Chapter 28: Timely Help
Feng Xiyan helped Fan Wanming and Ding Zhenshun up, and looked at their bodies covered in blood. He didn’t know whose blood was on them, but he could see the deep wounds under their torn clothes and armor.
Feng Xiyan turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Escort General Fan and General Ding to the infirmary. Let Physician Yan treat their wounds."
The soldiers clasped their fists and responded, "Yes, Great General."
With their current conditions, Fan Wanming and Ding Zhenshun knew they couldn’t fight, so they bowed once more and said, "Thank you, Great General."
Feng Xiyan nodded and let them leave. Then he turned to observe the battlefield below.
Standing at his side, Xue Ruhong said, "Great General, we have used up all our oil and arrows. If we don’t meet the enemy head-on, it will be hard to defend the city wall."
Feng Xiyan frowned and shook his head, "We can’t fight them head-on."
Just as he said that, Kai Mu shouted, "They are out of oil and arrows! Climb the wall and destroy the gate!"
On his command, the sound of war drums suddenly changed.
Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!
In an instant, the fast, deep beat of the war drums boosted the morale of the Yuezhi Tribe’s soldiers.
