Chapter 249: Turf Grabbing
readx;? Rao is Li Badao has the most sufficient information about his development plan, and he never thought that one day he could do it to such an extent as he is now, in fact, if you look carefully, the combat power of these subordinates of his current has declined, because in order to allow the Xuanshi who entered the city later to be controlled, all the original Songshi army has been completely dispersed, and only in this way can it be possible to control those Xuanshi who joined later in their hands. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But although there is no way to train the Songshi Battle Formation too proficiently in such a short period of time, at least one thing is certain, that is, Li Badao's current strength has definitely reached a peak state. Even in Li Badao's opinion, he can only control so many Xuanshi at most now. In fact, before this, Li Badao thought that he could lead at least 100,000 troops, but now it seems that such a situation is estimated to be impossible.
Now just leading 30,000 Xuanshi, Li Badao has no way to take care of every subordinate as he did in the past, and even now, even every general has difficulty communicating with him. There are 30,000 Xuanshi, and there are nearly 1,000 commanders alone, and there are dozens of generals, if this is not the case, it is definitely impossible to control such a huge team.
However, at this time, Li Badao quite understood that if they didn't do this, their demon hunting army would only be completely eliminated in the future development. In fact, Li Badao also understands that the real way to command thousands of troops should be according to the current method, not the state he was in when he led the demon hunting army before. Now Li Badao also understands that there are more than 30,000 Xuanshi, even if he still wants to be approachable. But how many people can he get close to in a day, not to mention that it is impossible for Li Badao to approach these Xuanshi and communicate with them simply by relying on them.
Now the only people Li Badao can communicate with are actually the original people of the Demon Hunter Army, at this time, Li Badao's most elite Xuanshi team is naturally still these people, and in fact, Li Badao is still very confident in his elite strategy. The Demon Hunter Army is a team that Li Badao has maintained a complete scale until now, even if the number of the team has been expanded to as many as 30,000 people, Li Badao still has not expanded more people into the team of the Demon Hunter Army. Of course, it's not that Li Badao doesn't want to do this, but now there are really very few people who can train the Star Transmission Battle Array well.
Originally, Jiang Tian and the others really had a certain amount of experience in training the Star Transmission Battle Array, but with the expansion of their strength this time. They were also completely dispersed, and in the end, these people could only continue to practice the Songshi Battle Formation with those Xuanshi who had just been recruited. In fact, the reason why Li Badao thinks that the current demon hunting army's combat power has become inferior to before is because the more than 30,000 people in his hands have not yet completely mastered the Songshi battle array.
Although there were only 5,000 people before, the coordination between the previous Songshi Battle Array and the Star Transmission Battle Array was still quite skilled. And coupled with the large fire array that he often arranges, it will also make the battle much easier. But now, Li Badao knows that with his own strength, it is impossible to have any general impact on the entire situation on the battlefield.
It's not that Li Badao hasn't seen how many 30,000 Xuanshi there are, even if he was in Tianxin City, he has already seen tens of thousands of Xuanshi, not to mention that Li Badao also followed many Xuanshi armies to fight in other Metaverse battlefields back then, so he naturally didn't have any unfamiliar feeling about the Xuanshi army. It's just that in the past, although Li Badao was a team that had also experienced many Xuanshi armies. He also fought in an army of tens of thousands of Xuanshi. But at that time, he was only one of them, not the commander of it, not even one of the generals. In the past. Li Badao really didn't lead so many Xuanshi.
But now, Li Badao knows that fighting in the ranks of 30,000 Xuanshi is really completely different from leading 30,000 Xuanshi to fight together. What Li Badao needs to do now is no longer to plan a city and a place, but to find a better direction for development. Only now, Li Badao couldn't help but secretly become complacent, and before that, he had already sent Lin Hui to Zhong'an Province to investigate the situation. And just three days ago, Lin Hui had already returned to Tianxin City, so that Li Badao would have the opportunity to continue to move forward.
What Li Badao hated the most was waiting for death in the city of Tianxin City. In fact, since the more than 30,000 Xuanshi entered Tianxin City, Li Badao also knew. In the vicinity of Tianxin City, in fact, it is impossible for any hostile forces to threaten themselves now, you must know that the number of rebels in Tianxin City before did not exceed 50,000 at most, and among them, 10,000 Xuanshi entered Tianxin City because of the prisoner Xuanshi who escaped from the Black Feather Prison.
