Chapter 1 The difference between hypocrisy and victory civilization
Chapter 1 Hypocrisy wins and the difference between civilization
From Xu Jiangzi's point of view, his first battle at the border ended in a disastrous defeat. More than two hundred brothers and sisters who were traveling with him were attacked by the Taiping Army. After a melee, they suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they survived with their lives saved.
There are only more than fifty people, less than half of the original number. It is really terrible.26nbsp;
However, it seems that not everyone thinks so, especially the officers and veterans on the front line. When they first learned that this small team was almost destroyed, they showed no concern, saying that this kind of thing is common and happens every day.
It was not worth making a fuss about, but when they heard that several Taiping masters had also been killed, they were shocked.
Therefore, when Xu Jiangzi woke up, in addition to his younger brother Xu Hezi, what he saw were a large number of frontline officers. They came to express their condolences and expressed concern for Xu Jiangzi's injury. They hoped to learn from the two brothers' mouths about this.
Gain a deeper understanding of the process of the First World War.
"You two are indeed very lucky. The people you met belong to the special black-clad troops of the Taiping Army. The magic weapons they wield are very powerful, and their technical level is far beyond what ordinary soldiers are equipped with.
', usually rarely participate in battles, but as long as they enter the battlefield, they will annihilate all our troops every time. In other words, these people only participate in battles that are absolutely victorious. Once they participate in the battle, they will win..."
It is really shameless to praise the enemy like this and destroy one's prestige. However, Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi are the disciples of the head of Heluo. They have a special status and cannot be coerced and questioned. In order to obtain information from them, the army
The ministry chose to fully inform the front line of the situation in exchange for their understanding and assistance.
From the introductions of these officers, Xu Jiangzi roughly understood that the so-called good luck on his side was, first of all, good luck in encountering several enemies who should not have appeared at all. In ordinary circumstances, in a small-scale battle like this, it is necessary to respond to small-scale battles.
Special forces would never be dispatched to the army's operations, and those men in black should not appear. To be able to meet them can be said to be extremely unlucky, or it can be said to be luck.
The military has set up ambushes many times before, and has also dispatched experts, hoping to capture one or two men in black. Otherwise, even if they kill them on the spot and take the bodies back for study and analysis, they want to learn the secrets of the Taiping Army from them, but these
The actions ultimately ended in failure.
Under the deliberate precautions of the Taiping Army, it is not surprising that these special masters were unable to be captured alive, but it would be absurd to say that they could not even capture a corpse. But that is exactly what happened. The clothes of those men in black contained hidden secrets.
There is a special machine that will destroy the corpse immediately once it is activated. The Dawu army suffered many losses and was unable to obtain even a complete corpse.
This time the Xu Jiangzi brothers fought hard and not only killed several men in black, but also for no apparent reason, the corpses were only damaged on the head, face, hands and feet, and were generally still intact. Coupled with the clues Xu Jiangzi provided, it can be
It was said to be of great help, and it accomplished in one fell swoop a goal that the military had failed to achieve in several major operations.
"Well done! What a beautiful job! You have just arrived here and you have already made great achievements. Your future is limitless!"
The military commander who came to visit gave a thumbs up and left with such compliments. Xu Jiangzi was shocked. In fact, he completely lost consciousness in the second half of the battle and had no idea what was going on or what.
After listening to Xu Hezi's narration, I had a vague impression, but no matter how frantically I tried to fight away those men in black, the most important fact was that almost all of my fellow apprentices who were traveling with him were killed in battle.
There are more than fifty survivors, and the survival rate is less than 30%. The number of dead far outnumbers the injured. It can almost be said that if you lose, you will die. This fact has an extraordinary impact on Xu Jiangzi. With so many people practicing together, this
The brothers who talked and laughed with each other along the way were turned into corpses, never to be seen again, just a simple number on the dead list... This is definitely not something that can be accepted by just saying "I know".
If there is any greater impact than this, it is probably that the military ministers did not mention it and seemed to be completely indifferent. Xu Jiangzi felt as if he was in a ridiculous dream. What exactly was it?
