Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Uh, that’s not right, according to what you said, can the Vanguard Camp be taken down by just four thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry?” Chen Xi said with disbelief.

”He is an exception, but if it were the most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, five thousand would be enough!” Hua Xiong said confidently.

”As for the Vanguard, there’s no need to say more. Back then, seven thousand Iron Cavalry scattered the Vanguard, and only then did the White Horse have the chance for a one-on-one revenge...” Chen Xi murmured to himself.

”Thinking about the Vanguard now, actually the other side probably had almost exhausted their Power of Military Spirit, after all, it hadn’t been long since its inception.” Hua Xiong explained, because he had reached this level, he had a considerable understanding of it.

”In this light, the Military Spirit Legion isn’t actually strong.” Chen Xi said with a bitter smile.

”No, on the contrary, it’s extremely strong!” Hua Xiong said solemnly, ”Take General Guan for instance, if directly confronting a five-thousand-man corps, he would be killed quickly without a doubt, and if the opponent willingly sacrificed themselves to release a Legion Attack, the death of just a dozen people would be enough to kill General Guan.”

”However, if General Guan led two thousand men against a five-thousand-man corps...” Hua Xiong looked at Chen Xi without continuing, the result was self-evident.

”And the current situation is that the Military Spirit Legion itself can fight five alone, and also lead a legion of the same level.” Hua Xiong spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face, which implied something even more terrifying than valiant generals leading troops happened.

”Indeed makes sense.” Chen Xi nodded, he actually understood this, it’s just that elite troops, when taken alone, didn’t seem that strong.

”So, you don’t have the Power of Military Spirit now?” Chen Xi looked at Hua Xiong helplessly.

”I’ve just won a great victory, so there’s a little left.” Hua Xiong sighed, ”But if I really fight with this little, it’ll be wasted in no time, so it’s better to be careful.”

”Zijian, I suddenly found you’ve gotten smarter.” Chen Xi said with a smile.

”No, it’s after awakening that many things just became naturally understood.” Hua Xiong said with a sigh, ”Moreover, the three changing formations taught by the strategist have become muscle memory for the legion and don’t need my command anymore.”

”That’s really great.” Chen Xi’s mouth involuntarily curled upwards, this time he really gained enormously, ”By the way, Zijian, speaking of which, does Gongjin’s Arrow Rain have an enhancing effect on you?”

”Uh, Marquis Chen, how do you know?” Hua Xiong was taken aback and asked immediately.

”Even a fool can see such an obviously unscientific matter.” Chen Xi said irritably, ”The Northern Huns on the opposite side must also know.”

”It’s useless, only effective against enemies.” Hua Xiong shook his head and said.

”Uh, how is the enemy determined? I was thinking of having Zilong shoot from behind you. If you could run as fast as the White Horse, I think your combat power would be even stronger.” Chen Xi said, rubbing his chin.

Hua Xiong looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, if they could run as fast as the White Horse, fighting the Northern Huns Guards would be like fighting kids.

It’s essential to know that the Iron Cavalry is considered short-legged cavalry, while the White Horse is high-speed maneuvering cavalry. Simply put, if the normal Elite Cavalry charge speed is one, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charge speed is only zero point eight, the Wolf Cavalry has one point two, and the White Horse has two point zero.

Mm, note that it is movement speed, not charge speed. Generally, the White Horse does not engage in this type of combat because it greatly limits them. After all, any cavalry in a charge state can’t turn quickly.

This alone nullifies half of the White Horse’s talent, as speed and agility are their trump cards for survival. Once a full-charge begins, even with maximum agility, it’s just the difference between making a big turn or a small turn.

When it seems like the White Horse is charging in normal cavalry’s view, they’re actually moving, and because it’s movement, with agility as an addition, the White Horse can turn back at the same speed the next moment.

This is a major reason why the White Horse dares to tease even the Military Spirit Legion on the plains, because it doesn’t matter how heaven-defying the Military Spirit Legion is, even with infinite stamina, always maintaining charge speed isn’t as fast as the White Horse’s movement...

Previously, when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was hammering the Northern Huns Guards, it was when the Northern Huns Guards could hardly break through the Xiliang Iron Cavalry’s defense, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry’s charge speed was only one point eight, one time the normal charge speed.

By the way, after promotion and overall enhancement, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry’s speed increased to zero point nine of the regular Elite Cavalry. It’s good news though, still hasn’t surpassed one.

Frankly speaking, if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry’s charge speed could truly reach the White Horse’s normal movement speed, probably only a full-power-full-open-state Vanguard Camp could break through their defense.

”Marquis Chen, you’re really overthinking it.” Hua Xiong said helplessly, ”And such speed-enhanced attack and defense strength only has an effect during this charge.”

For this matter, Hua Xiong was not dissatisfied. In the large army operations, if they could pierce through the opponent the first time, it would make later battles much easier.

”Sigh, I also think there’s no such good thing, so it needs to be an enemy deemed by the Chief General?” Chen Xi said helplessly, there’s nothing to be done about that.

”Yes.” Hua Xiong had no idea that the effect of his Military Spirit had been almost fully figured out by Chen Xi and continued explaining to him.

”Let me think, you see other Military Spirit Legions have resounding names, perhaps you should change yours too, I feel that your legion’s talent resembles fire, and your Military Spirit inherited this effect, just with the color deepened, how about calling it the Dark Burning Legion?” Chen Xi suggested to Hua Xiong, playfully.

Hua Xiong’s mouth twitched a couple of times, he hadn’t spoken yet, and Chen Xi, possibly seeing Hua Xiong’s expression under the moonlight, said, ”Don’t like it, then how about Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?”

”Wudang Flying Army, Mountain-Shaking Army, Black Armor Army, if it doesn’t work, even the Eighth Route Army could do!” Chen Xi, seeing not only Hua Xiong’s mouth twitch but even the corner of his eyes twitching, still eagerly suggested, these names seemed to have some strange things mixed in.

”Just call it the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.” Hua Xiong directly vetoed Chen Xi’s proposal, what kind of crazy names were those? His purpose was to prove the invincibility of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so that his comrades who fought for the name of undefeated could rest in peace. No need to change names willy-nilly.

”As long as you’re satisfied.” Chen Xi said with a smile, Hua Xiong’s expression was no longer as cold as before.

Then Chen Xi turned the conversation around and said sternly, ”Originally, my goal for this battle was just to remain unbeaten, then lure the enemy deeper. I didn’t expect such achievements, but this is even better, I’m counting on you, Zijian.” As he spoke, Chen Xi looked solemnly into Hua Xiong’s eyes.
