Fortunately, after a year of drought, the groundwater level of the entire prairie has dropped, and the surface of the prairie is no longer as soft as before.

When the rangers passed by the academy, the old master took the students to watch this strong team from a distance. A fresh breeze blew from north to south, blowing away the dust brought up by the cavalry.

Qin Kang knew that this breeze was summoned by the old master, so he hurriedly shouted: "The rangers are up and down, thank you to the master for washing the dust with the breeze!" The whole army of the rangers followed Qin Kang's luck and shouted thanks, and the sound was passed on the grassland wave after wave.

The old master was indeed their teacher, and even Qin Kang in the rangers had to take a month out every year to study at the academy. There are no mountains of peat piled up here, and the sound is heard far away in the open grasslands.

Because the old master asked people to move all the peat mountains around the college to be used as garden rockeries, Qin Zhigang and Qin Song didn't open their mouths and no one opened their eyes to ask the old master for money, and the old master didn't report to the Hou Mansion.

Someone once went to Qin Song to complain because he was a relative of the Hou Mansion, and Qin Song said to him: "The college has a radius of fifty miles, and it has been demarcated as the boundary of the independent management of the university. A little peat was moved, and the college didn't sell the peat for money, so it didn't delay you in making money. ”

Near noon, the rangers reached the southwestern outskirts of Waterhole District. This is a large military town that stretches ten miles long, built by 50,000 apes and 20,000 people in half a year, and now there are 3,000 apes and 1,000 migrant workers to take care of their daily lives for a long time. It is also a gathering area for cattle and horse sheds, a hoarding place for fine forage, and a habitat for the Twelve Birds.

The entire rangers slowed down and entered the military town, and Bai Qi was already waiting at the gate of the military town with his staff. Qin Kang came to Bai Qi and dismounted and saluted, because he greatly admired this legendary reincarnated god of war in his heart, and trembled slightly with excitement.

Bai Qi picked up Qin Kang and walked hand in hand to the center of the military town, restraining all kinds of questions in his heart along the way, and only talking to Qin Kang about some topics to enhance relations.

The staff group dispersed to lead the way for the rangers, and dispersed the rangers to various barracks to rest. The barracks were all built in the courtyard style, and the barracks of the military horses were dozens of steps away from the bedrooms of the officers and soldiers, and each courtyard that could accommodate one battalion of men and horses allowed the rangers to live only one company of men and horses. After settling down, there were apes who came to unsaddle and reins the horses, carried soap and brushes to wash the horses, women pushed food carts to bring delicate snacks, and thirty-six Qinmen Danshi came to check their bodies with supplements.

Why is the treatment of the rangers so good? Every officer and soldier of the rangers is a specially recruited disciple of Qinmen, or they are from poor backgrounds, but their qualifications are very good, or their qualifications are only relatively good, but their relationship is very tough, and the rangers are the precious eggs of Qinmen, and this treatment is not comparable to that of other armies.

Bai Qi and Qin Kang walked all the way into the military town meeting hall, Bai Qi turned around and let the staff group disperse, and then sent all the soldiers outside to guard. Bai Qi pulled Qin Kang to sit down in the side row of the conference hall, and he also sat down in the side row, and personally entertained Qin Kang with the fruit wine that had been prepared a long time ago.

Qin Kangpang was as nervous as sitting on pins and needles, and from time to time he wanted to stand up and change his position, and said with a smile: "General Qin, don't be restrained, if you count it according to the entry time, you can be a long time before me!" Qin Kang suddenly felt that the relationship between the two had become much closer and he was no longer so restrained, so he picked up the wine cup and did it first as a respect.

There is a trick here, the superior gives wine, the subordinate does not doubt that this is the etiquette of trust, if you don't drink it crookedly, there must be a greasy, of course, there are more bullish people who simply don't serve wine, this kind of person can be said to be a failure in the career and the future is slim.

Bai Qi originally wanted to have a slow drink with Qin Kang and drink three or five glasses before entering into a deep conversation, but seeing Qin Kang so refreshing, he had no choice but to have a drink.

The mellow aroma of the original liquid is thick and scorching like fire in the throat, and then it brings a burst of pain to the body like magma**, and then quickly spreads into countless streams into the bloodstream, which makes people feel refreshed in an instant, and the aroma of wine seems to burst out from the pores of the whole body.

Both of them laughed, Qin Kang hadn't had the opportunity to drink the original solution like this for a long time, and Bai Qi was just a drink before he woke up, but he didn't expect to drink the original liquid so refreshingly today.

