The first thousand one hundred and eighty chapters lead the gopher
In the vast wasteland on the border between Guanlong and Tuyuhun, the Tuyuhun army that had forced the northern survivors to surrender in the Guanlong War had now split into many branches and was running away like a wolf.
In fact, in the Battle of Guanlong, the most important reason why Achaizhen's army was able to prevent the northern survivors from reaching Tianwuchuan was because the number of Achaizhen's troops far exceeded that of the northern survivors, and at that time
There are also several powerful practitioners arranged by He Bayue in their army.
When the Southern Dynasty border troops commanded by Chen Baxian arrived at Guanlong with the help of the Northern Wei Emperor, the Tuyuhun army no longer had an advantage in numbers, and their commander Achai Chen did not know where he had gone. As for those numbers
The powerful practitioners arranged by Minghe Bayue have also been killed by Chen Baxian, Zhen Fuxing and others. The fate of this Tuyuhun army has actually been doomed.
The only thing that could prevent them from being defeated in a short period of time was Achai Chen's private army equipped with a large amount of sophisticated ordnance.
But after Xia Baying's army appeared, the advantage of this private army quickly disappeared.
Strictly speaking, Achai Chen's private army is probably equipped with more ordnance than any elite army, but Xia Ba Ying's army has an overwhelming advantage in the number of firearms. The most important thing is that Xia Ba Ying's army has an overwhelming advantage.
Many of Ba Ying's troops are flying in the sky.
After a large number of Xiaba sergeants riding on the Flame Pagoda carried out the first round of intensive firearms attacks on the private army, Achai Chen's private army immediately began to collapse.
They were able to defeat several times the enemy's attack on the ground, but they were helpless against such an attack from the sky.
The frontal battle ended faster than the battle outside Tianwuchuan. At least more than half of the Tuyuhun sergeants chose to surrender directly. Only a small part of the army wanted to escape back to Dangxiang. If it weren't for the fact that Guanlong and Tuyuhun were all surrounded by
It is a very complex frozen desert and hilly area, with many valleys where you can hide. These Tuyuhun troops are very good at escaping in this terrain. Otherwise, I am afraid that Xia Baying's army alone would have been able to completely stop them in the encirclement.
.
Achai Chen had an alliance with Xiaba Ying from the earliest days because he valued the Xiaba tribe’s firearms. His private army also used an astonishing number of firearms in the battle, so the battle did not last long.
The battle was the first time in history that a large number of firearms were used in a large-scale war.
In the dark night, in the hundreds of miles of wasteland on the border between Guanlong and Tuyuhun, there are burning fires everywhere.
Near the area where Xia Ba Ying's army defeated Achai Chen's private army, in a canyon in the middle of two hills, blazing fires were always burning, like a volcano that was constantly erupting.
The remains of the sergeants and practitioners who died in this battle, whether from the Tuyuhun side or from the Northern Wei, Southern Dynasty, and Xia coalition sides, were all transported here and then intensively incinerated.
In the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was no such custom of cremation. Even if the army died in battle, and even if it was not possible to send the remains of the deceased back to their hometown for the time being, they would usually choose to bury them on the spot.
When the time comes, the army will be sent to collect the remains and send them back to their hometown.
This is not only respect, but also the world's way of thanking and commemorating them. It also allows all living people to remember the peace these soldiers bought with their lives.
The incineration of the remains of the war dead on such a large scale at this time is naturally difficult for many people to understand, especially when they heard that the army in the Tianwuchuan area also received the order, and those sergeants and practitioners who died in the Battle of Tianwuchuan
When the corpses of the deceased began to be burned on the spot, many generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty couldn't help but become angry.
"Who gave the order!"
Several generals from the Northern Wei Dynasty came to this valley that was always burning with blazing fire. They and the nearly a thousand soldiers who followed them stopped the convoy transporting the remains into the valley.
"I know that the troops on the roadside have reached their limit. Even the transportation of food and grass is somewhat unsustainable. I also know that in the early spring, a large number of corpses rot, and it is easy for the plague to break out. But do we have to make such a choice?"
"Even if it is currently impossible for us to send the remains of the fallen soldiers here and in Tianwuchuan back to their hometowns, even if all their remains are buried deep, it is still better than having their bones crushed and scattered to ashes!"
One general even pulled out a long knife full of gaps. He stuck the long knife on the ground in front of him, his eyes filled with blood.
If someone forced his way in at this time, he would really chop him with a knife.
"That's my order."
At this moment, a voice sounded from the hillside not far away.
The general had not yet heard whose voice it was, but someone in the crowd around him had already heard who it was.
"Your Majesty!"
As the tide of shouts rang out, all the Northern Wei people present knelt down and saluted the man walking up the hillside.
The Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty walked up to this general. He looked at the general who was kneeling on the ground, but his eyes were full of grief, and he said slowly: "Master Mo Zong was defeated by He Ba Yue in Shangqiu."
The general took a breath, and the area around the valley suddenly became silent.
While almost all the people in the Northern Wei Dynasty were shocked by the news, they didn't quite understand why the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty used the title "Lord Demon Sect" to address the Demon Sect.
Although before Mo Zong rebelled from the Northern Wei Dynasty, almost all people in the Northern Wei Dynasty called Mo Zong "Lord Mo Zong" to express their respect for him. However, after Mo Zong became the biggest traitor in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty became extremely
It was rare for someone to call him such a title, let alone the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The general was a little confused.
