Chapter 187: Soldiers are tired and proud

"General." Yang Hong said: "The last general thinks that something is wrong. ”

Cheng Guogong looked at Yang Hong and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Hong said: "The army is coming, and now it is only a day of rest, and it is necessary to continue to go north, and the last general feels that the soldiers below may not be able to withstand it." ”

"The Watt Thorn will not be able to escape for a while, and the last general will not give up for the first time. Therefore, the general might as well rest in Datong for two days, and then attack before it is too late. ”

Yang Hong's words were a bit tactful.

When cavalry engages, the horsepower of the war horse and the physical strength of the cavalry are quite important.

Since leaving Beijing, the cavalry brigade has been on the road, although the road is not too far, but the physical strength has been consumed a lot.

After all, the cavalry traveled long distances in this era, and the suffering was not something that later generations could imagine.

It can't be repaired in a day.

Not to mention, in terms of horsepower, in fact, the Ming cavalry is not as good as the tile spur.

for the army of the Tile Thorns had horses.

Yes, although the Watt Thorn dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops this time, the horses used were definitely at the level of millions. At the beginning, when Hulan suddenly lost Wen's victory, Emperor Taizong captured hundreds of thousands of horses, and the tile thorn iron cavalry used by Mahamu at that time was only 30,000.

Of course, a considerable part of the other horses were auxiliaries, and a large part were prepared horses for the Tile Spur cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry was able to run thousands of miles, if not thousands of miles, on the basis of the fact that they had a large number of horses. But Daming did not have enough horses.

Even the cavalry, which is known as an elite, rarely has horses.

Therefore, after traveling hundreds of miles, after consuming a lot of horsepower, they faced off against the new force of the Tile Spurs.

There are so many dangers and unpredictable places in this.

Yang Hong, as a general who has always been fighting with the tile spur, he knows the tile spur very well, and the Datong elite cavalry under his command may not be worse than the Beijing cavalry, and even Yang Hong thinks it is a little better.

Although the border is generally peaceful. There are no big wars, but small wars are often there. Therefore, the cavalry of the border army has seen blood, killed people, and fought battles.

But what is it like in the camp?

It's not that there have been no battles in the Beijing camp, and there have been soldiers who have killed people, but overall, there are too few.

Because it has been nearly 30 years since Emperor Taizong's last Northern Expedition, and it has been 15 years since Emperor Xuanzong's last expedition.

The years are the most ruthless, and the old ministers of Emperor Taizong were either generals, or they had already let their children and grandchildren take over the military positions. More of them are buried in the loess.

The vast majority of the cavalry of the Beijing battalion, in terms of actual combat experience, is actually not as good as the cavalry of the border army.

When Yang Hong weighed the victory or defeat of the two, he felt that it was a little dangerous.

Of course, there is nothing that is not dangerous to fight, no

Because I felt that it was dangerous, I gave up going out of the plug, but I had to be cautious.

However, Cheng Guogong didn't think so, and even the generals below didn't think so.

Cheng Guogong laughed and said: "General Yang's kindness, I understand it, but the tile thorn has already become a frightened bird, and now we stay for a while, maybe we will chase him to the ends of the earth." General Yang didn't know how hard the pursuit battle on the grassland was. ”

When Cheng Guogong said this, he remembered that he had pursued the Uliangha tribe at the beginning, and pursued for hundreds of miles in a row, but was finally run away by Uliangha.

Cheng Guogong knew that when dealing with the nomadic tribes outside the Saiwai, the gap in the number of Ming horses led to the poor endurance of the Ming cavalry.

At least, it is not possible to catch up with cavalry with several horses swapped.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, there was a huge momentum but not much gain, which caused a lot of criticism.

Therefore, the referendum plan does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Cheng Guogong laughed so loudly, and the generals below naturally laughed with him, but there were two smiles that were not very good, these two people were Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin.

Cheng Guogong dispersed the military discussion and let the following prepare.

The two brothers arranged their men and horses and came to the wounded barracks together.

In the entire wounded barracks, there were many wounded, but there were not many from the Beijing camp, and the Gayin Jing camp chased them all the way, but in fact, they did not really collide with the main force of the tile spurs.

Dealing with some guerrillas is even more handy.

