Chapter 92: Embarrassment in Changing Dressings
The battle of the town of Solad entered its fourth day. Britney was appointed by Koya as the acting team leader and led the swordsman team to the defensive line. Although Britney was unwilling, she had no way to disobey her master's order.
Judy, on the other hand, stayed behind to take care of the injured Koya.
Outside in the town, there was another sound of arrows falling from the rain. Laya lay on the bed and said, "The enemy's attack has begun! Yesterday they lost the main force of the cavalry, and today they will definitely come back with a frenzied revenge." Today's battle is bound to be even more intense!"
Judy sat on the edge of the bed, looking thoughtful, and only hummed when she heard the words, not knowing what was going on in her heart. Koya just cared about the battlefield and listened to it. After a while, the sound of the orderly footsteps of the enemy soldiers could be heard in the distance. It seems that the general offensive of the infantry has also begun.
Keya had already learned at this moment that in the first battle yesterday, the Imperial defenders had lost at least 20,000 combatants. Today, only 40,000 soldiers have actually taken up arms and gone into battle. Of course, the enemy's losses were much heavier. Not only was the main cavalry force wiped out. The infantry was also reduced by 20,000 or 30,000 men. An army of 200,000 sent from the beginning of the war is now a little more than 100,000. And as long as the emperor [***] people persist today, then the task has been completed. When he heard the shouts outside, he wanted to get up and go to the battle. It's just that...... He looked at his legs, albeit with a simple treatment. But if you want to be all right, it will take at least ten days. There are no high-level magicians in the army, so there is no way to use recovery magic to quickly heal external injuries. Even if he had the heart to kill the enemy, he wouldn't have the ability to do so now.
The shouts of killing have reached the front of the town, and the battle has finally begun! Koya lay on the bed in a very uneasy heart, and had to sigh constantly. When Judy saw it, she suddenly smiled lightly and said, "I usually don't see that you are so desperate to fight." Now that you can't participate in the battle, don't you feel very uncomfortable?"
Keya had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Do you think I am willing to kill people? If it weren't for the enemy invading our motherland and slaughtering our people, I would still be in the academy now! In this war, we are just, for faith and survival." That's why I'm working so hard for this!"
Judy snorted and said, "I know, the country and the goddess, are above all else in your heart. For this, you don't take your life seriously. But ......" she wanted to say something, but she endured it and finally didn't say it. After a while, she went out and got a few things and came back, walked to the bedside, and put them beside Koya one by one.
When Keya saw those things, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "What are you doing with these things?"
Judy said, "What else can I do?
Keya Khan said busily: "No...... No, I'll have her help me change it when Britney comes back. This thing, you ...... You're not too convenient!"
Judy bit her lip and said, "This is what Teacher Britney specially told me before leaving, in case she dies on the battlefield and can't come back, don't I have to change it?"
Keya was speechless for a while, although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't know how to refuse. And Judy added in a whisper: "Now I know that I am shy? Where did the courage on the battlefield run yesterday? Besides, I haven't seen it." When I treated you yesterday, I ...... I've seen it. ”
Keya was even more embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Really......? Embarrassed. In fact, you can ask a man to do this. ”
Judy bit her lip again, reached out and grabbed the dress that covered Keya's leg, and said softly, "All the men in the army who can move have gone to the battlefield. The rest, half-dead and wounded. There were a few medics, but all of them were women. Do you want them to change your dressing, or do you want me to come?"
Keya thought to himself, "You know me so well, it's no wonder I'm embarrassed, it's better to let those unknown medics help me change." He was about to say that, but it was too late. I felt a chill on my lower body, and the dress had been gently lifted away by Judy.
Keya groaned in his heart, and secretly screamed, "Don't!" But the ugliness of his lower body has been exposed. He had no choice but to close his eyes and think, "That's it! Anyway, in the middle of the war, the wounded people are not so particular." You have to change it, then change it!"
It's just that after a long time, Keya didn't feel any movement in his legs, and couldn't help but open his eyes strangely. saw Judy's blushing little face, although she was very shy, she stared at her without blinking.
Koya's face turned red, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Huh?" Judy woke up suddenly, ashamed, and hurriedly reached for the bandage wrapped around Koya's leg. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched Keya's wound. Koya exclaimed, "Wow!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Judy was even more flustered, and untied the knot on the bandage with both hands for a long time. Ke Ya only smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, or ...... Call a medic to help me change?"
Judy took a deep breath, but instead calmed down, and said, "No! I can do it!" and she relaxed her hand, slowly untied the bandage slipknot, and then took it off in a circle.
