Volume 1 Chapter 184 The Condors Gathering
"As long as they are soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty, they are all brothers to us all!"
Jiang Fei said sincerely: "Brother, let's go together, okay!"
"Okay!" Jiang Yue finally couldn't hold back anymore, tears rolling down his cheeks. He choked and said, "Let's collect the bodies of these brothers together!"
Suddenly everyone was mobilized. The corpses stunk and the rotten meat was dirty, but none of the soldiers were disgusted. They were not afraid of getting dirty or tired.
The labor force of 100,000 soldiers was very strong. Some of them went to carry the corpses, some went to look for scattered corpses around the mountains and forests, and many people went to expand and deepen the three-meter-deep pit again, or to make tombstones for the more than 70,000 soldiers.
Everyone worked from early morning until 3 p.m., and all the bodies were collected and buried deep in the mountain.
They piled up soil one after another until a huge hill was formed, and finally a tombstone was erected with the words "Tomb of Chuyonglang of the Dainichi Dynasty" written on it.
Jiang Yue knelt in front of the tombstone again, kowtowed three times and nine times, and then said angrily: "Rest in peace, brothers. Jiang Yue will definitely kill all those beasts of the Divine Eagle Gang and avenge you!"
“Boom! Boom!”
“Boom~!”
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard, and a large number of crows and sparrows flew around, obviously frightened.
There were also many wild beasts roaring in the mountains and forests, as if responding to and provoking the sounds of the explosions.
The sound of explosions continued, like thunder, but when all the soldiers looked up, it was broad daylight, so where did the thunder come from?
The next moment, even the hill they were on began to tremble slightly, as if responding to the explosion in front.
Jiang Yue quickly stood up, exchanged a glance with Jiang Fei, and then immediately led his 100,000 troops to rush towards the direction where the explosion came from.
Judging from the direction of the sound, it is just behind a few mountains ahead, and this direction is exactly the hill where the headquarters of the Condor Gang is located!
"Bombard me again, and use up all the shells you brought!"
"Where are the mortars? Bring them all out to me and blow these bastards to death!"
If we were to say which of the three major gangs Xiang Yun hated the most, it would be the Divine Eagle Gang. The reason was simply because the Divine Eagle Gang massacred more than 70,000 of his elite troops and even killed his beloved general Jiang Yue, whom he had high hopes for!
This is really something that only his grandmother can tolerate but his uncle cannot. To him, the other two gangs are just a scourge to the Great Sun Dynasty, but he has a direct blood feud with the Divine Eagle Gang.
He must avenge the 70,000 soldiers and Jiang Yue!
So after Xiang Yun led his troops to the territory of the Divine Eagle Gang, as soon as he found the opponent's headquarters on the hill, he attacked them without saying a word!
All the large Japanese cannons and mortars were used to bombard the area as much as they could. This was the last gang to be eliminated, so he didn't need to save any more shells. After dealing with the Divine Eagle Gang, he would go straight back to the capital.
He couldn't wait to return to the palace to visit his Qin Su, Wang Jiaojiao and other ladies, so speed was of the essence!
This was a tough time for the bandits on the mountain. They suffered a great disaster in broad daylight. They were eating hot pot, singing songs, and enjoying the warm beds with their wives on the mountain, when suddenly, "boom", they and their wives exploded together, and even the iron pot for hot pot flew hundreds of meters away!
Who can I go to for justice?
For them, the most deadly thing was not the exploding shells. The mountain was too big, and the shells were not dense enough to kill many people.
What really killed them were the rocks that were softened and fell off due to the shock of the artillery shells. Each one was huge, dense and heavy, and they fell down without them having anywhere to hide.
There was even a village built on a dangerous cliff. Due to the fall of a shell, the rocks broke and the entire village fell into the cliff along with the broken huge rock.
Nearly 30,000 bandits in the mountain stronghold were inexplicably buried on the cliff. They had no hope of survival and could not even cry out to heaven or earth.
The leader of the Condor Gang, Bald Eagle, was furious at this time. The emperor was leading the army in person and was coming with great force. He called all the bandit forces to this hill. There were more than 300,000 bandits. The daily food expenses alone were a considerable amount of money.
But such a great sacrifice was made just to be able to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army and fight to the death!
If the emperor doesn't want them to live, then they won't let the emperor have an easy time!
The plan was originally perfect, but the old vulture monster could never have imagined that Xiang Yun would not fight him head-on. Before the army even went up the mountain, black shells were fired at them.
The battle had only just begun for less than half an hour, and they hadn't even seen the shadow of the imperial soldiers, but more than half of the bandits had already died. Now there were less than 100,000 bandits left on the hill.
And because of the falling rocks, these 100,000 bandits were separated in different places, and he could not command them at all.
Some people are trapped in the mountain and cannot get out. If they stay there for a long time, they will suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.
There were people on the mountainside who were not affected, but they didn't know what had happened. Monk Erzhang was confused and was turning around in circles in panic.
