Chapter 276: Yellow Dragon Scuffle

One adopts the fixed plus moving pulley, and the other only adopts the fixed pulley. After the test, the previous one has the fastest speed on the wall, but the preliminary process is more complicated. The latter pre-process is simple, but slow and requires a lot of manpower. After seeing the effect, Zhang Jun proposed that one method should be used with twenty doors. As long as the number of heavy cannons on the city wall reaches 20 within the specified time, the old rule is to avoid death.

The use of pulleys is not an old-fashioned invention, it has been used in ancient architecture, especially in high-tower buildings, but due to the limitations of education and the lack of attention to miscellaneous subjects, there has been no general direction of development and use. In the construction of tall buildings such as towers, the people who can use these wheels are called master craftsmen. However, due to the characteristics of some men but not women in China, as well as the low usage rate, some usage methods have not been formally popularized. Legend has it that the stones of the pyramid were also transported using fixed pulleys.

Time is of the essence in this plan. Heavy artillery had to disrupt their formation by opening fire before reinforcements from the archers of the North and South Cities arrived. The four passages used firearms to quickly break through into the city and spread out defensive formations to meet the steady stream of troops. Finally, establish a defensive line and take control of the eastern part of the city.

……

There was no attack for five consecutive days, and the weather was even colder, Zong Han was very suspicious and anxious, compared to Wanyan Zongbi, it was much easier, both sides were famous generals, and Zong Han had already arranged a strategy to deal with the various siege methods of the Song army. Song Jun's waterwheel gave him a lot of trouble, and it has always been a problem that he can't solve. After all, it is impossible for the Jurchens to be as wealthy as the Song and build a waterwheel to fight back.

Zong Han sighed at night inspection, even if it can be held this winter, it will be difficult to say next spring, there are more than 200,000 troops on the Hebei military road, which is really not something that the Jurchens can directly contend with. With the advent of firearms, the power of cavalry was greatly reduced, and Zong Han felt lonely for no reason.

"Bell ......" interrupted him with the sound of a gong. He turned to look, but saw a noise in the direction of Dongcheng. There were a few 'booms', and the flames soared into the sky, and Zong Han recognized that it was the Song army's hand-throwing cannon. Immediately ordered: "The Song army attacked at night, and the northern and southern bow battalions were deployed by Wanyan Zongbi to prepare for the battle. With that, he mounted his horse and immediately headed east. When I got closer, I saw by the firelight of the wall that hundreds of Song troops were standing on the city wall, and there was a steady stream of Song troops emerging from the city.

"Report!" A pro-soldier stopped his horse and said: "The attack route of the left and right city walls has been blocked, and the double ladder cannot be climbed." ”

"What are you doing...... Zong Han said halfway, when he suddenly raised his hand, and an arrow was knocked away by his sword. Zong Han shouted: "Order, defend the four roads, and you can't let the Song army into the city." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers beat the horses and gave orders.

Zong Han corrected everyone's idea of reclaiming the city wall, and instead guarded the dead intersection and waited for the bow battalion to shoot. Success or failure lies in the bow camp, Zong Han immediately turned his horse to the bow north camp, the archers are ready, Zong Han waves, and everyone runs on foot and follows Zong Han. The southern camp was led by Wanyan Zongbi, and after a while on both sides, the two sides did not talk nonsense, and ran towards Dongcheng in formation.

"Marshal be careful!" A cannonball fell on Zong Han's side, and his own soldiers hurriedly gathered into a group. Two seconds later, the shell exploded, killing three of his own soldiers. This was only the beginning of the nightmare, and the area where Zong Han was located was carpet-bombed, and the group of archers were unprepared and immediately scattered.

Zong Han and Wanyan Zongbi immediately pressed it. Zong Han even abandoned his horses, drew his sword and forced his archers through the artillery fire. As long as you take another 100 steps, you can throw a shot at the city wall. The Song army has been equipped with flowering bombs in a large area, although the manual process of flowering bombs is very complicated, but there are still relatively large numbers of Hebei military roads.

There were more and more artillery fires, and this time the Song army did not care about the bearing capacity of the cannon body at all, and carried out scrubbing and bombing of this area. This hand surprised Zong Han greatly, where did the Song army get the cannon? You know, if the heavy artillery is placed under the city, it will not be able to attack here, the city is a few feet higher than the outside of the city, and the range of the heavy artillery outside the city is about the same as that of the archers inside the city. Then there is only one possibility, that is, the Song army transported artillery to the city wall, and he happened to be in this place where the city wall location was the best killing position for heavy artillery.

