Section 111 Barracks Trivia

After three battles, the Tang army killed more than 1,000 Tibetans, and most of the soldiers left human lives on their hands and gained more or less "experience". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, Feng Xiaobao and his ilk feel that after three kills, their bow and arrow movement skills have greatly improved, and they have "smoothed their hands" a lot, and in Tang Tian's words, they are used to it!

"If you keep getting used to it, you'll improve!" Tang Tian said mysteriously.

Farming, leveling up?

Feng Xiaobao couldn't help but think so, but when he arrived at the wounded barracks, he knew that this was a big mistake.

The Tang Army lost dozens of people in battle, and the number of wounded was also the same!

Let them train in peacetime and be well equipped, the war will inevitably kill and wound, and the dead will be washed and brought back with ashes at the cost of fuel!

It is easy to identify them, the army has implemented the "dog tag", each person has two military tags around his neck, engraved the name and military number, and everyone has set a military number, such as Feng Xiaobao is 1, Cheng Boxi is 2, Yang Chengxian is 3, they use Arabic numerals to count.

The wounded were slashed with knives, arrows, fallen horses, trampled by horses, and some were in altitude sickness, screaming loudly and mourning in small voices.

It's not a game, they're living people!

At that time, the battlefield medical ability was extremely poor, even if Feng Xiaobao did his best to invite more doctors than ordinary legions and use more medicinal materials, but many battlefield injuries were beyond their reach.

But no one knew that the mortality rate of the wounded in this unit had fallen by at least half compared to that of other troops.

Although Feng Xiaobao did not have epoch-making medical inventions and creations, he was ahead of others in one thing, he knew the concept of "infection", so his field hospital was relatively clean, whether it was the environment, the body of the wounded, and the wounds were cleaned as much as possible. Soap disinfection (soap destroys the lipid envelope of viruses and bacteria, causing them to die, obtaining a disinfectant effect) is also widely used, and cleanliness leads to a reduction in infection.

Many people's wounds are infected by touching unclean hands or objects, and the hands of medical staff are disinfected with water and soap before touching the wounds of the wounded to minimize contact with infection.

This is a stern military order issued by Feng Xiaobao, which is effective for the treatment of the wounded.

Although there is no disinfectant, no iodine wine and no red potion for traumatic wounds, Feng Xiaobao has his own methods, and in his army, tea is widely used to clean wounds, and there is a reason in it: tea has the effect of astringency and disinfection, and a large amount of tea washes the wound to reduce wound pollution and help wound healing.

In addition, the use of salt water to clean the wound, soap also comes in handy, both are good ways to clean the wound.

Feng Xiaobao's field hospital has far more wound treatment methods than other hospitals, and also uses all kinds of Jinchuang drugs on the market, and the cloth strips used for bandaging are also sterilized at high temperatures, dried in the sun, and then bandaged with spices, which have a certain antibacterial effect to ensure that the cloth strips are clean.

After the war was tense, the cloth strips could not be supplied, and when they were reused, they must be boiled and sterilized.

The food supply for the wounded and sick is the second (the first is of course Feng Xiaobao's ration), which has more nutrients and helps them heal faster.

The soldiers didn't know what the above meant in the field hospital of Feng Xiaobao's barracks, and gradually became accustomed to it, until they went through other military camps, they didn't know what hell on earth was, and the wards of this unit were heaven!

……

Feng Xiaobao personally saw the wounded and encouraged them to recuperate.

When I came out of the wounded barracks, I was in a relatively good mood, because the logistics officer reported that he had harvested a large number of livestock from this battle, and although he had killed, burned and ran away, he had also obtained more than 5,000 sheep, more than 300 yaks, and 300 good horses.

Together with the previous small harvest, there are a lot of cattle and sheep, leaving enough replenishment to eat a mutton feast tonight.

Clean the battlefield and get some gold, silver and bronze ornaments, which are generally low in content and poor in handwork, which is better than nothing.

