Let you rebel, you build the Immortal Kingdom of Longevity?

Chapter 17 Magical Soldiers
In this world, the personal strength of warriors is very strong.

At the seventh rank, one person can control one county.

But it doesn't mean that every county has seventh-rank warriors sitting in town.

Most of the county towns only have a number of eighth-rank peak warriors sitting in town.

"What brother Jinglei said is true. It's just that the rebel army lacks cavalry and siege equipment, and they don't know much about the enemy's forces. It may be difficult to attack immediately..."

He had naturally thought about taking the initiative to attack before, but to be on the safe side, he chose to recuperate.

Si Jinglei nodded approvingly, and asked again: "Let me take the liberty to ask, the general's strength, and the rebel army's strength?"

Xia Hao glanced at Si Jinglei, thought for a while, and didn't hide anything. At this moment, he should treat each other more sincerely.

"I just broke through to the sixth-rank realm. The rebel army has three eighth-rank warriors, sixteen nine-rank warriors, and has more than 1600 combatable soldiers."

This includes defected officers and recruits who have already been recruited.

"Sixth grade?"

Si Jinglei was shocked, his strength was enough to run across a county.

"If the general has already reached the sixth-rank realm, then there is a [-]% certainty that he will conquer Lingju County. As for the ladders and other equipment for attacking the city, I know a thing or two..."

……

After talking for a while, Xia Hao made a quick decision and decided to let Si Jinglei be responsible for collecting specific information about Haomen and Lingju counties and guide the production of siege equipment.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

And he will continue to integrate the surrendered officers and troops, train recruits, and be ready to attack at any time when everything is clear.

Soon, the blocked city gate opened again, and the scouts disappeared into the sky one by one.

……

In a "Yun's" blacksmith shop, Xia Hao handed the captured dark golden spear to the old blacksmith in the shop.

"Master, can you forge this spear into a sword?"

The old blacksmith was nearly fifty years old, and his body was fleshy, red and dark from the fire, revealing a masculine air.

This is a time-honored brand in Yuzhong City. After the rebel army occupied the city, it also made weapons for the rebel army many times.

The old blacksmith took the spear, looked at it carefully, and recognized the material of the spear.

The whole body is made of "Chi Xuan Gold" and weighs about a hundred catties. It is difficult for ordinary eighth-rank warriors to use it freely.

"General, this long spear has already been forged. If you want to forge it into a knife, you don't need too much trouble. It will take about three days."

Xia Hao smiled and nodded, "Then I'll bother you, master. I'll come back to pick it up in three days."

From his bosom, he took out a gold ingot, about twelve taels, and put it on the case.

"Master, this is the reward."

"General, you must not do this." The old blacksmith refused quickly. He had already recognized Xia Hao, the leader of the rebel army, so how could he dare to accept money.

"Master, our rebel army will never take anything by force. It's what you deserve and must be given to you." Xia Hao said firmly.

As the leader of the rebel army, he must lead by example, and only by leading the subordinates can he establish a good atmosphere.

Since he took over the rebel army, it can be said that orders and prohibitions have been followed, and he has kept his promises.

Some rebel soldiers who broke into private houses and bullied the weak were severely punished by him in front of thousands of people in Yuzhong City.

The resolute and iron-fisted methods of governing the army have improved the military discipline of the rebel army in a straight line.

It also changed the attitude of the people in Yuzhong City towards the rebels.

Seeing Xia Hao's insistence and repeated refusals, the old blacksmith reluctantly accepted the gold ingot.

After Xia Hao left, the old blacksmith dug out a piece of black iron from under the floor tiles in the house, and felt a little bit reluctant. This was a strange metal he had obtained by chance before, and it was a hundred times more precious than "Red Dazzling Gold".

"I have had you for more than ten years, and using you to forge a magical weapon that cuts iron like clay for General Xia is not an insult to you."

……

The city lord's mansion, the meeting hall for the soldiers of the rebel army.

Xia Hao sat at the main seat, Li Xing, Zhang San, Wang Tie, Si Jinglei, four eighth-rank warriors, and sixteen ninth-rank warriors all gathered together, lined up on the left and right sides.

At this time, it had been seven days since Si Jinglei joined the rebel army, and everything was ready, and they discussed the matter of dispatching troops together.

Si Jinglei was the first to speak out, and informed everyone of the detected news:

"General, everyone, at present, Lingju County, which is adjacent to my Yuzhong City, has already been occupied by other forces. The leader of the other party is Xu Wei. His strength is unknown. It may have reached the seventh-rank realm, with an army of 200 to [-] people... …

Haomen County is still occupied by the army. It has [-] soldiers, including [-] cavalry. Because it was defeated by us half a month ago, it is now recuperating and dispatched at the right time.According to the investigation, there may be six-level masters and two seventh-level warriors among the official army.

However, the official army is responsible for attacking the entire Jincheng County and surrounding counties, and may not have time to take care of us..."

After Si Jinglei finished speaking, Xia Hao looked at Li Xing again and asked:

"Lieutenant Li, how are the materials and equipment prepared?"

If it is to attack the city, without siege equipment such as ladders, it is impossible to attack, unless the city is besieged with a large army, and the city is exhausted.

However, the rebels naturally do not have the strength and resources.

Li Xing replied in a respectful voice: "General, all the siege equipment has been prepared, and one hundred ladders have been obtained. The three hundred armored men have also been trained properly and can be the vanguard of the siege. There are also more than three hundred bows and crossbows, which can be used as cover... It's just that we lack cavalry, and if we fail to attack the city, the entire army may be wiped out."

Li Xing showed a worried look, and Wang Tie, Zhang San and others also showed worries.

Nowadays, the rebel army's rule in Yuzhong City has become more and more stable. Together with the surrendered officers and soldiers and new soldiers, they have initially formed combat effectiveness.

Coupled with Xia Hao's deterrent force, it can be said that Yuzhong City is as solid as gold.

But this is just to take advantage of the geographical advantage and defend.

In the age of cold weapons, attacking a city and defending it were not the same level of difficulty.

It's okay to defend the city, but it's a little bit reluctant to take the initiative.

In the absence of cavalry, once it loses, it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out.

Xia Hao shook his head and said: "If you want to occupy the territory quickly, how can you not take a little risk. Now that everything is prepared, I will personally lead the troops into Lingju County for this battle."

"Now, my command is as follows:
Zhang San, Si Jinglei, Li Daogong, Ren Erdan... and [-] troops will go to Lingju County, and I will personally lead the team.

Order Li Xing and Wang Tie to lead the remaining rebel brothers to defend Yuzhong City and wait for our good news. "

The battle order is very simple, the rebel army only occupies one county, with only a thousand soldiers, Xia Hao is already quite cautious.

"Yes!" Si Jinglei, Li Xing and others all looked serious and excited.

If they can occupy Lingju County and become mutual horns, the future of the rebel army will be promising.

Soon, the entire Yuzhong City was mobilized, and the dry rations, water belts, weapons, herbs, equipment, etc. for the battle were intensively prepared.

Although Lingju County is not far from Yuzhong County, it is still a two-day journey. Between the round trip and the battle, we must prepare dry food and water for about a week.

Everything is ready and everything is ready.

The next day, early morning.

Xia Hao led a thousand rebel soldiers, filed out from the city gate, and galloped towards Lingju County.
