Chapter 177: A Year Later

Just when Nangong Ruoli was training with 52,000 soldiers of the Five Elements Banner in the Laoshan Ancient Forest, the battle of the Longteng Empire finally kicked off.

No less than twenty empires, led by the two medium-sized empires of the Wuhua Empire and the Qingyuan Empire, have gathered a total of six million troops, and they are divided into two routes, from the north and south, towards the Dragon Teng Empire!

On the side of the Longteng Empire, Beicang Ben took one million elite soldiers to guard the north, and fought with nearly three million troops led by the Qingyuan Empire, while in the south, one million elite soldiers led by Feng Xingxiao defended it.

Nangong Lie took nearly two million recruits and guarded the border with the White Tiger Empire in the east.

While stepping up military training, he secretly guarded against the one million elite soldiers of the White Tiger Empire.

For a time, the three marshals of the Dragon Teng Empire came out together, although the strength was less than one-third of the opponent's, but the coalition army also had their disadvantages.

Although it is claimed to be three million, it is uneven, and many small empires do not agree with each other, which leads to the fact that they do not have an absolute advantage in the battle with the Dragon Empire.

The two sides fought fiercely for nearly a month, and the coalition forces did not take a single city, but suffered heavy losses, and Marshal Feng and Marshal Electric of the White Tiger Empire almost jumped like thunder when they heard the news.

"Give a death order to all empires, the two sides of the empire are allied forces, presided over by the Qingyuan Empire and the Wuhua Empire respectively, if there are those who disobey the order, give me a quick extermination!"

With Marshal Feng's order, the coalition forces of the two sides were slightly restrained, and under the leadership of Qiu Wentian, the generalissimo of the Wuhua Empire, and Tao Song, the generalissimo of the Qingyuan Empire, they gradually took the initiative.

It is also because of this that the two armies of the Longteng Empire began to gradually shrink inward, and the two generalissimos of the Qingyuan Empire and the Wuhua Empire are also outstanding military talents.

Each of them is no worse than the three marshals of the Dragon Teng Empire, and the strength is far superior to the opponent, although the team is uneven, but after the coercive means of the White Tiger Empire, the fighting spirit is still high.

The White Tiger Empire did not participate in the war, and they were not willing to participate in the war too early at this time, because although the Dragon Teng Empire was losing and retreating, the vitality of the main force was not greatly affected.

And Nangong Lie was also happy to do so, and the two million recruits seized all the time to train and gradually got on the right track.

In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for almost a year, and Feng Xingxiao fought and retreated with Beicangben, although they lost half of the territory of the empire, but the respective million armies of both sides still did not suffer any major damage.

Around the White Tiger Empire's Marshal Feng and Electric Marshal, there were also scouts constantly inquiring back about the news, and the two of them were also very anxious.

Originally, it was thought that a coalition of six million imperial troops would be enough to wipe out the Dragon Empire with only two million regular troops within a year.

But they didn't expect that things always backfired, so the two were ready to move and were ready to send troops at any time.

Laoshan Ancient Forest.

Nangong Ruoli leaned on the branch of a big tree, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and looked at the dark flag warriors practicing below.

After a year of training and the support of the elixir, these two thousand Dark Banner warriors have all entered the human-level realm, and the lowest of them is also the human-level third-order realm.

The highest, there is already a human-level seventh-order cultivation, which makes Nangong Ruoli secretly relieved, a human-level first-order master is enough to face five well-trained elite soldiers.

Now the combat effectiveness of these two thousand Dark Banner soldiers is not less than 10,000 elite soldiers, and even in the face of 20,000 elite soldiers, they also have the power to fight.

Of course, this is not Nangong Ruoli's ultimate goal, with the support of so many pills, he hopes that when he goes out to fight, all the Dark Banner warriors will reach the ground-level cultivation.

In this way, this unit can really be regarded as a real trump card unit.

The other flag teams of the Five Elements Banner are also making amazing progress, in terms of individual strength, the Jinxing Banner led by Huo Tianhong is the strongest, with 10,000 soldiers in the whole army, and 3,000 people have broken through the human-level realm.

This also made everyone feel full of confidence, coupled with the accumulation of this year, the equipment of the Five Elements Banner warriors has gradually stepped onto the right track.

