Chapter 186 Chapter 184: The Same Occupation, Different True Qi
Under the city of Datong, the bombardment of the people's salvation army lasted for a whole stick of incense.
When the explosion stopped, the entire Qing army camp had turned into a sea of fire. Of the nearly 50,000 troops, only one in ten survived, and most of them were injured.
This battle can be said to have fully demonstrated the great advantages of modern weapons.
Of course, this was also because the Qing army had just encountered this kind of artillery bombardment and did not know how to deal with it to minimize casualties.
They only knew to run around blindly, and the final result was that most of them were killed.
"Charge!"
Following Yang Zonghan's life-long order, the three thousand people's salvation army began to charge quickly.
After activating the magical power of walking, the nearly ten-mile journey only took two or three minutes.
When everyone arrived at the battlefield, there were basically no living people standing.
Most of those who could run ran away, and those who couldn't run were lying on the ground groaning and waiting to die, and some were stunned by the explosion and had not yet reacted.
There was no need to fight. Yang Zonghan led his men forward, and ended the suffering of those who were standing or lying on the ground groaning in pain.
This time, Yang Zonghan did not lead his troops to pursue the Qing army again.
Now the Qing army was almost scared out of their wits and could hardly do anything.
Moreover, there were only a few thousand people left, so it was enough to send a team to pursue them.
After arriving at the foot of Datong City, Yang Zonghan sent a captain to lead a thousand people-saving troops to pursue the fleeing Qing army.
Only then did he come to the front of the city slowly and look up at the top of the city. There was a group of Ming troops there, shivering and watching him.
The scene that happened in front of them just now was too shocking.
They were still worrying about how to stop the Qing army from attacking the city, and even considered whether to escape.
However, the next moment, there were countless shells pouring down, deafening explosions, and flames that instantly submerged the Qing army camp under the city.
After an incense stick of time, the 50,000 Qing troops and the garrison camp under the city had been completely destroyed.
Just now, they saw that the number of Qing soldiers who escaped was definitely less than 5,000, and many of them were seriously injured. It was unknown how many of them would survive in the end.
Even though the two sides were hostile, they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the fate of the Qing army now.
If it were them, the result would probably be no different.
Just when they were thinking about whether to take advantage of the fire and chase out of the city, they saw a gray shadow rushing in at a high speed in the distance, even leaving a trail of afterimages.
When they arrived at the Qing army camp and stopped flying, everyone realized that those gray shadows were actually people wearing gray clothes.
"This is. The People's Rescue Army?!"
Looking at the people's rescue army under the city, constantly replenishing guns on the battlefield, Datong General Wang Pu muttered to himself.
He had naturally heard about the Salvation Army, which occupied Shaanxi Xingdusi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, successively conquered Turpan Yumen, Shazhou, Guazhou and other cities, forced Lin Danhan to flee north in a panic, and plundered Mongolian herdsmen.
But he never expected that the Salvation Army, which was far away in Shaanxi, would suddenly appear in Datong Prefecture and wipe out 50,000 elite Qing troops in one fell swoop.
Looking at Wang Pu, the general of Datong on the top of the city, Yang Zonghan turned his head and ordered a soldier beside him to shout.
"The Ming general on the city, either die or surrender"
At this time, Yang Zonghan had no good feelings for these Ming Dynasty officials and troops.
Facing the invading Qing army Tartars, there was not even one who dared to fight, and they only knew to defend the city and let the people under their rule suffer abuse and slaughter.
Therefore, Yang Zonghan was unwilling to say more to them, and the words he asked the soldiers to shout were also very impolite.
There were only two choices, either life or death.
Listening to the words of the generals of the Salvation Army below, Wang Pu could not help but fall silent.
What else can he say in this situation?
As for being loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Even if he defended the city to death, it would be a meaningless death.
In the original history, he was the first person to escape during the Songjin War between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
And at this time, he naturally could not die for the Ming Dynasty.
". Open the city gate, we surrender!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Pu said weakly.
"Huh~!"
"Good!"
After hearing Wang Pu's words, the deputy general and many soldiers around him all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the relieved look of everyone, Wang Pu suddenly felt relieved.
I am not afraid of death, I am thinking about the lives of the people and soldiers in the city.
Yang Zonghan naturally did not know what Wang Pu was thinking.
After he opened the city gate and surrendered, Yang Zonghan sent people to take over the city defense without saying a word and confiscated the weapons of Wang Pu and others.
Afterwards, Yang Zonghan summoned Wang Pu.
"Huh~? Not bad, your Qi is already very strong, and you can be considered above average in my army's new recruit camp."
After seeing him, Yang Zonghan couldn't help but look him up and down with a little surprise.
After the world is promoted, even an ordinary person can cultivate Qi if he has enough food. As the general of Yulin, Yang Zonghan naturally knows this.
And you have to know that the people of the Salvation Army now have no shortage of food and supplies. In addition, the energy concentration in the territory of the Salvation Army is five times that of the outside world, and the probability of tempering true qi is greatly increased.
Almost one in ten people can practice true qi.
Moreover, this was done unconsciously by everyone at the beginning.
When more and more people practice true qi and it spreads thoroughly, almost every adult can practice true qi with deliberate training.
However, although ordinary people can practice true qi.
But the strength of their true qi is completely different from the true qi obtained through the heaven and earth status.
In other words, they are two completely different levels of existence, almost like the difference between iron and cotton.
After all, the heaven and earth status is the power of the rules, and the true qi derived from its fusion of essence, spirit and spirit will naturally be contaminated with the power of the rules.
