Chapter 126 Where are the reinforcements?
Although their movements were restricted, the Yun mother and daughter were still able to wander around the inn, and naturally saw a large number of wounded being moved into the inn's lobby.
Even though Yun Qingjin knew that she would win this battle, she did not realize how bloody the so-called victory was.
"Mom, should we go help them? We're free right now anyway. Maybe we can even go and find out more information. Since these people are retired from the front lines, we should be able to know a lot of things in advance."
Yun Yuke nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The mother and daughter approached the proprietress and expressed their thoughts.
The two of them hadn't left the inn for the past few days, trying to find out news from the outside world, relying entirely on Yun Yuke's divine sense.
So to outsiders, this mother and daughter were nothing more than an innocent and pitiful ordinary mother and daughter.
The proprietress agreed to their request almost without hesitation.
"Thank you for your help, but the military has high requirements. They don't allow strangers to handle things like bandaging wounds. You can stay in the kitchen for now. We need to keep boiling water every day, and it's great that you're willing to help."
Since they were there to help anyway, and didn't care what they could do, the mother and daughter didn't complain and just got to work.
After waiting for about three days, the innkeeper and his wife seemed to have come to believe Yun Yuke and Yun Qingjin.
Previously, the two could only tend to the stove in the back kitchen, but now they have gained trust and can go directly to the main hall.
After they had some free time, they chatted about the situation on the battlefield.
"Hey, what's going on in Uro? The two countries have been at peace for so long, why did they suddenly start fighting?" Yun Yuke asked, seeing that the time was right.
"How would we know? Alas, the soldiers on both sides are pitiful." The proprietress said sadly as she washed the used gauze.
"Boss lady, don't be sad. We're going to fight the enemy. Uro has sent far more people than we have here. Let's keep them trapped on the front lines and not let them get any closer!"
The injured young player didn't seem to have any problems. Although he still had many wounds, he looked quite energetic and excited.
"We killed quite a few enemies this time! My captain said he'll give us a lot of silver later, so our family can buy land!"
The Yun mother and daughter remained silent, simply listening quietly to what the soldiers were saying.
"It's good that you're alive!" The landlady pushed him back down. "The doctor said that all these wounds on your body are no joke. If you don't rest properly, you'll definitely die!"
"The number of wounded has been increasing these past few days, and I estimate the situation at the front..."
"Boss lady, you can't say so many unlucky things!" The other injured people in the lobby didn't want to hear these words.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything, but all of you shut up! Lie down and recover. Now that you've been assigned to our inn, you should all take good care of yourselves!"
Despite the large number of injured people in the inn, the atmosphere here wasn't particularly somber.
However, the war did not go as smoothly as everyone had hoped. Even though the Cangnan army was brave and skilled in battle, the number of casualties they suffered was not negligible.
The number of injured people in the entire Cangnan town is increasing.
Some of the lightly wounded in the inn also had to return to the battlefield.
The Yun mother and daughter had seen many wounded soldiers in the past few days, and both were somewhat downcast. Seeing soldiers with bleeding wounds forced to return to the battlefield only worsened their mood.
The two discussed the situation when they returned to their room to rest that evening.
Especially since the war has been going on for seven or eight days, no one has come to our aid.
"Mother, before we came, didn't someone send that flying caravan to Changgan City? Now that the war has started, why haven't they come yet?"
"Hmph, I guess someone just wants to let the Cangnan army fight first, and after they suffer losses, they can easily win. Bah, those scheming bastards."
Yun Yuke was still thinking about the Marquis of Changxing who had brought the troops. Based on her stereotype of the Marquis of Changxing, Yun Yuke could easily suspect that the reason why he hadn't sent reinforcements was hard to say.
They probably already knew about it, but they just didn't come to the rescue. They were probably planning to use the flying caravan to intimidate the enemy and win directly.
The next day, some of the lightly wounded were packing up and preparing to return to the front lines.
However, the wounded man who was about to go to the front line had only just begun to heal.
"Is the war going badly? Then...why isn't anyone coming to our aid?"
Yun Qingjin watched as the lightly wounded patients returned to the battlefield, and without considering the consequences, she spoke directly.
"Qingqing! Don't talk nonsense!"
"But nobody is helping us!" Yun Qingjin said, her voice trembling with tears.
At first, Yun Qingjin only wanted to find out more information, but after seeing this situation with her own eyes, she couldn't contain her grief.
"Little sister, you're a good person! But, to be honest, when it comes to fighting a war, we can't rely on others. If we waited for others to help us, we would have died long ago."
The injured man, still lying on the ground, answered Yun Qingjin's questions.
At the same time, there was a commotion outside.
Judging from the noise, it shouldn't be the sound of transporting the wounded.
Everyone inside looked out and saw what seemed like a lively celebration, dispelling the gloom.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
At the same time, someone else came to deliver the message.
"Minorly wounded soldiers do not need to return to their units! Reinforcements have arrived! We will notify you of the return time later!"
The lightly wounded soldiers, who had originally planned to leave, were somewhat annoyed, but if the war could be won, they seemed to have little to say.
The arrival of reinforcements does indeed seem to have directly propelled the rapid changes in the battle situation.
The day after the reinforcements arrived, a huge roaring sound was heard over Cangnan Town.
Everyone saw five flying cars roar past in the sky.
On the third day, everyone saw a raging fire burning over the camp where the Uro army was stationed.
"You guys don't know! The flying vehicle flew straight over and landed several burning objects! It burned down more than half of the camp!"
"The flying team is amazing!"
The Yun mother and daughter also listened to these words. Although it was a good thing that the war had taken a huge turn for the better, there was still some dejection in the eyes of the wounded soldiers.
"Little sister, we just said we wouldn't rely on reinforcements, but we still have to now. Hahaha, that's fine, let's stop the fuss and get a victory sooner so we can have peace of mind."
The arrival of the flying car team directly impacted the dire situation in Cangnan Town.
The Wuluo side launched attacks for days, and the Cangnan army almost couldn't get through.
Now that things have calmed down a bit on the Wuluo side, Cangnan has been able to regroup.
Accompanying the flying car team were Xie Changyuan, the Marquis of Changxing, who led the ground troops, his deputy Gu Tinghui, as well as Zhu Ling and Xing Xiaoyu.
On their first day in town, Yun Qingjin was allowed to leave the inn and enter the city as reinforcements were stationed at the gate.
Zhu and Xing immediately spotted Yun Qingjin by the roadside.
The three saw each other, but did not rush to meet.
Yun Qingjin pointed to the inn behind her, indicating her location.
After the reinforcements settled in, Xing Xiaoyu found an inn.
Xing Xiaoyu's excuse was simple: she said she knew the Yun mother and daughter and took them away.
"Sister Yun, we're so sorry, we really didn't expect Uro to attack so directly. If we had known, we wouldn't have let you come."
Zhu Ling took the person over and apologized.
"It's nothing. What brings you here? Wasn't it said that Cangnan was keeping the news under wraps?"
"We did receive the news only three days ago," Xing Xiaoyu said helplessly.
“Someone ambushed the Cangnan army’s messengers on the road, which delayed us for several days. We didn’t know about the battle report until the second batch of messengers arrived.”
"Who is it?" the mother and daughter asked at the same time.
"I don't know, and there's something bad going on." Zhu Ling's eyes were filled with worry.
"When Marquis Changxing arrived with his flying caravan, he was actually bringing a large amount of grain. However, this batch of grain was burned."
