Chapter 280: Medical Camp

Ma Rong left more than 3,000 corpses in Yuanling City and withdrew in a hurry, but in this tough battle, the Wuling army also suffered heavy casualties, including more than 2,000 casualties, including the forced labor and engineers of the Fan Battalion and the Baggage Battalion.

As the state of Chenzhou, Yuanling is the political, cultural and economic center of Chenzhou, and there were thousands of households in the city at the early beginning, when the forces of the surnames united to resist the Han family father and son, there were some big surnames who moved their relatives from Luxi, Lingling and other counties into Yuanling to avoid war.

In their opinion, no matter how strong the Han family's father and son were, it would never be possible to easily capture Yuanling City.

When Ma Rong led the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou to enter Yuanling, there were almost more than 20,000 people gathered in the city.

No one thought that the main force of the troops they had assembled on the southern front would be annihilated so easily, and Xiying ignored the revenge of killing his son, but turned his head and accepted the appeasement of the imperial court.

After that, the forces of the surnames who remained in Yuanling City naturally would no longer be trusted by Ma Rong, and after the armor of hundreds of soldiers was lifted, the relatives and dependents of the surnames were not only allowed to go out of the city, but were either imprisoned or driven to the head of the city to assist in defending the city.

In the final stage of the siege war, the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou resisted stubbornly, and had no intention of giving up Yuanling City easily, and used the intricate buildings and streets in the city to fight, wanting to kill the Wuling army and withdraw.

In order to reduce its own casualties, after occupying the city wall, the Wuling army naturally used whirlwind artillery to smash a stronghold occupied by the enemy, and suffered many accidental injuries in the process.

Although the specific number has not yet been counted, the death toll of the civilians in the city and the relatives of the Chenzhou tribes is estimated to be no less than 2,000 due to these two main reasons.

For Yuanling City, which is only two miles square and has more than 10,000 people, it can already be said that it is a river of blood, and it can be said that every household wears linen and filial piety.

Even so, being able to take Yuanling City in such a short period of time, Xiying's heart was irrepressibly shocked, he couldn't imagine that if he didn't choose to compromise in Datanzhai, how much would the Wuling army be able to support with such a strong offensive on their heads?

Three days?

Five days?

Half a month?

No, Xiying can definitely believe that they can't support half a month.

Da Tan Zhai is far from being as deep as Yuanling City, the surnames can only gather two thousand soldiers at most in Da Tan Village, and Ma Rong guards Yuanling, some of the means of defending the city that he can't imagine have been used, without revealing any flaws that he can see, Tanzhou finally left less than 2,000 remnants of soldiers to withdraw, and they have not completely collapsed, what confidence does he have to defend Da Tan Village, can he guard Yuanling longer than Ma Rong?

Xiying is thin and small, his face is dark and thin, if he wasn't wearing Zhou Sima's Zhengliupin dark green official robe at this time, he was like an ordinary Shanyue old man in the crowd, no one would associate him with the fastest rising and most famous Fanzhai powerhouse in Chenzhou in the past ten years.

Yes, in just over ten years, Chenzhou Xishi has expanded from a medium-sized village with less than 1,000 people to the first surname in Chenzhou with 20,000 people.

It's just that at this time, after winning this battle, he looked old and depressed, standing on top of the ruined city and looking at the beginning of the river flowing into the Yuan River, his mood was complicated, and the depression in his heart was difficult to dissipate, and finally turned into a light sigh and vomited.

"This battle Fan Battalion has contributed a lot, Lord Zheng also said that the Fan Battalion will first recruit soldiers from Lingling, Luling and other places to supplement the combat strength, I thought that Lord Xi had gone to Lingling to select Jianyong, I didn't want to see Lord Xi here sad spring and autumn! But what worries can Han Qian solve for Lord Xi? ”

Xiying turned around and saw Han Qian, who was wearing a scribe's robe, walking from Dengcheng Road and smiling and talking to him with a spring breeze on his face, and behind him was Mrs. Xi, who abandoned Feng Changyu and threw herself into Han Qian, following Han Qian's side like a shadow.

