In this era, the most powerful class of troops is still cavalry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The advantage of cavalry is the ability to maneuver quickly. Especially when fighting alone, cavalry is better than infantry. When assembled, it is far superior to infantry in mobile warfare. However, in positional warfare, there is not much advantage in the face of the infantry who are ready to fight, especially the pikemen. For positional attacks, the advantage of cavalry lies in the fast maneuver of the old line. It can break through the weak points of the enemy's defense in a short time, gather overwhelming force superiority, and fight a bloody way, so as to tear through the opponent's defense line and achieve the final victory.

Like all classes, cavalry has evolved more branches in warfare. For example, the heavy cavalry, this class of troops is named after the heavy armor they wear. The advantage is that it can protect against a certain amount of physical damage and has a strong positional combat ability. However, the heavy cavalry was quite poor in mobility, and it was extremely expensive to build and maintain, and it was extremely demanding on riders and horses. In addition, each heavy cavalry had to have a separate squire to help the knights and horses put on their armor, to help them mount and dismount, and so on...... Without enough funds, it is simply impossible to create a qualified heavy cavalry. Moreover, the most fatal problem is that the smelting technology has created a stainless steel arrowhead, and a powerful longbow can shoot through the heaviest armor that the human physique can withstand. In this respect, the heavy cavalry has actually lost its meaning of existence.

Light cavalry works best in battle. The knight wore only leather armor, or even no armor at all. This is an efficient class that has a firm grasp of its own points, can maintain its ability to maneuver quickly to its best, and is also the most offensive class.

There are also archers, which are a combination of light cavalry and archers, almost the most perfect class of troops of this era. However, the archers were too demanding in terms of skill and ability. Except for some of the northern nomads, it was impossible for the rest of the country to form a large-scale archers. After all, shooting accurately on the back of a bumpy running horse is definitely a difficult skill that needs to be trained from a young age. In another world, there is a war maniac named Genghis Khan, who relied on this trick to conquer half the world.

The basic component of the Xuanhuo Legion is the infantry. That's all the money allocated by the household. It is simply not possible to use it as a horse offering. Although Yang Tianhong is a monk, he also has the special ability to domesticate and capture desolate beasts, but it takes time for desolate beasts to accumulate. With the current strength of the Xuanhuo Legion, it has a desolate beast cavalry of hundreds of people, and it is already the most powerful force on the entire continent. Moreover, the Gao family and Yang Tianhong have formed an alliance, as long as they catch a desolate beast suitable for riding, they will be transferred over as soon as possible. As long as Anzhou is well managed, it will never be long. The number of the Xuanhuo Legion's Desolate Beast Cavalry can exceed 1,000. If it is separated, it will definitely become the most powerful spearhead of attack.

As for the horses...... Yang Tianhong really has no better access to this aspect, so he can only buy it from the north through the Meng family firm. Anju is mountainous, and cavalry training is not easy and time-consuming. However, in the long run, it is impossible to have a large number of cavalry. Speaking of which, it's still that problem, in Anju. Yang Tianhong must be dormant for a while.

Yang Tong quickly retreated.

Yang Tianhong got up from his chair and slowly walked to the edge of the hall. Standing on the steps, his face was full of ambition.

Hua Jun, dressed in a pale gray robe, appeared behind him silently.

"Master Hou, I'm back. Hua Jun's attitude and words were very respectful.

Although he is an outcast of the Guiyuan Sect, Hua Jun understands that as long as he is willing. You can return to the Guiyuan Sect at any time. It's just a mistake made that day, and it takes time to clean it up slowly. In contrast, Hua Jun prefers to stay by Yang Tianhong's side and help him achieve great things step by step.

If it had been a few years ago, Hua Jun would definitely not have such a thought. At most, he is acting as a bodyguard by Yang Tianhong's side. As Yang Tianhong's plan was implemented step by step, Hua Jun was shocked to find that this junior of the division was very thoughtful, and he had the ambition to put the whole world into it. On that day, Yang Tianhong promised that he would definitely be able to go to the north to find Rong Di for revenge, which was definitely not a casual remark, but had a real and feasible basis.

