Chapter 190 Return to camp
"Whoosh-"
The arrow cut through the air like a meteor across the night sky, accurately hitting the enemy general's chest.
The enemy general, who was wearing heavy armor, was shaken violently and was knocked off his horse by an arrow, stirring up a lot of dust!
On the battlefield, time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The enemy soldiers were witnessing the fall of their general, and panic and confusion spread rapidly...
The formation was shaken and some people began to flee.
The soldiers of Beiling seemed to have seen the dawn of victory, and their cheers and shouts became louder and louder!
now!
In the chaos, Lu Chaofeng took advantage of the situation to approach the enemy's artillery position. He took out a fire starter from his pocket, ignited a fuse quickly and accurately, and then quickly evacuated.
"boom!"
With a deafening bang, the black cannon was blown to pieces by the explosion of gunpowder, and fragments flew everywhere.
Everyone around was frightened out of their wits by the sudden explosion.
The battlefield is changing rapidly!
The soldiers of Beiling Army seized the opportunity, counterattacked quickly, and continuously killed the enemy. Soon the enemy team collapsed completely, and the soldiers fled in all directions. Only desperate cries and wails were left on the battlefield.
"Lu Chaofeng!"
Black smoke billowed, covering Lu Chaofeng's figure. Su Chengnan couldn't find him on the high platform, and was extremely anxious!
"Lu Chaofeng!!"
She called out again, a tremor in her voice.
Suddenly, a horse burst out from the thick smoke. With the breaking light of dawn, a handsome man sat on horseback, looking in her direction. Their eyes met, and a thousand words were conveyed in their gazes...
"quick!"
"Everyone, hurry up and help the prince escape from this predicament!"
"Brothers, hit me hard!"
Su Chengnan's voice echoed on the city wall.
When the archers on the city wall heard Su Chengnan's order, their morale was greatly boosted, and arrows were shot like rain again, making the enemy suffer terribly.
The battle continues.
But the morale of the Beiling Army has reached its peak.
After this battle, everyone clearly realized one thing: as long as they were united, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome and no enemies that could not be defeated.
The people of the White Bear Country had completely lost their fighting spirit. They couldn't believe that they would lose so badly after attacking with cannons.
Not only was the general killed, but even the cannon was destroyed.
They don't know what kind of fate will be waiting for them when they return...
After a while, the smoke on the city wall gradually dissipated.
Su Chengnan stood on the city wall, looking at the chaotic battlefield below. She took a deep breath and said, "Don't let them escape! Cut off the roots and keep shooting!"
"Yes!"
When everyone heard the order, they skillfully put arrows on the bowstrings. Arrows streaked across the sky and poured towards the opposite side. These arrows were like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of the fleeing enemy troops.
This is what war is like. If you are soft-hearted, you will become a dead soul!
The Beiling Army's troops can no longer withstand the next round of attacks. If they cannot injure the enemy this time, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.
When the soldiers of the Beiling Army began to clean up the battlefield, they collected the enemy's armor and horses one by one.
Although it is hard to bear to see those fallen war horses, they will become food for the soldiers when there is a shortage of military rations.
As the last ray of sunlight disappeared over the horizon, the soldiers of the Beiling Army returned to the barracks with their spoils.
In the camp, Li Shanqi had ordered people to light a bonfire.
The flames danced, illuminating the tired but extremely excited faces.
This battle, we won...!
……
When Su Chengnan came back, the cooks had already started preparing food, and Su Linhua also brought people to help.
There were many large chunks of meat on the chopping board, and two horse skeletons that had been dismembered were lying on the ground.
Seeing her coming, Su Linhua greeted her with a smile, "Eldest sister, General Li said that after the victory, everyone can eat as much meat as they want! I've never had the chance to be a horse before, but today is my chance."
"You? Cooking horse meat?" Su Chengnan looked at her, then at the meat, with a cautious look in his eyes.
She naturally believed in Su Linhua's cooking skills, but horse meat was not something that ordinary people could cook. No, to be more precise, it was very difficult to make it delicious.
She had eaten it once or twice before when she was traveling around with artists for commercial performances. Well, her ancestors' strict selection was justified. Horse meat had not been widely promoted, and it was a delicacy that was really difficult to make.
Su Linhua held her handkerchief and wiped Su Chengnan's face. "Don't you still believe me? If I say it tastes good, it must be good!"
Su Chengnan took her handkerchief and said, "It's okay. I'll wash it later. Don't get your hands dirty. I believe you. Go ahead and do it. But don't make things more complicated. The soldiers are hungry after just coming back from the battle. You should choose the quickest way to do it."
"I see. I have an idea in mind."
"Okay then, I'll go see Mr. Sun and the others first, and then I'll go get freshened up. You go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, wait and eat."
Su Chengnan nodded, turned and left.
Just now when the shell hit the city wall, some debris fell down and accidentally hit Sun Liangyuan's arm. He was injured and was sent over by A Shun for bandaging.
Su Chengnan was worried and wanted to go see him first. But before she could reach the place, she turned around and ran into Lu Chaofeng.
There were several wounds on his face, the blood had dried, and his eyes seemed to have many things to say, but Su Chengnan just smiled at him, "It's good to be alive. Go wash up and apply medicine first. If you have anything to say, we can talk later, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Chaofeng's hoarse voice sounded softly, but he was unwilling to move.
Su Chengnan coughed lightly, "Why don't you leave?"
He said, "You go first."
Su Chengnan's face felt slightly hot, her eyes flickered, but reason prevailed. She raised her hand, opened the curtain, and went into the tent.
The military doctor had already treated Sun Liangyuan's wound, but Mi Feng insisted that the bandage was ugly and the medicine was not good enough, so he insisted on taking it off and reapplying the medicine himself.
The military doctor's medical skills were not as good as Mi Feng's, and he hoped to learn more from him. Naturally, there was no objection. Even if there was, he could only swallow it and pretend that there was nothing.
Su Chengnan went over and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
Sun Liangyuan tilted his head and bared his teeth. "Nothing, nothing. I'm a very tough old man. I won't die from such a small thing."
Mi Feng said seriously, "Mr. Sun, you have to avoid certain foods because of your wound. If you secretly drink alcohol and eat meat, there may be a risk of sequelae. You still have to be careful."
"What?! We can't drink alcohol and eat meat?" Sun Liangyuan was shocked. He frowned and said, "We won the battle, and we can't drink this celebratory wine? No, no, I have to taste it at least!"
Seeing that he still had the energy to argue, Su Chengnan thought that nothing serious seemed to be happening, and he finally felt relieved.
