Tiger King obviously underreported a lot of the elite manpower of Crouching Tiger Peak. Otherwise, with a mere 18,000 troops, it would be impossible to suppress the ancient Cockroach Village with 50,000 to 60,000 troops and become the number one peak in Maoshan Mountain!
When he was suspicious, Wu Xin asked curiously: "What is the average cultivation level of elite personnel?"
Tiger King Hu Pi responded quickly and confidently: "The average level of cultivation is about the sixth level of physical training. In the mountains and forests, it is enough to compete with the elite masters!"
"Oh? It deserves to be the first peak of Maoshan Mountain!"
Wu Xin's eyes lit up and he responded with admiration. With an idea in his mind, he took the lead and looked at County Lieutenant Sun Yuan and asked: "How is the situation now?"
Sun Yuan understood what Wu Xin meant, so he handed over a large stack of papers and said, "Please take a look, my lord!"
Wu Xin took it and started reading it roughly:
"Killed more than 74,000 enemies, seized 1.75 million stones of grain, more than 50,000 weapons of various kinds, 437 sets of armor, and 117 exercises (one of the heaven-level exercises)
Department, twenty-one prefecture-level exercises), ancient paintings, ceramics, sharp tools and foreign objects, etc., gold and silver treasures, etc. totaling approximately more than 6.37 million gold.
Jurong army casualties:
Jurong's regular army lost 17,637 killed and 876 seriously injured, not counting minor injuries.
Jurong militiamen, 9,384 people were killed and 643 were seriously injured, not counting minor injuries.
Xinwuwei, 575 people were killed in the battle and 76 were seriously injured.
Xinwuwei Reserve Army, 254 people died in the battle and 63 were seriously injured.
Among the guards and servants of Silver Spring Valley, 456 were killed and 127 were seriously injured.
…”
Wu Xin quickly read through it to make sure he knew it well.
There are only approximate figures for the number of enemy kills and no specific circumstances. Obviously this is not a good thing. It is not convenient to go into details.
However, Gu Cock Village is not as rich as Wu Xin imagined.
The village has been established for thousands of years, and it has only accumulated this small amount of food and wealth. It is really disappointing for the long history, illustrious reputation and the number of villagers.
In general, apart from the consumption, pensions and rewards of Jurong's army, there was not much loot left.
What surprised Wu Xin the most was that in the Battle of the Slope and the Battle of Zhaimen, Jurong's army suffered very few casualties. In the process of clearing up the general situation, Jurong's army suffered such heavy losses. It had exceeded one tenth.
As expected, this is related to the fact that there are many experts in the ancient cockroach village, but the average cultivation level of Jurong's army is low, coupled with the unfavorable geographical environment, Jurong's army massacred the village and other factors!
"The army! It is indeed not suitable for forest warfare and street warfare. It is obvious that one's own shortcomings are the advantage of attacking the other party!"
Wu Xin's thoughts changed dramatically, and he analyzed a lot of information from various intelligences.
After a moment, he looked thoughtfully at Sun Yuan and Tiger King Hu Pi who were waiting for instructions, then looked at the tall, strong and heroic Hu Ji and asked:
"Can you command more than 18,000 villagers? Those are the elite men!"
The Tiger King and other people in Crouching Tiger Peak were refreshed and looked at Hu Ji and Wu Xin nervously and expectantly.
Hu Ji stood up excitedly and responded loudly: "Yes! The grassroots grew up in Crouching Tiger Peak. They have enough prestige, ability and confidence to control the manpower! If it is Crouching Tiger Peak's manpower, it can be doubled several times."
Hu Ji is not Hu Pi. Which young man doesn’t want to conquer the world and conquer mountains and rivers?
Hu Ji doesn't want to stay in the Maoshan Mountains and take over Crouching Tiger Peak when his father dies. Spending his life doing nothing is no different from retiring early!
Wu Xin responded readily: "Okay! Then this county will set up another army... The Crouching Tiger Army will be under your control for the time being. Generals at all levels, you can discuss and make arrangements among yourself!"