In this way, the two people who had never met before talked more, and they drank up the original liquid of six catties and a jar all the time, and countless secrets during the banquet were revealed to each other in the conversation between the two.

Bai Qi knew the reason why the teacher didn't give the army muskets, mainly because the bullets had to be made by hand; Qin Kang also knew the pain and helplessness of the Heavenly Dao and the reincarnation of many times, and he also learned some of the cruelty on the battlefield in the future.

A jar of liquid was gone, and the two of them were also drunk and lying on the ground, and the soldiers outside did not dare to enter the hall without being summoned, so the two slept for more than an hour and woke up in the evening.

Yikang got up from the ground first, bent down to help Bai Qi, but Bai Qi shook his hand and said, "Don't protect me, let me meditate for a while, General Qin will call them in to clean up!"

After receiving Qin Kang's notice, the soldiers ran into the hall to remove the things on the case, and wiped the floor with their hands and feet, and they looked like old fritters. These are all people transferred from other places by the Bai family, and it seems that the people of the Bai family have not implemented the rule that alcohol is not allowed in the army, and how to deal with this rule is more skillful.

The two of them drank up a jar of original liquid, and they could wake up so quickly, which was also considered talented, this was still given to him by Bai Qi's coaxing and strengthening brother, the Bai family had no industry, Bai Qi often complained in front of Zhuangzhuang, and the honest Zhuang Zhuang heard that the junior brother Qingqing would give him whatever he wanted, and now Bai Qi is still relatively wealthy.

When he was young, Bai Qi ended meditating and stood up and said, "This original liquid is really a good thing, just now my practice speed is five times that of before, next time let Senior Brother send me a jar of elixir wine to try." ”

Qin Kang smirked and said, "I didn't think it was so fast, after drinking, it was just twice as fast as before." ”

Bai Qi jokingly said: "Old Qin, you are a freak, do you know? Your own cultivation speed is already five times that of ordinary people, seeing that you just ate so much in one meal that you can eat more than the people of our Bai family, but you don't gain weight." In terms of skill, I am several levels taller than you, but I can only have a tie with you when I eat the original liquid, and it is a great miracle that you are twice as fast after eating. The so-called heavenly jealousy of talents, I have reached many worlds after many reincarnations, people like you generally do not live more than thirty, you must have experienced a lot of hardships if you survived, and your mind is firm, and it is a monstrous blessing to be able to enter the Qinmen, and I must be inferior to you on the road of cultivation. ”

Qin Kang said excitedly: "Really, I will cultivate faster than Bai Shuai in the future? I want to live a good life and always honor my father-in-law and mother." ”

Bai Qi scolded very sadly: "I have no interest, I only know filial piety but I don't know how important my talent is." ”

After scolding, Bai Qi regretted it a little again, when he was in his hometown on the earth, he was easy to offend people because he was not good at words, and because he was arrogant, the angry King Qin gave him a death. Now that I accidentally said something I shouldn't have said, it seems that wine can be bad.

Qin Kang said very naturally: "Bai Shuai doesn't know, my life was pulled back by my father-in-law, I used to have very powerful insects in my body to torture me and couldn't grow my body, my father-in-law gave me Xiaogang's medicine powder to get rid of the insects, and asked me to lead the soldiers to give me supreme glory, filial piety is the most important thing for me." ”

Bai Qi could only give a thumbs up and said: "It's still Lao Qin who is right, you and I are originally world friends and should be brothers, so I will call you Brother Qin in the future!"

After this battle, the two men were called brothers, and the Rangers rested for three days in the military town before waiting for the follow-up troops to assemble successfully, while the second wave of the army that had set out at the beginning rested for a full day after arriving at Tu Town.

When the Second Front Army arrived at Tuzhen, it rained, and the 180,000 troops crowded into the camp left by the First Front Army for the night, and a large group of demon horses gathered around Tuzhen that night, and the Second Army began to popularize demon horses at dawn. The entire group army must be equipped with horses of demon blood, and the mounts of generals at and above the regimental level must be equipped with the spirit horse demon, and the replaced military horses will be fostered on the grassland to wait for Qinmen to improve.

After coming and going, they rested in the slaughter town for a whole day, and the two names of the history of the earth also took advantage of this time to do some exchanges.

Li Mu was originally a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and the First Emperor persuaded him to join the Great Qin and establish the Li family when he selected famous ministers in the prefecture. Mu was immediately moved when he learned from the First Emperor that he had the opportunity to become a Heavenly Dao army, and after careful consideration, he agreed to join Great Qin and at the same time recommend other famous ministers of the Zhao State to the First Emperor, but unfortunately those talents could only serve Great Qin on the outer planets because of their different surnames. Li Mu's surname is Li, and it is natural that he took advantage of the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao to participate in the competition for the main star, and he is also the Li family's hidden trump card military force, but he only listens to the dispatch of the First Emperor.

