Chapter 519 Mulan: Husband!
Du Tiechuan, a cultivator at the Divine Transformation level, specialized in the art of war and was one of the two supreme generals of the country.
He has a gift - an iron wall.
This talent can allow the monk to greatly enhance his defense in a short period of time, just like a steel wall. Therefore, while using this talent, the monk cannot move and can only stand still.
Because of this serious drawback, the talent of Iron Wall has been rated as inferior from the beginning to the end.
His inferior talent seemed unworthy of a man like Du Tiechuan.
However, what makes one powerful is never talent, magic weapon or technique; the truly powerful is always the cultivator himself.
Any talent is just an opportunity.
How to seize this opportunity and tap into its intrinsic value has always been different for each individual.
As a result, Du Tiechuan firmly grasped this opportunity and dug out a huge treasure from it! He developed his talent and promoted it to a magical power.
Even after being promoted, the Iron Wall Supernatural Power is still mediocre compared to other supernatural powers, with few usage scenarios and low practical value.
But in Du Tiechuan's hands, he took the Iron Wall Divine Ability as the core and combined it with his main cultivation method to create a series of military tactics.
Among them, Iron Flow is the most powerful and the most famous! Once this skill is used, it can bless the soldiers, causing the weight and defense of the entire army to surge, and the strength and offensive power to be integrated, constantly increasing, and faster and faster. In the end, the extremely powerful momentum is used to exchange for an unparalleled attack.
Its power is as great as a tornado or hurricane, breaking through mountains and seas, sweeping across the world and unstoppable.
The army is like a steel torrent, crushing all enemies and expanding territory! Any obstacles that stand in the way of the army will be washed away and crushed into slag. Even if a strong individual monk wants to fight against it, he will have to face tens of thousands of steel beasts, a force that is impossible to resist.
This is Du Tiechuan's trump card, a killer weapon. If used properly, it can determine the outcome of a war.
After the vanguard army was trapped and the situation was unclear, Du Tiechuan dispatched four armies deep into the Thousand Peaks Forest and secretly sent powerful monks to escort them.
After finding out the enemy's strength, he spent a huge amount of money to quickly build a dragon shadow nine-pillar reviewing stand.
Each army was tested in turn so that Du Tiechuan could hone them and select the outstanding army that was suitable for implementing the Tieliu Pingchuan military strategy.
After the first round of military parades, many generals guessed Du Tiechuan's intention.
On the same day, Commander Du issued a clear military order, explaining the next plan - he would spend nine days conducting five rounds of military review. The troops that finally made it to the fifth round would serve as the main force, displaying the Iron Flow Flat River Military Strategy, and comprehensively attack the Thousand Peaks Forest.
For a moment, the whole army was in an excitement, and everyone was discussing this military strategy.
Past battle records have thoroughly proved the power of this military strategy.
It can be said that this is Du Tiechuan’s unique skill!
"You must join in! Every time the Iron Flow Pingchuan military strategy is used, it is a great victory, without exception."
"Being able to personally participate and experience the famous military strategy of Iron Flow and Flat River is a golden opportunity for military practitioners like us."
"We must join! Once the war starts, the main forces will be blessed with the Iron Flow Flat River Military Strategy and will be difficult to shake. The remaining border troops will be targeted by the enemy and become cannon fodder."
The soldiers were not stupid. After some discussion, they understood the situation.
More than a dozen armies in Mulun Town will be selected and eliminated in this test.
The troops selected will be blessed with military tactics, which will not only ensure their safety but also guarantee their military achievements.
The eliminated troops usually followed the main force, which put them in a very dangerous situation. The enemy was not stupid, so they would naturally avoid the strong and attack the weak links.
Especially the Qianfenglin side, which is just a local alliance. Although it has several standing armies, it does not have an old and iron army that has experienced wars and is supported by the national strength of a country.
The Qianfenglin coalition forces are not good at frontal offensive battles. When facing the main force of the Iron Flow Pingchuan military strategy, they would be a fool to fight against a rock with an egg.
Therefore, their reaction is almost certain - they will launch an all-out attack on other armies.
Only by quickly destroying this area can they regain some advantages, and then after the Iron Flow Pingchuan Military Strategy is over, they can find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the main forces of the two countries! "We must do our best to squeeze into the main force."
"We must not be eliminated. Once we are squeezed out, the situation will be very unfavorable to us when the war begins."