I am still awake, still dreaming? Or has the world gone wrong?
Xu Hezi, who was covered with bandages, was also sitting aside, his face was ashen. He also had Xu Jiangzi's feelings, but he suppressed them and did not resort to words. After all, he was new here, and he was adapting to the rules.
time is not the time to challenge the rules.
After the questioning, the senior military officials said goodbye and left. Neither Xu Jiangzi nor Xu Hezi had the strength to stay or pretend to be polite. Both of them were injured and were exhausted physically and mentally, so they had nothing to say at all.
But when it comes to people, some people still notice their mood.
When all the officers who came to visit were gone, Xu Jiangzi noticed a special person. That person was originally standing at the end of the army of officers, without saying a word and not attracting attention. However, after everyone had gone, he still stood.
In place, this seems very abrupt.
He was a young officer, about the same age as Xu Hezi, maybe two or three years older. He had a sickly and pale face, and his facial features were pretty, but there was a sinister look in his eyes.
, making people unable to have a good impression of him.
Xu Jiangzi was lying down and Xu Hezi was sitting aside. From this angle, he could see far more things than Xu Jiangzi. When he saw this young officer staying behind, he was stunned for a moment. He remembered that this man was standing in the team just now, surrounded by people.
I don’t know whether it’s fear or disgust. People seem to keep a small distance from him and avoid physical contact. Why does this person stay and refuse to leave?
"...the rules at the front line are different from what you are usually familiar with." The young officer said: "We only ask about the results here, and don't care about your efforts. No matter how many things you sacrifice, failure is failure. No one
I will sympathize with you, but no one has the time to sympathize with you. Victory is everything...I am willing to encourage you two."
After saying this, the young officer was about to leave. Xu Jiangzi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the reason why this man stayed was to say these words. Although these words were unpleasant, he was the only one among all the people who realized that he had
People who have a brotherly attitude can't help but have feelings for him
There was a hint of goodwill, and he was about to say thank you when he heard the young officer say: "Although this is a large front line, it will probably fall in a few days. While you are recovering from your injuries, you'd better prepare for relocation, otherwise you will be killed in the hospital bed."
If you are captured by the military, please imagine the consequences for yourself."
As a soldier, it is of course very taboo to predict defeat and loss so blatantly, but when this young officer spoke, he looked calm, without any guilt or uneasiness, as if his defeat had nothing to do with him. This kind of performance fell into the trap.
In the eyes of others, he is very annoying.
Xu Jiangzi's original gratitude to this man was now gone. He asked him slightly angrily, if this place was about to fall, where would he, as an officer here, go?
"Oh, I don't mind your safety. My friend has signed up for a cram school for me. The class will officially start soon. I have to go there to take classes..."
After saying this, the young officer left in front of the two of them. It seemed that he knew that his words and deeds were annoying, so when he turned around and left, he didn't even say a polite word. Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi frowned, faintly
Yueyue felt that this person might cause him a lot of trouble.
Soon after, after inquiring, they learned that the young officer's name was Yin Jie. He seemed to be a son of a powerful man with a good background. He usually lived alone and had few friends. The local military also regarded him as a troublesome figure.
Although they had some bad premonitions about Yin Jie, Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi could not imagine that this person would not only bring trouble to themselves, but that these troubles would last for more than ten years, making them often lament that "it was too late"
I knew I would kill him as soon as I met him." I don't know whether to say fortunate or unfortunate. They are far from the only two people who have this sigh.
After Yin Jie left, Xu Jiangzi asked his brother about the situation and roughly understood what happened. He felt helpless that he was always inexplicably unconscious. Although his body was not that weak, he always lost consciousness easily for some reason.
If it were just like this, that would be fine, but every time after passing out, he would get mad and explode with power that he didn't know where it came from, making a big fuss and becoming invincible.
Xu Jiangzi's life was mediocre and he had no chance to stand out. It was rare for him to be so majestic, but it was quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, every time he was majestic, he didn't know anything. He could only see the strange looks in others' eyes afterwards. This was really disappointing.
He choked.
