The fire reflected red on one side of the river bank.
With the Imperial Army's counterattack, the Demon Winged Man Legion had no choice but to give up its aerial arrow attack, but left thousands of corpses on the bank.
They probably did not expect that there would be any among the Imperial Army.
There are so many "Archers", but they are just unlucky enough to have encountered the Gentian Battalion.
Most of the current members of the Gentian Battalion are from the Temple Battalion, and the original identities of the soldiers in the Temple Battalion were all Temple employees.
If he is proficient in bow and horse, how could he not be proficient in archery?
At the same time, similar battles took place at several other ferries along the Daojiang River.
According to Feng Jixing's Yushu order, all legions launched fire attacks.
For a time, the entire Daojiang River seemed to be coated with a layer of flames. .
The miserable howls of the demons echoed endlessly, and the armored demons kept charging toward the river bank even though they knew they were dead, as if they had received some kind of order.
It wasn't until late at night that the armored demon's cube ships finally stopped attacking from the other side.
The flames in the river gradually extinguished, and the imperial soldiers along the coast began to clean up the battlefield.
The corpses of the Armored Demon and the Winged Man were dragged one by one to the depths of the jungle, burned and buried, and Lin Muyu gave clear orders to all those who handled the corpses.
They all had to cover their mouths and noses with cloth to prevent the spread of the plague, but it seemed that these armored demons were quite healthy and had not contracted the disease.
In the early hours of the morning, a fish-belly white color appeared in the east, but thick smoke still rose from the shore, and the bodies of many armored demons were still smoking or even burning.
The armored demon is afraid of fire and water.
This sentence really became the empire's life-saving straw.
Lin Muyu's face was covered with streaks of dust.
He just wiped it briefly and went to the wounded barracks to check the situation.
Although many enemies were killed in this battle, the imperial soldiers still suffered a lot of damage.
There were everywhere in the wounded barracks.
The wounded soldiers were groaning miserably.
Many of them were slashed by the armored demon, and even worse, their arms or legs were cut off directly.
Medical officers from the Spiritual Medicine Department are bandaging and treating each and every one.
Fortunately, there are plenty of medicinal herbs here.
Every wounded soldier can be cured and many lives can be saved.
"Lord Commander," a wounded soldier hurriedly wanted to get up and salute.
Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "No need to be polite, just lie down."
The wounded soldier nodded gratefully and said, "Commander, I killed an armored demon."
"That's good.
Has the clerk included it?"
"Collected, he said that after returning to Lanyan City, he will at least promote Xiao Hechang."
"That's great, take good care of yourself."
"Thank you, Lord Commander" After checking around the wounded barracks, he returned to the central military tent.
Lin Muyu was exhausted and sat down on the commander's seat.
The Wuhun Golden Gourd slowly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the lost fighting spirit, while Qin Yan held it.
A big bowl of broth and three pieces of flatbread, he said with a smile: "Brother, eat something first, you must be hungry after killing all night."
"Um."
Lin Muyu's stomach was growling with hunger.
He took the food and wolfed it down.
He raised his head and said, "Ayan, go summon the secretary to come in.
I want to hear the post-war statistics."
"yes" A few minutes later, a clerk came in with a file in his hands.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Commander Yu, we killed a total of 7,248 armored demons and 1,124 winged men in this battle.
There were no prisoners.

They did not dispatch high-level demons." , all the bodies of the armored demons and winged men have been immediately disposed of, buried or burned."
"Tell us about our situation."
Lin Muyu said.
"Our" secretary looked a little unhappy and said: "A total of 6,874 soldiers of our army were killed in this battle, more than 13,000 people were injured, and 25 people were missing."
"So many people died in the war."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Record the list of those who died in the war in detail, and send the list back to Lanyan City, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will uniformly issue pensions."
"Yes, my lord"
The secretary added: "We only have more than 500 barrels of ebony oil left."
"I know, let's go down."
"yes" At this time, Wei Chou and Feng Xi walked in side by side, covered in blood.
Wei Chou's face still showed the excitement after the war, and said: "I'll wait to see you, sir."
"Yeah."
Lin Muyu looked up at them, then lowered his head and took a sip of broth, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Have eaten, my lord."
"There is not enough ebony oil.
Immediately urge the military department to prepare more.
Without ebony oil, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in the next demon attack."
"yes" Wei Qiu grinned and said: "It is said that all the beech trees in Cangnan Province are about to be cut down.
The Ministry of Revenue has mobilized more than half a million civilians to collect beech oil.
Even the beech oil in the Seven Stars Forest has been collected.
That’s almost it.
This fire attack tactic may not be implemented for a while.
Fortunately, we killed a lot of demons this time, so we can always scare them. " "Well, how is the combat situation of the other legions?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Wei Qiu said: "According to the information we just received, it is our Fourth Army that has gained the most and suffered the least losses."
"Ah" Lin Muyu was stunned: "How is the situation of the other legions?"
Wei Qiu took out the scroll from his waist, unfolded it and said: "The first legion led by Feng Jixing killed more than 5,000 armored demons and lost more than 10,000 people.
The second legion led by Su Yu killed the armored demons.
More than five hundred, and more than a thousand were lost.
Xiang The Third Army led by Yu killed more than 11,000 armored demons and suffered more than 32,000 casualties.
There was no fighting in the positions of Yao Yuan and Su Long.
The brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian of the Seventh Army killed more than 11,000 armored demons.
More than 1,000 armored demons were killed, and more than 9,000 were killed."
"Oh My God" Lin Muyu couldn't help but put down the big cake in his hand and said in shock: "What is Xiang Yu doing?
More than 30,000 people were killed in the battle?"
"Yes."
Wei Qiu said: "Master Xiang Yu's position was attacked by nearly 20,000 armored demons, so the damage was relatively high."
"Then what are brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian doing?
Killing a thousand armored demons, but losing more than nine thousand people themselves?"
Lin Muyu asked angrily: "Are these two vegetarians?"
Qin Yan said: "Brother, I arranged for Yu Shu from the inside line of the Seventh Army to give me a letter, saying that the two brothers Tang Lu and Tang Tian indulged in drinking and had fun.
They had fun with Ying Ji the day before yesterday.
They only woke up yesterday afternoon, so the war was delayed.
According to the arrangement, when the armored demons crossed the river, their ebony oil was not completely connected, so more than a thousand armored demons took advantage of the situation and landed ashore.
They had to fight at close range, so they suffered so much damage. " "There are only more than a thousand armored demons."

Lin Muyu gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty thousand people can drown these armored demons with just one mouthful of saliva.
What do the two Marquises Tang Lu and Tang Tian do for food, and they actually play with Ying Ji?
They are just bastards."
Wei Qiu said with a smile: "Commander, please calm down.
I just received the feather letter.
His Highness Yin will be escorted by Zhang Wei and five thousand forbidden troops to our Fenglin Ferry position later.
They will arrive at around night.
What does your Highness mean?"
It’s to inspect the Fourth Army, but from what I can see, His Highness is just concerned about control.”
Lin Muyu grinned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Wei Qiu laughed loudly: "What I want to say is that I will order people to boil water immediately, take a hot bath and go to bed early, and put on a new suit of clothes and armor to see His Highness at night.
Don't lose your etiquette, right?"
control" Lin Muyu glared at him and said: "The two armies are facing each other.
Be more serious and don't look playful and smiling all day long."
"Yes, my subordinates will order the subordinates to boil water for the commander.
There was no fighting in the position commanded by Su Yu, so she personally led 2,000 guards and escorted about 4,000 barrels of ebony oil to us.
It was about the same as Your Highness Yin will arrive at the same time.”
"Well, I get it.
It's really a timely help, Auntie Yu is reliable."
"Hey, my subordinate is going down."
"good."
Lin Muyu wolfed down the rest of the food.
When he returned to his barracks, the water had already been boiled.
After taking a bath, he fell asleep in a hurry.
As a former army commander, he had to keep his spirits up.
Although the battle with the demons was Many imperial troops were killed, but it should be considered a disastrous defeat for the demons, and they would definitely not give up.
In his sleep, countless shadowy figures floated by.
He heard cries and howls.
He seemed to hear Qin Yin's voice, whispering like a girl's nostalgia.
He seemed to also hear Tang Xiaoxi's voice.
Crying loudly, as if expressing despair, the collision of the wind-cutting knife and the bloodthirsty gun appeared in the dream, he heard Xiang Yu's laughter, and heard Feng Jixing's roar.
When he woke up, It was already nightfall.
"Commander, dinner is ready, can it be brought in for you?"
Wei Qiu said outside the tent.
"Well, bring it in.
Thank you, Wei Qiu."
"You don't have to be polite to control."
"Is there any movement from the demon clan?"
"No, there's no movement at all."
"More alert."
"yes" At this time, outside the demon clan's tent, Qianfeng Jianfeng frowned, pacing back and forth in the open space, with a gloomy face, and said to the guard on the side: "Is your highness still sleeping?"
"Yes."
The guard cupped his fists and said, "Marshal Qianfeng, why don't you go back and rest first?
His Highness doesn't seem to be waking up for a while."
"How can I rest" Qianfeng was slightly angry and said: "We lost nearly 30,000 armored demon warriors in this battle.

This is a disastrous defeat that our protoss has never had.
You want me to rest?"
The guard remained silent and said: "Marshal, I realize that I was wrong.
Please forgive me, Marshal."
Qianfeng didn't argue with him, and said, "If you go in again and report, just say that Qianfeng has something urgent and wants to see His Highness."
"this" The guard looked embarrassed: "Marshal, please don't embarrass me.
His Highness the Third Prince said that no one is allowed to disturb his rest.
If he makes the Third Prince angry, I may not be able to save my head."
"What are you afraid of?
As long as I'm here, no one can touch you."
Qianfeng was a little angry, stretched out his hand and said: "Get out of my way, I must see His Highness immediately."
"Wow" The moment the curtain of the big tent was opened, Qianfeng saw that there was no one on the third prince's bed.
He froze there and said, "Your Highness, where is the other person?"
The guard trembled all over, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, saying: "Marshal, spare your life, His Highness went out with the personal guards at dusk.
He said that he had received news that the human empress Qin Yin had left the camp, and His Highness the Third Prince decided to go to the Unicorn Forest.
They have already gone to assassinate the empress Qin Yin.
Marshal, spare your life.
His Highness asked me to do this."
Qianfeng was so angry that he was shaking all over: "It's just nonsense, you really think that human beings have no masters":
