Jin Wuhuan took five retainers to the south entrance of Mangdang Mountain. Three months ago, more than a dozen bamboo houses were built there to serve as the residence of Zhuo Wuzi, the craftsman, and the craftsmen to plan the construction of the road. Now Zhuo Wuzi led the craftsmen to go south.
, but it has not been demolished here. An earthen wall with a height of two people has been built around it to form a small village, which has become the south gate of Mangdang Mountain. It is arranged to be guarded by Chinese people.
When he arrived, Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang, Uncle Yong, Dong Da, Ding Ran, Suo Laoliu, Zhang Xiaokeng and others all arrived. Each led his retainers to gather here, and there were actually fifty or sixty people in total.
For a moment, I felt quite strong.
Well, it should be said that the soldiers are strong and there are only two horses, both of which belong to the public.
When he was young, Shanling envoy Lu Fang came to see him off and drank to everyone: "Doctor Shen wrote a letter to punish the barbarians. Originally, I planned to go there in person. However, Dr. Shen was worried about the emptiness of Mangdang Mountain and asked me to take charge, so I had no choice but to go there in person."
I gave up and entrusted Jin to lead the team to go on the expedition. I say farewell today. I only hope that you all will work hard and strive to be the first, and not fall into the name of mediocrity and live up to the ambition of a great man. Drink up!"
After drinking, everyone said goodbye to Lu Fang and followed Jin Wuhuan on the official road to the south.
It was the first time for Jin Wuhuan to lead someone on an expedition. Let alone five or sixty people, he had never led five or six people before, so he was a little confused. Fortunately, Lu Kuang, Dong Da, Ding Ran, etc. had all taken charge of it.
With their help, Jin Wuhuan also gradually learned some skills.
But when you become an army, many things are fundamentally different from going out alone. After all, monks are only a minority, and most of them are ordinary sergeants: you must control your speed, save your energy, and ensure that you will not be unable to fight back when encountering an enemy attack.
Strength; to find a suitable place to camp, it must be convenient for water and fire, to avoid dangers caused by mountain collapse, night floods, and snake and insect bites; to find key locations to set up posts, you can warn in advance...
Although it was only three days, Jin Wuhuan learned a lot.
They were the first batch of reinforcements to arrive at Zhongnuo Village. The next day, Huang Feilong arrived with five hundred tribal soldiers, armed with a variety of weapons and wearing various accessories, some with magical powers and others with magical powers.
They were exactly the same thing. Also arriving with the army were four-horned oxen and dozens of tiger hounds.
Two days later, Dao Nanshe also brought 500 tribal soldiers, which were no different from Huang Feilong's tribal soldiers. The Lianshan tribe and the Cangwu tribe had a better relationship, and the two sides blended together, laughing and joking, except for them
You and others can't tell the difference at all.
As for the Nuoxi Tribe, half of their tribe came out. Anyone who could wield a weapon, regardless of men, women, old or young, all followed. There were more than 1,500 people, both clothed and unclothed.
Zhongnuo Village was packed to the brim.
But Wu Sheng is still waiting, he is waiting for the elite from Shangyong.
Two days later, fifteen chariots came along the repaired official road, each chariot was full of three soldiers, and Sima Yuanzi asked him to come in person.
Wu Sheng was very surprised: "Why did Yuan Sima come in person? Isn't this killing a chicken with a knife?"
Yuan Sima exclaimed: "It's five hundred miles from Shangyong to this place. It takes four days to drive there, and it takes one hundred and twenty miles a day! If there had been this road during the southern expedition to Jiuzhen last year, and if we could drive the car, how could we have been defeated!"
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Let's keep building the road until it reaches the door of Jiuzhenbu's house."
Yuan Sima pulled Wu Sheng aside and asked in a low voice: "All the barbarians have no objections?"
Wu Sheng smiled: "They took the initiative to ask for a battle, and each sent out their best troops, waiting for Sima to take charge."
Yuan Sima confirmed again: "They don't object?"
"Why object?"
"These Baiyue barbarians have never allowed us to interfere in family matters. Otherwise, why would I have secretly gone south with fifty dead men last year?"
