Chapter 53: The Aftermath
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east, the glow is ten thousand ways, Shaoling City is bathed in the morning light, the city has been replaced with a new flag, hunting and hunting under the blowing of the spring breeze, at the same time, the sound of coughing is also one after another.
On the second day after the battle, in a heavily guarded camp west of Shaoling, many prisoners were lying in tents coughing, and in each tent there were several doctors dressed in strange white robes, white masks, and white hats examining the patients.
Coughing up blood, blood in the stool, and diarrhea are symptoms of tuberculosis and dysentery, and they are very contagious, and even doctors can be infected if they are not careful.
However, these doctors in white robes are in direct contact with patients, taking body temperature, listening to chests, looking at the mouth, and looking at **, and take students to gamble with their lives to conduct an extremely rare "on-site practice".
and drug trials.
"What are you going to do! What are you going to feed him? ”
A soldier shouted, pounced on the patient, trying to stop the doctor from filling the medicine, the soldier was also a prisoner, volunteering to take care of the captured sick comrades, and could not help but be anxious at the sight of the bowl of fishy black water in the doctor's hand.
He was wearing a mask and had a northernal accent, so what he said sounded a little vague, and most of the doctors and students were from Jingxiang, Shannan, and they couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but they could guess one or two, so they explained.
However, the other party didn't listen, desperately protecting his comrades, the doctor snorted coldly when he saw this, and said loudly: "He is terminally ill, and he will definitely die if he goes on like this, and after drinking my bowl of medicine, there is still a chance to survive in ten out of ten!" ”
"Nonsense! How can the medicine be so fishy, this is clearly fecal water! ”
"Ridiculous! This is 'Huanglong Soup', derived from "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", which can cure evil diseases, you don't know what to do! ”
The soldier looked at the doctor with angry eyes, looked at his dying comrade, hesitated for a moment, and then moved out of the way, the reason why he wanted to stay here was that he hoped that his companion would escape death.
Seeing that the other party was convinced, the doctor hurriedly signaled the students to come forward and feed the medicine, the students learned a lot of 'theories' in Huangzhou on weekdays, but they did not have the opportunity to actually contact people suffering from malignant diseases.
At the entrance of the tent, a student listened to the doctor's instructions, looked at the pocket watch in his hand to write down the time, and from the time after the medicine was given, they had to take the patient's temperature every hour (half an hour), observe the patient's condition and record it.
It's a rare internship opportunity, but it's also very risky, so the doctors and students who dare to enter the camp have long put their lives on the line, as well as the prisoners who volunteered to go into the camp to care for their comrades.
There was no one who took the opportunity to escape, because if he entered this camp, there was a high probability that he would be infected with the epidemic, and no captive would dare to take such a risk.
The Shannan army broke through the Shaoling camp last night, and instead of killing all the sick soldiers and beheading them, they took them in the camp as much as possible, and allowed the soldiers who were willing to take care of the sick among the captives to enter the camp.
These people are also good 'objects to observe' for doctors and their students.
The process of a healthy person being infected by a patient is really worth observing and recording!
Of course, no one was going to poison these soldiers who cared for their comrades, they were mainly short of manpower, after all, it would take a lot of 'escorts' to take care of so many patients at all times, and it was impossible for their own soldiers to take such a huge risk.
The captives who accompanied them also had thorough protective measures, food and drinking water were clean, and if they could survive safely, it would mean one thing: these soldiers were indeed healthy.
Sacrificing one's life to take care of one's companions who are suffering from a vicious illness is affectionate and righteous; I drank the polluted river water before, but it was fine, which means that the body is very healthy.
Such a captive is an excellent seed of elite soldiers!
。。。。。。
Outside the south gate of Shaoling City, the military officials were counting the heads, and the trolleys were lined up in a long line, the carts were full of bloody heads, and the soldiers guarding the cars were guarding the heads of their cars like female dogs.
In ancient times, the battles were all based on the first rank, and the soldiers of each car guarded the merits of the department, and the lack of a head was like a piece of meat on the body, and they couldn't help but not be nervous.
