Kapitel 82: 82. Subtle Sense of the Heart

After half a day of fierce fighting, both sides ceased fire simultaneously, as they were running low on ammunition.

The combatants shared the same roots, yet the weapons of slaughter were imported from abroad, particularly short on cannonballs.

Li Shoucheng returned to the military camp in disgrace, only to find that he was the sole survivor; his entire army had perished, which infuriated him to the point that he cursed loudly, "Damned loyalists! I swear I'll skin you alive!"

Removing his steel armor, he discovered a hole the size of a bowl on his back, about 10 centimeters in diameter, with bone faintly visible!

He was terrified, "Thank God the steel armor absorbed some of the impact, or I would have been a goner!"

He called over an attendant to treat the wound, and then, by flexing his tendons and twisting, he managed to close the wound to a small seam.
