Chapter 573: Chapter 39 Great victory! Great victory! _3

"Surrender, don’t kill!"

Thus, these two thousand infantrymen all stepped forward.

With a thunderous solemnity, they cried out in unison:

"Drop your weapons!"

"Surrender, don’t kill!"

The sound of weapons hitting the ground was crisp, continuous.

In Murong Yuan’s blurred vision, it seemed as if the battlefield had flipped in an instant. Amidst the intense blaze, a Qilin approached, and the person on the Qilin’s back dismounted, wearing a dark golden face mask, his crimson battle robe fluttering as he steadied himself.

"Are you still alright?"

Li Guanyi steadied Murong Yuan, seeing the numerous wounds all over him, obviously from a fierce battle, then he shouted, "Where is the Pill Master!"

Murong Yuan’s consciousness slowly drifted away as he was vaguely handed over to a group of people.

Feeling finally at ease, this brave scion of the Murong Family felt a sense of survival, when he heard an anxious voice, "Damn, with such wounds, can he still be alive?"

"When jumping down from the city wall, he was injured during the retreat and then wounded by a Hooked Scythe Spear..."

"The internal organs are also impacted, with ruptures in all five viscera and six entrails, pooling of blood inside, he’s starting to vomit blood——"

"Ah, has Boss Shi arrived?!"

Then a voice calmly commanded, "Be careful, plug the wound. What, can’t plug it? Stuff it directly with cotton cloth mixed with Hemostatic Powder. Whether it hurts or not, talk about surviving first; dead people don’t have the right to cry out in pain."

"Brothers who survive, and still have the energy to scold us, are more important than praising us."

"Lacking compassion? Bullshit, I’m one of the old ghosts, doing the job of snatching people from King Yanluo, dammit, you must live."

Before Murong Yuan passed out, he heard all this. He was initially moved, but then he heard someone say, "Bad, he’s about to pass out. This amount of bleeding, backflow of blood can lead to death, severe unconsciousness coupled with vomiting blood, the tongue unconsciously falling back, if it blocks the throat, he could suffocate."

"Got a needle?"

"Watch now, this is an experience gained from marching; at this time, if you pin his tongue to something upfront, he’ll be safe——"

Murong Yuan struggled a bit.

!!!!

Struggling within his hazy consciousness.

What the hell kind of doctor is this?!

Fuck! Where did this old ghost come from, let me die!

Then he was subdued by a group of extremely strong individuals.

......

Qilin Army’s sudden intrusion into this battle ended it quickly. The attacking forces seemed to be just a secondary troop. Facing the Qilin Army with three famous generals, they almost had no defensive power and collapsed, but it did not result in total annihilation.

Even with encirclement from all sides, ultimately, a small portion of the army managed to break out and flee.

When the enemy’s casualty rate neared twenty percent, they completely collapsed, most being captured. The logistic troops, led directly by Lei Laomeng and Shi Dalin with the Exotic Beast Army, got cut off, and when the logistic officer realized he was only facing five hundred men and had been tricked by the old hand of Lei Laomeng, he was so angry he almost drew his sword to kill himself.

Because of Taiping Duke’s reputation.

The people of East Crossing City opened their gates, welcoming this army into their town. They brought out their remaining supplies of food, gold, and silver, loaded on carts, offered following the customs of the era by the venerable and morally upright among them, willing to present them to the General.

Li Guan Yi asked Ling Pingyang, "Did my old man also receive such tributes?"

Ling Pingyang smiled, "He did, although I wasn’t under General Yue’s command at the time, but I’ve always heard the stories. Theoretically, Taiping Duke once forcefully extorted the leaders in the Southwest, taking Bright Pearls, which were gifted to the brothers in the army and the common folk."

"As for coming to Jiangnan, he certainly never did such a thing."

Li Guan Yi thought for a moment, then told the elderly, "Please take it back."

The white-haired elder hesitated, "Why?"

The young man removed his helmet, and to the elder’s shock, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy, his heroic bearing not diminished by the teary mole at the corner of his eye, he calmly said:

"Being besieged for so long, everyone in the city must be lacking food. Please distribute this gold and silver among the citizens, less for the rich and more for the poor; and these meats, please boil them into porridge and distribute it to the people."

The elder hesitated, initially thinking that the general was just playing a role seeking fame.

His own troops would definitely not be satisfied.

This valiant army didn’t enter the city, nor did they express any complaints, having been initially ingrained by Li Guan Yi with such a foundation, naturally began to set up camp outside the city, even the General himself didn’t enter.

Thanks to the logistic supplies from Chen Country’s army, Li Guan Yi’s Qilin Army finally got to eat rice.

Previously in the mountains they ate whatever was available; this time they cooked good food, and with plenty of available meat and even wine, though the army didn’t drink alcohol, meat and rice were abundant. Originally, the logistic general Ning Zhaoji thought he might starve to death, yet found those people bringing over food and drink.

Lei Laomeng said, "The captured food and meat, only once every three days."

"But for vegetables and rice, you won’t be shortchanged, yet you have to work. Those who lie down won’t eat; come on, one by one."

Ning Zhaoji grinned and also went to get his share of food, Lei Laomeng adeptly said, "Young man, what’s your name? You’re pretty quick on the uptake, you know, if we weren’t so fast, you all would have escaped."

Ning Zhaoji took a bite of the food and could only reply, "Ning Zhaoji, from the Southwest of Chen Country, studied for a few years at the Military School in Jiangzhou, working in logistics..."

Lei Laomeng said, "Ah, a scholar indeed, come on, have a couple more pieces of meat."
