Cleaning the battlefield, on the one hand, for the abandoned weapons and equipment.
Needless to say, throwing away helmets and armor, when ordinary soldiers are fleeing, they cannot escape if they are wearing armor.
Even rattan armor will affect actions to a certain extent.
Of course it's going to be lost.
Will you succumb to the enemy? People are going to die to think about this.
As for weapons, long weapons are mostly used on the battlefield. Once defeated, they will basically be thrown away. The same goes for shields. These weapons are either big or heavy and are not conducive to escape.
Only short swords and knives have little effect.
However, ordinary soldiers do not know how to wear swords and knives, and the only ones who can carry them are generals.
Swords and weapons have little effect on the battlefield.
The three Liu Bei brothers, for example, have swords in case of emergencies, and they have never unsheathed them until now.
Liu Bei's special weapon, the double-pronged sword, has never been unsheathed.
The long-handled hammer seized from Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan is used now.
When charging on the battlefield, it is more useful to use long weapons.
However, if there is a duel before the battle, Liu Bei will use his double-pronged sword.
But he has two younger brothers who are more powerful than him, so he doesn't have much chance.
In addition to recovering equipment, another important reason for cleaning the battlefield is to clean up the corpses.
The accumulation of corpses on the battlefield can easily form ghouls.
What is a ghoul? It is a monster born from a pile of dead people, similar to a wild dog.
But more dangerous than wild dogs.
Generally speaking, wild dogs will only devour corpses and will not provoke people unless they are provoked by humans - unless there are no corpses to eat and they are starving.
But ghouls are different. They are full of aggression and can easily hurt people.
The Yellow Turban thieves don't care, the court must.
Qingzhou City is an important place, and there should be no corpses outside the city.
A large number of corpses were piled up and set on fire.
For now, this is the best way, and there is no extra energy to dig holes and bury them.
Moreover, in places like mass graves, if too many corpses are buried at once, it is easy for ghouls to appear, but the probability of them appearing is not as high as on an unattended battlefield.
"Gu Gu Gu——"
"Gu Gu Gu——"
The cries of dead birds kept coming from the sky, and even flames and people walking and carrying could not disperse them.
Night sky.
A large number of dead birds were circling, refusing to leave and coming down from time to time to peck at the corpses.
The dead bird naturally feeds on corpses, whether it is flesh, blood, hair, or even bones.
They have no interest in strangers and will fly away when someone tries to drive them away.
Otherwise, with its power that can break bones, it would be a huge threat to ordinary people.
Because there are certain dangers in clearing the battlefield.
In addition to some soldiers, there are usually military commanders on duty.
Right now, Xia Yanzhen, Tiamat, and Zhang Fei are in charge.
Originally, it was not their turn to do the job of sweeping the battlefield, but Xia Yan really wanted to come and take a look, so she left it to him.
During this period, compliments such as "Taoist Master Gao Yi" were naturally indispensable.
However, Xia Yanzhen has not received any substantial benefits for the time being, except for insignificant compliments from his several great victories.
However, Liu Bei, as the main recipient of military exploits, was reported to Zou Jing and is expected to have an official position in the future.
Daochang Xia is from outside the country, and the current world is in chaos caused by the Taiping Demon Dao.
It’s not easy to write a letter explaining his merits.
Fortunately, Daochang Xia doesn't care much about this.
Liu Bei told Zou Jing on behalf of Xia Yanzhen that Xia Yanzhen only came to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits and eliminate the Taiping Road.
Ask for nothing else.
Liu Bei also added some of his own understanding, such as orthodox disputes and so on.
Xia Yanzhen doesn't need those things, he just needs to influence the imperial army to fight the Yellow Turban Army and promote the historical process.
With my current status, I can obviously do it.
Not to mention Liu Bei, after the day's battle, Xia Yanzhen now tells Zou Jing to fight wherever he wants, and Zou Jing will fight wherever he wants.
