The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 36 What, no Six Meridians Divine Sword?

Two months later, Dali City,

After a series of battles, the original "pirates" have become the Pingnan Army with 60,000 soldiers.
Among them were 20,000 vassal troops, 30,000 Dali troops, and 10,000 wing troops!
As cannon fodder, most of the vassal soldiers were responsible for carrying various equipment. However, compared to the precarious days before, they now had a military merit system. Once they were promoted to the fifth rank, they could obtain the status of "Song people" and enjoy various preferential treatments.
The Dali army was different. They were originally "Jiaoji people". Once they joined, they would be given uniform armor and weapons.

Compared to serving as a soldier in Dali, here, their monthly salary is five taels, and there are other rewards after the war.
The wounded will receive 100 taels of silver, the dead will receive 500 taels of silver, and their relatives and children will be raised by the Pingnan Army until they reach adulthood.

Faced with all the preferential treatment before them, the Dali army, which had been defeated in a daze, turned its guns around.

Seeing that his cousins ​​did not resist, Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he was not afraid of the vassal army rebelling, but he was afraid that the Dali army would go against him.
As for servants, you just need to recruit them, and no one cares about their casualties. But it’s different for our own people, they are of the same lineage!

Riding on his warhorse, Zhang Cheng looked at the vassal army that was clearing the way through the mountains and cutting down trees continuously. With a gleam in his eyes, he asked, "How long will it take to reach Dali?"

"We still have less than half a month to go, but if we want to defeat Dali, we still have to face an army of 100,000!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Ping quickly explained,

"One hundred thousand people, this must be the strength of Dali!"

Thinking of what Wang Ping said, Zhang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
What were the ancient wars fought for? They were fought for population, food, and mobilization.
If there are less than ten thousand Jin soldiers, would they be invincible if there are ten thousand?
But what did Yue Wumu do when facing an army of tens of thousands? He used the Beiwei Army to defeat the "invincible" and forced them to flee in panic!

From south to north, the Beiwei Army experienced several major battles, one of which even defeated 15,000 elite cavalry of the Jin army.
Even with 800 Beiwei troops, they defeated 30,000 Jin cavalry and 100,000 infantry.

With such a record, how could the Jin people have the nerve to say that they were invincible?

If it weren't for Wanyan Jiumei and Qin Hui's self-destruction of the Great Wall in the end, Zhao Gou would have been brought to a "supreme" status by Yue Fei, and it would not be an exaggeration even if he was named "the Great Emperor" in later generations!
Recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is not enough, Yue Wumu can even pacify the north and restore the glory of China!
The situation was such that even a dog tied to the throne could win, but they broke it!

Zhang Cheng: I thought Guo Kai was a good fighter, but Qin Hui is even better!

Qin Hui: Throughout the dynasties, which prime minister could have a bronze statue erected like mine?

Situ Yaozu: Are you pretty proud of yourself?

Somewhere on a slightly wider plain,

The two armies are facing each other.

Holding the telescope, Wang Ping said with a serious look on his face: "This battle will be difficult, General!"

“We must fight no matter how difficult it is!”

As he said this, Zhang Cheng put down the telescope and said, "War itself is a gamble. If we win, we will take over Dali and dominate South Asia. If we lose, I will go back and assassinate the Duan family."

The corners of their mouths twitched as they looked at Zhang Cheng. Xiong Jizong and Wang Ping were dumbfounded.
Because they didn't expect that Zhang Cheng couldn't stand losing.
If you lose the war, are you going to just do "Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin"?
"Distribute the divine arm crossbows. I want to win this battle in one go!"

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Zhang Cheng was very nervous at the moment.

If you ask him to go to Florida to do something, he probably won't blush or feel nervous, but this war concerns the future of China, so he has to be nervous.

"Put on armor, put on armor!"

There was a loud roar, and an officer could not help but roar.
"Crash!"

They picked up their armor from the carriages in unison, and many soldiers became serious.

