After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 295 I Don’t Want to Lose My Husband Before Getting Married

Tang Yuhuai stayed behind and did not enter the city until most of the soldiers had safely retreated into the city.

As the city gate closed again, the Western Chu soldiers who were struggling to rush into the city were completely blocked outside the city gate.

Qi Minsong was seriously injured. After Yun Jiyu withdrew, his injured hand could no longer hold the spear. The heavy spear fell to the ground and almost hit his foot.

The soldiers guarding his mount had not yet had time to ask Qi Minsong for his opinion on whether they should withdraw their troops first and temporarily set up camp to rest and recuperate.

Qi Minsong's body tilted and he fell off his horse. His confidant discovered it in time, but it was too late to act.

Qi Minsong still fell headfirst to the ground.

The Western Chu army fell into a brief chaos, and Qi Minsong, the main general in this battle, actually fainted in public.

This made the already unstable military morale even more demoralized, making the situation even worse.

I don't know who started shouting, "General Qi is dead! The general is dead!"

The rumor spread so widely that even his confidants didn't have time to explain, and the rumor that the general was dead spread instead.

On the battlefield, the death of a commander is a huge blow to morale.

"What should we do? General Qi is dead!"

"I can't fight any more. I want to go back to Xichu. I want to get on the ship!"

"We can't fight this war. We can't win. The defenders of Xi'an are like devils. We can't defeat them at all!"

"What do we do now?"

"The general is dead, why are we still fighting?"

Panic is like a disease that spreads quickly and cannot be stopped quickly.

It will just spread from one person to another, like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.

The discussions became louder and louder, to the point where they were almost reckless. They no longer cared about the Zhou soldiers on the city wall, nor did they care about military law. Many soldiers wanted to turn around and flee.

Qi Jianshu snatched the bow and arrow from the archer and aimed at the back of a soldier who was trying to desert.

The arrow hit him right in the back, went through his chest, and killed him instantly.

The deserter who struggled to escape didn't get far before he was shot by Qi Jianshu's arrow.

Qi Jianshu's eyes were cold and sharp, and he swept his sharp gaze over everyone, as if silently saying - this is your fate.

"You all forgot the military order, didn't you? On the battlefield, whoever dares to retreat without the commander's order is a deserter. Deserters will be punished by military law and killed without mercy!"

There must not be the slightest mercy on the battlefield, because such emotions will make them weak.

Sometimes a commander needs some drastic measures. Without such measures, he will not be able to control the troops under his command.

Qi Jianshu had not yet retracted the bow in his hand, and said coldly, "If anyone else spreads rumors and disrupts the morale of the army, they will end up like him!"

After all, he and Qi Minsong are from the same family.

The Qi family is a large family.

The glory of the Qi family belongs not only to him, but also not to Qi Minsong alone.

So the situation got out of control and Qi Minsong fainted. He had the obligation and responsibility to stand up and stabilize the morale of the troops.

In this battle, tens of thousands of them had no way to retreat, and neither did the Qi family.

They can't afford to fail.

Throughout history, emperors who sit on the throne are all suspicious and suspicious. If they lose this battle, even if they return, they will not be sentenced to death by His Majesty for the defeat...

But there will never be a day when it will be activated again.

Qi Jianshu said coldly, "Why are you panicking! General Qi is not dead, he is just injured."

"Now start to reorganize the army, set up camp, and temporarily cease fire."

He gave orders one by one, and everyone's panic was temporarily calmed.

of course,

What played a decisive role was not Qi Jianshu's words, but his decisive action of shooting the deserter at the very beginning.

This approach had a strong deterrent effect and shocked all the soldiers who were ready to take action.

So that they dare not have any second thoughts for the time being.

After all, with the lessons learned from the past, no one dares to take the risk again.

When Qi Jianshu suddenly stepped forward to give the order, although the other generals felt dissatisfied about being overstepped in their authority, fortunately they still knew the importance of the matter and did not challenge him on the spot.

Qi Minsong was injured and fainted. At this time, they could not withstand the slightest turmoil and doubt within the group.

With the truce order, the soldiers of Western Chu automatically retreated and moved closer to the river dam.

Set up camp.

The South Gate, which had been "bustling" for several days, finally became quiet.

"Go treat the injury first." Chu Xi pulled Jiang Zhenyao up, ignoring his own pain, his eyes fixed on Jiang Zhenyao's right arm.

Jiang Zhenyao really gave it her all this time in order to defend the city of Xi'an with them.

As a woman, everyone wants to be clean, smooth and flawless, but Jiang Zhenyao had several very deep wounds on her arms and back.

The bones inside were vaguely visible, and even after they were healed, the wounds could not be completely removed.

In ancient times, when girls were taught to obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage, having scars on their bodies was definitely not a good thing for them.

"Chu Qibai, next time something like this happens, don't rush to the front alone!" Jiang Zhenyao was exhausted and could only stand with the help of Chu Xi supporting her arm.

But even so, she was still thinking about what she hadn't finished saying.

"I don't want to lose my husband before I get married. It's unlucky."

Chu Xi's face was dark, "......"

In fact, there is no need to worry about this. Their engagement is just a temporary contract, a helpless move.

Jiang Zhenyao had never seen Chu Qibai like this before. The young man who remained calm in the face of tens of thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield, looked a little embarrassed because of her words.

This contrast made her feel happy.

As soon as the corners of her lips rose, she fell down completely. Chu Xi caught her and sent her to where the military doctor was.

"Military doctor, please help me check her condition!" Chu Xi didn't care about his own injuries and carried the person to the wooden bed first.

Chu Er went with her and followed closely behind her.

Although he knew that his master was a woman, he wanted to share his master's worries and took Jiang Zhenyao from her hands.

But because Miss Jiang is now the master's nominal fiancée, before the master's identity is exposed, she is the real Crown Prince.

As a follower, he cannot touch the "future mistress" easily!

Rong Qingzhu heard Qibai's voice. Before he could figure out the situation, he saw Qibai gently placing Jiang Zhenyao on the wooden bed.

He was stunned at first, and then he felt an inexplicable...strange feeling in his heart.

The scene of Qi Bai walking in holding Jiang Zhenyao was suddenly indescribably jarring. It was obvious that Qi Bai was holding his legitimate fiancée, even though it was unreasonable.

But in special circumstances, it’s okay to temporarily put etiquette aside.

After all, they are an engaged couple. As long as they are sure to get married in the future, even if they are a little intimate now, it will be a great story when the news gets out in the future.

The betrothed couple fought hand in hand to defend their country, risking their lives.

Throughout history, there have been few such beautiful stories.

Maybe in a few days, the storyteller will have one more story to tell.
