Chapter 308: Qiandong City, the 3 Armies Return in Triumph
Two months later.
Qiandong City became noisy again.
First came Baili Chengfeng who returned in triumph. It took his 10,000 elite cavalry less than a month to capture the four major prefectures and counties along the coast!
Not only did he confiscate the silver in the city's armory, but he also brought the garrisons of various states and counties under his command.
To prevent any accidents, he exchanged the garrisons of the four states and counties, and at the same time sent 500 Pofeng troops for training and garrison to prevent any betrayal from happening.
After Baili Chengfeng came the deputy general Chen Dunru.
He led the new and old battalions, totaling 45,000 soldiers and horses, starting from Qiandong City and heading south.
He encountered the garrison commander Lu Tingen at the border of Yunzhou, and the two sides fought for more than a month.
Finally, Chen Dunru found an opportunity at the end of the first month. He cooperated with the old marquis to send troops from the northern border of Yunzhou, attacking from both sides and annihilating most of Lu Tingen's main force.
Lu Tingen's forces were declining, so he led the remaining troops across the Nu Mountain in Yunzhou and returned to the camp.
This battle can be considered a great victory, but it has not completely defeated Lutinen's main force.
He still had more than 90,000 cavalry and infantry under his command, and his capable generals also escaped unscathed.
Baili Luochen knew that it was better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers, but the opportunity to fight was gone, and he could only send troops to garrison one-fifth of Yunzhou's territory.
The rest of the people followed Chen Dunru back to Qiandong to rest.
Finally, there is Li Chongwei, the captain of the Xilin Xuanjia Army.
When he set out, he personally led 5,000 Xilin Black Armored Troops and 12,000 baggage trainees.
Heading north from Jingnan Road, they successively captured Kuizhou, Ding'an and Yangqu prefectures.
Li Chongwei's style of leading his troops was characterized by careful and steady progress. Although he was a master at spearheading the attack, he did not lead his troops into battle alone.
What's more, he has the strongest unit in the Pofeng Army - the Xilin Xuanjia Army!
This unit can be regarded as the trump card in Baili Luochen's hand. Although the number of people is small, only more than 5,000, he dares to use these 5,000 people to attack the enemy's 100,000 troops head-on.
The reason is simple. Firstly, they rely on the fact that every member of the Xuanjia Army is a brave and fearless soldier with extraordinary physical strength.
The second one is in this black iron armor.
The black armor is made of the finest pig iron that has been hammered and chiseled by the blacksmith thousands of times to remove impurities.
The armor craftsmen then use cold forging to shape the key parts of the armor, such as the armor plates, breastplate, elbow pads, etc.
After these processes, the armor becomes dark and indestructible!
The swords, spears, halberds, strong bows and crossbows on the battlefield could only leave a few shallow white marks against the iron armor, and could not do anything to this team!
Even so, it took Li Chongwei a full 45 days to cut off the head of Xie Jun'an, the commander-in-chief of Kuizhou, and to put the large banner embroidered with "Bai Li" (dao, fourth tone) on the city wall of Kuizhou.
The scene shifts to the West Camp. After more than two months, Wen Yanzhao now has nearly 2000 medicine men in his hands.
After all, this was his first time to refine medicine in large quantities, and there were many links that were not under control, which led to failures in the first few times and the waste of almost seven or eight hundred "embryos".
Fortunately, he adjusted the process in time and improved the techniques of the three processes of medicinal bath, fumigation, and soul control. At the same time, he raised a group of "blood slaves" to supply blood to the worms produced by the Yin-Yang Life and Death Grass.
Through the above adjustments, the success rate of the next few batches of medicine men was greatly increased.
I have to mention here Zhuo Luo, who was being eaten by thousands of insects in Wen Yanzhao's cauldron.
Zhuo Luo was initially refined into a medicine man by Wen Yanzhao. Since Zhuo Luo himself possessed the cultivation base of the Ninth Heaven Realm, his overall strength was further enhanced after being refined into a medicine man, almost comparable to the Great Free and Easy Realm.
Moreover, his body is immortal and incorruptible, and he is not afraid of swords and guns. He is strong enough to resist an army of a thousand people by himself!
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The reason why Wen Yanzhao used huge stones to cast a large tripod was to put into practice the medicine man skills combined with poison skills that he had researched during this period.
In short, it is to refine an embryo with a strong physical body into a medicine man first.
Then, he used many poisonous insects and snakes to soak the medicine man's body with poison day and night. Finally, he used the four extremely poisonous snakes passed down from the Wen family to turn the medicine man into a "poison man" with extremely poisonous all over his body!
In addition to its extraordinary power, which allows it to defeat a thousand enemies at once, this thing also has unparalleled poison skills. Anyone who gets within ten feet of it, unless they are a member of the Wen family and have such poison skills, will be poisoned and die instantly.
This thing is like a "nuclear weapon" when it comes to marching and fighting.
When encountering an impenetrable enemy formation, he was ordered to fly into the army alone, charge left and right, kill and poison. Even if there were 100,000 soldiers in front of him, they would not be able to hold out for long!
Someone must be asking, since Wen Yanzhao already has unparalleled poison skills, why does he go to so much trouble to create a "poison man"?
That’s the point…
No matter how powerful Wen Yanzhao is, he is just one person and cannot split himself into two to support various battlefields.
Although the medicine men are strong, they can easily get stuck in the enemy's formation and be restrained when facing a large-scale battle with more than 100,000 people.
But this poison man is much more practical, combining the advantages of both medicine man and poison, and is really a good prop for rebellion and siege!
Let’s not talk about it anymore.
There was a festive atmosphere in Qiandong City as the three armies returned victoriously one after another, which really made Baili Luochen happy for a long time.
In the current territory of Beili, in addition to the original four southwestern states, there are four more coastal states: Min, Yu, Shao, and Chao, as well as three northern states: Kuizhou, Ding'an, and Yangqu.
One fifth of the vast Beili is already in Baili Luochen's hands, and this is under the premise that Wen Yanzhao has not activated the medicine man.