At the end of the convoy, there were mountains of heads in the open space, and the heads of dead people with various expressions were piled together, which was terrifying and bloody, looking at this familiar scene and smelling the familiar smell, Xiyang Wang Yuwen's face did not change.
Once he succeeds, he would rather march on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood than become a corpse on the way to the top.
The Yin World Master, who is also Gong Cao, is supervising the military officials to count the heads, and it is the first time he has seen such a bloody scene, his stomach is a little uncomfortable, but he can barely hold on, and his self-esteem also makes him unable to have stage fright.
Since ancient times, the head has been recorded, but there are also good and risky merits, so the military officials who count the number must distinguish the "true and false" of the head, and the women's heads will definitely not be counted in the total - in fact, the heads here are all male heads.
The enemy army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, including a large number of soldiers and civilians, and their own soldiers fought bloodily last night, killing people when they see them, and they have tried not to kill prisoners as much as possible, but they still have so many heads, which are not soldiers and which are people.
As long as it is a man's head, it will be counted in the total number of heads, and there is no such thing as killing good and risking merit.
While supervising the counting, the Yin Shishi recalled the arrangement last night, because of the first rank, soldiers often fought for the first rank on the battlefield, which would lead to no one chasing the enemy soldiers, and finally the enemy soldiers counterattacked, so that they won first and then lost.
And he had the honor to watch the pre-war deployment of King Xiyang, and the other party's method of solving the first-level problem was worth learning from him.
What the Yin Shishi thought in his heart, of course Yuwen Wen didn't know, he didn't sleep all night, but he was in good spirits, because his side had just won a big battle, and the enemy army that had turned into a sick cat was defeated.
Although bullying patients is a bit 'invincible', it is still a great victory.
In last night's battle, more than 10,000 of their own beheadings were killed, and this was only the head of the enemy killed on the spot, and there were corpses everywhere in the wilderness, and if their heads were also included in the statistics, I am afraid that the number would increase dramatically.
Not to mention the floating corpses in the river, their heads are not counted.
The enemy army camped in Shaoling City and nearby areas, the camp stretched for more than ten miles, and the Lekou at the confluence of Rushui and Lishui was also included in its camp, last night a big battle, countless enemy soldiers drowned in the river, and the number of floating corpses actually blocked the Rushui and Lishui rivers.
The scene was terrifying, Rushui and Lishui were like the legendary Nai River in the underworld, and the river was full of corpses.
Yu Wenwen walked around Rentou Mountain, and then came to the north of Shaoling City, where the river was already full of corpses salvaged from Lishui, and the salvage work was only halfway through.
The lower reaches of Rushui and Lishui have been stopped by soldiers sent by Yuwenwen on a series of bamboo rafts to prevent the floating corpses from drifting farther downstream and causing a large-scale epidemic.
Not to mention elsewhere, after the Rushui passes through Shaoling, it flows south through the Hanging Gourd, if it is not handled properly, the Hanging Gourd will bear the brunt of the outbreak of the epidemic, and then everything will be over.
The river has the ability to purify itself, but once the amount of pollutants exceeds the amount that the river can hold, the downstream section of the river will inevitably be polluted, Yuwenwen made a good deployment before the war, and sent people to collect the corpses, retrieve the corpses, and burn the corpses as soon as the battle is over, and also let people put a large amount of quicklime in the river to reduce the possibility of large-scale epidemic outbreaks as much as possible.
In the era when there were no antibiotics, once an outbreak of epidemic or plague was not a joke, Yu Wenwen polluted the river water with a large amount of feces in order to break the enemy, he did not want to cause a larger-scale plague, and he had to hurry up to deal with the aftermath.
In the battle last night, more than 100,000 troops were wiped out, and Yuwenwen's name may be famous all over the world, but if it causes a large-scale epidemic subsequently, a large number of people will be ruined, and the death toll will be in the hundreds of thousands, and his reputation will be stinky at that time.
Yuwen Wen has become Yuwen "plague"? How can that work!
Yuwen Wen was thinking about it, and a number of horsemen came out of the city and approached the river where he was, seemingly a messenger delivering news, but for some reason they entered the city and went out of the city to find him.
The generals on the side were quite happy when they saw this: "King, is there any good news?" ”
