As for General Cao, he was just a nobleman from a military family who was lazy and didn't know how to live a life of ease. How could he dare to disobey the orders of a civil official like Cai You? He immediately ordered his soldiers to set up camp and cook.

These so-called Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty were also lax in their military discipline. After the general gave the order, they all sat down on the spot, removed their helmets and armor, took off their clothes to fan themselves, and threw their weapons haphazardly on the ground.

More than a hundred miles away, Luo Yan activated his clairvoyance and clairaudience spells, taking in the situation of the Song army, and was immediately speechless.

I heard that the army attacking him was the Imperial Guard. Their equipment was not bad, but their discipline was really lax, and they seemed to have no fighting power at all.

The Imperial Guards of Kaifeng Prefecture haven't encountered war for many years. These guards are adept at delivering packages, doing business, decorating, and building houses in Kaifeng Prefecture, but when it comes to actual combat, they really don't have much fighting ability.

Moreover, in other dynasties, soldiers were recruited from good families and were honest people.

But not in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, all professions were considered inferior, and being a soldier was the lowest of the low.

In the Song Dynasty, the soldiers were mostly street ruffians and unemployed vagrants. Who would want to be a soldier if they were decent people? Without good recruits, how much combat power could you expect from such an imperial guard?

Seeing how weak the Song army was, Luo Yan felt relieved, put away his magic and returned to his camp, waiting for the Song army to arrive the next day so that he could defeat them decisively and bring them great wealth and glory.

……

The next day, the Song army broke camp and set up camp, and the army continued on its way.

Luo Yan simply organized a group of daring young people to cheer him on.

Luo Yan had not yet organized an army, and he did not intend to do so until he had defeated the Song army in a single battle and established unparalleled prestige.

When the two teams were facing each other several miles apart, Cai You couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the situation on Luo Yan's side.

"I thought the White Lotus Child, who was rumored to be incredibly powerful and a god descended to earth, would be all that amazing! But he's just a little kid. Are those few hundred people all his soldiers? They don't even have a decent weapon, yet they dare to rebel?"

General Cao was also all smiles. He had originally thought he would encounter tough opponents like Fang La and Song Jiang when he was sent to quell the rebellion, but now that he saw Luo Yan, he was overjoyed.

That army, which was even more pathetic than their Song army, was practically there to give him credit!

General Cao rode forward and came to Cai You's side, saying, "Lord Cai, I observe that the rebels' formation is sparse and ordinary. Please allow me to lead a thousand infantrymen to charge and cut off the rebels' heads, and present them to you, Lord Cai."

Cai You rolled his eyes and said, "Why would I offer it to you? You should offer it to the Emperor."

"Yes, yes, it's for His Majesty," General Cao said with a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head.

"Then I wish General Cao a great victory. Go forth and slay those traitors."

"Yes, sir! I obey!"

General Cao received the order to attack. His main force remained stationary, but he quickly mobilized a thousand vanguard infantrymen to charge towards Luo Yan's formation.

The young people behind Luo Yan trembled with fear when they saw the government troops charging towards them, and some even retreated and fled.

Luo Yan ignored the fleeing people.

He stepped forward from the crowd, standing before the thousands of soldiers, and said in a voice as loud as thunder: "Zhao Ji is a foolish and tyrannical ruler, whose actions are outrageous and rebellious, causing suffering to the people. Now I have descended to earth to attack Song and replace Zhao. What have the soldiers and civilians done to deserve this? Surrender and you will live."

Luo Yan's voice was so loud it hurt the soldiers' eardrums. They all looked at Luo Yan in astonishment, finding it hard to believe that a child could have such a loud voice.

General Cao's horse trembled as he sat down. He gripped the reins, rubbed his ears, and cursed, "You brat, spouting nonsense! The imperial army is here; prepare to die!"

General Cao drew his bow and shot an arrow at Luo Yan.

However, somewhat embarrassingly, this noble general had long neglected his martial arts skills. When he shot an arrow, it lost its momentum and fell to the ground when it was only seven or eight meters away from Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was speechless, and General Cao's face also turned slightly red.

