Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 532: Fight at the South Gate

At this moment, the troops in Nanmen and other places in Dongjie were thrown into chaos. When they saw the flag of Ansheng Kingdom on the city wall, they knew that their reinforcements had arrived, and they started to attack the enemy together.

Su He was waiting for news, and when he heard that reinforcements had arrived, he asked people to carry the cannons made of firecrackers to the city wall, and use catapults to fire the lit cannons into the enemy's camp and crowd.

All of a sudden, the Nanmen Dongjie army started to fall into chaos. The Ninth Prince and his men blocked the fleeing enemies and killed everyone they saw. The horses heard the crackling sound of firecrackers and were so scared that they ran away in all directions, not obeying their masters at all.

This helped the Ninth Prince and his men in disguise, but the Dongjie Army was still quite fierce. When they saw that there was no way to retreat, they began to fight a desperate battle with the Ansheng Army under the city.

Blood was splattered everywhere under the city walls, and soldiers were wounded everywhere. Most of them were covered in blood, and it was unclear whether it was their own or the enemy's. Some had already fallen down, and people on both sides were too busy to rescue them. They could only rely on their luck to survive.

There were roars and groans of pain everywhere, as well as the sound of swords and guns clashing. The battlefield was bloody and violent. As long as you could stand up, you would fight to the death. At this time, the bravest of the two would win. People were so bloodthirsty that they could only identify who was their own by the clothes on the other person's body, so as not to kill the wrong person.

The group of people around the Ninth Prince were also resisting the enemy's attack. They couldn't let these people escape. Seeing the blood boiling, the Ninth Prince also wanted to join the battle, but he knew that he had to defend the camp with General Huo.

Su Feng and Su Che had already joined the battle at this time. They were among this group of people. They could not go in. They had to protect the Ninth Prince while intercepting the enemies who were running over.

The two men had already taken up their weapons and were fighting the enemy vigorously. So far, they had not been injured, only a few minor injuries.

At this time, they knew the horror of the battlefield. The basic moves they usually used were no longer useful. The most they could use were blocking and slashing. There were too many people, and one might pop up from anywhere. In the end, it all depended on strength and sensitivity. If the strength was strong enough and the sword hit the vital point, then that was an enemy. If you hid in time, you could save your life.

The soldiers of Ansheng were smaller than those of Dongjie, but more flexible. They had all undergone rigorous training. Chinese martial arts were not just for show, they could save lives on the battlefield. Dongjie soldiers mostly used brute force, so Ansheng could only use multiple people to fight.

The Ninth Prince had a large number of troops, and with the help from the city, the Dongjie Army was at a disadvantage for a while. Their general saw that the situation was not good, and he also wanted to escape with his men, thinking of retreating back to the north gate.

Su He had already arrived at the city wall at this time. Looking down, he saw that the two armies were already engaged in a melee. He could only tell which was the enemy and which was his own by their colors.

Seeing the chaos below, Su He wondered whether she should go down to help. She had forgotten that she was a girl.

Suddenly, Su He saw the South Gate open, and our defenders rushed out. The Dongjie Army panicked, and the armies on both sides joined the battle. Su He wanted to run down, but her master grabbed her and yelled at her: "Su He, you are a girl, you can't run down, stay on the city wall. We will need your help later, that's where we need help the most."

Su He calmed down. Yes! She could only kill two enemies at most. It would be better to treat the wounded. She was the best at that.

Thinking about this, I said to my master, "I will go and see the wounded."

Seeing that she had calmed down, her master took her to the sick camp. Although she was dressed like a man now, her endurance and physical strength were still not as good as men's, so she should not go and die.

They went down the tower and saw a group of wounded soldiers being carried back from outside the city. They were covered in blood and it was impossible to tell where their wounds were. Su He followed them to the wounded camp.

All the injured were in a large courtyard. There were beds inside and outside the courtyards. The injured were first placed on the empty beds, and the seriously injured were finally carried into the house for surgery.

The military doctors here can perform simple operations, remove injured flesh, and simply suture wounds. However, there are no doctors who are good at reattaching limbs, so if they encounter a broken limb, they can only suture it and discard the remaining limb.