"Don't worry, Sima. This is a family matter. Now we, Lianshan, Cangwu and Nuoxi are all one family!"
Yuan Zirang kept nodding: "Okay, that's easy to handle!" He asked again: "I heard that there are 20,000 people in the Dushan tribe?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Just a little more."
Yuan Zirang asked again: "I heard that the territory is larger than Lianshanbu?"
Wu Sheng continued to nod: "50% more!"
Yuan Zirang asked again: "I heard that it is rich in spiritual materials?"
Wu Sheng nodded frantically: "There is a Snake Mountain in the ministry, and the mountain is full of spiritual materials. It is exclusively owned by Snake Elder. This Snake Elder has a good cultivation level."
Yuan Zirang was not in the mood to listen. He was pacing in circles and rubbing his hands: "Okay, this time is great, amazing!"
This time it was Wu Sheng's turn to ask: "Sima brought... forty-five soldiers, does it have no impact on the country?"
Yuan Sima replied with a smile: "Didn't you say in your letter that you would send officials from the Imperial Temple to the south to investigate the case? All the officials suddenly figured it out. They all said that they would send people to help you investigate the case. They were fighting over each other, and they were all rushing to go there.
Tingsi was filled with people. In the end, the king made a decision and decided on the number of officials assigned to each temple. The upper-level officials could get three temple officials, two middle-level officials, and one lower-level official. No, I brought them. It was only a few dozen.
The temple officials are all here to investigate the case, so what impact can they have?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "That's good. Next, I'm going to ask Sima to take charge of the war."
Yuan Sima showed no humility: "Just leave it to me!"
Without any delay, he immediately beat the drums and gathered his generals, planning to strike with one blow.
Wu Sheng quickly stopped him and admonished him: "When Sima arrived for the first time, why didn't he first take a look at the terrain, get familiar with the soldiers and generals, and understand the enemy's situation before making arrangements? The Art of War... I heard that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!"
Yuan Sima smiled: "What Doctor Shen said is very true, but I have been to Nuoxi Beach more than once, and the terrain is very familiar to me. As for these tribesmen fighting, they must not be allowed to stay too long after gathering troops.
Every extra day of delay will weaken the fighting strength. If we delay for three months without fighting, they will break up and go home, haha."
Wu Sheng thought it made sense: "You are an expert, you have the final say."
Yuan Sima sighed: "It's a pity that these people don't understand the way of fighting formation. The chariot I brought will not be able to exert 50% of its power."
At the beginning of the year, Wu Sheng followed King Qingyu to praise his troops at the border of Yongyu, and saw how powerful a real chariot formation was. When driven by a chariot driver, the chariots were extremely powerful when accelerating and impacting, but they wanted to exert their full power.
, still need to be organized neatly.
When all the soldiers are ready, the chariot can absorb the fighting spirit of the soldiers, absorb their strength, integrate the entire chariot array into one, and feed it back to the chariot warrior. The chariot warrior stabs with a halberd, shoots with an arrow, and cuts with a sword.
The amplification can achieve astonishing effects. The most perfect tank combination can even integrate and exert 90% of the strength of all soldiers.
Although the soldiers are all ordinary people, the combined strength of dozens of soldiers is no less than a full blow from a high-ranking cultivator in the God Refining Realm! Of course, not all tanks can exert such combat power. The quality of the tank depends on its quality.
The strength of the charioteer will affect the combat effectiveness of the chariot.
The most important factor that affects the combat effectiveness is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. It is difficult for those with fewer soldiers to defeat those with more soldiers. When the same number of soldiers is formed, the strong will obviously crush the weak, and those who know how to cooperate will crush the mob, and the morale will be high.
of crushing and demoralizing.
That's why Yuan Sima regretted that he brought fifteen chariots but no soldiers, so the power of the chariots could not be fully exerted.
But Wu Sheng was already very satisfied: "If you really want to send out hundreds of soldiers, it will not be temple officials but a large army. I can't explain it to the ministries, and I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied, so that's fine."
Yuan Sima was about to beat the drum again, but was stopped by Wu Sheng again: "Sima, don't worry, let me prepare."
Thanks to Xinxitang for the reward, and thanks to fellow Taoists for their monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
