Chapter 388: The Mainstay
The pursuit of defeat lasted until the second half of the third day, and the farthest elite chasing the enemy were four or five hundred miles away from Tongkou City, at this time they could already see the elite scouts sent by the main force of the Demon Barbarian Eastern Front.

The spoils of war consisted of demonic heads and tribal totemic banners, and often the capture of a clan's totemic banner meant that the tribe had fought to the last man. Occasionally, there were generals who drove the injured or disabled demon captives back to Tongkou City.
Although exhausted, before entering the city, every general could not help but salute the figure that stood like a mountain at the head of the city.
If it weren't for this man, without the birth of heavenly weapons such as the heavy crossbow, and without the iron-blooded soldiers he single-handedly trained, the northern line of Tianshui County would have been obedient and suffered from the devastation of the demons for nearly a hundred years, where would there have been such brilliant results?
After this battle, if the demon man wants Koubian Tianshui again in the coming year, he will have to think about it a little.
Several streaks of golden light swept from afar, landed on the north wall of Tongkou City, and walked to Chen Hai's side.
"Happy, happy!" Liu Chun put away the spirit sword, fell to the city wall, gasping, looking at his bloody and exhausted appearance, presumably after the true yuan was exhausted, he thought about returning to Tongkou City.
Liao Yunkui looked at this beloved disciple fondly, smiling without saying a word.
Wu Yunqiao happened to be the time when the barbarian army in the west collapsed, and led hundreds of Huayang Sect disciples to Tongkou City to reinforce, but he didn't have time to talk to Chen Hai at that time, so he directly followed the heavy armored cavalry of the fourth battalion and the chariot battalion of the fifth battalion to the north, killing and defeating the enemy barbarians along the way, counterattacking and intercepting again and again.
Directly until yesterday before nightfall received Chen Hai's military order, the chariot battalion and the heavy armored cavalry parked two hundred miles away in the Niucaling Ridge to stand by, Wu Yunqiao only returned to Tongkou City with Liu Chun and others at this time, and also learned more details about the defensive battle of Tongkou City from Liu Chun's mouth.
Wu Yunqiao, as the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Huayang Sect, has been practicing in the mountain gate of Huayang Sect for several years, and she has already stepped into the late stage of cultivation in the Ming Realm. It stands to reason that her cultivation is a small realm higher than Chen Hai, but on the way to the aid of Tongkou City, she saw Chen Hai fighting with the handsome Mueller under the city from a distance, and her heart was deeply shocked.
The handsome Muller is extremely brave and has the power to look down on the world, the disciples of the Huayang Sect have seen it many times in the previous winter defensive battles, and even Huang Shuang, a powerhouse in the middle of the Dao Dan Realm, is difficult to compete with Muller.
To tell the truth, when Chen Hai stepped forward and saw him from a distance to pick up the black iron giant axes that weighed thousands of pounds each, Wu Yunqiao's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Who would have thought that Chen Hai not only blocked, but even in the next battle, he entangled Mueller with one punch and one palm - he could resist the demon barbarian generals with only physical strength, Wu Yunqiao had only seen it in his life, and even the last blow injured Mueller and announced the dismal defeat of the barbarians.
Wu Yunqiao was deeply shocked in her heart, and she had a lot of words, but she didn't know where to start.
"Congratulations to Chen Hou Xiuwei for improving again, Dantu Avenue will be completed in the near future!" After all, Liao Yunkui's cultivation is the highest, and when he returned to Tongkou City, he found that Chen Hai's aura was more subtle and profound than before, so he came over first and said goodbye.
At this time, there was a burst of golden drums in Tongkou City, and another team of chasing enemy soldiers also returned to Tongkou City smoothly under the guard of the war bird battalion, and other chasing enemy generals also gathered in Niu Calf Ridge, and at this time Tongkou City has become a sea of joy.
Chen Hai asked Qi Hanjiang and the others to gather their subordinates and go back to the camp to rest.
At this time, the goose feather snow that had accumulated for a day finally fell.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, accumulating more and more, covering up the corpses and pools of blood inside and outside the city walls, and covering up the cruel and bloody battlefield.
In the coming year, the fertile soil here will once again highlight its vitality, and the line of Yuchengling Hengshan, which has been abandoned for decades, will prosper again.
Chen Hai is convinced of this.
Early the next morning, Chen Hai woke up to the sound of clusters of snowflakes falling on the ground, and there was silence outside except for the footsteps of patrolling soldiers.
Stretching his waist, the bones of his body crackled like firecrackers, and he was slightly lucky, the injuries left by the hard fight with Muller four days ago had healed most of them with the improvement of the realm, and the rest was not an obstacle.
Looking out the window, the sky was only slightly white, dissipating the whispering in his throat.
Chen Hai was dressed neatly, and the day's drills in the camp began again, and he would not slack off because of the previous bloody battle, there were still hundreds of thousands of demon barbarian elites in the north who had not gone, and no one knew if there would be another barbarian raid to kill.
Chen Hai pushed open the curtain and saw that the top of the big tent and the head of the city were already covered with thick snow, but the camp had already been cleaned.
By the time Chen Hai arrived at the school ground, tens of thousands of soldiers from Long Xiang's army, Tianshui County soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers, the blood stains on their robes and armor had not even been wiped off.
Seeing Chen Hai coming out of the big tent, and I don't know who started it, many generals waved the blades in their hands and shouted together: "The pillar of the Heavenly Machine God Marquis is in the middle, and it will last forever!"
The huge momentum made the heavy snow seem to freeze for a while, resounding through Tongkou City.
