Although Wu Xin made it clear that he would not let the Tang army go, he did not immediately lead his army in pursuit, but retreated to the city to rest.
After all, after such a long fierce battle, the soldiers were exhausted and it was not suitable to fight anymore. Moreover, the weather with thunderstorms and strong winds was indeed not suitable for an attack.
In this decisive battle, the Tang Army suffered a huge defeat, and the Li Army also suffered heavy casualties. The Hulei Army and Wolong Army, which already suffered heavy casualties, almost suffered all casualties, with only less than ten thousand each left.
Even the 30,000 Xinwu Jingwei suffered more than 5,000 casualties and nearly one-fifth of their losses. This was still under the protection of the "formation formation", otherwise the casualties would have been doubled several times.
However, the spoils of war were also extremely rich. Not to mention the harvest outside the territory, the number of ownerless horses left over from the battlefield alone was as high as more than 70,000, of which nearly 20,000 suffered injuries of varying severity. However, the dead horses,
There are more, hundreds of thousands of them, and it’s hard to count them.
In other words, the Tang army lost more than 200,000 cavalry in this battle. Fortunately, only half of them were Beidi cavalry. However, the Tang army was severely injured and its vitality was severely damaged.
If we look at value alone, in these troubled times where "people are worth less than horses", Lijun has had a great harvest.
This is also a characteristic of fighting cavalry. If defeated, it is difficult to escape. Except for some strong men, the two legs of the soldiers will definitely not be able to outrun the four legs of the war horse! This is also the loss that Li Guo suffered under the enemy's cavalry storm tactics.
It was so heavy that most of the defeated army could not escape.
However, if you win, the rewards will be extremely rich, and the war horse alone is worth a lot of money!
In troubled times, human lives are worthless and it is relatively easy to recruit troops, but war horses, on the other hand, will become a scarce resource. It cannot be said that war horses are priceless but not marketable, but if you want to buy them in large quantities, they are really priceless but not marketable!
Now that the Li army has captured more than 70,000 horses, the disparity between the cavalry between the Li army and the enemy is quite close, which is enough to deal with.
…
City Lord's Mansion, secret room.
After returning to the city, Wu Xin forced himself to press the "Reincarnation Xuan Gong" that he was eager to advance to, and instead took the lead in counting the harvest.
There are six storage rings, respectively from Xiahou Tianying, Cao Xuanren and four late-stage Jindan people; fourteen storage bags, respectively from ten tiger and leopard knights and four foundation-building followers (comparable to the martial arts refining realm)!
The spiritual stones are piled up like a mountain. There are 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones alone, 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, and a million low-grade spiritual stones. The remaining zeros and mantissas can be ignored!
This batch of spiritual stones just makes up for Wu Xin's problem of lacking spiritual stones.
Wu Xin had previously obtained a large number of spiritual stones from the "Fire Control Token", but by providing Wu Xin and the Martial God Turtle with cultivation and using them in the formations for the founding ceremony of the Li Kingdom, they had long been exhausted, otherwise the Martial God Turtle would have been cultivating.
The way can go even further.
There are countless other gold, silver, jewelry, classics, elixirs, etc. They don't look like refugees at all, but more like inheritors of power, who bring such rich "wealth" with them.
There are also twenty or thirty volumes of exercises, secrets, etc., which are basically rare treasures that point directly to the great road and can point people to the path beyond the "fairyland".
What interests Wu Xin most are the three classics:
The Great Wei Empire's national treasure book: "Purple Emperor Town World Code", Xiahou's clan's treasure book: "Tian Lei Canon", Xiahou Tianying's main skill "Sky Eagle Divine Art"!
The three volumes are quite complete and are not fragments. Neither Cao Xuanren nor Xiahou Tianying had any reason to bring such a complete treasure book to this deserted land.
"Purple Emperor Town World Code" is the true emperor's book. It focuses on the power of the emperor and makes Wu Xin's foggy road to the emperor much clearer.
"Tian Lei Canon", as the name suggests, specializes in thunder power and is famous for its attack power. Just like Wu Xin's understanding of Wei general Xiahou Dun, his attack is also super strong.