This is not a fierce man who can break the formation alone.
But in the true sense, one person is against ten thousand, and one person can kill 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves and defeat them.
In the end, only one Qu Shuai (Guan Hai) escaped.
Not to break the formation, but to break the army!
Such a terrifying peerless general was willing to kill the Yellow Turban Army under his command, so Zou Jing naturally wanted to support him.
After several great victories by the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court attached great importance to it. Various decrees were issued, releasing military power, and calling on all the powerful families to unite to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.
I don’t know how many people will rise because of this, so why is there not me, Zou Jing, among them?
If I win over the three brothers Liu Bei (a disciple of Lu Zhi) (a super strong general) and Daochang Xia (a peerless general), won't I, Zou Jing, soar to the sky?
In Zou Jing's eyes, Xia Yanzhen is now equivalent to Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei just visited the thatched cottage three times to invite him out of the mountain.
Whether there is a position or not is a side issue.
Zou Jing's attitude towards Xia Yanzhen made Liu Bei feel a little threatened - of course he also wanted to take Taoist Xia for his own use.
Everyone wants talent.
However, Liu Bei had a vague feeling that this Priest Xia Shi was not someone who had lived under others for a long time.
The future will either drift away and return to the leisurely Kunlun, or...
Therefore, let’s be gentlemen’s friends for the time being.
Let’s get back to business, back to the battlefield.
Xia Yanzhen and the other three were walking casually, with the muddy ground beneath their feet made not of water but of blood.
The smell of blood is very strong.
"Daozhang Xia, do you Taoists know how to use thunder?" Zhang Fei asked, "I heard that Zhang Jiao's demon can make wind, rain, lightning and thunder."
"I don't know how." Xia Yanzhen said.
"The Taiping Demon Taoist Association"
"Maybe." Xia Yanzhen said, "The Tao I cultivate is different from the Taiping Tao. I don't know what the great sage master cultivated. Since there are rumors, it is probably true."
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Daozhang Xia, what kind of Tao do you practice?"
"Prove the Tao with force." Xia Yanzhen said.
Zhang Fei showed a stunned expression, no wonder he couldn't beat him at all.
He didn't think the way of "proving the Tao with force" was strange. After the day's battle, he asked Daoist Xia to borrow the terrifying weapon formed by Taoism - Qingyun.
This weapon, which looks like a spear but not a spear, looks like a halberd but not a halberd, and has the feel of a three-pointed two-edged sword, is quite heavy.
Zhang Fei can pick him up and wave him.
But if you want to use it as a portable weapon like Daochang Xia did, it will be beyond your capabilities.
This is not force, what is force?
The way to strength!
Zhang Fei understands.
"Ah! The ghoul, the ghoul appears!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the front.
A ghoul appears.
Xia Yanzhen and the others dared to go that way without saying a word.
Ghouls are devouring corpses.
The surrounding soldiers held torches and did not dare to approach. When they saw Xia Yanzhen and the others arriving, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the corpse ghost." Zhang Fei knew the existence of the corpse ghost, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
The corpse in front of me looks no different from ordinary people at first glance.
It is formed by a corpse standing up, and now it is plopped on the corpses that are piled up and ready to be set on fire.
But the way it eats is not with its mouth.
The corpse lies on the pile of corpses.
A large erect mouth opened on the chest, sharp teeth sprouted from the mouth, and with a casual roll of the tongue, the body was swept away and swallowed whole.
There is no sound between meals and the speed is extremely fast.
In just a few seconds, most of the piled up corpses were gone.
The corpse also swelled. Only his body swelled, while his limbs and head remained at their original size.
The swollen body is like a round ball, growing a lot of fat.
Corpse oil even leaked out, and a stench filled the place.
The soldiers around him suddenly vomited, vomiting their entire stomachs.
They were kneeling on the ground, as if they were vomiting out their souls, without even the strength to move.
