On the battlefield of Xiangling Road, the allied forces roamed around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Returning to Xiangling Road, it is obvious that the popularity of this place has dropped significantly, which is in stark contrast to the lively scene during the last round of attacks by the princes' camp.

Of course, there are reasons for the change of offensive and defensive forces, but the deep-seated reason is that the attack and defense of the last round of Xiangling Dao were too tragic, which consumed a lot of strength of the two camps. A total of five proposals have been passed in this round, the number of faction confrontation points has increased, and players participating in the war have more opportunities to choose, and it is difficult for Xiangling Dao to regain its former popularity.

What's more, it is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

There are almost no secrets in the group activities in the game, and the task of [Guarding Xiangling Road] is to report to the deer leader, and everyone knows it. It is also well known that the person who submitted the report has a combat merit bonus for fighting within the scope of the proposal. Knowing that the Zhulu Army is here, many players in Dong Zhuo's camp have avoided this area, and they can't afford to hide if they can't be provoked.

No one wants to be continuously bombarded by the Legion Technique.

Judging by the reactions of players who have tried it, the feeling of being abused by the Legion is not wonderful at all.

The five camps confronted the battlefield, and on the side of Dong Zhuo's camp, the registration to participate in the confrontation in Xiangling Dao ended at the latest. That is to say, some players are a little slower, and they didn't grab the opportunity to sign up for the other four confrontation missions, so they had to come to Xiangling Road, and individual players who didn't receive the task naturally came to Xiangling Road.

A variety of factors work together to cause the scenery of Xiangling Road to be lost.

The Chase Deer coalition soon felt the bleak atmosphere of the battlefield.

After wandering for most of the day, I didn't encounter many enemies.

Compared with the busyness and hardship of the continuous war some time ago, it is very deserted now.

Xu Shu discussed with the two army commanders and decided to change his tactics, no longer looking for people aimlessly, but waiting for the rabbit. Find an area where it is easy to quickly approach multiple system strongholds, and cast a large number of players to establish a communication network, monitor large areas in the vicinity, find targets, and then notify troops to pass.

In this way, the combat units will not only be prevented from spending their energy on unnecessary travel and travel, but will also be able to give full play to the mobile advantages of the coalition forces.

After the adjustment, the combat efficiency of the allied forces has been significantly improved.

When he was resting and waiting, Gan Ning came to Xu Shu's side.

"Yuan Zhi, it's really boring to come out this time."

The lord is not here, and now there is no combat mission in his body, Gan Ning is a lot more casual in front of Xu Shu, and calls Xu Shu the word. He often looked for Xu Shu before joining the Zhulu Leader, and the two were very familiar with each other, and their personal relationship was quite good.

Xu Shu was sitting under a tree, holding a book of war.

Xu Shu smiled, put down the scroll in his hand gently, and said, "It's expected." ”

"As expected, you're not in a hurry at all......"

Xu Shu smiled and said leisurely: "It's useless to be in a hurry, so don't be in a hurry." ”

It feels like the two of them are not on the same channel at all, and when the frightened wind meets Slow Langzhong, Gan Ning can't help it. Gan Ning came here this time because he was bored, and he wanted to ask Xu Shu if he had any other plans, such as taking the troops out of Xiangling Road to go around other battlefields, but seeing Xu Shu's calm appearance, Gan Ning knew that there was no play.

Gan Ning is still unwilling.

"Yuan Zhi, there is no battle without feats, and our Zhulu Collar is still ranked 4th so far, failing to surpass the Wooden Horn Collar. The few warriors in charge of liaison with the team told me that the Wooden Horn Leader had just recruited 1,500 hoplites, and it seemed that they were determined to compete with us......"

"I know."

"If you know, why don't you take us out? How can the deer collar be behind the wooden horn collar! ”

Xu Shu's smile darkened, and he sighed: "Xingba, the last battle was so fierce, you know how big the casualties of our army were." Only more than 500 people survived in your first battalion, and in addition to the Flying Army and the Rock Battalion, many of them were damaged, and although the two major armies were supplemented with some heavy infantry soldiers, we still have more than 1,000 soldiers who need to recuperate and cannot fight. I know you're in a hurry, even if there is a big operation, you have to let the injured soldiers recover, right? ”

"I see, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"How did I know someone was so breathless?"

Gan Ning scratched her scalp, a little embarrassed.

The first battalion is responsible for the perimeter defense and the protection of long-range troops, and the battle is the hardest, and Gan Ning feels the most deeply about the tragedy of the last battle. Those who were assigned to the first battalion were all recruited from the theater and were not descendants of the troops, but the pressure and tests on the battlefield of the first battalion would not be adulterated at all, and the Zhulu army could also discover problems in time and improve their own tactics through the combat experience of the first battalion.

Xu Shu is thoughtful and very serious.

Pre-war planning, post-war summarization, in the deer army is the norm.

