Everyone was naturally very happy about this news, although there was a heavy price to pay following the news. At least hundreds of thousands of people died in the entire Bianliang, and the most important thing was that the palace suffered heavy losses. Although the young emperor in his twenties did not die, it was said that he was injured. In addition, more than half of the ministers and concubines were killed or injured.
The reason why this happened... was because the Taotie they transported back, after they took the magnet away from the Taotie, the Taotie contacted Beast King, and Beast King went directly to the location of the Taotie.
Otherwise, Taotie's attack direction would generally not be towards the palace.
But Taotie didn't go straight to Bianliang along the way. Between Great Wall and Bianliang, Song Dynasty had deliberately cleared out many ordinary people and some small towns. The main population was concentrated in some big cities.
Of course, this is to leave a strategic buffer zone.
Generally speaking, even if Taotie breaks through Great Wall, it is impossible to go directly to the core Bianliang. At least there are some cities around Bianliang, but the population of these cities is not as large as Bianliang.
As a result... the emperor acted willfully and wanted to see Taotie, and almost lost his life, but Jiang Yan Hai naturally didn't care, it didn't matter to him whether the emperor died or not.
But one thing is that this time the emperor must have been frightened. A frightened emperor would be easy to handle.
This is an advantage for them. As for whether Taotie has been really eliminated, to be honest, Jiang Yan Hai is noncommittal.
At present, according to the news passed back, Commander Lin and all the surviving people will rush back as fast as possible. All those immobile gluttons will be named one by one by Bianliang's city guards with spears piercing their eyes.
"Colonel Jiang, this is good news!" General Deng said happily.
"It's good news." Jiang Yan Hai smiled and nodded.
"I see that Colonel Jiang is not very happy." General Deng was a little confused.
"No, I'm very happy. Although we paid a heavy price, at least you succeeded in stopping Taotie. However, I don't think we can take it lightly. Whether Taotie will be eliminated is probably unknown." Jiang Yan Hai said in a calm tone.
"This is impossible. Beast King has been eliminated. Didn't you hear the news? All the Taotie can't move anymore. They have been completely killed by Bianliang's city guards." General Deng obviously didn't believe it.
"Let's wait until Commander Lin comes back, but I think Great Wall still can't relax." Jiang Yan Hai added.
"Of course." General Deng agreed with this. He believed that Taotie had been eliminated, but he would not let Great Wall relax its vigilance.
Jiang Yan Hai nodded and said nothing more. The drone's reconnaissance continued.
In the next few days, the place was quiet, as if the Taotie had really been wiped out. No Taotie appeared again, but the cave dug by the Taotie below Great Wall had been taken care of by the engineering team of the Tiger Army.
First, a large amount of stones and steel were filled in the Great Wall as supports. The bottom part of the Great Wall was filled with these things, and something similar to cement was poured into it. Of course, it was not modern cement, but an adhesive similar to cement. It was mixed with steel bars, stones and other things to form the original version of the reinforced concrete structure.
In addition, they also used pulleys, levers and other methods to transport in several blocks of monolithic granite. The smallest one weighed dozens of tons. After filling the Great Wall foundation, Black Powder was directly filled in other non-Great Wall foundation parts, causing the cave to collapse.
Because the foundation was filled in advance, although the explosion caused the city wall to shake, it did not have much impact.
And when they exploded, Jiang Yan Hai noticed that the way they exploded already had the concept of Shaped Charge in it. Obviously, this world's use of engineering, gunpowder, etc. was more advanced than the Song Dynasty on Earth at the same period.
But think about it, this is inevitable, because the intelligence that human beings can burst out under the pressure of the threat of destruction is naturally much stronger than in a peaceful society! Just look at how many weapons and equipment were updated during World War I and World War II.
In about 30 years, mankind has developed from using direct-pull bolt-fired rifles to even developing missiles at the end of World War II. It is conceivable how big the technological difficulty has been in the process.
Not to mention Tiger tanks, etc., many crazy inventions were developed during the war. From this, we can know that human beings really go to great lengths to eliminate themselves.
Although this world does not come from pressure from other countries, from another perspective, Taotie is more ferocious, at least it is a life-or-death situation with humans.
It is understandable that there have been such great advances in engineering and gunpowder.
The cave dug by Taotie has been blocked, but Shadowless Imperial Guard also made the latest strategy. This strategy of digging a tunnel can only be implemented once. There is no way to dig tunnels in other directions unless Taotie moves on a large scale.
But so far, they have never done so, because Great Wall only protects Song Dynasty, and other countries have never protected it.
If they were willing to attack other countries, they would have attacked them long ago. In this case, since they do not run to other countries, the only place where they can dig tunnels is Great Wall in the current main defense stage.
Putting aside this section of Great Wall, other Great Wall have thicker and steeper peaks underground. The thickness of those peaks cannot be dug through by Taotie's physical body, at least it cannot be dug through within ten days.
On the fifth day after Bianliang Commander Lin killed Beast King, Commander Lin, together with the Deer Army cavalry and all the surviving Shadowless Imperial Guard soldiers, returned to Great Wall. At this moment, Commander Lin was also awarded a new official position, Grand General of Cavalry.
In fact... this is a false name. In terms of official position, Commander Lin has been promoted. In terms of rights... she is still the commander-in-chief of Shadowless Imperial Guard, managing the entire Shadowless Imperial Guard... There is no increase in rights, oh, but the salary must have increased.
After coming back, the other party must have held a meeting first. Jiang Yan Hai did not participate. However, after the other party held a meeting, Commander Lin came to see Jiang Yan Hai in person.
"He left?" Jiang Yan Hai smiled immediately when he saw Commander Lin.
"Let's go. I allowed him to take away Black Powder or his companion, but he chose his companion." Commander Lin nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, General Hussars." Jiang Yan Hai smiled and said thank you.
"You know, it actually has no practical significance, except for honor, but it was obtained by Shadowless Imperial Guard sacrificing thousands of soldiers." A wry smile appeared on Commander Lin's face.