The archery skills of the Muxing Banner warriors have also improved rapidly, and the Water Banner is also very effective, and each warrior is equipped with a variety of poisons, which makes people shudder.

And the Huoxing Banner, under Nangong Ruoli's modern knowledge theory, some earthen mines have also been successfully developed, and now this 10,000 Tuxing Banner soldiers, everyone has learned to make their own mines.

Yu Shifei's Tuxing Banner led by Yu Shifei has also made amazing progress with toothpaste, and Yu Shifei, who is hangs his children and has a similar personality to Nangong Ruoli, actually researched a skill of drilling into the ground on his own, and the soldiers who are assigned to Tuxing Banner are even more powerful.

While training on its own, the Five Elements Banner also continued to divide into teams and enter the interior of the Laoshan Ancient Forest to kill the demon beasts.

In this way, the cooperation between the teams, together with the actual combat experience of the fighters, is gradually enhanced, plus there are teachers such as Lu Shaozhi, Beicang Jing and Huo Tianhong, who are from the Longteng Royal Academy, and are taught by talented students.

Almost every warrior has a life-saving skill.

"In less than two years, this Five Elements Banner team will be able to truly participate in the battle!" Nangong Ruo thought secretly, and at the same time, a sense of pride swelled up.

"Ruoli, how many Gathering Spirit Pills do you still have in your hands?" Huo Tianhong scratched his head a little embarrassed, the soldiers of the Jinxing Banner have consumed more than twice as many pills as the rest of the banners recently, although the progress is not small, but Huo Tianhong is still a little embarrassed.

Nangong Ruoli sat up and said with a slight smile: "It's really not too much, the pill in my hand now can only last for two years! And cousin, the more the pill comes later, the effect is not as good as before, those warriors, I have already used the best Zhuji Dan to lay the foundation of knowledge for them, if you blindly rely on the pill, I'm afraid it's too wasteful!"

Huo Tianhong sighed slightly, and then said: "I also know this, but I'm in a hurry, I don't know how long our army can support it!"

Nangong Ruoli stretched his waist and said, "Don't worry, cousin, the Dragon Teng Empire will never be destroyed, at least for two years, they will still be able to hold on!"

"Two years?" Huo Tianhong said with some surprise: "Are you saying that we only need one year before we can go out and participate in the battle?"

Nangong Ruoli nodded and said: "That's true, this year, we have never been out of the Laoshan Ancient Forest, but I guess that this year, our pressure will not be too great, at least the White Tiger Empire will not participate in the war, and in the second year, the White Tiger Empire is likely to be involved, and then the real war will break out!"

"Although the White Tiger Empire claims to have only a million troops, it is more than twice as strong as our regular army in terms of equipment and strength, and if they participate in the war, it will really be a little dangerous!" Huo Tianhong was also a little worried.

Nangong Ruoli said: "Don't worry, if Dad can use my tactics, a year is still enough time for them to squander, but in this year, they will lose a lot of territory!"

Huo Tianhong frowned slightly, Nangong Ruoli advocated guerrilla tactics, he also knew that he was also with amazing talent, so he naturally applauded.

It's just that there is some jealousy in his heart, if guerrilla tactics are really used, then the entire Panlong City will fall, that is to say, the emperor will also take the royal relatives and nobles to avoid the mountains.

I don't know if such a tactic can be accepted by Long Xiaotian.

Nangong Ruoli looked up at the sky and said slowly: "It's not just them, after our Five Elements Banner goes out, we won't participate in the frontal battlefield, we also need guerrilla tactics to gradually destroy the enemy!"

"Yes, although our Five Elements Banner has superior combat power, the number of people is only more than 50,000, which is too shabby compared to the enemy's millions of troops!" Huo Tianhong also agreed very much.

Nangong Ruoli's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he spoke: "Cousin, aren't you here to get the elixir? This is the last batch of Gathering Spirit Pills, so I'll give you all the Jinxing Banners, I hope that the Jinxing Banners will all be able to enter the human-level realm within a year, so that they can really be regarded as an elite army!"

With that, hundreds of porcelain vases fell in front of Huo Tianhong.
