Qi Shui zigzagged past all the corpses that were found throughout the area . The concentrated stench of blood filled the air and corpses were strewn everywhere . A portion of the corpses were poisoned to death whereas the majority of them were chopped to death . There was practically no corpse that was complete, and blood was seen splattered everywhere .
Whenever he watched gory movies in the past, he always felt that there was too much blood in the scenes . At present, he suddenly felt that being too realistic was not a good thing . If it were before, he would have definitely vomited the food he had the previous day just by looking at those severed corpses, broken limbs, and all the spilled guts .
Ren Baqian also saw something interesting among the pile of corpses . It was a box that had many small holes on it, and there weren't only one or two of them . Previously, this place was the center position of the Great Xia's battle formation, and all of the corpses were soldiers that were poisoned to death . There were many such boxes littering the ground . However, most of them were stepped on and already broken, revealing arrows inside . Only a few of them were still in good condition .
He jumped down and picked one up . Teng Ji said as he saw from afar, "Those are Great Xia's crossbows . There should be a crossbow battalion somewhere here . "
Ren Baqian held onto the box and took aim at a piece of empty ground . He found something that was similar to a wrench, pushed it, and felt a shock in his hand . In a split second, twelve arrows were shot and nailed into the ground .
"This thing is quite powerful . " Ren Baqian was somewhat speechless . Even though it wasn't as good as modern age guns; for example it would take quite a long time to load an arrow after firing a round, and the shooting range was shorter, but it was already considered relatively powerful .
Previously, this crossbow battalion should have been heavily protected in the center of the Great Xia's battle formation . The opponent's plan should have been that the front row, made up a number of archers, would reduce the number of winged cavalry .
A pity that regardless whether it was the archers or the crossbow battalion, they weren't put to good use at all . They did not even display any of their strength and were directly poisoned to death .
This could only be blamed on Great Xia's extremely bad luck .
At first, Ren Baqian wanted to pick up a few crossbows . But after thinking for a while, traces of sarin gas were present on them, so he decide to drop the idea .
After walking for a distance, there were only a few corpses scattered here and there, and only then did the stench of the blood diminish .
"Sigh, such is life!" Ren Baqian sighed as he looked at the sky with his head tilted upwards 45 degrees . He was really uncomfortable . Last time, even though there were also many dead people, there wasn't as many as this time, and secondly, he also hadn't walked through the pile of dead bodies . The feeling of watching from afar and walking close to the dead bodies was definitely different .
In particular, such a terrible sight like that .
Fortunately, he only sighed and was affected for a while . After which, he threw it all behind him .
Regardless of where he was, such issues were unavoidable, and he couldn't afford care much either .
Unless the world is unified and can guarantee a few hundred years of peace . Otherwise, which battlefield isn't the same?
They continued advancing for another few kilometers, and all of a sudden, the winged cavalry warrior right at the front dashed towards the side .
"Your Majesty!" Teng Ji remained where he was and cupped his hands in obeisance towards the empress .
"What's the matter?" The empress asked .
"There are many corpses in front . From their dressing, I'm afraid that they are troops from the Protectorate of the North . "
Immediately, the empress's face turned gloomy .
After the winged cavalry warriors in the front gradually stopped and separated into two sides, Ren Baqian and the empress could finally see the scene ahead .
Ahead of them were corpses, weapons, and arrows all over the place . Right in the center was a headless burly man standing upright and holding onto a knife . His body was filled with wounds all over, and his flesh was cut open .
Just seeing this scene, one was able to feel a harsh and solemn aura .
The empress got down from Qi Shui and slowly walked one step at a time, while Ren Baqian promptly jumped down and followed behind her .
The battle back then made him feel that it was cruel whereas this place gave him a dismal feeling .
There were not only the bodies of aboriginal soldiers but also the bodies of Great Xia soldiers .
All of the bodies of the aboriginal soldiers were like sieves and fully pierced with short swords . These arrows were not shot by bows but crossbows . It was the kind of crossbow which they had picked up at the previous battlefield .
One could imagine that these soldiers were from the Protectorate of the North and had rushed over to greet the empress . They were supposed to intercept the Great Xia troops before joining forces with the winged cavalry . However, they were ambushed by Great Xia's troops and were subjugated chaotic warfare over here . Ultimately, the aboriginals were completely wiped out .
