Chapter Eighty-Three: The Triumphant Division
Drinking horse pond is not far from drinking horse slope, there is an area of dozens of zhang, the water source comes from the groundwater, it is not dry all year round, even in winter, there is a small piece of water surface that is not frozen.
Mingguo merchants for the goods of the stone country are nothing more than horses, cattle and sheep and all kinds of furs, to the stone country to walk a plateau before the plateau, people and horses are tired, to the drinking horse pond, you can take a rest, and then look at the endless green space, think about the various joys of the Yellow Rock City, the bitterness of this road is nothing.
However, now, the thin morning mist has not yet dissipated, at this time there is a mess around the drinking horse slope, the once green hillside, burned black, the corpses of soldiers have become charred, and there are some war horses that have lost their owners standing on the ground, I don't know where to go, some eagle vultures in the sky are hovering in the air, they dare not fall to the ground, and the air is full of nameless smell.
The smell of blood permeated the air, and there were many corpses on the edge of the drinking horse pool, and the water in the pool was also dyed red with blood, like a pool of blood, and the broken eagle flags and tiger flags around the pool swayed lightly with the breeze, as if the spirit flag, calling for the souls of the sons of all countries to return to their hometowns.
"Splendid mountains and rivers...... Majestic Emperor...... The old mother of the family, red blood...... O people who died in vain...... Wandering souls. ”
The staccato singing echoes in this hellish battlefield, and the voice is hoarse and low, which makes people feel sad after listening to it.
If there were any living people here.
The singing figure loomed in the mist, dressed in a black robe and a tattered straw hat on his head, and walked slowly as a drooping old man, occasionally stretching out his staff to look at the corpses of the soldiers.
This appearance is like those scavengers on the battlefield, but the old man just kept looking at the corpses, shaking his head again and again, and did not pick up the relics on the soldiers, and no one knew what he was looking for.
Moreover, at this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and it would not be long before the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom would come to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses.
The old man sat down on the edge of the drinking horse pool, and then walked not far away, there were dozens of corpses half a mile away, the clothes were different from those of ordinary soldiers, many of them were wearing close-fitting cloth clothes, not wearing armor, obviously, these were all warriors.
Seeing this, the old man nodded slightly, came to the side of a corpse dressed in blue, squatted down on one knee, and supported the corpse's heavenly spirit cover with one hand.
I saw that a trace of black gas rose from the old man's hand, and this black gas slowly formed the shape of a whirlpool.
A faint light rose from the top of the warrior's head and sank into the black vortex, as if pulled in.
The old man shook his head and walked towards the next martial artist, doing the same thing.
At this time, a small iron bead attracted his attention, many people in blue died under this iron bead, this iron bead is very small, but the weight is extremely heavy, it is oval, touch it with your hand, and engrave layers of threads on the iron bead, the work is fine, and it is only seen in the world.
Soon he found someone, he still had a lot on him, and after the old man absorbed his strength, he nodded with satisfaction.
After a while, the old man absorbed more than ten martial artists one after another, and he looked very dissatisfied, looking up at the white sky, his time was running out.
At this time, the old man raised his eyebrows, looked at the position not far away, and walked over quickly, where he felt a trace of internal qi fluctuations.
I saw that the surroundings of this place were full of warriors in white clothes, and the ground was full of traces of sword qi splitting, obviously the people who fought here were not weak hands, the old man waved his cane, and the corpses of the group of warriors were set aside, and a delicate face was revealed.
"I said we'll meet again, isn't it, Third Young Master. The old man slowly took off the straw hat, revealing his old cheeks, which was the face that Lu Yong had used.
Then, Lu Yong dragged Gu Qiuyu out and checked his injuries.
Gu Qiuyu was injured by the head of the Genting Palace, although he used all the internal qi of his body to protect his muscles and veins, but his internal organs were severely damaged, and then he endured the seriously injured body and killed ten disciples of the Genting Hall in a row.
Now he has one foot in the palace of Hades, and he may die at any time.
After Lu Yong checked Gu Qiuyu's injury, he smiled strangely, "Third Young Master, you can't save you when you come to Luo Jinxian, but ...... Who let you meet me, I really don't deserve to die. ”
After that, Lu Yong did not immediately treat Gu Qiuyu's injury, but looked for something on the side.
"He didn't bring the sword box......"
After looking for a while, Lu Yong shook his head, came to Gu Qiuyu's side, stared at the position of Gu Qiuyu's neck, and pulled Gu Qiuyu's coat away, revealing the jade pendant on his neck.
"Sure enough, it's here! Hahahaha! Without those seven swords, this thing can be used as a life-saving thing. Lu Yong laughed, ripped off the jade pendant, grabbed it in his hand and kept checking it.
In the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves a few times, and then it slowly intensified, Lu Yong put the jade ornament in his arms, carried Gu Qiuyu up, and slowly disappeared into the mist.
As soon as Lu Yong left, a group of soldiers from Shiguo came here, led by He Hua.
