Chapter 215: Bleeding Again!
The timely arrival of his tribesmen undoubtedly brought Burigude a sense of relief.
If that chase battle had continued, he didn’t know how it would have turned out.
After the two sides converged, a heavily bearded grasslander rode up.
“Burigude, what now? We have many wounded from this attack. The enemy’s strength is greater than we anticipated.”
“Let’s go back and discuss.”
Looking at his tribesmen, most of whom were wounded, Burigude spoke in a heavy tone.
He had originally thought he only needed to face Bai Ze, but then an unexpectedly troublesome character appeared from somewhere, completely disrupting his rescue plan.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Ze, after retreating, quickly rendezvoused with the cavalry unit that came to meet them.
He then immediately returned to the tribe.
Riding hard all the way back to the tribe, Bai Ze quickly dismounted and hurried towards the medical tent.
Luo Yong, who was lying there, saw Bai Ze enter and immediately asked.
“Where are they?”
“They ran.”
“They actually got away?!”
Hearing this, Luo Yong’s emotions flared, and the movement pulled at his wound, making him gasp with pain.
“Hiss!! Old Zhang, gently, gently!”
Looking at Luo Yong, who was gasping from the pain, the doctor called Old Zhang rolled his eyes in exasperation.
“Even if I’m gentle, you can’t get so agitated, Commander Luo. Your wound is bleeding again…”
By the end, the doctor’s tone was clearly weary.
He quickly applied more hemostatic herbs to the wound.
While applying it, he repeatedly emphasized.
“This time, I beg you, please lie still, okay? There are many more people waiting after you!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong immediately became obedient.
After all, he couldn’t hold up so many brothers from getting treated just because of himself.
Glancing at Luo Yong, who had finally settled down, Bai Ze, standing beside him, also felt speechless.
He then casually asked.
“Doctor, how is his injury?”
“Besides the arrow wound in his left abdomen, the rest are minor injuries. After applying medicine, they should heal in a few days.”
Old Zhang replied casually while treating Luo Yong’s wound.
“That arrow wound is very serious?”
While asking, Bai Ze unconsciously glanced at Luo Yong’s left abdomen.
The arrow had long been removed, and herbs had already been applied to the wound.
He truly didn’t know the exact severity of the injury.
“It’s rather subtle.”
“To say it’s serious, it didn’t hit any internal organs.”
“But to say it’s not serious, there was significant bleeding.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze slightly furrowed his brow.
“How long will the wound take to heal?”
“For just healing, ten days to half a month should be enough. But he lost a lot of blood when the arrow was removed, so he’ll likely be weak for quite a while. It would be best to send him back to Mirror Tribe for recuperation.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong, who had just been obedient for a short while, immediately couldn’t stay calm.
“Go back to Mirror Tribe?”
“I’m not going back…”
In this situation, before he could wipe out that Burigude, how could he possibly have the face to see Luo Ji again?
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Old Zhang, who had patiently been treating his wound, erupted.
He forcefully pressed Luo Yong back onto the sickbed.
His strength was surprisingly great, and his tone was clearly tinged with anger.
“Hey, kid, I should have said this many times, right?”
“Don’t you know your wound is bleeding again?”
He no longer called him ‘Commander Luo,’ and even dropped the honorific ‘you’.
Looking at the vein constantly throbbing on Old Zhang’s forehead, Luo Yong, completely bewildered for a moment, actually forgot to resist.
He could only foolishly nod.
Meanwhile, Bai Ze quietly moved two steps to the side, then sighed internally.
“People with good tempers are truly scary when they get angry…”
After understanding the situation, Bai Ze decisively turned and left the medical department.
He had no intention of reporting to anyone.
The reason he asked that question was simply to confirm whether Luo Yong could participate in future battles.
As for reports and such, Sun Li, the sub-city lord responsible for managing the Wild Horse Tribe, would write them.
It basically had nothing to do with him.
And indeed, that was the case.
After that day, an emergency report marked as yellow level was swiftly delivered to Luo Ji.
After reading Sun Li’s report, Luo Ji’s brow slightly furrowed.
“Bow cavalry, huh…”
This troop type appeared even earlier than he expected.
However, upon seeing that they were grasslanders, he felt a bit more relieved.
It seemed that grasslanders in any world possessed exceptionally excellent mounted archery skills.
This could only be said to be a talent shaped by the entire environment, just like people born in mountainous areas instinctively know how to quickly move on steep and difficult mountain paths.
And furthermore, regarding Luo Yong’s injury, Sun Li reported it without reservation.
Many people thought Luo Ji might recall Luo Yong to Mirror Tribe for recuperation, but Luo Ji himself actually had no such intention…
As his first fierce general, he admitted that he sometimes showed a bit of favoritism towards Luo Yong, but it was limited.
He sent Luo Yong to the Wild Horse Tribe precisely to train him, to let him endure hardships.
In this era, who among those charging into battle doesn’t get injured?
Luo Yong was as robust as an ox.
It wasn’t a severe injury that endangered internal organs.
To be recalled to Mirror Tribe for recuperation just for taking an arrow and losing too much blood?
That would be too delicate.
He believed Luo Yong himself wouldn’t want to go back to Mirror Tribe like that.
Thus, regarding this matter, Luo Ji simply wrote in his reply order that Luo Yong should properly recover from his injuries in the Wild Horse Tribe.
The specific duration of recuperation was to follow the doctor’s advice.
At the same time, he also ordered Bai Ze to temporarily replace Luo Yong in guarding the Wild Horse Tribe, responsible for its security.
As for that group of grasslanders and Burigude, who injured Luo Yong, he surprisingly developed some interest.
Training the bow cavalry troop type himself was too time-consuming.
Conquering a few grasslander tribes and then recruiting existing bow cavalry from those tribes seemed like a shortcut…
However, most of his current troops, apart from the garrison forces in various sub-cities, had been led out by the brothers Guo Jia and Guo Zhen to conquer and expand civilization territory and population.
It wasn’t easy to dispatch troops to encircle and suppress Burigude on the grasslands in a short period.
As for garrison forces, it was a major taboo to casually transfer them when times seemed peaceful.
Some unlucky things happen to be that coincidental, you might just move the troops, and the enemy attacks right after.
Luo Ji, who always emphasized ‘stability,’ would clearly not touch his garrison forces.
Thus, Luo Ji, with a flourish of his pen, indeed issued another conscription order to expand his forces again.
More people, more freedom to do as one pleases!
