Postscript – Nine Years Later (1)

Time flies, and nine years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the seventeenth year of Emperor An, in the autumn of the second year of the Great Zhou's conquest of Yan, the war to unify the Three Kingdoms finally burned under the city of Wuta, south of the Wuluo River in the Qi State.

The majestic Wuluo River is like a giant dragon wrapped in thunder and lightning, and the rolling roar and the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound outside the Wuta City make the earthquake tremble and the mountains and rivers change color.

"Kill, take Wuta City, and go straight to the ...... of Qidu"

"Chong, I captured Emperor Qi alive, everyone went home for the New Year!"

……

The wolf smoke is billowing, and in the loud horn, the Zhouzi banners that have been broken into one by one have become blood-stained, and the temptation to go home for the New Year has made the soldiers who have fought for many years red-eyed, shouting, whistling, and rushing forward one by one......

The whistling arrows flew over their heads, and the blood under their feet flowed like rivers.

Under the cover of a fierce cavalry, the ambulance team braved a dense rain of arrows to carry the wounded into the rudimentary tents behind the troops.

Cleaning, disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging...... The wounded soldiers who had been disposed of were quickly carried out of the tent and sent to the rear, and the other was immediately carried up again, the snow-white medical clothes were dyed red, the sweat on the faces of Lu Jun's master and apprentice was like a river, and the little doctors and nurses were running one by one without touching the ground......

"Gauze!" Zhang Biao shouted, "The gauze is gone!" ”

Seeing that the large stack of snow-white gauze he had just sent in turned into a red hill in an instant, the little doctor's eyes were dizzy.

"Anesthetic, anesthetic!" Dong Xian grabbed a large piece of gauze and pressed the wounded soldier's chest to stop the bleeding, while shouting, "The arrow is broken in the flesh, I must use anesthetic!" ”

The attack on Qi was like a bamboo, everyone did not expect that near the Qi capital, seeing that victory was in sight, but outside the city of Wuta, they were met with unprecedented resistance from the Qi soldiers, rolling wood and stones, bricks and rockets, but everything with lethality was demolished by the Qi army and transported to the city to be thrown down without dying, and the wounded soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty increased more than ten times overnight. There are not many anesthetics in stock, and Lu Jun ordered that the general wound should be straightened, and the anesthetic is not allowed unless necessary.

Open a medicine cabinet, empty, and open another one. Or is it empty...... The doctor in charge of distributing the anesthetic was red-eyed, "The anesthetic is gone!" Turning to the last one, the medic burst into tears.

"Go find Wu Senjun and get a few vat of spirits!" Lu Jun shouted without raising his head, "Bear with me, Master will personally go to raise medicine." The anesthetic arrived quickly. ”

"Master, his entire leg has been trampled on!" Looking at the bloody flesh and flesh of the flesh and blood trampled by the horse's hooves in front of him, the soldier who had just been brought in shouted, "What should I do? ”

There is no anesthetic. What to do?

Lu Jun blinked his sweaty eyes vigorously, trying to see the situation in front of him clearly, and a clear voice sounded at the door, "Amputate your leg immediately!" ”

** The body shook, "Master! He subconsciously turned his head.

The person who came was Zhen Shi Niang, who came back from raising medicine in person.

After a few years of cultivation, her complexion has plumped a lot, her skin as white as porcelain can be broken by blowing, and the thick hair she has just grown is simply pulled into a bun. Pinned the jade hairpin to the back of his head, the whole person was clear and beautiful, and it suddenly looked good. Suddenly a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman.

"The anesthetic arrived?" Lu Jun ran over in surprise.

"It's here!" Zhen Shi Niang beckoned to Jian Wen, who was sending medicine together.

Jian Wenzheng instructed people to unload the medicines on the carriage, "Mr. Lu! He took the lead in carrying a large box and ran over, "This is the anesthetic that my mother prepared overnight!" "Darentang's anesthetic still has three days to arrive. Zhen Shi Niang raised medicinal materials nearby and prepared a batch overnight.

"Great!" Lu Jun's excited voice changed tone.

"Dodge, dodge......" As he was speaking, a rapid shout came from afar, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, Wei Dutong has been hit by an arrow!" With the shout, four people rushed in carrying Wei Wu, who was covered in blood.

