Volume 3 Attack on Western Vietnam Chapter 130 Internal Strife

Half an hour later, both sides withdrew from the battlefield. The warrior silently received the nameplate of his comrade, and the monk silently collected the belongings of his fellow disciples.

On the mountain road in front of the gate of Xilancang Pass, corpses paved the road, raising the road two feet high. The bright red blood still flowed, converging into a stream and flowing into the Lancang River, which turned from pale blue to pale red.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, the two sides sent monks to cast spells with a tacit understanding, and the warriors who had thrown their heads and spilled blood turned into flying ashes and scattered on the land of the battlefield.

Everyone returned to Lancang Pass one after another, and spontaneously gathered in the Commander's Mansion. This time, there is no need for Wu Tianxiong to invite, everyone hopes to discuss countermeasures together here.

Wu Tianxiong was the last to come in, followed by his staff.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Striding into the living room, Wu Tianxiong arched his hand and sat down in his seat, his staff standing behind him with a flat expression.

There are six coffee tables in the hall, and the coffee table is cushioned behind it, and the six coffee tables are surrounded by a circle, so that there will be no distinction between primary and secondary, which is the opinion put forward by Zhang Xianju. This kind of placement can't help but make everyone's hearts feel more comfortable.

"I'll start first. Wu Tianxiong pointed back and said, "This is my staff, you can first introduce the situation of the Zhennan Army." ”

The middle-aged scribe bowed slightly, and said loudly: "In this battle, the Zhennan Army dispatched a total of 20,000 people and killed 1,000 enemies in the Western Yue group. One hundred and seven officers and men of the Zhennan Army were seriously wounded, twelve were lightly wounded, and ...... were killed in battle."

The scribe's voice trembled a little and said, "One thousand six hundred and twenty-one!"

Even if they had been mentally prepared, after hearing this number, the hearts of those present trembled slightly. The first battle took an hour and a half, and more than 10,000 people were killed in the southern army alone.

"Jian Yuanzong killed more than 1,350 monks on the other side and killed 1,832 people in battle. The scribe behind Zhang Jianqing took a deep breath and tried to make himself appear calmer, but his voice still trembled slightly, and Zhang Jianqing's cold face twitched rapidly, and his eyelids jumped rapidly. In the First World War, an hour and a half, 11,000 men were sent, and only 9,000 people returned.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jianqing with some pity. Purely in terms of numbers, it is definitely the Zhennan Army that has suffered the greatest losses, but after all, the Zhennan Army is an ordinary soldier, and the Sword Yuanzong has lost all monks. Moreover, the main reason for such a large loss was his command error, which caught the Xiyue group by surprise, and almost 1,000 people were wiped out at the beginning. This still depends on Chu Zheng's final outbreak to boost his momentum, and then he will gain the upper hand, otherwise this battle will be even more ugly.

Truman's aides said: "Trumen killed about 900 ordinary soldiers in the Xiyue tribe, about 300 Fa cultivators, about 100 congenital monks, 432 people killed in battle, and 300 people could not participate in the war in the short term. ”

Truman's losses mainly appeared in three aspects, one was stabbed to death by the pikemen guards on the Xilancang Pass, the other was the congenital backlash of the five hundred Xiyue, and the third was the attack in the sky. Truman's losses in this battle are not small, but as a monk, as long as he does not die, he can recover after a period of rest.

The staff of the Ouyang family said: "Fa Xiu killed about three hundred, and Wu Xiu killed about seventy or eighty people, it was too chaotic to count in detail at that time. The Ouyang family killed 210 people in this battle. ”

Chu Zheng said, "The men under my command killed about a hundred warriors and killed about eleven opponents. Injured two cultivators by himself. ”

No way, after all, there are few people. Being able to kill about a hundred warriors is also because it is closest to the north bank of the Lancang River, which has a close advantage, but that's all. Six or seven thousand martial cultivators besieged a thousand soldiers? Just think about it, you will know the result, and whoever strikes quickly will kill more people.

At this time, Wu Tianxiong's staff spoke: "This time, our overall result is to kill 2,000 elite soldiers of the Xiyue tribe and about 2,100 monks of the opposing side, while our side lost 10,621 soldiers and 2,476 monks. ”

Zhou Rui, who had never spoken, said with a solemn and righteous face at this time: "The first battle, and the result of such a battle under such a strong defense of the other party, it can be said that we have won." Although everyone's losses are not small, I believe that the Xiyue tribe is now even more painful. We can consume so much, they can't afford it. Of course, the reason why this battle was able to achieve such achievements is due to Chu Zheng's contributions, so I suggest that everyone should consider it in the delineation of the battle record for a while. ”

Zhang Jianqing lowered his eyelids, Chu Jizhong was secretly lucky, and Ouyang Lifan was still smiling. Although they didn't want Chu Zheng to get more combat exploits, they had nothing to say, at least they couldn't refute it.

At this time, Zhang Xianju said indifferently: "Although King Rui's proposal is very good, but in view of the particularity of this battle, it is difficult for us to count the exact results, so it is more appropriate to press the statistics of the records." ”

Zhang Xianju felt a little bitter in his heart. Don't look at what Zhou Qian said just now, but these words were discussed with him in advance. Moreover, Zhou Qian forgot that he had just added these words, and even more forgot to push the troublesome matter of record statistics to everyone.

