Chapter 107: Annihilation 22

readx;

In contrast to Han Xin's inability to communicate with To Chung in time, Tian Heng, who was above the city wall, knew very well what the officers and soldiers who stayed behind in the battalion under his command were doing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing that the other army under his command actually responded to his orders with such a negative attitude, Tian Heng could be said to be even half angry.

However, judging from the current battle situation, even if he wanted to contact the officers and soldiers under his command, Han Xinjun, who had already completed the formation and spread out, knew that Han Xin would not let him do it so easily.

As for Tian Heng's helplessness, Han Xin and Du Cong don't know such a thing now, even if the two of them know that Tian Heng will encounter such a predicament, they will only show a gloating smile.

But no matter what, as long as Han Xinjun can still divide the Qi army in this place and avoid the other party from calmly merging, this battle, no matter how stupid Tian Heng is, knows that his defeat is more of a matter of time.

......

The area between the first line of defense and the second line of defense was almost covered with the corpses of both the Qin army and the Qi officers and soldiers, or there were many seriously injured people who groaned in pain behind some of the various wreckages that had been burned to charcoal.

Such a situation is more issued by the officers and soldiers of Qi, after all, although it is not too good with the Qin army, but it is still possible to let the seriously injured get timely treatment as much as possible, and now in fact, there is no battlefield rescue that no one pays attention to, and the Qi army in this regard, is to let these seriously injured people shed their last bit of blood in a helpless situation.

Although Du Cong knew very well that many of the wounded Qi officers and soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness, they had not yet died.

But for Chung To, is it good to treat these wounded Qi soldiers?

Not at all, sometimes, to treat the wounded of the enemy or something, at this time, no one has such an idea, or even more so no one wants to do it.

Zhang Jiashi did not think about this situation, and let his military medical workers treat the wounded of the other party.

But after Zhang Jiashi revealed his thoughts in this regard, whether it was Chen Ping, Li Zuoche, or Li Xin, Han Xin and others, they were all very unanimously silent about this idea.

In other words, Chen Ping and others do not support this idea at all.

This is also understandable, after all, for Han Xin and the others, they have not thought about this point of view at all, let alone come into contact with this record.

It's not that they don't have a benevolent heart, but they also think it's more of a waste and thankless.

After experiencing the silence and artistic conception contained in the silence expressed by his subordinate Wen Wu, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up this idea.

This can be regarded as a matter of no choice, because for Zhang Jiashi, he can't ignore the feelings of the officers and soldiers under his command, and he can't ignore the opinions of his officers and soldiers on some situations.

Moreover, just as Zhang Jiashi himself thought of a relative situation, that is, the treatment of the wounded of these enemies will inevitably consume more materials, and even the treatment time for the wounded officers and soldiers under his command may be divided by this kind of thing.

This is likely to lead to the problem that the lives of officers and soldiers who may be able to be saved will die under this arrangement.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up this suggestion.

......

In this matter, what no one thought of Zhang Jiashi was that his idea was called "an unrealistic idea although Emperor Dingwu was quite benevolent"

If Zhang Jiashi knew that he had recorded what he had planned to do in some manuscripts, and he would end up with such an evaluation, he might be so angry that he would tear up the manuscripts.

However, Zhang Jiashi should not blame these people for their evaluation of his ideas in this regard.

After all, this kind of idea is not ordinarily difficult to implement.

Even the Qin officers and soldiers who experienced the second war between the Great Qin Empire and the West, that is, the Great Qin Empire's loss of the Iberian Peninsula region, still believed that there might indeed be a need for the enemy's rescue behavior. However, in terms of combat situations, they simply cannot accept the act of treating the enemy on the battlefield. After all, they know one thing very well, that is, after a war, even their brothers and robes around them cannot all be effectively treated, and they will end up disabled or even killed.

If the wounded of these enemies were also included in the scope of treatment, how many more people would die because they did not receive timely assistance?

So in this regard, even Yingxiu, another Ming monarch after the previous virtuous monarchs of the Great Qin Empire, wanted to rely on his influence on the army to carry out reforms in this regard, and in the end it ended up with a result that could be regarded as a failure.

But Zhang Jiashi's efforts in this regard are not completely in vain, at least, compared to the history of Zhang Jiashi in the original world, the female soldier ambulance unit finally appeared in this world nearly three hundred years earlier.

In the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, that is, in 330 AD, during the Byzantine Empire, male and female monks worked together in the monastery for medical treatment, nursing, and relief.

In this regard, Yingxiu overrode public opinion and established the first college of women's medical engineering and corresponding nursing education, which made Yingxiu get more praise in the army.

Of course, Yingxiu did not intend to make these female nursing and first aid personnel in trouble, and the status of these female nursing and first aid personnel, under Yingxiu's intentional or unintentional promotion, was even higher than that of some low-level officers.

And Yingxiu's biggest support in this regard is to acquiesce and through some means, let his queen Yin Lihua become the dean of this academy.

This also means that these women's nurses and first responders have a very strong backing in many ways.

During the reign of Emperor Yingyu of Qin Xiaoming, who succeeded to the throne from 415 AD to 441 AD, the arrangement in this regard was more of the queen's preference, which led to some problems from time to time on the issue of women's emergency nursing staff education.

And this situation had a great impact, especially the later empresses, who were the female caregivers known to the emperor at the time.

For example, from 591 A.D. to 616 A.D., Yingguang, known as Emperor Qin Shu, and his wife Empress Xiao served as a women's nurse.

In a sense, Zhang Jiashi's ideas in this regard have not achieved corresponding results, but the medical development of the Great Qin Empire is still a "shortcut".

