Text Chapter 362: Assassination of the Empress

The flames made the river bank red, and with the counterattack of the imperial army, the Demon Winged Army had no choice but to give up the air archery attack, but left thousands of corpses on the bank. They probably didn't expect that there would be one of them in the imperial army. There are so many "magic archers", in fact, they are just unlucky to encounter the Gendan Battalion. Most of the current composition of the Gendan Battalion is the Temple Battalion, and the soldiers of the Temple Battalion were originally Temple employees. How could a person who is proficient in bow and horse not be proficient in archery.

At the same time, similar battles took place at several other ferry crossings along the Daojiang River. According to Feng Jixing's order from Yu Shu, all the legions launched fire attacks. For a while, the entire Daojiang River seemed to be covered with a coat of flames. .

The miserable howls of the demons echoed all the time, and those armored demons knew they were dead, but they continued to charge towards the river bank, as if they had received some kind of order.

Until the middle of the night, finally there were no more square ships from the other side to attack.

...

The flames in the river were gradually extinguished, and the imperial soldiers along the bank began to clean up the battlefield. The corpses of the armored demons and wingmen were dragged one by one to the depths of the jungle, burned and buried, and Lin Muyu clearly ordered all the people who handled the corpses They all had to block their mouths and noses with cloth to prevent the plague from spreading, but it seemed that this group of armored demons were quite healthy and not infected.

In the early hours of the morning, the east was turning white, but thick smoke still billowed from the shore, and the bodies of many armored demons were still smoking or even burning.

A demon is afraid of fire, but also afraid of water, this sentence has really become the lifeline of the empire.

Lin Muyu's face was covered with gray marks, he just wiped it briefly and went to the wounded barracks to check the situation. Although a lot of enemies were killed in this battle, the imperial soldiers still suffered a lot. The wounded soldiers were groaning miserably, many of them were injured by the armored demon, and even worse, their arms or legs were cut off directly.

The medical officers of the Elixir Department are bandaging and treating them. Fortunately, there are plenty of medicinal herbs here, so that every wounded soldier can be cured and many lives can be saved.

"Master Commander." A wounded soldier hurriedly tried to stand up and salute.

Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Don't be too polite, just lie down."

The wounded soldier nodded gratefully, and said, "Commander, the little one hacked a demon to death."

"That's good, did the clerk include it?"

"It's included. He said that after returning to Lanyan City, he will at least promote the younger one."

"That's great, take care of yourself."

"Thank you Commander."

After checking around the wounded barracks and returning to the tent of the Chinese Army, Lin Muyu was exhausted and sat down on the commander's seat. The Golden Gourd of the Martial Soul slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding world to replenish the lost battle energy, while Qin Yan brought it With a large bowl of broth and three flatbreads, he said with a smile, "Brother, let's eat something first. You must be hungry after killing all night."

"Um."

Lin Muyu was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling, and after receiving the food, he started to gobble it up, and raised his head and said, "A Yan, go and summon the clerk to come in, I want to hear the post-war statistics."

"yes."

A few minutes later, a clerk came in with a file, saluted respectfully, and said, "Commander Yu, we have killed 7,248 armored demons and 1,124 winged men in this battle. clan, all the corpses of the armored demons and winged men have been disposed of immediately, either buried or burned."

"Tell me about our situation." Lin Muyu said.

"We..." The clerk's face was a bit unhappy, and he said, "A total of 6,874 soldiers were killed in this battle, more than 13,000 were injured, and 25 people were missing..."

"So many people died in battle..." Lin Muyu frowned, and said, "Record the list of those who died in battle in detail, and send the list back to Lanyan City, and the Ministry of Households will issue pensions uniformly."

"Yes, my lord."

The clerk said: "We only have more than 500 barrels of black beech oil left."

"Understood, let's go down."

"yes."

At this time, Wei Chou and Feng Xi walked in side by side, covered in blood, Wei Chou's face was still full of excitement after the battle, and said: "My subordinates will wait to see you."

"Yeah." Lin Muyu looked up at them, lowered his head and drank a big mouthful of broth, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it, my lord."

"There's not enough black beech oil. Immediately urge the military department to prepare more. Without black beech oil, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in the next demon attack."

"yes."

Wei Chou grinned and said, "It is said that the black beech trees in Cangnan province are about to be cut down. The household department has mobilized more than half a million civilians to collect black beech oil. Even the black beech oil in the Seven Star Forest has been collected. It's almost there, I'm afraid this fire attack tactic will not be able to be implemented again for a while, but fortunately, we have killed a lot of demons this time, so we can always deter them."

"Well, how is the combat situation of the rest of the legions?" Lin Muyu asked.

Wei Chou said: "According to the information just obtained, our Fourth Legion has gained the most and lost the least."

"Ah." Lin Muyu was stunned: "How is the situation of the rest of the legion?"

Wei Chou took out the scroll from his waist, unfolded it, and said, "The First Legion led by Feng Jixing killed more than 5,000 Armored Demons, and lost more than 10,000 people. The Second Army led by Su Yu killed more than 5,000 Armored Demons." More than 3,500 people lost more than 8,000 people themselves. The third army led by Xiang Yu killed more than 11,000 armored demons and lost more than 32,000 people. The positions of Yao Yuan and Su Long did not During the battle, brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian of the Seventh Legion beheaded more than a thousand armored demons and lost more than nine thousand people."