At this time, Keya also wanted to see how injured he was. Then he said, "Judy, help me up." I'll see what the injury is like. ”
Judy sighed and hurriedly picked up Koya's upper body. Keya looked down, but saw that there was a knife wound about two inches long on the inner thigh, only two finger widths away from the vital part. At this moment, the bleeding has stopped, and the wound is already blurred hemostatic and muscle-building powder, and it is impossible to see how deep the wound is. It's just that the pain is so abnormal that he can't even sit up.
With such a serious injury, it seems that there is really no way to participate in the battle in the short term. Ke Ya sighed and laughed at himself: "It's a good fortune teller, otherwise, after I go back, I will be qualified to enter the palace to be a eunuch!"
Judy couldn't help but laugh "sneering", so she had to give Keya a a blank look, and said angrily: "It's all hurt like this, and you're still in the mood to laugh? Lie down, I'll help you change the dressing!"
Since this is all the case, Keya's heart is calm. After he was helped by Judy to lie down slowly, he smiled and said, "Then be lighter, I have a lot of pain there." ”
"Got it!" Judy's initial shyness calmed down. He let go of Koya, picked up a small bottle of disinfectant potion, and began to rinse Koya's wounds.
"Ouch, why does it hurt so much?"
"Anti-inflammatory water! It's a little exciting, of course it hurts, bear with it!"
"Hey, your hands...... You've run into me!"
“...... It's so close, can you not bump into it? A big man, what's it called?"
"No, I...... I ......"
"Huh! You...... I hate it, and I ...... to be so badly injured."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't want this!"
“......”
After detoxifying the wound, re-sprinkling hemostatic and muscle-building powder, and then changing a bandage to bandage it, most of the time has passed. The shouts of killing outside still resounded throughout the town.
Keya listened for a while, his heart was anxious, and he said, "Judy, you go out and see what the battle situation is now." Judy gathered her things, mumbled and walked out.
After a while, she walked back and said, "The battle was very fierce, and the enemy was almost desperate. The fighters had retreated to the line and were stubbornly holding back at the entrances. However, I saw that the casualties were very high, and a large number of seriously wounded soldiers were constantly being carried out, and there were constantly reserves to replenish them. According to this method of fighting, before noon, our army will have no reserves. Only if I have exhausted my old book, I just want to delay for a moment more!"
"Really?" Keya was also very anxious when he heard this, and said, "The enemy must understand that as long as our army holds out until dark, General Buck's main force can return to Yanjing before them. Today's battle is their last chance, of course, they have to fight hard. I just don't know where General Barker's main force is now, and I hope they can hurry up, as long as they can return safely. Then our bloody fight will make sense!"
At this moment, Barker's three armies and millions of refugees had retreated to a place still sixty miles away from Yanjing. Although as long as you rush with all your might, the main force can return to Yanjing within a day. But the millions of refugees who dragged their families and were in chaos and had no way to command them walked at a very slow pace. In addition, there were more than 100,000 Tandax pursuers behind him, and it took a lot of time to stop and stop all the way.
General Buck was also very anxious, the fourth army in the town of Sorad in the northwest fought very fiercely, and the defense of the city of Dokaron in the east was also bloody. And in order to protect these millions of refugees, I really can't divide my troops to go out to support the war. Otherwise, the enemy pursues the soldiers and comes up for a decisive battle, and he is not sure that he will be able to resist it.
At this moment, there was a sudden dust in front of the road, and it seemed that an army was rushing here. It was from the direction of Yanjing, and General Buck was not sure whether the comers were friends or foes, so he hurriedly ordered the First Army to quickly catch up and prepare for battle.
It's just that after a while, he has clearly seen that the incoming army is flying the angry lion banner symbolizing the imperial family, and it turns out that it is actually the receiving force sent by Yanjing.
Buck was overjoyed and surprised in his heart, thinking to himself that Yanjing did not have many troops in the first place, so why did he send a large army to meet us at this time? With this effort, it is better to go to reinforce the town of Solad or the city of Dokaron, where the support of the troops is most needed!
Thinking of this, he slapped his horse and went up to meet him, and sure enough, he was greeted by a cavalry of the Royal Guard. It's just that after the cavalry, there are one carriage after another. Military, civilian, new, old, everything. Stretching for miles, it turned out to be a huge convoy.
At this time, the royal cavalry was already galloping closer, and one of the generals led by Lao Yuan shouted: "General, on the orders of Your Majesty, the Royal Cavalry Regiment is here to greet you! Welcome back to Yanjing!"
