Chapter 538: The Uneasiness of Victory

In the barracks of the Han Dynasty, the atmosphere was completely different from that on the battle array. Some of the wounded had been sent back to the barracks, and there were groans of pain everywhere; Hearing those cries suddenly makes people feel that there is nothing to love.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu and the others who had just returned from the battlefield, I am afraid that at this time, they would mistakenly think that the Han Wang's army had been defeated?

Walking on the dirt road, I can hear the crying father and mother around me, which is unbearable.

There are not many soldiers who really die on the battlefield, and the penetration of weapons at this time is not enough, and most of the soldiers with armor will not be killed directly, but injured. But that's what really cruel things are! Many wounded soldiers will not die immediately, but wait for death slowly, and Lang Zhong will not be able to heal people who are too seriously injured.

Zhu Gaoxu's nervous and excited emotions gradually subsided at this time.

He was a brave vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, but he was not very fond of war...... At this moment, the grand scenes on the battlefield, the exciting and generous shouts are gone, and the great feats cannot be intuitively felt; Some were caused in less than a day, causing a large number of casualties.

Perhaps for ordinary soldiers or civilians, war itself is meaningless. Even the sergeants who participated in the war had moments of excitement and excitement, but it was likely that they would die in an instant, and there was only one human life.

Zhu Gaoxu rode into the village where he lived last night, and all the soldiers he met in the village were soldiers of the baggage team, and there were no people.

After a while, the subordinate generals beside him opened the courtyard door of the Chinese army. Zhu Gaoxu was in pain, so he rode in.

At this moment, Miaojin suddenly rushed to the door of the hall, and she suddenly stopped at the door again, and her expression became very strange. I saw that Miaojin's face was pale, a trace of dead ash flashed in his apricot eyes, his fingers were trembling, and he held on to the door frame, and his body softened.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and realized the terrible appearance on his body!

His chest and breastplate were in disarray, with two arrows that had cut off their tails, and guns; There was still an arrow on his back...... The arrows were not pulled, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to bleed too much. And his face and entire upper body were covered with blood, the blood of officers and soldiers!

"I can't die." Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly explained, turned over and dismounted vigorously.

He saw Miao Jin frightened like that, and thought that most of the time she was a little cold to herself, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but laugh.

Miaojin saw Zhu Gaoxu's agile movements and the smile on his face, and his expression immediately changed again. Gradually, she gained strength and stood up.

Zhu Gaoxu greeted him, turned his head and said, "You go back first, call those eunuchs and treat my wounds." ”

"The last general will wait for the order!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked up to Miaojin and said kindly: "All bodies are covered with enemy blood. My armor is fine, and my arrows only hurt my flesh, so don't worry. ”

Miao Jin still didn't say anything, she lowered her head and turned her face sideways. After a while, Zhu Gaoxu vaguely saw water droplets dripping onto the ground, but he didn't hear a sound.

Zhu Gaoxu whispered again: "It seems that the little aunt still cares about me very much." ”

Miaojin raised her head, with a poignant face of pear blossoms and rain, but she showed an angry expression, and her voice changed, "There are so many people under Gao Xu, do you have to go into battle by yourself?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "If I hadn't personally led the troops to charge in this battle, the most critical battle on the right flank might not have been able to quickly defeat Xue Lu's army; If it fails to break through the enemy's left flank in one fell swoop, but it becomes a war of attrition, I am afraid it will not be a big war that can end in a few days. There will be more people who will die! ”

Because there were no serious consequences, Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any sympathy when he saw Miaojin's sadness, but was faintly happy. And her beautiful face is also unique when she is resentful and sad.

Miao Jin didn't argue with him, but the angry look remained on his face.

After a while, the guards and eunuchs came. So Zhu Gaoxu was in the hall and asked them to help remove the armor; He looked at the bloodstained and damaged armor on the table, and said to himself, this armor will need to be repaired for several days before it can be repaired.

Zhu Gaoxu asked someone to bring a bronze mirror, and when he took off the armor piece by piece, he stripped off his bloodstained clothes; And he took a bronze mirror and shone his wounds. From the nearby bronze mirror, he could see more clearly the lead pellet, which was like a freshly picked lotus seed, embedded in the flesh of the skin. Zhu Gaoxu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Although Zhu Gaoxu did not have much medical knowledge, he did know something: the most serious bacteria on the wound seemed to be anaerobic bacteria. The wound is not deep, and it is not easy to get infected when exposed to air!

Under Zhu Gaoxu's orders, the eunuchs were busy boiling gauze scarves and other things in boiling water; Then everyone pulled out the arrows and lead pellets on his body, Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and endured it, every time he pulled out the arrow, he only let out a muffled snort, but the sweat on his head also came out.

