Chapter 6: Building Iron Cavalry

Originally, he thought that it was extraordinary that he had entered the ranks of innate warriors at the age of eighteen.

Now it seems that he is just a small soldier in the Great Snow Dragon Riders!
too exaggerated!

It’s incredible!
Too strong!

No wonder.
The second young master could boast in the court that he could sweep across the State of Yan with only an army of 100,000!
at first.

The ministers thought that the Second Young Master had just been promoted to the immortal realm on earth, was young and frivolous, and had not yet experienced the hardships of the world.

Now it seems that an army of 100,000 is probably more than enough!
Maybe
These 100,000 troops are just to guard the city!

Having seen through the terrifying power of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, Meng Tian vaguely guessed Ying Ziye's intention.

Leading an army of one hundred thousand is not for fighting, but for defending the city!

When they arrived at the Lishan camp, Wang Jian and Meng Wu learned that Ying Ziye had arrived and immediately went out to greet him.

When they saw the snow-capped dragon riders, their jaws almost dropped!

Unlike Meng Tian who was still in his growth stage, the two generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu had reached their peak.

Their strength has also reached the level of martial arts grandmasters, and they saw through the true strength of the Great Snow Dragon Riders at a glance!
As veterans of the battlefield, they not only saw the personal strength of each soldier, but also the cohesion of the entire team.

Three people work in a group, breathing in sync, walking in unison, and moving in perfect harmony!
One can imagine what kind of power such strength plus such coordination will produce on the battlefield!

Originally, Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other ministers thought that Ying Ziye had just broken through and was arrogant.

Now that they saw the Great Snow Dragon Riders, they finally understood where Ying Ziye’s confidence came from.

Such cavalry!
Such strength!
invincible!

"Meet the Second Young Master!"

Meng Wu and Wang Jian suppressed their inner shock and saluted Ying Ziye respectfully.

There was a little more respect and admiration in his eyes.

They had never expected that Ying Ziye not only had extraordinary talent in martial arts, but also had astounding attainments in military tactics!
It is not something that ordinary people can do to train such cavalry.

At least, they both thought they could not reach it.

The battle-hardened armored soldiers under Wang Jian's command were the most elite troops and were good at conquering cities.

Under Meng Wu's command, the famous Golden Fire Cavalry was an invincible force on the plains battlefield.

However, even so
Faced with the Snow Dragon Cavalry led by Ying Ziye, these two powerful forces seemed to pale in comparison.

"Start selecting warriors."

"Let the 300,000 troops in the Lishan camp run, and only the 100,000 with the best physical fitness can stay."

“Otherwise, I’m afraid they’ll slow us down.”

Ying Ziye gave orders to Wang Jian and Meng Wu.

His criteria were simple: extreme stamina to keep up with his galloping pace.

"As ordered!"

Wang Jian and Meng Wu immediately accepted the order. They were well aware of Ying Ziye's intention in selecting people in the face of the might of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

On the parade ground, the soldiers of the Lishan camp lined up and waited for orders.

"Brave warriors!"

"Yan State dared to provoke and attempt to assassinate the monarch of our Great Qin, tarnishing the dignity of our Great Qin."

“How should we respond?”

Ying Ziye's voice was like a huge bell, powerful and resounding in every corner of the Lishan camp.

"Destroy the Yan Kingdom!!!"

"Destroy the Yan Kingdom!!!"

"Destroy the Yan Kingdom!!!"

The soldiers raised their spears and swords high, let out earth-shaking roars, and the anger in their eyes was like burning flames of hatred!
"That's right!"

"Destroy the Yan Kingdom!"

"I am ordered by the king to lead the army, but the number of places is limited. Show your bravery!"

"Only the most elite warriors are qualified to fight alongside me and share the glory!"

As Ying Ziye finished speaking, the warriors in the Lishan camp looked at each other with bright eyes, clenched fists, and looked excited, determined to fight for the precious spot to follow Ying Ziye into the battle.

"I announce!"

"The selection begins now!"

At Ying Ziye's command, thousands of soldiers rushed out of the camp in unison like a well-trained army and ran around Mount Li. The mighty momentum of the 300,000-man army shocked everyone, and even Ying Zheng, who was far away in Xianyang, was alarmed.

Upon hearing that Ying Ziye was selecting soldiers, Ying Zheng immediately became interested and took Zhao Gao, Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and other important ministers to the Lishan camp.

"Greetings to Father (The King)!"

When Ying Ziye and others saw Ying Zheng arriving, they hurriedly saluted.

"No gift!"

"I heard that you were selecting soldiers at midnight, so I came to take a look at you."

"But why just let them run and not do other training?"

"Ziye, aren't you going to select the most courageous and capable soldiers from this army of 300,000?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ziye's unique way of selecting soldiers and asked with confusion.

"My father."

"My Qin soldiers are all brave and fearless, and their combat effectiveness is almost the same."

"What I need is a warrior with the best physical fitness."

"Otherwise, they may not be able to keep up with my speed of conquering cities."

Ying Ziye explained to Ying Zheng, his words filled with immense confidence, as if conquering the State of Yan was just a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, Li Si, Wang Wan, Wei Liao and other civil officials who had never seen the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry could not help but reveal a hint of contempt for Ying Ziye's words, thinking that he was just talking big.

Conquering cities and seizing territories is by no means a struggle for supremacy in the martial arts world. Even if you possess the power of a land immortal, you can suppress martial arts giants in the blink of an eye.

However.
How can a mere snap of the fingers shake the city?
Even though there were doubts in their hearts, no one dared to speak out.

after all.

Ying Ziye is a deity on earth!

that day.

The scene of thousands of swords making a pilgrimage to the Xianyang Palace and defeating the martial arts grandmaster in the blink of an eye is still vivid in our minds.

As long as Ying Ziye's prestige was intact, no one dared to question his decision.

"Wonderful!"

"My son is feared by all!"

"Since I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief, everything is up to you."

"When will we set out for the expedition?"

Ying Zheng stopped arguing about how to select soldiers and instead asked about the date of the expedition. The hatred for the assassination by the State of Yan had not yet dissipated.

“Several artifacts need to be created.”

"Although the Yanzhao cavalry is not as good as our Great Qin cavalry, it is also quite powerful."

"Although they are like ants in my eyes, once they clash, the Qin army will probably suffer losses."

"If equipped with these, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry can be greatly improved, minimizing the casualties of our Qin soldiers on the battlefield."

Ying Ziye's words ignited the interest of Ying Zheng and his ministers, especially generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Wu, who were overwhelmed with emotion and deeply moved.

The army is fortunate to have a commander who cares so much about his soldiers.

"Oh? What kind of magic weapon is it?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"That's it. Stirrups, saddle, and horseshoes."

Ying Ziye took out the drawing given by the system and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"The stirrup is integrated with the saddle, and when a soldier sits on it, he is as stable as a mountain, and can exert his maximum combat effectiveness on the battlefield."

"The horseshoe is nailed under the horse's hoof, which reduces wear and tear and doubles the horse's performance."

Ying Ziye pointed out the drawings and gave detailed explanations.

Simple yet ingenious, everyone was amazed after hearing it.

"A divine weapon!"

"My son, you are still a genius!"

"Even the Mohist and Gongshu schools, who were famous for their mechanical devices, had never created such a magical device."

"Once equipped, our Qin cavalry will become even more powerful, and unifying the six kingdoms will be a piece of cake!"

Ying Zheng praised repeatedly and was extremely satisfied.
