Unconsciously, the Qin army had stormed Xinzheng for three days.

Fortunately, with the old general Lian Po in charge, he didn't let the Qin army have any chance to break the city.

Of course, in fact, there are not many temporary commands and adjustments made by the old general Lian Po on the top of the city tower, but as long as General Lian Po is there, the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhao army will be very stable.

But what everyone doesn't know is that behind this stability, General Lian is indeed supported by his life.

Although he was just sitting there, he had already gone to Lian Po with almost all of his energy.

General Lian Po, who was seriously wounded, was almost using his tenacious willpower to make a final fight against death.

Not for healing, but for a few more days to wait for the king to send his successor.

Although the old military doctor and the other military doctors had exhausted all means, no one could prevent the old general's body from collapsing visibly with the naked eye.

The wounds on the front chest and back not only did not scab over, but began to suppurate.

Obviously, the Qin army's arrows were not so fast, Rao is old military doctor had already stripped off all the rotten flesh visible to the naked eye when he pulled out the arrows, but because the arrows had been in the old general's body for too long, the germs had already spread.

In addition, the old general is old, his body functions have deteriorated, and his immunity has declined, even if the carrion is removed, it has not been able to prevent the infection of the old general's wounds.

Suppuration, which is the last thing all military doctors want to see.

You know, this is in the Warring States, and there is no such thing as antibiotics at all.

Faced with such a thorny problem as infection and suppuration, the only thing the doctor can do is to cut the wound again, remove the abscess, and defeat the disease with his own immunity.

Cut open the wound and remove the abscess.

It's simple, but how is the pain worse than the pain of the heart?

Not to mention, the old general has already experienced such a pain.

However, there is no way.

If left untreated, this untreated wound could cost General Lian Po his life in a very short time. More importantly, Lian Po knows very well that he can't fall yet!

As a result, the palace behind General Lian Po became a temporary medical station.

A battle without swords and swords immediately started in the palace amid the shouts of the two armies of Zhao and Qin.

It took more than half an hour for the old military doctor to completely cut off the abscesses in the front and back of the old general.

And the old military doctor who walked out of the palace had already soaked his clothes with sweat.

The old military doctor who wields the knife is still like this, let alone General Lian Po, who has a passive knife.

Several times of severe pain directly caused the old general to bite off the wooden stick in his mouth, Rao is so, the old general Lian Po still uses his tenacious perseverance to maintain his clarity.

Looking at the sweat that couldn't stop flowing on the old general's forehead, everyone even thought about knocking the old general unconscious.

It's just that, of course, Lian Po won't let such a thing happen.

He must return to his post as soon as possible, with absolute clarity and coolness, back to the great battle.

Finally, after more than half an hour of purgatory-like devastation, the old general was also bandaged again, then put on his armor, and slowly reappeared in front of the army.

It should be said that the old general's efforts were effective, and with his appearance, the morale of the Zhao army on the city wall was boosted again, and even the Qin army, which had finally rushed to the city wall, was driven back.

Looking at the Qin army who kept falling from the city wall, the old general also felt that his body didn't seem to hurt so much.

It's just that the human brain can sometimes deceive people.

But body temperature won't.

In the face of the new wounds, the immune cells in the old general's body completed the assembly again, and rushed towards the two wounds without hesitation.

It's just that those immune cells wielding a giant hammer obviously don't realize what a heavy burden their large-scale assembly is for an old man who is almost old.

Inevitably, the old general's body gradually became hot.

At first, the military doctor just thought that the beacon fire on the battlefield had warmed up the old general's body, until the old military doctor finally discovered General Lian Po's unusual ruddy complexion.

After a little more touch, the old general's forehead turned out to be a little hot.

As we all know, once the body temperature rises, the whole person will be in a very uncomfortable state, which is a warning from the brain - the temperature must be cooled immediately.

At such times, people will also subconsciously look for cool things, such as ice cubes.

But on the contrary, the old general just sat there motionless, and even continued to command the troops to fight without making a mistake.

God knows how the old general managed to hold out at such a high body temperature.

"Quick, get water from the well, it's cold." The old military doctor immediately commanded.

There is no way, it was on the battlefield again in that era, not to mention any antipyretics, even ice cubes were impossible things, and the only thing that could be used to cool down was well water.

The military doctors, who knew that they were powerful, also went downstairs one after another, and then rushed to the city tower with the cold well water.

A piece of cloth was thrown down, soaked, twisted into seven parts, and then applied to the old general's forehead, shoulders and neck.

It was so refreshing that it almost made the old general addicted to it.

In just one minute, the seven-point dry cloth has lost its coolness, which shows that the old general's body is seriously hot.

