Jinyu Pavilion went to the north, and Ye Qing relied on the magic weapon to slowly fly back south, returning to the ancient battlefield in the west of the county.
It was already dawning, and the sun was shining down on this ancient plateau, with its faint mountains and endless mountains, bringing with it a vast and vast atmosphere, and everything returned to calm.
After the war, tens of thousands of bones were laid out on this battlefield. Because they were conquered by Taoists from outside the realm, the Yin soldiers and generals who died in the battle immediately became corrupted. It seemed that after decades, only these bones remained.
Even under the sun, these unwilling spiritual fogs of Yin Qi are still over the ancient battlefield. The core is so dense that even sunlight cannot penetrate it. Birds that get up early to look for food will avoid this area.
On the black lake in the center, Yin Qi condenses in the water. The fresh air in the morning carries a bone-chilling chill. There are no human troops staying by the lake. They are camping far away.
There is an army of silver heroic spirits patrolling. They are at ease with such a rich Yin Qi environment and are nourished by obvious benefits. Before the Yin Qi dissipates, they can move around the ancient battlefield even during the day.
In the center of the heroic spirits, there is a simple altar, stacked several levels, with two lanterns hung, and the Ye family's black mother flag and the silver flag of the heroic spirits.
General Wei is sitting on the altar. He is very preoccupied. He is just lost in thought under the dim light of the lantern. Looking from a distance, the altar is dark and the cold air can make people tremble. Only the general himself
, shrouded in a layer of golden light.
This is how it communicates with the depths of the earth, connecting its divine power with this new ancient battlefield.
Occasionally, Qi practitioners come in and exchange some necessary information with the heroic spirits. They come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. They will not stay in the deepest part of the ancient battlefield... This is the node where the Yin side of the world appears in the Yang world. It is absolutely
The world of the dead.
There is such a strange scene when the living and the dead get along. Those who have experienced the last battle in Beiman Mountain are used to it, not to mention the veterans who have fought in the bloody sea of Xiatu Corpse Mountain. What they focus on now is rest and
Adjust and calmly prepare for the next war.
The recruits recruited before this battle lacked knowledge. Although they won, they were still pale, looked at each other in panic, their muscles twitched, their knees shook slightly, and they had not yet recovered their breath.
Occasionally, I was bold, and paid attention to the heroic army I saw from time to time in the mist, wearing armor with carved talismans. I couldn't help but feel a little envious, but I relatively calmly accepted these robes who had fought together. They really didn't have much to fight with the enemy.
Good to calculate.
"But it always feels like a miracle that heroic spirits only in this kind of legendary songs join the battle..."
The outer edge of the dark ancient battlefield became brighter and more popular. There were large tents with flags, and each flag had a solemn atmosphere.
Groups of soldiers went in and out of the camp, carrying the wounded and collecting corpses. Groups of soldiers followed the army to carry water, make food, and feed the horses.
The Ye family army used regular military methods from the beginning, so the camp was quite organized. Even after the war, arrow towers were set up for patrols, which further highlighted the military's discipline.
The repaired contiguous main camp, wounded soldiers camp, and supply camp were all in order, and even the weapons and armor of the dead on both sides had been sorted and collected.
The human armor can be repaired depending on the situation, while the Yin soldiers can only hand it over to the heroic spirits to absorb the Yin energy, and then recast the metal. It was cleared up in a short time, leaving only the scattered gravel and sawdust on the ground to witness the bloody battle last night.
Jiang Chen patrolled the camp, paying attention to preparations and talking to several of Zhou Feng's colleagues who had touched the forbidden threshold.
"The general is the courage of the whole army, and the flag is the soul of the whole army."
"You may not be able to see clearly yet, but you should also be able to feel it."
"My lord has obtained the mother flag of Black Virtues. It has been released from the ban and has been refined into the flag of the Five Virtues. However, the first step of each sub-flag is Black Virtues."
"Each military flag can condense military spirit and perform all kinds of incredible domain magic. You have all felt this. However, the strength of the flag still depends on the victory or defeat in the army."
Zhou Feng and others nodded. Although he could not clearly see the aura, he could vaguely see that on the flag, a large area of gray and white aura gathered, with traces of red aura, revealing a deep light.
"My family started from Yejiazhuang, and now we have fought in more than ten battles, big and small, without ever losing. This is the sign of the cohesion of military morale."
"The black virtue is water, it is Yin, and it is murderous."
"Jin De is the main killer, in line with the military formation"
"And the red air is close to fire, burning the surrounding areas."
"This can be used as the main force in the army. Since you have decided to accept the promotion to the military master, you must understand the origin of the military strategist. The military strategist is closely related to the three virtues above, but it is also a spiritual path that is the main body of the system."
"You must remember that our path is different from that of our master. The difference lies not in virtue, but in the essence of the system's subjects."
"The princes also have wars, but they pay more attention to the maintenance of peace... and the army is the most eccentric extreme in the system. For this system that is nourished by victory, its life always rushes from one war to the next.
A war, and the temporary peace is better said to be the preparation period for a new war. Look at that..."
There was a tumbling of earth and rocks on the ground in the distance, and the sound of a special drilling array was heard. The magician analyzed the formation and followed the diagram. He dug out the enemy's foreign formations that had been buried underground one by one, and re-buried them in his own house to prepare in advance.
of array.