This happened two days ago . Ren Baqian's return to Earth caused their journey to be delayed by two days . After resting and reorganizing, Great Xia's army calmly intercepted Dayao's troops and the conclusion was too horrible to endure .
According to Ren Baqian's imagination, this was the place where Great Xia first used crossbows and attacked from both sides . Soon after, the soldiers rushed up to attack, and once again, they used the crossbows to shoot those aboriginal soldiers together with the Great Xia soldiers to death .
But, despite this, the aboriginal soldiers at the scene were much lesser than the Great Xia soldiers . At first glance, the ratio was probably 1: 2 or 2 . 5 respectively . There were approximately 1000 aboriginal soldiers and 2000+ Great Xia soldiers that were buried over here .
As for that deceased burly man who was standing, in addition to knife wounds, there was also a trace of purple and black marks on his body . It was as if he was being bound by something .
In a while, Ren Baqian was able to recall what he saw from the binoculars . It should be the chain that appeared out of nowhere and tried to bind the empress .
Looking at all these sights, the empress's ice-cold aura was growing more concentrated . It made the people around her feel that the temperature was falling, and they were trembling with fear .
At this moment, a strong killing intent was exuded from the empress .
"Your Majesty, it's Lin Yaoqi . " Li Tanhua still kept his poker face as he approached with an angry-looking head that was filled with blood .
Li Yaoqi was considered a brave individual in the Protectorate of the North . Never would anyone expect that he would die over here .
The only thing that was gratifying was that the Zhu Mu Elders lived a mere two days longer than him .
"Your Majesty, there are also corpses in the woods . " At this moment, the winged cavalry warrior that ran into both sides of the woods came out to report .
Ren Baqian followed the empress into the woods . Sure enough, there were a few corpses lying inside . There were only corpses of a few Great Xia's soldiers and aboriginal soldiers scattered around .
But, the aboriginal warriors that were able to charge inside here were slightly more powerful than the rest .
The Protectorate of the North wasn't the winged cavalry, and the ordinary soldiers had just attained the level of a Man Wheel . An expert at the level of Earth Wheel could already serve as a low-rank commander . Those who were able to withstand the crossbows and entered the woods must at the very least be an expert who was at the advanced level of the Man Wheel .
"Bring all of them back," the empress paused for a moment as she spoke . Then, she turned around and returned to Qi Shui's back .
Ren Baqian stood to one side and watched everyone else picking up the heads of the dead soldiers and hanging them by both sides of their mounts . He then sighed, returned to Qi Shui's back and wondered if the families of these thousand dead soldiers would hate him or not .
Even if the aboriginals didn't view death as something very serious, but this battle had more or less affected the moral of the troops . Everyone became quieter during the next part of the journey .
When it was dark, everyone walked out of the mountain ridge, and in front of them was the plain .
They all rested for two hours before setting off once again . As expected, there wasn't any interceptions ahead . By the time it was late into the night, they had already crossed over the borders of Great Xia and returned to within Dayao's borders .
Not long after returning to Dayao, they ran into a group of mounted scouts that were raising torches . After making a loud inquiry and confirming that it was the winged cavalry, one of them immediately asked in exultation, "May I ask if Her Majesty is inside?"
After receiving a positive reply, he immediately sent someone to go back and make a report . On the other hand, he brought a group of people to seek an audience with the empress .
She only found out that this mounted scout was slightly injured upon approaching him . His arm was also bandaged . However, it was not only him who was injured, the few people behind were injured as well .
"What happened? Where's the General-in-Chief, Hong Wu?" the empress inquired .
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Tiesuo Pass sent troops to attack Ping City and only retreated today . The General-in-Chief is overlooking everything in Ping City . " As that soldier answered the empress, he also shot glances, from time to time, over at Ren Baqian, who was sitting on the same mount as the empress .
The empress choosing a husband was such a huge issue that besides spreading throughout Sixty Thousand Mountains, the news had spread almost everywhere .
Seeing Ren Baqian, he was able to deduce his identity . Originally, he still wanted to see if there was anything strange about him, but in the end, he was greatly disappointed .
"Go, go to Ping City," the empress said . Upon hearing the mounted scout's words, she kind of understood why Hong Wu didn't turn up .
