Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"He just wanted to play it safe."

Qin Ming could understand Cao Chuan's thoughts. Changsun Huo had too many troops. If they forced a fight with the enemy, it would only cause more damage.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"My men have already gone there. Once they're there, just let them use the original organization and spread it across the entire battlefield."

Heifu is very confident in his troops.

"How many people did you count?"

Qin Ming smiled helplessly, he knew the strength of Heifu's troops.

This batch of new troops was originally built under his instructions. He has some understanding of the training standards and the combat level that needs to be achieved.

However, after coming out of the capital recently, Qin Ming did not ask much about their situation.

He has always been trained under Heifu.

The amount of money allocated to them by the imperial treasury was almost catching up with that of the troops of the Four-Character Camp.

In order to understand the strength of this group of troops, Qin Ming gave them a special order before Heifu arrived.

Let the Heifu troops bring enough dry food, and the weapons and equipment will be distributed here and they can come here on their own.

This is a test for Heifu's new type of troops.

After he agreed to the new-style troops' request, he arranged for the troops to be dispatched.

These people mixed into various caravans, crossed mountains and rivers and came on their own, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

As they advanced along the way, the troops were so scattered and fragmented that they were not even noticed by the enemy.

And now, Heifu, who has arrived in front of Qin Ming, is finally about to give his answer.

"The number of people counted so far is already 15,000."

"Oh? You sent out their entire army?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised. The material quota he gave was only 8,000.

Heifu almost doubled the request, and all the elite troops of the new type, who totaled less than 20,000, came.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded:

"I increased their strength and saved some military rations."

"Special forces naturally need special training methods."

As he spoke, Hei Fu waved outside the tent.

Several soldiers appeared from nowhere, holding a wooden bowl with their freshly prepared meal in it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you've been living with the soldiers lately, eating instant noodles made by the imperial court for every meal?"

"Yes."

Qin Ming smiled bitterly. Ever since Liu Chuang and Wu Qingye were sent into Tianwu Zehou, the military camp had basically been emptied.

Fortunately, Xuanfeng and Elder Song went out in person and went to Xishu to receive the goods delivered by train.

This allowed them to finally get their military rations.

At the beginning, the soldiers in the army were somewhat interested in instant noodles.

There were no additives in that era, and this kind of pasta fried with flour had a very fragrant taste of the ingredients themselves.

The soldiers who ate it for the first time were all very excited and thought it tasted delicious. Some even said they wanted to eat it every day in the future.

But after only two or three days, some people felt uncomfortable with the food.

"This thing is delicious in one bite, but greasy in two."

Qin Ming took the bowl and took a few bites. After comparison, it was still much better than instant noodles.

"They don't have rations, so they have to find food for themselves while traveling through the wilderness?"

"Yes, they are a special forces unit after all. I train them according to the requirements of an ace. They must adapt to any environment, and this training also includes myself."

Hei Fu nodded slowly.

The fact that a batch of military rations could be saved and sent over was indeed beyond Qin Ming's expectations.

His heart moved, and he suddenly said:

"If I ask you to guard the passage from Xishu to the Western Regions alone, will these 15,000 men be enough?"

"Your Majesty...you really know how to give me a hard time."

Hei Fu gave a wry smile but didn't refuse.

"You are the most accomplished and the best student among the first batch of students in our military academy."

Qin Ming patted his shoulder with great respect.

His original plan was to have Heifu assist Cao Chuan and block the troops of the Shenmu Kingdom together.

But if their number had reached 15,000, the situation would be completely different.

These special forces are very powerful and can fully demonstrate their combat effectiveness regardless of the terrain. Combined with the complex geographical environment of Western Shu, Changsun may suffer a great loss.

"I see."

Faced with Qin Ming's entrustment of an important task, Heifu nodded slowly.

"Tell Cao Chuan to build a few forts and then bring his men back."

"Are we wrapping up yet?"

Heifushi spoke with some anticipation. As generals, they all wanted to participate in the final battle.

"Well, you can come back then."

"clear."

Soon, Heifu's troops rushed towards Yuanwang Ridge without stopping.

Outside Tianwu Lake, Qin Ming's troops have completed their formation.

Although they are all ordinary troops of the Datong Sect, their combat effectiveness, after being equipped with weapons and equipment provided by Daqian, is enough to fight against the Western Regions coalition forces.

"How are Lao Wu and Lao Liu?"

Bringing his men to the outskirts of Tianwu Lake, Qin Ming turned to look at Elder Song.

Elder Song has been stationed here for the past few days.

He arranged for people to transport military rations and weapons and equipment, and also witnessed the consumption rate of the Huozi Camp.

Liu Chuang's troops used firearms at an abnormally high frequency.

For example, when they led the Datong sect's troops to fight against the Western Regions coalition forces, they used firearms sparingly.

In most encounters, everyone just rushed forward and fought bloody battles.

But since Liu Chuang came here, all the people he brought with him started to vent their firepower crazily.

In just a few days, the amount of gunpowder they used was far more than what they used in a month.

This kept Elder Song very busy. Every day when he opened his eyes, he had to coordinate the transport teams from all parties, cross the mud and enter the swamp, and replenish Liu Chuang with newly transported ammunition.

After spending so much ammunition, the effect is naturally very good.

"Your Majesty, we have completely taken control of the core area of ​​Tianwuze, but they have recently encountered a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"The two large armies of the Western Region Allied Forces and the Shenmu Kingdom are constantly encircling and suppressing the two generals. Even their current losses have exceeded the limit."

In order to fight for this must-fight place, they dispatched a lot of troops.

Prepare to use the difference in numbers to forcibly make up for the difference in combat power.

If we can't occupy this place, we will have no chance even if we want to fight Qin Ming.

With the courage to fight to the death, the combat effectiveness of these troops will be much stronger than before, and they will dare to fight to the death.

This brought huge hidden dangers to Liu Chuang and Wu Qingye.

Their troops have also begun to lose strength in recent days.

The number of layoffs exceeded expectations.

“I didn’t expect that they would mobilize a large army here.”

"In that case, let's put our people in as well."
