At the city gate, a medical officer and a city guardsman carried a blood-soaked injured soldier on a stretcher. Suddenly, the medical officer stepped on a corpse on the ground, staggered, and the stretcher tilted.
"Ah—" The medical officer turned pale with fright.
This was a patient with a severe fracture. He couldn't afford another fall, or he would lose his life!
A strong hand firmly supported the stretcher!
The guard lifted his eyes and respectfully said, "General Ji!"
Ji Pingchuan, the commander of the northern city defense.
"Th-thank you, General Ji." The medical officer from Shengdu, hearing the guard address him as such, also followed suit in calling him General Ji.
General Ji nodded slightly, "Is everything alright?"
"It's all fine now." The medical officer adjusted the stretcher again and, together with the soldier, entered the northern city gate.
Shortly after, another group of men and horses arrived on the scene.
