The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 The storm is coming

"Boom boom boom!"

In a remote valley among the mountains, rapid and loud drum beats suddenly rang out.

After a cup of tea, the originally deserted valley was now filled with burly soldiers with mysterious patterns all over their bodies.

They had ponytails and their eyes were full of indifference, as if they had no emotions, not only towards others, but also towards themselves, like puppets.

There are occasional strands of white hair mixed in with the black hair, so white and white that it is very dazzling.

This is one of the secret techniques bestowed by the Porcupine Clan on the Later Jin Dynasty. It exchanges lifespan for strength. The more lifespan consumed, the faster the strength improves. This is the price.

"Mr. Fan, how are the troops in front of us?"

Huang Taiji, who was surrounded by a group of military generals, waved the whip in his hand and asked with a sense of complacency.

In order to train the White Armor Soldiers, after the Battle of Jingbian Fort, Huang Taiji worked hard, staying in this harsh valley all day, eating coarse grains and drinking mountain spring water, and stayed there for two years.

Only by being able to endure loneliness, withstand temptation, and maintain prosperity can one achieve success. Huang Taiji has already embarked on this path.

"What an elite force!"

"Each of them is a fifth-grade martial artist, a congenital master who has opened up the eight extraordinary meridians. Add to that a set of heavy armor, and the situation is set!"

Sitting on a tall horse, wearing a melon-shaped hat and a fox fur cloak, Fan Wencheng looked at the eight thousand white-armored soldiers in front of him and sighed.

Fan Wencheng likes reading, is smart and calm, and is a student at Shenyang Zhongwei School.

Four years ago, Nurhaci captured Fushun. In order to save his life and for his future, Fan Wencheng surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty and became a traitor despised by everyone.

After the worlds merged, Fan Wencheng won the recognition of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji with his loyalty. His official position changed three times a day, and he is now considered to be in a high position of power in the Later Jin Dynasty.

After all, historical records show that Fan Wencheng made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty by making plans and leading expeditions to the east and the west, and his loyalty has been tested.

Wouldn't it be a pity not to use such a loyal servant?
"Lord Beile, it is rumored that everyone in Shen Yuanliang's Iron Guard is a fourth- or fifth-rank martial artist. They should not be underestimated!"

Shi Tingzhu, the former garrison commander of Guangning City and current guerrilla general of the Han Army Banner, cupped his hands and said with a worried look on his face.

Prior to this, the Later Jin army was at its peak and was approaching Guangning. In order to save his life, Shi Tingzhu had to lead his people in surrender. Unexpectedly, within a few days of surrender, the world changed dramatically.

Immediately afterwards, King Xu Da of Zhongshan led his troops to attack the Later Jin Dynasty, and Shi Tingzhu's brothers were killed and wounded in large numbers. Now he is deeply regretful, but he has no way out and can only go down this path.

"The Han Chinese often exaggerate, so don't take their words seriously!"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji frowned, suppressed his unhappiness, and spoke calmly.

Huang Taiji knew how much effort and resources he had spent to train the Sauron people into what they are today, and this was with the support of the Abyss Porcupine Clan.

What does Shen Yuanliang have?
If Shen Yuanliang could really train 3,000 iron guards of the fourth and fifth ranks of martial arts in just two years, wouldn't all of Huang Taiji's hard work over the past few years have been in vain?
The arrogant Huang Taiji could not accept this reality, nor was he willing to accept it.

"set off!"

Following Huang Taiji's order, eight thousand white-armored soldiers, with expressionless faces, galloped to the beat of drums through the mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground.

A murderous aura filled the air. The ferocious and strange beasts in the forests and mountains fled in panic, fearing that they might provoke those "two-legged beasts". They really couldn't afford to provoke them.

For a time, the situation outside the Great Wall changed drastically!
Haizhou City. "My Lord, Huang Taiji personally led the Plain Yellow Banner, the Han Army Banner, and the Mongolian Army Banner, commanding 300,000 troops, and headed straight for Haizhou City. It is less than three days away."

The skinny monkey, covered in dust and frost, came in hurriedly and reported everything in detail.

In order to gather intelligence, Shouhou personally took action. Relying on his natural ability of "super hearing", he was able to discover the Later Jin's military strength and marching routes.

"Drink some tea first to warm yourself up."

Picking up the teapot and pouring a cup of boiling hot tea for the skinny monkey, Shen Yuanliang pinched his chin, thinking about the next strategy: should he take the initiative or sit back and wait?
However, Shen Yuanliang always had a lingering feeling of uneasiness in his heart!

"Dongmei, how is the food preparation going?"

Perhaps he was overly suspicious, Shen Yuanliang turned to ask about the food and fodder situation.

"Master, one million shi of snow lotus rice and 800,000 shi of soybeans have been delivered to Haizhou City by sea, and are now being arranged to be stored in the warehouse."

"Other supplies, such as medicine, arrows, and armor, have already been prepared. With these supplies, the war can continue for a year without any problems. Don't worry!"

Looking through the account book in her hand, Dongmei said confidently.

The people of Qingdi City were united in their hatred of the enemy and recruited 500,000 laborers, but in the end 900,000 people came. With the convenience of sea transportation, all the supplies were in place in less than ten days.

"Shitou, how are the soldiers feeling? Do they dare to fight?"

There was no problem with food and fodder, so Shen Yuanliang asked about the 100,000 imperial troops.

After the great changes in heaven and earth, the 300,000 soldiers recruited by Shen Yuanliang were all from the original Ming Dynasty world. At that time, in the entire area outside the Great Wall, everyone was terrified when they heard the word "Jiannu".

Especially after the Battle of Sarhu, people's fear of the Later Jin Jiannu grew day by day. Often, dozens of Jiannu could drive away thousands of Ming troops and tens of thousands of civilians.

"My lord, except for a few people, most of the soldiers are fine."

"After a year of hard training and many battles, they are all elite soldiers. It's easy to capture the Jian Nu."

Shi Tou, who was wearing black armor and a helmet, patted his strong chest and spoke in a muffled voice with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Two years ago, the Bordered Blue Banner was annihilated in the Battle of Jingbian Fort. This year, they continued to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula in other worlds and captured hundreds of cities. Shi Tou's heart unconsciously floated.

We are all young people, it's inevitable!
"Recruit soldiers with psychological problems and have them maintain order in Haizhou City to avoid affecting morale."

"Skinny Monkey, hurry up and investigate the spies in Haizhou City. If there are any suspects, arrest them all and put them in jail. We can identify them after the war. We can't be careless about this matter."

His white fingers tapped on the rosewood table top again and again. Shen Yuanliang narrowed his eyes and gave instructions in a serious tone.

The Later Jin and Jiannu were good at using spies. They often bribed the people with money and took advantage of the war between the two sides to cooperate inside and outside and open the city gates. This is how Liaoyang and Shenyang fell. We have to be on guard.

"My lord, I will be careful."

Nodding, the skinny monkey said that he would take this matter to heart.

Haizhou City is located on the border and is a mixed crowd. There must be spies from the Later Jin Dynasty in it, there is no doubt about that.