Luo Yan chuckled and said, "Even the leader of the Emperor's Imperial Guard is this kind of person. I think the Song Dynasty is doomed."

After saying that, Luo Yan activated his magic power and used the "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" technique to manifest a fifty-meter-tall body. With a shake of his body, he grew three heads and six arms, holding various weapons.

His weapons include the Dark Gourd, a super-sized Jedi Lightsaber, the Titan's Hammer, a super-sized six-barreled Gatling gun, and the Demon Trident.

The Dark Gourd and the Demon God Trident were both gifts from Dragon Ball Luo Yan to him.

The Titan Hammer and the colossal six-barreled Gatling gun were given to him by Devouring Luo Yan.

The Titan Hammer is newly made; it is not the weapon of the Titan Luo Yan.

His hammer is thirty meters long and weighs 100,000 tons. No matter if the enemy has a body of copper and iron, or is indestructible, one blow will turn them into mud.

The colossal Gatling gun was ridiculously large, fifty meters long, the same height as Luo Yan, requiring both of his hands to lift it. Threads of bullets were wrapped around Luo Yan's Heavenly Sphere Ground, each bullet larger than two beer bottles.

"Gods... Gods! There really are gods!"

General Cao was utterly horrified and fell off his horse in shock, hitting his forehead on the ground and bumping his head without even realizing it.

"It's over, it's over. We've angered a true immortal. We're all doomed."

The thousand vanguard infantrymen were also dumbfounded, staring at Luo Yan's towering, mountain-like body. Their weapons fell from their hands, and their knees buckled, causing them to kneel on the ground.

"May the divine beings have mercy!"

"Please spare me, divine being!"

Various calls arose one after another, and the Song army, without even engaging in battle, was already filled with boundless fear, begging for surrender and mercy.

Seeing how weak these soldiers were, Luo Yan felt embarrassed to take action.

They are all Chinese men after all. Killing one's own compatriots does not make one a hero.

Frustrated, Luo Yan, carrying a giant Gatling gun, vented his anger by firing at the distant forest.

Those bullets, like those from a grenade launcher, instantly shattered the forest. Trees as thick as stone tables couldn't withstand the bombardment and were ravaged beyond recognition.

"You men of the Han dynasty have no backbone whatsoever! You have truly disgraced our ancestors of the Han and Tang dynasties!" Luo Yan reprimanded loudly.

He lowered the massive Gatling gun, its barrel radiating intense heat, and pointed it at General Cao.

General Cao smelled the pungent gunpowder smoke and looked at the dark, thick gun barrel, which was as thick as his arm. He felt a heat in his crotch and his face turned even paler.

He was reprimanded by Luo Yan, but he didn't utter a word of rebuttal. He just nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Furthermore, when Cai You saw Luo Yan's Dharma of Heaven and Earth, he was so frightened that he abandoned his army and led his personal guards to flee on horseback.

The remaining few thousand soldiers stood helplessly in place, neither daring to launch an attack nor afraid of angering the gods if they fled.

Luo Yan was reprimanding General Cao when he suddenly saw Cai You fleeing. He narrowed his eyes, pointed at Cai You, and asked General Cao, "Who was that?"

General Cao took a closer look and exclaimed, "Good heavens! This Cai fellow is a traitor who would rather die than let me die! He tricked me, but he ran away faster than a rabbit!"

He harbored resentment towards Cai You and shouted, "Immortal, that is Cai You, the eldest son of the treacherous minister Cai Jing. He was in charge of leading the troops to quell the rebellion. Immortal, you must not let such a treacherous minister get away with it!"

"Cai Jing's eldest son!"

Luo Yan's eyes turned cold. He hadn't read many history books and didn't know who Cai You was, but he did know Cai Jing, the head of the Six Traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the Four Great Traitors.

Cai Jing was undoubtedly a treacherous minister throughout history; what good could his son possibly be?

Luo Yan raised the Dark Gourd, activated the treasure with his magic power, and immediately released a beam of black light from the gourd's mouth, shooting several miles away and capturing Cai You, along with his personal guards, into the gourd.

Luo Yan gently shook the gourd, and in the blink of an eye, Cai You and several other mortals were completely turned into wine.

