Taiping Lie 365. Conspiracy, Confusion

Conspiracy, confusion

In the northern Lingjiu Mountain camp, Ye Li sat in the tent with a calm expression, browsing the battle reports and memorials sent from various places. After Helian Peng suffered a few minor losses at their hands a few days ago, he never came to challenge them again. The two armies were living in peace, but Mo Xiuyao fought two battles and completely suppressed the arrogance of the Northern Rong army. However, the soldiers under Ye Li and Lu Jinxian were a little restless.

Lu Jinxian was fine, but Ye Li had to guard against Lei Zhenting's troops in the rear and could not act rashly. The soldiers' eyes turned red when they heard the intelligence sent in every day.

"Princess, General Zhou, General Sun, General He and others want to see you." Qin Feng came in and reported with a smile. Ye Li put down the battle report in her hand and said with a smile: "Are you here to fight again?" Qin Feng nodded and said with a smile: "We have been keeping a close watch these days, so they must be frustrated." Ye Li thought for a moment and said: "Let them in."

"I obey your command." Hearing Ye Li's words, even Qin Feng's eyes lit up. Although he couldn't go to the battlefield to charge and attack the enemy, he could still drink some soup while others ate meat. It wasn't just those generals who were frustrated.

After a while, He Su, Zhou Min and others came in one after another and saluted Ye Li in unison, "Hello, Princess."

Ye Li smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Why are the generals here instead of staying in their own camps?" Sun Yaowu said first, "Princess, I request to fight!"

Ye Li raised her eyebrows, smiled and looked at him calmly without saying anything. Sun Yaowei was quite awed by Ye Li, the young princess, and felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her like that. He said awkwardly, "Princess, we have been standing here all the time, watching others fight. It's really a bit frustrating. It also affects the morale of the soldiers, doesn't it?"

Ye Li nodded and said, "That makes sense. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the most powerful generals present lit up. Sun Yaowu smiled and said, "I am willing to be the vanguard and take down Luozhou City by surprise!" He Su and Zhou Min had known him for some time and knew that the loss of Luozhou City was a pain in his heart, so they did not compete with him for credit. He Su said in a deep voice, "I am willing to support General Sun."

Zhou Min also smiled and said, "I am willing to guard Lingjiu Mountain." Lingjiu Mountain definitely needs someone to guard it, and Zhou Min is not in a hurry. As long as the war starts, who would be afraid of not having a war to fight?

"You are of one mind."

The three of them smiled at each other and looked at Ye Li. Ye Li tapped the table with his index finger a few times, thought for a moment and said, "Send your plan to me first."

The three of them were overjoyed and said in unison: "As ordered! I'll take my leave!" After saying that, they rushed out to prepare to mobilize the troops at Ye Li's signal. The backs of Ye Li and the other two disappeared at the door of the tent. He couldn't help but shook his head with a smile and ordered Qin Feng behind him: "Let Qilin prepare. Since we want to capture Luozhou City, we can't make any mistakes. Helian Peng is not easy to deal with."

Qin Feng responded, "I obey your command."

Luozhou City is not very eye-catching in the whole Great Chu. It is neither a fortress located at the border nor a famous city in the Great Chu. However, it has a rather disappointing feature. Generally, cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack, but Luozhou City is easy to attack but difficult to defend. Because it is far from the border, although the Northern Rong have invaded the border many times in history, they have never really broken through the border. As a result, although the cities near the border are built as solid as iron, the inconspicuous Luozhou City has a barely built wall, which is equivalent to nothing.

The Northern Rong army could capture the border cities, so it was no problem for a mere Luozhou City to be captured. Therefore, when Luozhou fell, it was not Sun Yaowu's fault for not being able to defend the city. There was no favorable time, place, or people. Even if Sun Yaowu was the reincarnation of Sun Wu, Bai Qi would only suffer defeat.