This is a job that requires manpower and energy. It is only after the treatment in the wounded barracks is basically completed that the follow-up tasks can be carried out as planned. When the light of the node rises, the control of the ancient battlefield is completely in the hands.
"Now that we are well prepared, it will be extremely difficult for the enemy to fight for it again. Just like the Jinyu Pavilion last night, they have to take advantage of the opportunity and fall directly in front of the main formation to finish... These are my lord's habits. I have to say that my lord's cultivation has improved recently.
As a result, our abilities have greatly increased.”
"To reduce risks and increase profits for the Ye family, it actually transfers this part of the task to us. In addition to political performance and military merit, many of the daily assessment parts of rewards and punishments are based on this. The maintenance of these established rules is what we do as ministers.
It’s my responsibility…”
As Jiang Chen said this, he saw that Zhou Feng and Jiang Peng seemed to have some enlightenment, while several rougher generals in Hong Zhou stared at them, so they simply turned to topics they were more interested in.
"In short, in one sentence, as the commanders of each battalion, on the premise of personal cultivation, you must protect the flag more and win more battles. The rewards from the lord will enhance our cultivation. Finally, we will become one with the army and have a chance to break through the military realm.
It’s much bigger.”
"Hey, Commander Jiang, you told me earlier, isn't it just that the master eats meat and we drink soup?" Hong Zhou laughed loudly and found that his wisdom and awareness had reached a new level.
At this time, several rays of light came towards the main tent of the camp from the north. The green rays of light escaped midway and fell in front of everyone, revealing Ye Qing's figure, looking like he was in a good mood.
"Lord" everyone hurriedly saluted
Ye Qing smiled and asked everyone to stand up. Without saying anything, he looked at the camp. Due to another glorious victory, although the soldiers were exhausted, the army's appearance and military spirit were still there, their murderous intent was solemn, and there were more elites. He felt happy in his heart.
Jiang Chen knew the strategic purpose of Ye Qing's visit. Seeing that his lord came back much later than expected and missing the Jinyu Pavilion, he couldn't help but asked worriedly: "My lord, are you okay? Have you intercepted the thief's head?"
Ye Qing waved his hand: "We've intercepted her. The Water Palmist has gone to the northern mountain pass to check. I feel there's something going on there... When she comes back, we'll discuss revising the next plan."
When he said this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at it.
In the distance, there was smoke and dust, and an army of aristocratic families was arriving one after another, with the leader carrying the banner of "Li".
"The Li family in Ban'an County?" Ye Qing frowned a little. His impression of this guy in his previous life was not very good. He died as a result and his family was wiped out. He shook his head and said, "Let someone go and take a look."
"Mr. Ji has already gone over to take a look." Jiang Chen said.
In the distance, more than ten riders went over to negotiate and returned quickly. This was Ji Caizhu's Yu Jian style.
Ye Qing stopped and waited for Ji Caizhu to come over and asked, "What did they say?"
"Two thousand cavalry from Ban'an County came to support. Some aristocratic families headed by the Li family followed the relationship with the soil. The Taoist sent by Li Yunzhen said that they came to pay homage to the alliance leader. The greeting card from Shaohanzi, the real person in Lingchi, also said that the lord
Old acquaintance." When Ji Caizhu said this, he paused intentionally and looked at Ye Qing.
"How do you know Shao Hanzi?" Ye Qing had an inexplicable look on his face. After thinking about it, he kept recalling his past life, but he still had no memory, which was strange - he had been comrades-in-arms with many real people in the county in his previous life, but he didn't even remember the county.
There is this guy here, how come we are old acquaintances?
Ji Caizhu knew what he knew, and added: "The master of the Shaohan Clan, at a monk meeting of the Taoist Sect in the early summer, the lord participated in the meeting as a Jinshi, and may have met him... The Shaohan Clan is considered to be attached to the Li family of the county.
The Little Immortal Sect has recently failed the examination, but the news from the Dao Sect has not yet spread. It was revealed by the Yunshui Sect during the last information exchange..."
"Oh, and also, this group of people came from the northeast. Commander Zhang led the cavalry to pursue them. I heard that these guys wanted to come here to take credit. They marched through a forest on the way and were unprepared. They were almost killed by a thousand fleeing Yin Cavalry.
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Ji Caizhu explained a little: "Well, it is said that it is all because of the new recruits. The veterans were all taken away by Yu Fan, the magistrate of Ban'an County."
"Please wait for them." Ye Qing waved his hand. He had no time to deal with these random guys at the moment... Although he was a new recruit, he was still part of the county's watch organization. He was crushed by a small group of Yin Riders who were escaping. Could he be any more incompetent?
?
"Wait for me to read the battle report..."
A group of civil and military personnel entered the main tent. There was no business with the magician group at this time. Qianqian and Cao Baijing, the chief and deputy captains, returned and did not show up again.
Jiang Chen reported a detailed list of losses: "The entire coalition suffered 6,700 casualties, including 3,600 minor injuries and 2,000 serious injuries. These injuries can basically be stabilized if treated by magicians, but
One thousand, eight hundred and forty-two people were killed directly in battle."
When Jiang Chen said this, he felt regretful.
Ye Qing pressed his hand on this thin report. It was a simple and rough piece of paper, but it felt as slippery as if it had been soaked in blood.
Ye Qing sat silently and said nothing. This was the biggest casualty since the start of the army. After a long time, he woke up from his shock and said: "Let all the masters of the offensive and defensive alliance come and listen..."
