The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 356: The Easter Egg That Stole the Show

"Is collective will also related to military formations and elite talents?" Tian Feng showed a surprised expression on his face.

Not to mention advanced knowledge like the Xuanxiang Army Formation, even a wise man like Tian Feng might not know it. The only civil and military official under Yuan Shao's command was probably Ju Suhui.

Yuan Shao's family must have had some Xuanxiang military formations in their collection. After all, even Cao Cao's family had an Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. There was no reason why the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, would not have one. It was not like the Yuan family had never produced a general. It was not difficult for them to explore the military heritage of the Han Dynasty.

However, apart from the idiot Yuan Shu who gave Zhou Yu and Sun Ce partial access to the Yuan family database, a selfish and suspicious guy like Yuan Shao should not even think about these nonsense.

Knowledge is not priceless, especially in this era, the value of knowledge is even higher. Don't expect others to impart valuable knowledge to you for free.

Moreover, in a typical aristocratic political power like Yuan Shao, there is no way to even think about opening up certain knowledge that can be passed down from generation to generation.

For example, the initial Xuanxiang mastered by Ju Shou, the unknown type of Xuanxiang formation mastered by the Yuan family, or the essence of the elite talent recently mastered by Ju Yi, these are not public within Yuan Shao's forces.

Similar to the Fenggao Zang Academy and Taishan Academy under Liu Bei's rule, the various military textbooks within the army, the circulation of various high-end knowledge between civil officials and military generals, and the ancestral hall schools that sprang up in villages everywhere, they were the heresies of this era.

Therefore, the Xuanxiang Formation was a high-end toy that every civil official under Liu Bei had, and among Yuan Shao, probably only Ju Su knew how to use it.

Besides, elite talents, the product of collective will manifested in the essence of heaven and earth, are even more elusive than military formations.

The Xuanxiang Formation can be achieved by commanding a large army, but there is no way to achieve it by commanding elite talents. It is related to the quality and will of the soldiers, as well as the organizational ability of the legion, and is much more complicated than a military formation.

In the eyes of military training experts like Ju Yi, military formations and elite talents are actually the same thing. However, in the eyes of those who do not understand the essence of the matter, the two are not the same thing, and elite talents are much more complicated than the Xuanxiang formation.

After all, as long as one is given the relevant knowledge, a wise man like Tian Feng can easily learn the Xuanxiang Formation. However, something like elite talent really requires an army to practice before drawing corresponding conclusions. It is not something that can be learned just by wanting to learn it.

"I don't know whether military formations have anything to do with collective will, but it is true that elite talents have a lot to do with collective will, even an essential relationship." Ju Yi said that he was not good at military formations, but he was very good at elite talents.

"So how many elite troops do you think the Black Mountain Army will produce?" Tian Feng asked directly. He and Ju Yi were not very familiar with military formations, so they would use elite talents for comparison.

"When Chen Zichuan recaptured the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, he selected 300,000 elite young men from among them, transferred the most elite 100,000 to the first-line combat sequence, and the remaining 200,000 to the second-line farming sequence.

So, Military Advisor Tian, ​​can you help me calculate how many elite young and strong men the one million Black Mountain Army can gather?" Ju Yi looked at Tian Feng and said.

In fact, Ju Yi himself could estimate how many young and strong people with qualified physical fitness could be gathered in the Black Mountain Army. However, Tian Feng had been dealing with the Black Mountain Army here for some time, and he must have mastered more information than them who had just arrived.

Ju Yi's estimate was only a rough number, while the number given by Tian Feng was much more accurate.

It is a fact that Ju Yi is not good at political strategy and he never refutes it, but he understands military affairs and that is enough.

Ju Yi could indeed estimate a rough figure, but the difference in the amount could be thousands or even tens of thousands.

Ju Yi was not worried that the Black Mountain Army would hide some of its elite troops for use in surprise attacks or something else. Without organization, no matter how elite the Black Mountain Army was, they would be nothing more than a piece of cake.

What Ju Yi was really worried about was that the people who had come from Liu Bei before would bring this hidden elite or even super elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Yan Liang's troops, especially since those two guys were warriors with internal energy leaving their bodies. If they had legion talents, they would most likely cause huge casualties to Yan Liang's troops.

