Qin Yuan stood on a mountain top, looking down at the company camp below, which had already turned into a sea of fire.
This time, after opening Pingyun County's external commercial channels and purchasing a large amount of military logistics supplies.
Qin Yuan and Bai Qi led the four reorganized legions and started the Northern Expedition.
This Northern Expedition was Qin Yuan's careful decision.
It's not because of the imperial court's will.
It is also the best development direction for Qin Yuan.
After all, there is no chaos in the Central Plains yet. He has occupied Pingyun County, which is the final bottom line for the imperial court.
Or if he dares to touch other counties, let alone the imperial court, even Gongsun Fu, the prefect of Shanggu County, will not let Qin Yuan go.
Therefore, the only way to expand territorial power is outside the Great Wall.
It happened that the Wuhuan tribe's plan to plot Pingyun County was discovered by Qin Yuan, and a grudge between the two parties was forged.
In these days of preparation.
Qin Yuan not only opened a number of external business channels and established a complete chain of interests with players, but also arranged the Wuhuan tribe's large formation in Pingyun County to crack together.
With the joint efforts of Bai Qi, Liu Bowen, Yang Ming, Zhao Shuhuai and others, more than a hundred village-like strongholds on the border of Pingyun County were wiped out, and about 10,000 Wuhuan soldiers were destroyed.
After that, the formation used to absorb the energy of Qi and blood and resurrect Zhu Jiuyin will be destroyed without any attack.
Therefore, the crisis in Pingyun County has basically been resolved, and Qin Yuan can rest assured about the Northern Expedition.
Except Liu Bowen and Zhao Shuhuai stayed in Pingyun County, Qin Yuan led Bai Qi, Yang Ming and the four legions composed of 400,000 troops to carry out the Northern Expedition.
Among these 400,000 troops, the lowest-strength ones are all second-level advanced units, and there are countless elite units and special units.
After Qin Yuan destroyed the 300,000 Wuhuan troops in Pingyun County, he gained three million points.
And in the exchange mall.
The exchange price for an advanced soldier (level 2) is ten points.
The exchange price for an elite soldier (level 3) is fifty points.
The exchange price for a special soldier (level 4) is 300 points.
The exchange price for a legendary soldier (level 5) is 2,000 points.
After some careful consideration, Qin Yuan exchanged five thousand tiger and leopard warriors for five thousand fierce flames.
Although if you exchange for advanced or elite arms, the number of arms will be more.
But the more troops there are, the more resources will be consumed, which is something he must consider.
Moreover, although the number of special arms is small, their combat effectiveness is very powerful.
Qin Yuan's plan for the development of the army must be along the line of elite troops.
The quality of a soldier's strength lies in his strength, not in his numbers.
And it is very difficult to cultivate an army composed of special arms from scratch.
Like advanced arms and elite arms, the process from recruitment to training is relatively simple.
However, special arms such as the Tiger and Leopard War Cavalry not only require tigers as mounts, but also require a minimum strength of level four.
These two points alone are enough to put people off.
It is worth mentioning that in the past two days, Bai Qi led his army into the Yanshan Mountains.
Although it was in the name of military training, it was actually to find a suitable mount.
I just happened to find a group of tigers, and after spending some money, I finally conquered them.
More than 10,000 tigers were obtained.
Some white-horse followers who had reached the fourth level of strength were successfully converted into tiger and leopard warriors.
Now the strength of the fourth-level special unit Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has reached 20,000!
But the combat power is far more than 100,000 Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry!
This is the advantage of a powerful army.
An army of ten thousand people is better than an army of millions!
And this is only part of the army Qin Yuan led this time.
The current size of the four major legions is as follows:
Azure Dragon Legion: full cavalry camp, 200 Azure Dragon Royal Foresters, 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and 80,000 Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry!
White Tiger Legion: Mainly composed of chariot soldiers, 50,000 chariot soldiers, over 3,000 chariots, 20,000 White Dragon Spear King, 30,000 shield archers and cavalry mixed together!
Suzaku Legion: Mainly composed of crossbowmen, 60,000 archers, 20,000 cavalry, and 20,000 shield infantry!
Xuanwu Legion: Mainly composed of shield guards, 80,000 shield infantry (royal guards, strong shield warriors, black shield warriors), and 20,000 archers, chariots and cavalry mixed together!
In this way, the four most powerful legions under Qin Yuan were formed.
The soldiers in the legion are all the best among the best.
Moreover, after reorganizing and running in, as well as Bai Qi's training, the four legions have initially formed military souls.
As for the large and small military formations, it is no longer a problem.
And the commanders of the major legions.
Qin Yuan serves as the commander of the Qinglong Legion.
