Chapter 194 After the War
Thanks to Zhou Xu's early personnel allocation, Huangshan Village already had a hundred people. Now that they were attacked at their doorstep, all the soldiers in the village had to come out in full force!
The people of the primitive tribal alliance here had previously besieged the twenty-one village warriors led by Shi Lei, but they had not been able to end the battle in a short period of time. Now that their reinforcements were rushing down from the rear, how could they dare to continue fighting?
No one knew which tribe started to run away first, but the primitive people on the alliance side quickly fled in all directions, which made Zhang Peng, who was hiding in the dark, look unpleasant.
"Damn, what a bunch of rubbish!"
With a low curse, Zhang Peng did not hesitate and turned around and slipped away.
The enemy fled in all directions and hid in the mountains and forests, which made it inconvenient for them to pursue them. At the same time, because of the previous battle, the village warriors led by Shi Lei were all covered in wounds and their condition had long reached the limit. They were simply unable to participate in the pursuit.
The village soldiers who came to support did not chase too far. Once they left their deserted mountain village, they stopped chasing further.
After the battle, Shi Lei collapsed there due to exhaustion. As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Huangshan Village, although Wang Chuan's five-dimensional attributes were all two-star, he had good talent and managed to arrange the hundreds of people in the village in an orderly manner, so Shi Lei did not need to worry too much.
"hiss--"
With a gasp, Shi Lei took off his fur coat with great effort, only to find that underneath the coat he was actually wearing a set of rattan armor.
Although the quantity of this first batch of rattan armor was limited, Shi Lei was an important general under Zhou Xu, so he still arranged a set for him just in case.
He looked down at the arm guard on his left hand and saw an obvious cut mark on it!
In this primitive age, having a set of vine armor on your body can increase your survivability by at least 30%.
However, after putting on the fur coat, he looked much stronger and the rattan armor could not be buttoned up, so Shi Lei chose to wear it inside the coat when putting it on.
After removing the rattan armor and clothes, the pharmacist beside him cleaned his wound briefly, then applied the herbs mashed into a paste directly on his knife wound, causing him to twitch in pain.
Taking into account the special circumstances of their Huangshan Village, their leader not only arranged more manpower, but also prepared herbs for them all year round for times like this.
Although they suffered a lot of injuries in this wave, as of now, there is still enough medicine.
However, at this moment, looking at his injuries, Shi Lei's expression was not optimistic.
Because the knife wounds on his body meant that their weapons fell into the hands of the enemy, which was not a good thing.
The swords forged by the forging department are processed by a dual process of casting and forging. Although casting is very fast, in order to make the swords stronger and more durable, the subsequent hammering and forging stage is still very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
So if you want to know how efficient the casting is, actually it is not that fast.
The first batch of swords were first supplied to the elite troops in the grassland village, and the second batch was sent to them. However, the number was relatively limited. Including himself, there were only twenty-one swords in total.
For now, every loss means one less loss, and at the same time it also helps the opponent improve their combat power.
But to some extent, there is nothing that can be done about it.
When two sides are fighting, you either don't use it at all. Once you use it, who can ensure that your weapon will not be taken away by the enemy?
In any case, they at least resolved this wave of threat from the enemy.
Moreover, the opponent was also seriously injured, so he probably wouldn't dare to act rashly in the short term.
After adjusting his thoughts, Shi Lei let out a long breath. While the medicine was being applied, he lay down on a chair, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.
The previous battle with the Red Stone leader not only drained his energy, but also drained his mind, making him want to just lie down.
He was so tired that he even fell asleep at one point, until Wang Chuan came to report the situation to him.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
"Four of our soldiers were killed in the battle, and three were seriously injured. Their condition is critical and it's hard to say whether they will live or die. The remaining thirteen are in stable condition and there won't be any major problems."
The soldiers Wang Chuan was talking about at this time were the twenty people who fought against the enemy attack with him at that time.
Since Huangshan Village is too far away from other villages, Zhou Xu handed the recruitment and training of the soldiers here to Shi Lei, allowing him to make adjustments based on the situation in Huangshan Village, which can be regarded as giving him enough power.
Shi Lei recruited soldiers in three batches. The first batch recruited ten people, the second and third batch recruited five people each, for a total of twenty people.
Afterwards, based on the situation in Huangshan Village, arrangements were made for the soldiers' training. The soldiers only trained for half a day and worked for the remaining half a day.
Maintaining this state, the soldiers were trained.
Unexpectedly, nearly half of the casualties were caused by just one battle!
At that moment, Shi Lei, who was already exhausted, collapsed on the chair as if his spine had been pulled out in an instant.
Wang Chuan glanced at him. Over the past period of time, as Shi Lei's right-hand man in Huangshan Village, the two of them had cooperated happily and established a certain friendship.
Seeing Shi Lei like this, Wang Chuan spoke a reassuring word.
"Don't think too much. In the past, at this time of year, it was considered good if half of the people in each tribe could survive."
Shi Lei looked a little dazed when he heard this.
Yes, as the former leader of the tribe, how could he not know this situation? But the life at hand made him forget this matter, thinking that they could all survive this cold winter!
Wang Chuan spread his hands as he looked at Shi Lei, who had regained some spirit after taking a deep breath.
"Then I will continue my report?"
"Go on."
"There weren't many casualties among the village soldiers. Eleven of them were injured, but they weren't serious. We also captured seven prisoners. Who are they?"
"Kill him."
"good."
At this critical juncture, there is no reason to keep the captured prisoners alive.
"That's roughly the situation of casualties and prisoners. Then there's the issue of weapons. Six swords are missing."
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when this number appeared, Shi Lei's heart still sank uncontrollably.
But there was no point in saying anything now, he could only accept the reality and do the next thing.
"Has the messenger been sent out?"
"He has been sent on horseback."
"Thanks a lot."
Shi Lei nodded after getting this answer. Obviously, Wang Chuan's presence also saved him a lot of effort. He was his right-hand man in the management of the village's internal affairs.
