Chapter 361 Cheetah Mentality
Everyone witnessed this scene. Bu Lingzi wanted to fire a few more arrows to end her life, but Yelü Hanxuan glared at her fiercely. No one could stop him from playing this game.
"You dare to shoot an arrow?! You've ruined my game, I'll kill you first!"
Their General Hanxuan is a first-rate warrior, but he always likes to play games first, and only when they are desperate will he take action to annex their cities.
"Yes, I understand."
"Withdraw all the cavalry and release the remaining prisoners. It's only fun if we lift her up high and then slam her down hard."
"Yes."
In fact, there were very few surviving prisoners. Chu Feng tried hard to stand up, but his knees were pierced and his kneecaps were almost completely shattered. He might never be able to mount a horse again!
So this was their trap? They wanted to seriously injure her to demoralize their troops.
Indeed, she is the only one holding down Beiyang Pass right now. If she falls, things will definitely fall apart here.
The deputy general on the city wall watched as Bei Rong's army slowly withdrew from their sight.
They only dared to go downstairs when they could no longer see him, but they managed to rescue Chu Feng and bring him back to the city.
Several soldiers walked up to Chu Feng and found that her face was deathly pale and an arrow was stuck in her knee.
The thigh area had been tightly bound with cloth strips, which was considered an emergency treatment.
But now her consciousness is starting to blur, and she sees several double images of the people in front of her, which must be due to excessive blood loss.
"General Chu Feng, how are you feeling?"
"I am fine. Go back to the city quickly. Yelü Hanxuan is really cunning. The news of my injury must not be revealed, and it should not be sent back to Qiyang City."
"But many people saw you get injured, so the news has probably already spread!"
"At the very least, we must stabilize morale and not allow them to waver in the slightest."
After all, the generals from the Situ family were practically gods in the eyes of those soldiers.
My first attempt to leave the city gate ended in failure, and I even broke a leg. I could no longer go to the battlefield and could only work in logistics.
"Yes, General Chu Feng, please say less."
Back in the city, in his room, Chu Feng was already unconscious with a high fever. The arrow was even coated with poison, probably because it had been fed with gold water!
The medic was wiping the sweat from his brow while frowning. Removing the arrow was manageable, but the poison was the real problem.
Generally, to prevent infection of the wound, one can only rely on willpower to get through it.
"Whether he can pull through depends on General Chu Feng's fate. I thought he would retrieve the arrow, but General Lu Feng's legs will probably never allow him to stand up again or ride a horse."
"What did you say? How is that possible? If she can't ride a horse, then she'll never be able to..."
"I'm telling the truth, and all of this depends on her getting through this. If she doesn't, forget about riding a horse..."
The military doctor didn't say anything more, and everyone understood what she meant, but it was still necessary to let Qiyang City know about such an important matter.
After spending some time with Qi Zexuan in Xiao Rong, she was on her way back when she heard the news of the fall of Beiyang Pass, which made her extremely anxious.
Chu Qiu and his group were also riding at full speed, and when they arrived in Qiyang, they just received news that Chu Feng was seriously injured. However, the serious injury was not the most important thing; the main problem was poisoning.
After reading the description in the letter, she immediately told Situ Hongyu to stand back two steps. She didn't expect that Chu Feng would be ambushed like this as soon as he arrived, and that he might never be able to stand up straight again. She didn't even have a future!
"Who is the general on the other side?!"
"His name seems to be something like Yelü Hanxuan!"
It was the surname of the Northern Rong Royal Court. Since they had appointed a member of the royal family as the commander-in-chief, it seemed they valued him highly. Then, someone added that he was a man. Situ Hongyu clenched her fists. It wasn't that she discriminated against men, but she was surprised that even a man was so capable.
Before Wu Ziyan and the others could even figure out what was going on, they heard the news that Chu Feng was seriously injured.
Chu Qiu panicked, while Huang Ziliang remained deep in thought, talking to everyone to gather useful information.
"Your Highness, I must get to Beiyang as soon as possible. My elder sister... she needs me."
"Then let's not linger in Qiyang. Let's ride the fastest horse and head straight to Beiyang. Besides, she's been poisoned, and I have some antidote on me. It would be best if we went together."
"Little rascal, Beiyang is in a dangerous situation. Let Chu Qiu go alone. Don't go and hold him back!"
Situ Hongyu's words were as sharp as ever, and Wu Ziyan could tell that he meant well.
“Mother-in-law, Chu Qiu is going to such a dangerous place, how can I not accompany him? And don’t worry, I guarantee they will be fine.”
"You little devil, why are you so stubborn? You couldn't even handle Chu Feng, so this opponent is probably going to be very difficult. If I didn't have to guard Qiyang, I would have personally taken up arms and gone into battle!"
"Mother-in-law, you must keep things stable at home and prevent chaos."
"I just learned a bit about Yelü Hanxuan from the soldiers. He probably has the mentality of a cheetah, constantly destroying the prey's defenses without killing it. Moreover, he has transferred soldiers from other passes to build fortifications. He probably wants to defeat them one by one."
Huang Ziliang's words hit the nail on the head, showing that he had thought more deeply than those who had fought for many years. They had never imagined that the enemy would take advantage of the weakened defenses.
"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?" Situ Hongyu felt that what he said made sense and that he was genuinely asking.
"I need to go to Beiyang with Miss first to see the actual situation before I can make a conclusion. Everything I say now is just empty talk and theoretical.
Wu Ziyan also looked at him with admiration. In such a short time, he had collected so much intelligence, organized it, and analyzed Yelü Hanxuan's mentality.
"Then let's not delay any longer and set off immediately. I'm afraid Chu Feng's life will be in danger if we're even a step behind."
Chu Yu arrived in Qiyang a step later than Wu Ziyuan and the others. She originally wanted to follow them, but Qi Zexuan was not stupid, and he could also figure out that.
They advised Chu Yu to go and guard other passes, so as not to give Bei Rong any opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Chu Feng had been running a fever for a day, sweat pouring down his body, and the high fever just wouldn't go down. As a result, the wound had become infected, initially showing redness and swelling, with black blood flowing out. The military doctor had been staying there the whole time, but she wasn't a miracle worker.
"How is General Chu Feng? Why hasn't he woken up yet? The soldiers below are very worried."
The deputy general was wringing his hands anxiously. Rumors were already circulating that Chu Feng had been bewitched by Bei Rong and might never wake up again.
The rumor originated among the common people, and no one knows who spread it, but it has gradually spread to the military, causing them to feel a sense of unease.
