Chapter 774: Expansion

Previously, Al Zhanhu was ordered by Xia Fan to enter the Holy Dragon Country to wreak havoc, and under the information provided by Xiao Fan, he did attack many logistics and transfer warehouses of the Holy Dragon Army, and gained a lot, so he asked Xiao Fan to send the looted things back to the barbarians.

The barbarians who tasted the sweetness immediately became eager, and then many barbarian warriors followed Xiao Pan to deliver things, and entered the Holy Dragon Kingdom to join Al Zhanhu and others, which also increased the number of barbarians in Al Zhanhu's hands to five thousand at once.

With these 5,000 people, Al Zhanhu's courage became stronger and stronger, and he frequently attacked the supply lines of the Holy Dragon Kingdom's army to reap the benefits. Al Zhanhu and others attacked so frequently, causing great damage to the logistics of the Holy Dragon Country, how could Long Xiaoshu let them go easily, although Xiao Pan helped to cover up the whereabouts of the barbarians, but as the so-called night road is too much, it is inevitable that they will encounter ghosts, and when they looted again not long ago, the barbarians were caught by the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Although they dared to fight and fought without fear of death, Al Zhanhu rushed out with the barbarian warriors, but everyone was injured, and in order to get rid of the enemy's pursuit as soon as possible, they broke into the Chifeng Mountain.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, as long as we cross the Chifeng Mountain, and then travel more than five thousand miles to the southeast, we can see the Jade Dragon River of the Holy Dragon Country, as far as I know, the naval army led by Ge Changhe will just pass over there, we can take their boat and withdraw from the Holy Dragon Country." Xiao Pan said to Al Zhanhu.

"Are we going to leave like this?" I am not reconciled!" said Al Zhanhu with an unhappy face. If he had looted enough things and retreated after being satisfied, there would naturally be no problem, but now he had exposed his whereabouts because of a mistake, and then he was chased and intercepted by the Holy Dragon Army's tail and intercepted in many ways, embarrassed like a lost dog, which made Al Zhanhu's heart always feel a little unhappy.

"Let's retreat over there first, take it with us and see the situation, if we can get rid of the pursuers, it's not too late for us to continue grabbing. Xiao Pan persuaded.

"Okay, I'll listen to you first. Al Zhanhu glanced back behind him and said hatefully: "When I have the opportunity, I must fight back and kill all the guys behind me who are chasing us endlessly!"

............

Compared to the slightly more dangerous situation of the barbarian warriors led by Al Zhanhu, Yukong Yue, who was leading the army to attack Lan Haolin, was much more comfortable.

After a period of conquest, Yu Kongyue not only captured more than one-third of Lan Haolin's already small territory, but also increased the total number of soldiers and horses under his command to 300,000 in one go by continuously recruiting prisoners.

Interestingly, those soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Lan Haolin were very vulnerable when they were under his command, and they were quickly routed almost as soon as they touched the army of Yukong Yue, but after being absorbed, they became unusually fierce and fierce, especially when attacking their former comrades, they were even more brave, which really made people feel a little incredible.

Although the speed of the attack was already quite fast, Yu Kongyue still felt a little slow, but she also understood in her heart that speed is not enough, so she did not blindly urge the generals under her command to lead the troops, especially some things such as cleaning up the remnants of the enemy army on the captured chassis and stabilizing the hearts of the people in the market, and repeatedly asked her subordinates to be cautious and cautious, so as not to leave any mistakes in the future, so as not to leave any hidden dangers for the future rule.

In the continuous battle, the most outstanding performance was not the original army of Yukong Yue, but the Crescent Moon Legion composed of the remnants of the five thousand Holy Dragon Kingdom led by Ma Tianxing.

In all the battles, the Crescent Moon Legion has shown great ferocity and tenacity, and has made great contributions to defeating the enemy, especially Ma Tianxing, who has taken the lead every time and performed very well.

During this period, the Crescent Moon Legion, which was originally only established at random, and the purpose was purely to house these remnants of the Holy Dragon Country, was also constantly changing. As their contributions grew, the rewards given by the Sky Moon naturally increased.

However, Yukong Yue still has some wariness of them, so the reward for them is more money and armor blades, etc., even if some meritorious personnel are promoted to military positions, most of them are fictitious positions, the reason is very simple, some people's merits are enough to be promoted to a thousand commanders, and Yu Kong Yue naturally gave them the corresponding ranks, but now the Crescent Moon Legion has five thousand people at full duty, and five thousand commanders are enough. The rest can only be hung up with false titles, and there is no real soldier and horse at all.

Those nominal officers didn't dare to say anything, and at the same time, they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction with Yukong Yue, but they were definitely not very satisfied in their hearts, and they must have complained a lot in private.

