~.< >-~ Chapter 716 of Thousand Years of Qi Control One Hundred Thousand Corpse Soldiers
When people encounter something, they will internally consider whether what they pay for it is proportional to what they get. ¨^·ÉÖÐ%ÎÄ?^Íø This is what I am thinking about now. Ye Aofeng used 30% of his spiritual energy to cast spells to make his dead soldiers fight again. Why did he pay such a huge price?
This doubt was soon solved by the reversal of the situation below. The corpses that Ye Aofeng had used the soul-sealing spell were not only fearless of death but also extremely powerful. The most important thing was that they were difficult to kill. Heavy armored soldiers The weapons used mainly used stabbing as an attack method, but those soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were already dead. Unless their heads were chopped off, inserting a few holes would not be enough to make them incapacitated. This would make them incapacitated. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were greatly frightened. After several rounds, they no longer fought with them, but scattered to avoid them. Those soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty who had retreated to a safe area did not turn around and besiege the Northern Zhou heavy armies together with the dead. Instead, they quietly formed their troops and stabilized their positions in areas where there was no snow.
At this moment, I finally understood Ye Aofeng's intention. He had two purposes. One was to save the main force of Northern Qi. The second is to use these dead bodies to compete with us in spells.
These corpses only have the thought of killing and have no ability to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They slaughter each other based on Yang Qi, which means that after killing all our heavy armor soldiers, they will still look for targets to kill. By then, the Buddhist reinforcements from Northern Qi will Then we can rush over and stop the dead bodies from moving into the territory of Qi. In this way, these hard-to-kill monsters will flood into our territory of Northern Zhou Dynasty, and no people and animals that can emit Yang energy will be left behind wherever they go. .
This is an insidious method that will have extremely serious consequences. It is difficult for me to accurately count the number of Northern Qi soldiers who were cast by Ye Aofeng, but it is roughly estimated that there are more than 100,000. These 100,000 dead bodies that have no pain but are fighting are enough to make our side The soldiers retreated in fear. The only thing that can stop this at the moment is for me to search out the ghosts sealed in the dead bodies by Ye Aofeng. However, this will also consume 30% of my spiritual energy. The Yin Jade Bone Fan can only carry the sealed ghosts, but cannot actively absorb them. , to say the least, even if it could absorb the ghosts, I would not use it. To say the least, even if I could use it, I would not be able to use it to absorb the ghosts, because those ghosts were sealed in the corpse by Ye Aofeng's spiritual energy. If they were not chopped off, I can only use the Soul Searching Technique to destroy the aura that seals the ghosts in order to find and seal the ghosts. In the final analysis, if I want to stop the spread of the ghosts, I must waste 30% of the spiritual energy like him.
Ye Aofeng was sure that I would not let these corpses kill the heavy armor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and then invade the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he dared to use 30% of the spiritual energy to save his troops in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He expected that I would use 30% of the spiritual energy like him, but This time his calculation was wrong. I can't use it. I would rather sacrifice these heavy armor troops than waste my spiritual energy. The fighting on the battlefield is a game for the generals of both sides. All the soldiers are chess pieces. What you give up must be given up, provided that what you give up is valuable.
The fighting on the battlefield is still going on. Our heavy armored troops are already at a disadvantage. A large number of soldiers were stabbed to death by the corpses of Northern Qi. Even so, I still did not take any measures to rescue them.
"Why delay?" Xu Shuangyi couldn't help but asked rhetorically. The reason why she asked was not to urge me to rescue, but to ask me the reason for delaying.
"What will be the consequences if all the soldiers on both sides are killed?" I turned to look at Xu Shuangyi.
"Both sides suffer, neither has an advantage." Xu Shuangyi pondered for a moment and said.
¡°It¡¯s true that both sides suffer, but one party gains.¡± I shook my head and said.
"Who?" Xu Shuangyi didn't know what I was thinking at this time.
"The common people of Li can be saved from death and military disasters, and can be freed from heavy taxes and corvee service." I spoke seriously. If all the soldiers on both sides are dead, there will be no large-scale enemy troops entering the country. The people can avoid being exposed to war and can also reduce the large amount of taxes caused by supporting a large number of soldiers.
"After all the soldiers are dead, we can recruit them again." Xu Shuangyi frowned and said.
"Both countries are unable to recruit soldiers again." I shook my head and said. These two million troops have been recruited by Northern Zhou and Northern Qi by killing chickens and harvesting eggs. After the death of these soldiers, neither country will recruit more troops. If they continue to recruit, they will become the Women's Army.
Xu Shuangyi nodded silently when she heard this. Judging from her expression, she did not agree with me using this method of exhausting all the light. The reason why she had this idea was because there were many fifteen or sixteen-year-old children in the Qi Army camp. The death of these children touches the innate maternal nature of women. I can only pretend not to be aware of this. I once served in the modern army. The principle of our army is that as long as there is no weapon, people are not killed. As long as they pick up weapons, they will shoot and kill regardless of whether they are children or women. This is The principles were learned from the battlefields of Vietnam,??If you don't kill him, he will kill you. There is no mercy on the battlefield. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
While the two were talking, Zheng Zheng from behind came with his troops. This is our third line of defense, and it has now been transferred.