And after being conquered by the army of Xuanshi of the Eternal Kingdom, these rebels will inevitably be scattered a lot, and then many will be killed, so that the number of the original rebels can be maintained in half is quite good. As far as Li Badao is concerned, in fact, the Xuanshi who were recruited into Tianxin City by them this time have basically recruited all the rebels before into his own hands, after all, he originally had more than 4,000 people, and this time he recruited more than 20,000 people, in this case, he has naturally wiped out all the rebel Xuanshi who were here in the past.
It's just that after being wiped out, it is not eliminated, but completely absorbed into its own team. And it is precisely because of this that Li Badao thinks that there is no development on the side of Tianxin City. The reason is very simple, it is because Li Badao is quite clear about the development path he wants to take in the future, and in such a situation, the Xuanshi in Tianxin City will definitely not be able to develop casually without supplies like those rebel Xuanshi in Anyang in the past.
Since Li Badao decided to teach them the way of battle formation, he didn't want to see them have any internal strife, let alone suddenly escape when the big war came. In fact, Li Badao is most worried about these two problems now, which is why Li Badao is worried that his current combat power is not as good as his previous combat power. You must know that before Li Badao, there were only more than 4,000 people, but now they have reached as many as 30,000. Roughly speaking, the number of troops is almost ten times that of the expansion, but in such a situation, Li Badao still believes that the current situation is not optimistic.
It is because of the more than 30,000 people, more than 20,000 people were actually afraid of the Xuanshi army of the Ancient Kingdom before, not that they no longer have much fear of the Xuanshi army of the Ancient Kingdom like the original demon hunting army. In fact, it is this small detail that is the most important. Because the Demon Hunter Army and the Songshi Army successfully defeated the Xuanshi army of the Ancient Kingdom before, they occupied Tianxin City and defended Tianxin City, and it was precisely because of this that more people were attracted.
But Li Badao knew very well that those rebel Xuanshi who had joined Tianxin City now really didn't have much confidence to confront the Xuanshi army of the Ancient Kingdom. They came to take refuge this time, it must be because Li overbearing them had won before. And now that they have occupied Tianxin City, the city will always be the most important thing for the Xuanshi of the Eternal Kingdom, so now they are taking refuge in it to find a backer. Of course, such an idea cannot be said to be wrong. After all, in fact, this kind of situation is also very common, and anyone who joins any force hopes to be sheltered and can develop in the force.
However, these people only have confidence in the previous demon hunting army now, not really have any confidence in themselves, and it is precisely because of this that Li Badao is now worried about the combat power of his subordinates. After all, the current Songshi battle array is actually not completely trained and proficient, and the cooperation of the 30,000 people battle array is really completely different from that of 4,000 people. The Songshi Battle Array is not even a battle array that can be used by tens of thousands of people at the same time, in fact, now his Demon Hunter Army and the Songshi Army are completely different feelings, and the Demon Hunter Army is naturally elite. In fact, once the Songshi Army started a war, although there were more than 20,000 people, it was not a complete part, but a small Songshi battle array was coordinated together. In this case, Li Badao is actually quite helpless, but he is really helpless.
This is not a Songshi battle array, in fact, among all the battle formations mastered by Li Badao. It seems that there is no super-large battle array that can be used by tens of thousands of people together. After all, if tens of thousands of people are really needed to deploy a formation, then such a large formation may not be a battle formation. It's just a pure circle. After all, in fact, the battle array is the existence that evolved from the magic array, and the most difficult point of the battle array is that every Xuan Shi who fights in the battle array is the eye of the array. And in the array, the array eye is always the most important, whether the formation of the circle or the breaking, in fact, it is completed through the array eye. If the Eye is defeated, then the Circle is defeated. If the eye of the circle can change constantly, it means that this circle can change freely.
The most subtle thing about the battle array is that the eyes of the battle array are constantly changing, and they change very frequently, and it is precisely because of this that the combat power of the battle array will be so powerful. But if there are only a few hundred people in a battle array, then there is naturally no problem. In fact, even the Demon Hunter Army is actually in such a state, and the Demon Hunter Army is composed of three parts, not a complete whole. Two Star Transmission Battle Arrays and a Sword Array, it was through this cooperation that the Demon Hunter Army was formed. At that time, it was because of a lack of manpower, and then it was because of the fact that this kind of cooperation was completely proficient.
