Chapter 607: Good and Bad

Immediately afterwards, under the command of Su Huan, the Feifeng Fire Rider demonstrated conventional tactical drills such as high-speed dive attacks, high-altitude bow and arrow shooting, emergency evasion, and full-speed advance.

Under the swooping impact, thousands of giant flying eagles rushed down at high speed, which was much more terrifying than the charge of the cavalry group, and even the top generals present could not help but change color slightly.

The high-speed maneuver is even more to see the halazi direct current, the terrifying speed like a sharp arrow throws off the war horse two streets. Purely competing in movement speed, even the fastest Silver Dragon Iron Rider is far from being an opponent!

This is unexpected, after all, one is flying and the other is running, and there is no comparison at all.

In addition, the reason why the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider has a fire character is because they have mastered simple means of fire control. Due to the short training time, the current training time can only attach flames to arrows and cause burn damage to enemies. In special cases, ordinary arrows can also be used as rockets.

Some gifted soldiers have been able to mobilize the power of fire at a deeper level, casting spells similar to fireballs or making a layer of flame shield on their body, but this fireball is not as powerful as a bow and arrow, and the flame shield is also less cost-effective and needs to be further developed. In addition, the number of soldiers who have mastered this ability is very rare, and there are only about 20 out of 1,000 soldiers.

The most surprising thing is that the defense ability of the Flying Phoenix Fire Horse, which looks very fragile, is quite impressive. Facing enemies in the sky, only ranged attacks can threaten them.

However, ordinary bows and arrows are not very effective against them.

The first is that they fly in the sky, and the power of the bow and arrow is greatly reduced, and the other is that the giant eagle is not as harmless as it seems!

They master a simple wind spell that forms a shield of wind in front of them. It can effectively block arrow attacks. Of course, if a top-level long-range unit like a Sun Shooter is responsible for defense, it is better for the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider to choose a detour. To a certain extent, the Sun-Shooting Pawn is the nemesis of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride!

In addition, a small number of elite Giant Eagles have also mastered an offensive spell similar to the Wind Blade, and the attack power is quite considerable. Multiple elite giant eagles can also be combined to form a storm effect, and the group damage effect is very good, and it can also pose a great threat to high-level generals.

If the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider continues to train, further develop the flame ability, and cooperate with the giant eagle's ability to control the wind, the fire can take advantage of the wind, and maybe it can bring more surprises to people.

Of course, there are many disadvantages of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride.

The first point is that it has been exposed just now, the take-off speed is too slow!

If there is a sudden encounter, with such a slow take-off efficiency of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride, it is estimated that the front line has been fought and the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride has not really taken off.

If the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider is suddenly attacked, the end is estimated to be miserable! Of course, if you can break through the peripheral reconnaissance of the Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry and directly raid, it is estimated that there are few armies in the world that can do this.

However, for the sake of insurance, in the future, whenever the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride is used, a certain number of auxiliary troops must be equipped.

On the other hand, after being transferred to the Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry, the weapons and equipment carried by the soldiers were generally lighter in order to be able to ride the Flying Eagle. Although the armor has been made of high-grade leather as much as possible, the knight's own defense is still far inferior to that of ordinary soldiers.

In addition, overriding the Eagle will also greatly occupy their other abilities, and once they lose the Flying Eagle, their melee combat ability is not as good as that of ordinary armies of the rank. This is simply a shame for the prefecture-level special troops, under normal circumstances, the prefecture-level special troops can skip the level and beat the ordinary troops!

Of course, the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider that controls the Flying Eagle state can beat a large number of prefecture-level special troops!

Another point is that the giant eagle has a very arrogant personality, except for a very few special people, the flying eagle absolutely refuses to be ridden by anyone other than the knight. In other words, the plan to use the Flying Eagle as a transport aircraft to quickly move troops has failed.

Finally, the Flying Eagle is not a war horse, and its endurance is not particularly good. It is also mentioned in the attribute description of the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider that the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider can perform short and medium-distance flight movements, which also indicates that the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider's long-range movement ability is not very strong.

Shang Ji asked Su Huan, according to the test, under the condition of carrying the soldiers, the flying phoenix fire rider can fly a distance of about two hundred kilometers. In other words, the combat radius must be limited to less than 100 kilometers, otherwise problems can easily occur.

If you fly more than 200 kilometers at a time, you need to rest for a while before you can continue flying, of course, if the situation is urgent, you can also overload the flight, but this will hurt the warhawk a lot.

On the premise of ensuring that the war eagle is not irreversibly damaged, the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider can maneuver and fly more than 5,000 kilometers in a day. If the battle situation is urgent, the distance can be doubled, regardless of the cost!

By the way, Pingzhou currently spans only 7,000 kilometers from east to west, and if you take Xiangping as the starting point, the Feifeng Fire Rider can march to any place in Pingzhou in one day!

