In the early morning, on Zhulu Ridge, the smoke gradually subsided. After the night battle, corpses were lying everywhere, and the scene was miserable and desolate. The strong smell of blood seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld, covering up the sky and the earth. Even the dawn on the distant horizon was dyed with a layer of dark red.
Wu Gen stood on the top of the mountain, silently looking at the chaotic battlefield. The morning mist wetted his armor, and it was covered with strings of water drops. Even though he has experienced many battles, seeing such a tragic scene still makes him feel depressed.
Melees kill the most people, especially those after losing the coach. There is no order, no friend or foe, no feelings of loyalty, only the choice of life and death.
On Zhulu Ridge, there were scattered corpses everywhere, flags were hanging down, weapons were laid out, and rows of prisoners were being escorted away.
After Wu Gen forced the Ba family to defend the camp, and after Ji Jing and Yuan Xin repelled Gu Gan's troops and killed the Gu family's five-level master who assisted in the battle, the balance of victory quickly tilted towards the Northern and Southern armies.
Ji Xian's men retreated, giving up the captured camp and retreating outside Zhuolu Ridge. Ji Jing and Yuan Xin would not give up and led their troops back after chasing them for fifty miles.
"Master, we found it." Zhang Wuyang, covered in blood, walked to Wu Gen's side. Ji Xian's troops broke through the Northern Army camp last night, and he could only lead his men to retreat to the nearby hills to defend themselves. Under the critical situation, Zu Yuantong used his secret technique again, and with the timely reinforcements from Shui Congyue, the Northern Army finally got through the difficulty without any danger.
Wu Gen stood up, followed Zhang Wuyang, walked through several hills, and stopped at a mountain col. There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the place.
When they got closer, these people stepped aside from both sides, and there was a corpse inside. Lu Peng lay quietly on the ground, one arm had disappeared, and the fatal injury was an arrow on his head. Although the body was stiff, the eyes staring at the sky were not closed after all, and were covered with a layer of gray.
Wu Gen and Lu Peng had an intersection. Although there was no further friendship, last night, in the danger of losing his coach and losing control of the entire army, this man faced his own surrender and faced the temptation of life. He resolutely chose to continue the attack.
He didn't fail the Lu family, he didn't fail his young master, he only failed himself. Such people, in the eyes of some people, are stupid and do not know how to adapt. But it is the existence of such little people, who allowed the unyielding to gather dignity and allowed the majesty to penetrate the sky, so that history books have a series of heart-stirring, generous and tragic legends.
Such a person, no matter which camp he comes from, is a warrior, a true warrior.
Wu Gen knelt down, took out the wine bag on his body, poured the sake into his hand, and gently wiped the blood stains on the other person's face. After bowing his head for a long time, Wu Genfang stood up and glanced at the green mountains in the distance, "Have a good burial."
After saying that, he turned around and rushed towards the main camp of Eviscerate Mountain. He fought all the way and was soaked in the blood on the battlefield. Wu Gen only felt an evil fire all over his body and only wanted to kill people.
When they arrived at the camp, the soldiers of the Confederate Army were cleaning up the camp. The blood on the ground was gone and a new tent had been erected.
Wu Gen went straight to find Ji Jing and Yuan Xin. The three of them murmured for a long time before they split up to make preparations.
Soon, Ji Jing, Yuan Xin and Wu Gensan jointly held a military meeting, and only a few people including Ba Yueze were invited to participate.
The military meeting was held under the leadership of Ji Jing, and it was nothing more than discussing the distribution of war achievements after the war and launching a general attack on the coalition camp.
Today's coalition forces, based on battlefield inventory estimates, have less than 30,000 troops left, and most of them are dominated by the Gu family and the Cang family. The North and South Army, plus the men of the Ba family and the Murong family, already have an absolute advantage over them, and it will be a matter of time before the stronghold is broken. Everyone knows that the battle before Zhululing will not last long.