Han Qian had a kind smile on his face, as if he was as kind as a spring breeze, but Xiying seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, and his heart palpitated slightly, and at this moment, he didn't have the courage to look directly into the eyes of the overly young person in front of him.

Are you really old?

Outsiders generally thought that the Han family's father and son could rise in Xuzhou because of the ability of their father Han Daoxun, but Xi Xunqiao went to Datan Village to persuade him not to act rashly, but he clearly told him that he didn't want to wash the clan and exterminate the clan, and offending Han Qian was the real stupidity.

Even his three sons can be said to have died under Han Qiansheng's scheme, but Xiying did not attach great importance to Xixunqiao's warning in Datanzhai, but in the battle of Yuanling, he really understood some of Xixunqiao's words, and his reflection on the past was also deeper.

Yes, if it weren't for the self-righteous belief that the Han family's father and son would never have handed over the three thousand elite generals who had managed it with great difficulty to Zheng Hui, he would not have fallen for Han Qian's plan to attack the east and west, and he would have gone to Datan Village to sit in town, and handed over the more strategically valuable Jiming Village to the Tiger Shooting Defense.

Based on this alone, Xiying found that she was too much worse than the young man in front of her.

What's more, the new trebuchet whirlwind cannon was first built when Han Qian helped the third prince defend Xichuan City, and it had not appeared on the battlefield before.

"The soldiers suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and Xiying stood on the city wall and saw a corpse floating by the river, so she sighed with emotion." Xiying was stunned for a while, and then remembered that she hadn't responded to Han Qian's question, and found an excuse to get around.

Then he talked nonsense with Han Qian a few more words, and Xiying found excuses and went down the city wall.

"This battle is obviously a river of blood for the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou, why is this Xiying a little afraid of you, is it possible that he doesn't even dare to count the death of his three sons on your head?" Xi Ying looked at Xiying's slightly gloomy back as he walked down the road to the city and sighed, "In this way, Emperor Tianyou wants to support the forces that restore the native surname in Chenzhou, lest the hands of your Han family father and son stretch too long, and most of them will be in vain!" ”

"You said before that Emperor Tianyou recruited Fanying and couldn't control the development of the situation here, so you mean this?" Xi Ying asked.

Han Qian shrugged, did not answer Xi Ying's question, but pulled her to inspect the craftsman protection camp.

The medical camp was also located in a col on the west side of the Iron Rock Slope and had not been moved into the city.

Due to the large number of wounded and wounded in this battle, the scale of the medical camp at this time seemed to be very large, and nearly 200 tents were distributed in an orderly manner in the mountain col.

At this time, the injured civilians in the city were also brought in one after another for treatment.

Because the camp bears a huge siege task, the number of wounded soldiers in the camp is even more than half.

These wounded soldiers were mainly from Chenzhou, that is, most of them had brothers or clansmen who were annihilated by the Wuling army in the ambush of Lao Yao Pass, but at this time, when they saw Han Qian walking into the camp, even if they were indifferent, there was a trace of gratitude in their eyes.

The vast majority of these soldiers are veterans, and they know very well what kind of treatment ordinary soldiers can get after being injured in the past.

At that time, there were extremely sophisticated Jinchuang medicines that could inhibit wound infections and also had a good hemostatic effect, but the drugs used in such Jinchuang medicines were very scarce, and they were very few, and they could only be supplied to middle and senior military attachés.

Ordinary soldiers are injured, at most they can only use plant ash to stop the bleeding, and even use mud to paste the wound, whether the wound can heal and scar, can really only be said to be fate, and most of the wounded can not escape excessive blood loss or abscess burst to death.

Cold weapon warfare, especially as the winning side, the proportion of generals who actually die directly on the battlefield is not particularly high, and more people still die from excessive blood loss and wound infection.

In the traditional military medical camp, because the wounds of the wounded soldiers are infected and suppurated, even if they are cleaned up, the camp is a mess, which in turn seriously affects the mood of the wounded soldiers.

