Chapter 42: The Oil Lamp Burns the Soul
Jiang Sanshao likes to drink.
There is a rumor in the Feidu Army: "Emperor Tianxuan can't go without beautiful women for a day, and three young people can't go without wine for a day!"
The name of the three young lovers of wine is known all over the world.
Sanshao, who loves alcohol, rarely gets drunk, and he has only been drunk once in his memory.
That year, boating on Wuxi Creek, the fragrance of wine wafted in the vast Wuxi River, and how many river fish smoked were also slightly drunk and danced around the boat!
The smoke wave is vast, the scenery of Wuxi is infinitely magnificent, the smoke wave is hidden or a leaf flat boat, and the four young people who are in the prime of their books on the boat are singing loudly.
The boat drifted with the waves, and the four teenagers carried the wine jar, facing the stormy waves, drinking and singing!
It was a past that Sanshao will always remember, a past that completely changed his character and fate!
Four teenagers from military families in different countries actually gathered on a flat boat to drink the world's major events to the moon!
There is no children's feelings, and some are full of male blood!
If the words said at that time were a hundred tempered steel guns, then these words were enough to stir up the turmoil of millions of miles of Wuxi!
Perhaps, the seven days and seven nights of Wuxi drifting, and the four hundred and ninety-three altars of fine step-by-step wine, are not the focus of that period of the past at all, and the blood is the alliance!
The four of them swore to Mingyue and became brothers with different surnames, and the three young people were lucky to be the third and became the veritable three young people.
In those seven days and seven nights, the four of them cherished each other like old friends who had known each other for decades, and talked about everything, from the history of the ten thousand years of Tianxuan to the customs and human feelings of the three empires!
Through the wine, through the little moonlight sprinkled on the waves of Wuxi, the four teenagers all made their greatest wishes.
At that time, the moon was very soft, and the wine was delicious no matter how you drank it at that time, and no one would have expected that each other would meet each other on the battlefield one day, and they would become opponents who had to be divided into life and death, no one thought.
Because at that time, the three empires had no war for a hundred years!
Jiang Sanshao's eyes were a little sour, and every time he thought of these past events, he was always a little difficult to let go.
To be honest, if it weren't for the strict order of the head of the family, how could he be willing to personally lead troops to attack Tianxuan?
Breaking the oath of the former Wuxi made him more uncomfortable than sticking a few knives in his heart.
But as a descendant of the Jiang family, as an excellent general of the Feidu Empire, and as one of the four young marshals, he had to lead the army to come.
Responsibility and affection, which is more important, he is already confused.
So he wants to get drunk very much, and he gets drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.
But he knows very well that no matter how drunk he is, he will never be able to regain the feeling he once had, and what he has lost will be lost forever!
From the moment he led his army to the territory of the Tianxuan Empire, there were some things that he had lost forever.
No one knows how deep the pain of losing my love forever is, lingering in the bones, tormenting and tearing over and over again, unable to break free!
Sanshao can no longer get drunk!
It's easy to get money, but it's hard to find a confidant!
Who understands Jiang Sanshao's sadness?
Only the song that was once sung on Wuxi was repeatedly sung in his heart, and he barely diluted some of the sadness and pain that was so thick in his heart that he couldn't dissolve!
Boating over the waves, complaining about the long road in the east. Gu Zhan loves the city and leads the internal injury. Taigu He is scarce, and the mountains and trees are lush. I paint the rain and mud, and the flow is vast and horizontal. Zhongkui is absolutely trackless, and changes his way to climb Gaogang. Xiu Ban makes the clouds and the sun, and I Ma Xuan is yellow.
Xuanhuang can still enter, and I think about it. What will Yu Xun think? Dear in the house. This picture is in harmony with each other, and it is not restrained. The owl sings and weighs the choke, and the jackal is the road. The flies are white and black, and the slander makes the intimacy alienated. If you want to return it, you must stop hesitating.
There is no end to lovesickness. The autumn wind is slightly cool, and the cicadas are singing on my side. The wilderness is depressed, and the sun is hidden. Return to the bird to Qiaolin, fluttering wings. The lonely beast walks the rope group, and the grass is not left behind. Sentimental things hurt my arms, and my heart is often too resting.
A song becomes a song!
Jiang Sanshao was a little annoyed, but also a little excited.
Prince Xuanyuan Hao is a person who is self-righteous and happy, and he has always disliked it.
But the status of the monarch and minister between the two has long been fixed, and he can't help it. Therefore, he had to abandon his personal likes and dislikes and come up with a clever plan for Xuanyuan Hao.
This plan is called -- encircling points to send reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, this time Xuanyuan Hao actually adopted his strategy in its entirety, so that he led the army to continue to make contributions!
