I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 112 The Power of Formation Techniques Leads to a Bountiful Harvest in the Territory
Recently, after conducting further research on the power in the universe, Yang Jiamo has finally made some new discoveries.

That is high-intensity martial arts training, which can draw a small amount of that power into the body, soothe the body's injuries and fatigue, and strengthen the body imperceptibly.

Now, he is more than three times stronger than before.

He felt that he was now almost as good as the Yang family generals in the folk tales.

However, even though Yang Jiamo's physical fitness and strength had improved significantly, he still felt extreme danger when Wang Dahu led his troops in a surprise attack, and even felt a stiffness all over his body.

On a spiritual level that they could not perceive, what accompanied Wang Dahu's army's charge was an endless aura of iron-blooded ferocity, which shocked the Ming army's minds, and their morale and combat power were weakened by three points out of nowhere.

Furthermore, as Wang Dahu and his men charged forward, the iron-blooded aura grew stronger and stronger, as if fresh blood were flowing and one could almost smell the pungent stench of blood.

At this point, however, heightened perception becomes a major drawback.

Ordinary Ming soldiers, their minds captivated, perceived the militia on the other side as an unprecedentedly powerful force, exuding a chilling aura and overwhelming menace.

Yang Jiamo, on the other hand, has a keen sense of mental perception and can even faintly sense external energy.

However, at this moment, in addition to the energy of heaven and earth, the outside world was filled with even more iron-blooded murderous aura.

Even the energy of heaven and earth was suppressed by the iron-blooded evil energy, becoming somewhat dormant.

What Yang Jiamo was sensing at this moment was no longer the energy of heaven and earth, but the murderous aura of iron and blood.

There was no need to even see the militia; their overwhelming, iron-blooded aura was enough to strike at his very soul.

Therefore, he performed even worse than the ordinary soldiers, and his body was somewhat stiff.

After taking several deep breaths and suppressing his outward senses, he felt slightly better and was able to issue various orders to command the troops and resist the attack of Wang Dahu and his men.

"Kill Kill Kill"

Wang Dahu led hundreds of militiamen, like a group of demons and killing gods, their eyes bloodshot, charging back and forth in the Ming army camp.

Wherever they went, they were almost invincible. Limbs and severed arms flew everywhere, and blood soaked the clothes and armor of the soldiers, causing the Ming soldiers to suffer excruciating pain and fear.

However, it must be said that Yang Jiamo was very good at managing his troops. Even at this point, although many Ming soldiers were somewhat panicked, they still maintained their basic formation and continued to advance to surround and kill Wang Dahu and others.

Finally, Wang Dahu felt that everyone's true energy had plummeted to its lowest point and their bodies had reached their limits. Seeing that the Ming army was still calm despite their panic, he finally broke out of the Ming army camp and withdrew.

All that remained were corpses strewn across the ground and bewildered Ming soldiers.

In this battle, the Ming army lost two to three thousand men. Even though the Ming army numbered in the tens of thousands, this was still a considerable loss.

Only after Wang Dahu and the others withdrew and returned to Xiningwei did that extremely dense, bloodthirsty aura slowly dissipate.

Or rather, as Wang Dahu and the others left, they were then transferred to the dynasty's consciousness space using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a medium.

Only then did Yang Jiamo fully recover. While directing everyone to clean up the battlefield, he looked solemnly toward Xiningwei.

In the past, Yang Jiamo would just laugh off any rumors that the People's Salvation Army possessed supernatural powers, even though he was later able to enter the legendary Purple Mansion Spirit Platform and sense the energy of heaven and earth outside.

However, he still didn't take it seriously.

Perhaps some of the members of the People's Salvation Army did possess some supernatural abilities, but it was impossible for them all to have supernatural powers.

But at this moment, he was somewhat uncertain.

He had witnessed the attack by the militia just now, and they were truly extraordinary.

Especially the commander of the militia, who could easily cleave a person in two with a single slash. If it happened once or twice, that would be one thing, but if it happened every time, then even the legendary overlord of ancient times would be no match for him.

Moreover, the militia, when they charged and fought, seemed to be a unified whole, as if they could be mobilized at will by their commander without needing to issue orders. This was clearly not something an ordinary person could do.

Even the greatest generals of antiquity commanded their armies as if they were their own limbs.

But that still needs a commander.

The bandit general Wang Dahu, without giving any orders, had already spontaneously adjusted his entire team, maintaining the best fighting and charging posture, without anyone pulling back.

This, naturally, is the ability of array formation.

Moreover, it's not a level one supernatural power, but a level two late stage, almost reaching level three.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Wang Dahu naturally knew the power of the formation technique.

Therefore, during his daily training, as long as there is still true qi and iron-blooded evil qi remaining in his body, he will constantly activate his array-setting supernatural power.

While familiarizing himself with the formation techniques along with his generals, he also continuously improved their strength limits, which is why, in just a few months, he reached a level close to level three.

As for the other supernatural abilities, even the earliest ones like Great Strength and Divine Speed, they are only at the mid-stage of the second level.

This shows the effort he put into setting up arrays and using supernatural powers.

And the result did not disappoint him.

When the formation technique is activated, it can completely unite hundreds of soldiers into one, and even achieve a certain degree of telepathy.

Without Wang Dahu issuing any orders, everyone could vaguely understand his intentions and spontaneously make adjustments.

At the same time, all the true energy and fierce aura within everyone's body can be mobilized. In addition to being used for personal attacks, it can also enhance the attacks of others and even restore everyone's physical strength.

This is also the main reason for their brilliant victory this time.

