Chapter 1609 leave(1/2)
It lasted for about twenty days from the time the troops of Cangwu Kingdom were officially launched under Zhengyang City to the time when they were completely driven out of the scope of Zhengyang City by the Gumu Kingdom Army.
In this war to defend the capital, the Mu Kingdom invested about 200,000 troops, while the Cangwu Kingdom invested about 150,000.
After the war, the Mu Kingdom suffered about 80,000 casualties, and the Cangwu Kingdom had more than 70,000 casualties.
Although at first glance, the number of deaths in Gumu Country was higher than that in Cangwu Country, this battle won a complete victory in Gumu Country.
Because in this battle, the purpose of Cangwu Kingdom was to defeat Zhengyangcheng, and they did not achieve it.
Therefore, the purpose of the Mu Kingdom was to defend Zhengyang City. They did it and successfully repelled the army of Cangwu Kingdom for hundreds of miles.
Although Baili may be a distance that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator can fly through in a few hours, Baili is already an extremely huge number in the fierce battle between the two sides and the battle formations of each other and the inch of land is not forsaken.
The significance of this battle is also very great. The Cangwu Kingdom, which has won consecutive victories all the way, finally suffered a head-on blow and its offensive was blocked.
Therefore, the Muguo side ushered in the first victory, or even a complete victory.
After the war moved from Zhengyang City's defense to the wild pursuit to the present, Zhengyang City has almost been immersed in the ocean of joy.
When the battle was completely over and the news of Muguo's victory was sent back to Zhengyang City, this situation reached a peak.
At the same time, everyone is even more excited about the main participants of this war, some dazzling names that stand out in the war, because they are the heroes of the Gumu Kingdom.
Under Xia Zhan's deliberate control, few people have mentioned Ye Tian's name except for a few people. It can be foreseen that if this continues, it will eventually be forgotten as time goes by.
However, Xia Zhan did not have this concern for the rest of the people. With his support, the names of these people became more and more dazzling.
For example, Xie Yulong, the former Xicheng Gate General in the Death Camp, was brave and good at fighting. He led his brothers from the Death Squad to kill several enemy Nascent Soul Generals, made great achievements, and completely cleared his previous guilty body.
For example, the famous Luo family sisters in the army, the Feiyan Camp they led seemed to have become a falcon on the battlefield, elusive and had great contributions and roles in obtaining intelligence, interspersing, sneak attacks and other tasks.
For example, Mingtao, the defender in the east of the city, is the main attack direction of Cangwu Kingdom. During the period of defending the city, Mingtao never stepped down the city wall, resisted the opponent's crazy attack and performed well after leaving the city. He ranked at the forefront of the meritorious service of this battle.
There are also general Ke Ye who is the general who is in charge of the entire army, national teacher Hua Bai'an, and elders. In addition to these people who are originally in high positions, there are also many ordinary soldiers who have also received rewards and their reputations have spread throughout the ancient mu Kingdom.
But some people found that one person was missing from the long list of meritorious deeds.
Therefore, the entire Mu Kingdom army obeyed the order and was loyal to Emperor Xia Zhan, and he was also the supreme commander. But the first person in the military was Ke Ye. Below Ke Ye, four generals guarding four directions during the Battle of Zhengyang City, and that Ming Tao was one of them.
In addition to him, the other generals in the north and south directions were also on the list of meritorious deeds.
Only the general Xie Chongguang from the west direction of the city was missing.
Seeing from the beginning, Xie Chongguang's name was not actually the same.
This incident caused a huge reaction.
Anyone who is concerned about this battle understands that the first victory occurred outside the Xicheng Gate. With the help of a mysterious man, Xie Chongguang led the Gumu Kingdom to wipe out the attacking enemy. This turned around the battle situation that was originally stalemate and even disadvantaged.
Logically speaking, this result alone is enough to make Xie Chongguang's name at the forefront of the list of meritorious deeds. Even if it is not the first and second, the position behind it must be Xie Chongguang.
What's more, after winning a great victory in the west direction of the city, Xie Chongguang immediately led his subordinates to other directions to support, breaking the situation and turning the balance of victory into the Gumu Kingdom.
In the end, Xie Chongguang's contribution to the pursuit between the wilderness is definitely not inferior to that of anyone.
As a result, Xie Chongguang completely disappeared on the list of meritorious deeds.
Everyone's eyes were bright. Among the generals, Xie Chongguang was the oldest. The results obtained by this veteran general had won everyone's respect.
The meritorious minister actually got a result that he had no name after the battle. This matter was filled with excitement and great opinions.
However, before this incident was fully spread, new news came.
General Xie Chongguang made great contributions during the war and promoted his military position to general, second only to Ke Ye, and was rewarded with several additional rewards.
This belated news immediately calmed everyone's emotions, and everyone felt that Xie Chongguang was worthy of such a result.
But some careful people noticed a message that followed.
Xie Chongguang was promoted from general to general from Zhengyang City, with the same status as Ke Ye. However, there could not be two supreme leaders in a single army.
Xie Chongguang took office as the General of Yingshi City, and he led the defense of Yingshi City, and immediately took office.
Most people don’t know the true meaning of this order, but some people know it very well, such as Luo Ying and Luo Rong sisters.
