Chapter 150: How to Deal with the Wounded
The supporting Tang army rushed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it rushed into the depths of the Turkic camp.
In the camp of the Turks, the fire is still burning, illuminating the surrounding situation very clearly, the moon that is still hanging obliquely in the sky has lost its light against the background of the fire, if you look around in the camp of the Turks, the whole world is a sea of fire.
The fire caused heavy casualties to the Turks, and also illuminated the direction of the Tang army that attacked, but the increasing fire also brought certain trouble to the large group of cavalry impact, and accidentally rushed into the continuous burning camp tent group, which may be burned by the fire, and the Tang army also tried to avoid the place where the fire was very strong, and rushed to the place where the Turks set up camp as a passage, with a large distance and the fire was not easy to run.
In these places where the fire could not be burned, a very large number of Turks fled over, which just brought convenience to the Tang army's charge, and countless Turks were killed or trampled and injured by the rapidly attacking Tang cavalry.
Countless Turks are running around in the camp, and those cattle and sheep that no one cares about are also mixed with the rout, which makes the entire Turkic camp full of chaos, and there are already a lot of Turks who have thrown down their weapons and surrendered on their knees, although there are still Turks who resist, but under the rapid impact of the Tang cavalry with superior numbers, the formation of resistance quickly collapsed.
"Brothers, keep killing!" Zhang Qianmiao, who was already so tired that he was close to collapse, felt his strength again after hearing and seeing the arrival of our reinforcements, and once again raised the weapon in his hand and shouted, ordering his sergeants to continue to charge and kill.
Those sergeants who rushed back and forth in the Turkic camp and caused great chaos in the Turkic camp on the east side were exhausted, and nearly 100 sergeants were killed and wounded more, but the sergeants led by Zhang Qianqiao were still struggling to kill, they understood that only by continuing to cause chaos to the Turks and supporting until our reinforcements arrived, the nearly 100,000 Turks stationed here could be completely annihilated, and their own men and horses would not be annihilated by the Turks who woke up and fought back.
Now that our reinforcements had arrived, their mission was nearing completion, and our victory was on the verge of total victory, the joy of this filled every sergeant with excitement, and the lost strength grew back from within them, and the sore arms were once again filled with strength, slashing at the heads of some of the Turks who were trying to stop them.
Our morale has greatly increased, the Turks have collapsed, and tens of thousands of our soldiers have come in, and the battlefield is a one-sided situation.
"General Liu, General Liu, pass on the order of the marshal, your task has been completed, order your troops to withdraw from the battle quickly!" Liu Yi, who was leading his troops to kill in the Turkic camp, suddenly heard continuous shouts from his side.
"General, general, the commander orders our troops to withdraw from the battle!" Some sergeants not far from Liu Yi also shouted.
Although the number of sergeants sent by Pei Xingjian to pass the order was quite large, it took a lot of effort to find the location of Liu Yi's headquarters, and after they approached Liu Yi, they immediately conveyed Pei Xingjian's order loudly.
Although the voices of dozens of people were not small, they were still very weak on the battlefield where there were shouts of killing and horses' hooves everywhere, and it was only after more sergeants paging that the voices became louder.
At this time, the intensity of the battle has dropped greatly, and everywhere our soldiers are chasing and killing the remnants of the Turks, and there are also scenes of Turks kneeling and surrendering.
Liu Yi also knows that his mission has been completed, and the finishing work will be handed over to the brothers, the task of clearing out the remnants of the army is still very complicated, after a long period of marching and killing, the soldiers are close to prostration, all supported by will, and they really need to rest, Liu Yi also received the order, saw the Turks in front of him who did not resist, and immediately ordered his sergeants to prepare to withdraw from the battle, retreat to the south of the Turkic camp, and find a place to rest.
The team of more than 1,000 people, in addition to nearly 100 people killed, some were scattered inside and outside the camp, and most of the sergeants were still following Liu Yi, and when these sergeants heard Liu Yi's order, they also immediately turned their horses' heads, followed Liu Yi, swept past the tents of the Turks who were still burning, and galloped south.
The sky was almost bright, and in the Turkic camp, there were still remnants of fire burning, and the scene of fighting was gone, and the war was almost over.
A large number of Tang cavalry were still running back and forth in the smoke-smoking Turkic camp, they were searching for the remnants of the Turks, eliminating those who were stubbornly resisting, and the Turks who surrendered on their knees were driven to the open area by the soldiers, gathered together, and the Turkic leaders among the captives were also selected and prepared to be brought to Pei Xingjian for questioning.
The battlefield cleaning continued, and it was the other departments that were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and searching for the remnants, and most of the men and horses of Liu Yi and Zhang Qianqiao had withdrawn from the battle and rested under a gentle hillside on the south side of the Turkic camp.