But if a battle formation needs to be performed by 30,000 Xuan Shi together, Li Badao doesn't even dare to imagine how such a battle formation needs to be arranged. The most powerful thing about Li Badao is that he can deploy a formation, whether it is a magic formation or a battle formation. That's why he knows that it is basically impossible for the existence of the battle array to reach 30,000 people, maybe it can be reached one day in the future, but it is definitely not now, the current method is to arrange many small battle formations in an army of 30,000 Xuanshi, only in this way can it be possible for these people to cooperate skillfully, so that the battle array can operate.
In fact, Li Badao can say a boastful word now, even those formation masters, now their attainments in the battle array are not necessarily as deep as their own, after all, they have seen the power of the battle array in the previous life, and they have fought in the battle array for many years, it is precisely because of this that Li Badao will be more aware of the evolution of the battle array. But at least in Li Badao's view, in the last few years, it is basically impossible for the battle array to grow to the scale of tens of thousands.
However, although there is no complete large formation now, at least the people under his command are practicing the Songshi Battle Formation now, although the progress of such training is very slow, and the more people there are, the more difficult it is to promote the battle formation. But Li Badao knew that only by insisting on finishing this situation could it be possible to bring the combat power of his subordinates to the extreme. Of course, now Li Badao is most concerned about the situation in Zhong'an Province, since Lin Hui brought the news back, Li Badao has been planning how to go to Zhong'an Province to develop his own power, and truly make himself a prince-like existence in the ancient country.
Of course, Li Badao is not thinking about being the king and hegemonic in the ancient kingdom. After all, no matter how much presence Li Badao can find in the Eternal Realm now, Li Badao will not think that this is his final battlefield, and Li Badao also knows that this is just the first intersection on the road of revenge, in fact, if he wants to go back to the Shen family or the Liu family to take revenge, it is meaningless to rely on the little force in his hands now. Not to mention anything else, even if the 30,000 Xuanshi that Li Badao is training now have completely mastered the Songshi Battle Array, it is impossible for the Shen family and the Liu family to be the opponent, even if it is one of the families, it is not something that Li Badao can compete with now.
But Li Badao knows. Just because you're not the opponent of the other side right now, you can't think that there is absolutely no hope for this matter. What Li Badao hopes to do most now is to continue to recruit troops here, as long as the number of his own Xuanshi is enough, as long as he has enough resources, it is possible to develop a strong enough Xuanshi army in the territory of the Ancient Kingdom.
The conquest in the Eternal Realm was actually just a process for Li Badao, but now this process seemed to be about to enter a very important turning point. On the day when Tianxin City was defeated, Li Badao actually thought that he would definitely abandon Tianxin City and go to other places to fight, and now Li Badao's chosen target is Zhong'an Province, in fact, when he learned that Li Badao really wanted to do something against Zhong'an Province. Even Jiang Tian was shocked. Although Li Badao had already raised it before, and even sent Lin Hui to investigate, in Jiang Tian's opinion. The idea proposed by Li Badao before was at most just an idea, but he didn't expect that this idea would really become a reality.
Jiang Tian really felt that he was a little unbearable, although it was not a short time to follow Li Badao, but he found that he couldn't see through what Li Badao was thinking, in many cases, Li Badao was the kind of person who dared to think about things that ordinary people did not dare to think, but in fact, such a character was nothing. Because in fact, many people often imagine a lot of things that they can't accomplish at all, but for Li Badao. His life is not just about imagining bold things, but he doesn't just think boldly. And will dare to do it boldly.
This is the biggest difference between him and ordinary people.
Judging from the news about Zhong'an Province brought back by Lin Hui, Zhong'an Province is located in the southern part of the Wangu Kingdom, and the overall situation is actually a huge mountain range, consisting of two incomparably huge mountain ranges forming a gateway, and then a military city was established in the most precipitous pass, which is also a very famous existence in the Wangu Kingdom, called Yujin Pass. There are now 20,000 Xuanshi in Yujin Pass, and the other two military cities are three thousand miles away from Yujin Pass, so in fact, there is almost no connection between these three military cities, but they each guard Zhong'an Province, and then ensure the safety of the worldly cities in Zhong'an Province.
