Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 116 Demon Suppressing Army

The protector of the country is analogous to the third-level Qingchao Captain.

This is a military honor, similar to a modern military rank.The third-grade Zheng has entered the general level.

From the white body to the appearance of the general, it is one step.

It's not a miracle, but it's hard to get this reward.

Zhou Yi turned the tide and blocked the demon army of Shuozhou that could have penetrated directly into Shuozhou bordering the southern Zhongzhou. Moreover, all the armies in this area were defeated and there was no usable army for a while.

In addition, not only stopped, but also defeated this demon army named Bone Mountain.

The generals of the Lishan Army were almost wiped out (concentrated in the camp to discuss affairs), [-]% of the elites were lost (they were able to be gathered again and again under the chaos, they were all elites in the army with a strong will to fight), and the ordinary Ding Yong was even more difficult to count. .

Thirdly, we also rescued a large number of defeated soldiers, fleeing civilians, and captured soldiers and civilians.

The combination of the three is a miraculous achievement.

After being granted the title of Protector of the Country, of course there are corresponding dignity, such as residence, treatment, benefits, etc., that's a lot.

The point is actually not this, the point is the official job.

The art troupe also has many high military ranks. How many soldiers can it command?
Therefore, authority mainly comes from position, and only from rank, which means nobleness and dignity.

Zhou Yi was awarded the title of General Zhaoyong of the third rank.

Although military generals are not very valuable in the official system, they are the generals who lead troops to fight, and they are genuine generals, not just some unknown generals, so their attitude is very clear and they must be put to good use.

The name of the new army, the Demon Suppressing Army, is also high-end. It can use words such as "Suppressing, Ding, Wei, Wu", which are more classy.

The general's tiger talisman's military seal, the command flag and the large banner, the ceremonial guard...

The court was serious and efficient. In three or four days, all these were prepared and matched.

The new order is to guard the southern region of Zhongzhou and wait for the army to gather.

In terms of military build-up, the imperial court suffered a moderate loss this time.

Due to overemphasis on quantity, lack of understanding of quality, and a small glimpse of the power of the demon army, the assembly point was placed too far forward. As a result, as soon as the demon army exerted its strength, the imperial court lost face. .

Among them, the south side suffered the most ugly defeat. The Skeleton Mountain Demon Army was overwhelming, but the imperial army was trying to save Grandpa by the gourd boy. One came and the other was destroyed.

As a result, the new assembly point was moved back, and a large number of observers were dispatched. Those troops who were just pretending to be useless should not join in the fun. They were wasting ammunition, wasting food, destroying morale, and affecting the layout. What should they do?

Under such a background, more time is needed to operate, so there must be people up front who can fight and carry.

After this round of competition with the demon army, some good ones emerged.

The Book of Changes is a weird one. Some people said in unconvincing and sarcastic words: "One person can serve as an army of millions. If you want officers and soldiers, just send a few beautiful maids to express your condolences!"

Well, the court is not too worried. Even if they are really good at fighting, the fact that victory or defeat depends on the strength of one person still makes people feel uncomfortable.

After all, this is not a mythical age where great power belongs to itself.Although extraordinary beings are also very good at fighting, they have never been able to fight like this before.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was not given more troops, but was asked to collect remnant soldiers everywhere.

At Wusheng Pass further south, the real army, which the court considered reliable, was gathering.

Inside the Demon Suppressing Army, it was another scene.

First of all, the officials and subordinates were absolutely convinced of Zhou Yi's combat effectiveness.

In their private words: "This is the current God of War!"

Secondly, it’s nothing.

Because the demon-suppressing army really relies on Zhouyi, rather than relying on the number of people under it.

Zhou Yi's employment method can also be regarded as a model of nepotism.

The twenty or so riders from the Jing Yao Division, as well as the generals who survived the attack on the Bone Mountain Demon Army with him, are his generals and assistants.

Someone among the riders reported: "Master, I am not a commander. I have never learned how to do it."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to learn it. You can serve as an officer under me, as long as you have a brain."

"..."

Well, whether you say he is overconfident or ignorant, he is just so arbitrary and dictatorial.

But is Zhou Yi really so clueless?
Naturally not.

It's just that the perspective of looking at things is different from that of ordinary people.

He's not afraid of screwing up.

Experimentation is the first purpose.

Moreover, he can cheat these people.

Cheating starts with killing people.

In just a few days, Gu Yanwang's name was already called in the barracks.

During this period of time, the demon-suppressing army only dared to do two things: search for defeated soldiers and enforce military discipline.

Every morning, Zhou Yi would make a calculation, then dispatch troops and generals, and send out troops one after another to pursue the fugitives.Capture the defeated soldiers.In fact, that includes refugees.

They were all captured and screened, and some were released while others were captured and made young.

