On the eve of the great battle
Fifty thousand troops, twenty thousand less!
When Long Chen said this, the wine cup in Qin Lie's hand fell to the ground as he stared at Long Chen in shock.
"Long Chen, don't joke around. The Big Dry Empire has a total of three hundred thousand troops this time. My vanguard only has fifty thousand soldiers. If I were to lose another twenty thousand men, it would be impossible for me to return alive … …"
Although Qin Lie believed in Long Chen's battle formation, Long Chen's words were too shocking.
Three hundred thousand against thirty thousand, ten times the battle strength. Even if the battle formation was strong, how could they win?
Moreover, the battle today was not like the battle at the Hundred Mile Valley. The Big Dry Empire's soldiers and soldiers far surpassed the Black Dragon Empire. This battle was a battle with their backs to the river. If they were to reduce their own strength, it would be no different from suicide!
Seeing Long Chen's indifference, Qin Lie continued to explain, "Brother Long Chen may have seen it. The soldiers outside are all new recruits. Many of them are not even from the old empire … …"
"There are already people in the court who have guessed that the battle between the two empires has already been decided. This so-called vanguard and the next few battles are just to appease the anger of the Big Dry Empire. In the end, my father will personally go to the Big Dry Empire to ask for forgiveness."
When Qin Lie finished speaking, his expression was extremely ugly and ashen.
But he also knew that the battle between the Black Dragon Empire and the Big Dry Empire was no different from throwing an egg at a rock. If they wanted to reduce the losses of the Black Dragon Empire, this was the only way.
"If the Third Prince trusts me, you can leave the matters of the camp to me before the battle." Long Chen replied.
Qin Lie saw Long Chen's confident words and was actually a little shaken.
After thinking for a while, Qin Lie shouted, "Instead of using fifty thousand troops to protect my life, I will hand my life over to Brother Long Chen today!"
… …
The next morning, a piece of news spread throughout the camp.
The Third Prince Qin Lie ordered to reduce the number of soldiers by twenty thousand!
For a while, the entire army camp was filled with excitement as the twenty thousand people that had been reduced cried out in joy. Everyone knew that they were the vanguard this time, facing the Big Dry Empire's three hundred thousand army. Rather than calling it a charge, it was more like cannon fodder …..
The twenty thousand men quickly withdrew from Qin Lie's encampment. The remaining thirty thousand men had ashen faces.
When Long Chen and Qin Lie walked out of the barracks, many chiliarchs stood up.
"General, what are you doing? Why did you reduce the number of troops by twenty thousand? Do you think that thirty thousand of us should be sent to our deaths?"
"Against an army of three hundred thousand, only thirty thousand of us have to lead the charge. This is not fair!"
"I quit! This is simply courting death. Since there are going to be casualties, it doesn't make much of a difference to me … "
A series of shouts quickly spread throughout the army. The entire camp was in turmoil because of Long Chen's decision.
There was even a chiliarch who took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and rush out of the camp.
Whoosh!
At this time, in front of the camp, a cold light flashed in everyone's eyes as they felt their surroundings darken.
"Those who retreat without a fight and disobey military orders, behead!"
As the cold light dissipated, a blood sword soared into the sky. All the voices disappeared like the ebbing tide. Long Chen was standing in front of everyone at some point, and the chiliarch who had just stepped out of the tent was already beheaded.
At the same time, Qin Lie walked out in his battle armor with a serious expression.
Clang!
Under the gazes of everyone, Qin Lie stood beside Long Chen and unsheathed his sword!
"Five days later, I will lead you against an army of three hundred thousand from the Great Qian Empire …"
"Perhaps you all think that you will definitely die in this battle, and everyone has the thought of escaping if there is a chance!"
"Perhaps you all think that you will die, and I, the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, will live!"
Qin Lie's voice became louder with each sentence, and the last sentence was like rolling thunder, causing people's hearts to tremble. At the same time, he waved his sword and said, "If we lose this battle! Then you and I will sleep together in the Nine Underworlds! "
Qin Lie's words caused the entire army to calm down. They were all new soldiers and did not have many thoughts of fighting for the empire. Some people even chose to eat the imperial family's food to not starve to death on the streets.
However, they knew that the Third Prince's life was very valuable. If he wasn't afraid, then how could they, who were seven feet tall and soldiers, be afraid?
Seeing that the scene had returned to order, Qin Lie looked deeply at Long Chen and said, "In the next five days, Young Master Long Chen will conduct special training for you all. If there is any disobedience, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
Long Chen slowly walked forward with a faint smile on his face. Standing in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, he seemed to have returned to his previous life when he had established the Firmament God Kingdom.
Below the stage, there was a burst of discussion. Everyone's eyes were filled with contempt. These days, although Long Chen's name on the Heaven List made them admire him, could such a young man really lead them?
In the face of an army of three hundred thousand, he still proposed a ridiculous order to reduce the number of soldiers by twenty thousand …
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Long Chen's sword was still dripping blood. He knew that he had to train these thirty thousand people into iron-blooded soldiers within five days. A troop of iron-blooded soldiers who would only obey orders!
The moment Long Chen stood up, Qin Lie slowly walked out of the crowd's sight. Today, he had already handed his life over to Long Chen.
"Everyone, stand here until noon tomorrow. If you move an inch, you will be killed without mercy!"
After Qin Lie left, Long Chen's first order stunned everyone. But when they saw the dead centurion, they all felt a chill run down their spine. They could only stand where they were and did not dare to move an inch.
Just like that, they stood for an entire day.
Until noon the next day, Yan Li came to the barracks …
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Long Chen and Yan Li used spirit stones to inscribe an extremely huge array formation. The entire array formation contained a total of 30,000 soldiers!
"What are they doing? Are they going to practice a battle formation? But it's only a few days until the battle begins. What's the use of practicing this? "
"What is he trying to do? Although this Major General's strength is strong, is his method of training us to stand here and bask in the sun?"
…
Finally, the crowd could not help but whisper to each other.
Long Chen placed the Spirit Stones to carve the formation. After hearing the whispers of the crowd, he said indifferently, "Everyone, take a good breath of fresh air. In the next three days, I will let you experience a hellish life … When the time comes, I'm afraid you will remember this day for the rest of your lives."
Under the scorching sun, Long Chen's words made them feel a bone-chilling cold.
Unconsciously, they looked at the formation carvings on the ground. For some reason, they felt a faint sense of unease.
At this moment, the crowd also knew why they had to reduce the number of soldiers by twenty thousand. It was because even though the two of them worked together to carve and set up this formation, it still took them an entire day. The amount of Spirit Stones used was probably tens of thousands!
