Text Chapter 1174: The Wounded Lion
Blood red, a blood red world.
Trees are blood-colored, water is blood-colored, mountains are blood-colored, even the sky is blood-colored.
"Where am I?"
Lin Muyu stood blankly among the blood, and there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it behind his back, but he didn't catch anything. Xuanyuanjian was nowhere to be found.
In the blood-colored field, densely packed cavalry rushed over, brandishing their sharp blades, roaring and cursing in their mouths, their spears and swords shone coldly, and charged straight at Lin Muyu.
"ah……"
Lin Muyu wanted to run, but her feet were as heavy as if filled with lead water, and she couldn't move at all.
At the same time, he was shocked to find that the armor of these blood-colored cavalry was exactly the same as the special armor of the Long Dan Battalion. On the battle flag they held in their hands, a gorgeous purple hyacinth flower was flying. They are... Gentian Camp! ?
Lin Muyu opened his eyes wide: "You...you..."
The blood-colored cavalry roared and rushed over with their weapons, and they were actually cursing loudly——
"Lin Muyu, why do you trade our lives for your fame?"
"You coward, why did we die instead of you!"
"Good people like Xu Jiantao are dead, why don't you die!?"
Lin Muyu stood there blankly, trembling all over. At this moment, he realized that these were the soldiers of the Long Dan Battalion who died in battle. They were full of resentment, as if they had come from purgatory.
"bring it on……"
Lin Muyu knelt down slowly, looked up at the cavalrymen who were rushing, and said with tears streaming down her face: "I don't want to live in guilt all my life, if killing me can make you feel better, then kill me! I'm sorry, really I'm sorry, brothers, I was too conceited to let you die miserably, I'm sorry..."
"Brother Ah Yu! Brother!"
A voice suddenly came to the ears.
Lin Muyu's body kept falling, as if he was about to fall into the vortex of this bloody world, he cried bitterly, and desperately reached out to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.
...
"ah……"
When she suddenly woke up, she realized that she was lying on the bed, covered in sweat, and Sikong Yao was sitting next to her. At this time, Sikong Yao seemed to have been frightened. Lin Muyu hugged her tightly with both hands. She was the one who woke her up in the dream.
"Brother, are you alright?" Sikong Yao murmured.
"I...I'm fine..." Lin Muyu let go of Sikong Yao's hand and said dumbly, "This is Hongyan City, right?"
"Um."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Five days and five nights." Sikong Yao helped him sit up, and said, "Did brother just have a nightmare?"
"Well, I dreamed about the dead brothers..." Lin Muyu realized that there were tears on her face, and hurriedly wiped them away in embarrassment, and said: "No one forgives me, I caused everyone to fall into desperation."
Si Kongyao frowned and said: "No one can do better than you. War is so changeable and unpredictable. Why does my brother keep letting himself fall into self-blame? I believe that the soldiers who died for the country must I won't hate you, on the contrary, they hope that you, brother, will cheer up and avenge them!"
"Revenge, um, revenge!"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "The war between me and Chen Yu has just begun."
At this moment, Chu Yao pushed the door open and entered, saying: "Okay, just right, I have a bowl of gruel here, drink it first, you haven't eaten for a long time."
"Sister Chu Yao, why are you here?"
"I'm just here." Chu Yao smiled slightly: "How can you make me feel at ease like this? Besides... there are tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in Hongyan City, how could I, the head deacon of the elixir department, not come? "
"Thank you……"
"You're welcome, let's have something to eat first."
"Um."
...
Lin Muyu was indeed hungry, and drank three bowls of gruel in a row. Chu Yao insisted that he not eat too much, otherwise he could drink ten bowls.
Si Kongyao smiled and said: "Brother, I have good news for you. During the five days you were in a coma, all the states and counties in Hongyan Province have surrendered, and now they have all entered our army and replaced them with our officials. , In addition, the province of Liaoyuan has also been surrendered, and now the governor's seal and ribbon are with us, and the entire Blackstone Empire has now been included in the territory of Great Qin."
"Really?"
"Um!"
"Unfortunately, we still suffered a disastrous defeat at the foot of Hongyan City, and even Xu Jiantao was martyred." Lin Muyu slowly leaned on the head of the bed, and said, "Ayao, do you think I'm particularly useless when we stick to Phoenix? At the time of the pass, I was thinking about the strategy of chasing and killing He Song's army overnight, and at that time, Chen Yu had already dispatched Song Liangcheng's 100,000 troops to enter the pass and stationed in Hongyan City. Chen Yu guessed it, this battle was completely lost."
Sikong Yao looked at him quietly, and said: "Since the Battle of the East China Sea, you have outperformed Chen Yu every step of the way, and even forced him to withdraw from the naval battle, and fled to Huoyuan Province like a bereaved dog. Brother, you You have won countless times, but lost once, how can you keep blaming yourself like this? If you change someone else, no one will do better than you. This is your responsibility. Only you can take on this heavy responsibility. Do you understand? ? Without you, the Baize mercenaries would not be able to work. Without you, the states and counties in the two major provinces would not surrender so quickly. The credit and fault are all on you. You don’t need to blame yourself. There are no victorious generals, and maybe you are the real you after losing a battle. What's more, did you really lose this battle? The Longdan camp was besieged by Song Liangcheng's 100,000 people, and more than 20,000 people died in the battle, but Song Like Liangcheng, more than 40,000 people died in battle, and the soldiers who died in the Longdan Battalion did not embarrass you, and they died well."
