Whether it is Lu Xun, Wei Rui or Xie Xuan, it will take a certain amount of time for them to train into an elite army.
And it also requires a large amount of flesh and blood of monsters and strange beasts, as well as elixirs refined by the Daozhengsi Alchemy Institute.
Without the support of various resources, training elite soldiers is a castle in the air.
In addition to simple training, various practical exercises are also essential for military training.
In particular, the special units controlled by Chen Qingzhi, Xie Xuan, Yuwen Chengdu and others would go to Lujiang Province or Jiangdong Province to clean up places from time to time.
Sweep out those Wubao wealthy families who are unwilling to surrender or have different ideas.
…
Time is like water.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
This day. Yangzhou Prefecture, deep in the Datong Mountains.
Large trees as thick as several people could hug each other stand, forming an endless green ocean.
Countless branches and leaves are intertwined, and the sunlight penetrates the leaves and shines on the ground.
This mountain range and woods are adjacent to Yangzhou, with the Liuhe boundary to the west and the Yangtze River to the south. The mountains and rivers are crisscrossed, and the terrain is dangerous. After the changes in the world of China, the spiritual energy is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many strange beasts and monsters hidden there.
Swish!
A total of five hundred soldiers wearing black armor, long knives hanging from their waists, holding bows and crossbows, and carrying fishing nets, javelins and other equipment behind their backs were moving at an extremely fast speed, like a big net, towards a certain mountain top. go.
The weakest one among them all has the fourth level strength, and the Gang Qi protects the whole body, guarding against the endless poisonous insects that emerge in the mountains and forests.
The five hundred soldiers were at a certain distance from each other, but their auras were faintly connected. In the void that ordinary people could not see, their auras condensed into a pack of white wolves.
As these soldiers continued to surround them, there was finally movement on the hill that was their target.
Roar!
A boundless evil wind suddenly emerged, sweeping in all directions with the hills as its core. The black wind carried an unsettling evil spirit straight into the sky, and the sky suddenly became miserable and gloomy.
Hoo ho ho! The black wind contained some kind of power, with a large number of wind blades and black sand mixed in it, roaring and bombarding the five hundred soldiers.
The black wind blew up, and all the trees, bushes, and vegetation on the hills and mountains were turned into ashes.
Their strong vitality was quickly consumed by the power of the black wind, turning them into black invisible powder.
The power generated by this black wind is enough to sweep through a military formation of thousands of people, and kill thousands of civilians in the blink of an eye.
At this time in the dark wind.
It seemed to contain boundless evil, and a terrifying force burst out along with the black wind, like black lightning, flashing in a certain direction.
"Change quickly!"
Feeling the threat coming from the black wind, the leader of the soldiers immediately shouted sharply.
Five hundred elite soldiers all used their magic methods, and five hundred elite warriors with strong energy burst out with tyrannical power at the same time.
Their power was gathered through the military formation, and instantly turned into a trap around the hill.
The leader who gave orders had a majestic appearance and a burly figure. His powerful aura vaguely carried some mystery between heaven and earth. He was obviously a ninth-level strong man who had mastered the aura of law.
He also shouted low at this time and integrated his law energy into the formed formation.
The great formation that originally gathered the power of many fourth-level elite warriors was injected with the law's aura and instantly condensed into substance, like an extremely solid fortress.
boom!
The figure flashing out of the black wind suddenly collided with the condensed military barrier. For a moment, the earth trembled, and two extremely powerful forces exploded in all directions.
The hill where Black Wind was located collapsed instantly, and countless amounts of sand, earth and rocks were thrown away.
The vegetation that had been wiped out by the black wind was now crushed inch by inch by the aftermath of the power, and the original hills turned into flat ground in the blink of an eye.
The incomparable power was constantly agitating in the tyrannical formation formed by five hundred elites. All the grass and trees on the hills collapsed, but the barrier of the military formation was only slightly shaken and restored to its original state.
The black lightning that collided with the barrier of the formation retreated back, showing its true colors.
This is a huge black tiger that is three feet long.
The eyes of this black tiger contain spirituality and obviously have wisdom.
It looked at the large formation of soldiers surrounding it, leaned forward slightly, and let out a threatening growl.
Every low roar contains soul-stirring power.
"The evil beast shall die!"
After seeing the black tiger's appearance, the burly commander did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a crossbow that contained murderous intent and shot at the black tiger.
This crossbow, which contains murderous intent, may seem small, but it contains the power to threaten ninth-level experts. Its speed is so fast that it is difficult to dodge even large monsters.
puff!
