Chapter 992: First Hearing of Li Zhuang's Heart (Fourth Update)
The soldier holds a pot and explains, and the outside is a canvas cover.
When I took it out, it was an iron kettle, and when I pumped it, a kettle appeared, and the rest was a kettle with no spout part.
There is a folded metal strip on the shell, which is lifted up, and there is also a lid underneath this shell.
Holding the iron bar, you can flatten the shell of the pot.
The iron bar was opened and folded, stuck on the other side, and hung on something.
Then this lid can also cover the mouth on the top of the shell, which can be used to cook rice and stew.
The people and the captives were dumbfounded, who made it? It's ingenious.
They'll use it, use that shell to fill the soup, everyone takes turns drinking, and that lid can also hold a little soup.
"Now my Datang army has used such a good thing?"
A common man drank a mouthful of soup, felt warm all over his body, and asked.
"There are elite troops at the border gates, but there are no others, and the Li family Zhuangzi can't do so much." Tang Bing next to him said with the soup.
"Will we win this battle?" The people asked again.
"Yes, no one from the Tang Dynasty will ask others to plunder it in the future." The soldier whispered.
He knew what was going on with the people of the Tang Dynasty around him, the Tubo sneak attack, and the Tang army could not support it.
Now the number of garrisons at the border has increased, and the people are behind.
The soldiers also had food and alcohol, gauze and other things, and everyone learned how to deal with their wounds.
Usually after a battle, many people die not on the battlefield, but after the war the wound is infected, yes, it is called infection.
If the bleeding does not stop, it cannot be blocked with its hands, and it cannot be covered with mud, and when it flows, it will be cold.
Now the bleeding is sewn, and the large blood vessels can be sewn, and then wrapped, and they can grow slowly.
If there is less blood flow, eat something good, as long as it is faster than the blood flowing, it will eventually grow.
As for making a big opening, you can also sew it up, and then bandage it, and if there is pus and blood, clean it up and continue to wrap it.
As long as there is alcohol, there is no fear of infection and death.
Both sides were 10,000 men, and after a battle, each of them lost 1,000 dead and 4,000 wounded.
How can his own Datang survive 3,500 people, and the enemy may live 500.
After a few battles, the enemy will be defeated.
The soldier thought so, and casually shared his thoughts with the people.
The people love to listen to this, listen to their own Tang Dynasty, and wait for someone to go back and change their family back.
"Where does the alcohol come from?" The other man didn't know what alcohol was, and he thought it was about the same as wine, and he became a refiner.
"Li Zhuangzi gives, and cotton, what is the cotton we use called absorbent cotton." The soldier replied.
"It's the Li family Zhuangzi again." The people who had just eaten a piece of barley rice they had brought with them discovered the keyword.
So the soldiers told the people the story of the Li family Zhuangzi.
When it was almost midnight, another group of people returned, and they brought back the heavy generals of Tibet, alive.
A living general is worth more than a dead one, and one person can exchange it for many Tang people.
The rest of the Tibetan soldiers, combined, were 330 alive, and the rest were all dead.
The Tang soldiers first treated their own wounds, and then helped the Tubo soldiers deal with them.
These three hundred and thirty people are estimated to be able to exchange for at least a thousand people of the Tang Dynasty, depending on how much the other party values them.
Zhang Xiaosong had already finished eating and resting, and when the captives came back, he asked about the number, and he had a smile on his face.
"This time I can bring back all the people of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo is empty, as long as Guo Zhiyun is not an idiot, he will know how to fight."
Zhang Xiaosong did not count three hundred and thirty prisoners, he estimated the overall situation.
He did not attack the large Tibetan army in Tibet that confronted Ashina Xian and Qarluq.
He took superior forces to intercept the baggage of Tibet, and it was impossible for Tibet to send 10,000 elite soldiers to escort grain and grass.
Even if you send 10,000, you can win at any cost.
There are also explosives bags and grenades, which are really easy to use with hot air balloons and binoculars.
Zhang Xiaosong likes new things, and he finds that the biggest role of the telescope is to make it impossible for the enemy to find him.
It is the most customary way to deal with enemy scouts, and the number of scouts is small, so you can give a package every time.
The enemy can judge the location and number of his side only by the marks on the ground.
The hot air balloon is unreasonably strong, flying in the sky, and it can detect the enemy team from a distance, and the dense dots are dozens of miles away.
You can arrange it however you want, which is equivalent to a half-day trip.
Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaosong went to sleep again, and waited tomorrow to see if there was still a heavy team in Tubo, so he took the initiative to greet him.
The people of the Tang Dynasty also slept after eating, and they covered the clothes of the Tubo soldiers and the dead soldiers.
The Tibetan slaves were given the skins of dead horses, which were only plastered with grass and wood plaster, and the smell was very strong, but they didn't care, and two or three people built one.
Tonight is happy for the people of the Tang Dynasty and the slaves of Tubo, otherwise they would have to sleep at night, walking all the way, squeezing each other to sleep.
When the sun rose in the morning, Tang Bing began to cook, still stewed horse meat, boiled hot water by the way, and used Chinese patent medicine to reduce inflammation and cool down.
After the wounded person is injured, the white blood cells increase, and there is a lot of body fluid at the injured site, which forms pus and blood.
The fact that the injured have a fever is not necessarily an infection, but that they are tired and have a decline in physical function after the injury.
At this time, the horse meat is boiled into a thick soup and they drink it to supplement the protein.
There were wild bird eggs, and boiling water was also washed for them to drink.
Whether to eat eggs for fever or not needs to be differentiated, and eating supplemental protein is conducive to the recovery of the body, and at the same time will increase calories.
Therefore, when eating eggs, you should consider physical cooling, and at the same time do not eat boiled ones, so as not to be difficult to digest.
"Leave 500 men by the river to take care of the wounded and prisoners, and the others follow me to find the follow-up baggage team of Tibet."
Zhang Xiaosong had breakfast, arranged the manpower, and a hot air balloon was raised here, and he led the team to set off.
Tang Bing, who was seriously injured or had a fever, began to sleep, sitting, leaning on something, so as to avoid the outflow of food in the esophagus.
They have to wait for digestion for a while and then drink more plain water to cool down, increase the speed of metabolism, and get better quickly.
It was cold at night, and the temperature gradually rose during the day, so the people of Datang took hand towels to the river to wash, and then applied their faces and wiped their bodies to cool down with injuries and fevers on both sides.
The slaves of Tibet were only responsible, looking for mushrooms and mowing grass in the distance.
They were not allowed to come into contact with the Tibetan captives, lest the Tibetan captives threaten the safety of their families and let them loosen their bonds.
"You let me go now, let me run away, and let your family go when I go back."
The Tibetan captives could not threaten their slaves, so they threatened the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The people of Datang were wiping his face, and they were stunned when they heard his words, and then unfolded their handkerchiefs, and then rolled them into strips, wrapping them around each other's necks, crossing, and straining their hands to both sides.
"Woo woo~~" The Tubo captive's face turned red, his mouth opened and his throat sounded, his eyes widened, his body writhed, and his eyes showed a pleading look.
"Help, he's going to strangle him." The Tibetan prisoner next to him shouted to Tang Bing.
Tang Bing glanced at it and turned his head.
The Tibetan captives who were strangled saw their eyes roll to the line, and the people let go and looked at it with a smile.
The captive gasped for air, a look of horror in his eyes.
"You say it again? It must be said, hurry up, don't say I'll strangle you. "The people are going to be extorted again.
