NABC Chapter 143
Chapter 143
For a jianghu person, it takes a lot of energy to cultivate a disciple who is satisfied.
Not to mention the soup, soup, water, and meat nutrition that assist cultivation.
At the beginning, Lu Yuan practiced martial arts, and he needed ten taels of silver a month. One year of refining, that is one hundred and twenty taels of silver.
The qualification of an ordinary person takes about four years to refine a meridian. This is almost to refine a meridian, which requires five hundred taels of silver.
And for a big faction, the disciples under the disciples can be called somewhat accomplished, at least they must be a third-rate strength.
According to this standard, it would take eight years and one thousand taels of silver to cultivate a third-rate disciple.
This is only the most basic consumption, if you count the energy of other teachings, the various unique cultivation resources in the door, the cost should be raised by a few percent.
Even the above is only the consumption of martial artists who have just practiced the two meridians, and they have just entered the third-rate martial arts. If three, four, or five meridians are connected, the cost and expense are doubled.
The elder in front of him had died a son, three apprentices, and a large number of nephews and nephews.
Let’s not talk about the loss of feelings.
In terms of economy, it is equivalent to directly losing tens of thousands of taels of silver, and more than ten years of hard work have come to naught.
Such setbacks, such encounters, in exchange for ordinary people, how many can they endure?
It can be said that without those disciples’ descendants, the future pension of this elder, the rise and fall of the family, there is no guarantee.
The evening scene is bleak, already predictable.
After a lifetime of hard work, who can not cry after such an end?
And such an end is not the only one elder.
These days, there have been many elders of the Seven Star Gate who have suffered this tragedy of white hair and black hair, and even lost their lives.
Many people in the tent have already experienced this kind of tragedy.
And some who have not experienced it, seeing other companions suffer from this, and thinking that they are likely to follow in their footsteps, how can they not feel the same and empathy.
So at this time, watching this elder cry, an atmosphere of sadness and sorrow permeated the tent.
This war is really miserable.
The rebellion was far less than it was originally thought.
After really fighting a few battles with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and feeling this huge casualty, many of the elders of the Seven Star Gate, who had been carried away by the victory, had woken up at this time and began to secretly regret it.
Some have even given birth to retreat and don’t want to fight here anymore.
Anyway, they are all quacks.
Even if after the rebellion, he is wanted by the imperial court, but with his disciples and nephews to change their appearance, and go to other counties to seek a living, can the imperial court still chase him?
Even if it really can’t be done, take people to other countries, and with their own strength, they can also make a name for themselves.
The quacks who have mastered the powerful force still have much more choices than those ordinary people.
However, the Seven Star Gate is their sect in the end, and although some elders have this idea in their hearts, they dare not say it explicitly, or dare not do it.
It’s just that even so, within the army, people’s hearts are gradually dispersed, and all kinds of pessimism are rampant, but they cannot be contained.
As the head of the sect and the commander of the army, Qiao Xiuyuan was naturally keenly aware of the change in the minds of the people under him.
Although in his heart, because of this setback for several days, regret and pessimism were born.
But as the backbone of everyone, he still knows his duty and knows that he can’t let things go on like this.
Therefore, at this time, he saw Qiao Xiuyuan and said, “Elder Wu, what I know about your sacrifice, will not be forgotten in the door.” In this way, in the future, you can select a few descendants from the clan and introduce them into the Seven Star Gate.
Since you lost the camp this time, then you will lead your troops, retreat to the rear first, and repair it.
In the next few days, there will be no need to go to the front. ”
He was so appeased.
However, in the face of these compensations, Elder Wu did not have much comfort, but felt more and more sad.
It’s just that he also knows that it is not easy to be in charge, so although he still has tears in his eyes, he still holds on: “Thank you for being in charge.” ”
After that, he retreated to the side and hid in a corner to be sad alone.
Qiao Xiuyuan glanced at him helplessly, and then looked at the others and said: “Guys, although our army has been broken by officers and soldiers and suffered heavy losses, after fighting for the past few days, the losses of those officers and soldiers are not small, and the casualties have definitely exceeded three thousand.
I can’t bear it, can those officers and soldiers stand it?
