Because, Qin Lan's retreat is not just for the comrades around her.

She also wanted to let those comrades-in-arms who stayed in the battle formation hear it, so that they could understand what Qin Lan meant.

Qin Lan was telling them that we had failed, so we had to retreat, and the priority of all of them was not to fight to the death, not to kill the enemy, the only thing they had to do now was to stay alive and retreat.

Qin Lan didn't really give up on them.

After giving the order, Qin Lan quickly left the battlefield with a dozen people around him, fled to a small hill thirty miles away, and waited quietly.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Qin Lan saw a female warrior running over quickly with bruises all over her body.

Then there was second place, third place......

When half an hour had passed, the troops had regrouped, and Qin Lan carefully counted the number of people, and those present were a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people.

And this force, the original number, plus the two sisters Qin Lan and Bai Xueqing, was a total of two hundred and three people.

In other words, in the past two months, they have never lost anything, and in this battle, they have sacrificed sixty-six soldiers.

Despite this, everyone was relieved, because they thought that they would sacrifice more.

In fact, those soldiers who did not rush out for the first time, faced with an enemy dozens of times their own, and the sophisticated battle formation, they had already given up hope of survival.

It was Qin Lan's last evacuation order that made them understand that the commander had not given up on them yet, and the commander hoped that they would return alive.

Looking at the female warriors who were covered in bruises but still stood up straight, Bai Xueqing slowly walked to Qin Lan's side, and then said with great sincerity: "Thank you." ”

Bai Xueqing and Bai Xuefeng, as well as everyone in this army except Qin Lan, called Feng Qingshi the master.

This means that they are just a weapon to seal the bluestone, they can even give their lives for the sealing of the bluestone, they can abandon their personal feelings, so at that time, Bai Xueqing and the others made the most correct choice, gave up other comrades-in-arms and evacuated immediately.

But a living person, in the final analysis, still can't really abandon feelings.

This thank you was said by Bai Xueqing for the sisters who rushed out alive.

Qin Lan nodded at Bai Xueqing and gave a gentle sigh.

Then, Qin Lan turned around and looked into the distance, looking at the same white heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Qin Lan's expression froze, and she turned her head to look at a small hill thousands of meters away, only to see that on top of that hill, a man was standing with his hands in his hands, also looking at her.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other thousands of meters apart, and Qin Lan's heartbeat gradually accelerated.

"Qin Zheng, it's him again, why does he always appear? Is he looking at me? Is it really as Sister Tong said, did I know Qin Zheng once? But why can't I remember at all, who is he, who is me? Qin Lan's heart fluttered, thinking.

"Wait for me to ......" Qin Zheng said softly to Qin Lan who was thousands of kilometers away with a gentle smile on his face.

Although the voice did not come, Qin Lan saw Qin Zheng's mouth shape, and she saw what Qin Zheng was going to say, but she didn't know what those two words represented.

On the other side, Li Mu and Xiang Yunfeng finally ended the battle.

Looking at the corpses lying on the snow, Li Mu frowned slightly.

Hearing the footsteps, Li Mu had already opened his mouth and asked, "Have the casualties been counted?" ”

"Yes, a total of 66 enemies were killed in this battle, and our army was killed more than 300 and wounded more than 1,000."

Li Mu looked at the women who died in battle, and said in a deep voice: "Our army has 5,000 Canglong security, 7,000 Wang family troops, and is equipped with the way of the military formation, but only achieved such results. ”

"Mr. Li, what should we do with these corpses?"

"Thick burial."

The soldier of the Canglong Group immediately nodded, turned around and gave an order aloud: "Make a record of the dead of our army, sort out their appearance one by one, bury them, and put the corpses of the enemy in one place and incinerate them." ”

"Huh?" Li Mu turned his head and glared at the other party.

"Mr. Li, did I say something wrong?"

"All of them are well buried, and so are the enemy soldiers, they are warriors worthy of respect."

"But they're enemies after all."

Mu Li let out a long sigh: "Yes, the enemy, but the enemy is not an enemy, we just have different positions and beliefs, and fight for it, the warrior is just a weapon, there is no good and evil in war, even if there is, it is not the fault of the soldiers." ”

Walking through the battlefield step by step, Li Mu could clearly see that the faces of some of the sacrificed soldiers had not yet faded from immaturity, some of them were just teenagers under the age of twenty, and some were just young girls.

At this moment, after the battle, Li Mu looked at those corpses, his mood was extremely complicated, and he couldn't bear it.

Although Li Mu has experienced many battles and killed many people, people often say that if you do one thing too much, you will slowly get used to it.

But there are some things, no matter how much you do, you can't get used to it, unless you can throw away your humanity.

In this tragic battlefield, Li Mu gradually understood how heavy the things he was carrying.

In the past, he was still talking to Qin Zheng about his plan in the car, and at that time, he also understood that his poison plan would kill tens of thousands of people, and at that time, those lives were just a data, so he could say it very easily, and he could say it without caring about himself.

And only today did he understand that hundreds of corpses could stain the ten-mile snow field red, and those corpses were so shocking.

When fighting, Li Mu has always been the calmest, most composed, and most cold-blooded person, because he clearly knows that only in this way can he win the battle, end the battle faster, and make his own people sacrifice less.

Therefore, when he fought on the battlefield, he was extremely cold-blooded and cruel, and in order to win, he did not compromise his means, and if he could kill a thousand enemies, he would never kill only eight hundred.

But after the war, he felt sorry for the soldiers who died.

Some people may think that Li Mu's mentality is completely contradictory, but because of this, he is a living person with a soul.

The human heart is inherently contradictory.

"Li Mu, what's wrong with you kid?" He Penghui stepped forward with a knife and asked with a big grin.

"Nothing."

"Oh, I've collected my troops and returned to the camp, and I haven't eaten anything to ambush them."

"Let's go." Li Mu responded and followed the large army towards the camp.

He Penghui looked at Li Mu suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" It feels like your expression is weird. ”

Li Mu looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "I may understand the reason why the boss asked me to come to the front line in person." ”

He Penghui scratched his head and asked casually, "What is the reason?" ”

"A military advisor who thinks behind closed doors and sits on the ground and draws formations only knows how to talk about strategy, calculate benefits and gains and losses, and war is just a thought and speech for him, and he can talk about it easily, but he will never know how heavy the weight behind it is."