The Song army finished fifteen shells at a base and was using various methods to cool the barrels. Wang Yan, as the most courageous vanguard of Zhang Jun's subordinates, finally rushed down the left ladder with the help of the hand-throwing cannon. Wang Yan led dozens of people to rush forward, and the people behind began to arrange defenses, and the key defense was the archers. All kinds of materials are piled up as obstacles. Wang Yan led his troops to successfully occupy the northeast corner. The staircase in the southeast corner has not been occupied. The central gate was piled up with countless debris, which was originally a strategy to defend against the Song army's strong breakthrough of the city gate for positional defense, but unexpectedly, it made the hand-throwing cannon useless. The hand-throwing cannon could not blow up piles of stones, sandbags and repellents. In order to defend the city gate, the Jurchens also arranged more than a dozen captured rocket carts here, although there was no gunpowder, but after placing spears on the rocket carts, those were not only natural shields, but also sharp weapons for attack.

At this moment, three rocket cars were pushed by the Jurchens towards Wang Yanbu, and Wang Yanbu's hand-throwing cannons were of little use to them, and they were almost used up. The people in the back can't support them because the front is blocked. Wang Yan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rush! "More than 100 people from the headquarters of the headquarters gave up the bunker and held weapons to slash and kill the Jurchens. In this way, the troops behind immediately followed, and the Jurchens were small in number, plus a row of archers on the city wall fired cold arrows and threw hand cannons, and it was soon impossible to resist.

"Shoot!" Zong Han led people to the vicinity, and when he saw the situation, he immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and after three volleys, almost all the Jurchens and Song people were killed, and they recaptured the northeast corner and began to throw at the city wall.

Wang Yan was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Find something to hide." His men were like mowing grass, and they were harvested by a rain of more than a thousand arrows.

"The general is mighty!" The situation was about to be reversed, but the shouts of the Song army could be heard from the city walls. Zong Han knew that Zhang Jun personally went up to the city wall. The main generals of the Song army are generally far away from the battlefield, especially Zhang Jun, who should avoid danger. Assuming that he accidentally hangs up, the Song army's command is out of balance, and the whole army is prone to collapse.

But on the other hand, if he shows up at risk, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted, and if he appears, his own soldiers will naturally appear. The commander's personal soldiers have always been the bravest elite in the army. Sure enough, in a short time, the Song army broke through the southeast corner and killed the resistants. But when the archers brought by Yan Zongbi arrived, he didn't want to prompt, and waved his hand to let his subordinates shoot indiscriminately. As long as they hold on for a while, the cavalry and infantry of Xicheng will arrive one after another.

The Song army was embarrassed now, due to the limitations of the heavy artillery, they could only push back or push forward to adjust the attack position, but the archers were too close, so the heavy artillery on the city wall could not be used. And the hand-throwing cannon can't be thrown that far. Fortunately, Zhang Jun had already considered this embarrassment, and ordered, the signal officer in the city raised the flag, and twenty heavy artillery pieces under the city began to bombard, and the cannonballs landed exactly where Zong Han and Wanyan Zongbi were located. However, because it was made by hand, the heavy artillery was very inaccurate, after two rounds of cannons, several shells did not have the largest curve, parabolic form fell into the city, but were hit by the wall, fell on the city wall and exploded, due to the dense population on the city, this accidental injury caused a lot of casualties. Fortunately, it was densely populated, otherwise it would have affected a heavy artillery not far away, and it would have exploded in a row, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The battle continued, the heavy artillery on the city wall began to block the reinforcements of cavalry and infantry to Dongcheng, and the Song soldiers swarmed down from the left and right ladders, and under the command of the wounded Wang Yan, they grabbed shields or planks and arrows and forcibly took a hundred steps. The soldiers behind him laid out the defensive front with all the materials. Now this situation can no longer blindly expand the results of the battle, otherwise the heavy artillery will stop, and before you can rush over, the cavalry has already been killed. The vanguards who grabbed the walls were only equipped with special grenadiers who were also on the walls. Consolidating the defensive line, breaking through the city gates, lowering the drawbridge, and allowing a steady stream of troops and supplies to enter is the most correct means.

