Suddenly, Tian Feng seemed to think of something, and whispered: "Lord, if the Yellow Turban Army is still entangled with General Huangfu Song's troops at this time, and we arrive tired, we will be eaten by the Yellow Turban Army immediately." Do you want to give away our lives? You must know that these 9,000 people now are your real blood. In the future, even if you are no longer an officer and will no longer lead troops, this army will still be your loyal subordinates, and they will only listen to your orders. In Northern Xinjiang, as long as you ascend to the top and shout, they will immediately gather under your command and serve you with their lives. Are you crazy to send such a subordinate to the enemy's sword? ”

Li Yi glanced at him gratefully, and smiled reluctantly: "A brother is a brother." ”

Tian Feng asked, "What did you think at that time?" I told you to rest twice, and you ignored me? In the eyes of others, you may earn a reputation for faithfulness, but in the eyes of our old comrades, you are a madman? ”

Li Yi pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said slowly: "If the person who is surrounded by Zhang Jiao is me, what will you do?" ”

Tian Feng was speechless.

"Although we don't know General Huangfu Song, and his subordinates are not our friends, we all fight with the same banner, and we all fight for the Great Han Kingdom. Is there any difference between saving them and saving your comrades-in-arms and friends? This is morality, the morality of being a human being. Li Yi said solemnly, "If I were here, not to mention that there are still 9,000 people, even if there are only 100 people, you will kill them without hesitation." ”

Tian Feng looked at Li Hong with a solemn expression and said softly, "I understand." ”

Zhao Yun, who had been listening to them on the side, suddenly shouted: "Big brother, there are still alive." ”

Li Yi and Tian Feng turned their heads in surprise and saw Li Xin and a few soldiers carrying a person, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, hurrying over.

Li Yifei dismounted and strode up to meet him.

………………

Qiao Mao was hit by an arrow in the chest and slashed in the back. But miraculously he didn't die.

Seeing Li Yi's disheveled face, Qiao Mao said with difficulty: "General Li, you came so fast." It's a pity ......"

"Do you know the whereabouts of General Huangfu Song?" Li Yi asked loudly while checking Qiao Mao's injuries.

"Nope." Li Xin said, "We searched carefully, and only a dozen people were still alive, including a military officer. He was kicked by the enemy and broke his ribs and remained unconscious, so he narrowly escaped. ”

Qiao Mao looked at the Youzhou Army soldiers around him, and felt very uncomfortable. He once insulted them in front of Li Yi. But today it was they who saved themselves from the pile of dead.

"My lord, the arrows on his body are deep in the flesh and bleeding non-stop, so it is best to pull them out immediately. But the position of the long arrow is very close to the heart, if you pull it out hard, I'm afraid it will ......" Li Xin pointed to the long arrow on Qiao Mao's chest and said to Li Yi worriedly.

"How about not pulling it out for a while?" Tian Feng said, "After the Yellow Turban Army won a great victory, they hurriedly retreated. The battlefield was not even cleared, which shows that they were exhausted and anxious to rest the army. It's been a while now, if they make a comeback. We will be surrounded immediately. Let's retreat first. ”

Li Yi shook his head, he was a special soldier who had crossed over from the afterlife, and he also knew something about the treatment of this injury, he said: "The wound has been bleeding. It is estimated that it will not last long. If he rides away with us, and has a bumpy ride, he will die in no time. ”

"But the lord ......," Tian Feng hesitated. said, "...... It's getting dark. ”

In fact, what Tian Feng wanted to say was that the Suijiashan battlefield was too close to the Yellow Turban Army camp, only more than thirty miles away, and the Yellow Turban Army could arrive at any time. And if you want to pull out the arrows on Qiao Mao's body, it is obviously not something that can be done in a short time. This is likely to put the army in jeopardy.

"Order the army to assemble and leave immediately." Li Yi said loudly: "Tell Zilong, take the wounded, and evacuate to Ling County overnight." ”

Li Yi turned to Tian Yu and shouted, "Guorang, light the torch." ”

"The guard battalion stays, barrel-shaped formation, and be on guard."

"Bring me the liquor I brought with me, and the little box I always carried!"

……

The rapid and low sound of drums and horns suddenly resounded on the battlefield of Suijiashan, and the cavalry soldiers scattered everywhere rushed to the battle flag one after another, preparing to assemble and leave.

Under the command of Tian Yu, the personal guard battalion quickly formed a barrel-shaped defensive formation with Li Yi's cavalry general's battle flag as the center.

The next moment, dozens of torches were lit.

Zhang Fei galloped over and asked anxiously, "Big brother, why don't you leave?" ”

Li Yi pointed to Qiao Mao, who was lying on the ground and was dying, and said calmly: "When I dig out the arrow on his body, I will withdraw immediately." ”

Zhang Fei glanced at Qiao Mao contemptuously, he obviously remembered what happened when he was in Qingyuan, he was very dissatisfied with Li Yi's approach, and said loudly: "Can his life alone be worth the lives of six hundred brothers of my Youzhou Army?" Big brother is not too much. ”

Of course, Li Yi knew the reason for his dissatisfaction, so he didn't care what he said at all. Wave at him and signal him to leave as soon as possible.

