The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

As the giant inflatable hang glider that carried them gradually shriveled and shriveled under the arrows of the Turks, the spirit mech that had been covered was finally fully revealed. It was a daunting battle. The machine has a suffocating mechanical beauty.

The shiny shell reflects the surrounding scenery like a mirror.The sun shines on it, sparking a dazzling light. Under close observation, you can clearly see various details on the mecha, fine metal workmanship, and compact mechanical structure.

Soon, these huge mechs plummeted to the ground from a height of tens of feet.During the fall, the obviously damaged hang glider suddenly ignited raging flames, turning into blood-red clouds of fire, like the wings of death, flying towards the camp of the Turkic army on the side.

At this moment, the entire battlefield fell silent, and all eyes were focused on these mechs.

The next moment, after the initial shock, the Turkic elites discovered that their defense line had been broken through instantly, and immediately tried to counterattack, shooting a large number of "iron barb arrows" from the high arrow tower, which was one of their final tactics in this battle. ", like thousands of venomous snakes, they all pounced on the landing spiritual mecha.

The tails of these special arrows are connected with iron cables that are hundreds of feet long, and the other end is fixed on a boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. Although the shooting range is average, when their arrow clusters are hooked into the iron sheets of chariots, wheels, or heavy cavalry armor, Immediately, the enemy's actions will be restricted. Before that, it has caused huge obstacles to many types of tanks.

And after separating from the vehicle, the mechas suddenly moved like beasts out of the cage.

They rolled several positions in mid-air, raised their arms and raised the giant shield covered with a layer of solid ice, and swung at extreme speed to block most of the barb arrows around the iron chain that aimed to lock and trap the enemy. The strength of the arrow precisely adjusted the posture when it landed.

Theoretically speaking, the research and development of the mech traveling system is extremely difficult, which cannot be achieved by the current level of technology. Therefore, they all adopt the method of manpower control plus recurved blade-like legs, and the method of jumping and running through metal deformation and rebound, completely The overall balance is maintained by the driver.

In fact, the Spirit Vein Mecha can be regarded as a giant armor that is enlarged several times, or it is a direct extension of various parts of the driver's body. It does not have much control assistance, so you want to drive it normally instead of lifting it up. If the leg falls on the spot, it must go through quite a period of training.

That is, in the next moment, the mechs poked out their Zhangxu-long blade-shaped lower limbs, and landed heavily on the gravel-covered wasteland while leaning forward.

The blade pierced the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, and the gravel splashing on the wasteland, the sound was deafening, like a drum of blood boiling, sounding the prelude to the ensuing battle.And behind them, there was a sea of ​​flames, and the flames danced in the air, illuminating the entire battlefield.

At the same time, the giant shield made of sawdust ice dropped to the ground, grinding off some of the arrows that were indeed hooked into the shield, and then flipped toward the sky, restoring its previous shape by first melting and then condensing. damage.

Since it mainly uses the vitality of heaven and earth as energy, and also has heat engine power that can also use cold sources, the Spirit Vein Mecha uses a large number of ice materials that can repair itself in cold environments. Basically, there is no need to worry about being attacked by a single weak weapon. Possibility of damage after accumulation.

Before the dust settled, the mechs adjusted their posture and rushed forward. Their lower limbs kept tearing the ground into deep marks. Every step was accompanied by gravel flying around, making the ground Trembling.

The main battle weapon has not even been officially used. Just relying on its huge impact and jumping performance to jump over trenches, boulder shields, and mud and sand pits, the sharp blades on the legs of the Spirit Vein Mecha have already caused hundreds of Thousands of people and horses along the way turned into mutilated corpses.

They rush left and right in the enemy group, and their formation is always intact, like an indestructible long dragon shuttling through the enemy army. With thunderous momentum, they use superb cutting tactics, like a sharp knife to cut through the mess, instantly destroying the enemy's defensive formation. Rushed to pieces.

In contrast, the formation of the Turkic army was like loose sand, and it seemed weak. Flesh and blood flew all over the way, and there was no obstacle.

