In Yanmen, Bingzhou, Zhang Liao, as a direct descendant of the Zhang family, had a good background. He also became a captain in the army, which he did with his ability.
From being a senior officer, he was promoted to a captain all the way. Although the Zhang family was behind this, he was confident that he could definitely become a captain even without a family.
It's just that the family promoted him much faster.
As a captain, he controlled an army of three thousand, Zhang's elite, including one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.
In the past few years in the Northland, he had fought many times with the alien races on the grasslands, which was a real experience.
However, in a short period of time, it was impossible for him to bring more troops.
But here on Taiping Road, it's different. As a general with experience in leading troops and recommended by his seniors, he is very valued here, especially in the army. Although here, in the army, he
His strength is not too strong, there are twenty or thirty people stronger than him.
But in terms of combat experience, no one present could compare with him. It is true that the Taiping Dao army had gone out to fight against bandits and bandits several times. However, those bandits and bandits were nothing in Zhang Liao's eyes.
What kind of.
It's not even as powerful as the rangers gathered together in the North.
Therefore, in Zhang Liao's eyes, the Taiping Dao army is still very young. The generals' personal strength is not bad, but their experience in leading troops in battle is far behind.
This is not Zhang Liao's arrogance. Taiping Road does have the heritage of military strategists, and he has begun to learn from it.
However, a military book is just a military book. Learning from books alone is not enough without experience. Only on the battlefield and experiencing the kind of fighting can one truly be called a commander.
He has come up step by step from a very young age and has a lot of experience in leading troops.
So after joining Taiping Dao, he was immediately promoted to be the commander-in-chief of one of the ten thousand troops. And now Taiping Dao, the army will increase again. In the next five years, it will increase to at least 500,000.
Once his cultivation reaches the golden elixir level, he can become a general commanding a hundred thousand soldiers.
The commander-in-chief of an army of 100,000 was only achieved by his grandfather. Zhang Liao naturally yearned for such a commander-in-chief.
Moreover, he also imagined that in the future he would command an army of 100,000 people and conquer the northern grasslands for the Taiping Road. As the general of the north, Zhang Liao had endless hatred for the aliens in the grasslands.
After all, too many members of the Zhang family died at the hands of the aliens on the grassland, and both sides had blood feuds that could not be resolved.
It is a pity that there is no cavalry here. Of course, Zhang Liao also knows that the construction of cavalry is not that easy. The problem of war horses is one of the main constraints on the construction of cavalry in the Central Plains.
Taiping Road, he knew that there was no shortage of money and food, but there was definitely no source of war horses.
Fortunately, they are related to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family often goes out to the grasslands. Whether it is trading or direct plunder, the Zhang family has no shortage of cavalry.
The Zhang family only has 50,000 cavalry. It's not that they can't build more, but it's just that it's unnecessary. The cost of raising cavalry is too great.
Zhang's 50,000 cavalry troops are already too much to bear. If there are more, they just can't bear it.
The Zhang family has been struggling for thousands of years, let alone others.
Of course, Taiping Dao does not exist in this regard, Taiping Dao has money, Zhang Liao is very sure of this.
Tens of millions of tons of steel every year is a terrifying figure. In troubled times, the value of steel will skyrocket, as much as food.
As long as there are channels to purchase war horses, Taiping Dao will soon form cavalry, and in this regard, the Zhang family can cooperate.
And he has already sent the message back.
Soon after, Zhang will also bring a group of three thousand horses to form a cavalry, and he will lead this cavalry.
After all, the officers at Taiping Dao had no experience in leading cavalry, and he had actually commanded a thousand cavalry for several years.
This is experience.
Coming to Taiping Road, Zhang Liao went from being reluctant at the beginning to being happy now and has completely integrated into it.
Although he still has no interest in those sciences, he is still interested in the new artillery and muskets researched by Senior Brother Zhang Niujiao.
And whenever a new artillery is developed, they will seize the time to discuss the tactics of this artillery.
The tactics of artillery and firearms also affect the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion.
After all, this is the first time this thing has appeared. There is no relevant information in the inheritance of military books, so they completely rely on their own exploration.
Zhang Liao was also quite interested in this.
After all, the power brought by the artillery shocked him. The magic that was comparable to that of a monk had a longer range than a bow and arrow crossbow.
Zhang Liao also saw a lot of scenes of hundreds of cannons firing volleys, but every time, he felt excited. If it was a volley of thousands or even tens of thousands of cannons, wouldn't it be like the landslide and the earth shattering?
I'm afraid even the Golden Pill God Refiner would be seriously injured under those thousands of cannons.
Now, he is at home in this valley and doesn't think about anything else. Zhang Liao didn't care at all about the senior's departure. Instead, he was very grateful. If the senior hadn't brought him here, he still wouldn't have known.
Liu Han still has such a treasure.
,,,,,,
Naturally, Su Fan didn't know what Zhang Liao was thinking. After leaving the valley where Taiping Road was located, Su Fan first went to Liu Han's capital.
Luoyang, the divine capital, is the largest city in Liu Han, a city worth over ten million.
Of course, it is still worse than the Xianyang City of the past. After all, the Xianyang City of that year was not only full of various immortal formations, but in the end, Xianyang City even turned into a powerful magic weapon, an acquired spiritual treasure that had been refined for 100,000 years by the Great Qin Dynasty.
In the battle between humans and gods, the Great Qin Dynasty has two supreme magic weapons that have been tempered by the royal family of the Ying clan and their own energy and spirit.
One is the Twelve Golden Man, and the other is naturally Xianyang City.
Obviously, all the emperors of the Qin Dynasty had great ambitions. They began to prepare a hundred thousand years ago, and by the time Ying Zheng had officially completed the magic weapon.
The power is indeed extraordinary, and it brought a lot of trouble to the Emperor of Heaven during the battle between humans and gods.
After the war, the Twelve Golden Men were destroyed, and the magic weapon of Xianyang City was damaged a lot, but it was not completely shattered. However, this thing did not fall into the hands of Heaven.
After all, in terms of power, this magic weapon is comparable to the top acquired spiritual treasures. Except that it cannot be used to entrust three corpses, its power is not much different from the top innate spiritual treasures.
Only a peak dynasty like Great Qin could refine such a magic weapon. Even the Yin Shang Dynasty could not refine it.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Ying Zheng sent this magic weapon away and sent it to Huoyun Cave, where it became a spiritual treasure of the clan. ()
