Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Pyrrhic Victory

In the state of the "King Kong Body" combat skill, Zamuhe's whole person was like a fierce demon bear, stepping on the ground and shaking one step at a time, and pounced on Ren Xiaoyao.

Seeing his mighty posture, many Xiliang soldiers around him were excited, and they all applauded loudly and cheered for him.

Many of the cavalry under Ren Xiaoyao stopped attacking and gathered behind Ren Xiaoyao to watch the battle and cheer for Ren Xiaoyao.

Zamuhe was nine feet tall and had a physique as strong as a mountain, while Ren Xiaoyao looked small compared to him, looking thin and small. However, seeing that the opponent was menacing, wielding a one-and-a-half-meter-long blood-colored broadsword to kill the general, Ren Xiaoyao looked indifferent, without the slightest nervousness and worry.

When Zamuhe's blade was only half a meter away from him, Ren Yao moved. He first slid his feet, his body conceded the blade to the right, and his left hand was pushed from the side to the blade.

With a "bang" palm, Zamuhe's long knife was pushed out by Ren Xiaoyao by half a meter, and slashed into the ground. However, Zamuhe's offensive was not over, and he took advantage of the force of the forward rush to directly hit him with his shoulder! Because the muscles of Zamuhe's body were as hard as iron, if he was hit like this, I am afraid it would be no different from being smashed by a mountain.

However, seeing Zamuhe approaching quickly, Ren Xiaoyao smiled--he was waiting for now!

In the face of the opponent who collided like a mountain, Ren Xiaoyao did not retreat but advanced, and his right palm quickly met Zamuhe's arm. At the moment of impact, Ren Xiaoyao only felt that his entire arm was numb, and he was almost in danger of dislocation, and Zamuhe relied on inertia to directly bend Ren Xiaoyao's arm and continue to press it over.

"Boom!"

Zamuhe's shoulder hit Ren Xiaoyao's chest through Ren Xiaoyao's hand! In an instant, Ren Xiaoyao staggered back, and at the same time, his chest was extremely painful.

But after just a few steps of retreat, Ren Xiaoyao stabilized his figure, and at the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Obviously, this collision, he was not hit the contrary, at the moment of contact, he had already launched the Saint King Heart Talent Combat Skill-Dou Zhuan Star Shift!

Under the effect of the Dou Zhuan Star Shift, the star power of Zamuhe's whole body was forcibly extracted, and he fell into a state of weakness in an instant, and even the Star Bead Battle Skill "King Kong Body" was forcibly lifted. Therefore, although he bumped into Ren Xiaoyao just now, it was only the power of ** that knocked him down, and there was no bonus of star power at all. And after hitting Ren Xiaoyao, Zamuhe was also unable to maintain his balance, and his tall body fell directly to the ground, falling a dog and eating!

Ren Xiaoyao stood still, his abdomen quickly flashed, and he launched the first star bead combat skill - Blue Shadow Burst!

I saw a slight bow under his feet, and his whole body shot out like an arrow, so fast that only an afterimage was left! He came to Zamu as if teleporting, and at the same time the cyan long sword in his hand pointed directly at the throat of the other party. At this moment, Zamuhe was still in shock, and he didn't slow down at all, he fell to the ground and watched the long sword attack, but he was powerless to dodge.

"You lost. ”

The tip of the sword pointed at the other party's throat, and Ren Xiaoyao said lightly.

"I won't kill you, but I'm willing to gamble and lose, you have to tell me the secret of your ** strength, how did you practice to such an extent?"

"Hmph. Zamuhe only snorted coldly and stopped talking.

At this moment, the sword was on his neck, and he was no longer allowed to move indiscriminately, but his performance was still very tough, and he was unwilling to tell Ren Xiaoyao the answer.

"If you want to lose the bet, do you want to regret it?" Ren Xiaoyao added a little strength to his hand, and the sword blade directly cut a small cut on the opponent's neck, and the blood flowed down the sword body, dripping continuously.

"Hmph, I didn't promise you any bets just now. Don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill, you will kill, Lao Tzu would rather die than give in!"

Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly, knowing that it would not work at all on the guy in front of him. Moreover, Zamuhe's performance is brave and resourceful, and he has a lot of backbone, which makes Ren Xiaoyao inevitably appreciate it a little. After thinking about it for a while, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly smiled, and then directly withdrew the sword and said, "Okay, seeing that you are so backbone, I will spare you today, you can go." ”

"Huh, you really don't kill me?" Zamuhe was very surprised, and looked at Ren Xiaoyao with wide eyes.

"If you let you go, you can go, what nonsense? You and the hundred soldiers under your command can leave, and I will not stop you. Ren Xiaoyao said, and turned over directly on the horse, meaning that he would no longer pay attention to the other party. In fact, letting go of a Zamuhe won't have much impact on the overall situation of this battle - as long as he is not here to command the others, they are just a rabble.

Zamuhe stood up suddenly, and didn't care about patting off the dirt on his body: "Okay, you let me go, I don't owe you a favor, next time if I have the opportunity to kill you, I will spare you from dying! Also, the reason why my ** strength is so strong is because when I absorbed the first King Kong Demon Bear's star bead, I accidentally got something from it!"

"Something, something?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, it's also a bead, just like the star bead, it fell straight out of the body of the King Kong Demon Bear. I saw that it was full of energy, so I swallowed it directly into my stomach! After swallowing it, I unexpectedly found that my physical strength had increased a lot, far surpassing other people of the same level!"

