Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1707: Pressing the Attack

Tie He looked at the chaotic camp and shouted, "No chaos, no one is allowed to panic, it’s just rotworms. The Great Wizard will soon bring the Insect-killing Divine Medicine!"

However, no one listened; hundreds of thousands of Rong soldiers were fleeing to avoid the rotworms.

They all knew that from April to June, tens of thousands of warriors had died because of the rotworms. If the Great Wizard truly had the Insect-killing Divine Medicine, it would have been delivered long ago.

Boom boom boom!

Rong soldiers, panicked and without direction, ran into areas filled with poison powder and were poisoned to death.

Tie He watched this scene, knowing it couldn’t go on, and shouted, "Blow the ox horn, lead the warriors away from this camp!"

Getting beaten and fleeing is better than being poisoned to death here.

"Yes!" Unno proceeded immediately.

Moo, moo, moo; moo, moo, moo!

The sound of the ox horn kept blowing, the sound increasingly distant, moving out of the camp.

The Rong soldiers understood and shouted, "Everyone, quickly run out of the camp!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Rong soldiers ran towards the camp’s exit, the ground trembling under their feet.

Tuogude, being smart, had already led the Witch Army, his own tribe’s warriors, and the warriors of the Leimuqin Tribe out of the camp. Seeing Tie He’s tribe’s warriors also emerge, his face turned somewhat displeased.

The reason he hadn’t promptly informed the entire camp about this method was to seize the opportunity to harm Tie He’s tribe’s warriors, even to harm Tie He himself.

It was he who encouraged the Great Wizard to urge Tie He in the war against Chu, and he who opposed the majority to relocate the Rong people to Great Chu Land. But he lost in Beicang Prefecture, and his brother-in-law failed in Xing’an Prefecture. If Tie He didn’t die, upon returning to Da Rong, he would blame all of it on Tuogude and might seize his tribe.

However, Tie He was fortunate to think of this method and abandon the camp to escape.

This sudden raid was too unexpected, and many Rong soldiers couldn’t escape in time, falling within the camp.

Boom boom boom!

Rong soldiers, either riding horses or sprinting, ran out of the camp, yet even outside, many Rong soldiers fell due to poisoning.

"Ah, rotworms, save me, the rotworms are in my throat... ugh!" Some Rong soldiers had rotworms burrow into their bodies, desperately clawing at their throats to extract the rotworms but found them moving towards their stomachs.

Feeling the rotworms crawl from his throat to his stomach, the soldier broke down, lost his mind, and shockingly stabbed his own belly.

With a ripping sound, he cut open his belly, trying to remove the rotworms.

"Kill him!" Unno, horrified, immediately ordered to cut off the soldier’s head.

The soldier died, but his headless corpse lay on the ground, belly open, blood staining the grass, causing the witnesses further anguish.

Thousands of Rong soldiers knelt and cried bitterly, "We shouldn’t have come to bastard Chu to commit injustice; the Witch God is punishing us, doesn’t approve of this great war!"

With a crack, as Alman rushed out, he heard this and in anger personally decapitated a crying soldier, cursing, "Shut up! The bastards of Chu are no more than lambs, meat for us, not humans. Our attack is approved by the Witch God, you heretic speakers must be possessed by evil spirits. Come, kill these evil spirits for me!"

Alman deeply believed in the Witch God, intolerant of soldiers questioning it.

To him, the rotworm disaster they faced was entirely the fault of the Bastard Chu soldiers!

The rotworm was clearly produced by them, originally used against Great Chu. Now their camp suffers from rotworms, and they blame Great Chu soldiers. Is that even reasonable?

Absolutely not.

Da Rong never viewed the Chu people as humans, so mistreating and harming them was naturally justified.

Conversely, if non-descendants of the Witch God from Bastard Chu harmed them, then Bastard Chu deserved to die!

A former dynasty’s emperor once said, those in Rong Territory are like beasts, unable to understand human speech, to converse with them is futile, only fighting works.

It seems, even after hundreds of years, the words still hold true.

"Yes!" After receiving orders, the Alman Tribe’s soldiers swiftly killed those crying and questioning the Witch God.

"Stop! Don’t kill!" Tie He, seeing the situation from afar, rushed over but was too late.

Tie He’s eyes were red with rage, pointing at Alman, "King Alman, you dare massacre my Da Rong Warriors!"

You damn fool!

At a time like this, you should soothe the troops, but instead, you slaughtered them, as if causing a further breakdown of morale. Do you want the entire Rong army to mutiny against us?!

Initially, Tie He found Alman naive and easy to deceive, having already signaled through his confidant generals for him to propose retreating, but now Tie He was so enraged he nearly spat blood.

Alman felt he was justified, "Heavenly Khan, they were disrespecting the Witch God during the raid on the camp, clearly intending to disrupt our morale. Naturally, I should slay them to appease the Witch God and stabilize morale!"

You damn, you’ve got a point.

Soon, Shu Tang arrived and whispered to Tie He, "Heavenly Khan, I just inspected, casualties are heavy, perhaps it’s time to launch a strong attack on Long’an Prefecture."

Shu Tang wanted Da Rong to retreat, but not disgracefully; they should devastate Long’an Prefecture first.

Inside Long’an Prefecture, food shortages left the military and civilians starving. If they struck fiercely, even if they couldn’t breach the city, a small victory before retreat would mitigate their embarrassment.

Upon hearing the severe casualties, Tie He felt a taste of blood rising in his throat, nearly spewing it... he regretted not retreating days before, otherwise, their camp wouldn’t have faced this raid, leaving him too afraid to retreat now.

Tie He was silent for a while, a cold murderous aura in his eyes, "Order the whole army, the Bastard Chu soldiers and civilians are despicable, using rotworms and poison to harm our Da Rong Warriors. The Witch God is furious, and all warriors must immediately attack Long’an Prefecture to avenge the fallen warriors!"

The Witch God’s fury?

Many Rong soldiers laughed at hearing this, at a time like this, still invoking the Witch God; you might as well order the Great Wizard killed straightforwardly.

Yet these soldiers didn’t dare speak their minds; they knew the Witch God’s importance to Da Rong. If they did, they’d be seen as outsiders.

"Assemble immediately, attack Long’an Prefecture, avenge the fallen warriors!" Tuogude echoed Tie He’s order; he did it entirely for the Great Wizard.

After the raid, more and more Rong soldiers began questioning the Witch God, resenting the Great Wizard for breeding rotworms without making the antidote... the Great Wizard must survive, Tuogude had to save him.

Alman also shouted, "Charge into Long’an Prefecture, slaughter the Bastard Chu citizens; avenge the warriors!"

But before their army turned, a drum of war sounded, accompanied by earth-shaking stomps, as countless troops and horses charged towards them.

Tie He, Tuogude, and others immediately looked towards the sound, only to see countless Great Chu Military Flags fluttering, rapidly storming in their direction.
