Although everyone knew that this battle would be tragic and many people would die, the final tally of casualties was still shocking.
The number of people killed in the battle in the northern border reached 1,300. There were more than 200 people seriously injured who did not die in the field.
Nearly 800 people were killed in the battle in the south, more than 280 were seriously injured, and the rest were injured.
This is when Chen Xianyang's people began to flee a lot, so the total number of casualties on both sides exceeded 2,000!
If you add the three people who died in the ambush at Qigui Village, the number of people killed on both sides would reach more than 3,000. It is too tragic. Today is truly the day of death. It is also a "taotie" feast for countless gods of death.
But no matter how tragic, they finally won the victory that turned the situation around.
In the first battle, the southern territory was taken back.
They also took back their homes.
From now on, they no longer have to face the endless pursuit of Beifu and hide in Tibet.
Lin Yi first ordered people to quickly treat the wounded. He also ordered a hundred people to clear the battlefield and dig large pits in the nearby mountains and forests to bury the dead from both sides.
The Piaoling Island was the worst. The fight with Chen Xianyang in the beginning was actually a massacre on the Piaoling Island. Although Chen Xianyang died later, the others returned to Meimei. But by the end of the battle, there were more than 300 people in the Piaoling Island (plus
People loyal to Chen Xianyang), more than 60 people were left dead. About 20 others were seriously injured.
Chen Xianyang, Xiahou Haifeng, Wu Lingjie, Luo Xiegu, Old Man Piaoling, Haiyan... are all dead.
After clearing the battlefield, no black and white figures were found, and it was not known whether they were dead or alive.
There are more than a thousand people on Piaoling Island, excluding women, children, old and young, and some miscellaneous people. There were six to seven hundred masters on Piaoling Island back then! No one dared to underestimate them. In the past few years, after experiencing attrition, internal strife, and today's battle, it can be said that
The casualties were all over.
When Meimei heard this report, she looked lost and muttered to herself as if she was dreaming: "They are all dead, Piaoling Island is over... Empress, Island Master, and the ancestors of Piaoling Island, I am sorry for you..."
Of course, it's not just Piaoling Island, all the other families are also dead and injured.
Such a brutal battle is like a big melting pot that can swallow up many lives.
Cleaning up the battlefield, neither the black and white figures were seen, nor Wang returned. Zeng Xiaotong reported to Lin Yi that Wang returned to chase a guy who was covered in hair and looked like an ape-man.
Lin Yi immediately understood the reason.
He also ordered people to search near the mountains and forests, but there was still no sight of the black and white statues and Wang Guigui.
Lin Yi used the Tianyin Soul Searching Technique to call out for his return, but there was no response.
And the whole mountain is so big that it is impossible to search it all.
Lin Yi knew that the ape-man king was at home in the mountains and forests, and he was very worried about Wang Guihui and the two gods of heaven and earth.
Lin Yi injected a large amount of zhenqi into her mother's body and finally saved her life for the time being. However, Li Yan was very weak and fell into a coma when she was awake. This made Lin Yi and Zuo Jingjing very worried.
The fire in Piaoling Courtyard was finally extinguished, but the entire mansion was still shrouded in smoke. When the people who guarded the mansion learned that the situation was over, they set fires everywhere, setting fire to at least fifty or sixty houses. Although it was raining, Piaoling Courtyard was not burned into ruins, but
It was also burned to a complete mess.
Moreover, the air was filled with the smell of barbecue. It was the smell of several stables on fire and several horses being burned alive.
Fortunately, not long after the fire broke out, Wei Jiangping and Elder Yun rushed into the house with more than 20 people. They worked hard and finally found Chen Xianyang's son and daughter in the chaos. They also killed many robbers who took advantage of the fire.
Wei Jiangping took his two children to the pavilion by the lake. The two children saw the huge open space in front of the house covered with dead people's blood like hell. They were even more frightened. They cried and called their father and mother.
Wei Jiangping didn't know how to comfort them. He didn't tell the two children that their father had been killed by him. He ordered people to pick up Shen Lingzhi who was imprisoned in the mountains.
