Chapter 817: The Arrival of Tubo
The small Gaochang is only the most marginal city in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not even as good as Jiayuguan in terms of size and importance.
But it's just this place, but they can't do anything.
Unlike the gloomy Turkic Western Regions coalition camp, the city of Gaochang was lively, and they never thought that war could be so simple.
The corpses of the enemy outside the city were stacked on more than one layer, and roughly they all lost twenty or thirty thousand, while on the defenders' side, only more than seventy people died, and although there were more than a thousand seriously wounded, there was a large amount of medicine, and even if they could not recover their combat strength, they would not all die.
The wounded barracks are no longer a place of death in the army, but a holy place for saving the wounded.
After a day of fighting in the city, although he was also very tired, Leng Feng did not go back to rest, but first went to the wounded barracks to see the casualties.
That's something the manager has to worry about.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner in the camp for the wounded soldiers, and the military doctors treated the wounded soldiers in order of the severity of their injuries, and those who had been treated first had already begun to scream miserably.
It's good to scream, which means that Zhongqi is not injured, and it will be no problem to recuperate for a while at most.
There are still not enough manpower in the wounded barracks, and although Lao Sun's medical school has worked hard to teach students, those graduates every year not only have to supplement the needs of the army, but also diverge to the civilian population.
One hundred and twenty military doctors, this is still the number of troops under the comity of many armies, and the priority is given to Gaochang.
Passing by a stretcher, seeing that there was only one person holding the wounded soldier, Leng Feng hurried over and helped hold down the wounded soldier's leg.
The wounded soldier was shot with two arrows in the shoulder, and the military doctor did not give him anesthetic, but directly began to pull out the arrows and stitch up the wound.
The wounded soldier was still struggling and screaming at first, but when he realized that it was the marshal who was pressing his leg, he suddenly remained motionless, but from his constantly twitching muscles and sweaty face, you could still see how much pain he had.
After the first wound was stitched up, Leng Feng asked the military doctor: "Why don't you give him hemp boiling?" ”
Lao Sun has long studied the boiling powder of hemp, and even formulated the standard and dosage of local anesthesia for general anesthesia.
The military doctor said helplessly: "Marshal, although we are not short of white medicine and penicillin, but Ma Boiling Powder is really lacking, white medicine and penicillin are both combat readiness, and Ma Boiling Powder does not have a large amount of reserves, as far as we have now, they are still made overtime in the pre-war medical school workshop." This person's injuries are not fatal, and he can endure them, so he is the master of his humble duties and does not use them for him. ”
The soldier endured the pain and said: "Marshal, I am a false alarm, I will be fine if I shout twice, I can bear it, don't worry, the other brothers need that medicine even more!" ”
Leng Feng patted his leg: "Good job!" ”
It wasn't until the second wound was stitched up that Leng Feng let go of his leg and went to inspect elsewhere.
The further the wounded soldiers went in, the more serious the wounded soldiers became, and the most serious one was shot in the head by an arrow, and he was still alive, that is, he was unconscious.
With such a serious injury, he should have given up, but the military doctor did not send him away, but chose to take a risk.
A full hour later, a military doctor came out of the tent where the operation was performed.
When he came out, he saw the marshal, and the military doctor was surprised and hurriedly saluted.
Leng Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Don't be polite, you have worked hard, how is that wounded soldier?" ”
The military doctor sighed: "We were careful and tried hard, but.... Alas! ”
Failed.
Leng Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged, if you work hard, no one will say bad things about you." You did the right thing, not abandoning or giving up is what the wounded barracks should be! ”
Hearing Leng Feng's words, the eyes of the wounded soldiers present were red.
In the past, entering the wounded barracks was equivalent to pronouncing a death sentence, but now....
It was already late at night when he came out of the wounded barracks, and even Leng Feng was so sleepy that he yawned.
Walking to the door of the bedroom, Leng Feng saw Li Erniu with a heavy face.
Leng Feng chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Erniu said with a dark face: "Forty-four Niu died in battle, and was shot in the neck by the enemy...."
Only about seventy people died, and one of them was a member of the Dragon's Tooth Army, and one of the herd.
This is the cruelty of large-scale war, under the rain of arrows, even if it is as elite as the dragon's tooth army, there is a danger of loss.
Leng Feng sighed: "Convergence, if the war is fought until summer, then cremate him." ”
If possible, Leng Feng also hopes that Forty-Four Niu can return to Chang'an as completely as possible. After all, Forty-Four Niu was also one of the retainers.
Li Erniu nodded and went to do what Leng Feng ordered.
Even the so-called invincible Dragon Tooth Army is not absolutely invincible. This truth was understood by everyone as early as when the grassland damaged the copper hammer and them.
In Leng Feng's bedroom, Li Xiaogong was also there.
Seeing Leng Feng yawning and entering the door again and again, Li Xiaogong said, "Tomorrow, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll watch it for you." ”
After all, Leng Feng hadn't slept for a day and a night, and he hadn't watched during the day, and his physical strength had been consumed a lot.
Leng Feng shook his head: "I always feel that there will be a big battle tomorrow, just sleep almost." ”
Li Xiaogong pointed in the direction outside the city and said: "It seems that they are ruthless and dare to use the number of people to pile up the victory, if the corpses outside the city are piled up..."
Leng Feng waved his hand: "Let's take one step at a time, if you want to pile up the corpses as high as the Gaochang city wall, you need at least thirty or forty thousand, and the four city walls are hundreds of thousands, I don't believe they are willing to do it!"
The Turkic Western Regions Alliance Army is only 300,000 troops, and half of it has been lost, what a ruthless heart this leader has to have!
Li Xiaogong sighed, walked out of Leng Feng's bedroom, and went back to rest.
During the day, he also participated in the battle, and his old body was not as energetic as before.
In a quiet night, the Turkic Western Regions coalition army did not attack at night, even if the gasoline fire burned by the Tang army also had a convenient lighting for them.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the drums of war began.
Leng Feng rolled over, quickly put on his clothes and armor, and climbed to the top of the city.
At the head of the city, Li Xiaogong held a telescope, his face sinking like water.
"What's wrong?"
Leng Feng walked up to Li Xiaogong, followed his line of sight, and looked through a telescope.
When he saw the extra soldiers on the edge of the camps of the countries in the Western Regions, Leng Feng couldn't help but sink his face.
Whether it is the costume, or the fox tail hanging high on the flagpole behind their team, it all shows their identity - Tubo!!
Li Xiaogong put down the binoculars: "How can the Tubo people appear here?" Could it be that something happened in Guazhou or Dafeichuan? ”
Leng Feng shook his head: "Whether it is Wei Guogong, Hu Guogong, or Lu Guogong, they will not be defeated. Besides, even if they were defeated, why didn't the Tubo people attack the interior from there, but instead came to Gaochang at the expense of the near and far? ”
