This battle ended with the absolute superiority of human beings, looking at this barren land full of corpses, Mo Kongjue deeply felt the cruelty of war and the weakness of life at this moment, maybe only in the face of war, life will seem so fragile. Mo Kongjue didn't have time to sigh too much, he saw Long Qingyu, who was standing on the side, stretching out his hand to wipe the still warm blood on his face, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still shouted loudly: "Quickly count the number of people!"

This is also Long Qingyu's favorite sentence after the battle, because no one wants to face life and death.

Soon after, the number of people who had just been counted was reported, although the human cavalry launched a slaughter-like battle against the 30,000 cursed demon army with absolute superiority, but since it was a war, it was inevitable that people would die, and the human race still paid thousands of combat attrition, of which 528 people could no longer feel the joy of bathing in the sun after this victory, and the rest were not small and wounded, and most of these dead soldiers were on the periphery of the cavalry charge, and had direct contact with the enemy army, thus paying the price of their lives.

After getting the data, Long Qingyu first stood there alone, and didn't say anything for the time being, although he won the battle, although he completed the task with a small battle loss ratio, Long Qingyu couldn't be happy.

Long Qingyu has experienced a lot of battles in the past seven years, and every time he faces this number of casualties, he always has an expectation in his heart from the beginning, expecting that the casualties of his soldiers will be as small as possible, or even simply zero, but now he doesn't want to face these, let alone see the name of any soldier on the number of casualties.

However, the reality is always cruel, what should come will always come, and every time the data reported will make Long Qingyu feel heartache. Every time he still remembers the appearance of the soldiers who were full of confidence and fighting spirit when they set out on the expedition, maybe "the bones of the loyal are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should the horse leather shroud be returned." This sentence that every soldier knows makes them know their final destination, but who doesn't want to take their comrades back triumphantly?

The colonel of the statistics was also accustomed to the state of the major general at this time, and after waiting on the side for a while, seeing that the major general was still silent as usual, he couldn't help but say: "The major general doesn't have to be too sad, we have completed the task assigned by the marshal well in this battle, and I believe that the dead comrades will also be relieved under Jiuquan." ”

After slowing down for a while, Long Qingyu adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Well, according to the old rules, find a better place to bury the dead comrades-in-arms, and those spells will find a pit and burn them." ”

"Yes! After receiving the order, the school officer retired and went to work.

At this time, Long Qingyu saw Mo Kongjue standing aside and said, "Empty, when do you say this war will end." ”

And Mo Kongjue looked at the scorching sun above his head, and said softly: "I believe that soon, we have all experienced so much of the pain of war, and I believe that God will soon let us enjoy peace." ”

"yes, I really want to end the war. ”

At this time, the officer who had just retired ran to Long Qingyu again and said: "Back to the young general, there is a dead soldier's younger brother who hugged his brother's body tightly and did not let the soldier in charge of burying it touch, he said that he hoped to bring his brother's body back for burial, and hoped that the young general could go and take a look." ”

After listening to the school official's words, Long Qingyu was not angry because someone disobeyed his orders, and after being silent for a while, he said to the school officer, "What did you tell him just now?"

"The subordinates all said according to the regulations, and explained to him for a long time, but he still wanted to bury his brother back to his hometown, so he came to ask the major general. ”

At this time, Long Qingyu understood the mood of these people very well, but the rules were the rules, and he didn't know where he was going to continue the battle later, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look." ”

So Long Qingyu followed the school officer to the place where the body was buried, and Mo Kongjue followed. When they got there, there was a soldier who knelt on the ground, holding the corpse and refusing to let go. After seeing this situation, Long Qingyu didn't say anything, slowly walked up to it, squatted down and asked, "Little brother, what's the matter, your brother is also going to be buried in the ground, and it's not a way for you to hold it like this." ”

On the side, a school officer ran over in a hurry and said to Long Qingyu: "Report to the major general, they all failed to discipline the soldiers well, and they caused you trouble." After saying that, he was ready to step forward and forcibly drag out the corpse in the hands of the warrior.

Seeing this, Long Qingyu waved his hand, and then said: "Eh, don't worry, I don't mean to blame him, you go down and get busy first, let me talk to him." ”

"But but"

"What's the good thing, the young general asked you to go down, do you have to disobey the order. Elder Yu on the side shouted loudly.

"Yes! Subordinates obey!" the school officer was ordered to retreat.

At this time, the soldier who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Long Qingyu, and shouted in his mouth: "Ask the young general to be fulfilled!

Long Qingyu hurriedly hugged the soldier and said, "Soldier, what's your name." ”

"Xu Yiyong. ”

"What about your brother?"

