On that day, the Liangjieshan Military Department issued a document reducing the combat time of the entire army to twelve hours, with a rotation of guards every twelve hours and a day of rest after twelve hours of fighting.
The atmosphere in Liangjie Mountain became even more tense, because it was only like this during the first battle of Liangjie Mountain. Once it goes a step further and the guard is changed every six hours, it will enter a period of all-out confrontation. If the guard is changed every two hours, it will be the final battle of life and death and there is no room for carelessness.
In the last battle at the Two Worlds Mountain, both sides had tried their best. The humans and dragons changed guard almost every two hours. A large number of humans and water soldiers filled the Two Worlds Mountain with their lives.
Fang Yun received the document and looked outside. The rotation of guards was carried out every twelve hours, which meant that there were nearly 40 million soldiers participating in the war, and the reserve army had to have at least the same number of people, and the army in training had to have at least 40 million people.
Liangjie Mountain has completely transformed into a terrifying war machine.
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the third batch of armies from various countries in the literary world had completed training. The State of Chu sent two armies, one of which was directly incorporated into the Qishan Army, and the other was the Feixiong Army, led by Prince Jing.
The battle suddenly became fierce.
Once again setting foot on the Liangjie Mountain, Fang Yun no longer had time to read. Instead, he kept his eyes on the battle between the Pearl River Army and the monsters in front of him.
Because there were three hundred barbarian kings in front who constantly used magic, the tactics of the Pearl River Army were weakened to the extreme. They were no longer able to stop the barbarians from climbing the city, so the battle on the city wall was particularly fierce.
A large number of war poetry soldiers will fight with the monsters, while human officers and soldiers will be in the rear, shooting with bows and crossbows or reciting war poems, and Fang Yun will be at the end of the army.
In previous battles, Fang Yun only used war poems more than twenty times a day on average. After the appearance of the Three Hundred Barbarian Kings, the number of war poems Fang Yun used every day skyrocketed to one hundred. Now he uses them more frequently and can be regarded as a full participant in the battle. However, in order to prevent sneak attacks from the Demonic Barbarian King, his talent has been maintained at around 80%.
The other Grand Secretaries of the armies can only maintain their talents at about 60%. If they want to maintain more talents, the armies will inevitably suffer huge casualties.
The Liangjie Mountain Military Department has issued an order that all university scholars or great Confucian scholars must be prepared to be called up at all times, even when they are resting after their rotation. Once the Demon King or the Barbarian King suddenly attacks the city, all university scholars must go up to the city and fight.
The fierce battle forced everyone to abandon their selfish thoughts. Apart from killing the monsters and staying alive, no other thoughts were allowed.
It seemed that everyone had forgotten Gou Bao's bet, and no one cared about the King of Chu's actions.
Zhang Jing'an would write a letter to Fang Yun every once in a while. He had now entered a secret place of literature to study. At the end of each letter, he would always encourage Fang Yun, hoping that Fang Yun could become the first among the armies of Liangjie Mountain, plant the flag of the Pearl River Army on the top of the city wall of Liangjie Mountain, go down in history, and wash away Zhang Wankong's stigma.
However, the top 30 rankings in the Liangjie Mountain Military Merit Book are almost fixed, because each army is very powerful, has the same combat time, encounters a similar number of monsters and barbarians, and none of them are trying to steal the merits, so the daily increase in military merits for each army is almost the same.
The Pearl River Army has been in the tenth position and has not fallen, but it is also difficult to go further.
The Pearl River Army is well-equipped and is very efficient in killing monsters and barbarians, but the main force of the literary world has far more experience than the Pearl River Army, and the number of scholars at each literary level is twice that of the Pearl River Army, so their overall strength is far above that of the Pearl River Army.
However, since they had already defeated Gou Bao, the soldiers of the Pearl River Army no longer cared about the ranking and focused on eliminating the demons and barbarians.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial examinations in various parts of the human race officially began. The candidates who were participating in the battle at Liangjie Mountain sighed in despair as they had lost this opportunity, but no one complained.
