The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 124
"How does it feel?"
Luo Yueli chuckled, her lips were a little chapped, and she was faintly soaked in blood:
"It doesn't hurt as much as it did in the afternoon."
After exhausting, Luo Yueli was able to eat, and when he woke up, the people outside brought some clear porridge, Luo Yueli also knew that he had to eat even if he had no appetite, and only after he ate half a bowl of porridge did he shake his head:
"Tell me about the situation outside."
Ning Qi frowned slightly, without the slightest concealment, and told the battle situation outside in the afternoon and his plans for tomorrow, Luo Yueli pressed his hand on the wound in his abdomen, and listened to him with his eyes closed gently, and when Ning Qi stopped, he paused for a moment before speaking:
"Adventurous enough."
Ning Ji didn't refute, even if he had TNT in his hands, it would indeed be a very risky move to go out of the city under a situation like tomorrow.
But Luo Yueli also understood Ning Yao's plan, this is 40,000 people, not 4,000, and the strength of five times that of Youzhou will not be delayed for long, once they run out of gunpowder, they will immediately fall into a crisis.
And at this moment, although the battle report from Yan Yunzhou's side has not yet come, the pressure on him can be imagined, even if he wins, he will have to pay the price:
"Bet, let's bet this time."
When Yan Yunzhou's army in front arrived at Liangjia Mountain, it was already dark, and Yan Yunzhou was in a hurry to govern the army, as long as he gave an order, the generals under him would spare no effort to carry it out.
The army became a long snake, but it marched like the long snake formation that Yan Yunzhou had rehearsed before, and as long as Lu Liang's people tried to cut it off, there would be people who would fill the position.
In this way, the team was stunned and did not disperse, until it reached Liangjia Mountain, Lu Liang's people had all surrounded it, and the original encirclement of Yan Yunzhou's army had become a tail chasing behind the long snake at this moment, and Yan Yunzhou's side closed its flanks, just to lead the Chinese army scattered in the encirclement to one place.
Yan Yunzhou's face was pale, but his eyes were as cold as ice, he turned his head to look at the people behind him who were surging up, and finally spoke:
"Drum beating."
With the sound of drums, the firearms battalion really came to the moment when it should play its role, Yan Yunzhou had ordered the firearms battalion to be postponed, and the firearms battalion that was originally at the tail immediately turned its direction at this moment, the gunpowder fuse in his hand had been ignited, and one by one the gunpowder beckoned to Lu Liangzhongjun behind him.
The sky was dark, in the dark night sky, the ignited gunpowder was like a life-urging charm towards everyone, the sky was full of firelight, the roar in the ears, the screams were endless, the two mountains were towering mountains on both sides, and the tragic battle in the valley had just begun.
And Lu Liang only realized at this moment what Yan Yunzhou's "crazy escape" was for.
The soldiers who converged into a line were just trying to bring together the Chinese army that he had spread into a net, but at this moment he realized that it was too late to plan the middle plan, this valley was long and narrow, and it was too late to retreat at this moment.
There is only one way to pounce upwards, and Lu Liang has already killed the red eye, as long as his people and Yan Yunzhou's people are fighting together, their gunpowder will not be able to exert such a big advantage:
"Go up, rush, rush into their ranks."
Yan Yunzhou coughed sideways, he didn't expect that gunpowder alone could really destroy Lu Liang's Chinese army, he knew the power of this gunpowder, it couldn't kill everyone.
But its deterrent power is incomparable, what he wants is for Lu Liang to panic, and what he wants is for the other party's people to flee with their heads in their hands.
Yan Yunzhou's originally pale face was already sickly red at the moment, holding a spear that had been soaked in blood into a dark red in his hand, and the mount seemed to feel the master's eagerness to fight, the horse's hooves kept moving, Yan Yunzhou's spear was pointed directly at Lu Liang, and the voice could clearly come out from the shouting of killing:
"Kill with this king, and those who get the head of Lu Liang will be rewarded with a thousand taels."
The bravery of the main general on the battlefield determined the morale of the soldiers below, Yan Yunzhou took the lead, he and Li Yan divided their troops, and strangled the Lu Liangzhong army, which was already in chaos.
In the valley, the snow that had not yet completely melted had been dyed red, and the night had passed, and hundreds of thousands of people had not stopped.
In the second half of the night, Lu Liang's army had already retreated, but this time Yan Yunzhou did not let them go easily.
