Chapter 44: Medical Benevolence
Now, Tisa Finnis is torn between a corner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoFor this attack, he also specially prepared a lot of large shields, but the light infantry he led accounted for too much of the team, and he couldn't even protect half of it. And too many soldiers lead to too dense formations, and almost every flying stone and every arrow of the mercenary can achieve a killing effect. The soldiers could barely maintain their morale under his high pressure, but the cavalry horses were wounded, barking and jumping, and running in all directions, which instead wounded some of the soldiers and disrupted the formation. By now, most of the cavalry had been withdrawn to the rear.
Tisaponis looked at the thinning formation and the moaning sound on his side, and then saw that the shield wall of the Greeks on the opposite side was not as tight as it had been at the beginning, and no matter how tightly protected the Greek heavy infantry was, it could not completely avoid the killing of bows and arrows at close range. Do you want to continue it any longer? He hesitated: he paid the price, but did not get obvious results, and retreated in such a gloomy manner, which not only affected morale, but also attracted the dissatisfaction and contempt of other generals. But if the arrow battle continues, the casualties will inevitably increase, and before the Greeks collapse, I am afraid that my own troops will have to be in chaos......
At this moment, the herald arrived: "Lord Governor, Lord Citils said that he suffered too many casualties, and proposed to attack immediately?" Or retreat? β
Tisa Finnis let out a long breath and replied without hesitation: "Retreat!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Greek soldiers, who were struggling to support themselves, could not believe their eyes when they saw the Persians retreat like a tide. After waiting a little longer, the Persians did not show up again, so they began to cheer......
In this battle, the Polish army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the mercenaries also suffered more than 900 casualties, but most of the wounded were hand and foot arrow wounds.
After this battle, the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, and after hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield, the troops walked a little north, and before noon, they began to camp and rest......
In the tent, Davers had an emergency meeting with the officers to discuss how to treat the wounded. Because of this war, Davers's troops suffered 19 casualties and 185 wounded, which was completely beyond the capacity of the medical battalion, and the whole battalion had to be mobilized to treat them.
Amintas disagreed with this and said: "There is no need to make such trouble, we have already realized that we will die in battle when we come out to fight as soldiers!" Isn't it just an arrow wound, just take a few strokes, we've all been here before. β
Davers looked around at the crowd and felt that Amintas was not the only one who had such thoughts, so he said earnestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are far away from our families, far from our homes, and we are out to fight, are we only united in battle!" In fact, we regard our comrades as relatives, and the barracks are our home, can we watch our comrades hurt and struggle, and remain indifferent! In that case, who would want to help us when we are hurting! Ladies and gentlemenβ" Davers said categorically, "Remember, the past is the past!" Now, as long as I am in the barracks where Davers is, we must establish a belief that we will never let go of an enemy, and we will never give up a comrade-in-arms, and we will live and die together! β
"Well said!!" Pherisius couldn't help but exclaim. The other team members also applauded enthusiastically.
Davers's words moved them, and the whole battalion sprang into action.
A large open space was created in the middle of the camp to serve as the location of the medical camp. Davers divides the injured into three categories: minor, medium, and severe. The soldiers who helped were divided into four groups: the hard-working ones were responsible for the sanitation of the medical battalion, cleaning up the blood and dirt at any time, and driving away flies, mosquitoes, and flying insects; The strong are responsible for carrying and supporting the wounded; skillfully assist doctors and nurses in pulling arrows, debridement, and bandaging; The other group, who had worked as carpenters in their hometowns, was responsible for cutting tree branches and making stretchers. The seriously wounded were sent directly to Helms, as only he could handle them. After minor to moderate injuries have been removed, debrided, and bandaged, most of the minor injuries can be returned to the company, while the other wounded remain in the medical camp for observation, and whether to suture and further treatment will be considered according to their condition.
Under the command of Davers, the entire treatment operation was carried out in an orderly manner and with great efficiency. By the afternoon, the wounded of the Davers battalion had been treated.
At this time, the words spoken by Davers in the Great Tent reached the ears of the soldiers under the impetus of Antonios and other well-meaning people. Davers first ascended to the throne under the name of "Divine Favorer", which was the instinctive act of the soldiers to turn to the gods when they were in a state of confusion; Later, Davers killed Mithradat and Altauzus, and his courage and achievements gradually won the recognition of his command ability among the soldiers; And this time, his touching words and practical actions finally conquered the hearts of the soldiers in the battalion. They nicknamed him "The Merciful", and even began to affectionately address the young leader as "Our Davers".
This large-scale rescue operation also alarmed other military camps, and first a single soldier came here to support the wounded and ask for help. Davers agreed. But soon, the news spread, more and more wounded people came, and the medical battalion was obviously understaffed, and trying to help them would crowd out their own battalion resources, and the soldiers in the Davers battalion were a little dissatisfied and began to quarrel with outsiders.
At this time, Cleano and Timason rushed to the news after receiving the news, and after quickly visiting the medical camp, facing Davers, the two leaders (including Timason, who had always been at odds with Davers) had a little more respect on their faces, because they also thought that such a different and efficient clinic was obviously not something that ordinary people could do, and they had scoffed at the rumors that Davers was a "god".
Davers did not hesitate to agree to treat their wounded soldiers, but because there were too many wounded soldiers (as two rearguard units, they suffered the greatest blow, with more than 500 wounded), they needed to send men to help, and at the same time needed more supplies, such as linen, crockpots, wood, tents, etc., and even agreed that they would send doctors to study and help. Davers was so generous, of course, that he had selfish intentions, and he confidently believed that the medical knowledge he had learned in his previous life was enough to entice the doctors to stay and expand his medical camp.
Cleano and Timasong left gratefully. After that, the rest of the chiefs also arrived, and Davers made the same promise and the same request to them.
On the way back, while Chrythops' lieutenant praised Davers for his ability and generosity, Chrythopus was silently thinking about something.
This made the adjutant strange. "I admit that I was biased against him before, and Davers is a good talent!" Especially the ...... he founded Medical...... The medical battalion was of great help in the battle, and Sparta needed this in order to cope with the coming war. β
"War? What war?! The adjutant asked, surprised.
"The Persian War Against Sparta." Chrysopus looked solemn: "Little Cyrus, who was friendly with us, is dead, we have been drawn into a rebellion against the new king of Persia, and the rulers of Asia Minor have now been replaced by Tisaphonis, who has a conflict with Sparta, you must know that there are disagreements with Asia Minor in the agreement we signed with Persia, and the new king of Persia is likely to be troubled by this...... All signs are against us. β
After listening to this, the adjutant fell silent. The war between Sparta and Athens lasted for more than twenty years, and in the end Sparta won, but the losses were no less huge. Now he will face Persia, which is even more powerful than Athens, and even though he is a fierce and fearless Spartan, he is still feeling the pressure.
Kerrythops glanced at him and changed the subject: "Do you think Davers will join us?" β
"Absolutely! We are Sparta, the overlords of Greece! The adjutant said proudly.
"I hope so." Chrysopus nodded.