Bai Qi serves as the commander of the White Tiger Army.
Liu Bowen served as the acting commander of the Xuanwu Legion.
Yaoyinsheng Niu Shuxing provides the acting chief and deputy commander of the Suzaku Legion.
Except for Qin Yuan, the positions of the other three army commanders are likely to change.
Bai Qi is using his blood-clad guards to form a God-killing Army, and the position of commander of the White Tiger Army will be stepped down.
Moreover, he is an excellent commander and is not limited to commanding one or two legions.
Like this night attack, Bai Qi once again assumed the position of commander-in-chief and commanded the four legions to jointly fight at the same time.
As for Liu Bowen, Yao Yinsheng and others, they are the temporary army commanders.
After other outstanding generals appear, they will serve as army commanders.
After all, Liu Bowen was a counselor, and it was more suitable for a military general to serve as the commander of the army.
Yaoyinsheng Niu Shuxing, like Qin Yuan, had a rough background. Although he changed his profession and became a first-class military commander, his current strength is still a little too weak.
And compared with famous generals in history, their abilities in all aspects are also much worse.
"Having Bai Zeling is convenient!"
"It's easy to teleport an army of 400,000 people at once!"
"Cooperating with Yang Ming's hidden formation, he appeared outside the Great Wall without anyone noticing!"
Qin Yuan looked at the battlefield below and said with a smile.
He travels to and from Youzhou outside the Great Wall, so naturally he cannot wait for the Baize Mist to appear randomly like the Wutu tribe.
Instead, he got two real Bai Ze Lings from the Yun family.
These two Baize Tokens can be used an unlimited number of times, and the cooling time only takes one day.
There is no limit to the number of people who can be teleported, and the teleportation location can be chosen at any point in the Yanshan Mountains.
This is the reason why the Yun family is able to spread its business beyond the Great Wall of Youzhou.
Even, the strongest point is.
If you go from the east of Youzhou to the west of Youzhou, even if you can use some county-level teleportation arrays, the journey will take a month or two.
But with Bai Zeling, you can arrive quickly.
First teleport from the east of Youzhou to a location outside the Great Wall, and then set the return location to the west of Youzhou covered by the Yanshan Mountains.
It is possible to cross the east and west of a state in one day.
This is Bai Zeling's strongest point.
And Qin Yuan now holds two Baize Lings in his hand, and he can do it again and again without even waiting for the cooling time.
"The success of this night attack must be attributed to Mr. Yang Ming!"
Bai Qi on the side smiled.
Being able to teleport an army of 400,000 was the credit of Bai Zeling.
The whereabouts of these 400,000 troops were hidden from the Wutu tribe, thanks to the concealment formation arranged by Yang Ming.
The coverage range of this formation is no less than that of Bai Qi's Ultimate Ten Thousand Formation.
"This is what I should do!"
Yang Ming said modestly.
If it were before, he might have been a little arrogant in front of Qin Yuan.
I think that with his ability, Qin Yuan is absolutely inseparable.
Even if he no longer wants to be loyal to Qin Yuan, he can leave at any time.
But since Bai Qi and Liu Bowen suddenly appeared, Yang Ming felt a crisis.
The strength and abilities of these two people are not weaker than his.
Even better than him in many aspects.
It has a great effect on Qin Yuan.
Unlike him, he has the instinct of divination and formation, but this is not particularly helpful in the development of a force.
And because the senior brothers lost contact outside the Great Wall, they were also related to Wuhuan and Zhu Jiuyin.
This forced him to rely on Qin Yuan's power to help his senior brother.
This is also the reason why Yang Ming changed his past laziness and worked hard under Qin Yuan.
He stayed awake for many days and nights, and with the help of one person, he set up this formation that could hide hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Don't worry, it's your fault, and it won't be less than a cent!"
Qin Yuan looked at Yang Ming.
Qin Yuan knew a thing or two about Yang Ming's motives.
But he was not dissatisfied at all.
Anyway, in the adult world, it's all about interests.
In the past, Qin Yuan might have been dissatisfied with Yang Ming for wanting to use him and borrow his power to do things.
But now that his own strength has become stronger, and with the help of Bai Qi and Liu Bowen, his horizons and situation have been completely opened.
Even without Yang Ming's help, Qin Yuan would not feel lost!
As for Yang Ming being loyal to him sincerely, Qin Yuan would certainly not mind, and he was not afraid that Yang Ming had ulterior motives.
At the foot of the mountain.
The camps stretching for dozens of miles have been submerged by a black wave.
Not long after, a large, beautiful flame shot up into the sky and quickly connected into one, igniting most of the tent.
With the arrival of an army of 400,000 this time, just commanding and mobilizing the various armies is not a simple matter.
