Chapter 434: The shocking Pixiu army, Cao Bianjiao's right-hand man
The setting sun shines on the sky, casting patches of golden and red sunset glow.
Under the rosy glow of the sky, teams of Renaissance Army soldiers dressed in black clothes and armor were carrying out post-war cleanup work.
This was a subordinate tribe of the large Mongolian tribe of Khorchin, which had been slaughtered by the soldiers of the Pixiu Legion that had come roaring in.
However, the more than 400,000 soldiers of the Pixiu Legion appeared to be very orderly and had skilled routines even during the post-war cleanup work, and there was no sign of chaos.
All this is thanks to Liu Zhiqing, the deputy commander of the Pixiu Corps.
Liu Zhiqing, who is known as the strongest rising star in the Renaissance Army, has been able to fully display his extraordinary talents since he was transferred to the Pixiu Corps as deputy commander a year ago to assist Cao Bianjiao in managing the Pixiu Corps. He has built the Pixiu Corps into the largest, most powerful and best-disciplined super legion in the Renaissance Army!
Not only did his own cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of level five, but he also, together with Cao Bianjiao, led an invincible super army.
"Report to the commander!"
Liu Zhiqing jumped over to the devastated center of the Tatar tribe and reported to Cao Bianjiao, "In this battle, our army wiped out a total of 1,075,638 people from this medium-sized Tatar tribe!"
"We have seized more than 130,000 spiritual beasts and war horses of all levels, including more than 5,000 high-quality and top-quality dragon-scale horses that meet our army's requirements. We have already recruited them into the army to prepare for the next round of expansion."
"Because we adopted the surprise attack tactics launched in the early morning, and our army's strength overwhelmed the enemy, our army suffered less than 300 casualties in this battle, and won another complete victory."
"The number of Han people rescued has reached more than 30,000, and they have been incorporated into the logistics brigade."
"After this battle, our army's logistics brigade has reached more than million personnel, and the number of recruit training camps has increased to nine. It is estimated that after three months, there will be about 50,000 additional warrior recruits."
He just turned nineteen, and his slightly immature face was full of joy. "If nothing unexpected happens, in three months, the number of warriors in our Pixiu Corps will exceed 500,000, and it will be just around the corner for us to become the largest corps in the Renaissance Army!"
As the deputy commander of the Pixiu Legion, he was naturally very happy about the rapid growth of his own legion.
"very good!"
"Ah Qing, thank you so much."
Cao Bianjiao stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, patted Liu Zhiqing on the shoulder and said, "I don't know what's wrong with your brain, kid? Managing such a huge army in your hands is as easy as eating and drinking."
"As long as we wipe out the entire Khorchin tribe and their affiliated tribes in the next few months, it won't be a problem for our Pixiu Corps to have more than 600,000 soldiers!"
"Hahaha……"
Cao Bianjiao became happier and happier as he spoke, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I guess the commander-in-chief would never have thought that our Pixiu Corps would grow so fast. In the past year, we have expanded our territory by nearly a million miles. I just want to ask, who else is there?"
No wonder they are so happy.
Even Huo Qubing, the champion of the Han Dynasty, was not as good as the Pixiu Legion in terms of combat performance, so it was destined that he would go down in history.
This is an achievement in expanding territory, which is far beyond comparison with any other military achievements.
Cao Bianjiao is very good at leading troops in battle and has been invincible on the prairie for more than a year, but he is not very good at military and political management.
If Liu Zhiqing hadn't helped the village, he would have been in a state of panic long ago, and wouldn't even have thought about developing the Pi Xiu Corps so well.
Just look at the Taotie Legion led by You Shilu, who fought alongside him, and you will know.
Although You Shilu has the help of hundreds of core members of the You family, and started half a year earlier than the Pi Xiu Legion, he is now far inferior to his own Pi Xiu Legion in all aspects.
There is only one main reason: there is no peerless genius like Liu Zhiqing in the Taotie Legion.
It has to be said that Cao Bianjiao, the peerless military general, and Liu Zhiqing, the rising star, are a perfect match.
Cao Bianjiao only needed to fight and kill the enemies, and all other military and political management would be left to Liu Zhiqing. He didn't need to worry about any trivial matters at all.
"Commander, when our army destroys the loyal Khorchin tribe of the Later Jin Tartars, we will surely receive reinforcements from Huang Taiji."
Liu Zhiqing then gave his own suggestion, "Although we are not afraid of the enemy, for the sake of safety, we still need to negotiate with Commander You Shilu and improve the attack plan."