The cavalry arrived in an instant, and General Buck urged him to go forward, first saluted a standard military salute, and then said with a smile: "Commander Charlotte, it's been a long time! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and thank you for the welcome of the Royal Cavalry Regiment." Just, what's going on with those carriages behind you?"
All the cavalry of the cavalry regiment stopped their galloping horses, and the first general, who was about forty years old, also saluted in return and said, "General, this is the carriage that Your Majesty ordered us to collect in Quanyanjing. We have almost all the carriages in Yanjing City, a total of 2,152 wagons, each of which can squeeze at least seven or eight refugees. His Majesty ordered that in order to speed up the march, all efforts should be made to rush back to Yanjing. All the old, weak, sick and disabled people among the refugees, as well as those with reduced mobility, were transported back to Yanjing in horse-drawn carriages. The rest of those who are capable of moving, abandon all their belongings, speed up their pace, and hurry overnight, and be sure to withdraw to Yanjing tomorrow by day!"
Buck was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Great! It turns out that these carriages are used to transport refugees! I am worried that they are moving too slowly, but it seems that Your Majesty has thought about it thoughtfully!"
The knight commander said, "General, time is pressing, so don't wait. Let's get the refugees on board immediately!"
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
Under the persuasion of the soldiers, the refugees cried despite the separation of their relatives. But in order to survive, the big boarding began. General Buck was overjoyed to think that he could return to Yanjing early. But it suddenly occurred to him that since he was able to speed up the march, I had another royal army here. Then I can already dedicate some of my forces to support the fighting elsewhere.
Thinking of this, he immediately stretched out his hand to summon the commander of the First Army, Haxa, and said, "Haxa, according to this situation, our army should be able to rush back to Yanjing during the day tomorrow." Then the top priority now is how to withdraw the main forces of our army that are fighting on both sides. To the east, the city of Dokaron is too far away from here for us to support for a while. Moreover, even if the city of Dokaren was captured by the enemy, they would not be able to catch up with the city of Yanjing in five or six days, and the battle of our Fourth Army in the northwest was not. If they hold out for less than four days, then the enemy army will be able to attack Yanjing in one day. If millions of our refugees were entering the city at that time, this fight would have been chaotic, and the casualties would be incalculable. Therefore, the battle to reinforce the town of Solad is now the top priority of our army's operation. I order you to assemble at once all the main cavalry forces of the First and Second Armies into a single support corps. Hurry up and make sure to cross the Panzu Mountains and reach the town of Sorad before dark. With the reinforcements of your cavalry, the battle at Sorad will be able to last another day or two. As long as it's tomorrow night, you can organize an orderly withdrawal of troops from the battle with Higgins. And I will personally lead the troops to prevent the Tandax pursuers from approaching the city of Yanjing. When the time comes, our two armies will meet, and then return to Yanjing City to fight this battle to defend the capital!"
"Yes!
It was already afternoon, and the fighting in the town of Sorad was still going on. The army of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom broke through the defenses of the defenders of the Pangsin Empire several times, but was defeated by a small force.
This strong small army is the swordsman team led by Britney. At this moment, Britney is covered in blood and has multiple injuries on her body. But he still commands the squad, and wherever there is danger, he will block it.
After fighting for most of the day, there were only about twenty people left alive in the swordsman squad at the moment. At this moment, all the officers and men of the Fourth Army, including the army commander Higgins, have all been engaged in the battle.
The battle was extremely tragic, and at every moment, a large number of imperial soldiers were martyred! But the troops of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom were not much better, and their casualties were even more serious than those of the Pangsin Empire. The corpses piled up at the entrance of the town can be used as cover. The blood flowed within a radius of hundreds of paces, and it was muddy. Some of the blood even merged into a small stream, which zigzagged into the river of Liujin. In less than a short time, half of the Liujin River had been dyed red.
With such a large number of casualties, it took four whole days to fight for four days, and even half of the town could not be occupied. This made the Duke of Wen Khan, the commander of King Zhuang Khan's [***], angry and heartbroken. He kept howling: "Hit me! Kill them all! I still don't believe it, my 200,000 troops will be blocked here by him with a mere 50,000 people! Order the troops, charge me to death, kill all their men, and avenge our cavalrymen who died heroically!"
With this order from the commander, the army of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom rushed even more fiercely! The defenders guarding the front line of the town entrance gradually could no longer support it. Seeing this, Commander Higgins ordered his troops to retreat to the second line of defense, taking advantage of the narrow ground in the town to reduce the enemy's attack point.
The battle turned into a street battle again! Pang Xindi's [***] team abandoned half of the town and defended the other half, resolutely not allowing the enemy to come over and kill a single soldier.
