Chapter 167: The Green Mountains Have a Soul
After the battle of the Ganling Desert, both sides of the war had a special taste in their hearts. In the battle, the Gale Squadron lost 10 men and 35 wounded, half of the combat casualties, and 42 Sha reinforcements were slightly wounded, while the Mengyi Guards lost 22 men and 56 wounded, and the combat attrition was close to half. The two armies with their eyes on top of their heads paid a heavy price in the course of the fierce collision, proving once again the old saying that on the battlefield, anything can happen.
The battle was not a pleasant experience for the commanders on both sides. Zhu Xiaoqi's side planned carefully and finally ended hastily. The poisonous wolf came on the spot, but returned in disappointment. If we have to say that there is anything to gain, it is that both the enemy and us have changed their mistake of underestimating the enemy and being careless after this war, and have done everything possible to study the opponent, thus laying a solid foundation for a magnificent collision on the stage of a larger war in the future.
For a long time after the Battle of Ganling, neither Zhu Xiaoqi nor Meng Yi mentioned this battle that took place in the depths of the desert. As time passed, some information about the battle was gradually revealed, and the debut confrontation between the two talented generals aroused a strong desire to peep. However, later war history research scholars and military observers racked their brains and couldn't figure out what happened on the battlefield, nor could they figure out who felt the high tide in the process of the two handsome guys stabbing each other for the first time.
"Two extremely smart guys, stabbing the chrysanthemums of the Divine Court on the battlefield, do you think they will stupidly tell you what happened after the war?" Xuanyuan Yu's sentence of complaint revealed the truth of the facts.
In that battle, Meng Yi and Zhu Xiaoqi, the former had the intention and the latter had no intention, but they violated the "Bright Convention" and violated the taboo of the Divine Court. They can only issue a gag order after the war, and put on the appearance that nothing has happened. Even those who were as powerful as Meng Yi did not dare to stand in the divine court of the Continent of Power, let alone Zhu Xiaoqi, who was still a seedling.
Fengling Town.
In the barracks at the border checkpoint, a heavy atmosphere permeated the air. After withdrawing from the battlefield, Zhu Xiaoqi has been in a deep coma, and everyone's hearts are hanging in the air.
Xuanyuan Yu, who had a haggard face, sat outside Zhu Xiaoqi's dormitory, anxiously waiting for Cang Yuyao's news. After the troops withdrew from the front line to the border checkpoint, he planned to ask Feng Qingqing to check Zhu Xiaoqi's injuries, but was stopped by Cang Yuyao.
The reason why she refused the best doctor in Fengling Town was because when she was treating the wounds on Zhu Xiaoqi's body, she found that there was a mysterious force that was constantly repairing his damaged body. Combined with Zhu Xiaoqi's strange appearance on the battlefield, she realized that there seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden in his body. Although Feng Qingqing had saved the Gale Force, she was an outsider after all, and her origin was unknown, so she couldn't let this woman come into contact with Zhu Xiaoqi's secret.
"What a magical power! One night, it's all right!" Early in the morning, after checking Zhu Xiaoqi's injuries, Cang Yuyao raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, looked at someone who was asleep with pity, and a smile of surprise appeared on her pale face.
This night, she stayed by Zhu Xiaoqi's side in a coma without undressing, checking his body once an hour, so she was fortunate to witness another miracle: the trauma healed in the first half of the night, the broken bones were repaired in the early morning, and the internal organs were restored in the second half of the night.
Bringing a basin of water, she lifted the quilt. Gently wiping Zhu Xiaoqi's bare skin, her face couldn't help but redden, and her chest rose and fell sharply. The toned body in front of her was extremely familiar to her, but she had never and dared not appreciate it carefully at such a close distance. The faint smell of sweat and the warm feel made her a little confused. In the old days, she took pleasure in torturing Zhu Xiaoqi every day. But after experiencing the test of life and death, her heart completely fell, and she felt that every minute and second of company was worth cherishing for her.
"Well, comfortable!
A faint voice came into the ears of Cang Yuyao, who was in a trance. She couldn't help but subconsciously move her hand down, and then wiped it gently.
In the process of moving, the slender jade finger inadvertently encountered a strong and fiery thing, Cang Yuyao was like being devoured by a snake, and her sanity suddenly recovered.
"Bastard!" Cang Yuyao's face turned red, and she threw the towel in her hand towards Zhu Xiaoqi's face, and turned to leave.