"The Taoist people, the barbarian tribesmen and the archers will stay, and the rest of the troops will attack in order to completely annihilate the enemy." I showed up to see the tiger talisman and then issued the order in a deep voice. The third line of defense was mainly composed of cavalry. The terrain here It is not suitable for cavalry, but they must be sent out anyway, because cavalry have long knives, and the long knives can chop off the heads of dead corpses to make them unable to move.
Hearing the words solemnly, he turned to look at me, and then issued an order to the troops. Although he didn't say anything, he already understood my intention. Without Taoist people and strange beasts to help me, it was obvious that I was going to die with the enemy.
Heavy armor can defeat cavalry, but those corpses don¡¯t know how to line up spear formations and stab the horses¡¯ bellies. Therefore, the addition of cavalry quickly suppressed the ragtag group of corpses in Northern Qi, and the two sides fell into a long stalemate.
"Sir, there are a large number of purple-qi monks on the other side rushing here. I am familiar with the art of Wenfeng. According to what I have seen, there should be five hundred." An earthly immortal next to him said.
I nodded silently without speaking, and turned to use the Yin Jade Bone Fan to absorb the ghosts whose souls had been separated from their bodies due to their heads being chopped off. Large-scale wars are not measured in hours. According to the current situation, the war will not be over when the Buddhist monks arrive. This is why I left the archers. Unless the monks reach the realm of immortals, they will still be in trouble. Will be afraid of long-range offensive weapons such as bows and arrows.
Today¡¯s war will be considered a win as long as I achieve two goals. First, kill all the opponent¡¯s soldiers. Before that, I retained 200,000 crossbowmen, which is my follow-up force. Second, be sure to retain these three costs of aura.
"Clan Chief Xu, order the men of the Huang clan to lead the beasts to retreat a hundred miles." I spoke to Xu Shuangyi, who was paying close attention to the war situation. These Huang men and beasts are also reserve forces and must be retained.
Hearing this, Xu Shuangyi immediately issued an order to his tribe, and the men of the Huang tribe began to retreat with their respective mounts and the large exotic beasts brought from the wilderness.
"My dear, the capital of Northern Qi must be completely empty at this time. I am willing to go alone to take the life of the demon dragon." At this moment, another Earth Immortal spoke. He wanted to make a sneak attack while the Purple Qi monks and Earth Immortals from Northern Qi came to support the battlefield.
"The demon dragon was also born to respond to the stars. Killing it rashly while the dragon's energy is still alive is against the will of heaven. Besides, there are immortals waiting there, so don't go there rashly." I shook my head and said. There is no aura of Ma Lingfeng among the group of monks who came to support. It is possible that he has hidden his aura and I can't tell. However, this possibility is unlikely. The most likely thing is that he is doing the same thing as Wu Qingzhu at the moment. Work.
"What a great insight." The Earth Immortal nodded and spoke.
The stalemate state of war lasted for an hour. After Ye Aofeng's previous spell summoned all the dead bodies, the Northern Zhou soldiers and horses began to rush towards the Northern Qi enemy troops who had lined up for battle. At this time, there were still thirty soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Tens of thousands, and the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were also comparable. The 100,000 corpse soldiers summoned by Ye Aofeng's method killed 300,000 of our soldiers. Now our soldiers are very tired, and the local soldiers are extremely hungry, and no one can take advantage of them. Anything cheap.
"Follow the formation a hundred steps." I gave the order to the Taoists, Huang women, and two thousand archers around me. The previous retreat of the Huang tribe men to drive out the few remaining alien beasts has affected the morale of our soldiers. Those of us in the Taoist sect must follow the troops forward. Only in this way can morale be boosted and the morale of the army be stabilized.
After hearing the words, everyone immediately started to follow. At this time, I appeared and stood in the air. I used the Yin Jade Bone Fan to absorb the ghosts while paying close attention to the situation below. I want all the fighting soldiers to see me. I am Their backbone. They will never know that I exchanged 30% of my spiritual energy for the lives of 300,000 of my own soldiers.
There were also archers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but there were only two thousand. In ancient times, there were clear regulations and strict restrictions on the use of archers. It is similar to the management of the Second Artillery Missile Force in modern society. Ordinary troops are equipped with only a few archers. If If necessary, you can ask the emperor to mobilize a large number of them. The reason why this happens is because the bows and arrows used by the archers have a relatively long range. If they follow the crowd and rebel, they can easily kill a large number of imperial city guards.
These Northern Zhou archers were very physically strong and had super strong arms. They could shoot long arrows two to three hundred meters with their bent arms. This was a terrifying concept in ancient times. However, the archers also have a big flaw, that is, they can only shoot twelve times in a row when using the bow at full strength. If they exceed this number, their arm strength will decrease, and they can only use short feather arrows. This kind of short arrows can shoot more than a hundred meters. Therefore, each archer carries two quivers on his back, one with long arrows and the other with short feathers, each with twelve quivers.
At this time, Ye Aofeng has also appeared in the sky above Qi Bing. Because the distance is too far, I can't see his face clearly, but I think his face will definitely not look good now. He would not have thought that I would use the lives of 300,000 soldiers to save spiritual energy. In his opinion, I would definitely cast a spell to save our soldiers. In fact, I did not. He may understand my nature very well, but he will not understand a The psychology of special forces who have received formal training
