And this is just the beginning.
The Chaoli people launched round after round of fierce attacks, each time leaving behind dozens of corpses before retreating, only to come back again half an hour or an hour later.
After repelling the enemy once again, Si Yanxi looked at the dim sky for a moment before turning back. Chen Qing was leading his men to throw the people of the Chaoli tribe together, while his own brothers were carefully carried aside. Others were digging a pit on the side of the road. This would be the temporary resting place for the deceased people of the Qishusi.
The Qishu Division suffered serious casualties this time, from 37 people to only 16, with a total of 21 people losing their lives. It would take the Qishu Division nearly ten years to train such a group of people.
The sound of horse hooves was heard again, and everyone stood up and became alert. No matter how tired or injured they were, they had to bear it at this moment.
Gu Yanxi moved his ears and let out a long breath. Reinforcements arrived earlier than expected.
Some people immediately sat back down and were unable to stand up for a while.
Without waiting for the horses to stop, the leader jumped off the horse. It was Wang Rong.
Wang Rong bowed and said, "Greetings, leader."
Gu Yanxi called out, "How many people are here? Did you see Yuan Shifang on the road?"
"Yes, I have arranged for someone to escort Yuan Shifang to the capital. There are 200 people coming this time."
Two hundred people, I'm afraid that's the limit of the people that the Seven Stars Division can mobilize in the capital. Gu Yanxi looked coldly in the direction of Yuzhou, "You've come just in time, take your men around there and ambush, the Chaoli people should rush again, attack from both sides, and don't let any of them go!"
"Yes." Wang Rong felt a lump in his throat as he looked at his lifeless brother over there. He bit his cheek, turned his gaze back, lowered his head and walked away to make arrangements. If someone let go from him, he would twist off his own head and replace it!
Just as Gu Yanxi expected, not long after, the Hou Chaoli people launched another charge. Although they suffered even greater losses, their total number was several times more than that of the Qisusi. Even now, there were still more than fifty people. After the previous few times, they had already figured out the details of the Qisusi. There were only less than twenty people left on the other side. How could they be willing to miss this opportunity
They had a clear target. Five of them rushed straight towards Gu Yanxi, while the others also attacked the injured first. They were determined to win!
However, God was not on their side this time. As soon as they arrived, Wang Rong and his men surrounded them tightly. The long sword was swept away in an instant, and the people were also swept away and spun around.
Of the fifty-four people, none escaped, and fifty died on the spot. Gu Yanxi only left four alive and cut off their jaws. The Chaoli people were known for their bravery and brutality, and he planned to hand these people over to Shaoyao, who had never let him down in this regard.
"Chen Qing, arrange for someone to find everyone along the way and bring them back. Then take my official seal to the local government and ask them to send someone to dispose of the bodies of the Chaoli people."
"yes."
"Wang Rong, take fifty people to Yuzhou and thoroughly investigate Yuzhou. Follow the clue of Yuan Shifang and investigate further. I suspect that there is more than one Chaoli tribe member hiding his identity in Yuzhou."
"yes."
"Chief." The clothes on the shoulder of the man who ran over were torn, revealing a wound with red flesh inside. He seemed to have no sense of pain and handed over a piece of silk cloth with both hands, "I found it on a Chaoli tribe member."
Gu Yanxi took it and opened it. Not surprisingly, it was a map. It was very detailed, so detailed that there were at least three roads from Yuzhou to the capital.
He had specifically recognized Yuan Shifang's handwriting before, and this was not his. He held the silk cloth to his nose and smelled it, then handed it to Wang Rong, "Find this man and have him cut into pieces."
"I will definitely treat him well." Wang Rong gnashed his teeth in hatred. If this man was also a member of the Chaoli tribe, it would be fine. But if he was from the Daqing Dynasty, he would make him regret living in this world!
"Everyone, be careful. These may not be the only enemies hiding here, and they may not stop attacking again."
"yes."
At this time, the sky was already showing signs of rosy clouds, and half of the sky was dyed red. They were like a colorful curtain, waiting to set off the sun that illuminated the whole world.
If Azhi were here, she would probably smile, a smile from her heart to her eyes, and then from her eyes to her entire face. As long as he saw her smile, no matter how big the problem was, he would think it was nothing.
It’s almost time, we’ll be able to meet soon.
Hua Zhi slept till the next day. When she woke up from a deep sleep, her first reaction was pain, which was much more painful than the time on the farm.
"Miss, you're awake?" Bao Xia almost cried with joy, "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat!"
After saying these words, Baoxia jumped up and ran away. Shaoyao continued to apply medicine on the wound. She rolled her eyes and continued to work. Why was she so excited? She was holding it in!
Her body was aching, she was thirsty, and hungry, but all these combined couldn't suppress the intense feeling of fatigue. For a moment, Hua Zhi even felt as if the part below the neck was not her own body. It would be great if the pain didn't occur at the same time.
"What time is it?"
"It was the next day. The boat had already paid the deposit and would not run away, so I asked them to postpone it for a day. They did not dare to object. Everyone in Zhenyang knows that we are vicious monsters."
"..." What on earth is there to be proud of? Hua Zhi wanted to close her eyes again weakly.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep. Huahua, hold on for a while and eat something before you go to sleep."
"No." Hua Zhi had no choice but to open her eyes again, "How are everyone's injuries?"
"Don't worry, you are the one with the most serious condition. I will prepare a prescription for you later. You can take a medicinal bath every day when you go back. It will give you some strength. Hua Hua, your endurance is too poor."
"..." She didn't need endurance, thank you. Hua Zhi was quite pleased with herself in her heart, with a smile on her face. "I've been practicing boxing for half a year and it's gotten much better. If it was me on the farm, I wouldn't be able to hold on for so long."
"I stole this boxing technique, of course it's good." As he was speaking, Bao Xia came in with a wooden tray. Before he could smell the aroma of the food, he could smell the smell of medicine.
"You have to eat medicinal food for a while. I've already bought the herbs and had them sent to the ship. Huahua, you are a woman. You can't lose blood like this all the time. It's too damaging to your body. If you don't replenish it, you'll suffer in the future."
"Yes, yes. I'll listen to you."
Hearing that she deserved such good behavior, Shaoyao was immediately happy, "Don't worry, it's delicious. It smells a bit like medicine when you eat it, but it's not."
Hua Zhi smiled and talked to her, which made her even happier, as if the Shaoyao who seemed to want to eat people yesterday had never appeared.
Hua Zhi herself is not a person who is obsessed with things or people. She is too open-minded. No matter how good something is, she will never care about it if it cannot be hers. But this does not prevent her from respecting such people. Just like Shaoyao, she will forget all her relatives, but she will never forget the persistence in her heart. Even if she cannot become a female general, some things have become instinct and her bottom line. She uses this to discipline herself and also demands the same of others. She admires such people.