After the Mohist Army went out, although Luozhou City was very close to Lingjiu Mountain, the Mohist Army was short of soldiers and horses. It was not difficult to capture Luozhou City, which was easy to attack but difficult to defend. But it was extremely difficult to defend it. In the end, they would probably only be trapped in a tug-of-war with the Northern Rong Army, which was meaningless. So the Mohist Army never cared about him. The reason why Ye Li agreed to the request of Sun Yaowu and others now was because the battles fought by Mo Xiuyao of the Central Army had already pushed the main force of the Northern Rong Army back. They naturally had to cooperate to drive out Helian Peng's army. As for how to defend Luozhou City after it was captured, the Mohist Army was not the Great Chu Army of the past. Even if Helian Peng wanted to compete with them, he had to see if it was worth it.

Luozhou City is not a good place to station troops. Helian Peng's army naturally did not station troops in Luozhou City, but only a part of the troops were stationed here. In the night, the whole city was silent, and only a few lights could be seen occasionally. In the past two years, the people in various parts of the north have died or fled, and only one in ten survived. Although it was not too late, Luozhou City was already immersed in darkness.

Under the cover of night, a group of men in black climbed up the imaginary city wall neatly and quickly, and quickly disappeared into the night. In a secret place not far outside Luozhou City, Sun Yaowu was gazing at the city in the night from afar, pacing back and forth anxiously. Qin Feng, who was standing next to him, leaned against a tree trunk and smiled lazily, "General Sun, what are you doing?"

Sun Yaowu frowned and said, "If we hide here, what if they alarm the defenders of Luozhou City and then attract reinforcements from the Northern Rong? Wouldn't that mean our victory will be in vain?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, don't worry. If it's Licheng, Chujing, or a place where Lei Zhenting is stationed, maybe we should be more careful. In a place like Luozhou City, if they can still alarm the garrison, they don't have to mess around."

Although Sun Yaowu had heard of the fame of Qilin, he had never seen it in person. He asked with some doubt, "How can General Qin be so confident?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Of course, if my subordinates can't have confidence in them, who else can believe in them? Doesn't General Sun also believe in his own soldiers?"

Sun Yaowu smiled and said, "That's true. I also want to see how powerful the Qilin of the Mohist Army is."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, just wait and see."

In less than half an hour, the green signal fireworks were lit in Luozhou City. Sun Yaowu was stunned, "Is that all?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, please." When Sun Yaowu and his soldiers rushed to Luozhou City, they saw that the gate of Luozhou City was open and the city was in chaos. However, there were only a few Beirong troops who could climb the city wall to resist their attack. In total, they had taken Luozhou City in less than half an hour. When Sun Yaowu stood on the wall of Luozhou City again, he was still a little dazed.

If Luozhou City could be captured so easily, what on earth had he been struggling with for the past two years?

Seeing his complex expression, which seemed to be both happy and sad, Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, don't worry about it. The princess also said before that Luozhou City is easy to attack but difficult to defend. From a military point of view, it has no value at all. It is easy for anyone to break it open. Therefore, it was not the general's fault that Luozhou was lost."

Sun Yaowu leaned on the tower, listening to Qin Feng's words, and suddenly burst into tears. In fact, he knew that the loss of Luozhou was inevitable, but as a general, he didn't know what others thought because of his loss, which caused countless deaths of the people in Luozhou, but he couldn't get over it in his heart. If he hadn't met the Mohist Army and Princess Ding, I'm afraid Sun Yaowu would have died in depression, regretting his whole life, or simply broken the jar and became a bandit. It was for this reason that Sun Yaowu respected and believed in Ye Li. Not only because Ye Li gave him trust, but also because Ye Li gave him new hope and life.

Qin Feng looked at Sun Yaowu calmly, without trying to persuade him. The princess was right. Although Sun Yaowu was a little careless about small matters, he was a rare general with a conscience.

After Sun Yaowu had vented his pent-up emotions, Qin Feng stepped forward, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, get up now that you've cried enough. The battle ahead has just begun."

