Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth the success of the new army
Although he did not attack the Xizhou Monster Clan, Lin Xiao was still very busy. While he was sorting out the history of the world of immortality, he was also sorting out his own memoirs, and he did not let go of the alliance matters.
Among the affairs of the alliance, Lin Xiao paid attention to matters in the past two years. The first thing was the financial resources of the alliance. To fight a war is to fight for money. This sentence is by no means a simple statement. Without financial resources, Lin Xiao could not accomplish anything, and
The second thing is to organize and train the new army on a large scale.
The two things complement each other, and financial resources are the top priority. Previously, the Southern Continent Alliance had a large number of monster beast corpses. After more than a year of digestion, the flesh and blood of the monster beasts have been completely consumed. After all, this thing does not require much technology.
Recruit a large number of low-level casual cultivators to do this.
The flesh and blood of these demonic beasts were sold in various places in Central Continent in exchange for a large amount of spiritual rice and low-level elixirs, allowing Lin Xiao to gradually distribute military merit rewards and death compensation to various countries, and also gave various countries a chance to breathe. After a year passed,
When the spiritual rice harvest in Nanzhou begins, the spiritual rice crisis will be over.
However, at this time, the alliance still did not have many resources, and even owed a large amount of rewards and pensions to various countries. Making money became Lin Xiao's most important thing.
Because society has suffered a lot of damage and trade has shrunk, Lin Xiao does not think that he can earn a lot of wealth through trade. At least the model of Paradise Villa is no longer viable. No one has the spare money to spend now.
Therefore, Lin Xiao still had to farm diligently, and land was the most indispensable for Lin Xiao. More than 10 million monks from the sects were killed in the battle in Nanzhou, leaving a lot of land vacant. Not only did the number of people in each sect decrease,
We also need to maintain a huge armament, and it can be said that there is no manpower to plant and produce.
Lin Xiao still had the idea of rogue cultivators. Although rogue cultivators had killed millions of people in battle, there were still tens of millions of rogue cultivators in Nanzhou. Most of these people did not have the courage to go into battle, but when it came to farming, they
Definitely a good player.
There are also some teams or individuals with considerable financial resources among the casual cultivators. Lin Xiao's first step is still to sell the vacated Lingshan Mountain to them. Not only will they reap their wealth, but it will also enrich the strength of the sect or family. Since they want to open
The Zongli sect must change its past life style and integrate into the big family of the Southern Continent Alliance, otherwise it will be impossible to live in Southern Continent.
The second step was to recruit casual cultivators to farm. Lin Xiao issued an order to recruit five million casual cultivators in one go, and then transferred more than 30,000 professional spiritual cultivators or farming experts from various sects in various countries to conduct training on these casual cultivators.
A short training session, teaching them high-level spiritual cultivation skills at a very low price.
Then he asked Wanju to arrange for these five million people to plant spiritual grains, elixirs, spiritual hemp and other spiritual things in various unowned lands. Lin Xiao didn't care about the specifics. In short, there was only one requirement. All spiritual fields could not be left empty.
, there must be production.
This matter was handled together with various sects from various countries. Within a year, crops that could grow in a year, such as Linggu, had been harvested. After paying the salary of the five million casual cultivators, there was still a lot of profit.
Moreover, those low-level elixirs with a cycle of several years have not yet been harvested. Once harvested, the profits will be even greater.
The second important financial source comes from the Nanzhou Factory. Lin Xiao previously established the Nanzhou Factory according to the model of the Wu Kingdom Factory to refine the alchemy weapon array.
The refining is extremely outstanding. After all, there are countless monster materials that can be used to create millions of first- to third-level magic weapons.
Some of these magical weapons were sold to the merchants of the Southern Continent Alliance to earn profits, and the other part were used to equip the Southern Continent army. Lin Xiao had already thought about training a new army and had been making preparations.
In one year, Lin Xiao organized and trained five million new troops, divided them into five armies, and assigned them five numbers: Yangwu, Rongwu, Wuyi, Huben, and Xuanjia. Each number was assigned a military flag.
, and has its own slogans, war songs and uniform costumes.
There were also changes in the organizational structure, with ten people forming a team, a hundred people forming a troop, a thousand people forming a qu, and ten thousand people forming a camp. Their leaders were respectively the leader of the team, the corps commander, the qu commander, and the school lieutenant.
Five battalions are one army, which is called the commander. Above the twenty armies are the five armies of Yangwu. In fact, these five armies are equivalent to the establishment of a group army. Each group army has a vanguard, left, right, front, center, etc., with various names.
, the leader of the five armies became the general.
The general must be a monk at the golden body stage or above. This was originally the bottom line. However, in addition to supporting the monks and the Qin State, Nanzhou now has very few golden body stage monks. Lin Xiao can't get enough. In desperation, he can only let Ye Nanyu
He and Li Muxue occupied two positions, and the remaining three positions were all given to the Golden Body Stage monks from Tianyue Sect, Feitian Sect and Taiyi Sect.
It's just that Tan Mingzong of Tianyue Sect is only a virtual leader, and the person in power is Tan Minghua. Although Feitian Sect and Taiyi Sect sent people over, their command level is not high. Lin Xiao only temporarily let them take charge, and the real ones are in power.
Or Bai Zichen and other monks in the Divine Void Stage.
It seems that Bai Zichen and the others also suffered a loss in terms of their cultivation level. Otherwise, with their ability, they would have no problem in commanding an army alone. It would be more than enough. Lin Xiao could only wait for their cultivation level to improve before they could increase their value.
