Chapter 1268: Self-blame
Seeing this, Han Gang didn't have time to greet and thank the few people who led the way, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rescue him, and at the same time checked the injuries. The soldiers brought water to feed the fainted Great Zhou cavalry, and after working for a while, several people who fainted also woke up. Injuries are one thing, bleeding too much and dehydration is also another, so feeding water is the most direct and effective method.
While they were busy, more than 100 cavalry had already ridden their horses back, Han Gang deliberately observed whether they were injured, but found that none of them were injured, and all of them were running and jumping violently. I was shocked in my heart. After a few brief questions from the young man, he ordered all the exhausted Great Zhou cavalry to be treated. Because of Han Gang's remaining nearly 400 men, almost all of them were injured. Many of them were actually seriously injured, but they had to follow the crowd to move around.
The knights seemed to be carrying a treasure chest with a pocket that contained healing medicine. They took out the medicine, skillfully treated and bandaged the wounded officers and soldiers, and took out water bottles for them to drink. The busy work does not stop for a moment.
Han Gang was extremely grateful in his heart, and dragged his injuries all over his body to work. In his busy schedule, Han Gang didn't forget to ask Ma Changqing in a low voice what he saw.
Ma Changqing told Han Gang in a low voice: "They all have firearms on their bodies, and the roar they heard just now is the sound of firearms being fired. When they were inspecting at the edge of the woodland, more than 100 of them turned around and stood on the official road with firearms in their hands. The Liao cavalry suffered heavy casualties, at least as many as a thousand casualties. It's stupid to look at the lowly position. In just a distance of more than 20 steps, the cavalry of the Liao army failed to break through. It's incredible. ”
Han Gang was stunned for a long time and smacked his tongue. At the same time, he was finally able to determine whose soldiers and horses this group was. In the Great Zhou, on the night when Lin Jue and others rebelled out of the capital, the news of the firearms shooting thousands of forbidden soldiers on the long street had actually spread throughout the army. Although Yang Shumi's prohibition is to spread at this time, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
Although Han Gang is in the border town, he has also heard such news. But Han Gang didn't believe it, he felt it was an exaggeration. How can there be such a powerful firearm? So a few people can stop the charge of thousands of cavalry? It's impossible. It is not that there are no firearms in the army, but they are chicken-like things, which have long proven to be useless. So Han Gang scoffed at this kind of rumor. But now that he heard Ma Changqing say this, he had to believe it. The only person who has firearms is Lin Jue, and it is also Lin Jue who is warning him, so who else can this group of people be if they are not Lin Jue's Luoyan Army? Secretly asked a few soldiers who were helping to heal the disease, and all this was confirmed.
Lin Jue has been helping the injured to heal their injuries. The army has done a lot over the past few months, including a never-before-seen requirement to have a medical doctor and a first-aid kit.
Lin Jue has experienced a lot of battles of various scales, large and small, and has already seen too much about life and death. But from these experiences, Lin Jue saw that many soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield often died not from their injuries, but from failure to treat and deal with them in time afterwards, resulting in the death of the seriously injured, and the minor injuries turned into serious injuries or even death from infection. Death on the battlefield is a fate, but it is unacceptable for the wounded to delay treatment and die. Therefore, Lin Jue decided to change the way of battlefield rescue.
How precious a soldier's life is, and how difficult it is to train a soldier, Lin Jue is deeply aware of it. Especially the soldiers of the Luoyan Army, all of them are treasures, Lin Jue must not let this
Things happen. Minimizing death and disability due to delayed treatment is something Lin Jue feels must do.
In the past, after the battle, the wounded were sent back to the unified army for medical treatment by the medical officer, which was too long and could easily cause non-combat death. Therefore, Lin Jue decided to implement the first aid system in the Luoyan Army. Every ten-person squad must have a first responder, carrying simple dressing and treatment medicines and supplies such as gold sore medicine, gauze and hemostatic ointment, and even a sewing kit. At critical times, the wound can be stitched for emergency treatment. To this end, the army has trained first responders, and thousands of soldiers have been trained every night in the county hall to learn the skills of simple treatment and bandaging from the mountain medical officer. Nearly 5,000 first-aid soldiers were trained in three months. Although their skills may not be proficient, and they are not called medical skills, as long as they can understand the rescue and medicine in case of emergency, it is enough. Often, because of the failure to stop the bleeding or disinfect the wound in time, a precious soldier of the Fallen Goose Army will be killed.
This time, more than 100 carefully selected guards who came to the north followed everyone knew how to use first aid, and everyone carried first-aid drugs and utensils. Because Lin Jue knew the dangers of this road, and sometimes it was even possible to survive alone, so these safeguards were necessary. It is precisely because of this that at this moment, the wounds of the nearly 400 officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou can be treated and bandaged with medicine. These people can also be regarded as ancestors who have accumulated virtue, otherwise a large number of them will die because of their injuries even if they do not die on the battlefield.
After being busy for more than half an hour, all the wounded cavalry were treated, and they were settled to rest for a while, Lin Jue washed his hands and sat on a rock. Bai Bing took the kettle and took out two compressed sugar cakes for Lin Jue to satisfy his hunger. At this moment, the sun is already setting in the west, and the sky is about to twilight. It had been a day since the ambush that began early in the morning. Lin Jue and the others hadn't eaten yet, so Lin Jue ordered everyone to take out dry food and distribute it, and everyone was hungry on the spot.
