In one day, the Northern Territory army killed hundreds of thousands of the eight sect alliance armies.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses dyed the entire Xuanwu Nu River red, and hundreds of thousands of corpses burned in the fire.
No one can answer Prince Nangong’s question, must war be like this?
Lin Yun had no way to answer. He didn't even turn around to look at the fire, but he could feel the scorching heat on his back.
Lin Yun looked into the distance. War has never had a real definition.
At this time, Hu Heixin had led 10,000 light cavalry to their destination, which was the Tailiang Sect, the sect of the bearded Sect Leader Zhang.
The scene in front of him made Hu Heixin stop his march.
"General Tiger! These bastards are so inhumane!"
"General, what should we do next?"
When this scene appeared in front of the soldiers, everyone sneered, showing great disdain and even disgust.
Hu Heixin frowned. He looked at the soldiers wearing gorgeous armors at the city gate, and there was anger burning in his heart.
Thousands of soldiers stood at the city gate. These were the remaining disciples of Tailiang Sect and the deacons and elders. Standing at the front was a short, wretched-looking middle-aged man.
This man is the deputy sect leader of Tailiang Sect, and his strength is the fourth level Martial Emperor.
As early as after the Northern Territory Army captured the eight sect alliance armies, every sect received the news.
In order to facilitate communication, hundreds of post stations have been established between the eight sects, so that news can be conveyed as soon as possible.
After the deputy sect leader learned that the eight sects' alliance army was defeated, he immediately understood that the next step of the Northern Territory Army was to capture these eight sects.
He immediately made a decision and summoned all the old men, women and children in the city, and actually formed a human wall to block the city gate.
But what Hu Heixin's army saw at this moment was the tens of thousands of old men, women and children, trembling and with fear in their eyes, standing in front of the Tailiang Sect soldiers, forming a huge human shield.
"Shameless! Despicable!" Hu Heixin spat, despising Tailiang Zong.
"The deputy sect leader's plan is really great!" Standing next to the deputy sect leader was another young man who was also an elder of the Tailiang Sect, and he said diligently at this moment.
After all, they all understood that if Sect Master Zhang was captured, he would either be killed or surrendered to the Northern Territory. From now on, the Deputy Sect Master would probably have the final say in the Tailiang Sect.
"General Tiger! Please give the order!" The adjutant walked up to Hu Heixin and asked Hu Heixin to give the order.
Hu Heixin glared at the deputy sect master with angry eyes, but did not give the order for a long time.
Although Lin Yun has already said that in this war, everyone, whether ordinary people or warriors, will be killed.
But facing more than 10,000 elderly women and children, Hu Heixin still hesitated at this moment.
The dark wind blew past in waves, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes.
The old men, women and children shivered in the cold wind, fearing that Hu Heixin would not care about their lives and would trample his cavalry over their bodies.
The deputy sect leader looked proud and seemed to be very satisfied with his plan.
Hu Heixin looked angry, feeling ashamed of Tailiang Zong for such inhumane practices.
The two sides remained in a stalemate, and the spies reported that other armies had captured all the remaining seven sects.
The only one that has not yet been captured is the Tailiang Sect in front of us.
Just when Hu Heixin was hesitating whether to march, a blue energy ball suddenly appeared in mid-air, like a falling meteor, and hit the group of old people, women and children.
No one reacted, not even some of the Martial Emperors felt the aura of this blue energy ball condensing.
They only felt a beautiful blue light flash in their eyes, followed immediately by an earth-shattering explosion.
boom--!
A huge explosion shook the earth and the mountains. Tens of thousands of old people, women and children, including the soldiers hiding behind them, all gradually disappeared in the light of the fire.
Everyone was stunned and looked at this scene in disbelief.
A mushroom cloud thousands of meters high shrouded the sky above Tailiang Sect.
It was like a piece of bad news, announcing that all these ten thousand people were dead.
"This..." Hu Heixin's eyes were dull and he almost fell off the horse.
He knew the origin of this blue energy ball. He had seen that even the Emperor Wu was completely destroyed in this blue energy ball, let alone these old people, women and children who had no power to restrain a chicken.
"Why..." Hu Heixin saw the figure floating in the air and became furious. Just as he was about to question the figure, a hand gently placed on his shoulder.
Hu Heixin turned around and found Yasuo standing behind him, with a cold face and shook his head at him.
"That's more than 10,000 lives!" Hu Heixin was still dissatisfied. He didn't understand why Lin Yun could be so cruel and ruthless. He killed more than 10,000 old people, women and children without saying a word.
"Hu Heixin, what are you waiting for?" At this time, Lin Yun's extremely cold voice sounded in Hu Heixin's ears.
Hu Heixin gritted his teeth, but he was helpless and ordered in a cold voice, "Attack the city! Leave no one behind! Kill them all for me!"
A mighty force of ten thousand light cavalry rushed into the Tailiang Sect like bandits.
In the explosion of the 'Wind and Thunder Fire Bomb', the entire city gate of Tailiang Sect was blown up, and now the soldiers of Tailiang Sect have not reacted at all.
"It's you damn! I'll kill you!" Hu Heixin jumped up on his horse, his tiger hair exploded, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his tiger claws were aimed at the deputy sect leader of 'Tai Liang City', trying to kill him
All the anger was vented on him.
The deputy sect master was so horrified that he did not dare to face Hu Heixin at all, so he pulled the young elder beside him in front of him.
Then he slapped him on the back with another palm, pushed him towards Hu Heixin, turned around and ran away.
Lin Yun slowly fell from mid-air and stood beside the large crater blasted by the wind and thunder bombs, looking at the ashes inside.
A few seconds ago, these ashes were still living people.
Yasuo followed Lin Yun and no longer asked any questions at this moment.
Lin Yun felt a little sad in his heart. Killing hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Eight Cities Alliance Army was actually different from killing more than 10,000 civilians.
As a soldier, you must be prepared to die in battle.
But these old people, women and children are innocent.
"War has always been like this." At this moment, Lin Yun answered the question that Prince Nangong asked him not long ago.
The Battle of Nujiang ended with the capture of the last sect, Tailiang Sect.
The remaining dozen cities managed by the Eight Sects were reduced to ruins under the offensive of the northern army.
The Northern Territory army was stationed in the grassy plains in a mighty manner. Everyone knew that the war was not over yet, but had just begun.
