Chapter 831: Dead and Wounded
Chapter 831: Dead and Wounded
"I heard that there are 100,000 people, but the specific number, I don't know, please spare your life," the seventh-order martial cultivator who replied was not very old, but in front of Lin Xuanzhong, his various performances were no different from ordinary martial cultivators, except for knowing that he was afraid, he did not have the momentum of a seventh-order martial cultivator.
In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, this may be the so-called greed for life and fear of death without backbone, but Lin Xuanzhong did not look down on the other party, because according to Lin Xuanzhong's speculation, if he was in the other party's position, I am afraid that it would not be much better than the other party's current performance.
"Where is that army now?" Out of understanding, Lin Xuanzhong repeated the question just now.
"In Qiufeng Slope," the young man hurriedly replied in the face of Lin Xuanzhong's inquiry.
"General Ruan, check the map and confirm this person's statement," Turning around, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Ruan Yi with a calm face.
"Yes," Ruan Yi agreed, and hurriedly went to check in front of the hanging map, and it turned out that he really saw a place called Qiufeng Slope between the camps of the two armies.
"General, Qiu Fengpo is about twelve miles away from our camp," After determining the location, Ruan Yi hurriedly turned around and reported the situation to Lin Xuanzhong.
"General Chang, if you go on another trip alone, be sure to send a message to General Fang, the danger in the camp of the former army has been lifted, if they encounter an ambush, don't fall in love with the battle," getting Ruan Yi's confirmation, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly ordered Chang Siyuan. Time was pressing, and Lin Xuanzhong had no time to think about whether Chang Siyuan's trip was safe.
"Yes," Chang Siyuan agreed, and immediately turned around and left the big tent, his completely fearless appearance seemed to be the same as Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't think about whether this trip was safe.
"Slow," as a result, when Chang Siyuan was about to go out, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly shouted to stop him, "No matter what the situation is in the rear army, after telling General Fang the news, you must come back as soon as possible." ”
"Yes," Chang Siyuan agreed again, and then left the big tent directly.
"General, what should you do with these people?" As soon as Chang Siyuan left, the other lieutenant general looked directly at the worthless prisoner in front of him, especially paying attention to the woman among them, and his naked eyes seemed to be about to be eaten alive.
Unexpectedly, that subordinate finally survived on the battlefield, but now he is in the mood to think about those things, Lin Xuanzhong was very surprised by the other party's mood, but after carefully feeling the strangeness of his body, Lin Xuanzhong seemed to be able to understand why the other party had such abnormal thoughts, but how to deal with those prisoners is indeed a problem.
It was easy to kill those men, but it might not be so simple to let his subordinates kill the woman, once they made any understandable requests, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't refuse these soldiers who had just shed their blood on the battlefield. After his eyes stopped on those prisoners, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"General, you work hard day and night, so hard, how about I leave this woman to serve the general?" Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's eyes staring straight at the woman, although he had the idea of possessing the woman, the deputy general who ripped the woman's clothes just now thought that Lin Xuanzhong had taken a fancy to the woman, but it was inconvenient to say, so he immediately reluctantly cut his love and sold Lin Xuanzhong's favor.
The other party's words made Lin Xuanzhong's face turn red, thinking that he really needed someone to serve and freshen up, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't say anything to refuse. However, to Lin Xuanzhong's surprise, although the deputy general just now didn't want to kill the man with one palm, it was a pity that the man himself was injured, so after holding on for a while, he now fell directly to the ground and died.
When the woman saw her brother die in front of her, and in her grief she heard that she might be insulted, she suddenly snatched the weapon of a night soldier next to her and kissed her neck, and then there was another corpse on the ground. Lin Xuanzhong felt a little sorry for the young woman to choose suicide so decisively, but because of the death of the brother and sister, Lin Xuanzhong did not want to kill the other two.
"Hold up the living and carry the corpse out," the disheveled woman's corpse on the ground always made Lin Xuanzhong feel a little strange, holding a kind of out-of-sight thought, after forcibly calming himself down, Lin Xuanzhong directly ordered the two lieutenants.
"General Ruan, you come with me outside to have a look," After the two lieutenants were ordered to take the corpses and the living out, Lin Xuanzhong had already walked down from the front of the military case.
"See the general," Not long after the two of them walked outside the account, Zhang Jiutian greeted him with a group of people.
"General, the personnel who have sealed the city have been withdrawn, and we have won," Zhou Wenfeng covered his bloody shoulder and reported the situation to Lin Xuanzhong.
"Everyone's hard work," Lin Xuanzhong smiled and looked at the group of people in front of him, wanting to thank them.
"The general's words are serious, if it weren't for the general himself to go into battle, we would already be lonely ghosts, where would we have the opportunity to stand in front of the general," After meeting with Zhang Jiutian, Zhou Wenfeng also learned that it was precisely because of Lin Xuanzhong's participation in the Eastern Battlefield that Zhang Jiutian and they were able to successfully achieve the final victory.
"General, what now?" Zhang Jiutian was not as polite as Zhou Wenfeng, and asked Lin Xuanzhong directly about the matter.