There are also one or two thousand decapitations in the army.

But the real main force of the thorn was encountered by the Datong army.

The two of them came to see Wu Jin for one purpose.

At this moment, Wu Jin doesn't have to live in a room with the general wounded, but now there is a single room, and the lighting is quite good. After all, Wu Jin's resume and military exploits are not to mention, his father and uncle are all in prominent positions, and the people below dare not snub this Wu Gongzi.

When Wu Jin saw his father and uncle coming, he immediately got up and said, "Dad, second uncle." ”

At this moment, Wu Jin was wrapped in layers of gauze all over his body, looking like a mummy, and he had multiple knife wounds all over his body, but fortunately, his armor was powerful.

Although the iron armor on the outside has been shattered and can no longer be used, the golden silk armor inside, that is, the chain mail, still has a good resistance ability, making Wu Jin's wounds relatively shallow.

Although he lost a lot of blood, he did not bleed heavily.

After being in a coma for two days, he could be considered to have survived, and at this moment he only felt that his body was heavier than before. It's harder to move than to kill a person in battle.

"Let's be safe." Wu Kezhong said. He pressed his son back to the hospital bed, looked at his son's body covered in gauze, and said with some curiosity: "This is strange, I have never seen such a situation after fighting for half my life?" ”

Ordinary wounded barracks, sewage flowing, stinking, screaming again and again, many people do not

It's just waiting for death, Wu Kezhong has seen a lot of such situations, but now he has come all the way, but it is unexpected.

At least clean and tidy, every room is cleaned very clean, I don't know what mosquito repellent herbs are burned, even flies and mosquitoes are not too many.

Wu Jin said: "This is the regulation of the Tai Hospital Building Order, this Building Decree is the Jiangnan Divine Doctor, and he is willing to serve as the Tai Hospital Order for His Majesty's courtesy, and establish a branch hospital in Xuanfu and Datong." ”

The magistrate roughly guessed it.

Yes, this set of reforms was naturally brought out by Zhu Qizhen, and Lou Yuan was responsible for implementing it.

After the plague in Ningbo, Zhu Qi learned from the pain and felt that the public health cause of the Ming Dynasty must be strengthened. In the second year, there were still relapses in a few counties in Zhejiang.

Therefore, in Zhu Qizhen's view, this plague is not cured at all, but just survived. It is not certain when or where another batch will recur.

After so many times, Zhu Qizhen can't do anything else.

It's just that he strengthened the Tai Hospital, but after the relationship with the tile spur was completely broken last year, Zhu Qizhen strengthened to Xuanfu, and established the Datong branch of the Tai Hospital and the Xuanfu branch of the Tai Hospital.

These two branches are directly under the jurisdiction of Beijing Tai Hospital.

In this battle, he played a big role, especially Zhu Qizhen discussed with Lou Yuan, and brought together famous doctors to come up with a set of traumatic treatment methods. The effect is even more remarkable. The mortality rate of the wounded has been greatly reduced.

If there is no such situation, Wu Jin may not be able to pick up a small life.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is already very similar to the treatment of trauma in later generations. But in reality, it's just a façade. However, just a clean and hygienic environment can allow many wounded people to survive tenaciously.

Wu Kezhong said: "After returning to Beijing, I will visit this old lady Lou. However, your second uncle and I have seen you twice this year, but we want to say two things? ”

"First of all, the army will be dispatched tomorrow. If you want to pursue, you will go first. ”

When Wu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but want to sit up, but he moaned with a "hiss" from the wound. Wu Kezhong hurriedly held him down and said, "Have a good rest or something?" ”

Wu Jin sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't catch up with such a big battle." ”

Wu Kezhong said: "You take good care of your injuries, and the days will be long in the future, so you don't have to worry about not fighting." Why rush? ”

Wu Jin said: "Don't you hurry? In the north, only the tile spur is considered a strong enemy, and they have all been defeated by my father and second uncle, I will be able to take charge of an army in the future, who am I going to fight? ”

"I heard that Your Majesty has the intention of opening up the South China Sea, but I am a cavalry general, so I can't get on the boat, right?"

"I really regret it, I was too badly injured in the last battle."

What Wu Jin said was true, and it was also the psychological words of most low-level soldiers. Many of them didn't think they would lose.
