Chapter 786: Summing Up and Fighting Again
The remnant sun was like blood, reflecting half of the sky red, and the afterglow shone on the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder remained and corpses covered the land, and the air was filled with the silence of the post-war period.
The cold wind was bleak, and on the blood-soaked earth, the burned half of the flags floated alone, and the dying soldiers in the pile of corpses let out a desolate low sound.
At the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, after a day of bloody fighting, the blood of both sides flowed like a river, the Wei soldiers destroyed more than the earth wall, occupied the earth wall several times, but after all, the offensive was blocked, failed to achieve a breakthrough, the two sides repeatedly saw on the front, increasing the number of troops, and the trench under the earth wall was almost filled with corpses.
As night fell, there were many Qing army figures shaking on the earthen wall, as if they were cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the corpses.
Below, the Wei soldiers also quietly touched over, first found the wounded and carried them away, and then dragged the body back.
A few miles behind the battle line, the Wei camp was lit with torches, white curtains enclosed patches of areas, and the tents were stained with blood.
Gao Yihuan wore armor, held the hilt of his sword, and came to the camp of the wounded surrounded by all the generals.
At this time, the heavy man was standing in an area surrounded by a white cloth, and inside was a long bunk set up, which was full of wounded soldiers, and the blood was falling down the bed board drop by drop, and the picture was shocking.
Although the Wei army had medical soldiers with the army very early, the conditions were there, and it was only to improve some common sense things.
Gao Yihuan didn't know much about this, but he knew that he had to be disinfected, and if there was a bacterial infection, nothing else would help much.
He once asked the missionaries who came to the Western Wei Dynasty to see if there was any advanced experience in the West that could be introduced, but in fact, the West had just come out of the darkness of the Middle Ages, and the medical level was still stuck in bloodletting, and King Charles II and Washington both died of bloodletting.
Of course, Gao Yihuan also learned that because of frequent wars, about a few decades ago, there were medical soldiers and specialized institutions similar to those of the Western Wei Kingdom in Spain, but overall, it was still very backward.
Gao Yihuan asked the missionary to translate some, he thought it was more useful, such as anatomy and other books, and told Wu Youxing, and then he didn't care much about the medical officer.
Now in the past few years, the Wei army's medical soldiers have begun to take shape, Gao Yihuan's infection, bacteria, just like Wu Youxing's foreign evil, there are similarities, Wei army medical soldiers are still insufficient in other aspects, but in the prevention of infection, it has a certain effect.
Today, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties in the First World War, and as soon as the wounded were brought over, more than 30 medical officers who accompanied the army immediately began to treat them, and they were already able to perform suturing wounds, amputating limbs and other surgeries.
"What about Doctor Wu? Why didn't you see me? Zhao Daxian said loudly.
A medical soldier ran over, first saluted Gao Yihuan, and then explained: "Mr. is treating the soldiers, and he can't get out of his body for a while!" ”
Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Let Doctor Wu be busy, it's important to save people!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the wounded who were full of wounded, looked at the busy doctors, and asked, "What is still missing here, you can mention it to the lonely king!" ”
Without thinking, the medic said, "King, we are short of hemp and alcohol!" ”
Gao Yihuan governs a big country, and there are many things that cannot be studied by himself for several months.
He wanted something, but he didn't have time to get it, so he thought of a simple solution, which was to throw money at it.
Alcohol is a thing that he proposed, promised a reward, and then encouraged the people to improve the distillation method, and whoever can make it can get a large reward.
Wei Jun has been drinking alcohol for more than a year, and although the concentration is not particularly high, he has rescued many Wei soldiers.
The main purpose of the Wei army's medical staff is to prevent the wounded from being infected, if they are not prevented and the soldiers are infected, then the medical officer has nothing to do, it all depends on whether the wounded can survive themselves.
Gao Yihuan heard the words and turned his head, "Happy Hao, you immediately transfer another batch of hemp boiling powder and alcohol!" The Lone King wants to save more soldiers! ”
The tall king was impassioned, but in the seriously wounded area, no one responded, only the doctors and soldiers who accompanied him, and the generals behind him praised the king for his kindness.
