Back in the room, Long Chen washed and changed clothes, and then went to the meeting hall.
It's already dark outside
The empress changed into court clothes and sat at the front. The four princesses and Long Chen were on the left. Below were the generals of the Long Family Army, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin.
Ziyun and Miaoyin were injured just now, and they are still undergoing treatment.
The two of them were unlucky and were injured by the demon's hyoid bead poisonous needle.
Yu Wenkai, Tu Zhi, Hu Feiyang, Qiu Kuohai and other generals sat down on the other side.
Behind them are the barbarian Ba Si, Yu Fuguo, Peng Qing and Ruan.
The empress glanced at everyone present. All the high-ranking generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still there. There were not many of them, and she felt a little more at ease.
This killing was so brutal that the Empress was worried that the Zhou generals would suffer too many casualties.
"Today, the army led by Wu Sheng and the Ghost Clan attacked Yanmen Pass. All the soldiers worked together and repelled the attack of the ghost clan. I would like to thank all the generals on behalf of the people of the world."
The empress stood up, and the four princesses and Long Chen stood up at the same time and bowed deeply to the generals.
The generals immediately stood up and returned the greeting.
The empress sat down, and everyone sat down again.
"What are the casualties today?"
The empress looked at Wu Jian, who sighed: "Still counting, today's battle was too brutal. Although the ghost tribe failed to break through Yanmen Pass, the casualties were severe. Our army suffered heavy casualties, especially the elite."
The ordinary soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass and shooting arrows suffered few casualties, and the soldiers serving as reserves in the pass suffered even fewer casualties.
But the elite soldiers who had been trained took positions in front of both sides and fought fiercely, causing heavy casualties.
The Empress and Long Chen looked solemn.
Although we won the battle today, there were many casualties. It can only be said to be a miserable victory.
"When it comes to fighting, there is no immortality. As long as you win, it will be fine."
"Today's battle was very good. Don't be so heavy-handed. The ghost clan must have suffered more casualties than us, especially you kid. I didn't expect you to defeat Wu Sheng. The ghost girl was killed and fled."
The Empress and Long Chen care about their soldiers, but Yu Wenkai has seen too many of them and doesn't care that much.
Yu Wenkai is right, the most important thing in a war is winning, and sacrifices are inevitable.
Speaking of Long Chen's defeat of Wu Sheng, the Empress was also very surprised and asked: "Wu Sheng snatched your short stick at that time, how come you were seriously injured?"
Yu Wenkai also asked: "That thing is also gunpowder? Isn't it so powerful?"
After arriving at Yanmen Pass, Yu Wenkai had seen muskets and artillery, and he basically knew the power of gunpowder.
The short stick held by Wu Sheng at that time was very small. Even if it was full of gunpowder, it would not be that powerful.
People who saw it at the time were also surprised and wanted to know what Long Chen used.
Long Chen said: "That's not gunpowder, that's another thing. This kind of thing is difficult to make and preserve. I spent a lot of effort to make that one."
That's not black powder, but nitroglycerin, a high explosive.
It was extremely difficult to make nitroglycerin under ancient conditions. You first had to use animal fat to make glycerin, and you also needed caustic soda, sulfuric acid, and diatomaceous earth.
The biggest problem is purification. Only when the purity is achieved can the power be increased.
The final product was just a short stick.
Of course, this production process also has advantages, that is, it straightens out the process, and it will be easier to do it again later.
The power of explosives made with nitroglycerin was doubled. When Wu Sheng was blown up, he looked very miserable.
"When did you leave the explosives there?"
Di Luoxi asked Long Chen.
During the fight in front of the pass, Long Chen seemed to have accidentally picked up the short stick from the ground, but it couldn't have been such a coincidence. Long Chen must have prepared it in advance.
Long Chen said: "I deliberately placed it there when I came out of seclusion. During the battle, I slowly moved to that area, then pretended that the weapon was knocked away, and then picked it up smoothly."
Yu Wenkai clicked his tongue and praised: "That brat has so many evil intentions. Wu Sheng is going to be so angry this time, hahaha."
Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue were sitting in the back. They both felt that Long Chen was so powerful that he could actually pull off such a trick.
"Anyway, we won this battle, let's celebrate tonight!"
The empress gave the order, and the generals stood up, thanked them, and then dispersed.
The empress returned to her room, and Long Chen walked into the ward, which was full of wounded soldiers.
Han Ziping is leading the sergeants to distribute ghost blood, which is more effective than any medicine.
After the wounded soldiers drank ghost blood, their wounds healed quickly.
"grown ups."
When Han Ziping saw Long Chen, he immediately came over to pay his respects.
The military doctor in charge of the pharmacy also came to pay a visit.
"Try your best to treat the injured brothers. They are fighting for the people of the world. We cannot let them die."
Long Chen patted the military doctor on the shoulder, and the military doctor said: "King Wu, don't worry, they are all his brothers. Fortunately, King Wu has captured so many ghost prisoners. This ghost blood is really evil. One sip is like an elixir, and even one breath can cure it."
Hang it back."
Long Chen didn't speak. The effect of ghost blood was very good, but after drinking it, the body would also change.
It doesn't matter if you are an elite soldier who is already half-ghost, drinking ghost blood is equivalent to improving your cultivation level.
But for those who have not received elite soldier training, after drinking ghost blood, they become half-ghosts.
Most of the soldiers were very happy. They had saved a life and improved their cultivation.
Long Chen was very worried in his heart. After drinking ghost blood, these people became half-ghosts. What should these people do after the battle is over?
"Thanks a lot."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
The military doctor retreated, and Han Ziping took Long Chen to a small room. Meng Yidao was lying inside, and a military doctor was suturing the wound with a needle and thread.
"grown ups."
Seeing Long Chen, Meng Yidao wanted to get up, but Long Chen immediately walked over and said: "Lie down, you are too seriously injured."
Meng Yidao smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not good at studying and I got a lot of holes in it."
Han Ziping said: "Qin Hao is the number one general under Wu Sheng. It's good that you are alive."
Meng Yidao looked at the gaping wound and said, "Their weapons are really weird. The wound cannot be healed."
Wounds caused by ordinary weapons can heal quickly, but the wounds caused by Qin Hao's black gun fester and suppurate, which is very vicious.
"Their weapons are also made of special materials, so they must be different."
"Did you drink ghost blood?"
Long Chen saw that Meng Yidao's wound was still very serious.
Meng Yidao said: "I feel better after drinking."
"My lord, please go see General Gan Zhen. He is also seriously injured."
Long Chen nodded, and he and Han Ziping arrived at Gan Zhen's room, where the military doctor was scraping off the rotten flesh on his back.
"grown ups."
Gan Zhen was lying on his stomach, and when he heard Long Chen's voice, he immediately turned around.
"Why is there poison on the back?"
Long Chen was very surprised. Gan Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "I was hit by that old witch's ball. I only felt pain at the time. I didn't expect that it would start to rot when I came back."
Long Chen said: "The hyoid bone beads of the ghost priests and demon spirits are weapons made from the hyoid bones of poisonous sea fish. They are extremely poisonous."
"Did you drink ghost blood?"
Gan Zhen said: "If you drink it, it's useless. It's still rotten."
The military doctor put down the scalpel and said, "This poison is too strange and cannot be cured."
Long Chen thought for a moment, then took a cup and cut his wrist to bleed.
After placing a cup, Long Chen took a reed pipe and inserted it into the cup.
"Drink it, ghost blood is useless, try my blood."
Gan Zhen looked at the blood and said movedly: "Sir, you are also injured, why are you bleeding again?"
