Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2713 Five Men United, Zhang Wenyuan Fights the Xuanqi with One Heart

"Wen Yuan, we can't hesitate any longer!"

"Whether we choose the right option or the wrong one, we still need to make a decision as soon as possible about whether or not to fight this battle!" Le Jin couldn't help but chime in from the side.

Among the Five Tiger Generals, Yue Jin is more famous for his role as the Vanguard. Theoretically, he should be considered the most powerful among the Five Tiger Generals.

Unfortunately, because he became almost invisible in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't even stand out and became the most minor character among the Five Tiger Generals.

He lacked Zhang Babai's fighting prowess, Xu Huang's composure, and Zhang He's resourcefulness. Furthermore, he wasn't as skilled at training troops as Yu Jin.

However, he was known for his pioneering spirit, and he had no problem with being decisive.

Sometimes, whether you make the right choice or the wrong choice, it's still better than hesitating and not making a choice at all.

"We can't wait any longer!" Upon hearing Yue Jin's words, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. "Whether it's true or not, we must fight!"

"Set aside three thousand men for later use!"

"The remaining seven thousand men, follow me and launch the attack!" Zhang Liao said through gritted teeth.

"Ding! The five-man teamwork technique of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin has been activated."

Five Generals United: Shu has five tigers, and Wei also has five sons. When they work together, they are hard to beat. This is a unique combination skill of the Five Generals, which can only be activated when all five are on the same battlefield.

Effect 1: During combat, all five characters gain +2 attack power.

Effect 2: When fighting alongside the army, if any of the five players serves as the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief's leadership increases by 3, and the leadership of the remaining players increases by 2. If no one of the five players serves as the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief's leadership increases by 1, and the leadership of all five players increases by 1.

Effect three: After this skill is activated, it will increase the entire army's combat power, morale, marching speed... When one of the five is the commander, the entire army's attack power increases by 1.

The combined skills of the Five Tiger Generals did not actually provide a significant boost to their individual combat power; they merely met the standard expected of a combined skill.

However, in addition to providing them with a boost in military strength, it can also increase the boost in commanders, which is quite remarkable.

The overall leadership increase is two points, and even the leadership increase for a main general can reach three points. This is the general leadership increase for the vast majority of peerless commanders.

While there are indeed exceptionally skilled individuals like Xiang Yu and Chen Qingzhi, can they truly represent unparalleled commanders?
Not to mention, can their growth rate just suddenly explode like that?
Effect 3, which provides a massive boost to the entire army, is always a top-tier effect. This kind of effect is almost exclusively for emperors; apart from emperors, not every god-level commander is qualified to have it.

"Ding! The Five Heroes in Harmony combo skill of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin has been activated. During battle, all five members will have their attack power increased by 2."

Zhang Liao's martial prowess +2, martial prowess 101, equipment +2, current martial prowess increased to 105.

Xu Huang's martial prowess increases by 2, his martial prowess is now 101, and his equipment increases by 2, bringing his current martial prowess to 105.

Le Jin's martial prowess increased by 2, his martial prowess is now 101, and his equipment increased by 2, bringing his current martial prowess to 105.

Zhang He's martial prowess increased by 2, his martial prowess is now 101, and his equipment increased by 2, bringing his current martial prowess to 105.

Yu Jin's martial prowess has increased by 2, bringing his total martial prowess to 98. With the addition of +2 from equipment, his current martial prowess is 102.

"Ding! The combined skill 'Five of One Heart' of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin has been activated. When fighting alongside the army, if any of the five is the commander, the commander's leadership will increase by 3, and the leadership of the others will increase by 2."

Zhang Liao's leadership is increased by 3, his base leadership is 97, and his current leadership has increased to 100.

Xu Huang's leadership has increased by 2, with a base leadership of 96, bringing his current leadership to 98. Yue Jin's leadership has also increased by 2, with a base leadership of 92, bringing his current leadership to 94.

Zhang He's command stat increases by 2, base command stat is 96, and current command stat increases to 98.

Yu Jin's leadership has increased by 2, his base leadership is 95, and his current leadership has risen to 97.

"Ding! The combined skill 'Five Sons United' effect of Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin has been activated. After this skill is activated, it will increase the combat power, morale, and marching speed of the entire army. When one of the five is the commander, the combat power of the entire army will increase by 1."

Zhang Liao's martial prowess increases by 1, bringing his current martial prowess to 103.

Xing Tian's combat power increases by 1, his base combat power is 110, his equipment increases by 2, and his current combat power increases to 113.

With Gao Chong's martial prowess increased by 1, his base martial prowess is 107, and with equipment he gains 2, his current martial prowess increases to 110.

Zhao Gongming's martial prowess increases by 1, his base martial prowess is 108, his equipment increases by 2, and his current martial prowess rises to 111.

Jiang Zhong...

......"

Zhang Liao's arrangement was simply to detach 3000 men from his 1 cavalry as his fresh troops, who would not participate in this battle.

If Li Shimin was indeed bluffing, and they were right after all, keeping these 3000 men might not have been of much use.

But if they bet wrong, even if Li Shimin defeats their seven thousand men, the remaining fighting strength of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry will be exhausted after he does so!
These three thousand men were the last ones left to deliver the fatal blow to the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

If they can really achieve this goal, even if their seven thousand men are defeated, this battle will definitely be a huge success.

Even if they lose and suffer heavy losses in this battle, it is impossible for all 7000 of them to be killed!

Defeating a cavalry unit is easy, but wiping out an entire cavalry unit is a world of difference in difficulty.

Moreover, not to mention, if they could keep these three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, even if all seven thousand were wiped out, they would still have made a profit.

This not only means that nearly half of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in the Li Tang Dynasty has been lost, but also that the equipment of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry will fall into their hands.

If they wanted to, they could quickly assemble an elite heavy cavalry force.

The primary reason why a heavy cavalry unit is so expensive is its iron armor, which is the most costly component.

Armor like the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry not only requires a large amount of steel, but also a skilled craftsman, and it takes a year to forge it.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty was rich in mineral resources. During Li Shimin's reign, he discovered the Maoshan Iron Mine, which would later become known as the Maoshan Iron Mine, and even traded large quantities of it with the grasslands.

The horses needed for Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were obtained through hunting on the grasslands and trading, which was how he was able to support such a cavalry force.

After all, the biggest cost item was discounted.

In addition, the gold and silver from the Japanese islands also contributed to the expansion of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

However, if they could annihilate these three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and seize their equipment, the biggest cost of building a heavy cavalry would be solved.

To put it bluntly, they could easily select three thousand men from their cavalry and make them the new heavy cavalry of the Great Jin.
