From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 160: Huns as Slaves; Decisive Battle of Handan (Please subscribe~)

It was not until this moment that she understood why Wu Fengdeng had wanted her to follow him all the time from the beginning. She had already prepared herself for this kind of exhaustion.

To lose all power in this chaotic scene would be like seeking death.

"Then you and I each saved a life, so we're even. Don't talk about me again in the future..." Bao'er pouted with her head down.

"Well, no, no."

Wu Fengdeng swallowed the two pills with trembling hands, then closed his eyes and rested his mind with peace of mind.

Seeing him calm down in her arms, Bao'er couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. She hugged his shoulders with a slightly red cheek, then quickly raised her head and looked away as if she was guilty of a crime.

At this time, the battle in the desert was nearing its end. The Fire Armor Army and the Yang Mansion soldiers used their absolute superiority in manpower to eliminate those who stubbornly resisted. Most of the remaining Huns knelt on the ground and surrendered, no longer having the will to fight.

The Huns, who had invaded the border for hundreds of years, were actively wiped out and defeated today for the first time in history. What a spectacular scene it was in the desert.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Fengdeng had recovered some of his energy and blood after a short rest. When he came back to his senses, his head was still soft and warm, and the hand that was around his shoulders was gently stroking his neck.

"You're awake! Why don't you get up quickly!"

Suddenly Bao'er noticed that Wu Fengdeng had opened his eyes, and she immediately withdrew her hand in shame.

"Seeing you're hugging me so enthusiastically, I have no nerve to disturb you."

He slowly stood up, teased her slightly red cheeks, then immediately put away his playful intention and focused his attention on the battlefield.

"General Wu! There are more than 38,000 Huns who surrendered, and the rest who resisted were killed!" Li Qun rode over on horseback to report in time.

Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly and said, "Take off all their weapons and armor. Those who are above the Strong Bone Realm will have their cultivation abolished, but their muscles and bones must not be injured."

"There is a shortage of food in the north, and we have to rely on these barbarians to open up wasteland and cultivate land to repair the Great Wall."

"Yes! Got it!"

Li Qun took the order and carried it out. For a moment, there was widespread wailing among the surrendered troops. Facing these foreign barbarians, the Fire Armor Army and the Yang Mansion soldiers wished they could eat their flesh and drink their blood, and at this moment they showed no mercy at all.

After crippling them on the spot, they were all tied up with ropes and shackles and taken back to Jianjia City. Along the way, they were cheered and applauded by the villagers.

"We won! We won!"

"It has been hundreds of years. There hasn't been such a great victory in hundreds of years!"

"The heaven has eyes, the heaven has eyes!"

"Smash them to death!"

"Damn you barbarians, you deserve this day!"

The people were all filled with righteous indignation and gnashed their teeth. They smashed rotten eggs on the Huns' heads, and the black and yellow stench flowed down. There were also rotten vegetable stalks and leaves, and even stones flying everywhere, hitting them on the heads and causing them to bleed.

It is no wonder that they are so indignant. For hundreds of years, the Huns have repeatedly invaded, committed rape and murder, and committed all kinds of atrocities, causing great harm to the local people.

Even with the protection of the Zhao army, they could hide inside the Great Wall, but not in the villages and houses. Every time they went back, they could only see the ruins of the beacon fire.

In the dead of winter, the suffering of being without a home can be imagined.

But this year is different!

This year we had an unprecedented great victory. Not only did we repel the Huns, but we also captured so many surrendered soldiers. I have never felt so relieved before!

Amidst the attack and insults, some of the surrendered Hun soldiers were still beastly and ready to start a rebellion with red eyes, but as soon as they raised their heads they were suppressed by the surrounding soldiers.

Now, they can only be slaves!
Wu Fengdeng was riding by on horseback and was also moved when he saw this.

"Sure enough, no matter which world they are in, the Huns are the existence that the Han people hate the most. There are many regrets in the history of the previous life, such as the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the Jingkang Incident. It can be seen that the danger of the Huns is deeply rooted."

"And in this world, will future dynasties also be like this?"

As a Han Chinese, Wu Fengdeng had only known these things from history books. Even though he had only read a few historical fragments, he still had a sense of national sentiment as a Han Chinese.

Brought into this world and seeing with my own eyes the ferocious curses of these people shouting at the top of their lungs, I was quite moved.

While he was thinking about it, the troops entered the city. Yang Jianwen ordered that all the surrendered soldiers be placed in the prisoner-of-war camp in the east of the city, and immediately be registered, demoted to slaves, and sent to repair the city and open up wasteland.

Jianjia City was suddenly extremely lively and joyous, even more festive than the Chinese New Year.

Late at night, Yang Mansion.

The entire yard was filled with fine wine and a grand feast. All the generals from the Yang Mansion and the Fire Armor Army were present, toasting each other and laughing in celebration.