"Xu Yimou. ”

"Brother Yong, death is the greatest, or it is the right thing to enter the earth as soon as possible, I think you are like this, your brother doesn't want to see it. ”

"But Major General, I have been such a relative since I was a child, and I beg you to let me go back with his corpse. ”

"Hey, Yiyong, even I don't know where we're going to fight the next moment, so I can only bury your brother here, you know?"

"But" After a pause, Xu Yiyong saw the corpse of the curse that was about to be cremated not far away, and said directly: "Then can you ask the young general to cremate my brother and let me go back with his ashes?"

However, at this time, Lao Yu on the side suddenly shouted after hearing this: "What are you talking about! We humans should be buried in the earth after death, only this kind of cursed and tortured curse soul needs to be purified by the power of flames, what the hell are you talking nonsense here!"

Long Qingyu was also a little angry when he heard that he was going to be cremated, but he didn't have a seizure, he knew that time was running out, and the problem of this warrior could not be completely solved in a while, so he said: "Soldier Xu Yiyong!"

"Here!" Xu Yiyong reluctantly placed his brother's body on the ground, then stood up and replied.

"You're a soldier!

"Yes!"

"Then give me an order!"

However, Xu Yiyong did not answer immediately, and Long Qingyu in front of him immediately shouted to him: "Answer me!"

"Yes!" Xu Yiyong finally fulfilled his duty, but he was ready to go over and bury his brother's body with his own hands, Long Qingyu also agreed to his request, but still instructed Lao Yu to supervise here.

This is the case, and Long Qingyu also left here. As he walked, Mo Kongjue suddenly asked, "Qingyu, do you say that flames can really purify the soul?"

"Well, what are you talking about, this is something that has been passed down from our ancestors for generations, what is there to doubt about this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just asking, don't you mind, Qingyu. ”

"Empty, I think it's been a long time since you've been on the battlefield to ask this kind of question. ”

Hearing Long Qingyu's words, Mo Kongjue was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I didn't know much about this custom at first, I mean burying our soldiers on the spot, but after all these years of fighting, I gradually understood what my ancestors meant. ”

Hearing this, Mo Kongjue also became interested, and then said to Long Qingyu, "Oh, then you can talk about it." ”

"Actually, I think that under normal circumstances, people will want to bring their lovers or comrades back to their hometowns, and this idea itself is correct, but I think this kind of thinking can only be correct and understandable for ordinary people, but it should not be for us soldiers. ”

Then he continued: "Emptiness, you also know that war is cruel and uncertain, no one knows whether they will live well in this world in a second, as soldiers, we ourselves are war machines, but also victims of war, we do not have so many choices, the only thought we have is to hope that the survivors and their descendants can continue to complete their unfinished tasks and careers." ”

Speaking of this, Mo Kongjue, who was listening on the side, also fell silent, he looked at Long Qingyu, and at this time, Long Qingyu seemed to be coated with a layer of mesmerizing brilliance under the sunlight.

Long Qingyu paused for a while, and then said: "So even if we want to take those dead comrades-in-arms away, it is actually impossible, as a real soldier, you should understand that the battlefield is his true destination." ”

"If we want to be realistic, it is that even if we can take their corpses with us, the biggest possibility is that they will be buried in another place, and it will affect the combat effectiveness of the army during the process. ”

Hearing this, Mo Kongjie replied: "Well, I agree with this." ”

"Empty, do you know why you have to bury it on the spot?"

Seeing Long Qingyu asking himself, Mo Kongjue pondered for a while and said, "You talk about it first." ”

"Actually, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand more and more why. ”

After a pause, Long Qingyu looked at this barren and uninhabited land, and continued: "Actually, isn't it to let people remember them, to remember this land that once gave birth to us humans, and to let our juniors continue our unfinished business?"

"You know, though this is not the same fertile place as it used to be. But this is indeed the place where our ancestors once lived, and it is indeed the homeland of our human race. If we bring back all our dead comrades, then why do we still have to fight for this barren land to this day?

Listening to Long Qingyu's words, Mo Kong subconsciously said: "Because there is our human soul here, no matter what it becomes now, it is the place where we human beings are born, we once took root here, we used to occupy the center of this world, and we used to go to glory here! This is the place that carries our honor! This is the place where our soul is born!" Therefore, our soldiers must be buried here, and they will guard this place for life and death, the dreams of our ancestors, the honor of our human beings, and the dignity of our human beings!"

"Yes, you are right, those dead warriors, even if their bodies are dead, but their souls are still there, they are always in the place where they fought, they are guarding the homeland of our human beings, guarding the only dignity of our human beings in this land!"

