A group of ghost soldiers with strong arms gathered together, numbering five thousand.
These people held fishbone bows more than one meter long in their hands, and the bow strings were almost transparent strings.
The bows and strings of the ghost tribe are taken from fish under the ice, which is completely different from the bows and arrows of the Central Plains people.
This kind of bow and arrow has a very long range and very good penetration.
Li Chengdao stood on the high platform and watched the ghost soldiers slowly gather, led by a woman.
This woman is a ghost general of the Yue generation, named Yue Xi. She is tall, has long arms, and is good at using bows and arrows.
Among the ghost tribe, there are not many who are good at using bows and arrows, and there are even fewer ghost generals who are good at using bows and arrows. Yuexi is actually one of them.
In Yuexi's hand is a red bow, which is made of a fish bone called blood fish. When the wind is favorable, the range can reach two miles.
After infusing it with Qi, the range can be further.
Of course, if the range is far enough, the eyesight must also be good enough.
Beyond a certain distance, you can't see clearly, and the target will move, so the rate of fire is only so high, no matter how far it is, it's useless.
Yue Xi watched Li Chengdao command the team to assemble with cold eyes, his face expressionless.
During this time, Li Chengdao was intensively adjusting the team of ghost soldiers.
A vanguard army has just been formed, and a crossbow battalion has been formed to train ghost soldiers who are good at archery.
These ghost soldiers and ghost generals are very uncomfortable.
They usually travel alone in the ice fields, with at most a dozen people working together to hunt some large fish. They have never seen or even heard of a battle formation involving tens of thousands of people.
"Each team has a thousand people, divided into five teams!"
Li Chengdao shouted loudly with his true energy, and he had to suppress the wind in order for others to hear him.
The team at the bottom was very unorganized and slowly separated into teams.
The ghost soldiers are not sensitive to numbers. They don't know exactly how many people a thousand people are. This is the most troublesome part.
Li Chengdao had a headache. The training of ghost soldiers was far more troublesome than he thought.
He thought about selecting generals from human warriors, letting human generals lead these ghost soldiers, and teach these ghost soldiers how to fight.
However, several of the generals he selected had disappeared within a short time of arriving, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Li Chengdao knew very well that those human generals were cut into pieces and eaten by the ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers looked down on the human race, and even Li Chengdao only obeyed the command for the sake of the Martial Saint and the ghost girl.
If not for this, Li Chengdao would not be able to command these ghost soldiers at all.
"We have fought with Long Chen several times, and each time we suffered losses in long-range attacks. Long Chen has a musketry battalion and an artillery battalion. The weapons are as small as pills and faster than crossbows. We can't see them with the naked eye, but their penetrating power is extremely strong.
, after being hit, they were almost always killed.”
"I chose you as the crossbow battalion to restrain Long Chen's firearms. Don't laugh around, you are the key to victory or defeat!"
Li Chengdao could not force these ghost soldiers to obey his command, he could only use emotion and reason.
However, most of these ghost soldiers had never experienced combat and had no idea what the muskets and artillery Li Chengdao mentioned were, let alone how powerful the firearms were.
The ghost soldiers didn't take it seriously and continued to move slowly.
Li Chengdao had no choice but to ask the demon spirit to come out several times and ask her to order rectification.
When the demon was there, the ghost soldiers were in better order. After the demon left, the ghost soldiers began to be chaotic and disobedient again.
Moreover, Li Chengdao felt that the demon spirit was conniving with the ghost soldiers and deliberately making them disobey orders.
This shows her majesty as the high priest of the ghost tribe.
She wanted Li Chengdao, Wu Sheng, Ghost Girl, and all the ghost soldiers to see clearly that only she, the high priest Demon Spirit, could command and dispatch the ghost soldiers. Li Chengdao was just a dog slave, and he had no authority to command the ghost soldiers.
Li Chengdao had no choice but to walk down from the high platform, came to Yue Xi's side, and said, "General Yuexi, could you please divide the team into five teams? We don't have much time."
Yuexi looked arrogant, not even looking at the general, and said coldly: "Your Majesty asked you to train troops, but you ordered me to train troops. What does General Li mean?"
