Chapter 654 A Big Victory
Compared to the pursuit troops that quickly caught up, the subsequent rescue troops quickly caught up and rescued Qiansui, whose body was charred.
"Chitose!"
Suppressing his fatigue, as soon as he saw Qiansui being sent back, Zhou Xu quickly ran down the wall and went to confirm the situation.
Hearing the sound, Qiansui, who had regained consciousness, drooped his ears and looked at Zhou Xu pitifully. In those dark golden eyes, where was the dignity and ferocity from before? There was only the grievance of a child who had been bullied.
“Ah~”
When Zhou Xu saw this, his heart softened.
After all, he raised her since she was a child, how could he not have some feelings for her?
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu wanted to touch Qiansui's head as usual.
But after that bolt of lightning, the hair on Qiansui's body that was originally like a cloak had been turned into ashes, and the skin on the surface was charred black, causing Zhou Xu's hand to freeze there.
[If the surface of this flesh is full of wounds caused by the lightning, wouldn’t Qiansui die of pain if I touch it? ]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Qiansui seemed to have noticed his hesitation, and he actually propped himself up and rubbed his head against his palm.
As a result, Zhou Xu was stunned by the feel of it, as it was not as dry as he had expected.
According to Zhou Xu's expectation, after being struck by lightning, the skin and flesh would probably become like charcoal, but the feeling of Qiansui's skin now is no different from normal skin and flesh.
Zhou Xu noticed this and quickly looked down at his palm. It was now completely dark, just like touching a handful of coal.
The burnt color of the head that he touched was obviously much lighter.
"Someone, quickly get a basin of hot water, bring some rags and brushes, and clean Qiansui's body."
After receiving the order, the people below acted quickly and hot water, rags and brushes were quickly prepared.
In the past, Qiansui always licked his own fur to clean himself and had never encountered such a situation, so he was really not used to it all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu was there to comfort him, and Qiansui himself was very intelligent and knew that the people around him would not hurt him, so he did not resist.
After scrubbing, Qiansui's skin soon returned to its normal color, which made Zhou Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Qiansui's injury is not as serious as he initially expected.
But then a new doubt arose.
[Is it because Qiansui’s physique is strong enough to withstand it, or is it that the opponent’s lightning attack is actually limited in strength and not as scary as it looks? ]
This issue is quite important to Zhou Xu.
After all, no one knows who will be struck by the lightning next, but judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for him to find a breakthrough in this matter based on limited information.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Qiansui let out an obvious cry of pain, and at the same time, his body instinctively resisted, knocking the surrounding staff to the ground on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu hurried over to calm Qiansui down. At the same time, he looked closely and saw that there was a large piece of flesh that looked like charcoal near Qiansui's right shoulder on his front leg.
Needless to say, this is probably the part where the lightning hit directly.
Before, when Qiansui's entire body was chopped and charred, this wound was not obvious. But as the skin and flesh of other parts were wiped clean, this wound gradually became conspicuous.
Now it seems that his previous judgment was undoubtedly wrong.
Looking at the charred wound, Zhou Xu's eyes were filled with pain, and it also made him more wary of the lightning attack.
Putting aside other things, Qiansui is a supernatural creature, so his physical fitness is definitely better than theirs. Even Qiansui was injured like this. If it were other soldiers, they would most likely be dead.
[The lightning attack is obviously a mantra method. The opponent only launched one attack at that time. Does this mean that this mantra consumes a lot of energy and the opponent cannot use it twice in a short period of time? ]
The situation was chaotic after all, not to mention that before that, he was still controlling Da Gu and Er Gu to destroy the enemy's siege tower. When he paid attention to that side, that incident happened immediately. There was a flash of lightning, and Qiansui was knocked to the ground.
Everything happened so quickly that the information Zhou Xu was able to obtain was very limited.
He is now trying hard to recall all the details of that time in his mind.
At that time, he was too far away from the wall of Huangsha City, and he couldn't see clearly even with the "Eye of Insight". However, after careful thinking, he was still able to extract some useful information.
[The attack range of the mantra should not be far, and the opponent should have been able to get close to it before launching the attack.]
While his thoughts were racing, the Great Zhou troops that were responsible for chasing the enemy out of the city had ended the battle and retreated back into the city. Although each of them was exhausted and out of breath, their mental states were extremely excited.
Putting aside the fact that Qiansui was injured, they used the existence of the skeleton beast and Qiansui, an extraordinary creature, to directly break the opponent's siege tactics, and caused the morale of the opponent's soldiers to collapse and lose their will to fight.
In the subsequent pursuit, the enemy troops who had no will to fight faced them and only wanted to escape, and they had no power to resist at all.
Although the specific statistics have not yet come out, there is no doubt that they have won a great victory! How can the soldiers of Da Zhou not be excited? ! Especially those soldiers led by Bai Tu, although the enemy country is still there, this great victory of killing the enemy army still makes them very happy! After the war, I read the report submitted by Shi Lei.
Their casualties in this battle were basically negligible. Under this premise, according to the latest statistics, it was confirmed that 1,179 enemies were killed and 385 prisoners were captured alive.
Many of the enemy soldiers who died at the hands of Qiansui and Dagu Ergu were killed without a complete body, so it was impossible to count them. However, it was confirmed that the specific number was definitely higher than this, which further confirmed this great victory! Although Zhou Xu was upset about Qiansui's injury, his troops won such a victory, so there was no reason for Zhou Xu not to reward all the soldiers.
"Pass on my order. Have the kitchen staff prepare wine and meat to reward the entire army. But be careful to arrange the shifts on the wall so that there are no mistakes."
The enemy's siege troops were demoralized and retreated in a panic. They would definitely not be able to attack the city again in the short term. After arranging the work shifts, Zhou Xu didn't mind letting the soldiers have a drink to celebrate.
Anyway, the alcohol content of fruit wine in this era is not high. If you want to get drunk, you have to drink one jar after another.
But these fruit wines are not cheap nowadays, who can afford to drink like this? "Besides that, count the military achievements of the soldiers. Shi Lei, first follow the system and draft the rewards to be distributed as soon as possible, and send them to me for review."