Ma Tianxing was sincerely loyal to Yukong Yue, and after hearing some bad remarks, he punished a few of the people who danced the most. At the same time, he also approached the Sky Moon and proposed the idea of expanding the Crescent Moon Legion so that he could create greater military exploits for the Sky Moon.

If Yu Kong Yue is willing, of course, at this time, he can push the boat down the river and expand the Crescent Moon Legion, and at the same time, it can also mix in a lot of sand, and even completely dilute the remnants of the original Holy Dragon Kingdom to the extent that it is not too threatening at all. For example, the Sky Moon directly expanded the Crescent Moon Legion to 50,000 or even 100,000, so that the 5,000 remnants of the Holy Dragon Kingdom would become a complete minority among them, even if they wanted to make waves.

It's just that Yukong Yue didn't plan to do this, because she hadn't thought about how to use this special army until now, but she knew very well that a large part of the reason why this Crescent Moon Legion was so brave and fierce now was because they were all remnants of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Here, they are an absolute minority, so in order to live, they have to hold together, and at the same time, in order to live better, they have to fight frantically, accumulate military merits, so that other armies dare not despise them, and at the same time get the attention of Yukong Yue.

It sounds a little incredible, but it is true, these Crescent Legions, which were composed of the elite of the original Holy Dragon Kingdom, fought so bravely, really to prove themselves, at least not to let others look down on them.

The reason why this is the case is also because the army under the command of Yu Kong Yue has defeated them more than once, so that when these people face their old opponents, there are always some shadows in their hearts that are difficult to erase. Even if they are now serving under the command of the Sky Moon, they can be regarded as comrades, but the people of the Crescent Moon Legion still have a feeling of being half short when facing the other elite troops under the command of the Sky Moon.

This made everyone in the Crescent Legion feel ashamed, so they wanted to prove their bravery by fighting bravely again and again, and at the same time wash away their shame.

Yu Kong Yue saw all this very clearly, so he didn't plan to stuff other people into it, lest he destroy this army that had begun to gradually have its own military soul in the past vicious battles.

However, Ma Tianxing's suggestion was impossible to completely ignore Yu Kongyue, so after thinking about it again, she finally made a decision, and said: "General Ma, I don't object to your idea, the Crescent Moon Legion should indeed be expanded, but I am not prepared to transfer men and horses from other brother troops to supplement you." But I can give you the right to recruit troops, and I allow you to recruit soldiers from the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and as long as he can integrate with you and be loyal to me, then he can become a member of the Crescent Legion. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Kongyue paused, then looked at Ma Tianxing, who showed joy and excitement on his face, and said coldly: "But I also want to give you a warning, if you don't control and screen, and the soldiers and horses you recruit have problems, such as having two hearts, plotting against you or something, then don't blame me for being ruthless, when the time comes, it will be light to split the Crescent Moon Legion, and it is very likely that you will be completely killed directly, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood. Ma Tianxing knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "If there is such a thing, I don't need you to punish it, I will also kill the rebel and then bear all the consequences, in short, I guarantee that the Crescent Moon Legion will be completely loyal to you, no matter who has two hearts, they will be exterminated and will not be tolerated." ”

"If you understand, just do it. Yu Kong Yue nodded.

Although Ma Tianxing got the promise of Yu Kongyue, it was not easy for him to recruit the remnants of the Holy Dragon Kingdom under the current situation, after all, they were in Lan Haolin's territory at this time, and they were still tens of thousands of miles away from the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

However, Ma Tianxing did not give up, but sent a few trustworthy subordinates, ordering them to go to the Qingcao Lake where the battle was going at this time with the seal letter he obtained after submitting to Yukong Yue and the handwritten letter from Yukong Yue, hoping to get some prisoners of the Holy Dragon Kingdom from friendly forces, and then integrate them into the Crescent Moon Legion.

Ma Tianxing's every move, Yu Kong Yue watched it, but she didn't have anything, because for the current battle situation, this is really a trivial matter. At the same time, she was curious about what the Crescent Legion would eventually become. If it does develop as she expected, it may become a model for the future to co-opt the enemy army and make good use of it.

Of course, if something goes wrong with the Crescent Legion, Yukong Yue is not afraid, and she is confident that she can destroy it at will.

............

Xia Fan didn't know that Yu Kongyue was making a bold attempt, and even if he knew, he would definitely support it with all his might, because for him, establishing a force and capturing a large area of territory was really playing. Of course, it's best to play well, and if you don't play well, it's okay to tear it down and start over, as long as you have fun, you just need to have fun.

At this time, Xia Fan was running the Qiankun Righteous Qi Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transforming it into his own mana, making up for the loss during the previous battle, and at the same time recuperating his injuries.
