Unbeatable Tian Dao Yi

After the Elder Council, Qu Heng called Tian Dao Yi into the meeting room, and the following conversation took place.

Qu Heng: If the Tai Heng Army were handed over to you, could you wipe out all the rebel armies in Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Northern Plains?

Tian Dao Yi: What level of authority do I have?

Qu Heng: What is authority?

The Tian Dao Yi: This refers to the authority to dispose of disciples. After all, a country cannot function without laws, and an army cannot stand without integrity. If I do not even have the authority to formulate and enforce military laws, then there is no way I can manage an army well.

Qu Heng: Then I'll give you the authority. You can deal with whoever you want, as long as you can beat them!

Tian Dao Yi: Thank you, Sect Leader. How much support can you provide me?

Qu Heng: Isn't supporting you to be the Tai Heng Army enough?

Tian Dao Yi: I need resources to reward soldiers who fight bravely and complete their missions. These resources will not be used for myself, but for the soldiers.

Qu Heng: You can write an application if you need anything, and I will try my best to allocate it.

Tian Dao Yi: In that case, the rebel armies of Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Northern Plains can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist!

After leaving Taiheng Palace, Tian Dao Yi immediately went to the sect gate to begin fulfilling his responsibilities as the Great Commander of the Tai Heng Army.

He first spent 15 days regrouping the defeated army, increasing the number of remnants from 120 million to 260 million.

This is normal. These soldiers came from Taiheng. If they didn't die, they could only return to Taiheng.

Joining the Great Xia would be tantamount to abandoning city life and seeking refuge in the countryside. Even if these scions of the Aristocratic Clan were merely illegitimate sons or sons who were not considered important in their own Lineage, they would not do such a thing.

Then Tian Dao Yi carried out a major military downsizing.

The army consists of 250 million people, including men, women, young and old. Although cultivators can mobilize the entire population as soldiers, when it comes to a real battle, the best of the best must be selected.

No elderly people, no women, no minors, no only children.

After this screening, only eight million remained out of the 260 million.

Tian Dao Yi still felt it was too much, so he lured out all the Body Refinement Realm cultivators as well.

So the price dropped from eight million to three million!

Tian Dao Yi was finally satisfied.

He then held a large-scale military competition, selecting the winners to serve as officers in various departments to facilitate the transmission of messages and the execution of orders.

It is imperative to ensure that policies are implemented in unison and that there is unity of purpose between superiors and subordinates.

Those who were laid off were either sent home or reassigned as engineers or logistics soldiers. They received orders from Tian Dao Yi to build a massive training ground in the third heaven of the Taiheng Sect.

The second thing Tian Dao Yi did was to train his troops.

Military formations were invented by Qi Jiguang and are a product of the era of talisman formations.

"Rune Array+" means combining anything with a rune array to test the effect.

The combination of soldiers and rune arrays works very well, giving rise to military formations. These formations can not only gather the strength of all soldiers to overcome the strong with the weak, but also include swift formations to increase marching speed, concealment formations to hide one's presence, burst formations to increase the army's output for a certain period of time, and resilience formations to increase defense and energy recovery speed, etc.

The Eight Gates armies gave rise to countless military formations.

However, the Tai Heng Army did not take these military formations seriously. After all, what was there to learn from something invented by the rebel army?

Tian Dao Yi was a pragmatic person. Since military formations were so useful, why not learn them?

We shouldn't look down on this thing just because the inventor was of low social status.

During this time, the Eastern Victory Rebel Alliance also wrote him a letter.

Upon opening it, they found a letter challenging them to a duel.

The letter said: I have long heard that Tian Dao Yi is the Taiheng Sect, with great strength and invincibility among his peers. However, some people in Eastern Victory do not agree with this statement. We have already set up a challenge arena in a certain place and look forward to your arrival!

Tian Dao Yi shook his head and replied, "As the commander of the Tai Heng Army, it is my duty to lead troops into battle. How can I abandon my post to engage in some kind of martial arts contest? Let's forget about the contest; we can have a good fight on the battlefield!"

This letter completely stunned the Eastern Victory side.

They had studied this method for a long time and even held a special meeting to finalize it, but they didn't expect Tian Dao Yi to completely ignore it?

You should know that Ryougi Shiki's cultivation level is only the seventh level of Qi Refining, not even the eighth level. Ordinary people would never be wary of this person!

