Volume 1 Chapter 180 The whole army retreats
Taixu magic power, transform Taixu.
A secret method of gaining temporary combat power by overdrawing life.
Even ordinary people who know about the Taixu magic skill would not know about the heaven-defying secret method of Hua Taixu.
But Jiang Fei is different. He gained the recognition of the master of Taixu Divine Art in Qili Mountain, and only then did he receive this true teaching!
One use costs twenty years of life essence!
Not only will his life span be shortened, but his overall condition will also be shortened by twenty years, so Jiang Fei's current physical condition is that of a thirty-seven-year-old!
"Ahem~Ahem!" Jiang Fei said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, there are so many people watching us. If you keep hugging me like this, where will my dignity as a marshal be?"
"I don't care!" Jiang Yue cursed angrily, but held Jiang Fei even tighter. He was afraid, really afraid, afraid of losing his dearest brother!
Although he behaves in a mature manner on weekdays, he is actually a very sentimental person.
The affection between parents and brothers is what he values most; the love for Zhen Yueling is what he cherishes most; and he is most grateful for the emperor's recognition and kindness!
The power that keeps him alive is the existence of these emotions, so he will not allow anyone to leave him, which will make him feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Fei smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said helplessly: "It's not a big deal. At worst, my brother will go first, and you can be filial to my parents on my behalf."
"It's my fault that I failed to protect you. I'm sorry!" Jiang Yue said while choking, tears rolling down his eyes uncontrollably.
Twenty years of life, the most precious youth of a person's life, is gone just like that, just to save him!
Jiang Fei was helpless, as he couldn't convince his elder brother, so he had to let him continue holding him. However, looking at so many soldiers around him, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
Zhu Qiyu, who was standing by, felt very uncomfortable watching this scene. For some reason, his throat became choked and he had difficulty speaking. His eyes also became red.
Men don't shed tears easily, but in such a touching scene, a sentimental poet like him who is well-versed in poetry and literature is most likely to be moved and evoked by the scene.
The moisture in his eyes was not only because of the pure friendship between the two brothers, but also because he was happy that the Great Sun Dynasty had such a good man who went to war to protect the people.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground and the blood-stained battlefield, the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty who were still standing were all only in their twenties, all young men, but now each of their faces was stained with thick blood, and their clothes were stained with the dust of the battlefield.
But none of them had any fear on their faces, only anger!
Zhu Qiyu let out a long breath, suppressed his sobs, and summoned up the courage to speak in a trembling voice: "Have you not seen that at the end of the day, a young man tied up an enemy and asked for a long rope; have you not seen that Ban Dingyuan, a light cavalryman in a remote area, urged the enemy to fight!
A man should take dangerous tasks seriously, why would he let being a scholar ruin his life?
What’s more, the country is in danger and the imperial edicts are being sent out without stopping!
I put aside my old pen and wrote down my wartime pride. I called on more than a hundred thousand comrades to join the army, singing battle songs.
Join the army! Clean up the enemy dust and wipe out the black witch at all costs! "
"The flag is fluttering, the horse is galloping. The flag is fluttering, the horse is galloping. Good men, good men, good men, serve your country today!"
After reading the poem, Zhu Qiyu was filled with emotion. He then looked around at the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, soldiers, I am Zhu Qiyu. Everyone follow me to sing this military poem. We pay tribute to the spirits of the heroes who died in the battle and to the lives of the people who suffered!"
Then Zhu Qiyu took the lead in singing aloud: "Don't you see, at the end of the day, the young captives asked for a long rope~"
Suddenly, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty followed Zhu Qiyu in singing. Zhu Qiyu sang one sentence, and they sang one sentence. Their voices were high and loud, resounding through the sky.
"A man should shoulder the responsibility of taking dangerous actions, so as not to let his scholarly nature ruin his life!" This line of poetry expresses the thoughts of many soldiers, and makes them feel heroic and full of aspirations!
When the Black Witch Kingdom soldiers in Nanshan City in the distance heard such loud singing, they lowered their heads one by one. Guo Ziyi even trembled, then slowly closed his eyes and trembled.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yue rode on his warhorse with a spear in hand, rode in front of all the soldiers, and raised his spear high: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Follow me to take down Nanshan City in one fell swoop and take back the city that belongs to us!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" One hundred thousand soldiers responded to Jiang Yue with the same heroic roar, and then raised their weapons high. With just one order, they would turn into wolves, tigers and leopards, and bite the sheep of the Black Witch Kingdom in Nanshan City ahead to death!
In Nanshan City, the remaining generals gathered around Guo Ziyi and asked in panic, "Marshal, what should we do now?"
"Marshal, what countermeasures do you have? The army of the Great Sun Dynasty is about to attack the city. Should we fight or not?"
Guo Ziyi now felt his eyelids extremely heavy. He took a deep look outside the city, then sighed loudly: "The entire army retreats, back to Linyong City!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals around him gasped, obviously not expecting the Marshal to make such a decision.