Chen Hai couldn't cry or laugh, and when he saw Qi Hanjiang running over with a thief's face, as if he wanted to ask for credit, he frowned and asked if this was his idea.
"The demon barbarians are on the border every year, and my Tianshui monarchs do not have the strength of the Dong and Miao clans, and they stick to the strong city every year. But after all, the capacity of the city is limited, and the people who cannot enter the city can often only be thrown to the demons to loot and slaughter, and the people who enter the city are also hungry and cold, and their livelihood is not settled, and they endure the cold winter. At this time of year, there are countless people who sell bids in Hengshan, Guanhe, and even the hinterland of Tianshui. The battle of Tongkou made the demon barbarian frightened, as long as Chen Hou guards Tianshui Town for one day, he can keep Tianshui County safe forever," Liao Yunkui walked over and said with great emotion, "Even if you add another sentence of Ten Thousand Family Buddhas, Chen Hou can afford it!"
"Liao Shuai has transcribed, Chen Hai is just doing what he can. Chen Hai said, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army with Liao Yunkui, Sun Gan, Su Yuan and others, and at this time, the results of the battle had been counted overnight.
Tongkou was a bloody battle, chasing the dead and defeating, killing more than 23,000 demon barbarians, capturing more than 4,200 barbarians, and capturing 14 tribal battle flags. More than 1,800 people were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded, 2,900 were killed and more than 3,000 were wounded by the soldiers of Tongpao Army and Tianshui County, and more than 5,000 were killed or wounded by auxiliary soldiers and people.
In addition to the prisoners of war, the weapons discarded by the barbarians on the battlefield were extremely simple and could not be called trophies, but the battlefield could still collect more than 40 barbarian elephants that could be cured, as well as more than 5,000 war beasts and riding beasts.
In the past hundred years, the demons and barbarians have invaded Tianshui County, and there has never been a war in which the loss will exceed 40,000 elite soldiers, and Tianshui County has never had a war that can reap such brilliant victories.
Although they had known that the results of the battle were extraordinary, now that the actual figures came out, everyone still couldn't help but be full of energy and admired each other, and Chen Hai's gaze had already crossed the lofty mountains, rivers and mountains, and headed towards Yanjing.
***************************
At this time, in Yanjing City, the deployed Heaven and Earth Gangyang Great Array is playing a role, making the city warm and harmonious, compared to the snowy north, the difference is like heaven and earth.
As the New Year approaches, there are many more people on the streets than usual.
What hideous demons and bloody battlefields, far away from the bustling crowd here.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and more than 100 handsome and extraordinary black and cunning war horses crossed the street, and the war horses were all plagiarized soldiers, revealing a fierce murderous aura, which made everyone subconsciously fear and avoid.
After the cavalry, there were several exquisite cars, and the wheels made of black dragon wood pressed over the bluestone road, and the rumbling sounded, which was the embassy sent by the imperial court to Hechuan to mediate the two wars of Taiwei and Helan.
Taiwei Tu Que personally took charge of the mediation, and at this time he was sitting opposite a middle-aged scribe in a jade robe and white face in one of the cars.
"Wen Jin, this time in Hechuan, how sure are you that you can say that the Dong clan can release the Helan Sword Sect as a way out?" Tu Que asked worriedly.
"Okay, Dong Liang and my father had a lifelong friendship in their early years, and now although the Helan Sword Sect is forced to die by them, and his life hangs by a thread, but the Helan Mountain Range, where the sect is located, is a strange danger of heaven and earth, if he wants to attack it, I am afraid that Dong Liang will not be able to bear such a big loss. The current situation is turbulent, I don't think Dong Liang will fail to see through this, maybe all he needs is a step. Besides, if it was a few years ago, when my Yao family's rebel son Yao Xing and the Dong family were working closely together, it is estimated that it would be difficult to say, but that rebel son has already drawn a clear line with the Dong family at this time, and even secretly funded the Musashi army and the Tianshui army soldiers to fight against the Dong family, and this rebel son has the heart to operate forces in the north of Tianshui County, the Dong family is really willing to see this son have the opportunity to take root in the north of Tianshui County, and from then on he can shepherd one side?" The middle-aged scribe sat in the car, and he talked eloquently in the face of a character like Tu Que, and suddenly had the courage to treat the heroes of the world as nothing.
Listening to Yao Wenjin talking, Tu Que secretly shook his head in his heart, thinking that Yao Wenjin is the youngest son of Yao Lao Ghost, who has not been ignorant of the world all these years, and has been concentrating on cultivation, making rapid progress, and has just passed fifty years old to have Dao Dan cultivation, stepping into the earth list, and there is a great chance to win the heavenly list in the future, he does have the confidence and capital to be proud, but he opens his mouth to a Dong Liang, closes his mouth to a Dong Liang, and does not take a character like Dong Liang seriously, and it is inevitable that he is too frivolous, after all, he cannot be compared with Chen Hai.
Tu Que couldn't help but think again, if Old Ghost Yao hadn't expelled Chen Hai from the clan back then, how far would the Yao clan have risen?
In the car in front, Zhao Zhong's ears stood up, and the thin gossamer-like conversation between Tu Que and Yao Wenjin that was deliberately covered by his supreme magic power was heard in his ears, and it was not difficult to imagine Yao Wenjin's arrogant temperament at this time, as if he had thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The chariot and horse team passed through the majestic Zhengde Gate on the east wall of Yanjing City, braved the heavy snow, and went all the way to Hechuan County, and they had not yet received the news of the victory of Tongkou City.
