Due to the special terrain of the East Xun Kingdom, its infantry is extremely poor. As for the cavalry? There is only one horse farm in the country, and the horses produced in that horse farm are even more shameless for the people of the East Xun Kingdom to mention.

I don’t know if it’s a divine punishment or something else. Compared with the horses in the Central Plains countries and the horses in the northern racecourses, the horses in the horse farms are just like small ponies. They are smaller in size. Although they have good endurance, that thing

Can it really be used to train cavalry? Who dares to believe it?

The use of these horses in Dongxun is currently only for chores such as transporting goods, and because the northern countries have extremely strict control over their horse sources, Dongxun still does not have any real cavalry establishment.

, only occasionally a few dignitaries have the opportunity to own a mount of their own.

And in addition to the cavalry, the strength of Dongxun's infantry is also appalling. Even Nanli's militia is probably much stronger than them. The only bright spot of Dongxun's infantry is probably the archers.

God deprived the Dongxun Kingdom of their talent for close combat, and would also give the Dongxun soldiers their talent for bows and crossbows. If there is any country that has the most sharpshooters, it is undoubtedly the Dongxun Kingdom.

Apart from the unsatisfactory level of the army, the only thing the East Xun Kingdom can do well is their navy.

Due to the geographical location of the East Xun Kingdom, they are surrounded by water. Various river basins pass through the country, which makes the fishing and animal husbandry of the East Xun Kingdom extremely developed. Therefore, the navy of the East Xun Kingdom naturally looks down upon other countries.

country.

It is precisely because of this naval force that the East Xun Kingdom has experienced very few wars since its unification. Apart from fighting the barbarians next door, it is just a routine exercise. A battle between the two countries? Forget it, other countries have a spacious road within their borders.

There are very few rivers, so they don't bother to train something like the naval force that has nothing to do with them, and there is no place for them to train.

Therefore, the Yangtze River Basin has become a natural barrier for the Eastern Sunda Kingdom. If foreign countries want to invade, they must cross this natural barrier. And if the Eastern Sunda Kingdom wants to go north, they must also cross this natural barrier and let their own domestic

The army, like cannon fodder, came to capture the city.

This is the reason why the Yangtze River succeeds and fails because of the Yangtze River. However, it is worth mentioning that the junction of Dongxun and Nanli is not within the scope of this natural danger. Therefore, if we say which country is easiest to invade Dongxun,

As for Xun, it would be Nanli.

But Nanli hasn't even figured out its own domestic affairs in the past hundred years, so how can it find the free time to expand externally?

Lingyang County is the bridgehead between Dongxun Kingdom and Nanli Kingdom. Originally, Lingyang County was sparsely populated, almost the same as Wuyang County in Nanli Kingdom. However, the number of people in Lingyang County has increased sharply during this period, with people from both countries

The country's rangers are active in this ordinary little county, and it is inevitable that there will be some spies from Nanli among them.

But Lingyang County Lord has nothing to do about this. He can't just order the arrest of a Nanli man when he sees him. Anyway, paper can't cover the fire. There is no need for his country to launch a war against Nanli now.

Hidden, there was news from Chengdu a few days ago that the Central Army has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to come to Lingyang County in batches. What he, the county magistrate, has to do now is to prepare the necessities of the army, and

A place was organized to store grain. After all, even children understand that the three armies should move forward before the grain and grass are used. Dongxun's gathering of grain and grass for the army is very troublesome. He doesn't want to make any mistakes in this matter, otherwise he will point out

indefinite

I'm going to lose my head.

As for the terrain of Xikun State, it is completely opposite to that of Dongxun. Not to mention the navy in their country, there is not even a river to be found. The navy? The Xikun Kingdom still doesn’t know what a navy is until the founding of the country. They

Which country is facing an opponent that needs to prepare its own navy?

There is no naval force, and there is even less cavalry. There are not many places in Xikun that need horses, and there are no horse-producing areas in Xikun itself, so the cavalry can be directly cancelled.

But why could the Xikun Kingdom, which only had infantry, be able to overwhelm other countries by force alone?

Actually there are two reasons

The first point is that the Xikun Kingdom had a ruthless man who commanded the army at that time. That ruthless man was the black-robed Saint King. There are rumors that although the Xikun Kingdom’s army was quite strong, it was also ranked among the armies of other countries.

Those who deserve the rank, but if this army is not led by the black-robed sage, they will only be able to rank up, and they will have no chance of becoming a strong army.

How strong was the black-robed sage in terms of military command ability at that time? If he had not been conceited at that time to challenge Feng Buping and was seriously injured and ran back to Xikun at night, then the commander-in-chief jointly elected by the coalition forces of all the countries would have been absolutely

It's him, the black-robed sage, not the old handsome man with mediocre strength.

When the allied forces of various countries were completely defeated by Zhou Dunyi in a battle, many people looked up to the sky and screamed, sighing why the commander was not the black-robed saint. Assuming that the black-robed saint came to lead them, in their hearts, what happened to Zhou Dunyi?

