[69 Book Bar - www.] The Snake People have retreated to the camp, and I don’t know when they will attack again. Although the casualties between our army and the Snake People Army were roughly equal in this battle, Shen Xiping’s death in battle made everyone in the army fearful. I am afraid that no one will dare to fight with the snake people in the wild for the time being. Wu Hou must also have thought of this. When we were fighting outside, he had ordered the craftsmen in the transport camp to step up the repairs.
The Dragon Scale Army was severely damaged this time, with only 221 of the 500 men left. The forward battalion also suffered casualties this time, and now there are only more than 1,200 people left, and 20 centurions were also killed. Three of them were killed, two of them were newly promoted, and one was the son of the minister of household affairs in the central court. I don’t know how Wu Hou would explain it when he returned. In my fifth battalion, two commanders were killed in the battle, Shen Tuyi That one had no human beings and the whole army was wiped out. Now, there are only fifty-seven people left in the fifth battalion, almost half of them. This is not the worst. The battalions of Pu Anli who rushed to the front have each lost half of their strength. As mentioned above, there are only thirty-one people left in Pu Anli's third battalion. If it weren't for Lu Gongxing's caution, I'm afraid we would have ended up like the Dragon Scale Army.
I looked at the forward battalion lined up. Although it still had vigor, it was like a knife that had been used too much, and the edge was full of chips. How many people had been buried in foreign lands and could never return to their hometowns. ?However, this war has just begun, and I don’t know how many people will have their bones buried in different places.
I was lighting up the soldiers of the fifth battalion who were retreating into the city. At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed: "General Shen!"
I was startled, thinking it was Shen Xiping's ghost who appeared. When I turned my head, I saw several soldiers from the first battalion pointing at the Snake Man camp in the distance.
Looking far ahead, it was already afternoon, and there was still dust in the snake camp, making it difficult to see what was inside. But in front of the formation, a flagpole had been set up, with a large flag with two human heads and snake bodies flying on it. There is a head hanging on the flag. Of course, it is difficult to see the face from so far away, but everyone can guess that it must be Shen Xiping's head.
If Shen Xiping hadn't saved me, he probably wouldn't have died. Thinking of this, my heart ached. Then, it felt like a knife had been cut on my waist, and there was a sudden sharp pain. I gritted my teeth and wanted to harden. Despite it, the pain still came in waves, making me break out in a cold sweat.
Qi Lie on the side saw my appearance and said, "General, what's wrong?"
I touched my waist with my hand and said, "It's nothing serious."
As soon as I said these words, I felt so painful that I couldn't stand upright. If I tilted, I would fall down. Qi Lie supported me and shouted in fright: "General! General!" Several people from the fifth battalion! The commanders ignored the military orders and surrounded them. At this time, Lu Gongxing, who was taking roll call in the following battalions, walked over and said, "What happened?"
Qi Lie said in a panic: "Lu Tongzhi, General Chu suddenly fell down."
I struggled to stand up, but the pain in my waist prevented me from straightening up. I was curled up like a shrimp, almost bending to the ground. Lu Gong walked over, lifted up my armor, and looked at it. He exclaimed: "You are injured! Don't move. Send General Chu back to the supply camp and call the medical officer for treatment."
I wanted to say a few words, but the pain in my waist made it hard for me to speak. Qi Lie and Tan Qing took off my armor and helped me walk towards the supply camp. I felt a little embarrassed, but I could only let myself go. them.
The medical camp is also in the supply camp. These days, the medical camp is full of people. These are still seriously injured people. If they are minor injuries, they can only be bandaged and then go back. As soon as I entered the medical camp, the two dozen medical officers were there.
Very busy.
Qi Lie helped me lie down on a couch and said loudly: "Quick, medical officer! Let our general take a look."
A medical officer nearby was bandaging a young officer who had a stab wound on his shoulder. Without raising his head, he said, "Wait a moment."
Qi Lie said angrily: "Hurry up, our general..."
I held back the pain and said, "Xiao Lie, don't disturb others."
Qi Lie said: "General, you are in such pain that you cannot delay."
The young officer who was wrapping his shoulders had his armor aside. He was seriously injured, but he was calm and composed. At this time, he said coldly: "It's not a big injury. Is there any need to scream?"
