Chapter 1205: Untitled

In Bingzhou Yanmen, he, Zhang Liao, as a direct descendant of the Zhang family, did not have a bad background, and in the army, he also became a Colonel, which he achieved by his own ability.

From a Squad Leader all the way to a Colonel, although there was the Zhang family behind this, he was confident that even without the family, he could definitely become a Colonel.

It was just that the family accelerated his promotion speed a lot.

As a Colonel, he controls an army of three thousand, which is the elite of the Zhang family, including one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.

Over the years in the north, he has also fought many times against the grassland alien tribes and has been truly tempered.

However, in the short term, it is impossible for him to lead more troops.

But in the Taiping Cult, it is different. As a martial general with experience in leading troops, and also recommended by a senior, he is highly valued here, especially in the army. Although here, his strength in the army is not too strong, and there are twenty or thirty people stronger than him.

But in terms of experience in fighting, no one present can compare with him. Indeed, the Taiping Cult's army has also gone out to fight mountain bandits and outlaws several times, but what are those mountain bandits and outlaws? In Zhang Liao's eyes, they don't count for anything at all.

They are not even as powerful as those rangers gathered together in the north.

So in Zhang Liao's eyes, this Taiping Cult army is still very green. Those martial generals have good personal strength, but their experience in leading troops to fight is far too lacking.

This is not Zhang Liao's arrogance; the Taiping Cult does have the inheritance of the Military School, and he has also begun to learn it.

However, military books are just military books. Without experience, just learning from books is not enough. Only by experiencing that kind of slaughter on the battlefield and experiencing more can one truly be called a commander.

He walked up step by step from a Squad Leader, and his experience in leading troops is very sufficient.

So after joining the Taiping Cult, he was immediately promoted to be the commander of an army of ten thousand, and now the Taiping Cult's army is going to increase again. In the next five years, it will increase to at least five hundred thousand.

Once his cultivation reaches the Golden Core, he can become a general commanding one hundred thousand.

A commander of one hundred thousand troops is what his grandfather achieved. Zhang Liao naturally yearns for such a commander.

And he also imagines himself commanding one hundred thousand troops in the future to conquer the northern grasslands for the Taiping Cult. As a military family in the north, Zhang Liao has endless hatred for the grassland alien tribes.

After all, their Zhang family has had too many clansmen die at the hands of the grassland alien tribes, and both sides have an inseparable blood feud.

Unfortunately, there is no cavalry here. Of course, Zhang Liao also knows that the construction of cavalry is not so easy. The problem of warhorses is one of the main constraints on the construction of cavalry in the Central Plains.

The Taiping Cult, he knows, does not lack money and grain, but the source of warhorses is definitely not available.

Fortunately, their Zhang family has connections, and the Zhang family often goes out to the grasslands, whether it is trading or direct looting, the Zhang family does not lack cavalry.

The Zhang family only has fifty thousand cavalry, not because they cannot build more, but because the consumption of raising cavalry is too great.

The Zhang family raising fifty thousand cavalry is already a bit unbearable; any more, and they won't be able to hold on.

The thousand-year-old Zhang family is already a bit strained, let alone others.

Of course, the Taiping Cult does not have this problem; the Taiping Cult has money, which Zhang Liao is very sure of.

That ten million tons of steel every year is a terrifying number. In troubled times, the value of steel will skyrocket, just like grain.

As long as there is a channel to purchase warhorses, the Taiping Cult will soon form cavalry, and in this regard, their Zhang family can cooperate.

And he has already sent a letter back.

Not long after, the Zhang family will also bring a batch of three thousand warhorses to form a cavalry, and this cavalry will be led by him.

After all, those officers in the Taiping Cult have no experience in leading cavalry, and he has been leading one thousand cavalry for several years.

This is experience.

Coming to the Taiping Cult, Zhang Liao went from initial reluctance to current joy, completely integrated into it.

Although he is still not interested in those sciences, he is interested in the new artillery and muskets researched by Senior Brother Zhang Niujiao.

And whenever new artillery is developed, they will seize the time to discuss the tactics of this artillery together.

The tactics of artillery and muskets also affect the combat power of the Firearm Battalion.

And this thing, after all, appeared for the first time, and there is no relevant situation in the inheritance of military books, so these are completely explored by themselves.

In this regard, Zhang Liao is also quite interested.

After all, the power brought by artillery shocked him; it is comparable to the magic of cultivators, and compared to bows and bed crossbows, the range is even longer.

Zhang Liao has also seen many scenes of hundreds of cannons firing together, but every time, he feels excited. If thousands or even tens of thousands fired together, wouldn't it be mountain-collapsing and earth-shattering?

I am afraid that even a Golden Core Spirit Refining expert would be seriously injured under those ten thousand cannons.

Now he is like a fish in water in this valley and hasn't thought about anything else. Regarding the departure of that senior, Zhang Liao doesn't care at all; on the contrary, he is very grateful. If it weren't for that senior bringing him here, he wouldn't know that there was such a treasure land in Liu Han.

Su Fan naturally doesn't know Zhang Liao's thoughts. Leaving the valley where the Taiping Cult is located, Su Fan first went to the capital of Liu Han.

Divine Capital Luoyang, the largest city in Liu Han, a city with over ten million people.

Of course, compared to that Xianyang City of the past, it is still a bit worse. After all, the Xianyang City of the past was not only full of various immortal arrays, but in the end, Xianyang City even became a powerful magic treasure, a Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure refined by Great Qin for one hundred thousand years.

It was a supreme magic treasure refined by the successive royal families of the Ying clan with their own essence, energy, and spirit. In the Great War between Humans and Gods, Great Qin had two supreme treasures.

One was the Twelve Golden Men, and the other was naturally Xianyang City.

Obviously, the successive emperors of Great Qin were ambitious and began preparing ten hundred thousand years ago, and by the time of Ying Zheng, he officially refined that magic treasure.

The power was indeed extraordinary; in the Great War between Humans and Gods, it caused quite a bit of trouble for that Heavenly Emperor.

After the war, the Twelve Golden Men collapsed, and the magic treasure of Xianyang City was damaged quite a bit, though it did not completely shatter. However, this thing did not fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court.

No matter what, the power of this magic treasure is comparable to a top-grade Post-Heaven Spiritual Treasure. Apart from not being able to be used to entrust the Three Corpses, it is not much different from a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure in terms of power.

Such a magic treasure could only be refined by a peak dynasty like Great Qin; even the Yin Shang of the past did not refine it.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Ying Zheng sent this magic treasure away, sent it to Fire Cloud Cave, and it became a town-clan spiritual treasure of Fire Cloud Cave. ===== CHAPTER 1206 =====
