Chapter 488: Although the general has taken off his armor, his light is still ten thousand feet high

Under the night, a temporary shed was built under a corner of the city wall near the east and west of Yunwu City.

A strong smell of blood wafted from it.

You could smell it before you even got close.

Torches were inserted around the wooden shed, and several huge bonfire basins were lit inside the shed.

Several diviners holding withered grass were dancing around the seriously injured soldiers lying on wooden boards with the withered grass in their hands.

Inside and outside the shed, several doctors and apprentices were busy.

The ground washed by basins of bloody water was stained black and red.

In a low-lying area next to the shed, a water pit that looked like a blood pool was formed.

The painful wailing could be heard clearly from far away.

When the patrolling soldiers walked to this position, they couldn't help but stop, and didn't even dare to look.

Because maybe tomorrow they would also lie here, wailing in pain like these people.

The five-man patrol team had just passed by the wooden shed under the leadership of the squad leader when they saw a team of people walking in this direction.

"Who is it, stop!"

The squad leader shouted vigilantly.

In the face of war, there was a curfew in the city, and no commoner was allowed to walk on the street after nightfall.

The firelight illuminated, and a red warhorse with a strong body appeared in the squad leader's line of sight.

When he saw the Red Dragon Cloud-Treader, the squad leader immediately straightened his body, and then looked at Duan Yu riding on the horse with reverence.

"General, the subordinate didn't know it was the General..."

Duan Yu on the horse waved his hand, then turned over and got off.

Tie Shitou and a group of personal guards who followed Duan Yu also dismounted with Duan Yu.

"It doesn't matter," Duan Yu looked at the squad leader and smiled slightly, "Loyalty to duty, this is what you should do."

The squad leader was encouraged by Duan Yu's words, and immediately trembled slightly with excitement all over his body.

Hearing that Duan Yu had come, several doctors who were busy in the shed also walked out one after another to pay respects to Duan Yu.

"I don't know why the General came here late at night..."

One of the elderly doctors asked with his body bent.

Duan Yu's gaze fell on the wooden shed behind the old man: "I came to see the wounded."

"How are these people's injuries?" Duan Yu asked.

The elderly doctor took a deep breath, then shook his head with a heavy expression: "The injuries are too heavy, my medical skills are not good, I cannot save them, I hope the General will punish me."

"It's not your fault," Duan Yu lifted his foot and walked toward the wooden shed.

The closer he got, the stronger the smell of blood became.

Coupled with the soldiers with various injuries lying on the wooden boards, it looked like a Shura prison in this shed.

Several diviners were still waving the withered grass and copper bells in their hands, muttering some rhythm that no one knew.

Listening to the wailing in the shed and the miserable scene in front of him, Duan Yu frowned.

Just as Duan Yu had walked into the shed for no more than two steps.

He suddenly felt his feet stop.

Looking down, he saw that it was a seriously injured soldier who reached out and grabbed the war boots on Duan Yu's feet.

The soldier's armor was soaked in blood.

The flesh on one thigh was rolled up, as if it had been cut open by a sharp blade, and the pale bones inside could be seen.

"General... General, give me a quick death, General,"

The soldier pulled Duan Yu's war boots and begged, "General, it's too painful, I can't stand it, anyway I can't live, General, just give me a quick death."

Behind Duan Yu, Tie Shitou and others who followed Duan Yu into the shed suddenly stopped.

Duan Yu looked down at the soldier.

Then he bent down and squatted beside the soldier, and then held the blood-stained hand in his hand.

The soldier gritted his teeth, his muscles trembling slightly because of the pain, and there was a layer of water mist in his eyes.

Like this soldier's situation.

Basically, he could only wait for death.

It's better now, because it's autumn, if it were summer... this wound would only be more miserable than it is now.

Maybe it had already stunk and attracted mosquitoes and flies.

"What is your name, and is there anyone else in your family?" Duan Yu asked after squatting down.

The soldier nodded and said, "General, my name is Hu Liu, I... I have a wife who just married into the family..."

When mentioning his wife, a desire for life appeared in Hu Liu's eyes.

However, it was only for a moment, and this desire was suppressed by the cruel reality and reason.

Hu Liu was not a soldier for the first day.

With such injuries, he could still be alive now because he was still in the city.

If this were on the march, I'm afraid he would have been abandoned on the side of the road, waiting for the beasts to gnaw, and let him fend for himself.

This is not cruel.

It's just that everyone would do this.

In the shed, at this moment, all the wounded soldiers, all the wounded soldiers who could still open their eyes and hear the sound, looked at Duan Yu.

In those eyes, they were full of hope for life.

And also full of despair for the world.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, the doctors outside the shed, including the patrolling squad leader, were all looking at Duan Yu.

Facing the soldier's request, Duan Yu shook his head gently.

"General... kill me, please General, I don't want to wait for death like this..."

Duan Yu still shook his head, but his hand held Hu Liu's hand, who was begging him, tightly.

"I'm sorry, I can't promise you."

Duan Yu said while shaking his head.

A despair immediately appeared in Hu Liu's eyes.

Then the next second, Duan Yu continued: "Because this is unfair to your newlywed wife!"

"I said during the day that as long as there is an inch of Han land under my feet, I will retreat step by step."

"As long as there is one commoner behind me, I will not retreat a single step!"

"Now." ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