Although countless arrows rained down on the mechas, they could not penetrate their sturdy shields and metal casings.The blade-shaped lower limbs sparked sparks as they were swung. It was the sound of metal colliding, and it was also the symphony of war.

This was a well-planned raid. Once launched, it drove the enemy to death without leaving any gaps for escape. The Spirit Vein Mecha's attack was as fast as thunder, instantly defeating the enemy and turning them into a chaotic mess. , completely losing the ability to coordinate operations.

Although the resistance of the Turks was tenacious, in the face of this unprecedented giant war machine, even Bi Xuan, the most spiritually cultivated warrior in Eastern Turks, couldn't help but waver in his confidence, and anxiety appeared in his eyes.

Without taking another look at the enemy commander's flag on the hill, he suddenly turned his horse's head and chased after the last mecha. The moon wolf spear in his hand was pointed at the sky, and his expression changed from indifferent to cold. Unprecedented courage and heroism;

It can be seen that Bi Xuan has already put his own life and death behind him at the moment when the race is in peril. He is no longer a high-ranking warrior from the Eastern Turks, nor is he the oldest saint of the Ashina royal family, but a member of the clan. Desperate ordinary warriors.

I saw that Bi Xuan's aura of austerity was in full swing, exuding a frighteningly high temperature that seemed to melt gold into iron, as if it was going to burn the entire battlefield, delaying the pace of these spirit mechs as much as possible.

However, different from what he had imagined, when Bi Xuan forced his way into the rear of Kou Zhong's mech at the cost of exhausting his fighting power, the opponent's other giant arm besides the shield was carrying a long whip It swept across suddenly, with dazzling lightning flashing on it;

Although it is an electrode-steel whip that is several feet long, its moves vaguely reveal a mysterious saber intent, flowing water and clouds, hidden ingenuity, it seems like a simple whip, with all kinds of changes in it, relying on With the huge advantage of the length of the weapon, Bi Xuan had no choice but to accept this move.

Immediately, a radius of hundreds of feet was illuminated by this dazzling electric light.The air was filled with intense electric cries and the scorching breath of flames, which made Bi Xuan feel an indescribable sadness as if abandoned by the times. Ming knew that he had no way out, so he could only point the Moon Wolf Spear at The long whip stabbed straight away.

The moon wolf spear and the long whip collided in the air, making a loud noise that shook the sky.A strong electric current flowed into Bi Xuan's body along the Moon Wolf Spear, making him feel numb, but in the end he was able to barely block the power of the blow and cut off a small section of the enemy's whip tip.

Although after long-distance raids and a lot of battles, Bi Xuan, who has almost put aside all his past glory, did not show any signs of decline in the fight. After going through the difficult adaptation period to the high-voltage current at the beginning, he clung to Kou Zhong's machine tightly. It was more powerful than his mecha, but it was only one, not very important to the overall situation of the battlefield.

"Bang!" A large number of arsonist flying kites rushed straight to the sky from the hill, bursting a blood-red flame, illuminating the earth.The spreading flame jumped in the deepest part of the Turkic camp, illuminating the figures of the mechs.

Their figures looked even more powerful in the firelight, like the gods of war emerging from hell, bringing ruthless death and destruction to the Turks who once dominated the steppes.

Along the cracks that had just been forcibly torn open along the Turkic Army's defense line, the other fast troops of the Expeditionary Army were like ants swarming, mercilessly intercepting and killing the fleeing enemies, never letting go of every corner.

The outcome of the game has been determined, and now it only depends on how many enemy heads can be captured.

Although Jie Li, Bi Xuan, Tun Yugu and others tried their best to turn the tide, it is a pity that there has never been a place more realistic and cruel than the battlefield since ancient times. If the defeat is successful, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, Kong Ming Reincarnation, but also unable to recover.

The battle lasted until dusk that day. The Anguo Expeditionary Force commanded by Li Jing achieved a complete victory. The hundreds of thousands of Turkic and allied troops suffered more than [-]% casualties. It can be said that the entire army was annihilated.

