188 Victorious
Although everyone understood the general's intentions and marveled at the general's strategy, they were still terrified, after all, they were not facing ordinary enemies, but wolf-like demon cultists.
In the past, just hearing about it made people feel frightened, but now that they have seen it with their own eyes, the demons are really as three points like a human and seven points like a wolf as the legend says, and the soldiers are even more apprehensive. Fortunately, the general had already planned everything so that they would not be exposed to the wolf claws of the demon cultists.
When the soldiers saw that the werewolf was approaching, they shot the fire crossbow that had been prepared to the spirits on the ground, and the alcohol burned when it met the fire, and the fire was so big and fast that even the werewolves could not escape, and the werewolves standing on the wine instantly turned into a fireball, they wailed, cried, and screamed, and they rolled on the ground in pain, and if a werewolf accidentally touched the werewolf that had already burned, it would instantly provoke the fire, and he would become a huge fireball. Most of the werewolves that were lit without standing on the wine were also lit by the dense fire crossbows that rained down.
For a time, the inside of the enclosure had become a purgatory, and all the werewolves were surrounded by fire, and none of them survived. The dark night was lit up by the fire, accompanied by bursts of crying, which made people unbearable to see and hear.
But if it wasn't the werewolf cultists who died, it would be the soldiers, and what kind of attitude would they die? Was it killed by a werewolf with a weapon, bitten to death with teeth, or torn apart with claws? Do they get whole corpses when they die, or do they end up in the wombs of werewolves like prey?
The soldiers didn't dare to imagine what would happen to them if they hadn't prepared in advance, but they couldn't help but imagine it, because one day they would definitely face off against the werewolf army.
The fire burned for nearly two hours in succession, and the sky was already slightly white. Xiao Xiao looked at the sky, looking at the white, and suddenly felt desolate, no matter what happens in the world, the sun will rise as usual, the earth is constantly running, it turns out that human beings are really small. Those self-righteous joys and sorrows, those incomparably significant births, old age, sickness and death, and the change of dynasties that have influenced thousands of years are as small as dust in front of the universe.
Shen Zhongkun had already instructed all the armies to pack up their things and prepare to move forward, and the army continued to move south with the grain, grass and armaments that had been hidden in advance, marching like the main army of the Werewolf Sect.
Xiao Xiao followed the army forward, and when he looked back, there was only a sea of fire and thousands of corpses left.
Xiao Xiao sighed lightly, this is the so-called war, there is no good and evil, there is no right or wrong in war, only success and failure, only life and death. The best way to save your life is to destroy your enemies.
The army walked out of nearly thirty miles, Shen Zhongkun ordered everyone to stop and rest, facing the soldiers who were still apprehensive, Shen Zhongkun said loudly, "Soldiers, you are all the pillars of our country, and killing the enemy on the battlefield is one as ten!" In the past, most of you went to war, never feared, never timidly retreated. Compared to the brave and well-trained Tatars, the Werewolf Cult is just a rabble, how can it be compared to our regular army? Not to mention that they are just abusing the trick to deter people, even if they are really half-wolf and half-human, I just want to ask all the soldiers, is it more difficult to fight people who are full of wisdom, can use knives, guns and clubs, and are familiar with the art of war, or are they simply wolves with the desire to hunt more difficult? ”
All the soldiers looked at each other when they listened, and they all felt that what the general said made sense, and felt that their previous fear of the Werewolf Sect was really a meridian must.
Shen Zhongkun saw that everyone was shaken, and continued to agitate, "Last night was the first time we had a head-to-head confrontation with the Werewolf Sect, and we annihilated all the Werewolf Sect disciples who came to attack before we died a single soldier, doesn't this prove the strength of our army?" I believe that as long as we unite and work together, we will definitely be able to defeat the Werewolf Cult and return home with a great victory! Our army will win! Shen Zhongkun clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted.
Xiao Xiao saw that everyone wanted to respond, but he hesitated, and was the first to follow Shen Zhongkun and raise his arms and shout, "Our army will win!" Our army will win! ”
Then thousands of troops followed Shen Zhongkun and shouted, "Our army will win!" Our army will win! ”
In the crowd, Shen Zhongkun and Xiao Xiao looked at each other, and they didn't have to speak, they were worth a thousand words.
After last night's battle, all the soldiers were convinced of Shen Zhongkun, and they were full of confidence in fighting with Shen Zhongkun.
Shen Zhongkun knew that in order to achieve the final victory, his own wisdom and talent alone were not enough, and the confidence and belief of the soldiers were more important than anything else in the war.
Shen Zhongkun and Xiao Xiao entered the camp tent and threw Xiao Xiao a package, "You go." ”
Xiao Xiao was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”
"Wait for me when I go back to the capital, don't worry, I will definitely return to you safely." Shen Zhongkun smiled and took Xiao Xiao into his arms, and returned to her, beside her, it was his belief that he had never changed since he first met Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao shook her head and pushed Shen Zhongkun away, "I didn't plan to go back alone when I came out with you, I said that I would fight side by side with you, how could I go first?" Is that the kind of person you know Xiao Xiao?"
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Shen Zhongkun's mouth, "I don't want you to stay by my side all the time, but the Werewolf Sect is really powerful, I always thought that the rumors about the Werewolf Sect were all false, so I dared to let you be by my side." But when I saw them last night, they were really like wolves, and if they hadn't been prepared in advance, I'm afraid that most of our army would have been damaged. I can prevent it once, but I may not be able to prevent it a second time, not to mention that you said that there are also men in black and red who are strong in martial arts after them, and there are even demonized blood wolves, you tell me, how can I rest assured that you will be mixed in the army?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head like a drum, and stubbornly raised her head, "I'm not leaving!" You said it, no matter how powerful the werewolf cult is, it's just a rabble, don't you have the confidence to defeat now? If even you lose faith, what if you call the 10,000 army outside? Will I die in vain with you? What should you do if you call the emperor? If even you don't have the confidence to win, then who else can face the Werewolf Sect in the Manchu Dynasty? Isn't it possible to cede the country? ”
Xiao Xiao pulled Shen Zhongkun's hand, she knew that he was not afraid of werewolf religion and death, he was just afraid that he would not be able to protect her, afraid that she would be hurt, "As long as I can stay with you, I am not afraid or afraid of anything that happens, but if I can't be with you, what's the point of living for so long?" ”
Xiao Xiao's words poured into Shen Zhongkun's heart, like the spring water of a mountain stream, stirring up countless ripples, he couldn't help but take Xiao Xiao into his arms, with a little choked in his voice, "I promise you, in this life and this life, as long as there is a place for me, there will be you Xiao Xiao, I will never let you leave me, absolutely not!" ”
