Chapter 45: Kill

Although the horse thieves were defeated, the battle was far from over, because outside the sack wall, there were many horse thieves screaming, these horse thieves must be slaughtered, even if Yun Mo wanted to take them for his own use, because he could not heal these injured horse thieves.

There are only two doctors in Yun Mo's army, one of them is still a veterinarian, and their medical skills are not good, ordinary sword wounds, under alcohol and sutures, they can still deal with them, and advanced surgeries like taking shrapnel should not be mentioned.

Medical care reflects the degree of civilization of a country, and Yun Mo also attaches great importance to medical treatment, but at this time in the Western Regions, there are really no medical talents, Yun Mo asked Yingzi to lead Mei Lan Zhuju to copy out the "Compendium of Materia Medica" as a last resort.

More than 50 half-grown children who have completed the "Thousand Character Text" and the "Three Character Classic" have been selected to study this medical masterpiece, and Zhang Ying is their teacher.

Yun Mo also probably read the copied "Compendium of Materia Medica", although the content of this book is large, but it is not difficult to learn, because this book explains the role of various medicinal materials very clearly, and there are now prescriptions for how to treat that disease.

As long as you are willing to work hard and memorize, you can complete the "Compendium of Talents" in two or three years, and as for how long these Han children in the Western Regions will take, it only depends on their talents.

For this expedition, Yun Mo also prepared two kinds of holy medicines for the treatment of external injuries, that is, alcohol and white medicine, these alcohols are distilled with fruit wine from the Western Regions, so the amount is not large, the entire Qingxiang Valley is only more than 100 catties, this expedition, Yun Mo only carried 20 catties of alcohol.

Baiyao is Yunmo according to the recipe on Baidu Encyclopedia, there is no shortage of medicinal materials in the Western Regions, and it is not difficult to prepare the seven-flavor medicine of Yunnan Baiyao.

(Yunnan Baiyao Formula: Sanyu Herb 85mg, Bitter Ginger 30mg, Old Stork Grass 36mg, White Ox Gall 25mg, Panshanlong 57.5mg, Huai Yam 66.5mg, Tianqi 200mg, Total Ingredients: 500mg)

Yun Mo stood on the carriage, looked at the horse thieves who had fled away with his scope, and immediately ordered the recruits who were still stunned:

"The first row of crossbowmen, immediately go out over the wall to mend the knife, and all the horse thieves and wounded soldiers will be killed."

It's not that Yun Mo is cruel, these horse thieves who were injured by shrapnel really can't be saved, since they can't be saved, what are they doing outside the earthen wall, this affects the morale of the army too much.

After receiving Yun Mo's order, the recruits of the first platoon immediately pulled out their waist knives and climbed out of the not very high earthen wall to make up for the knives.

"What are you guys doing in a daze, don't you see that many of your brothers are hurt? Hurry up and carry them to the medic station. ”

There were a lot of casualties this time, the horse thieves only fired five rounds of rockets on the way to the raid, and more than 200 people were injured on Yun Mo's side, and 70 or 80 people were killed.

Leather armor is very lightweight, but the protection is seriously insufficient! The ghost weather here in the Western Regions is not suitable for fighting in iron armor, but it makes Yun Mo embarrassed to death.

"Clean up the battlefield and be vigilant."

Now the steel output of Qingxiang Valley has reached 500 catties, which is a very remarkable achievement for a tribe of only more than 2,000 people.

If Yun Mo wanted to equip all his soldiers with iron armor, it was completely fine, and how to let the soldiers wearing iron armor fight in such a cruel environment was a big problem to be solved first.

At this time, there happened to be a disabled veteran walking by the carriage where Yun Mo was standing, these disabled veterans had fought in the Western Regions for decades, they should be experienced, it is better to ask them what they used to do:

"Lao Qin, sit down and take a breath, I have something to ask."

"The leader is serious, and his subordinates must know everything."

Yun Mo jumped out of the carriage, sat down at the side of the carriage, and then asked sincerely:

"Old gentleman, this ghost place in the Western Regions will roast people when it's hot, and it can freeze people into popsicles when it's cold, it's almost impossible to fight in iron armor in such extreme weather, so how did the Tang Anxi Army solve it?"

"It's easy! If it is a summer battle, only a white coat is worn when marching, and iron armor and supplies are carried by war horses, and armor is worn when it is necessary to fight. ”

"If the enemy's cavalry suddenly attacks, isn't it too late?"

"You can send the sentinel farther away! For example, if it is more than ten miles, as long as the sentry detects a large force of the enemy, it will immediately set off fireworks. ”

"Fireworks, is it wolf smoke?"

"No, it's what everyone calls a cupola."

The cupola is a kind of firecracker, this thing is not unusual, and the Han people will buy it and put it on major festivals.

This cupola is a good thing, the effect is definitely no worse than the earth-shaking thunder, as long as it is big enough, it is the original rocket artillery!

"Bring me my flask, sir, and take a sip before you speak."

Yun Mo's wine is not the sour fruit wine of the Western Regions, but a high-grade liquor distilled from the fruit wine. To extract high-grade liquor from fruit wine, it needs to be distilled twice in a row, about 50 degrees, while alcohol needs to be distilled three times in a row.

Lao Qin was not polite, he took the wine gourd handed by the guard, raised his neck and took a big sip, and then said with a sigh:

"Good wine, this wine is strong enough, the fruit wine made by the barbarians of the Western Regions is similar to horse urine."

Lao Qin didn't know that this liquor was distilled from fruit wine, in fact, the taste of fruit wine was good, but drinking that kind of sour beer for a long time was a bit unappetizing.

"Then this pot of wine will be given to you."

"Thank you for the reward, let a few old brothers come and taste it later."

"Old Qin! Did you ever make cupolas? ”

"Of course! In such a vast place as the Western Regions, it is indispensable to use a cupola cannon to inform the enemy of the situation at the same time. ”

Yun Moke was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help asking:

"Then why didn't I see that you didn't have anything like this in your warehouse?"

"I'm done with it."

"Then is there anyone who can make such a thing as a cupola?"

Lao Qin raised his neck and poured another sip of strong wine, and then said with satisfaction:

"That's what my ancestors did."

Yun Mo immediately became interested, and his face smiled like a flower:

"Then will you make a cupola?"

"Ancestral craftsmanship, how can you forget?"

"Can you make a big cupola cannon that can send the earth-shattering thunder into the sky?"

"I think it can! It's just that this cupola needs to be made very big, and it is only known how big it is. ”

This is shocking good news, with this large cupola, you don't need to make contact with the enemy at all, you can blow up the enemy.

Yun Mo's recruits are equipped with Shenwei crossbows, bed crossbows, and vehicle-mounted catapults. However, the range of these weapons does not exceed 400 meters.

The distance of four hundred meters is not a distance at all for the cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu people will rush to you to play with the white knife and the red knife out of hand-to-hand combat.

There are few Han people in the Western Regions, and their martial arts skills are not as good as others, and there is no way to compare with fierceness, so Yun Mo has been pursuing a slightly farther strike weapon in Yizhong.
