Chapter 68 Such mountains and rivers
Even Qianye could see that this was a strategic mistake at all, but Lin Shuai's battle plan itself was fine, and Song Zining had deduced it many times according to the changes in the battle situation in the early stage, and he did not find any loopholes.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and even if 10 sets of alternative plans are written, one of them must be selected and implemented in the end, and constantly adjusted according to the actual situation on the battlefield.
So who is in charge of intelligence and coordination? Qianye thought with a solemn expression.
The news on Wei Guogong's side was more and more detailed than that of the generals of the Eastern Route Army, and Qianye and Song Zining roughly understood that at the most critical moment, Lin Shuai came to reorganize the strategy, and at the same time, the main mobile fleet and duke-level powerhouses in the outer space of Eternal Night suddenly disappeared, which led to the complete reversal of the floating land battle.
Hearing this, Song Zining glanced at Qianye, and Qianye was pondering.
At this moment, Qianye is not as calm as his face, and his heart is a little tight, not to mention Lin Shuai's strong ability to command the army, but this time it sounds a little mysterious, Yongye's combat power investment ratio on several local battlefields has reached an exaggerated point, no matter how strong Lin Shuai is, it is impossible to turn the gap in absolute strength upside down.
This battle on the floating land has drained all the mobile forces of the empire, and the gathered military strength is no longer strong. However, the Eternal Night side actually put far more troops than usual, and also organized a targeted siege and killing of the main generals on the imperial side, which should be affected by the cessation of their civil war in order to free up excess troops.
After all, why fight this floating war in this obviously unfavorable situation?
Of course, Wei Guogong knew more than he said, such as the right minister was killed by Lin Xitang. It's not a good thing to kill the generals before the battle, Wei Guogong himself didn't figure out what was going on, and he wouldn't talk too much in front of the two juniors.
Next, Wei Guogong was a little vague, as if he didn't want to talk about it deeply.
Song Zining asked about Wei Guogong's next plans. At this moment, the reinforcements of the middle and east roads have penetrated the floating land and converged in Baicheng, and Wei Guogong has the highest status, so he naturally took over the command. He planned to leave one unit behind to garrison and clear the battlefield in White City, while the main force was to continue northward and control the last airship base and the surrounding area.
At present, the remnants of the troops on the floating land of Eternal Night have been cut off from retreat, and a small part of the transport fleet that broke into the floating land has fled, and most of them have been destroyed on the way to escape. It was a foregone conclusion that all the remnants of the army that had lost their ability to move in the air would be annihilated.
In Wei Guogong's view, the battle of floating land was over by this time.
After sending off Wei Guogong, Qianye has been pondering, faintly feeling that he has caught something, but he doesn't know clearly. Suddenly thinking of the news I learned before the war, the court attacked Lin Xitang, so that the right minister coordinated to let him come up with this set of combat plans.
Lin Shuai did not participate in the battle at first, but suddenly appeared at the most critical time of the battle. Qianye counted the known things one by one in his heart, and somehow, he thought of the vision of the stars falling like rain just now, and his face suddenly changed.
He turned to Song Zining and asked, "How can you confirm what you just deferred?"
Song Zining wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed: "Since Lin Shuai has come to Fulu, now that the communication between our armies has returned to normal, no matter whether it is good news or bad news, we will know." ”
Qianye Huo Ran stood up, "I'll take a look." ”
Song Zining grabbed him, "Where are you going to look, how is the blood on your body?"
With the help of the Book of Black, Qianye's blood and qi broke through two orders in a row, and he was already the realm of the vice duke, and he was the vice duke of the ancient blood clan. How can there be no price for such a zealous breakthrough? He didn't feel the blood at all in this big rank breakthrough, only the overwhelming influx of dark force, bringing incomparably powerful power, and at the same time, it also brought a thick darkness like substance. The balance of darkness and dawn in the body is at stake.
Fortunately, after the Thousand Nights promotion, Bai Cheng was unexpectedly calm, and there was no danger that required him to make a full move, and he could barely control those violent dark forces. However, no one can predict what will happen after Xuanyao's balance is broken.
Song Zining saw that Qianye Meiyu was insisting, and couldn't help but use his strength to hold him tightly, "In all the news, Lin Shuai has not officially participated in the battle on any battlefield, where are you going to find him?
Qianye couldn't help but stiffen, once his current duke-level Dark Force went berserk, the exploding Force wave could raze a fortress. If the Force runs away in front of Lin Shuai, no matter what the final result is, he will be seriously injured, right?
Song Zining sighed and said, "Just wait for the night." After dawn tomorrow, the floating land war situation should probably subside, and we will send him a letter through the military liaison channel, and Lin Shuai will reply to the message if it is convenient. ”
Qianye knew that what Song Zining said was true, but it was still difficult to suppress the anxiety in her heart. It seems that so many years of depression and longing have burned the prairie together at this moment, burning him to the edge of his place.
The next morning, when Qianye woke up in the tent, he was still not used to the night without the sound of gunfire. He walked out of the tent, it was just getting light, but the barracks was already busy. The soldiers left behind by Wei Guogong are cleaning up the battlefield of Baicheng. It's a small city, but it's piled up with more than 150,000 corpses. When clearing the rubble, it is often the case that a layer of corpses is dug up, and there is a layer of corpses underneath.
The surviving warriors stared blankly at the piles of corpses that were gradually rising. Many of them were their original comrades, but now they could only wait and be dealt with like the dark race, and could not be brought back to their homeland. Even if the East Route and the Middle Route Army were combined, there would not be extra troops to deal with so many corpses one by one.
Qianye walked out of the barracks, climbed a makeshift watchtower, and looked at the ruined White City again. Before that, he had never imagined that it would be so tragic.
Although Qianye is not very old, he is really experienced in a hundred battles, and he has fought more than once in life and death. It's just that most of the battles he participated in were strong battles, even on the big battlefield, he was in one of them, and in the vast wilderness, the 100,000-level battle was not so thrilling. This time, hundreds of thousands of corpses were laid in a small city, and almost all the bones alone could restore the city.
In the middle of the ruins, Imperial warriors were digging, constantly carrying corpses from inside, identifying their races, cleaning up the relics, and then transporting them to the open space outside the city to pile them up. There is a special area for the corpses of Imperial soldiers, and the dark race is thrown into a large pit dug in advance.
Qianye's gaze suddenly fell on a person.
The man walked across, across the entire White City, towards the Thousand Nights.
Qianye suddenly noticed him when he had already walked into the middle of the city. And when he appeared and when he entered the White City, Qianye was completely at a loss. Even now, Chiya understands that it is only this person who wants to see him for himself to be able to notice his existence.
Even if his strength jumped a big rank at this moment, Qianye felt like he had returned to the time when he first saw him, feeling that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him at all, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people with such strength.
Thousand Nights jumped to the ground and waited respectfully in place.
The man didn't delay, he arrived in front of Qianye in one step, looked him up and down, and said lightly: "There has been progress in strength, but how did you get so black? You and I are not affiliated at the moment, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Qianye said: "My respect, first, I respect His Highness's meritorious deeds for the human race, and second, because of Lin Shuai, you are also my elder." ”
The person who came was Zhang Boqian, the king of Qingyang. Hearing Qianye say this, he nodded slightly and said, "It's really good, no wonder Xitang values you so much." I'm just here to see you, I won't stay for long, the war on the mainland of the empire is not completely over, if I leave for a long time, maybe something will happen. ”
"There is also a war on the mainland of the empire?" "Qianye was taken aback.
Zhang Boqian snorted and said, "It's just a bloody funeral, what new tricks can there be?" Maybe it's because I didn't beat them hard enough in the past, and I still have to test them. ”
When Qianye heard the bloody funeral, he couldn't help but be stunned, "This, could it be the fall of the Immortal King?" Judging from the current situation of several imperial kings, if there is no accident, it should be him who falls, and I don't want him to go to great lengths to collect so many life-prolonging things, but he still can't last long.
The people of Great Qin may not experience a bloody funeral in their lifetime, but they will all firmly remember that it is a tentative attack that will be launched by the eternal night when the emperor of the empire alternates, and if it is not handled well, it will turn into a real battle of survival at any time. It's just that Qianye didn't expect that it was amazing for Yongye to invest such troops in the floating land, and he would actually start a war on two fronts in the Great Qin mainland.
Hearing the name of the Immortal King, a cold light flashed in Zhang Boqian's eyes, and he said slowly: "Naturally, it's him." If he hadn't died quickly, I'm afraid I'd have had to send him on his way with my own hands!"
This is an absolute secret, the kings of heaven are fighting for their lives to the point of fighting for their lives, and Qianye is even more surprised, and he doesn't know how to ask questions for a while.
Zhang Boqian glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for him, how could Fulu be like this?" Cointreau wouldn't have been so seriously injured, and Xitang wouldn't have ......."
Qianye's heart trembled, and even her voice was a little sharp, "What's wrong with my father?!"
"Xitang rearranged the floating land with his own strength, swept the courtyard inside, and rejected the strong enemy outside. So you survived. But the price of doing so is himself. ”
The bad news confirmed.
Qianye only felt an extremely cold air, piercing his whole body from head to toe, and he couldn't tell where the pain was faintly for a while. There are no tears in great sorrow, no words in great enlightenment, he doesn't even feel sadness or anger at the moment, only one pain after another, endlessly, and finally falls into the missing blank in his heart.
He looked up at the majestic man in front of him, this heavenly king in his prime was different from the past, and he was no longer so sharp that he almost wanted to hurt people's fierce momentum, but he had the intention of returning to the basics, just like an ancient divine soldier in a sealed box, and the light was full of power and power.
There was a hint of loneliness hidden under Zhang Boqian's calm face. Lin Xitang has been as famous as him for many years, and the empire has been fighting for more than 30 years from the army to the court. Until Zhang Boqian became the king of heaven, Lin Xitang's reputation did not seem to be left behind.
However, in the few limited contacts with Zhang Boqian, Qianye has vaguely realized that these two people should be friends and enemies. Behind his care by King Qingyang, there is the shadow of Lin Xitang. Now that the once glorious empire no longer exists, no one knows what Zhang Boqian feels in his heart at the moment.
I don't know how long it took for there to be something other than pain in the numb and pale world of a thousand nights, and grief swept through like a tide, leaving only one heart, as cold and calm as extreme ice, and there was a fire burning on the ice.
He silently savored Zhang Boqian's words, and found that there was a deep meaning in them, so he asked: "What do you mean by sweeping the courtyard inside?"
Zhang Boqian said: "This matter is not a big secret. When Xitang returned to Fulu, the first thing he did was to punish the right minister. ”
"Right Phase, Immortal King ......"
After listening to Zhang Boqian's words, Qianye knew that the masterminds of this series had been ambushed at this moment, and their wings were being cleaned one by one.
The fire in his chest suddenly froze, like stepping on a cliff, and there was no strength in the air. Can't even avenge that person with his own hands? Qianye's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't know where to send out a cloud of evil qi.
However, this is also the way of the thousand-year-old empire to this day, this behemoth is destined to be tortuous, bumpy, and stumbling, when the ancestors started in the dark, no one knows where the right path is, and even if people's hearts are turned to the back, there are still thousands of differences. Only by making mistakes and self-correcting like this, introspecting and correcting, and sticking to the original intention, can we unite hundreds of millions of people and open up and protect the land of dawn.
Qianye let out a long breath, "When my father-in-law leaves, do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhang Boqian was silent for a while, and said, "When he left, he was in the Demon Emperor Realm, and no one even on the Eternal Night Fleet present saw him pass by. ”
This night, Zhang Boqian chased straight to the edge of the upper continent and intercepted an eternal night fleet that participated in the roundup of Lin Xitang, but in the last battle, the Demon Emperor realm covered the void, and even those eternal night nobles were all plunged into a dark without light and sound, and no one could say what had happened.
The Demon Emperor! It was actually the Dark Holy Mountain who personally attacked?! Qianye was shocked, took a deep breath, and his eyes jumped bloody.
Zhang Boqian shook his head and said, "Xitang is a human being, and his love is ruthless. He has too many things to do in his life, maybe he just regrets that he doesn't have enough time, and he can't say who he remembers in his heart. So after he's gone, I'll come and see you. ”
At this moment, Qianye was speechless, trying to raise his head to look at the sky, as if he saw the vision of the sky last night, and there were stars falling like rain.
Since Huangquan, Qianye has never seen Lin Xitang in person, and every time there seems to be a reason not to see him.
Qianye was also worried about whether his father-in-law had already given up on him, after all, he was not the first child Lin Xitang rescued, nor was he the last. He is so ordinary and ordinary, what is there that can make that peerless person look at him differently?
After learning more and more about Lin Xitang from the mouths of others, Qianye found that this person was more open-minded than he could imagine.
However, although Lin Xitang's heirs were not prosperous, he gave him the surname Lin, called Yizi, and there was only one person in Qianye. Qianye is not stupid, even if he can't see each other, there is still a trickle that makes him feel the tenderness from that person.
