In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 190 More

Hearing this voice, the people behind were also shocked:

"Aren't these the soldiers from Nan Xiang? They're here too?"

The young soldier on the roadside was now holding a broken sword, his face was covered with blood and dirt, but one could see a pair of bright black eyes with a smile in them.

"Yeah, I didn't expect them to be so loyal! I never thought about it before. If I had known, I would have hit them less harshly."

The person next to him took advantage of the fact that there was no danger at the moment and quickly chatted with the people around him. They had been physically and mentally exhausted during this period of time and could finally relax for a moment.

"What are you talking about? Don't hit them too hard. We were beaten black and blue by them before. Have you forgotten? If it weren't for the help of the witch, we would have been killed by their swords long ago."

"Well, no matter what, now that they saved our lives, I can finally take a break. I've been fighting for six days straight."

After saying this, Tukar made a gesture and the Zhenbei Army retreated. Then, their 30,000 strong army, all elite soldiers riding on fat and strong war horses, rushed forward at once:

"Why, you are so courageous now that you dare to fight against the Zhenbei Army? Don't you know that the Zhenbei Army is a divine team protected by witches?"

The general from the Western Regions across from him didn't know who he was, but he looked fierce and not someone to be trifled with.

"I don't care what the Zhenbei Army is like. With my 20-man army today, they will sooner or later become the souls under my sword! And you are just here to die!

"Besides, why would you leave your position as the leader of Nanxiang and go to Yunjin to be a dog? The people of Yunjin are good at talking, but they have nothing to show for it in terms of fighting.

"There's not even a regular army in the imperial city. They just let a half-baked and unpopular prince lead a group of so-called soldiers and call them the Northern Guard Army. How ridiculous."

He said that the words were full of humiliation, but Lu Yan was too tired and ignored him, but Tukar retorted:

"You overestimate your own abilities and underestimate your enemies, which makes you feel very happy. But after a while, when you cry out in pain under my sword, you will understand.

"I'm not trying to be Yun Jin's dog. I'm just Yun Jin's ally. Besides, what does it have to do with you no matter what I do? As long as I can ensure the safety of my people and make their lives better, that's all."

What he said was indeed true. Ever since he had a good relationship with the people of Yunjin, the witch had been sending all kinds of supplies to the people of Nanxiang all the time throughout the year.

For a whole year, no one in Nanxiang even starved to death, and the witch often came to impart knowledge to them.

The witch taught them how to better herd cattle and sheep, how to choose seeds for grazing, how to grow crops, and how to raise other animals. Although this knowledge is a bit difficult to learn, it is indeed a life-saving straw for them.

The seeds sent by the witch grew three times more food than what they had here.

If someone is sick, the witch will take him to the bamboo forest nearby to nurse him back to health.

For a whole year, the witch was like a god to them. Since the witch was from Yunjin, what was wrong with them helping the witch to defend Yunjin?

After all, they have been protected for a year, and now they have only protected the witch once, which should make them feel more at ease.

Even if they didn't come today, I'm afraid their wives, children and elders at home would be anxious to come. After all, those dear family members have been conquered by Xu Qingyin's personal charm.

"Stop talking nonsense. At worst, let's fight to the death!"

Although the general in front of him looked fierce, he was actually speaking in a weak tone.

After all, although the Zhenbei Army was exhausted after fighting for 6 days because they had fewer people, 20 of their 8 troops were temporarily recruited. Although the remaining 12 were the same as the Nanxiang people, they were no match for their elite troops.

What's more, they have been fighting for 6 days in a row. They are exhausted and their morale has dropped a little.

At the beginning, those soldiers thought that they could attack together because the Zhenbei Army was so small in number, and their morale was relatively high. However, when they saw that the Zhenbei Army only lost 5,000 people while killing 20,000 of them, and saw their desperate fighting style, confident means, and well-trained moves, they felt timid in their hearts.

Now people from Nan Xiang are coming to attack us. We didn't have any hope in the first place, and now we have no hope at all.

Sure enough, when the Zhenbei Army retreated back to the tents to treat the wounded, within three days, the Nanxiang Army had defeated them step by step.

"Why, little boy from the Western Regions, how's my swordsmanship?"

Nan Xiangyun’s combat effectiveness was indeed not exaggerated. With only 30,000 people, he had already scared them so much that they dared not move forward anymore.

"Don't be so cocky too soon. You only have 30,000 people. If you anger the Queen Mother later, you'll be in big trouble. Just wait and see."

They finally retreated, but the Zhenbei Army also suffered heavy casualties, so they did not have the ability to continue pursuing the victory.

After Lu Yan thanked Tukar again and again, he returned to the tent and saw Xu Qingyin repeatedly using the bracelet to move the medicines used by the wounded.

He saw that there were deep bruises under Xu Qingyin's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Have you had a hard time these days?"

Xu Qingyin smiled and shook her head, but she sounded weak when she spoke:

"How can it be hard? How can I possibly be harder working than you, the frontline soldiers? They could lose their lives at any moment. All I can do is to provide you with as little help as possible."

Xu Qingyin was sincere when she said this. She felt heartbroken when she saw the hundreds of soldiers lying on the ground groaning with their arms and legs broken off in the tents.

In today's society, even if a person accidentally loses a toe, he or she may undergo very sophisticated surgery to reattach the toe.

But now, some of these soldiers who have dedicated themselves to their country have lost their limbs, but can only use the lowest or even most common bandages to bandage their wounds due to insufficient conditions and insufficient military doctors.

Even though she had almost no time to sleep on weekdays, she couldn't take complete care of each of them. When she thought of this, she felt her heart twitching and wanted to do more.
