The battle between the congenital masters is also very different from the battle between ordinary masters, it is an idle thing to play thousands of moves casually, like Huashan on the sword or something, it may not be possible to distinguish the winner or loser after fighting for seven days and seven nights, Chen Jinhua and Pang Ban After fighting, he understood that this Qing court master really deserved his reputation, and the two of them could not tell the winner by playing thousands of moves or even tens of thousands of moves, so it was better to retreat directly when it seemed to have the upper hand on the surface, so that it would look better on the face.

If you really want to chase to the other side, Pomban doesn't know how many ambushes he has done there, even if he is not afraid, but at least he will be disgraced, so why bother.

"Little monk, if you want to escape, I won't pursue me, lest others say that I am bullying the small. ”

Chen Jinhua consciously took advantage of a little advantage, and was in a good mood, waving to Pang Ban on the bank of the river, as if he was bidding farewell to his friends.

"I wanted to learn the tricks of the chief helmsman Chen, but I didn't expect the chief helmsman to be so timid that he didn't dare to cross the river to fight, but it's a pity. ”

Pang Ban smiled slightly on the other side of the river, but he also said something to hurt others.

Pang Ban's previous actions were indeed to lure the masters on Li Xian's side to the other side to clean up, but Pang Ban himself knew that this kind of strategy was too simple, but anyone who was smarter would not be fooled, just chatting about temptation, and felt a little pity in his heart, but he didn't take it very seriously.

"It's time for us to get on, the special combat team comes forward to occupy the ferry, and the rest are on guard. ”

Li Xian knew that it was the turn of the army to go into battle, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of special combat teams scattered to occupy the commanding heights and favorable terrain, and conducted a strict search on the bank of the river.

Ordinary soldiers naturally formed a phalanx and kept watchful eye.

The special combat team of the Huaxia Army has great achievements and strong strength, and those who can enter the special combat team must be martial artists above the advanced rank, among which there are not even many first-order martial artists, all of them are second-order and third-order martial artists.

Among the five hundred special combat teams brought by Li Xian this time, including two hundred third-order grandmaster-level masters and three hundred second-order masters, and with the most advanced weapons and equipment of this era, it was a very terrifying force.

In the past, the number of Sanyuanguan was only a few hundred, and there was no firearm support, so it was relatively weak in the blessed land, and it had to guard against the invasion of the Qing court, so it did not have the ability or dare to hunt the demon beasts in the blessed land on a large scale, and obtain Dao species and other cultivation resources.

At that time, Sanyuanguan was only one of the large forces in the blessed land, and when encountering a powerful group of demon beasts, it was necessary to retreat three points, so as not to lose too many personnel, and then it would suffer a loss to the masters of the imperial court.

After the cooperation between the Sanyuan Temple and the Mixed Yuan Sect, the number of people who can be invested in the blessed land has directly increased from hundreds to tens of thousands, and there are gunpowder weapons such as artillery and muskets to assist, and the combat effectiveness has immediately increased by hundreds of times, and most of the demon beasts can be shot from a distance with firearms, and the casualty rate in the battle has also plummeted.

In this case, human beings can turn over and become masters in the blessed land, and never dare to provoke a large group of demon beasts, and in turn hunt down any group of demon beasts that do not open their eyes, and the real development of the blessed land will really begin to be implemented.

Moreover, the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Sect made a windfall in the previous Blessed Land Rebellion, and then after occupying Guangzhou, they relied on the sharp firearms and sufficient military strength to kill and kill fierce beasts and demon beasts in the Sanyuan Blessed Land, and obtained tens of thousands of Dao seeds before and after, and the two factions together currently have more than 6,000 advanced martial artists.

Li Xian had the amber golden cicada in his hand, so there was no shortage of exercise cheats required for the cultivation of these martial artists, and there was no shortage of medicinal materials and pills in the blessed land, which made the number of masters in the Huaxia army sequence increase by geometric progression.

To this day, there are two hundred grandmasters and three hundred second-order martial artists in this special combat team led by Li Xian, which was unthinkable a few years ago.

In the whole world, the power of so many grandmasters and martial artists can be taken out at once, in the past, there were only two behemoths of the Qing court and the Demon Sect, and there were barely so many martial artists in heaven and earth, but there were many factions inside, and Chen Jinhua's prestige was insufficient, but he did not have the ability to gather so many grandmasters and martial artists together to fight together.

From this point of view, the Huaxia Army jointly established by the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Sect, in terms of the strength of the martial arts, can barely squeeze into one of the super forces.

It's just that the foundation of these two factions is still a little thinner, and both Li Xian and Xuan Zheng know very well in their hearts that the number of warriors in the Huaxia Army is still a little less, and it is still a lot worse than the imperial court or the Guangxi Demon Sect, and I only hope that after having more Putian blessed land, more masters can be cultivated to make up for the gap in this regard.

When it was too late, the special combat team went out to conduct a carpet search on this side of the riverbank, not missing a single point.

In the age of firearms, the general army gave up the iron armor of the cold weapon era and changed to light clothing, anyway, with the power of firearms, even if you wear iron armor, you can still penetrate, which will only affect the soldier's ability to act.

However, the equipment of these special operations teams is very different from that of ordinary soldiers, wearing high-quality chain mail or fish scale armor, and although they cannot defend themselves against musket fire at close range, they have a good defense against musket fire at medium and long ranges.

The second-order and third-order martial artists have cultivated true qi and gang qi, which can greatly strengthen the defensive ability of the armor on their bodies, and the strength is also several times higher than that of ordinary people, they can withstand heavier armor with stronger defense, and their mobility is less affected, so this kind of heavy armor with martial artists is simply like a moving fortress, which is very difficult to kill.

In the feudal era, the production cost of chain armor and fish scale armor was very expensive, and only the most senior generals could afford to use it, and ordinary soldiers could not expect it at all, at most they could use a little better plate armor.

However, this era was after all the era of steam engines, and the iron wire needed to make chain armor was very easy and cheap to produce, and the wrought iron or steel armor required for fish scale armor was also very simple to use the mechanical forging of steam engine power, so that the Huaxia Army could easily popularize chain armor and fish scale armor among special combat teams.

Originally, there was a debate among the high-level about whether ordinary soldiers should wear iron armor, but after several tests, it was found that ordinary soldiers wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor seriously affected their mobility and sustained combat ability, and on the contrary, it was not conducive to giving full play to their superiority in firepower.

At this time, the special combat team gradually advanced, and there were 200 special combat soldiers wearing chain armor who came out of the ranks, but instead of muskets, they were holding five-meter-long iron halberds, and the one-meter-long blade at the front end was made of high-quality steel, and there was a horizontal blade nearly half a meter high.

This halberd is quite heavy, and it requires extremely high strength and skill to wield, and it is impossible for non-second-order and above martial artists to exert its true power.

The soldier holding the halberd raised the halberd with both hands, with a face armor on his face, an arm shield on his left arm, a special revolver on his waist, a high-quality steel short sword on his right waist, and a musket and a canvas bag for bullets and gunpowder behind him, which was protected by chain mail from beginning to end, and even wore iron boots on his feet, which looked a little bloated, but the murderous aura revealed in it was also undisguised.
