The Legend Of Beishang
194. Sudden Attack

Lin Beishang's flat face turned into a face of pain while inside the quiet tent. Lin Beishang sat down and prepared his medicine then undressed his outer clothes that were soaked with blood.

Lin Beishang steeled his heart and pulled the arrow on his shoulder in a single unplug, Lin Beishang refrained himself from shouting, his eyes widened when the arrow was plucked from his body.

His body trembled slightly when an extremely frightening pain hit his body, but he could not linger for long.

Directly pouring medicinal powder on his wounds to stop the enlightenment, Lin Beishang sizzled softly as the medicinal powder touched his wounds.

It was so painful of course even an adult man would scream in pain, but Lin Beishang just hissed softly.

Lin Beishang gently hugged himself to ease the pain, had long since had no physical injuries of this kind and his body had become spoiled.

Up until now, this kind of wound could hardly be borne by him, Blood had stopped flowing thanks to the natural healing that his body possessed very quickly and thanks to the medicinal herbs brought by him, of course.

After resting for 10 minutes and making sure that he was fine, Lin Beishang put on his outer robe again and walked forward.

"What about our victims ?" Asked Lin Beishang steadily.

"Gongzhu, you've just been stabbed with an arrow and no healer has taken care of you. You better rest first. " Speak General Yu with worry.

"It's okay, I'm a healer myself, I can treat myself and now I'm fine. Let's talk about how to deal with this next. " Said Lin Beishang to General Yu.

The two of them discussed strategy, Lin Beishang listened to every opinion of General Yu patiently which made General Yu amazed.

Lin Beishang also combined the strategy he had, their army was limited, their weapons were even more limited.

There was nothing to do but defend, they could only attack a little and defend a lot.

Lin Beishang and General Yu were people accustomed to the battlefield, it was naturally easy to understand each other's plans.

In an instant, they had devised a good defensive plan and would definitely make them successfully defend Lanyue City until the relief forces came.

While on the other side,

Bei Zhao and the 500 troops brought by him had reached the forest towards Lanyue City, arriving ambushed by dozens of people or even hundreds of people who came out from behind the thick bush.

"Groan !" Shouted the leader of the enemy forces with a black hood.

"Heart heart !" Shouted Bei Zhao to his soldiers.

His soldiers directly descended from the horses and charged at the enemy fiercely while Bei Zhao himself did not stay silent and directly faced the leader.

"Master Chu Haoran, you have a good position given by my Lord. Why did you choose to insist against him ? " Ask the person Bei Zhao was fighting against, it was a female voice.

"You must be Chu Linfei's subordinate, right ?" Ask Bei Zhao.

The person in front of him looked a little surprised as he managed to guess correctly, Bei Zhao only let out a cold snort before several tens of others, came out the chest of the bush and attacked their troops as well.

Bei Zhao's heart was overwhelmed by anxiety about Lin Beishang's state, however they couldn't resolve this quickly, it would be at least 1 hour late or at most 3 hours late.

At that moment, then it must have been too late. Bei Zhao became even more anxious after thinking about this but tried not to show him before the enemy.

"How do you know ?" Ask the person in front of him.

"Just make it easy, Chu Linfei is broad-minded and calm, would not mind pulling me back as long as I obey him. While Chu Huli was a fiery and hot-tempered person, Chu Huli would not offer me a position in her place anymore. " Bei Zhao replied with a sneer.

"Can you stand in my way ?" Ask Bei Zhao.

"I won't be able to hinder you let alone stop you, all I can do is postpone you. At that time, all you could encounter was bones !" Say the person in front of him.

"Can you hold me for a long time ?!" Ejek Bei Zhao and start fighting.

The strength of the person in front of him was simply not inferior to him, seemingly at the same Emperor stage as him.

But, how is it possible ? Will there be any major changes happening ? The level of the Emperor that was never there, suddenly appeared in a number that was not small.

The coincidence that made him and Lin Beishang become Emperor Stage alone could already be considered a miracle, but the person before him was also an Emperor Stage.

"How could I not ? My strength and your strength are the same, I cannot be said to be Chu Linfei's subordinate. " Say the woman in front of him while blocking his sword.

"Then, if it is not Chu Linfei's subordinate, then you are Chu Huli's minion ?" Ask Bei Zhao.

"Right but wrong, someone like you will never understand this. People who grow up full of cold like you, will never understand the emotions possessed by humans. " Say the woman.