"There are two kinds of treatment, one is heavenly and the other is hellish."
After realizing this, many generals with connections began to take action on the night when Du Tiechuan officially issued the military order.
But all the PR ended in failure!
Du Tiechuan was well prepared. He was the only one who could make the selection result, and no one else was involved.
Some well-connected soldiers went straight to see Du Tiechuan, but even Princess Jiqiao was coldly rejected by Du Tiechuan!
"I discipline the army strictly, and you must all abide by military discipline."
"If I take the lead in violating the law, how can I lead the entire army?"
Du Tiechuan spoke righteously.
Once this attitude became known and public, his fame skyrocketed.
Two days later, the entire army held a second military parade.
This time, Ning Zhuo felt much less uncomfortable, not as bad as before. But the reactions of others were generally bad, and many soldiers in the three generals' camps gave up halfway and fainted on the spot.
According to the layout of the reviewing stand, soldiers with different levels of training will experience different levels of inspection and pressure.
Ning Zhuo is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and he is undergoing tests at the foundation-building level.
If the test was about his combat capability, realm, mana, etc., he would pass easily. The problem was that the focus of the inspection was on his own defense and the strength of his physical body.
This made him feel quite uncomfortable the first time he experienced it.
"But this time it's much better!"
"Many foundation-building monks also fainted."
"The reason why this situation changed is that I borrowed the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat."
The more Ning Zhuo used this shortcut to spiritual practice that Sun Lingtong accidentally developed, the more he liked it and the more he became addicted to it.
After this round, only more than 60% of the soldiers in the three camps were able to pass, and nearly 40% of the soldiers were eliminated.
"Our army was established not long ago, and the soldiers we recruited are of varying quality. It is actually reasonable that so many people were eliminated." Ning Zhuo comforted the three generals.
Guan Hong stroked his beard and said with some envy: "The performance of the Red Flower Camp is very good, and almost no personnel were eliminated."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "If this trend continues, a large number of them will be eliminated."
Sure enough, by the third round of military parades, a large number of people from the Red Flower Camp were eliminated, and more than half of the people from the Three Generals Camp did not complete the whole process. The scene was quite embarrassing.
Even the Barbarian Demon Camp is in a much better situation than theirs.
After this army was destroyed and rebuilt not long ago, it was sent out as a pawn to test the strength of Qianfenglin's troops, suffering considerable losses in the process.
However, the physical fitness of the barbarians and demon cultivators has an innate advantage over that of human cultivators.
The performance of the Three Generals' Battalion was almost at the bottom.
This made Generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang lose face, and they also felt a strong sense of crisis.
"What method can be used to increase the strength of the body as quickly as possible?"
"There have been three consecutive parades, and only the last two are left."
"The key is that the difficulty of each round of military parades increases too much. If this trend continues, I'm afraid that none of the dozen or so armies in Mulun Town will be qualified."
"Has Du Tiechuan always had such high demands in the past?"
The anxieties and problems of the three generals were also the subject of discussion among other soldiers.
There are people who know the inside story.
A secret forbidden technique was revealed from Du Tiechuan's deputy general - Iron Skin Flesh Armor Technique!
This magic is extremely painful to perform, and requires the monk to peel off all the fur on his body, exposing his muscles completely, and then put on armor.
Under this magic, armor and flesh will stick together and fuse together, becoming one whole.
The armor replaced the previous skin.
In this way, the monk's defense skyrocketed, and his physical quality improved greatly, which was a leap forward.
This kind of quick-success-driven surge naturally has many disadvantages.
For example, if it is maintained for a long time, it will corrode the monks. The degree of this corrosion will become more and more serious, and at first it will only affect the physical body, and then it will also affect the monks' mentality.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As for the magic skills, most of them, if practiced to a deep level, will distort the normal mind of the cultivator.
However, these drawbacks will only show results after a long time.
At present, the war is imminent. If you have this method, you can ensure that you can join the list of people blessed by Tieliu Pingchuan, then your survival rate on the battlefield will be very high.
If you survive on the battlefield, you will have many military achievements and may even rise to a high position.
With this calculation, even a fool would know what to choose.
The vast majority of soldiers chose to give it a try! For a time, the demand for full-body heavy armor skyrocketed throughout the army, and quickly climbed to an extremely exaggerated level.
Many generals found the quartermaster as soon as possible.
