Chapter 605: Undercurrent
The waves of the river roared south, like the bloody remnant sun reflecting the surging river water so that the golden snake danced, and the river wind sent a strong smell of blood.
On the swampy wasteland on the east side of the Longjiang River, the armies of the two clans are fighting fiercely, magic weapons are flying all over the sky, and the light of gorgeous spells has fallen on each other's formations, constantly harvesting lives. Hoarse cries of killing, wails of pain, outbursts of rage...... Resounding for hundreds of miles.
War is incomparably cruel, and the glory of the victors is piled up with life and baptized with blood!
Fresh lives are falling every second, with severed limbs and broken arms, and corpses all over the field!
Tao Feifei's face was cold, and the flag in her hand waved forward, but a small action was like a blow to the waves.
"Kill!" "Kill!" the 20,000 horses of the Chinese army of the Anti-Demon Rebellion Alliance roared forward and rushed forward, killing the demon army on the opposite side.
Tao Feifei handed the flag to her left hand and waved it twice, and the left wing army of the Anti-Demon Alliance Army slowly retreated, and then rushed back.
Blood soaked the barren grass along the riverside, the fertile black soil turned red, the swamp was so red that it made people's hearts palpitate at a glance, and mutilated corpses lay silently on the grass. There is no doubt that the banks of the Longjiang River in the coming year will be fertile with grass and fish fertilizer and lush green trees, but it is destined that many people will not see it. Poor and uncertain riverside bones, still a person in a deep dream?
Doodle......
A low horn sounded, and the demon army retreated to the west bank of the Longjiang River like a tide, in an orderly manner, and soon withdrew completely, leaving only the corpses all over the mountains.
The demon army retreated, but the faces of the anti-demon alliance army and the Eight Desolation Army were not excited, and everyone was exhausted from the bloody battle in the past few days, and the shadow of death was like the sunset piled up on the edge of the city, which overlapped and pressed on everyone's hearts.
Three days ago, the demon army began to cross the river to launch a decisive battle, and every day it was fought from the rising sun to the evening. The Anti-Demon Alliance Army and the Eight Desolations Army rose up to fight, and their morale was high at the beginning, but after days of fighting, the attrition was very powerful, and every day they watched their comrades die in battle, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, morale was low, and no one knew if they could see the rising sun tomorrow.
The demon army was blocked back today, but what about tomorrow?
The armies of both sides withdrew to the camp, and only the aftermath team was left to treat the wounded on the battlefield, and they all had a tacit understanding not to attack each other, and even if they passed by, they only glared at each other with hatred.
The demon army only treats the wounded companions, they will not accept the dead corpses, they feed on the essence of the sun and the moon and the grass and trees, they see death as a return to nature, and dying on the battlefield is more of an honor, the corpse of the warrior should expose him to the rain, dew and sun, and become the fertile nourishment of the grass and trees.
The human race is different, the glory returns to the hometown, the fallen leaves return to the root is the complex of the human race, and it is a kind of glory to die on the battlefield, but it is also a kind of glory to be wrapped in a vest, and it is a shame to let the comrades in the wilderness be unkind, so the corpse must be collected and buried.
"Phew, these dog-day demon clans, along with the corpses of the robes, are really fucking crazy!" The two anti-demon alliance soldiers lifted the corpse of the Eight Desolation Army, and next to them was a demon army that had rotted and smelled, apparently killed in battle two days ago.
"Savage and unreasonable race, how can our human race let them rule, we must drive these dogs back to the demon world!"
"Save some effort, sooner or later we will become one of the bodies lying here, I hope that someone will still collect the corpses for us at that time, and it is none of our business to drive the demon clan back to the demon world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was gloomy and silently lifted the corpse of their comrade.
"Vice Admiral Peach!"
"Vice Admiral Peach!"
I don't know when, the armored Tao Feifei actually stood behind him, the two anti-demon alliance soldiers hurriedly put down the corpse, solemnly saluted and greeted, and felt apprehensive, what he said just now could be regarded as shaking the heart of the army, even if Tao Feifei killed them on the spot, it would not be too much.
Peach Concubine Fei was originally born as delicate as a peach blossom in March, but after graduating from the War General Academy, she was a little more heroic, and she was even more heroic and awe-inspiring after wearing armor.
"Let's go!" Tao Feifei waved her hand lightly.
The two anti-demon alliance soldiers suddenly took the amnesty, lifted the corpses of their comrades and retreated, and they were glad in their hearts, Peach Concubine Fei was very strict in governing the army, but she didn't expect to open up to the two of them today.
When Ding Qing left that day, she handed over the command of the Anti-Demon Alliance Army to Tao Feifei, she was a yellow-haired girl who had just come out of the Nine Battles Academy, naturally many people disagreed with her, but Tao Feifei slaughtered more than a dozen people with iron-blooded means, and everyone was immediately more obedient.
Concubine Tao flew around and returned to the camp, but she was worried, the morale of the coalition army was low, the situation was not optimistic, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Longjiang defense line will collapse, and Ding Qing and Chu Jun have not returned for half a year when they went west, and they have not even sent back any information, which is really worrying.
"See Vice Admiral Momo!"
"See Vice Admiral Momo!"
Concubine Tao flew back to the camp gate, and the two guards hurriedly stood and saluted.