The pursuit stretched for more than ten miles, and Lu Liang was already like a lost dog at the moment, his hair had already been scattered, and the injury on his shoulder made him dare not move one arm, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
It wasn't until the sky was getting brighter, and the generals on both sides were already tired, that Yan Yunzhou gave up the pursuit, the poor Kou Mo chased, Lu Liang's people were tired, and their people were the same, so it was no longer appropriate to pursue at this moment.
Yan Yunzhou's eyes were full of flowers, and Dark Xuan was protecting him every step of the way, and Li Yan also saw that his condition was wrong:
"Brother Yan?"
Yan Yunzhou's hand clutched the reins so that he didn't fall off the horse, his lips were chapped, but his cheeks were red, and Dark Xuan knew that he must have a fever:
"Your Highness, take care of the aftermath."
Fortunately, this time they didn't have to camp outside, and the army retreated to Luoshui Town, although this town is not big, but fortunately, there are houses to cover it, which is a hundred times stronger than camping outside.
In this battle, they won completely, not like the morale won last time, this time Lu Liang's Chinese army was really scrapped, the counterattack of the whole army, and the rolling and falling heads, this is not false.
Yan Yunzhou was half-carried back to the house by Dark Xuan, Yang Sheng had been guarding Luoshui Town, and immediately arrived at Yan Yunzhou's courtyard.
Yan Yunzhou's cough couldn't stop, yesterday's arrow made his entire left arm a little unable to lift at the moment, secretly anxious, Yan Yunzhou raised his eyes with his spirit:
"Youzhou, come, is there any letter?"
Dark Xuan knew that Yan Yunzhou would inevitably ask as long as he rested, but at this moment, he could only shake his head:
"Not yet."
Yan Yunzhou's face darkened a lot, yes, Xiaobai was still with him, and the battle report sent over last time only said that they had fought with Lu Liang, and Ning Ji and Luo Yueli probably didn't know that they were settled in Luoshui Town at the moment.
"Ahem, prepare pen and ink."
For the first time, Dark Xuan disobeyed Yan Yunzhou's order:
"Lord Wang, you take a look at the wound first, if Ning Gongzi is here, can you explain it now?"
Yang Sheng helped Yan Yunzhou retreat the wounds on his body, he couldn't take medicine on an empty stomach, but fortunately, the conditions were much better when he arrived in this Luoshui Town, the cook's kitchen in the mayor's mansion was ready-made, and the food prepared was always better than before.
Yan Yunzhou ate and took medicine, almost another day and a night of fighting made him almost exhausted, but he still stood up and sent a letter to Ning Ji, explaining their situation here, and even his own body He didn't hide Ning Ji, he was afraid that he would hide it, and Ning Ji was even more worried.
And Ning Ji thought about it for a long time last night, and finally decided that he needed to take advantage of the night to act, and the generals of Yuzhou would never have thought that after they attacked the city, when the sky was not dawn, they would go out of the city.
At this moment, Ning Yi put on a silver armor that was very similar to Yan Yunzhou's color, stood on the city tower, and looked at the soldiers in front of him who were selected by Liang Yi:
"This is the best archery in the army?"
"Yes, each of these is a good archer."
After Liang Yi finished speaking, he looked at the person in front of him and asked for his life:
"I'm willing to go out of the city with Ning Gongzi."
Ning Ji looked at him but nodded:
"General Liang stay in the city, if there is really a case, there can be no guards in the city."
Liang Yi's hand clenched the sword at his side, but he didn't say anything more.
Ning blamed Zou Xiaohu and came out:
"Xiaohu, do you remember the location I pointed to you on the map before?"
"Remember, remember."
"Remember how the explosives were buried, right?"
"Yes."
In this Youzhou City, only Zou Xiaohu witnessed the process of two TNT explosions, and after leaving the city, he needed to divide his troops into two ways, Ning Qi personally led one team, and the other team was led by Zou Xiaohu.
Zou Xiaohu is simply the first time to lead such a task, and the whole person is waiting for him, although the two leaders are novices, but the soldiers they bring are all veterans.
The city gate did not open, but from the outside of the city side down the soft rope ladder, the two teams took advantage of the night to go down quietly, even the torches and lighting were useless, and rushed directly to the place where Ning Qi confessed, before the action, Ning Qi had already explained how to dig a pit and how to bury mines.
Although Ning Qi has never fought, but the anti-Japanese war drama for so many years is not in vain, the laying of this mine is quite orderly, the more you escape, the more you will blow up, and laying mines is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing is how to detonate it.
