Chapter 536: Treatment
By the afternoon, more than half of the troops had been invested by both sides, and 60,000 men were fighting on the battlefield. The Tuanshan army had 20,000 and the Qing army had 40,000.
This battle was particularly hard, because the baggage detachment of the Tuanshan Army was crossing the Songyue Mountain one after another, and the soldiers could not get a complete and adequate supply, and many soldiers only had ammunition to carry with them. When you run out of ammunition, you can only fight the enemy with bayonets.
And for some reason, the Qing army was like a chicken's blood, going forward one after another, fighting to the death and not retreating. Even though there is still no suspense in the battle loss ratio, the Tuanshan Army is greatly ahead of the opponent, but in a hurry, the Tuanshan Army cannot open a breakthrough.
At this time, Zhang Li even regretted a little, whether he was too underestimated and should not have pulled the army to Kaesong early.
People will always make mistakes, not to mention that this is not an obvious mistake, but I didn't expect the Qing army to dare to go out of the city for the first time to fight in the field - according to the calculation of tension, no matter what, the Qing army came up to fight in the field, although the regimental mountain army was uncomfortable, but the final result was nothing more than the annihilation of the whole army, at most the regimental mountain army paid a considerable price.
For example, in the battle in front of us, the Tuanshan army paid about 30% casualties at most, and the outcome of the 60,000 troops of the Qing army was predictable.
This kind of battle that must be lost, Hong Chengchou is really willing to fight?
Zhang Li's eyes looked at the northwest corner of the battlefield, which was where Zhang Li was most concerned now, because the three thousand franc mercenaries had not been engaged in the battle, but had just quietly lined up in formation and remained motionless.
Corresponding to this is the wooden "immovable camp", which also has a total of 3,000 people, closely monitoring the movements of Westerners.
The enemy does not move. I don't move - this is the order that tension gave to the wood.
Tian Ji horse racing is about the following horses against the upper horses, but that is just horse racing. On the battlefield. Be sure to dismount the enemy and quickly defeat the dismount. Then the enemy's so-called "getting on the horse" will also be dragged down.
There is a premise for this, that is, when your own horse mounts attack the enemy's dismount, you must ensure that the enemy's "mount" does not cause trouble. But the current situation obviously can't do this, so the elite needles of the two sides are facing Mai Mang, and they contain each other on the northwest side of the battlefield, as if the battle of tens of thousands of people has nothing to do with them.
Not far from the tension, a row of field tents was erected, and the military medical team of the Tuanshan Army was racing against time to treat the wounded who had just been transferred from the battlefield.
Qi Ying, the captain of the military medical team, gave birth to a big fat boy to Mu last year. So he left the medical corps for a while. Later, after the child reached the age of one, Qi Ying returned to the military medical team and served as the captain.
Because Qi Ying is willing to learn, his brain is also good, and he is gradually reused by tension. Now there are six or seven hundred people under Qi Ying, seventy or eighty people in Langzhong, and the rest are nurses.
After all, nine out of ten injuries on the battlefield are knife and arrow wounds or firearm wounds, and the diagnosis is not complicated, and there are almost no incurable diseases. The main thing is the care of the nurses.
There are about seventy or eighty Lang Zhong who can already cope with it completely, and a large number of osteopathy, hemostasis, and bandaging work still need to be completed by ingenious nurses.
Qi Ying was giving emergency treatment to a seriously wounded member of the Tuanshan Army who had a thigh artery pierced, and the three nurses in the tent were constantly handing her various instruments. These instruments are all made according to Mr. Zhang's drawings, such as what is called vascular clamps, hemostatic clips and other things. When he was in Tuanshan Fort, Master Zhang also printed textbooks to teach military doctors how to use them.
The puncture of the major arteries is not uncommon on the battlefield, and it is a certain death in the past. However, the situation of the Tuanshan Army was different. About 30 percent of the wounded can be treated here.
It's a pity that unfortunately, the seriously injured man in Qi Ying's hand can't survive. The bleeding of the wounded has stopped. Even Qi Ying bandaged him well, but he bled too much before he sent it. Too much –
With tears in her eyes, Qi Ying put down the unused gauze in her hand, and said to the nurse beside her: "Carry him down, place him in the tent for the seriously wounded, and leave an auxiliary soldier to take care of him." ”
The Tuanshan Army's temporary field hospital consisted of a large number of tents, each of which housed about five to ten seriously wounded people, depending on the condition of the wounded. There are two nurses in charge of a tent, and the work of guarding is done by auxiliary soldiers, after all, it is impossible to bring a large number of military doctors and nurses when marching and fighting. The auxiliaries have a lot more to do, but at the moment their first task is to take care of the seriously wounded.
The two nurses carefully moved the seriously wounded man to the stretcher, and Qi Ying frowned deeply as he looked at his face that had turned pale from excessive blood loss during the war.
"Lang Zhong, who followed the army, said that he would see if the ginseng could give him a new life...... Maybe, maybe we'll be able to make it through—" Qi Ying added, and the two nurses nodded.
In fact, the situation of the soldier can be seen by several people present, there is almost no incoming gas, only a trace of breath out, where can it be saved? I can only try ginseng.
It is said that in the past, the seriously wounded of the Tuanshan Army did not have such a life-sustaining medicine, even if Zhang Li was willing to spend money, he could not get such a large number in Liaodong. Because even in the Jiannu territory, which was the main production area of ginseng in Liaodong at that time, they would not use ginseng on wounded soldiers.
But all that changed in Korea, when King Yi was saddened to find out that he could not afford to pay a huge war reparation.
According to the original agreement signed with Tuansan Fort, the Joseon State was required to pay more than 2 million taels of silver to Tuansan Fort every year. This figure is obviously beyond the limit of what the Korean state can bear, because even in the Chengping era, the income of the Korean state is only a few hundred thousand taels.
If you don't have enough money, you can pay for it with things, and Korean ginseng, a specialty of North Korea, is one of the many debt-paying products. Large quantities of Korean ginseng were transported to Jinzhou, and a considerable part remained in the army to be used as an ordinary medicinal herb - in the prescription of the Tuanshan army to treat the wounded, only the effect of the medicine was judged, not the price, as in this ginseng......
Qi Ying knew very well in his heart that even the so-called life-sustaining weapon ginseng might not have any effect on this dying seriously injured man.
Looking at the backs of the two nurses carrying the seriously wounded away, Qi Ying sighed slightly and muttered to herself: "Forget it, why bother thinking about those useless ones?" Master Zhang once said that there are only six words for the wounded of all the regimental and mountain troops, which is called not abandonment, not giving up. Even if there is a possibility, it must be done with 10,000 points of preparation......" (To be continued.) )
