Chapter 384: Surgery
"Stone!" When the giant Mo Zhai saw the soldiers below holding shields and approaching in two teams, he knew that the state of Chu was going to use the wood. Arrows and bows cannot pierce shields. With a clear order, the soldiers on the city walls immediately lifted stones of various sizes and threw them downward.
Big as a basketball, as small as a fist.
"Shoot." The Chu army would not let the enemy stop the collision with the wood, and the Tulou archers covered the city, and a large number of wounded appeared in this round.
"Quick, send the bow and arrows." Hua Wen only felt a thunderclap wake him up, and immediately climbed towards the city wall with the bundled arrows.
As soon as I went up the city wall, I saw the wounded all over the place, all of them bleeding, and Hua Wen even saw an arrow stuck in the chest of his fellow Cao Guo who had joined the ink with him.
Hua Wen's limbs suddenly weakened, but the person in front of him was running towards the ink man who needed arrows, he couldn't block the wall, there were people behind him. It's not that I haven't seen dead people, don't be afraid, as long as you can stop the Chu army, it will be a victory. Hua Wen's thoughts were scattered, but instead of becoming a burden, he sent a bundle of arrows behind the ink man.
"Stones, more stones!" Arrows are not enough, but stones. Hua Wen immediately turned around and continued to move the stones, gathering them at the city gate.
General Chu looked at the orderly defense of the head of the city of Cao State, gritted his teeth, and looked at the head of the city again. Although the infantry were holding wooden shields, the large rocks crackled and fell, and they still killed people. And the knock wood only hit a few times, and before he could hit the gate, he had to order: "The people behind must hit the gate when they go up." ”
Boom, boom, boom!
The city gate was crumbling by hitting the wood, which was originally a simple wooden door, and the entire door frame was loose.
The inkers behind the city gate could only be urgently reinforced, and six craftsmen carried the timber to strengthen the city gate, busy sweating profusely. You can hear the shouts of the Chu army through the door, although you can't understand the Chu language, you can also feel the anger of the Chu army, as if a beast is knocking on the door, once the gate is broken, these tiger and wolf divisions will kill into the city.
"You have to hold on, do you still have wood?"
"No, we have to cut down trees."
"Then cut."
Trees are also property, and the cost of defending the city is constantly increasing. The trees cultivated in ten or twenty years will also face being cut down, but if the Chu army enters the city, it will not be as simple as cutting down trees, and all the sacrificial vessels, jewelry, and furniture accumulated in ten or twenty years will be robbed. So at this time, I didn't care whether I wanted to use trees as beams or trees to make furniture, and I had to use them as tools to defend the city.
"Yes!"
Hua Wen finished the gap between arrows and stones, and had to carry the wounded down from the city wall, and he was so busy that he was sweating. He had seen dead people before, and even played with skeletons in the cemetery when he was a child, but he couldn't help but be scared when he looked at the painful expressions of the wounded. The arrow pierced into the flesh, blood gushed out, and the screams were terrifying.
"This one is going to be amputated."
"This guy is just a minor injury, don't shout."
"This one seems to have hurt the internal organs, and it needs to be dealt with immediately." Yun Yao made a preliminary classification of the wounded carried down under the city walls, and then further treatment, first for serious injuries, and then for minor injuries.
All the wounded were carried to the national shrine, and this place of worship became a humble field hospital. The women, seeing the increasing number of wounded, were worried about the progress of the war and wondered if the gates could be held.
Yun Yao didn't have so much free time, so she started treatment immediately, and tried to treat it if it could be cured. Those who can't be cured can only be arranged to fend for themselves.
Amputation surgery, in fact, the amputation technique is already very powerful at this time, and the key point is to peel off the flesh and shorten the bone after amputation, so that the wound can heal faster.
However, the process is naturally very painful, there is no anesthesia, and the bare hands are separated from the skin and flesh on the severed limb like peeling a banana to find the bone, cut the bone short, so that the bone is shorter than the wound, and then wrap the peeled flesh and skin.