The crossbow arrows turned into lightning and penetrated the void. The black tiger could only sway its body and avoid its vital points. The crossbow arrows penetrated deeply into its body, and drops of blood flowed out.
When the blood of the black tiger gushes out, a rich blood smell immediately emerges in the void covered by the formation. The five hundred soldiers around them feel as if they have been greatly stimulated by just smelling the blood breath, and the Gang Qi is circulating. The speed is much faster.
After launching an attack with a crossbow.
The burly commander took out the iron whip from his waist and used the secret military skills. The giant wolf condensed with the strength of the five hundred elite soldiers around him fell from the sky and engulfed his body.
boom!
The energy is surging and the Gangqi explodes.
He flew forward, as fast as a shower, and every blow was like a thunder god striking the earth, a giant whipping the mountains, and his whole body seemed to be forcibly lifted up by the gang energy and magic circle.
The aura that was originally slightly inferior to that of Black Tiger suddenly increased by several percent.
At this time, his muscles and bones were thick and his body was burly. He looked like a giant from ancient times subduing demons.
Roar!
Black Tiger's life level has reached the ninth level, and with his racial talent, his physique and strength are several times that of humans. Faced with such a threat, he roared unwillingly.
Uh-huh! The black tiger's tail was like a divine whip, tearing through the void and colliding head-on with the burly commander.
Boom!
The bombardments from both sides are extremely tough and upright. When they collide, the stronger one will be stronger, and the weaker one will be defeated instantly. I saw boundless air waves erupting from the space enveloped by the formation.
Accompanied by the roar of the burly commander, Black Tiger's huge body was smashed down by the iron whip, and his head shook violently like a bronze bell being struck.
Black Tiger's head was shocked by the tyrannical law energy, and his brains exploded.
But its head did not explode. Even after being repeatedly bombarded by iron whips containing unparalleled divine power, it did not deform. This shows the hardness of the bones of the black tiger's head.
After a while.
The turbulent vitality and the stirring black wind slowly calmed down.
Following the order of the burly commander, five hundred elite soldiers dispersed the formation, and then dozens of people stepped forward and began to take out their sharp daggers and cut the black tiger's body...
"This beast is full of life and blood, and is full of treasures. There must be treasures in its lair as well... You lead people to clean the tiger's den, and the others continue to be vigilant!"
The commander gave the order in a deep voice.
The elite men under his command took orders one after another.
At this time, a man dressed as a hundred people approached, with a smile on his face, and said: "The general is really powerful. The news from the spies said that this black tiger is comparable to the ninth level, mastering the black wind and black evil, and its strength is amazing! "
"Now he is easily killed by the general... If the news is passed back, Your Majesty will definitely reward you heavily!"
"Rewards don't matter. I just hope that after returning to Yangzhou, Your Majesty will allow me to join the army and lead troops. I heard that our army's training and reorganization has been completed, and we will be able to send troops south soon... If I miss this opportunity, I will go into battle and make meritorious service." It’s difficult!”
The leader sighed.
This burly commander was the general Xiao Moke who had followed Chen Baxian.
After he was captured alive by Yang Kan and his troops, he was taken to Yangzhou.
After being imprisoned for a while, Wu Yong came to persuade Xiao Moke to join Daxia.
It's not that Xiao Moke doesn't know loyalty, but that his old leader Chen Baxian has died in the battle. His surrender after defeat is not considered a betrayal. It's just a normal person's choice.
When Nanchen was destroyed in history, he also became a general in the Sui Dynasty and followed the King of Han in rebellion...
Xiao Moke is a pure warrior, with strong strength and qualified ability to lead troops, but his personality is very direct, and he will obey orders honestly under anyone's command.
There is a simple thought of working for whomever you eat.
After joining Daxia, Wang Jing arranged for him to be assigned to the Demon Suppression Department, where he would usually go around with the white-eared elite soldiers he had trained to deal with the powerful monsters discovered by spies.
The flesh and blood of monsters, especially the flesh and blood of ninth-level monsters, are top cultivation resources.
A seventh-level dragon gave Wang Jing a dragon-blooded horse, and he used the dragon's flesh and blood to train tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
And the flesh and blood of this ninth-level black tiger contains boundless energy, blood, and essence.
A drop of ninth-level blood can make an ordinary person who has mastered the method of cultivation soar. He can make up for the defects of the physical body with Qi and blood in a moment. If he has enough potential and wisdom, he can even condense Gang Qi.
