On a winter morning, the air is dry, cold and fresh.
Li Huizu sat quietly at the top of Beiling City, playing a horizontal flute that he had followed for thirty years. The sound of the flute was desolate and distant, echoing continuously.
When the song ended, Li Huizu seemed to be still immersed in the music, sitting there alone and motionless. This was the only childhood hobby that he still retained after joining the army.
It wasn't until the thin morning sun quietly sprinkled a ray of warm morning light into his arms that Li Huizu suddenly woke up.
He raised his head and looked towards the blue sky.
The rising sun was full of red fire. Just like the battlefield beneath his feet, there were corpses and bloodstains everywhere.
The corpses stretching for more than ten miles under the city of Beiling County appeared completely in his eyes in the first ray of sunshine in the morning, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his elegant face, a smile of relief.
This battle was won, beautifully won.
The north gate of the county town.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
Under the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Zhu Biao and the cavalry of thousands of troops behind him came galloping forward.
The fierce fighting day and night did not leave any trace of fatigue on Zhu Biao's face, and his face was filled with unconcealable joy and overflowing glory.
"I wish the general is back, I wish the general is back, open the city gate quickly——"
The defenders on the north city tower rode towards the thousands of troops running down the city with the most enthusiastic and admiring military salutes. These people are well-deserved role models and heroes in their minds!
pouring in from the open city gate, the thousands of cavalry behind Zhu Biao did not have the deep inner strength like him. They could not feel tired all day and night, and could also use upgrades to relieve fatigue, but at this moment, their faces were covered with dust and frost, and their bodies were exhausted.
A nameless strength burst out of their bodies, and everyone raised their heads and straightened their aching waists.
Vigorous and high-spirited, this army, which had the most outstanding achievements in the Battle of Beiling, returned to the camp amid the salute of tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the city head to the camp in the city, and joined the only two thousand remaining comrades of its unit.
This is a road of glory paved with golden light, a road of glory forged by illustrious military exploits. From this moment on, Zhu Biao’s tribe is the trump card of the entire Northern Han Army!
The hot broth had already been prepared. More than ninety of the thousand soldiers who disembarked from the horse fell to the ground. Chen Mengren immediately directed the few recovered soldiers in the camp to step forward to help. At the same time, another group of people also
One by one the war horses were led away.
Luo Yaxiu followed Zhu Biao. Why was Chen Mengren in charge in the military camp? That was because Zhu Chaozong, a man whom Zhu Biao had always felt could not see through and who had never opened his heart to accept him, had died in the fight at night.
Only 3,000 of the 7,000 cavalry who entered the encirclement were left, with a death rate of more than 50%. Zhu Chaozong was in the darkness before dawn - Li Huizu's army had defeated Uweituo's first army and was about to kill him.
Arriving at the encirclement, Uweituo fought to the death and once again mobilized three troops of ten thousand cavalry from the encirclement, and joined the defeated army to block Li Huizu's army again. After Sheng Tengfang and Zhu Biao noticed the change in the situation, they immediately led their men to fight back and felt that reinforcements were approaching.
The morale of the two Han troops also greatly increased. They fought bravely, but he died during the counterattack.
The death is like a husband, and death is like a lamp going out. Zhu Biao has nothing to pursue!
"Creak, creak..." The sound of the wooden wheel turning came from outside the camp.
"General, general, the marshal has sent someone to bring us wine..." The joyful voice of the first army guard guarding the gate came from afar. Zhu Biao's tribe only brought rations for one day to fight, let alone wine, even this military camp
The tents and tents in the military camp were all left by the barbarians. There was no shortage of food. Anyone could eat the dead horses, cattle and sheep.
"Congratulations to the general, it's too hard to fight day and night. The commander-in-chief said, eat well and drink well, then go and have a good sleep. When you are ready and full, it will not be too late to see him again!"
The person who came to deliver the wine turned out to be the deputy general of Li Huizu's army, the same bronze-armored general that Zhu Biao met outside the general's camp when he first went to Yuming County to meet Li Huizu.
"This...how can it be so rude?!"
"What is rude or not? Men in our army don't pay attention to those slanderous things. That's it. If the commander-in-chief says something, you can be polite even if you are rude."
Seeing that this guy was as honest as before, Zhu Biao looked at his back and smiled helplessly. His surname was Xing, and his name was Mao. He wielded a mountain-breaking axe, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to his own. Although he was in his thirties, he was older than him.
Much more.
After having enough food and wine, most people would be in high spirits at this time, but for Zhu Biaojun, who had been fighting non-stop for a day and night, he felt as warm and sleepy as the hot broth.
Zhu Biao left only about twenty of his own soldiers to guard the gate. The rest all got into the tent and fell asleep soundly, including the wounded soldiers.
Zhu Biao felt sad. If it were not for his own selfish motives and the army captured Beiling County before dawn, his troops would have been able to rest. No one would say otherwise. His troops had defeated this.
What he accomplished is an incomparable feat!
But, but, when Zhu Biao entered the city and intercepted a hundred tribesmen in an alley and started killing them, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the twenty or so people he killed actually gained ten gold!
In an instant, he realized that Beiling City was not only the royal residence of Uweituo, but also the residence of many Huqi family members and tribesmen. These people followed Uwetuo and ravaged most of Luozhou, plundering the wealth
I'm afraid a large part of them are concentrated here.
