The 30,000-strong army was well-organized and its morale was high.
They all rode high-headed war horses, wore strong armor, and were fearless in everything.
The rumble of the horse's hooves and the vibration of stepping on the ground seemed like it could really crush all obstacles! !
Being impacted by the breath of tens of thousands of horses, even the surrounding void seemed heavy.
The 30,000 war horses are all the best horses in the [Taiping Army]. Whether it is strength, speed, or endurance, they are far superior to ordinary horses, because this is not an ordinary breed.
Of course, they are not considered alien war horses, but they have been eating the best feed since they were fed. At the same time, since the [Taiping Army] goes out to hunt killer monsters from time to time, a lot of the flesh and blood of those monsters have also entered. In the bellies of these horses.
This resulted in the blood and physical constitution of these war horses being higher than those of ordinary mortal horses.
Other horses, beasts, donkeys, mules, etc. can only be used to transport grain and grass.
In fact, Hong Kang's original idea was to cultivate a heterogeneous war horse. Unfortunately, he had seen many other monsters, but he had never encountered a horse monster.
"After all, the time is too short. These war horses have not yet become demons."
"I heard from the secretary that there are more than 600 war horses that seem to be close to awakening spiritual intelligence..."
Yes, since he couldn't find the horse demon, Hong Kang planned to breed it himself. However, ten years was not enough to transform an ordinary horse into a demon horse.
Not to mention, what Hong Kang needs is thousands of war horses.
………………
On both sides of the county town, countless people looked up.
Either waiting, or seeing off, or simply coming to see...
Heifu, who was a little taller, had already put on new clothes. He pushed forward with all his strength, put his feet up, and looked excitedly at the tall horses, stainless steel spears, swords with a cold light, and the exquisite and cold clothes. armor…………
All of this attracted him so much.
A pair of black eyes were shining brightly.
"So handsome~!"
"This equipment, this momentum... this is "why don't men wear Wu Hook"...!"
"From now on, I must become a soldier of the [Taiping Army]~~!"
A tall man next to him looked over and spoke in a rough voice.
"Young boy, can you still read poetry?"
"Why do you want to join the army?!"
Heifu looked at the tall man with a big beard.
"How wonderful it is to join the army!"
"The salary is good, the status is high, and the family can be exempted from taxes. The most important thing is, you don't have to study all day! Hehehehe..."
The bearded man looked at the silly boy with a slight twitch in his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"But if you join the army, not only do you train all day long, but you also have to suppress bandits and even deal with monsters and ghosts. Aren't you afraid of the kind of thing that can swallow you up with just one bite?!"
Heifu's face suddenly straightened up.
"My sixth uncle once said that a tree's bark is worth a breath of life."
"People can be beaten to death, but they cannot be scared to death!"
"not to mention………"
The young man's dark eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"The [Taiping Army] is a righteous army. They overcome obstacles and protect the people."
"Now everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, not because the years are peaceful, but because someone is carrying the burden for us and moving forward!~~"
This was not a bold statement, just a very ordinary statement, but it made the bearded man's heart shrink suddenly.
He looked at this young junior with complicated eyes.
Yan Chixia recognized this junior student as the kid who had "confronted" him in class, so she struck up a conversation with him.
Just over a year has passed, and not only has the young man's height reached his shoulders, but he even talks differently.
"It's not because the years are quiet, but because someone is carrying the burden for us..."
Yan Chixia thought carefully in her heart.
Very simple words, but very touching.
"It's a pity that I'm not even sixteen yet!"
Heifu was quite annoyed and helpless.
"You are not even qualified for this recruitment...!"
Yan Chixia worked as an editor at "Xinmin Digest" and also knew that the [Taiping Army] began to recruit troops on a large scale, and she heard that,
Many people who were eliminated before signed up again.
"Look over there, do you see that guy on horseback with the red helmet, that's my sixth uncle!~"
"Uncle Six, Uncle Six...!"
Heifu shook his arms vigorously, grinning and shouting.
The figure heard the familiar shout, turned his head slightly, and saw a dark-skinned young man. He did not respond, but nodded slightly.
Similarly, Yan Chixia also saw Zhu Peng.
The boy who was once stubborn to death is now wearing a battle armor, holding a gun and a sword, and is very heroic.
"The tiger roars in the valley, and the falcon tests its wings."
Feeling the enthusiasm of the people, Yan Chixia was moved in her heart.
"Is this... Master Wang!~~"

Blackwater Palace.
Dongfang Bubai looked at Hong Kang and asked a question.