For people with ability and status, Huajun has always respected them. What's more, the identity between himself and Yang Tianhong was already clearly distinguished when he left Guiyuan Sect - he was his servant. This will not change at any time.

Yang Tianhong did not respond to etiquette. He didn't turn around, stared at the verdant mountains in the distance, and said lightly, "How many people have been sent from the sect this time?"

Hua Jun said: "Three hundred people in total. Among them, one hundred and fifty are outer disciples who have passed the training and assessment, and the other fifty are inner disciples who have just successfully established the foundation. The remaining hundred people included this group of alchemy apprentices of the Purple Furnace Hall who were training alternately, as well as the disciples of the Highnesses of Flame, Thick Earth, and Spiritual Water. ”

According to the plan secretly formulated between Yang Tianhong and Zhong Yuanyu, the Guiyuan Sect would send some disciples to serve in the Xuanhuo Army in the form of periodic training. This was partly due to the steel-armored violence, but more importantly, it was the foresight of the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu. He found that fighting hard in the mundane world could greatly improve the monk's combat ability. Xu Jinhui, a disciple of the Aoki Hall who returned from Wuyuan Mountain, and others are clear examples. On that day, if it weren't for Yang Tianhong's proposal for the Luo Tu Hall to develop a small five-person battle formation, and if it hadn't been for Yang Tianhong's whimsical idea to ask the Flame Hall to build a black iron ring, Xu Jinhui and the others would definitely not be the opponents of the more than ten foundation building monks of the Golden Light Sect. Not to mention that there is also a Jindan Grandmaster among them. Although the ripe elixir around Wuyuan Mountain was precious, it was not as important as the five Guiyuan Sect disciples who had devoted themselves to cultivation. But fighting this kind of thing, it's not like you can stop if you don't fight. In many cases, the competition between the monks is often endless. If every Guiyuan Sect disciple can survive the battle, both experience and skill can increase rapidly, which will be of great help to future cultivation.

The competition in the cultivation world is extremely dangerous. Even if it is a monk event like the Spring Daybi, which has a rewarding and stimulating atmosphere, it is still inevitable that there will be a fall of the disciples of this sect. In contrast, if the disciples of this sect were sent to the Xuanhuo Army for training, so that they could suppress their own cultivation in the worldly war, and participate in the fight as much as possible with ordinary physiques, they would not be bound by the rules of heaven and earth, and they could gain experience from them.

This is not unfounded speculation. A few years ago. The Guiyuan Sect sent three foundation building disciples to serve in Yang Tianhong's army. Facts have proved that in the case of suppressing their own strength, the rules of heaven and earth will indeed not have any impact on the monks. This also confirmed Yang Tianhong's guess in disguise - as long as he did not use spiritual energy, the monk's behavior would not trigger the rules of heaven and earth. This kind of law, which has been handed down from ancient times, is actually the restriction and restraint of psionic effects.

Yang Tianhong is very satisfied with this. Winning people's hearts is actually not as difficult as imagined. In another world. The methods used by MLM organizations to brainwash are widely spread. He just applied the essence of it, and he firmly contained the hearts of all the monks sent by the sect. What's more, he has a huge amount of wealth in his hands. Whether it is worldly gold or silver, or elixir, as long as you bring it up, I can give it. In the long run, the Guiyuan Sect will definitely be happy and convinced of themselves. Of course, Yang Tianhong did not have the slightest idea of killing Zhong Yuanyu and replacing him. At most, he wanted to cultivate after Zhong Yuanyu advanced to the Mahayana and ascended to the upper realm. Reasonably and legally become the new suzerain of the Guiyuan Sect.

The little people want to climb up. Although there are some unscrupulous means, there is no problem with the reason and process. Just like the pawns in chess in another world, as long as they move forward bravely and rush to the opponent's bottom line, they can immediately become any chess piece on the board except the king.

Turning around and looking at Hua Jun, who had become his confidant, Yang Tianhong said slowly: "The arrangement of the sect disciples is no different from those in front of him. The march to the barracks of the barracks. Those who should go to the Danfang go to the Danfang. Daily use should be provided in accordance with the prescribed quota. But. Among the outer disciples, fifty people should be divided into the water army of Yang Tong. This is very important, and there must not be any sloppiness. ”

Hua Jun nodded in agreement.

