Han Xuan and the powerful men returned to the camp one after another. All the way were the soldiers who were injured in the battle just now. When they entered the tent, Ouyang Zhe and other soldiers were already waiting among them. Han Xuan looked not good-looking, and sat in the main seat of the tent and asked, "How are the casualties in this battle?"
Qi Tianyun stepped out and said, "A Xuan, this battle eliminated about 130,000 demon soldiers, including 70,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, and less than 20,000 archers and 1,000 pseudo-demon saints. Our army suffered heavy losses. The two cavalry regiments that rushed to the front were wiped out, including the commanders of the War Saint level, all were wiped out in total 30,000. The War Saint Attack and Annihilation regiment under the two wings attacked Leng Jian, which had no extensive range of retreat. However, eighty-nine War Saints died, and the infantry suffered great casualties. Because the infantry who accidentally broke into the poison smoke area at that time could not retreat at all, all were killed, with a total of up to 50,000. Later, when the retreat was pursued by the demon army, nearly 20,000 people were killed, and the losses of a total of 100,000 troops were lost in this battle."
Everyone was silent when they heard the comparison of the numbers. Although the loss of the 100,000 to 130,000 seems to be smaller than that of the 130,000, the loss of the 100,000 is smaller, but you should know that the opponent's casualties were caused by the charge. If the 100,000 team did not conduct effective blocking of the enemy under Ouyang Zhe's arrangement, and caused huge casualties to the demon army before the two sides caught fire, but instead engaged in close combat at the beginning, the number of casualties would not be the result.
At this time, except for some young people such as Han Xuan, the others were all generals who had experienced battle formations. They knew the truth clearly. Therefore, in this battle, it was not only because the empire had an advantage in the number of casualties, but in fact, they still lost. There were only a thousand demon soldiers who carried poison smoke and exchanged their lives for their lives in this battle. God knows how many such poisons there are in the demon race. Although Han Xuan did not experience this poison personally, it seems to be even more powerful than the blood poison he had in the past.
After thinking for a while, Han Xuan looked up and said, "The generals also asked them to return to the camp to rectify the morale of the army. If we lose this battle, we will be defeated by poisonous smoke. If the demon warriors are brave, our military strength is not weak. It can be said that it is in the 55th. I will invite the extremely alchemist to discuss the issue of poisonous smoke, hoping that a solution can be found as soon as possible."
After the generals left, Han Xuan said to Leng Jian: "A Jian can see that the elite team is very strong in this battle, but the recruitment of the strong must continue. I know that you have a very good relationship with all the War Saints in the attack and annihilation regiment led by you, so you must also be mourning. As the commander, don't let your emotions affect other soldiers."
"I know!" Leng Jian's murderous aura seemed to have not dissipated yet, and he nodded with a cold face.
Then Han Xuan said to Qi Tianyun: "Brother, please contact me and invite other powerful men at the rank of the emperor, especially those alchemists, must be present. We must make a post-war summary for this battle and tell them what we have experienced."
After hearing this, Qi Tianyun agreed, and then Han Xuan said to Ouyang Zhe: "Uncle Ouyang, you are very successful in this battle as the commander-in-chief. The final defeat was caused by our insufficient enemy and has nothing to do with you. I have a great responsibility. At the same time, I think before finding a way to control poison smoke, we should try our best to avoid large-scale conflicts with the demons. What do you think?"
"You are right. It is indeed not easy to engage in large-scale wars at this time. I will arrange for each battalion to carry out a defensive offensive, but I am afraid that some masters will be needed in Ajian's attack and annihilation regiment to help prevent the demons from sneak attacking the camp."
Han Xuan looked at Leng Jian, nodded when he saw him, and then said, "You can discuss this with Leng Jian. You have the final say on how to arrange it. The other five divine beasts will take turns to cooperate with you in defense during this period."
The five-sided beasts would not have any idea about Han Xuan's opinion, so they agreed happily. After saying that, Leng Jian, Qi Tianyun, Ouyang Zhe and others all left the camp, leaving Shangguan Lingxue alone by Han Xuan's side. Seeing Han Xuan's thoughtful look, Shangguan Lingxue brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Han Xuan and said, "I know you are sad, but you must not be depressed. War will inevitably lead to death and injury. A failure is nothing. The sooner the problem is exposed, the better."
Han Xuan looked at Shangguan Lingxue and nodded: "I know all of these, but if I were stronger, I would not be helpless against these demons."
"Don't worry, when the talisman masters come, we can discuss together and find a good way."
At this moment, a guard outside the tent said loudly: "General Han, Lu Qianshan, and Sima Tu, two masters, asked for a meeting!"
"Please!"
