Just as Zhao Chen was rewarding the troops and entertaining the guests.
On a small path a hundred miles away, more than thirty soldiers with charred bodies and miserable expressions were rushing forward. One could even hear the low screams of the wounded from time to time.
"Uncle, we should rest for a while. The other brothers can't hold on any longer.”When Jing Jie saw the miserable state of the soldiers behind him, he was not only sad, but he also walked to the front and pleaded with Jing Yu, who was constantly identifying the location and checking the surroundings.
"Mm, alright. From the looks of it, the enemy shouldn't be chasing us anymore. Let our brothers have a good rest.”Jing Yu turned around and looked at the soldiers who had escaped with him. After thinking carefully, he said to Jing Jie,"
After Jing Jie heard his uncle's permission, he happily walked to the back. It was obvious that he wanted to tell the injured soldiers about this news.
"Sigh. This battle was really a waste of time! How did they lose? They didn't even know where the enemy attacked from and how many people there were. Who were those enemies? Sigh!" After his nephew left, Jing Yu thought about the battle just now. Not only was he angry out of embarrassment, but he also hit the tree beside him ruthlessly. The strong tree was hit by his fist and a big pit was formed. Clearly, his martial arts were not weak either.
When Jing Yu recalled how he had suffered such a crushing defeat, he could not help but sigh.
He thought about it for a long time but still could not figure it out. He could only turn around and go to visit the injured soldiers.
A few of the soldiers were the most seriously injured and kept coughing up blood. The rest of them were also heavily injured. Most of them had lost a lot of blood from the arrow wounds and were very weak.
Jing Yu lowered his body to carefully examine their wounds. His expression was solemn. Clearly, the situation was not optimistic.
"Jie 'er, come here." Jing Yu waved his hand and called his nephew over. When Jing Jie saw this, he quickly got up and walked over.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
"Jie 'er, if those injured soldiers don't get their wounds treated soon, they might not last more than a few days. How about this, you take a few soldiers who are less injured and know herbs to see if there are any nearby that can be used to treat their injuries and pick some back. Also, see if there's anything to eat and bring some back. Go!" Jing Yu said to Jing Jie solemnly.
Jing Jie nodded. Obviously, he knew that if they didn't get treatment soon, at least half of these people wouldn't be able to go home with them.
He immediately ordered three or four soldiers to search nearby.
Jing Yu lowered his body and comforted the soldiers from time to time, making them even more eager to live.
Through the inquiry, Jing Yu learned a piece of information: Those enemies were wearing black armor, holding bows and crossbows, and speaking in the Qin language. Based on this situation, he could confirm that those enemies were the Qin army.
"This is bad. It's actually the Qin army. When we broke out of the encirclement just now, the sky was dark. I was also a little suspicious, but I'm not sure yet.
"Now, we can be sure that those are the Qin army. Now that our country is fighting against the Yan Country, the Qin army suddenly attacked our country's border. What should we do? The entire southern army has less than 100,000 soldiers, and most of them are scattered in various cities. Only Que and Zhong City have 30,000 soldiers that can be mobilized.
Sigh, he could only go back and report to the City Lord first. Troubled times!" Jing Yu felt that it was very troublesome and was somewhat worried about the current situation.
At this moment, Jing Jie returned with two wild rabbits and a large pile of herbs to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
"Let's think about how to return to the city safely first.”He could only throw away those thoughts and quickly go forward to help deal with the herbs and food.
He crushed the herbs and applied them to the wounds of the wounded and began to prepare dinner.
Meanwhile, Wang Jian, who was 40 miles away, was currently leading his army to camp in the wilderness. He had already received a military report from Zhao Chen, knowing that he had already taken down two cities and opened up two gaps for the army to attack.
At this moment in the commander's tent, Wang Jian and a few high ranking generals were discussing.
"Alright, alright! I didn't expect this Zhao brat to be so shocking. How did he take down two cities in a row so quickly? This is great. Our army can directly attack them. Haha!”After reading the battle report, Wang Jian's face was full of smiles. He stroked his white beard as he spoke to the generals below.
"It's all because of Great General's insight that we have such a situation.”
"Yes, yes, it's all because the Great General has been wise in appointing people. Congratulations, General, for obtaining another good general.”
The generals below all stood up and agreed, all praising Wang Jian for his good judgment of people.
"Hey, don't say that. It's that kid Zhao Chen who has both wisdom and courage. That's why he made such a huge contribution.
Right, our army must speed up tomorrow and reach the destination as soon as possible. After all, speed is the most important thing in war!
Don't let them be prepared, or our casualties will be greater.”Wang Jian slowly withdrew his smile and warned those generals with a serious face.
Those generals were also aware of these pros and cons, so they also replied with a serious expression,"Yes, General."
The next morning, before the sky was completely bright, the originally quiet and deserted camp immediately became lively.
Smoke rose from the chimneys as groups of Qin soldiers, armed to the teeth with long swords and bows, ate their meals in an orderly manner, preparing to set off immediately after eating.
After the cavalrymen finished eating, they began to patrol the surroundings and be on guard.
A group of elite cavalrymen in black clothes and armor, holding spears and carrying crossbows, slowly walked out of the camp.
"Ta, ta, ta." The voices were loud and clear.
The rest of the infantrymen also began to slowly walk out of the camp.
Bang bang, shua shua. Deafening footsteps and the sound of armor rubbing against each other filled the air.
Following closely behind were heavy carriages, loaded with large amounts of equipment and provisions.
Finally, there were some troops that brought up the rear. After dismantling the camp, they slowly followed behind as the rear army.
A black torrent spread out as far as the eye could see.
As the saying goes, if there are more than a thousand people, you can't see the end. There were more than ten thousand people. Not to mention these 100,000 soldiers?
The orderly and loud footsteps of the army could be said to shake ten thousand miles. The earth could be heard from ten miles away.
Zhao Chen, who was in Lu County, had received the news that General Wang Jian would be coming to Lu County today for a meeting.
He kept sending out scouts to keep an eye on the movements near the city and ordered them to report the situation from time to time.
Therefore, when Wang Jian's troops were less than five miles away from the city, they opened the city gates and had the troops line up. Zhao Chen himself, along with Xu Rong, Gao Shun, and the other generals who had informed them beforehand, waited outside the city gates to welcome General Wang Jian.