Yang Tianhong said again: "Why is there a lot more people who have been sent over this time than before? There are actually fifty people. I remember that when the last group of fellow disciples came, there were only six foundation building monks. ”

A smile appeared on Hua Jun's face: "I was just trying to explain this matter to Master Hou." The previous batches of Danfang apprentices have made rapid progress in their cultivation, and they have all been promoted to high-level alchemists. Presently. The supply of pills in the upper and lower sects is sufficient, and both the outer disciples and the people of the various halls are making rapid progress. This group of 50 people who went down the mountain all successfully built the foundation within half a year. The sect master has specially instructed me to give a few words of encouragement to the Hou Ye. said that no matter what the Hou Ye wanted, as long as the Guiyuan Sect had it, he would definitely not be stingy. If there is no Guiyuan Sect, the sect will also send people to collect and find it as soon as possible. ”

Yang Tianhong smiled and did not speak.

He was very satisfied with the attitude of the Guiyuan Sect. When I followed Chen Zhengjian up the mountain that day, I never thought that I would come to this point. Although the interests of the Guiyuan Sect and themselves are related, to put it bluntly, they are using each other. But whether it is the sect master Zhong Yuanyu or the mountain guarding spirit beast steel armor, they all care for themselves incomparably. What's more, the Purple Furnace Hall advocates that Shuo has been trying his best to cultivate himself, and his master Chen Zhengjian is also on his side, firmly acting as the most solid backing.

"I have returned to the Yuan Sect to accumulate strength, cultivate diligently, and one day become the leader of the entire cultivation world. In the world, the husband must have a goal beyond ordinary people. Uncle Hua, since you and I have already taken a step, there is absolutely no reason to shrink back. The road ahead is difficult, and you may have to face the danger of a cliff at any point. But no matter what, since you're gone, you can't go back. ”

Yang Tianhong's words are not only encouragement, but also contain an element of admonition. As he spoke, he took out a wine jug from the Qiankun bag he carried with him and handed it to Hua Jun: "This is the new wine that has just been brewed, and I invite Uncle Hua to taste it." By the way, a little bit of advice. ”

Hua Jun took the flask, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

After following Yang Tianhong for a long time, Hua Jun has already understood a truth: as long as it is something that Yang Tianhong takes out, it will definitely not be ordinary. I don't know how many secrets this young man has. In just a few years, Yang Tianhong's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has changed from the initial foundation building to the current ninth layer of foundation building. One step further and after crossing the realm of the Great Perfection, you can become a well-known Jindan Grandmaster.

With such a rapid cultivation speed, even a legendary genius is nothing more than that.

Speaking of geniuses, we can't fail to mention the twelve dancing girls that Yang Tianhong sent up the mountain some time ago.

People who have spiritual roots are just different. Whether it was Lin Binglan, Lin Ruqiao, or Lin Yinglei, these women who were snatched up by the hall masters in the Spirit Palace that day showed their enviable talents in cultivation. In less than a year, the Twelve Dancing Girls cultivated to become the most powerful. He has already crossed the eighth layer of Qi training. Even the slowest progress has the strength of the seventh layer of Qi training. Of course, to some extent, this must also be attributed to the large amount of pills provided by the alchemists who were trained by Yang Tianhong's side. In this regard, the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu specially issued a return order: it is strictly forbidden for anyone to leak the news about the twelve dancing girls. All the resources within the sect are focused on the twelve dancing girls. If it goes well. Within this year, these highly qualified dancers will definitely be able to successfully build a foundation.

Those who go up the mountain in the first year will be able to build the foundation in the second year. This is nothing short of a myth. Even if there were no restrictions on the Returning Order, no one would believe that this was true.

Looking down at the wine jug in his hand, Hua Jun took back his flying thoughts. He opened the lid of the flask and immediately smelled a rich aroma of wine, and his mind was immediately relaxed. An indescribable feeling of comfort arose in my head.

"Good wine!

