Chapter 59: The Battle of Shouyang Pass (4)

"Uhhhhhh

The barbarians did not beat the drums and march to Mingjin like the army in Zhongzhou, their attack and retreat were achieved by horns, and the difference between advance and retreat was only the rhythm.

The barbarian army on the city wall gave up the good situation and descended from the ladder one after another, of course, they were inevitably pursued by the defenders behind them. Chen Gui looked down from the mouth of the arrow battlement, and the barbarians retreated like a tide of siege equipment that had terrified the defenders.

It was completely dark.

A bonfire was lit on the city wall, and Hua Hu and his soldiers began to clean up the dead barbarians and the corpses of the defenders, while the other defenders spontaneously repaired the walls that had been damaged by stone-throwing.

When it was time for dinner, there was no one to eat, but the defenders were physically and mentally exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, and they were in dire need of energy. Hua Hu and Lei Xiao personally went to the city wall to distribute steamed buns and rice soup to the soldiers and comfort the wounded soldiers. By Lei Xiao's side, Chen Gui saw the young man who was dressed in white and made a big sword and claimed to be the "second son's retinue", Chen Gui and Song Daren stood up together to express their gratitude for saving his life.

"Everyone has the same hatred, and this is how it should be." The young man in white smiled.

At this moment, Chen Gui would not have thought that they would meet again on the battlefield many years later, but fate arranged them on the two opposing sides.

After Hua Hu finished distributing the food, he found a few strong soldiers to go down to the city and picked up dozens of jars of wine, and poured a bowl of wine for everyone to warm up.

"It's not good to drink if you're injured!"

Chen Gui looked up, Nangong Bai walked over, Chen Gui hurriedly got up, "Nangong Gongzi." ”

"You sit, I know a little about medicine, look at your injuries."

Chen Gui sat on the ground and unbuttoned his shirt, a hideous wound was exposed, and the flesh rolled outward, diagonally from his left chest to his right chest.

"This cold wind is blowing, and if you get frostbite, you will be in trouble." Nangong Bai muttered while examining the wound. After he said this, Chen Gui realized the coldness on his body, and the previous coldness was covered by the pain.

"I need to treat your wound, are you afraid of the pain?" Nangong Bai asked Chen Gui.

"Hey~ I've died once, what kind of pain are you afraid of?! Come on! ”

"Good!" Saying that, Nangong Bai asked Chen Gui to lie down first, he took out a vial from his arms, sprinkled the medicinal powder inside along the wound, and then took out a dagger from his waist and burned it on the bonfire. Chen Gui seemed to know what Nangong Bai was going to do, but he didn't say anything or stop.

The dagger in Nangong Bai's hand was already burning red, "You hold back." ”

Chen Gui nodded, and Nangong Bai burned the red dagger along the wound, and the wound made a "zizi" sound, which was the skin and flesh near the wound being burned. Chen Gui bit the wooden stick that Nangong Bai gave him in advance, his teeth were clenched, a low roar came out of his throat, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, but the beads of sweat in the cold winter wax moon couldn't stop flowing down, and he almost fainted from the pain.

Song Daren on the side was dumbfounded, and cold sweat flowed.

"General Hua Hu, do you know the origin of this Nangong Bai?" Lei Xiao, who had been watching, suddenly asked Hua Hu.

"I don't know, the eldest son only said that he was a friend."

"This kind of rapid treatment of injuries can never be mastered by a noble son, because the injured have to endure great pain, so this kind of therapy is usually used in helpless and extremely harsh conditions, and the people who will use this method are generally some veterans and outlaw mercenaries, and his methods are obviously very skilled." Lei Xiao has been mixed in various battlefields all year round, and his experience is naturally not comparable to that of a prince like Bai Lang, who grew up in the deep palace. After Lei Xiao's words, Bai Lang also seemed to be interested, and turned his head to look at Nangong Bai's injury.

"I'm more interested in that Chen Gui, so I didn't snort, if he can survive this battle, I will promote him to be a thousand-commander!" Hua Hu, as the real general of Shouyang Pass, obviously focuses on Lei Xiao and them.

Over there, Nangong Bai had already helped Chen Gui take care of his wounds and walked over to Lei Xiao and the others.

"Why didn't I see you when the barbarians attacked the city today, but now that the barbarians have retreated, you have come out!" Lei Xiao was obviously still worried about Nangong Bai's rectification of his affairs, and he made remarks to squeeze him as soon as they met.

Nangong Bai gently dusted off the non-existent dust on his body with his hand, "Just leave these brave and ruthless things to you martial artists, how can I, as a noble troubadour, stain those filthy blood." ”

"You-" Lei Xiao was about to kick Nangong Bai, but was pulled by Bai Lang next to him, Lei Xiao looked at Bai Lang in surprise, as if since he rescued him, Bai Lang's personality has converged a lot, and he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son. ”

Nangong Bai came from the direction of the high-pitched singing, Lei Xiao had heard it, this is a poem called "Comrade" in the "Poetry Style" of the previous dynasty, which tells the righteousness of the soldiers of the border fortress who hated the enemy and killed the enemy side by side.

Nangong Bai sang it several times, and the song spread far away in the desolate city pass.

In the darkness of the night, all three armies fell silent.
