Chapter 989: Visitors from Outer Space
The body-strengthening technique had been practiced in the Dayun Dynasty for a century, and the Turks had naturally acquired the technique long ago.
However, very few Turks practiced physical training, mainly because the medicinal herbs for bathing were difficult to obtain.
When the Dayun Dynasty promoted the Body Tempering Technique, it promulgated a law that anyone who sold the medicinal materials for Body Tempering to foreign tribes would be sentenced to death.
With strict laws in place, even if some reckless merchants still resell medicinal herbs, the quantity will definitely not be too large.
As long as the opponent has few people practicing body training, Zhao Qinghe and his thousand men can each take on a hundred.
The Turks were able to easily overwhelm the border army and capture two cities. Firstly, there weren't many skilled warriors in the army, and secondly, Li Yudu was too incompetent. The border had been peaceful for many years, and the northwestern army had virtually no fighting power.
This time, Ba Dou was much more relaxed and at ease acting as a scout than when its soul was trapped in the body of an ordinary bird.
Although it can no longer use offensive power, it is elusive and can be seen by everything in the Turkic army.
Ba Dou then gave Zhao Qinghe a video broadcast detailing the whereabouts of the Turkic army's leader and the troop deployment in the city.
Then Zhao Qinghe led the body-training experts to launch a surprise attack on the city from the weakest point of the defense, heading straight for the leader of the army ahead.
Even if there were a few experts in the Turkic army, they were completely crushed in front of these elite soldiers who had undergone physical training, and in front of Zhao Qinghe who was using cheat codes.
With the vanguard leader killed, all the Turkic leaders, big and small, who wanted to organize a counterattack were targeted and eliminated by Zhao Qinghe and his elite troops under Ba Dou's guidance.
Without a leader to command them, the other Turkic soldiers were like headless flies.
Deputy General Zheng led the border army to mop up and clear out the defeated soldiers, while Zhao Qinghe led his thousand elite troops to rest and recuperate.
Afterwards, he left one-third of his troops to clean up and reorganize the city, and then led the army to the next city occupied by the Turks.
The commander-in-chief of the Turkic army was stationed in this city. Upon receiving the news, the Turkic commander-in-chief assembled all his troops and prepared for battle.
Zhao Qinghe led a thousand elite troops, none of whom were lost, to a battle. They arrived weary from their journey and saw the army that had occupied the city and was ready for battle. They were not flustered at all.
A female soldier in her early twenties with delicate features frowned and said to Zhao Qinghe, "General, the enemy is prepared. The last sneak attack method won't work."
Zhao Qinghe smiled confidently, "Amei, I'll go up alone later, kill the Turkic commander, open the city gate, and then you can lead the men to rush in."
Amei was the most skilled among the special soldiers she recruited. Zhao Qinghe also appreciated Amei's performance in the previous battle and decided to train her to be her deputy.
Upon hearing this, Amei was greatly alarmed. "General, no matter how skilled you are, you can't possibly defeat so many people. If they swarm you and you just stand there and let them hack at you, you'll be exhausted to death."
Zhao Qinghe laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I have a protective divine light, none of these people can hurt me."
After saying that, she turned to look at the soldiers behind her and said loudly, "In a moment, everyone will follow Captain Wang's command. Remember, military orders are absolute. No one may act without my order."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Yumei again and said seriously, "Did you remember my order just now?"
Wang Yumei felt uneasy, but she said firmly, "I've remembered."
"Military orders are as firm as mountains!" This was a phrase that General Zhao had repeatedly emphasized to them after they were selected as elite soldiers.
Then, everyone inside and outside the city saw Zhao Qinghe suddenly dismount and rush towards the city wall at a speed that left a trail of afterimages.
Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
No, you're all alone, not even taking a horse, just coming here to die?
No, this person's speed is inhuman.
Zhao Qinghe's thousand men stopped a few hundred meters away, just outside the range of the arrows. She covered that distance in just a few breaths.
When she reached the foot of the city wall, the Turkic soldiers snapped out of their shock and began to shoot arrows at her in a flurry.
With the protective shield cast by Ba Dou, Zhao Qinghe didn't need to worry about the arrows at all. Just like a roc, she spread her arms and used her feet to push against the wall, and rushed up the city wall as if walking on flat ground.
The large sword she held in her hand was personally forged for her by Xiao Han.
Its sharpness is so terrifying that virtually nothing can withstand it.
With a single swing of her sword, nothing in front of her could still stand upright.
Then, she flew directly over the heads of these Turkic soldiers and charged toward the Turkic marshal whom Ba Dou had pointed out.
The phrase "to take the enemy's head amidst ten thousand troops" became a concrete reality at this moment.
The arrows, swords, and spears of the Turkic soldiers all bounced off her.
He beheaded the Turkic marshal with a single stroke, then, holding the head in his left hand and wielding his broadsword in his right, he chased after the lieutenants, centurions, and other leaders of all ranks.
This magical scene of invulnerability, like a tiger among sheep, filled the Turkic soldiers with both shock and fear.
After killing more than ten people, Zhao Qinghe rushed to the city gate, chopped down the Turkic soldiers at the gate like cutting melons and vegetables, and then opened the city gate.
In fact, as a civil official who had never killed anyone, it was impossible for Zhao Qinghe to be so skilled at killing without any psychological barriers. But what could she do when she had the system and the divine bird as a cheat code?
Not only her, but also the thousand new recruits who, although skilled, had never killed anyone, all felt their souls and bodies separate after entering a state of war.
The people are killing in front, while their souls drift behind.
When the war ended and the souls of the people were reunited, everyone felt that the person who had killed so many people was no longer themselves.
Using psychological suggestion and mental influence on these mortals is, of course, a piece of cake for Xiao Han, this "deity".
Then came the crushing pursuit, eliminating all the leaders, big and small, while Vice General Zheng's army focused solely on surrounding and killing the fleeing routs.
Even after both cities were recaptured, Deputy General Zheng still could hardly believe what he had seen.
I never imagined that war could be fought like this.
Furthermore, why is this new female general invulnerable to swords and spears? With someone like her as a general, who can withstand her?
After resting with a thousand elite troops, Zhao Qinghe took some dry rations and went deep into the grasslands.
With Ba Dou there, they didn't have to travel an extra mile; they went straight to the royal court and killed all the Turkic noblemen.
Other Turks fled to more distant, harsh lands.
Zhao Qinghe submitted a memorial to the court, proposing to push the border line more than a thousand miles into the depths of the grasslands, register the identities of impoverished herders who did not want to flee, allocate grasslands, and turn them into citizens of the Dayun Dynasty.
A year later, Zhao Qinghe returned in triumph with a thousand elite troops, and Emperor Tai'an was busy discussing the matter of bestowing rewards upon him with Chief Minister Li.
Xiao Han was very happy to see Zhao Qinghe making steady progress according to her planned strategy.
She felt like she was writing a different kind of storybook.
Zhao Qinghe is the female protagonist in her novel.
Just as Xiao Han was focusing all her attention on the capital and on nurturing Zhao Qinghe, she never expected that her temple, built in a small mountain village, would be smashed with a huge hole by a man who fell from the sky.
P.S.: Guess who this man is?
