Chapter 371, Purgatory on Earth
"Back to the third young lady, this person is a deputy general under Song Zhong. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Many of the defenders on the city tower are guards of the Yanwang Mansion, so naturally someone came to solve Lu Ruxue's doubts.
Lu Ruxue nodded at the guard as a sign of gratitude. took the "clairvoyant" and looked at the other party's array, asked a few more questions, and then went down the tower.
When she first bought "Clairvoyance", she was afraid that she never thought that there would be such a day. pressed the "flintlock pistol" in her arms again, which was given to her by Mu Xuanyang for self-defense after Song Yuma's incident.
He touched the dagger on his waist again. If the city is broken, how can he save his life by relying only on these three things. Therefore, if you stick to it for one more day, you will have more hope.
Song Zhong's army came from the north, and the forces of the north and east gates were significantly superior to those of the west and south gates. She asked the other party to arrange the troops, so that she could redeploy the troops.
Song Zhong led his troops to besiege the city, and King Yan soon received the news. ordered his son to lead the army to slow back, but was trapped on the Daning front line by the 200,000 troops led by the Duke of Weiguo.
"Father, if it drags on any longer, my son is worried that Beiping will be lost. "It's been a day and a night since I received the secret report. If they don't send troops again, when they slow down, Beiping City is only afraid that it has fallen.
Not only his mother, but also his wife and children were in the city. Mu Xuanyang was anxious, just looking forward to leading the army to set off immediately.
"Although Song Zhong has 50,000 soldiers and horses, the defenders of Beiping also have 10,000. The city is high and dangerous, and the generals defending the city have experienced a hundred battles, and your mother is here, so it will not fall easily. ”
King Yan is also in a hurry, but the army of the Duke of Wei Guo can compete with him, and the delay of King Lu and the acting king has not yet arrived. If the troops and horses are transferred to slow back, I am afraid that Daning will be lost.
At that time, he suffered from the enemy on his back, and this battle was now lost. I only hope that Beiping can hold out for a few more days, and if he redeploys, the chances of victory will be greater.
If it was a normal time, Mu Xuanyang would not be so anxious. He is a new father, and before he has time to look at his son, he will inevitably lose his cool.
King Yan's father and son were in full swing, rearranged their troops, and issued an emergency military report to borrow troops from King Lu and King Dai.
At this time, outside Beiping Mansion, there was already a sound of killing, and the "Eight Bull Crossbows" attacking the city in the distance were like javelins, nailed to the city wall in rows. The siege soldiers were not afraid of arrows, and they protected themselves with shields and attacked the city walls. I want to use these arrows and grappling hooks to climb the city wall.
Princess Yan ordered the defenders of the city to drop stones and rolling wood, and sprinkle hot oil to relieve the siege of the city.
Nearby, under the cover of the "rushing car", the archers pulled the strings and set up the arrows, and for a time the city wall was up and down, and the arrows were flying. The seriously wounded were constantly being carried down from the city walls by the "ambulance team".
Lu Ruxue stood in the Beicheng City Tower, such a magnificent bloody battle scene, I had only seen computer-synthesized special effects in theater TV before, but it was far less shocking than the real scene.
In addition to the sound of orders and shouts of killing, there were more screams of human life at the last moment, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
"War is a huge meat grinder for junior officers and soldiers," Lu Ruxue personally experienced the famous words of Marshal Zhukov of the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union.
What a "picture of purgatory on earth", in the face of such a war, her existence seems so small, and what she can do is very limited. Most of the seriously injured can be treated, but they may not be able to save their lives, after all, there are no surgeons here.
The lightly wounded, after being simply bandaged by the "ambulance team", continued to fight to the death. Lu Ruxue couldn't bear to see these cruelties, and took Caixing down the city tower.
But before he returned to the "War Readiness Medical Center", he saw flints falling from the air.
"Young lady be careful!" Caixing saw a flint and flew towards his master. screamed and pushed his master.
Lu Ruxue rushed forward and finally dodged.
"Young lady, it's too dangerous here. You'd better go home, and leave the affairs here to the slaves. ”
"No need. "Although it is dangerous here, at least you can grasp the situation of the battle, which is more reassuring than sitting in the house and waiting for news.
"Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire!" Song Zhong used a catapult poured with fire oil to throw a large amount of flint into the city, causing many fires and killing and injuring many people.
"Divide some people and go to all parts of the city to help save people and put out fires. Lu Ruxue ordered Lu Feng to arrange it himself.
She went into the "medical hall" to help the doctors treat the wounded. Cai Xing couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow his master.
This busy time is two hours, and I don't even bother to drink saliva. Until Mingjin withdrew his troops outside the city, the first wave of the offensive was suspended, but Lu Ruxue was still busy. Fortunately, the people of the city spontaneously went out to put out the fire, and the fire was quickly brought under control.
When Princess Yan came, she couldn't bear it when she saw the sweat on her third daughter-in-law's face.
"You child, you haven't been born yet, how can you work so hard. If you have something, just tell your minions to do it. He took the tea made by Cai Xing, but handed it to his daughter-in-law.
"Thank you, concubine!" Lu Ruxue was also thirsty, so she didn't care about the number of courtesies, so she took it and looked up.
"Cai Xing, go and make another cup of tea for the third young lady. Lu Ruxue drank three cups of tea in a row, and then she felt that her throat was no longer smoking. Sitting on the chair, Cailian rubbed her back and waist.
"The mother concubine has also been tired for a few hours, and the daughter-in-law ordered the house to prepare a nourishing medicinal meal, so she sent someone to send it to the mother concubine. ”
"Alright, don't be busy. The enemy is only temporarily retreating, and before nightfall, a second wave of attacks will be launched. ”
"I'll go back to the house to change my clothes and eat some by the way. I don't know how long I have to defend this battle, don't wait for the enemy to retreat, and exhaust yourself first. He told the four good students to wait.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will be busy for a while, and then she will go to rest. "Sent Princess Yan out of the hospital, and watched the palace guards escort her away. Lu Ruxue turned around and glanced at the city tower.
She didn't dare to climb the tower again, because she couldn't bear to see the corpses piled up more than a foot high in the moat outside the wall stained brown by human blood.
Human life is so fragile, this is only the first battle, and I don't know how many people's souls are broken. I don't know how many families have lost their fathers, brothers, sons and nephews. And the man who ordered the war sat in a high tent.
"Young lady, young lady!" Lu Ruxue was a little distracted, when she saw Lu Feng leading someone to carry a stretcher and run towards this side.
The person on the stretcher, Lu Ruxue, knew him and was a guard in the palace. Although Lu Ruxue built a war readiness medical center, there is no priority in saving people. But the minions of the palace still focus on saving the guards in these mansions first.
"Carry it in!" The arrow in the chest did not penetrate, and the bleeding was not much, so it should not have hurt the blood vessels and organs. However, surgery is still needed to remove the arrow.
Lu Ruxue is only a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and she is not very proficient in surgery. However, after two hours of busyness, I don't know how many such surgeries have been done. As long as she doesn't hurt her organs, she still has some options.
