The Spiritual Realm Precepts' reply was cold, but Bai Xiaowen had an idea.
It seemed like he was still not proficient enough in controlling elemental energy.
If he was proficient in controlling elemental energy, it should be possible to attach it to weapons or even long-range weapons.
Accumulating power for long-range shooting was much more subtle than a close combat punch. It could achieve a surprise victory. Moreover, using weapons to attack had higher basic damage than using fists and legs. There was a higher chance of triggering the special effect of instant kill.
Bai Xiaowen then took out the Mountain River Geographical Map.
He had just received a notification that as the special elemental energy skill was unlocked, a new function of the Mountain River Geographical Map was also unlocked.
After unfolding it, Bai Xiaowen looked at the existing description of the Mountain River Geographical Map.
[Mountain River Geographical Map: S-Grade Gold Item, the treasure map of Sky Bearing Luck. Based on the ability of the binder, the current functions of the map are: 1. Check the terrain of the current plane (space). 2. Search for the location of the target. 3. Prayer: Designate a target area and change the weather conditions of the area.]
There was another line of words at the end:
"Note: Activating the prayer function consumes the user's elemental energy. Using the prayer function will cause the hidden attribute, Luck, to decrease temporarily. It will also affect the user negatively in the form of weather changes."
"Prayer will decrease Luck?"
Bai Xiaowen scratched his chin. Although this note was written in small words and was vague, Bai Xiaowen quickly understood its meaning.
The prayer skill had the power to change the weather and reverse fate. Naturally, it also had a negative price.
For example, during the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang used the prayer skill to borrow three east winds to help Zhou Yu set fire to Red Cliffs, creating the tripartite balance of power.
And later in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he set fire to Sima Yi in the upper valley. Unfortunately, there was a sudden rainstorm.
Zhuge Liang was good at observing the weather. If there were signs of rain, how could he not know?
According to Bai Xiaowen's understanding, this was the negative influence that God had on Zhuge Liang in the form of weather changes. The east winds that were borrowed back then would be returned one day.
However, this negative effect was negligible to Bai Xiaowen, an awakened.
Bai Xiaowen was more excited to see what kind of sparks would be created between the special elemental energy technique and the Middle Volume of the Heavenly Tomes, the Art of Peace. The Middle Volume of the Heavenly Tomes recorded various Taoist techniques.
With elemental energy, Bai Xiaowen would be qualified to learn and use dao techniques.
Bai Xiaowen was about to return to his tent to rest when he suddenly heard a series of battle cries coming from the river.
Very quickly, someone came to report that the Jiangdong Navy had sent over twenty boats to attack the stronghold.
The strategists to his left and right said, "Right now, there is no other way. We can only order Admiral Han Song to meet the enemy."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. Sending Han Song to fight Zhou Yu's navy now was simply asking for trouble. Moreover, he had promised Han Song that he would not send him to fight the enemy. His mission was only to set up the navy camp.
"Restrain the ships of the stronghold. Pull them inwards and move closer to the stronghold." Bai Xiaowen gave the first order. At the same time, he boarded the ship and watched the battle.
On the ship, Bai Xiaowen saw that the Jiangdong Navy's boats were able to turn around as if they were flying. As for his subordinates, the northern soldiers on the ships were not good at swimming. They could not even stand steadily on the ship. Even steering the ship was as slow as a turtle, not to mention shooting arrows.
The Jiangdong Navy charged over, causing Bai Xiaowen's navy to be in chaos. A few Bi 'an ships were sunk, and many of the soldiers who had changed professions at the last minute drowned.
"Old Han," Bai Xiaowen said in the team channel.
Han Xu acknowledged and aimed at an area where the Jiangdong Navy was densely packed. He released the Deep Sea Impact!
A huge Specter Ship slashed through the waves and crashed into the target area, splashing waves several meters high. The two ships closest to it immediately capsized. The Jiangdong soldiers on the ships also fell into the water. They were stunned and kept sinking.
The Jiangdong Navy was shocked, and their attacks slowed down. Bai Xiaowen sounded the gong, and the navy ships moved closer to the shore.
However, Han Xu's [Deep Sea Charge] was only a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood when used on such a large battlefield. The Jiangdong Navy was not intimidated, and they quickly beat the drum a second time. Twenty ships chased after the Northern Navy.
Seeing that they were getting closer, Bai Xiaowen gave the order to shoot.
Cecilia and Murong Ping, who were already prepared, each led a few thousand archers and aimed at the 20 Jiangdong Clippers, firing arrows at the same time.
This arrow rain finally forced the Jiangdong Navy to retreat. However, looking at their losses, they only lost two or three ships and a hundred soldiers. Bai Xiaowen's losses were many times that of the enemy.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Bai Xiaowen gave the order to beat the drum and raise the tent.
The strategists and generals had seen the battle last night, and their expressions were heavy.
Han Song knelt and asked for forgiveness. Bai Xiaowen gently said, "You and I had an agreement that I would not send you to the battlefield. What crime have you committed? Just focus on training the marines for this Prince. "
Han Song thanked him and returned to the ranks.
Bai Xiaowen looked at his subordinates and said, "The elites of the Jiangdong Navy can be seen last night. If I want to go down to Jiangdong, this vast river will be an obstacle. "
Xun You said, "The Yangtze River has strong winds and waves. Our soldiers will not be able to stand firm on the ships. It will be difficult for them to fight. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Last night, I came up with a plan. I can order people to build chains to connect the ships together to resist the wind and waves. What do you think? "
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Xun You was the first to speak, "Your Majesty's plan is good, but we are afraid of fire. If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu use fire to burn the ships, the other ships will also catch fire. Our army will be in danger. "
After pausing for a while, Xun You said, "It is currently spring, and the southeast wind is strong. Your Majesty, please be careful. "
Xun You didn't need to speak too clearly because he knew Bai Xiaowen's wisdom. It was enough for him to just point it out.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I've already considered this point. However, we can defend against fire, but the problem of the waves and the soldiers being seasick is imminent. We need to connect the ships together to solve this problem. Otherwise, how can we conquer the south? Between the two evils, I will choose the lesser. "
Xun You cupped his hands and returned to the ranks.
Bai Xiaowen then ordered people to supervise the production of the chains. Everyone dispersed, leaving only one person behind. It was Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue suggested, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated. Why don't you send spies across the river to spread the news? "
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Who can we send?"
Kuai Yue said, "Cai Mao has two brothers called Cai Zhong and Cai He. A few days ago, when you rewarded the Jingzhou nobles, you did not reward the Cai Zhong brothers because of Cai Mao's death. The two of them can use the reason of being treated coldly to submit to Wu. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. He purposely did not reward the Cai brothers because he wanted to send spies. He did not expect Kuai Yue to suggest it first.