Diliuliu~~
The yellowish and clear aged wine was poured into the cup. Wu Fengdeng took a sip and suddenly felt it was as spicy as a knife, as biting as the cold wind in the winter outside the Great Wall, which really lifted his spirits.

"When are you leaving?"

Yang Jianwen took a sip and asked about the itinerary.

Wu Fengdeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Wait a few days. Although the Xiongnu have been annihilated, it is hard to say whether they will retaliate and invade the south again."

This time the Huns suffered an unprecedentedly brutal defeat, and there is no guarantee that they would not become furious and send troops to retaliate.

After all, everyone in their tribe is a soldier. If this main force of 50,000 is annihilated, they can quickly organize a new 50,000 elite troops, or even more.

Yang Jianwen nodded slightly: "Also, although this place is desolate and cold, the scenery at sunrise and sunset is also unique."

"Do you have any idea of ​​how to cultivate immortality now?"

She turned the topic to cultivation, and Wu Fengdeng replied: "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's break through to the later stage first and then look for it. It's not a difficult task."

From the Tuodan Realm to the Cangqi Realm, the main direction of cultivation is to refine Qi and blood into spiritual energy. This is an essential change, so the previous cultivation methods are no longer applicable and must be replaced with corresponding methods.

However, Wu Fengdeng was not worried about this. There would definitely be some from his adoptive father Wei Zhe, and there were also too many from Ying Zheng to count. He could just pick one when the time came.

"The Qi Containment Realm is different from the previous realms. The key lies in the polishing of the foundation. The purer and more solid the foundation, the higher the upper limit of the warrior's path will be."

"So if you want to go further, the technique you choose should be compatible with your current Bingfa Jue. This way, you can connect naturally and your foundation will be pure."

"The Red Lotus Skills passed down in my family were originally learned by my ancestors on the battlefield. They are most suitable for military practitioners to practice, and they also have the same origin as the Art of Soldier Conquest. Are you willing to practice it?"

Yang Jianwen spoke slowly, but Wu Fengdeng's pupils shrank slightly and he was slightly surprised.

The red lotus fire he got from her before has helped him a lot many times, and he knows how powerful it is.

And at this time, Yang Jianwen actually took the initiative to teach him the Red Lotus Technique, which made him somewhat flattered.

"Of course! I couldn't ask for more!"

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Yang Jianwen said no more and took out a scroll from his wide sleeves.

"Although you are still in the middle stage, you can practice the introductory chapter first. It will also be beneficial for you to break through to the late stage." "Thank you very much, I will be very grateful!"

Since they were all acquaintances, Wu Fengdeng naturally would not be polite and accepted it as a treasure.

After the celebration banquet, he returned to his military camp, entered a state of [Concentration], and slowly practiced his skills. A quarter of an hour later, a hint of relief appeared between his brows.

This Red Lotus technique consists of three parts, namely Fire Formation, Lotus Entanglement and Pill Condensation. Fire Formation is the introductory stage, and the main focus is to refine the Qi and blood and transform them into Red Lotus Karma Fire.

It can only be practiced in the late stage of Tuodan, but the Taixuan Bingfa Jue practiced by Wu Fengdeng is somewhat similar to it, and the qi and blood refined are also relatively strong, so it can be practiced slightly in the middle stage.

Moreover, the refined red lotus karma fire can also help break through the last layer of barriers, which is of great benefit to him.

In the next ten days, Wu Fengdeng sat cross-legged in meditation, devoting his whole body to practice, and felt that his dantian was getting hotter and hotter.

It was not until the early morning of the tenth day that he finally managed to refine a wisp of flame in his dantian. It looked very small, and was entangled in a gossamer shape.

"out."

Wu Fengdeng raised his hand, and a flame suddenly ignited in the palm of his hand. The bright red light made his eyes shine even brighter.

Become!

The red lotus fire that is real and completely your own!

Although it is far inferior to Yang Jianwen's flame in terms of quantity and quality, it is enough for him!
"I have only refined a trace of flame in the past ten days, and that was while I was concentrating my mind. It seems that advancing from the Tuodan realm to the Cangqi realm is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Wu Fengdeng smacked his lips and muttered, then took the red lotus fire into his dantian and continued to practice the Taixuan Bingfa Jue, guiding his blood and qi mixed with the flame to collide with the last barrier.

This went on for another two days, until he could no longer bear the hunger from not eating for many days and stopped practicing.

By then, the last barrier had more tiny cracks than before, and the progress was amazing.

"It seems that the effect of this Red Lotus Karma Fire is stronger than Li Xin's spiritual energy. In the future, I can practice it alternately with the Bingfa Jue. The flames I cultivate can be used to attack the barriers. In any case, I have to break through to the later stage first." Wu Fengdeng secretly made a plan.

At this time, the Fire Armor Army had stayed in Jianjia City for half a month. The north of the Great Wall was quiet, and the scouts sent out did not find any movement within a hundred miles to the north.

It seems that the Huns have really given up.

