The Emperor is Above

Chapter 214: What happened in the Battle of Dunyu?
"Huh? It's the Eagle Guard!"

Daniu covered his forehead with one hand, looked up at the sky, and asked in a muffled voice, "You've come to the doorstep, why are you suddenly running back?"

Hundreds of private armies, militiamen, and young and strong men who were busy in the surrounding area put down what they were doing and looked at the three falcons behaving abnormally in the distant sky.

The three ferocious birds seemed to be extremely frightened and flew desperately towards the western sky. The three eagle guards wearing armor on the eagles' backs were a little surprised.

"cry--"

"Chirp—"

Under the forced control of the three Flying Eagle Guards, the three falcons stopped fleeing after flying more than ten miles, but they still circled restlessly and slowly landed after a long time.

When Qing Yi saw this, he had a guess in his mind and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Those three falcons must have been frightened by the dozens of dragon vultures on the east side of the hill. Dongmen Tiger and Dongmen Leopard, take a few mounts and follow me to welcome them."

"Yes, my lord!"

Dongmen Tiger and Dongmen Leopard smiled at each other. In the past, everyone envied the ferocious birds of the Flying Eagle Guards, but now the dragon vultures gathered on the solitary hill almost scared them.

Soon, six ordinary giant-hoofed wild horses were brought from the stable. These were the mounts captured by the Lone Hill militia. They followed Qing Yi and rode to the landing site more than ten miles away.

In late autumn, the wilderness has less precipitation and is much drier. The ground covered with weeds gradually becomes hard. As long as you avoid large and small puddles, it is very suitable for galloping on horseback, and more than ten miles of road will pass in the blink of an eye.

Three falcons could be seen from afar, still chirping anxiously. Several Eagle Guards tried their best to calm their flying cavalry.

Qing Yi couldn't help but smile and bowed while riding on his horse, saying loudly: "It turns out that it is Sima Yan and the two brothers who came to visit Guqiu. I haven't seen you for a few months. I hope you are doing well!"

Sima Yan was a little embarrassed at this time. He held the falcon's trembling head with both hands and tried to comfort it. At the same time, he looked at Qing Yi, shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying:

“Brother Yi, where did you get such a large group of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures? These are third-grade vicious birds known for their brutality and cruelty.

I always thought that this Falcon Falcon Rider was a seventh-grade fierce bird that was powerful enough. I was almost frightened just now by surprise, and I haven’t recovered for a long time.”

An Eagle Guardian also tried to comfort his cavalry while covering his chest. His face turned pale as he echoed, "Yes, just now my 8th-grade ferocious bird almost fell from mid-air. We tried our best to control it and it barely landed here. It refused to approach the lonely hill again. It was really scary!"

The last Eagle Guard was unable to speak at this time. He could only wave and say hello, while holding his poor falcon in his arms and gasping for breath while covering his chest.

Having frightened his old friends like this, Qing Yi dismounted and bowed apologetically, saying, "I apologize to the three brothers. These Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures are actually my friends.

A few days ago, the wild people from the wilderness attacked with all their might, many of them were powerful, and the Solitary Hill was in danger. Thanks to their timely arrival and help, I was able to kill the powerful enemy and defeat the 50,000-strong coalition of wild people.

However, after a great battle, even though the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture is a third-grade vicious bird, many of them were injured, so they temporarily stayed near the Solitary Hill to recuperate and will leave after a while."

"Oh——"

The Eagle Guard, who had been silent just now, had just recovered a little and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Yi, you are really amazing. You can become friends with the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagles and let them take the initiative to help you fight. It's amazing!"

Sima Yan thought seriously, "Dozens of third-grade Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures were injured in the battle. It seems that the wild folk coalition attacking Guqiu Fengtu is indeed powerful. Before, Bai Ze said that you led Guqiu Fengtu to defeat a wild folk coalition of 50,000 people and killed many powerful wild folks from the Black Wind Tribe and the Ghost Witch Tribe. Everyone was skeptical, but now it seems to be true."

The three men left their falcons and other ferocious birds where they were, and while chatting with Qing Yi, they rode towards the solitary hill. When they walked several miles away, their expressions became increasingly serious.

