Chapter 58: The Battle of Niangzi Pass VIII

Princess Pingyang put on her battle armor and hurried up to the castle tower. As far as the eye can see, the Turks rushed towards Niangzi Pass with improvised wooden shields. Under the skillful command of the Commander of the Banner, the Eight Ox Crossbow troops continued to strafe downward. And this time the Turks learned wisely, the formation was very scattered, it was difficult for a crossbow arrow to hit many people, and there would be a lot of empty arrows.

After the Turks had paid thousands of lives, they successfully rushed to the pass, and the hooks, ladders and ladders began to unfold, and the rams began to attack the city gates. Oil, broth (everyone knows what is cooked), bows and arrows, and stones are thrown down desperately.

This time the Turks were really desperate, from about nine o'clock in the morning meeting, until sunset. More than 50 crossbows have been scrapped, and the city gates have been hammered many times. In the end, Princess Pingyang ordered to completely block the city gate with a boulder, which was one less breakthrough. Countless Turkic corpses under the city wall were several meters high! The taste of the golden soup smoked so much that literature and art almost fainted.

More than 20,000 Turks have fallen, but the momentum of the onslaught is still fierce. Kang Sumi stood fifty steps away from the city and commanded the cannon fodder to launch wave after wave of charges, completely ignoring his own lives. Wenyi wanted to use *** to give him a headshot several times, but he endured it for the sake of the overall situation. Now it is to give the Turks an illusion: as long as they have the courage to charge, they can take the Niangzi Pass! And not to directly fight and fear them. If these more than 200,000 Turks are allowed to return to the steppe safely, then it will not be a few years before they will make a comeback!

Therefore, literature and art can only watch the two sides fall into anxious hand-to-hand combat, and there is nothing they can do. **'s troops are also rapidly depleting, and at the end of the day, 3,000 have been killed and 4,000 disabled. Hua Mulan, Dou Xianniang and other generals were stained red with blood, and they were resting against the pillar with their weapons.

At about six o'clock, the sound of the Turkic trumpets suddenly changed, and the momentum of the Turkic attack also stalled. Then the tide receded. ** I was also relieved, and when I was about to cheer for victory, I saw another group of Turkic soldiers rushing up, led by an old acquaintance Tuli!

** As soon as the morale was relaxed, it was the time when the morale was at its weakest, and Princess Binh Duong hurriedly ordered a rotation. A new round of hand-to-hand combat is about to begin!

Princess Pingyang, Hua Mulan and others persisted until eight o'clock in the evening, and then replaced Chai Shao, Ma Sanbao and others, who had rested for a day. Literature and art also followed down the city tower. Wenyi couldn't calm down after returning to the guest room. After walking around the house several times, he ran to Princess Pingyang and asked for transfer to treat the wounded.

Princess Pingyang was surprised: "Literature and art, you are mainly responsible for intelligence affairs now, and the task is also very heavy, why do you want to treat diseases and save people?" ”

Wen Yi said bitterly: "Marshal, the intelligence aspect has been on the right track, Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu are competent, but our army has too many wounded, but there are only dozens of medical officers, and they can't cope with so many sick numbers at all." Besides, now is the time to fight for hard power, Wang Tianhu and I have limited what they can do, it is better for us to temporarily act as medical officers and save as many wounded as possible, they are all good men of our Datang, I really can't watch them die in pain because they can't be treated! ”

Princess Pingyang thought for a while and said, "I can agree to let you join the medical officer without affecting the intelligence affairs, but it will definitely not affect Wang Tianhu's combat effectiveness, their role at the critical moment is crucial!" ”

Wen Yixi said: "Please rest assured, I will arrange it!" ”

That night, Wenyi led the 200 members of the special combat team to take off their uniforms and become war doctors. Most of the wounded officers and men were wounded by swords, and the special combat team received scientific and systematic medical rescue training in literature and art. Wang Tianhu was left with 100 people as an emergency team, and 200 members at the level of modern surgical nurses were enough to deal with the current situation of the wounded. There are all kinds of epoch-making medical items such as professional scalpels, needle holders, sheep intestines, medical iodine wine, hemp boiling powder, etc. I saw that those who claimed to be professionals were dumbfounded.

Wenyi calculated the consumption rate of the medicine, borrowed the Hope Holy Clothes from Dou Xianniang and Hua Mulan, and sent five special combat team members to quickly return to the "Hope" order base to immediately expedite the production of medical drugs, and then bring back as many medicines as possible. Penicillin is also prominently listed. Ancient medicinal literature and art like Ma Boiling Powder were handed over to those few responsible old men and let them make their own products.

The number of wounded is increasing, literature and art are not idle, the high-intensity surgery has been busy all night, and the special combat team members have begun to take turns to rest. When the sky turned white, literature and art, which was still in the period of growth and development, finally couldn't bear it. Ignoring the blood on his body, he leaned against a broken wall and fell asleep.

