Chapter 2314 Consensus
The military doctor could only find a piece of cloth to cover General Guo temporarily, and sighed as he looked at General Guo on the other side, whose life or death was still unknown.
This father and son are quite unlucky. How come they got into trouble at the same time?
Bai Shan and Man Bao stood at the intersection and looked towards the city gate, where the shouts of killing were still deafening.
Manbao was silent for a moment and then asked, "What time was it?"
Bai Shan said, "It's just past midnight."
It is the time when people are most soundly asleep.
Manbao: "It's been three hours, and the winner hasn't been decided yet?"
Bai Shan sighed and said, "It's not that easy. I don't ask General Meng to quell the rebellion now. I just want to bring back enough people."
Only in this way will they be able to fight against the rebel army next time.
Just as they were thinking, the faint shouting and fighting seemed to disappear. The two could not help but look at each other. Just as they were about to send someone to check, a horseman came back at a gallop, "General Meng has rescued General Li. There are many wounded soldiers in the army. They have been sent here immediately. You should prepare immediately."
Let the soldiers know the whole camp.
Bai Shan stopped the soldier who was about to return and asked, "Is the war over?"
"The rebel army retreated back into the city, and the gates were closed." He paused and said, "General Meng went in and out three times, bringing out all the people trapped inside."
If you can't bring them out, you'll either die or surrender.
Since they were an isolated army, surrendering was not a shameful thing. They could just fight back and return to the camp. They were very familiar with this kind of thing and it was not a big deal.
Bai Shan let him go, looked at Man Bao, then turned around to arrange the medical tent. All the soldiers and guards began to get busy.
Bai Shan arranged for people to fetch water and find firewood, prepare a fire to boil water for cooking, and provide hot water for the wounded soldiers to wash.
General Guo is now in the medical tent, so obviously no one can enter. Therefore, a new medical tent has to be built. If there are too many wounded, they can be rescued directly from outside.
So medicine is very important at this time. Manbao visited their pharmacy yesterday and had a general impression of the medicines they had available, so he carefully wrote two prescriptions, one for a decoction to stop bleeding, and the other for a decoction to preserve qi and prolong life.
Zhou Liru dragged Liu Huan to get the medicine and started to prepare it now.
Just as they were getting ready, General Li returned with a large army, trailing a group of wounded soldiers.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, everyone pulled the wounded off their horses and carts. Bai Shan immediately rushed over with the guards, pulling them off one by one. "This one is seriously injured, send him to the No. 2 medical tent immediately. Put this one outside, and this one go to the No. 2 medical tent..."
The guards obeyed the order and carried them one by one to where they should be placed.
The military doctor brought his assistants, Man Bao also called some people to follow his orders, and Zhou Liru asked Liu Huan and Bai Erlang to follow his orders.
There's no way, she's not very skilled yet and needs help from someone who's experienced.
Three teams of three got busy.
General Li opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find anyone to ask questions, so he frowned and went into the medical tent in the middle.
General Nie, who was ordered to guard the medical tent, stopped him and looked at him with an awkward expression.
Fortunately, Bai Shan arrived quickly and entered with General Li.
General Li saw General Guo lying on the bed, already lifeless, and felt grief-stricken, yet also a little frightened. "News about the general's accident..."
"Only in this one medical tent."
General Li breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Bai Shan seriously. After a while, he said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your help."
Bai Shan said, "General, you are too polite. When the nest is overturned, no one can escape unharmed. Not to mention that I am a Jinshi selected by the Ministry of Rites, even an ordinary man would have a heavy responsibility in this situation."
He paused and said, "Before the general came back, Shan ordered his soldiers to chase the chief steward for help."
General Li perked up and asked, "Is it General Han who sent the soldiers to fetch Doctor Zhou?"
"yes."
General Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, if we hold on for a few days, the general manager should be able to return."
Bai Shan asked, "How many casualties have we suffered this time? How long can the remaining people hold out?"
General Li sighed, "We found ourselves ambushed right after we rushed through the city gate. Luckily, the general saw the opportunity quickly and told us to retreat. Unfortunately, he and the major general were left behind..."
There was nothing that could be done. Although General Guo had many problems, he always led the troops in battle. Not only would he rush to the front, he would also carry his son to the front. So when the front team became the rear team, he and General Guo were the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
While General Li was sighing, Bai Shan had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He bowed solemnly to General Li and said, "From now on, I'll have to trouble General Li and General Meng. We have to hold out for at least five days. Even if the Grand Administrator sends light cavalry to help, it will take time."
General Li could only nod, as he was the only one who could take the lead at this time.
Bai Shan then asked, "Where are General Zhao and General Meng?"
"General Meng is in the back, cleaning up the battlefield and counting the wounded. General Zhao..."
General Li shook his head. "The man fell into the city. We saw him get stabbed twice. We can't get him back."
Most likely he was killed in action.
Bai Shan was also silent for a moment.
The two discussed the guards' situation. "The most urgent task is to cut off their communication. The news of any changes in the royal city must not be spread. We have to cut off their communication for as many days as possible."
General Li knew that this was to prevent the other five cities from rebelling as well. If that happened, their and the army's retreat would be cut off.
General Li didn't leave either. He immediately discussed the matter with him in the medical tent. He scratched the ground with his knife a few times, then nodded and said, "These two roads are fine. We should be able to hold them. But this rebellion has the shadow of the Turkic army. It's obvious that the rebels in the city are in contact with the Turkic army. If they pass through this way, we will have no way to stop them."
Bai Shan thought seriously about the location on the map and said, "It will take a detour, right?"
“Yes, it’s a bit of a journey.”
"Then we can send people to inform all cities to close their gates and be on high alert. We can tell them that once General Guo recovers from his injuries and reorganizes his troops, we will retake the royal city. We must not allow other cities to move."
General Li thought about it and decided that this was the only solution at the moment.
The two finally emerged from the medical tent. General Li calmly said to the guards, "The general just woke up and fell asleep again. Please don't bother him with military matters for now."
The personal guard responded and turned to pass on the order.
General Li sent someone to replace Bai Shan, and his personal soldiers guarded the medical tent.
General Nie couldn't help but look at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan nodded and asked General Nie to take his men away, leaving only two people behind. Bai Shan's excuse was, "General Guo just had a blood transfusion, and these two soldiers have had some medical advice from Doctor Zhou, so they'll stay and take care of them."
The two soldiers looked confused, but when they saw General Li looking at them, they immediately straightened their backs to show that they understood, even though they didn't.
General Li nodded without any doubt and let them stay.
Anyway, their purpose is the same, the news of General Guo’s death must not be spread at this time.
See you tomorrow