Chapter 199 Iron Eagle Warriors

The way Luo Yan captured Cai You from several miles away and then refined him in an instant terrified General Cao and his soldiers.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Luo Yan, for fear that they would also be sucked into the gourd.

When Luo Yan transformed into his Dharma form and subdued the Song army, the group of young people behind him erupted in cheers, all kneeling down and chanting the name of the Lotus Boy.

After dealing with the battle, Luo Yan ordered the young men to dispose of all the Song army's weapons and armor, and then bind and deal with them.

With Luo Yan as their backer, those young men, despite being outnumbered by the Song army, had no choice but to cooperate obediently, disarm themselves, and be bound.

Luo Yan captured these Song soldiers and brought them back to the camp. He began to interrogate them one by one, using mental magic to investigate whether they had done anything wrong in the past.

Those who committed heinous crimes were directly put into Luo Yan's gourd and turned into wine, while those whose crimes did not warrant death were sent to labor camps to atone for their sins through labor.

As for those whose crimes were minor or who were innocent, they were not punished at all.

On the contrary, Luo Yan also made them serve as his rank-and-file soldiers to help build up the army.

To Luo Yan's surprise, General Cao had not done anything wrong and was let off lightly.

During the Song Dynasty, military generals and nobles were closely watched by civil officials. General Cao was also naturally timid. In the past, he would spend money to frequent brothels and play football with others. He was law-abiding and had never made any mistakes.

Since General Cao was innocent, Luo Yan asked him to help build an army. After all, he was from a military family and should know more than Luo Yan, who was an outsider.

Having witnessed Luo Yan's power firsthand and hearing that he was going to form an army, the young men eagerly joined the army, wanting to serve Luo Yan.

Luo Yan's strength was such that he could conquer vast territories without an army.

But conquering a country is easy, but maintaining it is difficult. He also needed manpower to manage the people below, so he needed to train a group of junior officers to serve as assistants in the future administration.

He didn't care that these young men were inexperienced and didn't understand books or writing.

In the Heavenly Book, there is a spell called "Enlightenment," which can directly instill knowledge into the mind of the recipient.

Once the army was established, Luo Yan used a little magic to instill some of the knowledge in his mind, and instantly these young men all became modern talents proficient in mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, and biology.

Having absorbed Luo Yan's ideas and knowledge, these young men's eyes brightened, their minds cleared, and they were no longer confused.

With a clear ideology and awareness, and full of confidence and admiration for Luo Yan, such an army can be considered usable.

However, since their minds had been armed by Luo Yan, their bodies also had to be armed.

Luo Yan alone can subdue the world, but in the future, when war breaks out in various places and demons and rebels arise, will he have to take action? Naturally, he will rely on his subordinates to do the work.

If you want these young men to help you suppress the world, you naturally need to equip them with good gear.

Luo Yan retrieved nanomaterials from his inner world, transported mineral materials from beneath the earth, and produced individual mechs to arm his army.

These individual mechs are designed based on the Iron Patriot, equipped with various laser weapons and high-frequency weapons, making them virtually unmatched in this era of cold weapons.

Even if you encounter cultivators or demons and monsters, as long as you strike first, you can easily kill those who possess magic.

After all, even if one cultivates to the point of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, one is still a mortal with a mere peanut.

Only by becoming an immortal can one be considered a different kind of life, capable of withstanding conventional weapons.

Hundreds of young people, dressed in steel mechs, were named Iron Eagle Warriors by Luo Yan.

The so-called Iron Eagle Warriors were the special forces of the Qin state.

During the Qin Dynasty, the Iron Eagle Swordsmen were renowned throughout the land, with only a few hundred men in the entire army. They were a rare and special force. After Sima Cuo became the Supreme General, while retaining the selection system for the Iron Eagle Swordsmen, he established the Iron Eagle Elite Corps system.

The Qin army numbered 200,000, but the Iron Eagle Warriors numbered a mere 1,600. They were truly the elite of the elite.

The name "Iron Eagle Warriors" for this army of young people symbolizes that these young people are like eagles spreading their wings, full of ambition and pride.
