The first thousand one hundred and eighty chapters lead the gopher
In the large wasteland on the border between Guanlong and Tuyuhun, the Tuyuhun army, which had previously forced the northern tribes to surrender during the Guanlong War, had split into many branches and were running away with pigs and wolves.
In fact, in the Battle of Guanlong, the most important reason why this army of Achaizhun was unable to reach Tianwuchuan was that the number of troops of Achaizhun's army far exceeded that of the northern remnants, and there were several powerful cultivators arranged by Hebayue in their army at that time.
When the Southern Dynasties border troops ruled by Chen Baxian arrived in Guanlong with the assistance of the Northern Wei emperor, this Tuyuhun army had no advantage in number, and their commander A Chaizhun didn't know where to go. As for the powerful cultivators arranged by Hebayue, they had been killed by Chen Baxian, Zhen Fuxing and others, the fate of this Tuyuhun army was actually already destined.
The only possibility that they would not be defeated in a short period of time was A Chaizhun's private army equipped with a large number of excellent weapons.
But after Xia Baying's army appeared, the advantages of this private army quickly disappeared.
Strictly speaking, the ordnances equipped by Achaizhun's private army are probably really beyond all elite troops, but the number of firearms in Xiabaying's army occupies an overwhelming advantage. The most important thing is that many of Xiabaying's army are flying in the sky.
After a large number of Xiaba soldiers riding on the Flame Pagoda carried out the first round of intensive firearm attacks on the private army, Achaizhun's private army began to be defeated directly.
They were enough to defeat the enemy troops who attacked several times on the ground, but they were at a loss for such attacks from heaven.
The frontal battle ended faster than the battle outside Tianwuchuan. At least half of the Tuyuhun soldiers chose to surrender directly. Only a small number of the troops wanted to escape back to Dangxiang. If it weren't for the complex frozen deserts and hilly areas in Guanlong and Tuyuhun, there were many valleys to hide. These Tuyuhun's troops were very good at escaping on this terrain, otherwise it would have been Xia Baying's army who could have completely blocked them in the encirclement.
Achaizhun had an alliance with Xia Baying before, because he valued the firearms of the Xia Ba people. His private army also used an astonishing number of firearms in the battle. Therefore, this battle that lasted for a short time was the first time that a large number of firearms had been used in a large-scale war.
In the dark night, burning fires were everywhere in the hundreds of miles of wastelands on the border between Guanlong and Tuyuhun.
Near the area where Shabaying's army defeated Achaizhun's private army, in a canyon in the middle of the two hills, the blazing flames were always burning, like a volcano that was constantly erupting.
The bodies of soldiers and practitioners who died in this battle, whether in Tuyuhun, the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties, the Xia coalition forces were all transported here and then incinerated.
In the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was no such custom of cremation. Even if the army went on a war and died in a large army outside, even if they were unable to send the bodies of the dead back to their hometowns for a while, they would generally choose to bury them on the spot. When they had the ability in the future, they would send troops to clean up the remains and then send them back to their hometowns.
This is not only respect, but also a way of thanking and commemorating them in the world, and it also makes all living people remember the peace that these soldiers have exchanged for their lives.
At this time, the bodies of the dead were naturally difficult for many people to understand. Especially when they heard that the troops in the Tianwuchuan area also received orders, the bodies of the soldiers and practitioners who died in the battle of Tianwuchuan also began to be burned on the spot, many generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty couldn't help but become angry.
"Who gave the order!"
Several generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to this valley where the flames were always burning. They and the nearly a thousand soldiers following them stopped the convoy transporting bodies towards the valley.
"I know that the roadside troops have reached their limits, and even the transportation of food and grass is a bit unsustainable. I also know that a large number of corpses rot in early spring, and it is easy to have a plague outbreak, but do we have to make such a choice?"
"Even if we can't send the bodies of the sacred soldiers here and Tianwuchuan back to their hometown, even if they buried their bodies deep, it would be better than if they were crushed and ashes!"
A general even pulled out a long sword full of gaps. He inserted the sword into the ground in front of him, his eyes full of blood.
If someone forcibly breaks in at this time, he will really be able to cut his sword.
"It's my order."
At this moment, a sound rang out from the hillside not far away.
The general had not heard who this sounded, but among the crowd around him, someone had already heard who this person was.
"Master!"
As the tide sounded, all the Northern Wei people present knelt down and saluted to the person walking on the hillside.
The Northern Wei emperor walked to the general. He looked at the general who was kneeling on the ground, but his eyes were full of grief, and said slowly: "The Lord of the Demon Sect was defeated by Hebayue in Shangqiu."
The general's breathing came to a sudden silence around the valley.
Almost all the Northern Wei people were shocked by this news, and they did not quite understand why the Northern Wei emperor used the title "Master of the Demon Sect" to call the Demon Sect.
Although before the Demon Sect rebelled from the Northern Wei Dynasty, almost all the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty called the Demon Sect like "Master of the Demon Sect" to express their respect for him, after the Demon Sect became the biggest traitor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, few people in the Northern Wei Dynasty used such a title to call him, let alone the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The general was a little confused.
"The Demon Sect was controlled by these descendants of the You Emperor before, but in the battle in Shangqiu, he chose to fight for the world." The Northern Wei emperor's voice rang out incredibly clearly, "Tonight, he has left the world."