The legion talent comes with a certain effect of correcting the legion's organizational ability. If the two people's ability to command troops is strong enough, it is possible that the legion that charges into the battle will become a double-talented legion.

To be honest, Ju Yi didn't believe that there were not four or five thousand elite veterans with both high quality and willpower among the millions of Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. If it weren't for their poor organization, there would probably be more than one super elite legion in the Black Mountain Army.

You have to know that there were a million Yellow Turban Army. Even if most of the soldiers were of poor quality, the few elite ones among them were veterans who had survived hundreds of battles.

These veterans have reached a certain level in terms of quality, willpower, and skills. What they lack is organizational ability. If this can be made up, these people may be able to create a super elite army for you on the spot.

With a super elite legion plus a legion talent, even Ju Yi, who leads the vanguard of death squads, has to take it seriously, otherwise it will be Ju Yi who will be overturned.

The biggest difference between a super elite army and a double-talented army is that after the super elite army fights madly and bursts out with their will to the limit, they can really overturn the troops in the decisive battle, which is also called explosive growth.

The situation is different for a double-talented legion. It doesn’t mean that a double-talented legion cannot explode, but compared to a super elite legion, the possibility of a double-talented legion exploding is very low.

The explosiveness requires an outburst of will to stimulate potential, but the dual-talent legion already has defects in will. It cannot be said that there is no possibility of an outburst of will, but it is just that the probability of an outburst of will in the dual-talent legion is very slim.

Ju Yi was unable to estimate what kind of combat power those selected elite Black Mountain Army soldiers could unleash, considering their quality and will, as well as their organizational ability which was partially supplemented by their legion talents.

What's more, the Montenegrin Army is extremely large, with a total of one million people. Although most of them are miscellaneous soldiers with poor quality, their will cannot be underestimated.

After all, they were still fighting against the regular army of the Han Dynasty. If they did not have a strong enough will to drive them to continue fighting, it would not have taken the three large army commanders to deal with it.

That is to say, Huang Tian's will was broken by Huangfu Song, and Zhang Jue died soon after, causing great damage to the will of most of the Yellow Turbans, making their wills dormant. Otherwise, it would still be a question whether the Han Dynasty would still exist today.

Although he despised the Yellow Turban Army, Ju Yi still recognized their will. He had seen that kind of fanatical will before. That collective will did not look like an ordinary collective will. Ju Yi looked at the hilltop in the distance, hoping that it was not the worst situation, otherwise he could only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

When Zhang Jue was still alive and Huang Tian's will had not yet been broken, Ju Yi could still vividly remember the fanatical will of the Yellow Turban Army.

Ju Yi didn't know about the existence of Huang Tian's will, but he knew how difficult the Yellow Turban Army would be after their fanatical will was awakened.

Hearing Ju Yi's question, Tian Feng's face darkened. He also thought of the consequences that would be caused if the Black Mountain Army hid some of its elite troops and went straight to Yan Liang's army. Given the size of the Black Mountain Army, they would be the ones to run away at that time.

"One hundred and twenty thousand elite backbones. The Black Mountain Army can at least provide one hundred and twenty thousand elite backbones. If there are more, they will not be able to maintain the most basic organizational structure." Tian Feng was silent for a while, then reported a number that made Ju Yi's eyelids jump.

"One hundred and twenty thousand elite backbones..." Ju Yi widened his eyes slightly. He now understood why Tian Feng spent so much time here, and even wanted to recruit the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

"These are 120,000 elite troops. How did they manage to fight like this?" Ju Yi asked in surprise, then realized, "I almost forgot that the Yellow Turban Army's organizational ability is almost negligible."

"It seems that a formidable guy has come from Fenggao, and he has gathered together hundreds of thousands of elite backbones of the Black Mountain Army." Ju Yi frowned again. He now understood what the collective will was just now.

For some reason, Ju Yi suddenly thought of Yang Ji, whom he had dealt with at Jie Bridge. That guy also integrated the 100,000 Youzhou infantrymen who were unsettled by the departure of their commander into a group.

At that time, the understanding of the nature of elite talents was not enough, so Ju Yi did not understand why Yang Ji wanted to integrate the wills of 100,000 people into one collective will.

