Chapter 258 Bipedal Dragon
On the morning of May 12, 3886, Li Bin was accompanying Xie Yingying for a walk by the lake.
Xie Yingying, who has now become an elf, is already pregnant, which also indicates that Li Bin will leave his mark in this world.
"Husband, why don't I go back to the Zilan Tribe?
With my identity and my husband’s helping hand last time, the Zilan Tribe should send some magicians and warriors to support our great Han leader.”
Duke Charles Exta, the commander of the Northern Frontier Legion in Tardina City, sent someone to send a message to Li Bin two days ago.
The Oak Empire will send an army of orcs to attack the Han leader, and the Oak Empire will not be small in scale this time.
Li Bin smiled slightly, "Yingying doesn't need to worry. With the 500 Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry and more than 1,000 Forest Giant Heavy Infantry, even if the Oak Empire sent a full army, my Han leader would not be afraid at all."
Zhuge Liang and others found an open-pit iron ore on a mountain near Dahanling in the Tardina Mountains, which had a very high iron content.
While building the city wall, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang and several other civil officials had already guided human craftsmen and forest giants to make earth furnaces for making black steel, and produced a large amount of black steel.
Now all five hundred earthly dragon heavy cavalry are equipped with Xuangang equipment, including a pair of Xuangang armor, a Xuangang spear and a Xuangang battle axe. Even each earthly dragon is equipped with a set of Xuangang armor.
Although weapons made of black steel are worse than black iron weapons, they are much better in quality than ordinary iron weapons.
More than a thousand giant heavy infantry composed of forest giants will also be equipped with a pair of black steel armor, a black steel battle axe and a black steel shield according to the standards set by Li Bin.
However, at present, the Dahan leader has only completed the production of Xuangang equipment for 500 Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry, and the Xuangang equipment for more than 1,000 Giant Heavy Infantry, only about half of it has been completed.
Xie Yingying said with some concern: "But our Han Dynasty was newly built, and the difference in military strength was very different compared to the Auck Empire. If the Auck Empire really sent a full army, even if our Han Dynasty could withstand it, there would be heavy casualties in the end."
Li Bin smiled and said, "I don't plan to defend the Han leader to the death. If the Oak Empire sent too many orc troops, at worst we would retreat to the Tardina Mountains first to avoid it.
Anyway, the Han Dynasty didn’t have much valuable things, so it didn’t matter even if the Beast Army burned all the houses we built.”
It turned out that in the valley of Dahanling, although there were cliffs around, only hills with city walls could enter and exit the valley, there was also an entrance to a cave in the valley, and the exit to the cave was in the Tardina Mountains, seven or eight kilometers away from Dahanling.
Xie Yingying smiled when she heard Li Bin say this, "Since your husband has planned it well, Yingying doesn't need to worry anymore.
By the way, my husband, have the generals made progress in practicing Dou Qi?"
Li Bin shrugged and said, "It seems that I have no way to practice fighting spirit with all the generals. Otherwise, there would be no one who has achieved any reputation for so many people."
The generals under Li Bin, those powerful generals who practice martial arts, found that the vital energy they cultivated had nothing to do with the fighting spirit in this world.
Practicing according to the Dou Qi technique provided by Xie Yingying has no effect at all.
Like Li Bin and those powerful generals who have never practiced martial arts, they also have no effect in practicing Dou Qi.
The only thing that surprised Li Bin was that Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Pang Tong, Chen Gong, Xun Yu, Kou Zhun, Yu Qian, Liu Bowen, Sima Yi, and the two miracle doctors, all of them had the best talent of magicians.
In just a few months, sixteen civil officials and two genius doctors have advanced to the intermediate magicians. You should know that after Xie Yingying came to this world, she had been learning magic for more than 20 years before she became an intermediate magician.
And the elves, known for their magic, who have become intermediate magicians just as they become adults, are already considered geniuses.
Just as Li Bin and Xie Yingying were talking, Fan Kuai hurried over, "Lord, Xiang Yu and the others sent back a message. A large hill giant tribe was found in a valley in the Tardina Mountains!"
Although the names of Hill Giant and Forest Giant are different, the difference between the two is not big.
The adult hill giant can reach about three meters in height and weigh more than one thousand kilograms, and it is also extremely powerful.
It’s just that the forest giant’s hair is dark green, while the hill giant’s hair is dirt-gray.