They might be beaten like this. If they were led by the black-robed sage, they would have gone to the gates of Jinling City long ago to force Emperor Li to sign an alliance under the city walls.

And that battle also established Zhou Dunyi's reputation as the Tiger Commander. Although many people thought that Zhou Dunyi's reputation was flashy and felt that it was because Zhou Dunyi did not face the black-robed sage, but who made the black-robed sage focus on running for his life?

The country's military doesn't even have time to take care of these other things.

Therefore, until now, Zhou Dunyi has never faced off against the two armies of the Black-robed Saint King. There is no accurate answer as to who is the military god of this era.

As for the reason for the second point, the overall folk customs of Xikun Kingdom are strong and fierce. Its people are martial and strong. In terms of the basic quality of individual soldiers, it is the best among all countries. Moreover, its people are numerous. This can be considered.

The leader of all nations.

The Xikun Kingdom has been in existence for thousands of years. It is said that their founding monarch was a female monarch. She dominated the world with her domineering and unparalleled cultivation. She was regarded as the top leader of that era and no one could match her. She was a monk at that time.

His status is equivalent to Feng Buping's status today, and no one dares to challenge his power.

Later, the Xikun Kingdom passed down the throne for thirteen generations, and the current Emperor Kun is already the fourteenth. And their founding monarch was also revered as Emperor Wa by the people of Xikun Kingdom, and built a palace for him in the country.

Many sculptures commemorate the great contribution she made to the Xikun Kingdom.

One thing that is very strange is that every generation of Emperor Kun in Xikun Kingdom has a unique personal cultivation. If the monarchs of other countries judge wise monarchs based on their ability to govern the country, then Xikun Emperor

The status of the monarch of Kun Kingdom is suppressed purely by his own domineering cultivation.

Take the current generation of Emperor Kun as an example. His cultivation has already reached the standard of top combat power. Although he was forced by Feng Buping to eat the body of the black-robed sage, it cannot be denied that

Emperor Kun's cultivation level is real. Judging from the current situation, even if all the monarchs in the mainland were to attack him together, the outcome would be that he would win easily.

Speaking of the main reason, the main reason why Xikun Kingdom was selected as one of the five small countries in the mainland is that its population was large enough. At its peak, its population could even be said to be more than twice the population of Dongxun Kingdom.

Once there is a population, there is also an army. It is true that Xikun Country has raised an army of one million people from just one country. In addition to this main reason, the citizens of Xikun Country themselves are not bad either.

Emperor Kun's cultivation level is also very strong. These reasons combined make Xikun country among the five small countries, ranking first among the five small countries. If the three permanent powers above are not too powerful, it is estimated that Xikun country will be the first among the five small countries.

China has long ceased to be just one of the five small countries.

Compared with the Eastern Sunda Kingdom, which has not had a war for a hundred years, the Xikun Kingdom has waged quite a few wars in the past few decades. The sponsor of the coalition forces against the Nanli Kingdom each time was Xikun Kingdom, although every time

They all had to retreat due to various reasons, especially the last time they were directly defeated by one group. However, Xikun Kingdom seemed to have nothing to do. It lost so many soldiers in the last battle, and in the blink of an eye, they recruited more soldiers from the country.

, the baptism of battle after battle, the number of veterans in Xikun Kingdom’s army has slowly reached an extremely terrifying number. Those veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles can be seen everywhere in Xikun Kingdom like cabbage.

Maybe for a country with a large population like Xikun, even if they send out a hundred thousand troops and get them out at once, they will just say a pity secretly, and then calmly signal another hundred thousand troops to come out.

?

After training its troops to this point, it is really a miracle that the Xikun Kingdom can still maintain its position among the mainland countries.

This deformed conscription would have caused riots in other countries, but in Xikun Country it was a common occurrence. After the elder brother died in the battle, the younger brother supported him without blinking an eye. After the younger brother died in the battle, the woman also changed.

She wore a military uniform and joined the army in place of her husband. Over time, the whole family died in the war launched by the Xikun Kingdom.

The surrounding small countries could not defeat him, and the only big country was Nanli. However, Nanli was deeply involved in the struggle for imperial power and had no extra thought to fight against such a bizarre country.

More than once, the monarchs of various countries thought that the people of Xikun Kingdom were drunk and confused. They only knew to obey the orders issued by the country, but did not think about whether the order was correct. They were like puppets.

I no longer have my own thoughts.

An old man said that this was because the ghost of the underworld was causing trouble. Because at that time, the god of the five directions escaped with a trace of his soul and needed a large amount of human souls to heal his injuries, so he reached an agreement with the Lord of the Underworld.

This land has all turned into a ghost land. To put it simply, the people on this land may not be alive. The guy you are chatting with happily may just be a walking corpse without his own soul.

Maybe they thought what the old man said was too nonsense, and many people didn't take it seriously. After all, if the Xikun Kingdom was really what the old man said, how could they have so many talented people, such as the Black-robed Saint Lord?

Aren’t they all top figures who were active in the previous era?

Could it be that you want to say that the black-robed sage is actually just a walking corpse?