Ten miles away from the solitary hill, one could still see traces of the fierce battle everywhere on the surrounding wasteland, large patches of wild grass stained with black and brown blood, and ashes left by the fire.

The ground was littered with body parts that had not yet been cleaned up, remains eaten by wild beasts, broken weapons and armor, and mountains of wild folk's heads in the distance.

Sima Yan pointed to the distance and said in shock, "Brother, are you going to build a Jingguan after the war to intimidate the people in the Daze?"

Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, explaining, "After the battle, we cleaned up the battlefield and captured more than 30,000 heads of barbarians. All of them had to be soaked in lime and medicine to prevent rotting and plague. After the battle, we will present them to the king, so that we can count the military merits, right?

Moreover, after this battle, the tribes of Jiming Lake suffered heavy losses. Their fate may not last long, so there is no need to build a Jingguan to deter the tribes. "

Thirty thousand heads of wild people were piled together. Even though most of them had been treated with lime and potions, they still emitted a strong stench of blood. They were processed three or four miles west of the Solitary Hill Mound.

Looking at the heads of the barbarians piled up into a small mountain, each with a look of fear, terror, and despair on his face, Sima Yan carefully examined them for a long time before he said in shock:

"Thirty thousand heads of barbarians, all of them are heads of young and strong men. Captain Bai Ze originally said that you defeated the fifty thousand barbarian coalition forces. I always thought that you meant repelling the fifty thousand barbarian coalition forces. I didn't expect that you actually annihilated more than thirty thousand enemies."

Dongmen Hu smiled and added: "Sima Yan may not know that we beheaded 30,000 people, not just 30,000 wild people coalition soldiers, but also many wild people's heads were broken into pieces in the battle and were not included in the statistics.

At least 40,000 wild folks were killed in this battle. The remaining 10,000 wild folks were driven all the way to Luqiu by our lord and others, and were defeated by Bai Ze Duwei, Xuanjiaqi and Luqiu defenders. "

The more they learned about the many achievements of Guqiu in this battle, the more shocked the three Eagle Guards were: "Completely annihilated the 50,000-strong army of wild people? The more than 1,000 corpses here are all totem warriors from various tribes of wild people."

"Oh my god, there are high-level totem warriors who are comparable to fourth-grade martial artists. More than 30 of them died here in one go. Judging from the totem tattoos, in addition to the barbarians from the Jiming Lake, there are also high-level totem warriors from the Black Wind Tribe and the Ghost Witch Tribe."

"Look here, there are more than a hundred intermediate totem warriors and thousands of primary totem warriors. Even in the great victory in Dunqiu a few days ago when a 100,000-strong coalition of wild folks was wiped out, there were not so many wild folk totem warriors."

An Eagle Guard could not help but mutter, "During the Battle of Dunqiu, Prince Xing was bragging about how he led the army to wipe out the 60,000-strong coalition of wild people in Luqiu.

Everyone knows what happened in the Battle of Luqiu. Even if the Crown Prince was in charge of annihilating all the enemies, the results were still far inferior to those in the Battle of Guqiu."

Gongsun Wu heard his muttering and couldn't help but chuckled, "How could it be close? In addition to these totem warriors, we also have the bodies of the Ghost Witch Tribe's chief witch, the beast soul warriors, and the heads of various wild tribes. They are all treated with potions and prepared to be presented to the Lord.

As for the cat ghost god servant, the ghost king's Dharma body, and the coiled snake corpse, they were not convenient to transport and were not preserved, so they were not included in the calculation. If Gu Qiu had not eliminated the powerful wild people in this battle, it would have been difficult to eliminate the other three wild people coalitions. "

Sima Yan was shocked and delighted. He held Qing Yi's hand and said excitedly, "In the three great battles of Guqiu, Luqiu, and Dunqiu, the forces of the barbarians in Jiming Lake were almost annihilated. This cancer that has plagued the capital for hundreds of years is finally going to be completely solved."

Qing Yi pondered and said, "Sima Yan, why don't you tell me what the Battle of Dunqiu was like?"

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I would like to wish all my readers a happy new year.
