Chapter 700 1 Military Stick
Chapter 700 1 Military Stick
He regretted that his battle plan was not detailed enough and did not take into account various possible situations.
He also regretted not sending more soldiers over. He knew that they were the enemy's elite troops, but he still underestimated the enemy's strength.
General Li walked towards the military doctor with a serious expression on his face. He felt uneasy. He was eager to know how serious their injuries were.
As soon as he entered the tent, General Li saw the military doctor concentrating on treating a charred hand.
The hand had been burned beyond recognition and was a horrible sight.
General Li's heart tightened. He squatted down hastily and asked anxiously, "How is it? Can this hand be saved?"
The military doctor slowly shook his head and sighed with a worried look on his face, "General, this hand has been severely burned. The muscles and bones have suffered great damage. I'm afraid it can't be saved."
As he spoke, the military doctor gently grasped the charred hand, and with a little force, the hand easily fell off the arm and dropped to the ground with a muffled "bang".
The owner of the hand screamed "Ah" and fainted.
The military doctor's tent was filled with wailing sounds, which were miserable and sad.
Lian Yi stood outside the tent, thinking to himself, "This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and then walked into the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Lian Yi was enveloped by the strong smell of medicine and blood.
She frowned, but still walked up to the general.
"General," Lian Yi's voice trembled slightly, "this battle was truly horrific. You didn't even see the brothers who were burned beyond recognition while trying to protect the food! Some of them were completely burned to charcoal, their bodies shattered into pieces at the slightest touch..."
At this point, Lian Yi's voice gradually became low, as if he couldn't bear to describe the horrific scene any further.
She paused, then continued, "Now, whenever I close my eyes, that horrific scene will appear before my eyes. I really... really don't dare to think about it anymore."
After saying this, Lian Yi's eyes became slightly moist.
When General Li heard Lian Yi's words, he felt as if his heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer. The pain in his heart was beyond words.
Lian Yi glanced at General Li's expression calmly and thought to himself: The time has come.
She paused for a moment, then slowly said, "General, if Miss Xiaoni had gone with us, perhaps the outcome would have been different."
"After all, she's so smart and clever. Maybe she could come up with some better strategies and avoid sacrificing so many brothers."
General Li's eyes turned red instantly. He clenched his teeth and tried hard to suppress the grief in his heart.
After a long while, he replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "This has nothing to do with her. I asked her what she thought, and it was also my final decision."
"If you want to blame this, blame it on me. If she hadn't reminded us in time, we probably wouldn't have been able to prepare so early."
After saying this, General Li seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and continued, "I should be punished because my wrong command caused so many brothers to lose their lives."
"I'll go get a hundred military sticks right now."
Lian Yi was extremely anxious. She rushed to General Li and opened her arms.
"General Li, absolutely not! If these 100 military sticks strike us, our lives will be in danger! You are the backbone of our army, and we have to rely on you to command the remaining tough battles!"
"Those brothers who have already sacrificed their lives don't want to see you suffer, so why do you have to endure those hundred military sticks?" Lian Yi said earnestly with an anxious look on his face.
However, General Li remained unmoved. He had already made up his mind to accept the punishment of the 100 military sticks.
Seeing this, Lian Yi's hatred for Niu Xiaonier grew stronger.
She really couldn't understand why General Li was so partial to Niu Xiaoni.
He was reluctant to even say a harsh word, and even took all the responsibility on himself. Now he has to bear the punishment of these one hundred military sticks.
"It would be great if there wasn't someone like Niu Xiaoni..." Lian Yi gritted his teeth.
The most important thing right now is to not let General Li be punished. Even if the military stick hits General Li, my heart will hurt more than General Li's.
Since his attempt to persuade General Li was ineffective, Lian Yi decided to find another way.
She suddenly thought of someone, perhaps only that person could persuade General Li.
At this moment, Lian Yi no longer cared whether she felt uncomfortable inside. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find Ni'er as soon as possible.
Despite being injured, she still endured the pain, dragged her exhausted body, and staggered towards where Nier was.
Because she knew very well that only Ni'er had the ability to convince General Li.
Lian Yi finally arrived at Ni'er's tent.
She gasped, "Is Miss Nier here?"
When the princess in the tent heard a female voice, she immediately realized that the owner of the voice was Lian Yi.
Today, Lian Yi actually came to her house on his own initiative, which made the princess a little curious as to why.
The princess gently patted Ni'er's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I've got your back. Even if ten Lian Yis come, you don't have to be afraid of her."
Nier nodded. The princess's comfort did have some effect.
Then, Nier walked out of the tent and saw Lian Yi standing not far away.
However, the person in front of her surprised her.
Lian Yi looked haggard and pale as paper, and his originally neat hair had become disheveled, as if blown by a strong wind.
What's worse is that Lian Yi exudes a strong burnt smell, which is completely different from the arrogant general she knew before.
Lian Yi seemed to have noticed Ni'er's gaze. She bit her lip uncomfortably, then said with difficulty, "I have something to ask of you..."
Ni'er looked at Lian Yi suspiciously, thinking to herself, "Is this guy crazy? He rushed over so aggressively, and I thought he was looking for trouble, but who would have thought he had a request from me?"
Ni'er calmed down and said slowly, "What's going on?"
Lian Yi looked anxious and said very quickly: "Don't ask any more questions, just follow me!"
After saying this, she turned and left, as if she couldn't delay even a moment.
Seeing this, the princess would not let this opportunity go easily. She quickly followed him and asked as she walked, "Where are you going?"
Lian Yi continued walking, explaining, "General Li...he's going to be punished with a hundred military sticks! That's enough to kill someone! Right now, you're the only one who can persuade him."