The history of the development of female nursing staff in Zhang Jiashi's original world can be regarded as quite tortuous:

In the 16th century, the Reformation led to the disappearance of monastic-supported hospitals, and the level of care in the newly established hospitals was declining, with untrained women taking care of the care. Male caregivers are mainly responsible for caring for patients in isolation, such as leprosy and mental illness.

After the Industrial Revolution and into the early 19th century, women became the main providers of care because of their typical femininity.

In 1860, Nightingale established a training school for nurses, which was limited to women, and many nursing schools and hospitals began to not accept men. So far, the nursing profession has produced gender segregation, and men are excluded from the nursing profession.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, men were almost extinct in nursing, and women became the absolute subject of the nursing profession.

In a sense, if it weren't for the emergence of Nightingale, the development of women's care in this area might have to go further "fork in the road".

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Until noon, neither Han Xin nor Du Cong could defeat the Qi army under Tian Heng.

On the contrary, about half an hour ago, at a very heavy price, the officers and men under the command of Du Cong, who had counterattacked to an area about 200 meters north of the first line of defense, were suppressed by the arrows fired by the Qi officers and soldiers on the city wall at this distance, and they could not advance easily at all.

Knowing this, Chung To was very angry and helpless about such a situation.

Angry at the city wall occupied by Tian Heng, because of the certain height advantage, many crossbowmen had to risk shooting at each other.

And the most casualties under his command were not the light infantry units that were not very well defended, but the crossbowmen who had to use their own crossbows and crossbowmen to fight in more dangerous areas in order to effectively suppress the opponent's long-range strike force.

There were not many officers and soldiers who were actually shot by the other side in this crossbowman, but many of them could not continue to fight after they had them.

This also leads to a problem, that is, many times, before the crossbowmen of other troops come to fill the gap, the crossbowmen of an area will be driven out by the rain of arrows of the Qi army.

If this situation continues, then the attacking forces that are suppressed in front will have to pay an even greater price.

This situation made Chung Du very angry, but he was helpless that he had no way to reverse this disadvantage at the moment.

......

Under normal circumstances, the best way to deal with such an enemy crossbowman shooting from a high altitude is to use a building cart about the same height or higher than the city wall and arrange for the archer to shoot at the opponent.

However, judging from the current development of the battle situation and the corresponding equipment under Chung To's hands, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that Chung Du wants to do this.

He would love to change this unfavorable situation. But for him, it really made him helpless. Unless he has a way to conjure up these cars directly.

Obviously, he doesn't have that ability yet.

......

However, after about an hour later, Chung To's second group of combat troops was withdrawn for rest, and he received a piece of news that made him quite happy.

That is, Han Xinjun finally launched an attack on the raiding force of the Tian Hengjun army that was caught by them at this time.

Of course, Du Cong knew that although this kind of attack was better than nothing, once Han Xinjun really started to act, then he would always share part of the attention of the Qi army, and even have to divide his troops to fight against Han Xinjun's offensive.

......

Han Xin lacked engineering equipment, but it didn't mean that Han Xin couldn't help at all.

On the contrary, after seeing that the Qi army in his south actually turned back to the camp, Han Xin, who was stunned in his heart, turned his head to look at the camp wall in the north, pondered for a while, and decided to take this opportunity to harass and attack the Qi army on the city wall.

At this time, Tian Heng also arranged a part of the officers and soldiers under his command to correspond to the offensive of the Qin army outside the defensive line, but what he didn't expect was that before his other team was assembled again, the crossbowmen troops under Han Xin's command who had originally dealt with the possible offensive in this regard, under the cover of the shield soldiers in front, were as close as possible to the range where they could launch effective kills against the Qi army.

Many arrows were fired from the south of the first line of defense against the Qi troops on the city walls.

However, the actual lethality of these arrows did not cause a large number of casualties among the Qi officers and soldiers who were reduced in the striking area.

However, as Chung Du thought, although the casualties in the attack from behind were not large, for the Qi army, these enemies still had to be faced and resisted.

Han Xin knew this very well, even Chung Du could think of this, after knowing Han Xin's approach, Chung Du naturally knew how to cooperate with Han Xin to fight.

......

Judging from the situation from the battle to the present, Chung Du knew that it was difficult for Han Xin to break into the wall of the fortress from outside the defensive line.

If you want to deal with these Qi officers and soldiers, it is more from his side of the officers and soldiers to launch a fierce attack on these enemies.

Chung Du would not have missed the opportunity in this kind of matter, if Han Xin's harassment and tactics of sharing the firepower had to be abandoned due to the heavy casualties of his crossbowmen, he would obviously have to pay a heavier price to fight against Tian Heng's army.

This is something that Chung Toh himself can't bear.

If the casualties of his officers and soldiers were too great, although the battle was won in the end, it would not be of any benefit to him at all.

At this time, Han Xin and Du Cong did not expect a situation, that is, the officers and soldiers under Tian Heng could not hold on to it in the first place.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

As far as Han Xin and the officers and soldiers under the command of Du Cong are concerned, the material preparations of the two armies are quite sufficient in this battle.

However, the troops under Tian Heng's command are more unprepared strictly speaking.

Especially in terms of the stock of arrowheads and the food they carry, there are now quite serious problems.

Many of the Qi army's crossbowmen themselves only carried the corresponding combat base, and in order to avoid Du Cong discovering this problem, Tian Heng launched more attacks on the first line of defense, and only after success did he transfer the corresponding supplies from the camp.

However, because of the night and the sudden arrival of Han Xinjun, there was no corresponding amount of these materials.