Listening to Zamuhe's words, Ren Xiaoyao kept thinking in his heart, feeling a little incredible. Because through Zamuhe's description, the bead he obtained from the Vajra Demon Bear is likely to be a rare treasure in this world - the Star Beast Dzi!

Dzi is also produced from Star Beasts, but it is very different from Star Beads. This is because the Star Bead is possessed by every Star Beast above the Refining Body Realm, and the Heavenly Bead is one in ten thousand! Even because of its rarity, there are very few people in the entire Three-Star Holy State who know the existence of the "Heavenly Bead"! Ren Xiaoyao also accidentally learned in his previous life that in addition to the Star Bead, there is also the existence of the "Heavenly Bead" in the world......

"Could it be...... Is it really a dzi? It can't be so coincidental, can this guy have such good luck?"

With great surprise, Ren Xiaoyao glanced deeply at Zamuhe again. He suddenly thought that the "Dzi" was the same as the Star Bead, even if it had been absorbed by someone, as long as the absorbed person was killed, it could fall off again. In other words, if Zamuhe is killed now, then he can naturally get the dzi in his body!

However, this kind of thought just appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's mind, and he immediately dispelled it. He looked at Zamuhe indifferently and reminded: "Thank you for telling me the truth, but I advise you not to mention the bead you swallowed to others in the future, otherwise it may bring you death." ”

"Okay, thank you for the reminder!" Zamuhe hugged his fists, and then turned to face the Xiliang sergeants: "I, Zamuhe, have been defeated today, although I have saved my life, I have no shame to stay here and continue to fight." All the soldiers under my command can leave with me, but I hope you can stay and continue to fight, and don't give up easily!"

With that, he turned over and got on his horse, ignoring the others, and ran straight towards the depths of Tianchi City.

And the soldiers of the Xiliang Kingdom looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, one after another soldiers spread their legs and followed Zamuhe to withdraw from the battlefield. At the same time, many people shouted:

"I'm your subordinate, let me evacuate with you!"

However, Zamuhe was only a centurion, and the number of soldiers under his command was only a hundred. But at this time, there were thousands of soldiers who evacuated with him!

Seeing this scene, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed in his heart: There are few iron-blooded men like Zamuhe after all, and most people are still greedy for life and afraid of death.

He did not give the order to stop it, and let the soldiers escape. Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, and they choose to flee and choose to save their lives, but they are driven by their own hearts, and there is nothing wrong with them. What's more, the more people flee, the easier it will be to win this victory, and Ren Yao is happy to see this scene. He is not soft-hearted, but he is not willing to kill for no reason.

More and more Xiliang defenders fled, and fewer and fewer people stayed to resist. Ren Xiaoyao led the cavalry to rush and kill again, coupled with the strong attack of the large army of the Black Armor Army in front, the Xiliang defenders were completely powerless to resist.

The remaining less than 10,000 Xiliang defenders who held out to the end finally had to abandon Tianchi City and disperse in disarray. This battle ended with the victory of the Black Armor Army of the Great Xia Emperor's Court, and successfully occupied the first city of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tianchi City.

Ren Canglong led a team of black armor troops to quickly organize the cleaning up of the battlefield, treat the wounded of his army, and order his subordinates to pacify the people of the city and not disturb the civilians. However, David David, the commander of the prison army, took more than 10,000 black-armored soldiers and went out of the city to continue to pursue the Xiliang army! In his words, a victory is not easy to come by, and the victory must be expanded!

Ren Xiaoyao returned to the large army with his cavalry. The post-war statistics came out, and it made him extremely heartbroken.

His vanguard battalion consisted of 3,000 men, of which 2,000 were infantrymen, more than 2,700 were killed, and the remaining 200 or so were basically wounded, and only about 40 were unwounded or only slightly wounded. A thousand cavalrymen were better, nearly three hundred were killed, and more than seven hundred remained.

However, among the more than 700 cavalrymen, there were 200 cavalrymen who chose not to participate in the battle and stayed in place to save their lives after following Ren Xiaoyao to break through. Ren Xiaoyao did not punish these 200 people, but transferred them out of the pioneer camp on the grounds that the pioneer camp did not accept seeds.

In addition to Ren Yao's vanguard battalion, the main force of the Black Armor Army also suffered heavy losses.

According to estimates, the Xiliang garrison in Tianchi City also has about 30,000 people, which is on par with the Black Armor Army. Because the Black Armor Army was relatively well prepared, and it was the attacking side, it had a strong morale, so it took a slight advantage. At the cost of losing more than 8,000 people, nearly 20,000 people of the Xiliang army were annihilated. Such a result, coupled with the successful occupation of Tianchi City, can indeed be regarded as a big victory.

But seeing this post-war statistic, neither Ren Xiaoyao nor Ren Canglong could laugh.

On the contrary, their hearts are full of sorrow and anger!

A big victory, but also a tragic victory, the price paid by the Black Armor Army for this victory is too great!

And the culprit of all this is...... Just when Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Canglong were speechless, grieving and angry for today's battle, hearty laughter came from outside the tent.

"Hahahaha...... "David, the overseer, was still a long way from the big tent of the Chinese army, and he was already smiling from ear to ear, obviously extremely excited. He opened the tent curtain, entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and couldn't help but smile after seeing Ren Xiaoyao's father and son: "Marshal Ren, Ren Xianxian, today's battle is really beautiful, it's so enjoyable! Hahaha......"

"Really, is it enjoyable?" Ren Yaoyao's tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

His face sank like water, and he looked at David in front of him with a solemn expression - this guy who seemed to be kind-hearted and full of bookishness, but at this moment he brought Ren Yao the feeling of being free, but he was like a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones.
