Chapter 137 Captive
Xue Wu is a medical soldier. He and his teammate Er Mazi carry stretchers and keep moving around the battlefield.
??My foot was suddenly grabbed by a bloody hand.
??He looked down and saw that it was a half-grown child.
"Save...save me...please..."
In the firelight, Xue Wu clearly saw the tattered clothes on the child. He was a Tartar.
But the child was so fragile that he seemed to be dying at any moment.
??Xue Wu was conflicted. A voice told him that he should kill the child with a dagger immediately, but another voice said to save this poor man.
Seeing Xue Wu hesitate, the young man continued to beg, "I... I was forced to come here... Our entire tribe was forced..."
??His tribe loved peace and could barely survive the winter by secretly exchanging food from the interior, but the royal court was ambitious, and their entire tribe was coerced and forced to participate in the war against Dayu.
??Xue Wu turned his head to look at Ermaizi, and the two looked at each other for a moment. The tacit understanding they had developed from their cooperation made them understand each other's meaning.
"Carry him back! If it doesn't work, we'll just kill him." Erma lowered his voice, and the two of them swiftly carried the boy onto the stretcher and ran back to the big tent like a cat.
??As soon as I entered the tent, I was almost chased out by the nurse, but Yu Qiuer spoke up.
"Save him, and work for the village in the future!"
Because of this sentence, the boy named Ake finally saved his life.
Lying on the operating table, Ake watched two little girls, not even as tall as his shoulders, wearing strange white masks, deftly cutting open his clothes to disinfect and sew them up. He suddenly thought he had seen the real God.
When he was taken off the operating table, he saw Xue Wu and Er Mazi carrying the wounded back again. When the two passed by him, he grabbed Xue Wu's feet again and mustered up his courage, "Can you please save the people of our tribe... We are willing to stay and work... to be slaves..."
The people of each tribe wore different clothes, and Ake believed they could recognize them.
"I am the leader of the Tal tribe... our entire tribe is willing to serve you..."
With the death of his father, the tribe was destroyed, so the young Ake had to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Xue Wu looked at Ermaizi with embarrassment, and finally the two of them went to the big tent to ask Yu Qiuer for instructions.
As the captain of the second medical team, Yu Qiuer has the power to decide who to save and who not to save.
Yu Qiuer thought of the vast wasteland in the village, hesitated for a few breaths, and decisively ordered, "Save him first! He looks worse dressed than those people from the North District when they came. His life must be difficult. Saving him will also be considered labor."
??After receiving the order, the ten medical soldiers who were responsible for carrying the wounded came over and carefully observed Ak's clothing and noted down the characteristics of the Tal man. Then each of them took a token given by Ak and rescued the Tal man together with the others.
??At first those people thought they were going to be carried out and killed, until they saw Ake sitting outside the big tent and heard that they were saved, then they burst into tears.
??Everyone in the big tent was so busy that they had no time to rest. A Tartar who was carried in by a busy medic tried to hurt someone. A seriously injured Tartar nearby screamed to warn him, but the nurse who was bandaging him dodged and pierced the man's neck with the scissors in her hand that had just cut the gauze.
??All the Tal people who were receiving treatment opened their mouths wide, but the people in Taoyuan Village were not surprised.
??A woman whose arm was chopped off teased, "Xiao Tao, you've made great progress recently!"
The little nurse named Xiao Tao had curved eyebrows and a soft voice came out through the strange mask, "Aunt, please don't laugh at me. If I had made great progress, I would have gone to the battlefield long ago. How could I be a nurse?"
?The woman laughed twice again, "It's because Master Lin loves you. Unlike me, I have to save money for my children and my wife."
??Two medical soldiers in white coats came in and dragged the Tartar's body out, without affecting the busy work in the big tent at all.
The injured Tal were confused and had only one thought in their minds: they must not offend the people from the Central Plains. No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, they were all very fierce. Killing them was as easy as killing a chicken.
……
……
Pan Yingying used bombs to clear the way, and the soldiers from Taoyuan Village and Yaocheng quickly surrounded the Tatars from both sides.
In fact, she thought about using a gun, but her intuition told her that it would be better not to bring such hot weapons into this world, otherwise it would inevitably cause irreversible consequences.
The fighting lasted until dawn, and both sides suffered countless casualties, especially the soldiers of Yaocheng, more than half of whom were sacrificed, leaving less than 10,000 people alive.
??The situation in Taoyuan Village was relatively good because they were wearing good armor and the Second Medical Team was always concerned about their families, so there were many serious injuries but no one died.
??Nearly 20,000 Tatars escaped, and 7,000 to 8,000 were captured. This bitter battle finally came to an end, and Yaocheng was defended!
??Xiao Shan covered the wound on his shoulder and quickly ran down the city wall. As soon as he saw Yu Chaosheng, he knelt down with a plop.
"Yaocheng City Lord Xiao Shan, greetings..."
??Before he could utter the word "little prince", Cheng Hai covered his mouth and forced him to swallow it back.
??Cheng Hai's eyes were filled with threats, as if he would cut Xiao Shan's neck if he dared to say another word.
??Xiao Shan felt aggrieved. He really didn't mean it. He was just too excited.
??They all thought they were dead last night, but they didn't expect Yu Chaosheng to bring three thousand people to rescue them.
?He knelt down with all his heart convinced, and after this night, he finally put his mind at ease after having no choice but to board the pirate ship.
Yu Chaosheng was extremely tired. He held Pan Yingying's hand and carefully rewrapped her with clean gauze without raising his head.
??After being pinched on the arm by Pan Yingying, he glanced at Xiao Shan unhappily and said dryly, "Taoyuan Village wants these captives."
How could Xiao Shan dare to object? Besides, Yaocheng simply couldn't take in or contain so many people, so it would be better to let Taoyuan Village take them away quickly.
??He nodded and bowed respectfully to Chaosheng.
??Watched Yu Chaosheng supporting Pan Yingying and their group as they left in a grand manner.
??…
??…
??After everyone returned to the village eating steamed buns, Yu Chaosheng gave the order to go out and search for the corpse.
??The whole village can be said to be looking forward to this sentence and this activity.
??As soon as the iron gate opened, everyone was grabbed and touched, whether it was the corpses on the ground or the prisoners shivering with their hands and feet tied in the cold wind.
??Initially, people in the North District did not know what “touching the corpse” meant. They just thought it meant going out to touch the corpse and enjoy the joy after victory.
??As a result, people from the central area were seen rushing out with bags in their hands, stripping off all the valuable and usable items from the corpses and putting them into their pockets.
Su Dayong crossed one arm over his chest and raised his uninjured hand. "People from the North District—"