"Xingba, tell me about the problem of melee combat in the camp first."

Although there were objective reasons for falling into a heavy siege, the Xiandeng battalion led by Gan Ning temporarily suffered such heavy casualties, and Xu Shu still had palpitations. This time, the first to use the temporary troops, not to chase the deer, but most of the time after all, they have to rely on the deer chasers to fight, and the painful experience of the first camp is quite valuable for reference. Xu Shu was the commander of the Zhulu Army, and when he saw the tragic situation of the first camp, he felt very deeply in his heart.

Gan Ning suddenly became serious.

"The damage to the first den is so badly because of the poor melee combat, I think the disadvantage is in the distance."

Xu Shu's eyes flashed: "The disadvantage is remote? ”

"That's right."

Gan Ning said categorically: "On the surface, our Rock Battalion is all fighting as archers, training with battles, and the overall archery ability of the troops has been greatly improved, and there are also several sharpshooters from Pu Tong and them, which seem to have achieved remarkable results, but in fact, the overall combat strength of our army's Rock Battalion is still not able to catch up with the real archer troops." ”

Xu Shu nodded: "It's not easy to train so many qualified archers, the Rock Battalion is just a temporary cameo, and compared with the real archer troops, there are indeed many inferiors." ”

There are several important factors to measure the strength of an archer force: power, range, and accuracy.

The Rock Battalion enjoys many bonuses in the territory, and its overall strength is a cut stronger than that of ordinary lord troops, and when it is pulled out one by one, it feels that all of them are not bad, but the army values the whole the most, no matter how strong the individual ability is, it cannot be twisted into a rope, and the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be too high.

For the Rock Camp, the difference in the level of archery is too great, which is the biggest problem affecting the whole.

The strongest has multiple marksmen, and the weakest ones are not even at the level of qualified archers, uneven, disparity in strength, and when it appears as a whole, it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another.

Think about it, too, the Rock Battalion is a regular army that leads the deer, and in the territorial army system, the Rock Battalion has a wide range of operations. In addition to going to the battlefield in wartime, you also have to bear a series of responsibilities such as security, patrol, escort, and rescue in peacetime.

Job requirements determine that the skills of the Rock Battalion are many and varied, and the Rock Battalion will not be a professional archer unit.

The tactical tactics of the professional archer troops are not something that the Rock Battalion can skillfully use.

For example, when a melee unit needs long-range support from an archer unit, the support range of the Rock Battalion is often thirty paces away from its own troops, and for fear of unnecessary accidental injury, professional archer units have the ability to shorten this distance to less than fifteen paces, and the most elite archer troops can even do it within a few steps.

To put it mildly, the all-archer lineup of the Rock Battalion is nothing short of what it seems.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Shu, Gan Ning and Wang Ping were in the formation, and the attack corps had legion skills, Xu Shu would not dare to let the Panshi Battalion train like this. Under normal circumstances, the Chase Army has the ability to quickly resolve battles with legion skills, but once it encounters a tough battle like the one in the front, the Rock Pseudo-Archer force appears in its original form.

Xu Shu sighed: "If the Rock Battalion could better support you, the losses of the first camp would not be so heavy. ”

Gan Ning was very open-minded: "They are not real archer troops, they have done their best. The task of the Rock Battalion is heavy, it is impossible to specialize in the archery, and if the problem of insufficient suppression power is not solved, it will be enough to choke ...... in the future."

Long-range suppression is not enough, and the pressure on melee troops is great.

"We do need to increase our ranged capabilities, but don't worry, it's just happening."

"Huh?"

Gan Ning inquired with his eyes.

Xu Shu smiled indifferently: "The latest news, we have mastered the crossbow making technique." ”

"That's good news!"

The crossbow is powerful, simple to operate, and relatively easy to master, unlike archers, who need to be tempered a lot, and crossbowman troops are easier to form. In addition, the crossbow flat fire characteristic can snipe the enemy head-on, and the bow and arrow projectile can complement each other, if the crossbow is equipped with troops, the long-range strike ability of the deer army will be substantially improved.

"Don't be too happy yet, crossbows can only be made in the equipment center, the output is low, and the equipment of the troops is slow."

"It's okay if the output is low, it's going to be more slowly, Yuan Benchu has provided us with technology?"

During the Yizhou Rebellion, the three lieutenants of Xiyuan led their troops to quell the rebellion, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Cao Cao relied on surprise attacks to make great achievements, Yuan Shao was eager to establish a meritorious career, and knew that the Zhulu army could march quickly in the mountains, so he sent someone to ask for help from the Zhulu leader. Yu Buzhi happily obeyed his fate and helped Yuan Shao bypass the rebel defense line to attack behind the enemy, and made a great contribution, so that Yuan Benchu owed a favor.

The children of the Yuan family were arrogant and did not want to owe anyone, so they asked Zhululing what kind of return they hoped for.

The fish is not wise and thick-skinned, and directly proposes the need for crossbow-making technology.