The people around him began to wash his wounds with cold boiled water and wipe his body. After that, everyone took out the soju stored in the army, which has been distilled since the Yuan Dynasty and used for disinfection. It is indeed not easy to store these soju, because of a little negligence in supervision, the officers and soldiers of the army will steal and drink it first, regardless of the problem after being injured!

After the wound was cleaned, everyone gave Zhu Gaoxu the gold sore medicine that he brought to Yunnan.

Miaojin bandaged Zhu Gaoxu's wound with gauze and asked, "I heard that there are more than 400,000 officers and soldiers, how did you win in less than a day?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Miao Jin first told me, what did you think when you saw that I was injured, and why was you scared like that?" ”

Miaojin hurriedly turned his head to look at the eunuchs and personal soldiers around him, but those people were expressionless and pretended not to hear. Her cheeks flushed, her seductive apricot eyes drooped down, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she looked at the ground below her side, avoiding everyone.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that her demeanor and movements at this time were very gentle, and he couldn't help but see it. When he looked down at Miaojin's demeanor, and saw her gently knotting the scarf, her full chest rose and fell slightly, and Zhu Gaoxu was even more distracted for a long time. A wonderful warm current flowed through his body, but the pain in various parts of his body tormented him from time to time, and Zhu Gaoxu's face was a little distorted and became very strange.

After being silent for a while, he said, "It's a long story, and it's not easy to explain, let alone explain to a woman. I'll talk about that later. ”

Miaojin let out a soft "um". When she looked up at him, Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was more admiration in her eyes. Usually women are not interested in war, but they are very interested in powerful men, and Zhu Gaoxu is very useful for a while.

…… The next day, Zhu Gaoxu had a low-grade fever, but he recovered the next day. After three days, the wound did not suppurate, and he began to itch with flesh, and he was completely relieved.

For three days, Zhu Gaoxu did not pay much attention to military affairs. During this period, he only issued a military order, telling the men of the baggage teams of each army to transport the wounded enemy soldiers on the battlefield back to the barracks and treat them.

There are no eternal enemies in this world, not to mention the Han military households of the Ming Dynasty. But it is also difficult for people to love each other all the time, otherwise there would not be so many fights and wars from ancient times to the present.

Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a loose thick robe, and his bare body was wrapped in gauze. He had been looking at the map in the hall for a long time, and gradually came to a clear judgment: with the ability of Sheng Yongqu Neng'an and other generals, Zhang Fu couldn't run many people!

The battlefield of the Battle of Huguang is located south of Shaoyang County and east of Fuyishui. Although the Fuyi water is not wide, it cannot wade across the river, not to mention that it is meaningless for the officials and soldiers to cross the Fuyi water to the west; They had no choice but to flee north.

Shaoyang County and Baoqing Mansion City in the north can't stay, if the officers and soldiers enter the city and delay time, they are more likely to be surrounded and can't run alone!

The defeated army reached the vicinity of Baoqing Fucheng, with Zishui to the west, Shaoshui to the northeast, and Danjiang to the east...... To the south is the pursuit of the Han army. Almost a dead land! However, the city of Baoqing is still under the control of the official army, and it may be possible to erect a pontoon bridge overnight to allow some officers and soldiers to cross Shaoshui.

Next, the defeated army had to cross the Shaoshui River to the east again, so that it could approach the Xiangjiang River to the east. Otherwise, if you go north to the vicinity of Xinhua County, it will really be a dead place; As long as the Han Wangjun copied the siege from the east bread, the officers and troops had no way out, and could only enter the sparsely populated mountainous area in a panic and discarded baggage, and the consequences can be imagined.

The escape route of hundreds of miles for the officers and soldiers, it is indeed too difficult to have a little more people left!

Before the battle, Zhang Fu obviously didn't think much about escaping after the defeat; If he had thought he was going to lose, he probably wouldn't have come to the showdown. But after the real defeat, because the retreat route is too difficult, Zhang Fu's defeat this time will definitely be very complete!

After Zhu Gaoxu determined the situation, he thought of the larger situation in the world, and his excitement gradually gained the upper hand.

He paced up and down the hall, and his excitement and ecstasy could not be calmed! Although it was not shown on his face, he appeared impetuous.

Not long ago, Zhu Gaoxu was still struggling with the pressure of survival; In the blink of an eye, a decisive battle turned the tide completely! Before he was ready, the whole day was suddenly placed in front of him.

It all came so fast!

He'd never felt like that before! It's just that I have thought about it many times in my dreams and imagination: what should I do if I suddenly win 10 million in Australia? Fantasies like that.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt like he had suddenly become a nouveau riche and suddenly won a lot of money, and the feeling was even stronger than that. If it weren't for the injuries on his body that hadn't healed and half of his body was aching, he really wanted to repair the car like crazy and vent.

Calm down! Zhu Gaoxu constantly reminds himself every day that considering his current identity, he must stabilize Bigge and not act like a dirt bun who got rich overnight.
