Lord of the Earth

Chapter 760: Shenjiying VS Wei Wuzu!
"Achievements in military tactics?"

"Your Majesty, are you so confident?"

The middle-aged man holding a rifle and an arrow looked at Xia Tian, ​​pondered for a moment, his eyes sharp and filled with curiosity.

"I'm definitely not as good as the general. Especially the general's army, which is so powerful that it is rarely seen in the world..."

What Xia Tian said was definitely not false.

In fact, the army before him was one of the most elite ones rarely seen in the summer.

Even in the Qianxia Dynasty, there were only a few armies that had reached the "quasi-Xuanhuang" level, which could be compared with it, and there was even some gap in the commanders...

Perhaps there is only one team that can truly defeat the other!

"However, we have many elite soldiers in Qianxia, ​​and we have several armies that are strong enough to fight against them... How about we have a practice duel with 10,000 to 10,000?"

Xia Tian saw the effect of this "martial arts arena", which was that it could evolve soldiers under its command for training according to the wishes of the participants...

Of course, there are some other uses that cannot be seen in a short time.

"Ten thousand to ten thousand? Your Majesty seems very confident!"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.

It’s just because, in the fierce battle of 10,000 versus 100,000 that took place in the arena just now, the opponents were from many powerful nations of their own time, and their side won with absolute advantage!
The other party now actually wants to fight on an equal scale of 10,000 to 10,000?

"I know that in terms of training ability... the general can be ranked among the top three among the many outstanding people in my China."

"This army is the first truly elite army of China. However, Qianxia also has some troops whose eliteness should not be inferior to that of Wei Wuzu... In addition, Qianxia's "Xuanwu Army Commander" is also good at training soldiers... His ability may not be inferior to that of the general."

Xia Tian nodded and said confidently.

Yes, China’s first “elite” force.

The middle-aged man in front of him was none other than the legendary founder of the first special forces in Chinese history, the second sage of military strategy - Wu Qi!
The Wei Wuzu were elite heavy infantry trained by Wu Qi himself. Under Wu Qi's leadership, they fought in the south and the north, and achieved the remarkable feat of "72 major battles, 64 complete victories, and the rest were resolved (no winner)".

Especially, the Battle of Yinjin.

Wu Qi led 50,000 Wei troops to defeat the Qin army which was ten times larger than his own. He created a famous battle in history in which a small force defeated a large one with 50,000 infantry, 100 chariots and 3,000 cavalry. This made the Wei Wuzu famous throughout the world!

As a result, other countries also noticed the advantages of "elite soldiers" and increased their efforts to train them, resulting in the emergence of "martial arts warriors" in Qi, "border cavalry" in Zhao, "iron eagle sharp soldiers" in Qin, etc.

Under the rules of the Eternal Land, the power of this army can be imagined.

Therefore, when Wu Qi heard that Xia Tian was preparing to have a "military training" with him, he was very confident.

Just because of these armies, every soldier has reached the "limit" of his potential.

The cultivation level of each of them is above the quasi-transcendent level, and even one-tenth has stepped into the transcendent level... This is already the upper limit of the Eternal Land, and every soldier's own combat-related skills have also reached the level of "grandmaster" or even "transcendent"!
It can be said that this army is an absolute war machine. In the land of eternity, it is enough to destroy some small countries!

However, from what Xia Tian said, the Qianxia Dynasty actually has military commanders who are no less skilled than himself?
This made Wu Qi have some expectations for the troops sent by Xia Tian.

"Well, that is?"

The next moment, Wu Qi's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.

Just because Xia Tian waved his hand.

The bronze tiles of the martial arts arena suddenly vibrated, and the sound of countless gears meshing came from underground, accompanied by a loud crack of the ground in the center.

Rumble…

One hundred war machine beasts covered in fine steel armor leaped out with roars.

The leading "Suzaku Mechanical Beast" had a wingspan of ten feet when spread out, and its tail feathers spewed golden-red flames; the "White Tiger Mechanical Beast" following closely behind it carried a turret on its back, and when the muzzle turned, twelve gun barrels covered with runes were revealed.

The most shocking thing is the "Blue Dragon Mechanical Beast". There are 72 crossbows hanging on the dragon's beard, and when the dragon's mouth is opened, you can see the beating "Thunder Core" inside...

"Is this a mechanical chariot?"

Wu Qi's pupils suddenly shrank.

The bamboo slips at his fingertips unfolded quickly, but he found that there was no record of such a battle formation in his "Book of Military Affairs".

He had seen the "wooden ox and flowing horse" of the Mohist school and had heard of the "mechanical kite" of the Gongshu school, but he had never imagined that someone could combine the art of machinery with the "power of divine beasts" to such a level.

These mechanical beasts in front of us can not only move independently.

Moreover, every part of the body exudes a powerful killing force. When the Vermillion Bird flaps its wings, it does not bring up ordinary flames, but the "Nanming Lihuo" that can burn people's souls and decompose all things. What's leaping in the mouth of the Azure Dragon...!
"These mechanical beasts are based on the 'Four Symbols' and incorporate the essence of the mechanical arts of the Mohist and Gongshu schools. They are carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen from the Holy Realm... Look at the crossbow on this Azure Dragon mechanical beast. It was designed by the government official Zhuge Palace Master of the Qianxia Dynasty and crafted by his wife..."

Xia Tian pointed at the crossbow on the Qinglong mechanical beast, with the words "Burning Sun", "Falling Moon" and "Meteor" engraved on the gun barrel.

"Every time a cannon is fired, the power of heaven and earth in the corresponding direction can be mobilized. If a hundred 'Blue Dragon' mechanical beasts fire at the same time, the terrain within a ten-mile radius can be reshaped in an instant."

Summer mouth speaks.

"Activate the 'Divine Machine Formation'!"

Then, with a command, one hundred mechanical beasts of various shapes suddenly moved... The Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger rose into the air, while the Black Tortoise, Teng Snake, and Gou Chen lined up in the front!
Then, Wu Qi saw three-colored fire clouds suddenly appear in the sky.

The Nanming Lihuo spewed by the Vermillion Bird, the Yimu Thunder Fire controlled by the Azure Dragon, and the Gengjin Evil Fire from the White Tiger's mouth, the three fires merged into a sea of ​​fire that burned the world!
Rumble…

The Xuanwu gun barrels on the ground sprayed liquid metal, building a high wall in front of the formation. The Gou Chen mechanical beasts threw out chains, tying up the "Wei Wuzu" who tried to get around into iron balls, dragging the formation into disarray...

"Come on, try your 'Wei Wuzu Battle Formation'."

Xia Tian looked at Wu Qi, knowing that the other party's "Wei Wuzu" would not be simple...

Wu Qi took a deep breath.

The bloody words on the bamboo slips burned again, and the shadow of him who had trained the Wei Wuzu in the State of Wei appeared behind him.

The soldiers carried three days' worth of dry food, wore triple armor, and held twelve stone crossbows. They marched a hundred miles in the rainstorm and still managed to maintain their battle formation intact. Each of them was fearless and a true warrior...

At this moment, he injected this "spirit of a dead warrior" into the martial arts arena...

The eyes of the Wei Wu soldiers immediately gleamed with brilliance, and they formed groups of a thousand soldiers, condensing above their heads into fighting figures that exuded the aura of a "holy realm", like giant steel spears piercing the mechanical beast formation.

"boom……"

The power of these attacks was extremely astonishing.

Even a saint would be seriously injured! However, at the moment of the collision, Wu Qi realized the gap between the two sides.

This was because the mechanical beasts on the opposite side were also under Xia Tian's command, and they were combined into a "military formation" one by one, which greatly increased their own explosive power, and they were also at the "holy realm" level!
What shocked Wu Qi even more was that the mechanical beasts actually began to "cooperate" with each other.

When Suzaku's "Burning Sky Cannon" ran out of firepower, Azure Dragon actually transmitted its own power of thunder and fire through runes and completed the charging instantly; when White Tiger was damaged in close combat, the Teng Snake mechanical beast immediately sprayed out repair fluid, and those fluorescent liquids could actually directly repair the steel body.

This "symbiotic" combat system far exceeds the traditional military's concept of coordination. It is like a war organism that can self-repair and self-evolve...

These were naturally the fighting methods conceived and designed by Qi Jiguang, a genius in military training.

Because after the "Shenjiying" was promoted to Xuanhuang, it could "activate" the mechanical beasts, so he also enlarged and expanded the "Yuanyang Formation" originally formed by the "Qi Family Army" with a group of more than ten people to the "mechanical beasts"...

Rumble!
The powerful bronze crossbows of the Wei Wuzu left only white marks on the armor of the mechanical beasts, and were harvested in large numbers by Qinglong's crossbows; the shields of the heavy infantry quickly melted in front of the flames of Suzaku, while the high metal wall formed by Xuanwu could rebound all physical attacks.

The difference between the two sides was not the ability of individual soldiers, but the difference in "equipment". One side had ancient crossbows and spears, while the other side was equipped with mechanical beasts, artillery, and war fortresses...

What frightened Wu Qi the most was that Xia Tian pointed his finger.

In the martial arts arena, a "Skynet" was built that covered the entire area of ​​the Qianxia Dynasty.

With the assistance of Skynet, these soldiers turned on the "Sky Eye" mode one by one.

The weaknesses of the enemy formation were actually marked directly on the "screen" inside the mechanical beast. This "omniscient perspective" made any tactical detours meaningless...