What does this mean in Zhu Biao's eyes? The golden light is shining. Zhu Biao's desire for the system's money is just like Li Huizu's desire for Beiling City, because Beiling City's treasury is full of supplies for hundreds of thousands of Huqi to continue fighting.
They used riding bows, leather armor and arrows, not to mention the millions of sheep surrounding them.
When the Han army captured Beiling City, it was equivalent to destroying Hu Qi's forward military supplies reserve. Although military supplies would continue to be sent from Jiuyuan and other places, these could not make up for the loss of Beiling City.
The huge impact of Hu Qi’s current operations.
From dawn to sunrise, about an hour before and after, the savings in Zhu Biao's system increased by 316 gold, 6 silver and 33 copper. This money was actually converted into 316,600 taels of silver, which is a very large number.
But compared with the death of Luozhou and the property looted by the barbarians, it was only a drop in the bucket.
Lying in the tent, Zhu Biao was not sleepy at all, because his system reserve reached a new high without even realizing it.
The highest moment before was the six hundred gold moment, but now,
The former had 106 gold left, and the two princes of the Ming Dynasty gave 7.8 gold. Then they entered the battlefield. Zhu Biaolian killed Mahajili, Da Xi Liwei and Tufa Qiling, thus harvesting 47 gold. Among the three,
Bald-haired Qiling's contribution accounted for more than half. But compared with the white-robed priests under Xinqiu City, it was just a piece of cake.
The white-robed priest is really a treasure, not to mention the weapons. Even the white-robed priest's clothes are rare items that are difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords. Although he does not wear earrings and a gold belt, there are two sides on the left and right sides of his waist.
There was a small trinket hanging on the wall that was left behind by the ancient ghost. Its total value was given to Zhu Biao at once, 551 gold and 2 silver!
Coupled with the 200 gold reward for completing the B-level mission and the 316 gold, 6 silver, 33 bronze and 1228 gold obtained from the chase, Zhu Biao's system savings record has doubled.
It is a must to buy a good swordsmanship book, and then enhance your own skills, or strengthen Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong?
Zhu Biao is in urgent need of a superior swordsmanship, this is absolutely certain. 1228 gold means cutting off half of it, and the remaining 600 gold is all used on himself. At most, it can push the internal strength to 5700- 5800, it will definitely not reach the 6000 mark. But if it is used on Zhu Zhong, Zhu Tong and even Dou Bing, Zhou Yunfei and Mu Xuehua, each one has a small return pill, that is a qualitative leap!
Since practicing "Hunyuan Gong", the rate of growth of internal strength has become slower and slower. From the original 10-point guarantee of three days of hard training, it has dropped directly to less than 1 point per day. Although this is not as good as Zhu Biao's practice time. It has a lot to do with it, but there is no doubt that the internal strength is close to fifty years old and has almost reached the limit of "Hunyuan Gong".
60/70, just one step away from entering the seventh level of "Hunyuan Gong". Zhu Biao himself could predict that the internal strength value would be 6,000 points, which would be the pinnacle of "Hunyuan Gong".
Having just relieved his immediate worries, long-term worries came again. Zhu Biao showed a wry smile, sighed, and focused his attention on the system bar.
Dozens of first-class swordsmanship from the Gold system are included, including the familiar ones such as "Miao Family Sword", "Yuxiao Sword", "Luoying Divine Sword", "Jade Girl Sword", "Quanzhen Sword", "Dharma" "Sword Technique", "Thirteen Swords of Shenmen", "Finger-winding Soft Sword", "Hengshan Sword Technique", "Taishan Eighteen Pans", "Songshan Sword Technique", "Yangwu Sword", "Xiyi Sword", etc. Wait, it’s all there.
Zhu Biao has long been familiar with these. Most of these famous swordsmanship are from the Condor Trilogy and "Swordsman", because these books are the most famous among the gold novels. , the latter is a large collection of various sword techniques, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, all of which are good, but none of them match him.
At the level of first-class swordsmanship, the two swordsmanships that Zhu Biao really values are not listed above, but come from Jinda's first novel "Book and Sword Enmity" - "Three Points" "Sword Technique" and "Seventy-two Soul-Chasing and Life-Destroying Swords".
The former is the twin eagles of the Tianshan Mountains, and is the descendant of Huo Qingtong, a strange woman of the generation. The latter is the second head of the Red Flower Society, Wuchen Taoist Priest, and is unparalleled in the world with his swordsmanship.
"Three-Point Sword Technique" - Each hand is used until one-third of the way. Just as the enemy is about to parry, the sword technique has changed. There are three moves in one move. It is the most complicated and cruel. There is no defensive stance in this sword technique. It's the offensive killing.
"Seventy-two Soul-Chasing and Life-Destroying Swords" - Swift and pungent, as soon as the enemy stabs out with one sword, he has already thrust out 4 or 5 swords, leaving no room for retreat, advancing without retreating!
Both sword techniques have one thing that Zhu Biao likes - there is no defense, only killing moves. But there are also things that make Zhu Biao suspicious. The "Three-Point Sword Technique" is because there are three moves in one move, which is very cruel. Before the word "spicy" there is "the most complicated"; "Seventy-two Soul Chasing Soul-Destroying Sword" is the "Serial Lost Legs" that Taoist Master Wuchen cooperates with.
