This month, Zhao Yuan had almost no rest. He needed to select a group of commanders among the 50,000 soldiers.
Now, Zhao Yuan's weakness is that he does not have outstanding generals. He must cultivate a group of generals who can take charge of their own affairs in a short period of time. Obviously, this is a difficult task.
What makes Zhao Yuan happy is that at least half of the 50,000 Qin troops are veterans.
Soon, Zhao Yuan selected 2,000 outstanding talents among 50,000 people and began selective training.
When intensifying the training of soldiers, Zhao Yuan also formulated some simple cultivation methods to allow the soldiers to possess certain cultivator abilities.
Of course, Zhao Yuan did not expect to cultivate an army of cultivators in a short period of time.
Zhao Yuan¡¯s purpose is very simple, to give the soldiers a certain degree of cultivator power and to bring out the power of the cultivator armor.
Zhao Yuan has more than 100,000 sets of cultivator armor. These cultivator armors are all high-end goods and are equipped for high-level cultivators. If the power of these armors is fully unleashed, this 50,000-strong army will definitely be A fearsome army.
During the training, Zhao Yuan's intention was also very obvious, to try his best to let the soldiers master the power of the cultivator's armor.
"If it were in the eyes of a cultivator, Zhao Yuan's training would definitely be a joke, because it was completely improvised.
But, this is no joke.
Zhao Yuan knew very well that his army was dealing with ordinary Crusaders, not cultivators. If it was dealing with cultivators, this kind of training would be meaningless, but against ordinary Crusaders, this kind of training would be of great significance.
When the two armies confront each other, even if the power of the cultivator armor is exerted by one-tenth, it will be a disaster for the Crusaders.
When attacking Vaal City, the majesty of the two thousand Orr cavalry wearing cultivator armor on the battlefield was still vivid in my mind. Those cavalry were not trained at all, let alone perform as cultivators. The armor is so powerful. If these 50,000 soldiers could exert part of the power of the cultivator's armor, what would their combat effectiveness be like on the battlefield?
While the training of the 50,000-strong expeditionary force was in full swing, Wan Ling'er and Mingri Mingyue were not idle. In addition to cultivating themselves, they were also preparing for war.
The preparation work is mainly for Wan Ling'er, and tomorrow and tomorrow will be for Wan Ling'er.
Wan Ling'er's so-called preparation is to prepare a large number of alchemy symbols.
In addition to the enemy-killing elixirs, Wan Ling'er mainly refines large quantities of low-level amulets.
The amulets refined by Wan Ling'er are not for their own use, and they have no need for those low-level amulets. These amulets are mainly prepared for fifty thousand soldiers. Wan Ling'er knew very well that they relied on 50,000 loyal soldiers to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. However, in the Kingdom of Heaven, there was no supply of soldiers. Every death of these 50,000 soldiers would mean one less one. Refining amulets for them would be equivalent to letting them go. They had a few extra lives.
For powerful cultivators, amulets are not of great significance, but for ordinary soldiers, an amulet is equivalent to an extra life. After all, although these amulets are not very useful, they are still useful against ordinary Crusaders. no problem.
There are no idlers in this army.
A month later, 50,000 troops finally arrived at the Er Empire.
In this month, Zhao Yuan ate all the food stored in Lingtai World, and even requisitioned food from the residents of Lingtai World. Of course, after arriving in Er, Zhao Yuan immediately replenished the food and owed the hunter Their debts were also repaid one by one.
After arriving in the Er Empire, Zhao Yuan rested for another ten days and mobilized 10,000 excellent cavalry from the Er army. Originally, Zhao Yuan did not plan to use the Er cavalry, but the effect of this month's training has not been the best, because not many Daqin soldiers are good at riding and shooting. In this month's training, they only learned how to ride a horse. Archery was far from proficient, which had to make Zhao Yuan change his original intention.
With 50,000 Qin soldiers plus 10,000 Er people, the total number of this expeditionary force reached 60,000.
In addition to 60,000 soldiers, they are also equipped with 100,000 ores of the best war horses.
When 60,000 troops and 100,000 war horses gathered at the port, Wan Ling'er and a group of women couldn't help but admire them. However, when they saw the densely packed warships approaching from major ports, their mouths opened wide. of.