"Brother Hong, why don't you let those demons and ghosts who have taken refuge here also go to fight?"
"Some of them have unique talents and spells, which should be a big help."
"This way, it can also reduce some stress."
Hong Kang shook his head and explained:
"Brother Dongfang's words are inappropriate."
"Now, the [Taiping Army] has officially raised its banner for the first time. It needs to defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield with dignity."
"First of all, only by truly experiencing the training of blood and fire can an unparalleled iron army be forged. There is still a difference between the previous small-scale battles and this kind of large-scale army battles."
"The military soul is like a sword, which is forged bit by bit in the furnace. The map we provided has provided them with the greatest convenience."
"Secondly, if the [Taiping Army] has occupied six southern states, no, not all, even just three states, I will adopt Brother Dongfang's suggestion."
"But in this initial war, if there are monsters and ghosts on the frontal battlefield, they may be used by people with malicious intentions to spread rumors that we are colluding with evil spirits and harming the people."
Dongfang Bubai's red eyes flashed with a look of disdain, and he said carelessly:
"If there are any young people like this, just find them and kill them!"
Hong Kang smiled: "Brother Dongfang's move is certainly neat and pleasing to the people, but in this way, there will be some unknown constraints on the progress of the [Taiping Army]."
"The wise does not buy rumours!"
"After all, there are many people who follow what others say and are easily deceived. In addition, we have to take into account the attitudes of some mountain monks."
"It's not that I'm afraid, but if they think that we are colluding with evil spirits, and then go around all day long with the slogan of slaying demons, that would be very troublesome."
Shanmen monk? !
It is indeed a force that cannot be ignored.
In particular, this is a force that is very promising to win over, so there is no need to turn such a force into an enemy just because of temporary success.
Hong Kang said: "But after we seize the southeast, and then subdue some demons and ghosts with no evil deeds, it will be a different situation."
………………
Thirty thousand [Taiping Army] soldiers were divided into six groups of soldiers and horses to attack separately.
At least they are all soldiers who have achieved great physical training, and even most of the soldiers have been promoted to the realm of "bone forging". Each of them has strong vitality and blood, which is the best delicacy for cannibals and ghosts.
However, when five thousand people gathered together, the billowing energy and blood gathered together, like a ball of fire, but it made the trolls and ghosts extremely jealous.
There were demons who did not believe in evil and wanted to rob a few and then leave. However, before they got close, they were frightened by the evil aura of the army, and then they saw the dark red aura tearing themselves into pieces...
This tragic scene immediately shocked the trolls and ghosts, and they all acted on their impulse.
However, the mountain is not mine, I am the mountain.
The [Taiping Army], in addition to attacking cities and strongholds during this expedition, also has the goal of clearing out the ogres and ghosts along the way.
Suddenly, those ferocious monsters in the past had no resistance at all under the force of five thousand elite soldiers. Except for some who saw that the situation was bad and ran away quickly, they all fell to the sword battle. Under the gun.
Facing those who escaped, the army did not rush to pursue them, but pushed forward firmly and straight like a torrent of steel...
The unabashed actions of the [Taiping Army] along the way were naturally noticed by many people.
Some lamented that the world was about to be in chaos; others were delighted to have such a strong army to protect them;
There are also people who secretly report to some place...
But these can only be listened to the rumble of horse hooves.
Jinhua Mansion.
Tongbenyamen.
Nie Mingcheng held this issue of "Xinmin Digest" in his hand and frowned.
"...Some people talk about educating the people every day, but when the people truly awaken and possess wisdom and knowledge, the superiors begin to be afraid again..."
Nie Mingcheng sighed as he looked at the words in it, which deeply revealed the style of certain people.
He is a sincere gentleman and is not afraid of any criticism, but Nie Mingcheng knows that this article will anger many people.
"Strange, why are you so radical?"
"No, maybe it's because of this radicalness that Xinmin Digest chose to publish it. Hasn't it been like this from the first issue?!"
Nie Mingcheng thought of the "heart is reason" argument in the first issue. Over the past year, many people are still arguing about it. There is no sign of it weakening or subduing. On the contrary, more and more people are getting involved. .
Sudden.
The bowls on the tea table vibrated.
Then, the whole room trembled slightly, and fine ash fell.
Feeling this vibration, Nie Mingcheng's face turned pale.
"Could it be that Earth Dragon has turned over~?!"
………………
The soldiers of the Taiping Army gathered together, broke down the city and fortified the stronghold, subdued the demons and transformed them into beasts, and they were invincible. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the shadows, and as moving as thunder.
