If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

Of course, this low was considered low in Zongze's eyes; in the eyes of others, the Tribunal Knights were still a terrifying force.

Zongze's viewpoint stemmed from the post-war summary report.

Although the Xuanzong Gang emerged victorious in the battle against the Black Rock Gang, the post-battle summary report enraged Zong Ze.

Post-war statistics show that the Tribunal Knights suffered over 100,000 casualties, approaching 140,000, during the construction project.

Moreover, these 140,000 troops did not suffer casualties in the final battle, but rather in the previous siege. It is said that a dense volley of arrows from the Black Rock Gang's defending army killed or wounded nearly 20,000 Knights of the Tribunal Knights!

Seeing Zong Ze's furious outburst, many people, including Han Ju, came to persuade him, saying that the battle was quite large, considering that the Black Rock Gang suffered nearly 70,000 casualties!

In typical siege battles, it is quite normal for the casualty ratio between the defending and attacking sides to be 1:2 or even 1:3.

Moreover, the Knights of the Tribunal were originally a formidable force on horseback, so the fact that they have transformed from cavalry to infantry is quite remarkable!

Zong Ze was not unaware of this principle, but since he began leading troops, he had never experienced such heavy casualties.

Zong Ze firmly believed that if the attacking force was not the Tribunal Knights but the Divine Machine Legion, even with the same number of 300,000 men, the same attack on the Black Rock Gang, and the same Martial Venerable realm, the Divine Machine Legion's casualties would definitely not exceed 10,000.

Zong Ze has always believed that war is about fighting a reduced center of power.

Resources, equipment, personnel, quantity, morale!

These are all written in textbooks, but there is another crucial topic: combat methods and the coordination between soldiers!

Therefore, after starting the ideological and political education course, Zong Ze added two more courses!

The first is a training course for military management and battlefield response capabilities for officers at the company commander level and above.

Another aspect is the training of all commanders and soldiers in terms of their physical fitness and skills!

"You, you, stand up and answer me. What was the core idea of ​​guerrilla warfare that I told you about yesterday?"

Zongze stood on the platform, and below him sat a large group of military officers of the Judgement Knights, all of whom were captains or higher.

"Uh……"

The person whose name was called was a battalion commander. He stood up, scratched his head, and muttered to himself, "Guerrilla warfare, guerrilla warfare!"

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Marshal, I remember now..."

"Bang!"

A bamboo stick slammed down on the captain's head. Before anyone knew it, Zong Ze had arrived beside him!

"How many times have I told you? We are now the Xuan Yuan Sect. You can call me Sect Master or Gang Leader, but you can't call me Marshal. Can't you remember?"

"Oh, I've got it!"

The captain rubbed his bald, bruised forehead, looking utterly aggrieved.

"Continue answering my question!"

Zong Ze stood next to him and shouted loudly!

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The battalion commander straightened his back and said, "Sect Leader, the so-called guerrilla warfare teaches us that we must motivate our soldiers more often in peacetime. With motivation, our soldiers will be in high spirits and able to win battles. This is a battle with both fierce fighting and motivation!"

"Well, not bad!"

Zong Ze nodded: "It seems that all this learning has paid off. You can even use the word 'morale' now?"

Hearing Zong Ze praise him, the captain chuckled, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Yuan, oh no, it's all thanks to the sect leader's excellent guidance that I've made progress today. If it weren't for the sect leader..."

Before the captain could finish speaking, he was hit on the forehead several times in succession. When he glanced sideways at Zong Ze, he broke out in a cold sweat because he saw the sect leader smiling!

During this period of study, these military commanders loved listening to Zong Ze's lectures the most, but they also feared attending them the most. In the words of Chen Siping, the Eastern Route General, Zong Ze's lectures were not lectures, but digging pits!

And everyone knows that once someone falls into the trap set by the sect leader, the sect leader will show this kind of smile.

Sure enough, Zong Ze was furious: "Guards, drag him out and give him twenty lashes. There was a fierce battle? There was a fierce battle? You really know how to make things up. You're calling guerrilla warfare a fierce battle?"

Seeing the battalion commander being dragged out, the sound of military batons being lashed out came from outside, and Zong Ze's expression finally calmed down a little.

"I'll explain it to you again, so remember it well. If you can't answer this question next time, you'll get forty lashes!"

"The so-called guerrilla warfare was invented by a great man. It mainly consists of sixteen characters: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue..."

Hearing the whistling of batons outside and seeing the sect leader's ashen face, all the officers turned pale and began to recite: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack..."

In addition to military courses, Zongze also personally participated in the soldiers' daily training. The now-formed Divine Machine Legion was not under his control, and Zongze had to transform the Tribunal Knights into a true iron-blooded elite force as quickly as possible!

"Brothers, what are you using? Spears. I once heard a senior say that the staff is the king of all weapons, and the spear combines the advantages of the staff. Swinging, chopping, picking, thrusting, smashing—any attack method can be used with a spear!"

Zong Ze stood in front of the spearmen, holding a spear in his hand and demonstrating for them!

"The greatest power of a gun lies in its thrusting. A flick after the thrust can unleash even greater power. When two people are fighting, using spear flourishes can also disrupt the enemy's vision..."

Soon, two months passed. During these two months, Zong Ze spent his time teaching the soldiers and refining pills. Of course, having tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, he worked diligently every night without hesitation!

Zongze was extremely strict when instructing officers. Any officer would be punished for the slightest mistake. All the officers privately agreed to call him the Black-Faced Sect Master!

As for the warriors, Zongze was like an older brother who loved his younger brothers extremely. Although he was three years younger than the youngest soldier in the Knights, no matter which soldier made a mistake repeatedly, Zongze would not get angry. Instead, he would patiently teach them by hand again and again!

Zong explained this to the puzzled Han Feng in this way!

"Soldiers are brothers who fight on the front lines. Even if they make mistakes, we must patiently teach them because they are fighting with their lives!"