Saying this, the two looked at each other, and finally turned into the perseverance in their eyes, looking at each other and smiling. Smiling and smiling, both of them saw a different but unusually familiar belief in each other.

Time was still slowly passing, and the burial work was almost done, so the officer in charge of this matter ran over, and then said: "Report to the major general, the burial work has been done, the troops have been assembled, ask the major general to pay respects, and then go and light the corpse of the curse, let the flames purify their souls." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

After speaking, Long Qingyu found his mount, turned over his horse, and slowly walked to a large mound, and the cavalry all lined up and stood in front of the mound. At this time, Long Qingyu turned his horse's head, faced the mound, and then raised the giant axe into the air and shouted: "May your souls sweep away evil for me, may your faith be with me, and mankind will win!"

"Humanity will win!"

With Long Qingyu's shout, the cavalry behind him all waved the weapons in their hands, and then shouted in unison, at this moment, the belief that soared into the sky went straight into the sky, as if it could sweep away all the evil in this world.

After the shout, the air instantly quieted a lot, Long Qingyu picked up the prepared torches, looked at the piles of curse corpses, and then said: "Evil resentful spirits from hell, I hope to use the power of this flame to expel the evil in your hearts and restore the world to a clear place!"

Hoh, Hoh!

The three short cries of the cavalry seemed to warn these evil spirits that they could rest in peace and not be a calamity to the world.

Then, Long Qingyu threw the torch and ignited the deep corpse pit in front of him, and the other pits did the same with Long Qingyu, and then buried it.

But when everything was over, Lao Yu asked, "Young General, what should we do next?"

"There are no other tasks, we can go back after a little rest. ”

"Oh, is it? That's great!" At this time, Lao Yu showed the joy that he should have after the victory.

"By the way, where is Lao Liu?"

Hearing this, Liu Feihu rushed over, and then said, "The subordinates are here!"

"Lao Liu, how is the scout just sent out?

"Tell the Major General, there is no news back, and I have already sent someone to check it out. ”

"Oh, well, let's wait. ”

At this time, a strong wind once again blew on this barren yellow earth, and the wind became stronger and stronger.

Seeing this, Long Qingyu hurriedly shouted: "Everyone gather quickly!"

Hearing the order, the cavalry all gathered, the light cavalry was inside, the heavy cavalry was outside, and the warriors dismounted, pulled up their masks, and bowed down to stand on the side of the horses.

At this time, the wind speed was getting faster and faster, hanging the gravel and yellow sand on the ground, and the gravel hit the armor with a crackling sound, but the cavalry had no choice but to wait patiently for the sudden sandstorm to pass. Although the soldiers were only separated by a war horse, they couldn't see each other in this flying sand and rocky environment, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they couldn't see their fingers.

"Hell, why did this sandstorm come at this time, it's too unfortunate. But Long Qingyu's voice was directly overshadowed by the wind, and only he knew what he said. In the sandstorm, some of the war horses' legs were bruised by the flying corpses, and they began to scream, seeing the abnormality of the war horses, the soldiers also knew what was going on, and they stroked the neck and cheeks of the war horses to show comfort, and the war horses also knew the intentions of their masters, and tried to endure as much as possible.

Soon, the wind gradually became lighter, and the small pebbles that were blown up returned to the ground, rolling rapidly on the ground. Listening to the wind getting quieter and quieter, Long Qingyu shouted: "Everyone stand up for the time being, the sandstorm is about to pass!"

However, Long Qingyu's shouting did not get a very enthusiastic answer this time, and only the soldiers around him answered.

The sandstorm finally passed, and the wind speed gradually slowed down a lot, but the field of vision was still covered by the yellow sand, and the visual range was still very small. After a while, the surrounding scene was gradually visible, but not far away, it seemed that countless black spots suddenly appeared. When the outermost soldiers saw this scene, they at first thought that they had seen it wrong, but after a while, many people saw the black dots in the distance, and the cavalry finally reacted and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"What? enemy attack!" Although they were skeptical of this information, as well-trained soldiers, they quickly mounted their horses, checked their equipment, and prepared for battle.

Long Qingyu and Mo Kongjue, who were in the inner position, also heard the shouts of the soldiers, they hurriedly got on their horses, looked into the distance, and saw countless black spots in the distance, dense, what it was for the time being, but layers of haze climbed into their hearts.

When the sandstorm was completely over, the sand and dust in the air returned to the embrace of the earth, and the distant scene finally showed more clearly, but countless curse armies were distributed around the human cavalry, as if they appeared out of thin air, and the number was completely incalculable, and the main general of this spell army was the curse heaven evil who was seriously injured back then.
