Chapter 32 Yao Xiu returns to camp
Zhang Zhentian and Tao Zhu surrounded Yao Xiu. Zhang Zhentian raised Yao Xiu's body from the ground and held it in his arms. He felt that Yao Xiu's back was wet. He put his hand in a wet position and touched it with his hand, and his hands were immediately stained with blood.
"Is she injured?" Tao Zhu stood beside Zhang Zhentian, and he exclaimed in a low voice. Zhang Zhentian didn't say anything. He leaned Yao Xiu's body on one of his arms, and then carefully checked the wound on Yao Xiu's back. The injury on Yao Xiu's back was obviously caused by some kind of beast attack. The wound looks deep, but not much blood flows out of the wound. It must be the unknown plant stems and leaves on the wound that prevented the blood from continuing to flow out.
"You saved her?" Zhang Zhentian looked at the herbs on Yao Xiu's back, and then looked up at Ma Jiao. And Ma Jiao seemed to understand Zhang Zhentian's words, and it stood aside. Huier!" You have to whisper.
"It seems that she was seriously injured." When Zhang Zhentian saw that Ma Jiao understood his words, he said, "Well! Would you like to help me carry her down the mountain! The injury on her body must be treated by a doctor, otherwise, it may endanger her life.
"Hui'er!" The horse raised its front paw and tore it loudly. Then, its body lay on the ground. Obviously, it agreed to Zhang Zhentian's request, and it was willing to help Zhang Zhentian take Yao Xiu back to the original land.
In this way, Zhang Zhentian placed Yao Xiu's body on the back of Ma Jiao with the help of Tao Zhu. Then, Zhang Zhentian took off his clothes and covered Yao Xiu's body. Their party slowly went to the original camp.
On the way, when they passed the ridge near the eight-sided slope path, Tao Zhu suddenly pointed to the orc army marching on the path and said to Zhang Zhentian in horror, "Mr. Zhang! Things are not good."
"What?" Zhang Zhentian stopped and looked down the mountain. On the path, orc infantry helped each other three or five times. In these infantry ranks, some cavalry are occasionally mixed. What surprised Zhang Zhentian most was that some orcs held a huge wolf in their hands, or followed by a bear equipped with armor.
"It's wolf cavalry and bear cavalry!" Tao Zhu looked at Zhang Zhentian's expression and said, "These are the elite of the orc army. I'm afraid that our army on the eight-sided slope will be difficult to fight."
"Hmm!" Zhang Zhentian answered and then said, "Then let's go down the mountain quickly!" I hope we can rush back to the camp before them.
At dark, Zhang Zhentian and Tao Zhu, accompanied by Ma Jiao, returned to the camp with the seriously injured Yao Xiu. After that, it goes without saying that Yao Xiu was sent for medical treatment. And Ma Jiao, who sent Yao Xiu back, had no intention of leaving the original camp. It has been guarding the outside of Yao Xiu's room. It seems that this psychic beast has regarded Yao Xiu as its partner, and it is willing to stay with Yao Xiu.
The generals in the camp learned that Zhang Zhentian had returned to the camp. Under the leadership of Xue Jin, they surrounded Zhang Zhentian's room together. Then, Xue Jin told Zhang Zhentian in detail what happened during Zhang Zhentian's departure. After listening to this, Zhang Zhentian couldn't help sighing about the death of building together.
After these explanations were completed, Zhang Zhentian told everyone about him and Tao Zhu's discovery of wolf cavalry and bear cavalry on the road. The strength of the wolf cavalry has been learned by the generals in the room, but the bear cavalry came again, which still made everyone feel a little scared.
"Mr. Zhang, when I was with Miss Yao Xiu's father, I once learned the power of bear cavalry." After listening to Zhang Zhentian's words, Xue Jin twisted his mouth and then continued, "These bear cavalry are mainly used to attack the opponent's infantry phalanx or simple fortifications. These bears are heavily armored, so they don't move fast, but it is difficult for bows and arrows to hurt them from the front.