Lu Qianshan automatically stayed in the camp where Han Xuan was, presided over the soul refining formation. Sima Tu naturally became one of the great formation talisman masters to assist him. Han Xuan knew that the two of them must tell him about the situation during the war just now. As soon as they entered the tent and waited for Han Xuan to ask, Lu Qianshan immediately said: "Han Xuan doesn't know that the number of casualties on both sides of the battle can be counted?"
"There are only one approximate number. Our side has 100,000. The demon race should be more than 130,000. How about it? What's the result? How is your side?"
"My soul refining array has been opened with all its strength, and it has only attracted 60,000 living souls. At first, it can still be on par with the other party, but over time, as our soul power is consumed too much, it will be better than the soul gathering banner. If the time is longer, it will probably be worse. The worst thing is that once the soul refining array is opened, if the formation talisman master who presides over the formation undergoes temporary rotation, it will definitely affect the effect of the soul gathering."
"That's how the soul refining array has not achieved the expected effect, but it's no wonder that the strongest part of the soul refining array itself is not his soul refining, but soul refining. But in this way, our plan seems to need some changes." Han Xuan muttered to himself thoughtfully.
Lu Qianshan and Sima Tu looked at each other, wondering what Han Xuan had noticed. Lu Qianshan continued, "How to deal with these 60,000 living souls? If they were kept in the soul refining array, they would probably increase the consumption of the formation talisman master in the future in the future."
Han Xuan nodded and said, "Oh, don't worry about this. I will enter the soul refining array now. I have a place to let them stay."
After saying that, he stood up and turned around and said to Shangguan Lingxue: "Xue'er, you're here to wait. If all seniors come, let them wait for a moment and say I'll be there later."
Then Han Xuan, Lu Qianshan and Sima Tu walked out of the tent together and soon arrived at the location of the soul refining array. The soul refining array was uniformly arranged by Han Xuan in the underground deep in the camp. First, the environment here is more suitable for the existence of souls, and second, it is the most secret here and it is not easy to be discovered by the demons. At the same time, when setting up the formation, Han Xuan also specially combined the major talisman masters to arrange a powerful barrier in six directions, up, down, left and right, in order not to allow the demons to easily enter here for destruction.
Han Xuan entered the soul refining formation alone and came to the center of the formation. He saw dense soul bodies wandering here in a daze. A gloomy soul power fluctuated, as if he was coming to the underworld. Han Xuan could not tell which of these soul bodies came from the demon army and which were from the imperial soldiers, but he still bowed deeply to these people. After all, it was because of war that these people lost their lives.
Then Han Xuan said softly: "Are you ready? If I can, I will start to take them into the Soul Jade."
A white light lit up from Han Xuan's chest, and then a white hazy figure stood beside Han Xuan, still wearing a green long dress. Xiaoyu, who was not stained with a trace of mortal world, looked at Han Xuan with a smile and nodded.
Xiaoyu stretched out his jade hand and pointed forward, and a white light gate appeared. Han Xuan didn't say much when he saw this. He continued to form seal techniques in his hand and clicked before the light gate. A five-pointed star suddenly appeared in front of the light gate. When the soul body that was constantly wandering in the formation came near the five-pointed star, it immediately drilled into the five-pointed star and disappeared. When it appeared again, it had already arrived before the light gate, and then entered the light gate without hesitation.
Seeing more and more souls entering the Light Gate, Han Xuan asked Xiaoyu beside him: "This is just a battle, there are so many souls. I don't know how many more battles will be larger than this one, and this is only a small part. I don't know if it can be installed in the Soul Jade."
"You don't have to worry about this. The space of the soul jade may be limited to you with physical bodies, but it seems endless to the illusory soul bodies. There are so many that can be installed. After entering the soul jade, they will lose consciousness and become a ball floating in the space I designated for them. Unless it is my permission, even if the God of War comes, they will not be able to find them."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine such a magical treasure, but as a weapon spirit, you should be stronger."
"Haha, the spirit of the weapon is distinguished based on the strength of the master. Xiaodouzi and I were originally hiding high cultivation. It was because the master asked us to obey you that we suppress our cultivation. After your cultivation is strong, we can naturally restore them to their original state or even..."
"Even what?"
"Forget it, you will know it later."
Soon more than 60,000 souls entered the soul jade one after another, and Xiaoyu also took a step in. Han Xuan once again made seals to put away the five-pointed star and then came out of the soul refining array. As the host of this soul refining array, Lu Qianshan and others naturally knew that these souls had left, but no one asked Han Xuan where he had taken these souls.
Han Xuan left the Soul Refining Array and headed straight for the Central Army's tent. I think that those strong men from various forces should have almost arrived. Some issues in this first battle must be discussed with these people who know the most about the five empires in order to come up with a better solution.
Han Xuan didn't walk too fast on the way. He had to think about the summary of this battle more, go through each link in his mind, and find out more useful information from it.