The last time we made a scene at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, it was both majestic and embarrassing. Afterwards, I was ridiculed by my brothers for a long time, and even gave them a nickname. They were called the Golden Song Singer of the Heluo Sword Sect. It was really shameful.
But that time, no one was killed, and no blood was seen. It was not as cruel as this time, when he directly grabbed the enemy's head and blew it off. When he woke up and heard about it, he was shocked.
"What a pity...should I say it's a step too late?"
Not many people would feel very happy when they heard that they had turned into a cold-blooded murderer. The same was true for Xu Jiangzi. However, he still felt regretful. Even if he became a murderer, it would be fine if such a price could save the "sex" of his fellow disciples.
It's worth it, but it's a pity...it's too late to go crazy, even if you kill the enemy, you can't bring your dead brothers back to life.
Xu Jiangzi felt depressed and swung his fist down hard, but Xu Hezi reached out from the side to stop him and shook his head at his brother.
"This is not the Heluo headquarters, and this wooden bed is not a solid rosewood table. If you punch it like this and break the bed, it will be very troublesome later."
Xu Hezi reminded his brother in this way that the two of them are now in a different place. Being angry can be regarded as a way to vent, but it will not be of any help to the reality, especially since his brother is still shouldering responsibilities and must be in the shortest possible time.
Stand up within the time and adapt to the local situation. Only in this way will it be helpful to other Heluo disciples.
"I think... we should collect more information to understand the magic weapons used by the Taiping Army."
The first point that Xu Jiangzi thought of was this. He had heard various rumors on the road, which described the magic weapons used by the Taiping Army as extremely powerful. At that time, Xu Jiangzi was still cheering for the other brothers. How did he know that in fact, the Taiping Army
The army's magic weapon is only stronger than the rumors say, and even his own brother narrowly escaped death. If this news spreads, it will have a huge blow to morale.
Now that we have reached the front line, everything is no longer blurry. We should know ourselves and the enemy, and have a good understanding of the true face of the Taiping Army. We can do whatever we can to reduce casualties when we meet on the battlefield in the future. This is Xu Jiangzi's idea, but Xu Hezi doesn't seem to think so.
Think so.
"Compared to this, I think...brother, your sudden power, if you can make good use of it, will definitely be of great help to us."
When Xu Hezi spoke, his voice was very low, but he seemed to be deliberately suppressing his emotions. When Xu Jiangzi listened, he could vaguely feel the desire in his younger brother's tone.
"Let's talk about this later. Now... I don't know how I got that kind of power. Even if I want to use it, I can't use it."
While saying this, Xu Jiangzi thought of Ximen Zhuyu and Shanladuo. If there is anyone in the world who can help him in this regard, it is probably these two people.
The two brothers discussed it for a while, but because there was no more data, these discussions were meaningless and basically just small talk.
When the conversation came to an end, Xuhezi went to get food and drinking water for his brother. By the way, he also asked the medical staff outside and found out that this place was called Lijiatun. It was originally a small village. About two months ago, the military headquarters sent people to build a village here.
Supply warehouses and simple hospitals continuously provide supplies to the front line and accept wounded soldiers on the front line.
Originally, the war was still some distance away from this place, but with the defeat of the Dawu Army, this place is now becoming more and more dangerous. The young female nurse who spoke to Xu Hezi whispered to him that they might not be able to defend it this month. Inside the hospital
People are panicked and want to leave here as soon as possible.
"It seems that we came at the wrong time." Xu Hezi said to his brother after returning to his room.
Xu Jiangzi felt that it didn't matter that the situation was bad. He was here as a reinforcement. If he wasn't here to provide help in times of need, could he be here to add glory to the cake and grab credit? The problem was that he had just arrived and was killed to pieces. This was simply not the case.
He is not qualified to be reinforcements. When the army retreats, wounded soldiers like himself will become a burden. Then he is really in the wrong place.
"Brother, you are really kind-hearted. At this time, you are still worried about causing trouble to others. You think about others, but others may not think about you. Be careful when the time comes and you are used as an outcast. Then you will really be crying out for help.
