Chapter 76 One Man Forms an Army: The Impact of Annihilating Government and Military Forces

Only now, with the change in its original power, which also made its consciousness space slightly stronger, did the dynasty suddenly realize this.

It seems that he will also need to study visualization more carefully in the future, and change the form of power in the space of consciousness.

Of course, that's all for the future.

As for now
After arranging the cloud soldiers, the wisp of the dynasty's consciousness that had descended into the consciousness space had already detached and returned to the real world.

During the time that Wang Chao had been communicating with Yun Bing, he had arrived at the edge of the mountain battlefield and looked outwards.

More than 200 meters away, Commander Xu was directing hundreds of soldiers to surround and kill dozens of militia members.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chao suddenly realized why there had been deaths.

If he doesn't show up soon, the remaining rescue force will likely perish one by one under the siege of the government troops.

Theoretically speaking, a militia that could fight ten men each could be equivalent to hundreds of government soldiers.

However, in reality, considering both sides and issues such as cooperation, etc.

Dozens of militiamen were no match for hundreds of government troops.

Ultimately, the militia had only been trained for a month or two, and most of them had never even experienced combat. Their teamwork, combat skills, and so on were still lacking.

Not to mention the border troops of the Ming Dynasty, or the Manchu and Mongol armies outside the Great Wall, they were probably inferior even to the regular army within the Ming Dynasty itself.

Naturally, faced with a large number of soldiers surrounding and killing them, they ultimately had no choice but to die.

At this moment, Commander Xu, looking at the exhausted, wounded, and bloodied soldiers of the Salvation Army, couldn't help but smile with excitement.

Finally, finally.
These damned militia are finally going to be surrounded and killed by them.

Seeing that someone would be killed again soon, Wang Chao narrowed his eyes and, without saying a word, took out his bow.

"Crunch!"

In an instant, Wang Chao drew his bow to its fullest extent, unleashing his archery skills and supernatural powers, which rapidly enveloped the bow.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh~!"

In an instant, arrows shot out like dragons.

The next moment, the arrow, carrying immense force, crashed into the ranks of the government troops, piercing through several bodies before finally piercing Xu Qianhu's forehead.

The excited smile that had been on Xu Qianhu's face just a moment ago was now completely frozen on his face.

"Pfft!"

In the next instant, Commander Xu fell off his horse.

Upon seeing this scene, both the officers and soldiers and the militia were stunned.

But in the next instant, they realized what was happening.

"Reinforcements!"

This must mean that reinforcements have arrived.

However, their performances were quite different.

This shot directly killed a Ming Dynasty commander, so it's obvious that this must have been reinforcements from the militia.

In an instant, the officers and soldiers who were initially excited about surrounding and killing the militia were all filled with grief and despair.

Looking around, they realized that one or two hundred of them had already died.

Only then did they suddenly realize what was happening.

Their casualties seemed excessively heavy in order to surround and kill the dozens of militiamen in front of them.

They were so blinded by the bloodshed that they didn't notice the casualty ratio between the two sides.

Yes, one member of the militia died, and nearly two hundred of them died.

Realizing what had happened, their fighting spirit plummeted.

Even though the militia was so weak that they seemed like they could be killed with just a few blows, they no longer had the courage to wield their swords.

The militia members surrounded in the center were overjoyed. Their spirits suddenly lifted, and their bodies, which had been extremely weak, seemed to surge with power again, instantly killing several people around them.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers finally realized what was happening.

"Run!"

"Wow!"

In an instant, many officers and soldiers scattered and fled.

"Escape? Is it even possible to escape?"

Wang Chao smiled coldly and drew his bow and nocked an arrow with lightning speed.

"whoosh whoosh"

In an instant, countless arrows shot out, covering the fleeing soldiers like a rain of flowers.

Wang Chao, with extraordinary speed and single-handedly, achieved the effect of dozens of archers.

He truly became an army single-handedly.

Moreover, the power of those arrows was terrifying.

Basically, each arrow could pierce through the bodies of several people.

In an instant, dozens of people collapsed and died.

Of course, with such rapid firing, the consumption of arrows was also astonishing, almost all of them were used up in the blink of an eye.

Wang Chao put down his longbow and roared.

"Those who flee will be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Upon hearing this, the militia, who had just escaped the encirclement, also reacted suddenly and shouted in unison.

"Those who flee will be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who flee will be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Hearing the shouts behind them, coupled with the intimidation of the arrows fired by the dynasty earlier, many soldiers immediately stopped in their tracks.

After a slight hesitation, he dropped his weapon with a clatter and knelt down to surrender.

With someone taking the lead, more and more officers and soldiers immediately surrendered.

Of course, many people ignored it and continued to rush forward with a侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality).

Maybe then we can escape?
"Humph!"

Seeing the soldiers still fleeing with their heads down, Wang Chao couldn't help but snort coldly, instantly activating his supernatural speed ability. In the blink of an eye, Wang Chao had already arrived in front of the large group of militia.

"Swish"

Before the crowd could even salute, Wang Chao swiftly drew the remaining arrows from the militia and began firing them with lightning speed.

"whoosh whoosh"

Arrows flew like dragons, and one by one, the fleeing soldiers were shot to death.

Moreover, the arrows turned to dust instantly after killing the soldiers.

The bows and arrows used by ordinary militias were nowhere near as good as those of the dynasty.