"Eagle Divine Technique", Wu Xin mainly considered Hongbo. Hongbo's main method was "Eagle Claw Technique". This is a popular technique, not a rare or advanced technique, but Hongbo relied on it to cultivate the gods. In this situation, every step forward is extremely difficult now, and you need to understand and explore on your own.
Of course, all the exercises are cultivation system exercises and are not suitable for practice in this world.
It's useless for Wu Xin to distribute it directly. He doesn't have enough spiritual energy, so he can only rely on spiritual stones, and others definitely don't have that many spiritual stones.
In other words, although the exercises are good, they are a pile of waste. At most they serve the purpose of imitating and increasing knowledge.
This is also the fundamental reason why countless ancient exercises have been lost. It is useless to keep them!
Of course, today's human race's martial arts secrets are basically adapted from cultivation techniques or barbarian techniques. They are the work of countless ancestors, including the five great books.
Hong Bo wants to practice "Sky Eagle Divine Art" and either revise it or adapt it.
Wu Xin will definitely provide Hong Bo with enough spiritual stones, and he will pay more attention to Hong Bo than the Martial God Turtle. However, he will not interfere with Hong Bo's choice!
Finally, the treasures that Wu Xin pays attention to are the Pagoda Purgatory Tower, Sky Eagle Claws, Tiger and Leopard Equipment and other treasures!
The martial arts system and the cultivation system are different, and the nature of their power is naturally different.
For example, Hongbo could not fully control the magical weapon "Eagle Claw" when he took it. With Hongbo's cultivation level comparable to that of the Golden Core Stage, he could only exert 60% to 70% of its power. In addition, it was driven by martial arts power, and It needs to be weakened some more.
In general, Hong Bo's use of "Eagle Claws" can only achieve 50% or 60% of the effect, but it is still enough to be arrogant in the world. In terms of the essential material alone, nothing can compare to it and nothing can stop it.
Transformation is also possible, and it is definitely easier than adapting the exercises. However, Li Guo definitely does not have such talents!
"From this point of view, it seems that Cao Xuanren, Xiahou Tianying and others came here to escape, and they certainly did not come for revenge. Then Mr. Xiahou is not that valuable. Should he be the retreat of the Wei Empire? He is the Wei Empire's escape route Is it a plan, or is it Cao Xuanren’s personal doing?”
After checking the harvest, even with Wu Xin's character, he couldn't help but be inexplicably excited, his heartbeat quickened, but he also calmly pondered.
"The focus now is on the 'Buddha Tower of Purgatory'..."
Others didn't know what the "Great Qin Immortal Dynasty" was, but Wu Xin had some knowledge, although not much, at least he had a vague idea.
Just looking at the reactions of Xiahou Tianying and Cao Xuanren, they are definitely behemoths countless times more powerful than the Wei Empire.
As expected, it was because of this tower that Cao Xuanren and Xiahou Tianying came to this deserted land.
It’s not wrong to say it’s a refuge!
The majestic Nascent Soul was tortured to death by a group of ant-like soldiers. In addition to military strength, it also had a lot to do with the fact that Xiahou Tianying could not replenish his spiritual energy here, and the consumption was far greater than the recovery.
"The Sutra of Pagoda and the Suppression of Prison?! It is a book that truly points to the Dao, and it uses killing to prove the Dao..."
A moment later, after Wu Xin initially refined the "Pagoda Purgatory Tower", he was the first to obtain a skill. Only the first part shocked Wu Xin.
Not to mention the content, it is definitely the most top-notch treasure book that Wu Xin has obtained so far.
What's more important is...the implication.
"How did such a treasure and inheritance fall into the hands of Cao Xuanren?"
"Proving the Way by Killing, It Couldn't Be Owned by the Killing God of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, right? How could it fall into the hands of the Cao family or Cao Xuanren?"
"If this is really the case, then the matter is serious..."
"In this abandoned barbaric land, the powerful outsiders really don't want to come. Exhaustion is far better than recovery, and there is still no way to make any progress after nine deaths. However, if the killing god comes, it will be enough to kill all the people in the world before exhausting their cultivation.
, is this the final crazy meaning of Cao Xuanren and Xia Hou Tianying?" (~^~)