"
Xu Hezi thought that some preparations should be made, and Xu Jiangzi agreed, but neither of the two brothers expected that they would not have much preparation time, because the Taiping Army did not have to wait until the end of the month to capture Lijiatun, and they did not even have a few days.
Just that evening!
For the two brothers Xu Jiangzi, this is indeed an unforgettable experience. The two are discussing how to ask the military for assistance so that the more than fifty Heluo disciples who are in the hospital at the moment can not retreat when they all retreat.
He was left behind and transferred safely, but suddenly he heard a faint explosion outside.
The sound was very far away, at least coming from more than ten miles away. If it weren't for the two brothers' superb internal skills, they wouldn't have been able to hear it. Xu Hezi immediately became alert, picked up the long sword, and wanted to go out to check the situation.
, a doctor who was in the room saw his reaction, and he said calmly that this kind of thing happens often, and it means that the Dawu Army is fighting with the Taiping Army. If there is no accident, the explosion will become stronger after a while, and it will be forced.
'Nearly, but it will end soon. This situation has been going on for quite some time.
Xu Hezi was doubtful, but what the doctor said was indeed right. The sound of the explosion quickly became louder and gradually approached this direction. The doctor showed a proud expression of "no need to make a fuss", and Xu Hezi also
I was about to put my sword down and discuss it with my brother again, but I didn't know that the explosion that was supposed to stop didn't subside and quickly approached here.
"The enemy comes so quickly. Is this the normal situation here?"
Xu Hezi quickly asked. The doctor was stunned for a moment, listened attentively, frowned and smiled bitterly: "This... this is the first time, but things on the battlefield are very difficult to explain. It will probably stop after a while, no need.
What a fuss.”
"That's weird!"
The two brothers Xu Jiangzi were shocked. If they didn't react at this time, it wouldn't be that they were indifferent, but that they would be insensitive.
Although they were injured on their bodies, the two brothers had a deep foundation after all, and they were only skin and flesh injuries, not broken muscles or bones. After a few hours of rest, they had already regained their mobility and quickly raised their swords to prepare. When the doctor saw them
The actions of the two men also advised them not to scare themselves, but to trust the military more, as the Taiping Army's attack would soon stop.
Not only Xu Hezi did not believe this statement, but even Xu Jiangzi was not stupid enough to believe it. However, the doctor believed it firmly. Just when Xu Jiangzi felt doubtful and wanted to ask again to confirm, a sharp sound of breaking wind came from far away.
As it got closer, it turned into an earth-shaking violent impact.
The deafening explosion, the scorching airflow, and the violent shock wave all appeared at the same time. Xu Jiangzi, who had just stepped off the hospital bed with one foot, felt a shock in his ears, and was thrown out by the force, flying with him and the bed.
He fell a few feet away and fell to the ground. His whole body was in severe pain, stars were popping up in his eyes, and he was screaming secretly. If the wooden bed hadn't slightly absorbed the impact, he was even more injured. Now he doesn't know if he could still move.
"Big...big..."
There was a buzzing in the ears, and a faint human voice was heard. It was very unclear. Xu Jiangzi stood up straight and found that the whole room had been plunged into a sea of fire. His younger brother Xu Hezi looked at him with a nervous expression, and his hearing was still there.
When he recovered, he heard clearly that he was asking if he was okay. As for the doctor who was originally in the room, his bloody body had been swallowed up by the flames.
Xu Jiangzi said: "What is the magic weapon used by the Taiping Army? It's so powerful! At least half of the house was blown up this time."
Xu Hezi said: "There is no time to worry about this. If there is a second wave, we will all die without a burial place. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
This sentence has the greatest practical significance. The two people ran out of the room and found that there was already a doomsday scene with people lying on their backs outside. The dead, injured, corpses, blood stains, crying and wailing, the scene was a mess, and the dying people were moaning on the ground.
'Yan', those who still had one breath were busy running for their lives. Even if the two of them rushed out and shouted to calm down, no one would pay them any attention.
I originally wanted to go outside and take care of all the Heluo children in the hospital first, but in this situation, it is simply impossible. In addition to the dense explosions outside, I can also hear the shouts of killing getting closer and closer. The Taiping Army's attack has arrived.
