empire wars

Chapter 54
On the third day of the closure of the city, the eight major legions had basically completed their establishment, and most of them were recruits.

The first to fill up was the Killing God Army. For the soldiers lost in the previous battle, Bai Qi quickly recruited suitable soldiers from the new barracks to supplement them.

Qin Yuan also set up a reserve battalion for Bai Qi, who usually eat, sleep and train together.

The second to complete is the Dragon Scale Army. Although the requirements for soldiers are relatively high, the Dragon Scale Army gives priority to recruits. From the tens of thousands of recruits, soldiers with cultivation talents are selected, and they have comprehended the body refining nine quenching skills one by one. , quickly formed an army of ten thousand people, and the next days would be devil-style training and non-stop practice day and night.

After that came the Qin Family Legion and the City Guard Legion. Most of the City Guard Legion was the private guards of each family. The original Qin Family Army soldiers had a certain foundation and were not weak. Among the four major armies of Xuanwu.

The Qin family's army recruited new recruits and accepted some private soldiers.

In addition, the four great beast legions selected soldiers according to the characteristics of each legion, and all of them were quickly assigned, followed by a one-month training.

For example, in the newly formed Qilin Legion, the soldiers in it are all talented in archery. They have learned the Consonant Archery training method, and conduct archery training in the school grounds every day. Over the Qilin Legion camp, you can see flying birds all over the sky. Arrows rained, and a whistling sound was heard breaking through the air.

Fortunately, the people in the city have now been recruited, a large number of military factories have been put into production, and a large number of arrows are produced every day, which meets the training needs of the Qilin Army.

In addition to the eight major legions, Qin Yuan also established a recruit camp. The recruits will be trained in the recruit camp for a period of time, and then they will be assigned to which legion they are suitable for.

Due to various restrictions, the number of the Dragon Scale Army and the God Killing Army can only be 1. If there are no casualties, no recruits will be recruited to join.

The Qin family army and the city guard army are completely sufficient to maintain public security in the city and defend Mingwu City, so there is no need to expand.

The initial number of the four great beast legions is set at 1, and will continue to expand in the future. As long as there are suitable soldiers, they will join the four great legions.

"Remember, the more you sweat in training, the less blood you bleed on the battlefield!"

"We are Qin Yuan's soldiers, fighting for the common people, for the Qin family, and for the lord!"

"Every piece of fairy rice we ate, every mouthful of vegetable soup we drank, every mouthful of fatty pork we ate was provided by Master Qin Yuan!"

"You can eat enough, and your family can eat enough. All of this is thanks to Lord Qin Yuan. It is he who provides you with all the food, so that you and your family have no worries about food and clothing!"

"After eating this bowl of fairy rice, we will all be Qin Yuan's people from now on!"

"."

In the barracks, while the soldiers were training, loud shouts came from all around, over and over again.

This was Qin Yuan's special order, especially to recruit a large number of young and middle-aged people from the common people, as well as the family members of various families, to undergo some training and ideological education.

The most important thing is ideological education, which is the so-called brainwashing. In the new barracks, accept the idea of ​​Qin Yuan as the main force, obeying orders, killing enemies bravely, and defending the country.

In the next few days, Qin Yuan has been managing military affairs, mainly the recruitment and training, distribution and management of recruits, as well as the family children and private soldiers sent by each family, all under unified management.

After many days of transformation, the military power of Mingwu City was completely in Qin Yuan's hands.

After the formation of the eight legions was completed, they were all stationed in the barracks in the north, and no forces or irrelevant people were allowed to enter or leave, and no one dared to pollute the army.

So far, the power of Mingwu City has reached its peak, there are more than [-] people,
The Dragon Scale Legion, the Killing God Legion, the Qilin Legion, the Azure Dragon Legion, the White Tiger Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, the Qin Family Legion, the City Guard Legion, and a reserve battalion for recruits.

"The Northern Qiang cavalry is camped outside the city?"

Qin Yuan led a group of generals to the top of the city gate.

There were still bloodstains on the ground, and the soldiers around were packing up the corpses, dealing with the wounded, cleaning up the battlefield, and there were broken arrows everywhere.

This time, Ming Wucheng faced Ma Qingbiao, the leader of a powerful tribe in the Ma clan of Northern Qiang.

Ma Zhenyong, who was killed in the Battle of Beilin City, was the son of this man.

In the past few days, the two sides have fought no less than twenty times. However, the enemy is basically tentative and the scale is not large. The most one time only invested 1 people.

Today's Mingwu City is like a copper wall and an iron wall. It is simply whimsical to attack the city head-on. Unless the Northern Qiang cavalry disregarded all casualties and used at least ten times the strength of the defenders in the city to fill it with human lives and continuously consume the soldiers in the city. It is possible to capture Mingwu City.

"Yes, the enemy's [-] Northern Qiang cavalry outside the city will attack the city at least three times a day, but they are all tentative attacks, mostly with bows and arrows."