Zhang Fei spat at the ground fiercely and beat the horse away.

"General Li, you guys hurry up, I can't do it." Qiao Mao said movingly, "Thank you, I'm no longer good." ”

Li Yi laughed, handed Qiao Mao a reassuring look, and said confidently: "Don't worry, you will live." ”

Soon, Li Yi took matters into his own hands and sorted out a flat place in the middle of the venue and spread a piece of cloth, which was the operating table.

By the time he was ready, the guards had already brought everything he had ordered.

Glancing at Qiao Mao, Li Yi opened the small box, which contained a set of simple surgical tools. A white cloth was covered with slots and all kinds of instruments.

These instruments are polished very brightly, there is no way, there is no stainless steel in this era, it can only be polished by hand.

Handing Qiao Mao a small wooden stick, motioning for him to open his mouth and bite it. Then after making some more instructions, Li Yi began to operate.

First disinfect the knife with alcohol, find the right part, Li Yi calmed down, and went down after entering the state.

Li Yi had done such a simple operation in his previous life, and after coming to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he had also done it a lot, so it was easy to understand and went very smoothly.

However, Qiao Mao, the client, was forced to do so, and there was no numbness and boiling anesthesia, so it really hurt to go down the knife. Qiao Mao didn't have Guan Yu's courage, and he could scrape the bones to cure the poison without frowning, not to mention that the injury was still close to the heart.

Looking at Li Yi's bright knife next to his heart, Qiao Mao even suspected that he was going to kill himself with a knife.

Fortunately, Li Yi prepared a small wooden stick for him in advance, otherwise he would have to bite off his tongue.

Li Yi's craftsmanship was good, and it only took a few minutes to take out the arrow cluster, and Qiao Mao was also liberated. After Li Yi disinfected the affected area with alcohol and bandaged it, Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The process was very smooth, there was no Yellow Turban Army to make trouble, and Qiao Mao himself was also considered to have backbone and did not move.

After seeing the arrow cluster being taken out, Qiao Mao was completely convinced by Li Yi. This famous cavalry general is not only a god general on the battlefield, but even this medical skill is unpredictable.

Qiao Mao knew very well that with an injury like his, even the famous imperial doctor Zhang Zhongjing of the Son of Heaven came, and he was probably helpless. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, that is, the legendary dragon Hua Tuo who saw the head and the tail could save his life.

………………

Huangfu Song and Xu Rong fled back to Pingyuan City under the protection of Liu Bei, counted the defeated soldiers who fled, and found that less than 3,000 men and horses had escaped. With Liu Bei's 3,000 men, the two armies were less than 5,000 people.

Coupled with the 5,000 men and horses of Liu Ding, the Taishou of the Plains stationed in Gaotang City, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Plains County. But the Yellow Turban Army they have to face still has more than 100,000 troops.

Huangfu Song and Liu Ding rode to the court with a speed of 800 miles and asked for reinforcements.

At this time, in the two states of Jizhou and Qingzhou, only Li Yi's Youzhou Iron Cavalry was still able to fight, and there were 10,000 troops of Cao Cao's army who were still marching in the vicinity of Yuancheng in Wei County, and the rest of the counties had no extra troops.

This is all because the Great Han Kingdom has not experienced wars for a long time, and the court has abandoned the military affairs. Originally, there were still a certain number of county soldiers in various prefectures and counties, but because bureaucrats at all levels were corrupt and took bribes, they took military salaries, resulting in a serious shortage of actual soldiers.

After the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves this year, although the imperial court adopted the suggestions of Huangfu Song and Lu Qiang, agreed to pardon the party members, and let the prefectures and counties organize the army, but after all, the time was still short, and a lot of soldiers and horses were withdrawn some time ago, which made it difficult for Pingyuan County and Qingzhou to organize enough troops in a short period of time.

Completely different from the dilemma of the overstretched officers and troops, the Yellow Turban Army completely annihilated the officers and troops in Suijiashan, and their morale was greatly boosted.

After Zhang Jiao sobered up, they immediately prepared to assemble a large army under Zhang Jiao's planning, seize the plain city north of the river and Gaotang City and other plain county cities in one go, and then go south to Qingzhou to open up a new battlefield.

The Yellow Turban Army lost about 80,000 people in the First Battle of Suijiashan, and the troops of Yang Feng, Zhang Niujiao, and Chu Yan all suffered losses, but the Yellow Turban Army commanders from all walks of life, at the request of Zhang Jiao, quickly gathered 100,000 people in Hejian State, Anping State, and Bohai County, and quickly moved south.

On the tenth day after the Battle of Suijiashan, all the Yellow Turban armies gathered under the city of the plain. 200,000 people, under the command of Zhang Jiao, took Pingyuan City in one day, and Huangfu Song and Liu Bei had to lead the army to retreat to West Pingchang in the east of Pingyuan County, and they didn't even dare to stop at Ande County halfway.

After conquering Pingyuan City, the Yellow Turban Army divided the official army of Pingyuan County into two parts, and Gaotang City to the west became an isolated city.

The Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Zhang Jiao, once again surrounded Gaotang City. As long as Gaotang City was taken, the Yellow Turban Army opened the passage to the south. (To be continued.) )