Ba Yueze's face was glowing today, and he was not tired from a night of fighting at all. Last night, he led his men to block the attack of Ji Xian's men and ensured that the defense line of Zhuolu Ridge was not lost. It can be said that he showed his face in a big way.
During the military discussion, Ji Jing and others also praised him greatly, saying that it was Po Tian's credit that prevented the two thieves from joining forces and finally won the good situation today.
Although Ba Yueze spoke modestly, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed. From time to time, he glanced at Wu Gen, who was a little dull today.
"It's just a pity that we didn't find Lu
The bodies of Lie and Bu Kuan. Yuan Xin secretly glanced at Wu Gen and suddenly sighed.
"Yes, if we capture these two thieves, the battle will be complete." Ji Jing also agreed.
While he was lamenting, someone hurried into the tent and said, "To inform you, the governor, we have found Lu Lie's body, but his face is a little blurry, so it's hard to confirm."
"Really?" Wu Gen's face was full of surprise, and he stood up suddenly, clapped his hands and laughed, "What's the difficulty? We all know Lu Lie, so we can go and check it out. If it is confirmed, the head of the leader of the alliance, That's enough military exploits to be crowned king in the new dynasty. No, I'm going to take a look."
"I'll go too." Ji Jing and Yuan Xin quickly stood up and strode outside the tent.
When Ba Yueze saw this, he followed closely. If nothing else, he divided Lu Lie's body into pieces, one for each person. That was a great achievement. How could such a good thing be given to others.
The four of them only brought a dozen soldiers with them and hurried to the place where Lu Lie was found. This place is almost out of Zhulu Ridge, but it is a hidden valley.
When they arrived at this place, soldiers were already guarding the surrounding areas, including the Southern Army and the Northern Army, but there were no men from the Ba family.
Shui Congyue was sitting on a nearby hillock, holding a pot to the sky and drinking from it. Seeing Wu Gen, Shui Congyue gave him a disgusted look, then turned around and ignored him.
Wu Gen shrank his neck and took the lead in rushing into the valley.
Ba Yueze looked around, feeling a little confused, but his desire for military success still overwhelmed everything else, so he squeezed in in front of Ji Jing and Yuan Xin.
When they entered the valley, there was a corpse on the ground. The body was covered with scars. It was unclear whether it was hit by a hammer or an ax. The face was bloody and bloody, and a large piece of it was sunken.
Wu Gen was the first to rush forward, looked at the back for a long time and hesitated: "It looks like it, but it's really hard to tell." He took a step back.
Ba Yueze rushed forward in a hurry, feeling secretly proud in his heart. You could tell it by looking at his face. When I was in the coalition army, I got along with Lu Lie for a long time, and I remember that he had a mole on the back of his neck, which could help him tell the difference.
Stepping forward and turning the body over, Ba Yueze lifted up his tangled hair and his heart sank. There was no mole on the back of his neck. Just as he was about to stand up, Ba Yueze suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. Years of fighting made him jump to the side without even thinking.
A ray of white light passed through his thigh and hit the corpse on the ground. Its head turned into blue smoke and disappeared immediately.
Under the severe pain, Ba Yueze tilted his body and turned around to see who was attacking him.
Wu Gen was holding the snake eagle and looking at him coldly. Before he could react, Yuan Xin and Ji Jing had already rushed over from the left and the right.
Ji Jing's big ax struck Ba Yueze on the chest, and Yuan Xin's iron palm was imprinted on his back. The combined blow of two people in the same situation caused Ba Yueze to be seriously injured.
However, he was a person from the fifth realm after all. Even in a desperate situation, he still raised his energy and jumped up, preparing to jump out of the valley.
There was a sound of machinery, and large nets flew down from the sky. At the same time, several white lights shot out, blocking Ba Yueze's way.
His body changed directions rapidly in the air. Ba Yueze avoided the white light and released his own potential field, preparing to fly against the big nets. A majestic killing intent rolled in. The handsome man sitting on the hill stood up. He stood up with murderous intent in his eyes.
