Chapter 435: No Choice
Qiu Youcai shook his head and said, "Third brother, eldest brother, I was injured too badly, it seems that my internal organs have been injured, and I don't think I will live long, so I can't take you to break through." It's all up to you. This time, you must listen to the words of the eldest brother, and when it is dark to break through, you must ignore the eldest brother and rush out by yourself! Millions, millions! ”
"Nope! I'm not going to let go of my big brother! ”
"Why are you disobedient, kid!" Qiu Youcai glared.
"Listen to everything else, but don't listen to this!"
"You! You bastard! I can't live, if you die, who will inherit our enemy's ancestry? ”
"No matter what you say, I won't leave you alone!"
"You! You dead baby, if you don't listen to Lao Tzu, I'll kill you! Qiu Youcai raised his left hand, which could still move, and made a gesture to fight.
Qiu Youshou moved back, still stiffening his mouth: "I won't listen to death!" ”
Qiu Youcai was so angry that he wanted to sit up and beat him, but as soon as his body moved, his body was in pain, so he could only lie down again, panting and saying: "Third brother, please, just beg you as a big brother!" You must leave incense for our enemies! ”
Qiu Youshou also cried, wiped his tears and said, "Big brother, if you hadn't saved me a few times before, I would have died many times ago." Don't say you're my eldest brother, it's someone I don't know, if you save my life, I can't watch you die! Otherwise, I'm still a human being! ”
"You! You stupid baby, this is different......"
Qiu Youshou saw that the ambulance soldier pulled an old man over, so he wiped his tears and said, "Okay, big brother, don't say it." Lang Zhong is here, hurry up and treat your injuries. ”
After Lao Langzhong squatted down to check Qiu Youcai, he said in a deep voice: "Your arm is already useless." Three broken ribs are not too important, and the most troublesome thing is that your internal injuries are very serious! The internal organs are trampled and ruptured, and whether they can be cured depends on whether they can stop the bleeding. With that, he took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box. Pull out the stopper, pour out a few pills for Qiu Youcai, and let him take it immediately.
Lao Lang handed the bottle to Qiu Youshou. He added: "If you take this medicine and don't die tomorrow, you will almost survive." ”
With that, the old man took out the splint. began to give Qiu Youcai bones.
Then. There was also a medical officer who looked like an old man riding back and forth and said loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, rest assured, don't panic, the soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, and they have killed a lot of Liao troops, and the Liao army will not kill us." So don't panic ......! ”
As he spoke, the soldiers around him began to move forward again, and the medical officer ordered the wounded to be evacuated. Follow the troops.
Gu Gua, a medical soldier, found a stretcher, and the two carried Qiu Youcai forward. After walking for a while, he stopped again. The shouts of killing kept coming from the distance outside, making these soldiers all have heavy expressions, not knowing what the future would be.
After the stretcher stopped, Lao Langzhong continued to tie Qiu Youcai's injured arm. Finally, the splint was applied, and then his broken ribs were also bandaged.
After dealing with Qiu Youcai's injury, Lao Langzhong treated Qiu Youshou's wound again.
Qiu Youshou's injuries were not light, there were several cuts alone, and some of them were already deep to the bones. There was also a horse's hoof stampede, and a broken rib. Qiu Youshou shed a lot of blood, and he felt a little weak in his body and his head was groggy.
After Lao Langzhong bandaged the two of them, he went to treat the other injured soldiers. The ambulance soldier Gu Gua said: "I'm going to be busy too, there are still many wounded soldiers who need treatment." You are here to guard your eldest brother, don't go, your injuries are not light, and if you go again, you can only die. ”
"Be careful!"
Gu Gua nodded gratefully, turned around and walked quickly.
The battle continues. The Song army has been moving towards the lower reaches of the river beach in a stop-and-go manner. The wounded soldiers were sent in a steady stream, and the wounded soldiers who were sent knew that the cavalry of the Liao army had been charging wave after wave, but the Yang generals had a degree of command, and the Song army also calmed down from the initial nervousness and panic, facing a strong enemy twice as large as their own, not seeking merit but no fault, and adopting a defensive battle and a counterattack war. The tightening of the troop force has not affected the combat effectiveness of the army too much. At least in the duel with the Liao army, there was no too much loss.
As time passed, it gradually got dark. The wounded Song army has numbered thousands! With the increase in attrition, the strength of the front line has become increasingly tight, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can be deployed to take care of the wounded. The old medical officer organized those soldiers who were relatively lightly injured and could still walk, and was responsible for carrying those seriously injured soldiers and moving with the army.
When it was almost dark, it started to rain!
This kind of freezing rain is far more torturous than real snow, it is wet on the body, and when the cold wind blows, the whole body is like an ice cave. The unwounded soldiers were relatively easy to handle, and those who were wounded were even more tormented.
Qiu Youshou's bandaged wound was already soaked by the rain, and the ice rain stimulated the hot pain of the wound, but he couldn't care about it so much, and the eldest brother's injury was even more important.
The eldest brother Qiu Youcai began to have a high fever, sometimes talking, sometimes falling asleep, which made Qiu Youshou even more worried.
When it was dark, the ambulance soldier Gu Gua found them, he looked very tired, and said with a wry smile: "This time we have suffered a lot of losses, just what I saw our Song army killed in battle, I am afraid that there are three or four thousand people!" In addition to the deaths in the battle in several other directions, we will have at least tens of thousands of people killed in today's battle. Alas! It's miserable! ”
"What about the Liao army?"
"The Liao army is no better, and I think the deaths on the battlefield are similar to ours. Our bows and crossbows are so powerful that most of them have been shot. Hey. ”
Qiu Youshou whispered worriedly: "What about the night? Will the Liao army still attack? ”
"I don't see it! Today, the Liao army is Wang Ba eats the scales, and they are iron-hearted, they want to take advantage of the large number of people and eat us in one fell swoop. However, our commanders are powerful, the Yang generals, Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang are all leading the way. I saw with my own eyes, Yang Jia Saburo, who had been hit by at least dozens of arrows on his body, and was still killing the enemy! ”
"Dozens of arrows? Then you have to die? ”
"You don't understand this, can the arrows of the Liao army be compared to our divine crossbows? Our crossbow can shoot through the strongest armor with a single arrow. The arrows of the Liao army, hehe, are far behind, not to mention the heaviest and toughest heavy armor of General Yang, which is the general iron armor of our ordinary soldiers, and it is not easy to shoot through. Of course, gunshot injuries are still possible. Although it is not enough to die, but hit dozens of arrows, the crime is enough to bear, I see that the robe on General Yang Sanlang's body is not stained red with blood, of course, it is more the blood of the Liao army, but it is estimated that his own blood is only a lot! ”
Qiu Youshou smacked his tongue and said, "My mother, Yang Sanlang is really amazing." ”
"Of course, his archery skills are also very accurate, one arrow at a time, and the arrows are not missing! By the way, he also picked the Liao army pioneer Yelu Xida with one shot! ”
Qiu Youshou said with a smile: "We can have such a general to lead the troops, it seems that we will not be able to die this time." ”
"No, that's what everybody says. The Liao army wants to eat us in one go, but we are not fuel-efficient lamps! ”
"So how is this battle fought? Are we still spending time with him like this? ”
Gu Gua shook his head and said, "I guess it's not good, there are too many soldiers in the Liao army, and we have suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that we have more casualties than the Liao army." After all, there are many of them, and they have such a sharp weapon as heavy cavalry. I see, we have to break through in the end! ”
"Breakout?"
"Yes, otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, there will be more of them and fewer of us, and the more we get behind, the fewer of us will be, and the more obvious the enemy will be at that time, and our casualties will rise sharply!"
"That's the truth, but where can you break through?"
"I don't know, but I guess it should be Xiang Taihang Mountain, the cavalry of the Liao army is powerful, and the upper and lower reaches of the river beach are plains, where can we run to in the plains? No matter how far you run, you have to let the iron cavalry of the Liao army catch up! It's still inevitable to die! So, escaping into the mountains is the right way. ”
Qiu Youshou glanced at his eldest brother, he was still groggy, thinking of his previous predictions, it seemed to be right, not only admiration for the eldest brother. He said to Gu Gua again: "If we can think of it, the Liao army will definitely be able to think of it, maybe there are already heavy troops waiting for us!" ”
"That's for sure, so ah, I'm afraid the battle will be more difficult to fight in the future! However, except for breaking through to Taihang Mountain, nowhere else! Could it be that we still want to break through to the Fushui River? That's not self-defeating! ”
"That's right, hehe" Qiu Youshou said in a worried and low voice: "My brother is injured like this, if he breaks through, what can he do?" ”
Gu Gua said: "Don't worry, there is me!" I said that the two of us are brothers in life and death, and when the time comes, I will help you carry the stretcher, and you will definitely be able to rush out. ”
"Great! Thank you! ”
"Thank you, thank you. My own brother! Hurry up and eat, when you break through, you don't have time to eat, and you have the strength to eat well. ”
"Good!" Qiu Youcai took out the dry food he brought and wanted to feed the eldest brother, but the eldest brother Qiu Youcai was still in a coma and couldn't eat at all. This not only added a lot of worries to Qiu Youshou.
After nightfall, the Liao army on three sides lit torches, holding torches and continuing to attack, it seems that the purpose of the Liao army is obvious, we must race against time to annihilate all the Song troops as soon as possible, and then turn back to Youzhou to deal with the main force of the Liao army. So, attack day and night.
At this time, the soldiers around him began to be restless, whispering something, and then moved in the direction of the Fushui River!
Qiu Youshou was very surprised and asked Gu Gua, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know!" Gu Gua shook his head, "I'll ask!" ”
Soon, Gu Gua ran back, his face was panicked, and he said in a low voice: "There is an order from above, let us move to the other side of the Fushui River!" ”
"Huh? Isn't that ...... self-defeating? ”
"That's right, but that's what it ordered!"
"If you can cross the river, I'll ...... I don't know how to water! What to do? ”
"Don't worry, I said that someone has been sent to investigate, this section of the Fushui River is relatively wide, the river is not too fast, and it can get by. There are a few places where it can spill up to the shoulder. Don't worry, I'll water, I'll go ahead, you can follow me, I'll find a shallower place. Let's go! I'll help you carry the stretcher! ”
So far, Qiu Youshou has no choice. (To be continued......)
