Chapter 1163: Jiuyuan

And the legendary story of this child also began precisely from when he joined the army; it is a story even more legendary than that of him, the Yanmen Commandery Governor.

This child joined the army at thirteen, and because of his personal strength, he entered the military at the rank of Dui Shuai, commanding two hundred elite soldiers.

His first time on the battlefield was one year later, and in this very first battle, the unit of two hundred men he led slaughtered several times their number of enemy troops.

Furthermore, he himself slaughtered over a hundred Xiongnu of the Caoyuan on the battlefield, among whom three were Xiongnu Masters.

The various tribes of the Caoyuan are also extremely fierce, having grown up eating beef and mutton; especially the troops of those noble tribes, they are all trained, and their soldiers are strong and their horses sturdy.

After all, the various tribes on the Caoyuan have also experienced hundreds of thousands of years or even longer, so they naturally do not lack things like Militarystrategy.

Compared to Zhongyuan, the only difference is in their armor and equipment.

Of course, their true Militarystrategy Inheritance is still a few degrees inferior to Zhongyuan, especially in the categories of armor and Military Formation, where they are even more inferior.

These are all the closely guarded secrets of the Zhongyuan Military School, and even in Zhongyuan, they are extremely rare.

Let alone among these alien tribes.

At that time, he naturally participated as well; the million-strong army of the Caoyuan was not weak, and although a portion were slaves, each tribe also had its elites.

The overall quality of Zhongyuan military generals is quite a bit inferior to them.

In this battle, relying on his military merits, he suddenly became a Qu Zhang, commanding eight hundred elite soldiers.

In this battle, he slaughtered thirty thousand of the Xianbei army and captured six, and afterwards, he led thirty thousand troops to pursue the retreating enemy, beating the remaining hundred-plus thousand Xianbei army into a panicked rout.

In a mere three months, of the more than two hundred thousand Xianbei troops that entered Jiuyuan, only sixty thousand escaped; the rest were either slaughtered or captured.

Some can cross the basic threshold of Martial Dao and become experts of the Martial Dao Fleshly Body Realm, and above that are Masters and Grandmasters.

As for the Caoyuan tribes that were wiped out, that was also relying on elite iron cavalry, not by the weak overcoming the strong.

And Jiuyuan Jun faced an army of two hundred and fifty thousand.

And that person began to have successes in the military.

He was victorious in every battle, and at his peak, he slaughtered three thousand enemies and captured thirty thousand.

The troops of Jiuyuan Jun, although not as numerous as those of Yanmen Commandery, still had fifty thousand elites and over a hundred thousand local troops.

Secondly, this child's ten thousand troops charged into the hundred thousand Xianbei army, and relying on thirty thousand troops, he defeated the Xianbei's two hundred-plus thousand army, with only a few tens of thousands of Xianbei fleeing Jiuyuan Jun in a panic.

It is true that the Caoyuan engages in the Hundred-Year Grass-Cutting, and the border passes have had many battle achievements, but most of the time, they were actually won against armies of similar size.

A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster, placed among the millions of troops of the Border Army, is extremely rare, a figure seen perhaps once in a thousand years.

And his own losses were less than five thousand.

The Border Army values military merit most; as long as there is military merit, no one dares to easily conceal or seize your military merit.

Afterwards was also this child's most glorious moment; when this child was thirty-five, the various tribes of the Caoyuan united for the once-in-a-century southward Hundred-Year Grass-Cutting activity.

This suicidal behavior, however, allowed the former to successfully charge the formation, entering and exiting three times, during which he beheaded six Grandmasters and one Xianbei expert of the Refining Spirit Realm.

One must know that the Caoyuan's once-in-a-century Hundred-Year Grass-Cutting operation often lasts for several years or even longer.

Even for him, the victories he won in those years were actually mostly relying on one hundred thousand elites and two hundred thousand local troops to be able to repel the Caoyuan army.

Yet this time, the Hundred-Year Grass-Cutting also achieved this child's reputation.

The various tribes of the Caoyuan had a full eight million troops, attacking the ten provinces of the border.

Afterwards, he led his troops to reinforce other commanderies and counties, and in less than half a year, he repelled the million Xianbei attacking Bingzhou.

It is said that people from the Yuan Prince's Mansion also sent people over, and the intent was very clear: they wanted to take him for their own.

However, it is said that Lu Jia did not agree.

In five years, this child fought dozens of large and small major battles, and even went out of the Caoyuan and wiped out several tribes.

One must know that at that time, he was only fourteen years old; at this age, most children of noble clans who choose to join the army are merely tempering their Fleshly Body and exercising their physique at home.

However, although the Caoyuan did not obtain much of the profound Inheritance of the Military School, in terms of cultivation, especially the methods for basic body tempering, the various tribes of the Caoyuan are actually not inferior.

This child's name shook the entire ten border provinces in one battle; after all, for a Grandmaster to counter-slaughter a Refining Spirit Realm expert, such a thing only occurred during the founding of the Liu Han Dynasty.

And afterwards, he could not be stopped; in the following five years, he participated in no fewer than fifty large and small major battles against the Caoyuan.

Among them, those that charged the Bingzhou border numbered a million troops.

Such a battle record is truly rare in these past thousand years.

During the time of the Martial Emperor, he was even led by the Divine Might General to their lair, nearly digging up the sacred site of their Barbarian Race.

Jiuyuan Jun itself is slightly inferior to Yanmen Commandery.

Of course, most of these Caoyuan alien tribes who reach the level of Master or Grandmaster possess mostly savage strength, and compared to those Master and Grandmaster military generals of Zhongyuan, they rarely win in one-on-one combat.

After all, dispatching ten thousand elite iron cavalry to attack those tribes of under fifty thousand is in itself the strong bullying the weak.

The merit established in this way also made him a Colonel of an army; that year he was only nineteen, and he was already a Martial Dao Grandmaster, commanding ten thousand elites.

Therefore, when facing true Military School generals and the armies they command, they can often thrash the Caoyuan; this is why the Caoyuan has repeatedly suffered crushing defeats in recent years when fighting large-scale battles against Zhongyuan.

Although the Caoyuan is repelled most of the time, the ten-plus border provinces suffer no small losses each time; sometimes, many cities are even breached, and countless people and wealth are plundered by the Caoyuan.

This child controlled one of those ten thousand elites.

This million-strong Xianbei army also required Bingzhou to gather all its strength; in that battle, the Yanmen Army faced thirty thousand.

Lv Bu, this legendary figure, slaughtered three enemies of the same rank in his first battle.

Therefore, there are not a few people of low-level Martial Dao among the Caoyuan alien tribes, and especially these Caoyuan alien tribes, because of their bloodline, often become comparable to the elite battle-hardened veterans of Zhongyuan after just a few years of tempering.

However, this battle also completely spread this child's fame; this child used ten thousand elites, including eight hundred elite iron cavalry, to charge the Xianbei's hundred thousand army.

A tribe of fifty thousand can only be considered a small tribe on the Caoyuan.

Although the alien tribes on the Caoyuan all ride horses, in reality, those who can truly mount and form an army number only about thirty thousand out of a hundred thousand.

This is already considered exhausting the nation's resources for war.

In a tribe of fifty thousand, the true elites do not exceed five thousand; the rest who can ride horses are at most comparable to their local Zhongyuan troops.
