Chapter 542 Lord Wang
Zhou Xu's mentality is still very positive, and he basically doesn't have any sense of luck.
If something can be made do with, then it's fine to make do with it, but something like war horses, which have now formed a system-scale, cannot be made do with, so he certainly won't stuff inferior horses into his cavalry unit to make up the numbers.
By then, dragging down his entire cavalry unit on the battlefield would only cause him to suffer even greater losses.
After hearing Zhou Xu's answer, the little follower's cheeks turned red, and he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Zhou Xu, who saw this, waved his hand indifferently.
"If you don't understand, just ask. There's nothing shameful about it. Who in this world can really know everything?"
Zhou Xu's words made the little follower feel better, and he answered at the same time.
"But Lord Wang knows a lot. He can answer any question you ask him. I really can't compare with him."
"Lord Wang?"
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.
"Wang Pengfei?"
The little follower nodded.
Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly went dark.
"Well, from now on, just listen to what that kid says. Don't take it too seriously, and don't learn from him."
Zhou Xu had to admit that after participating in the "Metamorphosis" in Tieshan Village, Wang Pengfei had indeed changed a lot.
But "talent" can, to some extent, also reflect a person's temperament.
As the saying goes, 'It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature'. The boy's nature of liking to give advice and be a teacher, and being half-baked all day long, has not actually changed.
It's just that he was a little bit overwhelmed and didn't dare to act wildly in front of Zhou Xu.
But he was not so restrained in front of ordinary tribesmen, especially in front of those tribesmen who were not clear about his true nature, then he would put on his pretentious look again.
It's okay for that kid to brag to ordinary people, but the followers around him are all going to be demoted to become officials, and they must not learn his bad habits.
But what should he say about this?
To put it in modern terms, that guy is a keyboard warrior, a king of big talk, the king of argument. He is timid in real life but strikes hard online. He is not good at anything and is the best at bragging.
If modern people heard this, they would understand it immediately, but his little follower certainly wouldn't understand it.
Taking this into consideration, Zhou Xu actually pondered over the sentence.
"In short, that guy doesn't have any real skills. He's good at talking but can't get things done. You all remember, the less real skills a person has, the more he likes to point fingers at others and show off his presence. A half-baked person makes the most noise. You must not become that kind of person."
Even though he was stunned by Wang Pengfei's flattery for a while, from the perspective of the little follower, since their king said so, it must be true.
At this moment, he nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
After educating his little follower, Zhou Xu felt relieved.
[Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise Wang Pengfei would have led us astray, and it would have been troublesome.]
He doesn't want to have a bunch of weirdos under his command who are good at talking but incompetent and useless.
After briefly confirming the issue of the war horse with Ma Guotao, Zhou Xu did not stay here for long.
After all, when he set out from Black Moon Village, there were only a few days left.
In the past two days he was busy with the work in the grassland village, then he completed the surrender of the Centaurs, and finally conducted another inspection.
When things are almost done, there is not much time left.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when they had to set off for the garrison camp to wait for orders.
All the troops who were going to follow Zhou Xu into the expedition this time have now gathered here.
In this wave, all the Centaur forces were under Drogo's command, consisting of a total of 55 Centaur soldiers, which was also their only cavalry force this time.
There is no need to explain the fundamental reason, which is that they do not have qualified war horses and cannot produce cavalry.
As a result, even those soldiers who had received riding training could basically only be used as infantry.
This also allowed the Great Zhou infantry to gather an infantry unit of 150 people.
Even though there are not many people in a team, the combat effectiveness of a team cannot be judged solely by quantity, but also by quality.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had meat for every meal. While their nutrition was adequate, their training intensity was very high every day. In terms of equipment, all soldiers were equipped with scale armor and metal weapons. Now, they were all equipped with crystal iron weapons! Even if we leave out the crystal iron weapons, this configuration would be the standard of elite troops in the era of cold weapons, and it was not comparable to ordinary ancient soldiers in normal concepts.
If not, how could they compete with the lizardmen? Don't forget that the lizardmen are also a special race with physical fitness that is obviously stronger than normal humans! Even the skinny green lizards are more flexible and agile than humans, not to mention the burly blue lizards. Their basic physical fitness is overwhelming when compared to humans.
Take the Lizardmen’s military strength during the previous battle on the plains as an example.
If it weren't for the high-intensity training and the blessing of a full set of armor and weapons, as well as the blessing and enhancement of Zhou Xu's talent, even if there were a thousand ordinary human troops, they would still be slaughtered, and they would be pinned to the ground and slaughtered! "Woo——"
While waiting, the energy channel opened within the time they expected. Hearing the sound of the horn coming from afar, Zhou Xu pulled the reins.
"Set off!!"
After receiving the order, the expeditionary force led by Zhou Xu took supplies and took quick action.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Compared with the first time, Zhou Xu who rushed into the energy channel again was obviously not as uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.
At the same time, perhaps because the distance between the two world fragments had become closer, Zhou Xu felt that the time they took to move in the energy channel had become shorter.
After passing through the exit, the world suddenly changed! Zhou Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air.
At the same time, Silk, who was in charge of guarding this plain area, had already come up on horseback.
"Your subordinate Silk is here to see the king!"
"Silk, thank you for your hard work during this period."
Zhou Xu never hesitates to praise his subordinates.
Now that the Lizardmen's territory had been occupied, Zhou Xu's base here had already moved to the temple.
At this moment, Silk has already ordered people to go to the temple to inform Li Ce.
After all, it would be a bit difficult for them to cross the rainforest area with just their two legs. Li Ce could send a giant lizard to carry them in.
It is worth mentioning here that according to the display of the "Monitor Lizard" project triggered and unlocked by Zhou Xu here, the Monitor Lizard unit was not a military unit at all in the old civilization period, but an auxiliary transportation unit. Its main job was to help them transport goods. Its existence itself was equivalent to a human carriage.
In today's less developed world, the status of monitor lizards has improved, and they are used as important military units by the lizardmen.
Update is here, thanks to book friend '故乡的妮' for the reward!
