The Central Army of Western Chu is under the commander's flag.
Marshal Liu Rui on the right looked gloomy when he saw the 60,000 cavalry defeated.
Although the people of the Western Chu Kingdom were strong and their young men could be considered qualified soldiers, their population was far different from the huge population base of the Wei Dynasty. They had already lost 80,000 soldiers.
Even he, the right marshal, would be reprimanded by Emperor Chu for this, or even demoted!
The thoughts in his mind quickly turned. Although he still had an army of more than 200,000 in his hands, if he swarmed forward, he might have a chance to annihilate this elite force of 10,000 people, but it would definitely result in heavy losses to the army, which was not worth it.
The key is that no one can resist King Jing, a powerful man with a golden elixir level.
Therefore, he left a group of troops behind and retreated.
Chu He led the Yan Yang Guard to pursue him, and Jiang Yunlong also led 20,000 troops out of the city to pursue him.
A quarter of an hour later, more than half of the 10,000-strong Xi Chu army in the rear were killed by Chuhe. A small part surrendered and some fled.
At this time, Chu He said to Jiang Yunlong and Fang Yan: "Clean the battlefield and collect all the dead soldiers and enemy corpses."
The two said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Immediately, Chu He checked the attribute table. The experience value increased by 655,000 to 6.5345 million, and the soul fragments increased by 75 to 98.
Although the gold content of these soul fragments is not high, the quantity is quite large, and some can be left as materials for synthesizing soul crystals.
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up, armor, weapons, horses and other trophies had been collected, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers had been piled up.
As for Yanyang Guard, only three people were lost, and the losses were minimal.
At this time, Chu He activated his magical power, and the cyan divine light began to sink into the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle, and then the ghosts whose karma and obsession had been transformed flew out of their bodies one by one.
As the dark wind swept across, each pure ghost disappeared without a trace, and should have entered a reincarnation place similar to the underworld of the Republic of China.
A quarter of an hour later, all the ghosts of the warriors were converted.
At this time, the system prompt sounded: "Congratulations to the player, you have converted 41236 ghosts and gained 412360 merit points."
One point of merit is equivalent to 100 points of experience. So many merit points are equivalent to more than 41 million experience points.
A wave of fat!
A smile appeared on Chu He's face, but he did not convert the merit points into experience points to improve his cultivation.
Because merit points are rarer than experience points, if there is a chance, he is still prepared to use his merit points to get a god-given priesthood as an auxiliary profession to understand the laws of heaven and earth.
After reaching the golden elixir stage, the magic power is good, but it is extremely difficult to understand the laws!
Immediately, Chuhe asked people to burn the enemy's corpses. As for the corpses of his own troops, they naturally took them back.
Half an hour later, inside the city, there was the city lord's mansion.
Chu He and Jiang Mingyang, Jiang Yunlong, Fang Yan and other generals gathered together.
Jiang Mingyang said: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing, what are you going to do with these trophies?"
Chu He said: "Part of the reward will be given to the meritorious soldiers, and part will be sold to reward the army. If the general likes it, I am willing to sell it to the general at 70% of the price!"
Hearing this, Jiang Mingyang pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's reproach for doing this?"
After all, under normal circumstances, most of the loot will eventually be handed over to the court.
Chu He smiled and said: "If there are no generous rewards and pensions, how can we unite the morale of the army and create an indestructible military soul?"
Jiang Mingyang heard this and said, "In that case, I want a batch of these war horses."
The Western Chu army had mostly cavalry, so Chuhe also captured a large number of war horses, many of which were excellent war horses with good endurance, speed, and heavy load.
When Chu He heard this, a smile appeared on his lips. Nearly 40,000 war horses were captured in this battle. In addition to leaving a batch of fine war horses for the Yanyang Guards to replace and another batch for the Wei Emperor, the other war horses can be sold.
War horses are very expensive and scarce. It is even more expensive to sell them to the south, and they can also be exchanged for a large amount of food from the south, a land of plenty.
Not only can it be used to reward the army, but it can also completely solve the food shortage crisis in Chengzhou.
…
In the afternoon, there was a martial arts performance at the Western Chu border army camp.
Liu Rui was practicing his sword skills, and his sword was powerful, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy.
After a moment, he suddenly slashed out with his sword, and a terrifying silver sword energy struck the ground, creating a deep crack.
At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to vent some of his depression.
At this time, Song Yue came over, clasped his fists and said, "Monk Liaochen from the Great Buddha Temple is asking to see you at the gate of the camp!"
When Liu Rui heard this, he looked happy and hurriedly went out to greet him.
Liu Rui and Song Yue arrived at the gate of the camp and saw a fifty-year-old monk wearing red and yellow cassocks and holding a golden Zen staff standing at the door.
Liu Rui saluted with a respectful expression: "Liu Rui has met the Chen Shen Monk!"
Song Yue next to him also saluted.
Monk Liao Chen said calmly: "Marshal, there is no need to be polite. As long as King Jing of Wei dares to invade the army again, the poor monk will definitely capture him and bring him back to the temple, where he will retreat to meditate on Buddhism and eliminate his hostility!"
Liu Rui looked overjoyed when he heard this and decided to send troops again.
In the evening, the sunset is like blood.
Chu He, Jiang Mingyang, and Jiang Yunlong stood on the city wall of Huxiao Pass, looking down at the approaching Western Chu army in the distance. Soldiers in silver-white armor were densely packed with people.
Jiang Mingyang said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness Prince Jing, now that the Western Chu army has made a comeback, I'm afraid it has the support of the sacred monks from the Great Buddha Temple."
Chu He had already explored the information about Xi Chu and knew that there were three sacred monks who had cultivated relics in the Great Buddha Temple.
The realm of Buddhist practice is different from that of Taoist practitioners, but generally the relics are equal to the golden elixir, and the golden body is equal to the Nascent Soul.
But with his current strength, he is no longer able to defeat ordinary divine monks. If there are more than two enemies coming, he still has two dragon energy treasures as his trump cards.
Therefore, he said calmly: "General Jiang, don't worry, leave the sacred monks of the Great Buddha Temple to me!"
After a while, the Western Chu army attacked again.
This time Chuhe did not take action, but left it to Jiang Mingyang, Jiang Yunlong and his son to defend the city.
He stared at a middle-aged silver-armored general under the command of the Central Military Commander of Western Chu in the distance. He suddenly drew his sword, and the sword's intention began to gather.
At this time, Marshal Liu Rui of the Western Chu Kingdom suddenly became sweaty. As if he sensed a fatal crisis, he couldn't help shouting: "Holy Monk, save me!"
When the monk Liao Chen heard the words, his mind suddenly moved, and a golden Buddha light emerged from the surface of his body, quickly condensing a golden shield and covering Liu Rui.
The next moment, an extremely cold sword intent shot through the air and slashed towards Liu Rui's sea of consciousness, but was blocked by the golden shield.
The sword's intention cut through the golden shield, but its power was greatly reduced, and it was wiped out by the dust monk.
Immediately, the figure of Divine Monk Liaochen flashed and appeared in the sky. The golden Zen staff suddenly flew out from his hand, turned into a golden dragon, and flew towards Jiang Mingyang.
Chu He wants to kill Liu Rui, so he wants to kill Jiang Mingyang. This style of blood for blood, tooth for tooth, does not seem to match Buddhism at all, but it is the true style of Buddhism in Western Chu today.
When Chu He saw this, a third-level high-grade Ziyang Flying Sword appeared in his hand. The power of the military soul of the blazing sun attribute was injected into the flying sword. He suddenly slashed with the sword, and the red sword energy turned into a red bird composed of flames and rushed out. .
