We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

On the third day after Yue Lingyuan returned, the Northern Barbarians gathered their tribes and began their counterattack.

This time, the Tartars came with great force, not only quickly occupying the cities they had previously lost, but also reaching the gates of Longmen Pass in less than half a month.

Yue Lingyuan was not fully recovered from his injuries, and coupled with his mistake last time, this time General Yue personally led the troops to fight.

Perhaps due to insufficient preparation, the Tatars were quickly defeated by General Yue in the first battle.

But the Tatars did not retreat. After the remaining tribesmen and warriors had all arrived, they sounded the horn of attack again.

From then on, outside Longmen Pass, there was a small battle every three days and a major battle every five days.

Often, before dawn, the sounds of horns and battle would resound through the sky.

Every day when Wen Rushi opened his eyes, all he did was save people.

The military doctors who went to the grasslands with Yue Lingyuan last time have not returned, and there is a shortage of military doctors in the camp. Wen Rushi is extremely busy every day.

One by one, wounded soldiers were carried back, covered in blood, their cries of agony, their eyes numb, their limbs mangled...

Even though Wen Rushi was already calm, the prolonged exposure to these bloody scenes and the exhaustion of constantly rescuing people made her feel increasingly irritable.

She also felt sorry for the wounded soldiers, but the endless fighting was driving her crazy.

Yes, that's right, it's just frustration.

Since reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, her cultivation level has not improved for a long time, even though she is saving people day and night.

Wen Rushi couldn't help but feel irritated.

Especially after hearing the news that the front lines had suffered another defeat.

But the battle on the front lines will not stop because of Wen Rushi's mood.

That day, after Wen Rushi finished treating the wounded soldier with a broken arm, an unexpected person was carried in, covered in blood.

It's Yue Lingfeng.

Hearing this, he was startled.

Thinking about it again, it's not surprising at all.

General Yue was a good general, fair and just. In every battle, he always led his family members to the front lines and was the first to charge into battle.

He wasn't the kind of coward who shouted slogans during a battle but hid behind the lines.

Yue Lingfeng also inherited the fighting style of the Yue family on the battlefield.

This time, perhaps because he charged too fiercely, his soldiers in the same formation couldn't keep up and he was surrounded by the enemy, losing a leg. It was only thanks to his bodyguards risking their lives to help him break through the encirclement.

The medical tent had already been moved to a location not far behind the battlefield. As soon as the person was rescued, they were immediately sent over without any delay.

Even though he didn't lose any time along the way, Yue Lingfeng still fainted due to excessive blood loss.

At this moment, he was lying on the wooden board, his right leg was half gone, only a section of his thigh remained, his face was deathly pale and stained with blood, and the cloth strips used to stop the bleeding on his thigh were already soaked with blood.

Blood dripped from the wooden plank beneath him onto the ground.

Wen Rushi acted swiftly, cutting open his trouser leg and tightly tying the rope around his thigh, but the bleeding still hadn't stopped.

If the bleeding won't stop, even if you sprinkle hemostatic powder on it, it will be washed away.

Wenru used needles to prick the acupoints to stop the bleeding before applying medicine to the wound.

Once the hemostatic powder is sprinkled on, the bleeding stops.

After cleaning the wound, Wen Rushi quickly bandaged it and gave Yue Lingfeng a Rejuvenation Pill.

As long as he can get through tonight, everything will be fine. It's just a pity that a perfectly healthy person has lost a leg.

Wen Rushi only felt a pang of regret in her heart; as for the rest, she didn't have time to think about it too much.

Since joining the army, she has seen and witnessed many disabled people, and has become accustomed to it.

Even if this person is her brother-in-law.

However, Wen Rushi was still somewhat surprised.

Yue Lingfeng is quite skilled in martial arts. After several months of battles, he has risen from a common soldier to a captain. He is no longer one of the ordinary soldiers in the army camp. He leads a team of several hundred men. Under normal circumstances, he should not have suffered such serious injuries!

Wen Ru was puzzled, so he asked the guard who brought Yue Lingfeng.

"How did Captain Yue get such serious injuries?"

"Commander Yue has been surrounded and annihilated by the enemy."

The guard's words were simple, but the danger they implied was self-evident.

Wen Rushi did not ask any further questions.

It's easy to imagine that even someone as skilled as Yue Lingfeng was so badly injured; the situation on the front lines must not be good.

Wen Rushi's thinking is correct.

This battle was rather strange.

Everyone attacked according to the formation they had practiced before. However, as soon as the cavalry attacked and engaged the enemy, and the soldiers behind were about to follow, the enemy suddenly appeared and blocked them. The rear troops fell behind, and the cavalry in front were surrounded by the enemy, and the rear could not provide support to the front for a while.

Not only the cavalry, but those who charged in afterward basically met the same fate.

Even though General Yue realized something was wrong and quickly changed the battle plan, concentrating his forces to attack one place.

This attack was still bound to result in heavy losses.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense.

"General, something strange is happening on the other side!" a deputy general said with a grave expression.

Not only did one lieutenant discover it, but others did as well.

"Damn it, I thought today would be a big battle, but I didn't expect those barbarians to resort to underhanded tactics. I don't know how those people suddenly appeared." General Yue couldn't help but curse.

If he hadn't noticed something was wrong today, he would have simply ordered his soldiers to attack in one direction.

He dared not even imagine the consequences if they charged forward in large numbers as usual, or if they were scattered and surrounded by the enemy as before.

"Could it be some kind of sorcery? I saw those people suddenly appear out of thin air and surround our cavalry." Someone muttered quietly inside the tent.

"I've killed half my life, I don't believe in these demons and monsters." Deputy General Zhang led his soldiers out.

Just as they rushed to the enemy and engaged them in battle, a troop of barbarian soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded Deputy General Zhang and his hundreds of soldiers, leaving them no way out.

Surrounded on all sides, Deputy General Zhang quickly killed seven or eight people under the watchful eyes of the crowd before finally being cut down by the enemy.

Soon, none of the other Jin soldiers escaped.

This scene silenced everyone.

For a moment, no one attacked anymore.

The other side didn't know what was going on either, and didn't attack, just stood there waiting for them to come up.

Everyone present had fought in wars for half their lives, and this was the first time they had ever seen anything like this.

General Yue remained silent.

At this moment, Xiang Ying, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"General, I have some guesses."

As soon as Xiang Ying spoke, everyone turned to look at her.

General Yue knew that his female general was quite knowledgeable, so he asked, "Please speak, General Xiang."

"I suspect those people didn't appear out of thin air; they've always been there."

"In battle, both sides always have their own battle formations, and this time, I believe they achieved this effect by utilizing their formations."

Xiang Ying was able to think of this because she knew that cultivation was possible in this world, which led her to make this guess.

"Impossible!" Xiang Ying had barely finished speaking when she was interrupted by others.
