"General, please rest assured. The main force of the bandits in the city has been defeated by our army!”
"The leader of the bandits, Li Xiucheng, wanted to escape during the chaos, but he has been captured by our army. The whereabouts of the two bandit princesses have also been discovered by our army. They are currently in pursuit. I believe we will receive good news soon!”
Zeng Guoquan said confidently. They had already taken down the bandits 'lair, so what was there to worry about?
"Report!"
At this moment, a fast horse came from outside the city. A soldier who had come to deliver a message galloped over and entered Tianjing City.
Zeng Guoquan saw that it was the people he had sent to pursue the Princess of Taiping Country.
Therefore, she said to Zeng Guofan with a smile,
"Commander, our soldiers must have caught the bandit princess!”
After saying that, he waved at the soldier who reported the news."Have you caught the bandit princess? Where did you keep her?”
He heard that the hair bandit's princess was only 28 years old, young and beautiful.
Hence, he wanted to take such a beauty as his own and enjoy her, so he was especially concerned about Princess Yi Mei's whereabouts.
However, things seemed to be completely different from what he thought.
"Reporting, reporting to the commander, the princess of the bandits has escaped!”
The soldier who reported the news said in fear.
"What is it? How was this possible? There were so many of you. How did you let her escape from your hands?”
When Zeng Guoquan heard this news, he was instantly enraged and kicked the soldier who reported the news to the ground.
Zeng Guofan stopped him and asked,
"What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
A moment later, after the soldier reported the whole story, Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan looked at each other.
Zeng Guoquan was still furious. He pulled out his sword and pretended to kill the soldier who reported the news. He cursed,
"You must have neglected your duty. You only cared about burning, killing, and plundering along the way and did not seriously carry out the mission I gave you. That's why the princess of the bandits escaped. In the end, you made up such an excuse to deceive me and the marshal!”
"They said that monsters descended from the sky and that a single blast killed hundreds of people. How can there be such a powerful weapon in this world? Do you really think that the marshal and I are easy to fool?”
Zeng Guoquan didn't believe what the soldier said at all because what the soldier described was completely beyond his knowledge.
Moreover, if the hair bandits really had the ability to summon the Heavenly Soldiers, why didn't they summon them when the Xiang Army besieged the hair bandits 'base, Tianjing City?
If the Heavenly soldiers were really as powerful as the soldier who had reported the news, then they might not even be able to protect themselves, let alone take down Tianjing!
And the result?
Didn't they still break through Tianjing City?
Compared to Zeng Guoquan's rage, Zeng Guofan was much calmer.
After he asked the soldiers in detail about the time and place of the enemy's appearance, he said to the general beside him,
"General Liu, lead your troops to the scene of the incident. I will give you the heavy artillery battalion provided by the foreigners. If there are really enemy warships on the river, use the heavy artillery to sink them!”
Beside Zeng Guofan, a tall general in full armor immediately walked out from the crowd and knelt on one knee to receive the order.
"I will not fail my mission!"
"Yes!"
Zeng Guofan nodded his head in satisfaction. Liu Songru was a valiant general under his command.
This person's martial arts were strong, and he was unusually brave in battle. He did not care about his life when he fought.
He had braved the enemy's bullets several times and led the charge to break through the enemy's defense line. He was known as Little Bao Chao in the army.
With him and the heavy artillery that the Xiang Army had bought from the foreigners, even if there were warships like the soldiers said, they would be able to destroy the other party.
Therefore, Zeng Guofan stopped paying attention to him after he finished explaining this matter.
"Let's go and take a look inside the city!"
He was very curious about the Taiping Country Army. What kind of palace did they build?？
……
On the other side, on Flame Dragon, Uncle Hong was out of danger after the rescue by the medical staff.。
Looking at Uncle Hong, who had escaped death and saved his life from the gates of hell, Princess Yi Mei cried tears of joy and was grateful to Lin Yu.
"Thank you, thank you for saving Uncle Hong!”
"You're welcome. We've already removed the bullet from his body. If the wound doesn't get infected, there shouldn't be a problem!”
Lin Yu glanced at the patient on the bed and said to Hong Tianmei.
"Is the wound infected?"
Hong Tianmei, who was initially very happy, immediately dimmed when she heard this.
In ancient times, because there was no special antiseptic medicine, a wound infection was very fatal.
The Taiping Country Army had been fighting for many years, and countless soldiers had died from infected wounds.
Princess Yi Mei, who had seen this situation, was very worried.
Uncle Hong was old and his body was not as healthy as young people. She was very worried that he would not be able to survive this.
"But you don't have to worry. We've already given him antibiotics. With this, there's no need to worry about the wound infection!”
Seeing her worried look, Lin Yu smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Princess Yi Mei's face instantly turned red. In this era, men and women were not allowed to touch each other. If the other party touched her body, he had to be responsible for her.
However, Lin Yu obviously did not realize this. He was only comforting the other party out of concern. He did not have the intention to take advantage of the other party.
"Really? Are you lying to me?"
"Of course. How can a man lie to a woman?”
Naturally, Lin Yu did not lie to him. Flame Dragon did have antibiotics.
Moreover, this item could be purchased from the system store. It was not considered a particularly expensive item.
However, Uncle Hong had lost too much blood. There was no blood bank on the ship, so there was no way to give him a blood transfusion. Therefore, he was still in a certain degree of danger. Whether he could successfully survive would depend on his own luck!
"Captain, the reconnaissance plane has discovered a situation!”
At this moment, the soldier found Lin Yu and reported the latest situation to him.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"About 10 kilometers away from the river, an army is approaching us. Moreover, we found dozens of heavy cannons among them!”
