Chapter 123: Bandit Army with No Battle Damage
——Why are the robbers we encountered on the way to Chang'an so weak in combat effectiveness? Even the bandit army we collected could not sustain battle damage naturally. .
“Can’t you tell me first who the person you are looking for is? I have plenty of connections in Chang’an, and I will be able to use my connections to help you find him when the time comes.”
Hua Xiong assured Yang Ji that after all, his connections in Chang'an were not just blown away. People like Li Jue, Zhang Ji, and others, although their reputations are not very good, are still a piece of cake to find someone. disc.
If Yang Ji could really tell him the person he was looking for, then Yang Ji would not have to leave his sight, and Yang Ji's safety would be guaranteed.
Although Yang Ji is not well-known within Taishan, in the eyes of those who know Yang Ji's abilities, it is best for Yang Ji to stay in Fenggao City or the military camp and do his research well. Things are handled by them.
Although Yang Ji's martial arts value is very high, he can be ranked high even in the Han Empire where strong men are born. After all, anyone who can condense the will of martial arts can be ranked high. .
But what they need is not a strong person whose inner energy is separated from the body. What they need is the surprises that Yang Ji comes up with from time to time, just like the gravity bracelet that Yang Ji took out from the laboratory last time. Same.
Originally, military generals with missions who wanted to go to the gravity zone to exercise their bodies had to go to the military camp to enjoy the effect of gravity blessing, but now that they have gravity bracelets, it is different.
With the gravity bracelet, they can still enjoy the effect of gravity blessing without going to the gravity training area of the military camp, and it is an uninterrupted gravity blessing.
Although the cost of this gravity bracelet is very expensive, it can only be used if you have the cultivation level of internal energy separation. It takes Yang Ji a lot of time to make it.
Furthermore, the gravity multiplier can only be constant at a certain multiple, and the gravity multiplier cannot be adjusted freely. As a result, he now has to use the ability of the inner air to stay in the air to reduce the weight added to the mount by his own body weight. Otherwise the horse wouldn't be able to bear that much weight.
But even with so many flaws, they still can't hide the benefits that this gravity bracelet brings to them. Now in Taishan, as long as the inner energy is separated from the body, or the inner energy has the inner energy that is separated from the body, Basically all of them wear this gravity bracelet.
And Hua Xiong heard that Yang Ji has recently been developing how to make a gravity bracelet with a higher gravity multiple or a lower gravity multiple, to equip those who feel that the current gravity multiple is not enough. guys, and those who can only withstand lower gravity multiples.
Furthermore, Hua Xiong also heard that Yang Ji also planned to add some kind of gravity restraint device to the gravity bracelet. I heard that after adding this, even if they turn on the gravity blessing in the future, in Ma There is no need to use one's own ability to stay in the air while carrying it on the back.
Although Hua Xiong himself does not understand what this gravity restraint is, it should not affect his understanding that as long as his gravity bracelet is equipped with this gravity restraint equipment, then he does not have to use his own ability to stay in the air to offset the extra energy he has gained out of thin air like now. of weight.
So these senior staff who knew Yang Ji's now revealed abilities, under the pressure of Yang Ji's surprise, formed a basic consensus, that is, Yang Ji's safety must be guaranteed. It was ensured that before the Han Dynasty was unified, Yang Ji's abilities or creations could not be used by other forces.
Under this consensus, Hua Xiong didn't understand why Chen Xi and Liu Bei asked Yang Ji to go to Chang'an. It was a temporary move and they didn't tell him the specific situation.
"Don't worry now, Zijian. After arriving in Chang'an, your connections will be useful. For now, you should focus on the bandits who are robbing you in front of you.
This There are really blind people who want to rob regular troops like us these days. I just don’t know whether they are hungry common people or blind bandits.
