Chapter 2755: A Plan Within a Plan
Qibi Heli hung the head in his hand on the horse's back, and immediately rushed towards the Goguryeo troops who had already been in disarray, waving his sword...
Xue Bei behind him immediately followed with his army.
Manbao only had time to shout, "You have to come back and bandage it..."
But no one heard her words. First, the cavalry followed Xue Bei and rushed forward, and together with Qibi Heli, they charged into the enemy's ranks. Then, the infantry behind them rushed past her in groups...
Bai Shan saw that the enemy's city wall seemed to be closing. Because the city gate was heavy, it had to be opened or closed slowly.
He frowned slightly, glanced at the soldiers who were already engaged in a battle with the Goguryeo soldiers, and turned to Bai Erlang and said, "Hurry up and take Manbao back to the camp. General Ashina might still be in the camp. Whoever is there, immediately have them bring bows and crossbows and catapults to support us. Prepare medicine and other supplies in the medical tent. Arrow wounds are likely the most common. Quickly—"
After saying that, he drew his sword and led Daji into the enemy camp.
Manbao and Bai Erlang's horses had rarely been on the battlefield, so they were a little frightened and stood still. They turned back in surprise to look at Bai Shan who had rushed in. Manbao seemed to sense something and pulled Chiji hard, comforting it, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's go back quickly..."
Chiji managed to stabilize himself, turned around and ran. Bai Erlang also touched Lu'er's head, comforted him slightly, and then chased after him.
After Shen Ming's death, Gao Nuosa, who was standing on the city wall, gave the order: "Close the city gates immediately."
"But there are still two thousand soldiers below."
Gao Nuosa said expressionlessly: "No, let the archers prepare."
Of course, he had assumed this outcome. If it happened, the large number of bows and arrows he had prepared would come in handy.
Everyone's expression changed.
Under the city wall, Qibi Heli led his men to charge forward, wanting to rush into the city, but the opponent's city gate was quickly closed.
When he rushed over, the door just closed.
He had no choice but to turn around and attack again.
Xue Bei saw the enemy closing the city gates tightly, and his heart tightened. He shouted, "General, these are abandoned pawns!"
Bai Shan rushed into the battlefield with Daji and several imperial guards who came to protect him. He tried to move closer to Qibi Heli and shouted, "General, retreat, retreat quickly, the arrows are about to be fired from the tower..."
When Qibi Heli heard this, his heart sank. He turned around and ordered his personal guards, who had been following him closely, "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops..."
As soon as the words were spoken, hundreds of arrows fell from the city wall, piercing the chests, arms, thighs, and even the necks of the soldiers who were fighting without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Qibi Heli swung his sword to cut off the flying arrows. Seeing that many of his soldiers had been hit by arrows, he was filled with anger and turned his horse around to charge in...
Bai Shan swung his sword to cut off the flying sword, stopped Qibi Heli and said: "General, quickly withdraw the troops——"
The personal guards had already taken out the bronze gong and struck it hard. When the Jin army heard the sound, they began to retreat while fighting.
Qibi Heli shouted: "The cavalry will cover the rear, let the infantry retreat first!"
So Xue Bei led the cavalry to stop the Goguryeo army and let the infantry retreat one after another.
On the city wall, Gao Nuo Sa saw Qibi Heli surrounded by his personal guards and pointed at his position and ordered: "Shoot! Bring the bows and crossbows!"
Qibi Heli swung his sword to sweep away the arrows flying towards Bai Shan, and commanded his shield to move forward to block...
Manbao and Bai Erlang galloped towards the camp. Seeing Xue Gui and others at the camp gate from a distance, they immediately shouted, "There's a battle ahead. Goguryeo is leading with two thousand soldiers. Go and support them!"
Xue Gui's eyes widened, and he only had time to say to his comrades, "I told you I heard drums and shouts of killing, but you refused to believe me."
Bai Erlang said, "Bring the siege catapults, bows and crossbows, etc., quickly!"
Not only Xue Gui was here today, but Inspector Niu was also here. The two of them immediately turned around and went back to inspect the troops.
After notifying the public of the news, Manbao and Bai Erlang immediately went to find the medical tent on duty.
Because they were besieging but not attacking during this period, most of the people in the medical tent stayed in the small town to take care of the wounded and treat the sick soldiers.
There are only three students here, who were dispatched for emergency purposes. Fortunately, the medicinal materials have always been supplied with food and fodder.
Although the army besieging the city was replaced every day, the logistics never changed, so the medicinal materials here were well prepared.
As soon as Manbao arrived, he immediately called all the soldiers in the medical tent and assigned them tasks. Those who needed to bring medicinal herbs brought them, those who needed to bring pots brought pots, and firewood also had to be brought.
By the time they were ready, the main camp had already set off.
Their small group fell behind.
By the time Xue Gui and the governor Niu arrived with their men, most of Qibi Heli's army had already withdrawn.
On the battlefield, the remaining Goguryeo soldiers no longer remembered to kill the Jin army because they were shot and killed by more arrows from the city walls.
He suffered a mental breakdown and fled in all directions, not even thinking of trying to hold on to the Jin army and sink together.
Bai Shanhu, along with General Qibi Heli, rushed out of the range under the protection of Daji and his personal guards, and collided head-on with Governor Xue Guiniu.
When Governor Niu saw Qibi Heli's face as pale as gold paper, his expression changed and he rode forward, "General..."
Qibi Heli was still conscious. He said, "We cannot be defeated like this. Use catapults and crossbows to save as many soldiers as possible."
Governor Niu agreed and immediately turned aside to let them go to the medical tent.
Bai Shan kicked the horse's belly and took Qibi Heli to find Manbao.
Governor Niu had already turned his head to look at the city wall, but after Bai Shan passed by, he immediately turned his head to look at them. Unfortunately, his view was blocked by their personal guards, but he was still a little surprised and confused.
Xue Gui had already given the order. The soldiers were setting up the catapults and crossbows. Seeing his look of surprise, they couldn't help but look back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Governor Niu's heart was pounding. "I just saw two arrows stuck in Lord Bai's back."
There were indeed two arrows stuck in Bai Shan's back. Daji had been following behind him with a pale face, but he quickly came to his senses. He stared at the two arrows in Bai Shan's back for a long time. Finally, when they rushed to the medical tent and everyone was nervously carrying Qibi Heli to find Zhou Man, he raised his hand to break the arrows behind him, then calmly reached out to support Bai Shan and reminded him, "Young Master, you've been shot."
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale. He said that in the chaos, he felt a dull pain in his back. It turned out that he was hit by an arrow.
Bai Shan nodded to him and followed him to find Manbao.
Manbao and the others had just arrived and only had time to set up two medical tents. Seeing General Qibi Heli being sent over, she frowned slightly, "How did he get shot again?"
When he saw Bai Shan again, he found that he was also pale, and couldn't help asking: "Are you hurt?"
Daji immediately said, "The young master was hit by two arrows."
Manbao's face turned pale and he almost fell down.
Bai Shan stepped forward to support her and whispered, "I'm fine." Then he patted her hand suggestively.
See you at 6pm
