Chapter 973: Level A, B, and C Army of the Three-Level Annihilation
Although they quickly occupied the wealthy Taigu and Pingyao counties, the Ningyuan Army did not stop its attacks on Shanxi.

Next, Suning reduced the number of robot armies and sent out a large number of well-equipped cold weapon troops to attack and occupy the counties around Taiyuan.

Each battle mode is very simple and boring. First, a robot team will directly blast open the city gate, and the defenders will usually kneel down and beg for mercy at this time.

If the defenders still refuse to surrender, the Ningyuan Army will let the cold weapon troops behind attack directly, so that they can quickly train an elite and bloodthirsty force.

Although the robot army in Suning's own space world is invincible, Suning is not planning to rely entirely on the robot army this time, because the upcoming world war will be the mainstream battlefield.

Therefore, Suning has been integrating surrendered soldiers and newly recruited soldiers, and all of these troops are trained in actual combat methods. Naturally, loyal robots serve as instructors and important generals.

"General, we have controlled all the counties in southern and central Shanxi in three days, and we have now surrounded Taiyuan."

"What are the movements of the Suiyuan General in Shanxi and the Qing troops in Datong?"

"General, because we are moving too fast, the Qing troops in these two directions have just set off."

"Zombie-like reaction speed! Heaven will not tolerate the end of the Qing Dynasty."

"Marshal, how should we deal with this next?"

"Have the drone fleet closely monitor the movements of the Qing army. We're going to conduct a classic siege and attack."

"Yes! Marshal."

"Also, please send an invitation to the wealthy businessmen in Shanxi to watch how our Ningyuan Army annihilates the Qing army."

"Yes! Marshal."

You have to know that Shanxi is too close to Sijiucheng. The Qing court must have learned of the military intelligence at this time. Suning guessed that the Qing emperor must have spared no effort to mobilize the army to attack Taiyuan.

His own drone fleet has been paying close attention to the movements of the Qing army around him, and the Suiyuan general and Datong reinforcements who are about to come into contact with his Ningyuan army will become the best performance objects for him to intimidate the local rich people in Shanxi.

Only a hearty battle can make the Shanxi local rich people who are wavering in their decision-making surrender. You must know that this is a chaotic world without faith and morality. Suning will only believe in the force and deterrence in his hands.

The amount of food and war supplies in the county treasuries in southern and central Shanxi exceeded Suning's imagination. They were all distributed to the newly formed cold weapon troops. It was easy to form an elite force of 50,000 people. You have to know that the total number of the Qing army at that time was only more than 900,000.

Moreover, among the more than 900,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty, there were only more than 300,000 Eight Banners soldiers, and the remaining more than 600,000 troops were the Green Camp with poor military equipment. The most fatal thing was that many Qing troops were in a tense relationship with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guangxi.

Suning named these cold weapon troops the Mie Lu Army, and this Mie Lu Army was divided into three levels: A, B, and C. The A-level troops of the Mie Lu Army were naturally elite cavalry and combat soldiers, while the B-level troops were auxiliary troops with slightly weaker combat power. As for the C-level troops, they were the substitute reserve troops that had just received training.

Therefore, the real strength of the Ningyuan Army at this time can definitely go straight to Huanglong, but Suning does not want to fight all the way to Sijiu City too quickly. Instead, he wants to see the strange stories of all kinds of people in the late Qing Dynasty.

……

At this time, General Tuo Ming'a of Suiyuan led an army of 100,000 gathered from near Datong and marched straight towards Taiyuan.

There were no fleeing civilians along the way, which made Tomin'a feel confused and puzzled. This was very different from his impression of rebels capturing a city.

"Le Bin." Confused, Tomin'a immediately called his deputy general.

"General, I'm here." Le Bin, who was about to take over as General Suiyuan in the original time and space, immediately ran forward.

"Have the spies sent out reported anything?" At this time, General Tuoming'a of Suiyuan placed all his hopes on the scouts.

"No! General, we sent out five spies but received no news. I suspect something bad may have happened to him."

"Oh! I don't know what the situation is ahead and how we should march." At this time, Tomin'a complained extremely depressed.

"General, the current situation is all we can do."

"Yeah! Damn Ningyuan Army, where did these traitors come from?"

"Report." Then a Green Camp soldier quickly ran towards Suiyuan General Tuoming'a.

"Speak." Suiyuan General Tuoming'a looked at the soldier with a stern look.

