Chapter 176 Destroying a Country in Three Days 3
Chapter 176: Destroying a Country in Three Days (3)
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A dense barrage of arrows hit the shields of the Song army. Although they were alert, several soldiers were still a step too late and were hit by poisonous arrows.
The soldiers under the shield quickly pulled their injured comrades under the shield. At the same time, the nearby team also discovered the enemy. They raised their crossbows and shot at the trees without hesitation.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Continuous screams came from the tree, and several figures fell from the tree one after another.
Before they could see the situation clearly after they fell from the tree, Song Jun came up and chopped off the opponent's head with a cruel smile. The blood spattered out instantly, dyeing the green branches and leaves red.
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in the jungle.
Linyi soldiers hide in various places, including trees, pits, and bushes. In addition, Linyi soldiers are generally not tall, so they are completely elusive.
The Song army's counterattack was also extremely sharp.
Once you are attacked, use a large shield to protect yourself, and then your teammates around you will raise their crossbows to cover the enemy's hiding place with fire.
Moreover, because the soldiers in Linyi were disguised and the country was weak, they could not be given very good armor.
Therefore, they suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Song army's brutal firepower.
Naturally, the Song army also felt uncomfortable. Although the opponent's weapons were lagging behind, because their attacks were always concealed and they would suffer painful torture once they penetrated into the flesh, many soldiers had already lost their combat effectiveness and were taken out of the jungle.
In a half-day battle, the Song army killed more than 300 Linyi soldiers, but dozens of them were left in the jungle forever.
About two hundred people were hit by poisonous arrows and could only wait for death with expressions of despair on their faces.
Wang Zhene came to a soldier. He had been injured for only half an hour, but the wound had rotted and his flesh had turned black. He looked extremely terrifying.
Du Huidu also came over with great heartache at this time.
"Look, General Wang."
"The good men in our army are much stronger than the cubs on the opposite side!"
"If we really fight together, we can defeat one against ten."
"Even if they can't fight, I hope they die on the battlefield instead of dying on the bed after being poisoned!"
As he spoke, Du Huidu slammed his fist on the pillar beside him with anger.
Wang Zhene looked at the wounds of the other soldiers but was a little lost in thought.
"Du Jishi."
"Um?"
"Go and get a dagger, and then find some herbs, such as honeysuckle and chrysanthemum, which can clear away heat and relieve fire."
Du Huidu looked at Wang Zhene in surprise: "General, does he still understand medicine?"
"don't know."
Wang Maide looked at the wound and recalled the scene where Liu Yizhen treated him in Liuhuibao.
"But that will probably work!"
After a while, someone ran back with two things.
"General, there are no herbal medicines, but there are some white medicines here, which are secret recipes from my village. Can you think of them?"
"Can!"
Wang Zhene felt a little unsure at this time, but he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse.
Wang Zhene, who was holding the dagger, followed Liu Yizhen's example and burned the dagger several times with fire, then placed the knife on the soldier's wound.
"It might hurt a little."
The soldier saw that Wang Zhen'e was here to save him, so he simply said with a Jiaozhou accent: "It hurts! As long as you can save me and prevent me from dying like a coward, you can do anything!"
Soldiers are afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of the death of a coward!
"Good boy!"
Wang Zhene praised him and inserted the dagger into the soldier's wound.
"hiss!"
The severe pain made the soldier's whole body tremble.
Wang Zhene immediately asked several other soldiers to hold him down, then chipped away the rotten flesh around him, and finally applied white medicine on it.
By this time, the soldier had already fainted from the pain.
Wang Zhene took back the dagger: "What happens next depends on your fate."
Surprisingly, the soldier woke up after an hour, and his wounds had scabbed over!
"Long live!"
This news made the soldiers of Song Dynasty cheer!
What everyone fears most is to die after being injured and humiliated on the bed. Now that there is a solution, everyone is excited.
When Du Huidu found out, he burst into tears and brought his own soldiers to thank Wang Zhene.
"That's... not necessary."
Wang Zhene also felt a little guilty, not knowing how good the other party was.
Could it be Liu Yizhen’s move?
But they can't care about that much at the moment. The Song army's morale is very good at this time, but it is a good time to attack.
For a time, the Song army launched a strong counterattack and pushed back the position of Lin Yi soldiers for a full mile.
"Damn it! What's going on with Song Jun across the way?"
General Su Peng of Linyi cursed angrily when he saw the Song army on the opposite side was so resilient.
He had previously been confused by Song Army coach Wang Zhene and wanted to be complacent with his desperate tactics.
But now seeing the Song Army's momentum made him start to fear.
If the Song Army really came to exchange Lin Yi soldiers for one regardless of the cost, the final winner would definitely be the Song Army!
There are only 100,000 households in Linyi country.
However, there were more than 700,000 households in Jiaozhou, Guangzhou of Liu Song Dynasty, and it was said that there were also hundreds of thousands of households in Guangzhou next door.
The soldiers of Lin Yi can be wiped out by just attrition.
"What to do, what to do?"
Su Peng was already a little scared and began to think of a way out.
But at this moment, a piece of bad news came from behind——
"The general is in trouble!"
A wounded soldier came from the rear and found Su Peng in mourning: "General! Not long after you left, a large number of Song warships came from the sea to attack Ou Licheng. Now Ou Licheng is probably broken.
!”
Su Peng was stunned when he heard the news.
"General! General!"
The surrounding adjutants were also panicked at this time and urgently needed someone to make the decision for them.
But at this time, Su Peng seemed to have lost his mind and kept muttering to himself: "Liars, liars, they are all liars..."
"General!"
Seeing Su Peng like this, the others were even more confused.
"General, there are also elephant soldiers! The elephant soldiers that the people of the Central Plains fear the most!"
Suddenly someone reminded Su Peng, and Su Peng regained some clarity.
"Yes, yes!"
"We also have omnipotent elephant soldiers!"
Su Peng ordered in a trembling voice: "Let go of the elephant soldiers! Trample those Song troops to death! Trample them to death!"
At this time, he no longer knew whether to move forward or retreat, so he had to use whatever moves he had, just as crazy as a gambler.
The Song army in the jungle was killing everyone in the jungle, and everyone was smiling.
"Brothers, come on! Kill all these poisonous insects!"
"Come on!"
But just when the soldiers were about to charge, some veterans heard the voice they least wanted to hear in their lives.
"Moo!"
It sounds like a cow's braying, but it's longer than a cow's braying.
Before anyone could react, large tracts of vegetation deep in the jungle were overwhelmed, and countless huge figures appeared.
"Retreat! It's Linyi's elephant!"
Chapter completed!
