This time, other than General Ming Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although Meng Duo’s plan was not enough to make up for his mistakes, it was not completely useless. The army would not make things too difficult for him.
Although he said that, Meng Duo smiled bitterly. “No, I was the one who thought I was smart and dug my own grave. To the soldiers of the You army, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty form a spear that charges forward and a fearless shield. I’ve really experienced it. There’s no turning back. In this battle, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians will fight to the death.’
Harmon also felt sad.
As soon as the battle started, Meng Duo’s pride as the number one warrior of the gra.s.sland was shattered by King Yue Fei of the Great Zhou. Not only did he lose his troops, but he almost lost himself.
Perhaps even Meng Duo himself did not realize that his words were already filled with fear.
Harmon sighed softly. Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Back then, Yin Huaixi was only 12 years old and had met him on a narrow path at the narrow Yu Pa.s.s. As soon as the two sides met, he was caught off guard by Yin Huaixi when he was still young and couldn’t help but look down on him.
It was fate!
Harmon had led his troops to the front line to help Meng Ying take down Jinzhou in one fell swoop. In order to rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible, the entire army had abandoned their heavy armor and were all light cavalry, losing their defense.
In contrast, Yin Huaixi had led 100 MO Saber users.
MO Saber users were the most effective against cavalry. They were even more successful against light cavalry without defense. The lethality of bows and arrows against heavy-armored MO Saber users was very limited. Light cavalry without defense were simply sheep among tigers.
This battle made Harmon realize that although Yin Huaixi was young, his grasp of opportunities and ability to adapt on the battlefield far exceeded many old generals who had been through hundreds of battles.
To put it bluntly, he relied on his brain to fight.
He was a natural talent.
Talent was a gift from the heavens, and it surpa.s.sed that of ordinary people.
After that year, he and Yin Huaixi reunited at the narrow Yu Pa.s.s. This time, he fought Yin Huaixi alone, and Yin Huaixi used his brain to take an arm from him.
From then on, Harmon was very afraid of King Yue Fei. When the power in the Northern Barbarians was divided, he chose the main faction.
Harmon patted Meng Duo’s shoulder and sighed softly. “Yin Huaixi isn’t old enough to be a young prodigy, and we’re already on the decline. Looking at the men of the gra.s.sland, who dares to fight Yin Huaixi?”
“We’re all old…
Meng Duo’s expression changed drastically. He immediately understood why the various branches of the Northern Barbarians supported the main battle. It was not related to his so-called plan to defeat the Zhou Dynasty, nor was it because of the military order he had made. It was for the future of the gra.s.sland.
There was a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty that said, “The hatred of my parents is irreconcilable! ”
They couldn’t defeat Yin Huaixi in this battle. In the future, when Yin Huaixi’s wings were voluptuous, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s cavalry would step onto the gra.s.sland of the Northern Barbarians sooner or later.
The tent was very quiet. Yu Youyao was helping Yin Huaixi treat the injuries on his hands.
Chun Xiao brought half a bowl of strong wine into the tent. “General Lin has instructed that His Highness is the commander-in-chief of the army. No matter how serious the injuries on his body are, he has to be careful. It’s safer to treat his injuries with some strong wine. Don’t lose too much for a small matter.”
Although the distillation process was widely used in brewing, the process was complicated and consumed too much food. In particular, in the past few years, there had been a drought, and the production of wine in Shanxi and Shaanxi had decreased greatly. The military supplies were reduced by more than half.
Due to the limited amount of strong wine, it was only used by some seriously injured soldiers.
Yu Youyao carefully took some wine and poured it on a cotton towel. She handed the remaining wine to Chun Xiao. “Take it to the seriously injured camp to treat the wounds of those seriously injured soldiers.”
After Chun Xiao left, the tent returned to silence.
Yu Youyao used a cotton towel stained with strong wine to gently wipe the wound on Yin Huaixi’s hand. The prepared Golden Creation Medicine was sprinkled evenly on the wound. She also took out a cotton veil and wrapped it tightly around the wound.
The two of them were extremely close. Yin Huaixi lowered his head and saw her beautiful eyebrows and long eyelashes trembling lightly, like b.u.t.terflies on a branch.
After a while, the wound was treated.
Yin Huaixi looked at it carefully. “In just one night, you’re already so proficient in bandaging wounds. Many military doctors in the army aren’t as meticulous as you.”
Yu Youyao quickly said, “I’m still learning too. I’m always worried that if the bandage isn’t meticulous, it won’t be good for the soldiers’ injuries. I have to be meticulous to feel at ease. However, I’m not as experienced as the military doctors in the camp, who know how to bandage wounds such that it saves time, medicine, cotton yarn, and so on. With some treatment supplies, not only can they treat more people, but they can also avoid waste.”
When she was inexperienced, she should be more cautious and avoid making mistakes.
Only after acc.u.mulating a lot of experience would she know what to do to avoid making mistakes.
Yin Huaixi shook his head. “Most of the injured soldiers who can be handed over to you are not in danger of losing their lives. The soldiers are thick-skinned and strong. They’re not as fragile as you think. Just do as you please. There’s no need to worry too much.”
Yu Youyao nodded and turned her attention to his injuries. “Although your injuries aren’t serious, you’ve lost a lot of blood. Don’t touch water for the next few days, and don’t use your hands as much as possible. Change the medicine every other day. After changing the medicine three times, your wound will almost heal.’
Yin Huaixi nodded. “Okay.”
There was another suffocating silence in the tent.
Yu Youyao lowered her head and tidied up the mess.
Yin Huaixi looked at her carefully. She had only been in the camp for a few days, but she was already proficient in doing this. Usually, it was done by the servants. Furthermore, the carefully maintained nails on her fingertips had been cut short.
After cleaning up, Yu Youyao saw that he was covered in blood. She stood up and was about to leave. “I’ll get a basin of water and help you clean up…”
Yin Huaixi suddenly held her hand, his hoa.r.s.e voice filled with fatigue. “Let me hug you.”
Yu Youyao felt a lump in her throat and was about to cry. She slowly sat back on the couch. Yin Huaixi’s arm landed on her waist and he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Her vulnerability was obvious.
“You.” Yu Youyao’s eyes immediately turned red. She opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say. “Are you alright?”
Her voice was very soft and cautious.
Actually, she had a stomach full of comforting words to say to Yin Huaixi, but she also knew that the blood and tears shed on the battlefield could only be discussed on the battlefield.
A woman’s soft words were like poison that pierced through the heart.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Yin Huaixi was rational and calm enough to deal with any situation. He did not need anyone’s comfort.
Yin Huaixi’s voice was hoa.r.s.e and a little difficult. “When I was young, 1 had a very mischievous personality. My father often had a headache because of this, so he threw me into the army so that I could train myself. At that time, the person who brought me along was Uncle Ming. Uncle Ming was much older than my father, so it was fine to call him Uncle Ming. However, he didn’t let me call him Eldest Uncle Ming. He felt that Eldest Uncle Ming would make him sound old. Most of the soldiers in the army also called him Uncle Ming.”
Yu Youyao understood that when the soldiers in the army reached a certain age, they had to retire. General Ming Wei did not want to retire so early, so he was especially concerned about this..