"The arrow wound is too close to the heart!" Qiao Lei, who rushed over to help, shouted.

Qi Jun's arrows are all barbed, and when he pulls it out, he will bring a large piece of meat, especially in the left chest, which is so close to the heart, and if he is not careful, he will break the heart pulse, and none of them can do this operation except for the master and the ancestor. Looking at Lu Jun, who had not rested for two days and two nights, Qiao Lei's face turned pale.

Facing Wei Wu's deathly face, Lu Jun's hand holding the scalpel trembled slightly.

Wei Wu is his brother who has been with him for many years.

"I'm coming!" Zhen Shi Niang took the scalpel and instructed the medical staff, "Prepare anesthetic!" ”

"Master has just arrived, and he has been running all the way......" Lu Jun hesitated a little.

“…… I slept in the carriage. Zhen Shi Niang neatly cut Wei Wu's robe, "It's you, your eyes are dark, I'm back, you go and rest." ”

Looking at Zhen Siniang's busy back, Lu Jun was full of miscellaneous.

Old, he's really old.

Zhen Siniang's body is weak, he has always been rushing to the front to take care of her, since when did she become the front to take care of him?

Feeling a little dizzy in his head and prostrating all over his body, Lu Jun felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.

In just a moment, it was replaced by a wave of relief that welled up in my heart.

In any case, he was happy to see Zhen Siniang look so healthy today.

……

The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured out on the maple trees on both sides of the road, clusters of fiery red, like frost.

A few small doctors and nurses are shuttling through the maple forest, collecting gauze that dries during the day.

“…… Madame go back, we'll just take it. Mu Yue, the chief medical nurse, folded the gauze and persuaded bitterly.

obviously knew that Zhen Shi Niang's body was strong now, and she could even throw a man on her back, but Mu Yue was worried that she would be tired.

Perhaps, the memory of seven years ago is too deep, right?

At that time, she was still a student in the Rejuvenation Academy, and she didn't remember what happened later, the only thing she remembered was watching the pair of vicissitudes of life under the blazing sun supporting each other and walking step by step to the viewing platform with only seven steps, she couldn't stop her tears...... That's at that time, Zhen Shi Niang in her memory was always weak.

Since Zhen Shi Niang came back from illness, whether it was in the rejuvenation hospital or in the military hospital after the war, everyone was reluctant to let her work too hard.

"I'm not tired." Zhen Siniang took off the gauze of her father-in-law, raised it gently, and skillfully folded it into two sections, "The list of people left behind has been prepared?" ”

After five days and four nights of fierce fighting, the Zhou army finally captured Wuta City, and only Qidu was left. captured the capital of Qi and captured Emperor Qi alive, and the five-year unified campaign ended.

This is the last battle.

General Wu ordered. Regardless of the severity of the wounds, all the wounded soldiers were left in Wuta City, and the medical personnel were also divided into two groups, one group was left to take care of the wounded soldiers, and the other group was accompanied by the troops for first aid.

"It's ready!" Mu Yue tentatively discussed, "Madame, stay too." ”

"Let Mr. Lu stay." Zhen Siniang shook her head. "Arrange for another doctor to take care of him." After several years of hard work, Lu Jun's health is getting worse and worse.

"Mr. Lu wants you to stay." The sword has no eyes, and it is too dangerous to go to the battlefield with him," he said, saying that he has been in the army for many years and has more experience than you. ”

The farther the first aid team is from the battlefield. The longer the wounded are transported, the higher the mortality rate, in order to be able to save more people. Lu Jun and Zhen Shi Niang unanimously advocated that the tent of the first aid team should be set up directly behind the battlefield.

It's just that since then, the danger of medical staff has been greater, and because of this, Lu Jun has always disapproved of Zhen Shi Niang's practice of medicine with the army.

After all, it is a cold weapon war, which is much worse than modern aircraft artillery, looking at Mu Yue's nervous face, Zhen Shi Niang smiled dumbly.

Just about to speak. A guard hurriedly came, "...... Qi Guo set up a five-element and nine-son array to block the way, and General Wu ordered. The army retreated to Wuta City overnight! ”

Five Elements and Nine Sub-Arrays?

Zhen Siniang frowned.

It's no wonder that the resistance to attack Wuta City will be so great, it turns out that they are buying time to set up a formation.