Sun Yaowu was a little embarrassed for crying so much in front of others. He wiped away his tears roughly and forced himself to ignore Qin Feng's half-smile and said, "I usually think I'm very brave, but isn't the princess's plan a little too risky? What if Helian Peng doesn't fall for it and doesn't come to save Luozhou City? Then the princess will be in trouble."

Qin Feng stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "The princess said Helian Peng would definitely come."

"Why? The princess said that this place actually has no strategic significance at all." Sun Yaowu said.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Even if that's the case, our presence in Luozhou City is like driving a nail into Helian Peng's back. What's more... the princess said he couldn't afford to lose face. So, he will definitely come." From the beginning, Helian Peng repeatedly provoked the princess, and it can be seen that he is an extremely proud person. He can't tolerate his own failure, so he will never allow such a place in the area under his control to be occupied by the Mohist Army. Especially, it was taken back from his hands.

Sun Yaowu scratched his hair and nodded, "It seems to make sense."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun, you should prepare to defend the city. When the reinforcements from the Northern Rong arrive, we won't be able to relax here." Sun Yaowu nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will never let the Northern Rong people take Luozhou City away from me again."

The news that Luozhou was captured by the Mohist Army naturally spread quickly to Helian Peng's camp, and the generals under him all said that they should send troops to retake Luozhou City immediately. These Northern Rong soldiers have been invincible since entering the Central Plains. Even though they have not been able to advance much since they encountered the Mohist Army last year, they have not suffered any losses overall. In particular, the soldiers in the camp near Lingjiu Mountain have never encountered the main force of the Mohist Army, and they gradually felt that the Mohist Army was just like this. At this time, they heard that Luozhou City, which they had occupied, was counterattacked by the Mohist Army without any sound. How could they bear it? Naturally, they clamored to retake Luozhou City.

Helian Peng was not in a hurry. Although the sudden attack of the Mohist Army on Luozhou City did surprise him, the confrontations with the Mohist Army in recent days had made him much more cautious.

"If we want to take back Luozhou City, we can do so at any time. But why does Ye Li want to capture Luozhou now? Luozhou City is still some distance away from Lingjiu Mountain. Even if she captures it, she cannot connect it with the place she is guarding. Instead, she will have to exclude more people to garrison there. Logically, Ye Li will not make such an unwise decision." Helian Peng said in a deep voice.

A deputy general curled his lips in disdain and said, "Princess Ding is just a woman, how can she fight? But no matter what, we can't let the Mohist Army look down on our Northern Rong warriors."

Helian Peng's eyes gleamed, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He said, "In this case, how about having Deputy General Cha lead the troops to recapture Luozhou City?"

The deputy general immediately accepted the order and said, "I promise to retake Luozhou City before tomorrow morning."

Helian Peng did not comment and said lightly: "Let's talk about it after you take it back. Then this general will report the credit to His Majesty the Seventh Prince on your behalf." Although the deputy general had a rough temperament, he still heard some disapproval in Helian Peng's voice. He was stunned for a moment, but still took the order and turned around to leave.

After the deputy general left, Helian Peng glanced at the people below and said in a cold voice: "Go and find out for me immediately where Ye Li is!" Everyone else was stunned, and one of them stepped forward and asked: "General, do you suspect that Princess Ding attacked Luozhou City for other purposes?" Although Helian Peng had just arrived and was directly ordered by Yelu Ye to take over the troops in the Lingjiu Mountain camp, his iron-blooded and ruthless methods made many generals in awe, and no one dared to look down on him because he was still young and had never led troops before.

Helian Peng nodded and said, "Not bad. It's not like Ye Li's style to attack a place that has little effect."

The other generals were somewhat skeptical. How could they know Princess Ding's style of doing things? However, Helian Peng's order could not be discounted, and everyone hurriedly accepted the order.

"Conspiracy? This is clearly an open conspiracy." Lingjiu Mountain agreed, and Ye Li looked down at the mountains and rivers in the distance and smiled. Behind her stood Zhuo Jing and Lin Han, as well as Zhou Min who was guarding Lingjiu Mountain.

