This head-on battle between the human race and the demon race ended temporarily because both sides failed to make substantial progress. When the demon race disappeared into the desert, the various human legions also slowly retreated following Ming Jin's order.
Countless soldiers reorganized their ranks under the shouts of the officers. When Song Mu followed Du Feiying towards the camp, he saw wounded soldiers all over the ground, and also saw many soldiers who died in miserable ways.
Among them were many literati with buns tied on their heads. Each of them was covered in blood. At this moment, they were lying on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang with ferocious faces. Only the setting sun in the west reflected on their faces, which seemed to still be full of fighting spirit.
Song Mu felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, but this is the battlefield. Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return after ten years.
The survival and decline of the human race is always determined by the bodies of thousands of men with passionate blood.
Witnessing this situation, Song Mu could only clenched his palms and gritted his teeth secretly.
At that moment, Song Mu followed Du Feiying all the way to the camp. The camp located behind the attacking army was heavily guarded. Before Song Mu even stepped into it, he felt a chilling atmosphere.
Song Mu, who was keenly aware of this situation, looked around carefully and found that the guards in this camp were all powerful, and in the tall tents, there were several powerful Jinshi or above. breath.
This made Song Mu startled for no reason. He remembered what Du Feiying had just said to him, and now he seemed to know who was among them.
But Song Mu wasn't very sure yet. After catching up with Du Feiying again, Song Mu straightened his makeup and slowly walked into the tent.
Opening the thick door curtain, Song Mu finally saw clearly the people inside.
At this moment, his steps suddenly stopped, and then his expression became a little surprised involuntarily. Song Mu immediately bowed and held his hands, and said in a deep voice.
"Song Mu, I have met His Majesty."
Sitting in this tent is the real ruler of the Wen Dynasty, Li Ao, who dominates the world.
At this moment, Li Ao was wearing black armor and eating a piece of mutton in his hand. When he saw Song Mu coming in behind Du Feiying, he also had a sudden look on his face, then immediately stood up and stepped forward.
"Without courtesy, Song Aiqing, I didn't expect that I would be able to see you here."
Li Ao stepped forward to talk to Song Mu very happily. At this moment, he reached Song Mu's side and reached out to help Song Mu up.
There were many people sitting in the tent, and Luo Yan was also here at the moment. Everyone looked at each other unconsciously when they saw Li Ao's attitude towards Song Mu.
Song Mu still lowered his head and respectfully performed a military salute towards Li Ao, and said sternly at this moment.
"Song Mu is grateful for His Majesty's love, but he has nothing to repay. He can only do his meager contribution to our human race in the Western Frontier."
After hearing this, Li Ao immediately waved his hand and looked at Song Mu again with infinite emotion on his face.
"I think it's been a few years since I last saw you. Song Aiqing, your current strength has actually improved a bit."
Song Mu cupped his hands again, but Du Feiying next to him smiled and Li Ao cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, the Jinshi I rescued just now on the front line is the champion of Song Dynasty."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed across the faces of Li Ao and other generals, and Li Ao said in surprise.
"Is there such a thing? The powerful literary power that suddenly broke out on the battlefield just now was originally caused by Song Aiqing?"
Song Mu just said that he was ashamed, but Du Feiying next to him smiled and explained Song Mu's performance on the battlefield. When he found out that Song Mu actually tore the demon king apart with his own hands, he even fought against the demon king vigorously and did not fall behind. He even improvised on the battlefield in a tight situation. When he came up with a poem to challenge, everyone was even more surprised.
After a while, Li Ao looked at Song Mu's rewritten lyrics and sighed repeatedly.
"This kind of poetry is worthy of being written by the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty. It is a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation!"
"Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win fame both before and after death. I am the champion of the Song Dynasty. I am very pleased with this statement!"
Li Ao praised it and circulated the poem around the room. Everyone looked surprised when they saw the poem above. At this moment, they could see the literary talent of this prestigious Song Dynasty champion.
At that moment, Song Mu was also introduced to take a seat under the tent, and Li Ao also sat back in the main seat to discuss the situation of today's battle with everyone.
Only then did Song Mu realize how cruel this battle was. In less than half an hour of fighting, the number of human soldiers killed and wounded on this battlefield had already reached 3,000. This was only the first time they were dispatched. One-tenth of the army's strength.
The horrific casualties also represent the cruelty of this war against demons.
However, everyone quickly brought up this topic and began to discuss the arrangements for the next war. When Song Mu heard about this situation, he was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Li Ao, who said that Song Mu should also listen. .
Only then did Song Mu clearly know the whole story of this war.
Indeed, as Luo Yan Daru said before, the underlying reason is that the Qi Yao tribe is now ready to move, colluding with the demons to try to cause trouble, and may endanger several important cities in the Western Frontier.
Li Ao also took the initiative to dispatch troops to counterattack them.
Among them, the opportunity was the serious injury of the great sage of the demon clan. I heard that the great demon went to the cliff of void to look for the fragments of the sky star, but was sucked into the void from nowhere. It took a huge amount of strength to get out of it. Escape from it.
On the way, they met another great scholar from the human race. The two sides fought for a while. Although this guy escaped, the human race also knew the fact that this guy was seriously injured.
And this is also the reason why Li Ao arrived in Western Xinjiang to personally supervise the battle.
This great sage of the Qi Yao Tribe was of great significance to the Wen Dynasty.
"The strange monsters are the offspring of the original monsters who committed evil and used bloody methods to use my human race. These guys are just like the barbarians in the southern border. They can use moonlight to cultivate and cultivate literary power."
"This strange demon tribe is getting stronger and stronger under the leadership of this demon saint. It has repeatedly caused heavy damage to our human race. Every time I hear about it, I can't sleep at night."
"Besides, I think the old yak also wants to pinch this strange monster tribe, but I don't know if it will let go of the great sage."
Li Ao said this to everyone at the moment, and everyone nodded. This expedition could be said to kill two birds with one stone. It would not only force the demon saint to death, but also prevent the old yak from benefiting from it. Not only would it kill its A strange monster tribe wants its monster army to be harmed.
In this way, its combat power will be greatly damaged, and the western frontier army may be able to stabilize for a long time.
But there is another variable in this. The Qi Yao Tribe can already be regarded as the arm of the Northwest Demon Kingdom. If the old yak is reluctant to let go, then this will be just an ordinary conquest.
It's a thankless battle, and this battle will definitely not satisfy Li Ao.
The decision to make the village is that no matter what happens in the next war, the Qi Yao tribe must be severely damaged.
Song Mu also learned from here that the hundreds of Jinshi he was in were just the bottom force in the raid, responsible for cleaning up ordinary strange monsters. This raid would be led by Chang Daru, and there would be many bachelors and Hanlin followers. .
Song Mu was also shocked when he heard this plan, knowing that this was Li Ao's desperate attempt to find a way out.
At this time, several generals put forward their own ideas. Most of them said that this strange monster might have some connection with the demon clan. If some cruel methods were used, how to solve it.
Immediately, one of them looked at Song Mu and said.
"The last general remembers that Song Zhuangyuan's "Song of Righteousness" is extremely powerful. It is so awe-inspiring and righteous. I think it is most likely to make the demon clan throw a rat into a trap. Maybe..."
