in her grandmother's arms, "Grandma is the best!" 。The old woman helped her granddaughter sit down, picked up her needlework again, and switched to a more lighthearted topic. 。Let's just stay home fo...Everyone immediately stood up, their armor clinking together with a clatter.

The guards also lifted the tent flaps and shouted, "My lord, the barbarian attack has been discovered at night. The leader seems to be Emulek!"

How do you do

Everyone was excited and eagerly requested a battle.

"My Lord, I request to be allowed to fight!"

"My Lord, let me go! I'll definitely bring this boy back alive!"

"My lord, I've fought this boy before. Let me handle him!"

The Northern army and the barbarians had fought for so many years, with countless casualties on both sides. The barbarians were also suffering greatly.

Moreover, even after Tianwu retired to the south of Yangtze River, it remained a place with a large population and strong foundations.

But the Manchu people's original number was not advantageous!

Of the five sons of the Manchu King, only Emulek, the youngest, remains.

It can be said that, as long as Emulak is captured alive, the barbarians will surely surrender.

After all, the King doesn't want to have no heirs!

Even Li Lao Si was moved. He pulled at the band, stretched his arms, and shouted, "Your Highness, let me lead the vanguard! Perhaps we can take a single decisive blow all the way to the border."

The lord waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down. Then he said, "This time, I will personally lead the vanguard to engage in battle, to scout out the remaining strength of the barbarians. If nothing unexpected happens, we will advance directly to the border tomorrow morning!"

No one dared to refute, they could only vie for the position of deputy general again, wanting to guard and protect the Marquis on the battlefield.

Finally, Wei Erniu and Jiang Cheng emerged victorious, excitedly following the Lord General into battle.

Speaking of it, it wasn't even a moment. A thousand soldiers rushed out of the camp.

Er Mu Le Ke, this fifth prince, was very favored by the old king. He had been in the Central Plains for only a few years, and he had seen his brothers being defeated repeatedly by the Northern army. Behind closed doors, he looked down on them and called them useless.

Unfortunately, he wanted to go to the battlefield and show off his prowess, but most of the time he was stopped by the old King Khan.

Now that his brothers were dead, he finally had his chance.

Thus, taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Expeditionary Army had just set up camp, he arranged for 800 cavalry to raid the camp.

But he was still thinking too simply!

If it comes to personal bravery, there are probably few in the Northern Expeditionary Army who could match him.

But when it comes to military campaigns, he's just a cowardly dog, not worth mentioning.

The Northern Expeditionary Army set up camp temporarily. Though it seemed chaotic, several squads had already been deployed outside the perimeter, keeping watch over a radius of ten miles. Anything that moved within that distance wouldn't escape their notice.

So, almost as soon as the Ermolek led his men in, the Northern Expeditionary Army discovered them.

Several dozen small squads, a total of three to four hundred men, quickly assembled and held back the enemy. After just a few moments, the Lord Hou arrived with the vanguard troops.

Eimu'erke was demoralized, roaring in anger, his guards wanted to protect him and retreat back to the camp, but he refused.

When they were struggling so much, the banners of the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived.

Er Muleke's eyes lit up immediately. Today’s mission was going disastrously, and he would definitely be ridiculed when he returned. But if he killed Xinting Hou, it would be enough for him to hold his head high.

So, he took his guards and charged right in.

Wei Erniu was also a brave general, who would be afraid of this He roared and charged forward as well.

The Marquis led his men forward, constantly instructing the guards beside him to use drums to command the vanguard troops to encircle the barbarian army in the middle.

The barbarians' cavalry saw that things were going badly and wanted to break through, but Er Mu Le Ke was still charging forward like a madman.

If they ran back on their own and abandoned the prince, they would surely be beheaded by the Khan.

But if it remains, I fear it will be slain by the Northern Expeditionary Army's blades.

For a moment, their already dim minds were utterly confused, and they could only desperately wave their sabers.

Wei Erniu and Emuleke fought for twenty or so rounds, gradually falling behind.