Zhou Min asked curiously, "Princess, will Helian Peng really be fooled?"

Ye Liqian smiled and said, "It's not a question of whether Helian Peng will be fooled. Even if he knows there is a problem... he can only follow the route we designed. Otherwise, he will be ready to give us the three cities near the entire Lingjiu Mountain."

Zhou Min pondered for a while, frowned and said: "The princess asked General Sun to seize Luozhou City, and sent General He to seize Huiyun City. Even if Helian Peng is willing to give up Luozhou, he will definitely not give up Huicheng. He will definitely send troops to reinforce. But... In this way, Helian Peng will definitely know that our army is weak. What if he..."

Ye Li looked back at Zhou Min, sighing helplessly: "If so, we can only rely on General Zhou." The Mohist Army has few soldiers, but it is a hard injury. There are more than 300,000 soldiers in the Lingjiu Mountain Camp, but the real elite Mohist Army is less than 100,000. They are all the remnants of the Great Chu and the soldiers under He Su. Although the soldiers under He Su are not bad compared to other generals of the Great Chu, they are still not comparable to the Northern Rong in a one-on-one battle. But this is not He Su's fault.

Zhou Min hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Princess, why doesn't the prince recruit more soldiers from the northwest?" The military service system in the northwest is slightly different from that of other countries, so the ability to recruit new soldiers is much stronger than that of other countries. If Mo Xiuyao is willing, he can recruit millions of new soldiers at any time, and these new soldiers are different from ordinary new soldiers who have just joined the army. They have more or less received some training. This is somewhat similar to the Northern Rong, but the Northern Rong is due to the folk customs, everyone practices martial arts. The Northwest is due to the military service system. Every man must serve in the army for two years from the age of sixteen to the age of coming of age.

Ye Li smiled and shook her head, saying, "Although the Northern Rong are brave, they are not strong enough for the Dingwang Mansion to fight against them with all its strength. I'm afraid that the world will not be peaceful in the next few years. If all the manpower and material resources are used up at once, what will we do in the future?"

"I see." Zhou Min thought to himself that he didn't have as many things to consider as the prince and princess, and he only needed to fight the enemy head-on. Since Princess Ding said so, he naturally stopped asking questions.

"Your Highness, Helian Peng has just sent an army of 100,000 to Huicheng." A man in black came up from behind to report.

Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand. Leave now." Ye Li waved away the man who reported the incident. While thinking, Ye Li said, "Helian Peng should have more than 400,000 troops under his command. He should have at least 200,000 troops under his command to reinforce Luozhou and Huicheng."

Zhou Min looked a little solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, the number of soldiers and horses we have now is indeed less than 150,000."

Ye Li waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, abandon the other two camps and just defend the central army. The Lingjiu Mountain has rugged roads and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we can hold on for half a month, it will be enough for He Su to take Huicheng. Even if it doesn't work... I will notify General Yuan Pei. Once Lingjiu Mountain is lost, he will immediately lead his troops out of Feihong Pass to block the way of the Beirong army." Although it is a bit risky to do so, if it succeeds, from then on He Su will occupy Huicheng, Sun Yaowu will occupy Luozhou, and Lingjiu Mountain will form a triangle to surround Helian Peng's army in the middle. By then, even if Helian Peng doesn't want to retreat, he will have no choice.

"I understand. I swear to defend Lingjiu Mountain to the death. But...would you like the princess to move to Feihong Pass first?" After thinking for a while, Zhou Min asked. It's not that he didn't believe that the princess could live and die with the soldiers, but it was unnecessary for her to take such a risk as a princess.

Ye Li nodded and said, "No need, I believe General Zhou can defend Lingjiu Mountain."

Ye Li said so, Zhou Min could no longer persuade her. She could only make up her mind secretly that she would never let Helian Peng get involved in Lingjiu Mountain. If, in case, she really couldn't bear it, she would definitely send the princess to Feihong Pass even if she had to use force.

