Chapter 504.1: Slight Abnormality
Li Hong Yuan shook the blood droplets from his spear. These ordinary soldiers were this scared of him, hiding far far away. However, after killing some, he also started losing interest. Moreover, for a single person, no matter how capable, even if killing in one hit, to continuously kill, how many can be killed? Never mind it being tiring, the intimidation factor was also limited.
As such, Li Hong Yuan had his gaze turned towards those high ranking generals, intentionally starting to look for those people. To really want to find those people, it wasn’t considered hard either. As the saying goes, soldiers fight soldiers, generals fight generals. The disparity between high ranking generals and ordinary soldiers was still very big. Under normal circ.u.mstances, because it was too chaotic, who would still have the spare energy to look for someone specifically. Unfortunately, the living Enma, this killing G.o.d, was too fierce, to the extent that if he doesn’t actively look for an opponent, he will just become ‘very idle’. If he’s willing, then he can probably even do something like ‘drink tea’ among a pile of corpses.
Li Hong Yuan used the tip of his tongue to sweep the corner of his mouth. That place seemingly got splattered with blood previously.
Once Li Hong Yuan chose his target, he just prepared to make a move. For these high ranking generals to want to easily escape like the soldiers, it won’t be that easy, because the people picked by Li Hong Yuan all had an opponent already. When crossing blades, to suddenly turn around and flee, that was wanting to die or wanting to die?
To sneak attack from the side and steal another’s ‘kill’, this kind of thing, Li Hong Yuan wasn’t the least bit embarra.s.sed about. In any case, he was just killing the person, that’s all.
And Li Hong Yuan specifically picked this kind of situation to make a move. In an extremely short amount of time, the high ranking Xiongnu generals that died at his hand already exceeded three. Every general got beheaded, naturally all needing to get properly proclaimed. The purpose was clear and easy to see.
From the beginning to now, merely an hour had pa.s.sed, yet Xiongnu already lost over ten thousand people. This for the dauntless Xiongnu army was definitely a very abnormal matter, and this also greatly exceeded Daxian w.a.n.g’s initial expectation. But, the situation right now for Xiongnu was extremely unfavorable. Just based on the current morale, to continue like this, the loss would only increase more and more. There won’t be any improvement. Having no other choice, Daxian w.a.n.g could only give the order to retreat.
Just, the current situation for Qi Yuan was very favorable, so how could they be willing to give up such a good opportunity. Fu Yun Ting merely just glanced at the situation on the battlefield and immediately just gave the order to pursue. This pursuit just directly stretched out to fifty li.

Shortly after, Qi Yuan’s army just set up camp on the spot.
It was without a doubt a great victory.
And in this battle, it was obvious that Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s contributions were the greatest——–Although to a certain degree, there exist a very big coincidence in this matter, for the most part, even if duplicating in the future, it probably won’t reach the same effect, but the final outcome still can’t be denied. As such, even if this battle had ended, there were still people excitedly discussing about Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s valiance.
Just, it seems they didn’t see Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s figure, unable to gaze upon this w.a.n.gye. Fortunately, in the end, they confirmed that he’d already returned, and not meeting with some mishap.
TN: All
Fu Yun Ting dragged along his unwell body, quickly and steadily arranging the follow-up matters.
Shortly after, Fu Yun Ting just received report that the wounded soldiers of this battle have already been appropriately arranged for first thing.
That’s right, precisely first thing. The battlefield rescue team that Jing Wan organized debuted for the first time today.
It was also Jing Wan’s first time being this close to the very frontline. Although she was unable to see the specifics, the battle cries nevertheless continuously rang. Merely just hearing, it was all able to make one tense, being on full alert, seemingly as if the enemy will appear by one’s side at anytime. And if not careful, one’s head might just separate from the body, losing one’s life.
At the same time, she also personally witnessed this rescue squad’s first operation, moving rapidly and effectively, busy but not chaotic. Truthfully speaking, compared to Jing Wan’s expectation, it was much much better. In Jing Wan’s eyes, for them to be able to reach the edge and save a few people while the two sides fought, it was more than enough. However, Jing Wan underestimated these people, because this bunch weren’t ordinary people but trained soldiers, at the very least also veterans that have traveled through the b.l.o.o.d.y rainstorm many times. What they carried on them weren’t just things for emergency treatment, but also the support rack and such, as well as lethal weapons that can be pulled out at any time.
Perhaps because in the end, it wasn’t witnessing the actual scene of the battlefield, Jing Wan was still considered calm. Looking at all the things they prepared, and in the end, learning that these were actually all Gong Jiu’s handiwork, she seemingly wasn’t that curious anymore. Gong Jiu in the end came from the shadow guards. No matter the changes, one can’t overlook his ruthlessness.
Jing Wan looked at those compact and easy to carry blades, suddenly recalling something. That was just the somewhat exaggeratedly rumored tri-edge army dagger (jagdkommando tri-dagger). That thing, Jing Wan certainly never came in contact with before, mostly just hearing from others and the internet. However, it seemingly was internationally recognized as the most deadly dagger, getting banned in use, only allowed in ceremonial performances.
Its design primarily focused on stabbing and letting blood. The ordinary functions of a common blade, such as slicing, picking, and peeling were relatively weak.
After stabbing into the human body, it would let air quickly enter through the blood grooves[1]. The air would then form into large amounts of air bubbles in the body, clogging the blood vessels. Just need to stab around eight centimeters deep into any part of the body to cause the opponent to immediately die. Moreover, having the blade pulled out from the depressurized body cavity was effortless.
Seemingly because when smelting, a certain amount of a.r.s.enic needed to be added into the metal, after the protective phosphate coating wears away on the battlefield, exposing the steel body that contains a.r.s.enic, even if just sc.r.a.ping the opponent’s skin, it was all very difficult to heal, bringing about the legend of the dagger soaked in poison. However, at present, it wasn’t the same. After slightly altering, even if directly soaking in poison, no one would question.
That’s why, if the tri-edge dagger were to reach her husband’s hand, then go through Gong Jiu’s, then perhaps it really can become as impressive as rumored, becoming an excellent weapon. Although it’s possible that to a certain degree, it was more suitable for the shadow guards to use.
Because unable to intervene, plus they also didn’t allow her to get involved, to be able to let her stand here was already the greatest level of tolerance, Jing Wan naturally just obediently stood to the side, not rashly going forward to disturb them. Even if noticing some problem, she also just took note of inside. Speaking of which, if not for the fact that no matter where there needs to be people guarding by Jing Wan’s side at all times, then afraid Jing Wan won’t even stay here. After all, if she doesn’t need protection, then there will be even more people available to help. Her being here was just a burden. Unfortunately, Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s hard rule, no one can oppose. That’s why, regardless of where, she all needed to take up a portion of the manpower.
Prior to Li Hong Yuan returning, these people were busying themselves the whole time, and Jing Wan just stood to the side like a wooden pillar.
Seeing each and every injured soldier, either missing an arm or leg, or dyed in blood, some even lying on the stretcher with just a breath left, even if putting in that much hard work, there will still be countless lives fading away.