Thinking back now, beads of sweat oozed out of Ju Yi's forehead. Even Ju Yi now couldn't imagine what kind of increase and change the collective will formed by 100,000 soldiers with the same elite talents would bring to the elite talents.

Not to mention Ju Yi, even Huangfu Song probably hadn't thought about what kind of power would be unleashed when more than 100,000 soldiers with the same elite talents were combined into an army.

However, before this, the only army group that could truly reach a scale of 100,000 or more and possess the same elite talents was probably the Qin Dynasty's Law Soldiers.

In the current environment, except for those real big guys, I guess no one can perform this kind of operation, unless you can use Zhang Jiao's collective will feedback system from the future.

Because this system only grants soldiers expanded qualities and willpower, and has no other obvious talent effects.

"Zhengli, what have you thought of?" Tian Feng couldn't help asking when he saw Ju Yi suddenly fall silent and sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Reason?" Upon hearing this, Yan Liang looked at Ju Yi and asked worriedly. He had never seen Ju Yi like this before.

"We are going to be in big trouble this time." Ju Yi was in a daze for a moment, then said with a smile. His smile was so bloodthirsty that Tian Feng and Yan Liang could not help but shiver.

"Zhengli, what are you doing?" Yan Liang frowned and held Ju Yi, wondering if Ju Yi was possessed by some dirty things. However, how could Ju Yi, who had a military spirit, be possessed by a dirty thing?

"I'm fine." Ju Yi suppressed the bloodthirsty look on his face and comforted Yan Liang and Tian Feng.

"I just thought about who those two guys were." Ju Yi said calmly after calming down. Now that he knew who his opponent was, Ju Yi had a rough idea of ​​how to fight this battle.

"Who is it?" Tian Feng asked in surprise. How did Ju Yi know who was supporting Fenggao? Did he miss some key information somewhere?

"Remember the guy we met after defeating Gongsun Zan at Jie Bridge? I didn't expect that he would come here to get involved in this matter. Is this the calmness of having internal energy out of the body?" Ju Yi said with a sigh.

Before this, Ju Yi had always thought that Yang Ji was just like him, at most a Qigong master. He had to admit that the guy's young face was really full of deception. Who would have thought that such a young guy could actually have internal Qi out of his body, and he was also the commander of a large army.

It is no wonder that those arrogant and brave generals under Liu Bei were all willing to obey Yang Ji's command. He was a man who beat all the other generals in terms of individual martial arts and troop command ability.

Although Yang Ji also had generals under Liu Bei who he could not defeat, his ability to command troops made up for everything, which was the command of a large army.

"What, that guy actually ran here!?" Yan Liang widened his eyes. He really didn't expect that the guy who had spied on the camp before would be Yang Ji, who left a deep impression on them at Jie Bridge.

On the Jie Bridge battlefield, Yan Liang did not meet Yang Ji, but he was deeply impressed by Yang Ji because Yang Ji made Yan Liang deeply realize how powerless individual forces are in battlefields above the army level.

Before meeting Yang Ji, Yan Liang had never realized that the cloud pressure could be so heavy, and that a general with internal energy leaving his body could actually become a super soldier.

There is nothing wrong with a warrior whose internal energy leaves the body becoming a super soldier, after all, the previous cloud energy suppression had the same effect.

What really made Yan Liang realize how terrifying Yang Ji was was the super-model cloud that Yang Ji formed through some unknown technology. That level of cloud suppression was so terrifying that it could even suppress the military spirits of the vanguard.

For Yuan Shao's side, the most important outcome of the Battle of Jie Bridge was that it broke the psychological shadow of the Jizhou army towards the White Horse Volunteers.

Although the White Horse Volunteers were not completely wiped out in that battle, it was able to break the shadow that the White Horse Volunteers cast on the Jizhou army. For Yuan Shao's side, it was already the biggest victory. Completely destroying the White Horse Volunteers was just an additional victory. If it succeeded, it would be the best, but if it didn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.

That battle should have been a turning point for them in Jizhou, and it was indeed a turning point, but there happened to be a troublemaker named Yang Ji, who added a few more colorful easter eggs to this turning point.
