Chapter 198 The Xuanhuang Army Approaches
There was a dark cloud hanging over the mall, which would not go away. There was no sunshine in the broad daylight. The heavy rain was not coming, only the autumn wind was blowing.
At dawn, Baili Haoxuan had already assembled 100,000 elite soldiers and marched to Hecheng, Shangzhou, to attack the Beitang rebels. Baili Haoxuan, wearing shimmering armor and standing straight, kept waving his whip and galloping. He wanted to tear Beitang Yuan apart immediately and bring that woman back, with a bloodthirsty light in his blue eyes.
After a long night, Beitang Yuan and the generals still couldn't come to a conclusion. Beitang Yuan also dismissed the generals early and asked them to rest. After all, they had just suffered their first defeat yesterday, and they were exhausted. This matter also needs to be discussed with Yun Jingman, after all, she might have a solution.
He rubbed his frowning eyebrows, raised his head, closed his eyes and took a short rest. His mind was still working non-stop, trying to come up with a plan. Baili Haoxuan was indeed a tough opponent.
Maner, will she have a solution?
The narrow peach blossom eyes suddenly opened without warning, he put on a robe, stood up, walked out of the central military tent, and headed towards the wounded tent.
Beitang Yuan strode forward, and before he reached the wounded soldiers' tent, he saw Cang Li and a soldier coming towards him, supporting a wounded soldier with a broken leg.
"General." The three said in unison.
"Yeah." Beitang Yuan nodded.
"General, are you here to see Master Man... Yun?" Cang Li was about to say Sister Man out of habit, but when Beitang Yuan glared at her, she changed her words.
"Is she still there?"
"Yes. I have not stopped since yesterday, and have been treating the wounded. Look, I just treated one. Master Yun asked me to take him back to rest and boil medicine."
"Well, let's go."
"Yes, General." Before leaving, Cang Li looked at Beitang Yuan one more time before leaving with reluctance in his eyes.
When the tent of the wounded soldiers was lifted, one could see that the camp was full of wounded soldiers. After a quick glance, one found a petite figure trying to rescue them in the corner.
When everyone saw Beitang Yuan, they all called out, "General," and saluted. Even the three military doctors who were performing the operation were no exception.
However, Yun Jingman acted as if he didn't hear anything from beginning to end. He focused on his own surgical treatment and did not call Beitang Yuan or salute.
A flash of admiration flashed across Beitang Yuan's peach blossom eyes.
Beitang Yuan waved his hand to signal them to continue, and walked through the wounded soldiers on the ground to where Yun Jingman was. Yun Jingman was unaware and was still carefully sewing the wounded soldiers.
Beitang Yuan did not disturb her, but looked at Yun Jingman quietly, sewing needle by needle, looking at her profile, drops of sweat oozing out, sliding down her forehead and dripping onto the ground.
Seeing Yun Jingman's full concentration, Beitang Yuan's narrow peach blossom eyes were obsessed. It is said that serious women are the most beautiful, and he also fell in love with them...
"Don't stand there in the way, or come and help." Yun Jingman glanced at the figure and said coldly. In fact, her hands are numb now. She has not eaten for a day and a night, and she has been stitching and treating the wound non-stop. It seems that her hands are no longer her own and only know how to operate mechanically.
However, no matter how tired she was, she couldn't stop, because she had to race against time, race against death. There were still many people waiting for her treatment.
Ignore the palpitations, endure it, and do your best to treat the patient.
"How can I help?" Beitang Yuan lowered his head and leaned close to Yun Jingman's ear and asked ambiguously.
"Report, General." The soldier reported anxiously.
"Say!"
"According to the spies ahead, the Xuanhuang army is approaching our army ten miles away."
"What?" Beitang Yuan asked in surprise, his voice slightly raised.
"Emperor Xuanhui is approaching our army with 100,000 elite soldiers." The soldier repeated again.
Yun Jingman paused while concentrating on sewing, a trace of surprise flashed across her watery eyes, her mind went blank, are they going to meet so soon? However, now they are at a disadvantage, they are at the mercy of others.
This was definitely not the result she wanted.
Beitang Yuan frowned, his brows wrinkled into folds. Everyone in the tent looked at Beitang Yuan, waiting for his instructions.
Whether to advance or retreat, it all depends on his thoughts.
If we confront the enemy with all our strength and fight to the death, we might have a chance of winning; however, looking at the camp full of wounded soldiers and the low morale caused by their first defeat yesterday, how can we compete with Xuanhuang's high morale?
