Chapter 2697 Return
Xue Bei came to see Li Si. Seeing that he was able to sit up, he looked at his wound and asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Si said, "Lord Zhou said we need to wait a few more days. If the wound doesn't get worse, it will be healed."
Xue Bei reached out and touched his forehead, "It's a little hot."
Li Si frowned, "It's not a big deal. Lord Zhou said that as long as I don't have a high fever or convulsions, I'll be fine."
Xue Bei: "...You're quite open-minded. When the arrowhead was dug out, His Majesty thought you were going to die."
Li Si was deeply moved and said, "Even if I die a thousand times, I cannot repay your majesty's kindness."
It talks about the emperor sucking his blood.
Xue Bei curled his lips and was about to speak when the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard, followed by a burst of hurried drum beats.
Xue Bei immediately stood up and pressed Li Si, who was about to jump up, and said, "You are injured. Rest assured and take care of your injury. I will go and take a look."
Xue Bei ran to the main tent. As soon as he arrived, the soldier who had just beaten the drum also ran over and shouted, "Report—"
He fell to his knees with a thud and shouted, "General Xue, the general is surrounded and trapped in the enemy. Please send troops to rescue him."
Xue Bei was shocked. "Aren't they infantry? Why didn't they charge out?"
What could the soldiers say? Could it be that the general was too fond of fighting that he charged into battle not once, not twice, but four times?
Now is not the time to pursue the matter. This army is led by Qibi Heli. He is the vanguard and nothing can happen to him, otherwise it will be a big blow to morale.
Xue Bei immediately summoned eight hundred soldiers and set out. Before leaving, he ran to Zhou Man and said to her, "Master Zhou, move your tents into the city immediately and close the gates. Unless we return, you must hold the city firmly."
All the infantry were left behind, and there were still 400 cavalrymen, which was almost enough.
Xue Bei also went to look for Li Si and said, "Take care of the main account."
Li Si: ...He is injured, but I agreed. Now the highest-ranking person in the army is Zhou Man besides him. We can't let a royal physician lead the troops, right?
Xue Bei and his troops galloped out of the camp. Man Bao, who was sitting in front of the tent door grinding medicine, only looked up and said to Su Mu, "Have someone prepare some more firewood and send it to the city. The main tent will be moved to the city soon. Have the scouts watch the front and report back if any wounded soldiers are brought in."
Su Mu agreed and asked, "Teacher, do you want to make some medicine packs? We don't have many hemostatic packs left."
Manbao thought that there wasn't much to do today. After moving into Baiyan City, he would just take care of the wounded who had already been treated. He really needed to do more while he had free time, so he nodded and said, "Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine. We'll make some."
Su Mu went to make a list and get the medicine.
Manbao continued to grind the medicine powder. She picked up the pestle, pinched a little bit of the powder and looked at it. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. Grind it a little more."
Li Si covered the wound on his chest and barely put on his clothes. He went out to organize the soldiers to move all the tents to Baiyan City.
Xue Bei was in a hurry to rescue Qibi Heli, and the commander was trapped in the army. The matter was not made public, because it would not only affect morale, but could also cause mutiny.
Xue Bei arrived and saw that the Jin cavalry were surrounded in the middle. He immediately said, "Charge in from the east and out from the west..."
They didn't rush in directly, they first attacked from the side, without even touching Qibi Heli, and then attacked from the other side...
The enemy army that had surrounded Qibi Heli in the center had to turn around to deal with them. The siege was slightly relieved, and Xue Bei led his men to charge in. After charging twice, he finally broke in and fled with Qibi Heli covered in blood.
The two teams merged into one and ran for a long time before escaping. However, Qibi Heli did not return to Baiyan City directly, but stopped on a hillside. After dismounting, he asked someone to count the number of people.
Xue Bei hurried to help him, "General, are you okay?"
Qibi Heli stripped off his armor and tore open his clothes to reveal his waist, where the skin and flesh were exposed and there was a hole.
Xue Bei saw that his clothes were soaked with blood. He had thought it was someone else's blood, but now it seemed that there was also his own blood on it.
His brows twitched, and he immediately asked someone to bring linen to bandage the wound.
The guards immediately stepped forward, and Qibi Heli took out the medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to him, "Apply the medicine."
The personal soldier took it, poured medicine powder on it, and then wrapped it with fine linen cloth, which stopped the bleeding.
Soon the cloth was soaked with red blood. Qibi Heli poured out a pill and ate it. He asked the soldiers to bandage their wounds and eat something, and then he would go and kill again.
Xue Bei: "...General, you are injured now."
Qibi Heli said with a stern expression, "I'm going because I'm injured. We just killed less than 2,000 people, and they still have over 10,000. If we fail this time, they'll be able to surround Baiyan City tomorrow."
His Majesty and his men are currently attacking Anshi City. I heard that reinforcements have also arrived there, and they definitely cannot spare any troops to assist this side. He will never allow Baiyan City to be besieged, as they had taken the city with great difficulty.
He stood up and shouted angrily, "How dare they hurt me! Are you afraid of them?"
The soldiers roared, "No fear, no fear!"
"Since you are not afraid, then follow me and fight back to avenge our fallen brothers!"
The soldiers followed with an angry roar and mounted their horses.
Xue Bei: ...
He had no choice but to mount his horse and follow the energized soldiers, along with Qibi Heli, to chase back.
Goguryeo had just gathered its soldiers and learned that Qibi Heli was stabbed in the waist. They thought he was in danger and were about to march towards Baiyan City. However, after they had only taken a few steps, the damn Qibi Heli came back with his cavalry.
This time he did not go deep into the enemy's territory. Instead, he attacked from the side and then attacked from the side. Because the mountain road was not wide, he directly cut off their support from behind.
If he did not advance deep enough, the infantry could not surround him at all, and he was soon killed by them. Even though the Goguryeo generals tried to stabilize the morale of the army, some soldiers could not help but turn their backs and flee.
If even one of them turns and flees, the army will be defeated.
The Goguryeo general had no choice but to order his men to retreat. Qibi Heli led his men to chase after them until dark. They chased them for twenty miles and only stopped when Xue Bei called him.
Qibi Heli held a large knife in his hand. Xue Bei said, "General, it's getting dark. Let's go back to the city."
Qibi He Lichen nodded with a stern face and took his men back to Baiyan City.
They returned to Baiyan City in the dark. Baiyan City was under martial law and the city gates were closed. The people on the city wall verified their identities before opening the gates to let them in.
Qibi Heli rode in calmly, sat firmly on his horse, and asked, "Where is the master's tent?"
The soldier pointed in the direction, and he rode his horse and led his men towards the main tent. In the darkness, he took a quick glance and headed for the brightest light. Once inside, he saw Zhou Man, Li Si, and the others standing under the lights. He headed straight for Zhou Man...
Manbao's eyes fell on the army behind him. He was about to say that the wounded should be sent in, but before he could open his mouth, Qibi Heli's body tilted and he fell off the horse.
Manbao's pupils shrank, and she quickly ran forward to extend her hand, but she only had time to support him for a moment before she was thrown directly to the ground. She hissed and immediately asked someone to carry Qibi Heli into the medical tent.
Xue Bei was startled and quickly jumped off his horse, saying to Zhou Man, "The general has a wound on his waist."