Hua Jun was originally a person who likes to drink, and he naturally has extraordinary insight into the identification of the quality of wine. He picked up the flask and tasted it, his face changed suddenly, and a strange look was released in his eyes.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Hua Jun first applauded, and then was pleasantly surprised: "It's almost slipping down." You don't feel the presence of alcohol in your mouth. Dao Ancestor is above, this is definitely the best wine I have ever drunk in my life. ”

didn't wait for Yang Tianhong to answer. Hua Jun discovered the wonder of this wine again.

"This wine is full of psionic energy?"

The moment the words blurted out, Hua Jun also felt that there was something wrong with this statement, and immediately closed his mouth. However, physical sensations cannot be faked in any way. The liquor that entered the inner abdomen dissolved in the dantian and turned into a faint spiritual energy that entered the meridians. Start the cycle.

Only an elixir would have such an effect. Hua Jun, as the Jindan Grandmaster, has completed his cultivation during the time he has been by Yang Tianhong's side. The perception of psionic energy is no matter how familiar it is, and it will definitely not produce mistakes.

The reason why the elixir is precious. It is because the elixir can lock in spiritual energy and turn the essence of the herb into the use of monks. This process of change is actually completely consistent with the energy conversion theory of another world. It's just that there are many kinds of objects in the world, but after artificial concoction, there is only one kind of elixir that can lock the spiritual energy.

There is a kind of fairy tea growing in the mountain behind Taiyi Palace, and it is said that after frying, it also has a similar effect. However, the spiritual energy component in it is very light, far less than the elixir.

The same is true of the carp produced by the lake on Taiyi Palace. Yang Tianhong once ate it, and the taste of the fish was very delicious, and it also had the effect of spiritual nourishment.

Whether it is fairy tea or carp, they are born and raised, and they need an extremely harsh natural environment. The wine is different, it is artificially brewed, and at most it has a mellow taste. When it comes to psychic powers, I'm afraid anyone will take it as a joke.

Hua Jun poured several sips of wine into his mouth in a row, savoring it slowly, and his eyes were also full of curiosity and doubt, staring at Yang Tianhong who was standing opposite.

He asked tentatively, "Master Hou, have you found the legendary fairy spirit rice?"

This is a legend in the cultivation world. The Fairy Rice is a product of ancient times, but it has become extinct when the heavens and the earth are in chaos. Over the years, the saying about the Immortal Rice has spread throughout the cultivation world, and it has been recorded in many classics. However, no one has actually seen it.

The basis of sake brewing is nothing more than rice grains or fruits. Hua Jun didn't think about the fairy fruit at all. No one has ever seen anything like that. Even if there were, it would only be used for alchemy, and it would not be possible to use it for sake brewing anyway. To do so is simply a waste and an out-and-out loser.

Yang Tianhong laughed: "Immortal Rice? I want this kind of thing too, but I've never seen it, let alone use it to make wine. ”

Hua Jun was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he raised the wine jug high, shook it in front of Yang Tianhong's eyes, and asked suspiciously: "It's not fairy rice, so where does this wine come from?"

Yang Tianhong said lightly: "Uncle Hua is well-informed, and he must have heard of the "jade liquid elixir" recorded in the classical books. Speaking of which, it's actually alcohol. It's just that the way of brewing alcohol in ancient times was different from today. Anzhou grain and rice are cheap, and the output is huge. The road to Suizhou is not smooth, and it is difficult to transport out. Thinking about it, I think that instead of letting the grain and rice become moldy, it is better to use it to make wine. It was also unintentionally obtained, when making rice wine, I added a few herbs to it, so I got this pot of wine in Uncle Hua's hand. ”

Hearing this, Hua Jun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

has had a lot of contact with Yang Tianhong, and Hua Jun knows more or less about his temperament and character. For secrets, Yang Tianhong has always been tight-lipped about secrets. If you are not mistaken, the source of this pot of wine should be brewed by Yang Tianhong himself. As for what invisible accidents, it is a nonsense that deceives people with red lips and white teeth. Throughout the ages, there have been only a few famous wines in the world. Whatever one of them is to be praised by everyone, which one didn't take a lot of effort to make? )
