I, who plundered the heavens, had a hundred thousand dead men

…

While Jingguo was discussing how to deal with China's powerful firearms, Li Yang in the capital officially sounded the clarion call to declare war on Jingguo.

"Jingguo is ambitious and has repeatedly violated our border with North Korea. Recently, it has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in an attempt to invade Shuoguan, our country."

"But fortunately, our soldiers at the border guarded the border with all their might, and Shuoguan was not lost."

"I am announcing today that we will immediately send troops to Jingguo. We will surely regain the lost territory and defeat Jingguo!"

As Li Yang announced an edict to the world, Li Yang also began to mobilize new armies trained based on dead soldiers.

In the past six months, Li Yang has built new firearms manufacturing plants in many cities.

Therefore, within half a year, firearms manufacturing plants in various places have produced flintlock muskets, a large amount of gunpowder, and hundreds of artillery pieces to equip 300,000 soldiers and horses.

After these artillery pieces were manufactured, they were transported to several important border towns.

Therefore, when Jingguo attacked Shuoguan this time, it suffered such heavy losses.

Although the Celestial Empire currently has millions of troops in Li Yang based on dead soldiers, only 300,000 new troops have flintlock rifles.

But other infantrymen also already possess a certain degree of combat effectiveness.

Also, in the past six months, among the one million new troops that Li Yang expanded, many members who were not dead soldiers were promoted to different positions.

However, currently, the highest-ranking member of the army who is not a dead soldier is the deputy general.

According to Li Yang's differentiated military system, a new army with a strength of 10,000 people has a total of ten teams of 1,000 people.

Among them, the deputy general is one level higher than the commander of a thousand-man army. Not only can he single-handedly command a thousand-man army, but he also coordinates many affairs of the entire army. In the army, he only takes orders from the commander-in-chief.

Then the commander of the thousand-man team is the commander. Each thousand-man team is divided into ten battalions. Each battalion has a centurion, then the commander and the corps commander.

In this way, the military system is divided into layers, and Li Yang can firmly control the entire army from the bottom of the unit.

Because each battalion is divided into commanders and corps commanders, among which dead soldiers serve as commanders and corps commanders, accounting for two-thirds.

In other words, out of a total of ten commanders in a battalion, seven of them were dead soldiers.

Of the twenty corps commanders under a battalion, 13 to 14 of them were also dead soldiers.

The same is true for ten centurions in a team of a thousand men.

With such a differentiated proportion at each level, Li Yang did not have to worry about these troops secretly becoming the private soldiers of a certain commander or deputy general.

With Li Yang's order issued, it took less than a week.

Shuoguan, which had previously resisted the attack of Jingguo's 300,000 troops, ushered in 100,000 new troops, all equipped with firearms.

The commander of these 100,000 new troops is Qin Zhan, a level 2 dead soldier who was first entrusted with important tasks by Li Yang.

"General Qin, Jingguo's 300,000-strong army returned to Jingguo after losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. However, according to the intelligence obtained by spies in the past two days, Jingguo seems to be recruiting troops again. It seems that they want to attack Shuoguan.

Launch a second attack."

"Well! His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Jingguo has known for a long time that this time I will help His Majesty the Holy Emperor solve Jingguo, a serious problem in the north."

Outside Shuoguan in today's dynasty, it was originally the territory of the Liang Kingdom.

Of course, before the earliest period, the Qingyun Six Continents were occupied by the Liang Kingdom and belonged to the original territory of the Wu Dynasty.

The main reason why Jingguo chose Shuoguan to gather his army to go south was that this place was originally the Qingyun Six Continents of the Wu Dynasty.

They knew that if the Celestial Empire wanted to use force against their Jingguo one day, they would definitely choose to take back the Qingyun Six Continents.

Therefore, Jingguo is now gathering a large army outside Shuoguan, intending to attack Shuoguan, an important border town belonging to the Celestial Empire.

However, what they never expected was that there would be so many firearms in Shuoguan.

These artillery and firearms were equipped on the city walls. Before Jingguo's army even touched the city walls, they were stunned by the rounds of artillery fire.

On the other side, 50 miles away from Shuoguan, is the camp of the Jingguo border army.

Jingguo's spies also learned that a large number of Celestial reinforcements were stationed in Shuoguan.

"General, the reinforcements from Shuoguan of the Celestial Dynasty have arrived, and their size is no less than one hundred thousand troops."

"One hundred thousand tribesmen?"

"I didn't expect that the Chinese Empire would only send 100,000 troops to defend Shuoguan."

"If these 100,000 soldiers and horses are equipped with the same firearms as the previous defenders at Shuoguan, even if we gather 500,000 troops, it may be difficult to capture the strong city of Shuoguan."

"Hmph! Why do you have to rely on other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige? The main reason why our army retreated before was because we didn't know the specific power of China's firearms. Now that we know it, as long as we have prepared a way to deal with it, we can defeat a mere hundred thousand troops.

How can we resist the hundreds of thousands of elites from our country?"

As Qin Zhan led an army of 100,000 to station in Shuoguan, on the next day, Qin Zhan sent a cavalry group out of the city gate of Shuoguan and rushed towards the main camp of the Jingguo army.

In the Jingguo camp, when the cavalry sent by Qin Zhan was still 30 miles away from the Jingguo camp, Jingguo's spies quickly reported the news to the chief general of the Jingguo army.

"Report! General, a cavalry has come out from Shuoguan in China and is rushing towards our camp."

"Chinese cavalry? How many are there?"

"Looking at its size, it should only have a thousand people."

"Haha! A thousand cavalrymen actually dare to come to our Yingguo army camp to invite a fight. I want to see how capable this cavalry of the Chinese dynasty is."

"Come here, give me three thousand men, and I will go and destroy this arrogant Celestial Cavalry."

Soon, a 3,000-man elite cavalry force was also dispatched from the main camp of the Jingguo army. They marched out of the camp to the wilderness outside the camp, and faced off with the thousand-man cavalry force from the Celestial Empire.

"General, Jingguo has sent 3,000 cavalry, and it seems that they plan to devour us in one fell swoop."

"Hmph! If you eat us, you can only say that the commander-in-chief of Jingguo is too naive."

"However, since we have all come out, let's destroy Jingguo's cavalry first and use it as an appetizer for our northern expedition."

"Generals, listen to the order and line up in formation!"

Following the order from the leader of this cavalry, Level 2 Death Soldier Qin Hu, the Death Soldier Cavalry, all wrapped in black armor, quickly formed a charging formation.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Hu, the leader, immediately took the lead and rushed towards the Jingguo army on the opposite side of the wilderness.

These 1,000 dead soldiers are all level 2 dead soldiers. Not only are each dead soldier equipped with heavy armor, but the horses they ride on are also the best.

And the war horse is also covered in solid black armor.

At this moment, as Qin Hu, the leader of the dead soldiers, took the lead and charged towards the Jingguo cavalry army, the other dead soldiers and cavalry behind him also rushed towards the Jingguo cavalry camp like a black steel torrent.
