Although Li Xiongtian escaped, the battle was a great victory. Some of the White Robe Army was killed, some was captured, and it was difficult for them to make a difference.
When counting the battlefield after the war, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Li Xiongtian's crime of treason and treason is set in stone.
"Not only did Youzhou surrender, but the White Robe Army also surrendered? This shouldn't be the case..."
According to Xia He's original idea, it would be reasonable for Youzhou to surrender to the barbarian army.
But the White Robe Army also defected to the Barbarian Army. Don’t they have a grudge against the two major families?
"Could it be that... Wanyan Bi is cheating both sides?"
"It seems so..."
This time, we wiped out disciples from several major sects, and the harvest was astonishing.
Xia He sent people to search their camp carefully and found a large amount of elixirs, weapons and food.
"The urgent need for food and fodder has been temporarily resolved."
What interested Xia He the most were the martial arts secrets of several major sects.
While sorting out the spoils, Xia He discovered that these sects had a very rich collection of martial arts books.
Among them there are many Huajin-level skills, and even several rare secret books of Tongmai-level.
The most eye-catching of these is the Fenglei Sword School's body movements and swordsmanship.
The Fenglei Sword School's body movement technique is called "Wind and Thunder Step", which is an extremely advanced martial art.
After practicing to a small degree, the body will be as fast as wind and lightning, and can gain a great advantage in battle.
The swordsmanship of the Fenglei Sword School is even more amazing. It is called "Wind and Thunder Sword Art" and is a martial art at the Tongmai level.
By practicing this sword technique, after achieving a small degree of success, one can condense the wind and thunder sword intent, and the sword force will be as fierce as a violent storm, extremely sharp.
Once one breaks through to the Tongmai realm, he will be able to condense green sword energy that can cut through iron like mud with incredible power.
Xia He flipped through these secret books and couldn't help but admire them in his heart.
He was particularly interested in the green sword energy of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique.
This sword energy can not only be attached to weapons to greatly increase the lethality of the weapons, but also attack the enemy from a long distance.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Xia He's mind:
"If this green sword energy is added to a weapon, wouldn't the power be doubled?"
However, ordinary weapons are simply unable to store sword energy. Only weapons at the "Xuan" level can withstand the power of the green sword energy.
Xuanbing is extremely rare and requires extremely fine materials to make, which is difficult for ordinary warriors to obtain.
The long sword in Li Xiongtian's hand before had black air swirling around the sword body, and it was obviously a mysterious weapon.
It’s a pity that Li Xiongtian took the sword with him when he escaped, otherwise Xia He would really like to study it carefully.
"It seems that if I want to realize this idea, I have to find a mysterious weapon first."
Xia He thought to himself. He carefully put away the secret book of the Wind and Thunder Sword School, preparing to study it carefully in the future.
The current situation is tense and the Northern Barbarian army may attack at any time. He must focus all his energy on preparing for war and has no time to study these martial arts in depth.
"Everyone, these martial arts secrets are the spoils of this battle to wipe out the White Robe Army. If you are interested, you can choose a technique that suits you to practice."
Everyone was delighted when they heard this.
"Thank you, General Xia!"
"I told you, if you follow General Xia, you'll have meat to eat, hahaha!"
"Damn it, I, Liu Da, will be General Xia's man for the rest of my life!"
"Get lost! I don't like men!"
If Xia He hadn’t lured them out during this surprise attack, how could we have achieved such a great harvest?
Any martial arts book here can be sold for at least several thousand taels of silver, and there is simply no demand for it!
But Xia He just rewarded them casually!
"Good man, great good man!"
However, the joy of victory did not last long, as the urgent report from the scouts broke the brief peace.
A carrier pigeon brought news that a hundred miles away, fifty thousand Northern Barbarian ambush troops were rushing towards the canyon!
"What, are you serious? Fifty thousand!?"
The Youzhou city could not be captured after a long siege, and the 30,000 troops led by Zhao Tiangang suffered heavy losses, with less than 20,000 troops left now.
Although Xia He had expected this, he did not gloat over it. Instead, he frowned, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Once Zhao Tiangang's army is destroyed, we will be trapped here and there will be no way to survive."
Xia He said in a deep voice, his eyes swept over everyone.
"The only way out now is to return to the canyon and ambush the Northern Barbarians!"
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were nervous, they also understood that what Xia He said was true.
So the army acted quickly and rushed to the canyon to set up an ambush.
Early in the morning of the third day, the soldiers guarding the canyon suddenly discovered that Zhao Tiangang's army, which had retreated from the direction of Youzhou, was approaching them in a panic.
As soon as Zhao Tiangang saw Xia He, he angrily asked:
"Xia He! Didn't I order you to wipe out the White Robe Army within five days? Why are you hiding here and delaying military operations?"
Xia He looked calm and replied calmly:
"The White Robe Army has been completely wiped out. Li Xiongtian is a traitor to the country. The evidence is irrefutable."
When Zhao Tiangang heard this, his face changed, and his original anger was immediately choked, and he was speechless for a long time.
The generals behind him also looked at each other, obviously not expecting that Xia He had completed the task.
At this time, Zhu Yi stepped forward and asked coldly:
"General Zhao, you lead an army of 30,000, why can't you even capture Youzhou City?"
Zhao Tiangang's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "There are suddenly a lot of city defense equipment in Youzhou City, and the killing power is huge!"
"Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses! Now we must retreat temporarily, regroup our troops, and attack the city again!"
Hearing this, Xia He sneered and interrupted him unceremoniously:
"I'm afraid you can't get away. There are already 50,000 Northern Barbarians rushing towards us from outside the canyon. If we retreat now, we will only be attacked from both sides and be annihilated!"