"Oh My God……"

Lin Muyu couldn't help but put down the big cake in his hand, and said in amazement: "What is Xiang Yu doing? More than 30,000 people died in battle."

"Yes."

Wei Chou said: "Master Xiang Yu's position has been attacked by nearly 20,000 armored demons, so there are more losses."

"Then what are brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian doing? Killing a thousand armored demons, but losing more than nine thousand." Lin Muyu asked angrily, "Are these two vegetarians?"

Qin Yan said: "Brother, I arranged for Yu Shu, the insider of the Seventh Legion, to tell me that brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian indulged in drinking and had fun with Ying Ji the day before yesterday. They only woke up yesterday afternoon, so the battle was delayed. Arrangement, when the armored demons crossed the river, their black beech oil was not completely connected, so more than a thousand armored demons took advantage of the situation to land on the shore, and they had to fight in close quarters, so they lost so much."

"There are only more than a thousand armored demons."

Lin Muyu gritted his teeth: "50,000 people can drown these armored demons with a single sip of saliva. What are the two marquises, Tang Lu and Tang Tian, ​​doing to eat? They're still playing with Ying Ji. You're such a jerk."

Wei Chou smiled and said: "Control the anger... By the way, I just received the letter from Yu, His Highness Yin will be escorted by Zhang Wei to lead the 5,000 imperial troops to our Fenglin Ferry position at a later date, and he will be there around night, Your Highness The meaning is to inspect the Fourth Army, but according to what the general sees, His Highness is just concerned about control."

Lin Muyu grinned: "What do you want to say?"

Wei Qiu laughed: "The last general wants to say, immediately order people to boil water, take a hot bath and go to bed early, put on a new suit of armor and go to see His Highness at night, don't be rude, right? control."

Lin Muyu glared at him, and said: "The two armies are fighting each other, be more serious, and don't look like a hippie smiling all day long."

"Yes, this subordinate is going to order the servants to boil water for the commander. By the way, there was no fighting in the position led by Su Yu, so she personally led 2,000 guards and escorted about 4,000 barrels of black beech oil to us. Arrive at about the same time as His Royal Highness Yin."

"Well, I see, it's a timely gift, and Aunt Yu is reliable."

"Hey, that subordinate is going down."

"good."

Lin Muyu gobbled up the rest of the food again. When he returned to his barracks, the water was already boiled. After taking a shower, he hurriedly fell asleep. As the former army commander, he must maintain his spirit. Killed a lot of imperial troops, but it should be regarded as a disastrous defeat for the demons, they will definitely not let it go.

...

In his sleep, countless shadowy figures drifted past. He heard the sound of crying, howling, and seemed to hear Qin Yin's voice, whispering, like a girl's nostalgia, as if he also heard Tang Xiaoxi's voice, Crying loudly, as if expressing despair, the collision of the Zhanfeng knife and the bloodthirsty gun appeared in the dream, I heard Xiang Yu's laughter, I heard Feng Jixing's roar, when he woke up, It was already nightfall.

"Guanzhi, dinner is ready, can I bring it in for you?" Wei Chou said outside the tent.

"Well, send it in, thank you, Wei Chou."

"Regulation is not polite."

"Is there any movement from the demons?"

"No, nothing happened."

"Strengthen your guard."

"yes."

...

At this time, outside the big tent of the Demon Race, Qian Feng frowned, paced back and forth in the open space, his face was full of gloom, and asked the guard beside him, "Is Your Highness still sleeping?"

"Yes." The guard clasped his fists and said, "Marshal Qianfeng, why don't you go back and rest first, it seems that His Highness won't wake up for a while."

"Rest, how can I rest."

Qianfeng was slightly angry and said: "We lost nearly 30,000 armored demon warriors in this battle. This is a disastrous defeat that our Protoss has never experienced. You want me to rest."

The guard kept silent and said: "Marshal, this subordinate knows his mistake... Please forgive me, Marshal."

Qianfeng didn't care as much as he did, and said: "You go in and report again, just say that Qianfeng has something urgent to see His Highness."

"this……"

The guard looked embarrassed: "Marshal, don't embarrass the little one. His Highness the Third Prince said...no one should disturb his rest. If the Third Prince gets angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my head."

"What are you afraid of? With me here, no one can touch you."

Qianfeng was a little annoyed, stretched out his hand and pushed, "Get out of the way, I must see Your Highness immediately."

...

"Wow."

The moment the curtain of the big tent was opened, Qianfeng saw that the third prince's bed was empty, and he froze there immediately, saying: "Your Highness... His Highness is someone else."

The guard trembled all over, and hastily knelt down on the ground, saying: "Marshal, please forgive me. Your Highness went out with his personal guards at dusk. He said that he got the news that Qin Yin, the human empress, had left the camp. His Highness, the third prince, decided to stay in the unicorn forest." To assassinate the Empress Qin Yin, so... so they have already gone, the marshal spared my life, it was His Highness who asked me to do this..."

Qianfeng was trembling with anger: "Nonsense...it's just nonsense, you really think that human beings have no masters."
