After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 227 Even if the King of Hell comes, he can’t escape

In addition to the rapidly decreasing number of soldiers, the most critical problem was that the three gates were attacked at the same time, and the number of injured was rising rapidly. Not only was there a shortage of military doctors, but there was also a serious shortage of medicinal materials...

Among them, fifty people died in pain because their injuries were too severe and they could not get timely treatment due to the lack of medicine.

This scene, which was comparable to purgatory on earth, made Rong Qingzhu frown.

He knew that he was not good at martial arts, and even if he climbed up the city wall, he would not be able to help. So he took the initiative to get down from the wall and walked around the city, just to see if he could be of any help.

However, on the battlefield, he deeply realized what it meant to be a scholar who is completely useless.

He could neither defeat the enemy nor knew medical skills, so he could not save anyone. He could only watch the soldiers who were shot by arrows or had their arms chopped off screaming in pain due to the shortage of medicine.

Rong Qingzhu's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. This was the battlefield! It was not as light and airy as described by literati and poets. There were only countless pains and enemies.

The funniest thing is that the people who attacked Xi'an City were not from Western Chu or the Japanese, but their own army, the Great Zhou...attacking the Great Zhou!

Amidst the noisy noise, Rong Qingzhu somehow heard a weak and helpless voice. The other party was receiving treatment from a military doctor. Unfortunately, he was hit by three arrows, one of which hit him in the chest.

The moment it was pulled out, blood gushed out, even though Rong Qingzhu had tried his best to take out a lot of gauze and put it on the wound, trying to block the bleeding.

But...how could he heal the wound caused by the arrow in a vital part just because he wanted to?

Rong Qingzhu watched with his pale eyes as the man's face turned pale. His voice became softer and softer. He hurriedly held Rong Qingzhu's hand, thinking that he was a military doctor and told him his last words.

"If I die, can you help me give the pension to my wife? Last month she asked someone to write a letter to me saying that she had given birth to a lovely daughter. Unfortunately... I won't be able to see her anymore!"

As soon as the words fell, the hand dropped down, and Rong Qingzhu's hands and sleeves were stained with the other party's blood. The dazzling red seemed to be silently telling him -

A vibrant life is gone just like that!

Before his eyes, there was no breath.

The military doctor thought Rong Qingzhu was here to help. Seeing him staring blankly at the blood on his sleeve and the soldier who had just died and whose eyes were still open, he said without thinking, "Come and help!"

Rong Qingzhu went over to help reflexively. It was as if his brain had forgotten how to react. It was rusted and only instinct remained. He did whatever the military doctor told him to do.

The old military doctor has seen countless lives and deaths, and now he doesn’t feel too much when someone dies in front of him.

Maybe it's numbness, maybe it's... I've seen it too many times and I'm used to it.

In his opinion, instead of wasting time in daze, it would be better to save other people while there is still time!

"New here, right? Just watch it a few more times. People die here every once in a while. You have to get used to it."

Hearing this, Rong Qingzhu's eyes dimmed and he said, "I may... not be able to get used to it."

Before today, he had never imagined that human life could be so fragile, so fragile that a person could be gone in just a few words.

And...according to that man, he has a wife, children and a newborn baby at home!

"Being sentimental is the most common thing for young people of your age. It will get better after a few more times." The old military doctor didn't think there was anything strange about Rong Qingzhu's reaction.

But he did not try to comfort Rong Qingzhu too much because of her depressed mood.

Being busy will quickly make people forget the sadness of death. When people don’t even have the strength to raise their hands, let alone sadness, who has the time to be sentimental?

-

That night, as darkness fell, the thick ink color obscured many people moving in the darkness.

Chu Xi took fifty people and set off together with Zhou Yichen. Before leaving, he deliberately left Chu Er behind because the situation in Xi'an City was now critical and manpower was urgently needed.

Han Yaojun originally wanted Han Ziyu to go with Chu Jiang, not because he was worried about Chu Jiang, but the road ahead was dangerous and one more person would mean more protection.

However, Chu Xi refused. Now there were only 3,000 people left defending the South Gate. If the 1,000 people behind the gate were transferred up and Han Ziyu was given to her, they would have to face Qi Jianshu's 30,000 people...

The pressure will only grow greater. She is worried that before she can get reinforcements back, the city gate will no longer be able to hold!

The cover of night was a natural barrier, and Qi Jianshu focused all his attention on the siege, until he noticed that there seemed to be one missing person on the wall... the flamboyant Chu Jiangshi...

Chu Xi had already left with his men for an hour. They did not dare to ride horses, fearing that they would be too big to alert the enemy. They could only change into night clothes and move forward on foot.

Originally, Licheng, which is located in the direction of the east gate, is far away from Xi'an city, which would take a day and a night to reach there by horse at full speed. Now they are forced to give up riding horses. Even if they find an inn on the way and can buy a horse, it will probably delay the journey.

Therefore, Chu Xi couldn't be sure how long it would take to get reinforcements.

Qi Jianshu frowned slightly, his intuition told him that Chu Jiang would never sit and wait for death, and he was seen fighting on the city wall an hour ago, it was impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air!

"Oh no! They are going to ask for reinforcements!" He looked at the top of the south gate wall with sharp eyes.

Qi Jianshu's confidant beside him quickly replied, "General, don't worry. No matter which door they go through to ask for help, we have already prepared ambushes in advance. These people from the Great Zhou will not be able to escape even if they have wings!"

"Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy on the battlefield. Hasn't anyone told you that?" Qi Jianshu didn't like his confidant's attitude of underestimate the enemy, especially Chu Jiang.

As Chu Xunyang's grandson, he inherited the other's excellent martial arts, and he was worried that ordinary people would not be able to stop him.

"Yes, General." The confidant's scalp numbed when he saw Qi Jianshu's cold eyes.

Qi Jianshu began to speculate on Chu Jiang's thoughts, while trying to guess which direction she was most likely to go for help?

"However, General, haven't we already made preparations in advance? Even if they really want to call for reinforcements, there will be no more than a hundred people. More than that is impossible. It shouldn't be a problem for a few thousand people to kill a hundred people, right?"

Seeing that Qi Jianshu stopped talking, the confidant spoke cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Qi Jianshu's expression of alertness temporarily relaxed.

What the confidant said was indeed true. No matter how powerful Chu Jiang was, he was just one man!

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Besides, apart from Xianyang City which had been controlled by them, he had arranged three thousand ambush troops in the other three directions.

Whether considering the current scattered military forces in Xi'an city or the speed of seeking help, the number of people in the team sent out for help will not be too large.

A hundred people is considered too big a goal.

A hundred people against three thousand people, even if the King of Hell comes, he can't escape even if he has wings!
