It's dark and it's raining.

After a while, the wind blew fiercely, dark clouds filled the sky, and then bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.

The sky wept and shed tears on the earth.

And more than 3,000 Loulan foot soldiers were tragically abandoned by the "Loulan Hussar General", and their hearts were like this rainy night, miserable and miserable.

The sudden heavy rain also weakened the officers' control over the non-commissioned officers to the lowest point.

The vast majority of the foot soldiers were confused and at a loss, or stopped in place, or scurried around like a swarm of headless flies.

Morale has long been shattered!

However, the only three remaining Loulan commanders, still with the delusion of making meritorious contributions in their hearts, each organized two or three hundred soldiers to brave the rain to climb the mountain, trying to kill Wei Xuan, the general of Qingzhou, before the reinforcements arrived.

"It's still too late!"

"Protect me Loulan and kill all the Dongban!"

Shouting different slogans, the three Loulan commanders led their respective soldiers to launch the final attack on the defense line at the top of Maiji Mountain!

"Whoever kills the head of the Eastern Barbarian General Xiang will be sealed as the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"As long as the beheading can be successful, then there is still hope for victory in this battle!"

With the arrival of this group of soldiers, the face of the military judge Feng Quan changed greatly.

Just because—

These eight or nine hundred soldiers, who were able to maintain their strong morale in the desperate situation of the main general's escape, obeyed military orders, and braved the rain to attack the mountains, were undoubtedly the real elite.

Moreover.

Due to the torrential rain, the remaining archers have completely lost their effectiveness, and they are forced to draw their blades and fight the enemy to the death!

The three defense lines in the east, west and south all erupted into earth-shattering fighting sounds!

"Damn it!"

Feng Quan was furious, drew his magic sword, and brazenly killed the two Loulan soldiers who were rushing into battle in the rain: "The main generals have all fled, why are you still doing so hard?" ”

Wei Xuan stared at Siye, his vision had long been blocked by the dense rain curtain, but he was not surprised, and laughed:

"Rest easy."

"This sudden heavy rain is a great benefit to the Qingzhou Army."

"Our Qingzhou army is highly disciplined, even if they fight separately due to the heavy rain, those army commanders, even the commanders and hundreds of generals, can also gather manpower according to their own judgment to defend against the enemy."

Between words.

On the chaotic battlefield on a rainy night, a seriously wounded junior military attache put on his armor with great difficulty, went forward one after another, and took the initiative to organize wounded soldiers and civilians to shrink into a small phalanx to resist the invading enemy.

All believe:

As long as you can hold out until reinforcements arrive, this battle will be won!

…………

Stormy winds.

In this battle, to such a rotten field now, there is no tactics at all, only blood and bravery!

The only thing the Qingzhou soldiers could do was to hold their blades and kill the invading enemy, or be slashed to death by the enemy.

Fighting!

The never-ending fight!

Many Qingzhou soldiers were red and yellow, and they couldn't tell whether it was blood, rain, or foul sludge on the ground.

But they have long been unable to care about this, because the slightest carelessness will be a heroic sacrifice, dying in this strange land in a foreign land.

Whether it is a wounded soldier, a military attache such as a military commander or a chief, or those people, they have long exhausted their physical strength and blood, and they just gritted their teeth and persevered with their tenacious will.

Many people had just killed a Loulan foot soldier, staggered to the ground, and never woke up again.

It was also this most desperate moment!

At the foot of Maiji Mountain, there was a roar of rage:

"The eighteenth battalion of Qingzhou, Jiang Chen, come to help!"

As soon as the words fell.

A legion technique containing the strong blood of 2,000 soldiers, the Tai Fierce Sword Technique, suddenly turned into a colorful Menghu and swept over!

"Roar!

！ ”

A tiger roar full of primitive wildness suddenly swept through the mountains and forests, resounding in the ears of every Loulan soldier.

Hundreds of Loulan soldiers heard this, and great fear enveloped their hearts, and their bodies trembled unconsciously.

"Kill!"

"Those who kneel are spared death!"

The 18th Battalion of the Qingzhou Army had a total of 2,000 soldiers, led by Zhang Baisui, Feng Lebin and senior commanders, and the soldiers were divided into three routes to quickly rush and kill all the Loulan soldiers who dared to resist.

In the face of dense reinforcements, the morale of the Loulan soldiers finally collapsed completely, and they all dropped their weapons and turned around to flee.

Defeat is like a mountain!

Next to the three Loulan commanders, there are only a few dozen people left, but they are the elite who have been cultivated in the national capital for many years.

They still held on to their last illusions, gathered one after another, and launched a final surprise attack in the direction where the great general Wei Xuan was!

】

However.

Ordinary Qingzhou soldiers lost their arrows and were afraid of rain, but after being promoted to the Wilderness Captain, Jiang Chen's archery power was far stronger than that of the Wilderness Orion period.

The bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrows are in a row!

Stop!

