Chapter 38: The Steppe Withdrawal
The ghost soldier was really dumbfounded, but he remembered clearly, these cells were all holding dead souls, but now, there were dozens of empty ones!
In the rest of the cells, the souls looked in horror at the middle cell, and in that cell, there was a human soul, devouring the souls of the dead.
There is no doubt that these empty cells were caused by this man!
"Quick...... Stop!" The ghost soldier was frightened, trembling all over, it was the first time in all these years that he had encountered such a situation, the place where the alien beast was imprisoned, there was an extra human revenant, and he had swallowed so many revenants!
He is the ghost soldier in charge of the cell, and without so many souls, he doesn't even know how to explain to the king of the underworld!
"Whew!"
In the cell, Lin Yusheng exhaled softly, this was not breathing, but after devouring a large number of dead souls, he actually had a feeling of holding on, and couldn't help but burp!
Hearing the scolding, he turned his head and glanced at the ghost soldier, and said lightly, "Are you calling me?"
At this time, Lin Yusheng was already very different from when he first came in, his eyes were dark and deep at the moment, and his heroic face was shrouded in a faint layer of evil spirit.
Although he only glanced at it, the ghost soldier felt a chill rush from the back of his spine to the top of his head!
"You...... I...... Ahh
The ghost soldier was frightened and incoherent, and finally screamed, turned around and ran away, leaving the other souls in the cell to scream in horror, for fear that Lin Yusheng would continue to kill.
However, their worries were somewhat redundant, and at this time, Lin Yusheng no longer had the urge to devour the souls of the dead, and the Killing Code seemed to be temporarily saturated.
But Lin Yusheng couldn't help but be worried, this time he devoured dozens of revenant souls, although these revenant souls were extremely evil and sinful, but he was not a law enforcer, he devoured the revenant souls without authorization, and in the underworld, he would be tortured!
What worries him the most is that the Killing Code is constantly instigating him to devour the souls of the dead and indirectly control him, otherwise, he would not have rashly devoured so many souls and caused this catastrophe!
The future is already uncertain, but now, calm down, Lin Yusheng feels that he may not be able to live!
Before, he devoured thousands of souls, and he also devoured two ghost records and a ghost king, and now he has devoured dozens of souls, if he follows the iron law of the underworld, I am afraid that it is not a pity to die ten times!
"Dead?"
Lin Yusheng muttered softly, and the scene of the night of the great change in the Lin Mansion immediately appeared in his mind.
One by one, the people of the Lin Mansion died tragically in front of him, one by one the familiar figures fell in a pool of blood, and when he woke up, the entire Lin Mansion was piled up into a mountain of corpses!
"I can't die, I must not die!" Lin Yusheng shook his head and gritted his teeth: "If I die, the revenge of the Lin Mansion has not been avenged, I must not die!"
After coming to the underworld, Lin Yusheng has been working hard to cultivate enlightenment, and after understanding the source of enlightenment, he guessed that after reaching a certain realm, it is possible to return to the yang world.
After returning to the yang world, he must avenge the hundreds of people up and down the Lin Mansion!
So, he can't die, at least not now!
He wants to live, to become stronger, to become stronger again!
Then kill back to the yang world!
Settle an old score!
A few days ago, he had already learned from Zheng Shi'an that his Andatürk attack on the French Dynasty in the Far Eastern Prairie was victorious, although Lin Yusheng was happy in his heart, he clearly knew that with the current strength of the Far Eastern Prairie, he was not the opponent of the French Dynasty!
After the transformation of the forest river, the army of the French Dynasty has already developed a skill, and in the face of the strong steppe people, even if they are at a disadvantage, they will not be defeated.
The rout is only temporary, if the French Dynasty really defends the city, the Far Eastern Prairie really can't do anything about them, even if two for one, the Far Eastern Prairie can't stand it.
Just as Lin Yusheng thought, Türk's attack was frustrated!
On the grasslands of the Far East, although the grasslands are fertile with water and soil, and there are herds of cattle and sheep, the population is much smaller than that of the Fa Dynasty, and the difference is more than dozens of times.
Even if everyone on the Far Eastern Prairie is a soldier, it is impossible to completely occupy the French Dynasty, not to mention, those army generals, although they are not as good as King Mang Lin Zhonghe, but they are also experts in commanding battles, and there is no problem if they want to hold the city when they are completely deprived of defense.
Moreover, the emperor of the French Dynasty was not a vegetarian, and from the beginning of the design of the Lin Mansion to destroy the gate, he had already arranged the personnel to replace Lin Zhonghe, the king of Mang.
This person is none other than Lin Zhonghe's nemesis Jiang Wenshang!
Jiang Wenshang was originally a scholar, studied ancient books for 40 years, and later entered the court as an official, transferred to serve in the army, and never got used to Lin Zhonghe's style, no matter what Lin Zhonghe said, he had to oppose it, which made the court divided into two major factions.
One faction is Lin Xi, and the other faction is Jiang faction.
On the day of King Mang's accident, Jiang Wenshang was appointed as the commander of the military and political affairs, and he was in charge of the army alone!
A few months later, when the Extreme Eastern Prairie attacked the French Dynasty, the emperor asked Jiang Wenshang's opinion, and appointed the partial general Bian Yong as the general of Zhendong, leading 200,000 newly recruited soldiers to encircle and suppress the Extreme Eastern Grassland.
