Chapter 44 Digging the Foot of the Wall 1
Li Zicheng was not in the big tent, his personal guards took Xiao Tianjian to the old camp, today at the end of the day, Li Zicheng's generals paid a lot of losses, hundreds of dead and wounded people, the dead are easy to say, they do this line of work where they die where they die, but after this battle, there are hundreds of wounded alone, after Li Zicheng came back from collecting troops, he personally went to the medical camp to visit those wounded.
After Xiao Tianjian followed Li Zicheng's personal guards into their medical camp, his brows suddenly furrowed, what kind of medical camp is this! It was like a slaughterhouse, the screams of the wounded were everywhere, the ground was full of blood and sewage, mosquitoes and flies were flying all over the sky, many of the wounded were lying on the spot under the simple tents, and the few Lang Zhong who accompanied the army could not take care of so many wounded at all, leaving the wounded to lie on the ground whining and wailing.
At this time, Li Zicheng was also personally bandaging the wounds of some wounded, using dirty linen, and there was no effective treatment at all.
And Xiao Tianjian was on the way to Li Zicheng, he saw a Lang Zhong scalding the wound on the back of a wounded man with a red-hot soldering iron, stopping the bleeding for the wounded, the air was filled with a stench of burnt human flesh, the wounded were pressed to the ground by several people, screaming and crying like killing pigs, and after a while, he fainted, Lang Zhong who accompanied the army shook his head and sighed: "This brother is no good!" Carry it out and bury it! ”
Xiao Tianjian shook his head secretly, treating the wounded like this, even if they didn't deserve to die, they would probably be tossed to death, and with the sanitary conditions here, there is no way to prevent the infection of the wounds of the wounded, speaking of which is to treat them, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let them wait here to die, whether they can live or not depends on their own resistance, the big life can bear it, and the life is not hard enough will definitely not live for a few days!
Compared with the medical camp of the Xingtian Army, this can only be regarded as a slaughterhouse, and it is no wonder that every time there is a battle, so many people will die.
After Li Zicheng bandaged the wound, he clapped his hands and straightened his waist, turned his head just to see Xiao Tianjian coming, so he took a piece of cloth, wiped the dirty blood on his hands, and walked out of the tent with his legs raised.
Seeing Li Zicheng covered in blood and covering the wounded without caring about it, Xiao Tianjian secretly said in his heart that Li Zicheng would really buy people's hearts, and a master general could deign to go to the medical camp to do these things in person, no matter whether he was acting or not, presumably those who survived the wounded would be grateful to him in the future and become his diehards, no wonder there were so many pole heads, and in the end, Li Zicheng achieved a great cause, from the point of view of the details, Li Zicheng does have his uniqueness, at least the reputation of this soldier cannot escape.
"Why did Brother Xiao come here? It's really filthy here, which makes Brother Xiao laugh! After Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, he walked over and asked Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian was looking down at the wounded man lying at his feet, this wounded man was still very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, only a faint layer of fur had grown on his lips, his face was pale, and he was lying on the ground moaning weakly.
He had four arrow wounds on his body, and the arrows had not yet come out of the wounds, and if he didn't treat them, I'm afraid this little life would not be able to survive.
Xiao Tianjian was not too dirty, leaned down and checked the young man's injury, in fact, this young man's injury was not too serious in his opinion, as long as he quickly took out the arrow, cleaned the wound well, stitched it up, and rested for a few days, there should be no problem.
"I'm afraid he won't make it! Let's talk in a different place! Li Zicheng seemed to be used to this kind of thing, so he simply glanced at the young wounded man on the ground, and then whispered to Xiao Tianjian.
Although Li Zicheng's voice was very small, the young wounded man lying on the ground still heard his words, tears immediately flowed out, his mouth opened a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but there was a desperate look in his eyes.
Xiao Tianjian gently patted the young man's shoulder a few times and comforted him: "Little brother is good!" Rest assured, you won't die! Lang Zhong is too busy at this time, I will help you treat it later, don't be discouraged, be strong! ”
After the young man heard Xiao Tianjian's words, he glanced at Xiao Tianjian gratefully, and said to Xiao Tianjian weakly: "Thank you, General, ......"
Xiao Tianjian patted him on the shoulder again before he stood up, but at the moment when he stood up, suddenly an idea moved in his mind, and he turned to Li Zicheng and said, "Break general!" If these brothers are treated in time, they may not be able to be saved! There are still some doctors in the lower camp, if Li Chuang does not dislike it, he is willing to accept some of the wounded and go to our camp for treatment, it just so happens that our department has suffered a lot of losses today, if we can save a batch, I don't know if I can give these people to the foolish brother? ”
Li Zicheng looked at the wounded all over the place in a blink of an eye, although Xiao Tianjian did this, a bit of digging the wall, but in his opinion, these people are actually similar to the dead, the reason why they snatched them back and put them here to wait for death is actually because they are afraid that their stay in the army will affect the morale of other generals even more, and it can also be regarded as a good reputation for himself who loves soldiers, and now Xiao Tianjian wants to accept this batch of wounded, of course he will not be unhappy, after all, he also saw it today, and the loss of the Xingtian Army is not small, And he really helped them, if this requirement didn't meet Xiao Tianjian, then it would be difficult for him to let Xiao Tianjian help him like this in the future!
So Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!" It's not that I don't save these brothers, but that there are only a few foolish brothers in the army right now, and they lack medicinal materials, and they can't afford to have a heart! Brother Xiao is kind-hearted, if Brother Xiao doesn't dislike it, then just bring someone over and bring them to your camp for treatment! It's best to be able to save them back, count them as a blessing, and presumably they will also be grateful Brother Xiao for your life-saving grace to them, as long as they are willing, they will stay in your army after they recover from their injuries! ”
Xiao Tianjian clenched his fists and said: "Then I will thank the general on behalf of these brothers!" Tietou, you quickly return to the camp, bring a group of our medical soldiers, and bring some more soldiers over to carry the wounded brothers here back to our medical camp for quick treatment! ”
Tie Tou froze for a moment, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Tianjian was asking for trouble, they had injured a lot of brothers today, if they got back so many wounded soldiers, I am afraid it would be enough for them to be busy! Moreover, taking care of these wounded people, not to mention taking up a lot of manpower, and taking care of their food and drink, is simply thankless, so I froze for a while and did not leave immediately.
"Go! Will I not listen to my words? Xiao Tianjian glared at him and shouted at the iron head.
Tietou had no choice but to nod and hug his fists at Li Zicheng, and immediately turned around and left here quickly, arranging people according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions.
The reason why Xiao Tianjian did this, firstly, is not because he is stupid, and secondly, not because he sincerely wants to help Li Zicheng, so he will not do anything to lose money, the reason why he wants this batch of wounded is actually very simple, the generals who have seen blood in battle, and the soldiers who have never seen blood in battle are not of the same grade at all, especially the soldiers who have been wounded in battle, often when they go into battle in the future, they will be more fierce, as long as they are slightly adjusted, after these wounded people recover, they can quickly become soldiers, and he is not a wounded man. He will only choose those who are wounded in front of the body to be contained, and he will only receive the lightly wounded, these people are all wounded in the face of the enemy during the charge, rather than let these people lie here and wait for death, in vain, it is better to reach out and pull them and take them under his own command.
"Brother Xiao, why did you come here now? Is there something important to discuss with the foolish brother? Li Zicheng saw that Xiao Tianjian would definitely have something to do when he came here to find him, so he pulled Xiao Tianjian out of the stinky medical camp and asked Xiao Tianjian.
"That's right, I just received a report from Xia, and He Renlong has already led his troops to rush back here! I'll be here tomorrow morning at the latest, so I don't dare to slack off, come and inform the general to prepare in advance!" Xiao Tianjian said to Li Zicheng with a fist.
After Li Zicheng heard this, his brows suddenly tightened, his rich eyebrows raised on his forehead, the center of his eyebrows formed a Sichuan character, and the muscles in his body seemed to be tense.
"Damn! This He Renlong came back so quickly! Why didn't King Gao Chuang hold him back? As long as we are given another two or three days, it is estimated that it should not be a problem to lay down Longzhou City! Li Zicheng said indignantly.
"I'm afraid I can't blame King Gao Chuang for this matter, it is estimated that He Renlong has been prepared, and after leaving Longzhou, he did not rush to Baoji County with all his might, so King Gao Chuang did not fight him, so he couldn't hold him back! He Renlong must have gotten the news of our sneak attack on Longzhou, so he immediately rushed back, planning is in the people, and the general doesn't have to be in such a hurry! At the moment, we still have to think that once He Renlong returns here, I am afraid that he will immediately attack us, and we have to guard against it! Xiao Tianjian comforted Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng also realized that it was a little inappropriate as soon as he said just now, after all, he and Gao Yingxiang were nephews and uncles, and he was also nominally Gao Yingxiang's subordinate, but Xiao Tianjian was an outsider, and it was definitely inappropriate to blame Gao Yingxiang in front of Xiao Tianjian, so he no longer complained that Gao Yingxiang failed to entangle He Renlong and provide him with more time to conquer Longzhou City.
"Brother Xiao is right, I really don't know about this matter yet, or Brother Xiao's probe is more powerful, and he found out about He Renlong's actions so early! Thank you, Brother Shaw!
But Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry, there are only 3,000 soldiers under He Renlong's command, but we have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, so we don't have to be afraid of him at all! If he leads the division back tomorrow, let's avoid their front for the time being, don't fight with them, and let them enter the city, I will send someone Pegasus to pass the book to King Chuang, and ask him to come here quickly, as long as King Chuang leads the army to arrive, this He Renlong will naturally become a turtle in the urn, and Longzhou City may not be broken! Li Zicheng is not too worried about He Renlong's imminent return, after all, He Renlong first led the army to Baoji to help, and then hurried back, a few days later, even if his generals are more elite, it is estimated that they have become a tired army, so they are not too worried about losing to He Renlong.
Xiao Tianjian also thought of this, nodded yes, and discussed tomorrow's actions with Li Zicheng, and while speaking, Tietou led a group of people from the camp of the Xingtian Army.