The quartermaster smiled and told everyone: All the military equipment allocated by the capital has been sent out. However, there is indeed a batch of heavy armor as a reserve to ensure the replacement of heavy armor soldiers in case of war damage.
The generals' eyes lit up, and they offered bribes one after another, expressing strong desire to buy.
The quartermaster quoted an astonishingly high price.
This scared off many people on the spot, and some outspoken generals even threw their hands up and cursed the quartermaster for being too cruel! The quartermaster was not scared and insisted on the price. He even said: "Commendants, the number of heavy armor is limited, first come first served. The less the number, the higher the price we offer."
Just one simple sentence immediately opened up the situation.
Many wealthy generals took the lead in offering to buy, forcing other generals to follow suit. Soon, quarrels broke out among the generals and fierce bidding occurred.
"What, there is a limit for each army?" A general wanted to take over the whole army, but was stopped by the quartermaster.
The quartermaster said calmly, "My Lords, please don't embarrass me."
"There are only so many of these full body armors. It's impossible to sell them to just one person or an army."
"Otherwise, it will be hard for me to explain to my superiors."
The quartermaster spread his hands to express his helplessness, and finally added: "Of course, you don't have to buy it."
The generals looked at each other.
Immediately, some people pinched their noses and looked bitter: "Buy, buy, buy!"
The number of heavy armor is limited, and the quota for each army is also limited, which is often not enough to match the total number of the army.
Even so, a lot of heavy armor was looted.
Because things are rare and valuable, the price of the remaining heavy armor continued to rise, and soon reached a level that was prohibitive.
Ning Zhuo was practicing in the fetal breathing spirit boat. When he learned the news, it was already too late.
Liu Er was so anxious that he was running around. He held his arm and hurried to see the quartermaster.
After learning the price, Ning Zhuo stared, what's the difference between this and robbing money? Liu Er's face turned pale.
"I bought it." Ning Zhuo thought about it and made a decision immediately.
He gritted his teeth, took out half of his assets, and bought four hundred sets of heavy armor on the spot.
As for light armor, there was some for sale, but the experienced deputy general had already made it clear that heavy armor was necessary to fully unleash the power of the forbidden technique and have a chance of passing the inspection.
This is not possible with the inferior half-heavy armor, let alone light armor.
The quartermaster was shocked and stared at Ning Zhuemeng.
The news of Ning Zhuo's lavish spending sparked a wave of heated discussion.
Liu Er was deeply moved, and his previous hatred had disappeared: "Military Advisor has given so much, I will remember it in my heart, I will remember it in my heart!"
Ning Zhuo: "It's a pity that we still can't equip the entire army."
The two returned to the Three Generals Camp and were about to enter the camp when Mulan fell from the sky.
She stared at Ning Zhuo: "Husband, I heard that you just bought 400 sets of heavy armor?"
Liu Er's expression suddenly changed.
The word "husband" really stimulated him.
He immediately looked at Ning Zhuo, his expression nervous, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
A little disgust arose in his heart again, but the emotion that was greater than disgust was fear!
At this moment, Liu Er was extremely worried that Ning Zhuo would go back on his word.
Ning Zhuo touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "General Mulan, there is no need to do this. If you want to buy a full set of heavy armor, I can also help you with some."
Mulan was not satisfied: "Even if I use up all my quota, the amount of heavy armor I buy is not enough to cover the entire army. So, my husband, I want some of the heavy armor in your hands."
"This..." Ning Zhuo was suddenly embarrassed.
Mulan shook his head, his attitude firm: "The Red Flower Battle Formation of my Red Flower Camp requires elite soldiers and generals to form and operate. A small number of people will have a huge impact on our army."
"Liu Er."
"Your three battalions are short of people, so you can definitely recruit more."
Mulan has also been worried about this issue recently.
She had come into contact with the information about forbidden techniques earlier than Ning Zhuo, but she had no funds to acquire it.
The financial resources Ning Zhuo showed this time really shocked her. She had never expected that this big-headed boy was so rich!
If she had known this, why would she be so anxious? For the sake of her own Red Flower Camp, Mulan was willing to risk it all and directly called Ning Zhuo "husband". This caused excitement and restlessness among the soldiers in the camp. They frequently looked at Mulan and Ning Zhuo and even communicated closely with their spiritual consciousness.
On one side was Mulan with a firm attitude, and on the other side was Liu Er who was looking eagerly.
Ning Zhuo was suddenly caught in a difficult situation of making a decision.
