Tiger Guards

Chapter 27: Concentrating the Mind and Nourishing the Qi
The battle gradually ended, and wailing could be heard throughout the camp.

For a moment, everywhere was filled with soldiers cutting off heads, and scenes of quarreling, pushing, and indignant cursing were everywhere.

However, when Zhao Ji was walking in the camp, the noise of quarreling subsided a lot when he saw him coming.

Yang Ji, holding a head, leaped quickly from among the corpses and came to Zhao Ji: "Captain, this is the little Xiongnu prince, who was killed by your spear."

Zhao Ji had no impression of the other person. He couldn't even see the other person's face clearly under the firelight. He just felt that the bloody and black face was similar to Yang Ji's bloody face.

The way Yang Ji grinned and his eyes glowed was even scarier than the head he held in his hands.

Zhao Ji just nodded, and Yang Ji said, "I will help the captain collect the heads right away."

"Good work."

"Yes!"

Yang Ji immediately handed the bloody head to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was able to catch it. Then he saw Yang Ji calling on the villagers and searching with torches.

Most of the Huns killed by Zhao Ji were lying dead in the middle of the passage between the east and west camps, while most of the Huns killed by the guards in the camp were on both sides of the passage.

At the same time, the Huns killed by Zhao Ji also had obvious characteristics.

Seeing people everywhere, Zhao Ji came to the Wenxi team and saw several wounded soldiers lying on the haystack gasping for breath. He threw the head away. The head rolled and stopped not far from Guanqiu Xing's feet.

Guanqiu Xing jumped back and asked, "Aji, is this for me?"

"If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Ji turned to look at the wounded and asked, "Ah Xing, organize the men and transport the wounded to Jia Liangdao."

Guanqiu Xing lifted the head from the ground, looked at Zhao Ji seriously, and asked, "Aji, I just heard it. This is the head of a little Xiongnu prince. Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Here you go, go do something."

"Hey!"

Guanqiu Xing took off his cloak, wrapped the little prince's head, tied it around his waist, and immediately went to look for idle people.

Zhao Ji came to Hu Ban's barracks. The thatch on the roof had already burned out, and only a few wooden rafters were still burning, which could be blown out by the wind at any time.

There was a bed in Hu Ban's barracks, as well as a few unopened jars of wine that he had bought yesterday.

Zhao Ji couldn't find any cold boiled water, so he could only open a jar of wine. He wiped the dust off the bowl, poured some wine in, and drank it in small sips.

"I thought Aji didn't drink."

Pei Xiu's voice came from the door. Zhao Ji turned his head and saw Pei Xiu holding a torch in one hand and holding Guan Shang with the other.

Guan Shang covered the back of his neck with one hand and grabbed his hair with the other, holding up a head.

Zhao Ji looked at Guan Shang: "A Shang?"

Guan Shang forced a smile back: "I was hit by two arrows, and my skin was broken."

Zhao Ji nodded, turned around and cleared the dust, ashes, and grass clippings from the bed. "You lie down first. I'll go discuss the treatment of the wounded with Jia Kui."

Pei Xiu helped Guan Shang sit down and said, "Hu Bingcao and the county soldiers are guarding the prisoners. Wang Zhi has sent people to the city gates to knock. Even if they can't summon a doctor, they can still get some medicine after daybreak."

"We can't wait for others to rescue us. Jia Kui is the warehouse officer, he has to worry about this matter."

Zhao Ji drank half a bowl of wine and handed the bowl to Pei Xiu: "Seventh brother, drink some too. Ah Shang is injured, don't let him drink."

"Well, Aji, go find Jia Kui."

Zhao Ji nodded, rubbed the dried blood on his face, turned around and walked out. Shen Tulan couldn't help but stand up straight when he passed by.

After Zhao Ji left, Shen Tulan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the bed: "Seventh Brother, Aji killed at least thirty people tonight."

"I can't stop watching."

Although Pei Xiu did not participate in the battle, he felt extremely tired after his extreme excitement subsided.

After helping Guan Shang lie down sideways, Pei Xiu also found a comfortable position. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

When Zhao Ji walked out of the camp, he saw Yang Ji arguing with several people. When he walked over, he saw that they were fighting over the head of a Xiongnu knight who had been shot to death.

Yang Ji pointed at the man's throat, which was almost pierced through. "This is the person shot by General Zhao Tun! Who else could have shot him except General Zhao Tun? You shot him in the shoulder and side. Look, it didn't even penetrate the leather jacket!"

When Yang Ji saw Zhao Ji, he immediately shouted, "Captain, come and see, did you shoot him?"

"Captain Zhao!"

