Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 478 Opening
It has been three hours since I stepped on the battlefield.
It was getting dark, and it was evening.
The battle in front of Longjiang City continued, and Yu Xiao stood there, watching the army with increasing casualties from a distance, his eyes narrowed, and a cold light lit up in his narrow eyes.
"Commander Yu, Zhong Yuan's troops have already lost nearly 3,000 people in the front, and it is estimated that they are about to retreat."
"This time, Zhong Yuan's subordinates have suffered a great injury, and they will definitely not dare to oppose the commander in the future!" A subordinate looked at Yu Xiao with a flattering face at this time and said.
Yu Xiao smiled when he heard this, but said: "His retreat doesn't mean that the matter is over, if the group of vanished armor soldiers can find the corpses, it will be fine, but if they can't find it, he Zhong Yuan will have to talk about it." ”
Although the death battle card has rarely been suspended recently, there have been many such examples before, and in response to such a situation, the soldiers of Longjiang City have already summed up their own methods.
The death card is not a requirement for the soldiers in front of the other party to fight to the end.
This in itself is unreasonable, after all, if you know that it is death, how many people will be willing to fight for it? It's better to throw away your armor, turn around and run for your life, or even throw yourself into the enemy, even if it is dangerous, but at least there is still a glimmer of life, it is better than waiting for death?
Hence the second rule of exchanging enemy casualties for lives.
In the case of the difference in combat strength between the two sides, when the enemy is reduced by half, the casualties of the enemy army are also almost the same, retreat at this time, the number of enemy soldiers killed will be just equal to the number of survivors, and in this case, retreat to the camp, most of the survivors can find a way to survive.
Of course, such an estimate will inevitably have errors, but after all, on the battlefield, life and death are changing rapidly, and no one will divide their minds to count the enemy troops killed by the team, and estimate the casualties of the enemy army through their own casualties, most of the time, there will not be much error.
At this moment, the 10,000 armor soldiers brought by Zhong Yuan have been killed and wounded 3,000 people after three hours of fighting, and as time goes by, such casualties are still increasing, according to past experience, they will naturally feel that Zhong Yuan's army is impossible to fight to the end with the Northern Wei army, and when more than half of the casualties are killed, it is when they turn their horses' heads and return to the camp.
……
The transformation has been going on for three hours.
Xu Yixiu could clearly feel that the momentum around Chu Qingxiao and the others was constantly rising, and reached a height that she could not imagine.
She could also feel that there were a few times in the middle of the way, Chu Qingxiao's mental turmoil was almost lost, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and survived.
Even if she looked at Chu Qingxiao very unpleasantly before this, she had to admit at this moment that Chu Qingxiao was outstanding in some aspects, if it was herself, not to mention that she could withstand the mental impact of twelve people transformed into extraterritorial evil gods by herself, it was enough to make most people lose themselves, this is not Xu Yixiu's alarmism.
You must know that Chu Qingxiao's twelve gods have characters such as Mu Nanshan, Lu Sandao and Zheng Lingyin, whether it is qualifications or talents, they can be regarded as rare existences in this world, but even they still can't resist the majestic impact brought by the extraterritorial force alone, and they need Chu Qingxiao's help to bear it in order to ensure the completion of the transformation.
But Chu Qingxiao did it.
The aura around everyone continued to rise, and it had reached a terrifying critical point.
Xu Yixiu also stood up unconsciously, looking straight at the people under the abyss.
She knew that the last step was coming, as long as she took this step, all the creatures under Chu Qingxiao would have the strength of the Ten Realms, and with that half of the Ancient God True Body, as long as they could withstand the Heavenly Tribulation of the Abyss Sword, then they would have the capital to confront the Ancestral God......
And now, it's all close at hand.
Xu Yixiu's breathing gradually became rapid, and her eyes became burning.
……
"How long?"
Outside the camp of Longjiang City, Yu Xiao frowned and looked at the battlefield in front of him.