Therefore, as long as I hold on a little longer, and wait until those officers and soldiers cannot withstand the casualties and start turmoil, it will be my opportunity to turn defeat into victory. ”
Qiao Xiuyuan continued to boost the morale of his subordinates.
But looking around, the results are not very good. Many of the subordinate elders still looked heavy, and their emotional thoughts did not improve much at all.
This scene made the heart of this leader more and more sad.
Once upon a time, the spirited and invincible Seven Star Gate ended up in such a situation.
For a while, Qiao Xiuyuan didn’t have any heart.
It’s just a big deal, it’s a few more days, it’s really not possible, just quit.” ’
Boss Qiao thought so, and his heart was bitter.
……
In the next few days, Lu Yuan did not continue to stare at the battlefield.
Some people may think that it is a very heroic thing to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield and stain the blood in the battle robe.
But after the actual experience, you will know that this kind of thing, the hero is a hero, but cruelty is also extremely cruel.
Because every hero you make, it means that a person loses his life.
Although you die and I live on the battlefield, if you don’t kill others, there is nothing right or wrong at all.
But staring at this cruel scene is still great for people’s psychological impact and impact.
Although Lu Yuan is not unacceptable to these, after watching it for a long time, he still has some discomfort, there is no serious illness, and no one wants to see more cannibalism.
So I simply didn’t look at it.
Anyway, there are people watching the battlefield, and he only cares whether he can implement it after giving the order.
Three days passed like that.
In the originally set deadline, on the afternoon of the last day, Gu Wei came to restore his life to Master Venerable with a long sword dripping blood.
“Master, after the hard work of the generals and the bloody battle for three days, I first joined the army and then broke the five villages of thieves, and beheaded 2,300 people.”
At this time, this Captain Gu’s body was a little more embarrassed than before, not only his robe was stained with blood, but his body also had an extra scar and his hair was messy.
Today’s last battle, seeing that the deadline has arrived, but the troops can board first, and they will not be able to break the fifth camp for a long time.
Thinking of the military order he had made, Gu Wei was also a little anxious.
So in the end, he personally put on his armor, took his own personal soldiers, and took the lead to rush to the battlefield.
After some fighting, several soldiers died, and even he himself was sworded before he finally broke through the camp.
Now it is finally possible to make a successful delivery.
“Good, you did a good job.”
Lu Yuan glanced at his disciple’s embarrassed appearance, and knew that the other party was also desperate, so he nodded and soothed: “Wait for your senior brother and get a bottle of tonic elixir.” Take a good rest these days, heal your injuries, and improve your internal strength by the way. ”
“Yes, Master Xie rewarded.”
When Gu Wei heard this, his face suddenly became happy.
As a disciple, Gu Weike knew what a precious elixir his master’s elixir was.
That was a pill, and it could save five days of penance. One bottle of ten elixirs, that can save fifty days of penance.
These disciples, don’t mention how hungry they are.
It’s a pity that although the pill of the Spirit Replenishing Pill, Lu Yuan actually did not hide it from them, and showed it to the apprentices in an upright manner.
But if you want to make up the century-old medicinal materials needed for a furnace of elixir, you need at least thousands of taels of silver, and in today’s chaotic times, all kinds of materials are scarce, and the price may double.
And refining a furnace of medicine, in the end, only ten tonic elixirs can be produced, which can only save people fifty days of penance at most.
A thousand taels of silver for fifty days is an unsupportable consumption for many people, even for rich families in general.
It was only Lu Yuan, who had scraped a house and plundered the savings of 100,000 Miao people, that he could afford such a terrifying consumption.
Therefore, even if his disciples were hungry, even if they knew the formula, in the end, none of them would refine it.
Gein, if you practice once or twice, at most you will save two or three months of time, and the effect is not much.
And long-term practice can not support this consumption.
So instead of grabbing those two or three months, it’s better to save money and do other more useful things.
After all, even if they don’t refine pills, for martial artists, the consumption of practicing on weekdays is already a terrifying number.
The cost of thirteen taels of silver a month, even for an officer like Gu Wei, is actually not small.
After handing over the task, Gu Wei did not continue to disturb Lu Yuan, retreated with interest, and then happily went to Zhou Qing, the senior brother, to receive a thousand taels worth of tonic elixirs.