"General, our scouts just captured a young man with suspicious behavior. We suspect he is a spy for the rebels."

"Oh? Bring it up."

"Yes! General."

Soon, a young man who was tied up was dragged forward, but his face was still full of rebellion, as if he had suffered great injustice and abuse.

"Who are you?" Suiyuan General Tuoming'a looked at the man directly and asked.

"General, I am not a spy. I am Qiao Zhiyong, the second master of the Qiao family in Qi County. I am a scholar who returned home from the capital to take the imperial examination." The man hurriedly looked at General Suiyuan in front of him and explained.

"Ridiculous! The imperial examination in the capital has just ended. Did you fly back?" At this time, General Tuoming'a of Suiyuan retorted with a sneer.

"General, I gave up the imperial examination and rushed back here in a panic because my brother Qiao Zhiguang was seriously ill and could not be cured."

"Humph! Qi County is already in the hands of the rebels. Even if what you said is true, your Qiao family must have been harmed by the rebels."

At this time, some soldiers had handed Qiao Zhiyong's travel pass and other scientific research information to Tuoming'a, and Tuoming'a had relaxed his guard against Qiao Zhiyong.

Soon, Tomin'a felt disappointed again, because he wanted to know the information about the rebels too much. Unknown enemies are often the most terrifying and deadly.

Looking at the distraught young man in front of him, Tuoming'a suddenly had an idea and looked at Qiao Zhiyong and said, "Qiao Zhiyong, are you willing to serve my court?"

"Thank you for your kindness, General! I just want to return to the Qiao family in Qi County as soon as possible." At this time, Qiao Zhiyong just refused in despair. He also had bad guesses about his family.

"Haha, this isn't a conflict! We urgently need information about the rebels. All you need to do is rush back to Qi County as soon as possible and find a way to pass the information to us."

"General, I do! I will rush back to Qi County right now." Hearing that he could return to Qi County as soon as possible, Qiao Zhiyong agreed without hesitation.

"Well, go ahead! This general is waiting for your detailed information."

"Yes! General."

After watching the now-free Qiao Zhiyong galloping towards Qi County, Tuoming'a suddenly turned to his deputy general, Le Bin, and said, "Order! Change the route of the army to Qi County."

"General, are we not going to Taiyuan?" Deputy General Le Bin asked General Suiyuan in front of him in some surprise.

"Hmph! Qi County is where this group of rebels first appeared, so they naturally left behind the most information. As the art of war says, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."

"Yes! General." Soon, one hundred thousand Qing troops marched towards Qi County in a mighty force, and their every move was captured by drones in the sky, and then presented to Suning through real-time transmission.

"Tomin? Interesting! Since you have chosen Qi County as your place, then I will destroy you outside the city of Qi County." At this time, Suning also smiled meaningfully, realizing that the Qing Dynasty was a centipede that would not die even if it was cut into pieces.

"General, are we going to bring the wealthy businessmen from Shanxi to Qi County now?"

"Yes! And County Magistrate Meng and his gang of surrendered ministers, if we don't let them see our true strength, they will definitely not surrender."

"Yes! Marshal."

In fact, Suning's ambition this time is very big. After all, God has given him too many opportunities, so he must teach those robbers a good lesson and let them see the true strength of the hundreds of ethnic groups in China once again.

……

At this time, Qiao Zhiyong naturally returned to Qi County smoothly, but the "short-haired monks" all over the streets immediately reminded him of the huge changes that had taken place here.

"Stop!" The guards of the city gate were naturally Class B anti-Lu soldiers, who directly scolded the "big fool" with a long braid.

"Sir, I am Qiao Zhiyong, the second master of the Qiao family. I am returning to the Qiao family compound." Qiao Zhiyong naturally didn't want to waste words, but still had to explain with his head down.

"Hmph! The Supreme Commander of Daning has ordered that all men in Qi County must cut off their braids."

"what?"

The soldiers guarding the city gate did not give Qiao Zhiyong time to react. One of the soldiers quickly drew out his sword and cut off Qiao Zhiyong's braid with a single blow.

"Let's go!" The soldiers simply cut off Qiao Zhiyong's braid and then let him go.

"Oh my! I didn't expect that the second master of the Qiao family also cut off his braids. Why don't you know to hide in the Qiao family compound and not come out!" Suddenly a sarcastic voice sounded next to Qiao Zhiyong.

