Feng Yu Heng felt that perhaps she had not chosen the right time to meet Xuan Tianming. In that kind of environment, she was throwing stones at him while he was dragging his injured leg and half-dead, filled with blood. Their meeting was not peaceful enough, so their future interactions would never be as peaceful. Just like now. She would be leaving the capital the next day, and he would be heading to the south to quell the chaos in the near future. The two of them would find peace amidst the chaos. It was not easy for them to find a few moments of warmth, but they were suddenly interrupted.
Helpless, she lifted the curtain and walked out. Her brows furrowed as she anxiously asked, "What happened at the back of the mountain?"
The soldier replied anxiously, "A brother from the Divine Arms Battalion ran out with his face covered in blood. He said that something happened over there and that someone was injured. He called for a military doctor, but that doctor said … he was powerless to treat them. "
Xuan Tianming, who came out later, felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He knew what Feng Yu Heng had arranged for the Divine Arms Battalion to train in secret. He also knew how great of a threat those things could pose. When facing the enemy, their powerful deterrence and destructive power could practically lead to a one-sided victory in a battle. With that kind of divine weapon, their side could defeat the enemy's army of hundreds of thousands without investing too much manpower. Moreover, that kind of victory would be absolute, long-distance, and impossible for the enemy to defend against. They would not even be able to understand it. He had worried that the enemy would quickly imitate the large amounts of gunpowder, but Feng Yu Heng told him not to worry. That kind of thing was not easy to imitate. This was because many of the things inside were her own secret recipes. No one else knew about them, so they could not learn them even if they wanted to.
In truth, Xuan Tianming did not know what Feng Yu Heng really meant. She was saying that there were many things inside that did not belong to this era. Even if the ratio of gunpowder was adjusted according to the principles of this era, it was impossible to make firearms with the same effects as the guns and ammunition she had.
He had seen the power of those things with his own eyes. It was very terrifying. Now that she said that the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion had been injured, something must have gone wrong during the training. How could the people who had been blasted survive? He pulled Feng Yu Heng and quickly walked to the back of the mountain. At the same time, he asked the soldier who passed the message, "How many people were injured?" The Divine Strategy Battalion was made up of elites. They were all elites that Feng Yu Heng had secretly nurtured. Not to mention losing a batch, even losing a single one would be heart-wrenching.
The soldier was so anxious that he was about to cry. He hurriedly replied, "According to the military doctor, there are no less than ten."
There were at least ten of them! Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming looked at each other and saw regret and heartache in each other's eyes. But he didn't say anything else and just ran faster until they were out of the center of the camp. Xuan Tianming then picked up a horse and pulled Feng Yu Heng to ride with him. They quickly rushed to the back of the mountain.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan, who were originally following at the back, immediately found a horse to chase after them. However, they tactfully fell behind the two men by a short distance.
The two of them rode to shake off the people following them. Feng Yu Heng took out a medicine box from her storage space and held it in her hands. She felt that she was responsible for the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion getting injured. After all, she had only trained with the soldiers for less than two days before leaving them to practice on their own. She was really forcing them to do what they were told. However, at this critical juncture, she was about to leave the capital for her fief. She wanted to stay in the barracks and teach them hands-on for a few more days. That way, the soldiers wouldn't get injured while trying to figure things out on their own. His face was covered in blood, so it definitely wasn't an injury caused by a gun. Was it a grenade or a landmine? How many people were there when the explosion happened? The military doctor said that there was no way to treat him. Just how serious were his injuries?
She felt a deep sense of self-blame. This feeling infected Xuan Tianming. He hugged her tightly from behind and said, "Don't be like this. This isn't your fault. As soldiers who fight in wars, they're already mentally prepared for this. Their lives are in the hands of the barracks. "
"But if I could teach them a few more times, they wouldn't have made this kind of mistake."
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the back of the mountain. Seeing them arrive, people immediately surrounded them. Xi Fang was the first to kneel in front of the horse and beg for forgiveness, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, this is all this subordinate's mistake. This subordinate is willing to accept punishment!"
The two of them dismounted from the horse. Feng Yu Heng personally helped him up and told him, "No one can be blamed for this. That kind of thing is extremely dangerous. Thinking back to when I first came into contact with it, I wasn't any better than you." Her words were vague, but what she meant was that when this kind of thing first appeared, there were more than one or two people who died in the experiment. "Where are they?" She walked forward quickly and saw a group of people walking in a circle in front of her.
Xi Fang pointed forward, "They're right there." At this time, there were already soldiers who rushed into the crowd and shouted for them to disperse so that Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming could enter. The military doctors who accompanied the army were also doing their best to treat the wounded, but they were all shaking their heads as they treated them.
The injuries were too serious. Some people's legs were almost blown off, and only a bit of muscle was left. It looked very scary. There were also people who had half of their faces blown off. It was like they were wearing a ghost mask, their flesh and blood a mess. Even if it was a light injury, the explosion had blown up their buttocks. Fortunately, their bones were not injured.
Feng Yu Heng walked closer to take a look, and her heart skipped a beat. This was especially true for some of the soldiers who were already on the verge of death. Their consciousness was in a daze and they looked like they would stop breathing at any moment. She looked carefully and found that they were all members of the Bullseye Unit and not the Phecda Unit.