¡°Whether it was Wan Ling¡¯er or Ming Ri Mingyue, this was the first time for them to see such a huge battleship.
There are nearly a hundred warships. Except for dozens of ships captured from the Crusaders, most of them areThe Russian ships, including some large fishing boats, were temporarily requisitioned.
A steady stream of military supplies were sent to the warships.
On the tenth day after coming out of the desert, the expeditionary force set sail amidst the sound of firecrackers.
Sixty thousand soldiers were mounted on nearly a hundred large and small warships, and lined up on the sides of the ships, with solemn and stern expressions on their faces.
Everyone knows that this may be an expedition with no return.
As the warship gradually left the port, the shouts in the port turned into sobs. Wives, children, mothers, and fathers were all praying and blessing the expeditionary force in various forms
¡¡
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yuan stood like a mountain, standing on the flagship, with his shirt flying and his shining bald head looking particularly dazzling.
Zhao Yuan¡¯s expression was as cold and serious as the soldiers.
At this time, Zhao Yuan wanted to say a few passionate words to boost morale, or to make the Er people believe that they could come back, but he restrained this impulse because he could not promise, let alone guarantee.
No one knows the outcome of this war.
For Zhao Yuan, victory or defeat is not important. His main task is to contain the Kingdom of Heaven and let the Crusaders fight alone in the Qin Empire.
Zhao Yuan believed that General Changkong and Guo Futou had received the news at this time.
Once the Great Qin Empire in Blackwater City begins to counterattack with the attitude that they will all be destroyed, then the Crusaders will be retreating steadily and begin to evacuate towards the Jiepai Xiongguan area. At this time, the Nine Princes' hundreds of thousands of troops will block their retreat. , or the collision of blood and fire, both jade and stone will be destroyed.
The Crusaders, who were pushed back, lost their strategic rear area and their supply of troops. Any high-intensity battle would cause an irreversible blow to them
¡¡
Everything is just as arranged by Zhao Yuan.
While Zhao Yuan was still training his troops in the desert, the Ninth Prince launched an attack.
The Ninth Prince remembered Zhao Yuan¡¯s words: Don¡¯t care about any gains and losses, attack with iron blood!
The Ninth Prince implemented Zhao Yuan's spirit. He concentrated all his superior forces and began to attack some weakly defended cities. He went non-stop all the way to the point of madness. On the most violent day, he actually conquered three cities in a row and killed countless Crusaders. .
On the fifteenth day after Zhao Yuan left Val City, the Heaven-defying Monkey and the Tongtian Monkey, as well as the Bull Demon King and the Ninth Prince met up.
With the addition of a group of monsters such as the Heaven-defying Monkey and the Tongtian Monkey, the Ninth Prince became even more powerful and attacked cities and territories more and more unscrupulously, with great momentum along the way.
It has to be said that the Ninth Prince was able to achieve unparalleled achievements not only because he implemented Zhao Yuan's fighting spirit, but also because of his amazing luck.
After only counterattacking from Blackwater City to Zhenshuiguan and Orange Island, the Crusaders' defense was extremely weak from Er to the border city of Waal City, because most of the Crusaders and outstanding generals were transferred Arriving at the "Death Line of Defense", they resisted the counterattack from the Qin army in Blackwater City.
In the area around Vaal City, which was the rear area of ??the Crusaders, there were no outstanding generals stationed at all, so they were naturally not enemies of the Ninth Prince.
In fact, even Zhuo Lin, who was possessed by an angel, was temporarily transferred from the death line.
Prince Philip thought that the Angel's personal participation in the battle would be an immediate success, but he did not expect that even the Angel would be killed by an inexplicable enemy. This caught him by surprise, and the Ninth Prince's unstoppable attack on the city was completely shattered. His plan.
When Prince Philip reacted, he immediately sent out outstanding generals to resist the Nine Princes' army. At this time, Blackwater City also got the news and immediately followed Zhao Yuan's instructions and sent out the three killing gods, the Sky-defying Monkey and the Bull Demon King. Rush to the aid of the Ninth Prince.
Zhao Yuan asked the Heaven-defying Monkey Tongtian Monkey and the Bull Demon King to follow the Ninth Prince. In addition to protecting the Ninth Prince, the main reason was that they were cultivators at the level of gods. Even if they faced gods like angels, they had the power to fight ¡
