Chapter 220 Military Soul Corps
Guo Jia always felt that Zhang Liao himself and his talents were born for big scenes and that he was a natural commander.
His talent of strengthening his own side according to the number of enemy troops, what does it mean when facing an enemy army of more than 200,000?
With the activation of Zhang Liao's talent, the strength of the 30,000-strong army instantly increased by more than double.
Unlike Gao Lan's talent which requires his side to have enough troops, Zhang Liao's talent is destined to make him extremely strong no matter how many troops he has, and he will even become stronger as the battle goes on.
The spearmen were concentrated in front to form a spear formation, the crossbowmen were arranged behind them, ready to go, the sword and shield soldiers were on the third layer, and the shield soldiers were at the end. Five thousand cavalry were on the flanks, ready to attack at any time.
Zhang Liao had no intention of defending to the death. In his mind, the best defense is offense. His fighting style has always been to defend by attacking.
Especially when the enemy is cavalry, momentum is even more important. As long as you defeat the enemy's first wave of charge with thunderous momentum, it will be enough to establish victory.
Zhang Liao's approach was not wrong, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou were no match for Shen Pei's carefully prepared killing move.
Ju Shou and others under Yuan Shao always felt that although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were brave, they lacked wisdom and strategy and were not capable of standing on their own.
Yuan Shao was well aware of this, but the people he trusted the most were always Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and even his confidant Chunyu Qiong, who had once been his colleague, had to rank behind them.
It's not only because of the courage of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but also because of their abilities.
With their talents activated, the two armies marched side by side, slowly converging into a torrent of steel, blending into each other.
This is not particularly surprising, but the terrifying thing is that the talents of both of them are actually combined into this fused cavalry.
Yan Liang's talent of "bravery" can greatly enhance the strength and momentum of his soldiers.
Wen Chou's talent "Agility" can greatly improve the speed and reaction ability of the soldiers.
The two are a perfect match and complement each other, and now they can be superimposed together with almost full state amplification.
Coupled with Yuan Shao's talent bonus, this 20,000-strong cavalry was also developed with "three talents" and turned into a "fake" military soul legion.
Tian Ze and Guo Jia were stunned when they saw this scene.
It's actually possible!
The Military Soul Corps is a special unit that only appears when the soldiers are united and their individual combat power reaches a certain limit. After implementing the general's beliefs, this kind of unit will have its own unique talents.
Of course, such harsh conditions meant that the size of the Military Soul Corps could not be too large, and would be no more than three thousand at most.
Some military soul corps with powerful talents can only maintain a size of about a thousand people, otherwise the soldiers themselves will not be able to support the blessing of their own corps' talents.
Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and other generals who command large-scale legions can also transform a small number of their personal guards into military soul legions after "awakening", generating legion talents.
However, due to the need to distract their attention from the large army, the number of Military Soul Corps under their command is smaller, with the largest number only being maintained at 500, and the legion's talent is often weaker than that of a pure Military Soul Corps.
As for the Great Halberd Soldiers, they were not a unit under Chunyu Qiong's command, but Yuan Shao's personal guards. They just relied on Chunyu Qiong's talent.
The so-called "three talents" are the talent of generals, the talent of the military soul corps, and the talent of implementing one's own beliefs as a lord. These three are integrated together.
In this case, 1+1+1 will be far greater than 3, and the strength will even grow exponentially. The army in such a state will become extremely terrifying.
Although a small group of elite troops may not be noticeable, when their combat effectiveness reaches a certain level, coupled with their talents, they will have an absolute gap in strength between themselves and ordinary troops, becoming an unshakable force that will play a decisive role on the local battlefield.
In some cases, it can even achieve an almost damage-free crushing effect.
The current status of Yan Liang and Wen Chou is very similar to that of the "three talents" military soul corps, but the talent bonus is obviously weaker, so it can only be called a "fake" military soul corps. But, it is enough.
You know, there are nearly 20,000 cavalrymen!
"Yuan Benchu, how lucky you are!" Tian Ze couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing the performance of Yuan Shao's side now, Tian Ze couldn't help but wonder how Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu.
With so many heroes, if any one of them had performed normally, the ending should not have been like that.
With such a huge advantage in terms of manpower, food, and intelligence, any one of these killer moves would be enough to cause Cao Cao to suffer a heavy loss.
As a result, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were a perfect match, were defeated one by one when they were taken out separately, Zhang He and Gao Lan were forced to surrender, Shen Pei and Ju Su, who were good at commanding, were left behind to guard the house and put aside, and Xu You, who had noticed Cao Cao's lack of food and offered advice, defected because of Shen Pei's anger...
At that time, Yuan Shao really played a good hand badly. He just threw out four twos and two kings and lost a game that was almost impossible to lose.
"Wenyuan, can you hold out against 20,000 cavalrymen?" Guo Jia looked at Zhang Liao beside him and asked with a bit of seriousness.
"Liao will definitely live up to its mission." Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
A corps of 20,000 "fake" military souls, and an iron cavalry corps, such a powerful enemy that even he had to treat with caution.
The opposing troops were led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were both skilled in martial arts, and the effectiveness of Zhang Liao's personal guards' corps talents was greatly reduced. Zhang Liao had no confidence in killing them, so he simply decided not to take the risk.
Iron hooves rumbled as Yan Liang and Wen Chou rode side by side, leading the way, brandishing broadswords and spears, easily pushing aside the forest of spears and charging fiercely with their personal guards.
The two men stared at the direction of Tian Zeshuai's flag, their eyes full of determination and fanaticism.
They have always been Yuan Shao's biggest support, and that has never changed. Yuan Shao entrusted them with this important task, so how could they not fight to the death?
There were 20,000 cavalrymen, and nearly a thousand of them at the front were actually wearing full body armor.
You know, even Tian Ze felt that the cost of this kind of horse armor was a bit high, and it was an unattainable luxury for other princes.
Yuan Shao invested almost all of his belongings here with only one purpose, which was to kill Tian Ze.
Such a configuration was almost the strongest combat force under Yuan Shao. Yan Liang and Wen Chou originally thought that they could tear through Zhang Liao's formation like the cavalry led by Ma Teng and kill directly to the center of the army.
However, he soon discovered that the enemy before him was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Spears stabbed at the body, halberds cut at the horse's hooves, swords chopped at the horse's body, and bows and crossbows shot at vital points from a distance.
what's the situation?
The approaching enemies seemed to be one with them, cooperating with each other in an incredible way. Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou found it difficult to resist the all-round attack.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were shocked by the performance of Zhang Liao's army.
They just felt that the enemies in front of them seemed to be controlled by the same person, and this level of coordination made them feel a little creepy.
On the chariot, Tian Ze looked at the scene calmly and smiled.
