Section 597 - Three Strategies
In the battle with the Westerners, the casualties of the warlock army were not small, and the credit was also not small.
Although there is a suspicion of trespassing, the relationship between the Lord of the Heavenly Palace and Her Majesty the Empress does not seem to be a big problem, but it saves the imperial court a lot of burden.
Dao cultivation materials are expensive and rare, accounting for a considerable proportion of military resources, and for the Heavenly Palace, it is just a drop in the dime.
There was a steady stream of magic elixirs refined from countless strange flowers and plants in Langya Heavenly Blessed Land, and even a small spiritual vein of spiritual energy condensation crystals was discovered, and a little bit was given to these warlocks, which was more than enough.
What's more, in the transaction between the Heavenly Palace and the Five Palaces and Seven Sects, he made a lot of money, and in terms of the richness of the family, it was no longer inferior to any of the Five Palaces and Seven Sects.
After passing the word in the letter bee box, a Heavenly Palace Warlock soon sent a reward, which was cashed on the spot, much to the delight of the Warlock Army Warlocks who survived the Great War.
The more than 600 warlocks who can survive are no longer a rabble, they can be regarded as relatively elite, even if they start a war with the Westerner saints, they will not be in a chaotic battle.
The battlefield stretched for dozens of miles with dead and wounded, and the wounded camp was overcrowded with people who expanded again and again, and the sudden decisive battle made all the doctors and soldiers scramble, and they had to temporarily replenish the people and soldiers, and barely opened up.
The suture and debridement techniques that Li Xiaobai once left behind in the Thousand Pheasant Army have spread among the various Zhichong Prefecture armies, and several large pots of herbal water are boiled every day for backup, as well as countless sheep intestines, fine cotton threads, spirits and propolis.
Although the wounded camp was shouting and mourning, the busy doctors still quickly dealt with one wound after another, fortunately, they were all knife wounds, debridement, suturing and hemostasis and inflammation, and the rest was to rely on their luck to fight for their lives, under the fixed process, but they were busy but not chaotic.
The whole camp was bloody, and the aroma of herbs was mixed with the essence, and there was also a hint of sweet fragrance of honey.
There are a large number of wounded soldiers to practice, and the apprentices have made great progress in their promotion, and after sewing more than 100 people in a row, the craft is considered to be out of the division, and more skillful and brain-working soldiers have been recruited to help, and more temporary apprentices have been brought out.
Forced by reality, the soldiers of the Great Wu Dynasty had to improve their ability to deal with the injured in this way.
Fortunately, with Li Xiaobai's notification, the Heavenly Palace, which had been prepared for a long time, assisted a batch of precious Dao elixirs, which greatly increased the chances of survival of these wounded soldiers of the Great Martial Dynasty, but the wounds could be healed, but there was no way for the lost organs and tissues to grow back.
However, even if Tiangong had such an elixir, it would not be able to satisfy all the war wounds and disabilities.
After taking off the bloodstained golden armor, Li Xiaobai came to the Chinese army's tent wearing a light fish scale armor after bathing and changing clothes.
Nearly half of the generals who remained in the tent were missing, and even the "broken army" Widow Jiao of the Royal Secret Department was not present, and as soon as he entered, he heard the loud voice of Old Man Deng.
"You're a good boy, you almost didn't break the sky. ”
There are so many less, and the lord is all thanks to Li Xiaobai.
Some of the Zhichong Commanders sent troops to collect their troops and horses, some of them continued to lead their troops to pursue the remnants of the Westerners, and a small number of Commanders died on the battlefield and could never return to the Chinese Army's tent.
Among the more than a million chaotic troops on both sides, any accident can happen, and it is difficult for these generals to avoid the end of the general's death in a hundred battles.
"It was just an accident!"
Li Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders a little awkwardly.
This big battle started by him, at the beginning it was just a battle, but he didn't expect to trigger a confrontation between the two sides for several days of decisive battle, although the Westerners were defeated, heavy casualties, the Dawu Dynasty was also caught off guard, and the chaotic Yi Jiang Yu Yong chased the poor Kou, and in the end almost lost control, and finally hid his position.
After all, it is an army of one million, and even if there is an order from the letter bee box and the command is strengthened, it still can't help but keep up with the rapid changes in the local situation on the battlefield, and all kinds of accidents occur frequently.
After making Li Xiaobai happy, Old Man Deng's face sank, and he shouted loudly: "Captain Li, you are guilty!"
The generals who were originally smiling in the tent immediately put away their smiles, some people gloated, some people were expressionless, and some people shook their heads and sighed.
"The last will be convicted!"
