As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Ming couldn’t help but cry.

Yin Huaixi took out a dagger from his boot and cut it across his palm. He pointed at the sky and swore, “I will sacrifice my blood to all the soldiers who have sacrificed themselves on the battlefield today. In the future, I will definitely kill Meng Duo and break through the mountains and rivers of the Northern Barbarians. With my blood as a witness, please witness it for me.” The soldiers in the field were aroused. Their eyes turned red as they shouted.

“Break through the Northern Barbarians!”

“Our army will definitely win! ”

Pairs of eyes mixed with admiration and reverence landed on Yin Huaixi. The souls of the You army were still there, and their spines were still there. Everything that had happened today had become an indelible conviction for the soldiers to trample through the Northern Barbarians.

This was a teacher of faith.

The young Yue Fei, the King of the North, had grown at an astonishing speed. He had grown into a towering tree and had the demeanor of King Li of Zhou in the past. In fact, he had even surpassed King Li of Zhou.

General Lin was sad yet gratified.

Meanwhile, Meng Duo was lying in the tent, waiting for the military doctor to help him pull out the arrow in his body.

In the battle yesterday, he and Harmon each led 50,000 troops. The 50,000 Di Army troops he led were scattered by Yin Huaixi’s unpredictable military formation.

In order to avoid falling into the encirclement of the You army, he gathered his troops and focused on attacking, fighting and retreating.

In the chaos, he saw King Yue Fei sitting high on his horse. He slowly took off the longbow on his back, nocked a long arrow, and aimed at him.

Meng Duo was shocked. No matter how he dodged, the long arrow on King Yue Fei’s bow seemed to have eyes that were fixed on him. King Yue Fei was accumulating strength and waiting to shoot, looking for the most suitable time to shoot.

He recognized the bow.

The Northern Barbarians were a hunting race. They were famous for being strong and good at riding. They were good at archery.

This Tremor Bow was a famous treasure bow among the Northern Barbarians.

It had been passed down for countless generations. It was said that it was made of the horn of a swallow ox and the tendon of a hundred-year-old black snake. It was extremely divine.

This bow was the spoils of war his father, Meng Ying, had obtained when he was young. In the battles of the various races in the grassland, his father had obtained the prize of being the number one warrior in the grassland. After that, for more than 30 years, he had accompanied his father to draw the bow and shoot. He had never failed on the battlefield.

Later on, his father died in Jinzhou without a corpse. The Tremor Bow that had accompanied his father on the battlefield was lost from then on, causing the clan to sigh.

Unexpectedly, this Tremor Bow fell into the hands of King Yue Fei of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

What was even more unexpected was that one day, this Tremor Bow that belonged to his father would target him and take his life in the midst of an army?!

Even the commander-in-chief who led ten thousand troops could not help but lose his composure for a moment.

Yin Huaixi had been waiting for this moment.

He pulled the longbow to the limit. The strength in his arms kept pouring into the bowstring, along with the anger and sorrow in his heart.

Meng Dup only saw the sharp arrow break out of the string and break through the air.

The arrow drew a cold light in the grayish-black sky, whistling and roaring in the air. His eyes suddenly widened, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

In his panic, he only had time to turn his body.

The sharp arrow struck him like lightning and pierced through his chest.

It was only an inch away from his heart.

Meng Duo was a brave general who had been through hundreds of battles. He knew very well that this arrow had already exceeded its range. Yin Huaixi had relied on the power of the Tremor Bow and the sharpness and accuracy of the arrow to barely aim at him and make him dodge.

If he had taken five more steps, he would have died on the spot.

Before he could rejoice that he had escaped a calamity, Meng Duo spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily from his horse.

Fortunately, Harmon had saved him and injured many people. Then, they escaped the pursuit of the You army.

After returning to the camp, the military doctor immediately stabilized his injuries. “Although this arrow didn’t hurt your vitals, it’s still very dangerous. There are “concave” troughs on the arrowhead, making the pain unbearable. It also increases the difficulty of pulling out the arrow.”

“Pulling the arrow will cause the wound to tear a second time. Being shot by an arrow and pulling it out is equivalent to being hit by a second arrow. The leader is injured an inch from his chest. If we forcefully pull out the arrow, his life will be in danger.”

“Moreover, when the arrowhead is quenched with black iron, not only will the injured bleed non-stop, but it will also increase the difficulty of healing their injuries. Ordinary arrow injuries show signs of healing in three to five days. Meanwhile, if such arrow injuries are treated appropriately, it will take at least ten days to half a month, or at most three to five months. Moreover, after the injuries recover, it’s easy to leave hidden injuries that won’t heal for the rest of their lives. I’m afraid the leader won’t be able to shoot Heavy Bow in the future.’

Meng Duo’s expression changed drastically.

The Heavy Bow was a treasured bow that was not inferior to the Tremor Bow. This bow was made of black iron and was extremely heavy. The bowstring was extremely heavy and powerful, so it was famous for being difficult to control.

Nieng Duo was born with great strength. He was the only person on the grassland who could control the Heavy Bow. With his great strength, he had always been successful on the battlefield and had never missed, making him famous.

If he couldn’t control the Heavy Bow, Meng Duo’s strength would be greatly reduced, and the Northern Barbarians would lose a fierce general.

The military doctor looked regretful. “That’s not the most dangerous thing. The arrowhead is made of aconite. It goes straight to the bone. If we don’t detoxify it early, I’m afraid the flesh will fester. The leader’s injuries are close to his five internal organs, and he might rot to death.”

Meng Duo gasped.

The military doctor looked troubled. “The three dangers are stacked. I’m afraid that before the arrow is pulled, you’ll already…”

He did not dare to continue, but his meaning was clear. Although Meng Duo had narrowly escaped death, it was still a narrow escape.

Nieng Duo smiled bitterly. “According to you, if you don’t pull out this arrow,

I’ll definitely die. If you forcefully pull it out, I still have a chance of survival. Why are you hesitating? Go down and prepare!’

The military doctor left.

Thinking of the soldiers buried in the narrow Yu Pass, Meng Duo felt great grief in his heart. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. For a moment, his expression was ashen, and he looked like he had lost a lot.

At this moment, Harmon lifted the curtain and entered. “We’ve just counted. We’ve lost more than 32,000 people and more than 10,000 have been injured in this battle. Our army has suffered heavy losses. Now, our morale is unstable and has plummeted. The old generals are still discussing this matter in the camp.”

Meng Duo’s aura withered again. “What do you plan to do with me?”

He had made a military order, which was why he was in charge of the army. If he lost the first battle, the army would definitely hold it against him.

Harmon shook his head. “There’s no conclusion yet. At the moment, the morale of the army is low, and it’s not suitable to deal with the main general.

We can’t keep the commander-in-chief, but there might be a chance to make up for our mistakes. Your method of making the enemy use their own spear to attack their own shield is a success. The You army has lost a general, so it’s not a crushing defeat. It’s just that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it’s unpredictable. However, it’s not like the Northern Barbarians can’t afford to lose the first battle.’

After the death of King Li of Zhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty, General Ming Wei guarded Fuxin, causing the Northern Barbarians to suffer a lot. There were even rumors in the army that it was easy to shake mountains, but difficult to shake Ming Wei..
