Chapter 603 The world in the palm of your hand(1/2)
Cleaning the battlefield, on the one hand, for the abandoned weapons and equipment.
Needless to say, throwing away helmets and armor, when ordinary soldiers are fleeing, they cannot escape if they are wearing armor.
Even rattan armor will affect actions to a certain extent.
Of course it's going to be lost.
Will you succumb to the enemy? People are going to die to think about this.
As for weapons, long weapons are mostly used on the battlefield. Once defeated, they will basically be thrown away. The same goes for shields. These weapons are either big or heavy and are not conducive to escape.
Only short swords and knives have little effect.
However, ordinary soldiers do not know how to wear swords and knives, and the only ones who can carry them are generals.
Swords and weapons have little effect on the battlefield.
The three Liu Bei brothers, for example, have swords in case of emergencies, and they have never unsheathed them until now.
Liu Bei's special weapon, the double-pronged sword, has never been unsheathed.
The long-handled hammer seized from Deng Mao and Cheng Zhiyuan is used now.
When charging on the battlefield, it is more useful to use long weapons.
However, if there is a duel before the battle, Liu Bei will use his double-pronged sword.
But he has two younger brothers who are more powerful than him, so he doesn't have much chance.
In addition to recovering equipment, another important reason for cleaning the battlefield is to clean up the corpses.
The accumulation of corpses on the battlefield can easily form ghouls.
What is a ghoul? It is a monster born from a pile of dead people, similar to a wild dog.
But more dangerous than wild dogs.
Generally speaking, wild dogs will only devour corpses and will not provoke people unless they are provoked by humans - unless there are no corpses to eat and they are starving.
But ghouls are different. They are full of aggression and can easily hurt people.
The Yellow Turban thieves don't care, the court must.
Qingzhou City is an important place, and there should be no corpses outside the city.
A large number of corpses were piled up and set on fire.
For now, this is the best way, and there is no extra energy to dig holes and bury them.
Moreover, in places like mass graves, if too many corpses are buried at once, it is easy for ghouls to appear, but the probability of them appearing is not as high as on an unattended battlefield.
"Gu Gu Gu——"
"Gu Gu Gu——"
The cries of dead birds kept coming from the sky, and even flames and people walking and carrying could not disperse them.
Night sky.
A large number of dead birds were circling, refusing to leave and coming down from time to time to peck at the corpses.
The dead bird naturally feeds on corpses, whether it is flesh, blood, hair, or even bones.
They have no interest in strangers and will fly away when someone tries to drive them away.
Otherwise, with its power that can break bones, it would be a huge threat to ordinary people.
Because there are certain dangers in clearing the battlefield.
In addition to some soldiers, there are usually military commanders on duty.
Right now, Xia Yanzhen, Tiamat, and Zhang Fei are in charge.
Originally, it was not their turn to do the job of sweeping the battlefield, but Xia Yan really wanted to come and take a look, so she left it to him.
During this period, compliments such as "Taoist Master Gao Yi" were naturally indispensable.
However, Xia Yanzhen has not received any substantial benefits for the time being, except for insignificant compliments from his several great victories.
However, Liu Bei, as the main recipient of military exploits, was reported to Zou Jing and is expected to have an official position in the future.
Daochang Xia is from outside the country, and the current world is in chaos caused by the Taiping Demon Dao.
It’s not easy to write a letter explaining his merits.
Fortunately, Daochang Xia doesn't care much about this.
Liu Bei told Zou Jing on behalf of Xia Yanzhen that Xia Yanzhen only came to pacify the Yellow Turban bandits and eliminate the Taiping Road.
Ask for nothing else.
Liu Bei also added some of his own understanding, such as orthodox disputes and so on.
Xia Yanzhen doesn't need those things, he just needs to influence the imperial army to fight the Yellow Turban Army and promote the historical process.
With my current status, I can obviously do it.
Not to mention Liu Bei, after the day's battle, Xia Yanzhen now tells Zou Jing to fight wherever he wants, and Zou Jing will fight wherever he wants.
This is not a fierce man who can break the formation alone.
But in the true sense, one person is against ten thousand, and one person can kill 70,000 to 80,000 Yellow Turban thieves and defeat them.
In the end, only one Qu Shuai (Guan Hai) escaped.
Not to break the formation, but to break the army!
Such a terrifying peerless general was willing to kill the Yellow Turban Army under his command, so Zou Jing naturally wanted to support him.
After several great victories by the Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court attached great importance to it. Various decrees were issued, releasing military power, and calling on all the powerful families to unite to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.
I don’t know how many people will rise because of this, so why is there not me, Zou Jing, among them?
If I win over the three brothers Liu Bei (a disciple of Lu Zhi) (a super strong general) and Daochang Xia (a peerless general), won't I, Zou Jing, soar to the sky?
In Zou Jing's eyes, Xia Yanzhen is now equivalent to Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei just visited the thatched cottage three times to invite him out of the mountain.
Whether there is a position or not is a side issue.
Zou Jing's attitude towards Xia Yanzhen made Liu Bei feel a little threatened - of course he also wanted to take Taoist Xia for his own use.
Everyone wants talent.
However, Liu Bei had a vague feeling that this Priest Xia Shi was not someone who had lived under others for a long time.
The future will either drift away and return to the leisurely Kunlun, or...
Therefore, let’s be gentlemen’s friends for the time being.
Let’s get back to business, back to the battlefield.
Xia Yanzhen and the other three were walking casually, with the muddy ground beneath their feet made not of water but of blood.
The smell of blood is very strong.
"Daozhang Xia, do you Taoists know how to use thunder?" Zhang Fei asked, "I heard that Zhang Jiao's demon can make wind, rain, lightning and thunder."
"I don't know how." Xia Yanzhen said.
"The Taiping Demon Taoist Association"
"Maybe." Xia Yanzhen said, "The Tao I cultivate is different from the Taiping Tao. I don't know what the great sage master cultivated. Since there are rumors, it is probably true."
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Daozhang Xia, what kind of Tao do you practice?"
"Prove the Tao with force." Xia Yanzhen said.
Zhang Fei showed a stunned expression, no wonder he couldn't beat him at all.
He didn't think the way of "proving the Tao with force" was strange. After the day's battle, he asked Daoist Xia to borrow the terrifying weapon formed by Taoism - Qingyun.
This weapon, which looks like a spear but not a spear, looks like a halberd but not a halberd, and has the feel of a three-pointed two-edged sword, is quite heavy.
Zhang Fei can pick him up and wave him.
But if you want to use it as a portable weapon like Daochang Xia did, it will be beyond your capabilities.
This is not force, what is force?
The way to strength!
Zhang Fei understands.
"Ah! The ghoul, the ghoul appears!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the front.
A ghoul appears.
Xia Yanzhen and the others dared to go that way without saying a word.
Ghouls are devouring corpses.
The surrounding soldiers held torches and did not dare to approach. When they saw Xia Yanzhen and the others arriving, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
To be continued...