And ordinary light cavalry can reach the sky for a day's mobile march of 700 kilometers, and the maximum number of infantry is 300. Even with special troops such as the Black Armor Xuan Cavalry and the Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry, they are in their early thousands. This is still due to the increase in flying wings, and the speed of the armies of other princes has to be reduced a little more. No matter how fast it is, it will be fine, but that will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Of course, here is the average calculation, and the unconventional march of small high-level elite troops is not counted. Shang Ji rode the Lilong horse alone, and the average speed could be faster than that of the Flying Phoenix Fire Horse, but this was completely meaningless in a large-scale war!

There are more than 20 BMWs of Lilong's level in Pingzhou, most of which are brought by historical generals.

Among the formed armies, the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider is the most mobile class known to the Shang Ji, and it can also ignore any adverse terrain!

Including Shang Ji, they all listened to Su Huan with a serious face about the advantages and disadvantages of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride, although there were some shortcomings, but the flaws were not concealed, the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride was still a super strategic class that was enviable to drool!

"Good, good!" Liu Yi said three good words in a row, clapped his hands and said: "Such a strange soldier needs to be vigorously expanded immediately." Although the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider is elite, the number of a thousand is too small. In the humble opinion of his subordinates, it takes at least 10,000 to really play a decisive role on the battlefield. ”

Su Huan's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "General Huiliu, this Flying Phoenix Fire is good to ride, but the training is very difficult, there are many restrictions, and there is little hope of expanding to 10,000 people in a short period of time!" ”

"Oh? Tell me, what are the restrictions? ”

Seeing that Shang Ji and Liu Yi and other heavyweights were looking at him, Su Huan knew that this was a good time to complain, and how big the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride would be in the future would depend on this performance!

After brewing his emotions, Su Huan said slowly: "First of all, the training cost of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride is very expensive! After a pause, Su Huan added: "Very, very expensive, the lord should already know this." ”

After speaking, Su Huan also glanced at Shang Ji with an innocent expression.

The corners of Shang Ji's mouth twitched when he heard this, Su Huan really said that there was nothing wrong with this!

After the training of this thousand flying phoenix fire horses, the average training cost per person exceeded three thousand gold, and this price made Shang Ji's eyebrows skip a beat.

In addition, the amount of food of the giant eagle also exceeded Shang Ji's expectations, if it were not for the fact that the Pingzhou sailor could provide very cheap seafood for food, the daily consumption of the flying eagle would be a terrifying expense!

"Wait, wait. Let's see if this thing can be used as the armor of the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider. Nearly half of the three thousand gold was spent on the armor, and Shang Ji hurriedly took out a set of rattan armor that was traded with Yan Huang and handed it to Su Huan.

The weight of the rattan armor is slightly heavier than the leather armor, but it is not a lot, and it is still acceptable for the merchant to sacrifice a little mobility in exchange for a significant drop in price.

Su Huan took the rattan armor, first tried the defense of the rattan armor curiously, and then immediately his eyes lit up, the defense of the rattan armor far exceeded the leather armor, there was no doubt about this.

"This thing is afraid of fire, I just don't know if your ability to control fire can overcome this!" Shang Ji pointed out the fatal flaws of the rattan armor on the side.

"The last general is rude." Su Huan clenched his fists, took out a fire fold in front of Shang Ji in front of the generals, and set the rattan armor on fire.

This rattan armor really lives up to its reputation for being afraid of fire, and although the surface is simply fireproof, it still burns quickly under the continuous burning of the flames. Moreover, once the rattan armor began to burn, the fire spread rapidly, and the flames of kung fu rose more than a meter high in the blink of an eye, if there were soldiers among them, I am afraid that at this time they would already be fire people.

Seeing that most of the rattan armor was burning, Su Huan waved his hand, and the flame quickly weakened as if it was controlled, but in the gap of two breaths, the flame had been completely extinguished, leaving only an unrecognizable rattan armor on the ground.

"Hahaha, lord, the flame caused by the ignition of this vine armor is just an ordinary flame, and there is a way to control it with the ability of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride."

"Will equipping the vine armor affect your ability to use fire-type skills? Don't burn yourself then! Shang Ji asked with a little concern.

"Of course not, Lord An'an, as long as we are not willing, the vine armor will definitely not burn because of our own flame skills!"

"Okay, well, then the future Flying Phoenix Fire Riding Standard Armor will be replaced with this kind of rattan armor. Does Yanchen have any opinions? ”

"No, thank you for the grace!"

The defensive power of the vine armor can even be compared to the normal Jinyao-level equipment, and the leather armor of the Flying Phoenix Fire Rider is even more than three streets. Large-scale equipment of rattan armor has only advantages and no disadvantages for the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride, and Su Huan is naturally happy.

Shang Ji was also very happy on the side!

The price of a set of rattan armor Yanhuang is 600 gold, and Shang Ji believes that large-scale purchases will definitely be cheaper, and it should not be a big problem to win 500 gold.

This price is nearly a thousand gold cheaper than the previous leather armor, and the cost of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride has plummeted by one-third, although the price of two thousand people is still terrifying, but it is much better than three thousand!

"In addition to the cost, what are the other conditions that restrict the expansion of the Flying Phoenix Fire Ride?" Liu Yi asked beside him, but as for the specific cost, he didn't ask. This is not his responsibility, and it is also a worry for Shang Ji or Deng Yan to be troubled.
