Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1708: The Joy of Victory [Belated May Day Wishes]
Previously on Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside...
Boom boom boom!
The war drums thundered, and the soldiers, like a black cloud, pressed towards the Rong soldiers.
Bang bang bang!
While the Rong soldiers were still in a stupor, huge stones came flying from the distant sides.
These stones were not doused with pine oil but were tied with bags of rotworms. When they crashed down, they not only smashed the Rong soldiers into meat paste but also frightened them into a panicked retreat.
"Ah, rotworms, it’s the rotworms again, everyone run!"
For the past two months, the Rong soldiers had already been tormented by the rotworms. Their camp had just been attacked by them, and now seeing the rotworms again, even the strongest Rong soldiers were frightened into running in panic.
Even more terrifying was that those huge stones had red Rong Language written on them: The Witch God does not bless, Da Rong will surely lose this battle; after defeat comes chaos, engulfed in disaster!
The other illiterate Rong soldiers only glanced at this red Rong Language, but the literate witch doctors, scout soldiers, Silver Tent Company Commander, and Golden Tent Company Commander were greatly shocked.
Especially some of the junior witch doctors.
They were very devout to the Witch God, chosen for their piety to learn the art of witch doctors. Having witnessed the tragedy in the Insect Disease Camp over the past two months, seeing these red Rong inscriptions, they truly believed that the Witch God was angry with this battle, punishing Da Rong, and screamed in terror: "The Witch God does not bless, Da Rong is going to lose!"
They even shouted out the Rong Language written on the stones.
There were many stones, and each was inscribed with such disturbing words in glaring red. Many literate Rong people saw it, and some couldn’t help but shout it out, while others managed to hold back but were still scared, fleeing heedlessly.
"The Witch God does not bless, punishes Da Rong, we can’t fight this battle, everyone run!"
Rong soldiers heard this, and frightened by the rotworms, they immediately fled, ditching their helmets and armor.
Puff, Tie He, seeing this, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He forcibly endured the severe pain in his chest and shouted: "Stop, turn back and fight, anyone who dares to flee will be killed!"
Unno immediately led the cavalry to intercept the fleeing Rong soldiers. With the whoosh of an arrow shower, they killed a batch of Rong soldiers and then shouted: "Heavenly Khan Order, turn back and fight, anyone who dares to flee, kill without mercy!"
"They are the Bastard Chu, the people hated by the Witch God. As long as we kill the Bastard Chu’s army and people, we will receive the Witch God’s blessing!"
"Don’t pay attention to the Rong text on those stones, it’s a trick by the Bastard Chu soldiers, can’t you see? The Witch God agrees with us flattening the Bastard Chu!" Unno was extremely angry, continuously shouting.
But at this moment, how could the Rong soldiers listen?
The Rong soldiers shouted even louder: "Since the Witch God protects us, why didn’t he send Divine Medicine to treat the rotworms and save our warriors?!"
Tens of thousands of warriors were killed by the rotworms; the Insect Disease Camp was burned every so often, burning how many warriors to death.
The Witch God has sent down such a great disaster. Why haven’t the generals withdrawn the army back to Da Rong?
"The elders said that if we Rochers run too far, the Witch God’s protection won’t reach us. Now look, since we came to the Bastard Chu, the Witch God’s protection can’t reach us!"
"The Bastard Chu is a filthy place without the Witch God’s protection, we must leave this cursed place!"
The Rong soldiers went mad, only wanting to escape the Bastard Chu and return to their sacred Da Rong. As long as they returned to Da Rong, the Witch God would protect them, saving them from the harm of the rotworms.
"My warrior brothers, run away!" someone shouted, and the Rong soldiers moved again, charging directly at Unno and his men.
Unno was terrified and quickly led the cavalry to steer away, barely avoiding being scattered by the maddened Rong soldiers.
"Run, run fast, the rotworms are coming!"
"Return to Da Rong, only then will the Witch God protect us!"
The Rong soldiers shouted as they madly fled back the way they came.
