Chapter 112: Traveling back to ancient times to open a clinic 26: Enemy night attack...

When Gu Jingting said this, he took a big gulp of wine. The spicy liquid choked him and made him cough uncontrollably.

Gu Jingxing stood aside and watched coldly. When he heard Chen Qian's name mentioned in his mouth, his face suddenly turned as cold as frost.

"Gu Jingxing, believe it or not, I actually saw a girl in the military camp today who looked... looked exactly like Shen Qian!" He slammed the table and then leaned over it, "I'm afraid I'm crazy. I actually saw Shen Qian here. I really am crazy. I actually think that Princess Shaoyang, the emperor's daughter, is not as good as the daughter of a county magistrate..."

"That's enough."

Gu Jingxing's voice was as cold and sharp as a knife, which frightened Gu Jingting.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, muttering, "You must be my hallucination too. I must be crazy to see you in my own tent."

Gu Jingxing couldn't listen any longer. The words of a drunk man were of no value at all. However, he finally understood why Gu Jingting suddenly shouted in the middle of the night for a female doctor to treat him. It was probably because he saw Shen Qian wearing a veil in the military camp during the day.

Fortunately, she was wearing a veil, so Gu Jingting didn't recognize her at first glance, but he still made a scene at night.

Gu Jingxing gestured and called the secret guards: "Pay attention to Shen Qian tonight, especially don't let Gu Jingting get close."

"Yes, my lord."

The night was as cold as water, and Gu Jingxing's heart was a little confused, but he knew that he had to stay calm because there was still a tough battle to fight tonight.

Among the Northern Expedition Army, about one-third were from the direct lineage trained by Gu Jingxing himself, known as the Gu Family Army. This army was brave and loyal under Gu Jingxing's training and long-term battles. The Northern Expedition Army suffered such a big defeat this time. Although most of the casualties were not from the Gu Family Army, the Gu Family Army in the barracks were all ready to fight, and they could not let their brothers suffer such a big loss in vain.

That night, dark clouds covered the moon outside the military camp, making it pitch dark without seeing one's hand in front of one's face. The cold wind seemed to carry a hint of blood, and in the darkness, danger seemed to be approaching the camp little by little.

The Wolf Cavalry was famous for their surprise attacks. Although they inflicted heavy damage to the Northern Expedition Army today, they themselves also suffered heavy damage because of Gu Jingxing's circling, and even Tuoba Lie himself was cut on the right shoulder. However, they still decided to launch a night attack tonight because they knew that this was the best time to defeat the Northern Expedition Army. As long as they succeeded tonight, not only would they be able to get rid of Gu Jingxing, the great threat to them, but they would also make China unable to catch its breath for a long time in the future.

At this time, the Wolf Cavalry deliberately suppressed the sound of horse hooves. The soldiers were wrapped in black cloth, and even their weapons were wrapped in black cloth, so as not to alert the soldiers guarding the barracks in advance.

"Quick battle and quick decision, rush into the military camp and kill all the enemy troops!" Tuoba Lie lowered his voice, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

The Wolf Cavalry Army rushed towards the camp of the Northern Expedition Army like a shot arrow.

Unfortunately, this time they were not facing the unprepared Northern Expedition Army, but a carefully laid trap.

Fighting a war is never about relying on brute force. Obviously, both Gu Jingxing and Tuoba Lie understand this. It's a pity that Tuoba Lie's luck was a little bad tonight. He didn't expect that Gu Jingxing could predict his actions tonight.

Just as the Wolf Cavalry quietly approached the camp five hundred steps away, the originally silent earth suddenly became filled with murderous aura.

"put!"

At a command, the crossbows hidden in the darkness were fired, and the arrows broke through the air, like the god of death in the night, ruthlessly penetrating the defense of the Wolf Cavalry.

“Ahhh! Someone’s there!”

"We've been discovered!"

"Everyone be careful!"

The Wolf Cavalry was thrown into chaos in an instant. Although they had been through many battles, this time the enemy had obviously predicted their actions and set a tight net.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Gu family army poured out from all directions like a tide. They were wearing black armor, holding long spears, and moving as fast as lightning.

The front row of soldiers were already on full alert. They manipulated the noose and chevaux de frise to cut off the Wolf Cavalry's route of attack.

Tuoba Lie roared angrily and swung his sword to knock down a Northern Expedition Army soldier who was rushing towards him. Blood gushed out and he looked ferociously at the front of the encirclement.

He understood that in the current situation, the best thing to do was to retreat with the assault team, but after finally getting here, Tuoba Lie felt that although his side had lost the initiative, many of the enemy's soldiers had been seriously injured today. Perhaps their ambush was not so perfect, and there should still be a chance to take advantage of.

At the moment when Tuoba Lie hesitated, the encirclement of the Gu family army had been closed, leaving him no room for regret, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

Chen Qian had just fallen asleep not long ago. She had been busy all day and was exhausted. She was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by Ling Yuan.

"Girl, wake up! There's a night attack from the Wolf Cavalry outside."

