Chapter 165: Ying Yangjun
Seeing the two master-level masters on the other side busy commanding the troops to attack the Golden Eagle Empire army on the opposite side, the Crazy Lion no longer hesitated and rushed out with a group of subordinates and rushed straight to where Agukos was.
The two innate warriors guarding Agukos only felt a sudden wave of sand and stones flying in front of them, and then a huge black shadow rushed to them and was about to capture Agukos from their hands.
The two immediately understood that someone was coming to rescue the enemy commander, so while waving the weapons in their hands and trying to force the other party to retreat, they shouted to ask for help from their comrades around them.
As a result, as soon as the two of them were swung out, they were shaken away by a huge force. A powerful internal force also attacked them along the weapons, making them feel like they were hit hard, vomiting blood on the spot and suffering extremely severe internal injuries.
Under severe injuries, the two of them could not stop each other from saving people. They could only watch Agukos being grabbed by the other party and thrown on the back of a huge flying beast, and then quickly left.
Guo Dafu, who was pursuing Guhe, found that an enemy master-level master appeared behind him. He was also shocked and immediately gave up pursuing Guhe, but returned to the military formation to prevent the enemy master-level master from appearing again to launch a sneak attack.
With Guo Dafu's guard, the other soldiers couldn't help but feel at ease and continued to attack the enemy formation with Mo Hu.
At this time, Ling Zhi also led the cavalry and chariot troops to the side of the Golden Eagle Empire army and immediately launched an attack.
The Golden Eagle Empire army was not very morale at first, but when they saw their princess leading cavalry troops to raid them, they completely lost their fighting spirit, and many soldiers chose to surrender directly.
In the sky, Agukos, who had just been rescued by the Crazy Lion, looked at the army below quickly defeated, and closed his eyes in despair. You know, in order to gather the millions of troops, Ling Feng transferred more than half of the elite troops of the Golden Eagle Empire, but the millions of troops were destroyed so quickly in his hands. What kind of face does he have to go back to see the other party!
In despair, Agukos pulled a dagger from the waist of the mad lion and was about to thrust his heart.
"Hey! Old man, what are you doing? It's better to live than to die!" Fortunately, the Crazy Lion's eyes were quick and fast. Seeing this, he immediately grabbed the other party's wrist and then snatched the dagger again.
"Haha! I suddenly ruined the million-strong elite army of the empire. Even if I go back, I can't escape death! It's better to settle it yourself now, so that I can at least end it!" Agukos, who was seriously injured, was unable to regain the dagger, and could only sigh with despair.
"I don't think you can blame you for this! The enemy is too strong. You have tried your best. I believe that your little emperor will understand!" The Crazy Lion comforted him, but he probably didn't believe what he said. After all, he lost so many elite soldiers at once, and he always had to find someone to be responsible for this defeat. And the commander of the army, Agukos, is obviously the most suitable candidate.
Shortly after the Mad Lion left with Agukos, the army of the Golden Eagle Empire was completely defeated, and with the existence of Ling Zhi, the imperial princess, many soldiers chose to surrender directly to him.
In this way, after Guo Dafu's battle, the number of soldiers under his command will not only not be small, but will increase.
After the battle was completely over, Guo Dafu asked someone to count that there were as many as 300,000 soldiers in the Golden Eagle Empire who surrendered directly, and about 120,000 were captured. Not to mention that the rest were killed, they just escaped while they were in the chaos.
Guo Dafu, who was captured, was going to send the 120,000 enemy troops to build roads, mine, and work for a few months to make a good transformation.
As for the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire who surrendered directly, Guo Dafu prepared to form another Eagle Army, which was led by Ling Zhi, the princess of the Golden Eagle Empire.
If this is done, the first thing is to satisfy the hearts of the surrendered troops and let Ling Zhi, the princess of his own, command them. I believe that the surrendered troops will have no resistance, let alone worry that their princess will harm them.
Another point is that with this force, when the Golden Eagle Empire fights again in the future, once it is defeated, it will be easier for the other party to surrender. After all, with the Eagle Army as a demonstration, the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire can know that if they choose to surrender directly, they will not be in danger of life, and they can also be reincarnated as the princess Ling Zhi. If you count it carefully, it is not considered a betrayal of the empire. After all, Princess Ling Zhi is actually qualified to inherit the throne of the Golden Eagle Empire. The process of the eldest prince Ling Feng ascending the throne is also full of doubts. If they surrender to Princess Ling Zhi, they may be correcting the situation!
Everyone was surprised by Guo Dafu's decision, even Ling Zhi himself was like this. After all, this is 300,000 well-trained elite soldiers! If Ling Zhi had a strange intention behind him, he could have pulled this army to seize the throne!
However, although he was very surprised by Guo Dafu's decision, due to Guo Dafu's high prestige, everyone did not dare to directly object.
As for Ling Zhi, although she was surprised, she also took on this burden in order to win better treatment for the surrendered soldiers.