Soon, the area around Lingjiu Mountain was plunged into chaos. As Ye Li and Zhou Min expected, Helian Peng did not personally go to rescue Huicheng and Luozhou, but instead concentrated the remaining 200,000 troops to attack Lingjiu Mountain. The troops fighting against Lu Jinxian in the east were in a stalemate for a long time and could not break through. Yelu Ye and Helian Zhen, the central army, jointly led an army of more than 800,000, but they were no match for Mo Xiuyao's less than 500,000 troops. After fighting for half a month, they lost more than they won, and had no choice but to retreat. If Helian Peng could open a passage from Lingjiu Mountain, it would naturally solve the current dilemma of the Northern Rong Army. More importantly, winter comes early in the north, and winter is about to come. By then, the military supplies and fodder of the Northern Rong Army will be even more stretched than they are now. Therefore, although Helian Peng knew that Ye Li's arrangement might be disadvantageous to him, he had to go all out and attack Lingjiu Mountain with all his strength.

In front of the Lingjiu Mountain, the two sides fought for five days, and both sides suffered countless casualties. However, neither side showed any intention of retreating. In comparison, this time, the Mohist Army suffered a real loss. At this time, the Mohist Army's combat power was not as good as the Northern Rong Army, and the number of soldiers and horses was not as good as the Northern Rong Army. If Lingjiu Mountain was not easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that the Mohist Army would have been defeated by now.

But even so, Helian Peng was no better off than Ye Li and Zhou Min. Although his casualties were less than those of the Mohist Army, he only had about 200,000 soldiers, and the troops sent to reinforce Luozhou and Huicheng had not yet sent back any news. If the casualties continued like this, even if he wiped out all the troops in Lingjiu Mountain, I am afraid that his remaining troops would not be enough to defeat the Mohist Army at Feihong Pass behind him after passing Lingjiu Mountain. By then, both sides would be hurt. It would be the worst. The worst thing was that Ye Li could afford to be injured, because she had Yuan Pei and the defenders of Feihong Pass behind her. But Helian Peng could not afford to be injured. Once Luozhou and Huicheng were completely lost, he would not dare to go there even if he conquered Lingjiu Mountain. Once we got there, we really became an isolated army.

"Ye, Li!" Standing in front of the army, looking at the soldiers who were covered in wounds and looked exhausted, Helian Peng couldn't help but grit his teeth, and a fanatical look appeared in his eyes, "As expected of Princess Ding, this general was still tricked by you. But... did you also count your own life this time?"

Looking at the black flags of the Mohist army on Lingjiu Mountain in front of him, which were fading in the wind, Helian Peng smiled coldly, "Now that things have come to this, if I don't capture your Lingjiu Mountain, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for being incompetent?"

"Someone come!"

"General?!" A general came over to wait for orders. Helian Peng raised his eyes, stared at the hillside not far away and said in a deep voice: "Continue to attack Lingjiu Mountain. Don't stop until you take it down!" The general was stunned and said with some embarrassment: "General, Lingjiu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm afraid..." Helian Peng glanced at him coldly, forcing the man to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Helian Peng stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

"yes!"

On Lingjiu Mountain, the troops were also on high alert, filled with blood and tension. Lin Han followed Ye Li and patrolled the front lines outside the camp with her. Looking at the soldiers sitting together in groups of three or five to rest, many of whom were injured and had not been treated in time, Lin Han could not help but frown. He looked at Ye Li who was walking in front of him with some concern, and wanted to persuade her to leave earlier, but he couldn't say the words.

Seeing Ye Li coming, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground wanted to stand up and salute. Ye Li waved his hand to signal them not to move, walked up to a soldier who was resting against a haystack with blood all over his left arm, and asked softly: "What's the matter? Why don't you bandage the wound?"