It's just that she hasn't even heard of it this time. Jian Wu, can it be broken?

“…… Vice General Sun brought 5,000 people to visit the formation last night, but there has been no news. Seeing Zhen Shi Niang frowning, the messenger guard explained.

Five thousand?

All destroyed?

Zhen Shi Niang is excited.

"Auntie, aunt!" A handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old rushed over, "...... General Wu and his uncle quarreled, and the prince asked you to go quickly! Because he was running too fast, he didn't notice that he was tripped by the roots of the tree under his feet, and the boy threw himself over.

"Xiao Lei be careful!" Zhen Shi Niang helped him, "You slow down, what's going on." ”

The person who came was Xiao Lei, who was rescued by Zhen Shi Niang back then.

has grown into a sturdy young man, as if he is a head taller than Zhen Shi Niang, he gasped for breath, "Uncle and General Wu quarreled!" While pulling Zhen Shiniang and leaving, "The prince can't persuade him, let my aunt go and put out the fire!" ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere is solemn, as if it is full of thunder and lightning, and a storm will be set off at any time.

"No, no!" The general Shen Jianwu shook his head into a rattle, "Long live my personal order, my father will only be my relatives and take care of me in the army, and I must not lead troops to fight!" He looked at Shen Zhongqi earnestly, hoping that his father would take a step back at his insistence.

Shen Zhongqi also looked at his son quietly.

Seventeen-year-old Jian Wu, half a head smaller than him, with sharp edges and corners, as if his face carved by the sky has taken off its former immaturity, cold and domineering, just like himself back then, but with a little more restraint and vicissitudes.

It has something to do with childhood experiences, right?

Looking at Jian Wu, who was majestic in golden helmet and silver armor, Shen Zhongqi was very pleased.

Grown up, he finally grew up.

It's no longer the Jian Wu who is tired of fiddling with woodcarved swords in his arms all day long.

It's just that when the child grows up, he can't help his father, and he begins to know to talk back to him!

The warmth under his eyes flashed, and Shen Zhongchi's face darkened, "What long live the decree!" He slapped the table, "The so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the kings outside, as generals, they must first know how to respond to random battles and seize the fighters!" He looked at Jian Wu seriously, and said word by word, "That Five Elements and Nine Elements Array, only I can break it!" ”

This is true.

A hint of darkness flashed in Jian Wu's eyes.

Then he shook his head vigorously, "No, resolutely no!" Seeing that Shen Zhongchi's face changed, he changed the topic, "The generals have already agreed, since we can't break it, we will attack it by water!" Pointing to the topographic map, he gestured, "We withdrew our troops for 30 miles overnight and retreated to Wuta City, and tomorrow we will break the embankment at the mouth of the Majiarong weir and release water." "I don't believe that those arrays of earth, sand and gravel can withstand a monstrous flood!

Jian Wu looked at his father confidently.

"General Wu is right, the Five Elements and Nine Sons Formation is located in the lower reaches of the Wuluo River, and it is the autumn flood, the water is fierce, and it is also a feasible strategy to break the embankment and flood the formation, even the prince agrees." Shi Hu took the opportunity to persuade, "Brother Shen, don't be stubborn. ”

“…… No matter how unpredictable the Five Elements and Nine Elements Array is, after all, it is also a civil engineering pile, and people do it, and the strategy of water attack is feasible. The prince also followed suit, "Father-in-law should not insist." He looked at Shen Zhongqi with a flattering gaze.

Although he is a political genius, he is incomparable with Shen Zhongchi's father and son in military affairs, right to this. The crown prince is also self-aware, especially although he is called a prison army, his father has always instructed him to listen to Shen Zhongqi in military affairs, and not to hinder their father and son from using troops.

At this moment, although in favor of Jian Wu. But in the face of Shen Zhongchi's anger, he didn't dare to press the identity of the prince.

“…… Your Highness's words are wrong. Shen Zhongqi forcibly suppressed the suffocation in his chest and slowed down his voice, "The lower reaches of the Wuluo River flow through four provinces and sixty-seven counties. Accustomed to penetrating the entire Wuluo tribe, once it is not mentioned, most of the Qi country will become an ocean. "It would be a terrible disaster. "Your Highness has never thought that in our thoughts, how many people will lose their homes and be displaced?"

Yes, wars kill people.