By the way, Zijian, when you bring people up, remember not to kill them. Capture them first. Then I will train you some auxiliary soldiers to do miscellaneous tasks. "
Yang Ji called to Hua Xiong, who was rushing forward, and asked him to hold back a little, so as not to use too much force and kill them all. After all, this is the best source of cannon fodder.
However, Hua Xiong was destined not to grab a single head, because the moment Hua Xiong gave the order, the soldiers scattered around silently rushed towards the place where the robbers were.
Yang Ji followed. But it was clear that the mentally ill soldiers under Hua Xiong were rushing towards the robbers in a neat formation. Although the robbers on the opposite side had some formations, there were not many.
Facing Silence, they advanced. The formation of the robbers on the opposite side became even more scattered. They just stood there at a loss and were killed by the soldiers with problems
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over. When Hua Xiong arrived at the scene, less than half of the robbers were still alive. This was because Hua Xiong made people stop, otherwise these defective soldiers would not be able to fight. Will leave half.
Hua Xiong is now interrogating the leader of the robbers who luckily survived. These robbers are really unprofessional. The clothes they wear are not like the clothes that ordinary bandits can wear.
Hua Xiong and Guo Si have eaten in the same pot before, and they are quite familiar with the things on these roads. Even if this is the hinterland of the Central Plains and the bandits are better dressed, it shouldn't be The clothes on the inside are quite clean, but the clothes on the outside are dirty.
Yang Ji did not step forward to observe Hua Xiong's interrogation methods. He just waited for the news about Hua Xiong. After a while, Hua Xiong came back with the news.
"After all, these people are not real bandits, no matter how hard they pretend, they can't pretend to be different." Hua Xiong shook his head. This was not the first time they met bandits who robbed.
Since leaving the jurisdiction of Taishan County, they have encountered no less than ten robberies, some of which were pure bandits, some of which were armed robbery gangs composed of refugees, and some of which were the result of someone's black gloves.
If they meet an armed group composed of refugees, Hua Xiong and Yang Ji will let them follow the road they cleared to Taishan County after defeating them. After all, Taishan County is very short of people now. of.
All the bandits on this road, including the surrounding ones, have been sorted out by Hua Xiong and his mentally ill subordinates, otherwise Yang Ji would not be able to safely let these refugees go to Taishan County.
But if they meet those innocent bandits, Yang Ji and Hua Xiong will not be easy to talk to. They will directly break them up and integrate them into Hua Xiong's subordinates, so that they can also experience what it means to "order and prohibit" . If he encounters black gloves, Yang Ji cannot directly integrate them into Hua Xiong's command. Of course, if there are some black-hearted guys among them, Yang Ji will still directly integrate them into the 'faulty' legion, so that They enjoy the same treatment as bandits.
Then Yang Ji will select some people with relatively good conduct and no excessive sins among the remaining people to form a specialized auxiliary army, which is a normal army.
Up to now, Yang Ji has formed an auxiliary corps of 500 people. This is the result of Yang Ji's careful selection. Otherwise, Yang Ji's auxiliary corps could have one more. Eighteen hundred people.
If this continues, Yang Ji estimates that after his group arrives in Chang'an, it is very likely that a fully-equipped legion will be directly under his command, that is, a legion of about 4,000 people, and Now they haven't even finished half of the journey.
By then, even the Yulin Reserves will no longer need Lu Bu’s sponsorship. They will be able to gather the number of people who have transformed themselves. I don’t know if the Yulin Army Soul will accept these transfers from Black Gloves. wolf riding.
Once again, the bandits who were not yet dead were incorporated into the bandit army, but now Yang Ji discovered a new problem.
"Zijian, don't you think our team is getting bigger and bigger? When we left Mount Tai, we were still a small force of only 4,000 people.
But look at it now. The number is about to reach 10,000. How many people have we taken in along the way? Otherwise, we still have to find a way to get rid of some of them?" Yang Ji said to Hua Xiong with a headache.