"drink!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, "Monster, Grandpa Zhang will die for you!"
Along with his roar, the eight-foot-long snake spear moved like thunder and instantly penetrated the corpse, leaving a terrifying penetrating wound on its body that occupied almost one-third of its chest.
The upright mouth was also smashed, and the sharp teeth turned into pieces and fell off.
After landing, it turned into black energy and dissipated.
Once the move was successful, Zhang Fei didn't stop and stabbed with his spear, directly beating the corpse to pieces.
After being broken to a certain extent, the corpse completely turns into black smoke and dissipates invisible.
Zhang Fei shook the snake spear eight feet long, shaking off the dirt on it, then looked at the spearhead with some distress, and then looked at Xia Yanzhen with resentment.
The gap on the spearhead is still there and is difficult to repair.
"gone."
Xia Yanzhen ignored Zhang Fei's gaze, waved his hand, turned around and left.
"Here we go"
"Well, my Taoist boy Xiaohong will be guarding with you. If you are tired, just leave it to him." Xia Yanzhen said.
He just came to see what a wight was.
Now that I have seen it and I know it well, I won’t keep it anymore.
The ghoul is stronger than the wild dog, but it is also limited. To ordinary people, it is definitely a terrifying monster.
Against the soldiers in the Three Kingdoms who have names and surnames and are not very useful - except for Zhang Fei, they are not a threat.
As strong as Zhang Fei, killing ghosts is as easy as picking out objects from a bag.
Just leave the job of guarding against the wights to Tiamat. With its strength, if you breathe the dragon's breath, the wights will be his.
"can you"
Zhang Fei looked away from the back of Xia Yanzhen who left gracefully and looked at Tiamat.
Tiamat said nothing, waved her hand, and a stream of psionic energy flew out and dispersed, and the corpses scattered around suddenly turned into ashes.
"That's right, you are a Taoist boy and can also teach the Dharma, so I'll leave it to you."
Zhang Fei yawned and left too.
Since Daochang Xia's Taoist boy is also good, he won't stay still.
Inside Qingzhou City.
Xia Yanzhen did not sleep, but stood in the Qingzhou military camp, a temporary weapons warehouse.
Next to him was Zou Jing: "Director Xia, these are the evil tricks of Taiping Dao monsters."
In front of me are several wooden boxes with bamboo tubes inside.
It was a thing used to throw Xia Yanzhen during the day and emit poisonous gas.
"It's interesting." Xia Yanzhen knelt down and took out a bamboo tube. This thing was a prop.
【Poison chimney】
[Made in Taipingdao, it will explode on its own after being hit by an external force, releasing poisonous smoke that can be fatal.]
[Please use it upwind, otherwise you may poison yourself.]
"Give these to me. Evil things from Taiping Dao should not be born." Xia Yanzhen said after putting them down.
"Uh...ok."
Zou Jing hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
He has the absolute right to dispose of these trophies, and the Qingzhou prefect will not fight for them.
Although these gadgets are very useful and can be used as battlefield weapons, compared with Xia Daochang, they are nothing but bullshit.
Even if there were thirty or forty boxes, let alone three or four boxes, Zou Jing would not even frown.
If Daochang Xia wants it, give it to him, no matter what!
Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand and put these poisonous chimneys into the imprinted space.
"Taoist Master, what kind of Taoist method is this?" Zou Jing almost jumped up.
"The universe is in the palm of your hand." Xia Yanzhen said after thinking about it.
"Can accommodate everything"
"Of course not, it's just to store some gadgets."
"Is the food and grass okay?" Zou Jing asked cautiously.
"Can."
"Taoist Priest!"
Zou Jing took a step back, lifted up the hem of his clothes, bowed his head and said, "Jing has been wandering for the rest of his life... No, Taoist priest! Please use this method to collect food and grass and help Jing to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits!"
In excitement, he almost said Lu Bu's famous saying.
