Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Once the order is issued, the assigned generals will immediately leave the tent to execute the order!

After the urgent matters were temporarily settled, Chu Shiyu looked at the remaining generals and analyzed: "We have sentries within a hundred miles. The siege equipment moves slowly, and it is extremely difficult to approach quietly overnight. Before dawn, I will not move unless the enemy moves."

It took less than a moment from the time the horn sounded.

The entire deserted city is ready and prepared for battle.

But the unknown troops in the east seemed to be in a dilemma. They seemed to be ready to fight, but also seemed to be hesitating to move forward... In short, they stopped two or three miles away.

Suddenly, a small group of people rode their horses towards the gathering place nearby, overturned several yurts and rushed in!

There was constant shouting and scolding from the people behind!

Those who broke into the yurt soon came out, but some were dragging lambs, and some were carrying sacks!

Sharp howling sounds came out from the yurt!

Someone then brandished a scimitar reflecting the cold starlight, ready to kill!

However, a horsewhip landed on the man wielding the knife first!

It seemed that some quarrel broke out, and finally the butcher's knife was put away, but the lamb and sack were hung on the horse, and the howling was driven back into the yurt.

On the east wall and sentry tower of the deserted city, people with good hearing and vision vaguely saw and heard these things. They were full of doubts, but they also reported what they saw and heard to the people in the city in real time...

Upon hearing the news, Lu Daqing was puzzled: "Aren't these Tartars? This gathering place is a Tartar tribe of thousands of people... The tribal leader is also influential among the Tartars... Why would they rob them?"

Chu Shiyu lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "Are you starving? Or are you still unable to eat..."

"What do you mean?" Lu Daqing was very puzzled.

Chu Shiyu did not explain, but asked in a cold voice: "Have the trip wires and spearmen been deployed between the east and west gates and the granary in the south?"

"All ready!"

The uninvited guests outside the city finally couldn't hold back any longer!

The loud charge sounded!

Thousands of horses galloping!

The rumbling sound comes from far away!

With shouts and shouts, the enemy army approached the deserted city by one mile!

"Boom!"

The sound of cannons rang out! It was the twelve bowl-shaped cannons that had been installed on the east city wall! The enemy entered the killing range! They started to work without hesitation!

The shells fell among the enemy! Almost every one of them took away more than a dozen lives in an instant!

However, this could not scare off the offensive momentum of tens of thousands of enemy bandits! And these tiger-like Northern tribe warriors immediately launched a counterattack!

The horses galloped! But they took their hands off the reins and took their bows and arrows! Shoot! All in one go!

Horseback archery is a skill that is as natural as breathing for grassland warriors! Arrows rustle! Almost all of them shoot into the deserted city in a projectile arc!

Fortunately, with the city walls blocking the arrows, most of them were blocked! Only a small number of the Great Xia army were shot! And everyone was wearing armor and thick clothes, and only a few people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!

This did not panic the soldiers of Daxia, but instead made their blood boil!

The bows and muskets on the city wall were also fighting against the enemy! The attacks were pouring down!

Even though most of the attacks missed, in the intensive attack, the enemy troops without the protection of the city walls were hit much more often! People kept falling off their horses!

The enemy remained undaunted! They bravely jumped over the fallen bodies! They rushed towards the city gate that was just a stone's throw away!

But the Great Xia Army's tactics also escalated as the distance increased! The arrows on the deserted city were attached with flames! They attacked the advancing enemies with burning flames!

Most of them still fell into the air! But as long as they landed on the enemy, the arrows covered with grease could set them on fire!

The people on fire quickly fell off their horses! After rolling over to put out the flames, instead of fleeing, they got back on their horses! Some even picked up the burning arrows that had fallen on the ground! They reflected the flames into the deserted city!

The Great Xia Army was not surprised by the bravery of the northern enemies! Most people had seen it in the past few months! Even the defenders were more excited! Those who moved faster drew their bows and shot arrows, or reloaded their muskets!

"bump!"

A musket exploded! The man using the musket screamed and held his injured finger! Someone immediately stepped up to take over! The people around him not only did not slow down their use of muskets, but attacked even faster!

Because the Daxia army knew that if they didn't kill as many enemies as possible before they entered the city, there would be even more brutal close combat after they entered the city!

Finally, the first wave of enemy troops approached the East Gate!

It is called a city gate, but in fact there is no gatehouse and no door. There are only two sections of two-meter-high city walls extending inward, forming a short corridor of five meters!

At this time, three chevaux de frise were placed across the flat corridor, preventing the enemy from continuing their charge!

But the enemy was well prepared. The leader immediately dismounted and raised the small shield on his arm armor to block his head, resisting the denser and more accurate rain of arrows!

At the city gate, both walls were lined with archers looking down from above! Almost every enemy soldier was being targeted!

Many enemy soldiers fell, but some managed to move forward, even without caring about the arrows in their bodies! Three or five people worked together to push the barricades apart! Although there were still two more barricades to be pulled apart, it was clear that as long as a few more deaths were paid, they could be conquered!

The corridor was filled with screams, blood, and corpses!

...

"Save the endangered first! Save his life, stop the bleeding! Then worry about other things!"

The coat that hindered his movements had already been taken off! The white coat he put on was stained with blood!

In the medical tent with the curtains drawn, Liu Rusi didn't even have time to feel the cold!

At first, only two wounded soldiers with arrows were brought in. One of them had no pulse. Liu Rusi immediately started cardiopulmonary resuscitation and performed artificial respiration using a newly made cow stomach air bag.

Fortunately, the injured person's pulse and breathing recovered after a while.

After the first aid was over, Liu Rusi relaxed a lot. While treating the arrow wound, she still had the energy to discuss and explain with the doctors who were watching.

But soon, she found out that she was wrong! She didn't have time to treat them one by one slowly!

When the next critically injured person was brought in! She had just finished disinfecting the open arrow wound!

Fortunately, there are still seven doctors here who can save lives and heal the wounded - the Northwest Army itself has military doctors, including a dozen people including Doctor Ma, all of whom are assigned to the south of the deserted city, and they are in the north.

The doctors immediately started to treat the wounded, using their own experience and methods, combined with the treatment methods they had learned these days! One by one, the dying wounded were saved by their skilled hands!

But, some people still died...

When someone moved in, it was already beyond help...

Someone was unable to recover after a moment of rescue... Liu Rusi knew that there was a slim hope of continuing to treat him... but there were more wounded people being sent in who were more likely to survive, so she could only stop and rush to the next one.

I cursed myself in my heart for looking forward to war just because I wanted to have a chance to practice medicine!

She felt like she was really there, but she could only hate herself for being powerless! No adrenaline, no ventilator, no blood transfusion... She watched the lives of the people disappear!

Soon, she didn't even have the energy to curse herself!

The speed of sending the wounded is getting faster and faster! Every doctor who can treat the wounded independently in the entire medical tent is busy! So much so that the assistants, the pharmacists and the little girls, have to go out to save people from time to time!

Liu Rusi was extremely anxious! But she only had one pair of hands, and she was busy rescuing the seriously injured! She could only find time to speak and instruct others on what to do!

In her anxiety, she was no longer gentle towards the panicked little girls!

"Tie the upper part of your arm! Don't be so frivolous! Use all your strength!"
