I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven

After experiencing Wang Chao's magical power to promote crops and a bumper harvest in winter, many scholars in Weiyuan County finally began to try to integrate into the system of the People's Salvation Army and wanted to join the People's Salvation Army as officials.

However, they just discovered at this time.

Wang Chao did still recruit scholars.

However, it was completely different from the beginning.

At the beginning, Wang Chao could not grant the status of heaven and earth on a large scale. He really wanted to recruit scholars as officials.

But now, if they want to be officials in the People's Salvation Army system, they need to start from the village head, from the bottom.

Faced with this situation, many scholars retreated.

They really couldn't bring themselves to go to the countryside and deal with a group of mud legs.

However, there are also many poor scholars who live in the countryside and begin to try to join the agricultural society.

For these people, Wang Chao did not exclude them. After investigation and finding no bad records, he let them join the agricultural society.

As for becoming a village head, they need to contribute to the village and be recognized and elected by the villagers.

After all, other village chiefs also came in this way, and Wang Chao would naturally not make an exception for them.

Of course, as a serious scholar, they are still very respected. As long as they work hard, they can basically get the recognition of the villagers.

After that, they need to find a way to develop the village and obtain enough political achievements.

And as most people gradually return to their hearts, the bright yellow national destiny in the territory of the Salvation Army gradually becomes stronger.

At the same time, the golden power gathered above the Dynasty is also becoming clearer, gradually forming into strands, constantly converging towards the center, and turning into a faint golden light ball.

However, this pale golden light ball is somewhat illusory and ethereal, like smoke and clouds.

Moreover, there are countless bright yellow national destiny mixed in it, which seems to be very complicated, and the transformation is still a long way off.

After Weiyuan County had a bumper harvest and basically regained the hearts of the people, Wang Chao finally dispatched troops again on November 22nd and began to expand outward.

First, Li Yu's troops were sent to increase their forces by another 3,000, for a total of 4,000 troops.

The troops left Hezhou and occupied Jishiguan, Guideso and other places to the west, relying on the Yellow River and Taoshui to guard against possible Ming army attacks from Shaanxi Xingdusi, Lanzhou and Zhenluwei.

Wang Erniu served as the garrison commander of Huining, and increased his forces by 2,000, for a total of 3,000 people's rescue troops, to guard against possible attacks from Zhenluwei and Pingliang Prefecture.

Wang Shi and Li Shu each increased their forces by 3,000, for a total of 8,000 troops, and marched southward to occupy Qin'an, Lixian, Chengxian and other places, completely occupying Gongchang Prefecture, and divided their forces to garrison, to guard against the Ming army from the east.

Wang Dahu increased his forces by 4,000, for a total of 5,000 people's rescue troops, marched southward to attack Minzhou Prefecture, and occupied Pingdingguan, Xiguchengsuo and other places.

Then, relying on Hengshui and Baishui, Wang Shi and Li Shu, who occupied Wenxian County, would join forces with the rescue troops of Wang Shi and Li Shu to guard against possible attacks from the Zhanzangxian Jiechusi, Qimingchusi, Long'an Prefecture, and Qingzhou Prefecture in Sichuan.

In fact, because the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Tusi has always existed, Wang Chao is not very worried about the two Tusi of Zhanzangxian Jiechusi and Qimingchusi. The only thing that needs to be guarded is Long'an Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture.

However, when the time comes, Wang Dahu will lead 5,000 extraordinary rescue troops to sit in the army. As long as the entire Sichuan does not mobilize tens of thousands of troops, Wang Chao does not need to worry too much.

In addition to the mobilization of troops in these three directions, Wang Chao promoted Chen Ying to the garrison of Shouyangguan, leading 1,000 troops to suppress possible unrest in Gongchang Prefecture.

Wuping was promoted to the garrison of Jieheguan, leading 2,000 troops to suppress possible unrest in Lintao Prefecture, and at the same time, together with Li Yu, he guarded against possible attacks from Lanzhou and Zhenluwei.

Wang Chao himself also led 5,000 people-saving troops to attack Taozhouwei, and then relied on the old defensive cities of the Ming army to guard against possible attacks from the Dogansi Xuanwei Division and the Sichuan Axidongchu Division.

Dogansi Xuanwei Division was actually the XZ of later generations. At this time, it had basically escaped the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Axidongchu Division was not very close to the Ming army.

So these two places did not need to spend a lot of energy to defend.

They would never fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it was more than enough to leave a battalion of more than a thousand troops.

Facing the people-saving troops who had been training almost every day for several months and mastered extraordinary magical powers, the Ming army, which had long been slack and neglected in training, was naturally vulnerable.

Whenever the Ming army showed signs of strong resistance, Wang Chao would shoot an arrow, and no matter how solid the city gates and cities were, they would be broken in one blow.

Including Wang Dahu and others, after being able to mobilize the iron-blooded evil spirit of the entire army and the true qi of the soldiers, they can also burst out super-strong attacks. Perhaps they are not as good as Wang Chao, but with the combined efforts, they can definitely force the city gate to be broken.

In this case, the people's rescue army will naturally be unstoppable and invincible all the way.

Ning Wenyuan, the magistrate of Li County, had not yet left Gongchang Prefecture when the request for assistance he sent out had already been breached by Li Shu.

However, the magistrate Ning Wenyuan showed some loyalty and integrity at this time. He did not surrender after the city was broken, but hanged himself in the mansion.

As for his body, it was taken to the suburbs for cremation with other Ming army bodies.

Although he seemed to have some loyalty and integrity, he was also a corrupt and bribed person when he was in Li County. It was good that he was not beheaded and whipped again.

Naturally, there would be no such thing as admiring his integrity and burying him with honor.

Well, for the Salvation Army, his integrity was not noble, he was escaping punishment by death.

When it was December, when Governor Wu Zhiwang received the imperial edict and began to mobilize troops to the west, Wang Chao's Salvation Army had almost completed its initial strategic goal.

Wang Chao had begun to lead the large army back, leaving only two battalions of soldiers to guard against possible attacks from the Dogansi Xuanwei Division and the Axidongchu Division, and to clear the remaining remnants of the Ming army.

When Governor Wu Zhiwang went up the Tao River, passed Xi'an, passed Fengyang, and arrived at the border of Gongchang Prefecture, Wang Chao had already returned.

In addition, Wang Dahu and others had promoted many members of the agricultural society to officials in Minzhouwei, Gongchang Prefecture, and the places west of Hezhou through Wang Chao's appointment documents.

Although these places were not completely under control, they did not affect the overall situation.

With the Salvation Army left behind, and the ability to observe the national destiny and know where the problems were, even if there were still people who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they could not stir up any waves.

The only thing they had to face was foreign enemies.

At present, it is the 50,000 Ming court troops led by Wu Zhiwang.

As long as they can defeat the Ming army led by Wu Zhiwang, Wang Chao and his men will be able to take some time to rest and recuperate, and even launch a new round of attack and expansion.

Wang Chao stood on the wall of Gongchang Prefecture and looked from the perspective of spiritual power. The entire territory of the Salvation Army, the area east of the center, was covered with a strong national destiny, and then gradually weakened to the west and south, and the gray-black air gradually became thicker.

After the area east of the center, the national destiny quickly dimmed and eventually dissipated, indicating that the territory of the Salvation Army was out of the territory.

On the other side, Wu Zhiwang led a mighty 50,000 troops. After entering Gongchang Prefecture, he went straight to the city of Gongchang Prefecture with a clear goal.

The simplest way is naturally to take the water route, go upstream along the Wei River, starting from Qinzhou, passing Fuqiang, and passing Ningyuan, and you can reach Gongchang Prefecture directly.

With a shortcut, Wu Zhiwang naturally wouldn't bother climbing mountains and wading through water to take the land route.

