Chapter 19 Why are ghosts afraid?(1/2)
From the initial cavalry charge, to the hand-to-hand combat, to the final conclusion, this fierce battle in the snowy field between the human soldiers and the White Walkers lasted for a whole day and night.
Unsurprisingly, the Northern Alliance was still able to achieve the final victory.
Because at the current stage, the Northern Alliance's military strength is still at an absolute upper hand.
However, in order to maintain this advantage in military strength, the national treasury of each country has been in deficit for years. Not to mention that most of the strong men have been conscripted into the army. Just to deliver food and grass to the Iron City, the financial resources and manpower required are unimaginable.
Therefore, no one knows how long this advantage can last.
Fog enveloped the entire snowfield.
Lu Qingshan stood on the city wall, looking down.
At this time, the entire snowfield was full of broken limbs.
These broken limbs are all from the human race.
Because after death, the White Walkers will turn into liquid and disappear quickly.
There is a strong smell of rotting corpses floating in the air, which is the unpleasant smell given off by the vaporized corpses of the White Walkers.
Troops are cleaning the battlefield.
"General, the casualty statistics have been calculated. We have 767 casualties in this battle, including 31 minor injuries, 189 serious injuries, and 547 sacrifices." Gu Tianyan came from behind Lu Qingshan.
Come and report respectfully to Lu Qingshan.
The mortality rate is extremely high. This is because the weapons of the White Walkers are too weird. Once they pierce the flesh and the cold air invades, the blood of the soldiers will stop flowing in a short time.
Therefore, for those who are injured, there are very few survivors unless a strong man breaks his wrist and directly cuts off the injured part at the first opportunity.
"However, this time, our dragon and phoenix army killed 431 strange ghosts, and the battle loss ratio was close to three to two. In terms of this battle loss ratio alone, it should be the best among all armies."
Gu Tianyan suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, according to statistics, General, you also achieved the achievement of slaying a hundred ghosts in this battle."
When the overall battle loss ratio was twenty to one, the fact that their Dragon and Phoenix Army could bring the battle loss ratio to this point was undoubtedly a very powerful proof of the strength of their Dragon and Phoenix Army.
Although the dragon and phoenix army killed 431 strange ghosts, more than a hundred of them were killed by the man in front of them.
Thinking like this, Gu Tianyan couldn't help but look up at Lu Qingshan, thinking of Lu Qingshan's amazing performance on the previous battlefield.
Kill a hundred ghosts!
This is quite an achievement in Iron City.
Thirty years later, only a few dozen of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Iron City have achieved this achievement.
And without exception, they are all accumulated slowly after dozens of battles.
There has never been a person like their general who could accomplish such a terrifying achievement in just one battle.
Moreover, among the hundred ghosts killed, there was also an "elite" White Walker who was very important and was judged by them as a White Walker general.
"This is just the beginning," Lu Qingshan was not proud of this achievement and laughed loudly: "I guarantee that everyone in the Dragon and Phoenix Army, as long as they can survive the battlefield in the end, will be able to do it when they disarm and return to the field.
Accumulate achievements no less powerful than those of the Hundred Demon Slayers."
This is an astonishing guarantee.
You must know that those who can achieve the achievement of slaying a hundred ghosts must be at least a commander-level presence in the armies of various countries, and even an army may not be able to produce one.
But Lu Qingshan was obviously so arrogant, yet he was also convincing and powerful in his persuasion.
I don't know if it was because of his previous performance on the battlefield that was too shocking, or because he exuded a convincing demeanor.
Seeing that Gu Tianyan seemed to be suppressed, Lu Qingshan chuckled again, "But first, we must survive on the battlefield."
"The fate of a sergeant is to die in battle. If he survives, he can achieve such feats. So what if he has to risk his life?" Gu Tianyan clasped his fists and said loudly.
He couldn't help but feel a little boiling in his heart.
"If you all help me, why worry about the big thing happening?" Lu Qingshan's eyes were deep, and no one knew what the big thing he meant.
"Song Guoshen General Song Yingzhen killed eleven ghosts and was rewarded with three thousand taels of silver."
"King Luo Bin, the flying goose general of the Liu Kingdom, is rewarded with two thousand taels of silver."