"It seems that we still have to prepare some crossbows!" Jiang Dongfang listened to Xue Jin's words and said to Zhang Zhentian, "Although these bear cavalry are strong, they are huge and must not be as convenient as horses and infantry to move on the battlefield. Therefore, if we prepare more crossbows, we may be able to deal with it." Jiang Dongfang must have said that he must have learned from the ancient times of the earth's world, the Greeks or Romans' methods of dealing with Persian war elephants. Moreover, when he was in Yanzhou, he also found that the original army was indeed equipped with crossbow guns and catapults.
"This method sounds feasible!" Tao Zhu listened to Jiang Dongfang's words and nodded and replied, "This crossbow gun is more densely prepared and then placed behind our fortifications, which can not only deal with bear cavalry, but also other arms of orcs."
"That's a good way!" Li Wancheng also said after hearing this, "It's just that this method is conducive to defense, but how can we deal with the orc bear cavalry in the future?" Obviously, the early morning battle was still deeply reflected in his mind.
After listening to Li Wancheng's words, everyone in the room stopped making a sound. Just then, Su Wanyue knocked on the door and came in from the outside, "Brother Zhang, Miss Xiuer woke up. She is looking for you!"
Zhang Zhentian heard this, waved his hand to the crowd, and then said to everyone with apologies, "I think so! How to deal with the bear cavalry, let's go back and think about it again. Four generals, Andingfang, Li Wancheng, Song Wei and Liu Cong, will leave this matter to the four of you to build crossbows, right? Let's see if there are any soldiers in the army who are good at manufacturing similar weapons.
Yes! Mr. Zhang. Andingfang and the other four listened to Zhang Zhentian's words and agreed.
"All right! I'm going to see Yao Xiu's injury. Let's break up today!" After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he got up and went to Yao Xiu's room with Su Wanyue. The generals in the room naturally returned to the camp and thought about how to deal with the bear cavalry.
In Yao Xiu's room, Yao Xiu has woken up from a coma. Her body leaned on the bed, and her lips had become bleached due to blood loss. Zhang Zhentian quietly pushed open the door and entered the room, and Su Wanyue sent Zhang Zhentian into the room. She was so interested that she stayed outside. She let Zhang Zhentian go to the inner room one by one.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Zhentian sat down gently on the chair next to Yao Xiu, then bent down and asked Yao Xiu in a low voice, "Does your back still hurt?"
"Hmm!" Yao Xiu snorted softly, and then she supported her body with her arm and turned her head to the other side. Zhang Zhentian saw it, and he had no choice but to get up and lift up the sheet that had slipped Yao Xiu's body due to movement, "Be careful! Don't catch a cold."
"Don't worry about me!" Yao Xiu replied to him fiercely behind his face, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been hurt like this!"
"It's me! It's all my fault." Zhang Zhentian shook his head with a wry smile, "Then will you punish me after you get well? You have a good rest now."
"How's the injury?" Yao Xiu listened to Zhang Zhentian's words. She turned her head back with dissatisfaction, and then looked at Zhang Zhentian fiercely and said, "Can the wound on my back be healed? Well, it will also leave a big scar!"
"No! No!" Zhang Zhentian hurriedly said, "I have asked the medical officer just now!" He said it was just a skin injury, not serious! There will be no scars in the future."
"Do all the words to coax people!" Yao Xiu still didn't believe it. After a few days, she blinked her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhentian and asked, "If I have a scar on my back, I can't get married in the future. Can you marry me?"
"This..." Zhang Zhentian was stunned. Although he knew that the women in this world were not as conservative as the women in the Middle Ages of the earth, even if it were the modern society of the earth world, this woman would not easily talk about marriage. Just as Zhang Zhentian hesitated, Yao Xiu had tears on her face. At the same time, she shouted at Zhang Zhentian aggrievedly, "You dare not marry me!" It shows that I will definitely leave a scar on my back. You don't have to coax people with lies!" After saying that, her head was about to turn to the other side.
"Marry! Marry!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Xiu's words and didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, but the word "marry" came out of his mouth in a hurry.
