Chapter 91: Casualties

"Bah...... Bang...... "......The sound of cannons continued to sound on the sea, and the Fu boat where Yang Renyu was located splashed huge splashes from time to time, and even splashed the people on the boat from time to time.

At this time, all the soldiers on the ship were finally wearing armor and shields, and Yang Renyu felt a little relieved.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, Yang Renyu had never seen the shelling, only knew that the officers and soldiers were struggling to reload and fire, he thought that the artillery was all iron bullets, and it was only damaged if it was shot, so he did not remind his soldiers to hide in the warehouse and defend with shields.

How do you know that the officers and soldiers fired a scatter bomb this time, and the iron pellet weighing about a few cents was a large piece of a dozen pieces, only to see a flash of fire, and then heard the sound of a burst of beans, and suddenly a scream was heard on both of their own ships.

Yang Renyu was frightened at that time, he was the first time he saw his own casualties since the young master took them out of Maoshan Chong, so that he was stunned for a short time, and it took about ten seconds before he reacted, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Defend with a shield and rescue the wounded." ”

Most of the casualties this time were crew members, who needed to steer the sails, and they were already on the deck, and they were unprotected, so they naturally fell for it. Only two of our unlucky slaves were shot, both of them were on the front door, and they obviously couldn't survive.

Later, when his slaves reported the losses to him, he realized that he needed to protect the sailman, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to protect them with shields.

Soon after, the officers and men fired two more scattered rounds, and another crackling sound sounded, but only a few muffled grunts were heard on the ship, and it was obvious that the bullets did not cause fatal damage to their shield-wielding soldiers.

Yang Renyu felt very succumbed, and he couldn't fight back even after being beaten, he was so angry that he immediately ordered: "Give me an arrow to fight back." ”

If you don't have artillery, you can only shoot arrows to counterattack, and although it is night, you can't aim and shoot, but if you use an area strike, you can also cause casualties to officers and soldiers.

After a few blows, their officers calmed down from their panic, and they ordered their slaves to protect themselves with shields in front of them, and to shoot with their bows in their arms. The slaves had not practiced archery, so bows and arrows were not distributed, and a total of 47 officers above the rank of native soldiers shot arrows to fight back.

Under the unified command of several commanders, these officers and above, all of whom had practiced shooting for more than half a year and were also aware of the theory of area strikes, threw fire at the officers and men who were pursuing the nearest 400-gauge warship, and the target was the artillery that was struggling to reload.

A dense bowstring sound sounded, and at this time, the officers and soldiers who were only more than 100 meters away from each other immediately became chaotic, and it was obvious that their bows and arrows had worked together.

The rate of fire of the bow and arrow was much faster, and in less than a minute, the soldiers poured five rounds of arrows at the ships of the officers and men. Five rounds of arrows are more than 200 arrows, gathered in a small area in front of the deck, the density is considerable, even if it is a surface kill, it is enough for the officers and soldiers to drink a pot, therefore, after the five rounds of arrows, the artillery in the bow of the largest warship of the officers and soldiers will run clean and slippery, leaving dead bodies everywhere.

With the effect, the soldiers naturally knew to make persistent efforts, under the unified command of Yang Yichao, they threw at the bow of the second warship, this time because it was a little farther away, the wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the shooting hit rate was not high, and only a few arrows were hit, and it may be that those commanders and commanders only shot.

Despite this, two casualties were inflicted on the officers and men who were struggling to reload the shells, and the officers and men were so dense that as long as the general direction was correct, it would be difficult to fall short.

Two screams frightened the officers and men, and before the officer's order was given, the artillerymen had already run away.

Before their soldiers could be happy, they received another scatter shot, but because their own defense was in place, there were no casualties.

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the soldiers already knew that it would take time to load the guns, so they boldly threw at the third ship, with the lesson of the previous time, and in addition to the fact that their own side was not in danger, this time the hit rate was very impressive, and the officers and soldiers screamed, and there were dead bodies on the ground.

The counterattack of his own soldiers gave the officers and men a painful lesson, it turned out that the smuggling ship in front of them also had the strength to fight back, and his own losses were even greater, and the general could not help but hesitate.

In addition, a few ships chased and fled like this, and they gradually moved away from the mainland and went to the open sea. The officers and men had two ships, which were small in size and had only 200 materials, and were in danger of capsizing because they were sailing at high speed in the open sea.

The officers and soldiers were not strong enough in the end, and in the end, the leader of the officers and soldiers reluctantly gave the order to stop the pursuit.

After the officers and soldiers stopped pursuing, the two sides went farther and farther, and at this time, Yang Renyu finally relieved his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't participate in the war, he was too nervous, and his body was already drenched in sweat, which was worse than a meat fight.

"Hurry up and rescue the wounded and assess the damage." Seeing that the officers and soldiers were no longer pursuing, Yang Renyu immediately ran off the deck of the ship and issued an order.

The treatment of the wounded is something that every soldier must learn, and everyone has a first-aid kit, but in fact, the slave soldiers who did not participate in the war have consciously rescued their own members.

In the cabin living room on the deck level, more than a dozen wounded people lined up on the ground, the wounded screamed continuously, and the slaves were calmly and quickly helping the wounded to stop bleeding, disinfect, take ammunition, stitches, bandage, etc.

To stop bleeding, the injured person's arm or lower limb is tied with a strap to tie the artery at its root to prevent the injured person from losing a lot of blood and dying, and then wipe the wound and its surroundings with a cotton wool dipped in alcohol, and then use a camera that has been disinfected in alcohol to stir the wound to find the projectile.

The injured person was in great pain during this process, and several people needed to help him press down on his limbs and bite the wounded with a wooden stick, so that the injured person was not allowed to move or break his tongue. You must see whether the blood gushing out of the wound is bright red, otherwise you have to use the camera to stir the projectile or iron filings and other dirt until the blood gushing out of the wound is bright red, and then disinfect again and prepare the stitches.

The stitches were also painful, but they were a little better than the projectiles, and the wounded could still resist gritting his teeth, so after the stitches were completed, he applied a layer of penicillin secretion to the wound, and finally bandaged it with gauze.

However, these can only treat ordinary injuries, and if the bone is injured, the wound site should be fixed with a wooden board to prevent the bone from not healing.

Yang Wenli is a reborn person, and of course he taught his subordinates this knowledge of rescue. It is not easy for his soldiers to be trained, and every death is a great loss, so he attaches great importance to battlefield ambulance education, which now seems to be very useful.

After the intense rescue of the slaves, the results of the damage to the last two ships came out, five of them were killed, twenty-two were wounded, of which only two slaves were hit and died, and the rest were sailors, mainly sailors. Of the 22 crew members rescued, it is not known how many will die or be permanently disabled.
