Chapter 37: Invincible, the heir of a military strategist (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
[Invincible] (Purple) - An epic achievement that can be achieved by killing a total of 1000 enemies.
Achievement reward: Dragon Blood Pill*100
"Hiss~ Epic achievement!"
Liu Ye didn't expect that he would achieve an epic achievement so quickly.
There is nothing to say, just take it directly. There is no such store after passing this village.
Checked the task progress: 1010/
9000 enemies need to be killed to achieve the goal, which is undoubtedly an astonishing number!
However, Liu Ye did not panic at all.
Normally, he might have thought carefully about it, lest he could not complete it for a long time, not only would he not get a reward, but it would also occupy his daily refresh share.
But the barbarian army of 100,000 will arrive at Yanmen Pass in the near future. At that time, you are not afraid that there will be no enemies to kill. I am afraid that you will not kill fast enough or not enough!
……
After a night of silence, after a night of tempering, the meat refining has successfully entered the stage of completion. Almost 80% of the muscles in the whole body have been transformed into golden muscles, and the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.
After taking a look at the attribute panel, he saw that his strength had exceeded the ten thousand kilogram mark and reached an astonishing kilogram.
This is a big increase, after all, strength becomes more difficult to improve later on.
Moreover, the meat refining stage can quickly improve physical strength. Subsequent training mainly focuses on other aspects, and the improvement in strength is minimal. It basically depends on the hard work of water grinding.
Liu Ye estimated that in terms of pure physical strength alone, he was now comparable to the seventh-level Qi Gathering Realm.
Of course, explosive power is not included here.
His whole body's energy and blood surged, and his strength doubled several times. This was incomparable.
Arriving at the military camp, Liu Ye found that the atmosphere here was a bit more serious than usual.
"Are you coming?"
Calculating the time, it was indeed time for the barbarian army to arrive.
Although it was one day earlier than the intelligence indicated, it is normal for grassland marching to have inaccurate time.
When Liu Ye met Zhang Liao, he was personally inspecting the defense status of various military camps on the city wall.
If a slight oversight is discovered, the person in charge will be scolded, or the person in charge will be fired and replaced by someone else.
As the saying goes, heavy rules should be used in wartime. At this time, it does not matter whether the procedures are formal or not. Everything is subject to the will of the supreme commander.
Liu Ye naturally knew nothing about this.
In his opinion, defending a city means that soldiers fight in rows, and when they are tired, they replace the next batch, and the cycle repeats.
In fact, the knowledge here is very deep, and it is not something that ordinary people can master.
It can only be said that Zhang Liao is worthy of being a good general in the future. Compared with combat effectiveness, Zhang Liao's most outstanding thing is his commanding ability.
Liu Ye stood aside and waited silently, taking this opportunity to check Zhang Liao's attributes with the Eye of Truth.
He wanted to know how strong Zhang Liao was during this period.
【Name】: Zhang Liao (Purple)
[Practice]: Martial Arts/Army
[Realm]: Gathering Qi (Perfection)/Military Formation (Small Success)
【Strength】: catties
[Battle Spirit]: 23 strands (one strand equals ten thousand strands)
[Techniques]: Sword Technique (One Tribulation True Meaning), Archery Technique (Dacheng), Spear Technique (Dacheng)
[Combat Power]: Extraordinary
"The purple template is in line with Zhang Liao's status in history."
Zhang Liao's attributes did not exceed Liu Ye's expectations. The only thing that surprised him was that Zhang Liao actually practiced military skills.
Nowadays, the mainstream method of literary and Taoist cultivation is Confucianism, and levels are also divided according to Confucian methods.
It's just that during the period of contention among a hundred schools of thought, each school had its own classification method.
The three lower realms of Wen Dao are pretty much the same, they are all stages of accumulating literary energy.
Only when they reach the middle three realms do they start to go their own way.
Among them, Confucianism pays attention to the three immortalities, which are to establish virtue, establish meritorious services and establish reputation.
It's just that virtue is too abstract, and Confucianism never advocates blindly cultivating virtue, so instead it is established in life.
Advocating self-improvement and self-reliance is a bit like the idea that my destiny is my own.