A heavy breathing sounded, followed by absolute silence.
Everyone in the field was shocked, and even felt a little unbelievable... They could not believe that the Demon Sect, which had influenced the Northern Wei Dynasty for many years, had passed away.
"According to the military information conveyed from Shangqiu, the blood box of destiny fell into Hebayue's hands. Hebayue could swallow the vitality of these dead people and become stronger. In order to defeat him, we had to burn all their bodies." The Emperor of Northern Wei looked at the general, and then he looked up at everyone in his sight and said slowly and calmly: "From today, all the people who died in the Northern Wei Dynasty... are burned with fire. If I die in the battle, I will not be buried. From now on, as long as I am in the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty is still there, all the people who die in the battle will burn with fire. They will fight bravely to kill the enemy before their deaths, and they will burn with fire behind them without fear. This is the pride of our Northern Wei."
...
“Is it really useful?”
Chen Baxian was on the hillside where the Northern Wei emperor was before. He looked at the sad but proud Northern Wei people. He couldn't help but turn around and asked at Bai Yuelu.
In this regard, the Southern Dynasties were more etiquette and more concerned about being buried. In a sense, this practice of incineration of bodies was contrary to his usual cognition, especially the incineration of bodies that had to be burned in front of him, especially in the future, the entire north would do this. Even if it was not in the Southern Dynasties, he felt a little unacceptable.
"In some of our classics, there are related records."
Bai Yuelu did not answer him because Zhen Fuxing's voice had already sounded at this time. She glanced at Chen Ba first, and then looked to the back of the valley, "But they are more certain and useful than us. This is their suggestion and request."
Chen Baxian was slightly stunned. He followed Zhen Fuxing's gaze and saw dozens of monks who could even be described as ragged clothes.
He knew that those were ascetic monks from Mobei.
These ascetic monks in Mobei seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the ground, all chanting scriptures in one direction.
The extremely pious spiritual belief is easily respectable, and his face becomes solemn involuntarily.
These ascetic monks are saying goodbye to the Demon Sect who has left the world.
Their faces were extremely calm, but if they were said to be sad, then tonight, they should be the saddest group of people in the whole world for the departure of the Demon Sect.
These monks are not old. According to what Zhen Fuxing said to him before, the most elderly people among the ascetic monks have died outside Tianwuchuan.
At this time, there were not many Tantric ascetic monks in Mobei except for the dozens of people.
"They have a certain record, and they have always followed the Demon Sect... The moment everyone dies, they will immediately release some vitality, but even a long time after death, they will continue to release some vitality that can be absorbed by the Destiny Blood Box. Even if it is already very thin, as many people die, people like Hebayue who have entered the realm of cultivation can continue to absorb death energy and turn them into their true energy."
Zhen Fuxing looked at Chen Baxian and continued, "But they are sure that the flames in the world can dispel darkness, purify these vitality, and allow these dead people to completely return to heaven and earth."
At this moment, a young monk walked out of the group of monks, walked over, walked to Zhen Fuxing and Bai Yuelu, bowed to them, and then said many words.
"What did he say?"
This monk used their Mobei language, and Chen Baxian could not understand him. He just felt that the young monk should have said something extremely important, because it can be seen from the changes in the expressions of Bai Yuelu and Zhen Fuxing.
"He said that this kind of land of death, especially the fresh land of death, is like a treasure land of cultivation full of spiritual energy. Hebayue will definitely be attracted by this kind of new and dead energy. Our current practice can make him discover that there is not much energy to use here when he arrives, and let him lose everything. But according to their view, Hebayue... Hebayue is too enduring. If there is enough reaction time in the future, he will definitely hide, even if he slowly improves his strength, he must
He accumulated his true energy to an extremely powerful level. He thought that it would be possible to take action again and suddenly deal with a practitioner who is extremely important to the world." This time, the answer to Chen Baxian was Bai Yuelu. Bai Yuelu pondered and said slowly: "They think we should not give him time to grow like this. They want to attract Hebayue and lead him to somewhere. Before he is not so powerful, they try to kill him. They decided to try to use the means of attracting gophers to help us do this."
"What is the method of attracting gophers?" Chen Baxian also agreed with the ascetics in his heart, but he didn't know what is the method of attracting gophers.
"The gophers in the desert in Mobei are not the same as yours in the Southern Dynasties. There are few creatures in the desert in Mobei. The weaker the creatures, the more difficult it is to survive. Therefore, the gophers in Mobei have many natural enemies. For a long time, the gophers in Mobei have become particularly cautious and careful. However, for some herders in Mobei, these gophers are an indispensable source of food for them." Bai Yuelu looked at him and explained seriously: "For thousands of years, they have also had the means to hunt this gophers. They will place a piece of delicious food for these gophers not far from the caves of these gophers at any time. These gophers will gradually move to the area they hunt with these foods."
Chen Baxian's face was slightly pale. He was not a stupid person, so he instantly understood the thoughts of those ascetic monks.
First, try to make Hebayue lose his life and make Hebayue more eager to replenish his strength. Then they will use themselves as bait to lead Hebayue to a certain place step by step.
"We want to choose a place."