Hearing that the sound of battle had sounded in the town, Keya couldn't help but say anxiously, "Not good! Has the enemy already invaded the town? Judy, go and see, how is the battle going now?"
This was the eighth time that Koya had asked Judy to go out to watch the battle, and Judy didn't get bored and quickly ran out. After a while, he ran back and said, "Keya, the enemy has indeed attacked the town. Our troops are in the second line of defense, blocking enemy attacks. ”
"Really?" Koya was anxious and uneasy. The battle was fought to this extent, and he was injured again and could not go out to kill the enemy. This made him feel so annoyed.
Suddenly, Keya said to Judy, "Judy, come and pick me up, let's go to the roof!"
Judy was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing on the roof?"
"Take part in the battle!"
"Fighting? Are you crazy? You're wounded, how can you fight?"
"Don't worry about it so much, just come and carry me up to the roof!"
"No! I promised Britney to take good care of you, I can't let you do such a risky thing!"
"You!" Seeing that the work could not be done, Keya gritted his teeth and propped himself up from the bed, and said, "Okay! If you don't hug me, I'll climb up by myself!"
"Oops, what are you doing?" Judy saw this, and immediately became anxious, and hurriedly came over and held down Keya. Keya endured the sharp pain in his crotch, grabbed Judy's hand, and said seriously: "Judy, once the enemy captures the whole town, we will all die! I'm going to die in battle!"
Judy's eyes suddenly moistened, she stayed for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's both die together!"
Judy stretched out her hands and gently picked up Keya. The house they were in was a two-story stone building. As soon as I got to the roof, the shouts outside became louder. Feathered arrows flew wildly, weapons rang out.
Judy bent over and carried Keya to the top of the building. When Keya saw it, he was about fifty paces ahead of him. The battle to grab a street corner is raging. A man in the costume of an enemy squadron leader, wielding a sword, commanded his subordinates to launch a fierce attack on the defensive line at the entrance of the defenders' street.
Ke Ya didn't think about it, the thumb of his right hand rubbed on the other four fingers, and a thin Douqi knife instantly condensed. With a flick of his hand, the Douqi Knife immediately spun at high speed and flew towards the enemy squadron leader.
The Douqi Knife seemed to be slow and fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had spun at high speed and swept past the squadron leader's neck. The leader of the enemy squadron was holding his sword aloft when suddenly, he stood still.
Under the sunlight, the white fighting spirit could not be seen clearly. Almost no one knew that the squadron leader was dead, and one of the enemy soldiers was even shouting to him: "Report to the captain, the enemy is stubborn, I ...... ......Speaking of this, he was shocked to see a blood line suddenly appear on the squadron leader's neck, and then his entire head slid flat out of his neck and fell down all at once. That's when his blood began to spurt wildly!
The enemy soldier was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and only called out "Oh my mother!" and turned around and ran.
At this time, the second Douqi knife had already spun down from the upper floor. With a "bang", another squad leader hit the ground with his head. Keya's flying knives were one after another, completely at the expense of his own force. There were about a thousand soldiers from the Zhuang Khan Kingdom who were attacking, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen officers had inexplicably fallen to the ground.
The troops lost all their commanders at once, and the more than 1,000 soldiers were at a loss for what to do, and they became a mess, shouting "There are ghosts!" again and again, while the two or three hundred defenders of the Pang Xin Empire were in great spirits, and under the leadership of a small team leader, they jumped out of the defense line and fought a counterattack. For a time, a force of more than 1,000 people was rushed by two or three hundred people to lose their armor and flee in rout!
Keya saw it on the top of the building, and couldn't help laughing happily! But he couldn't laugh twice, he frowned again, and said bitterly: "Mom! The wound hurts so much while squatting, help me sit down!"
Judy smiled, and Koya sat him on her lap. Then he wrapped his arms around his waist, put his face on his back, and said very lightly, "Keya, do you know......? I like you!"
It's a pity that Keya didn't hear it, he was on a high place, and he had already seen another large group of soldiers of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom killing this small street, and hurriedly shouted below: "Don't chase! Enemy reinforcements have arrived, quickly retreat to the defensive line!"
It was only then that the defenders discovered Koya's presence. A squad leader raised his head and saw that the person upstairs was none other than Captain Keya, a warrior who had been recited everywhere in the army for the past two days, and immediately understood that the inexplicable death of the enemy's commanders just now was exactly what he did. Immediately saluted the one upstairs and said loudly, "Captain Keya, thank you!"
While enduring the pain in his crotch, Keya saluted and said, "You're welcome!"