But when they put on the armor, their hearts calmed down.

Because this kind of armor is completely different from their usual ones. Unless it is hit by the Eight Ox Crossbow, no sword or knife can break it.

With strong armor and sharp blade, this is the reason why Zhang Cheng is invincible.

Otherwise, even if his reward was generous, with so many casualties, he would not be able to reach here.
There is only one army in the entire world that can endure a death rate of over 90% and still maintain a strong fighting spirit!
"Wind up, wind up"

After loading the half-man-high crossbow with arrows, many people came forward.

Looking at the Pingnan Army preparing to attack, the Dali side also roared: "Forward!"

"Crash!"

The army marched forward, the Dali soldiers raised their shields,

In the next second, Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Ping beside him and said, "I'll leave it to you!" After saying this, Zhang Cheng turned around, drew his sword, and personally dismounted to fight.
In terms of command, he is not as good as Wang Ping, but when it comes to leading the army, he has plenty of temper!
"Fire arrows!"

Holding the command flag and roaring, Wang Ping also roared,
"Wow!"

A hail of arrows appeared in the sky, and the Dali soldiers holding shields fell down immediately.
Facing this scene, the Prime Minister of Dali could not believe it and said, "Damn it, it's the Divine Arm Crossbow, are they the Song army?"

"Impossible, how could the Song army have such courage?"

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the generals around him were immediately shocked.

"Press forward with the banner! Press forward with the banner!"

Holding the battle flag in his hand, Zhang Cheng roared,

As the soldiers on both sides began to advance, they saw that the Prime Minister of Dali was completely dumbfounded.
Because when two armies fight, what matters is courage and bravery.

The opponent had already begun to press forward before the stalemate.

"I'm risking Dali's national destiny and ordering the imperial dragon banner to march forward!"

The Prime Minister of Dali also went crazy with hysterical roars.

Because they cannot be defeated. Once these 100,000 troops are wiped out, Dali will no longer be able to fight!
"Kill!"

Hysterical roars intertwined,

The two armies collided madly.
Holding a long sword and waving it, Zhang Cheng kept moving forward. His armor had already been stained red with blood.

Commanding the army to attack, the Prime Minister of Dali also constantly dispatched troops.

However, facing the Pingnan Army with its strong armor, Dali was unable to tear through their defenses.

Looking at the battle line collapsing, he said with despair in his eyes: "Are we really going to lose?"

"Boom!"

The earth shook, and a cavalry rushed out from a distance.

Holding broadswords, Xiong Jizong and Situ Yaozu stared at the imperial dragon banner and roared.

Looking at the charging cavalry, the Prime Minister of Dali said with a pale face: "It's over. The fate of Dali is completely lost in my hands."

Half a month later,

Dali City,
When a violent roar sounded, the city gate collapsed.

When the army entered the city, Zhang Cheng ordered his soldiers not to harm anyone.

Arriving at the palace, "Zhang Cheng" looked at the Duan family in front of him, and could not help but hold his long sword and walked forward to sit down and said: "Today, the country is destroyed. Does the Duan family have anything to say?"

"To the victors comes the spoils, but I, Dali, will never succumb to thieves!"

Raising his head, Duan looked at him with a determined expression.
"Cousin, cousin, I asked around, and there's no Six Meridians Divine Sword in Dali!"

Situ Yaozu ran into the palace and shouted,
"What, you don't have the Six Meridians Divine Sword? Then why are you, the Duan clan of Dali, pretending to be so arrogant? You scared me to death!"

Coming out from a corner, Zhang Cheng pulled Niu Er down, sat on it and said, "Hey, this chair is so comfortable!"

"Are you the one leading the troops?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Duan's eyes widened in astonishment.

"That's right, it's you!"

Looking at Duan with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng held his chin and asked, "Are you surprised? Are you happy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng who was cowardly and afraid of death in front of her, Duan was completely stunned.