In Lijiatun, the current problem is not only evacuation and refuge, but also a close encounter with the enemy and a head-on fight.
"Brother, get out first!"
"You go down and take a look at the situation. I'm going to take a look at the situation on this floor. We must not let our disciples die here unjustly."
Xu Jiangzi's persistence aroused opposition from his younger brother. The scene was already burned like this. The Taiping Army's firearms were so sharp and unimaginable that no flesh and blood could withstand it. If a second wave of attacks came again, this building would collapse at any time.
It will collapse, and it is too dangerous to stay here to save people.
"I know, but..."
What comes after the word "but" is completely unimportant, because the Taiping Army's second wave of attacks had already arrived at this time, and there was another strange sound breaking through the air. Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi looked at each other.
, knowing that the situation was not good, he didn't even have time to find the stairs, so he rushed into the fire ahead, kicked open the door, entered the room on the other side, and jumped out of the broken window there.
It took almost two people to jump like this. The familiar shock behind them was accompanied by flames and storms. This wave of attacks from the Taiping Army was more powerful than the previous ones. Several inexplicable magic weapons hit the building at the same time.
On the one hand, an explosion exploded, and the entire building was swallowed up by fire in an instant. If Xu Jiangzi and the two had not broken the window and jumped out in time, they would have become charred corpses inside.
The two of them were in mid-air and were swept by the fire storm. They were thrown out by this huge force and fell heavily to the ground. Xu Jiangzi broke a small tree, and Xu Hezi's body was still on fire. He rolled a few times before suppressing the flames.
They were all in a panic, but fortunately they were not injured. When they stood up and looked at the burning building, their expressions were not ordinary ugly.
No human voices or shouts were heard, but anyone with a clear eye could see that with such a raging fire and hot tongues of flame spitting out from every window, not a single person in the building would be left alive, no matter what was inside.
The medical staff, wounded soldiers, and the children of Heluo who were recuperating inside have all become victims in the fire.
Xu Jiangzi was shocked and angry. The ferocity of the Taiping Army's attack was beyond imagination. Logically speaking, even if the two countries were fighting, they should abide by certain principles and avoid some taboo places, but the Taiping Army actually chose hospitals as their priority.
The brutality of the attack on the target is outrageous.
"Are these guys... still human?"
Xu Jiangzi's muttering to himself was exactly what Xu Hezi was thinking, but for a different reason. Xu Jiangzi had also seen some sharp firearms and extremely powerful explosives before. On the way to this place, he heard
People have talked about the Taiping Army's powerful magic weapon, and have experienced it deeply in actual combat, but he has never seen or heard of anyone or any martial arts who can destroy a house with one blow.
How can the officers and soldiers resist the Taiping Army's overwhelming force? No wonder they have been defeated in consecutive battles. It is incredible that they can survive until now. How could I know about this if I had not personally gone to the front line? Is the military still hiding it?
How many things did it take?
However, it is impossible to pursue these issues now, because after the series of bombings, the Taiping Army troops finally entered this place, and they rushed here from the beginning. Before the two brothers Xu Jiangzi could take a few steps, they saw
A large group of Taiping troops came over to fight.
Of course, it was not just the Taiping Army who came here, but also the retreating Dawu Army. The battle that took place between the two made Xu Jiangzi and his wife stunned. They actually witnessed what they had only heard about in rumors.
Something I haven't had the chance to see in the last battle.
From Xu Jiangzi's point of view, the quality of the swords used by the imperial officers and soldiers was not bad. After all, they were frontline troops. These swords were made of fine steel and were of high quality. However, the ordnance used by the Taiping Army was really weird.
Everyone holds the hilt of the sword and shakes it in the wind, and it turns into a beam of light.
It is bright and dazzling, and the place where this beam of light cuts is as sharp as iron, and it can easily cut off the swords and bodies of officers and soldiers. Usually, once the strong light passes, a human body is left on the ground that has been cut into two sections, and the incision looks like a cut.
The high-heat flame burned them, but there was no blood. They were all charred black, and some even appeared to be melting.