Now that Zhang Boqian came to visit in person when the situation was so tight, Qianye really understood his weight in Lin Xitang's heart.
But it was too late.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Boqian said: "Where to go in the future, have you thought about it?"
Qianye's heart was blank, and he stayed for a while, and said blankly: "Since the culprit has been ambushed, there seems to be nothing to do with me on the side of the empire." ”
Zhang Boqian interrupted: "The right phase is not the first, and it will not be the last. The Immortal King may be the same, how can it be said that there is nothing wrong with you?"
A thousand nights were stunned.
Zhang Boqian's voice softened slightly, and said, "Whether it is Xitang, me, and some people you have seen or have not seen, they all think that you have never fallen into darkness. ”
After a pause, Zhang Boqian said again: "However, you will do your best for the human race, and you don't need to be in the empire." I don't want you to be like Xitang, thinking about the overall situation in everything and completely forgetting yourself. For a person like Xitang, one is enough. ”
This is obvious enough, but the taste of the last sentence is too complicated, and it seems to be clear for a while, and it is difficult to fully comprehend it.
Speaking of this, Zhang Boqian suddenly felt a little depressed, and said slowly: "I should also go." But before that, I have to do my best for him. ”
After that, Zhang Boqian raised his hand and punched it lightly and skillfully in Qianye's heart!
This blow was not fast, but Qianye couldn't dodge it, so he could only watch King Qingyang punch at his blood core!
Even if the King of Qingyang slaps it casually, he has the power to open mountains and split stones. Qianye's blood core was shattered by this punch, and once again turned into countless crystals, being pulled by the surrounding flesh and blood, barely maintaining the appearance of a blood core.
Under one blow, Qianye was seriously injured. Is it a trivial matter if the blood core is damaged? His blood and qi fell again and again, and in the blink of an eye, he fell from the rank of vice-duke, and he could stop at the edge of the Marquis of Glory, and did not fall into the Marquis of Strength.
Qianye took a few steps back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. But instead of being angry, he was happy, and said, "Thank you King Qingyang!"
Zhang Boqian's punch was extremely wonderful, shattering the blood core of Qianye, but it was injured but not disabled, as long as he rested for a while, with the recovery power of the Qianye Blood Clan's physique, the blood core could be completely recovered, and there would be no future troubles. However, the blood and qi realm of Qianye was defeated by life, and the worries of the Xuanyao imbalance of the Song Clan's ancient scrolls were avoided. Perhaps only a hero like King Qingyang would have such a rebellious measure.
Zhang Boqian took out a few more manuscripts, handed them to Qianye, and said, "This is a little bit of my experience, maybe it will be useful to you." When you're fine, you can take a look. ”
Qianye took it, and the first page in the eye was five big words: Taixuan Soldier Strategy!
"This ......"
"This trick was originally left by Wu Zu, but it has not been completed. In my early years, I also practiced the art of warfare, and later switched to other exercises. Recently, I had nothing to do, so I picked it up again, and I had some new experiences, adding something to the martial ancestor. ”
Zhang Boqian said it lightly, but Qianye knew how precious this Taixuan Soldier Technique that he had completed was.
According to historical records alone, there are only a few people who have cultivated the military battle technique to the end of fifty rounds. Zhang Valve has his own road to heaven, and Zhang Boqian actually no longer needs military skills. To pick up this thing again at this moment, it should be completely made for a thousand nights.
A few pages of manuscript are heavy.
Qianye put away the manuscript with great importance, and Zhang Boqian said: "You are Xitang's child, you don't have to call me a title in the future." If you want, just call me Shibo. ”
After that, Zhang Boqian looked around, sighed again, and said "such mountains and rivers", and then stepped into the air and flew away.
If it is not worth it, why are so many people going forward to follow suit?
Qianye stood in place, thinking about all kinds of past events, and was stupid for a while.
The Terrans have been walking in the endless darkness of this eternal night world for thousands of years, and they did not see a glimmer of light until 1,200 years ago. The pioneers have overcome all obstacles, and the successors have passed on the torch, and the blue wisps of the road have been passed down to this day, and the spark is about to burn the prairie fire.
There has never been a right without sacrifice, and there has never been a dignity without bloodshed. The deceased heroes and martyrs are recorded in the monument, relatives or remaining sorrowful, and the living only sing long songs and cry.