Ba Yueze certainly recognized this person. Shui Congyue, the most powerful general of the Northern Army, had killed Qiu Linzhi. He would not dare to run into such a murderer head-on.
He was thinking about changing direction, but at the moment of hesitation, Li Xin appeared from the hill and knocked Bayueze back to the valley with one punch.
Ji Jing and Yuan Xin had already caught up, and the sharp fists and the edge of the giant ax violently knocked back his force field, hitting him hard.
Bayueze was hit hard and hit the mountain wall. The hard rocks were smashed into pieces, and half of the cliff collapsed.
Before they could react, Ji Jing and Yuan Xin were already rushing through the dust like lightning, slashing with axes and falling with fists. After several huge roars, Ba Yueze finally lost his ability to resist.
"Be careful he blows himself up." Wu Gen warned loudly, holding the snake eagle in his hand and looking coldly at the dusty place.
Yuan Xin flipped his wrist and
A delicate dagger appeared and stabbed into Ba Yueze's abdomen. Still worried, he stirred it several times, turning his abdomen into a pool of blood.
"You..." Ba Yueze, who was still breathing, pointed at Ji Jing and Yuan Xin in front of him, with a look of confusion and indignation.
A flash of white light flashed, and half of the man's head was missing. In the end, he did not say the second half of his words.
In the valley, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the majestic air currents stirred around. The sound of the wind was shrill, like someone's unwilling wailing.
Wu Gen walked out of the wind, came to the dead Ba Yueze, and said loudly: "Ba Town was trying to arrest the thieves, but unfortunately they were killed by the enemy. It is really a pity. His achievements are obvious, and his name is illustrious. Report to the young master, highlight his merits, praise his bravery, and encourage the whole army."
Ji Jing, Yuan Xin and Li Xin each looked at each other and nodded, "Second."
After the Ba family rebelled, Ba Yueze still held on to his original thinking and clung to military power. Moreover, he was rebellious, had bad conduct, and was despised by others. Now that the war is not over yet, it is the unanimous opinion of the top officials of the North and South armies to eliminate this hidden danger. Of course, Wu Gen's personal grudges are also mixed in here.
To kill Bayueze this time, in order to avoid trouble in the future, Wu Genfei had to let Ji Jing and Yuan Xin take action personally, and also brought Li Xin in, so that they would share in the trouble. Of course, Ji Ye cannot be involved in this matter. He is the young master after all, and his reputation is not good if word spreads about it.
Taking into account Ba Yueze's combat power, Wu Gen shamelessly invited Shui Congyue to ensure that nothing went wrong, and put a thousand troops here, and finally killed him here.
Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief and looked around worriedly, "These people we brought here are all reliable, right?"
Ji Jing smiled slightly, "They are all soldiers, so they are naturally reliable. So what if they are unreliable? This is a conspiracy. The person is dead and there is no evidence to prove his death. Is it possible that someone will overturn the case and redress his injustice, unless they want to go against the Ji family."
"That's right, my situation is too small." Wu Gen also laughed, "Let's go back to the young master's camp. After this battle, the coalition forces have actually been defeated, and it's time to hand over the camp."
On the way back, considering that Ji Ye was alone in the camp, Yuan Xin had returned early. He has been fighting on the southern front, so he naturally needs to have more contact with the young master Ji Ye and become familiar with him. Li Xin missed his young master and left with Yuan Xin.
Ji Jing and Wu Gen were walking side by side on the road. Ji Jing suddenly said, "Qiu Linhe's private seal is with you."
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment and looked at the other person seriously, "Not bad."
"You can't keep this thing. After the war, all private seals will probably be turned over. If you keep it on yourself, no matter what you use it for, it seems to be a sinister plot. It's just causing trouble." Ji Jing said quietly while riding on his horse.
"Those who are clean should be clean themselves." After hesitating for a moment, Wu Gen did not continue to discuss this issue.
"I hope you and I won't have the chance to fight each other in the future." Ji Jing turned to look at Wu Gen.
"hope so."