In addition, the biggest difference between hill giants and forest giants is that forest giants are better at melee combat. When hill giants fight, they often carry a large bag of stones. These stones are generally around twenty kilograms and are used by hill giants as throwing weapons.
Moreover, the hill giant threw stones very accurately. With the power of the hill giant, even a legendary human warrior was hit by the stones thrown by the hill giant, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.
Of course, although the Hill Giant is good at long-term attacks, his ability to fight in close combat is not bad.
When Li Bin heard this, his eyes lit up.
Like the forest giant, the hill giant is very powerful in combat, but the personality is unruly.
To date, except Li Bin, I have never heard of any force that has conquered the forest giant or even the hill giant.
Now the Han leader is short of strong soldiers, and he has discovered a hill giant tribe, which is undoubtedly good news for the Han leader.
Li Bin asked Fan Kuai urgently: "Have Xiang Yu and the others taken down that Hill Giant Tribe?"
Fan Kuai shook his head, "Lord, there are too many hill giants in that hill giant tribe. According to our previous routine, it seems that it is not easy to succeed."
"How many hill giants are there in that hill giant tribe?"
"The news sent back by Xiang Yu and the others said that it is likely to be more than 1,500, or even more."
Xie Yingying couldn't help but say in surprise: "There is such a large hill giant tribe in the Tardina Mountains? I have never heard of it before."
Li Bin said: "The Tardina Mountains west of Tardina City are not smaller than those of the Purple Eucalyptus Forest. In addition, there are many spirit beasts in the Tardina Mountains. It is normal for the outside world to know that there is such a large hill giant tribe in the Tardina Mountains.
The four forest giant tribes we conquered in the Tardina Mountains are not known to anyone outside."
Xie Yingying hesitated for a moment, "Husband, what are you going to do next?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Bin's eyes, "Of course we, the big Han leader, cannot miss such a big hill giant tribe."
Early the next morning, Li Bin led dozens of generals and 500 cavalrymen under his command to enter the Tardina Mountains from the cave in the valley.
At this time, Li Bin rode a ground dragon wearing a black steel armor. The dozens of generals who followed Li Bin were also riding a ground dragon wearing a black steel armor.
Following the marks left by Xiang Yu and others, three days later, Li Bin and his men met with more than 20 generals including Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu then reported to Li Binhui in a deep voice: "Lord, according to our observations these days, this hill giant tribe is very not simple. In addition to the large number of people, it also raises many heads, two-legged flying dragons."
The two-legged flying dragon is not a real dragon clan. Like the Earthly Dragon, it is a kind of sub-dragon.
The adult two-legged flying dragon can have a wingspan of about twenty meters and a length of about seven meters, which is enough to carry a heavy object of several thousand kilograms to spread its wings and fly high.
In addition to attacking enemies with sharp claws and sharp teeth, the two-legged flying dragon also has the talent skill Lightning Breath.
Lightning Breath is a group attack magic, which can form multiple lightning attacks against enemies within a few square meters.
With its talented skills of lightning breathing, the two-legged flying dragon was also classified as a high-level spirit beast.
When Li Bin heard that the hill giant tribe raised many flying dragons with heads and feet, his eyes shone brightly, "I am worried that our great Han leader lacks an air force. This is really God helping me!"
At this time, Di Qing beside Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, the hill giants of this hill giant tribe are all divided into families and eat together, which makes us unable to find any opportunity to use sweat medicine.
If you go to the house to release sweat medicine, you may be exposed.”
Li Bin smiled and said, "Where is the water source of this hill giant tribe?"
Xiang Yu immediately said, "Lord, this hill giant tribe has at least seven or eight deep wells. It is too difficult to get sweat medicine under their water source."
Li Bin smiled and said, "What's the problem? It's just to use more sweat medicine. This time I brought more than 200 kilograms of sweat medicine. Not to mention seven or eight deep wells, even if it's twice as many, it's still enough."
When Xiang Yu, Di Qing and other generals heard this, they couldn't help but look excited. They didn't expect that Li Bin could bring so many sweating drugs this time.
That night, Li Bin sent several agile generals to sneak into the Hill Giant Tribe in the valley, and scattered more than 200 kilograms of sweat pills into the eight deep wells of the Hill Giant Tribe.
The next morning, after Li Bin brought people into this Hill Giant Tribe, not only all the Hill Giant had fallen into coma, but even the multi-headed two-legged flying dragons raised by this Hill Giant Tribe were all stunned by the sweating pill.