Qin Yi looked into the distance, and on a mountain top, many tents had already been set up.

"Well, with the Qilin Legion in charge, if the enemy dares to approach, then I will teach them a hard lesson."

Qin Yuan said.

The Qilin Legion uses the Qilin Bow and Bailian Crossbow. The Qilin Bow not only has a super long strike distance, but also has superb archery skills.

You know, as a grassland nation, the Northern Qiang people are not only good at riding, but also good at archery. Even if they don't have large-scale catapults, they can have a lot of advantages in the siege by virtue of the strength of their archers.

But in the previous few battles, the archers of the Northern Qiang did not show their due power at all. Not only did they not gain any advantage, but they suffered heavy losses.

Originally, they wanted to arrive at a distance of 300 meters from the city gate, and then launch a long-range crossbow attack, but the Qilin army on the city launched an attack when they were 500 meters away. Not only the range was twice as long as theirs, but the arrows The power of the spear is still very strong, no matter what kind of armor it is, it can't block the sharp arrows coming through the air.

When they rushed to the gate of the city desperately, the Bailian crossbow on the city was activated quickly, and in an instant, the rain of arrows fell densely, and there was no place to dodge.

In the end, an attack by the Northern Qiang was defeated, leaving the corpses of nearly a thousand cavalry in place.

In the first few days, the Northern Qiang cavalry launched siege wars from time to time. Most of the time they were feint attacks, but they still lost troops and lost generals.

Nowadays, the number of attacks is less and less, and most of the time they choose to attack at night to reduce being shot and killed by the Qilin Legion, causing a large number of casualties.

"There is intelligence that Ma Qingbiao is going to rescue other tribes, and he is probably waiting for reinforcements."

Qin Yi looked into the distance and said to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan pondered for a while, and said, "The enemy has suffered heavy casualties these days, and they may not attack the city with all their strength, but they cannot relax their vigilance. At the same time, Bai Qi, Qin Yi, you four, lead ten Great Qin Tiger Guards to take turns on duty, no matter day or night. , there must be someone guarding the city gate.”

The purpose of letting one Houtian bring ten Nine Levels of Body Refining to guard the city gate is to avoid being sent by the enemy to carry out a surprise attack with high-end combat forces.

Although the Mingwu City Wall was built to a height of more than 20 meters, if you are a master of the day after tomorrow, it is possible to kill the city wall if you are desperate.

In a big battle, the fighting strength of the soldiers is still relied on, but if there are master warriors participating in the battle and winning by surprise, it may become the key, and even reverse the situation of a war.

Does the Northern Qiang cavalry have any masters in the acquired realm?Qin Yuan didn't know, but he had to guard against it.

When trading horses before, the commander of the Jin family was a martial artist in the acquired realm.

But this time, facing the big tribe of the Ma clan, there will be many body-refining warriors, and the probability of appearing warriors of the acquired realm is extremely high.

"Yes, my lord!"

"There must be at least one legion defending at the city gate. The city guard legion and the Qin family legion are on duty in turn. The other six legions will dispatch one soldier every day to participate in the task of defending the city wall and fighting the Northern Qiang enemy army. Qilin legion Pick up two."

Qin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, there was an extra cavalry force of more than 200 soldiers.

The cavalry stopped at a distance of 500 meters, and then walked around the city.

"500 meters."

Qin Yuan sneered. After several battles, the Qilin Army always shot when the enemy entered the range of 500 meters. Therefore, the Northern Qiang people always thought that the Qilin Army could only shoot up to 500 meters.

How would they feel if they knew that the shooting range could cover 1000 meters.

Of course, the Northern Qiang people did not imagine in this direction at all. When ordinary bows and arrows can only shoot 300 meters, it is already very scary that you can shoot 500 meters. Who would have guessed that you can shoot 1000 meters? hit.

"My lord, what if the enemy doesn't attack the city? They kept trying to attack a few days ago, but now they only do it once a day. Most of the time, they are wandering around outside the city."

Bai Qi asked, "How about I lead an army and go out to destroy them."

"Don't worry, the Mingwu City is not broken, and the Northern Qiang people can't go south. They will definitely find ways to capture Mingwu City. We just need to wait quietly. Moreover, this month is a good time for us to improve the combat effectiveness of our army. Wait After the eight major legions have elite combat power, are you afraid that there will be no war?"

Qin Yuan said that today's war is just one city and one county, and the Northern Qiang Ma clan is not his biggest enemy.

Qin Yuan didn't want to lose all the wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty.

Thinking about the [-] new recruits, if they fought with the Northern Qiang, it would be against the sky if they could kill [-] to [-], and they would all perish.

If there are [-] elites, one against ten, crushing the enemy, and paying a very small price, they can win the war.

Of course, Qin Yuan chose the latter, otherwise, after a war, he would have to recruit new soldiers. Even if there was food, there would not be so many strong men.
