Chapter 164: Invincible, Tumed Is Forced Into a Desperate Situation

As some rune patterns were evolved by the dynasty, those craftsmen finally worked out something.

Some rune patterns evolved from the guiding magic can not only be used as a medium to guide the power in the user's body and integrate it into the weapon, enhance its controllability and provide additional energy.

In addition, it can also be used as a gathering rune, which can gather a certain amount of energy and store it in the weapon. When it is used, it will burst out all at once, achieving the effect of further enhancing the power of the weapon.

Borrowing wind and controlling wind magic can effectively reduce air resistance and offset the influence of wind on the trajectory of bullets.

Some rune patterns evolved from the flame-breathing magic can increase the combustion temperature and efficiency of gunpowder and increase the power of bullets.

And if it can be combined with the amplification rune patterns evolved from the climbing magic, the power will be further enhanced.

The rifle in Wang Dahu's hand is a new type of rifle engraved with rune patterns, and its power is also beyond imagination.

The bullets fired are not worse than artillery shells.

And what if it is replaced with artillery shells? How powerful should it be?

The only pity is that engraving runes is not simple, at least you need to reach the Qi training realm.

Among the many craftsmen nowadays, only recently have some people broken through to the Qi training realm and completed some experiments on engraving runes on guns and cannons.

There are only a few dozen that are truly complete.

Only some senior generals have just been rewarded by the dynasty and can be equipped with one.

Now those craftsmen are studying the method of engraving runes in batches.

And their idea is the energy-gathering rune and the machine tool mentioned by the leader.

If the research is successful, the energy-gathering rune gathers energy as energy, and the machine tool finely engraves runes.

Then, this kind of weapon that is almost a magic weapon will truly enter the mass production stage.

Of course, before that, they still need to research steam engines and even internal combustion engines.

At that time, the development of the People's Salvation Army will enter another new stage of development.

However, even with the forward-looking guidance of the dynasty, as well as the assistance of magical powers and rune patterns, it is not something that can be done in a short time.

After all, runes have not been completely simplified and perfected, let alone other things.

Wang Chao estimated that if he really wanted to reach the level of development in the future, it might not take hundreds of years.

However, twenty to thirty, thirty to fifty years, that is inevitable.

The development involves all aspects, not just weapons or one aspect, which can be developed.

On the other side, when Wang Dahu and his men stopped shooting, there was no living person on the entire battlefield except for the Salvation Army.

Five thousand Salvation Army soldiers sat on horseback, each of them was filled with a strong murderous aura. There were tens of thousands of people, and even if they were killed at a long distance with rifles, it would not be without any effect.

Before the death of countless grassland cavalrymen, the despair, fear, resentment and other spiritual powers, and even the resentment of the residual souls, quickly gathered around everyone.

For a moment, Wang Dahu and his men were surrounded by ghosts, like a ghostland.

The Salvation Army is the ghostly soldiers who suppress countless resentful ghosts, and Wang Dahu is the underworld Yama. Even though the countless resentful ghosts are full of strong resentment and obsession towards him, they dare not approach him at all.

Looking at the resentful ghosts around him, Wang Dahu could not help but snort coldly.

Well, Wang Dahu can see those resentful ghosts.

In fact, not only Wang Dahu, but also the five thousand Salvation Army behind him can see these resentful ghosts.

This is an instinct after mastering the status of heaven and earth, a magical power that is not a magical power. They cannot see or sense pure spiritual power.

However, these soul remnants are already a kind of aggregation of spiritual power. To some extent, they are similar to the power of iron blood evil spirit.

Naturally, they can see and sense the iron blood evil spirit, and naturally they can also see these soul remnants.

However, they are not afraid at all. The iron blood evil spirit of the army is the nemesis of these soul remnants and resentful ghosts.

These resentful ghosts could not even approach them, let alone hurt them, and could only wander around.

Moreover, since they could see them, they could naturally hurt or even kill them.

"Hmph!"

As Wang Dahu snorted coldly, endless iron-blooded evil spirits suddenly fell, instantly drowning those resentful ghosts.

"Ah~!"

In an instant, those resentful ghosts let out silent wails, and their bodies twisted and broke apart.

And the endless iron-blooded evil spirits became more intense, and the evil spirits were so strong that they seemed to be able to kill gods and demons.

Turning the horse's head, Wang Dahu pointed his long sword at the large tribe, and everyone rode away in an instant.

All the combat-capable soldiers in the tribe had been slaughtered, and the remaining people naturally had no power to resist. Facing the evil-filled rescue army, they surrendered one after another.

Even if there were some troublemakers, they were shot and killed at the first time, along with those old and useless old men.

In this way, the remaining people who could work or children were all escorted by Wang Dahu and his men to Gansu Town.

On the way, they even destroyed a large medium-sized tribe and several small tribes.

By the time they arrived at Gansu Town, the number of people had increased from the initial 20,000 to 30,000 to 50,000.

After Xu Ming took over the captives and escorted them to the inland, Wang Dahu once again went deep into the grassland.

This went back and forth until no grassland tribe dared to approach within hundreds of miles.

During this process, as the Khan of the Tatar Tumed, Lin Danhan naturally led his troops to encircle and suppress several times.

