It turned out that as soon as Wei Yixiao broke through, Yin Tianzheng noticed the abnormality of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and when he stepped into the innate realm, he could initially absorb the innate Yuan Qi outside the body to exercise his body, although this was only a very slight abnormality, but he was also aware of it in time. Because among the Ming army present, there were only two people in the innate realm, the sect leader and him, and suddenly there was another person who absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth, which naturally attracted his attention.
When he came to Zhang Wuji's side, he saw that it was Wei Yixiao who broke through, and he couldn't help laughing silently.
Ouyang Derong and others woke up one after another, and whenever someone woke up, a voice always sounded in their ears, "Don't speak, go to the tent to rest." ā
Zhang Wuji always reminded them in time that these people had a close relationship with Ouyang Zhi, and he was also worried that they would be chaotic if they cared, every time they woke up, they would leave, and gradually, Zhang Wuji, Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, Ouyang Zhi, and a sect leader were left here.
Wei Yixiao and Ouyang Zhi obeyed Zhang Wuji's instructions and carried them for thirty-six weeks, and only collected their work when the meridians were sour and swollen, and two more hours had passed at this time.
The two of them stood up, their faces unable to hide their excitement and joy.
Yin Tianzheng laughed and said, "Bat King, congratulations, Brother Ouyang, congratulations." ā
Wei Yi smiled and said, "Brother Yin, this feeling is too good, too good." ā
Ouyang Zhi said excitedly: "Senior Yin, thank you." He turned to Zhang Wuji and said, "Sect Master, thank you." If you don't walk out of the White Camel Villa, your subordinates don't know the Year of the Monkey if they want to break through. ā
Wei Yixiao also hurriedly said to Zhang Wuji: "Sect Master, thanks to this battle, otherwise, my subordinates don't know when they will be able to break through." ā
Zhang Wuji said with a smile: "This is the coexistence of risks and opportunities, the attributes of anything are not single, as long as we work hard to find it, there is an opportunity at any time." Alright, you two, let's go wash up. ā
The excitement and joy just now were so great that neither of them noticed it, but when they heard the sect leader say it, a pungent stench immediately came from their noses, and the two of them almost wanted to vomit, and their bodies were also covered with a layer of slippery black mud.
The two hurriedly saluted Zhang Wuji, turned around and ran towards the mountain, especially Wei Yixiao's figure disappeared into the darkness in a flash, he was already good at light work, and after breaking through, the speed was even faster.
After the two left, Yin Tianzheng took two breaths of air fiercely, and smiled at Zhang Wuji, it turned out that both of them had closed their respiratory systems in time.
The two of them walked towards the camp together, the guard following closely behind. The battlefield had been cleaned up, the corpses and supplies had been separated, far apart, the bonfires on the ground were half smaller but still burning, and the corpses were thrown into the darkness to the east, five miles away from the Ming army camp.
In the darkness of the east, there are bursts of frantic chewing sounds, and bursts of vultures' shrill calls, these aborigines of the Great Northwest can have a full meal tonight, the huge northwest wolves will even swallow the meat to the bones, in a few days, this place will become clean again, there is no trace left, wait until tomorrow dawn, there will be more wolves and vultures to arrive here, animals always have an innate sensitivity to food.
Zhang Wuji's faces were as usual, and they walked all the way forward. Only the Tartar captives on the edge of the forest trembled in fear when they looked at the green eyeballs in the distance, the Ming army had already collected all their weapons, each of them only had a thin set of clothes, and they were not much better than the sheep when they encountered such wolves with their bare hands.
Therefore, the Ming army did not take strict care of them, but looked very strictly at the horses that were gathered up.
After a day of fierce fighting, these captives were tired, tired and hungry, looking at the green and faint ghost fires wandering in the distance, they were even more frightened and did not dare to raise their heads, in their eyes, these Ming troops already had a faint shadow of demons, not only powerful and tired non-humans who would never know, but they were so cruel that they let wild wolves eat corpses, which is not something that normal people can do at all.
The Ming army has enough horses and meat at night, and their stomachs are round when they eat, they don't have this treatment for these captives, Zhuang Zheng specially commanded, deliberately starving them for a night, killing their minds, and how to deal with these captives also needs to be decided by the sect leader, and then see how to treat them after their fate is decided.
Zhang Wuji and the others walked into the camp, except for the soldiers standing guard, the soldiers were already resting, and the snoring was like thunder.
Zhuang Zheng hadn't rested yet, and when he heard his subordinates report that the sect leader had returned, he walked out and entered the sect leader's tent.
"Sect Master, the statistics of this battle have come out, and my subordinates will report to you. ā
"Okay, you can say it. ā
"Sect Master, in this battle, our side killed one hundred and seventy-seven people, injured one hundred and eighty-nine, the flood banner suffered the heaviest losses, as many as eighty-nine people, Ruijin Banner thirty-two people, the rest are brothers from the southeast branch of the altar, Houtu Banner did not die, forty-two people were injured. The Tartars took 6,782 prisoners, collected 28,927 horses, and countless weapons, armor, clothing, and other supplies. ā
"Injured brothers, how is the healing condition, how much can you recover?" Zhang Wuji asked in a deep voice.
Most of the wounded brothers were lightly wounded, but the hardships of the march would have worsened their injuries. Eleven more people are too badly injured to survive tonight. ā
"The Tartars lost more than 40,000 people in the two battles, and if the Western Regions want to transfer troops, they will not be able to do it in a short period of time, which has formed a huge empty area of power, this is our opportunity, I think our plan will be changed. Leave me 10,000 horses and 10,000 supplies, and early tomorrow morning, you will lead the Ruijin Banner to transport the wounded soldiers and the remaining horses and supplies back to Guangmingding, take advantage of the emptiness of the Tartar court's forces in the Western Regions, take advantage of the situation, and fight the banner of my Holy Religion to fight out openly, and strive to control the area from the Western Regions to Gansu, at least to ensure a safe transportation channel. The rebel army in the Central Plains needed war horses and fire oil from the Western Regions. Grandpa, Zhuang Zheng, what do you think?"
Yin Tianzheng thought for a while and said: "Sect Master's words are reasonable, the Tartar Imperial Court has an empty army in the Western Regions, the losses are too great, and it will take time to replenish the troops, my Holy Sect is just using this time to occupy this area, if we can transport the war horses and fire oil from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, it will be of great help to the Central Plains Righteous Army." ā
Zhuang Zheng said: "The sect master's words are reasonable, but if the Ruijin Banner is also left in the Western Regions, the strength around the sect leader will be too thin." ā