They can all quickly restore their stamina, and their attack power is extremely strong, making them invincible.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone's true energy was exhausted and their bodies were nearing their limits at the very end, they could have fought one more time.

However, despite the remarkable results this time, Wang Dahu was still somewhat dissatisfied. If his array formation technique were stronger, it could cover more of the Salvation Army, or even all of them.

He might very well lead several thousand militiamen to completely defeat the Ming army.

Unfortunately, the current formation technique is only at level two, and its limit is only to command a few hundred soldiers.

Adding more would not only fail to increase combat power, but could also cause the soldiers covered by the array's magical power to become separated from other warriors, thus hindering each other and causing a significant drop in combat power.

Therefore, Wang Dahu's surprise attack only involved a few hundred men.

It wasn't that he didn't want to lead more people, but the situation didn't allow it.

However, despite being shocked by the strength of the old militia, Yang Jiamo had no intention of retreating.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity for him to serve the imperial court?
The strength of the militia, on the contrary, aroused his fighting spirit.

After Wang Dahu led his troops to retreat, he immediately began to reorganize the army and slowly brought out the cannons.

He refused to believe that the militia could actually withstand the continuous attacks from the army and artillery.

Meanwhile, the massive influx of iron-blooded aura and the successive appearances of the Salvation Army at the Divine Power Heavenly Palace military camp instantly attracted the attention of the dynasty.

With a slight thought, Wang Chao decomposed the iron-blooded aura into pure spiritual power and lingering consciousness containing powerful killing intent.

Those lingering thoughts containing powerful killing intent were the main reason why the dynasty withdrew its Iron-Blooded Killing Aura after the war.

Otherwise, even with the assistance of their divine status, they would gradually erode the soldiers' minds, making them warlike and bloodthirsty.

Therefore, after each war, the dynasty would reclaim it.

The outward manifestation of this is that after the battle ends, the fierce and menacing aura will slowly dissipate.

Most of the separated remnants of consciousness merged into the eerie, netherworld below, while a portion merged into the divine, celestial palace above.

Pure spiritual power, on the other hand, is eroded and transformed into spiritual energy, which then dissipates from the body, causing the spiritual energy to expand outward.

At the same time, the dynasty also followed its instincts and looked towards the direction of Xiningwei in the west.

Without needing to examine it closely, Wang Chao could roughly guess that the imperial court had already dispatched troops.

The leader of the army was probably Yang Jiamo, a descendant of the Yang family generals.

He was quite capable of leading an army. Although the dynasty had confidence in Wang Dahu, it was inevitable that it would have some other thoughts.

Without thinking, Wang Chao looked towards the city of Lanzhou in front of him.

On April 25th, soldiers finally broke through the encirclement of Lanzhou, which had been besieged for a long time.

Unfortunately, to the disappointment of the prefect of Lanzhou and Prince Su, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers fled not towards Shuntian Prefecture, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but towards Gansu in the west.

However, the Shaanxi Provincial Military Command and Gansu Town also have tens of thousands of troops, which should be able to relieve their siege of Lanzhou.

Without thinking, they all looked westward, hoping that the Gansu governor Mei Zhihuan and the newly appointed general Yang Jiamo could arrive as quickly as possible to provide support.

While the dynasty and its forces launched their offensive and fought a major battle with the Ming army of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Command, countless people within the territory of the Salvation Army were already immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

With the aid of the Nurturing Grain Divine Power and other supernatural powers, the crops in the fields of the four prefectures changed almost every day.

Just as Wang Chao and his group arrived in Jin County, the wheat in the four prefectures had already ripened, at least half a month to almost a month earlier than usual.

Moreover, each wheat grain is plump and full.

Almost simultaneously with the dynasty's attack, the people under the rule of the Salvation Army also began harvesting wheat.

By the time the dynasty's army besieged Lanzhou, the wheat harvest was already mostly complete.

After the spot check, everyone was extremely excited, as even the lowest quality fields could yield one and a half bushels of grain.

Although it was still far less than the production of five or six hundred catties, or even more than a thousand catties in later generations.

But in this era, it was an unprecedented bumper harvest, yielding more than the average medium-sized field.

In comparison, medium-grade and high-grade fields naturally have higher yields.

Medium-quality fields yielded more than two shi (a unit of dry measure), while superior-quality fields yielded more than three shi, approaching four shi.

This is already very close to the production levels of later generations.

In any dynasty in ancient times, such a situation would be considered an auspicious omen.

This caused a stir throughout the entire territory, with drums and gongs resounding everywhere in celebration of this year's bumper harvest. This solidified the people's loyalty to the militia and the dynasty.

Now, anyone who talks about saving the militia or the dynasty's inappropriateness will likely be immediately attacked by the crowd, or at the very least, be subjected to constant condemnation and criticism.

Many scholars and intellectuals fell silent upon witnessing this situation.

Even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to align their dynasty with the identity of the Heavenly Emperor.

How could an ordinary person do this?
Even if the dynasty wasn't ruled by a Heavenly Emperor, it must have been ruled by a sage.

Looking back at their territory, the dynasty could only see a dazzling bright yellow, with almost no trace of the gray and black atmosphere of public resentment.

Even the prisoners who had been sent to labor camps couldn't help but restrain themselves after receiving this news, and their resentment towards the rescue army and the dynasty was not so great.

Think about it carefully, if it were an ordinary rebel army, or even the imperial court, would these descendants of criminals whose homes were confiscated still have the opportunity to redeem themselves through labor?
He would probably have been beheaded and his head displayed long ago, or he would have been exiled to a harsh, desolate border region where he might die at any time.
