Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

That single word, "Chop!", burst forth from Chen Dao's throat like a roar.

Almost simultaneously, the two hundred White Feather Troops in the first rank bellowed out in the same manner.

The two hundred White Feather Troops, clad in heavy armor, stepped forward in perfect unison, causing the ground to tremble faintly, and at that instant when the word "Chop!" resounded.

Every White Feather Troop facing an enemy, using the momentum of that step forward, borrowing strength from their feet, twisting their waists, transferred the power to their arms, raising the full-length Zhanmadao and hacking down at the Cao soldiers in front.

This chop??? was not fast, but it possessed the force to split mountains, an unstoppable power.

For ordinary soldiers, on a crowded battlefield, there was never any room to roll and dodge; facing the descending Zhanmadao, their only choice was to try to block it with their weapons.

However, Li Ji had once commented on the power of the Zhanmadao: "One strike, and both man and horse are shattered."

In Li Ji's vision, the White Feather Troops were a countermeasure against cavalry such as the Bing Province Wolf Riders and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, using the power of the Zhanmadao to cleave through both man and horse.

But facing the power of this Zhanmadao, the weapons the Cao soldiers tried to use to block were not as tough as Yangzhou paper.

A series of scalp-tingling sounds rang out.

Almost all the Cao soldiers blocking the path of the White Feather Troops were cut down like harvesting wheat???

No, it should be said that they were vertically split in two; weapons, helmets, and even their bodies were directly cleaved in half, even crushed outright in the hands of some strongmen in the army.

From a distance, one could even see a distinct cloud of blood mist rising in the instant the "Chop!" landed.

Even though the Cao army had no shortage of executioners with bloodstained hands, this terrifying scene instantly suppressed the morale of the Cao soldiers who witnessed it to the extreme.

The full-body heavy armor protected the White Feather Troops from any harm from ordinary soldiers.

But the Zhanmadao in the hands of the White Feather Troops was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying killing weapons.

Li Ji was also paying attention to the initial performance of the White Feather Troops, and he was quite satisfied.

In both offense and defense, the White Feather Troops were undoubtedly quite outstanding.

Unless covered by strong crossbows at close range, it was extremely difficult for ordinary arrows and weapons to harm the White Feather Troops.

The only flaw was the inevitable clumsiness of all heavily armored soldiers.

While many Cao soldiers were stunned by the deterrence, the White Feather Troops led by Chen Dao did not hesitate in the slightest.

Under Chen Dao's years of training, the phrase "strict discipline" was not enough to describe the White Feather Troops.

Fully armored, even with heavy masks protecting their faces, the White Feather Troops, though each was as strong as a young bull, were inevitably slow to move and had limited vision.

Therefore, each White Feather Troop's own judgment of the battlefield was limited, acting entirely according to the command of Chen Dao, their commander.

The formation of the White Feather Troops appeared to be an unremarkable square formation, with gaps between each soldier wide enough for a single person to pass through.

After the first rank of White Feather Troops' Zhanmadao chopped down, they did not pause in the slightest, not looking at or caring about the results, but dragging the Zhanmadao in a labor-saving manner, retreating backward through the gaps.

Unless they were fierce generals with innate brute strength and long stamina like Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhang Fei, even if the White Feather Troops were all strongmen selected from thousands of soldiers, it was impossible to continuously chop with a fifty-pound Zhanmadao.

Even if they?????? (mianli) continued to chop, the White Feather Troops would quickly become exhausted, which was undoubtedly a fatal flaw.

Therefore, in Chen Dao's training, each time the White Feather Troops made a full-force chop, they would slowly retreat through the gaps to the rear of the formation for a brief rest, relieving the muscle fatigue in their arms.

And when the first rank of White Feather Troops retreated to the gaps, it invisibly opened up an attacking opportunity for the second rank of White Feather Troops.

"Step!"

The White Feather Troops stepped forward again, their uniform pace and terrifying figures in the night and firelight causing the nearby Cao soldiers to instinctively take a step back.

"Step!"

Chen Dao spoke again.

The White Feather Troops stepped forward in unison once more.

Although the White Feather Troops moved slowly, they gradually closed the distance between the two sides.

The Cao soldiers, frightened by the power of the Zhanmadao, wanted to retreat, but how could there be room to turn around and retreat on a chaotic battlefield?

When the White Feather Troops took another step, closing the distance to within ten feet, some of the Cao soldiers, in a mixture of fear and panic, couldn't help but try to counterattack again.

Apart from stirring up a few sparks that seemed somewhat weak, the White Feather Troops remained unmoved, until???

"Chop!"

Led by Chen Dao's voice, the White Feather Troops shouted in unison, raising the Zhanmadao and hacking down, turning everything in their path to dust.

At the same time, this was also a message passed to the comrades behind: the White Feather Troops chop down once, then drag the blade back, and the White Feather Troops in the rank behind quickly fill in to attack.

"Step!"

"Step!!"

"Chop!!!"

Chen Dao's voice was cold and calm, and each White Feather Troop was like a ruthless and orderly killing machine, constantly taking turns to chop the enemy in front into dust, with blood mist rising wherever they went.

That unstoppable momentum made Li Ji nod secretly.

The performance of the White Feather Troops in their first battle, after consuming countless resources, made Li Ji quite satisfied.

Although Li Ji understood that there were ways to deal with these slow-moving cans, as long as they were placed in some key locations, the combat power they could unleash was astonishing.

Not bad.

At least it had met Li Ji's expectations.

Even if this White Feather Troop was not necessarily the White Feather Troop in the original timeline, Chen Dao's ability in training soldiers was indeed extraordinary, and his character was also worthy of being reused.

However, Li Ji was obviously unaware of how much shock the White Feather Troops, who he thought were just "not bad," had brought to both sides of the battlefield.

The initial appearance of the Zhanmadao, that unprecedented brutal slaughter method, had an unimaginable impact on morale.

Even Xiahou Yuan was so shocked that the color drained from his face.

With such troops guarding Li Ji, it was undoubtedly wishful thinking to break through to the position of the chariot where Li Ji was located.

And in this moment, the Cao army, which had been constantly breaking through the defense line and approaching Li Ji by virtue of its numerical advantage, was even showing a tendency to be pushed back in the face of the White Feather Troops' counterattack.

Under the White Feather Troops' repeated "Step" and "Chop," they quickly forced the Cao army back to a position fifty steps away from Li Ji.

Cao Cao, who was far away, could not see the details of the White Feather Troops, but could only see that the hope of capturing Li Ji, which seemed to be within reach, was quickly pushed back.

"Incompetent trash!!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but curse out loud.

If it had been any other general who was so fearful of battle and retreated, Cao Cao might have ordered them to be executed on the spot.

However, being forced back dozens of steps in an instant, even if Lu Bu was blocking the way, could not hide his incompetence.

Cao Cao's eyes revealed unwillingness, and just as he was about to send Dian Wei to the front to suppress the formation and try to capture Li Ji.

An unexpected change seemed to occur in the distance where Li Ji's chariot was located. (End of chapter)