Next, Li Bin followed his previous routine and with his own divine power, he defeated the patriarch of the Hill Giant Tribe, thus gaining allegiance to more than 1,600 hill giants in the Hill Giant Tribe.
By the way, he also got more than ninety two-legged flying dragons that had been tamed by the hill giant.
In addition, Li Bin also learned from the patriarch of this Hill Giant Tribe that there are two other Hill Giant Tribes throughout the Tardina Mountains, and each tribe has thousands of Hill Giant Tribes.
Considering the orc army of the Auck Empire, it may invade the Han lord.
Li Bin did not rush to attack the other two hill giant tribes, and directly returned to the Han Dynasty's leader with his generals, five hundred earthly dragon heavy cavalry, more than 1,600 hill giants and more than 90 heads and two-legged flying dragons.
At this time, the entire Han leader was in combat readiness and was ready to fight against the Orc army of the Auck Empire at any time.
However, just a few days after Li Bin returned to the Great Han Territory, Duke Charles Exta, the commander of the Northern Frontier Legion in Tardina City, sent Li Bin the latest news.
Since the old emperor of the Auck Empire suddenly passed away, the Auck Empire was busy with the new emperor's succession. The orc army that was originally planning to go to the Han Dynasty would delay its departure. As for the specific date, although it is impossible to determine, it must at least be after the new emperor of the Auck Empire ascends the throne.
In this way, there will be more time to prepare for the Han Dynasty.
So Li Bin led the team himself and entered the Tardina Mountains. In nearly a month, he successfully conquered two other hill giant tribes.
He also harvested more than 160 double-legged flying dragons from this hill giant tribe.
On the way, Li Bin and his friends also accidentally discovered another forest giant tribe. This forest giant tribe is larger than the five forest giant tribes that were conquered by the great man before, with thousands of forest giants.
Relying on the sweat-burning medicine prepared by Hua Tuo and Bian Que, this forest giant tribe with thousands of forest giants ultimately did not escape Li Bin's hand.
The more than 300 earth-sporting dragons raised by this forest giant tribe have expanded the earth-sporting dragon heavy cavalry led by the Han Dynasty to 800.
Li Bin used two hundred adult two-legged flying dragons and two hundred hill giants to form the two-legged flying dragon cavalry led by the Han Dynasty.
The number of forest giants led by the Great Han Dynasty has exceeded 3,200, and the number of hill giants has exceeded 3,800.
In addition to the eight hundred earthly dragon heavy cavalry and two hundred two-legged flying dragon cavalry, the Han leader also owned 1,800 forest giant heavy infantry and 2,800 hill giant heavy infantry.
Of course, this was after Li Bin eliminated the forest giants and hill giants, and all the young and middle-aged forest giants, both men and women, were incorporated into the army, so that the main force led by the Han Dynasty could have 200 air forces, 800 heavy cavalry and 4,600 heavy infantry.
The Han leader still had a city defense force of 500 people, but this city defense force had very weak combat power. If he fought against the Orc army of the Auck Empire, this city defense force of 500 people could basically be ignored.
It was not until mid-September 3886 that Li Bin received news that the new emperor of the Auck Empire succeeded to the throne.
This news also indicates that the Oak Empire Beast Army's attack on the Han leader should begin soon.
However, at this time, Li Bin's confidence was already much stronger. Currently, the Xuangang equipment of 200 double-legged flying dragon cavalry, 800 earth-mounted dragon heavy cavalry, 1,800 forest giant heavy infantry and 2,800 hill giant heavy infantry are basically all equipped.
The weapons and equipment of the four types of troops are different. The two-legged flying dragon cavalry is only equipped with a pair of black steel armor and a black steel spear. However, four huge bamboo baskets are also installed on the back of the two-legged flying dragon to load stones.
In this way, the two-legged dragon cavalry can attack enemies on the ground with stones in the air.
Each bipedal flying dragon is also equipped with a set of black steel armor to protect the torso and head.
The Hill Giant Heavy Infantry was equipped with a pair of black steel armor and two black steel battle axes, and also equipped with a net bag woven with purple leaf vines to hold stones as a throwing weapon.
Li Bin felt that relying solely on the two hundred two-legged flying dragon cavalry, eight hundred earthly dragon heavy cavalry, one thousand eight hundred forest giant heavy infantry and two thousand eight hundred hill giant heavy infantry, let alone a full-packed beast clan legion in the Oak Empire, even if two full-packed beast clan legion came, they would not be able to conquer the Han legion.