It is not surprising that Wang Jian became the commander of the Second Front Army as the commander of the six countries unified by Great Qin, and the two of them talked about a lot of old adult things in their hometown on the earth along the way, and studied this military reform when they were resting in the slaughterhouse.

They only hated that the time was too short, and when two miniature cities in the clouds floated over the slaughter town, they had to take the army on their way. The 180,000-strong army was divided into four armies, and Mengxi, Mengwu, Wang Li, and Wang Ling were appointed as the commanders of the four armies.

Liangpi changed his name to Liang Pi after obtaining his surname, and this time he became a staff officer of the headquarters and followed the two famous generals to learn the art of war and tactics, although he lost his military power, he gained valuable experience.

Sunny weather, bright sunshine, clear air, Liang Pi looked at the ground in Cloud City in the air of twenty zhang, and the army was like ants densely lined up and trotting forward. The five-lane road seemed so narrow, and now running below Cloudsdale was the 2nd Front Army led by Meng Yu and the 50,000 troops of the 1st Army, and the 1st Army was divided into eight divisions, and the long line alone made the people of Cloudsdale unable to see the beginning and the end.

Liang Pi suddenly understood why Daqin wanted to build the Qin Straight Road, if the road below was a Qin Straight Road that could run forty cars in parallel, the overall speed of the army would be more than five times higher than now, the transportation of supplies and the return of the wounded would be dealt with quickly, and a part of the Qin Straight Road could be used as a school field practice formation in peacetime.

Li Mu told Liang Pi that Bai Qi might let the Third Front Army build castles in the areas they had swept to develop resources. Wang Jian told Liang Pi that the First Emperor might send generals to set up counties in the mountains for permanent garrisons.

At first, Liang Pi listened with suspicion, but after the analysis of the two masters, he finally fully understood, and the first garrison general may be himself.

In the steppe military town, the Third Front Army was all assembled on the third day of the departure of the Second Front Army. Bai Qi did not let them set off immediately, but personally went to meet the teacher to equip the rangers with a giant cloud city and ask for 400,000 ape retinues for the 200,000 Northwest Army.

In fact, Zhang Zhigang had already prepared these just waiting for Bai Qi to beg for it, so that Bai Qi could do this favor in place. Soon, an empty and huge cloud city descended on the military town, and the rangers entered through more than a dozen entrances.

At the entrance of the central cloud ladder, Qin Kang and Qin Dingtian hugged and said goodbye before entering Cloud City with their two mounts. The sorrow of this parting was so short, Qin Kang stroked the wall of the ladder passage and burst into ecstasy, this is a mobile military town to be permanently rationed to the rangers, and from now on, the rangers will have no opponents in the realm of saints.

The 30,000 disciples of the Qin Sect who cultivated divine skills rode the demon clan divine horse that could travel thousands of miles a day, and used mysterious firearms that could shoot continuously, even if the enemy army was millions. Now with this giant cloud city that can easily carry 100,000 soldiers, what if there are tens of millions of enemy troops in time, how strong the rangers who can't be surrounded at all, no matter how many enemy troops are just tricks.

The Rangers were sent away by Cloudsdale to join the First Front sequence. The Northwest Army stayed behind to select 400,000 apes, and supplemented the small Cloud City with the regiment as a unit, preparing to build a large construction project in the mountains. Meng Tian was taken over by Su Su as the commander of the Third Front Army, Qin Dingtian was the deputy commander, most of the regiment-level generals were replaced by people from the Li family, and the division-level generals and above were basically Qin Song's righteous sons. However, from the point of view of allotting Cloudsdale, the regimental generals are the main grassroots commanders.

The Third Front Army was all brought out by Qin Song's righteous sons, and although the military quality was not high, it had a very good mental outlook, and it was also very healthy under the nourishment of food in the Northwest Military Region in the past few years. This is a miscellaneous army with only the shelf and face, and the combat effectiveness is at most comparable to that of ordinary Daqin leather armor soldiers, and Meng Tian, who is both civil and military, likes this army very much, because the task of the Third Front Army is to open up three thousand strongholds and eight hundred castles in the southwest mountains.

With all the troops arranged, Bai Qi ordered his headquarters to go to the direction where the rangers were going to land, and ordered all the armies to report to the general headquarters twice a day on the location of the march.