The two Tiger Guards who had come to fight for the heads were a little uneasy, their heads lowered. Zhao Ji stepped forward, glanced down at the corpses, and said to Yang Ji, "Without the harassment and shooting of my comrades, I would hardly have achieved such a victory. Don't take the bodies of those who died from arrows; share them with your comrades who assisted in the battle."

"Captain, how can this be possible?"

"Why can't this be done? I'm very tired. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

Zhao Ji stepped forward and plucked the bright pheasant feathers from the other's helmet, but then felt it was a bit tacky and brushed it off casually: "That's it."

Seeing that the two Tiger Guards were unwilling to take action, Zhao Ji said, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. The garrison troops will definitely arrive after daybreak. If they take away the land, you will be the ones who suffer the loss."

"Cut it quickly, I'll find something else."

After saying this, Yang Ji turned and left, and Zhao Ji also turned around to look for Jia Kui.

In the Xiangling team camp, Jia Kui was sitting cross-legged by the campfire, picking up the black ashes from a freshly burned bundle of grass and treating the wounds of a wounded Tiger Guard.

The injury of this Tiger Guard was not serious, there was just a cut on the back of his hand.

The wrists and arms had been tied with cowhide ropes. A county soldier used well water to clean the wound on the back of the other person's hand, and then sutured the wound with needle and thread.

Then apply a layer of wood ash on the surface and then bandage it.

Wood ash can cause erosion and burning sensation on wounds. The injured Tiger Guard bit the wood ash in his mouth and broke out in a sweat.

After the wound was bandaged, Jia Kui began to untie the leather ropes on the man's arms and wrists.

Seeing Zhao Ji coming over, Jia Kui finished his work and then came over: "Aji, have you learned how to treat knife and arrow wounds in Jishan?"

When Zhao Ji didn't respond, Jia Kui explained, "When the Baibo generals first came to the throne, they forcibly conscripted all the doctors from the counties. Now, although the Hu Ben soldiers from each county have brought medicine, few of them have ever treated a wound caused by a wound."

"I want some empty wine jars."

Zhao Ji looked around and saw Guanqiu Xing bringing in another batch of wounded soldiers. He said, "The wounds of the injured comrades must be cleaned and the minor injuries treated first. I will go to make some wine and treat the serious injuries when I come back."

Zhao Ji turned to leave, but stopped and said to Jia Kui, "Gather some empty wine jars, cloth, and bamboo and send them to my team."

"it is good."

Jia Kui grabbed a county soldier who was passing by and began to give him instructions.

Zhao Ji hurried back to the Wenxi team, but he felt his steps were weak and he was out of breath along the way.

When he came to the barracks across the street, he saw Pei Xiu had fallen asleep, so he said to Shen Tulan, "Alan, help me move the wine outside."

After giving some instructions, he turned to the roadside and said to a dozen resting Tiger Guards, "I want to build a stove. Go find some stones and mud."

A Tiger Guard said, "Captain, there is a kitchen and a stove at Wang Sima's place."

"Well, go help Alan move the wine."

Zhao Ji turned around and saw a dozen people carrying empty wine jars, silk cloth, and two bundles of bamboo walking towards him. He said, "Follow me to the kitchen."

There is a kitchen next to the training ground area that is dedicated to providing food for military officers. There are no big iron pots here, it just makes it more convenient to cook ingredients.

We can only hope that the wine jar won't be burned or exploded. Anyway, wine jars are very durable and can withstand it as long as they are not burned by a strong fire.

Under Zhao Ji's command, two jars of wine were placed on the stove. Zhao Ji immediately pulled out a dagger and drilled a hole in the empty wine jar. After drilling a hole, he split the bamboo that Huben had used to pierce the joints diagonally, wrapped it with a layer of coarse silk and stuffed it into the hole in the wine jar with the oblique side facing upwards.

After demonstrating, he asked the other Tiger Guards to drill holes and insert bamboo.

This is local bamboo. It is not as thick as the bamboo in the south, about the thickness of a thumb.

Without good distillation equipment, we can only make do with this.

Soon, two empty wine jars were turned upside down on top of it, and the other end of the extension was inserted into the small wine jar with a hole in it, which was filled with some wine.

They also wrapped more than ten layers of coarse silk around the bamboo poles and let the tiger guards pour water on them.

Then he sat aside, breathing heavily and recovering his strength.

Only then did he have time to look at his hands. They were both covered in blood. The bloodstains had dried and some had fallen off.

There is a totem in each hand, which can cut through all obstacles and achieve perfection, increasing damage by 64%; concentrating the mind and nourishing the energy, level one, can increase the recovery of strength by 100%.

Looking at the stove fire, he turned to a fellow villager who was following him and said, "Bring me some food."

To use the new skill, you need to adopt a fixed meditation posture.

But you can't absorb energy from the void, you must eat.
