Chapter 121: Entering Beijing (I)
A few days later, Zhao Donghui personally commanded the guerrilla army to vote.
Long Yuandong reorganized the guerrilla army in accordance with the previous agreement, and 40 generals, including Zhao Donghui and Gongsun Liang, were all invited into the small black house.
The three conditions put forward by Long Yuandong are actually very harsh, plus He vigorously said that he wanted to kill Zhao Donghui, Zhao Donghui actually dared to come, even if he was really desperate at that time, it was enough to be worthy of the courage to skip people's four-word comments.
You must know that if he defects to the Dragon Armor Army, he will not only have to be punished and punished, but he may also take his life!
So even He Dali felt a trace of admiration for Zhao Donghui.
After Long Yuandong punished them for closing the small black house, He Dali was inconvenient to kill him again, so he could only consider having the opportunity to trouble him in the future.
The expansion of the Dragon Armor Army is in full swing.
The rumor spread that in Nanjin Pass, Guo Hui of the small giant gate had a powerful subordinate named Zhang Zhongyan, who was dissatisfied with Guo Hui's treason, and quietly brought more than 500 people from his department to vote in the starry night.
Long Yuandong naturally welcomes it.
Xianghe White Lotus received a letter from the islanders of Lotus Xiangwu praying to join the army, and personally came to ask for verification, and learned that the islanders were all voluntary and had not been coerced, so he nodded and allowed them to join the Dragon Armor Army.
So far, the Dragon Armor Army has 3,600 soldiers in Lotus Wood Dock.
The island area is small, the garrison is cramped, and after the fifty warships ordered by Luo Erniang were launched, the water brigade under Feng Asan and Zhao Donghui ate and lived on the ships day and night.
At this time, the money, food and materials secretly transported by the county lord were also transferred to Luo Erniang.
With sufficient money and food and the backing of the distribution center of Xiangheji, the soldiers can concentrate on training without worrying about food and clothing.
Long Yuandong saw that the Longjia Army gradually regained its former prestige and became more powerful, and imagined that Dugu Wen's waist went south to recruit troops and came back, and an iron army of 10,000 people would inevitably show itself in front of the world with a new look, full of joy.
Training is the first priority in the military.
After the structure of the various departments of the Longjia Army is set up, there is no need for generals at or above the brigade level such as Long Yuandong, Yuntianjia, and He Dali to personally train the troops. They were able to have a relatively complete time to cultivate their soul power.
Four months flew by.
Long Yuandong and Gong Luoluo reached level eighty almost at the same time.
He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Zhong Dinghe also stepped into the eighty levels.
Dugu Wen went south to recruit troops, and from time to time he would transport new recruits back. His affairs were complicated, and his cultivation time was small, and he had even risen to level seventy-nine.
Only Yun Tianjia entered the country slowly, and in four months, it only improved by two levels, only seventy-seven levels.
Originally, according to common sense, Yun Tianjia was an extreme chaos attribute, and when he cultivated alone, his speed was comparable to that of other extreme attribute soul masters. When he cultivates with other Extreme Attribute Soul Masters, his speed will be bonus. The more Extreme Soul Masters who cultivate together, the faster his speed will be. Long Yuandong, Gong Luoluo, and He Dali are all extreme attributes, and they have a threefold bonus to him, and he should be the first to reach level eighty.
However, for some reason, Yun Tianjia has had a somewhat muddy past few months, and his cultivation is far less bitter than when he was in the Star First Courtyard before, and it can even be said that it is extremely casual, a bit of a passable taste.
Gong Luoluo was anxious in his heart, and asked several times, but Yun Tianjia passed by perfunctorily.
As for the previous bet, the first person to enter the eighty level can receive gifts from others, Long Yuandong completely forgot about this stubble, and Gong Luoluo saw that Yun Tianjia was not in a good state, and he was not in the mood to mention it.
Xiong Zhuangzhuang originally wanted to win Gong Luoluo's star hexagram card, but unfortunately he lost the bet, Gong Luoluo didn't mention it, and he naturally chose to forget. The rest of the people didn't seem to take the gambling contract seriously, and the matter was over.
