Chapter 184: The Great War
Lan Yuanfeng listened to their conversation quietly, and suddenly saw a black dot swaying in the white sky.
he shouted in surprise.
"Father, my aunt is back again."
The deceased Cui Yongan was suddenly overjoyed and immediately ran in the direction where Chen Shiyi came from.
Chen Shiyi got off the carriage, looked at the few people, and smiled slightly.
"Brother Cui, my food was stolen by someone. How it ended up in the military camp has nothing to do with me, right?"
Cui Yongan was very happy.
"Of course you are right, Chen Shiyi, you are so kind and righteous. You have been able to survive this period. The Lan Family Army regards you as a benefactor."
Chen Shiyi said sadly.
"I don't deserve to be your benefactor, but I am so heartbroken..."
Lan Qinghe stepped forward and said.
"Eleven, thank you very much. Don't worry, I will compensate you in other ways."
Chen Shiyi and other guys from Anzhou stayed.
The snow was so heavy that all the roads were closed.
The most important thing is that a war broke out in Wuqiang.
Last night, 3,000 Wuqiang troops raided a sentry post in Yuanmugou on the border. Hundreds of Lan's soldiers at the post were killed, and a war was about to break out.
On the vast land, the snow is vast, with scattered white dots floating on a row of uneven spears and sharp spears with a cold silver light.
Looking back from the spear, tens of thousands of soldiers were densely packed and standing in line.
The local soldiers were arranged in formation on one side after another.
The tall and mighty shields, each as tall as a person, were neatly arranged in front of the army, like a newly built wall, indestructible.
The sound of horns from the watchtower continued, and the beating of bronze drums on all sides was like a torrential rain, stirring up the soldiers' determination to win every battle. Messengers rode on large horses, constantly shuttling back and forth in the formation, and flags fluttered in the falling snow.
A chariot that required dozens of strong men to push came over, leaving huge deep marks on the snow-covered ground.
The crossbow was mounted on the chariot, and the crossbow arrow was like a long spear, with a sharp arrow head and a thick and long arrow body.
"hold head high…"
All that was heard was a continuous stream of shouts. The crossbow arrows had been placed in the crossbows. A row of neatly arranged arrows were all pointing towards the grey sky, with the arrow tails pressing downwards.
"put!"
The neatly arranged huge crossbow arrows were like giant hunting birds, soaring in the sky, whizzing down, and rushing straight towards the Wuqiang army.
As soon as the war crossbow came out, the Wuqiang Kingdom was terrified, as this was the nemesis of cavalry.
They saw crossbows pouring down one after another. Their soldiers were unable to dodge and were hit by four of them in a row like candied haws. They fell down in unison, with blood splattering everywhere.
The running warhorse was pierced through the intestines by a crossbow arrow that fell from the sky, and fell heavily to the ground. The white ground was instantly covered with blood. The cavalryman on its back was thrown far away, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
The Blue Army waved its black flag.
The formation changed, and the archers rushed in from the rear, lined up in four rows, drew their arrows, and fired their bows in one go.
"put…"
Suddenly, a rain of arrows flew towards the Wuqiang Kingdom. The soldiers on the opposite side blocked some of the arrows with their shields, while the rest were shot down to the ground.
The flag on the tower was waved, and a second round of arrow rain came over.
"forward!"
At the front, the wall formed by shields moved forward quickly. Behind them was a team of three-meter-long spears mounted on the shields, forming a spear and a shield that could be used for both attack and defense.
The archery formation advanced along with the shield team, shooting arrows as they went, suppressing the Wuqiang Kingdom so that they dared not move forward a single step.
The strength of the Wuqiang should not be underestimated. Their soldiers were all trained on horseback. One team of cavalry dodged the bows and arrows and rode straight into the square formation.
The shields continued to move forward. The cavalrymen who slipped in were surrounded by the powerful local soldiers in the rear. They dodged the spears and hit them with the stone slings in their hands. Some cavalrymen were accidentally hit on the head by the stones, and their brains burst immediately. It was a terrible scene.
The chariots moved forward slowly, and the slingshots kept hitting the opponent.
The overwhelming force of the army destroyed the Wuqiang Kingdom.
Lan Qinghe, standing in the car, was majestic and had sharp eyes, looking down upon the world. His black armor looked even brighter under the reflection of the snow, reflecting the light and swaying above the flag flying above his head.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, he slowly drew a sword from his waist, pointed the tip of the sword to the sky, swung his right arm, and swung the sword forward.
"Charge!"
Dozens of square formations and tens of thousands of troops, hearing the drums of attack, were all in high spirits and rushed towards the enemy excitedly.
There is a battle going on in the front, and the rear cannot stop.
The archery battalion continuously transported bows and arrows forward, and the team throwing stones from the catapults worked in groups of two, moving back and forth continuously.
In the wounded camp, wounded soldiers from the battlefield were constantly stuffed into the tents.
Chen Shiyi and Mo Xunyan followed Madam Lan and helped in the wounded soldiers' camp.
Get some hot water, wipe the wound, stop the bleeding, hold down the injured, carry the patient on a stretcher, comfort him…
It was the first time that Chen Shiyi saw war, and it was extremely brutal.
As soon as I entered the tent, I heard wailing everywhere. Some soldiers had their hands chopped off, some had their legs broken, and some were hit by catapults, with half of their head gone. Only one eye was left, which was spinning around. They didn't cry out in pain, which must have been a last-ditch effort before death. How could they survive with such injuries?
Most of them were stabbed with knives or guns, some had arrows stuck in their chests, and some had their intestines falling out, which were then picked up and stuffed back in.
Chen Shiyi picked up a severed hand, not knowing whose it belonged to. He stood in the chaos in the tent, panicking.
A military doctor replied without even looking up.
"Throw it away. Who has time to care about these things?"
After saying this, he pushed aside Chen Shiyi who was blocking the way and went to bandage another injured soldier.
The moment Chen Shiyi dropped his hand, tears couldn't stop flowing.
Later, she no longer had time to care about these things. She learned some simple bandaging and became skilled in doing various tasks.
The nimble Chen Shiyi is back again.
She could take care of several medicine jars at the same time, force medicine into the soldiers who were waiting to die and refused to take it, and drink a sip of tea while her hands were bleeding and then continue to take care of the wounded.
In the past, I could still breathe a sigh of relief when I was at Lu Er’s mother’s house.
But here, we dare not stop, as every living being is rushing for time. If we slow down for a while, we may not be able to catch our breath.
After an unknown number of days, Chen Shiyi saw Lan Qinghe again in the wounded soldiers’ camp.
As the commander-in-chief, he came to visit the wounded.
He found Mrs. Lan, raised the hand holding the sword, gently stroked her face, tucked her hair behind her ears, his eyes were gentle as water, and full of affection.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Mrs. Lan smiled softly, with dimples showing.
"You and I, husband and wife, should stay together and watch over each other."
Chen Shiyi was very envious. At this moment, she missed Pei Luoshu especially. She and him should be able to be like this in the future.
Adore, watch...