In terms of military discipline, if you make a mistake once, you will receive verbal education; if you make a mistake twice, you will be punished corporally; if you make a mistake three times, you will be beheaded.

What does it mean to rule by terror? The Demon Suppression Army is just that.

Don't say that the quality of illiteracy is low, or that you are not attentive enough. If you can't remember it, you will die. If you have a strong head, you can try it.

I remember everything, but I didn’t perform well on the spot, and I panic when there are more people...

Then you deserve to die!If you don't perform well on the battlefield, will the enemy let you go?Your comrades are being implicated by you, are they unjust or not?

So, it's so cruel.

People die every day, the wear and tear is huge, and the resentment is skyrocketing, just right!
Without this huge resentment, how can we mobilize the huge evil power?
Relying on Zhou Yi alone?Don't look at the joke, how much mental power does he have?

So, cheating starts with killing people.Large quantities of secondary magic weapons were refined and human sacrifices were made.

Of course, it’s not just about killing.

For example, Zhouyi introduced the non-commissioned officer system.

The corps commander, chief, and captain are all non-commissioned officers and are elected by everyone.

Those chosen by one's own family must be recognized by one's own family. This can reduce resentment to a certain extent.

Zhou Yi also repeatedly emphasized that only looking at the results and not the process, if you have the ability, you can eat, drink and sleep every day, but if you don't perform well, don't blame the ruthless military law.

In fact, this is just bullshit. The whole army has attracted evil into their bodies and become white mice. They mainly rely on the beautiful dance and Xiao Zhoutian style to resolve it every day.It's impossible to take any time off.

Even so, some people can't bear the pain and collapse and go crazy.

And these negative emotions of the whole army were also collected by the magic circle and used to sacrifice secondary magic weapons.

Otherwise, what is caused by killing alone will not be enough?
Officers are treated differently.

They started from the head of the village and managed hundreds of people.Equivalent to a modern company commander.

Next up is Qu, with a military marquis and 500 people in charge.

As well as the Ministry, there is a school captain.Manage thousands of people.

The five divisions form an army with a general.Zhou Yi is the general.

Five thousand soldiers may not seem like much, but in this era, it is actually not that few.

After all, these are all serious soldiers, and they are elite soldiers.

Others who often claim to be in the tens of thousands are the auxiliary soldiers of the company, and even the young men who temporarily transport food and supplies are counted. If you exaggerate it, you can only have that scale.

The officer brings the spirit into the body.

It's not that Zhou Yi pities the beauty, but that he has practical needs.

According to his rules, officers do not usually dictate. Maintaining military discipline and conducting training are all formulated by non-commissioned officers.

During wartime, officers are responsible for tactical arrangements and combat command.

Each of them has to carry a protective flag, just like the ones used by Wu Sheng who play generals in Peking Opera.

This is a signal flag, a secondary magic weapon, which facilitates communication with each other and is also used to control the troops in the headquarters.

In this way, even if you can't use your arms and fingers, it's not much different.

This level of communication conditions is epoch-making.

Since it is important, it needs to be strengthened and the mind must be kept clear and alert at all times.

Then it must be spirit, not evil spirit.

It has the side effect of blunting thinking. It is great to create simple-minded, loyal and strong soldiers, but commanders cannot do this.

In addition, using the back flag to communicate also consumes spiritual energy.It uses spiritual power as a carrier and carries mental information to achieve telepathy-like effects.This is the principle of communication.

And you must ride a horse, be condescending, and have a wide field of vision to facilitate wisdom.

Because such officers and assistants are conspicuous, they can easily become targets for the enemy to kill first. Therefore, protection must be strengthened. Human armor and horse armor are both secondary magic weapons.

It is also equipped with mounted guards focused on protecting against long-range strikes.

All in all, the Demon Suppression Army is an experimental army.

Due to sufficient supplies, Zhou Yi also formed an auxiliary army of more than 6000 people.

It is also a kind of spiritual attraction, but the formula is different.

This engineering unit does not practice military performance every day, but works hard to digest the evil force.

Under cruel military law and in painful suffering, these auxiliary troops worked like crazy every day. In a short period of time, they managed the logistics in order and strived for excellence.

Someone cried to Guan Zuo: "Give me a way to survive, my lord, if you suffer like this, you will be tortured to death!"

Zhou Yi said: "It is only possible to be driven crazy, but not to be tortured to death. On the contrary, the longer you endure, the more tyrannical your physique becomes."

Then he said: "When you feel that you can't hold on anymore and are about to collapse, just think about your wives, children and family. What should they do if you lose the backbone of the family?
So, hold on, Master, my salary is paid once a month, never withheld, and there are many rewards.In order to prevent you from bleeding and crying, the Hongxin Team has been specially formed to ensure that every copper you earn can fall into the hands of your family instead of being floated or missing. "

In fact, no matter ancient or modern, as long as you give enough money, you really don’t have to worry about no one doing it.

