Chapter 102: Shouchun, I'm here again
The sky is covered with black crows, and the ground is littered with all kinds of carnivorous critters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoFor them, these days are a rare gluttonous feast. There are things to eat within a radius of tens of miles, and there are not many opportunities for them to have such a meal. Even the wild wolves, which have always been protective of their food, are too lazy to drive away small creatures such as foxes. I'm afraid that on the ground, I hope to be able to digest the human flesh in my stomach faster, and then eat as much as possible. It's almost winter, and you can't do it without saving some fat.
In front of Cloud Key was a tattered corpse, with only half of its head left. The upper palate is attached to the head, and the lower jaw is gone. The body was in a mess, and most of the internal organs were lost. The sternum turned outward, and the bones of Bai Sensen emerged from the dark red muscles, much like pork ribs. One leg is missing half a calf, and the other leg is complete, but it becomes a disconnected triad. The left arm was missing, the right arm was attached to the other half of the body, and a bronze sword was chopped in his hand.
Next to this corpse was a charred corpse. The body is covered with burning arrows, and even traces of arrows can be found in the flesh.
"Are you sure this is Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang?" Yun Key asked Chu Dayong and Zhang Han very suspiciously. The corpses brought back by these two goods, Yun Jian estimated that even Xiang Liang's mother might not be able to recognize his old man and son.
"Lord, that's right, this is Xiang Liang. He was wearing rhinoceros armor, and we couldn't shoot him even if they surrounded him. In the end, the problem was solved with oil bombs, and his subordinates watched him burn to death. It's Xiang Liang, that's right! Chu Dayong swore that if he was forced to ask again, this guy would definitely vouch for his head.
It's better not to store Dayong's head, it's not easy to find such a thing in a pile of corpses hugging each other, and it needs to be praised!
"I've asked the captive, this is Xiang Yan. No way, when the takin cavalry charged. He stood in front of the army, and it was inevitable that he would be trampled by takin. This is because the surface of the charge is too large, and the storm formation is not dense. If it's denser, you can have a human skin to see. Zhang Han said helplessly.
No one could have imagined that when the takin cavalry charged. The one who stood in the way was actually the leader of the Chu military, and it was indeed rare for this kind of idiotic behavior to fight against takin, which happened to cadres of this level.
"Bury it! Find a better coffin and erect a monument for them. Loyal and righteous people must have a good end. "Yun Key is unwilling to worry about the identity of the corpse anymore. Since these two goods also swear, Yun Key can only pinch his nose and admit it. In fact, Yun Key didn't see the facial features clearly at all. A long gray hair covers the whole face, and what I know is the human head, and I don't know it, and I think it's a hairball.
A big victory, a real victory. More than 100,000 Qin troops defeated more than 400,000 of the most elite Chu troops. How much exactly you won, the cloud key has no idea in her heart. Anyway, within a radius of 100 miles, corpses can be seen everywhere. According to the scouts, rats in some places eat people and their eyes are red. Those who are bold even dare to attack people in groups.
Yun Key was glad that he left the battlefield in time with the army. Presumably, the stench of corpses there should have spread by this time. If you look at the crows that look like black clouds in the distance, you can see that the number of corpses is very large. There are so many crows that they can't eat enough!
Despite the victory, the Qin army's casualties were also very heavy. Mainly hoplites, and those Qin army foot soldiers that Wang Jian allocated to Yun Key. The takin cavalry, which Pingliang relied on to become famous, and the archers basically suffered no losses. The oil was depleted, and there were still some bombs left. However, the number has also reached a dangerous situation, and it can be said that it is a pyrrhic victory.
In addition to these casualties, of course. The most significant loss of Great Qin was that the king of the Great Qin Empire was scared and sick. In the past few days, the high fever has not subsided, and the rice has not entered, and the lips have been white. Even if the physical cooling of the liquor is constant, there is no way to stop the burning. The captain who came out with Yun Key has been urging him eight times. I hope that he can take the king back to Handan to recuperate. After all, the conditions in Handan are much better than in the wild.
"Alright! If you insist on going back, I won't stop you, but you will take your wounded soldiers with you. If they can be treated well in Handan, these people will be able to survive a lot. If it is not properly treated, sixty percent of people will die. You don't want my Great Qin to lose so many warriors at once! ā
It's hell in the wounded barracks, there's no way! This is the only condition in the wild, and the amount of white medicine is limited. It can only be given to the hoplites, in fact, the military doctor from Pingliang has tried his best. Unfortunately, there are too many wounded soldiers, and they can't keep up with the existing manpower.
"Uh......! Yes! The lieutenant could only grit his teeth and agree to Yun Key's conditions, he wanted to return to Handan as soon as possible. But it's really inconvenient to carry so many wounded soldiers, but you can't leave these wounded soldiers behind. After all, these people were all Great Qin soldiers, and they groaned in pain when they looked at the brothers who were stirring horses and spoons in a pot in the past. It's unreasonable!
A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and 10,000 soldiers were sent to escort the wounded soldiers back to Handan. Yun Jian waved his army straight to Shouchun, which was the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire Chu State. It can be said to be the heart of the Chu State, and the cloud key is to be like a dagger. Straight into the heart of the Chu people, now Changping Jun led the army to confront Wang Jian in Daliang. Shouchun is as weak as a lamb, and if he doesn't pounce on it and take a bite at this time, it is simply not Yun Key's character.
Moreover, the state of Chu has been in Shouchun for a long time. As the capital of the Chu State, a large amount of wealth was gathered there. In the eyes of Cloud Key, this is simply a fat sheep. If you don't grab a handful, how can you be worthy of the soldiers who are fighting to the death. How can you be worthy of your own shriveled wallet?
Ever since he had a bad relationship with Daqin, Ping Liang has been eating his old book. These old people are about to run out, if there is no help from the Western Regions. Maybe Pingliang has already started a financial crisis, and this situation will not end until Yun Key takes control of Xianyang. The army marches in, and the grain and grass are consumed, and there must be a source for these.
After sending Hu Hai away, Yun Key immediately waved his army to Shouchun City. When the Yun family cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Shouchun, Shouchun City immediately exploded. In the past two days, I vaguely heard that there seemed to be a defeated battle ahead, but the court of Chu State tightly sealed the news. Now that the fierce Pingliang cavalry has appeared in the suburbs, it is impossible to hide it no matter what.
Looking at Shouchun City, which stands quietly there in the distance, like a virgin. Yun Key muttered to himself: "Shouchun, my Yun Key is here again." ā