"Vastly! The flat sand is boundless, and there are no people. The river is lingering, and the mountains are in dispute. It is gloomy and haggard, and the wind is sad and the sun is dying. The grass is dry, and it is as frosty as the morning. Birds can't fly down, and animals are dying. "

When the remnants of the defeated army retreated to the Langshan Village in the rear, Li Jing descended like a fierce tiger, and pursued after the victory. Blood flowed into rivers and corpses littered the field. The hell-like scene makes people palpitate.Bi Xuan, Zhao Deyan, Tun Yugu and others died on the spot, and Jieli only escaped with his own body. He led the remnant army back to the deeper part of the prairie, and made this mysterious Langshan altar, which is of great significance to the Turkic people. The meaningless grassland holy land is surrendered.

However, without the restriction of the wasteland terrain, on the flat and vast grassland, there is no need for more powerful spirit mechs to participate. The chariot faster than the horse can already sweep the grassland like a strong wind, making the enemy invincible.

After the First Battle of Shuofang, the expeditionary force closely followed the tail of the remnant Turkic army. They fought many times in Dingxiang and other places. They won five battles and captured Jieli Khan and a large number of small Turkic Khans, including the Eastern Turkic King. Many important cities, including the family, have returned to the embrace of China.

The border line has also advanced to the Langjuxu Mountain and Yanran Mountain area, and due to sufficient logistics supply, troops can be stationed for a long time, instead of only carving stones to record achievements like the Han Dynasty.

Almost at the same time, the Western Turks and Tuyuhun thought they could take advantage of the confrontation between the East Turks and the main force of Anguo, and sent a coalition force of more than 30 horses to try to seize Wuwei, Zhangye, Dunhuang and other important frontier fortresses located in Hexi Zongkou. But it encountered a strong counterattack, like a sudden rainstorm, which instantly extinguished the ambitions of the Western Turkic Allied Forces.

At the end of autumn, Zhao Qing convened training and sent a total of 10 expeditionary troops. Only 3 people fought against the East Turkic coalition forces. The rest were naturally sent to other places besides stationing in the newly recovered areas.

This huge army is like a giant dragon, meandering through the grasslands, deserts, and plateaus, overcoming numerous obstacles, and devouring all the enemies.During the battle, the coalition forces of the Western Turks were also defeated, and they went straight into the depths of the Western Regions;

After several consecutive victories, they captured Jinya Mountain, the royal court of the Western Turkic Empire, Fuqi City, the capital of Tuyuhun, and garrisoned troops there, basically calming down the hidden dangers in the Western Regions.

Due to the long front line, in this cold season, the expeditionary force has experienced countless difficulties and challenges in the case of losses of nearly [-]%. After long efforts, it finally successfully completed the strategic goal of sweeping the surrounding countries;

But when they completed the task, it was already the new year of the second year.Although the snowflakes are still falling in the frontier area and the cold wind is howling, there have been changes in the control of the most critical area.

……

The cold winter is about to pass, and spring is getting stronger.The grass on the riverside that had survived the war was struggling to poke its head out of the soil.

The former Shuofang battlefield is like a corner forgotten by time, sharp and ancient.Weeds spread, depicting the outline of history.The winter sun shines on the soil, looking pale and weak, but it can't cover up the mottled memory that has penetrated deeply into the soil.

On the silent hills, Zhao Qing's thoughts were misty, and he walked casually and lightly, listening to the sound of wind and sand, but seemed to be able to touch the blood and life once condensed here, and sense the breath of countless dead heroes. , the soul vaguely formed a strange resonance with the rhythm of life and death on the battlefield.

"No wonder, the power system of the main world is extremely popular in the military, and it allows thousands of power masters to risk great dangers to serve the country loyally and sacrifice heroically."

"A large-scale life-and-death fight in which all kinds of emotional fluctuations are extremely intense can indeed rapidly improve the progress of Shen Jin's practice. Coupled with the large amount of rare practice materials provided by the country's military as rewards, it is undoubtedly a breakthrough for those with weak stamina. best occasion."