The life level of ninth-level creatures has already transcended the ordinary world.
For example, after Wang Jing entered the ninth level, he developed the body of a real dragon and could transform into a real dragon. He was almost a different race from ordinary people. It is more like an innate creature bred by heaven and earth.
A drop of blood from an innate creature has such power!
At this time, except for the people who cleaned the tiger's den and divided the black tiger's body, most of the elite people led by Xiao Moke were close to the black tiger's body. When the black tiger's body was cut and blood flowed out, they continued to operate the method. The condensed Gang Qi.
Every drop of blood that fell was collected in porcelain bottles.
Only the blood dripping on the ground cannot be recovered.
In order not to waste it, hundreds of elites continued to operate here to absorb the rich blood energy until the rich blood energy on the ground was completely dissipated.
Being able to pick up some soup and water to practice while hunting monsters is also a benefit for the Demon Suppression Department and the elite troops who come out to do things.
Half an hour later.
The rich blood energy in the air was refined by hundreds of soldiers who came forward one after another. There were an average of four levels of elite soldiers, and everyone's energy increased a lot.
If there were one or two more opportunities like this, it would not be impossible for someone to break through to the fifth level.
"withdraw troops!"
Xiao Moke saw this and issued an order.
He and five hundred white-ear elite soldiers took the corpse of the ninth-level black tiger and the exotic flowers and herbs found from the tiger's den, and loaded them into the cloud cart to prevent the breath from leaking out.
Then go back down the mountain towards Yangzhou.
As soon as they came out of the mountain, a broad avenue appeared in everyone's eyes.
This is the galloping road from Yangzhou Prefecture to Liuhe Prefecture. On the road, cloud carts are floating one after another, three inches above the ground. The packhorses containing the blood of dragons are galloping, and the cloud carts are also speeding past.
These packhorse cloud carriages are all things that have been slowly spread among the army in the past six months.
Half a year.
The master craftsmen of the Construction Department have long since updated the cloud carts. The fastest and latest cloud carts are in service in the military, while the earliest models of cloud carts have been sold by the Cloud Car Workshop set up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Each cloud car sold a large amount of gold crystal coins.
The energy of the cloud car also requires crystal coins to maintain. The more cloud cars are sold, the wider the circulation of the three crystal coins of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this time, most of the cloud cars speeding back and forth on the road were owned by businessmen.
There are also some cloud cars with enlarged carriages specially used to transport people.
Except for a small number of people in the suburbs, they basically choose to take a cloud car when they go out for a journey. Fast and efficient.
Xiao Moke glanced at the road and then looked away.
He was initially a little shocked by this situation. He felt that the methods of governing the country by His Majesty and the central ministers were extremely profound and could quickly restore the people's livelihood under their rule and make them prosperous quickly.
But after watching it for a long time, I got used to it.
The closer you get to Yangzhou, the more roads there are and the more lively they are.
Even in order to prevent the cloud cars from colliding, the left and right sides of the road were specially divided, and the cloud cars traveling back and forth were driven separately.
The cloud carriage of the Demon Suppression Division has a huge carriage, and the dragon and horse pulling it are exceptionally handsome. There are also flags representing the army hanging on the carriage.
The cloud cars on the road saw the military flag and gave way.
Soon, Xiao Moke and others approached Yangzhou. They first came to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division on the outskirts of the city, and handed over the hunted black tigers and various treasures to the Yamen.
After they entered the Yamen, the news that the ninth-level demon tiger was hunted was quickly spread to the palace through memorials.
Shortly after.
A decree was passed down from the palace to let Xiao Moke enter the palace to report on his duties.
In Yangzhou City.
The streets are busy with traffic, and there are many pavilions. Every street is extremely lively. At every moment, a large number of people, businessmen, and scholars enter and exit through the city gate.
The city gates in Yangzhou are constantly handling traffic, bringing together several major provinces in the upper reaches of the canal, connecting Jiangdong and Zhenjiang south of the river.
In just half a year.
Yangzhou completely replaced Sihong and became the most prosperous city in the Xia Dynasty.
The permanent population of the city alone is three million.
In the history of the Origin World, even Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty and Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty only had more than one million people. A city with a population of one million would be the first and second largest cities in the world.
At this time, Yangzhou was not only an important node of the canal, but also a commercial city where countless goods gathered from the north to the south. It was also the temporary capital of the Daxia Dynasty.
Countless wealthy families and dignitaries have settled here.
There are also countless scholars and merchant families who have defected from other forces...
