General Guan frowned deeply. He had never seen the live broadcast of later generations at the border, but he had heard of it when he came here. It seemed that this thing was called a cannon?
He once defeated the 50,000 soldiers led by Guan Pei and forced them to flee in panic.
But I heard that this thing has a distance limit and can't be fired too far.
But General Guan wanted to win the battle quickly and decisively, and wanted to capture the plague city in one fell swoop, and then rush to the border to defend against the Huns without stopping, for fear that something might happen if he was late.
The deputy general said: "General, I have heard of this thing. It is powerful, but has many limitations. We can crush it with numbers."
"There's no one guarding the border right now, and I'm really worried."
"Let's make a quick decision."
General Guan did not say a word, and the army behind him stood still like statues.
General Guan looked at the cannon, then looked in the direction of the city wall. He wondered how many of those sparks from the sky the princess still had.
With General Guan's experienced eyes, he could of course guess that although this thing had amazing combat effectiveness, it was expensive to make, and the princess probably couldn't use it all.
As long as we can withstand these two waves of attacks, taking the Plague City will become much easier.
However, these soldiers behind him were men who had fought bloody battles with him, and he could not use the blood and sweat of these men to fight against such cold-blooded weapons.
He couldn't exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people for a plague city!
These people should not die on their own territory. Even if they have to die, they should die on the border. This is the right death!
"Today is not a good time to attack the city. Take all the wounded and dead soldiers and retreat."
"Follow my command and retreat immediately!"
"Set up camp ten miles away!"
At General Guan's command, the entire army immediately evacuated with the wounded in an orderly manner. They did not abandon any of their compatriots, not even a corpse!
Seeing the army retreat, the eldest princess, Zhou Qichen, and General Qin all breathed a sigh of relief.
General Guan believed that all his men were heroes who defended their country. Even though the two sides had different positions, the princess did not want this group of fierce and powerful troops to suffer too much damage.
The eldest princess has great respect for these heroes who have been stationed on the border all year round.
Seeing that General Qin had returned to the city, the princess was silent for a few seconds before speaking to Zhou Qichen, "Burns caused by ammunition require special herbs."
"Qi Chen, you should personally lead the women's medical team to General Guan's camp to deliver medicine."
"Given General Guan's love for his soldiers, he won't make things difficult for you."
Zhou Qichen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the princess in disbelief, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a few seconds, he couldn't suppress his inner thoughts and asked bluntly:
"Princess, we have different positions. Although they are respectable, I have also considered saving these soldiers."
"We can go to their military camp, just in case..."
In case of being detained.
Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
The princess looked into the distance and smiled, "No, General Guan is not so stingy as to detain a group of female doctors."
"I trust him as a person."
"Besides, the matter has not yet come to an end. Who knows whether it is an enemy or a friend?"
"Perhaps, I think we can cooperate with General Guan and bring more healing medicine. We can't let these heroes die in our internal strife!"
The eldest princess could fight her way to Kyoto without any burden, and could show no mercy to the imperial guards.
But facing this group of heroes who have spent their entire lives guarding the border and have been away from home for decades, she really can't be so ruthless!
After Zhou Qichen made countless preparations in his mind, he finally brought hundreds of female guards and came to the camp where General Guan was stationed with trepidation.
"Go tell General Guan that I'm here to catch up with him!"
"These are female doctors. They are very experienced in treating gunpowder blast wounds."
The reason why Zhou Qichen did not mention the eldest princess's name was because sending a female doctor to treat the patient in the name of the eldest princess would be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
But he also believed that General Guan was not such a sinister person.
At this moment, General Guan was extremely anxious about the wounded soldiers. His doctors reported that the gunpowder needed special medicine to clean, otherwise it would cause inflammation and infection if not cleaned properly.
The doctors had no solution.
Just at this time, Zhou Qichen happened to come to the door.
When General Guan heard this, he was so angry that his eyes turned red: "What does this Zhou guy mean? We are enemies, and he brought a group of ghost female doctors to treat us!"
"Is he crazy?"
"He's putting me in a dilemma!"
The deputy general lowered his voice and said, "General, we have 300 seriously injured people, and more than 2,000 people have been injured by gunpowder. The doctor said that gunpowder is very easy to get infected, and if you are not careful, it will cause inflammation and death."
General Guan: "But Zhou is on the princess' side! He's trying to provoke me!"
The deputy general said cautiously, "But our brothers will die if they get infected. Listen to the screams in the camp. I estimate that half of them will be dead in seven days."
General Guan: “…”
The deputy general said: "The main reason is that the gunpowder is special. Our doctors really can't do anything. We can't just watch our brothers die of fever and anger, right?"
General Guan said sullenly, "That's not what I meant."
"And who are you?"
"Why didn't that idiot Zhou come quietly? At the very least, couldn't he come at night? Why is he doing this so openly? I really fucking owe him this. Let him get in here and get treated!"
After receiving General Guan's order.
Zhou Qichen asked the female doctor to treat the soldiers who were injured in the explosion under the pretext of reminiscing about the past.
Everyone came in.
It’s all cured.
I also took the blame.
General Guan was speechless.
With a stern face, he invited dozens of generals to join him as they drank, grilled, and chatted outside: "Shouldn't we be aboveboard? Then be even more aboveboard!"
He, whose surname is Guan, does not feel guilty at all.
Not far from where they gathered, a group of medical ladies were walking in the military camp.
Many soldiers' eyes were on the female doctor.
They were wearing simple men's clothes and each of them was holding a wooden box in their hands. When they opened the box, they found various medicines and gauze inside. They bandaged the injured soldiers with skillful techniques.
Originally, the soldiers were skeptical about the female doctors, but after seeing how skillfully they bandaged the patients, some of their doubts were dispelled.
But there are still some people who want to see how strong these female doctors can be, and they gather together to deliberately play a trick on them.
"Lao Zhang, let's make a bet. Do you think they'll cry when they see even more bloody mutilated limbs and arms?"
"Needless to say, they would have screamed, fainted, and run away in fear."
"I guess so. Hehe, if hundreds of women fainted at the same time, it would be a spectacular scene."
"Then let's make a bet and see how many of them can hold on to?"
A dozen soldiers laughed maliciously.
They had experienced dozens of battles, big and small, and their bodies were covered with hideous wounds. Some people's wounds even festered, and in this hot and humid weather, maggots even grew on them.
