Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth sound of the end of the war
At this time, the overall situation should have been decided. However, facing the respect of a general like Ming Weijun, Lin Yi did not feel any joy or pride.
He didn't even feel relaxed.
Before that, when the battle of Zhongli was not over, he told himself not to think about the casualties of his men, but when the overall situation of the battle was determined, he had to face the casualties of the defenders in the city, and faced the Tie Ce army.
of casualties.
At this time, in Zhongli City, most of the living Southern Dynasty people should be on this section of the broken wall where he is.
But many familiar faces are not here.
Xue Jiu is not among the living Tie Cejun.
None of the young cultivators who had previously volunteered to join the Tiece Army were among them, including Situ Nian, who had a grudge against Xiao Jin, and was not among these living people.
The silly and stupid Tang Nianda in Jiange is also dead.
At a glance, he saw that there were only about ten people left in the entire sword pavilion.
Of the 300 Tiece Army sergeants who first marched with him and whose names he remembered, only a few were alive at this time.
He even felt deeply ashamed at this time.
Because he knows very well that the reason why Rong Yi, Xiao Suxin and others are alive is not only because they are practitioners themselves and are more powerful than ordinary soldiers, but the more important reason is that in the previous battle,
They always subconsciously deal with enemies that pose a fatal threat to them as soon as possible.
"There's no need to go over and comfort him."
Chen Baowan knew what he was thinking just by looking at the look on his face, but just before she wanted to make a move, Chen Jinru's voice sounded in her ears.
"Military advisor." She looked at Chen Jinru with some confusion.
"This is a process that every powerful general must go through."
Chen Jinru looked at her and said softly: "Only by suffering enough pain, he will grow better and do better in future battles."
Chen Baowan fell silent.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Chen Jinru and said with some emotion: "So I always feel that my brother is too cold and does not have the blood of a young man. Is it because he has experienced too many such things?"
Chen Jinru smiled faintly, "He has fought dozens of battles in the frontier army, and of course he has experienced a lot. Lin Yi now knows very well that every bit of his glory contains those who died in battle.
The blood of his subordinates, and the Chen family's current position in the Southern Dynasties was made of countless bones and blood. Of course, any decision he made cannot be purely based on his blood."
…
Cao Jingzong's figure moved and landed on the wall.
He had already exchanged greetings with Lin, and his eyes naturally fell on the others.
He was slightly startled and saw an acquaintance.
"Old Wei, your life is really tough." He looked at Wei Guanxing and couldn't help but say.
Wei Guanxing said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect to survive."
"Such an extraordinary feat is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime." Cao Jingzong looked at the several wounds on his body that were still bleeding and said seriously: "It's really worth it."
"You also know that I have not been here for a long time. Where is General Wei?" Wei Guanxing asked.
"He stopped by to settle an account and should be arriving soon." Cao Jingzong glanced upstream and said.
At this time, the water level in the Huai River has returned to normal, but the flow is still very fast compared to usual.
When Wei Guanxing, Lin Yi and others looked upstream, several black spots appeared faintly on the black surface in the distance.
Lin Yi's eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary practitioners. He quickly saw clearly that there were several ordinary large boats going down the river, but his brows immediately frowned deeply.
"Why, do the Mingwei border troops also like to use enemy corpses to scare the other party?" He couldn't help but ask Cao Jingzong.
Most of the other people on the city wall couldn't see clearly what was on those boats, so some didn't understand why Lin Yi asked this question, but Cao Jingzong knew it very well.
He turned to look at Lin Yi and said seriously: "Those heads hanging outside the ship's edge are not those of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the heads of all the adult men of the Guo family in Fushui County in our Southern Dynasties."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
Although most of the people on the city wall could not see clearly the details of the ships, they already understood what happened after hearing Cao Jingzong's words.
Wei Guanxing smiled faintly, "It is indeed General Wei's style."
"The Northern Wei Dynasty is my enemy. No matter what they do, it is their own business. But as people from the Southern Dynasty, the land, water and wealth of the Southern Dynasty have raised these people, but it is a sin to be ungrateful and provide these Northern Wei people with big ships."
Forgive me."
Cao Jingzong also said calmly, "If we don't punish them severely, many clans will naturally be profit-seeking. Without these big ships and with General Lin and your Iron Ce Army sitting in charge, they may not be able to break the city so quickly. The Guo family of Fushui County, they
Naturally, I must be responsible for the many deaths in Zhongli City."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, but didn't say anything for a while.
Those fast boats rode the wind and waves and soon clearly broke into everyone's realization.
The leading ship has countless streaks of red on its hull.
Heads hung one after another outside the ship, and the blood dripping from these heads dyed the ship's hull red.
Suddenly, the cries and howls of many people rang out in the Northern Wei camp on the north bank, where the city had been engulfed in hot porridge.
A group of people who had originally fled up a high slope suddenly sat down on the ground and began to cry heartbreakingly.
Cao Jingzong looked at those people and sneered: "Those people should be the people of the Guo family, except for those who came with those ships... These people have been in these armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty for a long time, and these Northern Wei armies can do it without being noticed.
I am afraid that I am here because of the Guo family."
"The Guo family in Fushui County is the most prominent family in Fushui County. If they take the opportunity to kill all the young men in this way, General Wei will not be afraid of criticism from the DPRK?" Qi Zhuji stepped forward and asked softly with some worry.
"With Zhongli's great victory and the ability to turn the world around, it will be enough to suppress such criticism." Cao Jingzong's sneer grew thicker, "Otherwise, the Holy Lord will be soft-hearted, and I don't know how many Guo family disciples will survive, and I don't know how much trouble will arise in the future.
.”
In fact, no one had any objections. Every surviving Southern Dynasty sergeant felt very happy looking at the ferocious-looking head hanging outside the ship. Just like Qi Zhuji, he was just worried about whether a general like Wei Rui would get along with him.
Wei Guanxing had the same experience.
"General Wei should have something to say to you."
Chen Baoyuan came to Lin Yi's side and said softly: "While you still have time, I want to talk to you about something alone."
Of course Lin Yi couldn't refuse.
When he and Chen Baoyuan walked to one side, everyone else naturally stepped aside to give them some space.
"Xiao Shufei has always been the kind of person with a cold face and a warm heart."
