Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 366 Divine Machine Battalion, Musketeers

It was already June in a blink of an eye.

It has been almost two months since Qingniu Kingdom declared war on Dagan.

In two months, under the uninterrupted transportation of the Penglai Fleet, the entire Xiatian Corps of [-] troops was finally transported to the battlefield of Qingniu Country.

The iron and steel defense lines in Zhushan and Zhuoguang were completed one by one half a month ago under the non-stop soil work of more than [-] monsters.

For this reason, the General Military Department transported 1500 psionic cannons of different standards and more than [-] shells of various types to the two places to arm the two lines of defense to the teeth.

This nearly emptied the entire artillery and ammunition reserves of the Combat Readiness Division.

Under the heavy cover of artillery, the Yantian Corps fought no less than [-] large and small battles with the Qingniu Kingdom Monster Army on two battlefields, and battles broke out almost every day.

The demon army, which had never suffered a big loss, was frustrated one after another in front of the steel defense line.

…………

June [-]th, sunny.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the Penglai docked at Zhushan Port, broke down and stopped.

Different from the crude port opened up by Yingqiong and King Xuanquan two months ago, the Zhushan Port at this time has been well-built.

In addition to the day and night work of thousands of demon people, there are also hundreds of contributions from professional craftsmen.

On the pier, goods were piled up like a mountain, and people flowed like weaves. There were not only the war materials supplied by the Penglai Fleet in a steady stream, but also the spoils to be transported back to Dagan.

For example, the monster weapons and equipment seized from the battlefield must be transported back to the country and handed over to the arsenal for re-forging to become the raw material for the manufacture of loyal military suits.

Another example is the captive monster warriors and monster cow mounts, which must also be transported back to the country for disposal.

Putting them on the front line would not cause chaos. After all, they are all banned, but it will consume too much food and grass, causing a great logistical burden to the already difficult army.

Instead of this, it is better to transport them all back to the country for resettlement.

In the early stage of the war, the Yantian Corps was still able to plunder food and grass nearby. When the monster army arrived, all the food and grass supplies could be replenished in the country.

The food and grass consumed by the [-] troops every day is an astronomical figure.

In one year, Taipu Temple has built twelve large military horse farms in Zhulong and Beidi counties, which are specially used to raise various monster mounts.

The demon cow is one of the ideal mounts.

This has injected a boost to Dagan's ongoing cavalry construction.

Even those monsters who participated in the construction of the steel defense line, most of them had to be transported back to the country for resettlement after the defense line was built.

In the past May, the imperial court promulgated a new decree, referring to Yu Yutian's practice in other human race countries, clarifying the legality of raising demon servants.

It is tantamount to opening the gate for the folk to raise demon servants.

It is very suitable for such a group of demon people to be transported back to the country, or hired as grooms, or put into the manor to cultivate, or used as servants or maids.

So very sought after.

A few days ago, the Asset Management Department had set up the first semi-official servant trading market in Daqian in the West City of the God City, which caused a sensation.

I also know that this group of monsters can be sold for a large sum of money by changing hands, and then the asset management department will transfer it to the account of the account department to supplement the huge consumption of this war.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Finance really couldn't bear it.

…………

After the Penglai docked, Qian Yuan walked down the deck surrounded by Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao.

"Meet the king!"

On the pier, Pei Xingyan and Yingqiong were waiting here early.

According to the arrangement of the Yantian Corps commanding Zhantian, the first, third, fifth, and seventh divisions of the Yantian Corps were stationed in Zhushan City, with Pei Xingyan as the commander; Zhantian led the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth divisions to station at Zhushan City. In Zhuoguang City.

After all, in terms of scale, Zhuoguang City is much larger than Zhushan City.

Moreover, Zhuoguang City is located in the northern part of the Qingniu Kingdom, where the Qingniu Kingdom deployed heavy troops, and the occupation time was late, so the pressure it faced was naturally greater.

"Your Majesty came to inspect the front line in person. It is a great honor for the last general and all the soldiers of the Left Army." As soon as he came up, Pei Xingyan put a high hat on Qian Yuan.

It's like an iron-blooded general rolling out of a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

Guarding Zhushan City for more than two months, while trying to keep the defense line intact, he repeatedly repelled the invasion of the Qingniu Kingdom's demon army. Pei Xingyan has already made great achievements in this battle, and he has completely become famous among the generals.

Even in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Pei Xingyan, a young hero, already has a bit of fame.