"The Later Jin Tartars that the Military Intelligence Department specifically emphasized now have nine level six dragons that are the guardian spirit beasts of the country, and one of them is a peak level six dragon king."
"Once the enemy's reinforcements bring several level six dragons with them, we will be under great pressure."
"Even if they can form a formation to protect themselves, they will be powerless in attack."
Considering the current size and eliteness of the Pixiu Legion, it is not to the extent that they are afraid of a few level six dragons.
No matter how powerful the cultivation of those dragons was, it had not exceeded the Qi Refining Stage, and was not enough to crush the Pixiu Legion.
However, a level six dragon that can fly into the sky and into the sea will undoubtedly greatly suppress our side, especially in terms of air superiority and military intelligence detection.
Cao Bianjiao, who is already in the middle stage of level six, can only deal with two late stage of level six dragons even though he has an extremely powerful innate divine weapon and a middle stage of level six spiritual bird mount. It is impossible for him to defeat the Black Dragon King.
The Black Flood Dragon Clan is the most powerful among the Flood Dragon Clan, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are invincible at the same level.
Although the opponent does not have his own divine weapon and will not form a formation to attack, the Black Dragon King's cultivation at the peak of level six is enough to defeat the combined efforts of Cao Bianjiao and his mount, the Great White Crane.
Once the air superiority is lost, the intelligence information obtained by the own army will be blocked by the enemy, which is very disadvantageous to the Pixiu Army.
The Later Jin Tartars could easily dispatch an army of one million to come to the rescue, which was enough to firmly suppress the Pi Xiu Legion in terms of manpower and combat effectiveness.
Unless the Pixiu Army and the Taotie Army work closely together, they will be able to cope with it.
"Well, that's a tricky question."
After hearing this, Cao Bianjiao pondered for a while, frowned and said, "Then go contact General You Shilu and explain the situation to him in detail. Our army will temporarily rest here for a few days and wait for the Taotie Army to come and join us."
During this period of time, their Pixiu Legion's raids across the prairie were too fast, leaving the Taotie Legion, which was originally advancing at the same pace, thousands of miles behind.
Three months ago, their two major legions advanced from west to east, carrying out a dragnet-style cleanup of the prairie north of the Great Wall, destroying countless Mongolian tribes of all sizes.
It can be said that the soldiers are fighting almost every day.
This tactic is also required by the military.
This was to do its utmost to eliminate the Tatar threat in the northern border areas of the Ming Dynasty before the Ming court migrated south, and to prepare for the smooth acceptance of the vast areas north of the Yellow River.
"Hey!"
Cao Bianjiao thought of something again and sighed, "If only the commander-in-chief was here, it would be great. Even if the Later Jin Tartars sent a main force to help us and brought a few level six dragons with them, it wouldn't be a big deal."
"As long as I join forces with the commander-in-chief, I will not be afraid of the Black Dragon King. I can even kill any dragon in the late sixth stage!" He was very clear about Li Dingguo's combat effectiveness.
Over the past year, I have already removed the seventh seal of my innate divine artifact, the Wuliang Tower, and I guess the commander-in-chief is about the same.
Both of them have top-level innate magical weapons. After Cao Bianjiao broke through to the middle stage of the sixth level, he knew too well how outrageous the power of his own innate magical weapon was.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Black Dragon King does not attack in person, he is not afraid of any late-stage sixth-level dragon.
If he joins forces with Li Dingguo, even if there are a few mid-to-late stage level six giant dragons and a million-strong Tartar army, they will still be able to make the other side pay for it!
"Chirp..."
At this time, a very clear eagle cry came from the sky. Cao Bianjiao and Liu Zhiqing hurriedly looked up and looked in the direction of the sound.
All I saw was a golden streak of light flying from the southern sky, and in an instant it arrived over the Tatar tribe that had just ended a war.
The visitor was a large golden eagle that the two were very familiar with.
It circled in the air for a while and then swooped down, landing not far in front of Cao Bianjiao in an instant!
"It's the Great Commander! And the Great Jin!"
"Meet the Commander-in-Chief!"...
When Cao Bianjiao and Liu Zhiqing saw who the visitor was, they were overjoyed and hurried forward to greet him.
"Whoosh!"
Li Dingguo jumped down from the back of the golden eagle, came to Cao Bianjiao and Liu Zhiqing, and said with a smile, "No need to be polite!"
"Commander Cao, Commander Liu, you have developed the Pixiu Army very well!"