Qi Lie said angrily: "Shut up! Why are you trying to be a hero with such a slight stab wound? Do you know who our general is?"
I was a little angry and said: "Xiao Lie, don't talk nonsense, let others come first, I can handle it."
Although I could bear it, the pain in my waist still made me break out in a cold sweat. After the young officer finished wrapping it, the medical officer came over and asked, "Where is the injury?"
I couldn't speak, so I pointed at my waist. The medical officer untied my robe, and the clothes inside were soaked with blood. This even shocked me. I didn't expect that on the battlefield.
He was injured, the injury was so serious.
The medical officer cut open his clothes, took a look, and said, "It was a blunt force trauma. This injury is just a skin injury, not serious, but it hurts a lot, and you can really bear it."
Qi Lie said proudly: "Our general is the first General Chu Xiuhong to rush into the city."
Being the first to rush into Gaojiu City is really worthy of bragging. To this day, Qi Lie still regards it as a source of pride. I couldn't help but blush a little, but suddenly I saw the young officer walking up to me, kneeling down and saluting.
, said: "Are you General Chu? The young general is rude."
I was a little surprised. It was strange that this young officer could be so arrogant and respectful. I said: "You are..."
He said: "The young general Qin Quan, the outpost officer of the Longlin Army, was rude to General Chu just now. I am really ashamed."
The sentry officer of the Dragon Scale Army outpost is actually not lower than me in terms of official rank. He is the 11th level among the 13th level military attaches. Although the forward battalion is a bit special, he treats me like a subordinate when he meets his superior, which is a bit humble.
share.
I said: "General Qin, please don't be polite, we are just on the same level."
Qin Quan said: "I kneel down to you for Lord Shen."
I couldn't help but blush. Shen Xiping's death could almost be said to be to save me. Although when the four snake men attacked him, he might not be able to hold on even if he concentrated on it, but he fired a spear to save me.
I distracted him.
No matter what, I feel grateful to Shen Xiping.
I choked up a bit and said: "Master Shen is a hero. I was not able to save his body. I feel guilty. You don't need to be grateful to me."
Qin Quan smiled and said: "We are the Dragon Scale Army trained by Master Shen. We will never let you lose your head. General Chu, please rest assured."
I was taken aback and propped my elbows on the couch. At this time, the medical officer said at the side: "Don't move, don't you want to do it for yourself?"
Qin Quan said: "General Chu, please take good care of your injuries."
His left shoulder was already covered with a layer of gauze, but he seemed to be fine at this moment. He grabbed the battle armor that he had taken off and put it on. While tying the tether of the battle armor, he said: "We will definitely snatch General Shen's head." return."
The medical officer was cleaning my wound. My injury was not too serious. After all, the snake man stabbed me with a spear without a tip through his armor, but it also left a deep and terrible wound on my lower abdomen. Although the two-part wound was just a flesh wound, the snake man's arm strength was really formidable. The medical officer sprinkled some powder on my wound and sewed it up with a needle. This was really scary, but I was fine. The elephant didn't even feel any pain. I was just a little surprised and said: "You want to sneak attack on the snake camp?"
Qin Quan just smiled, saluted me, and walked out of the tent.
The medical officer wrapped me in gauze in circles. After wrapping it up, he said: "General, okay, it's nothing serious. You should have a good rest and eat well these days. If you recover quickly, you can have the knot tomorrow." Just say it."
I smiled bitterly. Rest? If the snake people don't attack, then I can rest for a few days. I touched my waist and wrapped it with gauze, which seemed like an iron hoop. It was not very comfortable. But the wound only hurt a little. It wasn't very powerful. I moved a little and said, "Medical officer, your skills are really amazing. I don't feel much pain anymore."
The medical officer said: "Don't take your life as a joke. I sprinkled you with Wangyou fruit powder, so you don't feel much pain. When the medicine wears off tomorrow, you will feel pain."
I said: "Then it won't hurt today, right?"
At this time, Tan Qing and Qi Lie said at the same time: "General, what do you want to do?"
I said, "We'll talk about it later." I looked at their stunned expressions and said, "What's wrong? Did you think I would steal General Shen's head at night?"
They didn't say anything, but I knew they must have thought so. I smiled and said, "I don't think my life is that cheap."