What's even more enviable is that with the help of this battle, Pei Xingyan was promoted two levels in a row, breaking through to the late stage of Wu Zun in one fell swoop.

It is only one step away from the realm of the Martial God.

In the past few years, with the convenience of war, generals such as Di Qing, Yu Jin, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Yue Yun, Kuang Dao Zhang Fang, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, etc., broke through to the realm of martial lords one after another.

However, only Xu Chu, Li Jing, and the fifth Ziyue were able to go one step further and step into the realm of Martial Gods.

Even Xue Rengui is still lingering in the late stage of Wu Zun.

After Qianyuan refining the list of gods, each of these generals was on the list, and the acquisition of merit in the world was directly linked to the meritorious service established on the battlefield.

Whoever can continue to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield will be able to continuously break through in martial arts.

Works better than any panacea.

Pei Xingyan is the perfect positive example. He overtook another car in a corner and got ahead of Yu Jin, Xu Rong and other generals in one fell swoop.

It's no wonder that during this period, the generals of the other four corps screamed all day long, crying and shouting to go to the front to fight, not wanting the Xia Tian Corps to focus on the front.

Pei Ju, the minister of the Ministry of War, was arguing all over his head.

However, with the scale of Zhushan and Zhuoguang, it is already the limit to accommodate a Xiatian Corps, and there is no way to send more troops.

Unless you give up the two lines of defense and go deep into the hinterland of Qingniu country to fight.

This is of course not in the plan.

Facts have proved that Guo Jia's strategy is correct. Choosing to stand firm and wait for the demon army to attack is the most suitable way to fight Daqian.

Anyway, the Yaozu are all dead-headed, the more serious the casualties, the more they are fighting against the enemy, they have no sense of fear at all, and they still continue to fight to the front line one after another.

Seeing Pei Xingyan being so flattering, Qian Yuan laughed, of course he knew what Pei Xingyan was up to, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that, I brought you the musketeers you wanted, and sent someone to Accept it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed, his eyes almost squeezed together.

The psychic cannon has already proved its great power on the battlefield. Another psychic weapon developed by the War Machine Research Institute, the psychic gun, has never been used.

It would be too wasteful if it was only allocated to the Lake Knights.

What's more, the psychic musket has been modified several times, and its power has greatly increased, especially after successfully engraving the formation on the surface of the bullet, the psychic musket has become a big killer.

The psychic musket equipped with explosive bullets can penetrate the defense of the martial artist level in one fell swoop and kill with one blow.

This kind of power is enough to make the psychic musket officially enter the stage of history, blooming with the same brilliance as the era of the earth musket, and complete a revolution in weapons.

Previously, limited to the production of explosive bullets, the psionic musket had been kept hidden.

Under the arrangement of the Ministry of War, they only mobilized reserve troops from various places to form a musketeer team of 3000 people, which has been staying in the barracks on the outskirts of Shendu for training.

This is the musketeer team that came with Qianyuan this time.

Although Pei Xingyan played well in the Zhushan battlefield, in the past two weeks, Qingniu Kingdom, after repeated setbacks, learned from the pain and gave up small-scale harassment.

Every subsequent attack was a large-scale attack by tens of thousands of people.

This put a lot of pressure on Pei Xingyan.

Every casualty of the Xiatian Corps can only be supplemented by troops stationed in various places in Dagan, which reduces the combat power of the Xiatian Corps in disguise.

The Ministry of War did this with painstaking efforts.

Everyone knows that the imperial court's attack on the Qingniu Kingdom this time will inevitably lead to casualties, and the one thousand casualties in the Battle of Zhushan City have clearly proved the strength of the demon army.

If Dagan wants to maintain his overall combat power, he must constantly replenish recruits.

Putting the troops into the front-line battlefield and weeding out and selecting qualified soldiers through war may sound cruel, but it is the most effective method.

As for the martial arts students of the martial arts academy, they are not useful for the time being.

Facing the crazy attack of the monster army, if there was no artillery cover, Pei Xingyan's troops would have been defeated long ago.

Even so, Pei Xingyan was walking on thin ice, so he turned his idea to the Musketeers, and played repeatedly, begging the Ministry of War to send the Musketeers to the Zhushan battlefield.

It is also a beautiful name, it is to accumulate actual combat experience for the Musketeers to test the quality of the Musketeers.

Only then did Qianyuan's trip to Zhushan come about.

Qian Yuan is also thinking of conducting field inspections on the front line to see how far the battle has gone and whether it is necessary to adjust the strategy.
