As the monsters on the General's Mansion side ceased their activities, the monster army along the Great Wall in the north began to withdraw their troops and suspend the war.
On the other side of the viewing platform, Gao Xuan and Li Changling, who were rushing to help, looked at each other. Each could see unconcealable fatigue in the other's eyes, but it was obvious that Li Changling was in much better spirits.
"I'm just saying damn it, these monsters can't defeat us!"
Although this cavalry commander is older, he also fought with the monks on the previous city wall for a long time, but perhaps because he thought too little, he feels much less tired now than Gao Xuan. ?
?
As for Gao Xuan, although he has never personally gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, as the commander of the battle at Wangyue Platform, he has far more to shoulder than others imagine.
Seeing the demon clan receding like the tide, Gao Xuan did not speak in a hurry, but just waited quietly. When there were footsteps beside him soon, he moved his eyes.
"General, according to the battle report from the General's Mansion, the demon tribe retreated and set up camp thirty miles outside the Great Wall."
Reaching out to take the battle report, Gao Xuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he just turned to look at Li Changling, shook his head and said, "General Li, this is just the beginning."
Li Changling smiled nonchalantly and said: "Since we were able to repel them the first time, there will be a second and third time."
Gao Xuan glanced at the soldiers who were being treated on the top of the city, and said softly: "We will not always have so many soldiers."
Li Changling was startled, but before the cavalry commander could say anything, Gao Xuan added.
"There won't always be so many monks."
After hearing these words, Li Changling was so silent that he could not speak.
The soldiers who died in the battle are being stepped up training in the state capital, and those soldiers who left the northern border army in previous years will also be recruited. This is okay. But what about the monks?
The monks in this world are more or less certain.
Counting, one is dead and the other is missing. Is it just one day or two for a new monk to start practicing and be ready to go to the battlefield?
This matter is self-evident.
Gao Xuan said with complex eyes: "It's best not to be like the rising and falling tide of the sea, again and again."
The sea water comes and goes freely, but the dams can only stand there.
"After the statistics of the battle damage at Wangyue Platform, the information will be sent to the General's Mansion as soon as possible."
Before Gao Xuan turned around and left the city, he left these last words.
…
…
In a war where both sides have invested a lot of money, the end will never end when no more people die. After all, it is only an apparent end. After the war is over, there are still a series of things to do.
It is necessary to count the casualties and ordnance, repair the damage, including sending the final battle report from the North to the capital of God, and even review the battle.
Until these things are done, there is no way to say that the war is over.
In fact, the General's Mansion had already begun arranging these matters long after the demon clan retreated. At the same time, the General's Mansion sent an order to recall Gao Xuan, Li Changling, and several important pass guards.
After these people arrived at the General's Mansion, a meeting at the General's Mansion was held.
But this time, the arrangement of seats in the main hall was different.
Previously, the general's seat was placed at the front, and then he went down to the left and right, and took his seat according to his military rank.
But today in the main hall of the General's Mansion, there are two chairs at the front.
General Ning Ping walked into the hall. The other generals had been waiting for a long time. Ning Ping looked around and then smiled and said: "Very good, I thought that after this battle, one of you would be able to survive."
The person has become the tablet in front of me. Fortunately, no one can ask me to go and burn incense right now."
The generals all smiled.
Ning Ping said with emotion: "But I still have to burn a stick of incense. The soldiers and monks who died in this battle are all good."
Speaking of this, Ning Ping glanced at a general not far away.
The general understood, nodded and said: "The pension will be sent to the capital when the military report is sent to the capital. It is still the old rule. The capital will take out the money for the pension from the treasury, and then order
It’s up to the state capitals to handle it.”
Ning Ping laughed at himself, "I don't know how much it will cost."
"It's not that I, the general, are reluctant to part with that little money. If I could spend money to buy peace for a lifetime, everyone from the Crown Prince to us guys would be happy to see it happen. It's a pity that no one is willing to sell this kind of thing, even if it is real
Some people dare to sell it, but we don’t have the guts to buy it.”
Ning Ping looked at everyone present softly and said: "No matter when you hand over the choice of your destiny, it will make people feel extremely uneasy."
"Move that chair away."
Ning Ping pointed to the two chairs side by side over there, smiled and asked the soldiers here to move the chairs away.
The generals looked at their general, wondering why he did this.
After they moved the chair, General Ningping stood next to the chair that was still there and said with a smile: "Let's let our guardian envoy sit here. Without him, this time we
It’s hard to say it can be defended.”
In fact, everyone can see this battle
The most important thing to come out is the three Fuyun Great Demons. If no one in Daliang can stand up and stop these three Fuyun Great Demons, then if the three Great Demons join forces, it is probably only a matter of time when the city will fall.
.
Therefore, Chen Chao, the guardian envoy who fought one against three and killed the great demon Fuyun, was the greatest contributor.
The previous two chairs were prepared by the generals for Ning Ping and Chen Chao, and by doing this, Ning Ping was also telling the generals that he was willing to live behind others.
It's just that the generals still have different ideas. This is the northern border after all. They all see Chen Chao's contribution, but contribution is contribution...
After saying that, Ning Ping sat on the first chair on the right without giving anyone time to react or refuse.
He smiled and looked at the door.
Chen Chao, who looked a little pale, crossed the threshold and came to the main hall. He greeted the generals present and nodded. Then he noticed the empty chair and squinted slightly. This young man was a little too much.
The guardian envoy walked straight over.
Just when everyone thought he would do his part, he sat in the chair on the left.
The two looked at each other.
Ning Ping was a little helpless.
Chen Chao smiled and said: "In terms of official position, I am not higher than the general. In terms of qualifications, I was once a subordinate of the general, so it doesn't make sense to sit there, right?"
Ning Ping was about to speak.
Chen Chao then continued: "Achievements are not calculated in this way. Whether a person is great or not depends not on what he has done, but on the price he paid to accomplish those things."
"Some guys lost their lives."
Chen Chao said softly: "But I am still alive."
