Chapter 103: Chopping melons and vegetables
There was a native who was lucky, a bullet hit him directly on the forehead, the heavy bullet immediately broke his forehead, penetrated into his brain, and then the huge kinetic energy then lifted the back of his head shell, and the brain suddenly splashed out, a good head, in an instant, only half of the head was left, he fell directly to the ground without saying a word, and he didn't even have convulsions, he hung up directly.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley for a long time, and the sound was something the natives had never experienced before, so when they saw the outsiders on the other side suddenly breathe fire and smoke, and then they saw their companions fall to the ground in pieces, and the rest of the natives who were rushing forward were blinded at once.
Because they didn't know what was going on, they couldn't figure out how these outsiders on the other side could do it, why the iron rods in their hands and the iron pillars on the ground would breathe fire and kill their companions.
So the natives who were charging involuntarily stopped, and looked down at the companions lying on the ground, and some of them crouched down helplessly, squatting beside their wounded companions, reaching out to cover their wounds and prevent more blood from gushing out, but it was obviously in vain.
A mighty charge, just a volley, announced the collapse, everything seemed to come to an abrupt end, and the remaining natives stood in the open ground at a loss, not knowing for a moment what to do.
This reaction surprised Yu Xiaotian, originally he thought that a salvo could frighten these buns, and they would definitely be able to turn around and flee, but he didn't expect that these natives did not collapse immediately after suffering such a cold blow, they just stopped their footsteps and stood in front of them blankly.
Although he felt that it was a bit cruel to do this, after all, they were outsiders, in the eyes of these natives, they were invaders, and it was they who disturbed the normal life of these natives, and these natives did not like their coming, and it was really normal, so they would attack them.
But now he has done evil, deceived these natives who were born and raised here out of the jungle where they lived, and slaughtered them here, if morally speaking, he is definitely a villain.
However, this feeling only flashed in Xiaotian's mind, and it did not bother Yu Xiaotian for long, because Yu Xiaotian understood very well that when civilization and backwardness collided in this world, they often used blood to solve the contradictions between them, and backwardness would be beaten, which was the last word that could not be broken.
Now it is clear that he represents the advanced side, and in order to achieve his goals, such killings are inevitable, and only through such killings can more conflicts be reduced in the future, and deterrence by force is undoubtedly an effective method in some cases.
"Reload! Aim! Keep firing! Yu Xiaotian's heart became cold, and after taking back the waist knife in his hand, he shouted coldly again.
And his words were obviously a bit redundant, because without waiting for his orders, the musketeers and gunners, according to the rules of their training, after completing the first fire, did not even look at the battlefield, and immediately began to lay down their muskets and begin the second loading.
By the time Xiaotian gave the order, the fastest of these musketeers had basically completed the reload, and were just waiting to be fired here.
The arquebusiers put away their canes and raised their muskets again, and the arquebusiers arranged the arquebus, lit the arquebus again, carried the arquebus on their shoulders, and carefully blew the arquebus close to their cheeks.
"Aim!" A captain in charge of commanding the musketeers stood at the end of the line and shouted loudly.
Hearing only a loud bang, dozens of musketeers once again lowered their muskets from their shoulders, flattened their butts, pressed the butts of their guns against their shoulders, leaned forward, narrowed one eye, and began to look for the next target among the natives on the opposite side through the front sight of the door, and locked it in the front sight, their bodies tense and ready to withstand the recoil generated when the musket was fired.
Under the operation of the gunners, several Tiger Squat guns also quickly completed reloading, once again tamped the fixed footpegs, and aimed the muzzles of the guns at the forward position.
Yu Xiaotian looked at the natives who were still in a daze on the other side, pursed his lips, sighed slightly, and slowly raised the waist knife in his hand again.
As a cold light fell, another series of roars and bean-bursting muskets rang out one after another......
Yu Xiaotian stopped on the battlefield, his eyes swept over the entire battlefield, and the open ground was full of corpses of natives, and their bodies were still flowing blood, slowly soaking into the ground, making the land under them fertile.
Some of the natives were seriously wounded, but they lay on the ground groaning and did not die, and some of the sea wolves patrolled the battlefield with spears or single knives, and when they saw the seriously wounded natives, they stabbed them in the chest with knives and spears, and pierced them into their hearts, ending their suffering.