"What can I not understand ? I thought you didn't understand me. " Bei Zhao said sarcastically while their swords were constantly clashing, they were fiercely clashing.

While in Lanyue City, still with the upcoming war, without feeling 2 hours have passed and the relief forces are still not coming.

Lin Beishang was not surprised just that he was a bit disappointed, Lin Beishang had predicted this, not because he did not believe in Bei Zhao.

Rather, the traitors within this Empire were too many and the villains were in the dark while they stood in the subordinates of light which made them easily monitored by the villains.

It would not rule out the possibility if Bei Zhao was being delayed, their goal was to kill him.

Lin Beishang's gaze turned cold upon thinking of this, either Chu Huli or Chu Linfei, he would avenge them tenfold in the future.

"General Yu, prepare. Since the relief forces have not arrived until now then we can only carry out the second plan. " Said Lin Beishang.

"It was fortunate that Gongzhu had compiled this all x, otherwise this Old General would feel perplexed to do something. " Said General Yu.

"It's okay, at this moment the most important thing is to defend Lanyue City, because if they manage to enter then they will directly attack the capital. " Said Lin Beishang.

Hearing his words, tears flowed like creeks on General Yu's old face.

"We keep this City dead for the Capital and the Palace, but the Palace does not even send help wholeheartedly. It even made Gongzhu suffer here with us. " Said General Yu sobbing.

"Various warriors who have grown up with me, ranging from 15 years old or even have become adult men and become the father of a small family should be the victims. We have been asking for help since 3 days ago, now leaving nothing. " Continue General Yu sadly.

The other soldiers were also saddened to hear this, they had a father, mother, son, and wife. Of course it is hard to run this deadly war.

"We devoted our lives to the Palace but the Palace did not even turn its head when one of us died, were we not human beings worthy of reckoning. " Speak General Yu can no longer bear to see the soldiers he has trained since young, falling one by one.

Even Lin Beishang's hard heart felt uneasy about this.

"Trust me, the relief force is coming. The most important thing is to defend not attack, if your condition worsens then retreat. If anyone dies here then I swear to protect and support your family. "Chap Lin Beishang seriously.

"Gongzhu, there's no need to suppress yourself. We all struggle here, you burden yourself like this. Will we be happy ?" Wail one of the soldiers sadly.

"Right, Gongzhu need not feel guilty." Say something else.

"Gongzhu is a great and brave man, life and death are not important anymore. At the very least, people will know that we are fighting a great woman like Gongzhu !" Said the other soldier with a cheerful smile.

"Yes, life and death don't matter anymore !" Shouts the others.

General Yu wiped his tears and forced himself to smile. General Yu took him to advance further so that their words were not heard by the others.

"Gongzhu, you've made a lot of progress. This child is not evil, it's just too naughty at first to look down on you. I hope, in the future if I die then Gongzhu will take care of them for me. " Said General Yu with a sad smile.

"What do you mean, General Yu ? How can you be so pessimistic ?" Lin Beishang asked with a hint of anxiety.

"The battlefield is out of control, this old man just wants to beg Gongzhu for Gongzhu to take care of them, most of them are orphans but there are also those who still have an old father and mother. "Speak General Yu.

"General Yu, you take it easy. Even without your word, I will do this too. " Say Lin Beishang with a frown.

Lin Beishang once heard that General Yu and his wife were great army leaders of his time.

But, his wife, his son, all went first on the battlefield. So as to leave only himself in this cruel battlefield.

Before long, the war would start again and everyone took up their weapons vigorously.

Lin Beishang stood at the forefront with a Sword he had taken on the ground.

"Will not return without victory !" Shouted Lin Beishang.

"Will not return without victory !"Shouted the others with a burning spirit.

"No matter how old or young, I will bring you home either alive or dead !! "Shouted Lin Beishang once again, Lin Beishang felt that his chest had become a little claustrophobic due to this.

"Will not return without victory !"

"Will not return without victory !"

The soldiers continued to shout words that burned their spirits even more.

They charged forward and Lin Beishang decided not to play anymore, with a deadly attack, his sword was covered in blood so quickly.

The sword stuck in the heart of the person then pulled back heartlessly, Lin Beishang looked at his Imperial troops who were fighting deathly and vigorously.

His eyes became a little hot but Lin Beishang still felt to hold this thing back, one by one the soldiers who had once supported him, fell down with swords stuck in their chests.

It turned out that this was the feeling of being a General, seeing one by one his subordinates die tragically and not getting any rewards from the Emperor.