As time passed, the battle between Zhong Yuan's army and the Northern Wei army became more and more intense, and this was not something that Zhong Yuan and others could control.
Extraterrestrial forces continue to erode their minds, they can no longer maintain their sanity, and some people continue to fall into madness, raising their swords at their companions, and once someone falls into such a situation, everyone around them will raise their swords and kill them, and the blood splattered when the other party dies will stimulate the desire to kill that is suppressed by death in everyone's hearts, so a cycle of continuous collapse begins.
When someone loses their minds, someone kills them, and the scene of the killing will provoke more people to break down, and more people will fall into madness, so more killings will erupt......
Such a rout spread like a plague in the formation of the two armies, and they could no longer cooperate with the tacit acting as before, and the battle had gradually evolved into a real non-stop fight.
"It's been more than four hours." At this time, a soldier looked at Yu Xiao and responded.
When Yu Xiao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed a little deeper, and his gaze at Zhong Yuan on the battlefield became more and more strange.
Four hours have passed, Zhong Yuan's soldiers and horses, the number of dead and wounded has gone from three thousand to seven thousand, and the number of 20,000 horses on both sides is now only five or six thousand, and most of them are more or less injured, and at the same time, their eyes are red, their bodies are trembling, and the expressions on their faces tend to be on the verge of collapse, and they may fall into madness at any time......
"The number of people is enough, is this Zhong Yuan crazy? Don't bring anyone back yet? Yu Xiao frowned and muttered.
When the subordinates beside him heard this, they said: "Isn't it that he is afraid that when he counts the corpses, he will find that someone has escaped, and he will not be able to refute it, and he will not dare to return to the camp for fear of crime?" ”
Yu Xiao glanced at the man coldly when he heard this, and said: "Fear of crime and dare not return to the camp is nothing more than fear of death, but stay on that battlefield, if you continue to fight, everyone will die, after returning to the camp, even if the number of people is not clear, but there is always a chance to refute, after all, he is the deputy commander of Longjiang City, there is no real evidence, even if we doubt it, we can't convict him, instead of waiting for death, why don't you come back and fight?" ”
Yu Xiao's rhetorical question made the man stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Didn't they kill the red eye? It is not uncommon for such things to happen on the battlefield from time to time these days. Someone else speculated.
Regarding the extraterritorial power that permeates the battlefield, ordinary soldiers, including Yu Xiao, have never known about it, they just vaguely feel that there seems to be a maddening aura on the battlefield, and some people are rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of those dead armor soldiers, who want to pull everyone to die together.
"It's nonsense to say that the soul is wronged, even if there is really such a thing, with Zhong Yuan's mind, it is impossible to be polluted by such a thing, his mind must be sober!"
As the saying goes, there are many times when your enemies tend to know you better than yourself, and the same applies to Zhong Yuan.
"He must be afraid of something, there must be some reason why he would rather die on the battlefield than go back to the camp!" Yu Xiao frowned and muttered to himself, he carefully thought about everything that happened today, and wanted to do the key to the thing that he ignored......
But what's the point?
He thought of Zhong Yuan's unprecedented initiative to ask for battle today, but after the battle, he had no intention of killing the enemy, and obviously colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty to fight with the fake intention, and then the more than 1,000 armor soldiers who disappeared......
If all he did was to get those armorers to escape, then his purpose had been achieved, and there was a glimmer of chance in returning to the Great Horde no matter what, unless ......
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao's face suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Unless those armor soldiers did not run away, but stayed somewhere on the battlefield, once he retreated, I would count the casualties, and after finding that the number was wrong, I might send someone to search, this is what he is really afraid of!" ”
At that moment, Yu Xiao suddenly opened his mouth and figured out everything.
But what good is it for him? If the more than 1,000 vanished armor soldiers didn't flee for their lives, what could they do if they stayed on this battlefield?" The subordinate beside him asked puzzled when he heard this.