Mobilize all the manpower to assist the pharmacist in treating the wounded, count the casualties as soon as possible, and then gather some manpower, Ben Jiang just asked the people in Sword City, there may be danger in the rear army, Ben will want to take people over to see.
"General, your injury is important, let's leave these things to us," At the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong was still methodical, so young but showing a bearing far beyond them, Yang Shifeng, who was walking with Zhou Wenfeng and others, admired Lin Xuanzhong more and more. Compared with the previous respect for Lin Xuanzhong, Yang Shifeng's attitude is now more sincere.
"What General Yang said is, General, you should take care of your health, just leave these military affairs to me and wait for you to deal with them," Looking at Lin Xuanzhong's bloodstains, Zhou Wenfeng nodded and agreed with Yang Shifeng's statement. At the same time, those generals who knew that Lin Xuanzhong had taken the risk of participating in the war were all worried.
The reason why they survived to the end has an undeniable relationship with Lin Xuanzhong, and after seeing Lin Xuanzhong's true strength and leadership ability, Lin Xuanzhong has become their backbone.
"You don't have to worry, I only have a sword wound on my body," so many people looked at themselves with a concerned face, Lin Xuanzhong was very uncomfortable, in order to let those people look away as soon as possible, Lin Xuanzhong had to make them believe in their words more. So, Lin Xuanzhong directly took off a piece of clothing outside and showed it to those people.
When Lin Xuanzhong's sturdy physique was revealed, just from Lin Xuanzhong's figure, everyone could see that Lin Xuanzhong was a person who cultivated physical arts, because a physique like this was not something ordinary people could have. Under their careful observation, there was only one wound bandaging position on Lin Xuanzhong's body, and no other wounds existed.
"The general said it's okay, it's naturally fine, you still care about your injuries," when the generals were surprised that Lin Xuanzhong was really not injured, Zhang Jiutian looked calm, and he didn't feel anything at all, or Zhang Jiutian had long been accustomed to the surprise of the generals.
"General Yang, you arrange some people to set up sentry on the mountains on the east and west sides to prevent those people from coming back," Zhang Jiutian's words calmed Lin Xuanzhong a lot, and Lin Xuanzhong directly thought of one thing.
"Yes," Yang Shifeng agreed, no longer busy being surprised, and turned to a soldier gathering area to arrange the things Lin Xuanzhong ordered in detail. At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong returned to the big tent with other generals.
After the attack just now, they were physically and mentally exhausted, but there were still many things to deal with, whether it was Lin Xuanzhong or other generals, they couldn't rest for the time being. After asking someone to bring some water, wash it briefly, and Lin Xuanzhong directly changed into clean clothes. After being busy with his own affairs, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought that he hadn't told Ruan Yi about Ruan Ming's situation, so he directly asked him to go and see Ruan Ming.
As the second commander of the Eastern Battlefield, after participating in the battle, due to the chaos on the scene, Ruan Yi rarely noticed Ruan Ming, let alone thought that Ruan Ming would be so seriously injured. After Lin Xuanzhong's euphemistic explanation, when he came to Ruan Ming's bed, Ruan Yi looked worried, and kept asking Xue Yin if Ruan Ming would be okay. However, as Xue Yin said to Lin Xuanzhong just now, it is uncertain whether Ruan Ming can wake up for the time being.
While Ruan Yi was visiting Ruan Ming, the other generals were busy healing their wounds, finding a place in the big tent one by one to sit down, and then cleaning their wounds with the water sent by the soldiers below. At this level of these generals, the external injuries on their bodies did not need to be dealt with by a pharmacist at all. As long as there is trauma medicine, they can help each other bandage it.
When those generals applied the medicine, Lin Xuanzhong, who was already feeling sober, smelled that the smell in the big tent was too strong, and couldn't help but want to go outside to breathe, but unfortunately his physical condition did not support Lin Xuanzhong's idea. In addition, the matter outside is not over yet, Lin Xuanzhong has to wait for Zhang Jiutian to come back to recover his life, and he has to wait for Chang Siyuan to come back, so no matter how tired he is, Lin Xuanzhong can't rest.
Little by little, half an hour passed in anxious waiting. Under the command of Zhang Jiutian and other generals, the wounded have been treated intensively, and the casualty figures have been counted. Counting the dead and wounded in the previous two nights and the 1,000 armor soldiers sent by Fang Quyin, the total was 42,100 people, and only 28,100 people were still alive.
In three consecutive days, the front army lost more than 14,000 people, which was more than one-third of the original total strength. Among those who survived, there were also seriously injured and possibly dead. Now the number of wounded accounted for half of the current strength, and such a bad situation made Lin Xuanzhong realize that in the next period of time, their combat strength would not be half of the original. If there is nothing wrong with the rear army tonight, they will join forces tomorrow.
I thought about it so many times before, but I didn't expect that it would be the army of Gu Guo who ambushed the rear army, it seems that the Qingyuan Great Power is not really indifferent, and all the actions of Emperor Yang are conspiracy. After tonight's incident, tomorrow we have to find a way to spread the situation of the attack to Zhao Xu, and then we may be waiting for reinforcements on the spot.