The bows, arrows, and knives used by the tribe were not valued by the Tang army at all, and they were all thrown aside.

The most precious possession of the tribe is livestock, and it is more difficult to get hard currency from them, unless they come from the tribes from the areas where the gold sand is produced, and even so, their processing ability is quite poor, for example, the so-called "Tibetan silver" is 30% silver and 70% copper, and the silver content is low, so it can be used as a valuable copper coin, and it is a lot of heavy "copper coins" with it, which is to think that they will not die fast enough.

The Zhichong Mansion of Songyang County used ten full-fledged soldiers and thirty Tang family servants, led by one of Feng Xiaobao's Arhat officers and three veteran officers, to drive surplus cattle, sheep, horses, and transport captured and seriously wounded back to the nearest Shanzhou, where they settled the wounded and sold livestock.

They also had an important task of setting up a left-behind office in Zhichong Prefecture to receive the exchange of personnel and materials from their own army, inquire about information, and receive orders from their superiors.

To dispatch three veteran officers, two of whom are masters of military training, have lost hundreds of people in a few battles, plus the wounded have been reduced, and it is necessary to recruit new soldiers and train more soldiers.

Feng Xiaobao said in a low voice: "There is no radio!" ”

In this era of mobile and horse-based (horses are good) and communication by roaring, once the troops go out, it is difficult to get backup.

Sometimes fighting a war can create a real sense of powerlessness.

Watching them gradually leave, Yang Chengxian pondered: "It seems that the nomads you meet are all very easy to fight, why did our army suffer a defeat in Feichuan?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Cheng Boxi read the battle report and said: "There are more than 400,000 people, and our army is more than 100,000. ”

"That's right!" Feng Xiaobao analyzed: "They have a favorable location, they are accustomed to the terrain and climate here, the time, the location and the people!" ”

"Again, supply lines, and, altitude sickness!" Feng Xiaobao counted the advantages of the other party one by one, and it was really against the sky that the Tang army could win this battle.

What I didn't say was that the generals of the Tang Army were not in harmony, there were already many enemy troops, and the insiders were still not united, which was really a prelude to death.

The defeat of the Tang Dynasty Dafeichuan, the first defeat in the discord of the generals, the Tang army's chief general Xue Rengui ordered the right guard general Guo Zhifeng to stay in Dafeichuan, and guard the Tang army's military rations.

General Guo actually took all the baggage and military rations and set off with the forward troops... Pour, Qinghai Tibet, where is the road?

It's hard to travel lightly, not to mention the baggage?

In addition, the main general of the Tubo people, Geer Qinling, known as the first general in the history of Tubo, was regarded as the god of war by the Tubo people.

The Tubo people defeated the Tang army's baggage, and then gathered to focus on attacking Xue Rengui, almost 400,000 to fight the Tang army of 80,000, not four to one but five to one, coupled with the unfavorable terrain and unstable military morale, the Tang soldiers were defeated, and the casualties were slightly exhausted. Defeated in that place, you can't even run!

……

"So!" Feng Xiaobao said thoughtfully: "Anyone who doesn't listen to the order will be eliminated if he can, and those who can't be removed will be sent out of the country, otherwise he would rather not fight!" ”

"Moreover, our army has won three battles in a row, there are good and bad aspects, the good side is that the morale has come up and the level has improved, and the bad thing is that people are also proud, and they think that they are amazing, and they are amazing!"

Feng Xiaobao spat on the ground and said: "The army must be sober, we will never underestimate the enemy, even if the enemy is a chicken, we must kill the chicken with a knife!" ”

"Our capital is small, and it is not easy to train soldiers, so we must follow the tactics of Zuo Xiang (Jiang Ke) 'rush up and release arrows, the enemy will run, and the enemy will fight if there are few!' We want to convey the spirit of this instruction to our troops! ”

Feng Xiaobao said that it soon became clear how his officers "conveyed" the spirit of his so-called instructions.