Although these 300,000 surrendered troops are well-trained, their cultivation and equipment are too poor, far from meeting the standards of field elite soldiers of the Qinglong Empire. Therefore, they will not be sent directly to the battlefield next, but will first adapt under the leadership of Ling Zhi, and fully change the equipment of field elite soldiers of the Qinglong Empire. At the same time, they must work hard to practice and improve their cultivation to the standards of field elite soldiers as soon as possible.
According to Guo Dafu's plan, if he cannot break through to the seventh level or above in three months, his talent will be too poor and he will be eliminated, and he will either become a civilian or a militia.
Guo Dafu felt that this time standard was quite reasonable. After all, when he was a soldier in the Qinglong Empire, most of his men would practice the "Wanxiang Jue". In addition, he had a large amount of elixirs to assist in his cultivation. He could not practice to the seventh level or above in three months. That was really a bit useless.
At the same time, this battle also allowed Guo Dafu to see the potential of those undead warriors. Although these guys were so weak that they were able to use the single ones to fight, especially the zombie, whose agility attributes were not even comparable to ordinary people. If they took it out alone, they would be the enemy's experience baby. They could easily use kite flying to easily deal with these slow-moving undead creatures.
However, after gathering on a large scale and forming a military formation, these guys can show extremely powerful combat power. As long as the opponent is not a big realm of strength beyond them, it is really difficult for anyone to fight head-on and hard-working zombie spearmen who are not afraid of death and are tired.
Due to the outstanding performance of these undead warriors in battle, Guo Dafu no longer regarded them as cannon fodder, but was preparing to act as a second-line auxiliary force among the field troops. He assisted the field troops in the subsequent battles.
Compared with the strength of the army, the air force of the Qinglong Empire seemed a bit weak. In this war, the army only killed more than 2,000 people, most of which were undead soldiers.
However, the Air Force lost more than 3,000 people and more than 2,000 combat beasts. Three of the twelve combat airships were shot down. The other five were seriously damaged and completely lost their combat power in a short period of time.
So Guo Dafu felt that the focus of his work next was to strengthen his air force. Otherwise, if he continued to fight against an enemy with a strong air force like the Golden Eagle Empire next time, the casualties would definitely be huge.
The above are all issues that need to be solved in the military, and in the civil aspect, there are also a lot of things that need to be solved in the future.
The first thing is to take back all the towns that they had given up voluntarily, so that the people can return home again.
After all, it is not a big deal to keep so many people in several big cities! The food that needs to be consumed every day is an astronomical number.
If so many people have to rely on Guo Dafu to support them, then he will basically be unable to continue to launch a conquest within the central mainland.
So, letting those people find ways to be self-sufficient is a problem that must be solved. This requires that the people be dispersed again, return to their hometowns to reclaim the land, and then either plant various crops or raise meat-type ferocious beasts.
If those people want to reclaim land, the first thing they need to solve is the security problem. So Guo Dafu has to form a large number of local garrison troops, which are specifically responsible for protecting those people in various places and preventing the ferocious beast empire from sending troops into the territory to conduct sneak attacks again.
In addition, he had to produce more advanced agricultural tools to improve the production efficiency of those people. The various agricultural tools used by the people on the Xuangu Continent were really too backward. I don’t know whether it was because the upper class deliberately suppressed the development of science and technology, or because the world had extraordinary power, most smart people focused on how to practice and create various martial arts techniques, which led to the stagnation of these folk technology levels.
In short, with the end of this war, Guo Dafu not only failed to get idle, but even became busier. He had to work on various matters every day until around 11 or 2 o'clock, and he had to get up at six o'clock the next day to continue busy. If it weren't for his high cultivation level, it would be really difficult to hold on.
After experiencing these in person, Guo Dafu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the ancients said that it was easy to conquer the world, but it was difficult to govern the world! It was really tiring to be a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people. It would be more comfortable to be a foolish monarch who ignored everything!
Unlike Guo Dafu, after the war between other soldiers ended, they were all given a long holiday and could have a good rest.
In order to vent the fatigue and tension of the previous battles, many soldiers began to spend money everywhere and eat, drink and have fun everywhere.
Faced with these soldiers who are spending money, merchants from all over the country are also very welcome.
As a senior officer who already has the rank of major general and the title of knight chief, Zhang Tongtian is also deeply touched by this. Every time he passes by the shops on the street and the merchants in the shops see him as if he has seen his own father, they all invite him into the store to spend money with enthusiasm.
However, as a senior officer, Zhang Tongtian was assigned a lot of tasks by Guo Dafu, so he had no time to spend and have fun every day.
But when he was home today, he happened to be met by an old friend of the past, and then he forced him to watch some fun show.
When Zhang Tongtian heard the other party's words, he knew where the other party was going to take him to. He asked curiously and found that many soldiers below had gone to these places to play, and some of them had even spent all their military pay in these places.
This made Zhang Tongtian feel that the problem was very serious. Not to mention that these places would quickly empty the soldiers' wallets, just say that if you go to those places to play, you may get all kinds of strange diseases if you are not careful. Once these diseases are infected in the army, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops!
