Chapter 520

The forest is between Lingshan mountain, Longpan mountain and Huju mountain, and behind the forest are the two remaining mountains. Therefore, it covers an extremely large area, which is enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to be stationed. If it is a war between countries, Lu Kuo would not want to set up a temporary camp here, because as long as there is a big fire, hundreds of thousands of troops can be wiped out, but it is a war between man and beast, There is no such worry.

When the army came to the edge of the forest, they could only see a few tents built sporadically in the forest. Many people wearing Fengxiang army armor were cutting down trees and building barracks.

"Sister Qingcheng, are you ok?" Seeing Gu Qingcheng coming, Lu que quickly turns over and dismounts, and his eyes are constantly looking at Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng's appearance at this time really startled him. His armor was bloodstained, but there were many scratches and tooth marks, and even his armor was bitten in several places. It was obvious that he was left by the beast when he rushed into the battle.

"I'm fine. Have you forgotten the soft armor you gave me before?" Gu Qingcheng shakes her head and looks at Lu que, who is safe in front of her. When she leads Feng Xiangyun to ride in the tide of beasts, she sees that Lu Que's middle troops are all pressed to fight with the tide of beasts. You know, the battle is blind, and the tide of beasts is extremely violent. Gu Qingcheng is also afraid of Lu Que's injury.

"I have nothing to do with being in the Chinese army." Lu que shakes his head. To tell the truth, he is envious of Shen Zhang and Gu Qingcheng. As a young man, who has ever thought of the red robed spear playing his best in the battle? Even Lu que is indifferent. But as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, he did not have such an opportunity at all. Even when the whole army finally came down, it was not his turn to kill the enemy with his sword.

"How about the damage to the wolves of Fengxiang yunqi and Baixia?" Lu que asked again.

Hearing Lu Que's inquiry, Gu Qingcheng's face was slightly darkened and said, "yunqi was killed 4000 and slightly injured more than 1000. Baixia's wolves were more than half damaged. Baixia also suffered some minor injuries when fighting with Yufeng giant tiger, but it's not very serious."

Since the war started in southern Xinjiang last year, Gu Qingcheng has been in the sky like nobody. Even when she attacked Xihe at night and Pingshan pass, her fengxiangyun riding has never been so badly damaged. But just a few hours after the fierce battle, her 25000 fengxiangyun riding lost one fifth. Moreover, unlike the battle of beast tide and the battle of Tianxing, there are only two kinds of battles: death and slight injury. As long as you are seriously injured, you have no chance to escape from the battle. Either you die with the beast, or you are torn to pieces by beast tide. In that case, even if you want to save yourself, it is impossible.

After hearing Gu Qingcheng's words, Lu Que's hand could not help shaking. Except for the Changqing emperor's cavalry, which had not been used as the last reserve force, the elite cavalry of the four legions were all severely damaged. As the main force of the attack, the benlei heavy cavalry was damaged by nearly half, and it had already broken the bones and muscles.

Perhaps in the war report later presented to the imperial capital, these loyal soldiers were just a series of cold numbers, but behind those numbers, they represented families of grief. Lu que did not dare to think about the parents who were looking forward to the door, the daughters who were looking forward to the return of their husbands, and the children who were looking forward to the return of their fathers. When they received the black military letter representing the death in battle, How desperate it would be.

Looking at Lu que, whose face was quiet, but his eyes could not hide his grief, Gu Qingcheng felt distressed. He really took too much weight that he should not have borne at his age. His family, country, country, country, country, hundreds of millions of people were all under pressure on him. She watched with her own eyes that he had been sleeping all night and that he had been working all night to deduce all the possibilities of the war.

The just concluded battle under the pass of Zhennan, with 450000 troops hunting animals, will surely shock the world. With this battle, Lu que can be listed in the annals of history and strive for glory. Because in this war, whether it's Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an, or Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, Lu Que's father, they must gather all forces to defend zhennanguan. This is the safest way. In the face of the tide of animals all over the world, the land of Daqian is behind them, and there is almost no danger to defend to the south of the imperial capital.

But Lu que was not. He led his troops to the two mountains of Longpan and Huju, making the tide of beasts crossing Danshui a bloody road paved with corpses. The fire in the two mountains and canyons left countless charred corpses. In addition to the tide of beasts led by Ye Zhiqiu, only half of the mighty Xiyuan tide of beasts arrived at zhennanguan.

