riders, they would never be dispersed by the chariots."
Lu Bu was flattered to be suddenly mentioned. Huangfu Song's performance really amazed him. He was confident that he was unrivaled in the world and no one in the audience could be his opponent in a one-on-one fight.
But there was really no way to deal with a fierce man like Huangfu Song. Even Lu Bu felt that he might not be able to defeat the people from Liangzhou even with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"But they are indeed the group with the highest level of competition so far. I didn't expect Zhong Ying to have such a skill. I really underestimated him."
"The 137th match, Lord Dong, the governor of Hedong, fights against the Left Cavalry General. The Left Cavalry General wins!"
"The 138th match, Jiangdong Zhang Su..."
"They are actually two strange people?" Huangfu Song interrupted the soldier who was announcing the event and became interested.
Those who can sign up for the selection of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan must have at least one first-rate military commander.
"Let two people come together. I will test their skills."
Huangfu Song took a look at Guo Hao and his interest grew. Zhang Su and Guo Ye were the few capable alien players he had seen so far.
Before, the players behind generals like Qin Qiong and Wang Yanzhang never appeared on the field, and Huangfu Song thought they were all talented and righteous people from the people.
Thinking of Guo Hao and Li Changsheng, Huangfu Song was looking forward to their performance.
"This is against the rules, isn't it?" Wang Yun, who had been acting as a wooden man, appeared.
Wang Yun didn't want to speak, but Guo Ye and Zhang Su were both talented people he had found, and he knew their abilities.
Two against one Huangfu Song. If Huangfu Song was a little more serious, he could easily send the two of them on their way.
He specially arranged a battle schedule so that the two men would avoid Huangfu Song, but he didn't expect that Huangfu Song suddenly became interested.
"It's okay, Lord Wang. Mr. Huangfu will not lose." Guo Hao didn't understand the implication of Wang Yun's words at all. He thought that Wang Yun was worried that Huangfu Song would fail.
He couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. This pure civil official was too disappointing. After watching the game for a whole day, he still couldn't tell that Huangfu Song was currently the big devil. There was no one who could defeat Huangfu Song head-on.
As he spoke, Guo Hao thought of Zhang Jiao, the only person who could suppress Huangfu Song in a battle against a large army. However, that was not done by command, but entirely by magic and faith, so he really could not be used as a reference.
"Haha, Lord Wang is right. It is better to follow the rules." Huangfu Song understood the elegant meaning from the sound of the strings. He changed the subject lightly and sat down silently.
As a fence-sitter with a lot of political sensitivity, he understood what Wang Yun meant. Not wanting to offend Wang Yun, he simply gave up the little interest in his heart.
He was a bit tired anyway, and it was the same when he watched Zhu Jun and the others’ game.
"The 138th match, Zhang Su from Jiangdong versus the Right Cavalry General."
Zhang Su's performance was average. His heavy infantry and archery corps defended the city and lasted for a whole year in the illusion before being defeated by Zhu Jun.
The resilience he displayed throughout the whole process was truly extraordinary. After defeating the illusion, Zhu Jun sat in his seat feeling sick. He was truly too resilient.
Guo Hao could only see that Zhang Su was probably taking the route of intensive cultivation, focusing on the physical body, and also had a legion talent.
He should be a player who, like him, has reached the first-class level through shortcuts. As for the others, we can tell from their facial features that they are very righteous people.
It was precisely because of Zhang Su's talent that Zhu Jun had such a hard time fighting. No matter what kind of burst Zhu Jun launched, he could not defeat the will of the soldiers defending the city.
"It should be a talent for adaptability. He is indeed a good young man." Huangfu Song looked at Zhang Su with interest.
Zhang Su’s performance made him feel itchy, not because of anything else, but because he felt that his dark history could be saved.
At that time, he had a sudden idea and reversed the attributes of the suicide corps of Rui Shi, which had no retreat and could only advance, with maximum attack points and zero defense and survival.
He created a type of soldier that maxed out defense and survival points - the Guard. Its full name is Huangfu Guard, and it is a type of soldier he created himself.
However, the training was too difficult and had too many requirements. The prerequisite was that one had to be able to wear heavy armor and move freely. Over the years, he had only recruited dozens of them as his personal guards.
The failure to promote it on a large scale is an indelible regret in his heart. The template he borrowed from, Rui Shi, killed the Qiang people in Liangzhou in those days, and killed so many heads that even some old Qiang people would tremble when they saw Rui Shi's special sword.
The guards he deduced by reverse engineering couldn't even make a name for himself. First of all, Emperor Liu Hong withheld military funds and had no money to train guards. Also, if the guards wanted to have offensive capabilities, they had to develop the attributes of the second legion, which made it even more difficult. It could be said that no one except him could train them at present.
Such a thing with a strong personal flavor could not survive in the general environment of the Han Dynasty. Even the permanent military forces of the Han Dynasty, such as the Beigong Five Schools, were changed to more than a dozen versions. Basically, a new version was changed every time a leader was replaced.
When Huangfu Song was idle, the Huangfu Guards, a type of soldier that was difficult to train and cost a lot of money, were not popular at all and were directly expelled from the ranks of permanent troops.
The mainstream type of soldiers are the Rui Shi, who only need a sword and can be thrown onto the battlefield to kill indiscriminately. After all, the military budget is so limited, and if the soldiers need to be both highly combat-effective and cheap, who else can they choose except the Rui Shi?
Now the appearance of Zhang Su has given him hope. Zhang Su's talent can replace the shield guard's first talent, adaptation. Then he only needs to directly point out legion talents such as strength or blunt attack, and the guard will be formed directly.
"Go and tell this strange man to come to my house when he has time!" Huangfu Song randomly found a guard and told him a few words. He really wanted to pass the message on.
"The 139th match, Liaodong Guo Ye vs. Lu Shangshu"
The three generals under Guo Ye all performed very well, Yang Shihou, Shi Siming, and Hou Junji, but they seemed to be extremely discordant with each other, and even held each other back. If Guo Ye had not been on the field, the three might have fought each other.
The last three people persisted under Lu Zhi for more than three months before they were finally completely wiped out by Lu Zhi.
Guo Hao scratched his head. Although he was not very familiar with the three historical figures, he could tell at a glance that the three generals under Guo Ye were not good people and had rebellious minds.
Guo Hao couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence for this cousin of his. All of his subordinates are ambitious generals, so the psychological pressure must be great.