The Great Zhou's attack on the Xiyue tribe was not an ordinary warrior attacking each other, and there were many monks among them. Naturally, it is impossible to kill a monk in the foundation building period to obtain the same combat feats as killing a monk born by the heart, and it is impossible to distinguish between a monk born in the foundation building period and a monk born in the heart by the heart in terms of clothing, let alone a corpse. Some of the corpses fell directly on the Xilancang Pass, and some were clinging to the wall, and it was impossible to catch the corpses and identify them. This is precisely the root cause of the difficulty in counting military achievements. Moreover, whether it is the plan proposed by the six major sects and the four major gate valves, or the plan proposed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all avoid this point. However, there is a negotiation mechanism in the plan of the six major sects and the four major gates, and it is always possible to find a number of combat merits that most people can accept. The plan of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not exist at all, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was also happy to see it. It's best to say that there is no military exploits, so let's go to the skin in the future, and it's best to pull out some sparks.

"Even if you press the statistics, can you get the battle exploits that everyone is convinced?" Chu Jizhong rolled his eyelids and pursed the corners of his mouth. It is simply difficult to truly convince everyone of the statistics of war exploits, and it can only be accepted by everyone. It's also because I've never encountered anything like this before. Because the previous battles were all fought separately, naturally the results of each family's actions are also very easy to count. But now it's all mixed up and can't be counted at all. Just like outside the gate of Xilancang Pass, a congenital monk may be attacked twice at the same time, who is it? Or is it a congenital of the Xiyue tribe who was seriously injured by Chumen first, and then killed by the people of the Ouyang family, how did the two of them divide their battle merits? Of course, it is even more impossible that because of the distribution of battle merits, the people of the Ouyang family cannot go up to make up for the sword. If you don't mend the knife, maybe the other party will be able to pull a Truman's back.

Wu Tianxiong snorted mockingly, "Then Senior Chu thinks how to divide the battle merits?"

Chu Jizhong snorted coldly and stopped talking. There is no good way to calculate the merits of the battle, and the method of the six major sects and the four major lords is to negotiate, but if you really negotiate here, I am afraid that it will be Chumen and Jian Yuanzong who will suffer.

"How to calculate the merits of the war is still secondary. Chu Zheng glanced at everyone and said leisurely, "Now let's think about how to capture Xilancang Pass." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly became even more solemn. The battle merit is indeed secondary, because according to the current flying method of attacking, I am afraid that the Xilancang Pass will never be able to be taken.

"What else?" Zhang Jianqing snorted coldly and glanced at Chu Jizhong coldly, "If we continue to attack like this now, all our disciples will be consumed and may be able to capture Xilancang Pass." But does that still make sense?"

"Zhang Jianqing, what are you staring at me!" Chu Jizhong stared at Zhang Jianqing with his eyebrows upside down, with an angry expression. Today I want to say that he is the most angry. Chu Zheng, a good disciple of Trumen, was forced out of Truman, which made him feel sad, angry and helpless in his heart now.

"What else can be done! The only way to attack the Western Yue Tribes is to gather all the monks to capture the two passes, instead of placing thousands of people to defend them in the Sunset Mountains for thousands of miles. ”

"Your Sword Yuan Sect is fine. Then what about me, Chumen? The purpose of attacking the Xiyue tribe is to get more resources, to develop my own clan, and the ancestral land of Chumen has been wiped out, so what is the use of my Truman taking the resources of the Xiyue tribe!"

"It's better than spending life and dying here like this! My Sword Yuan Sect lost more than 1,800 people today, how much did you Chumen lose?"

"I, Trumen, will not be so stupid, the cliffs on both sides of the Xilancang Pass are in such a good position, and my people in Chumen have long thought that the Xiyue group will deploy heavy troops. Not like some people!"

"Chu Jizhong!" Zhang Jianqing stood up.

"What do you want!" Chu Jizhong was furious, stood up and was about to rush towards Zhang Jianqing. Next to him, Ouyang Lifan, the head of the Ouyang family, hurriedly stood up and blocked between the two.

Wu Tianxiong snorted coldly, "Fight, you guys are fighting! This is the first day, you can't stand it, how many people have you lost? I only know that I am so brave and ruthless, I don't know how to command, so many people died today, and there will be more tomorrow!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Jianqing glanced at Chu Jizhong with a cold gaze, then sighed, and said a little dejectedly: "It is only possible to bypass the Xilancang Pass." Tomorrow, I will lead the disciples of the Sword Yuan Sect to the south for a hundred miles, and then pass through the Sunset Mountain Range to outflank the back road of the West Lancang Pass. ”

"Oh, that's a good idea. Wu Tianxiong said with a mocking smile, "What does Elder Zhang mean is that the monks of the Xiyue tribe on the opposite side saw that there was an opportunity, and then attacked my Lancang Pass with all their might, and finally my Lancang Pass was breached, and the blood of the 500,000 Zhennan army flowed like a river?"

Chu Jizhong also sneered at Zhang Jianqing, "Then the army of tens of thousands of monks and millions of people from the Xiyue tribe rushed into my Chufeng County?"
