Chapter 643 Rebuking Taishi Ci

Originally, Shang Ji was still a little worried about the battle in the next half month. The strong Pingzhou army is strong, but the disadvantage of the lone army going deep and weak is too obvious. But with this artifact, the difficulty of this battle dropped several levels immediately. Among other things, at least the tension in military strength has been greatly alleviated.

The Xianbei people have their own character traits such as tenacity and tenacity. It is difficult for the captured army to change their families in a short period of time when they are fighting abroad. But with the Golden Condor, it's different. As soon as [Return without killing] comes out, with Shang Ji's current force of 98 and commander of 81, the rank is 11th. If the target of the surrender is fifth-level soldiers, then 13,425 people can be forcibly recruited at one time, and if it is applied to the Xianbei prisoners of war to enjoy the double effect, then it will be 26,850 people.

26,850 fifth-tier soldiers are produced every five days, which is more efficient than Pingzhou's full-scale training!

Of course, the premise of this speed is that there are a sufficient number of high-level prisoners of war. If not, there is no way to get a hair. At present, there are not even 10,000 fifth-level Xianbei soldiers captured by the Pingzhou Army.

In addition, in terms of generals, the more senior generals in the beacon fire, the more difficult it is to recruit them. Many generals with loyal characters would rather die than surrender. This is especially true for historical military generals. For example, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Shang Ji captured seven or eight historical generals of the Yellow Turban Army in one breath, but none of them were willing to surrender. In desperation, he could only kill him in exchange for inheritance.

With the skill [Hawk Dog for Me], as long as one's own forces are strong enough in the future, more high-level generals can be forcibly surrendered.

Generally speaking, holding a golden condor means that the strong will become stronger and the weak will become weaker, and it is easy to form a snowball trend.

With the golden condor, Shang Ji couldn't wait to try the effect.

Half an hour later, the Pingzhou Army had ten more Xianbei generals, and there were nearly 40,000 Xianbei servants at the same time!

There are only more than 8,000 people in the fifth rank and above in the servant army. Most of the soldiers recruited by Shang Ji are fourth rank soldiers, and there are also a large number of third rank soldiers who are joining forces.

As for the Templar Legion, which Shang Ji was so greedy for, there was not a single prisoner.

With a flick of a pen, according to the ultra-high standards of third-tier three gold, fourth-tier hardware, and fifth-tier ten gold, each person was awarded the "Return to Righteousness Award", relying on the simple and crude method of throwing money to improve the ranks of this servant army. Shang Ji turned around and sent this army and ten Xianbei generals who returned to justice to Liu Yi to help the army clean up the Dragon City.

Among the ten Xianbei military generals, the former deputy commander of the Guardian Army, Qiqin, had the highest status. To be able to escape by chance in such a high-intensity battle is either due to strong strength or cunning.

Shang Ji glanced at it, and found that Qiqin only had super-first-class initial strength, and it should be because of the latter that he survived.

Although he looked down on Qiqin's strength, Shang Ji was very happy to capture him. The Pingzhou army was basically blind to Longcheng. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Skitarii, he can be regarded as a high-level executive in Dragon City. He must know a lot of secrets, and he will definitely be of great help in the next "cleaning" work!

After explaining to Liu Yi, Shang Ji returned to the city lord. After taking a short rest, feeling that the time was almost up, Shang Ji got up and went to another side hall in the City Lord's Mansion.

Here, more than 200 Lieyang knights were sleeping soundly, and the loud snoring almost overturned the hall. The guard at the gate of the hall is the captain who reported the news earlier. Seeing Shang Ji coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"How are the soldiers?"

"My lord, I am still sleeping soundly, and there is no sign of waking up."

Shang Ji frowned slightly, looked at the soldiers who were snoring like thunder in the hall, and asked in a deep voice, "How long has it been since the first group of soldiers who fell into a coma?"

"The final estimate has been two hours." The captain looked carefully at Shang Ji and said in a low voice.

"wait……"

"Be careful, beware of fraud!"

Before Shang Ji finished speaking, he suddenly saw a Lieyang knight soldier standing up straight like a corpse, still shouting loudly!

This height is like a signal,

Fifty Sun Knight soldiers were either confused or nervous, and woke up one after another.

After a while, another fifty soldiers also came to their senses. Immediately afterwards, Tai Shici's exclusive guards also woke up one after another, and Tai Shici was the only one left in the entire hall who was still sound asleep!

The Lieyang Riders who woke up probably also knew that they were plotted against by someone. Seeing Shang Ji here, they were even more ashamed in their hearts. They all bowed their heads and stood silently behind Shang Ji.

The current situation is that Shang Ji plus two hundred Lieyang cavalry plus one hundred soldiers responsible for guarding the hall silently watched Tai Shici sleep soundly.

About half an hour later, the snoring stopped suddenly, and Tai Shici rolled over like a carp, jumped up with a thud, still shouting: "Sorceress, don't be presumptuous!"

"Enough, don't you feel ashamed?!" Shang Ji snorted coldly and shouted.

"Forehead??"