This damn guy had been worrying about her all day, and when he woke up, he only thought about eating her tofu, she thought hatefully. The hot sensation that still lingered between her fingers caused a wave of heat to rise all over her body, and her head was in a mess.
"How is he?" Seeing Cang Yuyao walking out of the room with her head down, Xuanyuan Yu's heart couldn't help but sink.
"See for yourself. Cang Yuyao dropped a sentence and left as if flying.
"What's the situation?" Xuanyuan Yu was confused, and walked towards the room.
"Help, huhu-murder husband, huhu-help-" On the bed, Zhu Xiaoqi, whose face was covered with a wet towel, let out a faint cry of pain while struggling. Under his red fruit, Zhu Xiaoba was swaying proudly.
"Monsters, it's what kind of monsters......" This situation made Xuanyuan Yu feel infinitely emotional.
He walked to the side of the bed, lifted the wet towel from Zhu Xiaoqi's face, smiled at him, and covered it again.
"Xuanyuan, I'm ()*―・()#...... ・*―......" A barely audible scolding sounded the moment he turned around.
In April 1574, the contest between Zhu Xiaoqi and Meng Yi rose to a new height.
From April 2nd to 5th, "Tianlong Times" published an article written by war correspondent Liu Qingmei Cai on the war in the north of the wolf clan on the front page for four consecutive days. These manuscripts, which were based on detailed contents, sounded in the air like a thunderbolt, which not only detonated Tianlong's public opinion, but also caused a sensation on the entire continent.
On April 2, "The Rising Sun's Remote" was released. The manuscript begins with the old wolf's head scourging the wolf clan in the northland, and discloses in detail the sinister intentions of the Rising Sun Empire to use the wolf clan to encircle and suppress the wandering spirits of the green mountains. On April 3, "The Mystery of the Northland" was released. The manuscript analyzes the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the Northland, points out Meng Yi's intention to surround the Qingshan Wanderer after entering the Northland, and calls on the wolf clan and the Tianlong to deal with the conspiracy of the Rising Sun. On April 4, "Baiyun War" appeared in the newspaper, and the manuscript recorded the entire combat operation of the Qingshan Wanderers attacking Baiyun Town, and trumpeted their amazing courage and team spirit of never giving up a soldier in the face of a strong enemy, and at the same time announced another thing to the world: on the border of the Tianlong Empire, the Qingshan Wandering Spirit ended the myth of Meng Yi's invincibility.
These three manuscripts relied on each other, each more convincing than the last, so that the conspiracy of the Rising Sun Empire against the wolf clan and the Celestial Dragon Empire was quickly believed by the world.
Compared with the previous three articles, the April 5 press release "Green Mountains Have a Soul" seems a bit unusual. This manuscript does not focus on the war in the Northlands, but on the spirit of the green mountains itself. It describes in detail the humiliation and suffering of the officers and soldiers of the Western Expedition who were lucky enough to break through and deliver the letter after Li Mubai Feilong's defeat, as well as their efforts to take revenge in the past two decades.
The last paragraph of the manuscript was deeply engraved into the hearts of the Tianlong military and civilians: "Twenty years of peace have made us collectively amnesia and forget many things. We forget that the rise of empires has always been a history of national wars. We forget that the decline of empires has always been a history of national suffering. We have forgotten that the strength of an empire has always been to resort to iron and blood. Twenty years later, when the threat of war came again, we were surprised to find that the enemy would put the shackles of war around our necks, whether we wanted to or not! As a result, we suddenly discovered how precious those lost memories were to us! If Qingshan has memory, they will not forget blood and fire; if the people have memory, they will remember their relatives and pain; if the country has memory, they will know the way they came from and the way back! The defeat of the Flying Dragons 20 years ago can only show one thing: Every inch of blood in the mountains and rivers and every inch of blood is normal for soldiers to bleed! Twenty years later, the wandering spirit of Qingshan has proved to us another thing: 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers, although Mu Bai is dead, the soul of the army will not be extinguished! If history has memory, when the name of the hero is justified, when he returns with his soul, the snow in Feilong City will be a shame!
This passage not only uncovered a dusty history, but also turned the secret contest between Tenryu and the Rising Sun into an open confrontation.
As a result, the Celestial Dragon Empire stepped out of the shadow of the defeat of the Flying Dragons and entered a new era.