Since Baili Haoxuan dared to attack with elite troops, he must be well prepared. How could they resist Baili Haoxuan who was fully prepared when they were totally unprepared?
After weighing the pros and cons, Beitang Yuan said, "Retreat. Retreat to the outside of Xiaoguan Pass." Retreating to Xiaoguan Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with high peaks scattered all over the place, forming a natural barrier. Even if Ren Baili Haoxuan had the ability to reach the sky, it would be difficult for him to break through the pass for the time being.
"Yes, General!" After receiving the order, the soldier went down to convey the order!
After Beitang Yuan conveyed the order, he pulled Yun Jingman's hand, who was still busy, and said in a hurry: "Man'er, pack up and leave here."
The wounded soldiers in the camp became depressed after hearing Beitang Yuan's order. As expected, they were still waiting to die. They were seriously injured and could not retreat with the main army, especially since the Xuanhuang army was already ten miles away and was imminent.
"What about them?" Yun Jingman glanced at the wounded soldiers in the first battalion.
"The Xuanhuang army is approaching, what do you think?" Beitang Yuan pulled Yun Jingman out. He was already showing leniency by treating her. A seriously injured person was already waiting to die, not to mention that the enemy was approaching.
"I won't leave, I want to stay." Yun Jingman's eyes were determined, and she shook off Beitang Yuan's hand. Since she was the first to do it, there was no reason to stop, she must treat all the wounded.
"Maner, are you crazy? Stop messing around." Beitang Yuan frowned and said coldly.
"I'm not crazy. I won't leave. If you want to leave, go by yourself." She was stubborn and pushed Beitang Yuan away. She squatted down again and continued the stitching treatment.
Faced with a dilemma, Beitang Yuan had no choice but to resort to this last resort...
When Baili Haoxuan arrived, there was no guard at the gate of the military camp, and no patrolling guards were seen. Baili Haoxuan frowned and said coldly in a voice as cold as a thousand-year-old black ice: "Search for me!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers received the order and searched around.
The raging dark clouds were pressing down heavily, and the rain refused to fall but kept gathering.
The blue eyes were filled with strong murderous intent and crazy bloodthirstiness, like a string stretched tightly, waiting for a fuse to ignite the killing that was ready to happen, just like the gloomy sky.
"Reporting to the emperor, we searched everywhere and found no trace of anyone. Except for a wounded soldier in the tent, there is no one else." The soldier leader came back to report.
"Wounded soldiers?" A trace of surprise flashed across his blue eyes, and he said expressionlessly, "Take me to see them."
"Yes."
Baili Haoxuan dismounted gracefully and followed the leader of the soldiers to the wounded camp. Looking at the wounded soldiers groaning and struggling in the dying state, his blue eyes swept around but he could not find the figure he was looking for.
"Where is Beitang Yuan?" Baili Haoxuan asked gloomily, his blue eyes emitting murderous intent that made everyone tremble with fear.
None of the wounded soldiers in the camp answered Baili Haoxuan's words. Although they were abandoned, they knew that they were enemies and could not betray their brothers.
Seeing that no one responded, Baili Haoxuan stopped asking.
"Show me the map."
"Yes."
He brought a square table and unfolded the map. He stared at the map with his eyebrows raised, pointing to a place not far from Hecheng in Lishangzhou. "Xiaoguan. Let's set off for Xiaoguan immediately!"
With his keen military sense and shrewd judgment, Baili Haoxuan quickly found out where Beitang Yuan was.
"Hun, stay and interrogate her about everything." He needed to know what role Sang Yu Hanyan played in the Beitang army, and he also wanted to know how much she hated her.
"Yes, master." The black phantom came to Baili Haoxuan in the blink of an eye and had already bowed his head.
A murderous intent flashed across Baili Haoxuan's blue eyes. After receiving the message, Hun said no more words, turned around and left, quickly mounted his horse, and led his elite troops towards Xiaoguan.
The peaks are staggered, right?
A natural barrier?
Easy to defend but difficult to attack, right?
He vowed today to break through Xiaoguan and bring Sang Yu Hanyan to his side. No one could stop him.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, dark and gloomy, and suddenly heavy rain came pouring down, covering the earth. Baili Haoxuan was caught off guard, and just as he set out, he encountered heavy rain.
The road ahead was muddy and it was not easy to march. If we rashly marched to chase the Beitang rebels, we would only end up wasting our own troops.
Baili Haoxuan decisively gave the order to camp. He would camp in this camp and wait until the downpour passed before moving forward.
The right time, the right place, the right people, obviously.
Even though I am anxious and helpless, this is the only solution!
