Chapter 325: Post-War Reflections
Ling Xiyue's detection ability was unparalleled in the world, and before she entered the South Covering City, she already knew the situation of life in the city well.
In her perception, the loss of the 400,000 soldiers in the southern city was less than 50,000, and the more than 100 demi-saints were still more than 100, such a loss could be said to be very small.
However, the battlefield was brutal, with cracked walls telling of the fierceness of the battle, corpses everywhere indicting the cruelty of war, and a section of the wall that had collapsed, all signs that this was not an exercise, and that no exercise could cost so much.
However, is it true that such a battlefield and such losses are real? The people of southern Xinjiang will not only send cannon fodder to send them to death?
As the two approached, the forest guards guarding the city wall also spotted the two of them, and before they could sound the alarm, the two were already within the range that could be seen.
"Meet the Holy Warrior!"
The soldiers who recognized Ling Xiyue knelt down on one knee one after another, and the rest of the soldiers also knelt down on one knee one after another.
The changes on the city wall alarmed Ling Duxu, and he soon came to the city wall.
Ling Xiyue saw Ling Duxu coming, and without waiting for him to salute, she asked eagerly, "Ling Duxu, tell me the general battle situation here." ”
Ling Xiyue didn't delay, but said directly: "200,000 people in southern Xinjiang are coming, I thought it would be a hard battle, but I didn't expect Ling Chi to break through on the spot, and kill all the enemies with one person and one sword, but Ling Chi is now in a coma because of excessive consumption, and the military doctor has already diagnosed it, there is no big problem, but it needs to sleep for a while." ”
Ling Xiyue said, "Take me to see it." ”
Although it was incomprehensible for Ling Chi to kill all the enemies by herself, this was something that was difficult for both her and Jiang Ming to do, but Ling Chi's safety was the most important thing, no matter what means were used, the cost of doing so would not be small!
Coming to Ling Chi's side, Ling Xiyue seriously sensed Ling Chi's state, and his nervous expression suddenly eased a lot: "He lost not only energy, but also vitality, he lost at least ten years of life in this battle, but fortunately, he didn't have other injuries, and he could still make up for it with some rare herbs." You guard him for a while, and when I finish investigating the situation in the southern city, I will take him back to find a way to make amends. ”
Ling Duxu also breathed a sigh of relief, Ling Chi didn't have much of an injury, as for the ten-year lifespan, as a forest patrolman, he really didn't take this ten-year lifespan to heart, when he performed the forbidden technique "Two Broken Knives", who didn't wield the knife with the belief that he would die, as for the foundation or something, they weren't even afraid of death, let alone the future.
Even those who survived, there are very
Most of them have left hidden dangers in their bodies, and in comparison, this ten years of life is far from leaving injuries and causing a decline in strength that worries them.
What's more, although the magic medicine that allows a person to rejuvenate or add ten years of life is rare, the medicinal materials that make up for the ten years of life lost are really nothing to Wuhou Ling, one is to increase the upper limit, and the other is to restore to the level it should be, and the difficulty is certainly not one level.
Since the Holy Martial Hou spoke, Ling Duxu was of course guarding Ling Chi and would not move him without permission until the Holy Martial Hou came back again.
Ling Xiyue and Jiang Ming saw that there weren't too many things that they needed to deal with here, so they went to Zhengnan City.
The battlefield of the southern city is more tragic than the southern city, the two city walls have collapsed, and the remaining two city walls are also full of holes, although the holes on the top are all simple and blunt in order to disperse the opponent's forces and specially built, but with the destruction of the demon creatures, these walls have also become dangerous walls, if you don't want them to become ruins in the next war, it is better to tear down and rebuild.
In other words, the price of Jian Dut's battle this time is the price of destroying an entire city.
However, in his eyes, the reason why cities are precious is because they can protect the people in the city and reduce losses, without this function, then the existence of the city will be meaningless, so it is completely worth sacrificing an entire city as the price of reducing casualties.
Besides, rebuilding the city was not his responsibility.
Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue quickly found Jian Yu and asked him about the battle situation here, the loss of the southern city was about 100,000, this number did not seem to be much, but it was enough for Ling Xiyue to feel distressed, if she could, she was still willing to die alone.
Jian Dull spent half of the time to briefly tell Ling Xiyue about the battle situation.
Jiang Ming was rarely surprised after hearing this: "Zhi Gehou actually came over in person? Isn't he going to deal with the affairs of the Northern Plains? How can he have time? And it's the three feudal marquis who are acting together." ”
Jian Dull said: "Actually, I didn't count them this time, I just hoped that I could support Mr. Yun to rush back, so that the victory could be ensured, and the forest patrol guard also had enough hole cards to support, but Zhi Gehou took the initiative to tell me that they delayed the battle in Beiyuan for a few days, even if they are not in Dongzhou, there is no big problem on the Beiyuan side, since they said so, then I am not welcome." ”
At present, Zhigehou is still trustworthy, and it is understandable to be blunt.
Ling Xiyue asked, "So, where are the Zhige Hou people now?"
Jian Dull replied: "Dongzhou's affairs still need them to work, although it doesn't matter if the battle situation is delayed for a few days, but he
Every day we waste, we must pay a price!"
The people of Beiyuan and the people of Nanjiang originally planned to attack at the same time, but Zhigehou didn't know what means he used, so he postponed the time when Beiyuan originally planned to attack and gave them time to come to the south to support, which led to a complete victory in the southern war.
If it weren't for Zhi Gehou's move, then the price they would have to pay would have multiplied several times, and it was not even known who would win or lose.
Several people thought about the battle situation seriously, and this victory seemed to be a comprehensive victory, but it was actually very thrilling.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhige Hou's participation in the war was completely unexpected by Southern Xinjiang, then Jian Dull would definitely transfer more people from Pingnanguan when arranging the battle, resulting in the lack of elite in Pingnanguan, if Nanjiang took the opportunity to attack Pingnanguan, then they could only fill it with human lives, and the loss of troops would be millions.
Of course, if Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue make a move, then the battle situation can also be stabilized, but in this case, they will not have time to support Mengmiao City, even if Jian Dull has insight into the plans of Southern Xinjiang in advance, Middle Earth does not have enough troops to support Mengmiao City, once the people of Xizhou and Southern Xinjiang converge, then the millions of corpses will already be considered lucky.
Xizhou's strength is not yet known, and they also retreated without the support of the army, if it weren't for the fact that they brought too many strong people, Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue would not have considered assassination.
However, even if the participation of Zhigohou in the battle affected the situation of the battle, they won very thrillingly.
Covering South City is the most dangerous place, even Blunt can't guarantee that the place will be able to be saved, fortunately, there is a breakthrough of Ling Chi, which made Covering South City achieve a brilliant victory, it can be said that they rely on luck, no, it is by miracle to achieve victory.
If the southern city falls, then the 700,000 troops who conquered the southern city will not be spared, the road is cut off, isolated and helpless, if you want to go back, you will not only have to travel through the desert of 2,700 miles, but also face the encirclement and suppression of southern Xinjiang, and the people who can go back alive are probably less than one out of ten.
Like Jian Dull and some other demi-saints and Zhigohou rescued them, then the army was even more desperate, and their destruction was their only possibility.
If you think about it, they won this battle almost entirely by luck, and even by miracle, and if they were not careful, they would suffer heavy losses and even stall their plans for the southern expedition for several years.
Although there is still a lot of room for development in martial arts, in the case of huge losses, no one can guarantee where the situation in the human world will go in the future.
And Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue became more and more heavy after analyzing the situation.