The only three reasons for the so-called inability to recruit workers are high risks, too little profit, and too dark intentions.

In just ten days, the demon-suppressing army went from being defeated to a completely reborn army.

The three major elements of whips, heavy profits, and extraordinary blessings make people cry out from the torment, bursting out unprecedented energy, and tempering themselves into the tools Shangguan needs.

Is this the distortion of human nature, the loss of morality, and the sorrow of the times?

Zhou Yi doesn't think so. Compared with the hundreds of people who were slaughtered during the Wuhu chaos in China, and the roosters that don't crow for thousands of miles, these are just the necessary price and a little labor pain.

"Kill! Making great achievements is just around the corner. Do you want to retire and retire from the army? If you do this, you will have won half the battle!"

Zhouyi's mobilization speeches are full of the rancid smell of money, but everyone likes to listen to this.Illiterate people are like this. Without money, everything they talk about is nonsense!

"What, the demon-suppressing army acted rashly and took the initiative? How many days have they been established? Do you understand the flag? What a mess!" The generalissimo who was sitting in the center of the army had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Some of the officials nearby suggested that the culprit should be investigated and punished as a warning to others, and some suggested that the army from Wusheng Pass in the south should be moved into position in advance. They were noisy and lively.

"Report! The demon-suppressing army defeated the reorganized Skeleton Mountain demon army, beheaded more than ten thousand people, and marched thirty miles north!"

There was a sudden silence in the camp, and an awkward atmosphere immediately took hold.

The Grand Marshal cleared his throat and said, "We'll investigate again and send a flying dragon to confirm."

After all, there is an extraordinary world, and it is still a bit of a magical thing. Flying dragons are actually big flying lizards. It is difficult to reproduce, difficult to domesticate, and they are carnivorous. Therefore, the number is always limited, and they are mainly used in strong combat. reconnaissance.

Even under huge battle pressure, we still have to understand the situation clearly.

The only way to confirm Zhou Yi's actions in time before was through the use of Feilong.

The camp was still awkward, and someone murmured: "It's not a big deal to pick up a defeated demon army and beat it to death."

Although the voice was small, everyone heard it due to the silence in the tent.

The Marshal said nothing.

About half an hour later, someone came to report again.

People thought that Feilong had confirmed the information and came back, but it turned out not to be the case.

"Report, the Demon Suppressing Army annihilated the White Claw Demon Army that was rescuing the remnants of the Bone Mountain. All members above the centurion died in the battle, the military flag was taken away, and none of the escapees survived!"

The silence in the military tent was once again audible.

After a while, someone was indignant: "There must be a mistake somewhere. The White Claw Demon Army has 5000 soldiers, how could it be surrounded and annihilated by [-] people?"

Finally, someone spoke for Zhou Yi: "When the ghost-hand Gu Xiong came from the north, he was able to destroy thousands of troops with a hundred cavalry, and the loss was broken by ten thousand in one small danger."

"How can it be the same? The Skeleton Mountain demon army was arrogant and arrogant at the time, and they were exhausted from fighting..."

The marshal spoke: "Send out another flying dragon to confirm!"

Not long after finishing speaking, the summoner came again: "Report, Gu Xiong, the protector of the country, killed 57 sorcerers in the fourth sorcerer's troupe, and the great witch Angsa was decapitated and whipped to death."

"..."

"Isn't this, this, too cruel?"

The first confirmed flying dragon is back. The Skeleton Mountain Demon Army is really finished this time. The backbone is broken and corpses are everywhere. Ten thousand is not to mention, there are so many silly wanderings that the Demon Suppressing Army is too lazy to go. kill.

The second flying dragon came back quickly, because it was easy to confirm that the White Claw Demon Army was built in Jingguan. There were corpses below and heads above, more than ten meters high. It was such a big pile that it was difficult to miss it.

"..."

"Report, the demon-suppressing army attacked the blood-eyed army of the left army of the Earth Demon Southern Front. They broke through seventeen formations in a row. The blood-eyed army lay dead for ten miles. The general died in the battle. The remaining troops were defeated and the demon-suppressing army did not pursue them."

Huh... There was a sound of breathing in the tent, as if to say: The fuss is over.

Now that the fuss is over, the earth demon's military strength in the southern part of Zhongzhou has been wiped out in one fell swoop.There is still one in the second line, which can play well, but it is mainly responsible for logistics.

Now we have to retreat in a hurry.

The Demon Suppressing Army is so good at fighting. If nothing else, just this physical ability is incredible.What is tirelessness?
At the scene, Zhou Yi, who was respectfully defended by his officers and subordinates, looked at the demon-suppressing army soldiers who were howling and venting like a chaotic dance of demons with a blank face, and sighed in his heart: "It's another failed product, it won't live for a few more years!"...
