There were no antimicrobials in this era. Whether the sick and wounded survive is entirely up to chance.

The bacterial infection and wound ulceration after the operation cannot be solved even by the God believed in by Europeans and Americans!

However, here in the Qin army, the military doctors who have received the theory and education of Western medicine use strong salt water and strong wine to clean the wounds, and then combine them with the traditional wound medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, which can reduce the inflammation and ulceration of the wound to a certain extent. Although the sick and wounded will suffer a little, it is much better than dying anyway.

Not to mention the soldiers whose wounds are rotten, Qin Jun also has an invention in the Western medical community here - maggot therapy.

As early as the beginning of this century, Napoleon's army used this method to treat wounded soldiers, and during the Civil War in the United States, military doctors on both sides used this method to treat wounded soldiers.

Berding. Stanford and Schubert. The modern medical system of the Qin army, established by Duke and the two Americans, and maggot therapy was naturally introduced to the Qin army. Although at the beginning, from the generals, doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, to the most ordinary soldiers in the army, they all resolutely resisted maggot treatment, but everyone had to bow their heads in front of the facts. This disgusting-looking treatment is really good for treating the wounded.

For the Qin army, the life of every soldier is precious. The establishment of the medical battalion is not only to treat the officers, but also to the most basic soldiers to receive the help they can. Especially during the war, there was little difference between middle and lower rank officers and soldiers. The difference in status between the two is not the medical battalion at the front, but the rest home in the rear.

Lodkin was always followed by a Russian interpreter who was also a watchman. The losses of the previous combat expeditionary army were slight, and there was no need for Lodkin to do it, he just watched a few operations of the expeditionary army doctors at close range.

Now he needs to go back to his tent. This battle has just begun, and I hope that the Russian army can really give it a boost and make this empty medical battalion full......

The battle continues.

Shouts of killing and gunfire came from the sky over Corta. The Russian army lost more than 200 people on the forward position, and even hit his head in front of the main position.

In this small position, Chernyaev relied on the superiority of the Russian army in numbers and firepower to rush into the trenches more than once. However, they could not break through the five round forts, and were blocked and fired by the soldiers of the expeditionary army in the forts with crossfire, and the Russian army could not stay long at all.

Trenches were strewn with corpses, and the breastwork was already in tatters. Among the corpses were tall Russian soldiers, as well as shorter, yellow-skinned and black-haired expeditionary soldiers. Even if they have been killed, there are still many corpses that are scuffled together, and many of them even die together!

The soldiers of the expeditionary army responsible for guarding Corta were stubborn and tenacious, fighting each other, and both armies were bleeding.

Three days passed, the Russian army had reduced its strength by seven or eight hundred, and the front-line combat units, that is, the first two battalions, had lost more than half of their combat effectiveness and had completely lost their combat effectiveness. The expeditionary army also suffered more than 300 casualties.

However, this was because a squadron of the Volunteer Battalion went too far with Lao Maozi to fight with bayonets, and the whole squadron was surrounded by the Russian army, and in the end, only a third of the people survived from the battlefield. In order to save this squadron, Chen Bo was forced to fight an instant counterattack, instead of relying on five round forts to consume the morale and lives of the Russian army as in the past, and finally counterattacked to recapture the front.

That battle reimbursed 20% of Chen Bo's troops.

Chernyaev couldn't fight anymore. Chen Bo was still interested.

The Qin army has strict military discipline, and the treatment is definitely generous in the current China, and the food, clothing, and food are all covered by the army, unlike some teams, which seem to be not low in salary, but they have to take off the food and clothing fees, plus some deductions from the officers, and the soldiers do not get too much real gold and silver. And the soldiers of the Qin Army who participated in the expedition took a double ring, and this life can be said to be sold to Liu Xian.

The tolerance for casualties is naturally high. The proportion of one-third of the casualties was far from the point of dragging down the morale of the defenders.

The Russian army, which could not be attacked, had to switch to a defensive posture. Chernyaev asks Kaufman for reinforcements!

Liu Xian in Gongchen City immediately noticed the signs of the Russian offensive stopping. When Chen Bo's war report arrived, 3,000 soldiers of the expeditionary army and the volunteer battalion were ready to go.

After this force left for Gongchen, the entire central and eastern parts of Ili were empty. Liu Xian left only one cavalry brigade in Huiyuan City.

……

Ili was large, but there were not many roads for the army to travel, but there were mountains and rivers. The topography of the Ili River valley and the situation on both sides of China and Russia determined that Liu Xian could not deal with the 'luring of the enemy into depth' like Aguba.

Borohugil is a point, and the banks of the Ili River are a line. A qiē east and west clash of battles are inseparable from here.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Xian had no intention of using 'conspiracy' against the Russian army.

He didn't want the land he had just recovered to pass out of his hands again, and he was afraid that if the plan didn't work, it would be self-defeating and let the Russian army really occupy the land.

Therefore, in the second battle against Chernyaev, Liu Xian's attention was to first die in Kolta, consume the sharpness and morale of the Russian army, and then counterattack the whole army.

At the same time, the battle in Corta can also deplete part of the Russian army's arms reserves. The journey from Almaty to Borokhurgir was no easy either.

Cherniaev did not know that Liu Xian's big counterattack was about to begin. However, after the Russian army moved into a defensive posture, it also made certain defensive measures - curve trenches. Chernyaev now learned and sold, and arranged a second defensive front behind the forward positions of the original expeditionary army.

At night, shield wagons appeared behind the main position of the expeditionary army.

Blocks of pads made of iron plates and thick wooden planks were laid on the trenches of the main position. The shield cart in the empty state easily moved from the rear into the center of the main position, where bags of sand were stuffed into the empty belly of the shield cart.

The shield cart that the first two people could push up immediately became countless times heavier, and there were no seven or eight people who didn't push them at all. Now, behind each shield cart is a squad of soldiers of the Expeditionary Army or the Volunteers standing quietly.

Gather the strength of three squadrons, thirty shield carts of this appearance.

Liu Xian looked at his pocket watch, and it was already two o'clock in the night. "Start, attack—"

The order was given, and the soldiers carried the heavy pads and rushed towards the trenches at the forefront of the main position, and behind them, shield wagons moved slowly...... R1152