In the battle of defending zhennanguan, Lu que pays close attention to the situation every day. Gu Qingcheng knows that the reason why Lu que does this is to let the towering wall of zhennanguan consume the last bit of strength of the beast tide, so that today's army gathered to win the decisive battle.

Just a few hours after the war, there were 450000 Changqing, Huxiao, and FanFeng regiments, plus Fengxiang yunqi and benlei heavy cavalry. Because the war was extremely fierce, it seems that all the armies suffered a lot of casualties. Although the final statistics of the war have not yet come out, Gu Qingcheng knows that the final survivors must be more than 300000. The loss of 150000 yuan to wipe out the tide of Jedi beasts is a great victory that has never been won since ancient times. As the commander of this battle, Lu que must be respected and full of honor.

But Gu Qingcheng knew that Lu Qian didn't care about this. He did almost everything. Maybe from the moment when the final strategy was formed, Lu Qian was blaming himself, blaming himself for being sent to death by him. Looking at the pain in Lu Qian's eyes, which could hardly be concealed, Gu Qingcheng's heart was trembling.

The so-called benevolence is not in charge of the army. In front of everyone, Lu que has to be calm and unafraid. No matter how many casualties he faces, he will not change his face. But Gu Qingcheng knows that Lu que is still the kind-hearted Lu que. He doesn't have the cold heart of a long-standing general. He never cares about power and fame. He never cares about the success of a general, He is more willing to be a student in Fengming academy, or travel in the mountains and rivers.

But things are changeable. From the moment Lu que was appointed commander in chief of Southern Xinjiang, he had no choice. And Gu Qingcheng knew that Lu xusuo was sad, not only for the death of the soldiers, but also for the beast tide that was destroyed by him. Lu que grew up in the mountain of no return. He has been friends with all kinds of exotic animals since he was a child. Perhaps in his mind, those mountain beasts are closer than human beings of the same race, but today it is he who personally pushed the whole tide of Jedi beasts to death.

Gu Qingcheng looks up at the familiar or unfamiliar faces behind Lu que. These people may have seen the result of the battle, and they may have seen that there is no supreme saint and strong, only relying on the human army to destroy the beast tide. However, these people do not know the sadness in Lu Que's heart at this time. Maybe only she can understand these.

"Marshal Shen, it's up to you to set up camp. It's just a temporary camp. Just avoid the wilderness and the road to the south, and let the soldiers have a place to eat and rest. It doesn't have to be too cumbersome." Looking at Gu Qingcheng's eyes that seem to know his mood at this time, Lu que reluctantly shows a smile and says to Shen Zhang.

"Nuo ~" Shen Zhang promised with both hands. It's not far from zhennanguan. As the commander of the army who has been in southern Xinjiang, he can't be more familiar with it. What Lu que means is to let him set up a camp. Naturally, there are people below to do it.

Lu Shao nods and walks into an already built camp. Gu Qingcheng takes a glance at the people and follows them.

"She is really the most suitable for him, alas ~" Yu Qinglin, a little princess in the army, sighs at this scene and looks at her friend lemiao'er who has fainted on the carriage beside her and shakes her head. From her point of view, we can have a panoramic view of the expressions of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. Naturally, she can see the silent eye contact between Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. In this world, Gu Qingcheng is the only one who knows his cousin Lu que best, and his cousin Lu que is the only one who knows Gu Qingcheng best. No one else can exist between them.

"Qingcheng's deputy commander is really the one who fits Lu Shuai best." Wu yunshang nods and looks back to zhennanguan. The tacit understanding between Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng reminds her of Zhuge Yan, who is outside zhennanguan at this time.

"Alas ~" Yu Chuxin, the princess of Tianyang, sighed with complicated eyes as she watched Lu que enter the camp. After the great war, it was the best time to win the hearts of the army. What's more, although there were huge casualties in the first World War, it was a victory, which was unprecedented in ancient times. If you change someone else to be a commander, you will surely pacify the wounded and visit the battalions. This is not only the duty of being a commander, but also the responsibility of winning people's hearts. But Lu didn't do it, which only shows that he didn't intend to do it.