"What the hell is this?"
In the previous battle with the Taiping Army, the magic weapons used by those soldiers were all machines that erupted with flames and poison. Although the production level of the machines was very high and I had never seen it before, it was still something that could be understood and imagined. However,
, Now this kind of sword of light, the sword of light, let alone seeing or hearing about it, even if I have never thought about it, Xu Jiangzi even feels that this is a weapon from heaven and the fairy world, and does not belong to the human world.
After a brief shock, Xu Jiangzi began to feel great panic. Heluo Sword Sect has a long history and has many excellent sword techniques. Even if it encounters extremely powerful swords and swords, there are ways to deal with them. As long as soft strikes hard, the enemy can be skillfully defeated.
He can still fight with his sharp edge. Xu Jiangzi usually practices these techniques and even has some experience, but at this moment... he is not sure whether his sword techniques can seal these lightsabers and lightsabers?
Not to mention converting energy, discharging force, and avoiding sharp edges, Xu Jiangzi thought to himself, as long as his sword comes into contact with the light saber, the light saber will be broken immediately, and he will be killed on the spot without using any superior swordsmanship.
"How to fight this kind of battle...how to fight this kind of battle?"
Xu Jiangzi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, but the situation did not allow him to think. The chaotic battle had come to him, and he even discovered a strange phenomenon. When the Taiping Army came to the hospital,
Looking at the burning building, and then at the two brothers Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi, after a brief look, someone shouted "They are not dead, they are here", and dozens of Taiping soldiers came towards this direction.
Rush over and fight.
Xu Jiangzi just wanted an explanation for the strange situation, and that was...the reason why the Taiping Army attacked the hospital and even rushed directly to Lijiatun was not accidental. They came to target his brother.
Such treatment is really flattering. It is hard for Xu Jiangzi to imagine that he has become such an important figure at some point. If it were his younger brother Xu Hezi, it would be more respectable. After all, Xu Hezi has been regarded as such in the world.
He is a popular candidate to take over the Heluo Sect in the future, and he is considered an important figure. As for himself... he is no match for the important figure!
After a slight hesitation, two lightsabers were already coming towards him. Xu Jiangzi felt heat rising on his face and quickly turned sideways to avoid it. Although the enemy's martial arts seemed to be low and his body skills had many flaws, Xu Jiangzi was worried about the power of the lightsabers.
Don't dare to rush in too much, lest you be carried by the lightsaber, and your own protective energy will be unable to absorb it. If you lose an arm for no reason, that will be very bad.
With such scruples in his heart, Xu Jiangzi could only keep retreating for a while. On the other side, the dilemma faced by Xu Hezi was not much better. He knew that his weapons could not withstand these light knives and lightsabers in front of him.
, and can only dodge.
"Damn it, what kind of hero can you be if you rely on the strength of weapons?"
Xu Hezi cursed in a low voice, but the enemy did not respond except swinging his sword to attack. If you look carefully, these people really don't look like heroes. They all have angry eyebrows and fierce looks on their faces. Let alone heroes, I'm afraid
They can't even be called good people. If you expect them to have some backbone and warrior spirit and use ordinary weapons to fight against you, then your brain is really burned out.
"...If everyone's conditions were the same, I would have killed you all long ago..."
The enemy's weapons are powerful, but their martial arts skills are not that good, and they don't look like they have been trained for a long time. They just make a few simple chops here and there, and they are full of flaws. However, the weapons in their hands are powerful and difficult to deal with. It is really hateful.
Xu Hezi watched the light and shadow flashing in front of his eyes, a high fever hit his face, and the anger in his heart gradually increased. His martial arts was obviously stronger than these bastards. If he really wanted to fight, if dozens of these people fought together, they would not be his opponent, but
Now I am being 'forced' into danger by these bastards, so... what's the point of this?
"...If I also had this kind of weapon, these people...these 'rebellious' parties..."
Xu Jiangzi also felt such unwillingness and anger. Xu Hezi was arrogant and his feeling would only become deeper. When this feeling accumulated to the top, he suddenly had an idea, roared and reached out to grab it to the side.
