The small soldiers on the frontier at the beginning killed Liu Ye, the Han God of War, and Lu Lingqi

A light blue stream of light adhered to the blade, and then a three-meter long shadow suddenly extended from the tip of the blade.

"Condensing energy into form, you actually understood the meaning of the sword?!"

At this moment, Tuoba Tao admitted that he was a little panicked.

What kind of monster is this?

The last time we fought, the other party had barely mastered the Perfection Realm sword technique, and couldn't even see the shadow of the sword's intention.

However, in just half a year, the other party's skill level has directly crossed from "form" to "meaning". How can this make him, a veteran of the battlefield who has been in the "form" realm for nearly ten years, feel so embarrassed?

"Kill!!" Zhang Liao shouted violently, pressed down his arms violently, and slashed down Tuoba Tao with a three-meter-long sword.

"Block it!!"

Facing this sword, Tuoba Tao felt his mind tremble, and he frantically mobilized the energy and blood in his body to try to resist.

However, as the endless sword intent approached, the skin on his face began to crack, and then the flesh and blood fell off inch by inch, revealing the white bones inside.

After a few breaths, Tuoba Tao was left with only a skeleton. His whole body seemed to have experienced a thousand cuts, and there was no trace of flesh and blood on his body.

"Hi~"

This strange scene couldn't help but make all the soldiers watching the battle take a breath.

Liu Ye also felt his scalp numb.

Cutting someone into bones with one knife is too scary.

"All officers and men obey the order and the whole army charges!"

Zhang Liao had already mounted his horse again, clamped his legs together, and took the lead in charging towards the main formation of the barbarian cavalry.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Thousands of Han cavalry followed closely behind, their shouts of killing rising into the sky.

With their retreat route cut off and their leader killed, this group of barbarian cavalry was already in a state of confusion and could not organize a decent resistance. They were broken up after just one encounter, and a mad massacre ensued.

On the way, several barbarian centurions tried to organize their men to break out, but Zhang Liao took them all away one by one.

Although the previous battle took a lot of energy from him, several ninth-level centurions were still unable to make a single move in his hands.

With all the high-end combat power being killed, the barbarian cavalry was completely wiped out in just half an hour, leaving only a few hundred war horses restlessly pawing the ground with their front hooves.

"The injured bandaged themselves, and the rest cleaned up the battlefield."

After giving the order, Zhang Liao turned the horse's head and came to Liu Ye and others, then turned over and dismounted.

"This time, my commander-in-chief cannot help you. You are able to completely annihilate the barbarian cavalry in this battle. It is a great achievement for you all.

All the previously promised rewards will be cashed out after returning to the city. As for the soldiers who died in battle, double the amount of pension will be sent to their families.

Liao, I would like to apologize to you all. "

After speaking, he solemnly bowed to everyone with fists in his hands.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious!"

Several centurions led by him quickly stepped forward to help him.

Although they knew that they were used as bait for this night attack, they would not feel resentful because of it.

The day they choose to join the army, they are ready to die on the battlefield at any time.

What's more, compared to those brothers who died, they were undoubtedly lucky.

Not only did they successfully survive, there were also generous rewards waiting for them.

As the saying goes, the dead are gone, but the living are like this, and people have to look forward.

Even Liu Ye, who was still a little unhappy in his heart, saw that Zhang Liao, who was in a high position, was able to put down his body and apologize to them, the lowest level soldiers, and the grudge in his heart completely disappeared.

There is no way, war is like this, for the final victory, someone has to sacrifice.

The only thing Zhang Liao was not honest about was not telling them the truth.

However, Liu Ye can also understand that on the one hand, it is to avoid leaking the plan, and on the other hand, it is probably also out of consideration for human nature.

After all, everyone is afraid of death. If it were made clear that they were going to be used as bait, not many people would be willing to do it.

If there is not enough bait, how can we catch the big fish of the barbarian cavalry, let alone let the barbarian commander of the seventh-level Qi gathering realm die in person.

Now that the barbarian leader is dead in battle, it means that the border battle is basically over.

As for the remaining barbarian armies, they can no longer make any waves and can hardly pose a threat to the border.

……

"Commander, the battlefield has been cleared.

In this battle, a total of 1023 enemies were wiped out, 0 were captured, and 1 high-grade war horse, 7 medium-grade war horses, and 852 low-grade war horses were harvested. Thousands of catties of horse meat, 143 intact iron tools, more than a thousand incomplete iron tools, and crude long bows were seized. 108, and 523 crude iron arrows.

Our side suffered 18 casualties, 235 were seriously injured and 512 were slightly injured. "

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Zhang Liao nodded expressionlessly.

As for the soldiers who died in the barbarian camp, they will definitely not be able to bury their bodies for the time being.

Afterwards, everyone started to return to the city with many trophies and the corpses of their comrades.

Because it is getting late, the reward for merit can only be postponed until tomorrow.

Returning to the camp alone, Liu Ye, who was exhausted physically and mentally, sat cross-legged on the bed. There was a crimson elixir in his palm, which was the body tempering elixir that was awarded after completing [Hundred-Man Killing].

Compared with the Marrow Cleansing Pill that enhances the potential of the physical body, the Body Tempering Pill that focuses on strengthening the body is undoubtedly easier to improve combat effectiveness.

But just when Liu Ye was about to take one to test the effect, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

"Ding! Today's achievement task has been refreshed."

[Fresh Off the Boat] (white) - an ordinary achievement, which can be achieved by obtaining a position of any length or the same level.

Achievement reward: 50 taels of silver

[New Riding Skills] (White) - A normal achievement, which can be achieved by riding any mount for 10 kilometers.

Achievement reward: Beast Control Pill*1

[Battlefield Recruit] (white) - an ordinary achievement, which can be achieved after going through a war with a scale of no less than 10,000 people.

Achievement reward: Prototype of combat body

"It's a pity that there is no elite achievement."

Of the three new common achievements, the first one may be easier to achieve.

With the 100 military merits he received from last night's night attack, plus the nearly barbarians he killed while defending the city, he has accumulated enough military merits to be eligible to participate in the chief selection.

After the merit-discussing and rewards are completed tomorrow, Liu Ye is going to apply for the position of chief immediately.

After all, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount.

According to the calculation that 100 coins equals one tael of silver, and 100 coins equals one tael of silver, 50 taels is equivalent to 50 coins.

This money is enough for him to buy a small courtyard in the inner city and still have a lot of surplus.

As for the last two achievements, we can only consider them in the long term.

[New Riding Skills] This achievement requires the assistance of a mount, and horses are strategic resources in this world.

Even the lowest-grade war horse is worth at least 100 taels of silver, and it must have a certain social status, otherwise there will be no place to buy it even if you have money.

Not to mention [battlefield recruits], even at the border with frequent wars, it is not easy to encounter a war with a scale of more than 10,000 people. Most of them are harassed by small groups of troops. Eighteen hundred people participated in the battle.

Yesterday's city defense battle barely met the requirements. Both sides must have invested more than 10,000 troops, but it was a pity that it was over.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ye was ready to take on all three achievement tasks.

Whether it was the beast control elixir rewarded by [Rising Newcomer] or the prototype battle body rewarded by [Battlefield Recruit], Liu Ye was very interested and he didn't want to miss it.

However, the moment Liu Ye accepted the task, a sudden system prompt made him freeze on the spot.