Some were trapped on the cliffs of the mountains because their retreat routes were cut off by huge rocks. Without wings, they would not be able to get down the mountain at all.
The vulture monster himself was one of those trapped on the cliffs of the mountain.
Looking at the desolate mountains and bottomless cliffs, coupled with the whistling mountain wind that made his feather cloak whistle, he felt completely desperate and began to doubt his life.
No matter how the imperial cannons bombarded him, it could no longer disturb his mind, because it no longer mattered.
Looking at the huge rock blocking the way down the mountain, he fell into despair.
In the current situation, no matter whether the Divine Eagle Gang is destroyed or not, he can't get out. The only choice is to jump off the cliff!
Or he could choose to starve to death in the mountains.
He had never been so desperate in his life. He missed his sacred eagle so much at this moment. He wished it could appear in front of him and take him away from here.
But it will never be possible, because the sacred eagle was plucked and roasted by Jiang Fei's subordinates, and its flesh was shared among more than a dozen generals. Now it is impossible to piece together the bones even if you want to.
If he could do it again, he would definitely choose not to carry out that ambush. Not only did he not gain any benefit, but he also provoked a "tiger" and lost the eagle.
It’s too late to regret now!
Half an hour later, all the shells Xiang Yun brought were used up. The hilltop of the Divine Eagle Gang in front of them was already devastated and in ruins. It looked like even if there were still people alive on the hilltop, they would be trapped and die.
Xiang Yun waved his hand, and suddenly a large number of soldiers holding Da Ri rifles began to go up the mountain, shooting any surviving bandits they met along the way.
He needed to clear out the bandits who had escaped from the foot of the mountain, leaving no one alive, to prevent them from continuing to harm the people in the dynasty after they came down the mountain. Now it was just a piece of cake, and perhaps it would save the lives of many innocent people.
At this moment, a large number of troops emerged from a mountain path not far away. They were densely packed and the armor they wore was the special armor for the three armies of the Great Sun Dynasty.
Xiang Yun was stunned when he saw this, and frowned, "Whose troops are these?"
As they were still quite far away, Xiang Yun couldn't see who was coming, so he called Zhao Zhong over and ordered him, "Take someone up and ask who they are, and bring their generals to see me!"
"Yes!" After Zhao Zhong agreed, he immediately mounted his warhorse and rushed over with a team of cavalry.
Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the army in the distance, thinking to himself: "Don't let me meet another rebel king, I won't be so merciful this time!"
After Zhao Zhong met up with the army in the distance, he actually dismounted his horse to salute, then pointed at his side and kept saying something. It seemed that he was a friend, not an enemy.
Xiang Yun couldn't help scratching his head. He really couldn't remember what other troops were around.
Not long after, Zhao Zhong brought Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei and ran over quickly. Before they arrived, Jiang Yue saw Xiang Yun's tall figure, and his heart was so excited that his body couldn't stop shaking.
He quickly quickened his pace, took two steps at a time and came to Xiang Yun. Without any hesitation, he knelt down on his knees and said in a trembling voice, "I, the guilty general Jiang Yue, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Jiang Fei, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable watching this scene. He did not kneel, but bowed to Xiang Yun and said, "General Jiang Fei pays respect to His Majesty."
Xiang Yun stared at Jiang Yue for a long time with his brows furrowed. Finally, he personally went forward to help Jiang Yue up, and said with a strange look on his face: "Good fellow, I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
"It's a pity that I was so sad for you for a while. Tell me, if you are not dead, why don't you return to the capital to report? There is not even a message. This is really too much. What? Are you thinking of rebelling against heaven?"
Xiang Yun said this out of anger. Jiang Yue was still alive, and he was so happy, but he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
After all, the dark forces member he had arranged in the anti-bandit team was also killed by the people of the Divine Eagle Gang, so he had no news about Jiang Yue's whereabouts that day. He really didn't like this feeling of being out of control.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately knelt down again and told Jiang Fei all about how he was captured by the evil eagle that day and rescued by Jiang Fei, and then how he wiped out the Black Witch Kingdom.
He was kneeling the whole time. Jiang Fei tried to pull him up several times, but was rejected every time.
"Now that Southern Xinjiang has been pacified, my brother and I are preparing to follow the imperial decree to wipe out these three gangs. We didn't expect to meet your majesty here!"
Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes widely when he heard this. Although the Black Witch Kingdom's army was repelled, the prestige of these two brothers in the army is now ridiculously high!
Then he looked at Jiang Fei again, and saw that this guy was indeed full of arrogance, and was not afraid of his gaze at all. Now he thought that it seemed that this guy didn't even kneel when he saw him just now!
"Interesting!" Xiang Yun smiled secretly in his heart, and then said to Jiang Yue in a deep voice: "Considering your meritorious service in repelling the enemy, I will not punish you for your defeat. Instead, you can use your merit to offset your sin. Get up!"
Jiang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly prepared to stand up. At this time, he heard Xiang Yun say, "If you dare to act on your own again and fail to report when something happens, I will not be so easy to talk to."
