Chapter 136 Madness

Yan State is different from the surrounding countries and the Great Qi Dynasty. Women's status is mostly low. Before life and death, instinct is naturally stronger than reason. Etiquette does not exist in these countries. Women are like spoils of war, tools for strong men to reproduce strong offspring. Except for being able to speak, they are not much different from animals.

These women are homeless. The Yan people slaughtered the people. Their families died under the butcher's knife. They are not happy to be rescued. It is self-evident what they have experienced. It is lucky to survive.

Jiang Ruohua asked the military doctor to check them. After thinking about it, he called someone to go to the nearby city to get some contraceptives to boil for the girls.

Life is already extremely sad. There is not much she can do, but it is better to have fewer worse things.

The girls seemed a little surprised to see the female leader, but seeing the same sex can relax their tense nerves.

Jiang Ruohua asked them if they had any other places to go, whether they were willing to find a place to live, or stay in the army with her and do some logistical work.

The girls had a rare unanimous opinion. They had nothing, but they still had a hatred for their families being destroyed. They only hated that they could not take revenge with their own hands. Although staying in the army was hard, they could see the thieves being killed one day. This revenge mentality was enough to make them insist on living well.

There were quite a few complaints in the army, but no one dared to make suggestions to Jiang Ruohua. Seeing that the girls did not drag their feet, they acquiesced to this matter one by one.

Four months passed, and Jiang Ruohua successfully recovered the lost land, but the enemy did not intend to surrender. After the eldest prince of Yan was shot through the shoulder by her arrow, he seemed to be on the same page with Jiang Ruohua, and said that he must make Jiang Ruohua look good. The allies of several small countries seemed to be desperate and had been planning how to fight back.

This battle is not easy to fight. After two months of stalemate, the army is inevitably exhausted. It is not a solution to keep consuming. Now the enemy wants to fight them to the death. Passive will only fall behind.

In the camp, Jiang Ruohua and several generals in the army analyzed the map outside the pass and analyzed where to send troops next.

Outside the pass is another world, and some actions must be cautious.

Carefully send people to spy everywhere, analyze everywhere, and finally finalize the route. The army set out and captured a small army of the opponent. After that, every action must be extra careful.

The enemy was forced into a hurry. Some of the troops rushed around like mad dogs. The main purpose was food and grass. Compared with the Daqi Dynasty, these small countries had difficulty in producing food, and they could not have a steady supply of food and grass from all over the country to the border like the Daqi Dynasty.

Jiang Ruohua decided to use the food carts as bait and wait for these starving enemy troops to take the bait.

Several months have passed since then, and this method is quite useful. People who are extremely hungry can do anything. Many of them were wiped out without any effort. The rest seemed to have learned to be smart, or perhaps the enemy leader gave a death order.

In the next few months, there were many more battles. These people were much easier to march than them on their own territory. They had to ensure victory, advance the army, and ensure that our army would not suffer too much loss. Jiang Ruohua racked his brains for this and was busy like a top.

Fortunately, Jiang Shizi's injury has been almost healed after so long, and many years of experience in leading troops have brought Jiang Ruohua many new ideas. She has become more familiar with the battlefield and has grown into what she expected.

But life will never be smooth sailing all the time. Even if you think about it carefully, you will not be willing to save all tragedies.

The enemy is really fierce and vows to fight them to the death. He is so desperate that he starts to use some ways that will hurt both sides to slow down his own pace.

Each of them was ready to die, and took several lives with them. Almost everyone attacked in a nearly suicidal way. The soldiers of the Daqi Dynasty died one after another because of their extreme methods, such as poisoning, spontaneous combustion, and this desperate attack method. A series of actions had to lead the army to retreat and make corrections.

Even the experienced veterans had never seen such a scene.

They tried to capture a few people alive, but they didn't get anything out of the interrogation. One by one, they didn't speak with red eyes, just staring at people with hatred, and then suddenly died. In short, there was no clue.

If the consumption continued like this, although there were many soldiers and sufficient food and grass in the Daqi Dynasty, the shocking number dropped in an instant in the past few months, and there were tens of thousands of troops that were reorganized and attacked desperately. Just to eliminate these people, they suffered a lot.

Because of the abnormality of the enemy, they suffered heavy losses.

This is not a solution. If the consumption continues, more soldiers will die for this, and the consumption of food and grass brought by the war is also a burden on the country and the people.

If the battle is not over, the food and grass will not be cut off. This is not acceptable.

As for the abnormal behavior of the enemy, the results of the discussion were different. Some said it was witchcraft in these small tribes, and some said it was the blessing of their ancestors. There were many different opinions, but many of them were inseparable from ghosts and gods.

Jiang Ruohua didn't think it was possible.

If there was such a useful method, how could her great country, the Great Qi Dynasty, not have it? Generations have changed, and there are countless people, but no one has appeared in battle, right?

At that moment, she ordered people to pick up a body that had just been taken out today and sent it back to see Doctor Yuan.

She was more inclined to believe that it was caused by taking some secret medicine.

Just like in the old arena competition, someone took a rare secret medicine to win. This secret medicine can make him strong in a short period of time, as if his energy is endless. His strength can indeed be improved to a certain extent, but after the effect of the medicine wears off, he rolls on the ground as if his bones are corroded and his heart is burning. He was tortured to death on the spot.

This may be similar. Otherwise, how to explain that these small countries are still unwilling to surrender and admit defeat even though they have been beaten like this?

Although the enemy army can still fight, it is roughly calculated that nearly half of them have been killed in the past two years, and most of them are young and strong men. They have also taken nearly one-third of the city and land. If these small countries harassed the border to rob food and kill people in order to survive, then now their men are almost killed like this. Isn’t it inconsistent with their previous actions?

This should not be so abnormal.

While waiting for the results, Jiang Ruohua began to order the army to deploy and rest well, and not to rashly fight the enemy, but perhaps they underestimated the degree to which the other party did not want to die.

It was a month later that they got a chance to catch their breath. After taking inventory, almost no one looked happy. Several veterans looked at each other, hesitating whether to tell Prince Jiang about Jiang Ruohua's missing whereabouts.
