For a whole day and night, the Xia army's offensive continued one after another, and the soldiers seemed not to be tired. Xia Jun's endless harassment brought them mental pressure. After a night of hard work, Qin Jun obviously couldn't bear it the next day.

"Yang Shuai, there is no way to go on like this. They have a lot of people, and they are obviously replacing the siege at a fixed pace, but we have no replacements, and the tung oil is almost exhausted. If this continues, it will drag us to death."

Seeing that the morale of the army was getting lower and lower, Liao Pengcheng, who was in charge of guarding Hanyuan City, found Yang Tiancheng. Not to mention the soldiers who fought day and night, even the two coaches were full of exhaustion.

"They just want to drag us to death. The problem is that we don't have reinforcements, and the people don't support them. I just received news that the merchants who used to supply us with tung oil refused to supply tung oil. According to my people's repeated inquiries, it seems that Murong The family has a foot in it."

Yang Tiancheng supported his head and said uncomfortablely, if they can't continue to purchase tung oil, they will definitely not be able to defend these cities, if they retreat, other cities will not have such a natural defensive advantage, and the people, they are all focused on Shenliang , wishing that he would return to Daqin, he would definitely confront them, and their situation would undoubtedly be even more difficult by then.

"Murong's family? Didn't they retreat to Xia Guo more than a year ago?"

Liao Pengcheng's complexion was even more ugly. The situation was already unfavorable to them. Unexpectedly, the Murong family suddenly appeared. He didn't know anything else. The Murong family's financial resources were absolutely terrifying. No wonder Xia Guo was able to support so many troops fighting across the board at the same time. up.

"That's just on the surface. The Murong family has stood in the Great Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years and has a rich heritage. How can it be as simple as we see on the surface? Besides, businessmen are after profits, and the Murong family only needs to promise our tung oil suppliers. Do you think any idiot would refuse to open Xia Guo, or even Wei Guo market?"

The victory of a war, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers and the strength of the commander, must also pay attention to the right time, place and people. Xia Guo has a large number of people, elites come out in large numbers, and the financial support of the Murong family, even the people of their own country are looking forward to They, and they, don't know if the food and grass will be cut off one day, and they blame the late emperor and the emperor for being too cruel and offending the Murong family to death. Otherwise, as Qin people, how could they stand on their side? opposite?

"It's useless to talk about that now. As for the tung oil, we may tell His Majesty to ask the Ministry of War to raise it on his behalf. The question is, how can we support the Ministry of War to send us tung oil, and we can't just rely on tung oil."

Liao Pengcheng sighed deeply. It's useless for them to struggle with what they have already lost. Now they can only focus on the status quo. Xia Guoming clearly wants to take the three cities violently. How to break the deadlock is the most important thing.

"This commander has sent someone to rush back to the military newspaper for eight hundred miles, but Liao Shuai, let's not get too high hopes. Now we have only two choices, or defend the city desperately after the tung oil is exhausted, and we can defend it for a day. One day, or abandon the city and retreat, retreat to the next city to replenish the source of troops, let the soldiers rest for a while and fight again."

"As a general, how can you abandon the city and flee?"

Almost immediately, Liao Pengcheng rejected the proposal to abandon the city and retreat without even thinking about it. He had already retreated enough in the Northeast battlefield, and his life's wisdom was ruined by those defeats. In particular, the sudden retreat of the Ling family's army led to the defeat of the entire Liao family's army. All the way, relying on the garrisons in Jiedu's cities to barely support him, that was the greatest insult in his life. Emperor of Tao.

"If you stay in the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood, and retreating is a helpless move. Liao Shuai, your reaction is too violent. Don't forget, this commander is the commander."

Seeing this, Yang Tiancheng stood up with a whoosh. He knew why Liao Pengcheng was so stubborn, wasn't it because of his defeat in the Northeast battlefield and his hatred for Qin Yunlie and others?But is now the time to dwell on those?Is his personal honor or disgrace more important than the lives of thousands of soldiers?

"In short, my Liao family army will not retreat."

After the two stared at each other for a while, Liao Pengcheng walked away, and after a while, Yang Tiancheng sat down and sighed deeply: "Shuai Liao, do you know that if we are defeated, Qin Yunlie and his wife will not hurt the captured soldiers But none of us leading generals can survive?"

Once they die, the families far away in the imperial city will inevitably suffer, and the consequences are absolutely unbearable for them.

"Pass down the order and defend the city with all your strength."

I don't know how long it took for Yang Tiancheng to leave the tent of the Chinese army. Even if he had to retreat in the end, he would have to break Xia Jun's two front teeth first, at least it's not time to make a decision yet.

At the same time, the border town of Chen State also encountered a fierce attack from the army of Wei State. However, the two countries have been seriously ill to the border town since then, and they are still in an evenly matched state for the time being. No one knows that Chen Zhiyuan is also married to Pei Yuanlie. Similarly, he personally came to the border town to take command.

"how?"

After a series of tasks were arranged, Chen Zhiyuan waved back and forth, and two slender figures appeared out of thin air. Chen Zhiyuan leaned on the chair with a lazy expression, his eyes narrowed leisurely, as if he was not surprised by the attack from the Wei army.

"It has been arranged, and we can start it later."