I have to say that Confucianism before the Western Han Dynasty was quite cute. Everything started to change after Dong Zhongshu deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism.
All kinds of tampering with the articles of saints and misinterpretations of saints' meanings are just a fool's errand.
There is no way, there is no one outside who can fight, so we can only fight within.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Back to the military.
The three middle realms of a military strategist are the art of war, that is, military formation, military potential, and military spirit.
However, regarding military training methods, Liu Ye had only read half of them in [Comprehensive Explanation of Literary and Taoist Training].
As for how to practice specifically, he didn't know anything.
But one thing Liu Ye is certain of is that Zhang Liao, who leads the soldiers in battle, is the perfect Zhang Liao.
Once the formation is opened, the combat effectiveness will definitely increase.
"You came."
The sound in his ear interrupted Liu Ye's contemplation. At some point, Zhang Liao had already walked up to him.
"My subordinates have met the Commander-in-Chief."
Liu Ye bowed his hands.
Here, you can’t call Brother Zhang.
"Forgive me, I was planning to find you."
Zhang Liao waved his hand.
"I wonder what your orders are, sir?"
Liu Ye looked confused.
"According to reports from the scouts ahead, the barbarian army of 100,000 is less than fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass."
"But the barbarian cavalry has arrived first, about three thousand cavalry."
Speaking of this, Zhang Liao looked at Liu Ye.
"What do you mean, sir...take the initiative?"
Although Liu Ye doesn't know much about the art of war, he has watched a lot of various war movies.
When encountering such a small force that is out of touch with the larger force, it is simply a fat sheep sent to the door.
According to normal people's thinking, they would never have thought that the Yanmen Pass guard would dare to take the initiative to lead troops out of the city when the army was pressing down.
"I do have this plan, but this move is a bit risky. I have the important responsibility of guarding Yanmen Pass and cannot move lightly.
I intend to leave this matter to you. "
Ever since he learned that Mr. Meng had sold the Black Dragon Halberd to Liu Ye, Zhang Liao understood that the young man in front of him was not as simple as he thought!
Others don't know Mr. Meng's identity, so how could he not know it as the young master of the Zhang family.
Apart from Liu Ye, the only man who could be praised by Mr. Meng as a peerless genius was that man who looked like a god and a devil.
Even if Liu Ye hasn't grown up yet, his true combat power must be terrifyingly strong, otherwise how could he deserve the name of Peerless!
This was also the fundamental reason why he chose Liu Ye instead of those thousand captains.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Liu Ye was also unambiguous and took the order directly, just in time to push the progress of [Invincible].
"Don't worry, take this."
Zhang Liao handed Liu Ye a disc that looked like gold but not gold, and looked like wood but not wood.
"This is a formation disk. If something cannot be done, crush it into pieces. It can increase the speed of the army by 50%.
But remember, the effect of the array can only last half a quarter of an hour. "
Good guy, he is worthy of being a descendant of a military strategist. This method is indeed mysterious.
"Thank you, sir."
Liu Ye solemnly took over the formation plate, cupped his fists and bowed before turning and leaving.
……
Kakaka~~
The huge city gate was slowly opened, Liu Ye raised the black dragon halberd, and then swung it down suddenly.
The dragonborn raised his front hooves and rushed out of the city gate first.
A thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind them, their movements were uniform, showing amazing military qualities.
These one thousand cavalry were only given to Liu Ye by Zhang Liao for temporary command, and they would have to be returned after the battle.
Only those 100 cavalry truly belong to Liu Ye.
With the help of ultra-long sight distance, Liu Ye discovered the enemy's traces ten miles away. The enemy was heading towards a village at this time.
However, as early as three days ago, Zhang Liao had ordered people to gather the population of villages and towns within a radius of thirty miles to Yanmen Pass.
The other party's attempt to search for food and fodder is doomed to be in vain.
With a raise of his right hand, the whole army stood up and waited for Liu Ye's order.
Liu Ye did not speak, but kept scanning the front until a burly barbarian holding a spear and wearing golden armor appeared in his field of vision.
There is no doubt that the person who can dress so showily must be the commander of this cavalry.
The Eye of Truth was activated, and the next second, the barbarian general's information appeared in front of his eyes.