Since it was necessary to formalize it, Lin Xiao adopted a salary system for the new army. Of course, in the world of immortality, it is called salary. It is paid on a monthly basis, also called monthly salary. From small soldiers to generals, there are corresponding salary levels. They are no longer based on the previous salary system.
Cultivation is divided into different positions.
In addition to their salary, these monks who join the army also have some additional income. For example, if they perform meritorious service and win a battle, they will receive some rewards, but the reward amount is not as large as before.
In addition to rewards, there are also subsidies. The five armies of Yangwu include multiple arms, such as cavalry riding dragon horses, artillerymen operating Xuanjing cannon, and air force controlling flying ships and warships. Each has its own characteristics according to the degree of danger.
Certain subsidies.
In order to equip these units, Lin Xiao also spent a lot of effort. Each army has 50,000 dragon horses, 1,000 mysterious crystal cannons of different grades, God-destroying crossbows, 500 flying boats, and five warships.
In order to equip them with these, Lin Xiao almost collected all the untrained troops.
In addition to cavalry, artillery, and air force, Lin Xiao also adjusted the proportion of battle formations. The old and new battle formations are about 1:15. An army with one million people has about 300,000 new battle formations and 450,000 new battle formations.
After all the traditional battle formations, the rest are the other arms.
Just to set up these organizational structures, Lin Xiao and a large group of people spent two months, and then spent another half a year, letting them practice day and night. Lin Xiao was also preparing enough robes and armor for them.
Various resources such as magical talismans, flying boats and warships, elixirs and elixirs.
All kinds of things were done together, so in the past year, Lin Xiao never rested for a minute. He was busy every day. In one year, the new army was trained.
This is an army completely different from any era. They have thoughts and consciousness. Lin Xiao has been instilling in them the concept of fighting for the human race and fighting for Nanzhou. They are also an organized and equipped army. Lin Xiao will
All the resources at hand were thrown at them, and the equipment on each of them was no worse than that of the core disciples of the major sects.
Moreover, Lin Xiao also carefully prepared dozens of martial arts and martial arts for them and promoted them for free. The grades of these martial arts and martial arts will not be lower than the top grade of Xuan level. Once the position reaches a certain level, they can practice earth level and even heaven level.
This skill alone is enough to make countless monks jealous, because even in Tianyue Sect, the first sect in Southern Continent, it is extremely difficult to practice high-level skills and martial arts.
All sects in various countries regard Kung Fu and martial arts as the key to monopolizing cultivation. Their background, qualifications, contributions, etc. must be examined. Only after passing various inspections can they practice higher-level Kung Fu and martial arts. Lin Xiao is
This rule is directly broken.
After the new army is trained, it will naturally be put into actual combat. Only actual combat can test the results of Lin Xiao's strategy and convince all countries. At the same time, it also requires them to take action against the demon clan of Xizhou, hunt the demon beasts, and earn resources.
So Lin Xiao asked the Yangwu and Rongwu armies to march into the Murong Kingdom and assume the defense tasks on the main battlefield, while the Wu Yi, Huben and Xuanjia armies marched into the northern battlefield of the Qin Kingdom to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
The armies of monks in these two places began to rotate and recuperate, and at the same time implemented Lin Xiao's streamlining strategy, eliminating all the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, leaving only the elite. Otherwise, the huge expenditure would be enough to crush the alliance's financial resources.
Among them, the target of elimination was most of the casual cultivators and supporting monks. Among these people, only the monks above the Daogang stage were what Lin Xiao wanted. The rest Lin Xiao paid their rewards and pensions and let them go.
Even those Xizhou monks, Lin Xiao, let them go.
After many rounds of rotation and elimination, only 12 million troops, 5 million main forces, and 7 million traditional troops were left on the entire northern front of Nanzhou, plus the 3 million troops on the wild front line of Nanzhou.
The entire southern continent maintains 15 million troops.
According to Lin Xiao's assumption, when there is peace after the war, these five armies will be in the hands of the alliance and will be responsible for the defense forces of all parties. As for the rest, they will be transferred to the troops of various sects and have nothing to do with the alliance.
After the new army assumed the heavy responsibility, they began to test their combat effectiveness. Each army began to take turns to attack in small units. The effect was extraordinary. In one month, tens of millions of monsters were killed, giving
The Xizhou Monster Clan dealt a heavy blow.
Because they were all in squad mode, the wise monsters on the opposite side were not aware of it at first. It was not until about a month later that they realized that the losses of the monsters under their command were too great. They quickly reported to the high-level monster king and finally reported the situation to
The Dragon King.
The Dragon King couldn't figure out why the human race's combat power soared even though there were fewer men and horses. However, the death of a large number of low-level monsters still made him extremely angry, so the Dragon King launched a large-scale counterattack, attacking two
Ground defense line.
Under Lin Xiao's order, the traditional army assumed the defense task, while the five million new troops stepped out of the defense line. Lin Xiao led the monks above the eighth level to contain the corresponding demon king of the opponent. During the half-month-long fight, five
The millions of new troops not only blocked an army of hundreds of millions of demonic beasts, but also killed more than 50 million demonic beasts, and grabbed as many as 20 to 30 million demonic beast corpses. This result made Xiu Xiu
Everyone in the immortal world looked at them sideways, and all the forces took a second look at these new armies.