However, the war is to exchange the smallest casualties for greater peace, and they are to save the people of Yanqi from fire and water under the raging tyranny, not to create purgatory on earth.

The prince's expression darkened.

These. It's not that he didn't expect it.

However, the secret report they had just obtained was that the prince of Qi State borrowed 100,000 troops from Wu Luo at the cost of ceding the three cities and marrying the county lord of Wu Luo as the concubine. Outflanked from the southwest, and now in the current situation, their 300,000 troops have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Qi State. There is a Wuluo River in the east, and the north is blocked by the Five Elements and Nine Sons Array, once the retreat in the west and south is blocked by Prince Qi's 100,000 elite soldiers, and the enemy is on their backs, they are likely to fall short and the whole army will be wiped out.

For today's plan, only by immediately breaking the Five Elements and Nine Sons Formation and directly smashing Qi to capture Emperor Qi alive can they have a chance to turn around.

It's not that I haven't thought about the consequences of the Wuluo River bursting, but after all, it is not the people of Da Zhou who will suffer, compared to the crisis of the annihilation of his 300,000 army, this sacrifice is nothing.

In war, there is always sacrifice, doesn't it?

"The king knows." The prince changed the topic, "This is the only choice at the moment!" He also said, "The lower reaches of the Wuluo River run through the entire Wuluo tribe, once the embankment is broken, the king of Wuluo will not be able to take care of himself, and the 100,000 elite soldiers borrowed by Prince Qi will also retreat." ”

Killing two birds with one stone, this is also a good strategy.

Everyone in the tent nodded.

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and Shen Zhongqi fell silent.

After a long time, he stood up suddenly, "Although I haven't broken it, I have heard Master mention this formation, I will lead 20,000 elite soldiers to break into the formation tonight, maybe ......" He looked at Shen Jianwu, "I can also save Vice General Sun." The topic changed, "If I don't come back in two days, it's not too late for you to think about breaking the embankment!" ”

"No way!" Jian Wu stood up suddenly, "Long live you are not allowed to lead the troops!" Seeing Shen Zhongqi glaring at him, he hurriedly said, "Since Dad thinks that the sacrifice of the water attack strategy is too great, then you will teach me the method of breaking the formation overnight!" Three days......" he looked at Shen Zhongqi with burning eyes, "...... Give me three days, and I'll be able to learn it! "For the arrangement of troops, Jian Wu is confident that his comprehension is not surpassed.

Teach him how to break the formation?

Shen Zhongqi was gloomy.

How can he break the formation?

He just heard the master mention the power of the Five Elements and Nine Sons Array, and he didn't know how to break it or teach him?

The reason why he didn't listen to the dissuasion of the people and insisted on breaking his previous oath to personally lead the troops to break the formation was that he wanted to try his luck with his rich experience and the tips of the master back then, but he was not sure, how could Jian Wu?

Even if he is superhuman, he will be able to learn it, how can he be willing to let Jian Wu take this risk!

More mainly, "...... The battlefield is changing rapidly, the victory or defeat is only in a moment, and once the fighter misses it, it will not come again! Shen Zhongqi looked at Jian Wu solemnly, "Prince Qi's 100,000 elite soldiers will arrive at Wuta City in less than five days, and it will ...... in three days" His voice was low, and Shen Zhongqi said word by word, "After three days, we will lose all opportunities!" ”

Jian Wu's face turned pale.

Yes.

They simply didn't have three days to learn the method of breaking the formation, otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to take the next step of water attack.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Zhongqi turned around suddenly, "It's so decided, everyone have a meal and rest early, and prepare for the third watch." "But all formations, most of them are commanded with formation flags, it is convenient to break the formation during the day, but it is not easy to find the command center of the other party, and it is different at night, you must use torches to command, and it is easy to expose the target.

After speaking, Shen Zhongqi raised his legs and left.

"No way!" Jian Wu's eyes were red, "Without General Ben's arrow order, no one would want to mobilize a single soldier." The title became General Ben, and Jian Wu looked at Shen Zhongqi aggressively.

"What!" Shen Zhongqi turned around suddenly, "You dare to talk to your old man like this!" ”

Not to be outdone, Jian Wu said, "I am the general who commands the three armies!" ”

"Shitty General!" The green tendons on Shen Zhongchi's forehead jumped up, "I'm your old man!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