So even though the Wei Wu soldiers on the battlefield were extremely brave, swift as the wind, slow as the forest, and aggressive as fire...

However, they were unable to break through the "military formation" of the Shenji Camp. Instead, due to the difference in individual strength, the attacks were resolved one by one by the Shenji Camp!

"Is this the way of war in the future? It turns out that after reaching one's own limit, one can still rely on external forces to rise again. The combination of the two is the kingly way..."

Wu Qi muttered to himself, but he did not show any sign of defeat.

Instead, he saw new possibilities. If the "divine power" of the mechanical beasts was combined with the "human power" of the traditional military formations, perhaps he could create a "god-destroying army" that could truly compete with the gods!
He suddenly pointed at a "Zhulong Mechanical Beast" hovering at low altitude. The "Zhulong Cannon" on its back was slowly condensing a purple energy ball.

"Your Majesty, if this cannon hits a mountain, can it turn the entire mountain into dust?"

Xia Tian nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Not just the mountain tops, theoretically even a city could be destroyed for the most part..."

Xia Tian said.

This is because this item was made from fragments of the Cyclops clan's artifact "Thunder Spear", and was originally the main gun on the Mirage.

Now it was taken by Xia Tian and used in this battle.

"good very good."

Wu Qi suddenly showed a fanatical smile and wrote quickly on the bamboo slips with his fingertips.

"If we use the mechanical beasts as the 'spear', the human cultivators as the 'shield', and the imperial destiny as the 'veins'..." He looked up at Xia Tian, ​​his eyes burning with a fighting spirit that was more intense than the fire of the Vermillion Bird.

There is no need to continue this battle.

For someone who is extremely good at fighting, the outcome can be seen long ago!

Even though Wu Qi did not lead the troops himself, and the combat effectiveness of this army was not maximized, the "Shenji Camp" was not really led by that "Xuanwu Army Commander"...

Wei Wuzu and Shenjiying.

These can be said to be the two most representative types of troops in Chinese history!

The former is the origin of the "elite soldiers" in Chinese history. Relying on their strong personal strength, they are invincible on the battlefield...

The latter is the first "modernized army" in the entire history of the human race. It possesses powerful firearms and elite tactics, and is invincible in the face of Japanese pirates!

When these two armies collided in this training ground, there was a big gap between the two sides. The reason was not that the overall quality of "Wei Wuzu" was not as good as that of "Shenjiying"!
In fact, in terms of personal physical fitness alone, these Wei Wuzu are even better than the Shenjiying... However, the Shenjiying relies on external forces to perfectly make up for these shortcomings!

"I have always wanted to train an army with individual strength that is strong enough to capture dragons and subdue tigers... but such an army is too difficult to train... Now I know that the answer is not in myself at all."

"I request to form a 'Heavenly Guard', which will be composed of three armies: the 'Sky Front Battalion', the 'Earth Shield Battalion', and the 'Human Power Battalion'. The three battalions combined can break through all the magic!"

Wu Qi looked at Xia Tian with sharp eyes.

Xia Tian raised his hand, and five golden dragon shadows wrapped around his arm, condensing into a "seal" that exuded jade white with a dark yellow color!
"You are allowed to play."

"I grant you the seal of 'Suzaku Army Commander' and the position of 'Palace Master'... You can mobilize up to one-third of Qianxia's mechanical workshops and refining resources. In addition..."

"However, I hope the general knows that... there is no distinction between the many professions in Qianxia, ​​and the status of craftsmen is not lower than that of officials..."

Wu Qi listened to Xia Tian's words.

Suddenly I remembered that when the State of Chu was carrying out reforms, I had gone against all odds and promoted craftsmen into official positions.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Qianxia Dynasty in summer could rise in the eternal land.

Because, in Qianxia there are no class shackles of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans", as long as it can be used for the rise of the human race.

Whether it is a military strategist, a legalist, or a craftsman, they can all find their own place in this "Skynet".

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Qi knelt on one knee, and the roar of the mechanical beast overlapped with his voice.

"I will definitely make this 'Heavenly Guard' a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the gods, to let them understand that the wisdom of the human race is far more terrifying than they imagined!"

Wu Qi's face was full of confidence.

Although, summer is just a promise.

But Wu Qi believed that this human leader who could establish the Dynasty of Fortune right now could keep his word!
Of course, it's undeniable.

The reason why Wu Qi chose to join Qian Xia was because he found a way to break through the "upper limit" of these soldiers.

Xia Tian looked at the rosy glow in the sky above the martial arts arena, then looked at Wu Qi who was observing the mechanical beasts with great interest, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

When humans began to dismantle the "power of God" and transform it into weapons in the hands of mortals, and when the wisdom of various schools of thought turned into gears of war machines.

This game between humans and gods may really be entering a new stage!