The true qi of ordinary people is just a simple derivative of essence and spirit, which is naturally incomparable to the true qi possessed by the Salvation Army.
Not to mention, the speed at which ordinary people's true qi is improved is far slower than that of the Salvation Army.
The improvement speed of ordinary people is one, so the improvement speed of the People's Salvation Army can at least reach five.
Nowadays, the strongest person in Yulin Prefecture can only do Qi circulation and chop off a wooden stake as thick as a wrist with one palm.
For most people, the true Qi can only exist in the Dantian, which plays a role in warming the body.
Therefore, Yang Zonghan never took the so-called folk masters to heart, and naturally did not take the extraordinary armies of other countries seriously.
The strongest among them is not as good as the People's Salvation Army that was randomly pulled out.
Even the recruits in the new recruit camp, because of the more complete training methods and high-intensity training, can surpass these strong people by a lot.
The strongest of the recruits can completely break the stone and split the stone, and the sword qi is crisscrossed. Two or three meters.
Therefore, Yang Zonghan said that Wang Pu reached the upper-middle level of the new recruit camp, which is already a high compliment.
After all, Wang Pu does not have the perfect training methods of the People's Salvation Army. He can reach the upper-middle level of the new recruits of the People's Salvation Army, which is also due to his identity.
Yang Zonghan looked at the top of Wang Pu's head.
After completely occupying Datong City, the spiritual power and the national destiny of the Salvation Army have already enveloped Datong City and its surroundings.
Naturally, Yang Zonghan's heavenly and earthly status can see through the changes in the relevant destiny.
A group of bright yellow national destiny, plus a piece of iron-blooded evil spirit, gathered strands of heaven and earth energy, making the concentration of heaven and earth energy around Wang Pu more than several times higher than the surrounding.
Moreover, when the true energy in Wang Pu's body flows, the bright yellow national destiny and iron-blooded evil spirit will actively attract the energy of heaven and earth to merge into his body.
This is the treatment of the new recruits in the Salvation Army's new recruit camp.
It's a pity that the national destiny and iron-blooded evil spirit above Wang Pu's head turned into pieces of bright yellow light spots and dark red light spots after his surrender, and quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.
Moreover, Wang Pu's training intensity should not be high.
Otherwise, after such a long time, he should have exceeded the new recruits of the Salvation Army by a lot.
This is not to belittle the new recruits of the Salvation Army.
Rather, the expansion of the Salvation Army has never stopped. As long as the new recruits are trained and qualified, they will be recruited into the regular army as soon as possible.
Therefore, the new recruits in the recruit camp are basically recruited every three to five months.
Before their true qi is accumulated to a strong level, they have already merged with the heavenly and earthly status to become regular soldiers.
After merging with the heavenly and earthly status, their true qi will be swallowed and absorbed by the heavenly and earthly status, and then fed back to strengthen their bodies.
When the heavenly and earthly status is further improved and reaches the level of a combat soldier, it will evolve and guide the magical power, condense the spirit with the power of the magical power, and evolve the true qi that merges the breath of the rule power, which is far superior to ordinary true qi.
If it was before, if you want to reach the level of a combat soldier, you can only accumulate military merit.
However, after the world is promoted and the energy concentration is greatly improved, if they can absorb enough heaven and earth energy and temper their body and soul to a certain degree, they can also be promoted to combat soldiers.
Moreover, whether it is accumulating military merits to reach the level of a combat soldier, or reaching the level of Qi training to promote the heavenly and territorial status to the level of a combat soldier, there is no difference.
As for whether the physical strength will be stronger after reaching the level of a combat soldier through self-cultivation.
Maybe it will be stronger, but it is also limited.
Because the physical tempering of the heavenly and territorial status by evolving the true qi is far superior to ordinary true qi.
The physical strength gap before being promoted to a combat soldier will soon be made up, or even completely eliminated.
Therefore, the best way for the people's salvation army to become stronger is to make merit.
Otherwise, when you become a combat soldier by yourself, others may have become elites or even the king of soldiers.
Even their own realm can reach the realm of supernatural powers, how can you compare?
Therefore, if you want to rely on your own efforts to improve your heavenly and territorial status from a regular soldier to a combat soldier, or even an elite or a king of soldiers, there is no future.
Of course, although the second stage of the heavenly and territorial status will only nurture powerful true qi.
However, this does not mean that before the heavenly and territorial status reaches the level of a combat soldier, it is not as good as ordinary people who have practiced true qi.
As the world advances and energy increases, the power that the heavenly and earthly status can exert is also constantly becoming stronger and stronger.
Even if it is only the heavenly and earthly status at the condensation stage, it can easily attract the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and burst out with power beyond ordinary true qi.
If we really want to compare, one is martial arts and the other is immortal magic, there is not much comparability at all.
Let's talk about Wang Pu. After hearing Yang Zonghan's words of praise, his face changed slightly.
What is considered middle-upper among the new recruits of the People's Salvation Army?
Are you saying that I am not even as good as the ordinary regular army of the People's Salvation Army?
He was not clear about the specific division of the People's Salvation Army.
But the difference between regular army and new recruits is known to the entire territory of the People's Salvation Army, and the news naturally spread with the merchants.
New recruits, they don't even have the qualifications to go to the battlefield.
Wang Pu was naturally uncomfortable when Yang Zonghan compared him with the new recruits.
However, the situation was stronger than the person at this time.
Therefore, his face only changed slightly, and then he returned to normal and put on a smile again.
"Yes, yes, the general is right"