After a pause, without waiting for Hu Ji's reply, he quickly continued: "If the elite personnel do not join the army, they can only serve as guards. Jurong County does not need so many guards. If you select those who are willing to join the army, they will be militarized."
Training and management. The rest of the people will follow the Tiger King and the villagers to leave the mountain and settle in Jurong County!"
He took a breath and added with a smile: "The number of people cannot be less than 10,000, otherwise General Crouching Tiger will be replaced!"
Hu Ji was a little confused, but still responded loudly and excitedly: "Yes! Sir!"
Although Hu Ji didn't understand why Wu Xin didn't directly convert more than 18,000 people into the army, which would be unnecessary. However, these more than 18,000 people were originally selected by the Tiger King and other leaders of Crouching Tiger Peak before leaving the stronghold.
However, with the intention of turning into an army, otherwise Crouching Tiger Peak’s military personnel, as high as 30,000 to 40,000, would not be just this small.
Hu Ji is confident that he can carry out the first military order!
Wu Xin looked at King Tiger and Sun Yuan again and said: "From now on! King Tiger takes office as the deputy city lord of Jurong City and is responsible for taking charge of Jurong City. With the help of the county captain!"
This was a predetermined matter, and the Tiger King didn't react much. But Sun Yuan hesitated and asked: "Senior Tiger King, what specific aspects are you responsible for?"
Wu Xin thought for a while and explained: "Military and government affairs, people's livelihood and commerce, etc., everything can be managed. However, it is limited to Jurong City. For the time being, he is not an official of the Sui Dynasty, but a representative of this county!"
"Yes!" Sun Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded.
With the reputation and strength of the Tiger King, it is enough to sit in Jurong City! As long as it does not conflict with the positions of county captain and county magistrate, it will be easy to handle.
Of course, Jurong is a county town, so intersections and conflicts are inevitable.
County lieutenants, county magistrates, etc. will definitely not be able to compete with Hu Pi. After all, Hu Pi is the ancestor of the God Refiner and has tens of thousands of people at Crouching Tiger Peak!
"Replenish the formations of the Giant Shield Army, the Spear Army, and the Fengya Army and leave them behind. Then, the county lieutenant will take all the Jurong troops back!" Wu Xin quickly ordered.
Sun Yuan responded somewhat sadly, feeling that he had not done a good job and Wu Xin did not want him to waste his troops in the Maoshan Mountains!
Seeing Sun Yuan's reaction, Wu Xin had to explain:
"This expedition is a practical exercise and training. The main force is the Xinwu Guards and Silver Spring Valley personnel. Next, we will start to go deep into the mountains, climb mountains and wade, and we will encounter various mountain and forest attacks. It is not convenient to lead so many troops!"
"Yes!" Sun Yuan suddenly replied, feeling ashamed secretly.
Later, Wu Xin asked the Liu family to leave Maoshan with the remnants of the ancient cockroach village and their trophies.
Most of the trophies, such as food and treasures, will be hidden in Silver Spring Valley. The remnants of the ancient Cockroach Village will also be placed in Silver Spring Valley. The remaining old weapons, ancient paintings, ceramic ornaments and other impractical items will be taken to Jurong City for sale!
The scorching sun is rising.
An endless stream of people, totaling about 140,000 people, poured out of Gu Chongshan and headed to Silver Spring Valley and Jurong City respectively.
There are only 6,000 Xinwu Guards, 5,000 Xinwu Guards reserve troops, and more than 4,000 Silver Spring Valley personnel. The Giant Shield, Spear, and Feng Ya armies each have 10,000 troops, and the Crouching Tiger Army has 15,000 troops.
The total number of people staying in the Gu Chong Village is about 60,000, and most of them have been reduced, which also makes the Gu Cock Village a lot more relaxed!
It is worth mentioning that the vast majority of the more than 10,000 remnants of the ancient Cockroach Village who were previously spared by Wu Xinruan chose to stay and settle in Silver Spring Valley, with less than a thousand people leaving.
Because the ancient cockroach village no longer exists. The remaining remnants are either women, children, or old people. They simply lack the ability and courage to survive independently. The world is huge, they have no friends, and they don’t know where they are going!
