Chapter 65: Retreat
"Report to the commander, the Yanchi army has begun to retreat!"
Lin Beize was overjoyed, how long had this battle been fought? It was not even half a month, and it was still a huge disparity in troops, so he ordered at the moment: "Explore again!"
"Yes!"
After a big battle, the Ice Dragon Army also suffered heavy losses, although most of the losses were caused by cannibalism in the illusion, and the rest of the people were also wounded, and the 100,000 Ice Dragon Army was able to fight again with only forty or fifty thousand people.
If the Yan Chi army continued to attack the city, it really didn't know how long it could last, but the Yan Chi army actually chose to withdraw at this time, giving the Xue Kingdom a chance to breathe.
Under the investigation of the spies, it was found that Yan Chiguo had really withdrawn his troops, and everyone was relieved.
In the past few days, Lin Yun has never been out, which is quite a sense of hidden merit and fame. In fact, he consumed too much in this battle, and he also needed to recuperate from the injuries he was injured, otherwise I am afraid that it would be easy to leave some sequelae, which would be greatly detrimental to his future cultivation.
"Commander, Commander. The thin monkey rushed into Lin Yun's room in a hurry, "The Yan Chi army has withdrawn, we have won!"
"Hmm......" Lin Yun smiled and nodded, there is a way to attack the city for the bottom and attack the heart for the top, after a big defeat, the heart of the Yan Chi army is already in chaos, morale is low, retreat is indeed the best choice.
When it comes to fighting, the aggressor and the defender are always different. The defenders fought to protect their homeland and their families, and they had to fight to the death, while the invaders lacked a reason why they had to defeat their opponents.
"It's time for us to go back. Lin Yun stood up and continued, "You tell Liang Cheng to pack up their bags, and tomorrow we will go back to Snow City." ”
The thin monkey suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he spoke: "Commander, I want to pay homage to the eldest brother and the third brother again." "When a few people passed through Panlong Town for the first time, Xiao Guang and Xiao Lei were killed by Boss Wu and the fake Xiao Luo, and Xiao Luo was nowhere to be found.
"When it's done, let's go together. Lin Yundao.
......
Lin Yun, the thin monkey, the Liang brothers, and the newly recruited Yan Ming all stood in a row, and put three sticks of incense on the two dead warriors in turn.
The thin monkey cried bitterly: "Big brother, third brother, I will find the whereabouts of my sister, and then help you take revenge, waiting for me." ”
Lin Yun was a little stunned, Xiao Guang and Xiao Lei also died for him, and he also had a share of his responsibility.
After worshipping, when several people walked out of the cemetery, Lin Yun bumped into Xuelin head-on. Xue Lin frowned, and was about to reprimand, but when he saw that it was Lin Yun, his face softened a little, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yun shrugged, "My two brothers died in Panlong Town, let's come over and pay respects." So what are you doing here?"
Xue Lin also looked stunned, and replied: "This time, the Ice Dragon Army lost tens of thousands of people, all of them are buried here, and I also came to take a look." ”
Lin Yun nodded and didn't speak again, the losses caused by the war are too big and too big, and the leader has let many innocent people lose their husbands and sons for their own selfish interests.
When there was silence, Xue Lin suddenly spoke: "Lin Yun, come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Lin Yun gave a relieved expression to the people behind him who showed a look of surprise, and followed Xuelin into the cemetery alone.
Xue Lin turned his back to Lin Yun, suddenly turned around and smiled sincerely, "Thank you this time." ”
Fighting Lin Yun knew Xuelin, and he hadn't seen the latter smile like this, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, didn't I also let you lose a lot before." ”
Xue Lin looked at Lin Yun strangely, people are like this, one thing can change the entire impression of another person.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Lin Yun hesitated, "If it's okay, I'll leave first, and I'll leave for Syracuse City tomorrow." ”
Xue Lin nodded, and he didn't keep it, he was a person who was not good at expressing himself, he would never say anything sensational, he owed others favors, and it was enough to repay it with actions.
......
Lin Yun stepped on the unicorn, clamped his legs, and walked leisurely, after the end of the war, he had a sense of joy and a sense of melancholy after the catastrophe, and the two contradictory emotions made him can't help but pour a gourd of spirits.
Lin Beize didn't go with Lin Yun, he still had a lot of affairs to deal with, and with Bai Lao accompanied, he didn't have any worries about safety.
The group walked and stopped, quite a feeling of sightseeing. Unconsciously, more than half of the journey from Panlong Town to Thunderbolt City has been completed, and I think that I will be able to reach the boundary of Thunderbolt City in two days.
"Old man, can you prepare some food for us?" Lin Yun took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man with chicken skin, this was the only place in the neighborhood, although he was relaxed, it was still necessary to eat.
The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly, withdrew it again, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Come into the house." After saying that, the old lady picked up the wooden staff on the side and went into the simple wooden house alone.
