Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 133 Heavy losses
This disastrous defeat dealt a huge blow to the Wu army. It's not that they couldn't afford to lose such a small number of troops. The main reason was that the impact on morale was too great.
Originally, the Wu army was on the offensive side. In a siege, the attackers would have to suffer more casualties than the defenders. In theory, five times the number of troops would be needed to have a sufficient advantage. Even if the Wu army chose to attack in winter, it would be difficult to win without three times the number of troops.
Otherwise, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory.
This time the Wu army dispatched two million troops. For Qixia Pass, which only has a mere 100,000 troops, even if it is supported by two auxiliary passes, it will only have 200,000 troops at most. As long as they attack the city, they will definitely be able to capture it.
The timing they chose was quite good, and they fully considered the issue of Jiang Jun's support. According to their intelligence, there were only a few border towns that could provide support to Qixia Pass, and a hundred thousand troops were already overwhelming.
Two million versus three hundred thousand, there would be absolutely no problem, but in fact everything went wrong from the moment the troops were sent out.
In fact, you should have been lying there for more than three days, because a janitor woke you up three days ago. The man said that he was the janitor at the back door of Donglai Academy. He felt that there seemed to be movement here last night, but he
I didn't want to get into trouble, and I wasn't in the academy anyway, so I ignored him.
After all, that person is from Donglai Academy. Even the gatekeeper is a martial arts practitioner in the Qi refining stage. He checked your injuries and said that your meridians were completely destroyed and the external injuries were so serious that you probably wouldn't survive.
Of course, these are all he was talking to himself. Although you woke up, you couldn't move at all. In fact, you couldn't even open your eyes. You just squirmed your mouth and said water.
The gatekeeper is a kind-hearted person. He said that you are too injured now and your internal organs are severely damaged. You will die if you drink water. He is just a gatekeeper. He has no panacea. He only has a Snow Ning Dan, which is considered good for mortals.
The best healing medicine.
The gatekeeper gave you Ningxue Dan to eat, and applied golden sore medicine on your body, telling you that whether you live or die, you can only rely on yourself.
You couldn't open your eyes and couldn't clearly see the man's appearance. From his words, you could tell that he was an old man.
Maybe people talk more as they get older. After that person gave you a simple treatment, even if you were speechless at all, he still kept talking to you.
He is not willing to die, because this is Donglai Academy. I don’t know how many young people want to enter the academy to practice, but the academy has strict assessments and will never accept those who fail to meet the qualifications. This leads to many people going to extremes.
Pretending to be sick, pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be seriously injured, there are all kinds of things, just to sneak into the academy, so the academy has express regulations that you are not allowed to interfere with anything outside the academy, and no one is allowed to bring in people who are not from the academy.
He said that he could tell that you were not pretending, and no one would kill himself just to get into the academy, but he was just a janitor, and he would never dare to break the rules of the academy.
Originally, according to the rules of the academy, he couldn't save you, but he couldn't explain why he wanted to save you. Maybe it was because you were somewhat similar to his brother who died when he was young.
The gatekeeper explained the situation clearly by nagging you. He promised to visit you once a day. After your death, he would bury you in a mass grave and not let you die in the wilderness.
The next day, Nakan personally came to see you. This time he didn't say much, he just sighed and left.
In fact, after lying down for a day, although you are still unable to move, perhaps due to the effect of Ningxue Dan, you feel that your physical condition is much better than yesterday.
The wounds on the body surface were covered with blood scabs due to the application of gold sore medicine, so they were no longer so painful. The only thing was that I was really hungry and my stomach was growling.
Although you can't remember what happened at all, and you don't know who you are or why you are here, but there is a voice in your heart telling you that you can't die yet, there are still very important things to do, and you vaguely feel
It's a person, a little girl, and you should save her.
You want to survive, you want to figure out what happened, but now you can't move. In order to save your energy and reduce consumption, the wisest thing to do is to sleep. Although you feel hungry, you still try your best to fall asleep. Of course
Maybe he fainted.
When you woke up again, you faintly heard the crisp voice of a little girl.
Later you found out that the little girl was Bai Ling. She pestered her senior brother and ran to the back mountain to collect medicine and found you.
Maybe you shouldn't die. Bai Ling has been interested in studying elixirs since she was a child. Although she is young, she is already a well-known pharmacist at Donglai Academy.
Of course, the most important thing is that she is the only daughter of the dean of Dongnai Academy. The dean dotes on her very much, and the people in the academy naturally do not want to offend her, so you were successfully brought back to Dongnai Academy.
Three days later, under Bai Ling's careful treatment, you finally regained your breath and finally woke up. Your eyes finally opened and you were able to speak.
But you have nothing to say, because you find that your mind is blank and you can't remember anything. You have amnesia.
Bai Ling didn't ask you anything, she just told you to take good care of your injuries. Although your life was saved, because of the severe injuries to your muscles and bones, she wasn't very sure whether you could recover. It depends on your physique and recovery ability.
Three more days have passed and you have improved a lot. Although you still can't get up, your arms can already move. At least Bai Ling doesn't need to give you medicine or anything.
In the past few days, seeing that little girl who is smaller than you but like an elf taking care of you in every possible way, I feel very grateful.
Although you know that she is a real rich lady and you are just a person of unknown origin, you have secretly sworn in your heart that you will repay her with death if necessary.
Bai Ling obviously didn't want anything in return from you, he just took good care of you. It wasn't until he noticed that you were always looking at her blankly that he blushed and told you that she thought of her brother when she saw your appearance at that time.
She originally had an older brother, who had doted on her ever since she could remember. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky and he couldn't pick them off, he would find a way to find some shiny stones for her and say he could pick them off for her.
of stars.
About five years ago, her brother was sixteen years old, but that day was the darkest day for her, because that was the day she saw her father carrying her brother back, who was covered in blood.
Her father called her over. Her brother had breathed his last breath, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile and told her that he would no longer be able to take care of her. He asked her to grow up well and help him take care of his father in the future.
