"The flames soared into the sky, the rocks flew up to the sky like fire, the sonic boom was like thunder, the heavens and the earth cracked, this is what Your Majesty called a volcanic eruption."
After leading the Han army to the east for more than 30 miles, he completely escaped from the foot of the volcano, covered in dust and unkempt Wu Qi reined in his horse and looked back at the still majestic erupting Ivory Mountain, and his heart palpitated.
As early as three years ago, Liu Wei personally compiled Western geography, in addition to copying nearly 100 copies of the Great Navigation Chart and issuing them to the commanders of various legions, he also used his knowledge of later generations to compile a book of Western geography, which focused on deserts, the Dead Sea, volcanoes, primeval forests and other geographical knowledge, so Wu Qi and his soldiers immediately realized the danger at the moment of the volcanic eruption, and fled the battlefield as quickly as possible, so as to avoid greater casualties.
But even so, the casualties of the Han army still far exceeded Wu Qi's estimate, and the first time they witnessed the raging eruption of the volcano, many Han soldiers were frightened and frightened, and even howled and cried, thinking that this was the wrath of the gods and brought disaster to the world.
Wu Qi personally bandaged the wounds of the wounded soldiers, asked for warmth, and even used his mouth to clean the bruises from the wounds of some soldiers, which made the soldiers burst into tears, tears of gratitude, and showed the expressions of the soldiers who died as confidants.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a volcanic eruption, magma spewing out of the ground, it's not the gods who are angry, don't be afraid" Wu Qi bandaged the wound of a fifteen-year-old Guishan soldier with a smile, and stroked the other party's head to comfort him not to be afraid, and finally attracted more Guishan soldiers to worship Wu Qi as a god, and they clenched their fists and shouted: "With the marshal leading us, we will be invincible and invincible, even if we are gods, we are not afraid."
Wu Qi found an open area and ordered the handsome flag to be erected to gather the frightened officers and soldiers of the three armies.
Although this battle was not defeated, it was more difficult than the defeat of the army.
He Yuanqing, Ran Min, Su Lie, Gao Changgong, Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Tian Dan, Zhang He, Jiang Song, Xue Ji, Huang Feihu, Zhang Han and others returned one after another.
"It's good to be back" Wu Qi personally received the generals, holding his hand to ask for warmth, when he learned that Yan Chengfang and Di Lei were all dead under the horse aid hammer, he couldn't help but sigh and be heartbroken, and ordered to build a spiritualist platform to summon the souls of the soldiers who died at the foot of the Ivory Mountain, helping them to ascend to Bliss as soon as possible and reincarnate as a human being.
"Why don't you see General Nobuji?"
After being busy for a long time, Wu Qi found that he didn't see Yang Qilang's figure, and the Han army returning from the foot of Ivory Mountain had become more and more sparse, which made Wu Qi suddenly feel ominous.
Yang Qilang served under Wu Qi from the time of Jiaozhou, because he was brave in battle and not afraid of death, so Wu Qi paid special attention to him, and he was called a virtuous nephew on weekdays.
What's more, according to Liu Bian's words, they are still relatives of each other, Wu Qi hurriedly ordered Huang Feihu to lead 5,000 people back to find Yang Qilang to see if he was lost or had an accident Huang Feihu got the order and was about to leave, only to see seven or eight soldiers carrying a weak general back, and hurriedly stepped forward to check who it was not Yang Qilang Huang Feihu hurriedly stepped forward to take Yang Qilang off, carried it on his back, and sent someone to notify Wu Qi to come and check, and loudly summoned the healer to come and save the person.
When Wu Qi learned of Yang Qilang's return, he hurriedly rushed over and asked a few soldiers: "How was General Yansi's injury wounded by the enemy general, or was he injured by a rock." ” Several soldiers bowed their hands and reported: "Marshal Qiyu, when I first met General Yang, he was charging towards the foot of the volcano and did not retreat with the army. ” Wu Qi, Huang Feihu and the others were all familiar with Yang Qilang's lifeless character, and after hearing what the soldiers said, they all shook their heads and sighed: "Alas, Qilang's lifeless character, it really can't be changed forever, the magma from the volcanic eruption is like a shower from the sky, and it is too late for others to escape, but he wants to charge inside." ” The soldier continued: "The second time we met General Shichiro, we had already escaped from the rockfall area, and General Shichiro was wounded in the back, and he fell from his horse and fell unconscious, so we carried Shichisho back. ” A Han pawn who escaped death added: "The villain finally escaped, and I saw General Yang brave the stone rain to kill several generals, as if there was a guy named Geng Yi inside." ” "In terms of martial arts, there are definitely not enough Qilang in our Han Empire, but if you are not afraid of death, you have to push Qilang and Zaixing, the Yang family" Wu Qi stroked the sword and sighed with emotion, and ordered the doctor to rescue Yang Qilang urgently.
With the concerted efforts of three or four medical craftsmen, they took off Yang Qilang's blood-covered robe and removed their torn armor, only to see that Yang Qilang's back was almost scalded by rocks, and it was pitch black, which was unbearable to see.
Under the careful treatment of the doctor, Yang Qilang woke up leisurely, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Help me up, I can still fight, I can still kill the enemy" Wu Qi stroked Yang Qilang's forehead with his hand and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, Qilang don't be impatient, you are injured like this, and you still want to kill the enemy."
Our army will soon counterattack Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sabbatarian Empire, and Warsaw, the capital of Babylon, and some enemies will let you kill them in the future."
Wu Qi gathered soldiers for a day and a night, and after counting, it was confirmed that nearly 100,000 horses were lost, of which about 40,000 died in the war, and almost all the rest died in the rocks of the volcanic eruption.
After the observation of scouts along the way, only Liu Xiu and Ma Yuan escaped with more than 20,000 Roman troops in the Western coalition army, and the remaining 180,000 soldiers either died under the Han swords, or died at the foot of the volcano, or became prisoners of the Han army.
The rest coalition led by Alexander was even more miserable, except for more than 5,000 people who escaped by chance, none of the other 140,000 soldiers, including Alexander, escaped.
Alexander's death overjoyed Wu Qi, and Liu Xiu's escape from death was regrettable, Wu Qi ordered the whole army to return east to Shachecheng to recuperate for a period of time, and then join Yue Fei to attack Tai Xifeng and exterminate the remnants of the Anxi Empire.
After this war, the vitality of the Rest Empire was greatly damaged, and the entire domestic army was less than 200,000, and there were only a handful of capable generals, and it was just around the corner to destroy and rest in peace.
After receiving Wu Qi's letter, Yue Fei wrote a letter back, asking Wu Qi to take a break in Shache City, and at the same time transferred Ran Min, Gao Chong, Yue Yun, and Gao Changgong to return to help, and immediately smashed Tai Xifeng, not giving the rest of the people a chance to breathe, and wanted to sweep the rest of the empire with the power of thunder. t1706231537:
