From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen looked at the surrounding trees, shook his head and said: "I don't know either, there is no record in the historical materials, and the local barbarians don't have any, so look for it yourself."

The four of them walked slowly in the forest. Occasionally, ferrets squatted on the tree trunks and looked curiously, but they couldn't see other animals.

After walking for a while, it looked the same everywhere, and I didn't find anything special.

Gan Xin said, "My lord, why don't we look for them separately?"

It is more efficient to separate the four teams, and Gan Xin wants to find the soldiers that may be hidden earlier.

Feng He immediately objected: "No, it's too dangerous to separate, let's go together, slow down, and be safe."

Feng Hexiu is low, if he is in danger after separation, his life will be in danger.

Mo Lin chuckled and said, "Xiao Feng, don't be afraid, if you are in danger, send a signal and we will come to rescue you."

Feng He refused, when meeting a master, life and death are at stake, so there is no time to ask for help.

The four of them continued to walk forward and came to an open ground. The surrounding trees for several miles were destroyed. The trunks lying on the ground were covered with ice and snow. Some stumps were covered with heavy snow, and some stumps were high. An icicle.

"This must be a battlefield, the trees are all destroyed."

Feng He looked up at the dark sky. After walking for so long, he saw the sky for the first time.

Mo Lin pulled out the black blade and stabbed a nearby tree.

The black blade can penetrate, but the resistance is very high, indicating that the wood of these trees is very hard.

Such a huge and hard tree has been destroyed so much, it should be the battlefield left by the war.

Long Chen rode his horse and walked over slowly, the ground was covered with ice and snow, no traces of the past could be seen.

After 400 years, any traces were covered up.

"Is it possible that the ghost soldiers are hiding under here?"

Feng He looked at the snow under his feet and said.

Gan Xin smiled and said, "It's possible, you can dig it out and have a look."

Feng He chuckled: "Senior Gan Xin has high skill, you are always digging, and the speed is faster."

The two joked with each other, Long Chen got off his horse and said: "Make room, I'll see if there are any signs of hidden soldiers."

Feng He said with a smile: "My lord, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously..."

Mo Lin stepped forward to lead the horse, Gan Xin smiled and said, "I have the ability to fool you, I admire you."

The three of them retreated into the woods, Long Chen walked alone in the middle of the open space, his figure slowly floated up, holding the skeleton sword in his hand, filled with true energy, and then swung the sword violently towards the ground.

The storm suddenly picked up, and the snow on the ground was blown away by the wind. The coniferous forest that seemed to be immobile for a thousand years was blown from side to side, and the snow fell suddenly, like a salt jar breaking in the air, and fell head-on.

The three people hiding behind the woods were disfigured by the strong wind and falling snow. The snow fell in from the leader. Gan Xin and Mo Lin were fine, but Feng He was impatient and immediately took out the snow.

"It's too close, you should stay away."

Feng He regretted it too much.

Mo Lin smiled and said, "You deserve it, you came up with such a bad idea."

After the storm subsided, Long Chen landed on the ground. Below was the frozen ground. Some scorched dead branches and weapons could be seen, and there were even some remnants of armor.

Feng He came out of the woods, his hat was covered with snow.

"Look, I say yes."

Feng He said proudly to Gan Xin and Mo Lin.

Gan Xin smiled and said: "You are talking nonsense. Where there has been a great war, there will naturally be remnants. What we are looking for are the hidden soldiers and horses of the Martial Saints."

The three got off their horses and took out their tools to dig out the buried things.

"The killing must have been very tragic back then."

Feng He dug up some broken weapons, many of which were made of Shenmu.

The weapons made by Shenmu were so tough that they were cut off, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time.

"There should be no hidden soldiers here. If I were a martial artist, I would choose to hide my soldiers in a retreat or resting place."

Gan Xin looked to the northwest of the Black Forest and said thoughtfully.

Mo Lin said: "The Black Forest is very close to the Hera Pass. Is it possible that they retreated to the ice field?"

The Black Forest is very close to the Hera Mountain Pass, only more than 300 miles away. If you ride fast, you can reach it in a few days.

It is indeed possible for Wu Sheng to withdraw the wounded and defeated soldiers to the ice field, where it is absolutely safe.

Long Chen ignored their discussion and continued to search on the ground.

He knew that there was little possibility of hiding soldiers here, and he wanted to find some clues from the traces of the year.

"My lord, what are you looking for?"

After prying for a long time, Feng He was so tired that his hands ached and his waist ached. He sat on the ground and didn't want to move.

Long Chen walked around and asked, "How many people do you think are fighting here?"

Mo Lin immediately understood what Long Chen meant, and said, "It's hard to say, if you only count the open space, it is estimated that the two-headed army has about [-] troops."

"No, it should be less than [-]. I don't know much about battle formations, so I can't guess."

Long Chen asked this question because he wanted to estimate how many soldiers and horses fought here.

The Battle of the Black Forest was very critical. The elite soldiers of both sides must be here, and even all the soldiers and horses were thrown into the battle.

If you can estimate how many soldiers and horses fought here that year, and then estimate the battle damage, you can estimate how many soldiers and horses Wu Sheng has left.

Of course, these are estimates and are definitely not accurate.

"Old Feng, what do you think?"

Long Chen asked Feng He, he had been in the military camp for a long time and was responsible for military intelligence collection, so he was probably much more accurate.

"My lord, do you want to estimate the number of soldiers and horses that fought that year?"

Feng He also turned around and understood why Long Chen was here to see the situation.

"Yes, how many do you estimate?"

Long Chen looked at the empty ground around him. After these trees were destroyed for 400 years, no new trees grew up, which shows how difficult it is for the trees here to grow.

Feng He estimated while walking, and finally said: "The battlefield is spread out, and the fighting has reached this level, the number of people is at least 20."

When Feng He stated his estimate, both Gan Xin and Mo Lin were speechless.

"Xiao Feng, we have never been in the military camp, but we have seen fighting. How can such a small space accommodate 20 soldiers fighting?"

Gan Xin felt that Feng He was exaggerating, and Mo Lin also said: "20 soldiers and horses are placed here, and the crowd is crowded, how can we fight?"

Fighting on the battlefield is not about queuing up and stabbing each other to death, but requires a venue, so such a place simply cannot accommodate 20 soldiers and horses.

"You can't just look at how many soldiers and horses can be accommodated here. I see traces of knives and axes on the surrounding tree trunks. It is likely that the situation at that time was like this. There were fighting in the middle and hoarding soldiers and horses in the forest."

Feng He pointed to the surrounding black forest and said.

Gan Xin looked around, and said with some disbelief: "No way, what do you mean, the soldiers and horses on both sides lined up in the forest, and then took turns to fight?"

Feng He looked at Long Chen and said: "My judgment is this. Of course, too much time has passed. I don't know what happened."

Mo Lin also looked at Long Chen, waiting for Long Chen to speak.

Long Chen said: "The historical materials of the Three Kingdoms and the jade book of the ghost clan all record the battle here, and more than once, there must be a large army fighting here."

"So, Old Feng's estimate may be more accurate, but we don't know how much, we can only estimate."

"In a place where the fighting is so fierce, there must be many wounded soldiers."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin looked around, thinking that this was the case, but where are these wounded soldiers?