A few days later, the results were announced in various countries.
There are ten A-class candidates in the ten subjects of the Jinshi examination. Without Fang Yun, there would not be a single A-class candidate in Jingguo.
This year, the people of Jing were not as disappointed as in previous years, because Grade A can indeed prove a country's strength in certain aspects, but the proportion of Grade B is equally important.
If only the proportion of Grade B candidates among the candidates in the country is calculated, Jing State ranks fourth, only after Kongcheng, Shu State and Qi State, becoming the focus of discussion among the human race. This means that Jing State's national strength is rising!
Every year, the State of Jing publishes a list of the number of Jinshi scholars in each city. The first place is naturally the capital, and the next four cities are the capitals of the four states. According to the rules of previous years, starting from the sixth place, the capitals of each state will compete for the ranking.
However, Ji County and Ning'an County both made it into the top ten, and the number of Jinshi in the county towns exceeded that in the prefectural town, which attracted the attention of the Ten Kingdoms. After all, one prefecture governs nine counties, and the number of Jinshi in the prefectural town is often ten times that of the county towns.
As a result, scholars from all over the human race yearned for Wudao River and Ning'an County even more.
Many people also discovered that the Jinshi from Ji County were more inclined towards Confucianism, while the Jinshi from Ning'an County were mainly majoring in engineering, agriculture, legalism, medicine and other schools, and those majoring in Confucianism were actually a minority.
Among the Jinshi scholars in Ning'an County, the proportion of scholars majoring in engineering is the highest in the country, because in Ning'an County, scholars majoring in engineering can get real dignity and the rewards they deserve!
After intelligence personnel from various countries handed over the information to the cabinet, cabinet officials from various countries were furious because more than one-third of the Jinshi in Ning'an County this year were scholars from various countries or their descendants, which meant a brain drain for each country.
Choose with your feet.
Cabinet officials from various countries expressed regret that if some of them had stayed in their own countries, they would have received better treatment in the future. However, they firmly believed that only by going to Ning'an County could they settle down. Apart from Fang Yun's appeal, what other reasons were there
As a result, officials from various countries conducted investigations and soon realized that there was a problem with education and propaganda, and that it was the fault of the Ministry of Rites and the Academy of Literature.
It was not until this time that cabinet officials of various countries realized how useless their own education and propaganda personnel were. Compared with the officials of Ning'an County, they were simply a group of pigs.
The officials of the big countries were barely okay, but the educators of the weaker countries, when compiling their own compulsory textbooks, used scholars from other countries as examples for all noble and friendly people, and used scholars from their own country as examples for all those who committed crimes or made mistakes. This is no longer educating students, but treason.
There were also some scholars in the Ministry of Rites who took out salaries from their own country and spoke for other countries.
The most exaggerated was Wu Shaoqing, the Honglu Temple of Shen State, who openly accused his country's military officials of being narrow-minded and believed that excessive suppression of the barbarians was foolish. He believed that the main mission of the Honglu Temple should be to ensure the interests of both his country and the barbarians, and not just to gain benefits for the human race.
As a result, the cabinets of several major countries immediately launched a brutal purge of some government offices, not allowing those people to continue to endanger their country. However, several small countries made much noise but little action, because the forces behind those people were complicated and intricate, and they dared not arrest them even with solid evidence of collusion with foreign countries, so they could only compromise.
Some upright censors had no place to vent their anger, and cursed the prime minister for being blind and saying that the country was on the verge of collapse.
Some scholars who knew the inside story became even more disappointed with the country and were actually preparing to set off for Ning'an.
There are also many scholars who watch from the sidelines, having long been accustomed to the fact that those senior officials do not care about the harm that those officials do to the country, nor do they care about the future of their country's students. Their main responsibility is to fight for power and profit, and only then to govern the country.