In the usual wounded camp, there is usually only one medical officer, with a dozen doctors or apprentices, and there is no way to take care of hundreds or thousands of wounded soldiers.

In order to avoid affecting other soldiers, the wounded camp will be isolated from the main camp, which further strengthens the low morale of the wounded soldiers who are abandoned.

And these phenomena do not exist in the medical battalion under Han Qian's management.

Han Qian had earlier promoted the use of alcohol and salt water for debridement within Zuosi, and also tried to suture the wound to stop bleeding, but during the Jingxiang War, he was still exploring many things, and he was restricted by many conditions, and the treatment of the wounded soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army had not yet been highlighted at that time.

The preparation of real high-purity alcohol was not studied thoroughly until Han Qian went to Yandang Jizhuang Courtyard, and there were many impurities of sea salt that could be obtained during the war in Jingzhou, and the previous method of disinfection and debridement did not inhibit wound infection well.

Of course, it just didn't reach the level that Han Qian expected.

At that time, there were also osteopathy for the treatment of bone injuries, and plaster was even used as a medicine to clear heat and stop bleeding, and it had long been used by doctors, but no one had realized the real role of gypsum on bone grafting, but these things were only after the Jingxiang War before Han Qian had time to ponder.

Alcohol and saline debridement after repeated evaporation and impurities, suturing the wound to stop bleeding, as well as the use of clean gauze, and plaster for bone grafting, Han Qian has only recently formed a complete set of battlefield treatment methods.

Although the world has no specific concept of microorganisms, parasites, bacteria, viruses, etc., Han Qian continued to use the concept of "water Gu plague", using the mysterious impression of Gu poison in people's minds for thousands of years, and infused the concepts of microorganisms, parasites, bacteria, viruses and other concepts into "Gu poison", providing theoretical support for debridement and other methods, teaching the Du family brothers and sisters, and encouraging them to explore the internal structure of the human body, so as to continue to improve the treatment of trauma.

Han Qian handed over the command to Zheng Hui, and he concentrated on the logistics and heavy matters, and also set up a special craftsman protection battalion as soon as possible.

In addition to more than a dozen doctors and apprentices like Du Qiniang, Du Jiuniang, Du Junming, and more than a dozen doctors and apprentices affiliated to the Xuzhou Medical Center who have mastered certain medical skills, Han Qian gathered them, and also compiled more than 100 healthy women with diligent hands and feet and delicate minds into the medical camp, and the new trauma treatment method can be regarded as a mature foundation for large-scale promotion.

Zhao Ting'er specially asked Han Qian to be sent to the medical camp to keep an eye on it.

Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang also took the initiative to go to the medical camp to help, they were more with other thoughts, but Han Qian did not turn them away.

Although many things are being explored in the medical battalion of Caochuang, it has also played a great role in the previous battlefield treatment.

In the first battle of Lao Yao Pass, the Wuling army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but in addition to more than 300 soldiers who died on the battlefield and more than 100 were disabled, nearly 600 generals finally returned to the camp.

In the first battle of Yuanling, the casualties were more than 2,000, and less than 500 people were killed on the battlefield.

If the traditional method of treating ordinary soldiers is followed, these wounded soldiers will eventually be able to rely on their own immunity to regain their vitality, but according to the preliminary treatment situation, Han Qian expects that a thousand people will be able to be completely cured.

In addition, the miasma plague on the battlefield of Hunan and Guizhou that makes people talk about tiger discoloration, in the Wuling army, even if there is a general infection, it can be effectively treated in time.

Most of the wounded and injured have received effective and adequate treatment, the condition of the medical camp has been much better than that of the traditional camp, and the mood and morale of the injured are very stable.

Whether the wound has improved or not, whether the treatment has been effective, the wounded soldiers themselves feel the most deeply and intuitively.

Han Qian ran diligently to the medical camp, in addition to some methods, he also needed to further collect on-site information for deliberation, on the other hand, among the soldiers and other generals, there was such a good opportunity to brush up on prestige, how could he miss it?