While Eastern Victory Sheng was preparing for war, they did not give up the opportunity to continue to compete in the arena. However, they wrote countless letters, but they all disappeared without a trace. They did not receive a reply until the Taiheng Army set off.

In the autumn of the 32nd year of the Great Xia Calendar, the Tai Heng Army, which had been resting for half a year, launched its Northern Expedition.

Given the suspected presence of a hydrogen bomb in Eastern Victory, the Great Xia army split into five routes, far apart, to ensure that even if a hydrogen bomb were to be launched, it would only hit one route.

In any case, cultivators are extremely fast, and unless a hydrogen bomb is attacked, they can provide support very quickly.

Five armies, each with 600,000 men.

After recruiting soldiers and horses during this period, the Eastern Victory side increased its military strength from 20 million to 25 million. Their situation was not suitable for uniting their forces, so they were divided into five parts, just like Tian Dao Yi, with each part having between six million and ten million soldiers.

This force, by any measure, completely overwhelms Taiheng's side.

However, the Tai Heng Army consists of 600,000 Qi Refining cultivators, making their military formations inherently powerful. Furthermore, Tian Dao Yi has improved the treatment of these soldiers, providing them with Spirit Stone daily and additional rewards for killing enemies and capturing cities.

Moreover, Tian Dao Yi goes deep into the grassroots.

He discovered that the Tai Heng Army was composed entirely of people from the less valued ninth-rank Ninth-Rank Noble Families of Taiheng.

This is normal. When Taiheng needs to conscript soldiers, it will definitely send out the less important branch families. Otherwise, what if the main family members die on the battlefield?

This gave Tian Dao Yi opportunity. He promised these disciples that as long as they made contributions on the battlefield, they could leave their Lineage and establish their own Lineage after returning home. From then on, they would not only no longer be oppressed by their Lineage, but could also enjoy the benefits of the sect.

This leap directly from the slave class to the citizen class was a significant move that directly resolved the issue of soldiers' morale.

At this point, the Tai Heng Army had no intention of giving up; on the contrary, everyone wanted to fight and dared to fight, in addition to being at the Qi Refining Stage.

On the other hand, the Eastern Victory side has cultivators ranging from Qi Refining Stage to the Body Refinement Realm cultivators, and the leadership is chaotic, with 42 leaders in the five armies, each disagreeing on their orders and demands.

They could maintain unity when facing 300 million soldiers, but when the enemy's forces dwindled to 3 million, they only thought about preserving their strength.

One side is powerful, and its soldiers are full of fighting spirit.

One region is characterized by uneven strength, inconsistent policies, and a lack of unity between superiors and subordinates.

The outcome of the war was predictable!

The Eastern Victory Army was almost completely routed!

Tian Dao Yi of employing a seemingly impressive but ultimately ineffective strategy of all-out attack, Tiandao Yi has a clear objective: to strike directly at the heart of the enemy's territory.

Although the five armies appeared to be scattered, they were actually a unified whole, maintaining a certain range to support each other. Their first target was the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

These Five Great Shinobi Villages not only have a large number of top-tier fighters, but also a significant number of mid- to high-level fighters. In addition, each of them is skilled in telepathic Divine Ability, making a tremendous contribution to Dong Shengjun's organization.

If the Five Great Shinobi Villages are destroyed, the Eastern Victory Army will not only fall apart, but its combat strength will also be affected, given the loss of a large number of Eastern Victory- to high-ranking officers!

They set out in mid-August, and by early September they had reached the gates of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. On September 3, the Tai Heng Army launched a siege.

That afternoon, the Five Great Shinobi Villages were declared destroyed. The ninjas, along with their families, tried to leave the villages, but were quickly overtaken by the Tai Heng Army.

A large number of ninjas were killed, and some ninja clans were wiped out. The weaker villages of Sunagakure and Kirigakure had only a handful of survivors, and the villages were almost completely destroyed!

The Five Great Shinobi Villages joined forces and also united with many smaller ninja villages to form a ninja nation, which barely had the strength to fight.

However, instead of pressing his advantage, Tian Dao Yi changed course halfway, first wiping out a small force, the Demon Slayer Corps, then attacking the Seireitei, besieging Academy City, and sending another army straight to the Marine Headquarters.

Now, the people of Eastern Victory finally felt the terror of the senior brother of Taiheng, and realized that this Tai Heng Army was completely different from the previous one, and could not be viewed with the same perspective.

The Navy Headquarters, no longer daring to be stubborn, moved to become neighbors with Four Emperors as their next target.