If there is only this news, even if Li Badao is bold, he will definitely not dare to attack Zhong'an Province at this time, after all, not to mention the other two military cities, there are 20,000 Xuanshi in those two military cities, and although the 20,000 Xuanshi in Yujin Pass does not seem to be much, the terrain they are in will give them a very strong advantage. Although few people were able to take advantage of the terrain to fight in the wars between the Xuanshi, Yujin Pass was one of the few. After all, very little means not absolutely nothing, and at this time, Yujin Pass is definitely an extremely difficult bone to gnaw.
Because the Yujin Pass is not difficult to overcome on the front, in fact, the same is true on the back. Because although the war between the Xuanshi is fought to the end to grab resources, and the military city only guarantees that the Xuanshi can have a foundation between the worldly cities, they don't have to worry too much about if someone doesn't attack them and directly crosses the Yujin Pass. For in fact, even if they crossed over, no one would dare to do anything to the people of the earthly city. This rule exists in the Luo Heaven Realm, and it also exists in the Eternal Realm. Even if the war between the Xuanshi is fierce, unless it is the time to break the military city again, there are ordinary people in the city, there is no way to do this, but to reduce the killing of ordinary people as much as possible, but if it is purely a secular city, then such a city is almost impossible to violate.
Although after the end of the war, the monks could enter the city and threaten the people in the worldly city to make them pay taxes, but at least when collecting taxes, they were not allowed to kill the monks in the worldly city. Of course, if they are really unwilling to pay taxes, it is understandable to kill a group of people. But in any case, if someone needs to come and seize the military city, and then take over these worldly cities by the way, this also means that they have to start declaring war, and in the process of declaring war, if they dare to offend the ordinary people in the worldly city, then it will definitely not have any good end, and even the mystics of the entire eternal realm will attack it en masse, there is no doubt about this. You must know that there was such a situation in the Luo Heaven Realm, and you must know that it was a very great person who died at that time.
And the reason why Li Badao dares to attack Zhong'an Province now is because Li Badao has learned many details in it, this is why Li Badao sent Lin Hui to do this, instead of sending others, in fact, if you want to say that it is safe, Shen Ju is the safest thing to do here. And if you want to say that you know the most about the situation in the Eternal Realm, it is naturally Jiang Tian, but Li Bao did not send Jiang Tian to set off.
It is because whether it is stable or understanding, it is not as easy to use as one feature, that is, it is exquisite. Lin Hui is not the kind of villain with a flamboyant tongue, and he is definitely a fierce general on the battlefield, but Lin Hui is quite smart when he does a lot of things, which is why in fact, even if the Demon Hunter Army has developed to the present, Li Badao has given him a lot of things to do, just because Lin Hui is very flexible in doing things, which is a very important ability at this time.
One of the most important pieces of news brought back from Lin Hui was that the ordinary people in the secular city of Zhong'an Province were already quite dissatisfied with the control of the Xuanshi in Zhong'an Province, and it could even be said that they were quite dissatisfied with the rule of the entire Eternal Kingdom.
In fact, this is Li Badao's previous speculation, after all, there is no cause and effect in the world, after coming to the Eternal Realm, he found that there are many rebels here, and even at the beginning he was in the ranks of the rebels, and until now he has become the leader of the largest rebel army, at least one of the largest rebels. And since there will be so many rebels in the Eternal Kingdom, this means that the rule of the Eternal Kingdom must be extremely bad. Otherwise, it is impossible to have such a situation, Li Badao does not deny that there are many careerists in this world, and some people just like to be bigwigs, and if there are no troubled times, they will create a troubled world by themselves.
However, the situation of the Wangu Kingdom is not something that can be created by one person alone, this is a result of the general environment, which also shows that the Xuanshi army of the Wangu Kingdom has actually become insufficient in many cases. And the combat power of such a Xuanshi army is actually quite limited, which is what Li Badao is most concerned about.
The first point is that the province is now dissatisfied with the rule of those Xuanshi, and there is no other reason than because the taxes are too high. And the other point is that Li Badao has now begun to guess that the rule of the Wangu Kingdom has reached such a level, and the army of Xuanshi guarding various cities is privately increasing the collection of taxes, such a situation will inevitably lead to a result, that is, the combat power of the Xuanshi in the military city is quite limited, there is no doubt about this. Xuanshi is also a human being, and many Xuanshi will naturally start to enjoy it after losing their goal. Since this is the case, Li Badao will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
"Ready, let's go to Central Ontario to grab land. Li said with a smile. (To be continued)
