Chapter 243: The Ming Volunteer Army Prepares

"Father... Father Emperor... your son is useless..."

Wei Xikang choked, as if he had returned to the time when he followed his Father Emperor when he was a child, but this time...

There would no longer be his Father Emperor's gentle teachings!

The Vice General didn't speak, guarding on the side, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and the doctor also waited on the side without daring to make a sound!

After waiting for a long time, Wei Xikang's emotions finally calmed down, a kind of near-dead silence covering all the expressions on his face.

"Your Highness!" The Vice General and the doctor immediately surrounded the couch.

Wei Xikang's gaze turned to them, his voice hoarse to the point of being almost inaudible: "... Speak!"

The doctor dared not hide it, briefly but clearly stating the injury: the right arm was broken from the shoulder, it couldn't be saved! The left leg arrow wound pierced through, and it needed to be dealt with immediately.

Wei Xikang listened quietly, just twitching imperceptibly.

He closed his eyes, for a moment!

When he opened them again, only determination remained inside: "Do it!"

"Your Highness!" The doctor hesitated, "Gouging out flesh and taking the arrow, the pain is not something a person can endure!"

The remaining sentence was stuck in the doctor's heart; he was afraid that the Crown Prince would be pained to death alive!

Moreover, Wei Xikang had lost too much blood, his physical condition was extremely poor, and it was even harder to survive the pain of gouging flesh!

Wei Xikang twitched the corners of his mouth, seemingly wanting to show a mocking smile, but failed.

"Dead... it's all over... saves trouble..."

The Vice General turned his head and wiped a tear, "Your Highness... don't say such discouraging words..."

"No matter... do it!"

The Vice General and the doctor looked at each other, neither daring to make a decision, after all, this matter concerned the Crown Prince's life.

Finally, the Vice General nodded heavily, "Prepare to do it!"

The doctor took a deep breath, "Light a few more lamps, the brightest ones! Hot water, clean cloth, as much as possible! Bring me that set of golden needles and the fastest dagger, roasted with fire."

The main camp was suddenly busy, and the Vice General summoned four old soldiers, two fixing the Crown Prince's shoulders and intact left arm, and two pressing his waist and legs tightly.

Then the wailing in the main camp lasted until dawn before stopping. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Wei Xikang passed out again, his pulse thin but considered stable.

But the most dangerous moment had not yet arrived; there would definitely be a high fever afterward, and only after surviving that could it be considered smooth.

And the real difficulty lay in...

How would Wei Xikang face his own disability of a broken arm and the limp of his injured leg after waking up?

At this moment, in a small forest five miles to the left of Lin City, a person was climbing to the top of a tree, holding a telescope and constantly peeping.

The confrontation between the Zhenbei Army and the Xiongnu last night was all seen in his eyes, and at this moment, he was analyzing the situation with a serious face.

He was a scout under Wang Hou, sent by Wang Hou to the front line to find out the news.

But Lin City was heavily guarded, and he couldn't get in at all, so he could only find a good position and constantly observe with a telescope.

When he first came to squat, it was calm, and then he saw the Zhenbei Army fighting the Xiongnu in the middle of the night, but he didn't know where the battle was fought. The next day, he found the Xiongnu playing with the Prince of Zhenbei's head.

Then the Zhenbei Army fought the Xiongnu again. This time he saw it clearly, and the Zhenbei Army was defeated.

The scout touched the cloth bag behind him; the dry food inside was nearly bottoming out, but his goal was not this.

He took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pen from the cloth bag and began to write freely.

The reason why Wang Hou sent him here was not only because he was clever, but more importantly, he was literate, although not much!

The scout wrote a lot in his own way, and after ensuring that Wang Hou could understand his meaning, he jumped to the bottom of the tree and took out a cage from the forest, inside which was a carrier pigeon!

"Little baby! This time it's all up to you, quickly bring the news back!"

Tying the letter to the pigeon's leg, the scout released it, expecting it to find the location smoothly.

Then the scout cleaned up the scene to ensure there were no omissions before leaving quietly.

The dry food he brought had bottomed out, so he had to go!

And the first time Wang Hou received the letter, he went to find Jiang Jinshi.

"Big brother, there is news from the front line!"

Jiang Jinshi had not relaxed during this period, just waiting for the news from the front line.

"Speak quickly!"

"The Prince of Zhenbei is dead! Two great defeats on the front line!" Wang Hou briefly told Jiang Jinshi the situation.

"Is the city gate broken?" Jiang Jinshi stood up; if the city gate was broken, he must prepare for battle immediately.

Wang Hou shook his head: "According to the letter, not yet!"

Jiang Jinshi walked back and forth twice and ordered Wang Hou: "Immediately! Call everyone to assemble!"

"Yes!"

Wang Hou was very excited; this meant that their Ming Volunteer Army was finally going to raise the flag!

Although the city gate was not broken for the time being, according to the current situation, it would be in these few days. Jiang Jinshi must make arrangements as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard by the Xiongnu.

Soon everyone gathered together, still the same group of people, all with an eager impulse on their faces.

Jiang Jinshi didn't talk much, "The Prince of Zhenbei has been defeated and died tragically under the hands of the Xiongnu. Now the Zhenbei Army is leaderless, and the city gate being broken is only a matter of time. We must prepare as soon as possible."

Luo Feng grinned: "Big brother! Don't worry! Always ready!"

"Having been in the northern frontier for many years, I really don't know what is scary about these Xiongnu, just practice this time!" Xiexiezi was even more unafraid, his tone extremely arrogant.

"Is it going to be fought? Who goes first?" Zhang Honghong was as straightforward as ever.

"Preparations still need to be made!" Jiang Jinshi pointed to Luo Feng, "You should all know about the secondary fusion of divine power, right?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes shone; could it be that their opportunity had come?!

"Can we too?" Jiang Ze pointed to himself, his joy clearly expressed in his tone.

Jiang Jinshi nodded: "That's right! It's just as you think!"

Immediately after, Jiang Jinshi didn't talk much. There were still many things to arrange later, so he didn't go through those superficial processes.

Facing the system page, Jiang Jinshi chose to summon SSR!

【Obtained God of Killing—Soul of Bai Qi!】

【Obtained God of War—Soul of Li Jing!】

Then Jiang Jinshi recruited SS, and combat power at all levels had to be supplemented.

【Obtained Great General Charging to the Sky—Soul of Huang Chao!】

【Obtained Tiger Might General—Soul of Zhao Yun!】

Jiang Jinshi calculated roughly, and it was about enough, so he didn't recruit anymore. These should be enough for now!

Bai Qi's fusion was given to Xiexiezi, Li Jing's fusion to Jiang Ze, Huang Chao's soul to Huang Yan, and Zhao Yun's soul to Zhang Honghong.

It was difficult for Wang Hou to find a martial general soul suitable for him, so Jiang Jinshi didn't prepare to change it for him.

Plus Wang Hou's position was special, giving him such a commander-type martial general was a waste.

And Nie Fengyun and Wang Sixi and others had fused before, so they didn't need to be upgraded for the time being.

Then Jiang Jinshi said to Wang Hou: "Within one day, I want the news of the Prince of Zhenbei's tragic death and the Zhenbei Army's great defeat to spread throughout the northern frontier!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Jinshi didn't want to be any unknown hero. Only when the people all knew the situation on the front line would it appear that the appearance of the Ming Army was in accordance with the will of heaven! ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