Those who grow up eating grains simply can't compete with those who eat beef and mutton in terms of physical strength.

The lord glanced at it, strode forward with his sword drawn, and parried Ermolek's powerful blow.

Wei Erniu let out a long sigh of relief, secretly thanking his lucky stars. He had been overconfident just now, almost going to meet the King of Hell.

Remember, his wife and son are still waiting for him at home.

Victory is in sight, but it's such a shame to have things go awry at the last minute.

Thinking this way, he drew his sword again, tugged on the reins, and stood guard beside the lord.

E Muerke's wails of distress, although brave, couldn't withstand the attrition of battle.

Finally, he yielded to retreat and found an opportunity. He turned his horse's head to run away.

The Lord changed his grip from holding to supporting, just about to fling the saber in his hand, when suddenly a dagger shot at him from the side!

The piercing gleam of frost stands out especially vividly in the dark night!

The lord leaned forward, listening to the wind, sensing something was amiss. He tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Luckily, Wei Erniu charged directly at him, knocking the Lord's body askew.

The dagger avoided the Marquis's back and plunged into his shoulder, with a soft *pfft* sound, the blade went in completely!

"Lord!" Wei Erniu and several guards rushed forward like mad.

The lord's face turned pale. Gritting his teeth against the agonizing pain, he managed to stay in the saddle.

"Seal off the message, retreat to camp immediately!"

He only managed to utter a couple of words before the pain in his wound was mixed with numbness.

The Lord could no longer hold on and fainted.

Everyone gritted their teeth and held back from shouting.

Wei Erniu leaped directly onto the Marquis' horse, pulled him into his embrace, and sprinted towards the camp.

Jiang Cheng also wanted to follow, but he couldn't leave the vanguard army unattended.

So, he quickly rallied his troops and cleaned the battlefield.

As for the fleeing Emlek, no one bothered to pay attention.

Li Laosi had previously banged on the table, reopening his wound. He was currently seeking a military doctor to re-dress it.

The army doctor was also an old acquaintance. He had previously studied medicine with Dr. Zhang and would even visit Dr. Zhang at Suijin Beach every New Year's to pay his respects and give him gifts.

At this point, the army doctor couldn't help but grumble.

"General, even if the medicinal balm sent from home is effective, you shouldn't waste it like this. The wound you just bandaged yesterday has already reopened today. If you keep doing this, I'll go report you to the Countess and Doctor Zhang."

Li Lao Si was a little flustered, smiling ingratiatingly. "Doctor Sun, you don't have to tell Zhang Divine Physician, but please don't tell my daughter. This girl is quite formidable; if she finds out, I fear I'll have to retire and go home immediately!"

The military doctor couldn't help but chuckle, "You should be more careful, you've really messed up your own arm."

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, Dr. Sun!" Li Laosi quickly patted his chest and assured him, "I definitely won't do it again, I promise to be honest from now on."

The military doctor took the things and said with a sigh, "It's a pity that these medicinal herbs at home are too rare. If they were to be promoted, I don't know how many people would benefit."

Li Lao Si put on his clothes and replied, "When the northern campaign is over, we won't need so many medicines. I'll let my daughter open a pharmacy then. When that time comes, whoever needs it will be able to buy it naturally."

"Well said!" The army doctor sighed, "After so many years of campaigning in the north, it's finally coming to an end. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the tent. Lao Si was about to go out and see what was going on when the curtain was flung open.

Wei Erniu, clutching the Lord, stumbled in. "Doctor Sun, please save him! The Lord is injured!"

Doctor Sun's legs went weak, and he nearly fell. Luckily, Li Lao Si caught the young master and gently placed him on the bed.

Dr. Sun steadied his mind and quickly checked, his face growing even more grim.

The dagger is poisoned!to make Dr. Zhang research and develop anesthesia as soon as possible. Otherwise, while suturing can save lives, it will be truly torturous!The lord held the droopy, chubby little girl. Seeing her swo...