What's more, they have to face an enemy numbering as many as one million, and the battlefield spans dozens of miles.
If it were Qin Yuan, there would be no way he could do it.
But for Bai Qi, this kind of thing is still child's play, and he can command it easily.
Almost every minute and every second, he was able to accurately analyze and respond to the intelligence coming from the front line.
He can seize every opportunity on the battlefield very well.
The most important thing is that he can coordinate the four legions closely to form complete cooperation.
If Liu Bowen had the Xingluo chessboard, he could have an overview of the entire battlefield.
But Bai Qi did not have this treasure, but the map of the entire battlefield was presented in Bai Qi's mind in detail, and it was updated every moment.
On the battlefield.
The cavalry in the middle section took the lead in charging, tearing through the enemy's defense line and quickly opening up the situation.
Twenty thousand tiger and leopard warriors swarmed into the enemy camp, followed closely by tens of thousands of black wolf emperor cavalry.
The Wuhuan tribe, which has always been famous for its cavalry, was actually overwhelmed by a terrifying and powerful cavalry force.
When the Azure Dragon Legion opened up the situation, the enemy camp fell into panic.
The Suzaku Legion launched a frantic strafing attack on the enemy camp, among which the most ferocious attack was the attack of thousands of flamethrowers.
The flaming arrows soared into the sky, and when they fell to the ground, they quickly ignited the enemy's tents, warehouses, and grain and grass. A sea of fire quickly formed and was spreading at a terrifying speed.
Then the Xuanwu Legion quickly followed up. Although the Xuanwu Legion was mainly composed of shield guards, except for the black shield armored warriors who were not good at attacking, the elite-level strong shield warriors and the special-armed emperor's personal guards had very high attack power. It can be said that it is both offensive and defensive, and its combat power is invincible.
The Xuanwu Legion was like a steel shield wall, pressing against the Wutu tribe's army. At the same time, it blocked some enemy troops from trying to counterattack.
More than an hour has passed since the fighting broke out.
The battle between the two sides on the battlefield became increasingly fierce.
Although Wutu's army reacted, and Wuye and other senior officials commanded the army to resist and counterattack.
However, facing several menacing legions, they were retreating steadily.
Twenty thousand tiger and leopard warriors were in the enemy camp and had been killing for several rounds, dividing the dozens of miles of camp into more than a dozen battlefields.
Ho ho ho!
Ouch!
A division of tigers and wolves was raging in the enemy camp, charging and unstoppable.
Although most of the Wutu tribe's troops were cavalry, the collision between cavalry and cavalry resulted in a disastrous defeat every time.
The gap between the two sides is like a world of difference!
"How on earth was this cavalry trained?"
Wuye said with a trembling voice.
Even if he sent out the most powerful elite cavalry in the Wutu tribe, he was overrun by this cavalry in a single encounter, and was killed to the point of being completely routed.
The forces he formed to fight against the enemy were all defeated one by one.
And this is just a part of the enemy army.
The indestructible shield wall was compressing the strategic depth of the Wutu army step by step, as if it was pushing them into an abyss of eternal destruction.
In addition, the constant rain of arrows from the sky caused great casualties to the soldiers of the Wutu tribe. Most of the newly assembled army suffered casualties before they had time to launch an attack.
"Young leader, the enemy is so powerful that our soldiers are no match for us!"
"Moreover, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and they have occupied the right time and place. If the attack continues like this, everyone may die here!"
An elder of the Wutu tribe said bluntly, "We'd better mobilize our troops to retreat quickly. If we don't retreat, it will be too late!"
"Yes, in addition to strength, the enemy's cooperation is quite good. The first movement of the army directly hits our vital points!"
Another person said, "The strength of both sides is really too great!"
This is not just a gap in military strength.
The gap between the commanding abilities of the two commanders is also very obvious.
Even Wutu's every step of counterattack seemed to be seen by the enemy.
When he made a slight counterattack, the enemy anticipated it and attacked him directly.
It can be seen that the enemy commander has calculated the entire battlefield situation, development, and next move.
The person he fought with was definitely a military god level figure.
"The opponent's general, could these be the Three Great Masters of the Han Dynasty?"
Wuye said in shock.
At this time, Wuye didn't care much about the words of several senior officials, including the accusations and belittling of him.
Instead, he was guessing who the person he was fighting against was.
I am afraid that the only people with such military command capabilities are the three outstanding military generals in the imperial court, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun!
These three people had extremely high prestige and excellent strategies. They quelled the wars in various places and stabilized the overall situation. They made great contributions and brought short-term stability to the turbulent and troubled times of the late Han Dynasty!
Without these three people to stabilize the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that the Han Dynasty would have fallen decades earlier.