Li Dingguo had previously looked down from high in the sky and was surprised to find that the scale and appearance of this Pi Xiu army was the best he had ever seen in his life, and he could not help but be shocked.
It is no exaggeration to say that the other main combat corps of the Fuxing Army are far superior to the Ming official army in all aspects, and are also much better than the Later Jin Tartars.
But Li Dingguo just discovered that this Pixiu Legion, which he had never inspected before, was superior to the other legions in all aspects.
Moreover, under the influence of his huge divine consciousness, the number of warriors and soldiers in this Pixiu Legion is beyond imagination!
The most outrageous thing is that not only does the Pixiu Legion have about 500,000 warriors and combat soldiers, but it also has a logistics brigade with more than one million people, each with two horses per person!
This is outrageous!
This guy Cao Bianjiao obviously doesn't have this ability.
So……
He looked at Liu Zhiqing, who was looking so heroic in front of him, and already had an idea in his mind.
If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why this Pixiu Army has been able to develop so well is most likely related to Liu Zhiqing, a rising star in the army with a great reputation.
He had heard of Liu Zhiqing's reputation in recent years, but now it seems that he had greatly underestimated his evilness.
Cao Yongxiang and Hongmei's military and political management level is already good enough, but Liu Zhiqing can actually surpass them both!
"hey-hey……"
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao touched his head with his hand a little embarrassedly and said, "This is all Liu Zhiqing's credit. I only take care of the battles, and leave the rest of the military affairs to him."
"I also didn't expect that Ah Qing could do so well."
He has a straightforward character and will not pretend to know something he does not. He always speaks the truth.
"Not bad, Liu Zhiqing, you are very good."
Li Dingguo praised him and then turned to the main topic, "I came north this time for something extremely important. Now that I see the Pixiu Army, I feel more confident."
"The thing is like this..."
He explained in detail to Cao Bianjiao and Liu Zhiqing the impending migration of the Ming court to the city of Nanjing, and the Guanning Army's plan to surrender to Huang Taiji.
"Damn it! I will grind these traitorous dogs to dust!"
"These Liaodong generals really regard the Guanning area as their own private land. What a rosy dream!"
"Commander-in-chief, there is no doubt that our Pixiu Corps is confident that we can wipe out these traitorous dogs!"
"When the time comes, their entire clan must be wiped out and their roots must be eradicated!"...
Cao Bianjiao and Liu Zhiqing were immediately furious, their eyes turned red and they cursed in rage.
Especially Cao Bianjiao, what he hated most was the traitor who betrayed his ancestors and sold out his country for fame and fortune. He was so angry that his face turned red, his whole body was shaking, and he was full of murderous intent.
"Don't worry, the two of you. I made a special trip north this time to lead the Pixiu Corps and the Taotie Corps to quickly attack the Guanning Defense Line and eliminate these dog traitors in one fell swoop."
Li Dingguo said in a cold tone, "These guys have a great idea, but they have to ask our Fuxing Army whether they agree or not."
"This kind of military family is so rampant, just like a cancer. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty is not far from complete collapse."
"By the way, where is You Shilu's Taotie Army now?"
The military situation is urgent and we must race against time, Li Dingguo asked immediately.
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Liu Zhiqing said, "The last time we contacted You Shilu was yesterday evening."
"Their Taotie Corps marched eastwards along the Great Wall, encountering many small and medium-sized Mongolian Tartar tribes along the way, so their movements were slower than our Pixiu Corps."
"Their main force arrived at the Chahan Hetao area yesterday. It is estimated that they have crossed the Kuan River today and are less than 5,000 miles away from our army."
Liu Zhiqing spoke freely about military and political affairs, and he obviously knew what was going on. "If we let the big golden eagle pass on the message to You Shilu, and our army also travels overnight, we can meet them in the Longshan area in two days at most."
"Longshan is not far from Shanhaiguan. We can march south day and night and capture this vital fortress in one fell swoop."
"As long as we take Shanhaiguan, we will be invincible."
Liu Zhiqing is worthy of being the most powerful rising star in the Fuxing Army. In just a few words, he came up with the best plan for this long-distance attack on the Guanning Army.
This level of military and literary skills is no worse than that of Hong Chengchou, and can be regarded as the best among all the generals in the Fuxing Army.
He was already extremely talented, and after experiencing countless wars in the past few years, his horizons and vision have been completely broadened, and he is fully qualified to serve as the head coach of a team.