The crossbow making technology is owned by the state-run workshop, which is responsible for the examination work order, and is directly under the servant, although Yuan Shao has already achieved the military academy captain in the West Garden at that time, but the crossbow making technology is not what he has the right to access.

Yuan Benchu was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard Zhululing's request.

He can't give him crossbow making technology.

Crossbow making technology is a high-end technology that can directly change the combat power of a territory and disrupt the existence of balance. In the game, the transfer of crossbow making technology to players also needs to face many barriers set by the system, no matter which princes know that Futu is the largest.

Yuan Shao asked people to tell Zhulu Ling that he couldn't get the crossbow making technology, and he hoped that Zhulu Ling would have another request. But Yu Buzhi would rather let Yuan Shao owe him a favor, rather than ask for some benefits to end this favor, so he insisted that Qingshan would not relax, did not mention other requirements, and told Yuan Shaofang, "There is really no way to forget it......

Yuan Shao couldn't afford to lose that person.

From Runan Yuan's family, you must not lose your trust to others, let alone to break your trust with players!

Yuan Shao was helpless, so he had to tell Yu that he was unwise, and he slowly thought of a way after returning to Luoyang.

This happened before Gan Ning joined the Chase Deer Leader, but Gan Ning was a general of the Sailor Division and was qualified to know some secret things. Hearing Xu Shu say that the territory had mastered the crossbow making technology, Gan Ning subconsciously thought of it.

"That's not it, the lord hasn't visited the Lord of the Yuan League yet."

"Why is that?"

"Someone in the territory has realized the crossbow-making technique on their own."

"Realize for yourself! Who? Gan Ning lost his voice.

"Ah Pu from the equipment center, no, he is now a master of Ah Pu......

Ah Pu's promotion to master blacksmith and his realization of crossbow-making skills have happened in the last few days. It's hard to say clearly, whether he realized the crossbow making technique after being promoted to a master-level talent, or whether he realized the technique to make a breakthrough, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Zhulu has a master blacksmith and has mastered the art of crossbow making!

Ah Pu realized the crossbow making technique, which was somewhat unexpected by Xu Shu.

In the eyes of Yu Buzhi, it is a matter of course.

For the first time, he noticed Pu's great name: Pu Yuan.

Only then did Yu Buzhi know that Ah Pu was Pu Yuan!

When Ah Pu came to the territory, Zhulu Ling was just a small village.

In order to find the blacksmith talents necessary for the territory upgrade, Yu Buzhi forcibly cleared the level 8 cottage, and there was a senior blacksmith among the loot. At that time, he also got the title of "Tiger and Wolf" and the blueprint of the disguise secret room at the same time, and Yu Buzhi didn't care about what the blacksmith was called. Immediately after the rat plague spread, the Zhulu Army and the people immediately rushed to Yidao Gorge to stop it, not to mention other things (see Chapter 43: The Power of the Tiger and the Wolf).

Later, Pu Yuan stood out among the blacksmiths and entered the equipment center. Xu Shu admired Pu Yuan very much, and called him "Ah Pu", and Yu Buzhi followed suit, and only now did he notice Pu Yuan's real name.

Pu Yuan, a famous blacksmith of the Three Kingdoms.

The Song Dynasty's "Taiping Yulan" recorded that Pu Yuan made 3,000 knives for Zhuge Liang in the Xiegu. The knife he made can split a bamboo tube filled with iron beads, and is known as a magic knife. The main know-how of Pu Yuan's knife making is to master the exquisite steel knife quenching technique. He was able to distinguish the influence of different water quality on the quenching quality, and selected Shujiang water with a large cooling rate to quench the steel knife to the appropriate hardness.

It is said that when Pu Yuan made a knife in the sloping valley, he thought that the local water quality was not suitable for quenching, and sent someone back to Chengdu to get the water of the Shu River. Pu Yuan used a knife to cut the water, and the person who took the water kowtowed, admitting that the water was covered halfway, and used eight liters of water to offset the number.

The allusion of "eight liters of water" may not be credible, but Pu Yuan's casting of the magic sword is a fact contained in the history books. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are not many craftsmen whose names have been left in the history books, and there are at least two in the Three Kingdoms era, one is Pu Yuan and the other is Ma Jun.

It is normal for a historical talent like Pu Yuan to break through the bottleneck of the master level, and it is called a ghost if he can't break through.

is a bit like Zhang Zhongjing, thick accumulation and thin hair, it comes naturally, and it is a matter of time before he is promoted.

However, with Pu Yuan's current age, becoming a master blacksmith is somewhat shocking, even if he is a famous craftsman who has left his mark in the history books, it is still a little early to enter the hall of masters at such a young age.

After returning to the territory and learning more details, Yu Buzhi has his own opinion on this.

He believes that Pu Yuan's promotion is likely to be caused by chance.

The immediate trigger is likely to be the all-iron arrow.