For a moment, the entire Wei River was full of flags and ships shuttling back and forth.

While they were going upstream, Wang Chao was also going downstream, although he was faster than Wu Zhiwang and his team.

However, Wu Zhiwang and his team were closer.

Wang Chao and his team had just passed Ningyuan when Wu Zhiwang had already led his army to Qinzhou.

At this time, the leader of Qinzhou was Wang Shi, who had divided a lot of troops because he had occupied many counties in Gongchang Prefecture.

Now, the people's salvation army led by Wang Shi only had more than 1,100 people.

Standing on the city wall, Wang Shi frowned deeply at the dense and crowded enemy troops outside the city, as well as the marching warships that were scattered across the Wei River a few miles away.

Although the people's salvation army all had great power and supernatural powers, they relied on the city wall for defense.

But facing the 50,000 Ming court troops, Wang Shi still had no idea.

This is no longer a matter of one against ten, it is one against fifty.

In addition, this is his first time facing a large army encirclement and suppression, and it is also his first time defending a city, and the difference in the strength of the two sides is really huge.

Wang Shi is naturally unsure, worried that he will not be able to complete the important task entrusted by the leader.

Fortunately, he has also learned from the intelligence personnel of the Intelligence Department that the Dynasty is on the way quickly.

He only needs to hold on for two or three days to wait for the support of the Dynasty.

Therefore, his heart is a little more stable.

After Wu Zhiwang led the army to the city, he did not intend to set up camp, and directly commanded the army to start attacking the city.

After all, they came by boat, so there is naturally no problem of exhausting the army.

"All soldiers, listen to the order, attack the city!"

"Dong Dong Dong"

As the messenger waved the flag and the drums resounded throughout the army, a group of soldiers immediately rushed to the Qinzhou city wall shouting and killing.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

"The first person to climb the wall will be rewarded with 100 silver coins and promoted by one rank."

"The one who cuts off the enemy general's head will be rewarded with 500 silver coins and promoted by three ranks."

In an instant, many civilians became eager, carrying ladders and running forward desperately, hoping to be the first to climb the wall.

Wang Shi looked solemn at first, looking at the Ming army rushing down below.

Then he raised his head and looked at the enemy's banner hundreds of meters away, and the leading general under the banner, and his expression was slightly moved. If only the leader or Li Yu was there.

With the leader's archery skills, he would definitely die on the spot if it was only a few hundred meters, and he might not even leave his whole body.

Although Li Yu's archery skills were not as good as the leader's, he was the only one who had inherited the archery skills so far.

Most of them chose to set up formations, or close combat skills such as swords and guns.

Melee magic skills such as swords and spears are derived from the sword skills of the 72 Disha Techniques.

However, unlike the legendary 72-speed sword skills of the Disha, Wang Chao has made some magical changes to it.

It is a magical skill that can deeply control the weapons in hand through magic skills, increase the power with true qi, and burst out sword qi and sword qi.

It is more about the control of melee weapons than sword skills.

Therefore, Wang Chao calls it [Melee Weapon Control].

Generals such as Wang Shi, Wang Dahu, Wang Erniu, Li Shu, etc., currently choose magic skills that are basically [Melee Weapon Control].

After all, melee weapons are more suitable for leading troops to charge.

Moreover, this [Melee Weapon Control] is not limited to swords, spears, swords and halberds.

As long as it is a weapon in the hand, it can be controlled at will, and it can hit wherever it is pointed.

Of course, this does not mean that if you use supernatural powers, you will have a very profound martial arts.

It is not even a skill.

This is more like a kind of control of objects with the spirit.

The mind locks the target, the supernatural power and true energy flow, and the weapon will hit the target in the most concise and clear way.

Direct and straightforward.

The palm holding the weapon only serves as a link to the supernatural power and true energy.

As for the use of skills, swords, spears, swords and other martial arts, it requires acquired training and learning.
