Chapter 1197: Ten Thousand Bones Withered
On the other side, in a military camp, it was late at night, but the campfire was burning brightly. The bright light illuminated the camp and the hundreds of meters around the camp.
This is the camp of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Since the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry defeated 50,000 with 3,000, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took advantage of the victory to pursue, or to pursue but not kill, but only pursued the important figures of the Huang Tian Army. As for the defeated Huang Tian Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry advocated not killing those who surrendered, so as to further disintegrate the fighting will of the Huang Tian Army.
If they knew that those who surrendered would die, the Huang Tian Army would definitely fight desperately, unlike now, except for the core elites of the Huang Tian Army, the rest of the soldiers and horses have no fighting will at all.
Many who knew they could not escape surrendered directly. After surrendering, their weapons were taken away, and then they only had a meal of porridge a day, which was mixed with bran and had no nutrition, to ensure that they would not starve to death, so as to prevent the surrendered soldiers from fighting desperately, and at the same time, the surrendered people would lose their fighting power.
Some of the Huang Tianjun who did not believe in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fled into the mountains and forests in scattered pieces. For these people, unless there were important figures among them, such as officers above the rank of Sima, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would leave them alone.
The idea of the group of Huang Tianjun who fled into the mountains and forests was also very simple. It was not that they were so loyal, but they simply felt that other people could not be trusted. Throughout history, there were too many people who said that surrenderers would not be killed the moment before, and then killed the surrendered soldiers the next moment.
Although those people rarely had a good ending later, no one was willing to take their own life to gamble with the character of others.
As for chasing and killing officers, it was to prevent officers from escaping and gathering the remaining soldiers, which would be a troublesome matter at that time.
In terms of the use of troops, if Wu Yuan was still a little immature, then Wu Qi was quite a bit of a god in the use of troops. He did not do any unnecessary things, and every bit of strength was used in the most critical place.
At this moment, in the central army tent in the center of the camp, Wu Qi was sleeping soundly. Wu Qi was now in his thirties, in the prime of his life. However, human energy was not endless. During the day, he not only had to lead troops to attack, but also had to deal with all kinds of things. It was not easy for an army to fully operate.
But at this moment, Wu Qi suddenly had a heartache, and then he sat up suddenly, startling the attendant who was serving him.
"General..."
The attendant just came over.
"I'm fine!"
Wu Qi waved his hand, gasping for breath while speaking, covering his chest, and really couldn't help but recall the bloody scene in his dream just now.
He dreamed that his nephew Wu Yuan was pierced by several long spears and died with his eyes wide open...
The wide-open eyes full of bloodshot looked straight at him, as if telling his unwillingness.
That dream was too real, so real that even if he woke up, he still felt scared.
But at this moment, he thought about it carefully, and felt that such a thing could not happen at all. After all, his nephew was always brave and led more than 20 tiger and leopard cavalry. Even if he was besieged by hundreds of people, he could fight his way out.
More importantly, his nephew was not a brave but foolish person. On the contrary, there was no capable person in the Huangtian Army.
After all, the foundation of the Huangtian Army was a group of mud legs. It was not the military tactics that enabled them to sweep the world at the beginning, but the number of people.
In this battle, the main general of the Huangtian Army had been killed by him, and the rest were just some fish and shrimp.
However, although he comforted himself in this way, for some reason, Wu Qi still couldn't suppress his heartache.
When he thought of Wu Yuan's appearance in the dream, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
This was not only because they had a good relationship between uncle and nephew, but more importantly, everyone thought that Wu Yuan was his nephew, but in fact, Wu Yuan was his son.
In this era, such things are not uncommon.
His elder brother passed away early and at a good time, and his sister-in-law married his elder brother at the age of fourteen. When Wu Yuan was born, she was only twenty-two years old, which was the most beautiful time of her life...
After a moment of silence, Wu Qi shouted: "Come on, let all the Taoists in the camp come over."
He is not very powerful now, but there are still some inferior Taoists who come to him. Taoists are also divided into famous families, poor families, and even poor families. For example, Fan Qingmeng and Ji Zhengwo, who are the pride of the emperor, are naturally available.
Ordinary Taoists, however, have no choice.
If you want to practice, you need luck. Small sects and even casual cultivators who have accidentally obtained inheritance can only work for others in exchange for luck if they want to improve their cultivation.
About half a minute later, three Taoists of different appearances entered the tent. Wu Qi did not hesitate and told them his dream directly, which made all three Taoists frown.
It is said that if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. However, these Taoists know that there is a deep connection between dreams and the void.
The stronger the fate is, the more independent and powerful one will be. It is not easily moved by external things. Only when something happens that is closely related to oneself can it be touched.
But they can see the fate clearly because they are in the game, but they can see that now is the time when the fate of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is rising and the fate of the Yellow Sky Army is weakening.
And Wu Yuan is even more angry like a tiger and wolf. He has his own fate to protect him. Even if there is danger, he can have a premonition in advance and will not get into trouble easily.
Therefore, in this case, the three Taoists did not dare to speak nonsense. They just said that they were not talented and learned, and their achievements were not enough. They could not see clearly, and shirked their responsibilities.
When Wu Qi heard this, he was quiet for a moment and then waved away the Taoist.
From the Taoist's attitude, he also knew that his dream was unusual.
He was a general and he was in the army. Even Taoist Huang Tian couldn't use the magic spell to kill him.
So, was his dream caused by the blood connection between father and son, or was it because he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night? !
If it's the latter, that's fine. If it's the former...
…
In the forest, Zhao Cheng did not let his soldiers cut off Wu Yuan's head. This was not because he was merciful, but because he did not intend to leave the forest in a short period of time. With the humidity and heat of the mountain forest, even if it was pickled with quicklime, the head would not be cut off. It was difficult to keep, so he just asked someone to take Wu Yuan's token and use it as a certificate later.
After that, he asked his soldiers to make repairs on the spot, and used Taoist techniques to treat the wounded. By dawn, all Huang Tianjun who died in the battle had been buried and marked on the trees.
After doing all this, Zhao Cheng took the remaining Huang Tianjun to sacrifice. Ordinary people could not see it, but Zhao Cheng saw that with his sacrifice, the broken spirits of the war dead were rapidly moving. Reunion.
At the beginning, these spirits still looked like they had been disemboweled before death, with blood flowing freely. But as the sacrifices were made, Huang Tian's Qi fell, and in a single sweep, all the spirits' dead appearances were removed, and they returned to their clean and tidy appearance. appearance.
As for the soldiers who had official positions or were posthumously granted titles, their clothes were directly transformed into official robes with animals tattooed on them.
In this world, the official robes of military generals are beasts, and the official robes of civilian officials are birds. The so-called beasts dressed in robes are not a derogatory term in this era.
With the change, all the spirits who died in the battle seemed to see Zhao Cheng, bowed to Zhao Cheng, and then returned to Huang Tian.
Zhao Cheng knew that if the Tao Kingdom on earth was established, these spirits would not be able to live forever, but they would be able to enjoy purity and happiness for a long time. But if the Yellow Sky was overturned, all the spirits would be lost in the void in an instant, or Directly destroyed, or exiled...
Although it is said that one general's achievements are worth tens of thousands of withered bones, but if he can really accomplish his feats, the sacrificed bones will not be sacrificed in vain in this life, but will have their own rewards.
There are two chapters left to write.