Their job is to investigate military information. Zhengyang City is the capital of the country, so they also have a clear understanding of the situation of the entire Gumu Kingdom.
Since the beginning of the war, most of the territory of the Gumu Kingdom has fallen. When Cangwu Kingdom attacked Zhengyang City, almost only Zhengyang City and a small part of the land in the north of Zhengyang City were left.
Yingshi City is located in the north of Zhengyang City.
Yingshi City is not small in scale, but because Zhengyang City is the capital, the latter is more important, but Yingshi City is definitely one of the top big cities among the Yumu Kingdom.
It is also the largest city that has not yet fallen besides Zhengyang City of the Gumu Kingdom.
On the surface, Xie Chongguang's transfer seems to be the best result.
But Luo Ying and Luo Rong and the others knew the current situation in Yingshi City.
Although it has not yet fallen, Yingshi City has long been facing the attack of Cangwu Kingdom and has not yet fallen. In fact, it is just because Cangwu Kingdom was distracted from attacking Zhengyang City.
The troops of Cangwu Kingdom, which were around the ice and snow forests in the west of Zhengyang City, were transferred from the direction of Yingshi City according to the information that Luo Ying and Luo Rong now possessed.
In the country of Gumu, Yingshi City has been basically abandoned by default.
At this time, Xie Chong'ang was transferred to the place, which was a naked rise in the open and secret decline.
This made Luo Ying and Luo Rong and the generals who were indifferent to Xie Chongguang in their hearts, and felt very uncomfortable now.
Even angry.
Angry at why the upper class made such a decision.
But for such a situation, they were helpless except for being angry.
From any perspective, this kind of transfer is fine.
Xie Chongguang himself did not say anything, but after he came back, he began to set out to Yingshi City.
In the flying swallow camp.
"It must be the one Gu Zongyuan did it!" Luo Rong slashed a big stone in the courtyard with a sword and said with a blue face.
"Those group of Divine Mechanism Crossbows are so serious that they have not caused any splashes now."
"Those Divine Machine Crossbows that were scrapped on the West City Wall, and those soldiers who were injured and killed by the explosion of the Divine Machine Crossbow itself seem to have been forgotten!"
"Only they have such ability. General Xie had a conflict with Gu Zongyuan before, so he must have held a grudge. In addition, the matter of the Divine Machine Crossbow has won the battle, but it has attracted such revenge from them!"
"Behind Gu Zongyuan is the national teacher, they must have suppressed this matter."
"Only they have this ability!"
Luo Rong said angrily.
"General Xie, you probably know these reasons."
"But what about those divine crossbows, and the innocent soldiers who died because of the failure of the divine crossbow?"
"If it weren't for the critical moment, Senior Ye Tian took action, because of the serious problems of those group of Divine Mechanical Crossbows, we would have been defeated at that time and Zhengyang City would have been destroyed!"
"Can you be so unforgivable mistakes can be concealed and forgotten so openly because of the current victory?"
"The heroes were treated like this, but the villains were enjoying the fruits of victory with peace of mind?!"
"Stop talking!" Luo Ying finally couldn't help but interrupt her sister.
"Why don't you say it?! It's over this, can't you complain in your heart?!" Luo Rong shouted in discontently.
"It doesn't make any sense to complain," Luo Ying said, looking out of the courtyard: "And someone is here!"
After a while, Ming Yulong, who had already put on his armor again, walked in in a hurry. Behind him, he followed Li Jia and other generals who had been under Xie Chongguang's men.
"Why are you here?" Luo Ying asked after saluting each other.
"The old man Gu Zongyuan is really bullying others. We are going to kill him!" Ming Yulong's cheeks were dark, and his bright eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire.
"General Li, do you really want this?" Luo Ying frowned slightly when he heard Ming Yulong's words, and then looked at Li Jia.
Li Jia's eyes were also full of resentment, but he was not as excited as Ming Yulong.
"Then Gu Zongyuan is a dignified elder, with his cultivation level in the early stage of the Return to Void. Although we have a large number of people, there are other elders in the Elders' Courtyard. Killing him is just General Ming's angry words." Li Jia sighed and said with a wry smile: "We are going to see General Xie."
"When they saw General Xie, they wanted to go to Yingshi City with General Xie, but I said goodbye to General Xie!" Ming Yulong said coldly: "It is difficult to kill Gu Zongyuan's old thief during this trip, but I only want to attack him. Apart from that, I will not consider it!"
"Some attitudes must be expressed even if they are powerless! Some things must be done even if they have no results! Those things are remembered in my heart and cannot be forgotten!"
"When I see General Xie later, please help me hide General Xie!" After a pause, Ming Yulong bowed and said.
"You also know that if General Xie knew, he would definitely not let you go!" Luo Ying glanced at Ming Yulong helplessly.
"I understand my purpose for you, all the generals, and we sisters are also going with you." Then Luo Ying said to the other generals.
Everyone nodded, then gathered together, left the Feiyan Camp, and went to find Xie Chongguang.
...
An hour later, Luo Ying and Luo Rong came back.
After returning, Luo Rong went to make preparations, while Luo Ying came to the room where Ye Tian lived.
Luo Ying was about to knock on the door, but saw the wooden door in the room gently opening it with a slight creaking sound.
Ye Tian was able to know her actions, which was normal. Luo Ying walked into the room without any accident.