"I don't know, but that's how it should be!" Yu Xiao trusted his instincts very much, and he said categorically: "Go!" Put away the death card, give me Mingjin, and let Zhong Yuan collect his troops! ”
Although the subordinates around him understood why their own commander was so determined, but after seeing the murderous appearance of the other party who broke out and killed people without saying a word, no one dared to ask more questions at this time, and after hearing the words, he turned around and wanted to carry out Yu Xiao's order, but at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the rear of the camp, accompanied by a shout: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
……
"Poof!" Chu Qingxiao's face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.
Standing on top of the abyss, Xu Yixiu, who had been watching all this nervously, also stood up at that time, just now, Chu Qingxiao injected Xue Sanniang and others with a strong enough extraterritorial power, and in the next step, as long as Chu Qingxiao can connect everyone's souls with himself and let them become his own gods, then this transformation will be completed.
And this step, compared to the previous infusion of extraterritorial power, and at the same time help everyone bear the impact of extraterritorial power, is actually not suffering, but for some reason, this is already a matter of no suspense in Xu Yixiu's opinion, but there was an accident at the last moment, in the process of linking the soul, Chu Qingxiao's face suddenly turned pale, and his body trembled constantly, as if he had encountered some great pain.
Immediately after that, the scene just now happened in front of Xu Yixiu's eyes unexpectedly.
"Chu Qingxiao! Are you okay! Xu Yixiu shouted anxiously into the abyss.
Chu Qingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at her, Xu Yixiu could clearly feel the tiredness in the other party's eyes, obviously everything that had just happened made Chu Qingxiao suffer a lot of injuries, and he was even unable to respond to Xu Yixiu's concern.
At the same time, Chu Zhaozhao and the others also felt some abnormal movements, and opened their eyes one after another at this time.
"Qingxiao! What's going on? Chu Zhaozhao asked anxiously.
"Brother Qingxiao, are you okay?" Rui Xiaozhu also exclaimed at this time.
The rest of the others also spoke one after another, and their faces were filled with horror and worry at this time.
Chu Qingxiao took a deep breath and calmed down the churning internal breath, but did not respond to everyone's worries, but turned his head to look at Fan Yuanwu on the side.
Fan Yuanwu's face was ugly, and Fan Yuanwen's spirit behind him also appeared at this time, and he also showed a look of panic, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by his elders.
Everyone naturally smelled something strange from the performance of both sides, Rui Xiaozhu had always been thinking about Chu Qingxiao's body, seeing this, his face suddenly turned cold, and he stared at the Fan family brothers and asked, "Are you making trouble?" ”
The Fan brothers' faces were ugly, and they didn't dare to respond for a while in the face of everyone's questions.
And such a reaction undoubtedly made everyone's hearts tighten, and Rui Xiaozhu's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"What the hell is going on, this matter is very important, not to mention, at this moment, there are also General Zhong and General Wei who are not far away to fight for us, no matter what the problem is, it is the right way to say that everyone thinks of a solution, the enemy is current, don't lose big because of the small!" Mu Nanshan said at this time.
Among the people, he is the eldest, and he can be regarded as highly respected, even Rui Xiaozhu, who will lose his mind a little in dealing with things related to Chu Qingxiao, will sell his face when he hears Mu Nanshan's voice, and temporarily restrain the killing intent around him.
"I don't know, the process of absorbing extraterritorial power was very smooth before, and there was no problem with the connection between me and my brother's mind and Brother Qingxiao, but just when I was about to transform into a god, my spirit kept calling on Brother Qingxiao to launch a counterattack, I was really trying my best to suppress it, but there was no way to control him, at that moment, it was as if my body no longer belonged to me......" Fan Yuanwen said at that time, his face was full of anxiety, and his tone seemed to have a little crying.
"Chu Qingxiao, our two brothers are by no means unreasonable people, once the ancestral god succeeds, we will have no way to live, in such a matter, we don't need to be careful with you, you have to believe us." Fan Yuanwu also said at this time, the expression on his face was very sincere.