When He Hua caught up with Xiao Wuchang yesterday, it was Xiao Wuchang and the government soldiers who formed a joint attack on the Wusuli army of Mingguo.
However, this Wu Su Li is a general, before according to the speed of the cavalry and the bow and arrow to stop the advance of the reinforcements, seeing Xiao Wuchang and the soldiers counterattacked, he led the troops to retreat, Li Wucheng led a thousand people to pursue, as a result, the Ming army sprinkled horse nails on the ground, the military horse was injured a lot, can only watch him not far away, and when the Shi army marched to the Drinking Horse Slope again, Wu Su Li's army followed from behind.
When Xiao Wuchang ordered the troops to come back to help, let He Hua and Li Wucheng take the infantry in the palace to defend against Wusuli.
Of course, He Hua was a hundred dissatisfied, but he couldn't resist the military order, so he could only watch Xiao Wuchang bypass Gu Qiuyu's position just now and raid Mingguo's flank.
Just as he was getting up to save Gu Qiuyu, the troops behind him were fiercely attacked by Wu Suli, Li Wucheng and her led the infantry in the government soldiers, less than 2,000 people, and the combat strength was uneven, but the result was barely supported, but nearly 1,000 casualties were killed.
Wu Suli only saw the defeat of the main force of Mingguo on all fronts before he left with his whole body, and the troops behind the palace could not move, and insisted until the main force of Shiguo returned to the division but it was already dark, and He Hua had no way to look for it at night, so he looked for it all the way as soon as it was dawn.
At this time, she did not have the calm she used to have, and her face was very anxious and kept patrolling the corpses in one place, and several Aquila guards gathered the corpses of their companions with sad faces.
"Gu Qiuyu, where are you ......"
He Hua looked at the bloody battlefield, his eyes were sour, and he didn't know if he could still see that gentle smiling face, or if he had already ...... He Hua didn't dare to think about it.
Two hours later, the sun was already shining on the earth, the Shiguo army had basically cleaned up the battlefield on the battlefield, and in the fireworks that rushed to the sky, the heroic spirits of the soldiers on both sides were taken away, and a girl in black clothes stood quietly beside the blood-colored drinking horse pool and was silent, and a little crystal slipped through the corners of her eyes.
After the battle of Drinking Horse Slope, Shi Guo captured countless grain and grass, destroyed 20,000 enemies, captured 5,000 prisoners, and captured a large number of war horses.
King Ruyi fled back to his country with only a few thousand remnants, and Mingguo's military strength was greatly reduced, and he could no longer pose a threat to the rear of Shiguo within a few months, which was undoubtedly a reassuring pill for Li Hongfu, who paid all his attention to Yangguo.
At the beginning of the battle at Yinmapo, many Shiguo officers did not understand why Xiao Wuchang did not defend the fortified city, but took the initiative to attack.
It wasn't until the ghost fire was powerful and when he saw Mingguo's 10,000 backups that the generals understood in their hearts that Xiao Wuchang was going to sacrifice the 2,500 people he brought with him, and after attracting Mingguo's attack, he used the ghost fire to kill and injure the enemy.
It's just that he didn't expect that the Ming Guo's forward army didn't have a catapult for siege, otherwise he might have used the catapult to throw the ghost.
When his plan could not be fully realized, the combat power of the Shiguo army on the battlefield helped him, and the Ruyi King and the Mingguo army wanted to destroy Yang's troops in front of him to save face and gain a defensive position, and the result was that this trick was finally realized.
The victor is blameless.
Buyi Xiao Wuchang has already achieved great military exploits, protecting Huangshi City and Chenzhou with minimal casualties, and is already a hero of the Stone Kingdom.
That night, Xiao Wuchang returned to the city with the victorious army, and the whole Yellowstone City was jubilant, and the residents came to the city to welcome the triumphant army, and the streets were lined with fine wine to entertain the returning heroes.
The soldiers of the Stone Kingdom naturally accepted the treatment of heroes, even those who arrived later, and no one would notice that there were many people missing from this ranks.
In the crowd beside the street, several pairs of eyes kept checking in the mighty army, as if looking for something.
"Senior brother, the kid surnamed Yu is not here, did he die in the chaos?"
"Chances are, leave the two of you to keep an eye on here, and the two of us will tell Master about this. ”
The two people who spoke were Sun Siwu and Wu Liuqi, who had been following Gu Qiuyu, and were disciples of the Xingtian Palace.
The two of them have been following Gu Qiuyu for some time under the order of punishment and lifelessness, but the battle outside the city, martial law in the city has long been under martial law, and the two of them can't get out of the city, so they have to wait for the results here.
Not far from Sun Siwu and Wu Liuqi, a short and dark-skinned man was also looking for Gu Qiuyu's figure, this person was Lu Tonglu Qianli, after not seeing Gu Qiuyu, his brows frowned slightly, turned around and merged into the already crazy crowd, and walked towards the west of Huangshi City.
