Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 840 Chapter 341: Zhao Feng Arrives on the Battlefield! The First Battle of Daqin Elite Soldiers in Martial Arts!

The Northern Frontier!

In the northernmost region of Qin, lies Northern Territory County!

Following the division of the Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties, Qingzhou's Northern Territory County now serves as the primary base for the Northern Frontier Camp.

Two hundred thousand elite soldiers from the Northern Frontier Camp are stationed along the Great Wall of the Northern Border; ever since Shenzhou found peace, they have vigilantly protected Qin's northern reaches, repelling any incursions from foreign tribes.

Tonight!

The Northern Frontier Camp has been swiftly mobilized, converging at the border of Northern Territory County.

The Northern Garrison has also arrived.

Within the camp.

The generals have assembled.

Meng Wu presides at the head, with Li Mu and Wang Ben seated by his side.

Inside the command tent.

The three top generals of the Northern Frontier convene.

"General Meng."

"According to the latest intelligence."

"The Xiongnu and Donghu tribes have forged an alliance, their sights set on our Northern Territory County."

"General Meng and General Li, what are your strategies for this impending engagement?"

Wang Ben cuts straight to the chase, posing his question directly.

"His Majesty and the Crown Prince have conveyed a singular objective."

"To shatter the two tribes in a single decisive battle, annihilating their main forces."

"The outcome must be settled in one engagement, eradicating both tribes entirely."

"In that case."

"The Northern Frontier and Northern Garrison will spearhead the assault, crippling them directly, while the Lantian Camp will adopt a more aggressive approach, utilizing their cavalry to sever the foreign tribes' escape routes," Meng Wu states without hesitation.

This invasion by the foreign tribes has a remarkably clear objective.

They have not divided their forces; instead, they have consolidated all their strength, intending to breach the Qin border through sheer numerical superiority before advancing into the Great Qin Divine Land.

Their plan hinges on overwhelming Qin with absolute military might, not on a strategy of dividing their forces.

A formidable seven hundred thousand troops, stretching as far as the eye can see.

In their estimation, this force is far beyond Qin's capacity to resist.

However, they remain oblivious.

During the past three years.

The Qin Army has undergone a metamorphosis of seismic proportions.

Qin's initial dissemination of cultivation teachings began with the military.

Over three years.

Qin has poured resources into nurturing elite soldiers within the army; now, even those with the least talent possess a cultivation level exceeding the Fifth Level of Houtian.

After all, the Postnatal Realm primarily focuses on refining the physical body.

The Dragon Elephant Scripture, proving most suitable for the postnatal cultivators in the military.

A great many have now ascended to the Innate Realm.

The combat prowess of the Qin Army today stands in stark contrast to its state before the unification of Shenzhou – a difference as vast as the heavens and earth.

Each elite soldier, clad in formidable armor and wielding potent weapons, is capable of felling dozens of foes.

This is not even considering the power of the Army Soul Battle Array employed by the military.

By gathering Blood Qi, they strike the enemy with a power that surpasses even that of a Great Grandmaster.

Confronted by these foreign armies now, the Daqin elite soldiers are like martial artists facing ordinary mortals in comparison.

The foreign tribes alone are unaware of this monumental shift.

"I concur wholeheartedly." Li Mu nods in agreement.

"For this battle, forty thousand troops from the Northern Defense and the Northern Frontier are more than sufficient to cripple the foreign tribes," Li Mu declares with unwavering confidence.

"Excellent."

Wang Ben finds no fault with Meng Wu's strategic plan and readily assents.

Subsequently.

With a mere thought, Wang Ben summons the Tianxuan Sub-Mirror.

"Three Generals, the foreign tribes intend to launch a direct assault on Northern Territory County. Our Lantian Camp will execute a flanking maneuver from Jiuyuan County to intercept their retreat. Commence your movements immediately." Wang Ben issues his orders without delay.

"We shall execute your command without fail."

The voices of Lantian's three contingent generals resonate from within the Tianxuan Mirror.

"Generals."

"The Crown Prince will personally oversee this crucial engagement."

"As members of the Qin military, we are profoundly indebted to His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Even before the broader dissemination of cultivation teachings, we Qin soldiers were the first to receive the blessings of martial arts cultivation – a debt of gratitude is owed."

"This invasion by the foreign tribes marks the inaugural battle since our Qin soldiers began their martial arts cultivation journey."

"The formidable might of Qin's martial arts must be put on full display."

"We must not falter in our duty to His Majesty and the Crown Prince," Meng Wu proclaims, his gaze sweeping across the assembled generals within the tent.

"All for Qin!"

Every general rises to their feet, their voices echoing in unison.

Their eyes blaze with an intense fighting spirit.

Three years of dedicated cultivation.

As military leaders, they all possessed martial arts cultivation. Now, Qin distributed annual salaries determined by contribution points. Furthermore, in their capacity as court ministers and military commanders, they were granted monthly access to the Heavenly Profound Cultivation Space for cultivation without depleting their contribution points; the higher an individual's official rank, the greater the amount of cultivation time bestowed upon them.

This was an act of grace from Zhao Feng towards the ministers serving Qin.

Everything was contingent upon one's rank and personal strength.

And within the ranks of the military.

After three years of dedicated cultivation, not a single main general remained below the Grandmaster Jing level. Even the deputy generals had attained a cultivation base above the Innate Realm's fifth level.

This remarkable progress was attributable to the Heavenly Profound Cultivation Space, supplemented by the cultivation pills supplied by Qin.

Time, as always, flew by!

At the Northern Frontier.

The foreign army launched an invasion.

The Eastern Hu and Xiongnu tribes, comprising seven hundred thousand troops, advanced with an overwhelming and crushing momentum towards the borders of Qin.

"Report!"

"Inform the Great King immediately."

"The Qin Army has already formed its battle lines outside the Great Wall."

"Representing the Northern Frontier Camp of Qin."

"We seek the Great King's guidance."

"Report!"

"The Qin Army intends to confront our forces directly, rather than relying on defense behind the Great Wall."

Within the central command area of the allied army, where the Royal Court was situated.

The Eastern Hu Cavalry scouts returned with haste, delivering their report to Tuoba Hu.

Regarding this expedition.

An alliance had been forged between the two tribes, yet both Tuoba Hu and Modu were independently commanding their respective tribal forces.

The cavalry of the two tribes formed the vanguard, with the infantry positioned behind them.

Their strategy involved a mixed assault.

"Qin..."

"They are not utilizing the Great Wall for defensive purposes."

"It appears the siege equipment I meticulously prepared will go to waste."

Upon receiving the scout's intelligence, Tuoba Hu let out a smile.

Hailing from the vast Northern Frontier Great Desert, he harbored a deep-seated fear of the Qin Army defending within fortified cities. Therefore, he had always yearned for a direct confrontation with the Qin forces in the open field.

"Convey my royal decree."

"Advance the entire army!"

"Today, our army shall annihilate the Qin Northern Border forces and advance deep into Shenzhou!"

Tuoba Hu issued his commands with unquestionable authority.

The frontline army surged forward with remarkable speed.

The thunderous movement of the cavalry caused the very land of the northern frontier to tremble.

Meanwhile, beneath the imposing shadow of the Great Wall...