But no matter what, this bucket of cold well water finally relieved the old general's pain a little.

It's just that everyone knows that this is just a symptom but not a cure, and it can't even cure the symptoms.

The old general is still old after all, even if the body's immune cells have tried their best to mobilize all the troops, but in the face of the two bottomless wounds one after the other, the old general's immune army still seems a little insignificant after all.

Fortunately, just when the old general's internal immune army was about to completely collapse, the north gate of Xinzheng City was finally knocked on.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu Pegasus, who was wearing a military uniform, appeared in front of Lian Po.

Looking at the offensive and defensive battles in front of him, there was a look at the old general Lian who described him as withered, and there was anyone else Li Mu who didn't understand anything.

Immediately, Li Mu knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice to General Lian Po, "Old general, Mu is too late."

"Okay. It's good to come." Lian Po struggled to his feet, and then pointed to the sword that General Lian Po had been carrying by his side.

The deputy general on the side immediately handed the sword to General Lian Po.

Stroking the sword with both hands, Lian Po seemed to have returned to the time when he was galloping and fighting with it on the battlefield.

Looking at the Qin army in the distance, who continued to approach step by step with the beat of the drum, Lian Po knew that it was time to hand it over.

Immediately, General Lian Po also picked up the sword with great difficulty and handed it to Li Mu's hand.

It's a pity that just this one action has consumed almost all of General Lian Po's strength.

Fortunately, this one action alone is enough.

"Old general, rest assured, Xinzheng will not be lost, our king has made arrangements, this battle, our army will win!" Li Mu, who took the sword, immediately bowed again.

Hearing this, Lian Po seemed to have finally let go of the last big stone in his heart, and then closed his eyes slightly, seeing that the old general who was about to fall, but with the last of his strength, he said to the deputy general who was supporting him: "Go slowly, don't disturb the army."

From the beginning to the end, General Lian Po only had the word "army" in mind.

"Yes." The lieutenant immediately agreed beside him.

Immediately, under the support of a group of personal soldiers and military doctors, General Lian Po was slowly helped down the tower.

And the general of Zhao looked at the top of the city, the figure of the old general disappeared, and was replaced by the figure of General Li Mu, and inevitably, there was a burst of chaos in the military array.

It's not that Li Mu's prestige is so much worse than that of General Lian Po, in fact, in recent years, Li Mu has actually become the general of Zhao State, especially after several wars, Li Mu's prestige is second only to Zhao Kuo in the army.

It's just that at the moment of the war, there will be chaos in the end. What's more, why did the old general go down to the city tower, the soldiers also roughly guessed in their hearts, and naturally there was more worry in their hearts.

Therefore, such confusion can almost be said to be inevitable.

Qin Jun was not a vegetarian in the end, it was obviously just a momentary chaos, but he was caught by Qin Jun.

Fortunately, Li Mu obviously expected this, and immediately transferred the elite soldiers of the 3,000 reserve team, and personally led this reserve team to extinguish the fire everywhere.

It should be said that Li Mu's reaction was indeed swift, decisive and correct.

This personal action, firstly, drove the Qin army that took advantage of the situation to enter the city tower and ensured the safety of the city tower, and secondly, it also allowed himself to fully show his face in front of the soldiers and told all the soldiers that he, Li Mu, had taken over the Xinzheng city defense.

Sure enough, as Li Mu joined the battle, morale gradually rose.

The Qin army, which took advantage of the weakness, did not take much advantage, so they were sent down the city tower by Li Mu himself.

And as wave after wave of Qin troops were driven off the tower, the sunset finally burned out its last bit of brilliance, and the offensive and defensive battle on the third day also quietly ended in this thrilling and dangerous situation.

The Qin army slowly withdrew, and the Zhao army also died down.

The armies of the two countries are like two fierce beasts, each returning to their nests to lick this wound, preparing for the big battle in the coming day.

It's just that, compared to Qin Jun, this night, Zhao Jun is obviously more difficult to survive.

Without him, General Lian Po, who had always insisted on the front line of the battlefield, finally fell.

Just after walking down the tower, General Lian Po, who had completely let go of his heart, finally closed his heavy eyes.

Yes, he was too tired.

Seriously injured, he should have rested a long time ago.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he chose to persist without hesitation, and this insistence was three days and two nights until the end of his life.

Maybe General Lian Po is still lucky, even if it is like boiling oil with a lamp, General Lian Po finally waited for Li Mu's arrival at the last moment of his life.

It's a pity that General Lian Po is still unlucky, and he is just one war away from the unification of Zhao State.

But in the end, General Lian Po has no regrets......