Xinghao's mouth moved, wanting to say something, but he still swallowed it back, saluted and hugged his fists and said, "No!" ”
At that moment, Gao Yihuan and his entourage went out of the area of the seriously wounded, most of the wounded here were unconscious, and King Gao came, they didn't know, and it couldn't boost morale, so Gao Yihuan and his party turned a corner, and went to the area where the lightly wounded were resting, and cordially condoled the wounded soldiers, which caused a lot of jubilation in the camp.
Gao Yihuan inspected the camp of the wounded soldiers, returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and discussed the attack with the generals.
Everyone gathered around the sand table, and Li Dingguo said: "King, today we have more than 2,000 casualties and consumed 3,000 catties of gunpowder. ”
The total Wei army in the east of the expedition to Hedong was only 100,000 people, and the damage was thirty percent, so it had to rest. However, the casualties of the Qing army may be greater, and if they really fight for attrition, Azig will definitely not be able to withstand it first.
Although Gao Yihuan was sure that the Wei army would most likely be able to defeat the Qing army, the loss was too great.
He was silent for a while, looked at Wang Yongqiang and Gao Yigong and said, "The two generals attacked today, and they can find out what can be improved!" ”
Wang Yong stressed an arm, his men and horses have been disabled, and after participating in the meeting, he will have to be transferred back to the West Bank tomorrow to repair and replenish.
He hurriedly said: "King, after the minister attacked the earthen wall, he found that the green battalion soldiers and clothed soldiers of the Qing army, the equipment and equipment were not as good as ours, only the flag soldiers were still excellent, after our army rushed to the wall, at first it was standing with an advantage, but then the earthen wall was followed by a group of Mongolian melon skins, and the turtles and grandchildren were accurate in archery thieves, and the king greeted the door, so that the brothers were distracted, and they were driven off the earthen wall!" ”
In addition to the Ding battalion, the Wei army had no armor, and the A, B, and C had armor, and the melee killer team wore cotton armor, an iron helmet, and a neck guard made of cotton armor.
Li Dingguo said: "This can be solved with an iron-cast ghost face, and it is best to match the legs and arms of the top soldiers." ”
"Okay, urge the Ministry of Industry to make a batch out!" Gao Yihuan nodded, and looked at Gao Yigong again.
Gao Yigong pointed to the sand table and said: "When the minister attacked the wall, the biggest casualty was here. He pointed to an area between the Wei army's trench and the earthen wall, and continued: "After the soldiers jumped up, they were constantly shot by the fire guns and bows and arrows on the wall, and there were earth-shattering thunderbolts falling on their heads, and the casualties were very large. The minister suggested that the trench should be dug forward, a deep trench in front of the earthen wall. In this way, after the first batch of men and horses climb the earthen wall, the follow-up soldiers and horses can carry the shield and advance directly from the trench to the earthen wall, as long as the first batch of soldiers on the wall hold a few earthen walls, or use Hongyi cannons to make a few gaps, the follow-up soldiers will continue to reinforce and not be blocked by the Qing army that reacts! ”
Gao Yihuan frequently bowed his head, "General Gao's advice can be adopted!" ”
At this time, Gao Yihuan glanced at the generals again, and then waved his fist to encourage, "In this battle, no matter what, it must be my Great Wei who wins, and Azig can't fight us at all!" If you have any suggestions, please tell them, and the Lone King will take them all together, and then continue to attack! Let the Qing army see the iron will of my Great Wei! ”
……
In the tent of the Qing army commander, Azig was also discussing with the generals.
Although the Qing army repelled the Wei army today, as the defending side, the Qing army suffered more casualties than the Wei army, which made Azig not happy.
At this time, he said with a gloomy face: "Bolehe, you go back to Beijing and tell the regent that within a month, this king must see reinforcements, otherwise this king does not dare to guarantee that he can block the Wei army......"