"Master Mo Zong was controlled by these descendants of Emperor You before, but during the battle in Shangqiu, he chose to fight for the human world." The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty's voice continued very clearly, "Tonight, he has left the world."
There was a sound of heavy breathing, followed by absolute silence.
Everyone in the room was shocked, and even couldn't believe it... They couldn't believe that the Demon Sect, who had influenced the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years and was respected by countless people and hated by countless people, had actually passed away.
.
"According to the military information passed on from Shangqiu, the Destiny Blood Box fell into the hands of He Batayue. He Batayue can swallow the vitality of these dead people and become stronger. In order to defeat him, we have to kill them
All the bodies of the Northern Wei Dynasty were burned." The Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty looked at this general, then he looked up at everyone in his sight, and said slowly and calmly: "From today on, all the dead in our Northern Wei Dynasty will be burned with fire.
, if I die in battle, I will not be buried. From now on, as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty is still there, all those who died in war will be burned with fire.
Fear, this is the pride of our Northern Wei Dynasty."
…
"Does it really work?"
Chen Baxian was on the hillside where the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty had been. He looked at the sad but proud people of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He couldn't help but turn around, looked at Bai Yuelu and asked.
In this regard, the Southern Dynasty paid more attention to etiquette and burial. In a sense, this method of incinerating the remains was contrary to his consistent understanding, especially when an astonishing number of remains had to be incinerated.
If the entire north would do this in the future, even if it was not in the Southern Dynasties, he would find it difficult to accept it.
"There are relevant records in some of our classics."
Bai Yuelu did not answer him, because Zhen Fuxing's voice had already sounded at this time. She glanced at Chen Baxian, and then looked towards the back of the valley, "But they are more sure of its use than us. This is their suggestion and request."
Chen Baxian was slightly startled. He followed Zhen Fuxing's gaze and saw dozens of monks who could even be described as ragged.
He knew that those were ascetic monks from Mobei.
These ascetic monks in Mobei all seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting sutras in one direction.
Extremely devout spiritual beliefs are easily respected, and his face couldn't help but become solemn.
These ascetic monks are saying goodbye to the demon sect who has left this world.
Their faces were extremely calm, but if they were said to be sad, then tonight, they should be the most sad group of people in the entire world for the departure of the Demon Sect.
This group of monks are not very old. According to what Zhen Fuxing told him before, the oldest group of ascetics have died outside Tianwuchuan.
At this time, apart from the dozens of Tantric ascetics in Mobei, there are only a few left.
"They have definite records, and they have always followed the Demon Sect... The moment everyone dies, some vitality will be released immediately, but even long after death, some vitality will continue to be released that can be absorbed by the Destiny Blood Box.
Even if it is already very thin, once the number of dead people increases, people like He Bayue who have advanced in cultivation can continue to absorb the death energy and turn it into their own true energy."
Zhen Fuxing looked at Chen Baxian and continued: "But they are sure that the fire in the world can dispel the darkness, purify the vitality, and make these dead people completely return to the world."
At this time, a young monk walked out of the group of monks, walked over, walked up to Zhen Fuxing and Bai Yuelu, bowed to them, and then said many words.
"What did he say?"
This monk spoke their Mobei language, and Chen Baxian could not understand him. He just felt that this young monk must have said something extremely important, because he could tell just from the changes in the expressions of Bai Yuelu and Zhen Fuxing.
"He said that such a place with a large number of deaths, especially a place with fresh death, is like a treasured place of cultivation filled with a large amount of spiritual energy for He Batayue. He Batayue will definitely be attracted by this large amount of fresh death energy.
, our current approach can allow him to find that there is not much vitality that can be used here when he arrives, allowing him to make a fuss, but according to them, this He Batayue... This He Batayue is too tolerant. If there is something next
If he has enough reaction time, he will definitely hide. Even if he slowly increases his power, he will have to accumulate his true energy to an extremely powerful level. Only when he thinks it is foolproof will he take action again and suddenly deal with someone who is powerful in the human world.
An extremely important practitioner." This time it was Bai Yuelu who answered Chen Baxian. Bai Yuelu pondered and said slowly: "They think we should not give him such time to grow up. They want to attract He Bayue and lead him to a certain place.
They tried to kill him before he was not that powerful. They decided to try to use the method of attracting gophers to help us do this."
"What is the method of attracting gophers?" Chen Baxian also somewhat agreed with the ascetics' statement, but he did not know what the method of attracting gophers was.
"The gophers in the Mobei Desert are different from your gophers in the Southern Dynasties. There are very few creatures in the Mobei Desert. The weaker the creatures, the harder it is to survive. Therefore, there are many gophers in Mobei.
Natural enemies, the gophers in Mobei have become extremely cautious for a long time, but for some herdsmen in Mobei, these gophers are their indispensable food source." Bai Yuelu looked at his serious explanation.
Said: "For thousands of years, they have also had methods of hunting this kind of gophers. They will place a piece of food that is very delicious for these gophers at intervals not far from their caves. These gophers
Gophers will gradually move with these foods to the areas where they hunt."
Chen Baxian's face turned slightly pale. He was not stupid, so he understood the thoughts of those ascetics instantly.
First, they would try to make He Buyue escape, so that He Buyue would be more eager to replenish his power. Then they would use themselves as bait to lure He Buyue to a certain place step by step.
"We need to choose a place."
Bai Yuelu looked at Chen Baxian and said, "But we can't kill him. This place should be the place Lin Yi and others would choose." (To be continued)