As more and more recruits were recruited by Dugu Wenyi, Lotus Xiangwu gradually became a little difficult to bear, so Long Yuandong placed some soldiers on the Xiangheli waterfront south of Lotus Xiangwu, mainly Zhong Dinghe's Heavy Shield Brigade, Xiong Zhuangzhuang's Giant Axe Brigade, and Li Siyun's Fuhuo Brigade.
The two sides of the strait are connected by Feng Asan's water brigade, which is very convenient.
After Long Yuandong's soul power reached level eighty, his self-confidence skyrocketed, and he no longer paid attention to the enemy army in the reeds to the west.
He now urgently needs three ninth-order soul beasts and three eighth-order soul beasts to let him and the generals officially promote to the eighth order, but the eighth-order peak and ninth-order peak soul beasts Xiangheji can't be found, and he originally wanted to launch a dragon armor army to attack Reedang, so that he could go west to the Demon Flame Forest to find a suitable soul beast, but he was temporarily suppressed by Dugu Wenjiao on the grounds that the army was not recruited enough and the training was insufficient.
On this day, Long Yuandong suddenly received the news that the defenders of the Five Elements Sect of the Reeds had retreated and left, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter.
Gong Luoluo brought back a more exciting news: He Xiaoduo ordered Long Yuandong to lead the main generals of the Dragon Armor Army to quickly enter Shizhu Island in Beijing to participate in her succession ceremony, while the large army continued to stay in Lotus Xiangwu to train and recuperate, and was on standby at any time.
Long Yuandong opened the map sketched by the staff headquarters on the wall, thought for a long time, and said loudly: "Since the beginning of spring this year, the activity area of the Five Elements Sect has greatly increased, and its power has spread to Haizhou, Shuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuanzhou, and Derenzhou to the north, and to the southernmost Jingzhou, Huzhou, Tongzhou, Fengzhou, Jiangzhou, Ningzhou, Tongzhou, and Jingzhou are connected, and the entire eastern part of the Tuhao Empire and the southeast corner, only Jianzhou is still in our hands, and almost one-third of the country's territory has become an enemy.
It is possible that the enemy troops in the reeds are retreating because their troops in the occupied areas in the north are empty, or they may have deliberately laid traps to tempt us to pursue, but I think the biggest reason is that they are worried that after our dragon armor army grows stronger, they will one day take their back route. The Five Elements Sect is deliberately keeping a distance from us. ”
"The development trend of the Five Elements Sect has verified Tianjia's judgment last year. And the order of the county lord to pass us on to Beijing to participate in the succession ceremony fully proves Tianjia's foresight. Since the county lord has asked us to enter Beijing, then we can't help but go, and we will discuss the specific arrangements today. ”
He Dali said: "From Lotus Xiangwu to Shizhu Island, you have to pass through Huzhou and Huazhou, Huzhou has all fallen, and Huazhou is also partially occupied by the Five Elements Sect. If we bring more people and make a big noise, we will inevitably be noticed by people and surrounded by enemies. If you bring fewer people, if you fall into the enemy formation, it will be even more ferocious and unlucky. ”
Long Yuandong smiled: "Fatty, did I hear it wrong, when did you become so forward-looking?"
"What are you looking ahead and looking backwards? I'm analyzing the enemy's situation. He Dali said proudly: "Do you think that only if you learn the art of war, I won't learn it?"
Long Yuandong laughed and said, "Okay, you're right. This time I entered Beijing, I think so, first, we can't bring too many people, preferably no more than a hundred people, but all members must be capable, so that the people of the Five Elements Sect may not pay attention to us, even if we notice, as long as we are fast enough, the Five Elements Sect will not be able to form an encirclement, even if we are encircled, there is a way to easily retreat; Second, at least two brigade-level generals must be left, otherwise the Dragon Armor Army will be nearly 10,000 people, and there will be no one to lead it, I am afraid that we will not be able to control the scene and fall into chaos. ”