Tai Shici was taken aback, then turned his head to look behind him, only then did he find Shang Ji and more than 300 soldiers.

"Stand back, I want to have a private chat with General Taishi!"

When all the soldiers heard the words, they immediately fled out of the hall as if they had received an amnesty. Before leaving, he also kindly helped close the door of the main hall.

Here one is the immediate superior, and the other is the supreme leader. No one would be reluctant to stay and watch how the leader reprimands the superior!

"Ziyi, do you know your mistake?"

"The last general is not as good as that witch, and has lost the prestige of our army. Please punish me, my lord!"

Tai Shici quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Are you wrong here?!!" Shang Ji's face darkened suddenly, and he roared in a low voice.

"Uh!"

Tai Shici was astonished, he didn't understand why Shang Ji suddenly became angry.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Even if you are outstanding in martial arts, a mountain is higher than a mountain. There is always someone stronger than you. I don't blame you for your defeat, but why did you lose? And why did you lose so inexplicably? !"

"Haoyue's strength is unfathomable, and her methods are unimaginable, but you are also a top general, why are you defeated without any power to fight back?"

"The last... the last general..."

Tai Shici opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but finally he let out a long sigh, bowed his head and said: "The last general underestimated the enemy's carelessness, that's why this catastrophe happened, please punish me, my lord!"

Taking a step forward to support Tai Shici, Shang Ji said slowly: "Ziyi, you are the first top general to follow me. You have made countless achievements in bloody battles along the way. But I hope you can go further with me! This time Haoyue There is no hostility towards us, you can escape by luck, is there a next time for this kind of chance? I hope to ride horses and carnival with Ziyi to hunt tigers and wild geese after the world is peaceful, instead of going to the Pavilion of Heroes or the Pavilion of Martial Gods Look at you! Can you understand?!!"

"My lord, you have made a mistake!"

"Hey, I'm not the one who made things difficult for Ziyi. Ziyi must know the history told by other people, right? I wonder if Ziyi has asked about your own history?"

Tai Shici stopped talking immediately. Any curious general in history would never give up the opportunity to learn about his own history, and Tai Shici was no exception.

According to the records in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tai Shici underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, was ambushed by Zhang Liao, shot several arrows in his body, and died after returning to the barracks.

No matter from the perspective of personal relationship or Pingzhou's interests, Shang Ji did not want Tai Shici to end up in such an end.

"Ziyi is brave if he is brave, but I hope that Ziyi has both wisdom and courage. You must know that as the commander of an army, you are also responsible for the life and death of the entire army. I hope that Ziyi will think more about things in the future, and don't let this happen again. thing!"

"My lord..."

"Okay, I won't say anything else. Ziyi doesn't need to attend tonight's meeting. Think about it, and think about how to go in the future!"

"Follow the command of the lord!"

Although he was a little depressed, Tai Shici still obediently took orders.

As soon as he left the gate of the main hall, he saw the necromancer Payne hovering at the gate of the main hall. In order not to embarrass his own general, Lie Yangqi, who was guarding the gate of the palace, resolutely forbade Payne to enter.

"My lord!" Payne was overjoyed when he saw Shang Ji coming out, and greeted him from a distance.

"What's the matter, is there any accident in forming the undead army?" Seeing Payne here, Shang Ji was also a little surprised. He was just authorized to form an army of undead, shouldn't he be too busy right now?

"My lord, I have something important to report!"

"Let's go, let's go to other places to talk. You take good care of General Ziyi, and report in time if there is any situation!" The second half of the sentence is said to Lieyangqi who is guarding the hall.

"Follow the Lord's order!"

Coming to another room, Shang Ji asked: "Seeing that you are so happy, is there any happy event?"

"Hey, Master Huiyan, there is indeed a happy event!" Payne's face was filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed, and his old face was full of wrinkles.

"Look, my lord!"

After finishing speaking, Payne waved his hand, and more than a dozen dark warriors exuding a dark aura immediately appeared in the room. I'm not surprised by this deal. The Ring of the Undead Tyrant in Payne's hand can carry undead warriors. Released when needed, but the maximum load limit is twenty.

What Shang Ji didn't understand was what did Payne do with more than a dozen dark warriors? Shang Ji took a general look, and the strength of these dark warriors is generally around the second-rate generals, and there is nothing surprising about them.

Seeing that Shang Ji still had a puzzled smile on his face, Payne rubbed his hands and explained: "My lord, Rong Zhi, these dozen or so dark warriors were all transformed from the dead soldiers of the Templar Legion!"

"Eh? Soldier? Are you sure it's not a general who died in battle?"

Shang Ji grasped the point at once, and asked with some surprise.

"My lord, who dare not expire, is indeed transformed from soldiers!" Payne said triumphantly.

In the system of the undead army, the dark warrior is already a very advanced existence. More importantly, dark warriors generally have simple wisdom that can help necromancers command armies.

Under normal circumstances, dark warriors can only be transformed by generals who died in battle. It is not impossible to transform ordinary soldiers into dark warriors, but it needs to consume a lot of resources, and the gains outweigh the losses. No stupid necromancer would do this.