Now Tao Feifei's prestige in the alliance army is second only to Ding Qing, because in the past six months, the anti-demon alliance army has really fought a lot of tough battles under the leadership of Tao Feifei. At first, everyone was not convinced by her, after all, she was a young woman, although later Tao Feifei suppressed more than a dozen people with iron-blooded means, but everyone was only unconvinced, but when Tao Feifei showed her true ability to lead the troops to fight, the people below gradually recognized her.
Tao Feifei nodded and asked, "Did Vice General Du come back?"
"Waiting in the tent!"
Tao Feifei walked into the tent and saw that Du Ruhai and the other two lieutenants were already in the tent, and Elder Tan, Lu Buping, Wei Zheng and others were also there.
Tao Feifei couldn't help frowning, she didn't like Elder Tan and his gang, because these people wouldn't do anything other than intrigue and seize power, if it weren't for the fact that they were elders of the Anti-Demon Alliance, Tao Feifei wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them.
At the beginning, Tan Yeshan also co-opted other elders to put Peach Concubine Fei in the air, and later the demon army launched a large-scale attack, these people can play conspiracy, but they can't lead troops to fight, so they have to refer to the military command and return it to Peach Feifei.
"Vice General Tao is worthy of being the elite from the Nine Battles Academy, and today he repelled the fierce attack of the demon army!" Lu Buping complimented with a smile.
Tao Feifei glanced at him lightly and asked Du Ruhai, "Have the casualties been counted?"
Lu Buping ate a cold nail, the old face suddenly froze, and he was secretly angry in his heart: "Slut, drag a fart, wait for Ding Qing to die, see how the old man tortures you!"
"More than 6,570 people died, and more than 10,000 were injured!" Du Ruhai said in a deep voice.
In the past few days, the attack of the demon army has been very fierce, and the casualties of the anti-demon alliance army are very heavy, nearly 20,000 people have been killed and injured in just three days, and the number of the anti-demon alliance army is only less than 80,000, and nearly a quarter of the troops have been reduced in three major battles, the situation is very grim, and it seems that the offensive of the demon army will be strengthened again.
"How is the situation between the Bingyun Army and the Eight Desolation Army?" asked Tao Feifei with an unchanged expression, as a general, she had learned to be indistinguishable from joy and anger.
"The losses of the Eight Desolation Army are also very heavy, but the attack on the Bingyun Army's side is very weak!" Si Nan interjected.
Si Nan is one of the other two lieutenant generals, and he is also a black iron general who graduated from the Nine Battles Academy.
Du Ruhai said angrily: "The demon army is obviously feint to attack the Bingyun army, and then concentrate its military strength to attack our anti-demon alliance army and the Eight Desolation Army, I don't believe that the Bingyun King can't even see this, he is still cowering in Longjiang City, doesn't he know that if we are defeated, then his 200,000 Bingyun army will also be finished!"
Peach Concubine Fei snorted disdainfully: "Ximen Yu is now a frightened bird, he can't afford to lose, so he cares about keeping his old books, if he adopted the advice of the Lord of the Ding League, and took the initiative to attack while the demon army has not yet gained a firm foothold, how can it be today's situation!"
Si Nan and the others all nodded in agreement!
Tan Yeshan and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, although they didn't understand military affairs, they could still tell what the situation was, it seemed that the situation was not good!
"Since King Bingyun himself is not angry, why should we fight the demon army here and simply withdraw to the Eight Desolate Continents!" Wei Zhengdao.
Du Runan and the others couldn't help but glance at Wei Zheng with disdain, sure enough, it was a layman who spoke layman's words, now in this confrontation situation, how can you say that you can retreat, and the movement of tens of thousands of troops is not as mobile and flexible as a small force, once it retreats, the demon army will definitely bite its tail and catch up, and if it doesn't retreat, it will become a defeat, and at that time it will be really defeated.
Wei Zheng saw everyone's eyes, his face was a little unbearable, and he said coldly: "Isn't what Elder Ben said wrong?"
"Elder Wei, marching and fighting is not a brawl and vendetta, if you can't win, you can run away!" Du Ruhai said lightly.
Du Ruhai is Du Zhenwei's son, he is from Chongmingzhou, so he doesn't need to give Wei Zhengzi at all, and naturally he has no scruples when he speaks!
Wei Zheng was ruthlessly robbed of white by Du Ruhai, his face became extremely ugly, but he couldn't help but snort coldly, but he secretly gave birth to a murderous intent in his heart, wondering if he was looking for an opportunity to secretly kill Du Ruhai, anyway, anything could happen on the battlefield, and Du Zhenwei couldn't find out about himself even if he wanted to ask.
The atmosphere inside the tent became tense and awkward, and Elder Tan suddenly smiled and said, "Vice General Du is right, fighting is not child's play, how can you say retreat, retreat, Elder Wei, we old guys who don't know how to lead the army should not interfere too much!"
Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "What Elder Tan said is that the old man just couldn't help but give some opinions for a while, don't take it seriously, what to really do is still decided by a few masters from the Nine Battles Academy!"
Wei Zheng's words were bone-ty, and Du Ruhai didn't bother to pay attention to them, but just said to Concubine Tao: "Where did General Ding go, when will he come back?"
Lu Buping and Wei Zheng couldn't help but glance at each other, a sneer flashed in each other's eyes, and said secretly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"
The news of Ding Qing and Chu Jun's big auction in Ling Xue City had already been passed back through Qi Gou, but the news that they were trapped under the Ice Stone Peak was blocked by the Demon Clan and did not come back, so Tan Yeshan and the others are still unknown, but since they have alarmed the Demon Clan, it is estimated that they must be more than lucky.
