Chapter 7: Four Legions
"Oh, by the way, in addition to Lingguang's Shesheng Battalion, I also need to form a cavalry unit led by a peerless cavalry commander and make this cavalry unit my trump card!"

"The cavalry general in my heart will come back in a few days, and my uncle will definitely be satisfied."

Looking at Zhuque who was still laughing foolishly, Su Ye shook his head and whispered to Meng Zhang beside him.

In Su Ye's conception, the new army will be divided into four parts:

Meng Zhang's Qinglong Legion will be the main combat legion of the new army in the future. It will include main combat arms such as infantry, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and crossbowmen, and will be responsible for future group combat.

Baihu's White Tiger Cavalry will be the ace force of the future new army. It consists of light cavalry and heavy cavalry, responsible for thrusting, charging and taking on tough tasks.

Wu Xuan's Xuanwu Guards will be composed entirely of heavily armored infantry, and in the future they will be led by the top defense god of war Xuanwu to protect Su Ye's safety.

Zhuque's Zhuque Camp, also known as the Shesheng Camp, will select sharpshooters from the Jiuxiao Army, who will be responsible for roaming the battlefield and killing enemy officers.

Moreover, the sharpshooter is also a powerful weapon for the martial arts sects. You should know that the martial arts sects on the Tianwu Continent are not weak at all, not to mention the sects that will intrude in the future.

But the army cannot just target the martial arts sects, so there is the Suzaku Camp, and there are also some convenient ways to deal with these martial arts sects.

But precisely because of this, the training of a sharpshooter requires long-term accumulation.

In this regard, Su Ye could only take advantage of the Jiuxiao Army.

Anyway, the Jiuxiao Army is a large and powerful army, and there must be quite a few sharpshooters over time. Some sharpshooters are even practicing volley shooting with the archer troops.

There was no other way. Since he had to spoil his war god fiancée himself, Su Ye could only shamelessly return to the Jiuxiao Army.

He gathered a small number of the sharpshooters under the generals and gathered 3,000 men for Suzaku's Shooting Camp.

Don’t think it’s too few. In ancient times, every archer was one in a hundred, and a sharpshooter was one in a thousand.

An excellent sharpshooter is basically the apple of the eye of generals and lieutenants in the army.

Without affecting the combat effectiveness of the Jiuxiao Army, Su Ye was able to take away so many of the generals' treasures.

It was because Prince Yun’s prestige in the Jiuxiao Army was too far-reaching, and Su Ye, the prince, benefited from it.

"Oh"

"Then I will look forward to seeing what kind of surprises the cavalry commander Jin Yu mentioned will bring to me."

Hearing Su Ye’s expectations for the cavalry general, Meng Zhang also became interested.

An excellent cavalry general, under the command of an outstanding commander, can exert 200% of his effectiveness, and sometimes even have the final say. His importance is self-evident.

"Don't worry, uncle will definitely be satisfied."

In Su Ye's imagination, the relationship between Baihu and Mengzhang would be similar to that between Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

The White Tiger was responsible for charging into battle, using its own martial arts and cavalry to tear through the enemy's lines like a sharp knife.

Qinglong is responsible for coordinating the overall situation and gradually eroding the enemy's forces.

There is no commander who would dislike Baihu, a Huo Qubing-like cavalry general with unparalleled combat power and excellent cavalry command ability.

Moreover, among the four heavenly spirits in the future, the one who will work with Meng Zhang the longest will only be the White Tiger.

As Su Ye’s future wife, Zhuque definitely cannot follow Meng Zhang on his expeditions.

Wu Xuan is the god of war with unparalleled defense, because his skills are all focused on defense.

As long as Wu Xuan is by his side and focuses on defense, even Baihu, a god-like general with a basic strength of 110, will not be able to hurt Su Ye.

Therefore, Wu Xuan's final destination must be to stay with Su Ye with the Xuanwu Guards.

With this calculation, except for the few years when he had not yet inherited the throne of King Yun, the Four Spirits of Heaven might fight together.

When Su Ye inherits the Cloud King and the Nine Heavens Army, the Four Heavenly Spirits, which can be regarded as the top combination, will probably be separated. At that time, Meng Zhang and Bai Hu may be fighting outside, but Zhu Que and Wu Xuan will definitely stay with Su Ye.

"Your Highness, thirty thousand soldiers and their corresponding weapons and horses are ready."

"Would you like to go and inspect it?"

Just as Su Ye and the other two were chatting, a middle-aged officer wearing the standard black armor of the Jiuxiao Army slowly came up to Su Ye and bowed.

"Of course, please lead the way, General."

Upon hearing that he had gotten the benefits of fleecing the Jiuxiao Army, Su Ye was naturally impatient.

Unlike in the past, this army will belong to you alone from now on.

But we still have to think about how to get something out of the Jiuxiao Army.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for exceeding the target of completing the first main mission!"

"Rewards are being upgraded. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 summoning points, two faction summoning cards, three unlimited random summoning cards, one holy-level force summoning card, one holy-level commander summoning card, and five random summoning cards."

Just when Su Ye was planning to get some more benefits from the Jiuxiao Army, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang in Su Ye's ears.

"Ok?"

"what's the situation!"

Su Ye was puzzled when he was prompted by the sound of thunder from the system. How come he suddenly completed the first main task?
And it exceeded the target!

I didn't do anything?

That’s not right, I was just about to start the mission!
How come it's done?

It's over before it even started?
and many more!

Did the system not take my current identity and background into consideration when assigning tasks?

Su Ye's face looked a little strange, and he suddenly reacted.

Although the four major legions of the new army had just been established, Su Ye easily obtained the reserve troops of the 30,000 Jiuxiao Army.

With the strength of this group of soldiers, they would be first-rate combatants if they were placed outside.

If Su Ye was really a poor orphan grassroots emperor.

Therefore, it would be impossible to build such a force with sufficient weapons, firm will, extraordinary combat power, and enough to serve as the ace legion of ordinary princes without two or three years.

This is based on the premise that this emperor has a top-level military training commander under his command.

You know, building an elite force from scratch is not a matter of a day or two.

First of all, there are a series of soldier issues, including the selection of soldiers, loyalty, physical fitness, and will.

This is not something that can be solved by just picking up a bunch of young people from the roadside.

At most, they are just a group of hooligans, looking intimidating and able to scare county soldiers and miscellaneous troops.

When they encounter elite regular troops, they basically scatter at the first touch.

The second issue is a series of military equipment issues such as unified military uniforms, weapons, cloth armor and iron armor.

This requires a stable base and an extremely complete logistical organization.

There are also military morale, military spirit, military discipline, etc., which requires a wise commander and restrained generals.

For a grassroots emperor star, it is extremely difficult to build these things from scratch, and there are too many factors required.
