Tian Dao Yi's record left Qu Heng quite embarrassed.
I led 300 million men to a crushing defeat, while you led 3 million men to victory after victory?
Qu Heng didn't care about this at first, but he couldn't resist the various jokes and comments under the videos when he opened his phone.
Then, considering that although the Tian Dao Yi at the Qi Refining Tenth Level, breaking through to the Spiritual Law Realm is just a matter of a thought.
With his profound knowledge and experience, he might even be able to break through one or two more levels after reaching the Spiritual Law Realm, directly reaching the third level of the Spiritual Law Realm!
The Taiheng Sect does not have high requirements for the sect leader's cultivation level; exceeding the Spiritual Law Realm is sufficient.
This means that Tian Dao Yi has already threatened his position as sect leader!
Qu Heng barely managed to suppress this thought when he received news that the Eastern Victory Army had been defeated and the rebel army had broken up and disappeared in Eastern Victory.
The Eastern Victory Army may have broken up into smaller units, but its organization remained intact, meaning it could still make a comeback. However, Qu Heng was unaware of this.
His idea was that even if you can communicate by phone, if you break things up over a long period of time, people's attitudes toward certain things will definitely change.
Besides, I'm not going to die during this time; I'll definitely take control of Eastern Victory. Once the problematic people are arrested, how much trouble can the rest cause?
Therefore, Qu Heng quickly sent people to take over Eastern Victory.
Each city and state government needs to send people to manage it, and disciples need to be stationed in various mountains, rivers and lakes. Famous mountains and rivers should be allocated to large Lineage.
A land area of 19 million square kilometers can support billions of people, but more importantly, it can support hundreds of thousands of town City Lord, river gods, mountain gods, and land gods, which can directly strengthen thousands of Lineage!
This allocation was definitely prioritized for the Qu Family, even though the places allocated to the Qu Family were all remote, desolate, and uninhabited, the quantity was huge!
Secondly, Lineage Subordinate First Rank to the ninth rank, emphasizing a principle of equal distribution of benefits.
The ninth-rank Lineage were outraged. They argued that while they were the Ninth-Rank Noble Families who fought the war, they received the least spoils. Was this fair?
However, under the Nine-Rank System, their voices were meaningless.
Through this distribution of benefits, Qu Heng gained a clearer understanding of the immense advantages that his position as sect leader could bring to himself and his Lineage.
With my cultivation unable to break through to the next level, I absolutely cannot lose the position of sect leader!
Just then, news arrived from the front lines: Tian Dao Yi had clashed with the Northern Plains soldiers, and the battle was not going well.
Here comes the opportunity!
This is normal. Tian Dao Yi's success in attacking Eastern Victory was due to the fact that the enemy did not know him. However, his tactics were reported to Northern Plains Western Splendor by the Eastern Victory army, and the rebel army here would naturally adjust their tactics according to Tian Dao Yi's tactics.
The rebel armies that occupied the Northern Plains were none other than the Xiongnu, Turkic, Tatar, and Great Liao, Great Jin, Mongol, and Manchu Qing dynasties—all foreign ethnic groups at their peak.
They are not lacking in strength or wisdom, and moreover, they can consult Deep Blue when things get urgent.
Faced with Tian Dao Yi's elite forces, the Northern Plains cavalry also opted to streamline their troops, selecting the best of the best, choosing 1.4 million men from 18 million soldiers.
With 1.4 million against 3 million, the advantage lies with the other side.
However, the Northern Plains is an army mainly composed of cavalry. Their demonic horses, which are at the Qi Refining Stage, move like the wind. Combined with their military formations and archery skills, they completely crush infantry. They can fight one against two, one against three, and even one against ten when they are easy targets!
Tian Dao Yi wasn't stupid. When the attack failed, he immediately set up camp and then looked for a way to defeat the Northern Plains cavalry.
He discovered that the Northern Plains rebels had also served in the Ming Dynasty. So why didn't they continue fighting in the Ming Dynasty, but instead fled to Northern Plains?
Oh, so it turns out the Great Ming Kingdom had firearms but lacked horses!
The Great Ming Kingdom had a large population but a small number of horses, so these cavalry units were not a significant force in the Great Ming Kingdom.
With their small numbers, their leaders were easily killed by snipers, and over time, these mounted warriors became unwilling to live in the Great Ming Kingdom.
The Northern Plains are mainly grassland, and with wild horses everywhere, it's practically a paradise for cavalry.
"So, firearms can fight against cavalry?" Tian Dao Yi guessed.
Previously, Qu Heng had allowed his soldiers to buy their own guns, resulting in his soldiers not only not having a gun for every soldier, but also Eight Gates of gun models that were completely inconsistent.
When he won the battle in Eastern Victory, the opposing side did not pay much attention to firearms, and his entire army of Qi Refining cultivators overwhelmed him in terms of cultivation level.
But now, facing the elite cavalry of the Northern Plains, this lack of standardized firearms suddenly became a huge weakness.