With a slight thought in her mind, she floated down from the hill that had been used as a command platform, took advantage of the wind and flew to the other side of the Wuding River, where the river course had slightly changed a few miles away. She crossed the river full of floating ice and came to The ruins of the original Turkic army's main stronghold after it was burned down.

I saw the traces of the fire devoured here clearly visible, ruined walls, broken tiles and bricks, desolate and sad, there are black traces of charred everywhere, there is no vegetation, only the open wilderness and silent ruins are left.

That is to say, in a cleared space in the center of the ruins, there stands a five-foot-high ordinary stone tablet, engraved with two large characters in Turkic and Chinese characters, "Tomb of Wu Zun Bixuan" on it. Let people know that this great master figure who was once famous all over the world is buried in such a remote place.

Although Zhao Qing's current martial arts cultivation is much higher than that of Bi Xuan, as the spiritual leader of the Eastern Turks, his conduct is not faultable from the perspective of his own nation, and he died because of the war between the two countries. It also made her feel a little bit emotional.

As Zhao Qing slowly approached, on the other side of the stele with its back to her, a man in white with long hair shawl stood up from sitting leaning on the stele. His frame was huge, but not bloated at all. His demeanor gave the white clothes on his body an extraordinary majesty, making people dare not be dismissive.

"What is the purpose of life?" When Zhao Qing officially met Fu Cailin, the "master of swordsmanship" from Goguryeo, the other party just happened to turn around, revealing his strange and ugly appearance. An unexpected inquiry broke the silence of the place.

Although Fu Cailin's facial features appear cramped and inappropriately proportioned due to the gathering, his eyes are as smart as gods, like the brightest stars in the night sky, embedded in the appropriately long eyes, seamless, flashing with eternal depth. The expression of endless love for life.

The Turkic Turks that used to straddle the grassland have been destroyed one after another. As the guardian of Goguryeo, he felt a strong sense of crisis, so he rushed here to mourn the death of Wu Zun Bixuan. Zhao Qing came from one incident.

Realizing the morality hidden in this question, Zhao Qing did not take action immediately on the person responsible for the failure of Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo. In fact, in her opinion, a great master is willing to contribute a lot to his country , Fighting the enemy bravely, regardless of ethnic similarities or differences, is worthy of respect.

As for the achievements in martial arts and kendo, Fu Cailin has long been left behind by her, but when it comes to the "essence of life", "existence and purpose", which touches the high level of philosophy and Taoism, the other party is still comparable to Zhao. Everyone with equal status, not enemies who have to conflict because of family and country affairs.

I saw Fu Cailin let out a sigh of relief, thinking leisurely and fascinated: "Life contains finiteness and infinity at the same time. Awareness of oneself is the only way to know existence. The existence of every life is endless. A spark ignited in growth and decay, a fragment zero wave in the long river of life."

"If a person can open the eyes of his soul and penetrate all greed, hatred, confusion, fear, and selfish desires, he will be able to see himself and the miracles surrounding him. No matter how humble or great, foolish or wise you or I are, we are all ourselves. It’s a miracle.”

"Life is the pinnacle of the entire existence. Among all living beings, only man has free will, can reflect on his own existence, and make choices. Because of this, my life has been looking for something unknown, thinking that it can provide Life brings a deeper meaning."

Having said this, Fu Cailin's eyes fell on Zhao Qing, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was expecting her to give her answer.

"Yes, I don't know about life other than human beings, but as far as human beings are concerned, I think the purpose of life should be multi-layered, and the most important thing is a persistent pursuit from the heart. all the same."

"For me, the goal of this pursuit is probably to explore the endless unknown, understand, summarize, and apply the laws of nature and the laws of the universe, so as to understand the boundless avenue..."

Zhao Qing nodded, approving Fu Cailin's words, then wiped his eyes casually, looked towards the direction of the original battlefield, as if seeing something hidden, and said calmly:

"Perhaps, in another place, our understanding of life will give rise to a new perspective."