The Emperor treated them as if it was their duty and opened the responsibility of the Palace to deal with this.

How many children and wives have been left in this war, how many wives have lost husbands and how many children will never see their fathers again ?

Seeing their optimistic smile before the war made Lin Beishang's chest become tight from seeing one by one his people fall down.

Lin Beishang had become even more brutal in killing enemies, even his face had been filled with the blood of his enemy.

People surrounded him and surrounded him, at this time out of a lack of heart, his hair ribbon was cut by a sword and his hair was fluttering wildly.

His gaze was flushed red and hateful, since the enemy had forced him all the way to the corner then don't blame him for being too ruthless !

His strength soared so drastically and his enemy's life was being harvested like he was mowing weeds.

But, no matter how much Lin Beishang killed the enemy, the enemies were as if endless.

But, the longer, the fewer his troops remained, the thinner his army was.

Srrreet !

Unexpectedly, a sword slashed at his hand, his hand was injured and an open wound appeared on his left hand.

His sword stuck in the neck of the man who dared to hurt his hand, here too crowded, there are enemies and there are friends.

He could not use Yue Shan, Yue Shan's attack was uncontrollable and could have attacked the wrong person.

Lin Beishang's gaze became slightly more shaded after being inside this stifling crowd.

From the start, his condition was not very good with the arrow stuck in his shoulder, at this moment even if it had exerted all its power, it was still difficult to fight against many enemies.

But, his spine was too hard and refused to give up. In this life, he had been repeatedly stepped on by others, but he had never given up ! I will never give up !

These words became an encouragement, Lin Beishang stood up with his sword and killed more people, slowly another land of wounds began to adorn his skin.

Lin Beishang was pushed forward when the sword managed to slash his back, blood had spilled completely but his pride would never spill.

Slowly the enemy land began to retreat, it meant that this war would stop for a moment and his head had been dizzy.

Lin Beishang spewed out a mouthful of blood and kneeled on one leg then put on a sword as his pedestal.

"Gongzhu !!!" Shouted General Yu from behind him.

Lin Beishang did not manage to dodge when a sword was thrown at him, Lin Beishang closed his eyes and prepared to accept the attack.

But, the pain did not come and when Lin Beishang looked back, it was old General Yu who blocked the sword with his own body.

"General Yu !" Shouted Lin Beishang when he saw General Yu's body slowly falling down.

By relying on his two knees, Lin Beishang approached General Yu and the one who threw the sword was killed by his remaining troops.

His remaining troops approached General Yu and knelt next to him.

"Gongzhu, you must keep your word. Now, this old subordinate has devoted himself all this time to the Tang Dynasty and is already very tired, it is time for this old subordinate to meet my family in the Yellow river. Tell the Emperor that the Plum Flower will bloom in spring, its beauty will never be lost even in the mud, we will never hate it, just hope that he will take a better path in the future. " General Yu said sadly as on his lap, blood flowed from the corner of General Yu's lips.

General Yu's hand full of calluses unexpectedly touched his face, Lin Beishang wanted to dodge but was immediately speechless by General Yu's next words.

"You look so much like your mother, it's a pity that your uncle, and your grandmother died first. "Speak General Yu with two tear lines.

Lin Beishang froze and could not move anymore, his body trembling in sadness.

"Ka.. you are ad... is Xia Zhong ? My grandfather ?"Lin Beishang asked with a hit.

Xia Zhong did not reply and only smiled sadly then stroked his head affectionately.

"I hope that you have a wonderful life in the future. " She Xia Zhong said sadly and coughed coughingly.

"No ! No !!! How can you leave me after saying this ?!!" Shouted Lin Beishang in pain, tears flowing unstoppably.

"Sorry." Xia Zhong said before finally completely exhaling his last breath.

"No ! Don't go ! Don't leave me ! You can't go !!"Shouted Lin Beishang while shaking his grandfather's body with two tear lines on his face.

"Don't go...... " Lirih Lin Beishang was very sad.

As if the sky could even feel Lin Beishang's sadness, dark clouds began to come at them and torrential rain began to approach them.

"Gongzhu, you are wounded, General Yu has left. You need to be treated. " Say one of the soldiers while holding back tears at the departure of their General.

"You guys go first, just let me stay here for a second. Just sec. " Said Lin Beishang blankly.

Lin Beishang sat alone in the rain while holding onto Xia Zhong's corpse which had begun to cool down, the tears and rain water had merged into one, leaving nothing behind.
