Chapter 1228: The Twin Walls of the Empire

"My lord, the last general has already repelled the enemy."

On the grassland of Muzhou, Cheng Lian flew over and reported to Lu Buhui excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu didn't show joy when he heard the words, but looked a little dignified. Glancing at Cheng Lian, he said solemnly: "Introduce the detailed process of the battle to the general!"

Cheng Lian was taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Bu to be interested in this inconspicuous little battle, but he still said neatly: "My lord, the enemy army has a combat army as the core, supplemented by a large number of auxiliary soldiers recruited temporarily. , with a total strength of about 400,000, set off from Longmu City to harass the right wing of our army.

In the end, according to the order of the lord, he will lead 500,000 Bingzhou cavalry to meet the enemy. With the superior strength of our army, after two hours of fighting, the enemy army was completely defeated and retreated to Longmu City. According to the Lord's instructions, the subordinates did not launch an attack on Longmu City. "

"How about the enemy's casualties?"

"The cumulative casualties are around 60,000, 40,000 of the enemy died in battle, 50,000 were captured, and a large number of them were separated. Less than 250,000 of them could escape back to Longmu City."

"It shouldn't be!!"

Hearing Wan Wanlian's report, Lu Bu frowned even tighter, and muttered to himself.

"Marquis Wen, is there something wrong?"

Liu Feng next to him drove forward and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Tan, Cao Ang and others also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Lv Bu's title of God of War is not for nothing. While his single-body combat power is unrivaled in the world, Lv Bu also has very profound attainments in commanding wars. Not to mention the juniors like Liu Feng and Yuan Tan, even their parents dare not underestimate them. .

"Our journey was so smooth. From the beginning to the end, the only battle that can be called resistance is the one that Cheng Lian just experienced, but this is obviously not the level that the Shangji Army should be!"

"Marquis Wen, don't you think too highly of Shang Ji? According to the report I learned, there were two combat legions originally stationed in Muzhou. One of them was transferred due to the Battle of Chenzhou some time ago and has not returned yet. .The remaining combat legion is still very low in rank, and its combat effectiveness is at the bottom of the Shang army system. Now that we are attacking from all directions, the Shang Ji troops are stretched and unable to support Muzhou. Isn't this what it should mean?"

Ma Chao next to him was a little annoyed. He glanced at Lu Bu and said displeasedly.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Because what Ma Chao said is right, the mobilization of the Shangji army, especially the mobilization of the combat legion, is the most concerned issue of the alliance. I don’t know how many spies are watching. There is only one combat legion in Muzhou. This is the result of joint verification by multiple forces. Impossible to go wrong!

Lu Bu also knew this truth, but the intuition of the God of War still made Lu Bu feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

"Send an order to extend the scout's detection distance by another 100 miles. The outpost will be placed 800 miles away, and the situation will be reported every five minutes. If there is any disturbance, it must be reported immediately."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ma Chao next to him curled his lips silently when he saw this, but he didn't provoke any more.

On the one hand, it is because the two sides are allies now, and Lu Bu is still the commander-in-chief. Even for the purpose of maintaining unity, I am too embarrassed to go too far. Of course, the most important reason is that he really cannot beat Lu Bu...

After the order was given, the army moved on.

Two hours later, Zhang Liao, who was next to Lu Bu, suddenly pointed to the front and asked.

"My lord, what do you think that is?"

Lu Bu followed Zhang Liao's direction, but saw that it was a huge monument. The whole body of this huge monument is dark. The base of the building alone covers an area of ​​more than 800 acres, and its height is nearly 400 feet. In the true sense, it goes straight into the sky. See.

Lu Bu introduced with a complex expression: "This is the soul-suppressing monument, which Shang Ji spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build after defeating Xianbei. It is used to commemorate the Chinese soldiers who have buried their bones in the grassland over the years.

"

"In the entire Muzhou, Shang Ji built a total of three monuments to suppress the soul. This is one of them. When it was completed, I was invited to come here to pay homage to the martyrs of the past. I didn't expect to come here again today. Things have changed. .”

Everyone else looked at the Soul-Suppressing Monument with complicated expressions, and even the most arrogant Ma Chao remained silent.

Although he was an enemy of Shang Ji, even these enemies had to admire Shang Ji's achievements. From the founding of the country to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, during the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the grassland has always been a serious problem in the Central Plains. Even at the peak of the Han Dynasty, they only suppressed the grassland, not to mention conquering it. However, the emergence of the Shang Dynasty not only eliminated the grassland regime, but also organized the people of the grassland into households, and even turned them into a state. This kind of achievement is It is also worthy of special mention in the long river of history.

With such a person as an enemy, everyone can imagine the psychological pressure.

"Forget it, now that we're here, everyone will follow me to worship, Wen Yuan, you command the army to move forward, you will come when you are going!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu rode his horse and galloped away regardless of other reactions.

The others looked at each other, and finally followed suit.

Half an hour later, after a simple worship, Lu Bu and others joined the army and continued to gallop forward.

After all the army had passed and left, night had already fallen.

Under the soul-suppressing stele, two figures stood side by side.

"Uncle, that person seemed strong just now."

After a moment of silence, one of them suddenly spoke.

"Well, it's reached the peak that this world can accommodate." Another man who looked a little older nodded blankly, and then fell silent again.

After a full quarter of an hour, the person who answered just now shook his head, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, after so many years of waking up, the opponent in the first battle turned out to be a big man."

"It's okay, Xiangping's order is only to trap them, control the strength well, and not too many people will die."

The middle-aged man nodded imperceptibly, and said, "Qubing, let's start!"

"it is good!"

The young and strong one responded, and then waved his hand.

A wave-like ripple appeared on the surface of the Battle Spirit Monument, and then a fully armed general leaped out, and then a wave of soldiers rushed out of the Battle Soul Monument, filling the grassland in just a moment.

The soul-suppressing monument, its real name should be the Battle Soul Monument, and it was not built by Shang Ji, and the number is not the three known by Lu Bu.

In fact, this gigantic soaring monument is just a cover-up. There are thirty-six war spirit monuments scattered throughout the grassland, and each of them contains tens of millions of war spirits. If necessary, the fighting spirit can be awakened at any time within the scope of the grassland to help in the battle.

And the two who spoke just now are not ordinary people, but Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who are known as the Empire's Twin Walls!

When Wei Qing and the other two summoned the battle spirit inside the battle spirit monument, the six hidden war spirit monuments around them were activated one after another. Overnight, without Lu Bu and others noticing, they had been killed by hundreds of millions of people. Surrounded by an army of fighting spirits.
