Chapter 55: Garrison in Hexi County
Now that he has raised his cultivation to the Xiantian realm, he can kill all the thousands of Rongdi soldiers by himself. This is a good opportunity.
The Rongdi army ran away, and Sheng Huaian naturally wanted to harvest a wave of killing points for the remaining 1,000 slow-running Rongdi soldiers to quickly improve his cultivation.
Hu Bing, Wang Wu and others heard Sheng Huaian telling them not to grab heads and just surround them. Although they didn't know why Sheng Huaian didn't let them grab heads, they did it. The cavalry rushed up and blocked the way of more than 1,000 Rongdi soldiers.
Sheng Huaian rushed into the abandoned crowd of Rongdi soldiers and started killing. The long spear in his hand kept harvesting the lives of Rongdi soldiers, and the killing value kept rising.
Seeing Sheng Huaian killing like a killing god, many Rongdi soldiers dropped their weapons and ran away.
Resist?
A Xiantian strong man and a group of martial arts apprentices, what can the martial artists use to resist?
The Rongdi soldiers who dropped their weapons and fled were driven back by Hu Bing, Wang Wu and others.
Sheng Huaian fired a shot, and the golden true energy was like a blade, instantly killing more than a dozen Rongdi soldiers, and each shot took the lives of more than a dozen Rongdi soldiers.
A layer of bloody evil spirit also condensed on him, like a layer of blood-red mist, shrouding the golden aura, making him look like a god or a demon.
Many Rongdi soldiers were shocked and knelt down, shouting for mercy and surrender.
But Sheng Huaian couldn't understand it at all. These more than a thousand Rongdi soldiers were killed by him without leaving a single prisoner.
Seeing Sheng Huaian's murderous nature, Wang Wu and others were frightened by the murderous aura on Sheng Huaian.
"Captain, are you going the way of killing?" Wang Wu swallowed his saliva.
"Who dares to believe this? Captain, you used to be a scholar, a scholar?!" Hu Bing couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
The scholar was so cruel when killing people, he didn't even blink an eye.
There were thousands of Rongdi soldiers, and they were slaughtered without blinking an eye.
The ground was full of corpses, and blood flowed like a river. Sheng Huaian wiped the blood off his face, and the iron spear in his hand was dripping with blood.
More than a thousand Rongdi soldiers provided him with 3,467 killing points.
Sheng Huaian felt no burden at all for killing these foreign Rongdi soldiers.
He glanced at the golden light screen:
Name: Sheng Huaian
Race: Human
Realm: Early Innate Stage (+)
Kung Fu: ["Da Ri Xin Jing" (minor success)] ["Rough Bull Strength" (minor success)] (+) ["Blood Evil Sword Technique" (major success)] (deduction) ["Overlord Spear Technique" (minor success)]
Strength: 45,000 jin
Talent: Sharpshooter
Kill Value: 13717
System Upgradeable (+)
Looking at the kill value of more than 10,000, Sheng Huaian's mouth was crooked with a smile, which was harder to suppress than AK.
Today, he killed more than 2,000 Rongdi enemy soldiers by himself, and his kill value was unprecedentedly rich.
At the same time, he finally saw the change of this golden finger.
The system can be upgraded. Is it going to be upgraded to T1 version?
Is it currently T0 version? !
Sheng Huaian grinned. Is he still playing with upgrading to a newer version?
But why is it displayed as upgradeable after the killing value exceeds 10,000? Does it mean that it needs to consume 10,000 killing points to upgrade?
This...
Sheng Huaian said that he felt that the current T0 version was quite useful and did not need to be upgraded.
Putting aside the research for the time being, Sheng Huaian led the army and began to enter the city.
County Magistrate Chen and Guo Xiaoping and others had already opened the city gate to welcome them into the city.
As for the corpses, horses, and supplies that the Rongdi army did not have time to take away when they fled outside the city, someone would naturally come to deal with them, and Sheng Huaian did not need to worry about it.
"Welcome General Sheng, on behalf of all the people in Hexi County, I thank General Sheng for his rescue, repelling the Rongdi army, and saving the entire Hexi County." County Magistrate Chen bowed and thanked sincerely.
This is the grace of saving his life, and he should bow to Sheng Huaian on behalf of the people of Hexi County.
Sheng Huaian did not stop him, but just said: "This is the duty of our generation of soldiers, there is no need to do this."
He deserved this great gift. If the people who came this time did not have innate cultivation, they could not save Hexi County at all.
Sheng Huaian led his men into the city and was warmly welcomed by the people of Hexi County. If Sheng Huaian had not led the army to defeat the Rongdi army, they would have fallen under the iron cavalry of the Rongdi people.
Looking at the enthusiastic people on both sides of the streets in the city, Sheng Huaian was deeply moved. He was dressed in bright clothes and rode on horses, holding spears and armor, guarding the peace of one side. This is a general, this is a soldier.
Amid the cheers of the people, Sheng Huaian's troops were taken to the barracks by County Magistrate Chen.
Now the army in Hexi County has almost been killed and wounded, with only more than 200 remnants left. Sheng Huaian's troops temporarily took over the task of garrison and defense.