Lin Jue puffed out his cheeks and chewed on the sweet compressed sugar cake, looking thoughtful. At this time, Han Gang slowly walked towards Lin Jue with several generals. Han Gang's arms were wrapped in white gauze, and a hemostatic plaster was also attached to his forehead under the helmet. The injuries on his body were also treated, and the injuries on his arms were more serious, but fortunately they were only skin injuries, not muscles and bones. His face was clouded, and it was clear that he was not in a very good mood.
Lin Jue saw him coming, and stood up with a smile. Han Gang walked a few steps closely, and suddenly knelt in front of Lin Jue with a pop. Lin Jue was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Han Gang couldn't stand it, and the tiger eyes shouted with tears: "Han thanked Lord Lin on behalf of my brothers, if it wasn't for Lord Lin to help today, a brother like mine would have died in Huangquan." Han was incompetent, and the brothers who harmed him were sent to death, and it was not a pity for Han to die. But the life of a brother like mine is like a treasure. Thank you, Lord Lin. ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "General Han should not be like this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and General Han does not have to blame himself." Victory in a battle is nothing. What's more, General Han and your family members have also done their best today. Although the Liao were successfully ambushed, they also suffered heavy casualties. ”
Han Gang shook his head with tears and said, "My tens of thousands of good brothers, there are only ...... left There are hundreds of people in front of me. As a leading general, Han was ashamed. Han actually had no face to live, and Han wanted to apologize for his crimes, and he died. ”
Everyone around was shocked, and Ma Qingshan was stunned: "How can General Han have such thoughts? finally escaped death, how can you have the idea of suicide? Besides, this battle is not General Han's fault, Lord Lin, they have warned in advance, and you will too
The news was reported to Marshal Yang. It was Marshal Yang who did not believe the warning and ordered our cavalry to march regardless of the danger, which led to today's disaster. General Han had been more vigilant along the way, but under the military order, we were ordered to rush to Xijin Mansion this evening. The inviolability of military orders prevented the general from sending men to search the surrounding hills and march cautiously. Today's defeat is not so much the fault of the general as the fault of Marshal Yang. ”
Several generals on the side also said: "Yes, what Brother Ma said is extremely true, we have been careful enough along the way, but the marshal gave a death order, forcing us to march quickly, and we can't carefully survey the surroundings." This is not the general's fault, and the general should not blame himself. ”
Han Gang was dumbfounded: "What words?" How can I pass the buck to others? Marshal Yang is thinking about the overall situation, how can he think of these details? If Marshal Yang wants to judge everything personally, what else do you want us to do? I'm actually a fluke myself, I should have done better. The lives of tens of thousands of brothers have been buried in my hands, can I still shirk my responsibility? ”
Ma Changqing and the others frowned and were speechless, they all knew that Han Gang and Marshal Yang had a deep relationship, he had always respected Marshal Yang, even if he knew that it was Yang Jun's fault, he could not blame Yang Jun. Han Gang is such a person, he is upright and kind, which is why he is loved by his soldiers.
Lin Jue frowned and was silent, he couldn't say anything in this matter, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but Sun Dayong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it.
"You Han Gang, who are you going to die or live here at this moment? How do you cry like a woman? Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and if you lose, you have to die or live, what kind of man is it? Han Xin was still humiliated by his crotch back then, what was the result? Do you dare to say that the Marquis of Huaiyin is not a big hero? Besides, today's defeat is your own doing, and you should indeed take responsibility. We risked our lives to find out the news of the Liao people's ambush to inform you, but you turned a deaf ear. You have not been wronged in this defeat. We started in the early hours of the morning, taking great risks to sneak into the battlefield to save you, although we couldn't save all of you from danger, but at least we saved hundreds of you people, and now you want to find your life and death? If we knew this was the case, why did we put so much effort into it? If you want to die, you can find a stone and kill yourself, but don't cry here to annoy people. ”
Lin Jue hurriedly stopped, but he didn't stop Sun Dayong's crackling knife-like words. Sun Dayong's words made the faces of several generals beside Han Gang change and become extremely ugly. It looks like it's about to have a seizure.
"Brother Sun, don't say it, don't say it soon. Don't be surprised, my grandson brother is upright, and you must not care if you have anything to say. If there is any offense, please bear with me. Lin Jue hurriedly played a round.
"I think what Brother Sun said is very true, isn't what he said right? This disaster could have been avoided, but Yang Jun's family held on to his personal grievances and took his husband's warning as a deaf ear. These people are all old ...... Yang Jun The old puppet gave the harm. This General Han is also not authentic, it is obviously Yang Jun's fault, he wants to take it to his body, and he wants to live or die. I've never seen anyone so stupid. If I knew this, I really shouldn't have saved them. Since they want to die, they should die. Gao Muqing also caught up with the conversation.
Lin Jue rolled his eyes with a wry smile, and said in his heart: Grandma, don't make a mess, don't make trouble. Doesn't this make Han Gang unable to step down? If we do wipe our necks, it's like we're forcing someone to death.
