Chapter Ninety-Nine: Victory

More than 2,000 soldiers in nine villages and eighteen villages were defeated like this, trampling all the way, and the number of dead and wounded was probably more than that of the melee.

The tigers and leopards also pounced into the crowd, wreaked havoc for a while, and then fled. No matter how powerful an animal is, it is afraid of humans, especially when many humans gather.

Only the giant ape was fearless in the face of so many people. He picked up the wood and slaughtered a lot, and finally heard the whistling of Lingzhu'er, and then reluctantly left the battlefield.

The warriors of the Yue tribe were surprised. In the melee, although they were not afraid, they knew that if they continued to fight, they would definitely not be the opponent of an enemy who was many times their size. Unexpectedly, the other party retreated inexplicably.

Some of the warriors also saw the appearance of giant apes and beasts. Only then did the soldiers know that it was Lingzhu'er who saved everyone. I am so grateful. The awe and gratitude for Lingzhu'er are a little more.

However, Chen Sheng and that Fan Da also made a lot of efforts. If it weren't for Chen Sheng's timely appearance and stabilization of the battle situation on the other side of the cliff, before Lingzhu'er appeared to drive snakes, more women and children would have been killed by the other party, and they would even have rushed over from behind, destroying the Yue people on the second line of defense in one fell swoop.

Not to mention Fan Da. If it weren't for the infinite power of the wooden stick in his hand, the defense line wouldn't have been able to hold up for so long, even if Lingzhu'er could attract a mountain full of fierce beasts, it would be too late.

But this is not the time to say words of gratitude. In the battle tonight, the vitality of the entire Yue clan was greatly injured, many warriors were killed in the battle, and the number of injured was even more, and Chen Sheng was busy treating the injured in the second half of the night. The injured people were mostly injured by weapons, most of them were skin injuries, Chen Sheng used his medical skills, sewed up their wounds, and applied Jinchuang medicine, the pain of the soldiers suddenly decreased, and the smile towards Chen Sheng became more and more sincere.

The old and weak women and children of the whole village were also mobilized to clean up the destroyed villages, while the soldiers seized the time to repair the gates of the village, holding on to the surroundings, and some had to guard the captured prisoners. Whether these captives will be killed or released will have to wait for the old patriarch to wake up before he can decide.

Most of the soldiers who attacked the cliff were caught by snake venom and locked up in caves. Chen Sheng knew very well that if the snake venom on their bodies was not solved, they would inevitably die, so he begged Lingzhu'er to save them.

Lingzhu'er also has no antidote to snake venom, she can only repel snakes, but she can't cure snake venom. In the end, Chen Sheng had no choice but to prescribe his own medicine and let people go to the back mountains to find some herbs, while he helped these unlucky guys cut open the wounds of snake bites, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and finally applied herbs. Although this method cannot cure the snake venom, it can alleviate the poison, and when they return to their respective villages in the future, they should be able to slowly recuperate for a period of time.

When asking about Lingzhu'er snake medicine, Chen Sheng also took the opportunity to raise his own questions, asking her how she was able to control the poisonous snake to attack differently.

Ling Zhu'er was still a little timid, thought about it, and then said: "It's not that I can control the poisonous snake, it's that the snake is afraid of the smell on your body." ”

"Oh?" Chen Sheng was puzzled. What kind of smell does he have on him that will make the poisonous snake avoid it? The serpent didn't just avoid him, it avoided the entire village.

"Because you've drunk our wine." Lingzhuer said: "In the wine brewed in our village, there is a realgar. ”

I see.

Male yellow repellent snake insects, poisonous snakes naturally do not like to approach. But this is also difficult to explain, under the urging of Lingzhu'er, these poisonous snakes who have lost their minds, where do they have time to pay attention to who has the smell of realgar?

Asking this question, Ling Zhu'er replied with a smile: "Because I have liked the smell of realgar since I was a child, I always carry a sachet like this on my body, and when the poisonous snake smells this smell, it will think it is me." ”

Chen Sheng suddenly realized. I thought that I had drunk a lot of bad wine tonight, otherwise he would definitely have a share of the poisonous snake who was chased and bitten by a poisonous snake tonight.

After Ling Zhu'er replied a few words, she returned to the bamboo liao and continued to take care of the old patriarch who was still unconscious. And Chen Sheng was constantly treating the injured, and it was already dawn in a blink of an eye.

After dawn, the village looked devastated, and blood stains could be seen everywhere, and the smell of blood lingered in the village. The bodies of the dead have been packed and placed, just waiting for the old wizard to start the sacrificial ceremony, and then the soldiers who died in battle will be buried. The women of the dead men in the house were whimpering and crying, and the whole village was filled with a deep sadness. A total of forty or fifty people died in the entire village last night, and this loss was a very heavy blow to the Yue people, who did not have many soldiers.

The losses in the nine villages and eighteen villages were not light, there were nearly 100 corpses left behind, and more than 50 people were captured. These captured warriors were likely to be put to death or turned into slaves. Of course, if their village is willing to spend a lot of money to redeem them, it is also possible, all of this depends on the meaning of the old patriarch and elders.

The one who betrayed the village was also captured. Under torture, he confessed to colluding with other villages. What shocked everyone was that it was not just last night that Ben Sheng began to betray the interests of the village, including the injury of the old patriarch before, and it was he who colluded with people from other villages to attract the army of the Dongou King, and the result was the previous battle. The purpose is to kidnap Lingzhu'er from the Dongou King, and he can become the patriarch of the Yue clan.

Later, although his plan did not succeed, the old patriarch was injured by a cold arrow and was seriously injured and dying, which was equivalent to indirectly helping Ben Sheng, he could compete for the position of the patriarch openly, so before the patriarch had not lost his breath, he couldn't wait to lobby the clansmen to hold a funeral ceremony for the old patriarch, and then bury him. In addition, Ben Sheng quietly contacted the leaders of the nine villages and eighteen villages as his backup, if he couldn't become the patriarch, then let him help seize the throne. A certain amount of compensation will be given afterwards. Hearing that Chen Sheng had already helped the old patriarch finish the operation, and Ling Zhu'er brought back the elixir, Ben Sheng could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart, and immediately sneaked out of the cottage secretly, contacted the leader of the nearby village, and asked him to call on soldiers to pacify the Yue clan in one fell swoop. At this point, Ben Sheng no longer considered the question of the patriarch, he hoped to catch Lingzhu'er and get the elixir she found, and give it to the king of Dongou in exchange for greater benefits......

After listening to Bao Sheng's confession, the elders of the clan shook their heads again and again, sighing that such a warrior had betrayed his own people for his own selfishness. Chen Sheng didn't say anything, but he knew that among the grain cases that he and Meng Yi and others were pursuing, there were court ministers involved. As long as it is for the sake of interests, not to mention the people around you, even the interests of the country are betrayed, there are really many people in this world.