But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable, because they can't think of any strategy to repel the enemy now, especially now that the morale of the Great Sun Dynasty's army is high and our army's morale is low. If we want to fight, the chances of winning are extremely low, so abandoning the city and returning to Linyong City to make plans is the best option.
Thinking of this, all the generals withdrew and began to organize their troops to evacuate Nanshan City.
In fact, how could they know that Guo Ziyi no longer had the courage to go to war with the Jiang brothers. He was really defeated and scared!
Watching the troops on the walls of Nanshan City ahead disappear one by one, all the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty were stunned and puzzled, obviously not knowing what the other side was doing.
Only Jiang Yue trembled, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Could it be that his conspiracy really succeeded?
He rode his horse quickly towards the direction of the Nanshan City wall, leaving Jiang Fei and Zhu Qiyu stunned.
Arriving at the city gate, Jiang Yue kicked it without hesitation, and immediately the huge city gate was kicked open. Looking around, he saw that Nanshan City was in a mess, and there was no soldier from the Black Witch Kingdom!
There was only dust flying on the road, indicating that there was a large number of troops here just now, but they must have evacuated in a hurry!
Jiang Yue burst into laughter, immediately raised his spear high, turned around and shouted loudly: "The Black Witch Nation's army has retreated, the entire army is entering the city!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty immediately started celebrating, and they kept shouting: "The general is mighty! The general is mighty!"
Zhu Qiyu and Jiang Fei looked at this scene in disbelief, obviously doubting their lives, and Zhu Qiyu shouted excitedly: "Good, good, good!"
As the armies of the Great Sun Dynasty entered Nanshan City one after another, they did not see any troops from the Black Witch Kingdom. Even the poisonous snakes and other creatures were not left behind and had all been moved away.
There were still no common people around, but Jiang Yue and the others had become numb and suppressed their anger deep in their hearts.
At night, Jiang Yue arranged all the soldiers to go to the battlefield outside to collect corpses. Two large pits were dug a thousand meters away. The brothers of the Great Sun Dynasty were buried in one pit, and the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom were buried in another pit.
They had to do this. If they left these corpses piled up here unattended, it would definitely cause a plague. Zhu Qiyu mentioned this to Jiang Yue.
The soldiers worked hard until the second half of the night before they had a chance to rest. They should have had a party to celebrate the victory that night, but no one did so.
Their adrenaline was so high during the day, and now that they had calmed down, they were extremely tired.
Tired, so tired that words cannot describe it. After getting a rest, all the soldiers found a bed in a house in Nanshan City, lay down on it and fell asleep. No matter how hard they tried, they could not be woken up. Even if there were some soldiers who were still awake, they lay on the ground and did not want to move a finger.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Fei was about to take a rest when Jiang Yue rushed in. He came to Jiang Fei with a bloody hand, holding a dark green oval object the size of a baby's fist, and said anxiously, "Xiao Fei, hurry up and swallow this obsidian snake king gallbladder while it's hot. It will be very good for you!"
Snake gall is the essence of a snake, and the gall of the obsidian snake king is even more miraculous. It is indeed a great tonic for Jiang Fei now.
The corner of Jiang Fei's mouth twitched. Although he knew that this was a good thing, "Brother, please wash your hands before coming over here. How can you eat when you see such a bloody appearance!"
Jiang Fei did not waste any time. He took the snake gall, and threw it into his mouth while suppressing the fishy smell. Then he swallowed it into his stomach with a "gulp", and then hurriedly circulated the Taixu Qi to begin refining and absorbing it.
Jiang Yue quickly asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Jiang Fei didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and practiced his internal energy. The next moment, the strand of snow-white hair on his head turned dark blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. Jiang Yue was overjoyed. This was simply a blessing in disguise!
But his smile froze halfway, because Jiang Fei's white hair had only grown back less than one-third and stopped growing, unable to move forward any further.
At this time, Jiang Fei also opened his eyes and stopped practicing. Seeing the unnatural expression on Jiang Yue's face, he said cheerfully: "It feels very good! Brother, please go back soon. I'm very tired and need to go to bed first!"
Then, without waiting for Jiang Yue to speak, Jiang Fei lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and said no more words.
Jiang Yue, who was standing beside Xiu's bed, gave him a complicated look, then looked left and right, then looked at his bloody hands, and finally left without saying a word, closing the door for Jiang Fei.
After Jiang Yue left, a hot tear involuntarily rolled down Jiang Fei's eyes. He then covered his eyes with his right arm and sobbed silently on the bed, but the expression on his face was a smile, which looked extremely weird.
Twenty years of life is not something that can be given to you just like that. Although he has no regrets at all, he does not care about it either.
He also began to feel a little scared, afraid that he would slowly die of old age!
After the Hua Taixu state was lifted, he could clearly feel that his condition was not as good as before!
Whether it was energy or spirit, every movement of his fists and feet, there was a feeling of being powerless. There was no trace of the vigorous and tireless state as before.