Chu Qingxiao is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he can't figure out the truth or falsehood of what the two brothers said for a while.
Of course, what Fan Yuanwu said is right, as long as he is a normal person, he should understand that it is an extremely stupid thing to harbor evil intentions in this matter, although the Fan family brothers had some unhappiness with Chu Qingxiao when they were in Tianhang City before, but it was all for Fan Yuanwen to survive, which Chu Qingxiao understands, plus their nature is not bad, so they will choose to help the Fan family brothers.
But the uncontrollable spirit, such a thing, Chu Qingxiao has never heard of.
The body can be taken away, but the soul is the root of the living being, and the living soul may not be able to control its own body for various reasons, but it is absolutely impossible to be unable to control its soul.
Or, of course, your soul is no longer under your control, and you are no longer you.
"So what now?" Chu Zhaozhao saw that the atmosphere on the field was dull, and couldn't help but ask.
Chu Qingxiao frowned, and said a little helplessly: "I may be able to think of other things, but becoming a slave requires both parties to be willing, if he resists me from the soul level, I can't do anything about it......"
"Try again, I'll try to help Yuanwen control his soul!" Fan Yuanwu said at this time.
The two of them are in one place, to a certain extent, the two are one person, if Fan Yuanwen has a soul that he can't control, Fan Yuanwu may be able to do it.
Of course, this is just Chu Qingxiao's speculation, but at this moment, he has no time to think about it, so he can only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor and take a risk.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao nodded, and didn't say anything more, everyone knew that time was pressing, although not everyone believed what the Fan family brothers said, but they could only choose to trust for the time being.
Xu Yixiu saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart was also filled with a sense of foreboding, she clenched her fists and watched everyone return to their positions again, and at the same time, the powerful extraterritorial power also began to pour out of everyone's bodies, pouring into Chu Qingxiao......
……
"Which of the divisions is fighting at the front now?" Qin Huan came to Yu Xiao surrounded by many soldiers, he glanced at the fierce battle situation in front of him, looked at Yu Xiao and asked.
Yu Xiao, who was still thinking of grabbing Zhong Yuan's handle, had no expectation of Qin Huan's arrival, and after paying homage, he hurriedly responded respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, it is General Zhong Yuanzhong's Qu Department who is fighting in front." ”
After saying this, the corner of his eye couldn't help but be attracted by the girl standing behind Qin Huan.
It's not the first time he's seen Zhao Nianshuang, but every time he can't help but be amazed by the beauty of the other party who walks out of a picture scroll.
But fortunately, he has always been self-aware, and after a glance, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
"Zhong Yuan?" Hearing this, Qin Huan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly showed a look of interest, and he looked up in the direction of the battlefield again.
Seeing this, the armor soldier beside Yu Xiao suddenly showed hesitation, obviously thinking about whether to complete the task that Yu Xiao had just explained.
Yu Xiao also noticed this in the corner of his eyes, he secretly scolded the other party for being stupid in his heart, and wanted to signal the other party, but how could such a small action be hidden from Qin Huan's eyes.
He squinted at the crowd and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Everyone also knew that Zhong Yuan was Qin Huan's confidant, even if Qin Huan was a little dissatisfied with Zhong Yuan because of the recent disagreement in the battle in Longjiang City, they didn't dare to guarantee whether such dissatisfaction was enough to make Qin Huan believe that Yu Xiao was against Zhong Yuan, and there was not much actual evidence to doubt it.
But Qin Huan's royal majesty has always been strict, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, in his gradually cold eyes, Yu Xiao did not dare to hide it after all, and after taking a deep breath, he finally told the whole story.
And with the exit of these words, the girl behind Qin Huan still looked indifferent, like a sculpture, but Qin Huan's face gradually showed a smile at this time.
He didn't make any judgment on what Yu Xiao reported at the first time, but looked sideways at the girl behind him, he narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that your brother Qingxiao has already arrived, so it's time for this ending scene to start." ”
