Chapter 754: Greed, hatred, and delusion turn into ashes; a chain of poisonous schemes traps Jinshan

~8 min read 1,452 words

Li Yu's words, which stripped away the cold-blooded and ruthless logic of great power games and exposed them to the sunlight, were like a basin of cold water that completely extinguished the last trace of doubt in the hearts of the Rouran generals.

The laws of the grassland originally emphasized the survival of the fittest. This kind of pure, unadulterated, and naked mutual utilization and interest exchange, without any hypocritical kindness, truly conformed to their understanding of Central Plains power schemes, and was the most capable of settling their suspicious nerves.

Wen Gexi slowly retracted the long sword that was framed on Li Yu's neck. His muscles, which had been tense due to extreme anger, relaxed at this moment like a deflated ball, and he turned to walk toward the large wooden boxes emitting the cold scent of metal and the smell of rice and grain.

His rough hands, which had been holding reins for years and were covered in heavy calluses and knife scars, trembled slightly as he picked up a heavy repeating crossbow from the top layer of the box that still emitted the smell of grinding machine oil.

The cold metallic touch passed through his fingertips all the way to his heart, like a bolt of lightning splitting open the painful memories he had deliberately suppressed in his mind. Those scenes flashed back crazily in his mind like a revolving lantern.

That continuous royal court, which once symbolized supreme power over the entire grassland, was burned to scorched earth by the soaring flames. His most beloved Yanzhi was cruelly disemboweled by the Turks and nailed to a scorched wooden stake, dying with her eyes wide open. The mausoleums where the successive Rouran Khans rested in peace were completely dug open, and the rolling heads belonging to the Rouran nobles were piled up into a terrifying Jingguan extremely humiliatingly.

These tragic blood feuds, which had originally been forced to be suppressed in the bottom of his heart due to the lack of grain and grass and the damage of weapons, were stimulated by these sharp divine weapons at this moment, like a bursting dam, instantly crushing the fragile dam of reason in his mind.

The monstrous hatred completely blinded the mind of this grassland hegemon, making his eyes instantly bloodshot and turning into a terrifying purple-red.

Wen Gexi suddenly let out a heart-rending roar. He suddenly raised his right foot and kicked the huge bronze fire basin used for heating in the tent over with all his brute force.

The boiling charcoal and ashes scattered and splashed in the tent. The red sparks fell on his tattered sable fur, burning holes, but he didn't notice it at all, just holding the repeating crossbow high with both hands, raising his head and letting out a blood-weeping wolf howl toward the vast and dilapidated dome.

"Good, a good win-win business! As long as I can kill all those Turkic bastards and use Moheduo's blood to sacrifice to the souls of my Rouran, I am willing to sell my soul today and be this knife that kills without blood for your Qi State!"

This oath was like a fuse that ignited the entire ammunition depot. The sorrow and fanaticism that had been suppressed in the royal tent were detonated instantly.

Qiu Sheng Tou and Batu, these two fierce generals, no longer had any worries. They drew the swords at their waists and used the backs of their blades to heavily knock on the broken leather armor on their chests, making a deafening clanging sound.

"Kill all the Turkic dogs and avenge the dead brothers!"

"Use their skulls to hold wine and their intestines to hang on the horse heads of the warhorses!"

The entire royal tent echoed with the hysterical, almost crazy revenge roars of these beast-like generals. No one went to consider whether there was a deeper, bottomless abyss behind this war that was being manipulated by others.

Wen Gexi turned around abruptly. His eyes flashed with a crazy determination to die and not stop. The long sword in his hand fell with the force of ten thousand jun, directly splitting the solid wood commander's desk that had accompanied him in battle for many years into two halves of explosion.

Amidst the flying wood shavings, this Rouran Khan used a hoarse voice that leaked wind to issue a blood order of burning bridges that made everyone gasp and completely cut off the retreat.

"Pass the highest military order of this Khan. Immediately accept all the baggage and military equipment sent by Qi State and distribute them to every warrior who can still hold a knife."

He pointed the bloody blade tip directly at the wilderness outside the tent where the wind and sand were raging, roaring with spit flying.

"The whole army gathers immediately, raids the Turkic Jinshan tribe under the cover of wind and sand tonight. If we don't trample Jinshan flat on this trip, our entire Rouran clan will die out in this desert, and we will not stop until we die!"

This military order, which left no retreat, was like having wings inserted, and spread throughout this temporary camp that was like a dead city in less than half an incense stick.

Those tens of thousands of Rouran cavalry, after hearing that Qi State had sent divine weapons and issued a death-defying charge order, the entire camp was like boiling water into which a giant stone had been thrown, completely rolling and boiling.

The metallic collision sound of weapons changing hands rose and fell one after another. Those soldiers who were starving to death rushed toward the ox carts distributing baggage like hungry ghosts, throwing away the curled-edge curved blades in their hands, and fanatically stroking the cold blood grooves on the brand-new horizontal sabers.

No one went to light a fire to cook. Tens of thousands of Rouran cavalry directly stuffed the raw and hard millet into their mouths, mixed with the warhorse neck blood that had just been slaughtered, and chewed and swallowed like beasts drinking hair and blood, with dark red blood plasma flowing from the corners of their mouths.

The Rouran cavalry, who were full and had changed into new weapons, completely shed the appearance of the stray dogs that had been defeated before. Their eyes were blood red, and the heart fire of extreme grievance in their chests turned them directly into a group of fearless revenge Asuras who only wanted to rush forward and bite the enemy's throat.

Following a few low and short horn sounds blowing in the four directions of the camp simultaneously, tens of thousands of cavalry led their warhorses that had regained their fighting spirit, and under the cover of night, quickly formed massive, airtight charge formations.

Li Yu stood on a sand dune with higher terrain on the periphery of the camp. The cold wind outside the Great Wall cut like a knife on his gorgeous Qi State official robe, blowing the cold sweat behind him into a chilling chill.

He looked down at the Rouran main army that was rushing toward the Jinshan direction in the west like a black mud-stone flow, carrying monstrous killing intent and endless hatred. His fingers pinched his palm tightly in his sleeves until he pinched out blood marks before barely calming the trembling of controlling the life and death of thousands of troops.

The night wind messed up the hair on Li Yu's temples. The corners of his mouth hidden in the darkness could not help but raise, outlining a cold smile of extreme mockery and triumph after completing the shocking conspiracy.

Chen Zhuguo's shocking strategy of borrowing a knife to kill, which could control the wind and clouds outside the frontier from thousands of miles away, finally formed a perfect, head-to-tail absolute killing closed loop under these extremely deceptive lies and instigations.

Those Rouran brutes blinded by hatred were willingly taking the weapons paid for by Great Zhou to sweep away the Turkic hidden danger that was the most threatening to Great Zhou in the future. These tens of thousands of lives on the grassland were just cheap consumables used to consume the enemy's blood and energy on Chen Yan's sand table.

"Go, bite to your heart's content, force out all the hole cards of that fox Moheduo. This sky-filling yellow sand will eventually bury you idiots who don't know life and death..."

Li Yu silently declared the opening of this slaughter in his heart. He turned and hid in the darkness, leaving this grassland that was destined to be completely stained with blood to those alien armies destined to move toward destruction in mutual slaughter. ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