The arrows used by the dynasty were specially made iron arrows, capable of withstanding several shots imbued with supernatural power.

Ordinary arrows won't do; they can remain intact with the help of supernatural power before hitting their target.

However, once the supernatural power hits its target and dissipates, it will instantly turn into dust.

Seeing the power of the arrows shot by the dynasty, and the speed at which one person could unleash a rain of arrows, many members of the People's Salvation Army couldn't help but marvel at it.

The leader is indeed the leader. He was already the best archer in the militia, and now that he has mastered supernatural powers, he is even more unmatched.

One person is an entire archer squad.

In addition, its power is comparable to that of a city crossbow, which is probably beyond the capabilities of even a scout of archers.

Under the threat of another wave of arrows from the dynasty, the remaining fleeing soldiers immediately stopped in their tracks, trembling as they threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Only then did Wang Chao look at the People's Salvation Army soldiers who were supporting each other, and coldly cursed them.

"You guys have really gotten to be capable! How were you trained?"
When encountering a large enemy force, a kite strategy should be adopted, engaging in a back-and-forth tug-of-war until their patience is exhausted, forcing them to reveal a weakness, which can then be exploited to launch an attack.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we advance. We must annihilate them in motion.
If the situation becomes untenable, evacuation must be carried out immediately to preserve manpower.
You few dozen people actually dared to charge at hundreds of enemy soldiers? You guys are fucking suicidal.
Your colleagues, your comrades-in-arms, are right behind you.
If you run a few more steps, you'll be the ones surrounding and killing the government troops.
What? You'd risk your life for such a small amount of military merit?

madness!."

Hearing the king's tirade, the many members of the People's Salvation Army lowered their heads in shock and remained silent.

After a while, Wang Chao stopped cursing, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"At least you didn't disgrace our militia. Dozens against hundreds, and you actually killed more than two hundred officers and soldiers. You all did a great job."

Upon hearing what Wang Chao said at the end, the entire Salvation Army suddenly raised their heads, their faces filled with disbelief.

Was this because they were praised by the leader?
A smile began to bloom on everyone's faces.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Wang Chao's smile faded slightly, and he solemnly spoke:
"However, we do not advocate such reckless behavior. We must never act in this way without complete certainty in the future."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, but the smiles on their faces were impossible to hide.

"Alright! Quickly clean up the battlefield and gather the prisoners."

Seeing that everyone had almost recovered, Wang Chao gave the order.

The main reason is that the evil energy consumed by everyone has almost been replenished.

This battlefield is constantly shrouded in a spiritual energy field.

In addition, the murderous aura generated from their battles far exceeds that of ordinary training.

Therefore, the speed at which people accumulate the murderous aura of soldiers is far beyond what is common.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long while being surrounded and constantly using their supernatural powers.

In just this short rest, the murderous aura that everyone had accumulated was almost as strong as it was before the great battle.

However, the accumulated malevolent energy under such circumstances carries more killing intent and should be called iron-blooded malevolent energy.

Under the influence of this fierce and murderous aura, everyone unconsciously exudes a terrifying and menacing aura.

With just one glance, it can silence many weak-willed and timid people, making them dare not resist in the slightest.

It was for this reason that the dynasty felt comfortable allowing them to gather and control the prisoners.

What's more, he's here to keep things in check.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the king's order, everyone obeyed and headed towards the prisoners.

This great battle lasted from midday until the sun began to set.

Under the scorching sun, the People's Salvation Army began to push the captured officers and soldiers towards Weiyuan County.

Those young men who wanted to join them were thrown into the recruit camp.

Those who don't want to join, then go and work for me.

In any case, the dynasty will not let them leave for the time being.

As for supporting them for free, that's even more impossible.

Today, Weiyuan County is in dire need of development, and there are many places where their efforts are needed.

Their contributions were needed for everything from building roads and bridges to repairing city walls.

While ordering the prisoners to be escorted back, Wang Chao and his men did not stop their operations in the surrounding villages of Zhang County and Shouyang Pass.

Taking into account the fact that the troops in both locations had been almost completely cleared out, Wang Chao and his men became even bolder in their actions.

They immediately began to be dispatched to various locations in small teams.

In just three days, the People's Salvation Army had completely occupied the villages in both areas, breached the mansions of many wealthy landlords, and seized a large amount of gold and silver.

In the following days, Wang Chao and his team began to develop in both locations, modeling their development on the development model of Weiyuan County.

However, the officers and soldiers in both places did not dare to leave the city, leaving the vast countryside to the People's Salvation Army.

However, the stories of Wang Chao and his forces' two major battles spread far and wide.

If it were just the militia from Zhang County, then there would be nothing wrong with it.

However, if you add the more than a thousand soldiers and officers at Shouyang Pass, it becomes a completely different story.

They were a regular Ming Dynasty army.

Regardless of whether they are in arrears with pay or food, or their actual combat strength.

However, they were indeed the real Ming army.

The annihilation of this army of over a thousand men by the so-called People's Salvation Army immediately caused a huge uproar in Lintao and Gongchang prefectures.

In an instant, all the wealthy landowners in the counties were filled with panic and began to try to sell their property, carrying gold, silver, grain, relatives and family members, and migrated to the county seat and the prefectural seat.

Thank you for your support, fellow readers!
Xinghuo expresses his sincere gratitude! ().:*