But no matter which unit they were, these were soldiers that she had personally trained! How could she not feel heartache! Xi Fang knelt on the side and explained what had happened. It turned out that the Phecda Unit had finished researching a new array last night and had buried the landmines that Feng Yu Heng had left behind as an experiment. The experiment was very successful, but they did not expect that one of the landmines had not exploded. The people who went to count the area had made a mistake and thought that all of them had been blown up, so they did not pay much attention to it. But they did not expect that when the Bullseye Unit was practicing group combat today, a small team of ten people had walked into the area where the landmines were being tested. They really did not step on any landmines, but a rock rolled down from the hillside and hit the landmine that had not exploded. With a "boom", the small team of ten people was blown to pieces.
Xi Fang said, "This was all caused by this subordinate's mistake. This subordinate should pay for the lives of these brothers. Wang Ye, Wang Fei, this subordinate has no complaints."
On the other side, He Gan also knelt down, but he did not know what to say. His own soldiers were lying on the ground in pain, waiting for death, while he, the deputy general, did not have any skills. He did not know how to save them at all. How could he not be sad? It was said that men did not cry easily, but right now, he could not stop the tears from falling. He could not wipe them away no matter how hard he tried. Although soldiers had a certain awareness of life and death, if this happened on the battlefield, then it was understandable. But right now, they had been injured in front of their own home. What was this?
One of them was crying and the other was admitting his crime. It made Feng Yu Heng feel very irritated. She decided to ignore the two of them and walked towards the wounded soldiers. Some people saw her and hope appeared in their eyes. There were even people who reached out a hand to her. Their mouths were shouting something, but their voices could not be heard clearly.
Feng Yu Heng's heart tightened and she immediately ordered the soldiers around her: "Don't just stand around and watch. Go find tents and set them up here. At least two tents, each one can hold five people." When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately went to carry it out. Feng Yu Heng then ordered the military doctors: "Use scissors to cut open the clothing of the wounded and take it off. Don't worry about whether it's cold or not. Take it off first." After she finished speaking, she did not look in this direction. Instead, she turned around and rushed towards Xi Fang and He Gan. She loudly said: "If you have the time to admit your guilt and suffer, why don't you think about how to save them? How to save the lives of these brothers!"
He Gan's eyes lit up, "They can save their lives?"
Feng Yu Heng did not reply, only saying: "I will try my best." She then raised her head slightly and shouted: "Ban Zou! Come out! " As her voice fell, a figure flashed in front of her. Ban Zou appeared. She then said: "Immediately return to the capital and bring my maternal grandfather, Yao Xian, here. Quickly!"
Ban Zou knew that the situation was urgent. Without another word, his figure flickered and disappeared.
Xuan Tianming also walked forward. He patted her shoulder and said in a small voice: "Don't panic. Maintaining your calm is the most important thing. I can't help you with treating the wounded and saving people, but something has happened here. The forward barracks must have been destroyed as well. I need to go over there. Can you stay here?"
She nodded. "Don't worry. The rest is just a matter of treatment. I can handle it. When maternal grandfather arrives, he will have help. It will be easier to handle. I must save the lives of these soldiers. And him … "She pointed at Xi Fang." Although he made a mistake, it will be difficult for me to escape blame. Your military law … "
"In the Divine Arms Battalion, you have the final say." Xuan Tianming waved his hand. He had no intention of interfering with the internal affairs of the Divine Arms Battalion. In general, Xi Fang had to take responsibility for this incident. However, the current situation was a matter of using people. He was well aware of how important the Divine Arms Battalion was. He did not want to cause any more trouble at this time.
Feng Yu Heng let out a sigh of relief. She only said softly: "Thank you." Then she turned around and did not look at him anymore. She threw herself into treating the wounded soldiers.
Xuan Tianming knew that his wife was trying to snatch people away from the King of Hell, so he did not stay for long. Before he left, he said to Xi Fang: "Atoning for your crimes through meritorious service is what you should be doing. You should not be here blindly begging for forgiveness. Even if you have committed a capital offense, this death should be for I on the battlefield and not in our main barracks. Do you understand? "
Xi Fang did not say anything. He only kowtowed three times to Xuan Tianming. When Xuan Tianming left, he kowtowed once more to He Gan. The two of them looked at each other. He Gan's gaze was also filled with determination. He took the initiative to say to Xi Fang: "The Prince is right. We cannot be dejected in the barracks. Instead, we need to take revenge for our brothers on the battlefield!"
The two of them stood up and saw that the soldiers had also brought over the tools to set up the tents. Therefore, all of them participated in setting up the medical tents. Soon, two large tents were set up. They also helped the military doctors carry the wounded into the tents.
Feng Yu Heng ordered: "Carry the lightly wounded to the left tent. The heavily wounded to the right tent." Seeing that everyone had followed his instructions, he then instructed the military doctors, "You guys wait outside. I'll call you in when I'm done with the preparations." After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the tent, leaving the soldiers outside.
Everyone knew that Feng Yu Heng was very careful when he was doing his examination. Therefore, they only stood guard outside the tent. No one said anything. It was not until Feng Yu Heng finished setting up the two tents that he called for the people to enter the right tent for the heavily wounded. When the military doctors entered, they were stunned. When did so many medical tools come out?
