Chapter 251 Heavy Casualties
When Shen Yiyi heard Shang Zhanchen say that he was full, she looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, then just lie down and rest for a while."
"Oh, no need, I'll just sit down." Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his lips.
He straightened his back deliberately. His neck was blocked by the food he ate. Even now, he felt the fish soup in his stomach was about to come out whenever he moved, let alone lying down.
Hearing him say he didn't want to lie down, Shen Yiyi didn't say anything else. After all, he was a general and had to pay attention to his image in everything.
He can do whatever he wants, it won't delay my meal. I was just busy feeding him and I'm not full myself.
Shang Zhanchen also noticed it. Looking at Shen Yiyi eating the fish in big mouthfuls, he tactfully pushed the fish bowl forward.
Shen Yiyi didn't notice his actions either, as all her attention was focused on the fish in front of her.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t eaten fish for a while, but it tastes really good now.
Not only her, but also the soldiers outside were enjoying the meal very much.
There was a big piece of fish in everyone's bowl, and a bowl of fish soup next to it. They took a bite of fish and sipped the soup, enjoying the meal so much.
Although there is no rice to go with it, it is still very enjoyable to eat. It seems that the prince used to catch a lot of fish.
But there are hundreds of thousands of people. When the soup is served to their bowls, they would be lucky to see a fish bone.
It’s never been like this before. Not only can I eat as much fish as I want, but I also have enough fish soup. I haven’t had a full meal in the past few months, so this time I’m really enjoying it.
Plus, the fish in this bowl was really delicious, and everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
It was so delicious!
Even General Su and his deputy generals looked happy while eating. The soldiers were able to have a full meal thanks to the Crown Princess.
When I think about the fact that no one died in today's battle, I feel even happier.
At this moment, there was a sharp contrast between the Tiansheng Dynasty and this side. Everyone was dejected.
"General, the number of people has been counted. We have more than 17,000 dead, more than 8,000 seriously injured, and more than 20,000 slightly injured."
The deputy general bowed to Chu Yunba with a dejected look on his face. There had never been a battle with such heavy casualties as this one.
Not to mention the large number of deaths, there were also so many seriously injured that even the soldiers' morale was gone.
“……………………”Chu Yunba clenched his fists.
Looking towards the direction of the Great Shang Kingdom, he felt even more hatred.
The news clearly said that they had been out of food for several days, how could they still be so brave!
He looked at the wounded soldiers in front of him and felt even more depressed. Seeing how serious their injuries were, it seemed that they would not be able to join the battle for a while.
As I was thinking about this, the military doctor rushed in.
"General, we are out of medicine. We must purchase more quickly." The military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He had heard before that there would not be many casualties in this battle, and thought that the medicines in stock would be sufficient. However, he never expected that the casualties in this battle would be the heaviest he had ever seen.
The remaining medicines are not enough to treat the more than 8,000 seriously injured people, and there are more than 20,000 minor injuries that have not been treated.
There is a huge shortage of medicines nowadays. If we don’t purchase them quickly, the wounded will be treated late.
"Hurry up and send someone to purchase." Chu Yunba looked at the deputy general beside him.
I was so angry that my head was buzzing. I never expected this battle to be so brutal.
The Shang army doesn't look like it's running out of fuel at all. Just look at its momentum today, it's stronger than any of them.
I estimated that I could hold out for another two months, but it looks like it will take a while.
Whenever he thought of this, he became even angrier. If it weren't for that loser Shang Zhanfei, how could he have underestimated the enemy and suffered such heavy casualties.
Our vitality is severely damaged and the Shang army is so fierce. It seems that we can't make any moves for a while.
General Su and Shang Zhanchen had also anticipated this, and guessed that they were severely injured and would not take action in the short term.
Therefore, the next day, another 10,000 people were sent to Shen Yiyi, asking her to take those people to the distant mountains to hunt.
Looking at the huge crowd in front of her, Shen Yiyi's jaw dropped in shock.
"Are there too many people?" She looked at Shang Zhanchen, then turned back and pointed at the people in front of her.
The five thousand people before were already a lot, and she also felt that they were enough, so she called so many people at once.
It looked so cautious, as if we were going to a war, but it seemed totally unnecessary.
"Big......" Jiang Zuo was about to come over to explain.
Shang Zhanchen grabbed the back of her collar and threw her backwards, glaring at him in dissatisfaction.
"………………………"
What a fool! What a fool! He was exposed.
I finally got the chance to talk to his Crown Princess, but he came here to interrupt me, as if he had no eyes.
"Hmm?" Shen Yiyi turned around.
She seemed to hear Xiao Jiang's voice, but why didn't she see it if she looked back?
You will find Jiang Zuo lying on the ground, and now he is trying to get up with his butt sticking out and his teeth bared.
"……………………"
The master is too cruel!
Fortunately, the ground is covered with grass, otherwise my front teeth would have been knocked out.
Seeing the woman stretching her neck to look back, Shang Zhanchen directly blocked her view.
He showed his big white teeth, but when he remembered what Jiang Zuo said to him, he quickly retracted his teeth.
"Miss Shen, we have a lot of people with us today. In addition to hunting, we also want to ask Miss Shen to help us collect some medicinal herbs."
"Collecting herbs?" Shen Yiyi looked at Shang Zhanchen. No one had told her this before.
“Well, Miss Shen, we have almost used up all the medicine, so we want to bring more people and collect more medicine.
I'd like to trouble Miss Shen to make some more medicine powder and ointment. If a war breaks out, we can supply medicine and reduce the casualties of the soldiers."
Yesterday, military doctor Wang said that there were not many medicines left in the military camp, in order to avoid a shortage of medicines in the future.
That's why I thought of sending more people today to collect some medicines and make more finished medicines, so that there will be a shortage of supply when they are needed.
"Oh, but making medicine requires stone troughs and stone pestles." Shen Yiyi looked at Shang Zhanchen.
It's not enough to just have the medicinal herbs, they need a stone trough and a stone pestle to grind them into powder. No one had told her about this before, so she was not prepared at all.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen. I heard from Xiao Jiang that someone has already bought it." Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his mouth.
How could they not know about this? They sent someone to buy it yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to get it back today.
"Oh, okay then." Shen Yiyi nodded.
It’s better to buy it, otherwise she would have wanted to talk about this matter again, and she would have given away so many medicinal herbs.
I have to give it back eventually, so I might as well take this opportunity to do more and keep my share.
Looking at the people in front of him, he waved at them.
"Then let's set off now!"