Unno watched the fleeing figures of the Rong soldiers, feeling desolation in his heart. With fierce eyes turned towards where the stones had been hurled from, he shouted: "Warriors, follow me, kill those shameless weak Bastard Chu soldiers!"
"Kill the weak Bastard Chu soldiers!" Unno’s Rong soldiers were more loyal, following Unno and charging towards the place where the catapults were.
Bang bang bang!
Stones were still crashing down. Unno and his men braved death to advance, but when they reached where the catapults were, they couldn’t find a single figure.
They even fell into a trap.
Placed underground with the catapults were barrels, and countless rotworms crawled out, moving towards the warhorses.
Some warhorses had rotworms burrow inside, letting out uncomfortable whinnies.
A Rong cavalryman saw, his pupils enlarged in fear, and fell from his horse.
But as soon as he landed, he caught a handful of rotworms, screaming in horror: "Ah!"
His scream made Unno notice the rotworms on the ground, coming to a realization: "We’ve been tricked, retreat!"
Those damned Bastard Chu soldiers dared to trick him like that, if he caught them, he’d surely tear them to pieces!
"Retreat, go back to protect the Heavenly Khan!" Unno found a reason to save face.
However, as they turned to leave, they met another volley of arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The arrows flew with force, piercing the battle armor of Rong soldiers, directly through their throats.
Bang bang bang sounds arose, and the foremost Rong cavalry soldiers fell.
Unno was greatly shocked, and just as he was about to order the soldiers to counterattack, another wave of arrow rain struck, shooting down another batch of Rong cavalrymen.
"They’ve adjusted the bowstrings, increased the force of the arrows, immediately use armor plates to protect the neck, break the enemy with the Wolf Mouth Formation!" Unno ordered, and his cavalry quickly formed the Wolf Mouth Formation.
This military formation is simple, but it can be very deadly, and under concentrated force, it easily breaks through encirclements.
Qin San Lang cherished his soldiers and had no intention of capturing another head of a Rong army general, so he led his troops to avoid the sharp edge of the Wolf Mouth Formation, flanked them, intercepted a Golden Tent Troop Commander under Unno, and directly surrounded him and killed him with his troops!
"Mushi!" Unno saw his nephew being hacked to death by the weak Bastard Chu soldiers, his eyes red with rage. If not for the cavalry stopping him, he almost turned around to kill back and chop those weak Bastard Chu soldiers into pieces.
"General, quick, go back to protect the Heavenly Khan. Only if we survive can we return to avenge in the future!"
Let’s go, if we don’t leave now, it will be too late.
Hearing this, Unno could only ruthlessly spur his horse away.
Qin San Lang did not chase but instead searched Mushi’s clothes, finding two medicine bags on him.
These medicine bags should be what Xiao Yu wanted — the Divine Medicine made by Da Rong’s Great Wizard.
Qin San Lang’s face broke into a smile, raising the two medicine bags and telling his soldiers: "Go and search the ranks of the Rong soldiers, do they have these medicine bags on them?"
Xiao Yu said that these medicine bags could be used to create Divine Medicine, and having them would provide more safety in the future.
Unfortunately, after searching over a dozen corpses of ranked Rong soldiers, from Company Commanders to Chief Commanders and Section Leaders, they only found two packets of Divine Medicine on two Silver Tent Company Commanders.
"These Rong bandits are really something, only the officials have insect medicine, not one for the regular soldiers." Hong Dao felt fortunate they could follow Lord Company Commander, as they had no shortage of Insect Attractant, though they were a bit annoyed being required to use it every day.
"The Rong People’s Heavenly Khan is going to run, quickly mount up and join the main army to kill the enemy. Keep track of how many Rong bandits you kill in this battle, as you’ll be credited after it!" Qin San Lang mounted his horse and galloped towards the main army.
Hong Dao and the others, yelling loudly, rode after him with high spirits. Each of them had a face full of imminent victory joy, far removed from their skinny and haggard previous state.
