Chapter 496: Siege
Xu Xuan chased out the door, where did he still see his own lady? He couldn't help sighing, with Bai Suzhen's words, it is estimated that he really doesn't want to let himself see it, standing opposite him Xu Xuan, he is probably blind.
Most of the seriously ill patients were carried into the corner tower, but at this time, the lightly injured patients on the city wall had already piled up, there was no way, there were only a few doctors outside, so many injured people, how could they be treated?
Xu Xuan gave up looking for Bai Suzhen, his own lady is not that weak woman, and she can't run out of Suzhou City, instead of trying to find it, it is better to treat the disease and save people in a down-to-earth manner at the moment, he put down the medicine box at the moment, and the injured next to him saw Xu Xuan coming, and immediately surrounded him, at this time, most of the wounded outside were sword injuries, thanks to the Great Song Dynasty's armor, although everyone looked bloody, but the wounds were generally not too deep, Xu Xuan prepared the instruments and began to bandage and suture the lightly injured patients, he just cleaned up the wound of an injured person, turned around and saw that the needle and thread he had prepared had long been used up, and now his hands were covered with blood, but it was not good to thread the silk thread into the needle.
"Official, give!" The glutinous voice sounded, and I saw a pair of white and tender hands, handing him the needlework instrument.
Xu Xuan looked back, only to see his own lady standing beside him, sighed at the moment, took the instrument and began to stitch the wounded soldier, but said on the other hand, "Lady, I know that you are strong, on this battlefield, you are much safer than me, and I also know that you are not worried that I am here, and you want to be by my side, but the sword has no eyes on this battlefield, and you are now pregnant, if there is a mistake, then how can it be good?" ”
Bai Suzhen lowered her head, handed Xu Xuan the equipment, and said in a low voice, "The officials are unwilling to let me get into danger, I know it, but you are on this city wall, let me be alone at home, how can I stay at ease?" ”
Xu Xuan glanced at his mother-in-law, but saw that Bai Suzhen was not dodging at this time, with a pair of black eyes, looking at herself affectionately but firmly. Xu Xuan smiled bitterly, "That's it, since you want to stay here, lady, just stay here."
"That Doctor Xu, can you stitch it up" At this time, the wounded soldier on the side looked at the wound on his chest and abdomen with a pale face, and asked tremblingly.
"Huh?" Xu Xuan realized that he had only half stitched up the wounded soldier's wound, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, stitch it up immediately."
Bai Suzhen on the side laughed softly.
The war does not stop with a small setback, especially now the desperate Tartars.
Now they are trapped in this part of Suzhou, it is impossible to go south, but there is a little shortage of grain and grass to retreat, in order to avoid the Han mutiny, but also for the army commander that takes a risk, maybe Suzhou City can really be captured? Therefore, this siege is not the same as before, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, plus the middle and senior generals of the signing army are either killed or captured, and there is no previous situation of yang and yin.
It's just that Xu Xuan rescued Wu Fugui for a while, and the rumbling war drums on the battlefield sounded again. I saw that the army that had been reorganized and reorganized moved the siege equipment out again, and slowly attacked the city wall.
"Divine Arm Bow, Ready!" The Song army officers on the city wall began to shout, only to see a bow and crossbow hung on the string, aiming at the signing troops under the city.
Looking at the signing army that was getting closer and closer, the Song army officer on the city wall took a breath and shouted, "Divine arm bow, shoot!" ”
Looking from afar, I saw that the soldiers on the city wall were all just stunned, and then a dull sound came, and dense arrows rose from the city like dark clouds, and then flew towards the signatories on the opposite side.
"Raise your shield!" The signatories are also fighting old battles, as the army of the Great Song Dynasty, they are naturally familiar with the tactics of the Song army, and under the reprimand of the officers in the army, a cowhide shield was raised, and the whole team was suddenly protected by a black shield.
However, they were too close to the city wall, and the penetrating power of the Divine Arm Bow was completely revealed at this time, and the wooden shield covered with cowhide was instantly pierced by the Divine Arm Bow, and the arrow carried the still fierce kinetic energy, and pierced into the body of the person behind the wooden shield, and there was a dull popping sound, and the dense team instantly appeared blank.
The Tartar generals who were pressing the formation behind the signing army glanced at the Suzhou city wall in the distance and waved his hand, "Come on, shoot an arrow at the city, let these southerners see what a real shooter is!" ”
"Yes" The officer behind him stroked his chest and retreated, and then the tartar on horseback took off the longbow behind his back, bent the bow and arrows, and threw it at the wall under the officer's order.
Since the siege of the city by the signing army, perhaps because of the lack of arrows, or maybe the signing army can't pull away the strong bow, or maybe the other party's generals don't want to fight to the death with the Song army, so the defenders of Suzhou City have never faced the opponent's bow and arrow, but now they are suddenly thrown by the bow and arrow thrown by the Tartars, and the city wall suddenly fell!
The officer of the defenders of the southern city, looking at the already small number of defenders on the city wall, suddenly fell by a quarter, and suddenly became a little in a hurry. He was just the deputy of Wudu Tou before, and he was usually trained as a soldier, but now he was allowed to take charge alone, and he was a little overwhelmed in the face of such a dangerous situation in front of him.
"Bring the wounded over, continue to hold on to their positions without injury, who is that, don't we still have a shield? Send this shield to the front," Xu Xuan looked a little anxious, and shouted at the officer.
"Oh, yes, come on, carry the wounded to Dr. Xu, go to the city and bring me all the shields." The officer woke up from a dream and hurriedly ordered the people who were waiting on the city wall.
Looking at the signing army under the city that was getting closer and closer, and the wounded who were groaning on the city wall, the officer smiled bitterly at Xu Xuan, "Wudu is hiding quietly, how can this situation be good now!" ”
"Official, I'm afraid that this city can't be defended at the moment, and when the city is broken in a while, you have to follow me" Bai Suzhen, who was helping Xu Xuan prepare surgical instruments, suddenly whispered.
Xu Xuan looked at the soldiers on the city wall, but shook his head, "Maybe, but until the last moment, I am unwilling after all." ”
Looking at Bai Suzhen's nervous expression on the side, Xu Xuan patted her arm, "Lady, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I don't want to die yet, don't worry, if this city can't be defended, I will naturally follow you." ”
Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that her family officials would be like Lin'an, and if she had the idea of fighting to the death with this Suzhou City, and she was not around, it would be really troublesome. So she endured the blood of the army in front of her, and ran to the city to accompany Xu Xuan, at this time, seeing that the situation was bad, she secretly made up her mind that if it was really impossible to do anything, it would knock Xu Xuan unconscious, and she would have to take him out of Suzhou City.