This kind of killing is not an act of killing prisoners, because the current medical conditions cannot treat such serious injuries, unless they are their own people, they will be transferred back to be treated, and it is a mercy for an enemy like this to end their suffering as soon as possible.
The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the slain natives let out the most sorrowful screams before they could breathe, and a few slightly injured people were singled out, and after examination, they were carried down and put in a clean place, and someone began to heal them.
Now the healing is very simple and painful, it is impossible to have a hemp boiling or anesthetic for them, especially this kind of bullet wound, you can only use a sharp knife, cut their wounds, and then use a silver spoon to probe into the cut wound, look for the projectile fragments inside, dig it out alive after finding it, and then pour some wound medicine into the wound to stop the bleeding is considered to be the completion of the operation.
Among the sea wolf subordinates for such an operation, Yu Xiaotian specially trained some of his subordinates and asked them to operate, to some extent, they are the predecessors of battlefield ambulances.
As for the method of cultivating them, it is also very simple and rude, whenever Yu Xiaotian kills pigs and sheep on the island, he makes people use gunfire or knife cutting or arrow shooting.
Then the injured pigs and sheep were handed over to these temporary ambulance soldiers to dispose of, and let Lang Zhong teach them the simplest and most effective methods, take out projectiles or arrow clusters, suture wounds, and apply medicines, so as to train them how to deal with wounds and make them have a certain ability to rescue on the battlefield.
But the difference is that Yu Xiaotian put forward relatively high hygiene requirements when they operated, and the ambulance equipment used should be wiped and cleaned with spirits, and then ignited the residual alcohol before it can be used, so as to reduce secondary infection as much as possible and improve the survival rate of the injured.
Although this is simple and crude, but it is undeniable that it is still quite useful for improving morale, in ancient wars, the number of medical officers in the army was scarce, only generals could be injured after being treated, medical officers were treated, once ordinary soldiers were injured, or rely on their own resistance to survive, if they can survive, it is luck, and if they die, they can only be said to be unlucky.
Therefore, once the average soldier on the battlefield is injured, sometimes a small wound may kill people, and it is impossible for them to get good treatment and care, even the most common wound medicine, it is difficult for them to obtain, even if they get some wound medicine, it is very simple and cheap wound medicine.
But Yu Xiaotian thinks very highly of his subordinates, because he knows the value of a veteran, especially a wounded veteran, they are equivalent to a turn at the gate of the Hades Palace, once they return from injury, they will become the backbone of the people, the value of a veteran, at least more than the value of several recruit eggs, sometimes the veteran may become the key to the success or failure of a war.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian still attaches great importance to the matter of battlefield ambulance, and for more than a year, he has sent people to kidnap some Langzhong from time to time in various places on land, especially some surgical saints, as long as he hears about it, he will find a way to kidnap their whole family and send them to Nanri Island to live.
So far, he has kidnapped more than ten Lang Zhong and sent them to Nanri Island, originally Yu Xiaotian even planned to equip each boat with a medical officer in the future, but Lang Zhong is a scarce resource in this era, and he can't find so many Lang Zhong at all, so let him match them all on the ship.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing, and find a way to train some battlefield ambulance soldiers to be attached to the ship or station, as well as some combat teams, to solve this problem.
In fact, ambulances don't need to learn too many things, mainly to learn the treatment of key wounds, and then learn some simple disease judgment, diagnosis and treatment.
As for the use of medicines, he strongly advocated the use of more over-the-counter medicines, that is, after the herbs are concocted, they are made into wax pills or powders, which can be used at any time, so as not to take too long to train an ambulance, and the ambulance soldiers only need to take ready-made medicines to carry out their work.
Of course, more or less ambulance soldiers also have to learn the collection and use of some wild herbs, know dozens of common herbs, once there is a shortage of medicines, when necessary, they must also find a way to collect some usable herbs on the spot.
So far, the ambulances he trained have not yet been in place, and some people are still studying with Lang Zhong on Nanri Island, this time here in Jilong Bay, he just brought one Lang Zhong, three ambulances that can just be used, Lang Zhong must be a scarce commodity, and he wants to stay in a safe place in Jilong Bay, this time he came out to do things, he had to bring two of the three ambulances over.