About half an hour later, Shen Lingzhi was picked up. Although many corpses had been cleared away on the battlefield, the tragic scene in front of him still shocked Shen Lingzhi.
On the battlefield where mist and rain were hazy and corpses littered the ground, the wind blew "whimpering", like the sound of crying. Maybe the rain is the tears of the sky, and the wind is the cry of the sky.
Qin Gumei was also picked up at the same time. Although this hellish scene frightened Qin Gumei, he hurriedly looked for his son and Zuo Jingjing, the two people he cared about most.
When Shen Lingzhi ran into the pavilion, the two children saw their mother coming and rushed towards her, crying.
Shen Lingzhi took a pair of children into her arms. The two children were trembling in her arms.
Shen Lingzhi's son said to her: "Mom, there are so many dead people, I'm very scared...Mom, and the people in the house, they are also crazy, killing people and setting fire to grab things everywhere. It's this uncle with no legs... wuwu, put him there We rescued..."
After hearing this, Shen Lingzhi knew what had happened.
She had long advised Chen Xianyang not to recruit people randomly. Some people were just liars, rogues and beasts, and something would happen sooner or later. But Chen Xianyang, who was ambitious and wanted to expand his power, would not listen at all. No one refuses.
If he was alive in heaven at this moment, he wouldn't know how he would feel if he saw that everything he had worked so hard for was destroyed by the people he recruited.
Shen Lingzhi's daughter cried in a childish voice: "Mom, where is Daddy? Daddy said he was going to beat up the bad guys today. After beating the bad guys, he will take me to the mountains to catch birds..."
Shen Lingzhi glanced at Wei Jiangping, and she really didn't know how to answer her daughter.
At this time, Meimei knew that Shen Lingzhi was coming, and she also entered the pavilion.
Shen Lingzhi and Meimei have always had a good relationship. Although they are not as close as sisters, they can be regarded as good friends. Later, Shen Lingzhi married Chen Xianyang. Due to the rift between Chen Xianyang and Meimei, the two of them had less contact. many.
The two nodded towards each other, not knowing what to say to each other at this moment.
Shen Lingzhi said to the two children: "You stay here with Aunt Mei first, while Mom talks to this uncle."
Shen Lingzhi left the pavilion first and reached behind a big tree in the pavilion. Wei Jiangping also jumped out of the pavilion and behind the tree with his hands on the ground.
Shen Lingzhi knelt down and touched Wei Jiangping's unrecognizable face with tears in her eyes.
She asked: "Where is Chen Xianyang?"
Wei Jiangping said: "I killed him with my own hands. You can hate me, or you can kill me to avenge him. I don't blame you."
Shen Lingzhi shook her head, with more tears in her eyes, she trembled: "I don't hate you. If it weren't for him...you are now the owner of Piaoling Island, a dragon and a phoenix among people, we...we are also husband and wife, and we will also have a couple. Children, just like we both thought back then... He was the one who caused you to be like this and ruined everything for you. He deserves it..."
Wei Jiangping asked: "What are you going to do?"
A wry smile appeared on Shen Lingzhi's face.
"After all, I am his wife. Now, the family is destroyed and he is dead. What can I do? I am going to bury him, and then take the two children away to a place far away from the troubles of the world and raise them well. They. Teach them to be good people and not to be like their father..."
Shen Lingzhi sobbed softly as she spoke.
Then she said to Wei Jiangping: "Jiang Ping, you have suffered too much. God is really unfair to you. From now on, you must take good care of yourself! Live well..."
After saying that, Shen Lingzhi shook Wei Jiangping's hand hard, stood up and walked out of the tree.
Shen Lingzhi buried Chen Xianyang by the forest with her own hands, and she did not place a plaque for him.
She stood in front of the grave and choked: "Xian Yang, you use any means, and now what you have got is just a pile of loess..."
Shen Lingzhi buried Chen Xianyang and went to the pavilion to raise a pair of children.
She held the younger one in her arms and held the older one in her hand as she walked forward.
Wei Jiangping and Meimei watched her off.
In the cold mist and rain, the figures of the three mothers slowly disappeared.
