Chapter 974: The Battle of Daijun
Geng Shu looked at Guo Ji and asked, "Why did you want to join the army?"
Do you want to avenge Peng Xin? ”
Guo Ji didn't hide it, nodded heavily, and said, "Exactly!" ”
Geng Shu waved his hand and said, "If you just want to avenge Peng Xin before you choose to join the army, I advise you to dispel this idea!" ”
"General Geng......" "We will join the army only to serve the country loyally."
If you impulsively join the army just because of a momentary selfish anger, you will not be able to stay in the army for a long time, so don't join the army as soon as possible.
Geng Shu no longer paid attention to Guo Ji, who was still talking, and said to Jiang Zhou: "Lord Jiang Castle, let's say goodbye!" ”
Jiang Zhou hurriedly said: "General Geng wants to leave, at least let the soldiers rest before leaving!" I see that many soldiers have been injured, and their wounds are in urgent need of treatment! ”
After a pause, he said again: "General Geng's hand is also injured, there are some good gold sore medicines in the fort, General Geng can give it a try." ”
Geng Shu lowered his head and groaned, he was calculating the time to chase the enemy in his heart.
At this time, a young girl walked up to Geng Shu, blessed herself, and said, "Little girl Jiang Shiyun, meet the general!" ”
Before Geng Shu could speak, Jiang Zhou said with a smile: "General Geng, Shiyun is a little girl, proficient in medical skills, and the wound on General Geng's hand can be treated by Shiyun." ”
Geng Shu hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "Okay, in this case, it will trouble Miss Jiang." ”
"General Geng is polite."
Jiang Shiyun pulled Geng Shu to the side of the steps and asked him to sit on the steps, and then she carefully unwrapped the bandages on Geng Shu's hands.
The bandages were almost soaked in blood, and after removing all the blood-colored bandages, and seeing the wound on Geng Shu's palm clearly, Jiang Shiyun frowned and said, "Within a month, General Geng should not fight the enemy again!" ”
Geng Shu said indifferently: "It's just this little injury, it's not that serious!" ”
Jiang Shiyun looked at Geng Shu with some complaints, and then asked the maid to take a wooden box and open it, there were a lot of bottles and cans in it.
She first washed Geng Shu's palm with water, then took out a bottle of ointment and applied it to the wound on Geng Shu's palm.
The ointment is dark and shady, it looks disgusting, and it smells faintly burnt, and when it is applied to the wound, it is stinging at first, and after a while, it turns from pain to itching, and the itching of the wound is simply more unbearable than the stinging pain.
Geng Shu clenched his teeth, but he didn't say a word, and he endured it without moving.
Jiang Shiyun was secretly surprised, and added a little admiration to Geng Shu.
These ointments were all prepared by herself, she knew very well how effective the medicine was, Geng Shu could bear it, and her willpower and self-control were far beyond ordinary people.
After a while, the itch gradually disappeared and was replaced by a pleasant coolness.
Geng Shu raised his head in surprise, looked at Jiang Shiyun standing in front of him, and then looked down at the palm of his hand that was smeared with black, and asked in surprise, "What kind of medicine is this?" ”
"This is the hibiscus cream that the little woman concocted."
"Hibiscus cream?"
Geng Shu blinked his eyes and blurted out, "Isn't hibiscus cream a cure for diarrhea?" ”
Jiang Shiyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Geng to also understand the art of Qihuang.
The gold sore medicine prepared by the little woman is based on the main medicine of hibiscus, and also adds borneol and other medicines, so the little woman named it hibiscus ointment. ”
Geng Shu looked at Jiang Shiyun in surprise and asked, "Is this the gold sore medicine you prepared yourself?" ”
"Let General Geng smile."
Geng Shu sighed and sighed: "If the medical officer of our army can have such a clever medical skill as Miss Jiang, I don't know how many dying soldiers can be saved!" ”
The wounds suffered by the soldiers on the battlefield were basically all external injuries, and many of them died because of excessive bleeding or were painfully wounded to death.
