Chapter 183: Bringing a Female Doctor for a Visit
Chapter 183
General Guan frowned deeply. He had never seen live broadcasts from the future at the border, but he had heard about them on his way here. It seemed this thing was called a cannon?
It had once driven away fifty thousand soldiers led by Guan Pei.
However, it was said that this thing had distance limitations and couldn't shoot too far.
But General Guan was thinking of a quick victory, wanting to capture the Plague City in one fell swoop, and then rush to the frontier to defend against the Xiongnu without delay, fearing that any delay would lead to complications.
The deputy commander said, "General, I've heard of this thing. It's powerful, but has many limitations. We can overwhelm them with our numbers."
"With no one guarding the border now, I'm very anxious." Visitt (.)co/m for the latest updates
"Why don't we end this quickly?"
General Guan remained silent, and the troops behind him stood as still as statues.
General Guan looked at the cannon, then in the direction of the city tower. He wondered how many more of those celestial fireballs the Elder Princess had.
With General Guan's experienced eye, he could guess that while these things had astonishing combat power, they were expensive to produce. The Elder Princess probably couldn't use them indefinitely.
If they could withstand these two waves of attacks, taking the Plague City would become much easier.
However, the soldiers behind him were men who had fought bloody battles alongside him. He couldn't use these men's blood and sweat to counter such cold-blooded weapons.
He couldn't exchange the lives of tens of thousands for the Plague City!
These men shouldn't die on their own territory. If they were to die, it should be on the frontier defense line. That would be a worthy death!
"Today is not a good day for attacking the city. Retreat with all the wounded and fallen soldiers."
"Hear my order, retreat immediately!"
"Set up camp ten miles away!"
At General Guan's command, the entire army immediately retreated in an orderly manner, taking the wounded with them. They didn't abandon a single comrade, not even the bodies!
Seeing the army withdraw, the Elder Princess, Zhou Qichen, and General Qin all breathed sighs of relief.
General Guan considered all his men to be great heroes protecting their homeland. Even though they were on opposing sides, the Elder Princess didn't want this fierce army to suffer too many casualties.
The Elder Princess greatly admired these heroes who had been stationed at the frontier for years.
Seeing that General Qin had returned to the city, the Elder Princess remained silent for a few seconds before speaking to Zhou Qichen: "The burns caused by the ammunition require special herbs."
"Qichen, you should personally lead the female medical team to deliver medicine to General Guan's camp."
General Guan: "......"
The deputy commander: "The main issue is that the gunpowder is special, and our medics really have no solution. We can't just watch our brothers die from fever, can we?"
General Guan: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Why didn't that fool Zhou come secretly? Couldn't he have come at night? Why be so open about it? It's like I owe him something. Tell him to get in here and treat them!"
With General Guan's order, Zhou Qichen used the pretext of catching up to allow the female medics to treat the soldiers injured by the explosions.
The people had already come in.
The treatment had begun.
The blame had been taken.
General Guan was speechless inside.
He put on a cold face and had dozens of generals accompany him outside, drinking, barbecuing, and chatting: If they wanted to be open about it, then let's be even more open!
He, Guan, didn't feel guilty at all.
Not far from their gathering, a group of female medics walked through the military camp.
Many soldiers' eyes were drawn to the female medics.
They were dressed in simple men's clothing, each carrying a wooden box. Opening the boxes revealed various medicines and bandages, which they used skillfully to bandage the soldiers' blast wounds.
Initially, the soldiers were skeptical of the female medics, but upon seeing their proficient bandaging skills, some of their doubts were dispelled.
However, there were still some who wanted to test the limits of these female medics' endurance, gathering together with the intention of deliberately teasing them.
"Old Zhang, let's make a bet. Guess whether they'll cry in fear when they see even bloodier dismembered limbs?"
"That goes without saying. They'll definitely scream in terror, faint, and run away."
"I think so too. Hehe, if hundreds of women faint all at once, that'd be quite a spectacle."
"Then let's bet on how many they can endure before breaking down."
A dozen or so soldiers laughed with malicious intent.
They had been through dozens of battles, big and small. Their bodies were covered in grotesque, frightening wounds. Some of their injuries had even become infected, with maggots growing in them in this stuffy, sweltering weather.