Regarding Jing Guogong's sudden attack, Li Xiaobai had already expected it.
Although he can mess around, the authority of the coach still needs to be maintained, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
"Just know the guilt, come here! Strip off the armor and re-lash the military staff with three hundred!"
Jing Guogong's disposition is also a quick knife to cut through the mess, and military law is engaged.
"Old man, is this too heavy?"
The sealing of the wolf Dao made Lin Mian not here, but there was still someone to speak for Li Xiaobai, and it was Chen Hulei, the prince of Zhongguo, who spoke.
The military staff is not a small stick that the county lord whips the eggs of Diao Min's buttocks, but a big stick as thick as a goose egg, mostly made of jujube wood or elm, soaked with tung oil, and killed by the military man with a big waist and a round waist to pick up enough strength, with a stick of tiger and tiger evil wind, the skin is open on the spot, and the good people can't stand it.
Usually ten canes can make a man who is beaten with iron cry and call his mother, twenty canes can make people unable to get off the ground for three months, and forty zhang directly kills.
Three hundred rods?! That's enough to kill people seven or eight times.
Is it possible for the old man to have a life-and-death enmity with this Li family Xiaolang, as for being so ruthless?
The other generals also looked at each other, not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, even for the sake of the empress, a few strokes of the gentle and painless rod would be regarded as a formality, why should human lives be necessary.
However, the other country opened his mouth, and the others were no longer easy to speak, and waited and watched one by one, if even the loyal prince could not stop them, they would intercede together.
Jing Guogong ignored Zhongguo Gong, and still shouted unceremoniously: "Three hundred rods, Li Xiaolang, are you convinced?"
"The last general is convinced!"
Li Xiaobai didn't say a word, immediately took off a piece of fish scale armor, only a single layer of clothing was left, and under the dumbfounded gaze of the generals, he strode out of the tent, ready to receive the three hundred heavy military staffs.
Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
The grandfather beats Xiaolang, and he is also willing to fight and suffer.
When the first dull sound of the rod hit came into the big tent, everyone remembered that the other party was still the master of the Heavenly Palace, and he was on an equal footing with the five palaces and seven sects.
Isn't it a hornet's nest to whip such a character with a military staff like this?
Someone peeked to see Jing Guogong's reaction, but he was calm and relaxed, not worried at all, and immediately froze.
Military law is strict, and no one is exempt.
"One, two, three, four......"
The position of the cane strike is particular, the head, waist and calves cannot be moved, the head is dead, the waist is paralyzed, and the calf is disabled, unless it is deliberately to kill people alive, basically they will not greet these three places.
Li Xiaobai took off his shirt, leaving a pair of calf-nosed shorts to stand there, letting two big sticks with eyebrows as thick as goose eggs greet his back and ass again and again.
After only a dozen strokes, the two soldiers began to sweat, and they did not spare their hands at all, and exerted their strength to feed, but as if they were wheeled on a sandbag, the person who received the staff stood still, and looked into the distance with a calm and relaxed spirit, as if the military staff had hit someone else.
The two soldiers who cast the staff were secretly frightened, and no matter where the staff was hit, there was no skin or flesh at all, and they did not hear the screams, leaving only a faint red mark, but as the staff left, the red mark quickly became lighter, and completely returned to its original color before the next cane strike.
The military man was already covered in stinky sweat, but Li Xiaobai didn't care, the shocking one hundred canes, two hundred canes, and three hundred canes were picked on his body, just like a dog's tail grass touched a few times without pain, until the three hundred were counted, and the military men who applied the cane were changed several batches, and his body was completely unharmed, as if he had never been hit by a military staff.
After the implementation of the military law, Li Xiaobai, who had been re-draped, held his head high and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army with steady steps, and the generals realized that this lord of the heavenly palace was originally fearless, which made people worry in vain, I am afraid that if there are hundreds of rods, he will still be safe and sound.
As a real martial arts Guiyuan realm powerhouse, Jing Guogong couldn't see the pure Gang Qi faintly emanating from Li Xiaobai's body, if it wasn't confirmed that he couldn't achieve Gang Qi self-restraint, he was still a martial arts cultivator in the Mortal Realm, and most of them would regard this kid as a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse.
Even if he has not practiced the Thirteen Taibao's Vajra horizontal kung fu, the martial artists who have cultivated to reach the realm of transformation are different from ordinary people, and they can completely ignore the heavy blows of ordinary military staffs, coupled with the protection of their qi, even if they are replaced with iron rods, the result will not change in any way.
This tacit understanding between the old and the young is completely impossible for outsiders to figure out.