Unfortunately, facing the rifles of the People's Salvation Army, no matter how many troops he sent, they were just sending themselves to death.

If ordinary people used rifles, they might be rushed to the front by cavalry.

But the People's Salvation Army was different. Not only were they all sharpshooters, but they also had Wang Dahu's dispatch. There would not be a situation where several people, or even dozens of people, aimed at killing one person.

Hundreds of thousands of bullets, it is really possible to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

If Lin Danhan had not been afraid of the sharp bows and arrows of the People's Salvation Army and had never approached the battlefield, he would have been shot and killed by Wang Dahu.

After several rounds of this, Lin Danhan completely lost confidence and led his tribe far away from the territory of the People's Salvation Army.

On the other side, Wang Shi and others' attack on the Qinghai Tatar Tumed was also extremely smooth.

It was even easier than attacking the grassland.

After all, there was enough depth on the vast grassland.

To the south of Qinghai was the Dogan Xuanwei Division, to the west was the Yarkand Khanate, to the north was the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, and to the northwest was the Turpan Khanate.

It can be said that the Tatar Tumed tribe in Qinghai was tightly surrounded, with little room for depth, and no external support.

If the Ming army was stationed in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division before, Lin Danhan could even lead his army through the Shaanxi Xingdu Division and directly enter the Qinghai Tatar Tumed tribe.

But at this time, Lin Danhan did not even dare to approach, let alone support the Tatar Tumed tribe in Qinghai.

In less than a month, the Salvation Army had occupied the surrounding areas of Qinghai, including the Chaka Salt Lake.

The dynasty began to make salt.

With some salt-making methods heard of in later generations, the Weapons Manufacturing Department has long developed the method of making pure salt in later generations.

As for why the Weapons Manufacturing Department would study the method of making salt.

Well, as mentioned before, the Weapons Manufacturing Department established by the dynasty is actually equivalent to the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, or the Institute of Engineering in later generations.

Not only will they study and manufacture weapons, but they will also study steam engines, machine tools, and salt-making methods, etc.

It's just that it's a war period now, so they are more inclined to weapons.

After occupying the vicinity of Qinghai, Wang Shi and others did not stop the offensive, but went all the way west, driving the Tatar Tumed tribe westward.

In the end, the Tatar Tumed tribe was completely frightened by the Salvation Army. As soon as they found the Salvation Army, they galloped and fled desperately.

Finally, three months later, the Salvation Army occupied most of the territory of the Tumed Tribe of the Tatars in Qinghai, reaching the level of Shazhou and Guazhou, and expelled all the remaining Tatar Tumed Tribe to the westernmost part.

During this process, Dogans in the south did not think of taking advantage of the situation and attacking the Salvation Army.

However, when they accidentally saw a battle between the two armies, only a few hundred Salvation Army easily annihilated thousands of Tatar Tumed cavalry at a distance of hundreds of meters, and they never thought of taking advantage of the situation again.

At this time, a large number of Tatar Tumed people gathered in a small area in the west, and the pressure of survival suddenly increased countless times.

At this moment, the Tumed Tribe of the Tatars in Qinghai was completely forced into a desperate situation by the Salvation Army.

If they want to survive, they can only expand outward and invade the territories of other forces.

To the east is the territory of the Salvation Army, and they naturally dare not.

Then they can only expand in other directions, either to the Turpan Khanate in the north, or to the Yarkand Khanate in the west, or to cross the Kunlun Mountains in the south and enter the territory of Dogans.

Of course, they have another choice, which is to go through Turpan, enter the northern grasslands, and integrate into the grassland Tatar Tumed tribe.

Or, join other forces.

If they are asked to choose a force to join, then the one they want to join the most is naturally the Salvation Army.

Although the Salvation Army once slaughtered people wantonly.

But doesn't this also prove the strength of the Salvation Army?

As a grassland tribe where the strong are respected, there is actually not much psychological pressure for them to submit to the Salvation Army.

However, that also requires the Salvation Army to be willing.

Anyway, along the way, the Salvation Army just attacked, attacked, and attacked again, and never intended to surrender.

Until now, three months later, the Salvation Army has stopped chasing.

And they were also forced to a small area in the west.

A group of tribal leaders with dusty and sad faces gathered together to discuss their next move.

"Ah~, I think we should just surrender to the Salvation Army"

"Hehe, that has to be accepted by them"

"Ah~!"

Everyone sighed and fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally said:

"Why don't we go through the Turpan Khanate and enter the northern prairie?"

"That's easy to say, do you think Turpan can allow hundreds of thousands of us to pass through?"

"This is not possible, that is not possible, what do you think we should do?"

"Or, join the Turpan Khanate?"

The moment he finished speaking, everyone cast strange glances at him.

Isn't he a fool?

Didn't Turpan also lose cities and lands when facing the Salvation Army? More than 100,000 people were killed, and now they dare not even fart and can only hide?

Moreover, although the Salvation Army did not attack the Turpan Khanate again, it seemed that they did not say a word of forgiveness.

It is unknown when the devil-like Salvation Army may attack Turpan again.

What should they do then?

Will they be ordered by Aji Khan to go to the front line to die?

The best case scenario is that they will be chased around like dogs by the Salvation Army again.