"It's just that the price of this battle is too high."
Lin Muyu whispered: "I lost Xu Jiantao, just like losing an arm."
"I know."
Sikong Yao said softly: "No one blames you, you should rest well, you will be needed to preside over the overall situation in the future."
"Um……"
Lin Muyu stretched his arms: "Is there any other news?"
"Yes, the second batch of troops from the Lingdong Province has arrived in the Tianji Continent. A total of 450,000 troops, 60,000 troops from the Dragon League, and 90,000 Armored Demons have all arrived in the Xishan Province. Now we have all the troops in the Xishan Province. An army of 600,000 is enough to wipe out the remnants of Yang Shang's remaining defeated generals."
"Oh..." Lin Muyu said with a sluggish expression, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Now it's not a three-legged confrontation, but Qin Qiang. Chen Yu is not an idiot. When we attack Yangshang, Chen Yu will definitely wait for the opportunity to attack us. The weakest place, I will tell Brother Feng to be careful in a while."
"Well, you rest first."
"good."
...
In Luohan City, the palace hall, the banquet has been held for five full days.
Chen Yu was wearing a dragon robe, and his spirits were high, and there were a lot of civil servants, generals, and talents under the king's rank. At this time, the Tianjue Empire had 800,000 soldiers, and it could be called the overlord of a party, even more powerful than the merchants!
Song Liangcheng became famous in the first battle because of his defeat in the battle of the elite Long Dan battalion, annihilating 20,000 elite Long Dan battalion, seriously injuring Lin Muyu, Wei Chou and others, and beheading the famous general Xu Jiantao. Handsome, proud, self-evident.
After putting down the white jade wine cup in his hand, Song Liangcheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are three pillars in the Polar Continent today, among which the Qin State is the strongest and the Shang State is the weakest. I got the news half a day ago that Qin State has nearly half a million people from the mainland. The army has already arrived in Xishan Province, and now it can be said that the army is strong and strong, we must plan first!"
Chen Yu nodded and smiled: "I understand, but... let's wait for the right time. We need to continue to lie dormant until the Qin army does not act, and wait for the best opportunity to attack. By the way, how about Lin Muyu?"
Marshal Wei Qiyang said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, we arranged to send back news from the secret operation in Hongyan City. Lin Muyu has been in a coma for five days and five nights. He has not attended any military meetings for the time being, and no one has seen him. In addition, Chu Yao, the head deacon of the Qin Guoling Medicine Department, appeared in Hongyan City, but she stayed behind closed doors, probably to heal Lin Muyu."
"snort……"
Chen Yu looked indifferently, and said: "Lin Muyu is our serious problem... If Lin Muyu dies due to serious injuries, General Song, I will give you ten thousand households."
Song Liangcheng was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is as blessed as heaven, and Lin Muyu will surely die."
Zhou Binlong said: "Your Majesty, Lin Muyu's physical injury is a trivial matter, but his heart injury is the biggest. Xu Jiantao is his right-hand man. Now that Xu Jiantao was beheaded by our army, Lin Muyu's entire army was frustrated. Think about it, since the fierce battle in the East China Sea, and then fight again." Breaking through Beiguan, breaking through Qianshan City within an hour, and decisively defeating He Songjun outside Fenghuangguan, this Lin Muyu has been invincible all the way. Such an elite army has long been a proud soldier, but now it was defeated by our army at the foot of Hongyan City. The vanguard of Lin Muyu is as small as the funeral, the most important thing is the setback of his self-confidence, as long as we keep our feet on the ground, I believe Lin Muyu will be unable to do anything."
Chen Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Commander Zhou has underestimated Lin Muyu. This person is resourceful, tolerant, immovable like a mountain, and rushing like fire. Now Lin Muyu is like a wounded lion. Once he regains his vitality, he will Compared with what you said, I hope Lin Muyu fainted and died among the wounded soldiers."
"His Majesty."
Wei Qiyang said: "Since we withdrew from the Huoyuan Province, there are only thousands of local defenders in this province. It is empty, and the Qin Army has not settled in, and Yang Shang has no courage to enter. Why not... our army Enter the Huoyuan Province to garrison troops, and wait for the opportunity at any time?"
"No."
Chen Yu waved his hand: "Feng Jixing is not stupid, why didn't he enter the Huoyuan Province? That's because the Huoyuan Province is the place of the Three Wars, and once he enters it, he will be attacked. Whoever advances to the Huoyuan Province will become the target of public criticism , on the contrary, Huoyuan Province has no one settled in, but it has become a natural barrier between Qin, Shang, and Tianjue. Our enemy is still Lin Muyu. The current military strategy and state policy is to destroy Lin Muyu first, and then to extinguish the wind. In the end, the merchants will be eliminated, so it will be a great achievement."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