Hugh!

Jiang Chen shot three arrows in succession, and the sharp arrows missed, accurately shooting through the Tianling Gai of the three Loulan Thousand Commanders, and their brains burst out.

This moment.

The last trace of resistance of the Loulan infantry finally collapsed!

"It's down!"

"We will surrender!"

Speaking in the indistinct Davidic language, the remnants dropped their weapons and knelt on their knees to beg forgiveness from the Celestial Empire.

"Won!"

Seeing this, all the surviving Qingzhou soldiers let out a shocking cheer, and then cast their eyes with a little reverence and gratitude on Jiang Chen and the soldiers of the eighteenth battalion.

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen rode on the back of the old green ox and stared around.

Most of the Loulan soldiers cast fearful and hateful glances at this moment, but when he endured these complicated gazes, he inexplicably gave birth to a strange feeling of stability and truth.

The boiling qi and blood in the body gradually calmed down.

"It's hard to ......"

"They've become my anchor too?"

Jiang Chen pondered carefully for a while, and secretly guessed:

"Captain Wilderness, the former represents the road, while the latter, as the name suggests, must be deeply related to the words army and war."

"That is."

"Will the enemy soldiers I defeated also gradually transform into anchor points that support qi and blood?"

"If that's the case, it's a big plus that you don't have to put your eggs in the same basket."

Come to think of this.

Jiang Chen had some thoughts in his heart, and then drove the old green cow to quickly go up the mountain road.

Soon.

He entered a simple canopy and met the general Wei Xuan.

Jiang Chen immediately clenched his fists and solemnly gave a military salute: "The last general, Jiang Chen, was half a step late in the rescue, so that the Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses, and asked the general to forgive him." ”

Wei Xuan leaned on crutches, shook his head and smiled:

"What is the sin?"

"You worked tirelessly, led your troops to run more than 100 miles in one day, scared off the general of the Loulan hussars, killed three Loulan commanders, and made such a great achievement, you can be said to be the pillar of my Qingzhou army!"

"When this battle is over, I will definitely ask the prime minister for you and officially crown you as the captain of Qingzhou!"

Jiang Chen straightened up and showed gratitude:

"Thank you, General."

At the right time.

Feng Quan was drenched in heavy rain, running back and forth on Maiji Mountain, and finally quickly counted the gains and losses on the battlefield, and said loudly:

"General, a total of about 2,000 remnants of Loulan have been recruited......"

After some detailed statistics.

Qingzhou Army:

Four hundred and thirty-five were killed, 267 were seriously wounded, the rest were lightly wounded, and about 3,000 people were lost.

Such a huge loss was also exchanged for extremely brilliant results.

On the part of the Loulan army:

About 1,200 Loulan infantry soldiers were killed, about 2,000 remnants were recruited, and the remaining 800 soldiers either fled or disappeared, which can also be regarded as the result of the battle.

The four Loulan commanders were all killed.

Furthermore.

Although he only killed a few dozen cavalry soldiers, he also ordered the dignified Lan Hussar General to raise cloud wolves and flee without a fight, and all 800 iron cavalry fled.

Jiang Chen immediately said:

"Thanks to the favor of the Zhang family, the 18th battalion still retains some medicinal materials, and the general is willing to hand them over in full."

A hint of joy flashed between Wei Xuan's eyebrows, and he gently bowed his head and said:

"If the name is not right, it is not good, now, I will temporarily appoint you as the temporary captain of the eighteenth battalion of Qingzhou and lead your soldiers."

Hear this.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

As the saying goes: "Only the name and the instrument cannot be faked!" ”

As a commander of a thousand people, he controls the 2,000 soldiers of the 18th battalion in Qingzhou, which is a big hidden danger after all, and after a long time, something will happen.

Now.

got the general's words, and finally justified himself, replacing the original Zhang Longxiang, and became the new master of the 18th battalion in Qingzhou.

"Hoo ......"

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, hugged his fists and thanked him again.

That's when it happened.

Wei Xuan suddenly glanced at Feng Quan and said:

"Call Zhang Baisui."

"Yes, General."

After a while, the curtain of the door opened, Zhang Baisui changed into clean clothes, and walked into the canopy with a blank expression.

Feng Quan was also very knowledgeable and took the initiative to drive away the surrounding soldiers.

Wei Xuan's expression was heavy and concise:

"The king has received a secret letter that the envoys have left Yumen Pass in the early morning three days ago, and will arrive in Dongli at noon at the most."

Jiang Chen's eyes sank.

Prime Minister Sima Zhongda has long been in collusion with Luo Jiao and is in the same stream.

There is a great possibility that the envoys who came this time will inevitably give up the land of Loulan that the Qingzhou army has worked so hard to capture.

Give up the gateway of the great Western Regions to Luojiao......

"General, the last general is willing to lead eighteen battalions of soldiers to attack the national capital!" Jiang Chen didn't want the fruits of victory to be stolen by the Luo Sect, so he asked for battle as soon as possible.