A moment later, the three Bird Clan elites were escorted out with the Golden Command Arrow and the letter, and the three of them were to pass the order to the four Front Army Headquarters within three hours and bring back the Order Arrow within five hours. The speed is staggering, and the three of them are on the same path to convey military orders together, which was something that was unimaginable before.

Orders can be issued to an army more than thousands of miles away in three hours, and the speed of the army's information determines the flexibility of tactics and the variability of the direction of advance, and this alone will increase the combat effectiveness of the Qin army by more than 30%.

After the herald of the bird clan set off, Bai Qi sat in the hall of the Cloud Hall and watched the handmade sand table in the center of the hall, and the staff were calculating the march of the army in all aspects. He believes that even if the army has the kind of holographic sand table of the teacher, it is not as good as the handmade sand table, which allows the user to use unlimited imagination. Bai Qi's eyesight is very good, and he can still be very clear and detailed when sitting a few feet away.

The staff members held the command stick while thinking and predicting the situation of the army they were responsible for deducing, and after thinking about it, they used the long pole to point and the corresponding bird teammates flew over to move the chess pieces. These staff members are all from the imperial aristocracy, composed of five first-class nobles and the royal family of the Ying nobles, among which the Li family has the most staff, and I don't know how much the Li family has paid in exchange for so many vain staff group places, in order to learn the practical art of war, everyone is willing to spend money.

Among the many staff members, there was a burly and tall young man wearing a golden camouflage uniform and a red beret, and he asked his Bird Clan to transfer the Southwest Army from the main road a hundred miles away from the Sage Country, and go to various places in divisions.

There was an uproar in the audience, including Bai Qi, who was taken aback, but Bai Qi didn't get up to accuse him, because this young man was Qin Lin, and he used to be called Da Niu Shi, the reincarnated brother of the First Emperor. Qin Lin once studied with Bai Ping and Qin Zhu in the Volcano Military Region, and he was very clear about the quality of the soldiers there and the way of logistics and supply, and even had some understanding of the life style and hunting habits of the officers and soldiers.

In the questioning eyes and voice, Qin Lin began to explain; "The Volcano Military Region has the most powerful financial resources and fierce actual combat capabilities; the financial resources are so strong that the recruits all earn 20 taels a year, and there are even 120 quintals a year among the veterans, I am not talking about coarse grains but refined grains; the Volcano Military Region has had a close relationship with the demon clan since its establishment, and in the case that the demon clan does not launch its demon power, it can defeat the demon clan head-on with ten to one troops, and the demon clan I am talking about is not a rabbit demon and fox demon, but the nobles of the demon clan, the monkey clan and the horse clan. ”

The staff all turned their heads to look at Bai Qi, hoping that Bai Qi would confirm that Qin Lin was talking nonsense. Bai Qi held his chin with his right hand and said helplessly: "What he said is the truth, Bai Changsheng is my own brother, I know all these things." ”

The staff group is messy, and they can't speak with their mouths open, the annual salary that Daqin now issues to the county order is less than ten quintals of refined grain, and the recruits of the Volcanic Military Region can get an income worth twelve quintals of refined grain every year, which is too rich!

The combat effectiveness of the demon clan masters is so strong, it is estimated that without using demon power, they can deal with ordinary soldiers with one enemy and hundreds, but it just takes some more time. But the soldiers of the Volcanic District were able to defeat them with ten to one, these soldiers were simply so fierce that they were not human, in fact, they were already able to defeat the same number of shape-shaped rabbit demons when the use of demonic power was not allowed in the hundreds of crowds.

Bai Qi motioned for Qin Lin to continue, Qin Lin looked honest, but he was actually a little naughty, he waved his long pole and pointed to the road on the sand table and said: "On this road, the goods of major companies are transported every day, and the current transportation team is mainly the transportation company of Uncle Ping and Uncle Zhu. They are responsible for transporting the materials here, and the transportation company of the demon clan masters of the 'Rain Zone Warehouse' takes over the materials here and transports them to other locations in the rain area by air, so this road is a cash cow for the two uncles and the volcano area, and they can't afford it. The 180,000-strong army had been requisitioning this road for many days, and now a large amount of supplies was waiting to be delivered. If, according to the original plan, the Southwestern Front Army would rely on these warehouses to establish a stronghold and rest after entering the rainy area for twenty miles, the roads would be requisitioned for three days, and the warehouses would be delayed for several days. If it were here, a hundred miles away from the rain area would allow the entire road to resume transportation at once, and the army would establish a stronghold in these locations, intercepting a small part of the grain transported from the rain area to the volcanic area to achieve self-sufficiency, and at the same time building a straight road to the sugar cane grove to the southwest from this location would save a lot of manpower and time, and the two uncles might want to buy sugar cane directly from here as part of the army's drink. You don't have to look at me like that, I also know that sugarcane is expensive, and the sugarcane from the sugarcane forest is the sweetest and most expensive, but for the two uncles, money is for spending, and they are very good at spending money. Next, they will have the Southwestern Army attack and advance as divisions, bulldozing trees and beasts along the way, filling up ravines, blowing up cliffs into gentle slopes, entering the rain zone and establishing bases in three days. ”

