Heavy Cavalry
"You scared me to death! Cousin, we are old acquaintances of the Marquis, why did you have to offend him?"
After Qin Yan left, Lu Chi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some resentment.
Lu Xiao picked up the wine jug and drank it all in one gulp, then chuckled to himself, "Even Qin Yan, the youngest marquis, is thinking of rebelling."
The Great Li Dynasty deserved its demise.
All those past ambitions and patriotic fervor now seem utterly ridiculous.
"Cousin, just as the Marquis said, the Great Li Dynasty is doing things its own way."
We follow Lord Hou in order to find a way for our Lineage to survive.
Qin Yan is impeccable in terms of talent, strength, and methods.
The only thing lacking now is perhaps some foundational knowledge.
Lu Chi said, "But the chaos in the Great Li Dynasty will not be able to be quelled in less than ten or twenty years."
The crown prince usurped the throne, and eighteen princes rose in rebellion. In this great war, no one could remain unscathed.
Although my Lu Lineage has strength, we are not considered a top-tier Lineage.
Although Qin Yan's foundation was weak, his potential was so great that he broke all records since the establishment of the dynasty.
Go and see Qinghe Town today; it's changing rapidly and is thriving.
I believe he will become a wise and enlightened ruler!
Lu Xiao merely glanced at Lu Chi and said indifferently, "Your view is too one-sided."
Qin Yan is not as simple as he appears on the surface.
Don't be fooled by how friendly he is to his own people; once he deems someone an enemy, that's the end of the world.
He will use every means to make you disappear.
"Do you believe me? If I had refused just now, he would have killed me without hesitation."
"Impossible, right?"
Lu Chi couldn't help but hesitate.
"Heh heh, just watch, it won't be long before the Ironedge Camp changes hands. He's never been a kind soul."
Lu Xiao said in a low voice!
"Then why did you say that just now!"
Lu Chi was covered in cold sweat, looking like he was still shaken.
"You can't just kneel down as soon as you go up there, can you?"
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes. "I have my pride too."
"Uh!" Lu Chi was speechless. You care about your image, but don't scare me!
Now, three of the four major camps of Youshan Prefecture have been acquired, especially the Green Mountain Camp, which is definitely the most elite force among them!
Lu Xiao always trained the soldiers of the Green Mountain Camp with the strictest standards.
Therefore, its overall combat strength is also the strongest.
Two days later!
"My lord, the Ironedge Camp has been captured; those who dare to resist have been annihilated!"
Ba Wei returned to Qin Yan's side and respectfully reported.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Yan smiled upon hearing this.
Now, the entire military force of Youshan Prefecture is under his control, not to mention that the number of troops he commands is not limited to this.
The maximum number of soldiers that the Infinite Martial Arts School can secretly muster is probably around 8,000, and this group is extremely elite.
The best among them were mostly sent to the deepest base for secret training.
The number of people is approximately 800.
Among this group, even the weakest among them were at the Skin-Refining Realm. Wearing full armor, each of them could easily take on twenty or thirty people.
Moreover, there were 20,000 former Taiping Army miners in the mine, most of whom were elite troops.
With the addition of local militias and garrisons, Qin Yan could already be considered a regional warlord.
However, this is a time of chaos among the princes, a time for him to focus on developing his strength.
The arsenal is frantically producing all sorts of weapons.
He will then let the world know that the situation of the war has changed.
If all the men in his forces were replaced with firearms, they would be able to sweep away these feudal lords.
But now is not the time to reveal our true strength.
His current foundation is too weak, and he still needs to develop cautiously and stealthily.
Besides that, we still lack some high-end combat power.
There are only four people at most who Supreme Grandmaster: myself, Ba Wei, Chuan Ya, and Lunar Yin Corpse Puppet.
However, there is a complete gap in the number of the Grandmaster Realm and Xiantian Realm experts.
Especially the Grandmasters —there wasn't a single one.
Perhaps it will take Zong Xiaoshan another year or two before he can become Grandmaster.
If I dare to show my face now, I believe many feudal lords will not hesitate to turn around and kill me.
Now all three battalions have been transferred to Danxiang County to prevent that old rascal Prince Fu, from coming to their territory to plunder.
Qin Yan also received his elite troops.
Qi Zhen, the Vice Minister of Ministry of War, mediated and transferred his three thousand Red Shadow Army soldiers back to his side.
"General!"
Han Chen and the others bowed to Qin Yan!
Seeing the three thousand Red Shadow Army before him, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
After the rebellion was quelled, the Red Shadow Army has been recuperating, with all soldiers training day and night.
Although they didn't have the support of abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, their strength had still increased significantly, making them much stronger than before they parted ways.
The Red Shadow Army's reputation comes from fighting on the battlefield.
With this army, he wanted to see if Prince Fu would dare to come and cause trouble for him!
Similarly, the arrival of the Red Shadow Army gave the people of Youshan Prefecture a strong sense of reassurance.
"Here, a gift has been prepared for you!"
Qin Yan looked at everyone and immediately clapped his hands.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of them, driving a series of vehicles. Opening the doors revealed brand-new Red Shadow Army armor!
Qin Yan's design transformed the Red Shadow Army's light armor into heavy armor, making it appear more imposing and powerful.
Besides the soldiers, even the warhorses had matching armor!
Upon seeing these generals present, his eyes lit up; they were all veterans who had fought on the battlefield.
These armors were far superior to what they were wearing.
The Red Shadow Army has now transformed directly from light cavalry into heavy cavalry.
Now that they are all warriors, wearing these heavy armors will affect their agility to some extent, but will greatly enhance their defense.
Moreover, the Red Shadow Army's warhorses have been cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, greatly enhancing their carrying capacity and endurance.
This unit is already armed to the teeth; they'll be given an extra gun later.
This highly mobile and heavily armed Ministry of War will surely give the enemy a surprise on the future battlefield.
Heavy cavalrymen in red armor.
Building this Red Shadow Army took him a great deal of effort!
Several days later!
Outside Danxiang County!
Prince Fu arrived at the location with his army, having already received the news.
Qin Yan and his men have already stationed themselves here.
"Your Highness, the other side refuses to open the city gates and is telling us to go around them!"
Bang!
"How dare he! This entire world belongs to the Xia Imperial Clan. How dare he, a mere marquis, treat me with such disrespect?"
A chilling murderous aura appeared on Prince Fu's slightly overweight face, his eyes narrowed to slits, revealing a tyrannical glint!
Tell Qin Yan that if he does not open the city gates, I will personally attack and conquer this city.
"Then we'll slaughter every single person in the city!"
Prince Fu roared angrily!
Qin Yan and his group soon received a warning from the other party!
"What kind of bullshit prince is he? He'll massacre the entire city if we don't open the gates. Why won't we open them for him? Doesn't he have any self-awareness?"
The generals launched into a tirade of curses.
Since raising his army, Prince Fu has been extremely cruel. If he weren't surnamed Xia, his ashes would have been scattered long ago.