"General Sheng, please rest here for now. I will welcome you tonight. I will report your contributions to the court and ask for your credit." County Magistrate Chen said to Sheng Huai Nian.
Looking at Sheng Huaian in front of him, the young face was already quite majestic and heroic. He must be an enviable young general.
"Okay, County Magistrate Chen, you go and do your work. My troops will take over the city defense for the time being." Sheng Huaian nodded and said.
Now that there are no soldiers in Hexi County, he can only take over the defense of this county. The war has just ended, and many things need to be handled by County Magistrate Chen, the chief officer.
"Then I will accompany the general for a few drinks tonight." County Magistrate Chen bowed and left.
Chen County Magistrate was responsible for appeasing the people, providing relief to the fallen soldiers, arranging people to deal with the bodies, and other matters.
Sheng Huaian's troops suffered 200 casualties. The fallen soldiers could only be buried in Hexi County, and the injured soldiers were sent for treatment.
After taking over the city defense, Sheng Huaian was not idle. He asked Wang Wu to take scouts to investigate whether the Rongdi army had really retreated. He also asked Guo Xiaoping to lead 500 people to take over the north city wall, and Tang Yunshan to take over the south city gate with 100 people.
Hai Dahe led 100 soldiers to patrol the city, deter the scoundrels, and maintain the stability of Hexi County.
After seeing the strength of Sheng Huaian, Chen County Magistrate became petty and wrote to the court and the Anning Pass garrison, asking Sheng Huaian to guard the entire Hexi.
Sheng Huaian was inspecting the wounded camp at this time, and he didn't know what Chen County Magistrate was planning.
In the wounded camp, there were wounded soldiers under his command and county soldiers from Hexi County.
"Captain!"
"General!"
The wounded soldiers all greeted Sheng Huaian.
"Soldiers, please be at ease and receive treatment. I will ask County Magistrate Chen to find more doctors to treat you. I hope you will get better as soon as possible, and we will fight the enemy together again." Sheng Huaian encouraged.
After comforting the wounded, Sheng Huaian saw another man lying on the ground in the uniform of a captain.
"Who is this?"
"General, this is our captain Wu Cheng. He fought hard against two Rongdi masters and was seriously injured and dying." A wounded soldier said.
It turned out to be the captain of Hexi County. No wonder he didn't see it. It turned out to be dying.
Sheng Huaian took out a healing pill from his collection, opened Wu Cheng's mouth, and fed it.
As for whether he can survive, it depends on Wu Cheng's luck.
After inspecting the wounded camp, Sheng Huaian came to see the captured war horses. There were more than 3,000 intact war horses. Together with their 2,000 war horses, 5,000 war horses were enough to form 5,000 cavalry.
But this was just Sheng Huaian's wish. Now he was just a lieutenant and could only command 2,000 soldiers.
In the evening, the firewood pile was burning in the military camp. County Magistrate Chen brought a lot of meat, wine and food to entertain Sheng Huaian's troops.
"County Magistrate Chen, don't drink the wine. Everyone should drink tea and wine. Eat and drink well." Sheng Huaian would not let his subordinates drink. Now that the war has just ended, they must not be careless.
"I was confused. Let's drink the wine next time and eat meat." County Magistrate Chen apologized immediately.
It seems that Sheng Huaian is different from others. After winning a battle, he will celebrate with a big celebration banquet.
"General Sheng, our county's soldiers have been crippled. Please take care of them before the imperial court sends troops." County Magistrate Chen offered tea instead of wine to Sheng Huaian.
"This is my duty." Sheng Huaian nodded.
He had no idea that County Magistrate Chen was plotting against him and wanted to keep him here.
"I heard that General Sheng was a scholar before, why did he give up literature and join the military?" County Magistrate Chen asked.
Sheng Huaian took a look at County Magistrate Chen, who was twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite young.
He became a county magistrate at such a young age, so he must be either talented or have someone in the imperial court.
"I have longed for a military life and fighting against foreign races since I was a child. Studying was just my father's request. After my father passed away, I joined the army." Sheng Huaian lied with his eyes open.
Wang Wu, who was standing beside him, twitched his mouth.
If he hadn't known that Sheng Huaian was a conscripted man, he would have believed it.
"General Sheng is so young and already a congenital strongman, his future is limitless." County Magistrate Chen boasted.
He had only heard of such a young congenital strongman before, but had never seen one.
"There, there."
The two chatted and got familiar with each other.
...
This reward celebration banquet was simple, just eating meat, drinking soup and eating meat, Sheng Huaian did not allow drinking.
In the next few days, Sheng Huaian was training the army. After all, he now had 1,500 new soldiers under his command, and his combat effectiveness could not be improved without training.
County Magistrate Chen was also busy with the aftermath of the war.
On this day, Sheng Huaian received an order from General Yang Ye, asking him to temporarily guard Hexi County and not to rush back.
Sheng Huaian did not think much about it. Wang Wu took the scouts to patrol, and the Rongdi army did retreat, which meant that Hexi County would be able to be peaceful for a while.