A staff member surnamed Meng raised his hand to ask a question that was approved, and he gasped and said: "The 180,000 troops of the Southwest Group Army need to clean an area of 500 miles horizontally and 200 miles deep, and how can it be in time to establish a base of this scale?"

Bai Qi smiled and said: "I'll help him answer, the Southwest Military Region will not build its own base, they will use money to hire a construction team to build it for them." Both Fortuna generals have their own private Cloud City, which can easily send tens of thousands of construction teams to various base locations in the rain zone. ”

Looking at the questioning eyes of the staff, Bai Qi added again: "What I want is just the result, and the Southwest Military Region has not violated the military order by doing so." In the military order issued yesterday, only the word "red" that asked them to arrive at the designated position within five days was red, and the only red letter in the military order I issued meant that it must be carried out completely and completely. I said it many years ago, not to mention that the Southwestern Army has only slightly adjusted its route. ”

The staff saluted and shouted in unison: "Your Excellency is wise, I will wait for my respect!"

On the ground, watching Cloud City slowly move forward in the sky, in fact, the speed of Cloud City has reached more than seventy miles per hour, and it is still day and night, and the General Headquarters can reach the border area of the Sage Kingdom in one day.

On the side of the road outside the rain area, the Southwest Group Army had indeed set up camp in the place Qin Lin had estimated, and Bai Ping and Qin Zhu were directing their own troops to 'attack and advance'.

Fortunately, the drought had caused all the trees here to die, and it was extremely easy to cut down dead trees, and sometimes Bai Ping and Qin Zhu would lift their giant axes and move their muscles. The two brothers are also very good at making money now, if the cut down trees are of good material, the soldiers will transport them to the roadside, ready to sell them to the construction company in the rain area, the medium material will be burned on the spot, and the bad material will be dragged together and let it rot to make fertilizer, and the wood alone can make a lot of money.

The army does not cook, consumes dry food, and paves the road while advancing, and when it is tired, it falls to the side of the road and sleeps in a stall, and it does not rain anyway, and you can use it as a bed everywhere.

The arrival of night did not stop them from advancing, the felled trees became free lighting materials, the endless bonfires were connected to the long fire dragons, and the soldiers replaced with rested new forces to continue to 'attack and advance'.

The time was already sub-hour, Bai Ping and Qin Zhu were not sleeping, standing on the top of an uncle who had already died, looking out. Bai Ping said to Qin Zhu: "Brother Zhuzi, we have been opening the road since we arrived yesterday, and we have only advanced forty miles now, which is really slow!"

Qin Zhu replied: "Don't be slow, there are only two divisions of more than 30,000 troops that have reached here today, and we are slow down because of the lack of gunpowder." Tomorrow, 180,000 troops will arrive, and the Yan clan will bring us 200,000 catties of gunpowder, and it will only be a moment to blow up the cliff in front of us. ”

Bai Ping suddenly smiled and said: "If these 200,000 catties of gunpowder are all the kind of explosives produced by Xiao Gang himself, it will be no problem to blow up all these peaks!"

Qin Zhu also laughed and said, "If that kind of thing accidentally falls off when it is airlifted?"

Bai Ping's face froze instantly, and said, "Brother Zhuzi is really a genius, what kind of scene will it be if we let the wild goose throw explosives into the enemy formation?"

Qin Zhu was stunned for a while, and then said after thinking about it: "People turn over on their backs, flesh and blood fly, purgatory in the world, Senluo Execution Ground." But brother, are we really going to do this?"

Bai Ping said solemnly: "There are no immortals in war, as long as it allows us to die less, it will work." After saying that, he took out a pen and paper from his bosom to record the important conversation just now, and began to plan to make a trigger bomb to be used in this hunt.

No one could have imagined that the air raid in this world would be born in a casual conversation between Bai Ping and Qin Zhu, and even Qin Zhigang himself did not know that the air raid bombing was about to appear in this world in advance.