The soldier looked no more than 17 or 18 years old. Seeing Ye Li asking him a question, he blushed and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Princess...Princess, my injury is not serious. I just broke a little skin. I don't need to bandage it." Ye Li squatted down, raised her hand and pulled up his sleeve. The injury was indeed not serious. It didn't hurt the vital parts, but a lot of blood was shed. If it was normal, it would be fine, but in this situation, I'm afraid that if I use force, the wound will tear more severely. Ye Li frowned, took out a bottle and sprinkled some medicine on his wound. Lin Han behind him handed him a cloth towel. Ye Li took it and bandaged it neatly.

The young soldier was stunned when he saw the woman in white bandaging his wound. But the princess seemed very skilled and applied the medicine in a short time. She bandaged the wound better than the military doctors he had seen. Looking at the stunned young soldier, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "How old are you? Are you afraid?"

The young man shook his head and said firmly: "I'm not afraid." In fact, he was still a little scared, but the princess was a woman and she was not afraid, so how could he, as a man, be afraid?

Ye Li patted his shoulder and said, "Have a good rest. We will have a tough battle to fight later." Standing up, Ye Li turned to Lin Han and said, "There is no shortage of medicine in the camp. Ask the military doctor to distribute some medicine to the soldiers. For some minor injuries, let everyone help each other with medicine and bandage them."

"Yes, Princess." Lin Han nodded, and pulled a passing soldier over to pass on the message. Then he followed Ye Li. Seeing him like this, Ye Li said helplessly, "I won't be in any danger in the barracks. You don't have to follow me everywhere."

Lin Han shook his head and said, "The prince has ordered that the princess must be protected."

Ye Li knew that he was not convinced, so she had to let him go. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a painful groan from not far away. Ye Li frowned and turned to walk towards that place. It was a simple shed for seriously injured soldiers. Two doctors were discussing something with a young soldier. The groan came from the soldier's mouth.

In fact, the cold weapon battlefield in ancient times was far more brutal than in the past. Naturally, there were no professional battlefield doctors or nurses to rescue the wounded on the battlefield. Generally, the seriously injured could not escape death in the war. Occasionally, those who were lucky enough to survive the battle and not killed by the enemy would be dragged back by their own people. However, even so, the death rate of seriously injured soldiers who were rescued was alarmingly high. It is precisely because of this that there were not many people who were disabled on the battlefield.

"How is the injury?" Ye Li asked softly.

The two doctors turned around and reported helplessly: "The arrow is stuck in the bone, I'm afraid..." The arrow cannot be pulled out. Although the leg is injured, the person will die sooner or later due to festering of the wound and other reasons.

Ye Li looked down at the young man lying on the bed. The wound had turned blue and was beginning to fester. The young man's eyes were filled with despair and pain. Ye Li's heart darkened. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is amputation okay?"

"Amputation?" The two doctors were stunned, but soon realized what Ye Li meant. They said with some embarrassment: "If we cut off this leg... maybe there is still a glimmer of hope. As long as the wound does not fester, there should be no problem. But, but..." Such a thing is not something that everyone can do. Although they are doctors, they have never done such a thing. There was another experienced old military doctor in the camp, but he fell seriously ill due to fatigue a few days ago and was sent back to Feihong Pass.

Ye Li hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "I'll do it."

"Princess?!" Not only the two doctors, but even Lin Han was shocked.

Ye Li said calmly, "Don't worry, I can do it." As a special forces soldier in his previous life, Ye Li had learned battlefield first aid, not only simple treatment of external injuries, but also general battlefield surgery. Amputation happened to be one of the most common operations.

The two doctors were still a little hesitant. Although they couldn't save the wounded man, they couldn't let the princess do it. The wounded man might still live for a few days, but if the princess did it, he might die on the spot.

Dead.

Ye Li walked up to the young man and whispered, "I'm going to amputate your leg that was hit by the arrow. Don't be afraid."

A trace of fear rose in the young man's eyes, and he tried hard to shake his head, but the pain from his leg made him unable to say a word. Ye Li looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Life is always more important than a leg. It's already like this. Are you willing to give up your life without even a gamble? Is there anyone in your family waiting for you to return?"