Tian Dao Yi then assembled a force of identical firearms together and used small groups to harass the Northern Plains cavalry, testing the effectiveness of their attacks.
The experimental results confirmed that firearms were indeed very effective against cavalry, and the faster the rate of fire and the higher the frequency of firearms, the better they were against cavalry charges.
Therefore, a machine gun called Gatling gun caught Tian Dao Yi's eye.
He allocated funds to order 150,000 Gatling and selected an excellent ambush location, preparing for a decisive battle with the Northern Plains cavalry!
Just then, Qu Heng's order arrived.
You can't even take Northern Plains, what are you good for? You've lost your position Tai Heng Army, you can get out!
Tian Dao Yi was completely dumbfounded!
Changing commanders on the eve of battle is a major taboo, especially since Tian Dao Yi along. Even though their recent offensive has been unsuccessful, they have still been winning small victories one after another, and the other side has not gained any advantage at all!
There's absolutely no reason to change the coach!
Having learned about the distribution of profits in Eastern Victory Ninth-Rank Noble Families, and considering the defeats suffered by the family when Qu Heng was in charge, the scions of the high-ranking Aristocratic Clan from the first to the eighth rank had long been disgusted with them.
They highly regard Tian Dao Yi as a commoner commander!
But now, this commander is going to be replaced!
The Tian Dao Yi was Qu Heng's secretary: Qu Liang!
Qu Liang's cultivation level was even higher than Tian Dao Yi's, reaching the second level of the Spiritual Law Realm. Moreover, he had a dignified appearance and spoke with an authoritative and upright manner, giving him a certain air about him.
He stated that although he had made a Tian Dao Yi, it was not a serious offense. At most, he would be punished with several months of seclusion, but his life would not be in danger.
As for the war, Qu Liang will lead everyone to victory!
Although the soldiers were skeptical, seeing Qu Liang's confident demeanor, they had no choice but to believe him for the time being.
Regardless, cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm are still worthy of attention.
Tian Dao Yi also chose to trust Qu Liang and entrusted his entire plan to Qu Liang.
I've already ordered the weapons, found the ambush locations, and even told you how to lure the enemy in and how to allocate troops. The preparations are 99% complete; you only need to handle the final 1%. That should be fine, right?
As soon as Tian Dao Yi left, Qu Liang immediately reneged on the gun order.
Yes, you're absolutely right, but if we win the battle this way, who gets the credit?
Moreover, 150,000 Gatling guns—that's an enormous sum! Is there really that much money to distribute among the soldiers?
He pocketed it directly and then transferred it to the Lineage account.
As for how to fight this battle, Qu Liang believes that since we are cultivators of the Taiheng Sect, we should make use of the strengths of the Taiheng Sect cultivators.
What is the supreme Supreme Dao Arts passed down in Taiheng? It's the Great Destiny Technique!
Now that we have inherited the Great Destiny Technique, we should use it to fight our enemies!
Using 400,000 disciples who had mastered the Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps as weapons, and with three million people performing rituals together, they annihilated the fortune of the Northern Plains Righteous Army.
He never considered why he could come up with this idea, but Tian Dao Yi couldn't?
Couldn't Qu Heng have thought of this?
Why did they think of it but not use it?
Anyway, Qu Liang did it, and he did it exceptionally well.
The Great Destiny Technique was extremely domineering; in the blink of an eye, the Northern Plains Righteous Army's luck collapsed.
The collapse of destiny is an invisible and intangible thing, but it affects every soldier in the Northern Plains.
They might fall off a horse on flat ground, they might suddenly get a stitch in their side during a battle, and even a Body Refinement Tenth Layer might dislocate their arm while wielding a knife to kill someone!
Fighting the Northern Plains rebels after their fortunes collapsed was like playing against a robot. Qu Liang actually defeated Northern Plains's million-strong army with only 400,000 soldiers. The remaining soldiers either died or fled, and dared not fight against the Tai Heng Army again.
Qu Liang, feeling smug and self-satisfied, didn't even have time to report to the sect before excitedly leading his soldiers to the Western Splendor territory.
The rebels in Western Splendor territory were also a mess, called something like the Will of Milley, the Sword of England, and the Farah.
Its name is strange, but its combat power is not strange at all; on the contrary, it is exceptionally strong, and its use of firearms, tanks, and cannons is nothing short of an art.
The Tai Heng Army suffered a defeat as soon as they clashed with the Xihua Army.
However, it wasn't a big problem. Qu Liang used the same trick again, directly clashing the Great Destiny Technique, and Western Splendor's Qi Yun collapsed on the spot.
After that, all sorts of absurd things happened in Western Splendor: guns jamming, shells exploding, tanks breaking down, and so on. And it wasn't just one or two incidents, but eight or nine out of ten!
Tai Heng Army pressed its advantage, routing Xihua Army and chasing them all the way to the border before finally stopping.
From this point on, Taiheng had nominally eliminated all the rebel armies within its territory!
From the start of the war in March to its conclusion in September, the total time taken was less than six months!
Qu Liang was truly a military genius!