The soldiers were almost exhausted, and the battle had been won, and they were relaxed, and many of them fell asleep on the ground when they arrived at the resting place, dismounted from their horses, and fell asleep.
Liu Yi did not have a trace of sleepiness, the first time he participated in the war, he won several battles in a row, the combination of congenital and acquired factors, the combination of the afterlife and the ability of the present world, made him invincible on the battlefield in this era, Liu Yi was full of pride, and he was more confident in himself in the future.
Although the results of this battle were brilliant, due to the small number of sergeants under his leadership, there were many casualties, and there was no military doctor in the army, and no one came to treat the wounded soldiers.
There are medical officers in the army, and the number is very small, all of them belong to the headquarters led by Pei Xingjian, Liu Yi, who originally had more than 2,000 people, was not sent by a medical officer, and no one treated the sergeants who were injured.
There were a lot of wounds, some of them were insignificant, they were bruised or bruised, and these should not be treated, but those who were cut or stabbed by the Turkic knife must be treated.
After Liu Yi arrived at the resting place, he immediately ordered his guards to find a few cauldrons nearby, as well as water, as well as some rags in the Turkic camp, torn into strips, and threw them into the water to boil.
Other sergeants, including Liu Yi's personal guards, didn't understand why Liu Yi did this, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, Liu Yi's bravery in these two battles, as well as the extraordinary ability to command and dispatch, had completely convinced all the sergeants, including Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and other officers at the rank of captain, as well as Wang Zhou, Wang Sui, and the chief officers of the brigade commander level and lower, all admired Liu Yi.
Long-distance attack, directly attacking the large camp where nearly 100,000 Turks are stationed, facing dozens of times the enemy, without any fear and hesitation, tossing the enemy's camp into a mess, this is not something ordinary people can do, Liu Yi ordered to cook cloth strips also has its own reason, and those sergeants with good physical strength came up to help.
Soon the water in several large nests was boiled, and Liu Yi ordered the sergeants to take out the strips of cloth and dry them in the sun, and then ordered the sergeants to use the disinfected strips of cloth to clean the wounds of the wounds after the boiling water cooled down.
The most important treatment method for knife cuts or stab wounds is debridement, Liu Yi, who has learned simple first-aid medical skills, knows this truth, and in the current situation that there are no debridement equipment, no sterilized alcohol and other things, this simple method can only be used to treat wounds for sergeants.
After arranging these things, Liu Yi also ate something, replenished his drinking water, and lay down to rest for a while.
The situation of his own department has already sent a sergeant to report to Pei Xingjian, it is still early, Pei Xingjian has to arrange the next action, or send troops to pursue the fleeing enemy leader, these things Liu Yi knows that it is not their turn to be these sergeants who have been seriously overdrawn, and they have other teams to complete, and when the sergeants rest for a while and their physical strength has recovered, they will go over to gather.
There were sergeants on guard nearby, and there were also guards on the side, and Liu Yi slept with confidence.
I just took a nap for a while, and was suddenly woken up by the guards, "Young Master... General, the marshal is here!"
As soon as he heard Pei Xingjian coming, Liu Yi jumped up from the ground with a bone, patted off the grass clippings on his body, trotted in front of Pei Xingjian, who was coming with a large group of guards, and saluted loudly.
Pei Xingjian jumped off the horse, with unconcealed joy on his face, until he reached Liu Yi's side, "General Liu, these two battles are good, and this commander is very satisfied!" It is worthy of Liu Shangshu, the son of a brave general, who performed so bravely in the first expedition, and won this battle, your credit is the greatest, and the commander will definitely present it to the court!"
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Liu Yi hurriedly expressed his gratitude and accompanied Pei Xingjian to inspect the troops.
"General Liu, what are you doing here?" Pei Xingjian asked with some puzzlement, pointing to the sergeants who were busy scooping up strips of cloth from the boiling nest and preparing to take them to dry.
"Commander, the last general is going to use this water that has been sterilized in boiling water to clean the wounds of the wounded sergeants, and then use these strips of cloth that have also been poisoned to bandage their wounds to prevent infection... There are more serious injuries!" Liu Yi roughly explained the purpose of his work to Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian was a little surprised when he heard this, "Is this effective?" ”
"Dashuai, it must have an effect! Most of the poisonous things in the boiled water are killed, used to clean the wound, you can wash away the dirt at the wound, and it will not cause new poison, and then wrap it with a disinfected cloth, and those things that will make people sick will not go in, unless the very seriously injured, those who are lightly injured do not need medical treatment, they can recover!" For this, Liu Yi is very confident, and when he talks to Pei Xingjian, his face is full of confidence.
"Oh!" Pei Xingjian looked at Liu Yi with some doubts, thought about it again, turned his head and ordered the guards beside him, "Immediately send an order to the whole army, according to General Liu's method, to deal with the wounds of the wounded sergeant..."
