Normally, the master who kills the Dragon King gang should be called Colonel Tu Long, but the dragon generally represents the emperor. Unless it is a rebellion, no one dares to call him Dragon Slayer. Even Slaying Dragon is too high-profile. Captain Killing Snake is the best, and I guess it is the surviving one.
It means despising the Dragon King Gang as snakes.
The lieutenant commanded a battalion and had 2,000 soldiers under his command. This meant that from today on, Ye Chen could command 2,000 soldiers.
Although it may seem exaggerated, it is actually not unusual in this world.
Ye Chen's current strength is considered to be the top master in the entire world. Even if he has not made any achievements, just by joining the army alone, he can at least command a unit, which is a military system of battalion or lower, with about 500 people, and he can kill the Dragon King Gang.
It is not surprising that the three top players were promoted to the next level to lead a battalion.
We cannot use modern thinking to think about ancient times. In ancient times, strength was always respected. Masters with two stars or above were big figures in the whole world. They were the overlords wherever they were. Just like the Golden Rainbow Sword Gate where Ye Chen's body was born, it is said that
There is only one two-star top martial artist in the sect, who is still the previous leader and is now the great elder. He has long ceased to care about worldly affairs and is like an emperor.
What's more, the imperial court now needs to recruit experts to deal with the experts from the Dragon King Gang. How can it recruit experts without spending some money?
Early the next morning, Ye Chen took the seal issued by General Pingnan and headed to the south camp of the city, where his men, a newly formed battalion, were there.
To be precise, the battalion given to him has an old name, but it was crippled in a battle with the Dragon King Gang not long ago, with heavy casualties. Only 20 to 30% of the veterans are left, and the rest are all new recruits that were added not long ago, and the combat effectiveness is worrying.
This is also the main reason why he can easily obtain a complete battalion. How can it be so easy for a main battalion composed of veterans to be given to him.
Ye Chen didn't have any objections to this. Being able to command two thousand men was already very good. This allowed him to complete the plan faster.
In the military camp, force is respected, and the one with the big fist is the truth. He entered the military camp, knocked all the dissenters to the ground with his fists, and successfully took over the camp.
For the next period of time, he only did two things every day. One was to train these new recruits every day to further improve their combat effectiveness and prepare for the next plan; the second was to enter the military's Tibetan martial arts building and watch various battles.
Martial arts secrets.
With his current position as a captain, he is already a mid- to high-level officer in the army. He has great authority. He can study martial arts of one star or below without having to use meritorious service to redeem his qualifications.
Ye Chen was also furious now. He spent a whole month in the Military Cangwu Building and read through the few secret books in it, but the main ones were swordsmanship, knife skills, boxing skills, and light kung fu.
There are very few martial arts related to internal strength and mental skills in the army, and the most common is swordsmanship. Because the most suitable martial art for soldiers in the army is swordsmanship, so it is the most common.
But no matter how little it is, it is still relative. In fact, it is still quite a lot. He has read no less than thirty internal skills and mental methods alone. He has basically read all the internal skills and mental methods that can be seen.
There is no way, in this world, the most important thing in martial arts is internal strength and moves. If any martial arts wants to exert its maximum power, the internal strength must be strong. The stronger the internal strength, even ordinary moves will become more powerful, so he mustered up a breath and used them.
He had memorized all the internal skills and mental techniques that could be seen, and was going to call them all out in one breath when he had enough potential points. He was going to deduce a martial arts that was unprecedented in this world.
After a whole month, he had learned about martial arts and trained his army. Ye Chen asked General Pingnan for orders to go to the Yangtze River to wipe out the Dragon King Gang water bandits.
General Pingnan didn't want it, so he immediately agreed.
This is also the task of most of the captains of Pingnan Camp. Large-scale battles on the Yangtze River are unlikely. They are usually small armies fighting, so masters are particularly important.
In the early morning, there were vast smoke and white mist on the river. Apart from the fishing boats that got up early, they were the water bandits of the Dragon King Gang.
In the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there are no other scattered water bandit forces. They have all been integrated into the Dragon King Gang. Now even the court does not know how many people there are in the Dragon King Gang.
According to the news obtained from the army, the main force of the Dragon King Gang is now in Jinling and is entangled with the fleet commanded by the Jiangnan Navy Governor on the river. Therefore, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the entire southern camp of the imperial court is on the defensive.
"Captain Ye, in front of you is the Dragon King Gang's Tongjiang Water Village, which is occupied by thousands of water bandits."
On the warship, Ye Chen's deputy, a real officer, was pointing to a water village in front of him to introduce it to him.
The scale of this water stronghold is much larger than the water stronghold he encountered before. The water stronghold he saw before only had fifty or sixty people guarding it. This one has thousands of people. It is one of the most important water strongholds of the Dragon King Gang. There are ten people inside.
One of the three incense masters, Tongjiang Shuiyuan Wang Yuanshi, led the guard.
Looking at the huge water village, Ye Chen was excited. Each one of them was full of potential points. There were thousands of people in the water village. After a battle, one or two hundred potential points would be gained. If you were more ruthless, you could get more.
for example....
"Get ready!"
He gave the order lightly, and the adjutant beside him immediately cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and shouted:
"The captain has an order, everyone is ready!"
A soldier at the bow of the ship immediately waved the flag in his hand into different shapes. This was a semaphore. In ancient times, there were no such things as telephones. Command on the water relied on semaphore. The flag waved in different ways, representing different commands.
The adjutant issued different orders one after another, and the flags continued to change. Then more than a dozen warships spread out in a straight line and rushed towards the water stronghold.
His adjutant is now very dedicated to assisting him. Before departure, Ye Chen told him that he would only stay here for a while. Please help me well and recommend you to take over my position when I leave. That's why they
Meet and cooperate.
Ye Chen is self-aware. He has great martial arts skills, but he is a novice when it comes to military command. It is better to leave this kind of thing to professionals and just concentrate on developing his potential points.
With the protection of the army, he can justly kill the Dragon King and help the water bandits without fear of being besieged. This is one of the main reasons why he decisively joined the Dayan army. The lack of temper when he was besieged before made him very angry, and he never wanted to do it again.
That's the situation.
Without the imaginary shouting, the army fleet rushed directly into the water stronghold, and the battle was about to break out.
"Rumble..."
More than a dozen warships rushed onto the pier, making a loud noise. A large number of soldiers jumped off the ships and rushed into the water village, shouting. Then the adjutant ordered all the warships to attack horizontally, and fired wildly with the help of crossbows and archers on the ship.
Ye Chen waited for the army to attack for a while and got into a complete melee with the Dragon King gang of water bandits before pulling out a brand new black long sword from his waist. The previous hundred-forged green-edged sword was almost scrapped after many battles. This one is for the army.
The quality of the sword is better than that of the Hundred Forged Qingfeng Sword. The sharpness has not changed much, but the texture is stronger.
