The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1033

Chapter 1033: 496 Strongest Counterattack (Second Update)

"I have seen the Grand Marshal Tang." Hu Dongqiang saluted.

He was carrying Gu Jiao’s small backpack on his back, and Tang Yueshan understood that this small backpack was very important to Gu Jiao. The fact that he was carrying it indicated that he had been chosen by Gu Jiao.

Indeed, he does have some observational skills.

Tang Yueshan nodded inwardly.

Gu Jiao wasn’t wearing a mask, her face completely exposed to the sunlight, and everyone looked at her in surprise.

The Soldiers accustomed to risking their lives for a lick of blood had little interest in the birthmark on her face; rather, it was her young age that sparked everyone’s curiosity.

She seemed even younger than them.

People looked beyond Gu Jiao and also up to the mountain tops she had descended from, but even after a long time, they did not see a third person come down.

Did they really think reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived?

So, was the great commotion just now all caused by this young lad in green clothes?

His Red-Tasseled Spear is so ugly!

"Does anyone need medical attention?" Gu Jiao asked Tang Yueshan.

Tang Yueshan and Gu Jiao counted the wounded in their troops together. There were several hundred with minor injuries, fifty with serious injuries, including twenty-three who needed on-site treatment, and three critically wounded Soldiers.

Gu Jiao said to Tang Yueshan, "Those who aren’t injured should take those with minor injuries and go back first. Leave fifty people behind; we will carry back the seriously injured and critically wounded Soldiers later."

Tang Yueshan nodded. Among the fifty, he included himself as one.

"General! We won’t leave!" an Archer said.

Tang Yueshan said sternly, "This is a military order!"

The Archer gritted his teeth, "...Yes!"

With Tang Yueshan’s two deputy generals having fallen in battle, he selected a new Deputy General Li from the Archers and a Deputy General Cen from the infantry, and the two led the troops to leave first.

Naturally, they did not forget to clean up the Battlefield, taking with them the rations, weapons, and fine horses left by the Zhan Country Soldiers.

"Also strip off their Armor; it can be melted down to make new ones," Gu Jiao suggested.

Tang Yueshan looked at Gu Jiao deeply, his words halted on his lips.

Xiaohu climbed to the top of the mountain along the ropes, keeping an eye on the movements of the Zhan Country army.

"I need stretchers," Gu Jiao told Tang Yueshan.

"How many do you need?" Tang Yueshan asked.

"Ten," said Gu Jiao. "Also, we need bandages, so take off the belts of those Zhan Country Soldiers."

Tang Yueshan went about with his men looking for wooden planks and sticks for Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao commenced emergency treatment for the three critically wounded patients.

An injured Soldier’s heart had stopped beating; Gu Jiao took out adrenaline, and after injecting two doses, his heartbeat returned.

Tang Yueshan watched the strange-looking syringes for a while, somewhat dumbfounded.

Not all Military Officers who sacrificed their lives on the Battlefield died in action; many died from serious injuries after unsuccessful medical treatment.

The medical skills of Zhan Country surpassed those of their own, which is why their casualty rate for wounded Soldiers was much lower than that of the Zhan Country army.
