Chapter 1818 - On Paper
The Seventh Immortal Emperor looked at the Thunder Blade, and his heart was also contemplative.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you have no actual combat experience, then, that's it." Su Chenglong, I order you to be the main general, Lei Blade, Chen Chao, the two of you are the deputy generals, assist General Su, and tomorrow the commander will go to Nanzhou to support Agni City. ā
The Seventh Immortal Emperor This is the tone of command, and behind the thunder blade, two people stood up, and they could only bow down and respond.
Lei Jian didn't know much about this Su Chenglong and Chen Chao, I saw that these two people were middle-aged, and the person named "Su Chenglong" looked extremely old, and between his eyebrows, there was a sinister and cunning look, Lei Jian looked at him for the first time, and he remembered the Seventh Immortal Emperor Xuanwen, this person seemed to have a fight with the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
And Chen Chao behind Su Chenglong has a Chinese character face, with a strict face, compared with Su Chenglong, it looks a little bland. Thunderblade couldn't tell what kind of character this person was, because he was too ordinary and had no characteristics at all.
A court meeting set the tone for the expedition, and after the early dynasty, the Seventh Immortal Emperor left Su Chenglong, Lei Jian and Chen Chao alone.
The Seventh Immortal Emperor clarified the status of the three people, Su Chenglong was the commander, Lei Jian was the right general, and Chen Chao was the left general.
The right is higher than the left, which means that Thunderblade is the number two person in the rescue army.
After the instructions, the Seventh Immortal Emperor asked Lei Jian to go to Fanghua Hall to meet Ye Qingshuang for a meal, and then he went back to Lei Mansion to prepare for the expedition.
Thunderblade didn't know that from this expedition, his life would open a new and magnificent chapter!
ā¦ā¦
Back in Lei Mansion, Lei Jian learned from Qing'er that Su Chenglong was a noble general, arrogant, especially arrogant, and did not take civilian generals seriously.
And Chen Chao is one of the only three civilian generals in the DPRK, including Lei Blade.
This person has only been promoted to a general for a short time, and he has no actual combat experience, but his cultivation is in the small immortal position, and he can only be regarded as a mediocre person.
After understanding this, Lei Blade was most worried about Su Chenglong.
This guy is arrogant, I'm afraid that whether it is him or Chen Chao, he may not get along with Su Chenglong.
That night, when he went to the school field outside the palace to inspect the army, Lei Jian unexpectedly saw Ni Qiang, and he was overjoyed.
He was still thinking that the troops of 20,000 people had no acquaintances, but he didn't expect to meet Ni Qiang, and Ni Qiang was still a commander with a thousand men in this rescue army.
The 20,000-strong army was temporarily composed of the White Dragon Legion, the Local Legion and the City Guard, and its combat effectiveness was not bottomed by Lei Blade.
Among them, there are 10,000 people in the White Dragon Legion, 9,000 in the local army, and 1,000 in the city guards. If you want to talk about combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of the city guards will be ranked first, after all, it is the army that defends Xiandu City, and it will definitely not work if it is not an elite.
It's just that the city guards lack actual combat experience, which is also a major shortcoming.
In the early morning of the next day, an army of 20,000 people marched from outside the Xiandu City to Nanzhou Fire City.
The war in the cultivation realm is not much different from the ancient war imagined by Thunder Blade, but the troops in the cultivation realm are slightly more complicated than the ancient war.
Among the troops of the Xiuzhen Realm, there were no cavalry, and some were beast soldiers.
Beast soldiers, as the name suggests, are soldiers who control fierce beasts and monsters to participate in battles, which is not much different from cavalry, but the mounts are replaced by monsters with attack power, which is naturally more than ten times more powerful than the attack power of ordinary soldiers.
Among the 20,000 troops, there are 500 beast soldiers, which is the core of the troops, and it is also where the attack power is the strongest.
The troops of 20,000 people, plus the beast soldiers, heavy grain and grass, actually marched less than eighty miles in one day, which surprised the thunder blade.
You must know that if you are not sleepy, you are soldiers or beast soldiers, they are all cultivators with true qi, and their travel speed is much faster than that of ordinary people. And when Thunder Blade took his mercenaries on a mission in Africa, it was easy to travel a hundred miles a day.
In such a comparison, Thunder Blade couldn't sit still, after all, this is to rescue, and the march is so slow, I'm afraid that when I feel that Nanzhou Agni City, Agni City has been captured or surrendered, it may not be possible.
Therefore, Thunder Blade found Su Chenglong, who was youzai, and said, "General Su, I'm afraid our marching speed is too slow. We are a rescue army, and the soldiers are very fast, so I think it is better for us to divide into two groups of men and horses, one to advance lightly, first to rescue the Agni City, to give the Agni City confidence, and the other group to come to the convergence with heavy grain and grass, so that the two are not wrong. If we're too slow, I'm afraid there will be changes over there! ā
Thunder Blade, which is built yƬ, is naturally quite pertinent.
However, Su Chenglong listened to Thunder Blade's words, just turned his head and glanced at Thunder Blade, and said coldly: "Hmph, this army, are you the main general or am I the main general?" Is it you experienced or am I experienced? ā
Su Chenglong didn't look at the thunder blade, and looked high: "At the age of twelve, he studied tactics at the Royal Academy of the Xianling Dynasty, and studied under the former generalissimo Zheng Long. Hmph, Thunderblade, it's your turn to teach me a lesson? If you civilians are not lucky, how can you have the opportunity to go on the expedition with this general? Let's go out together, waiting for the victory, a qiÄ decision, your own general decides, you just listen to the order, no need to talk much! ā
As soon as he said this, Lei Jian clenched his fists directly when he heard it, Nima, I've seen someone pretending to be forced, but I've never seen someone pretending to be forced like this!
Su Chenglong's implication is that this army is his, Lei Jian and Chen Chao can only follow his orders, and they can't even mention Jianyi!
"What, you're dissatisfied with General Ben?"
Seeing the Thunder Blade glaring angrily at Su Chenglong, Su Chenglong coldly said to the Thunder Blade, "You are dissatisfied with General Ben, and you are dissatisfied with Your Majesty over there!" Hmph, Your Majesty's eyes, you can see at a glance that the strength of this general is far above you, therefore, this is the appointment of this general as the main general, this is His Majesty's order, do you dare to disobey? ā
Without waiting for Lei Jian to speak, Su Chenglong proudly explained to Lei Blade: "It seems that you are very puzzled, well, General Ben will tell you about the disadvantages of your construction." First, we only have 20,000 men, divided into two groups, which will give the enemy a chance to break through, and they are five times as many as us! Second, if the enemy goes around our rear and burns our grain and grass, how will you solve the problem? That's a fiasco before it even enters the battlefield, you know?! ā
Listening to Su Chenglong's explanation, Lei Jian could only smile bitterly and shake his head, the guy who talks on paper!
Su Chenglong's analysis sounds very reasonable at first glance, but the key is that now in Beizhou, where will there be an enemy ambush in his own territory?