The emperor doesn't understand military affairs, and so does Jiang Wenshang, it's okay to talk about scriptures, but it's not okay to march and fight.
From the moment they sent 200,000 newly recruited soldiers, they were doomed to fail in blocking the encirclement and suppression.
Their opponent was the Extreme Eastern Prairie, and when Lin Zhonghe defeated the Extreme Eastern Prairie with 50,000 iron horsemen, he only drove them back to the Grassland.
On the eastern steppe, the people are fierce, how can ordinary troops resist, so Bian Yong is losing and retreating, and the cities are missing one after another.
It was only at this time that the emperor realized that it was not enough to control the army, but that it was necessary to have people with military talents to defend the territory.
At this time, Hu Yong found the emperor and helped the emperor to give advice, Hu Yong has been in the Lin family since he was born, just by hearing and seeing, he is far more than ordinary people, plus he himself is also interested in learning this knowledge, now Hu Yong is not weaker than some generals, and even more powerful than those generals in the field!
It was also the emergence of Hu Yong that turned the tide of the war.
Hu Yong's plan was to first break the remaining army into pieces, disguise themselves and enter the city to avoid the enemy's pursuit, and then send people to gather them in case they were needed in the future, and at the same time send a large number of spies to find out the news.
On the battlefield, intelligence plays a pivotal role, related to the victory of the war, Hu Yong knows this very well, so he sent a large number of secret agents to find out intelligence.
At the same time, a group of more than 10,000 men and horses were sent to harass the troops of the Far Eastern Prairie from the flank, and this trick immediately worked, and the teams of the Far Eastern Prairie were all composed of brave and brave steppe people.
At first, even Turk didn't realize that this was a conspiracy of the French Dynasty, thinking that it was a previous rout deserter, but as time went on, Turck began to realize that something was wrong, but by this time it was too late!
When the troops of the Far Eastern Prairie came to the city that was originally scheduled to be captured, they found that there were countless elite soldiers standing on the city wall, and as for the city, I don't know how many people were hoarded.
This was Hu Yong's plan to delay the army, using six forces formed by 10,000 people to slow down the march of the extreme eastern steppe, and at the same time to step up the deployment of troops and garrison the city tightly.
This strategy of delaying the army and the darkness of the plank road can be said to be perfect.
Turke soon learned of the news, and he immediately became hysterical, and commanded his soldiers to take turns to start siege battles, but with little success, and the people in the city made up their minds to retreat into the city and not come out, but to defend it strictly.
The city wall is tall and majestic, and if you want to break the city, it is not easy to say it, and on the side of the steppe in the extreme east, groups of men and horses were organized to charge, and they were all driven back in the end.
On the side of the Far Eastern Prairie, the losses were extremely heavy, and in less than a day, nearly one-tenth of the people were injured!
But Turk was not reconciled, and attacked for a month, but seeing that there was really no progress, he had to stop, and at this time, the troops of the Far Eastern steppe were less than fifty percent of the beginning, and the losses were extremely heavy.
The siege of the city did not go well, and the expedition had been going on for a long time, and the soldiers began to miss their hometown in their hearts, and they could not help but feel a little slack and resentful, so Hu Yong led people to launch a sneak attack on them at night, directly hitting the Far Eastern steppe, and Türk also left a hole in his arm.
Fortunately, the warriors of the Far Eastern Prairie are extremely fierce, even in the case of a sneak attack, they are still fierce, and they launched a counterattack in an instant.
But Hu Yong is too cunning, he is only nineteen years old now, but his cunning is no less than that of a veteran who has been fighting for a long time, and after the sneak attack, he immediately led people to retreat to the city.
Hu Yong knew very well that the current combat effectiveness of the troops of the French Dynasty was completely unable to fight with the Far Eastern Prairie.
Take it when you see it!
That's what Hu Yong is all about!
Sure enough, the next day, the Far Eastern Prairie withdrew!
The siege was not smooth, coupled with the low morale of the army, the food and grass were not enough to support the army to continue the battle, and more importantly, news came from the steppe that the Khan of the Far Eastern steppe, Türk's father Belam Khan, was suffering from the wind and cold, and was very sick, and he needed to rush back quickly.
For these reasons, Turk had to withdraw his troops and return to the Far Eastern steppes!
"I'll be back sooner or later!" said Turke softly before leaving, looking at the city where the army was stationed.
"Hu Yong, you killed my Andalin Yusheng, one day, I will cut off your head and pay tribute to the dead Anda!"
In the last sentence, Türk did not say that the army could only go out for the glory and interests of the Far Eastern steppe, and if it was for personal reasons, it would have a very big impact on the morale of the army.
"Tukula Woo Woo Chi, Baqi Valley Rebaru, Chikawuda You Da Ha ......"
On the way to retreat, Turck softly sang this song in praise of eternal life, and the soldiers in the army also sang softly, and with the song, they recalled the beauty of their hometown.
The difference is that in Türk's mind, he recalls Lin Yusheng's appearance, this song praising eternal life is the song he taught Lin Yusheng back then, but now, he and Lin Yusheng have been separated forever.