Wei Xuan shook his head and sighed:

"Loulan National Capital, the two quasi-artifacts, although one of them was destroyed by His Excellency Liegong, the other quasi-artifact also disintegrated on its own, trapping the 20,000 soldiers of Qingzhou in the boundary of the Sand Sea."

"But the five wolves of Loulan will still survive."

"Now in the Qingzhou army, there is only one person who has the strength to defeat them, and that is the former lifeless sword ghost, Zhang Baisui."

Between words.

Wei Xuan's eyes were shining, staring at the generals of the former Liaodong battlefield, waiting for Zhang Baisui to take the initiative to ask for help.

However.

As soon as Zhang Baisui spoke, he said something that surprised Wei Xuan.

He smiled and said:

"General, times have changed."

"Now in the Qingzhou Army, I am not the only one who has the strength to defeat the five wolf generals of Loulan, and this person is in this canopy."

Wei Xuan was slightly surprised, the vicissitudes of life were as faint as candle flames, falling on Jiang Chen's young and delicate face, first silent for a long time, and then thoughtful:

"Captain Jiang, could it be that you have been promoted to the rank of general?"

Jiang Chen's expression was pale, and he replied with his fists clenched:

"Thanks to the general's blessing, it was a fluke."

Hear this.

Wei Xuan's eyes showed a hint of amazement, and his eyes burned:

"Are you sure to deal with the five wolf generals of Loulan?"

Jiang Chen thought for a few breaths and said calmly:

"Eighty percent sure."

Wei Xuan's eyes drooped, he took a half-step closer, noticed the potential lines in it, and immediately spoke: "Where is the lack of Ercheng grasp?" ”

Jiang Chen thought about it in his heart and responded:

"Mainly in two places."

"First, the blade used by the last general is still a medium-grade sharp weapon, which is really unbearable to use, and every time it breaks out with full strength, the blade will show cracks, and a high-grade weapon is urgently needed."

Wei Xuan nodded and said:

"Ordinary Qingzhou fighting generals, using medium-grade sharp weapons, can be enough, but those who have good qi, blood and martial arts skills can only withstand high-grade sharp weapons."

"In this case, after the rain stops, this king will lead the army back to the camp of the Western Army, dig up the treasury, and the high-grade weapons inside are yours to choose."

Jiang Chen thanked him and continued:

"The second point, the means I conceived require a large amount of yang qi to expel one of the five wolf generals of Loulan, and I am not 100% sure with only the two thousand Qingzhou soldiers under my command."

Wei Xuan hesitated for a moment, and immediately spoke:

"Now is an emergency, and there are some rules and regulations that need not be followed, so the king immediately sent people to collect the corpses and select strong men from among the people."

In order to strengthen the control of the military soldiers, the vast majority of military soldiers were required to undergo a thirty or forty days of loyal education after being promoted.

But now—

Excuse me!

"A group of Qingzhou soldiers who have not been brainwashed."

"If troubled times come......"

Jiang Chen's mood was agitated, and he immediately saluted with a military salute, showing that he was extremely loyal:

"The last general will not disgrace his mission, before the arrival of the envoys, the five wolf generals will be punished, and the head of the king of Loulan will be sacrificed to Jiuding."

…………

Half an hour later.

The rain is getting lighter and the weather is clearer.

Jiang Chen rode the old green ox, walking on the eastern slope of Maiji Mountain, and saw the remains of broken limbs everywhere, soaked in the soil with blood, and secretly thought:

"By the coming year, the soil will be fertile and the vegetation will flourish."

Many people were full of joy, and quickly collected a large number of corpses of Loulan soldiers, and these materials would be turned into food for them to be promoted to Qingzhou soldiers.

Soon.

The five hundred lords, Feng Lebin, returned with the scouts, and had already explored the surrounding environment, saying that about twelve miles away, there was a rather lush forest that could be used to hold the Qingyang ceremony.

Everything is ready to go.

A large number of people were in high spirits, carrying the corpses of the Loulan soldiers with all their might, running through the starry night, and finally arrived at the forest twelve miles away after two hours.

Under Jiang Chen's command, the remains of 435 Qingzhou soldiers and 1,200 corpses of Loulan soldiers were buried in the soil at the root of the tree.

Theoretically.

At most, more than 800 people can be successfully promoted to Qingzhou soldiers.

But actually.

After the Loulan soldiers return to the sun, they will definitely hate all living beings, and it is very likely to kill some people, which is very dangerous!

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked:

"Xiao Wu, Gongsun Hu, do you two have the confidence to go further?"

The two nodded.

They followed the "leader" to fight in the south and north for several months, and they had already successfully digested all the medicinal properties in their bodies.

Jiang Chen's face showed approval, and he said in a dignified voice:

"Choose some old guys from the Eighteenth Battalion and let them also be promoted to Qingzhou fighters."