Li Chengdao felt disgusted in his heart and wished he could slap this Yuexi to death.
But there is no way, Yuexi is the second generation of ghost generals, and is highly valued by demon spirits.
The leadership of these ghost soldiers depends on Yue Xi.
"General Yuexi, I am an outsider, and the saint warriors do not obey my orders, as you have seen."
"Let me tell the truth. Although we belong to different races, we have the same enemy."
"General Yuexi must have heard how powerful Long Chen is. The saint warriors have already suffered heavy casualties."
"These soldiers have never experienced battles. Long Chen's men are all elite soldiers who have fought in many battles. If they don't strengthen their training, I'm afraid the battlefield will be very tragic."
Li Chengdao wanted to reason with Yuexi.
How the battle between Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng went, everyone knows that Li Chengdao thought Yuexi could understand the truth.
Yue Xi looked unhappy and said angrily: "Li Chengdao, what do you mean? Are you saying that our saint warriors are not as good as humans?"
"In the battle between Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng, my holy race was just ambushed. The human race is just a lowly fish. Who are they?"
In the eyes of ghosts, fish means livestock. Yuexi treats humans as livestock and looks down upon them completely.
Yue Xi was even more contemptuous of Long Chen in Li Chengdao's words.
Li Chengdao was very surprised. The battles between Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng were so brutal. How could Yuexi find the courage to say that Long Chen couldn't do it?
What went wrong?
Li Chengdao doesn’t understand why?
This is related to the propaganda of the demon spirits, because the two battles between Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng were very fierce, and the ghost tribe suffered a heavy defeat.
The demon spirit was worried that morale would be damaged, so he deliberately said that Long Chen was not very good. The two times were not defeats, but just ambushes, and the ghost clan temporarily retreated, that's all.
Therefore, Yuexi and the new ghost soldiers did not know how powerful Long Chen was, and they both despised Long Chen and looked down on the human race.
"Your Majesty asks you to lead the Saint Clan, so you must stand on the side of the Saint Clan and don't think about your beams and the Human Clan."
Yue Xiyi ordered and reprimanded Li Chengdao. Li Chengdao suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around and walked towards the Ice Palace.
I have no choice but to turn to the devil for help at this time.
When they arrived at the Ice Palace, the maid at the door stopped Li Chengdao. Li Chengdao explained the purpose of her visit. The maid said coldly: "The priest said that she has to serve Her Majesty the Queen and has no time to listen to you about military training."
The demon deliberately told the maid not to let the maid pass on Li Chengdao.
After being rejected, Li Chengdao felt extremely aggrieved.
At this point, the superiors and subordinates are still not on the same page, which is the way to defeat.
Li Chengdao hated that iron could not become steel.
"Perhaps, they still need a disastrous defeat."
Li Chengdao glanced at the Ice Palace and felt funny in his heart.
The ghost tribe is too arrogant. Only another disastrous defeat can make the ghost tribe face reality.
Li Chengdao also needed a disastrous defeat from the ghost clan, causing Wu Sheng and the ghost girl to suffer heavy losses in the battle. Li Chengdao took the opportunity to devour the two of them and replace them as the master of the ghost clan.
However, when the ghost clan was hit hard, Long Chen must also be hit hard to weaken Da Zhou's strength.
Only in this way can you reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
If the ghost clan was severely damaged and Long Chen won a complete victory, Li Chengdao would be defeated with the remaining soldiers in his hands, and it would be impossible to defeat Long Chen.
It was out of this consideration that Li Chengdao worked hard and conscientiously to train troops for Wu Sheng.
Otherwise, Li Chengdao would not have lost face in training, and it was not him who died anyway.
Back at the camp, the five thousand crossbowmen were still in a mess, and Yuexi didn't know where they were.
"Your Majesty and the King have an order for me to train troops. If you don't obey my order, you are disobeying the order."
"From now on, everyone listens to my orders. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be killed!"
Li Chengdao scolded loudly and uttered harsh words.
With the banner of Martial Saint Ghost Girl, the ghost soldiers below were slightly better, and they were divided into five teams according to Li Chengdao's instructions.