The crisis here has been successfully resolved, and returning to the camp must be put on the agenda. After all, these 10,000 are the main elite forces of the south route, and the war is not over yet. Although Li Xin did not urge them, it does not mean that they can stay forever.

Before leaving, all the generals of the Yang Mansion came out of the city to see him off. Yang Jianwen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wu Fengdeng who was wearing armor and riding a horse in front of him. There was a trace of loneliness in his eyes, but he just said calmly: "Thank Li Xin for your support this time."

Wu Fengdeng smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely pass it on."

"Wu Fengdeng, the war over there is over. If you have time, you can come here to play. The snow scenery here in the middle of winter is beautiful." These words were said by Bao'er who was beside him. At this moment, she looked more calm and peaceful, with gentle eyes.

Wu Fengdeng smiled and nodded, then said goodbye to the generals, pulled the reins and led the team out of Jianjia City.

……

Handan, Li Mansion.

The midday sun was warm, shining brightly on the bluestone courtyard. However, in this huge classical mansion, there were very few servants. There were only two or three people fetching water and chopping firewood. There were many weeds growing in the cracks between the stones in the courtyard, and no one trimmed them.

A nanmu chair was placed on the corridor. Veteran Li Mu sat there quietly with his eyes closed, but there were more wrinkles on his face.

"Father, the battle report has been compiled."

Li Xing, dressed in a gray long coat, strode over and bowed respectfully. Only after Li Mu nodded slightly did he start reading aloud.

"After General Sima was removed, the northern Qin general Wang Jian captured three cities in succession. As of midnight last night, he had already turned south and headed straight for Handan."

"In the south, Li Xin held Wei Yu and defeated our counterattack force. He continued to march eastward and crossed the Taihang Mountains early this morning."

"As the two armies marched, most of the garrisons in various places surrendered and made way. People outside were saying that Zhao State had no more generals to send, which caused panic among the people."

This brief battle report was so heavy in every word that Li Xing felt difficulty breathing while reading it. His throat was choked with sobs and his face was filled with sorrow.

Sad, really sad.

Originally, according to the deployment at the beginning of the war, the two Zhenwu warriors, Li Mu and Sima Shang, could completely block the two-pronged attack of the Qin army, and this was indeed the case. Under the tactic of defending the city, even the Qin army was helpless.

If this continues, the Qin army will be exhausted from the logistical supply problem and the battle can be won.

But no one expected that at this critical juncture, someone came to the court to slander Li Mu and Sima Shang, suspecting that they were in collusion with Qin. The King of Zhao did not hesitate to remove the two and placed them under house arrest pending investigation.

Sending Zhao Cong, Yan Ju, and several people from the Yin-Yang School to fight was a self-destructive move that directly led to the collapse of the two routes. Now they have joined forces and are heading straight for Handan.

The State of Zhao had reached a moment of life and death.

"As expected, it's just a re-enactment of the Battle of Changping."

Li Mu said in a deep voice, but there was a hint of self-mockery in his tone, and then he continued to ask: "What about the Great Wall in the north? Can the danger from the Huns be resolved?"

"there……"

Li Xing had a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said helplessly, "The danger of the Xiongnu has been resolved, and their 50,000 main forces have been completely wiped out."

"Oh?" Li Mu was quite surprised.

He had been dealing with the Huns for so many years, so he naturally knew how fierce and difficult to deal with they were. Even he had to defend the Great Wall to prevent them from invading China. He had never had such a record of annihilating the Huns completely.

"It's Wu Fengdeng."

Although Li Xing was reluctant to admit it, the facts were there, so he had to tell the truth: "Wu Fengdeng went north to provide support and completely contained the Xiongnu prince Maodun, stabilizing the defense line of the Yang Mansion."

"Then he cooperated with the Yang Mansion to design a plan to completely annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu and captured more than 30,000 people. Prince Maodun was beaten to the point of death. His fate after returning to the tribe is unknown."

After listening to this, Li Mu was rarely moved, and said with emotion: "He is really a son of a tiger and a wolf, a military genius. Xing'er, it is not unfair that you lost to him."

"Yes, father." Li Xing replied unconvinced.

Boom~
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the far horizon. Li Mu raised his head slightly, stroked his beard and sighed, "After all, they are coming. Facing this place where I felt sad in my childhood, how could the King of Qin let any of his people go?"

"I'm afraid that our Zhao State will not be able to escape this disaster."

Zhao Palace.

Today the court was filled with civil officials. All military officers were urgently dispatched to defend against Qin around Handan. The occasional rumbling sounds were evidence that a battle had already begun.

Although the sun was shining brightly today, the hall was still cold and gloomy. Everyone had an unshakable haze in their hearts, and they frowned and sighed at each other.

Except Guo Kai.

He stood tall and at the head of the civil officials, and when he looked around, his eyes were filled with disdain and sarcasm.

All the men in the court act like girls!