As the Jurong army and Crouching Tiger Peak left, Zhang Qi, headed by Zhang Qi, took many women and children to Silver Spring Valley. Only Zhang Qing and Ling Yu were familiar with the Maoshan Mountains and had certain strength, so they were left to help!
…
In the next few days, the martial demon Wu Xin, who was followed by countless forces, stayed at the Ancient Cockroach Village with 60,000 elite soldiers. He was not as eager to sweep through Maoshan as everyone thought.
For seven consecutive days, Wu Xin led Xin Wuwei and the reserve army to train continuously. He ate well, practiced, rested after training, and went to bed at night. He seemed to regard Gu Chongzhai as a training ground and did not want to conquer Maoshan. He didn't even care about Jurong County.
!
The 15,000-strong Crouching Tiger Army led by Hu Ji, after seven days of training, became more like a military force, and developed an iron-blooded aura!
The iron-blooded evil spirit is determined by many factors such as the eliteness of the soldiers, their number, their morale and fighting spirit, etc. It is difficult to enter the rank. However, as long as they look like an army and have enough numbers, they can be condensed.
This day.
Wu Xin was still sitting cross-legged in the square of the Ancient Cockroach Village, his body covered in blood mist, his blood sea martial soul floating above his head, frantically absorbing the blood energy.
The Qi Refining Realm is not the Nine Heavens of the Body Refining Realm. Instead, there are only five heavens, namely Qijing, Eight Meridians, Tiangang, Disha, and Hunyuan. Each heaven is a qualitative change!
Wu Xin was recasting the eight meridians of the second level of Qi Refining at a rate of one per day with the help of the overflowing blood energy. Now he is only short of the last Governor Vein to break through to the third level of Qi Refining and advance to the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm!
What's more important is that once the eight meridians are completed, the true energy in Wu Xin's body will circulate, and the Great Zhoutian will be formed. The amount of true energy, the speed of operation, the intensity of the increase, etc. will soar greatly!
With Wu Xin's terrifyingly solid foundation and super physical strength, without the assistance of a large amount of blood energy, and under normal circumstances without external forces, it would take a year and a half to recast one.
It is conceivable that Wu Xin's progress was huge and bloody!
"Young Master! The descendant of the Demon Queen is here with a group of people from the Demon Sect!"
While practicing, Wu Xin heard Uncle Hong's reminder.
Wu Xin quickly finished his work, the blood mist dissipated, the martial spirit disappeared, and he began to smooth out the roaring blood and true energy in his body!
As always, the robe is as gorgeous as blood and full of charm.
Yingying took Gan Yayun and more than a hundred powerful people from the Demon Sect, stepped over the ruined village wall, and appeared in Wu Xin's sight...
"Senior sister, did you bring the Heavenly Demon Sutra?"
Wu Xin did not stand up to greet him, but still took stock of the situation inside his body, but couldn't wait to ask.
Yingying showed dissatisfaction, deliberately did not answer, and praised continuously: "Junior brother, you are so hardworking! You are really racing against time, and you don't relax for a moment! However, we haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and we haven't improved to one level yet. The speed is still too slow! It seems that Wu
The name of a demon is not worthy of its name!"
Wu Xin smiled bitterly and remained silent.
The Qi Refining Realm is a stage that comes naturally. Your strength is dozens of times that of ordinary martial arts practitioners, and the difficulty of training will naturally increase accordingly.
The current speed of cultivation is already the result of more than 100,000 lives! What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Of course, Yingying's words are somewhat dissatisfied, complaining and other emotions.
"Junior brother, are you a masochist? You have turned a beautiful scenery into a hell on earth, with a stench filling the sky. What kind of fun is this? What kind of technique requires such an environment?"
Leading the crowd towards Wu Xin, Yingying frowned more and more tightly. She couldn't help but use her strength to block the smell, and looked at Wu Xin with strange eyes and asked.
For seven days, in order to preserve his vitality as much as possible, Wu Xin did not let the army collect the mountains of corpses.
Now, the blood has coagulated, most of the corpses have shriveled, some of the corpses have begun to putrefy, and flies, corpse maggots and other disgusting things are rampant. Hell on earth is probably just like this.
