Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Second-Rate Warrior
The two armies of Northern Yan and Fusang gathered more than 500,000 troops and fought a decisive battle at Qingyu Mountain. In the end, with less than 30,000 casualties, the Northern Yan Army almost completely annihilated the Fusang Army, laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Goryeo in one fell swoop!
Now, more than a month has passed since that war.
The cold winter in Goryeo has finally quietly passed. A few primroses, standing on the ground where the snow is gradually melting, bring the first wisps of spring.
More than 100,000 Fusang defenders cowered in the Han capital and could not be defended. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Northern Yan Army attacked in all directions, and more than 200,000 Fusang troops scattered everywhere were broken one by one.
At present, in the entire land of Goryeo, except for the Fusang people in the Han capital, there are no more than 1,000 Fuso troops. Except for a very small number of Fusang people near the sea, who fled back to Fusang by boat, nearly one million Fusang troops have been wiped out.
It was only at this time that Xue Wanche gathered nearly 300,000 Northern Yan troops and surrounded the Han capital. Just wait for the time to come, there will be a turtle in the urn!
Because Hou Fatzi led 3,000 cavalry to make extraordinary achievements in the battle of Qingyu Mountain, plus he killed dozens of Fusang generals under the Han capital, he has been promoted to three levels in a row, and has been promoted from the deputy division of the hussar battalion of the fourth grade to become a real commander general.
The soldiers of the pro-military battalion who survived, everyone was rewarded, and the lowest official rank was already a positive eight-rank Lianzheng.
Only Zhou Hao, because he doesn't want to be an official, is still a big soldier. However, in several bloody battles in Goryeo, Zhou Hao's military exploits were too outstanding, and Xue Wanche specially invited him from the imperial court for the title of hereditary viscount, titled Viscount Changqing, and enjoyed the four grades of Lu, and the fief was thirty miles around Shuangfeng Village in Changqing Mountain.
Zhou Hao doesn't attach much importance to anything else, but with this fiefdom of Shuangfeng Village, at least the villagers of Shuangfeng Village will no longer have to pay all kinds of harsh taxes to the imperial court in the future. Because nominally, Shuangfeng Village is his Zhou Hao's territory, and the hundreds of hunters in the village only need to pay taxes to him Zhou Hao. Of course, Zhou Hao couldn't collect any taxes from the villagers.
In addition, Zhou Hao's previous accumulated exploits have actually reached more than 700 points!
Of course, this is not to say that Zhou Hao really cut off more than 700 heads, but the result of the combination of various combat exploits.
For example, following Xue Wanche to capture the northern city wall of Pingcheng, even if a Fusang person is not killed, it is a great achievement to behead thirty heads. Flying horses to report the news, this is another thirty heads of the great work. And every time a Fusang general is killed, it is a great achievement of thirty heads.
More than 700 points of military exploits are converted into more than 3,000 taels of silver! With the silver reward he received last time, Zhou Hao now has more than 4,000 taels of silver tickets in his pocket! This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Zhou Hao!
Not only that, Zhou Hao is not far from exchanging the next part of the high-level exercise-Thick Earth Mending Heaven Gong!
Of course, what Zhou Hao is most concerned about is his own cultivation progress.
After several times of refining his cultivation talent, now Zhou Hao can run the Great Zhou Tian more than eighty times in one day!
This speed is really terrifying, it is more than twenty times that of Zhou Hao when he first started cultivating!
Now Zhou Hao cultivates for one day, which is almost equivalent to one month of cultivation at the beginning!
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the spring cold is precipitous!
After months of hard training, Zhou Hao's cultivation finally reached the realm of full internal strength and like clouds!
"Whew!" There was a soft sound in the dantian, Zhou Hao had just reached the realm of full of internal strength and like clouds and mist, and the internal strength in the dantian immediately began to rotate slowly!
Gradually, the internal strength of the air flow, gradually formed a whirlpool-like cloud! This cloud composed of internal strength, although the volume is only the size of a sea bowl, but the weather is myriad, mysterious and extraordinary!
This slowly rotating cloud is the sign of a second-rate martial artist - an internal cyclone!
Once an internal cyclone is born in the dantian, the dantian is no longer lifeless. The internal strength seemed to come to life, and the induction between him and Zhou Hao suddenly increased several times, and the speed of running the internal strength immediately increased several times.
Not only that, Zhou Hao also felt that internal strength had truly become a part of his body. The milky white cyclone is constantly expanding and shrinking slightly with his own breathing!
It is precisely because of this subtle induction that Zhou Hao feels that he can use his internal strength, like his arms and fingers, easily, and when there is no third-rate martial artist at all, he feels so hard and jerky to operate!
Zhou Hao's heart suddenly moved, and a trace of internal energy was suddenly poured into the index finger of his right hand, and then he gently poked it on the hard ground with his index finger.
"Poof!" the entire index finger stabbed into the ground completely, without the slightest sense of blockage.
The internal strength moves at will, and it is more skillful to use, and there is no need to deliberately guide it at all, this is the difference between second-rate martial artists and third-rate martial artists, not just that the internal strength is stronger!
"This second-rate martial artist is really far more powerful than a third-rate martial artist! Although the master has killed several second-rate martial artists before, they all rely on rainstorm arrows and formation arrows, if you face a second-rate martial artist at close range, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death!"
Zhou Hao pulled out his finger and said with emotion.
But from now on, Zhou Hao himself has become a second-rate martial artist!
From the beginning of cultivation to the promotion to a second-rate martial artist, it only took Zhou Hao five months!
Moreover, after the strengthening and expansion of the essence, the dantian is three times larger than others, the size of a sea bowl!
This means that Zhou Hao's internal strength is several times stronger than that of others, not to mention that Zhou Hao's internal strength has already reached the extreme, and the power is even more incomparable!
Now, even if they don't use the arrows of the formation, other second-rate martial artists are far from being Zhou Hao's opponents in terms of internal strength alone.
Zhou Hao sat cross-legged in his tent, contented with the feeling of the internal strength of the dantian, the steaming clouds, and the excitement in his chest, overflowing!
"Phew!" couldn't suppress his excitement, Zhou Hao couldn't help but raise his head and howl.
Xue Wanche was sitting on the tiger skin chair in the big tent, discussing with a group of generals, when he was interrupted by this sudden long roar, Xue Wanche frowned slightly and said: "This stinky boy, he doesn't do business all day long, what is he calling?"
Then he turned to the scar next to him and said, "Go and call that kid and see what he is calling!"
Scar nodded, turned around and walked towards Zhou Hao's tent not far away.
A moment later, Scar led Zhou Hao, whose excitement had not yet faded, into the Chinese army's tent.
Xue Wanche raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhou Hao and asked, "You kid, it's okay to call the ghost!"
Xue Wanche looked at Zhou Hao slightly, and said in surprise: "You kid actually became a second-rate martial artist?"
These third-rate martial artists and second-rate martial artists are very different in terms of cultivation, and Xue Wanche, who is a top master, can see at a glance that Zhou Hao is not going to be the same now.
Zhou Hao grinned and said with a faint smile: "Hehe, General, I just gave birth to an internal strength cyclone and became a real second-rate martial artist!"
"What, you've only been cultivating for a few months, and you've actually become a second-rate martial artist?"
Not only Xue Wanche was taken aback, but even the scar and a cadre of generals in the tent stared at Zhou Hao in disbelief, as if they had discovered some monster!