The young man's eyes were a little dazed, as if he remembered something. A trace of hope and anger slowly appeared in his eyes. Ye Li said softly: "As long as you want to live, you must try your best, even if it means holding on until the last moment."

The young man finally nodded. Although there was still fear in his eyes, he was no longer so panicked. Ye Li then stood up and told the two doctors beside him: "Prepare painkillers, hemostatics, clean hot water, strong liquor, clean towels and fire." The two doctors had no choice but to prepare things according to Ye Li's instructions.

After everything was ready, Ye Li took out an unused thin-bladed short knife, wiped it with alcohol, and then put it on the fire for a while before standing next to the young man and cutting a part of his leg. The two doctors standing by stared at Ye Li's movements with wide eyes. She was very neat and measured. She might have been a little unfamiliar at first, but after two or three times, she seemed to have gradually found the feeling. She looked even cleaner and neater than the experienced military doctors.

While Ye Li was busy, the sound of war drums suddenly came from outside. In the distance, there was also the sound of the Northern Rong's unique horn, which clearly indicated that the Northern Rong army had begun to attack again. Lin Han said worriedly, "Princess..."

Ye Li didn't even raise her head, her hands didn't stop moving, and she ordered, "Go tell Zhou Min that he will be in charge of everything. I'll be out soon." Lin Han looked at the semi-conscious injured person on the bed, and finally turned around and left.

Ye Li finally stopped the knife in her hand. She picked up the thread boiled in hot water and sewed the wound, then bandaged it. After doing all this, Ye Li raised her head and took a deep breath. The two doctors standing beside her had been watching for a long time. When they saw Ye Li raised her head and looked at them, they came back to their senses and said, "Princess..."

Ye Li put down the things in her hands, washed her hands in the basin beside her, and said, "You two should take good care of him. I believe you two know more about heat-clearing, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory medicines than I do. His wounds cannot be exposed to water. If he is fine in the next few days, there should be no problem. I'll go out first."

"Yes, I respectfully send you off, Princess. Don't worry, we will take good care of him." Both doctors were a little embarrassed and assured him. Ye Li didn't care about anything else, so he turned around and left the shed and went to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Helian Peng did not see Ye Li from a distance, and could not help but frowning. He raised his voice and asked, "Why? Princess Ding finally got scared and left early?" When he said this, Helian Peng felt a little complicated, and he didn't know whether he hoped Ye Li had left or not.

Zhou Min snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Where is our princess? How can a barbarian like you from the Northern Rong Dynasty control that?"

Helian Peng's face darkened, and he sneered, "I thought the world-famous Princess Ding was some kind of heroine, but it turns out she is just a cowardly woman who escaped from the battlefield."

"I am too lazy to waste my time talking to a Northern Rong barbarian like you. If you want to fight, then let's fight!" Zhou Min pointed the spear in his hand at Helian Peng.

Helian Peng also smiled and said, "That's right, I'll kill you and then go find your Princess Ding! Charge!" After saying that, Helian Peng rushed up the hillside without waiting for the drums to sound. The soldiers following him saw the general leading the way, so they naturally didn't hesitate and followed him to charge towards the front of the Mohist army.

Zhou Min did not retreat either, and snorted, "Kill him!"

The Mohist army roared, some shot arrows, some threw huge logs and rocks, and rushed towards the Northern Rong army without mercy. The Northern Rong army had been attacking for five or six days, and had gained some experience. This time, many people actually avoided the rain of rocks, logs and arrows rolling down from above and rushed up. The warriors of the Mohist army rushed down without hesitation, and the two armies immediately engaged in close combat.

