All those who were lucky enough not to be swallowed up by the flames, whether they were wolves or the Northland Army, all stared blankly at the scene in front of them that was like the coming of gods and demons. The uncontrollable fear in their hearts made them unable to move.
, the body is hot and the heart is cold.
At this time, the turbulent and swirling flame storm finally dissipated and collapsed suddenly. The flames turned into actual flowing fire, just like the rolling lava after a volcanic eruption, sweeping in all directions, once again expanding the scope of destruction.
There is more than enough inside, almost swallowing up all the vitality in half of the battlefield.
At this point, the clouds have subsided and the rain has stopped, and the storm has dissipated.
What replaced it was a devastated battlefield, half made up of the flesh and blood of the dead and the sluggishness of the living, and half made up of charred, naked and faintly crystallized ground. The only exception was the unharmed chariot in the center, including the puller.
The horses of the carriage, Li Mu, and the source of all changes, Gu Xun.
Gu Xun's face turned a little pale, and the meridians in his body felt empty and dry for a while. This was a feeling he had not experienced in a long time.
Fortunately, the effort was not in vain. The sword just now killed nearly one-third of the wolf soldiers.
At this time, in addition to all the sluggish soldiers from both sides, Li Mu's large reinforcements finally arrived, and the encirclement was completely formed. Touman, as well as all the wolf tribesmen present, had nowhere to escape.
Gu Xun looked around, saw everything, and smiled slightly, "Haha, General, the time is just right!"
………………
The war ended, and the result was as Li Mu had first expected. Touman died, and his wolf army was also buried outside Yanmen Pass.
Gu Xun's sword destroyed everyone's sanity. Touman was unable to organize the remaining tens of thousands of troops to resist until his death. He himself did not even die at the hands of Gu Xun, but was killed by the Six-fingered Black Man. Of course, Gu Xun's sword also left a deep impression on the Northland Army that will last a lifetime, but since he was not an enemy, the Northland Army was at least not as crazy as the Wolf Clan.
The results of this battle spread to the Seven Kingdoms, but the grace of Gu Xun's sword was concealed by Li Mu.
This is Gu Xun's request. He doesn't want to be stared at by all the forces of the Seven Kingdoms in the future, and he doesn't want to irritate the kings of the Seven Kingdoms. Life can't be as plain as water, but it's best not to be all rough and turbulent.<
/p>
Fortunately, the Northland border army has strict military discipline and Li Mu's strict restraint. This matter has basically not spread widely. There are few rumors, and generally no one believes it. It is just a legend.
The Six-fingered Black Man also restricted the Momen disciples not to spread the word about this matter.
In addition, Li Mu asked the Northern Army to clean up the scene that day and destroy the traces caused by Gu Xun, so the matter was truly concealed.
Apart from those involved, the person who knows the most details is probably... Mao Dun, who fled in panic.
………………
The day after the war, outside Yunzhong County, in the Maodun military camp.
"King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Xian!" The scout who reported the news hurried to the Chinese army's tent with an anxious look on his face.
Mao Dun was in the camp, listening to the impatient shouts outside, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a very bad premonition.
He has been restless these past few days, worried that there will be a big problem with Touman. Unfortunately, there is a time limit for the transmission of military information, so he can only wait restlessly. Now he finally got the information, but...
"Say, what's wrong!?"
As soon as the scout entered the camp, before he could speak, Mao Dun shouted and asked in a panic.
The scout did not dare to neglect and reported quickly, "King Zuo Xian, something bad happened, Shan Yu... Shan Yu he died in battle!"
"Well..." Mao Dun said nothing, already staring at the scout, waiting for his next words.
If it was just Touman who died, it would definitely be an out-and-out happy event for him, but this scout was his old subordinate, and he knew all about the discord between him and Touman. It was just a matter of death.
He is tall and does not look panicked.
"In addition to Shanyu, there were also more than 80,000 troops under King Yougu Li, Wang Ting's subordinates and King Yougu Li. The entire army was wiped out, and no one survived."
"What!? No one survived, the entire army was wiped out? How is this possible?" Upon hearing the news, Mao Dun immediately lost his composure and roared.
"Back to your Majesty, it's true... they are all dead. We have been searching for a long time, but we haven't found any remnants of the soldiers who escaped."
"This...how is this possible..." Mao Dun slumped back, sat down on his seat, and murmured absently.
From the beginning, he was optimistic about Li Mu, and he hardly thought that his old father had any chance of winning, but he did not expect that the old man could lose so completely!
Total destruction!
He originally thought that either Touman would die and the army would collapse, or Touman would not die, but the army suffered heavy casualties, either way would be a good thing for him.
Now that Touman is dead, he can legitimately gather the remaining soldiers as the first heir to the throne as King Zuo Xian, strengthen his own strength, and then return to the royal court to deal with the damn Yan family and that little bastard.<
/p>
Touman is not dead, but has lost a large number of troops. The power of the royal court is bound to decline, and it will take a long time to cultivate. He can take this opportunity to develop a wave and then pursue a great cause.
As a result, both are gone now, what should he do?
As soon as Touman dies, a new Chanyu must be elected. However, with only the 10,000 people under his command, plus the remaining part of King Zuo Xian's tribe, there are only 20,000 people at most. If he wants to control the head of the royal court,
It's a bit difficult for the Manlan family to fight... not to mention the two unstable factors of King Youxian and King Zuoguli.
Theoretically, among the four kings of the wolf tribe, the most powerful one is King Zuoxian. However, Mao Dun has been targeted by the royal court, King Youxian, and King Guli on the left and right at the same time. He has been struggling to develop in the cracks over the years.
, the expansion of power is extremely slow, and the actual strength is almost at the end, evenly matched with King Yougu Li.
It's really unrealistic for him to go back one against three in his current state...well...it's really unrealistic.
"Go and invite Lord Tuqi." Modun came back from his thoughts and ordered the scouts below.
……
Not even a moment later, the hunched old Tuqi came to the tent with a cane.
"Lord Zuoxian Wang, are you looking for me?"
"Old Tuqi, Touman Shanyu died, died in the hands of wolf hunters."
Hearing this, Old Tuqi's cloudy eyes flashed with confusion, and he couldn't help but confirm, "Are you sure?"
"The scout has been identified." Mao Dun nodded and replied in a solemn tone, "Not only him, but also the entire army under Wang Ting and King Yougu Li were wiped out."
When Lao Tuqi saw his confirmed appearance, he fell into silence and said after a long time:
"In this case, the darkness I saw a few days ago may be a variable..."