"The Protector General of the Qin State, Lu Qingshan, formed a formation to kill the generals of the strange ghosts. He killed more than a hundred ghosts. He achieved a record of slaying a hundred ghosts and was rewarded with twenty thousand taels of silver."
A primary school student walked up to Lu Qingshan carrying a red paint tray with a hundred ingots of gold on it.
Lu Qingshan took the tray.
"Good work."
"General Lu, you're welcome." The colonel looked a little excited.
The man in front of me is a ruthless character who can kill hundreds of White Walkers in one battle. In the past thirty years, Iron City has seen many soldiers. When has such a character appeared?
This is a general who is destined to become a legend. How can he not be excited?
The other generals present raised their eyebrows when they saw this scene, but did not speak.
With real results in front of them, what can they say?
It can only be said that it makes sense for Lu Qingshan to be favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Qin and given the Sword of Zhenguo.
The general did not speak, but someone spoke at this moment.
It is the person on the main seat. King Han, the king of South Korea, follows the rules and the kings of the nine major kingdoms must take turns to drive and conquer Tiecheng in person to calm the morale of the army.
At this time, it happened to be South Korea's turn.
In fact, with armies from so many countries gathered in one city, only the kings of these nine great kingdoms could have some control over these armies.
"General Pingnan uses his troops like a god, and General Lu's military force reaches the realm of heaven and man. The two are very different, but they both have the style of a general. I just don't know who is stronger?" King Han said with a smile.
There is a needle hidden in the cotton.
Lu Qingshan just smiled softly and said, "The King of Han is so complimentary."
King Han's eyes flickered and he chuckled, "I had forgotten that General Lu and General Pingnan came from the Qin State together. Together they are invincible, so why should they compete?"
Lu Qingshan did not respond.
King Han's intention to provoke is already obvious, but even if he knows it is a provocation, as long as he has the slightest idea about power, he will fall for it.
People will have a heart for gain and loss, a heart for winning and losing.
This is a conspiracy.
But Lu Qingshan is one of those rare exceptions.
To him, everything in the Taoyuan world is just a passing cloud. Apart from the dragon bird in his hand and the extermination of the strange ghosts, he really has nothing else to ask for.
After this fierce battle, not only had his prestige among the Dragon and Phoenix Guards been established, military generals from various countries also recognized this general who protected the country of Qin who had killed a hundred ghosts in one battle.
Especially among the army at Huanlongmen, Lu Qingshan is quite famous.
After all, there is no comparison between the impact of seeing it with your own eyes and hearing about it.
Lu Qingshan did not take any of the ten thousand taels of silver rewarded by Baigui Zhan, and distributed all of them as pensions to the families of the Dragon and Phoenix Guards soldiers who died in the battle.
This move undoubtedly increased his prestige among the Dragon and Phoenix Army.
Who would not be convinced by a general who is good at fighting, good at employing people and generous?
The wind and snow are fierce.
It’s that time of year when the wind and snow start blowing again.
The Iron City has been established and stood in the snow ridge for thirty and two years.
This weather-beaten city, even if it is really made of iron, is inevitably a little rusty.
Gu Yi
At this time, groups of neat troops filed into the city from the city gate.
They came from the countries in the southern border of the Daoyuan Realm, and came all the way through wind and rain, just to support the Northern Alliance.
Because just one month ago, Iron City once again encountered a large-scale attack by the White Walkers, suffering heavy losses and in urgent need of new blood.
Under the city wall, a strong man like an iron tower looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall, and then his eyes tightened.
"Which country's military flag is that?"
Among the continuous flags, there happened to be one flag that was higher than all the flags.
On the big flag, the gilded dragon pattern is eye-catching.
The primary school student who was registering the new troops entering the city noticed the difference between the strong men and frowned and asked: "You don't know about the Dragon and Phoenix Army?"
The strong man shook his head.
The principal thought that he was from the south and was not well-informed. He showed a look of understanding and said, "Then you should know more about it."
"After all, in Tiecheng, you don't have to know who the kings of the Nine Great Kingdoms are, but you absolutely must know about Lu Qingshan and his Dragon and Phoenix Army."
"Lu Qingshan" Suddenly hearing this somewhat familiar name, the strong man frowned.
General Zhenning, who came from the Yuan Kingdom, remembered a strange man he met in the old forest outside Yuandu two thousand years ago, who also had this name.
Here, Xiao Xiaozhao has already begun to talk endlessly.
