The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1733

Chapter 1733: 848 The Strongest Three Bosses (2 taels)_2

At the city gate, a medical officer and a city guardsman carried a blood-soaked injured soldier on a stretcher. Suddenly, the medical officer stepped on a corpse on the ground, staggered, and the stretcher tilted.

"Ah—" The medical officer turned pale with fright.

This was a patient with a severe fracture. He couldn’t afford another fall, or he would lose his life! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

A strong hand firmly supported the stretcher!

The guard lifted his eyes and respectfully said, "General Ji!"

Ji Pingchuan, the commander of the northern city defense.

"Th-thank you, General Ji." The medical officer from Shengdu, hearing the guard address him as such, also followed suit in calling him General Ji.

General Ji nodded slightly, "Is everything alright?"

"It’s all fine now." The medical officer adjusted the stretcher again and, together with the soldier, entered the northern city gate.

Shortly after, another group of men and horses arrived on the scene.

Ji Pingchuan turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to the leader of the group, "Lord Chang."

Although both were generals, their ranks were different.

Chang Wei was the head of all the city guards, the marshal of the border pass.

Chang Wei dismounted, looked at the bloody scene, and frowned as he asked, "What exactly happened? How did the Liang Country retreat?"

Ji Pingchuan replied, "The court sent four reinforcements."

"Four?"

Chang Wei was very surprised. It wasn’t the small number that surprised him but that with so few, they forced the 80,000 troops of the Liang Country to retreat.

Ji Pingchuan explained, "They assisted Commander Xiao in disrupting the rear of the Liang Country’s army, beheaded Chu Feipeng, and audaciously sounded the retreat horn. The Liang Country’s army was in chaos with their commander killed, their morale plummeted, and they truly believed it was their own leaders calling for retreat. They all withdrew. The Hei Fengqi pursued them victoriously, killing many more of their troops."

Can it be done like this?

What kind of rogue tactics are these?

Chang Wei didn’t know what to say.

Truly, only the timid go hungry, and the bold find success. Whatever it means to turn war into art, this is it.

The success rate of this strategy was less than ten percent, and if it were Chang Wei, he would never have achieved it.

One, he couldn’t kill Chu Feipeng, and two... how did they even think of sounding the enemy’s retreat signal from the rear!

"How is Commander Xiao’s condition?" Chang Wei asked.

As she entered the tent, the old Marquis left.

The female medic made a grim assumption in her heart, but when she saw that the young commander was indeed unconscious, unable to do anything inappropriate towards any woman, she became even more perplexed.

"So why call me?"

Still wondering, the female medic undid the young commander’s armor. When she used scissors to cut open the blood-soaked clothes, she froze completely.

...

Gu Jiao slept like the dead, only waking up by the third day’s evening.

When she opened her eyes, the female medic was changing the dressing on her arm wound.

A cold, instinctive alertness flashed in her eyes, startling the female medic enough to make her hand tremble, dropping the medicinal powder.

"I’ve seen you before; you are the accompanying medic." The vigilance in Gu Jiao’s eyes dissipated. She sat up and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

The female medic picked up the medicinal powder, still shaken, "Three days."

Gu Jiao said, "So long, how is the battle situation?"

"The Liang Country’s army has retreated; they suffered heavy casualties and likely won’t attack the city again in the short term," the female medic said, glancing at Gu Jiao’s clothes, "Little... Little Commander, you..."
