As the western city gate collapsed with a crash, soldiers spurred their horses and rushed out of the camp to the nearest main camp to report the battle situation.
At that time, Song Yanqing sent two teams of men out of the city.
A group of people went to search for Ajitai's whereabouts. Ajitai was seriously injured and hurriedly fled the battlefield, so he probably couldn't have gone too far.
If we can obtain Ajitai's head and dampen the morale of the Tatar army, then the Great Jin Dynasty can surely enjoy a peaceful winter and even the following spring.
Another group of people went to the battlefield to search for war drums made from General Feng's leather bag.
The Tatar army was in a hurry to retreat and didn't have time to think about much else. Whether it was human skin drums or battle robes, nothing was more important than escaping for their lives.
Therefore, Song Yanqing ordered people to go out and search for him, which can be considered a consolation for General Feng's lifelong struggle on the battlefield, his great achievements, and for his descendants to pay tribute to him after his death.
Let the loyal souls return to their hometowns. General Feng fought for many years and died on the battlefield. He should not end up with his bones becoming someone else's spoils of war!
Song Yanqing stood on the city wall, his face and body covered in blood, making it impossible to tell whether it was the enemy's blood or the blood from his own wounds.
Lu Qiqi instructed Shijiu to bring the doctors from the wounded soldiers' camp to the city gate to treat the wounded soldiers.
When she climbed the city wall, she saw Song Yanqing covered in blood.
At that moment, she wasn't thinking about whether he was injured, but rather that seeing him standing alive and well in front of her made her feel as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
She walked up to Song Yanqing and examined his wounds.
To save time, Song Yanqing made no attempt to hide anything, directly opening his clothes to reveal his well-defined eight-pack abs.
There is a ten-centimeter-long scar on my abs. The wound is not very deep and does not require stitches. It is bleeding and will soon scab over.
Lu Qiqi thought to herself, "Luckily I'm wearing armor, otherwise my intestines would probably fall out if that knife had hit me."
She then applied the spiritual spring water to her abs, followed by some ointment.
The battle came too quickly, and there was no time to prepare many things. At this moment, Lu Qiqi couldn't find any cotton swabs, so she scraped some ointment with her fingers and applied it to his abdomen.
As his fingertips touched her skin, Song Yan let out a cold hiss.
He didn't know if it was the burning sensation from the ointment or the icy coolness of Lu Qiqi's fingertips that made him shudder.
He made very soft noises. All around him were the sounds of soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, their footsteps clattering, and the clanging of weapons being picked up.
Lu Qiqi was focused and carefully applied ointment to the wound, unaware of the sounds he was making from his throat.
However, seeing his heaving chest, she feared he might get frostbite from the cold winter weather, so she quickly gave him some medicine and then wrapped his chest in gauze.
After doing all that, Lu Qiqi looked into Song Yanqing's eyes and asked, "Where else is he injured?"
Song Yanqing shook her head, indicating that she did not.
It wasn't until Lu Qiqi put away the medicine bottles and stopped looking at him that he felt the cold wind and pulled his clothes tighter around himself.
There were many things to deal with after the war.
The Eastern Camp has just reported that the Tatar army of 30,000 has failed to set foot on the city walls.
The general leading the Tatar army had his arm severed by Lu Da's broadsword, and his fate remains unknown.
After treating Song Yanqing's wounds, Lu Qiqi did not leave.
Both the Eastern Camp and the Main Camp won victories, but there was still no news from the Western Camp.
As the drums sounded to signal the end of the campaign, Song Yanqing had already sent men to support the western camp and check on the situation there. He expected news to arrive soon.
Just as the two were walking down the city wall, they heard a report from the Shadow Guard.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, Tadar has led 50,000 elite troops to attack Ximen."
After the west gate fell, General Qin disappeared without a trace.
When we arrived at the West Gate, most of the Tatar army had already withdrawn, and the rest had all been captured.
Qin Shiyu has disappeared?
A general led his troops into battle, and the only survivors were found alive or dead.
Therefore, with the West Camp city gate breached and Qin Shiyu missing, there are only two possible outcomes.
She was either captured by the Tartars or died somewhere in battle.
Neither of these two possible outcomes is good news.
Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling.
A moment later, Song Yanqing said to the Shadow Guards, "Take men to search every corner of the Western Camp, and send another team to investigate Tadar's whereabouts."
The two guessed the same thing. After the Shadow Guards left, Lu Qiqi said, "Open the city gates and let me go rescue General Qin."
Song Yanqing understood Lu Qiqi's plan. At this time, the war had just ended, the West Camp city gate had just been recaptured, and the garrison commander was nowhere to be found.
At this time, the western camp must have been in complete chaos, and many things in the army depended on his decisions.
Furthermore, who could have guessed what Tadar's intentions were in rashly withdrawing his troops from the western camp?
Misleading the public?
Or should we regroup the army and fight another battle?
If Qin Shiyu's disappearance is part of his scheme, then we must not let him succeed.
Song Yanqing said, "I'll have An Yi bring Ta Yun over, and you can ride it out of the city."
Lu Qiqi didn't intend to stay here. She said, "No need. Tayun will follow you into battle. Let it rest for a while."
There were also Tartar horses in the space; given the slippery winter snow, Tartar horses would likely be more adapted.
Song Yanqing thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he personally saw Lu Qiqi off.
She was seen wearing a red cloak, riding her horse at full speed out of the city gate.
The red robe billowed and swayed in the wind, gradually receding into the distance until it disappeared from sight.
Only after a long, drawn-out sound came from below the city gate, and the city gate was slammed shut.
To be honest, Lu Qiqi's decision to ride her steed out of the city was a miscalculation.
After enjoying a few good days in the space, the horse not only slipped on the cold, snowy grassland, but also started to tremble.
Lu Qiqi almost broke the whip, but the horse didn't move an inch.
This is infuriating!
She dismounted and instantly stored the horse in her spatial storage.
Then, she released Xiao Ye, who was snoring in the space.
Tigers have thick fur and are not afraid of the cold in the snowy winter.
Lu Qiqi hastily tied a red ribbon under its forelegs, then whispered a few words in its ear before riding it across the grassland.
A woman and a tiger walked on the snow-white ground. Before long, they passed through a forest and saw several wolves gathering around them.
The Tartar horses stopped because they sensed danger ahead.
Wolves in winter are even less likely to disperse and act in groups.
Lu Qiqi had a bad feeling in her heart!
Soon, the wolf pack that gathered around confirmed her suspicions.
Lu Qiqi couldn't help but curse.
What incredible luck she had to walk into the lion's den!
Then, she poked Xiao Ye's head and muttered, "King of Beasts, my foot!"
The wolves are right in front of you, and you don't even know it!
Xiao Ye shook her round head, ignoring Lu Qiqi's accusations, and even took steps toward the wolf pack.