Flying across the Empire, this time a total of 1.7 million elite troops were dispatched.
This is very different from the information of 600,000 people obtained by the Triple Building, the reason is very simple, the Jiang family or the Xuanyuan Imperial Family have long known that the Tianxuan Empire has a mysterious organization composed of all cultivators who have cultivated to be extremely powerful in the service of the royal family, and this time the army has naturally been guarded against for a long time.
The most important thing is the powerful demigod weapon brought by the disciples of the Hidden Sect!
These demigods not only solved the big problem of crossing the vertical and horizontal mountains, but also played a huge role in hiding troops and surprise attacks.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Hao led a full million soldiers and horses, while Jiang Sanshao only had 700,000 troops.
Xuanyuan Hao was actually very lucky, because the mysterious and powerful disciples from the Hidden Sect had been following him all the time, and Jiang Sanshao's clever plan allowed him to win victories one after another.
In just fifteen days, the one million army he led completely adopted Jiang Sanshao's strategy and achieved miraculous results.
Except for the northernmost Baoshu Pass and Yemao Pass, he sent an elite cavalry army of 50,000 people to attack the rest of the ten passes of Tianxuan.
This is a frontal offensive.
In fact, behind the scenes, he used the demigods carried by the disciples of the Hidden Sect to disperse the remaining 500,000 troops into several legions, and flew over the Tianxuan Pass without knowing it, and arranged these legions in various dangerous positions to ambush.
Of course, just like the Silica Canyon, these legions have all completed all kinds of exquisite arrangements with the help of the miraculous means of the disciples of the Hidden Sect, as long as the Tianxuan army enters these areas, there is only one word: death!
The bait used to bring the Tianxuan army into these ambush points was to feint and attack the various counties!
He knew that Tianxuan's leader was Tie Anxing and Tie Anle, and it was precisely within the scope of the two people's territory that the two were at war, with the arrogant and arrogant character of the Tie brothers, who loved money like their lives, Xuanyuan Hao was not afraid that the two would not be hit.
As long as he besieged those county towns for a while, Tie Anxing would definitely immediately order the defenders of the various passes to rush to help, which was the purpose of Jiang Sanshao's strategy.
Each pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and some passes have as many as 120,000 troops, and the strategy of encircling and sending reinforcements can not only minimize the casualties of the soldiers who fly over, but also gradually divide and eat away the living force of the Tianxuan defenders.
By the time Tie Anxing found out that the situation was wrong, it was estimated that there were not many soldiers and horses left in the Western Army of Tianxuan Town, who had never suffered such a huge loss!
Xuanyuan Hao's attitude towards those hidden sect disciples was very respectful, almost worshipping them as elders in the imperial family, and completely letting the army march with their intentions.
By feintting to attack Beishang County, Bau County, Tolan County, Yunque County, Kongxiang County, and Sifan County, the Feidu Ambush Army easily and comfortably wiped out the Tianxuan army that attacked more than a dozen Tianxuan troops who rushed to various county towns to help.
With the disciples of the Hidden Sect guarding over them, none of these Tianxuan troops who entered the ambush circle escaped with their lives!
Receiving the battle reports from everywhere, Xuanyuan was overjoyed, and the brilliant results made him excited!
In just a few days, they have successively eliminated nearly 600,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army of Tianxuan Town, and they haven't let the news leak out!
I'm afraid that Tie Anxing, who is still showing off his martial arts in the Hidden Dragon Pass, is still in the dark!
The current Xuanyuan Hao lives in the palace of the three princes of Lark County.
Three expressionless bald young men sat on the main seat with very serious expressions, so that Xuanyuan Hao didn't dare to speak.
He rushed to report the good news to the three powerful disciples of the Yin Sect, and up to now, his army had captured the three county towns of Tie'anle and completely occupied the seven passes including Yemao Pass.
And after breaking through the three county cities of Sifan, Kong Xiang, and Skylark, he didn't expect that the three Hidden Sect disciples would let him order ―――――― slaughter the city!
To be able to give such an order with an expressionless face is really a disciple of the peerless great sect, and he doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all.
To tell the truth, Xuanyuan Hao, who has always been cruel and murderous, has to admire the ruthlessness of these three people, and he can't catch up with him anyway.
1,210,000 people in Kongxiang County, wiped out.
1.3 million people in Sifan County, wiped out.
1,280,000 people in Skylark County, extermination!
Extinguish! extinguish! extinguish!!
Kill!!!kill!!
The blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field, which was the tragic situation of these three major Tianxuan county cities at this moment.
Even if you are a hundred miles away, you can smell the bloody smell!