Helian Peng relied on his advanced martial arts skills and flew towards Zhou Min. The archer in front of him changed his target without hesitation and shot at Helian Peng in mid-air. The Black Cloud Cavalry of the Mohist Army has always been famous for its archery skills. Even Helian Peng did not dare to take on more than a dozen arrows that were shot at the same time. He turned over in the air to avoid the rain of arrows, swung the long sword in his hand, and fell back a lot of arrows before falling to the ground.

Helian Penglang laughed and said, "What a great archery skill. I would like to learn the archery skills of the Mohist Army."

Before he finished speaking, he swooped down towards Zhou Min again. He was very good at Qinggong and very fast. In a moment, he was already several feet away from Zhou Min. He unfurled his long sword and swung it towards the archers. A sharp sword energy came towards them. The archers saw the opportunity very quickly and turned around to avoid it, but two of them were still injured. Helian Peng ignored them and turned to kill Zhou Min.

Arrows are long-range weapons, but they are useless when it comes to close combat. Zhou Min was not afraid either, he thrust his spear forward and stabbed towards Helian Peng. Helian Peng smiled and said, "General Zhou, you are a good leader, but unfortunately your martial arts skills are still a little lacking."

Zhou Min said coldly: "General Helian talks too much nonsense."

Helian Peng smiled and said, "Is that so? In that case, let me learn from General Zhou's skills."

Zhou Min was originally a general who was ordered to fight, not a lone martial arts expert. Compared with Helian Peng, his martial arts skills were naturally inferior. At this time, Ye Li, He Su, and Sun Yaowu were not there, and the battle in front was commanded by Zhou Min alone, which made him unable to fully fight the enemy. After a few rounds, he had already shown a disadvantage.

Helian Peng was in great joy. He waved his sword and said with a smile, "General Zhou, General Ding Zhou, is Princess Ding really not here? If she is really gone, you are dead today."

Zhou Min snorted lightly, ignoring the bloody scratch on his arm, and thrust his spear forward again. Helian Peng jumped up, "If that's the case, it's a pity... We don't have many generals like General Zhou in the Northern Rong." The long sword turned out a dark red cold light in the sunlight and slashed towards Zhou Min's neck.

"Swish!" A black shadow flashed by, and Lin Han, with a cold face, raised his sword to block Helian Peng's knife. He said coldly: "General Helian wants to see the archery skills of the Mo family army, why are you so anxious?"

Helian Peng was startled, and felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He quickly turned over to get out of the way, but a black feather arrow just passed by him. The power of this arrow was completely different from those of the archers just now. Even though it didn't hit him but just passed by his face, he still felt a slight pain on his face.

"General Helian is really anxious. I am really surprised that he leads the troops like this." Ye Li stood not far away, looking at Helian Peng calmly. Helian Peng laughed and looked at Ye Li and said, "It turns out that the princess is still in the army. I have misunderstood her."

Ye Li said calmly: "Don't worry, since the general is here, you might as well stay for a while. General Zhou, go and do your own thing." Zhou Min glanced at Ye Li and Helian Peng, knowing that he could not help here, nodded and turned away.

Helian Peng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Princess Ding wants to keep me, so I am naturally honored."

Ye Li was not in a good mood at this time, and did not joke with Helian Peng. She said lightly: "This is the best." With a wave of her white hand, several feather arrows shot towards Helian Peng from various places. Helian Peng quickly jumped over and swung his sword to cut off the feather arrows that were shot at him. Unexpectedly, after cutting off the arrows in front, a strong wind hit him from behind. Even though Helian Peng relied on his deep internal strength to avoid being shot, he was still very scared for a while.

"Awesome!" Just now, the dozens of archers' arrows didn't pose any threat to Helian Peng. But now, these not-so-dense arrows made Helian Peng a little flustered.

"General, you can appreciate the difference between Qilin and Yazi." Ye Li said calmly.

When Helian Peng finally broke through Qilin's rain of arrows, he was already several dozen battles away from the Mohist Army camp. Helian Peng looked at the woman in white standing in front of several men in black from a distance, and sighed unwillingly, "I sincerely invited the princess to visit Beirong, why are you so ungrateful?"