As soon as Princess Pingyang got up, she began to inquire about the war. Knowing that the battle at night was as fierce as during the day, his eyebrows furrowed tightly and he asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" Chai Shao smiled weakly and said, "At present, 8,000 are killed and about 7,000 are injured." But the good news is that Wenyi suddenly brought two hundred langzhong yesterday, and he is extremely good at treating external injuries. According to Mr. Zhang of the Medical Department, the methods they used were unheard of, but they were extremely efficient, and almost anyone who could still breathe could be saved. The mortality rate of the wounded has been greatly reduced. This is also the best news for our army so far. ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up and said: "When the news came out, it was said that our army had invited five hundred divine doctors, and as long as there was still a breath, he could be rescued!" Let everyone not be afraid of getting hurt. If the order goes down again, the bereavement of all the dead will be doubled! Those who were injured but not dead will be rewarded with 100 acres of fertile land! ”

After the herald left, Princess Pingyang asked again, "What about the casualties on the Turkic side?" ”

Chai Shao smiled happily this time and said: "According to the latest news reported by Wen 28, the Turks have lost more than 50,000 people and the wounded cannot be counted, and the current Turkic troops can not exceed 160,000. This time the Turks suffered heavy losses! ”

Princess Pingyang asked again, "How many arrows and oil do we have left?" ”

Chai Shao thought for a while and said, "Half of the Eight Bull crossbow arrows have been consumed, and most of the crossbow machines have been scrapped. There was already a shortage of fire oil, and now there is still half of it left, so I need to ask my father to send some more quickly. If the Turks attack again at such a cost, we will hold out for ten days at most! ”

Princess Pingyang said calmly: "It's okay, I just let them attack, I want to destroy them under the Niangzi Pass!" Let them not dare to take another step out of the grassland in the next twenty years! ”

Although Chai Shao knew about Princess Pingyang's military deployment, he knew nothing about the secret operations in literature and art. Princess Pingyang has a clear distinction between public and private, and literature and art are extremely confidential and will not be easily revealed to anyone.

Chai Shao looked left and right, and it was all his cronies and guards before he came to Princess Pingyang's ear and whispered, "Xiuning, what is the origin of that literature and art?" Although he is dedicated to us, I can't see through this person at all, and I feel a little apprehensive in my heart. ”

Princess Pingyang thought for a while and said: "Husband, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but literature and art have a lot to do with it, he is not our person, and he is also acting on orders to help us." I have promised the man that he will not tell anyone about literature and art. Although the husband is at ease with literature and art, it is. Literature and art will only listen to my orders here, so don't delve into it. ”

Although Chai Shao did not get a satisfactory answer, he was also a dignified husband, and since his daughter-in-law trusted literature and art so much, he didn't ask more. After the two handed over the command, Chai Shao went down to the city tower to seize the time to rest.

On the Turkic side, Jieli's heart hurts. The 250,000 troops he brought with him were only 170,000 in a blink of an eye. It's only been a day! Some tribes could not bear the losses and began to suggest to him to withdraw their troops, but the patriarchs who had already suffered heavy losses were not happy and insisted on continuing the assault. At this time, there was a lot of noise in front of him.

In the end, after an hour of long debate, Jieli made the decision to take the Niangzi Pass at all costs. All the tribes were divided into three formations of 50,000 men each, and each team attacked for six hours, regardless of casualties!

The tragic offensive and defensive battle lasted for two days and two nights! The soldiers of Niangziguan have long been exhausted. The Turks were also exhausted. Although the scorching fighting was not as tragic as it had begun, casualties on both sides remained high.

On 17 May, the sky was gray and a drizzle slowly fell, setting off the battlefield more and more cold and cruel. Literature and art have been busy with the treatment for the past two days, and now the name of the doctor has been circulated in **, but if there is still a breath, even if it is a person with a rotten stomach, the doctor can cure him! Disemboweling and taking an arrow, the limbs with only a little flesh and skin can be brought back again! Capture a few more Turkic captives to take blood and continue their lives. Now the front line has begun to pay attention to taking more prisoners. I thought that when I was about to die, I would ask Doctor Wen to take a shot to take blood and continue my life! Even the two hundred apprentices he brought with him were skilled. Now wherever literature and art go, there are people who salute him from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as he was about to perform suturing surgery on a soldier whose right hand was slashed to the bone, Wen Erba hurriedly ran in and said, "Young master, the marshal has something to summon. ”

The literary and artistic subordinates still threaded the needle and threaded the needle without hurry, and said: "Is the matter urgent? ”

Wen Erba thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be too urgent." ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and talk to Dashuai, I'll go over after this operation." ”

Wen Erba left with his hand. Wenyi said to the young soldier gently: "Dog, you are lucky that the bones are not broken, otherwise even if I pick it up for you, you will not be able to hold a knife in this hand anymore." After I'll sew it up for you in a while, you go to the boiling point to get an injection of penicillin, remember, it's penicillin, don't make a mistake. ”

Goudan said gratefully: "Thank you Doctor Wen, is my injury really okay?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said: "It's a trivial matter, as long as it doesn't become inflamed, it can be raised for a few months, but it will leave a scar." However, when recuperating from injuries, it is not possible to get wet or exercise vigorously. Remember! ”

The dog nodded in agreement.

After Wenyi bandaged him, he washed his hands in the basin next to him and rushed to the city, and Princess Pingyang is now sticking to the city wall to personally supervise the battle.