Jiang Shiyun's hibiscus paste can not only relieve pain, but also effectively stop bleeding, which is very useful for soldiers in the army, and it can save lives at critical moments.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Hearing Geng Shu's muttering, Jiang Shiyun said, "The little girl is willing to be a famous medical officer under General Geng!" ”
Geng Shu was stunned at first, then waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "This can't be helped." ”
There can be no women in the army, but any woman who appears in the army is either a family member of a running man or a prostitute.
Of course, there is also a very special situation, that is, when the Son of Heaven is on the royal expedition, he may bring harem concubines.
In the Youzhou Raid, there is neither a running man nor a camp prostitute, so there is no female dependent under Geng Shu's command, and ordinary women can't stand the long journey of the cavalry.
Jiang Shiyun said: "Since there is a shortage of medical officers in the army, why does General Geng not allow the little girl to join?" ”
"This ......" The family had just helped him treat the wound on his palm, Geng Shu couldn't refuse her, he turned his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhou on the side.
Jiang Zhou Zhengse said: "If the little girl can really contribute to the soldiers in the army, the villain is willing to let the little girl join the army." ”
Geng Shu heard this, one head and two big, this Jiang Zhou, his heart is also big enough, he can't bear to let his beautiful daughter join the army?
Isn't he afraid that his daughter will make a mistake in the army?
Geng Shu wanted to refuse, Guo Ji came over again, and there were more than a dozen Jianghu people with Guo Ji, who bowed to Geng Shu together, and said in unison: "General Geng, we are all willing to join the army!" ”
Glancing at them, Geng Shu was just about to speak, and more than a dozen strong men came over and said in unison: "General Geng, I am also willing to join the army!" ”
Geng Shu's originally open mouth slowly closed, because more and more people gathered over, and people said the same thing, they all wanted to join the army.
He really didn't expect that there were so many people in this small Gaoyang Fort who wanted to join the army.
Several lieutenants under Geng Shu stepped forward and whispered beside him: "General, in today's battle, we have lost a lot of brothers, and now there are not even 4,000 people. ”
"Many people in Gaoyang Fort are Jianghu rangers, their force is not weak, joining our army can greatly make up for the loss of our army's combat power."
"And that Miss Jiang, her medical skills are really good, and she has just treated several brothers in our army who are dying.
If Miss Jiang can really join our army, the soldiers will have the bottom in their hearts when they charge in front of the two armies! ”
Several lieutenants said a word to you, and I said a word, and persuaded Geng Shu in the hope that he could accept all these people.
Geng Shu listened carefully at first, but after a while, he raised his eyebrows impatiently, glanced around at several captains, and scolded in a deep voice: "You talk a lot!" ”
Several lieutenants were so disciplined that they shrank their necks and did not dare to say more.
Geng Shu stood up and looked around at the people who were going to join the army, okay, looking around, there was a large area of black pressure, and it was estimated that there were as many as two or three hundred people.
He asked, "Among you, it is the Jianghu people who take three steps forward!" ”
In the crowd of two or three hundred people, seventy or eighty people came out of the crowd.
Geng Shu glanced around, there were really a lot of people, and he said: "I can ride a horse, three steps forward!" ”
Seventy and eighty people, almost none of whom stood still, all took three steps forward.
Geng Shu involuntarily stepped back and asked, "Have you really made up your mind to join the army?"
Joining the army is not child's play, you don't come when you want to, you can leave when you want, it's not that you can go to the battlefield if you want to, and you can leave at will if you want to! You've got to think about it! ”
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "I am willing to follow General Geng!" Willing to serve General Geng! ”
The reason why they were willing to join the army and join the Han army was largely out of admiration for Geng Shu.
They admired Geng Shu's personality, his ability to lead troops into battle, and his courage in taking the lead.
Geng Shu's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, he nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" From now on, you will be a member of my Youzhou Raid! ”
"General Geng, what about us?"
"General Geng, have you forgotten us?"
Those strong men who were not from the rivers and lakes were all anxious, and they all looked at Geng Shu with a red face and a thick neck.
