Chapter 1878 Ci is not in charge of the troops
In fact, Xiahou Ling didn't know what the real purpose of the demon slaying army was.
He's not omniscient.
However, Xiahou Ling's intuition told him that the Demon Slayer Army definitely did not want to take Nile Peak.
The main thing is that everyone understands that even if the Demon Slayer Army really takes down Nile Peak, it can't hold it, and it's just a toss in vain.
And now that the Demon Slayer Army is encamping, it's a good time to do it!
Xiahou Ling's thinking itself is different from that of normal people.
He didn't know what the true purpose of the Demon Slayer Army was, but he believed that no matter what time it was, he couldn't be led by the opponent's nose, and once he fell into passivity, he would lose half of it in advance.
The Demon Slayer Army, which was originally encamped, did fall into a brief chaos when they found that the demon clan on the Nile Peak was rushing down.
Gu Yuan and Ling Qiao hurriedly took a group of people and rushed forward first, intercepting the first wave of impact as much as possible.
Taking advantage of this time, the army behind also adjusted its state.
"Pull out the camp! Stand back!" Ling Qiao's order was passed on.
After a fierce battle, a strange roar was heard from the Nile Peak, and the demon army surging like a tide quickly retreated and retreated back to the Nile Peak.
Only corpses were left everywhere.
Ling Qiao gasped for breath, his eyes still fixed in the direction of the Nile. Volcanic literature
Even he needed a little time to sort out his thoughts at this moment.
What happened just now is too unbelievable.
Gu Yuan was a little depressed.
"I thought about leading people to rush up first, and I was caught off guard by the demon clan, but I didn't expect that we didn't do this thing, but the demon clan did it...... Are they crazy?" Gu Yuan said.
Ling Qiao glanced at Gu Yuan and said faintly, "You should be glad that you didn't do that before."
"Huh?" Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.
Ling Qiao's words woke up Gu Yuan.
The reason why he thought about leading people to attack Nile Peak first was that he felt that Tuoya was dead, and the current demon army should be a group of insects without a leader, as long as he dared to lead people to charge, the demon army would inevitably be in chaos.
This is sure to have very good results.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
The fact that the demon army can take the initiative to attack means that they already have a command, and they may have already set up ambushes in various places before the war began.
If Gu Yuan really led people to rush to Nile Peak before, he would inevitably be ambushed, and even if he was lucky enough to escape back, those demon slaying soldiers who were brought to Nile Peak by him were afraid that they would sleep here for a long time.
One thought!
Looking at Gu Yuan, who had a palpitating expression, Ling Qiao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't think about it now, don't focus on what didn't happen, let's go."
"Oh, good!" Gu Yuan quickly came back to his senses and followed behind Ling Qiao inch by inch.
He also realized that there were still many things in Ling Qiao's body, which were worth learning from himself.
Before attacking Long Mountain, everything went well, which caused Gu Yuan to be a little careless.
Fortunately, there was also a Ling Qiao looking at him, otherwise, even if he survived, if he killed the other people of the Demon Slaying Army, it would also cause very serious consequences.
In the conflict just now, although Gu Yuan took the lead and bought enough time for the demon slaying army to retreat, he still sacrificed more than three hundred people, of course, they also killed more than four hundred demon clans, most of which were not very powerful demon beasts.
In terms of quantity, it seems that the demon slaying army has taken advantage, but this is not the case, and the demon clan will not care about the casualties of those demon beasts at all.
Ling Qiao's face became more and more solemn.
This choice of the demon clan caught the demon slayer army off guard.
He had no idea that this would happen either.
"Although Tuoya is dead, there is a more powerful ...... on the Nile," Ling Qiao muttered.
In this short confrontation, Ling Qiao suffered a dark loss, but fortunately, with Gu Yuan here, the loss on the side of the Demon Slayer Army was not too big.
But Gu Yuan's mood was a little heavy.
He was already accustomed to fighting alone, even if he attacked Longshan before, he was acting alone, and now he suddenly saw so many people from the Demon Slayer Army fall forever at the foot of Nile Peak, and he still felt a burst of self-blame in his heart.
Maybe......
What can I do better?
In front of Ling Qiao and them, Gu Yuan didn't do this, but packed up all his emotions and raised his head again to look in the direction of Nile Peak.
"That's actually good news for us." Ling Qiao looked at Gu Yuan and said seriously as if comforted, "Now it seems that the Demon Clan wants to defend the Nile Peak, and our plan can be regarded as a success."
"So many people died...... Is that good news?" Gu Yuan's face was a little ugly.
He would not question Ling Qiao's character, and in his heart, Ling Qiao was definitely a person worthy of respect.
It's just that this is really uncomfortable to listen to at this time.
Ling Qiao knew what Gu Yuan was thinking, so he left everyone behind and walked forward with Gu Yuan on his own.
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped, turned to look at Gu Yuan, and said with a chuckle, "A little unhappy?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"Actually, fighting is like this, I will be heartbroken to see the people of the demon slayer army die, but if I am like you, then I don't have to do anything every day, and my heart hurts to patronize - after all, in the northern Xinjiang, what day will no one die?"
Listening to Ling Qiao's calm tone, Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the other party, his eyes were a little complicated.
I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
What Ling Qiao said seems to be true......
"Again, that's how to fight, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, if this makes you unbearable, then do you know that in the eyes of Li Siming and Zhong Wuchen and others, what are the soldiers of the Demon Slaying Army?"
Gu Yuan looked at the other party a little blankly.
What are the soldiers of the Demon Slayer?
Isn't that a warrior who fought for the country and succeeded the human race?
But Ling Qiao's words made Gu Yuan's hands and feet cold, and a chill rushed straight to his brain.
"In their eyes, the soldiers of the Demon Slayer Army are just lifeless chips, they have to analyze how many bets they have in their hands, and even take the initiative to throw away some chips in order to win a certain stage of victory." Ling Qiao said lightly.
"Chips? Bets?" Ling Qiao's words made Gu Yuan's face pale.
"If one day, you take over the Lingqi from Li Siming's hands, then you will do the same, otherwise? I'm afraid that the soldiers of the demon slaying army will die, and if you accidentally die, you will be in pain? It is impossible for any general with such a mentality to see the dawn of victory.
Gu Yuan, you remember, Ci is not in charge of the army, this is not to make you regard human life as a mustard, but to clarify the goal in your heart, pay everything for it, don't feel that this is cruel, because whether it is Zhong Wuchen or Li Siming, as long as they can level the Demon Mountain, what if they pay for their own lives?"
Gu Yuan somewhat understood.
There is nothing unfair about Ci not being in charge of the army, and indeed learning to ignore life for the sake of the overall situation and victory, because the moment they seize the command flag, they don't even care about their own life and death.
