"Finally, everything has started. So much preparation has been made just for today." Chen Xi pinched the slip with a face of excitement and said. Then he calmed down.
Under the leadership of Yellow Turban Chen Bai, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans surpassed the number of troops in Qingzhou and Yanzhou. The number exceeded one million.
"Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, this amount is too much." Chen Xi looked at the intelligence in his hand and couldn't help but be surprised.
"More than one million Yellow Turbans." Lu Su mouth twitched a little.
"You will die if you eat it." Liu Ye added.
"If you can't eat it, you will be beaten to death." Chen Xi turned his head and said, "Just do your best. Get as much as you can."
"Isn't it just Yellow Turbans? I caught a lot when I was in Qingzhou." Fa Zheng said nonchalantly. The Yellow Turban matter for him seemed to be completely stress-free.
"Alas, you are still too young." Guo Jia said with lonely expression while putting his hand on Fa Zheng's shoulder, "Boy, you still need more exercise!"
"I'm already crowned!" Fa Zheng pat off Guo Jia's right hand on his shoulder angrily, then said loudly.
"The appearance of maturity does not represent the maturity of your mind." Guo Jia's melancholy expression of "I didn't educate you well, so I am sorry for your father" deeply hurt Fa Zheng.
"Leave it to me. This time I will take care of those Yellow Turbans. As long as you give me 50,000 troops, I can swallow them all." Fa Zheng was a little manic due to Guo Jia's teasing, saying that he does not fit his age. It's just that Guo Jia have seized the opportunity to beat him up several times, but Fa Zheng still did not learn to calm down. When Guo Jia provoked him, he entered a manic state and fight, but he will be beaten by Guo Jia again in a few minutes. Fa Zheng was speechless, then the whole person entered a downturn. Poor Fa Zheng.
Chen Xi turned his head and glanced at Fa Zheng. Why is this guy still so maniac? He is okay at other times. Why does he have to fight when he meets Guo Jia?
Lu Su and Liu Ye glanced at each other and sighed. The latter of the two could not be counted on. Guo Jia ability has already been shown, but the current Fa Zheng makes them a little cautious. Why are you doing things dangerously?
"Report! Report from the east county!" A herald shouted loudly, then presented the latest information.
Chen Xi opened up the information casually, then smiled bitterly. Liu Dai died. After fighting a million Yellow Turbans for three days, he was killed. As an incompetent Han family clan member, he led his subordinates into battle. What a brainless thing to do.
Several people circulated this information, and they suddenly had a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turbans. The combat power was piled up with number.
At the beginning, Chen Xi also thought that the Yellow Turban was very easy to deal with. They were just completely mixed group of miscellaneous soldiers. After all, the world's top generals had a high level of power. They have no pressure under the disperse soldiers, and what they were afraid of was a unified organized army.
Because once an army is organized, the formation of the soldiers is synchronized, and the qi is densely connected to offset the internal qi damage of the top generals. Of course, this offset is similar to sharing the damage. The nearer one is to the damage point the more damage they recieve, and the farther one is the less damage they recieve. But they are all offsetting internal qi.
It can be said that an excellent commander in charge of a thousand or eight hundred elite-level soldiers can kill a top tier general. As long as he can connect his internal qi together with the soldiers, even a master of Guan Yu's level can be killed if they rushed in single-handedly.
However, this kind of internal qi sharing is not very reliable. The place where the general hacked is where the damage is share more, and the other soldiers share less. So in fact, even if the cloud qi formed by the formation of soldiers offset the military general's internal qi, it cannot block tangible objects. As for blocking bow and arrows, javelins, etc. don't even think about it. Tangible attacks can't be prevented at all with the shallow internal qi of soldiers. It is more accurate to say that it defends against internal qi attacks than any attacks.
In fact, since Chen Xi arrive in the late Han Dynasty, he had already thoroughly studied the problem of internal qi. Indeed, everyone hopes to develop inner qi, and everyone can do it, but the problem is that they don't have enough food to eat and the opportunity to cultivate qi.
In fact, the inner qi of martial arts originally comes from the energy of food. Don't practice if you don't have enough food to eat. This is why ordinary people who have some refinement of inner qi are very low. The reason is very simple, they don't have enough to eat.
As for the difference between those who develop the first qi refinement and those who don't is that those who develop the first qi refinement can explode beyond the normal strength when necessary. Simply put, at first he is a normal person, but the next second he can lift a large stone of hundreds of kilograms and throw it away. The difference is that moment. Other times, people who have an inner qi refinement are only slightly better than normal people's overall physical fitness.
As for military formations, the impact of qi is greater. The offsetting ability of military formations formed by people with internal qi is much better than that of mixed soldiers without internal qi.
In Chen Xi's previous judgment, the current Yellow Turbans should belong to a miscellaneous soldier who has no internal qi and no military formation.
As a result, the current situation proved one thing to Chen Xi. Even if they did not develop the first qi refinement, the people in this world are still a little different from those in the previous world. That is, the people who have not developed internal qi refinement in this world can still exude qi. The qi is so thin that no one can see it.
Liu Dai died because of this. No one would have thought that even if there is no inner qi and no military formation for the Yellow Turban, when the military strength reaches a certain level, there will be huge changes.
The vast majority of Yellow Turbans, who don't have enough food, have no inner qi. At this time, it is hopeless to swallow Qingzhou. However, it is estimated that the Yellow Turbans themselves did not expect that a huge number of them will make their combat effectiveness extremely terrifying.
Even if the Yellow Turban does not have the efficiency of the military formation to closely connect internal qi, and most of them do not have internal qi, but the number of more than one million people abruptly manifests those invisible qi. When they came out, a yellowish cloud appeared on top of their head, producing an effect that would only appear when using a military formation. Because Liu Dai hadn't estimated this at all, he was easily cut by the Yellow Turbans when he charged in.
After learning the news, Chen Xi knew that the Yellow Turbans this time was not a good thing. The Yellow Turbans with cloud qi and the Yellow Turbans without cloud qi are completely two different concepts. As long as the million Yellow Turbans don't have cloud qi, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun would dare to bring three thousand soldiers to rush in, and even ensure that the whole army retreat safely. And if there is cloud qi to counteract the internal qi, three thousand soldiers may be killed without even making a splash.
[Yellow Turbans are really a troublesome group.] Chen Xi frowned and thought. But fortunately, the number of Yellow Turbans must be guaranteed in order to have the protection equivalent to the military formation. Once they are separated, they will become meat on the chopping board.
Those with weaknesses are easy to deal with. If it really has no weaknesses and can only be attacked, it will be much more difficult. [Since a large number of people are needed to maintain cloud qi, then separate the Yellow Turbans.] Chen Xi thought.
I hope this doesn't confuse anyone from the previous explanation before. And military formation, strength of the army, and military matters will change as the story progress. I will try to explain the changes as much as possible.