When Yang Ji came out of Mount Tai, he did not bring his personal guards with him, so their team only had the four thousand infantry led by Hua Xiong, which were the thousands of mentally ill soldiers trained by Hua Xiong. .
Originally, when they encountered these robbers, they just killed them and buried them on the spot, but Yang Ji felt that even bandits could squeeze out some value. In this era It can be regarded as waste utilization.
Then he suggested to Hua Xiong that these bandits who were full of crimes should be incorporated into his "Miscellaneous Legion", so that they could feel the warmth from the name of order and prohibition, and voluntarily become their "cornerstone" to wipe out the Han Dynasty.
With such malice, Hua Xiong agreed to Yang Ji's suggestion. Ever since he knew that the training method given to him by Chen Xi had such side effects, his "faulty" legion has not added new recruits. Now there are voluntary recruits. He was also very happy as a new recruit.
Originally, according to the two of them, they would encounter a lot of robbers on the way to Chang'an, and then they could send these people to fight and directly destroy these bandits.
But what they didn’t expect was that they still overestimated every group of thieves they encountered. Until now, the number of deaths under their command has not exceeded three digits. I don’t know if it was his training. The methods are too clever, these people will subconsciously form a formation every time they attack.
Then the robbers who jumped out to rob were trapped in a neat formation, and then the number of soldiers under Hua Xiong’s command became more and more, and the most amazing thing is that they returned every time A large amount of food can be looted from the bandit's lair.
Hua Xiong also said helplessly, "Who told us that the bandits we encountered were so weak that they couldn't compete with these trained bandits. How about you come up with a solution?"
After all, Hua Xiong is a general, and generals always want to have as many soldiers as possible under their command, but now he also realizes that he went to Chang'an to make sacrifices, not to suppress bandits and recruit troops.
But as mentioned before, he originally planned to keep his original troops from taking action and only send the newly joined bandit troops to fight against the bandits they encountered.
But who would have thought that the mental illness of his original subordinates would be so contagious. After integrating these bandits into the legion, they would become mentally ill within a few days.
Moreover, he has mastered relevant combat skills without any teachers and possesses spiritual talents. Except for his poor physical fitness, he is no different from the four thousand people he brought out from Mount Tai.
"And I very much suspect that they can integrate into the legion so quickly because of the exaggeration of elite talents. How about you try to whitewash the elite talents they carry?"
Hua Xiong now regretted that he had asked Yang Ji to help create an elite talent, which made them very passive now. If it were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he would not give up these bandit soldiers.
Even if they are bandits, so what? After all, their Liangzhou group can transform into bandits on the spot, or they are just like bandits.
But it is different now. He has now abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. He has successfully whitewashed himself and landed ashore. Although he only whitewashed his surface, the bottom is still black.
But at least they are white on the surface, which requires that their behavior conforms to the mainstream concept. According to the mainstream concept, bandits deserve to die, and bandits have no human rights in the first place.
At the beginning, Chen Xi knew that Hua Xiong had trained a group of Stockholm Syndrome patients because of his temporary high, even though these people were bandits who did not deserve sympathy.
However, Chen Xi still asked Hua Xiong not to use the original training method to replenish the army in the future. He did not want another mentally ill army to appear on his side.
Because the soldiers of this legion suffered from such mental illness, Hua Xiong originally thought that this legion would not be able to carry elite talents in the future, even if the soldiers' organizational strength and basic quality were enough to carry the birth of elite talents. .
But when he was on the road not long ago, Yang Ji actually told him that he could create an exclusive elite talent for this legion, which might be able to cure their mental illness.
Hua Xiong was so tempted that he immediately asked Yang Ji to help create this elite talent called [Torch Fire]. The effect was indeed as Yang Ji said it could cure the mental illness of these soldiers.
Yang Ji replied softly, "If you want to extinguish the burning torch in their hearts, you must first extinguish the hope, yearning or fear in their hearts, otherwise the torch will still rekindle in their hearts. ”