"Cui Mingshi, stop being hypocritical in front of me. It's not like your braid was cut off." Qiao Zhiyong, who had lost his braid, was confused at this time. When he looked up, he saw that it was Cui Mingshi, the younger brother of Cui Mingjiu, whom he hated the most.

"Qiao Zhiyong, I'm different from the rest of the Qiao family. My life is worthless, unlike you, the second master of the Qiao family, who is rich and powerful."

"Hmph! I have something to do today! I don't want to bother with you." Qiao Zhiyong thought that he had to hurry back to the Qiao family compound, so he no longer paid attention to the despicable man in front of him.

Cui Mingshi looked at Qiao Zhiyong who was running quickly towards the Qiao family compound, and immediately revealed a look of hatred on his face, "Bah! Let's see how long your Qiao family can continue to be so arrogant."

Soon, Qiao Zhiyong, who was concerned about the safety of his family, returned to the Qiao Family Compound. However, he was relieved to see the closed gate, which meant that there was not much danger in their Qiao Family Compound.

At this time, Qiao Zhiyong was naturally surprised at the "traitor" in his heart, and then he shook off all the distracting thoughts in his mind and knocked on the door hard.

"Open the door quickly! I, Qiao Zhiyong, am back."

Such domineering and arrogant words immediately surprised the entire Qiao family. They felt that the backbone of their Qiao family had finally returned.

Upon hearing the news, Cao Yuezhi, the eldest grandmother of the Qiao family, suddenly lost her temper and collapsed in exhaustion. Fortunately, the maids beside her were quick to support Cao Yuezhi.

"Grandma, you have been too tired these days. I will call a doctor for you." Cao Yuezhi's personal maid Guixiang looked at Cao Yuezhi with heartache and said.

"No need! Call the second boss here quickly." Cao Yuezhi just wanted to entrust the Qiao family's mess to Qiao Zhiyong as soon as possible.

"Yes! Grandma."

Soon, Qiao Zhiyong returned to the inner house under the guidance of Butler Hou, and saw his sister-in-law who was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Sister-in-law, Zhiyong came back late." Qiao Zhiyong hurriedly came to Cao Yuezhi with shame.

"Wuuuu... Zhiyong, your elder brother is gone." Seeing that the long-awaited backbone had finally returned, Cao Yuezhi could no longer hold back her tears.

"what?"

Then, Butler Hou on the side briefly explained what had happened during this period, and Qiao Zhiyong knelt down in front of Qiao Zhiguang's spirit with tears in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I want to use all the cash in the Qiao family to arrange a grand funeral for my brother."

"What? Our Qiao family owes so much money to others. How can we waste it on a funeral?"

"Sister-in-law, this money is nothing compared to the Qiao family's debt. It would be better to spend it all on Big Brother's funeral. Maybe it can even deter those villains."

"This……"

"I'm the second-in-command of the Qiao family, so leave this matter to me."

"Hey……"

"Second Boss, the most pressing issue right now is the rebels in Qi County. I heard they have taken control of all the counties in southern and central Shanxi." At this time, Butler Hou hurriedly reminded the somewhat willful Qiao Zhiyong.

"No problem! On my way back to Qi County, I encountered a 100,000-man army led by General Tuoming'a of Suiyuan. I believe we can quickly wipe out these rebellious bandits."

"That's good! That's good."

"Butler Hou, please write down the detailed information of this group of rebels, and then have Changshun leave the city to find General Suiyuan."

"Okay! I'll write it right away."

It was not until this moment that the butler thought of Qiao Zhiyong's braid, and then he turned around and started writing the information, hesitant to say anything.

At this time, Cao Yuezhi, the eldest grandmother of the Qiao family, who was lying on the hospital bed, also noticed that Qiao Zhiyong had lost his braid. She looked at him with concern and asked, "Zhiyong, your braid?"

"Sister-in-law, my hair was cut off by the rebels on my way back to Qi County."

"Oh! What should we do? To prevent the Qiao family from having their braids forcibly cut, I have already ordered the Qiao family compound to be closed off."

"Oh? Sister-in-law, this group of rebels didn't even rush into the Qiao family compound and burn, kill, and loot?"

"No! This group of rebel Ningyuan troops has never entered civilian houses. They live in the county government office and the treasury."

"That's quite interesting! They seem very different from the rebels we imagined."