At this time, Yu Chuxin suddenly thought of a sentence from his brother, "Da Qian is too small for Lu que. I hope he can be more ambitious, but it's a pity ~"

Later, the second brother, who was the emperor, didn't say it, but Yu Chuxin knew what it was. In the imperial city beside Yu Chuxin, the first Yunshu and yuxiayi, the patriarch of Jiuyao Xingzong, were worshipped. At this time, yuxiayi was indifferent to each other, but yuxiayi had a happy smile in his eyes, while Yunshu was a little complicated. However, a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time: "people like Lu que have never appeared before, and I'm afraid they won't have another one in the future."

"Lu que, are you ok?" Looking at Lu que unloading his armor, Gu Qingcheng didn't mean to avoid anything. Instead, she looked at him with a worried face.

"I'm fine. I'm the commander-in-chief, and I have to work for him." Lu que threw the expensive commander's armor on the ground and sat down on a felt mat.

"You said that, and you said it's OK. You're in a bad mood. You'd better drink some water first." Gu Qingcheng handed the water bag to Lu que.

"I'm just a little tired." Lu que took the water bag, but did not open it. He looked at the blood stains outside the water bag and said.

"Alas ~" Gu Qingcheng sighed. To tell the truth, she was also a little tired. She had been fighting for nearly a year from attacking Tianxing to the current battle of beast tide. Although blood and fire could temper her mind, she felt numb when she saw paoze's life and death again and again.

"Sister Qingcheng, do you think we should go back to the imperial capital?" Lu que was silent for a long time and suddenly said.

As long as the army entered the woods and the fire broke out in zhennanguan, the animal tide would never return to heaven. Even if there were any animals escaping from zhennanguan, there were xiyuanze legion of Yan Tuohai in the south, the Zuojun guard of yuyuanpu and leizhang in Zhongyang, and the water army of Changqing army, the animals with lost courage would never escape to xiyuanze, Danshui is their ultimate graveyard.

After several months of hard work and the success of the first World War, Lu que really feels a little tired. If his parents were not still in the imperial capital, he would even like to go back to the mountain of no return with Xiaobai, and never pay attention to the mundane affairs again.

"Your majesty and the eldest princess will not agree." Gu Qingcheng thought for a while and shook his head. "The army of Southern Xinjiang is gathering here, and the military power is in the hands of other people except you. Your majesty will not rest assured, even the king of Zhongyang and my father. Besides, there is Nanli after the animal tide. After knowing the result of the battle, I'm afraid your majesty and the eldest princess also hope that you will continue to unite your troops to go south to destroy Nanli and unify Southern Xinjiang. "

"To be perfect, to do your best?" Lu Que's face is a little complicated, and his eyes are a little distracted. He looks at the commander-in-chief armor he threw on the ground.

See Lu lack this appearance, Gu Qingcheng didn't speak again, just quietly looking at him. She knew Lu had made a choice in her heart, but she couldn't help it. At present, Lu que is the only one who can command the army in southern Xinjiang. In this respect, neither Zhongyang King nor his father can match him. As long as the results of this battle are spread to the imperial capital, then it must be the imperial edict to reward the three armies and leave the South after trimming. The emperor would not let anyone take over the military power of Lu que, and no one could take over his military power.

The account doesn't know how long it's been silent. Gu Qingcheng doesn't disturb Lu que. She knows what Lu que thinks, but she can't help it. She can only rely on Lu que to figure it out by herself. Listening to the footsteps outside the tent and the sound of the army setting up a camp for defense, the small military tent seems to have become another world.

Just then, a loud metal bugle sounded. Soon after, a low bell rang in the direction of zhennanguan. Then the ground suddenly vibrated, and a dull sound like thunder came from zhennanguan. Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng know that this is the Royal Sanwei hiding in zhennanguan. Even if they don't go out to see it, they know that the raging flames must cover the whole zhennanguan city and devour the lives of the animals escaping into Guanzhong.

Lu que slowly closed his eyes. He could feel a breath of death rising in the direction of zhennanguan. In his mind, a beast screamed in the fire and was swallowed up. So he closed his eyes involuntarily.

"Sister Qingcheng, send a message to the imperial capital. Report this battle to Ziji hall." After waiting for Lu to open his eyes, he said.