Shen Qian suddenly woke up from his sleep and came to the battlefield. The most terrifying thing was to sleep until the enemy attacked in the middle of the night.

Shen Qian was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. This was not the time to sleep, so she quickly sat up and busied herself with getting dressed.

Ling Yuan quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't panic. Our tent is located in the center. The lord has already arranged an ambush, but they haven't broken in yet. We are safe."

As a secret guard, Ling Yuan has seen many scenes that were several times more dangerous than this, and is no longer surprised.

She didn't come in to report the noise immediately after hearing it, but came in to call Chen Qian after seeing the situation clearly outside.

Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still tightened: "... Let's go out and take a look. There must be many soldiers injured in the battle between the two sides. I can always help if I'm here."

"Girl, you've been tired all day. You haven't slept for an hour just now. Can you hold on?"

"No problem."

When Chen Qian first came to this world, this body still had various problems. After more than a year of conditioning, plus previous training from colds and epidemics, she is now fully capable of all kinds of high-intensity treatments.

And there is another crucial point. The ones fighting the enemy outside should be Gu Jingxing and the Gu family army led by him. Her mother and sister have not been found yet, so he cannot be in any danger!

Thinking of this, Chen Qian quickly got up and asked Ling Yuan to call the other maids, and they prepared to go to the barracks.

"Girl, you can't go any further." Shen Qian was stopped by Wu Hen before she had gone far.

"This is the Lord's order. You cannot leave your tent tonight without his permission."

"Wu Hen, don't stop me. I'm a doctor. There are many wounded people now. I can treat them."

Wu Hen did not move aside: "The secret guards guarding nearby tonight have received the same order. You are not allowed to leave. Even if I don't stop you, you can't get through."

"How long are you going to hold out?" Shen Qian asked anxiously.

Wu Hen looked back at the battlefield in the distance. At this time, a large number of Wolf Cavalry soldiers in the encirclement had already fallen. "It shouldn't be long. Girl, you go back first. I'll let Ling Yuan notify you when it's over."

Shen Qian had no choice but to go back to the tent and wait.

However, seeing the fierce fighting outside, she knew that a lot of medicine would be needed for this battle, so she asked several maids to prepare the medicine in advance.

She waited for about half an hour. The noise outside gradually died down. Then, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent. It was Wu Hen's voice: "Miss, Miss, please come out for a moment."

Shen Qian quickly lifted the curtain and walked out.

Wu Hen looked a little panicked at this time: "Girl, go and take a look."

"What's wrong?"

"The Lord is injured in the back. Doctor Liu has examined him and asked you to come over immediately."

Shen Qian's heart sank, and she immediately followed Wu Hen to the main tent where Gu Jingxing was.

Outside the main tent, some senior generals were waiting here. When they saw Wu Hen bringing Shen Qian, they all made way for him.

Shen Qian rushed into the tent and saw Gu Jingxing lying on the bed, dying. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. His armor had been undone, revealing his blood-stained clothes.

His head was facing the entrance. He was still conscious at this moment. When he saw Chen Qian coming in, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Shen Qian's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward, and saw at a glance the arrow deeply embedded in his flesh and blood on his back.

She didn't rush to act, but instead checked the condition of the arrow lodged in her back.

"Tell us quickly, what's going on with this arrow!" Seeing this, Wu Hen quickly asked the personal soldiers around Gu Jingxing to answer.

"When the general was killing Tuoba Lie, who could have imagined that he would fight back before dying, pull out the arrow from his body, and plunge it into the general's back. In fact, the general could have dodged it at that time, but he didn't..."

Shen Qian suddenly raised his head, looked at Gu Jingxing's face, and continued to check the wound.

Gu Jingxing seemed to notice her gaze on him, and said word by word with difficulty: "If we don't kill him, the war will be difficult to end."

Shen Qian's heart trembled slightly.

This person...

She didn't say anything else, but took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We must remove the arrow immediately. If we delay, it might damage our internal organs."

"Go ahead, I trust you." Gu Jingxing's voice was still calm, as if he had only suffered minor injuries.

Today, outside the tent, Gu Jingxing had seen how she treated the wounded. Her skills were superb. According to his experience, many wounded soldiers who were in critical condition were saved by her.

So just now on the battlefield, when Tuoba Lie pulled out the arrow and stabbed him, he did have time to dodge, but he also knew that if he dodged, Tuoba Lie would definitely try his best to escape. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would not allow such a thing to happen. He had already won a big gamble by ambushing Tuoba Lie here today. After this incident, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to catch him again. But once Tuoba Lie was killed, Beiyin Kingdom would lose its most outstanding general in recent decades, and King Beiyin would also lose his most beloved son.

China's borders can be kept safe for at least thirty years, so this arrow was worth it.

Another point is that Gu Jingxing knew that the reason he was willing to take such a big risk was that with Chen Qian there, he still had a chance of survival.

So he said that trusting her was a trust that he could entrust his life to her.