The only preventive measure that can be used is a tourniquet that is tightly tied to prevent heavy bleeding from the wound. During the whole process, both the wounded and the doctors were put to the test. Yun Yao's white coat was already dyed red, and the monarch's wife had already fainted, and she was still trying to hold on when she saw the severed limb section, and she couldn't hold on when she saw Yun Yao put her hand into the wound and saw the bone.
Don't talk about ordinary women, even Simei is disgusting, and she almost didn't hold on.
"You're too skilled in this technique, is it possible that Heavenly Court still wants to amputate someone?" Xia Ji was surprised by Yun Yao's composure, Yun Yao was able to amputate her leg without changing her face.
Yun Yao thought to himself what this is, what he is best at is plowing pigs, in order to be able to eat a bite of pork, Yun Yao and the dolphin people in the caiyi worked out the correct way to plow pigs.
"If it was in my estate, this wounded man would not have had to be amputated at all, but unfortunately the conditions here do not allow it, so he can only amputate his leg." Yun Yao said.
"You immortal is really not authentic, I thought that the immortal could cure mortals as long as he breathed." Natsuhime said.
"My cultivation is not enough, my immortal is a technical immortal, and I don't fly up with mana. However, even if the immortals have immortal qi to treat, the number of mortals is far more than that of the immortals, and the immortals cannot be exhaustive, and the affairs of mortals still have to be solved by the mortals themselves, and it cannot be said that if you are injured, you will wait for the immortals to save it. "Yun Yao's research on surgical techniques is mainly to enable mortals to save mortals, and it is impossible to let immortals come forward every time.
That's right, the technique of amputation is used by mortals, but looking at Yun Yao's skillful appearance, Xia Ji couldn't help asking: "Then how many people have you amputated." ”
"Not much, I don't remember the specifics, and it is estimated that there will be no more than ten." Yun Yao didn't deliberately remember how many surgeries she had performed in hundreds of years.
Simei all looked at Yun Yao, as if they wanted to get to know her again, because Yun Yao's behavior was very different from that of ordinary immortals.
The duel at the city gate was not over yet, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded on the Chu army's side, two of them were smashed in the head by stones, and their brains came out, and they couldn't survive.
General Chu sensed that the Chu army had already retired, because the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, and it was only a stalemate to continue fighting. It was the first time they had encountered such a difficult city to conquer, and if they couldn't find a way to rush in, a stalemate would only increase casualties, and let the soldiers fight a battle with no chance of winning, and the soldiers would definitely not be willing to continue.
"Am I going to be frustrated in the country of Cao?" General Chu was very unconvinced in his heart, Cao State is just a small country, a small country with few people, the city wall is only one zhang, he brought three thousand Chu soldiers enough to take it, there is no problem at all, but he didn't expect that even the city gate could not be opened.
Now the general must make a choice between continuing the offensive or retreating to Korea. If you return in vain, it will definitely be a shame, Chu Jiang glanced at the giant standing on the tower, and said fiercely: "It's because of him." "The giant is commanding the battle from the tower, so General Chu knows very well that it is because of the existence of the giant that Cao Guo's resistance will be so fierce.
Who is he? General Chu didn't look like a doctor when he looked at the giant, let alone a prince, as if he was an ordinary countryman. Could it be that meat eaters are despissing and unable to plan far, so they need Chinese people to defend their families and defend the country?
"Damn, I don't believe in evil, I have 3,000 people, and if I don't believe it, I can't open the city gate. Eat first today and continue tomorrow. General Chu ordered to eat immediately.
At night, the outside of the city is full of bonfires of the Chu army, and there are more than 150 bonfires here with 20 people in one bonfire.
"Three thousand, the number is too many, if there are only a thousand, after today's battle, they will definitely retreat, but if there are three thousand, tomorrow will definitely be a more fierce offensive." The giant said heavily, he had stood in the tower for a day, but he could not rest yet, and he had to prepare for tomorrow: "Count the material, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow." ”
