Chapter 378: The Yuan Clan Army Lays Siege
Bai Wei smiled, but she did not answer.
"You want to occupy Daliang? You are dreaming! As long as I am here, Daliang will not fall, and I will never let you set foot on the land of Shenzhou!"
Her voice was crisp and resonant, imbued with an inviolable power.
Kimura froze for a moment, then suddenly threw himself to the ground and kowtowed to Bai Wei.
"Shennü Daren, please come to our Fusang Kingdom!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly crawled on his knees a few steps and prostrated himself before Bai Wei again.
"Shennü, General Tokugawa will surely honor you above all others and grant you the highest rites. All the people of Fusang will revere and worship you! If you come to Fusang, your status will be above that of the Shrine Maiden! If you are willing, you can even be titled a noble Princess, enjoying the supreme glory of being above ten thousand people, second only to one!!"
Bai Wei stepped back in disgust. "I will not go to your place! I was born a person of Shenzhou, and the blood of Huaxia flows through my bones. You think a mere Princess title can make me leave this land? You are dreaming! Who cares for this Princess title? Even if you made me a General, I would not go!"
She raised her gun and aimed it at Kimura.
"You have killed many people of Daliang; now, the time has come for a blood debt to be paid in blood."
However, Kimura seemed not to see the danger; his face was full of earnestness, and ignoring his injured arm, he desperately tried to crawl forward.
"Shennü, Daliang is already rotting. Please come to our Fusang, we will surely..."
Bang!
A gunshot rang out!
Kimura's voice stopped abruptly, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
Bai Wei stood before him, expressionless.
Whether in ancient times or the modern era, as long as she had the ability, she would never let any enemy who coveted this land go.
Bai Wei flicked her hand, teleporting the gun to the Warehouse, then hurried to Zhou Yanli's side to look down and check on him.
Zhou Yanli was still unconscious, looking extremely weak.
"His life is not in danger, but the wound is still bleeding; it must be treated immediately!" After checking the injury, Bai Wei immediately retrieved a batch of medical supplies from the Warehouse and began emergency treatment on Zhou Yanli right there.
She picked up the Surgical Scissors and cut open Zhou Yanli's clothes, seeing a deep wound on his ribcage.
Bai Wei immediately picked up a Hemostatic Injection, administered it, and then used a high-polymer biological hemostatic dressing to cover the area around the wound, temporarily stopping the bleeding for him.
She had to perform surgery to remove the Bullet.
Bai Wei looked up, anxiously scanning her surroundings.
The sounds of slaughter outside had gradually ceased.
But a troop of soldiers could break in at any moment and interfere with her surgery.
"I must find a safe place to perform surgery on Zhou Yanli and remove the bullet. I cannot be interrupted halfway, or the surgery will fail, which could cause him to hemorrhage."
Just as she was thinking this, a flurry of messy footsteps suddenly came from the entrance.
Immediately after, the courtyard gate was violently pushed open.
Xiao Moting rushed in with a large group of soldiers, looking urgent.
The crowd was in a sorry state; almost everyone was stained with blood, and many were injured, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.
Xiao Moting was in full combat gear, holding a sword in his hand. Dried blood stained his handsome face, and his high ponytail was very messy, with a few strands of sweat-dampened hair sticking to his cheeks.
"Xiao Moting!" Bai Wei stood up urgently. "How is the situation at the front? Have the Fusang People been defeated?"
Xiao Moting looked up and saw Bai Wei; his tense expression visibly relaxed.
He strode over.
"The Fusang People have been subdued. We also captured over a dozen prisoners and seized three of their Light Cannons."
At this point, his voice turned hoarse.
"But our side also suffered many casualties. Four of the Northern Frontier Army died in battle, and over thirty of the Peasant Army led by Leader Zhang also fell. Even more are injured!"
As he spoke, Xiao Moting immediately continued in a hurried tone.
"Bai Wei, the Yuan Clan troops have arrived. The Dye House is now surrounded by the Yuan Family Army! They have over thirty thousand men, and our chances of winning are slim. It is very dangerous here; you must return to your world quickly."
"What?" Bai Wei was so shocked that she held her breath. "The Yuan Family Army has surrounded this place?"
She could not go back.
If she left, Xiao Moting and the others would not be able to escape, and Zhou Yanli, lying unconscious on the ground, would have no choice but to die. "I cannot go back now."
"No!" Xiao Moting usually listened to her, but this time, his attitude was exceptionally firm.
Bai Wei was also resolute. "I am not leaving. I cannot abandon you all here."
Qin Zhan ran over. "The Yuan Clan troops are about to arrive. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
Xiao Moting stared at Bai Wei. Seeing that she refused to yield, he took a deep breath and turned to give an order.
"Lu Jing, Bai refuses to leave. You take her and go first! If she won't go, tie her up. On this journey, her life is in your hands! Even if you have to sacrifice your own life, you must ensure she is sent out of here safely."
Bai Wei was stunned. "Xiao Moting, you are going to force me away? Lu Jing, don't listen to him."
Xiao Lujing stepped forward, his fist pressed against his chest. "Even if I die, I will send Sister Bai out!"
After the fierce battle, he also looked very disheveled, his face covered in blood, but his eyes remained cold.
Zhang Yu also walked over, stumbling while clutching his arm.
His arm had been slashed by a blade, and the wound was only haphazardly wrapped with strips of rags.
Zhang Yu did not know that Bai Wei could travel through time and space, so he said:
"Bai, the Yuan Clan troops have already surrounded the Dye House; we cannot get out! However, we will carve out a bloody path and let Xiao Lujing take you away."
Bai Wei looked at the disheveled crowd before her, her head spinning.
"Wait, I didn't say I wanted to leave. How did you all decide this on your own? And what about you if I leave? Are you staying here to wait for death?"
Zhang Yu said, "Since the Yuan Clan troops have come, we will fight them!"
A soldier beside him gave a bitter smile. "We can't win. Everyone just fought a brutal battle against the Fusang People; the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, our blades are chipped, our equipment is mostly broken, and we have no energy left to fight. The Yuan Clan troops have over thirty thousand men, all well-equipped and well-rested. How are we supposed to fight?"
Suddenly, a soldier from the Peasant Army ran in, panicked.
"Leader, the Yuan Clan troops have already slaughtered their way into the front courtyard and are about to charge in!"
Following his words, a burst of hoofbeats and footsteps came from the open ground in front of the courtyard!
The hoofbeats were thunderous, and the footsteps were extremely uniform; one could tell at a listen that an army of ten thousand had arrived, and even the ground was trembling slightly along with them!
The surrounding Peasant Army was instantly thrown into a panic.
"Leader, the Yuan Family Army is slaughtering their way over, what should we do?"
Zhang Yu's expression also changed, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Moting.
Fortunately, Xiao Moting was very calm; he was a veteran of the battlefield who had commanded thousands of troops and horses.
He quickly glanced around the surroundings and made a prompt decision, issuing an order.
"There are high walls around this courtyard, and they are very sturdy; even if the Yuan Family Army surrounds the courtyard, they won't be able to break in for a while! Immediately send troops to guard the courtyard gate; the gate is narrow, so it won't be that easy for them to slaughter their way in."