Lin Yun led everyone into the house, the wooden house was very simple, a small bed, a stove, a few simple bamboo chairs, this is all furnishings. It seems that the old man has been living alone for a long time, and the wooden house is full of dust, and there is only half a bag of food.
Looking at the old man's old appearance, Lin Yun glanced at Yan Ming, who understood, got up and said, "Grandma, let's just do it ourselves." ”
The old man didn't refuse, sighed slightly, and walked slowly to the small bed and sat down on crutches alone.
Liang Cheng frowned and looked at the small half-bag of grain, like his kind of physical cultivation, this small half-bag of grain was not enough for him to eat, and immediately said to Lin Yun: "Childe, I'll go get some game and come back." "When they go out, in order to hide their identity, Liang Cheng and others almost all call Lin Yun their son.
Lin Yun nodded, the old man had a hard life, and they were indeed embarrassed to take advantage of her again.
Idle and bored, seeing that the old man couldn't stop sighing, Lin Yun talked to the old man: "Old man, this year's longevity?"
The old lady sighed again and replied in a slightly dialect-like Mandarin: "The old man is eighty-eight years old. ”
Lin Yun sighed slightly, like an old guy like the old man of Chihuo, his age is estimated to be hundreds of years old, and he is still alive and well, and these ordinary people are only eighty-eight years old, and it is difficult to even walk, and he inadvertently asked, "What about your children." ”
The old lady coughed, "I died during the war." ”
Lin Yun couldn't help but be silent, the Hail Snow Country had been fighting for many years, and if the troops were insufficient, they could only forcibly recruit some people into the army, how could those high-ranking kings and monks feel the suffering of these ordinary people? Compared to it, the common people of Anbei City lived a comfortable life.
The old lady was just an ordinary person, and she didn't think as much as Lin Yun, and sighed: "My poor son, who didn't even get a daughter-in-law, died on the battlefield...... The white-haired man sends the black-haired man ......" Two cloudy tears fell from the old man's wrinkled face.
Lin Yun continued to be silent, he would rather not know anything, sometimes the more he knew, the more troubles he had. At this time, he thought of Mo Bing'er, no wonder Mo Bing'er hated fighting and killing so much.
Liang Cheng soon came in from outside the house carrying all kinds of game, he was originally a hunter, and hunting was as simple as eating and drinking water for him.
Hearing the old man's words, everyone was not interested in eating and drinking, but Liang Cheng, who didn't hear this, ate very well, and soon emptied the meal like a storm.
After eating, Lin Yun quietly put the silver on the stove and led everyone out of the wooden house.
Where there are people, there will be fighting, and there is nothing wrong with war, but it is the people who start the war that put the people in dire straits for their own selfish interests.
Two days passed in a flash, and everyone saw the magnificent outline of Snow City from afar, and finally arrived at their destination. Lin Yun's heart gradually became hot, he only felt that he had a lot to say to Mo Bing'er, to Mo Zixun.
When you return from victory, you will inevitably be rewarded. The Hail Snow King even wanted to personally set up a banquet to entertain Lin Yun, and the princes and princes from all walks of life also wooed each other, but Lin Yun resigned one by one, the relationship between the Mo family and the Hail Snow King was tense, and he didn't want to risk the world's disapproval to get close to the Hail Snow King.
After returning to Mofu, Lin Yun got the news that Mo Bing'er's fire poison broke out, and he was protected by a group of masters to go to the northland pathogen to cultivate and suppress the fire poison.
Lin Yun couldn't help but have a few question marks floating in his heart, didn't Mo Zixun set up the Five Elements Seal for Mo Bing'er? Or do you want to observe the effect of the Five Elements Seal again?
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Yun also gave up thinking, his master's work was always unfathomable, and it was impossible for him to figure out the master's true intentions.
The Snow Eagle Guard, which Li Bo asked Lin Yun to take over, was also pulled onto the battlefield by Mo Zixun, so during this time, Lin Yun was destined to have nothing to do.
So after returning to Mofu, Lin Yun began to retreat, during this time, because of the needs of the battle, he unlocked the seal of the five elements many times, and repeatedly squandered his mana, which was the time when he needed to comprehend and sort out his experience.
Combat is the best breakthrough for people, and Lin Yun has repeatedly brushed shoulders with death, which has also improved his strength a lot. Of course, this improvement is not only reflected in the realm, but also in the actual combat ability.
Liang Cheng and others, who returned with Lin Yun, also chose to retreat. The two brothers of the Liang family were originally at the peak of the third layer of Qi cultivation, and they wanted to make another breakthrough.
But Thin Monkey and Yan Ming have become very good friends, and the two also have their own pursuits, and they also want to make breakthroughs in a short period of time.
This retreat was nearly a month, and there was nothing that could make Lin Yun pay attention to it during this period, and Mo Zixun never returned from the Yiqi front line.
On this day after a month of retreat, Lin Yun finally stopped cultivating, for no other reason, he had already reached the peak of the fourth layer of qi training, and he was about to break through to the fifth layer of qi cultivation in one go.
