Chapter 1095 Entering Another World and Encountering War
Chu Chen had expected them to stop, but what happened next showed him their bravery.
They jumped into the river like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers handed out planks of wood, and in no time, hundreds of man-made wooden bridges were erected.
Chu Chen followed the flow of soldiers, crossed the river, and charged straight towards the army on the other side.
Chaos, utter chaos, cannot even describe the scene at this moment.
In battles between two armies, advance is almost always achieved through human combat.
With the spear tucked under his arm, he charged straight toward the enemy.
The opposing side, just like them, were charging in almost the same way.
Chu Chen swung his sword to deflect a spear that was thrusting at him, then stabbed to death someone whose side he didn't know, before rapidly retreating a considerable distance.
"Are you all idiots? This isn't a war, it's a contest of numbers and lives."
Watching wave after wave of people fall, Chu Chen dodged while cursing inwardly.
The battle lasted for about an hour, leaving the battlefield littered with corpses, before finally coming to an end.
Night had fallen.
The enemy on the other side has already been defeated and fled.
Under the cover of darkness, Chu Chen pulled out a set of clothes from the corpses and put them on to cover himself. He then picked up a spear and sat down in a corner.
Since he currently lacks the strength and powerful weapons to launch attacks, he must protect himself.
"My soldiers, we have won a pyrrhic victory in this battle, but to prevent them from launching a counterattack, listen to my order: march at full speed and attack!"
A man who looked like a general brandished his sword and rallied the remaining soldiers, charging directly in the direction the enemy had fled.
Chu Chen cursed "idiot" under his breath, then followed the group further ahead.
They did not rest that night.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Chen's body had been strengthened by so much power from heaven and earth beforehand, this night of forced marching would probably have exhausted him to death.
As dawn broke, Chu Chen and his group arrived at a city.
Chu Chen glanced at the city and found that it was similar to those in Chu Tian Realm and Gamma Realm, with the architectural style being ancient blue bricks and gray tiles.
The city walls were built of piled stones.
Upon seeing this, the general took the lead and headed straight for the city wall defenders.
They carried wooden planks and climbed directly onto the city wall. Perhaps due to insufficient garrison strength, they occupied the entire city in less than half an hour.
Three days later, Chu Chen was placed in a barracks.
Beside him lay an old soldier whose legs had been severed.
Chu Chen's task was to take care of the old soldier's life, essentially giving him, a new recruit, a relatively easy job.
During these three days, Chu Chen only knew that he had arrived in a country called Gu Ning, where they were currently at war with their neighbor, Luo An.
This place is the border town of Gu Ning.
This was also the last city they recaptured. After a fierce attack, they had driven Luo Anguo's army out of Gu Ning and won the war.
The old man, named Pei Yongchang, was an eight-year veteran who was unexpectedly ambushed and lost a leg.
"Uncle Pei, how are you feeling?"
"Chu Chen, Uncle Pei is fine. But you, a greenhorn, to survive this battle, it seems you are destined for great wealth and honor!"
Chu Chen grinned, placed the food he had brought back from the cafeteria aside, and then helped Pei Yongchang sit up: "It's all thanks to everyone's good care, otherwise I would have died long ago!"
"Hehe, you're always so polite."
Pei Yongchang took the food Chu Chen handed him and ate it while speaking in a somewhat mysterious tone.
"Chu Chen, now that the war is won, I reckon there will be troop reductions. Have you decided where you want to go?"
On his very first day here, Chu Chen adopted a persona for himself: an orphan with no parents, a stranger in this world.
"Uncle Pei, I haven't decided yet. I'm all alone, so it doesn't matter where I am!"
Pei Yongchang's eyes darted around after hearing this: "Why don't you come with Uncle Pei? Uncle will take you home to farm, so you won't starve to death!"
Chu Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this.
Right now, I really need to settle down before I can find my way back.
Yes, he had to go back; so many people were waiting for him at home.
Since I was able to arrive in this world unharmed, it means that this world must have an entrance to the void or a connection to another world.
However, it seems that his power of heaven and earth is being suppressed by this world.
If you enter the void, there's a high chance your strength will return instantly.
When the time comes, if one has reached the Saint Realm level of cultivation and can communicate with their personal space, then there will be a chance to find the way back.
Although the hope is slim, one must always have hope, right?
This is the only idea he has right now. As for other methods, Chu Chen has no idea. So after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded.
"Uncle, Chu Chen will listen to you!"
"Haha, good, good, don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You're a good-natured guy. There are plenty of beautiful girls in our village."
"Uncle will find you a woman with a big butt, and you'll have a litter of babies!"
Chu Chen pretended to blush and said, "Uncle, I'm still young!"
You're still a kid! You've lived for over a hundred years! Shameless!
"Alright, alright. I reckon the demobilization order will come down in a few days. Uncle lost his leg, so he definitely can't stay here any longer. And you, a greenhorn, are just being used to make up the numbers temporarily. They're not going to support you!"
Sure enough, it happened on the sixth day after their conversation.
At the main gate of the military camp, Chu Chen, carrying a bag and dressed in ordinary clothes issued by the camp, walked out while supporting a middle-aged man.
"What a damn stingy guy, only eight taels of silver! My leg is only worth eight taels!"
Pei Yongchang glanced indignantly at the military camp behind him, then leaned on his cane and headed straight for the main street outside.
Chu Chen touched the two taels of silver in his pocket and thought to himself, "Damn, they really are stingy."
But he didn't say anything, still feeling happy that this world was so similar to the places he had been before.
A young man and a cripple arrived on the main street and spent half a tael of silver to get an oxcart. Under Pei Yongchang's guidance, they left the center of the border town and headed straight into the mountains.
The next day, Chu Chen saw a small village made up of thatched huts.
Pei Yongchang chuckled and said, "Haha, I'm here, I'm here! My big-hipped wife, I'm here!"