The two of them knelt down on one knee at the same time, Chen Zhiyuan nodded vaguely, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the chair: "Yang Tiancheng and Liao Pengcheng won't be able to carry it for long, so do it as soon as possible, this action will undoubtedly expose our arrangements. All the spies in the Xia army are only allowed to succeed and not to fail."

"Yes."

One of them clasped his fists and got up to leave. Chen Zhiyuan said to the other person, "Tell Beichen that we can start."

"Yes."

The remaining person also took the order and left. Chen Zhiyuan opened his eyes, his deep pupils were filled with suffocating viciousness and murderous intent. If Xia Guo can join forces with Wei Guo, why can't he join forces with Bei Chen?Qin Yunlie wanted to eat them step by step, but it wasn't that easy. He wanted to see who would eat who in the end.

Ding'an City Military Medical Account.

After another day of fighting, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin State dropped significantly. The soldiers of the Xia State were rarely hit by arrows, and most of them were burned by fire. This kind of injury will not kill people, but it can make people feel painful. He did not participate in the rescue of the soldiers anymore, but asked someone to set up a small tent for him next to the military medical tent, and prepared burn ointment with willow leaves and a few dark guards, so as to make the soldiers suffer as little as possible pain.

For Shen Liang, preparing this type of ointment was easy and not very challenging, but the conditions on the battlefield were difficult, and he could not have whatever he wanted. It took him a long time before he took it with him. Two barrels of prepared ointment came to the military doctor's account.

"Is there any burnt soldier just sent, the injury is more serious."

After recruiting a military doctor, Shen Liang asked in a deep voice. The military doctor's tent was still filled with the wailing and pain of the soldiers, as well as the strong and disgusting smell of medicinal herbs.

"Yes, my lord, please come with me."

Although he didn't know what he was going to do, the military doctor respectfully took him to a soldier who was howling in pain. His body was burned extensively, his face could no longer be seen, and his chest, stomach and thighs were the hardest hit areas, scorched. His skin and flesh could even smell burnt. The military doctor and the medical team were cleaning his wound. Even though he drank the boiling soup for him and cleaned the wound with cotton soaked in alcohol, he still let out a sharp cry of pain.

"Be careful to avoid the silver needles, and the cleaning speed will be accelerated."

Without saying a word, Shen Liang squatted down and took out silver needles to seal several big holes of the soldier. The soldier's cries of pain were obviously relieved a lot. After taking the cotton yarn handed over by Liu Ye, Shen Liang carefully cleaned it for him. Unrecognizable face: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you die."

"Well... the emperor, the queen..."

In fact, the soldier was so painful that his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see clearly, but when he heard the word Bengong, he still knew that the person who was helping him with his injuries was the Queen. How many soldiers can be found who can be healed by the Queen himself?

"Stop talking, your throat is burned."

Shen Liang smiled softly, and after the wound was completely cleaned, he asked someone to bring the ointment he made himself: "Xiao Zhuozi, help me to apply the ointment evenly on the wound, remember, don't apply it too thick, thin it One layer will do.”

"it is good."

Xiang Zhuo made one command and one action. Due to the limited time, the ointment was directly packed in a large wooden barrel, which was inconvenient to use. The little military doctor at the side shook his head and went to the camp next door to get a wooden spoon for ladling soup. Spoon and hand them the ointment in a clean medicine bowl.

"Thank you."

After receiving the medicine bowl, Xiang Zhuo and Shen Liang started from the head and feet, and at the same time, they used a cotton cloth dipped in the ointment to spread evenly on the wound.

"Well... so comfortable..."

An unexpected situation happened. The soldier who had been screaming for pain before let out a comfortable groan. Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Shen Liang kept moving his hands, but smiled and said, "I added a large amount of ointment to the ointment. The medicinal herbs with cooling effect are also added with some analgesic medicinal materials, all the ointments used before are discarded, and this is used instead, and Liu Ye will tell you the specific configuration method."

"Yes."

Whether it was a military doctor or a medical team, everyone responded unanimously. It can not only heal the wound but also relieve the pain, so that the soldiers will suffer less. Naturally, they cannot refuse such a good thing.

"It seems that this ointment really works."

Shen Liang withdrew the silver needle for pain relief, and he didn't cry out for pain until the soldier was bandaged, which proved that his special ointment was indeed more effective than the ointment prepared by the military doctors. Shen Liang wiped his hands and stood up: "Yang Peng, Pai Personally send Fangzi to the military medical accounts in Shenyang City and Hanyuan City, and ask them to replace it with this ointment."

"Yes."

Yang Peng appeared to take the prescription from Liu Ye, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Liang Liang, you are really good, do you need to change the ointment of the rest of the soldiers?"

Xiang Zhuo gave him a thumbs up. The soldier with such severe burns was so comfortable that he fell asleep, which shows how effective his ointment is. In comparison, the other soldiers in the camp were much more uncomfortable.

"Forget about the soldiers who have already applied the medicine today, and change it when they change the medicine tomorrow. Don't talk about that, go help the other soldiers with the medicine."

Looking at the tents containing hundreds of wounded, Shen Liang shook his head. Most of the hundreds of people here are dealing with their wounds. As for those who have been treated and don't need blood transfusion, all of them have been transferred to the back tents. They are only treating them. People will spend a lot of effort, and there is really no need to start all over again.

"Ah."

The two looked at each other, then turned around and took the military doctor and Yi Gu into the treatment of the wounded.