The three hundred military staff were exchanged for Li Xiaobai's cooperation to kill chickens and monkeys, so that the whole army would not be hot-headed because of the defeat of the Westerners, and once again remembered that military law was ruthless, and not everyone could afford these three hundred rods.
Adding a string to the brain is conducive to the smooth flow of military orders, and no one dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
The great rebellion that the Jingguo Mansion had taught to Her Majesty the Empress, Jing Guogong knew that he could not use common sense to consider this young man, and now it seems that his understanding of him is completely correct.
"How's the damage to the Warlock Army, can you fight again?"
Jing Guogong was very worried that the previous battle had completely rendered the Warlock Army completely ineffective, and he and the other generals had never seen Warlocks constantly falling from the sky like dumplings, which also frightened many people.
Although the Eastern Earth Shudao does not take the secular dynasty in its eyes, and even this time it is only out of self-interest, but in order to deal with the Westerners Holy Court, it still has to rely on the people in the Shudao.
If the warlock suffers too many casualties, when he fights with the Westerner saint again, the results he has achieved so far will eventually become a flower in the water, and the moon in the mirror.
On the other hand, Jing Guogong was also worried that these warlocks and lions would open their mouths and overwhelm the imperial court that organized a million-strong army to fight the Westerners.
"Although the old man is relieved and full of morale, he can still fight, and my Heavenly Palace has already rewarded him. ”
Li Xiaobai can guess the subtext of Jing Guogong and talk to the old and spicy smart person, others listen to it in the clouds, but the two can tacitly understand each other.
"Thanks to Xiaolang's help. ”
Jing Guogong finally put his mind at ease, and he could save a lot of money, so that the casualties of the soldiers could receive generous pensions, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and fight again with the Westerners.
In many cases, money and food are equivalent to morale and combat power, although the warlock's spells are convenient, but the cost of worship and reward is too great, and there will not be a few warlock battalions enshrined in each Zhichong Prefecture army, and there are only more than ten people, and no more will be able to support them.
Li Xiaobai took the initiative to help, which made the Dawu Dynasty military breathe a sigh of relief, the symbolic significance of the Warlock Army's surrender to the position of Commander was greater than the practical significance, before Jing Guogong did not think of setting up a Captain to supervise the Warlock Army, but decided to command directly.
Poke the basket with the front foot, and make up for it with the back foot, but it is also said in the past.
"Hehe, a family!"
Li Xiaobai smiled, whether he took it out by himself or the Great Wu Dynasty, for him, it was just a left-handed or right-handed out, and there was no difference.
"Xiaolang, how to fight next, do you have any opinions?"
Jing Guogong regarded Li Xiaobai as Yuan Fang, of course, it was also because he pacified the warlock army who suffered heavy casualties for the military, in addition, the Heavenly Palace's ability to mobilize the power of the magic path to participate in the war has also become a reason why the military of the Dawu Dynasty attaches great importance to it, at least the will of Her Majesty the Empress will never make these immortal elders obey.
If the other party has a good suggestion, he doesn't mind adopting, as the coach, he should have been widely discussed, from which to make a choice, a person to be a package of Zhuge Kongming, is definitely a very stupid behavior, the end of self-righteousness is either a big victory, or a big defeat, victory is a complete victory, defeat is also a complete defeat.
"There are only three strategies!"
Li Xiaobai said unhurriedly: " The first strategy is to gather troops and horses, attack in three directions, and intercept the defeated army of the Westerners in the Gobi Desert as much as possible, where there is no water and no food, and it can be determined for seven days at most, and the second strategy is to find out where the Westerners are located, and sink the remaining three flying boats at all costs, once the support of the flying boats is lost, whether it is the saints or their ground army, it is no longer possible to pose a threat to our eastern territory, and the third strategy is to issue an edict in the name of the new king of Fengxuan Kingdom to launch a national war, do everything possible to eliminate the soldiers of the Westerners in the Fengxuan Kingdom, consume each other's strength, and at the same time invite the Huangxu Kingdom to send troops to assist the Rong people in fighting with the Westerners。 ”
These three strategies are not independent, you can choose one of them, or you can use a three-pronged approach to maximize the benefits of the current achievements of the Dawu Dynasty.
Li Xiaobai had already expected the current situation, and he sent war boats in advance to ask the Five Palaces and Seven Sects to chase after the flying boats that went deep into the eastern soil, and forced them to join the flying boats in the Western army, which was also one of his plans.
After his repeated attempts to make a series of mistakes, now that the Westerners only have three flying boats left in the eastern land, the Holy Court has been shaken at all, the situation is no longer as desperate as it was at the beginning, and the two sides can already fight on an equal footing, making these three strategies extremely feasible.