And Lu Yuan also took the time to take a look at the surviving Xiandeng army later.
After eight days of fighting, the original 7,000-strong first troop is now only more than 700 left.
The people who survived can really be said to be more than one in ten, flowing out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.
These seven hundred people gathered together, even if Lu Li saw it, his heart couldn’t help but feel a little cold.
Without it, this fierce and crazy energy is too strong.
Even he had an illusion.
If he rushes up to fight this army, even if he is already first-class now, he may die in the end.
Elite, absolutely elite.
Lu Yuan had this idea in his mind, but then there was a pang of helplessness.
Because he knew that this elite force would never be able to return to his heart.
This is also normal.
After all, if you are forced to act as cannon fodder, fight with the king of Yan in the corpse mountain and sea of blood, and when you finally survive, can you not hate the person who gave this order?
Just like now, when Lu Yuan looked at these soldiers, he could clearly feel that many people’s eyes were full of hatred when they looked at him.
It’s just that most of these eyes are relatively obscure, and after looking at them twice, they converge, and they don’t dare to look at themselves at all.
But there are also some people whose eyes are extremely provocative, as if they have seen life and death, fearless, staring straight at Lu Yuan, full of defiance.
For this, Lu Yuan didn’t bother to think about anything.
After deciding in his heart that the force could not be trusted, he gave it up.
However, although it was abandoned, the promise was fulfilled.
Lu Yuan ordered that the seven hundred people be organized into a battalion, included in the subordinates, and continued to be led by Gu Wei.
The name of the Xiandeng Army can be regarded as completely disbanded.
And this newly formed battalion, he also had a disposal in his heart. In the future, if there are any dangerous actions, difficult work, let these people go on.
Although these soldiers who survived the first to ascend the army were a little rebellious, they also have to say that they were indeed good knives.
If used well, it can work wonders.
I believe that in the future battle to destroy the Seven Star Gate, these soldiers can perform well.
……
After completing the reorganization of the Xiandeng army, without these cannon fodder, Lu Yuan’s attack on the rebel camp did not stop.
As said earlier.
If the first landing army is finished, then his troops will be on it.
Fifteen thousand men under his command, and soon began to attack the rebel camp in turn, according to a batch of 1,000 people.
Of course, as a lineage, the intensity of their attacks is naturally much lower than that of the first troops.
Lu Yuan actually intends to train his soldiers through these low-intensity battles and let them accumulate more actual combat experience.
And the rookie chicken opponents of the Seven Star Gate Rebel Thief have a certain danger, but their strength is not strong, and they are undoubtedly the best training objects.
So this training plan, known as encircling and suppressing the seven stars, officially began in the army.
Time continued to flow, and in the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
In five days, Lu Yuan’s army broke through three more camps, killing and wounding more than 1,000 thieves, and losing even less, killing and wounding more than 700 people.
At this point, it has been half a month since Lu Yuan’s army arrived in Changning.
In half a month, 12,000 thieves have been killed, and the number of thieves left has finally fallen below 10,000.
More than half of the dead and injured can still carry it, which makes Lu Yuan can’t help but sigh in amazement, and sigh that the Seven Star Gate Thief Army is tenacious.
At the same time, I thought in my heart, is this kind of army established by the sect master-apprentice relationship so resilient?
If so, if it is encountered by other sects in the future, it will be a headache to eliminate it.
And at the same time.
Surrounded outside Changning City, the Seven Star Gate, which had been carrying it for half a month, finally waited for a long-awaited fog on the fifteenth day of the first month.
Then a quiet withdrawal took place late at night.
The masters of the Seven Star Gate opened the way in front, relying on their strong martial arts to clear the probing posts they saw along the way.
The army behind fled south along the cleared safe road.
The tacit understanding of this action is definitely a long time ago.
When Lu Yuan got the news, it was still time for the rotation of the sentry to come, and he didn’t see those sentries come back, so he realized that something was wrong.
After the creation probed, it was clear that the rebels of the Seven Star Gate were about to escape.
“Chase! Send an army to chase me! ”
Lu Yuan immediately gathered the generals and gave the order.
After fighting for half a month, seven thousand people died on their side, and finally it was time to reap the fruits, how could they let these thief armies flee just like that.