Geng Shu Zhengse said: "The war in Daijun is not over yet, there are still many big battles to be fought in the future, you have no training, and you have no combat experience, so to go to the battlefield is to seek your own death." ”
The point is that not only will you die, but you will most likely implicate your comrades, and eventually cause many people to die because of you.
Seeing that everyone listened to their words, they all lowered their heads in frustration, Geng Shu continued: "If you really intend to join the army, when the war in Daijun is over, you come to sign up again, and I will definitely accept them all!" ”
People's eyes lit up suddenly, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Thank you, General Geng!" ”
Jiang Shiyun asked in a low voice beside him, "General Geng, what about me?" ”
"You ......" Geng Shu still refused, and several lieutenants reminded one after another: "General! ”
After thinking about it, Geng Shu finally took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Miss Jiang can stay in the army to help for the time being, and when the war is over, Miss Jiang must go home! ”
Jiang Shiyun's face was overjoyed, and he bowed, and said, "Little girl, thank you General Geng!" ”
Geng Shu and his Youzhou cavalry temporarily rested in Gaoyang Fort, and then left a group of seriously injured in Gaoyang Fort, and then Geng Shu led the Youzhou Cavalry, left Gaoyang Fort, and went to pursue the remnants of the fleeing Hun cavalry.
The remnants of the Xiongnu went straight to Daicheng.
The reason why they ran in the direction of Daicheng is also understandable, after all, Lu Fangjun led by Jia Lan and Jia Biao are all in Daicheng.
It's just that when the Huns ran to Daicheng, they were just in time for the defeat of Lu Fang's army.
The Western Expedition Army led by Feng Yi and the Lu Fang Army led by Jia Lan launched a decisive battle outside the city of Daicheng.
In this battle, 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army and 80,000 soldiers and horses of Lu Fang's army, the two sides had a slight advantage in terms of troops.
However, in terms of combat power, the advantage of the Western Army is too great.
The Western Army has experienced the conquest of Wang Lang's army, the conquest of the rebel army, the conquest of Liu Xuanjun, the conquest of the Red Mei army, and the conquest of the Shu army.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as having experienced a hundred battles, whether it is the combat strength of individual soldiers, or the overall coordination, and even the combat concept, it is much higher than Lu Fangjun.
When the soldiers of the two sides came into contact with each other, the battle lasted less than an hour, and the superiority of the Han army was manifested.
I saw that on the side of the Han army, the soldiers were becoming more and more courageous, advancing step by step.
On the other hand, Lu Fang's army, whether it was the front middle army, the left army, or the right army, was at a disadvantage on the whole front, and was forced to retreat again and again by the advancing Han army.
Jia Lan and Jia Biao knew that there was a gap in the combat strength of the two sides, but they didn't expect the gap to be so big.
Jia Lan and Jia Biao's generals discussed, feeling that this battle could not be fought by their own side, and if they fought hard, they would only cause excessive casualties to their own side.
After discussion, Jia Lan decided to let his soldiers retreat to the city of Daicheng.
However, before he could give the order to retreat, two groups of cavalry suddenly came out from the opposite Zhengxi army, and these two groups of cavalry bypassed the left and right armies of Lu Fang's army respectively, like two knives, and went straight into the rear army of Lu Fang's army.
Lu Fangjun's rear army was caught off guard by the two cavalry that suddenly killed him, and he was in chaos.
Soon, the chaos of the rear army spread to the Chinese army, and from the Chinese army to the front army, and in just half an hour, the front, middle, and rear armies of Lu Fang's army were all in chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Yi gave the order for the whole army to storm on.
The Western Army, which was originally advancing step by step and advancing slowly, suddenly accelerated the speed of its advance, strengthened the offensive of the advance, and directly dispersed the front army of Lu Fang's army after this round of strong attack.
The Western Army began to launch a fierce attack on Lu Fang's Chinese army.
Jia Lan and the surrounding generals were all shocked, Jia Lan ordered the whole army to retreat and retreat to Daicheng, but now his order could not be conveyed.
As far as the eye could see, there were panicked soldiers of Lu Fang's army everywhere, and there were crowds of people fleeing in all directions, and the 80,000-strong Lu Fangjun had been completely defeated by the Western Army.