Although TNT is several times more powerful than gunpowder, it is extremely lethal, stable and safe, but it is precisely because it is too safe, so it has become the biggest drawback at the moment, because it cannot be ignited by the lead, which means that it cannot be thrown like gunpowder.
In other words, the kind of TNT bomb that can explode with a fuse in modern history would rather not be made, so the TNT at this moment must need black powder to detonate.
But there is still a considerable distance from the city wall, if people guard here and detonate, it is tantamount to a death squad to death, and the method of detonation is Ning Yi thought for half a night before thinking of a solution.
He soaked all the leads of black powder in kerosene to increase its large flammability, and then buried the leads outside?
As the enemy passes through the area, the best archery soldiers will shoot rockets at the watchtowers on both sides, igniting the fuses on them to detonate the chain of explosives.
Just as they were moving, they heard the faint sound of horses' hooves, and everyone's faces changed:
"Quick."
The mines were all planted inside, and when they were filled with earth, they looked like they were in other places, except that a few stones were randomly placed on the side as references.
A group of people immediately wanted to return to the city, but the terrain outside the city was empty, and the group of cavalry behind them was not much, only a few dozens, and it was obvious that the sentries had come to inquire about the news.
They expected that the people in Youzhou City would not dare to come out at this moment, so they even dared to ride horses to inquire about the news.
But he was very clever and stood outside the range of the crossbow arrows of the city tower, and the two sides met in the dark night, Ning Ji looked at those people in the distance coldly, and turned his head sideways:
"Mr. Zheng Qian, can you escape back?"
"Ning Gongzi, as long as we turn around at this moment, they will shoot arrows immediately."
This is not good, and it is false to say that you are not nervous:
"Then fight."
Liang Yi on the city wall also saw the scene in the distance, and he had already asked the crossbowmen to prepare, and his cold sweat came out, if something happened to him outside the city, how could he explain it to the prince.
This conflict is inevitable, dozens of people against dozens of people, although this kind of conflict is not in the eyes of those veterans, but it is the first time that Ning Yi has been in such an immersive battle, he took a deep breath and held a knife in his hand.
The self-defense techniques he learned when he was in school, the swordsmanship that Yan Yunzhou taught him, and all the pictures rushed into his mind, but as soon as these pictures fell into his hands, they all changed.
Ning Yao's breath was short, he had slashed the patient's belly countless times, and the knife was never a strange thing to him.
But at this moment, he wants to target the enemy's vital point, neck, heart, he is not to save people, he is running to get their lives.
A battle of dozens of people may not be considered a battle in this era, but Ning Yi deeply felt the pungent smell of blood.
The people around him were all in the middle, and the blood splashed on his head and his face, and there were more corpses around him:
"Kill the man in the middle."
The other party saw that Ning Qi was protected in the middle, and the target immediately became him, and there were also people around Ning Qi who kept falling, and his heart was beating faster and faster, which was the instinctive fear of death, and the trembling in the DNA of the bloody scene.
Those hideous faces were getting closer to him, and the hand holding the knife in Ning's hand was covered with cold sweat, and he kept blocking and retreating.
Until the sword was almost in front of him, at this moment, the neck of the person in front of him was pierced by an arrow feather, and they ran all the way to the direction of the city gate, and at this moment it was within the range of the city tower, and this arrow was shot by Liang Yi.
The blood on the carotid artery in his neck slashed Ning Qi's face, and even blood beads were hung on his eyelashes, and his whole body was stunned for a moment.
He thought he could adapt, he thought that he would have no problem when he really arrived on the battlefield, but after all, he still looked up to himself, and the fight of cold weapons was too far away from his time.
But he had to face it, and Ning wiped the blood from his face, and the knife he wielded in his hand grew harder and harder until his blade was past the heart of the man in front of him.
He could even hear his knife rubbing against the man's third rib, and it was the first time he had felt what it felt like when he had struck a man's heart straight into his heart.
He pulled out the hilt of his knife hard, and the Yuzhou soldier fell from his eyes with wide eyes, the first time, he killed someone.
When he returned to the city, Ning Qi's face was pale, but his expression was very calm, except for people who were very close to him, no one could see the panic and fear in his heart, and it just so happened that there were no people around who were very close to him, and Yan Yunzhou was not by his side at the moment.
Ning Yi was still able to maintain his sanity and speak to Liang Yi:
