The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 The Road to a Strong Army
The destruction of Kuaiji Shanyue represented the elimination of the rebel forces that had occupied southern Yangzhou for many years.

At the same time, this also represents the complete ownership of Yangzhou.The prefects of all counties expressed their allegiance to Chen Ran.The two counties of Kuaiji and Yuzhang have already become Chen Ran's most loyal supporters after experiencing the crusade against Shanyue.

After eight months passed, Chen Ran led the army back to Jiujiang County after resting in Kuaiji.

After the war, the army lost nearly ten thousand, which cannot be said to be much, but it is definitely not much.Most of them were lost during the battle in Yuzhang, and the rest were casualties during the implementation of tricks to lure the enemy.

Fortunately, the Shenji Battalion's troop training was very successful, showing extraordinary natural combat power.And there was no loss in the battle.

And even though the God Killing Army had injured thousands of people when they attacked the mountain village, no one died.Although some of the God-killing Army were injured, the God-killing Army who had gone through this bloody battle was obviously more suitable.

Just like when Chen Ran led the army to snipe and kill [-] foreigners, the God-killing army at that time had experienced many battles, and they were already integrated.

Today's Killing God Army is very strong, but compared to that, it seems insufficient.Now that there is a deadly battle, the strength of the Killing God Army has obviously improved significantly.

They are different from the general army, they are bug-like teams.Because they have extraordinary physical strength and abnormally powerful combat power.

Chen Ran is not quite sure whether it is a system addition or something else.Anyway, there is only one thing that can be determined, and that is that the Killing God Army is indeed very strong.

As for the other armies, after a great battle, they also experienced obvious growth.Recruits who have not experienced combat will never know the cruelty of war.

Similarly, only after going through battles and the test of blood can they become a truly powerful army.

And at this moment, they obviously did.The army has grown.Although not all the army followed Chen Ran to fight.But such morale definitely doesn't just affect one person.

Their influence is all-round, everyone, the morale of the entire army will be mobilized.

At that time, the army will be mixed again, which will have a great impact on the morale of the entire army.

Previously, the army under Chen Ran's command, including the troops stationed in the three counties, should have 5000 people, which did not include the [-] Killing God Army, the [-] Shenji Battalion, and the [-] Water Army.

After the crusade against Shanyue, the infantry lost nearly ten thousand, and the navy also suffered thousands of casualties.These are of course to be supplemented.Chen Ran already had a plan for this matter.

It was the infantry, and Chen Ran planned to expand it to 5 soldiers.The navy remains the same, it just makes up for lost numbers.

Because the Naval Ship Division had already received orders from Chen Ran, they did not continue to manufacture the small treasure ships that are currently equipped by the navy, but went all out to manufacture medium and large treasure ships.

This is Chen Ran preparing for training the navy.Only the navy is not enough.Chen Ran, who came across time, is very aware of the importance of the navy, so he wants to seize the opportunity.

The Killing God Army and the Shenji Battalion will naturally maintain the current establishment. Chen Ran is not in a hurry to expand, he needs to digest it.Rapid expansion of troops does not necessarily mean strength. If it is a group of mobs, it will be even more embarrassing.

What Chen Ran wants is the elite, not just filling in the numbers.

For Chen Ran, food is no longer a problem for him after planting the improved version of hybrid rice.Enough to sustain him for a long time to feed a large army.

And the food is still being replenished one after another, the speed is so fast that it is outrageous.Although Chen Ran did not block the news of hybrid rice, the foundation was firmly in his hands.

Unless he died and Shouchun fell, the initiative of hybrid rice would always be in his hands.There is no doubt about it.

In this era, controlling food does not mean controlling everything, but it is also quite deterrent.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the strength of Chen Ran's expanded army, and he was not in a hurry.And he doesn't have the place to use so many troops now.

Apart from the treasure ship, Chen Ran ordered the Ordnance Department to continue building armor. Chen Ran's goal was to equip the entire army with Mingguang armor.

But these Mingguang armors are naturally different.The Mingguang armor of the Killing God Army is refined, finely crafted, and of extremely high quality.And armed with an army of [-] to [-], such a number is really too large.

Chen Ran reckoned that if they were all armed to kill the gods with such bright armor, they might not be able to do it in a few years.Chen Ran's plan is to appropriately reduce the requirements on the basis of mass production, and create the so-called low-profile version of Mingguang armor.

Although this kind of bright light armor will lag behind the bright light armor equipped by the Killing God Army in terms of defense, it can be built at a faster speed, and it can also be built within the time required by Chen Ran.

Moreover, the ordinary army does not have such high-intensity battles as the Killing God Army. In fact, the demand for armor is not as high as that of the Killing God Army. The low-end Mingguang armor is enough.

If it was before, Chen Ran actually did not have the confidence to build so many bright light armors. After all, this requires not only technology, but also a huge amount of iron ore.

But Chen Ran doesn't have to worry now, after defeating Yuzhang Kuaiji Shanyue, he has obtained a large amount of iron ore from it.

Chen Ran even set up a mine supervisor to supervise the mining of ore when he left.As for the workers, they recruited a group of workers from the surrounding people through the method of calculating work and receiving value.

Today's people are not like modern people, who are slack in doing things. Since they accept Chen Ran's employment, they are unambiguous in doing things.

Of course, Chen Ran did not treat them badly, the wages would definitely not be less, and in their opinion, it was still too much.Just like before Chen Ran recruited craftsmen, it was beyond their imagination.

Anyway, to Chen Ran, as long as they do things with all their heart, this small amount of money is nothing.

Although the sugarcane industry is not developed today, it cannot generate a large amount of income.But if Chen Ran made up his mind to sell grain.

With the quantity and quality of the grain he reserves, he will definitely be able to make a fortune.

So money really isn't an issue.

After all, these iron ores are related to his plan to strengthen the army.How can an elite and powerful army not have excellent weapons?This is absolutely impossible.

With iron, all kinds of weapons can be forged, not just Mingguang armor.

At the same time, what Chen Ran ordered was the new weapon that Chen Ran asked them to develop to kill the God's Army.

Chen Ran didn't have blueprints, but he was inspired by the blueprints of Mingguang Armor, and used forging techniques beyond the times to create a weapon with high armor penetration and strong assault.

This is a perfect match for the Killing God Army, and it will definitely increase the combat power of the Killing God Army.Perhaps it can become a great weapon for killing the gods' army across the battlefield.