Coupled with the Zhenxi army that was ambushed and killed by the Zero Sum Commander, Xuanyuan Hao calculated that at least 4.5 million Tianxuan people had died under the butcher's knife of his army!
For the slaughter of more than three million unarmed Tianxuan people, Xuanyuan Hao has always been suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask.
The three envoy-like disciples of the Hidden Sect have a transcendent status, and there must be a deep meaning in doing so, how dare Xuanyuan Hao talk more?
He vaguely felt that it seemed that the cultivation of these three people seemed to be somewhat related to the dead.
Slaughtering women and children, Xuanyuan Hao was a little unbearable at first, but soon he was completely numb.
Three empty county towns, all the corpse capitals were collected by the army and placed on the largest square in each county town.
Xuanyuan Hao didn't know what the purpose of these corpses was placed, he coughed lightly and bowed down and said: "Three immortal masters, according to your orders, all the corpses in the three county cities have been packed and placed, please tell us the next step of our army's actions!"
A bald young man said in a low voice: "Take Qilan County by the way, and then concentrate your forces to deal with the remaining five passes and three counties!"
"Let's go and arrange it now!" Xuanyuan Hao went to arrange all kinds of matters for the attack on Qilan County.
The three bald young men looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said with a smile: "Two senior brothers, who knows that this experience is simply not fun at all? These Tianxuan troops are like meat on a chopping block, they can be slaughtered at will, I don't think it will take more than a month, and we will be able to attack the Tianxuan inland in one fell swoop!"
Another young man with a face like a horse monkey said: "What the Eighth Senior Brother said is extremely true, but it is said that there are many people in the Heavenly Mystery Ability, so we should not be too contemptuous, it is better to maintain appropriate vigilance!
The three of them immediately stood up and instantly appeared in the huge square a few kilometers away from the palace.
This is the largest square in Skylark County, which could have stood hundreds of thousands of people, but now it is piled up with bloody corpses.
Some of these corpses had their heads cut off, some had their hands and feet cut off, some were hit by several arrows, and all kinds of deaths were unbearable!
The three bald youths were not surprised or overjoyed, and instantly stood apart, forming a triangle and enclosing the entire square.
They surrounded the square with that solemn and strange atmosphere!
Among the three of them, the aura on the horse-faced young man was the strongest! It could be seen that he was the highest cultivator among the three.
The horse-faced young man snorted in his mouth, raised his right hand, and suddenly an apricot-yellow oil lamp appeared in front of him, and the flames turned into a quiet color, and slowly flew to the top of the middle of the corpse mountain as high as the mountain, sprinkling a quiet light in the air, enveloping all the corpses!
Almost at the same time, the three young men all sat cross-legged on the ground, with their left palms erected on their chests, while their right hands were bent towards the oil lamp, and they began to chant obscure words in a low voice!
These words are not only obscure, but also very charming, and the three of them all chanted in a low tone and frustration, and they worked very hard.
And as the chanting progressed, their right palms began to glow with a quiet color that changed from light to dark, exactly the same as the light of the oil lamp!
Since the three of them had already placed a ban on kilometers around the square, no one saw what they were doing now.
Finally, the rhythm of the words in their mouths began to become faster and faster, and the bald young man's body began to tremble slightly, and sweat broke out of his forehead, as if he had reached a very tight time at this moment!
Fortunately, his two senior brothers seemed to help him a little, and they all increased the intensity of the recitation, as if in this way, the pressure on him was greatly reduced, and he instantly returned to normal, as stable as the initial state!
I don't know how long it took, the green light in the right palm of the three of them began to slowly fly to the oil lamp, and quickly merged into the green flame of the oil lamp!
At this moment, the more than a million corpses began to emit traces of blue, black and white smoke.
These smokers of different colors seemed to be attracted by the light of the oil lamp, and floated like moths to the flames of the oil lamp.
In the midst of the great prohibition, a terrible and tragic wail and hissing began to appear in an instant, as if countless unjust souls could not help but howl miserably after suffering unbearable pain!
And the terrible thing is that these screams actually came from the flames of the oil lamp!
What's that calling?
Could it be the screams and wails of those fine smokes that are scorched by the flames?
How can it be?
Fortunately, no one saw this, otherwise I would have been scared away!
But no matter how miserable the voices were, the three bald young men were unmoved.
They remained motionless in their original position, their eyes closed, but the chanting in their mouths never paused!
No one noticed that in the sky above the city of Lark County, a blood-colored cloud dozens of miles long had formed!
The clouds were motionless at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but they seemed to be a spiritual creature overlooking the world below.
Only, can the clouds be seen?
Where are its eyes?