Although there are heavy cannons on the city wall, the ancient craftsmanship is backward after all, and it is necessary to cool the barrel after hitting a base. The Jurchen 500 cavalry took the opportunity to rush through the artillery line and rushed towards the Song army, which had not yet gained a firm foothold. Zhang Jun was already under the city, and when he saw this, he shouted: "Push the rocket car!" "And the first to push the rocket car, to point the spearhead at the cavalry who came ***. Zhang Jun also needs time, he has to clear the barriers at the city gate so that his cavalry can enter.

The army responded together, and several people without hand-throwing cannons pushed the rocket carts in small groups, ready to meet the Jurchen charge. The Jurchens were not afraid at all and rushed straight forward. Even men and horses have been smashed on the rocket car. Because the rocket car was still relatively short, the horses and people all turned over to the rocket car, crushing and crushing many Song soldiers. The Jurchens in the back stopped their horses and fought with the Song army.

"Shoot!" The northern and southern bow battalions were gathered together by the wounded Zonghan, and two rounds of indiscriminate arrows of 1,500 men galloped down. He also needed time, a large number of infantry was already behind him. And on the opposite side, there is Zhang Jun, the main general of the Song army, and if Zhang Jun is killed, the Huanglong Mansion will be able to defend it.

No one knew Zhang Jun's life or death, because the Song army had already opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge. Wu Jue led two thousand horsemen to break in directly, regardless of the battle situation around him, pointed his spear, and rushed towards the archer battalion that had gathered in formation.

In this case, Zong Han sighed and knew that he could not do anything, so he gave the order, the archers retreated, and the infantry rushed forward. Wu Jue led the cavalry to kill the enemy together. It was the grenadiers who took them into the gates, but they were immediately turned into medics to treat their brothers under the walls. Here are the infantry, cavalry brigades, heavy artillery. The defense was solid, and Zong Han also led the men out of the battle. Wu Jue did not pursue again, and the Song army finally occupied the eastern part of the city, although the western, southern, and northern parts of the city were still under Jurchen control. There are many houses in these three places, and there are warehouses where Allah wants to store food and weapons, and there are Jurchen's big stables in Xicheng.

The Jurchens had two generals, and the Song army did not dare to continue the pursuit, and the main general, Zhang Jun, was hit by an arrow and three arrows. Two on the left shoulder and one on the abdomen. Although there is armor, although Zhang Jun has strong muscles, the three arrows are very deep into the flesh. When Ouyang arrived, he immediately went to see Zhang Jun, who was in the tent at the corner of the city. The blood didn't flow much, because the three arrows didn't ***. A few Lang Zhong were helpless, and Ouyang hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Zhang Jun smiled: "Master Ou, I won't do it, but I also fought a good battle, no matter how strong the Huanglong Mansion is, it was still beaten down by me Zhang Jun." ”

"I can't die." Ouyang looked at it and asked, "Will you have surgery?" "Don't think that the ancient Chinese didn't know how to perform surgery, according to the records of the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a thoracotomy in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the "Liezi Liewen" recorded that Bian Que would also use drug anesthesia for thoracotomy. In the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, it is recorded that those who treat "gangrene" red and black will be cut off urgently. We also have mature experience in the application of paracentesis and the treatment of simple ascites.

However, after the Jin and Tang dynasties, due to the integrity of feudal thought, the human body was gradually mysterious. The dissection of the human body is regarded as a great rebellion, and it is also carried out by law. Despite this, quite a few creative surgeries have been documented. The "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases" of that period was the earliest to describe in detail the steps of suturing and postoperative care.

"......" shook his head.

Ouyang Chang took a breath and said, "General Zhang, why don't I become a live horse doctor for my dead horse power?" ”

"Master Ou, just come." Zhang Jun said openly: "Listen, everyone, my Zhang Jun's life and death have nothing to do with Master Ou. Wu Jue! ”

"In!"

"Your temporary lordship will be the general."

"Yes!"

Zhang Jun said: "Master Ou, come on!" ”

"Yes!" Ouyang instructed: "I want a lot of spirits, and six braziers are placed in the tent to burn." A piece of white cloth, half of which was torn into a long strip the size of a handkerchief and soaked in wine. A dagger, scissors, chopsticks, embroidery needles with thread. Tripterygium wilfordii pounded. Just go! ”

"Yes!" A cadre of soldiers hurriedly went out of the account.

Ouyang took off his clothes and shook his hand, pointed at Lang Zhong and said, "You start, except for the person who adds fire and boils water, everyone else leaves." Ouyang saw that Zhang Jun was still saved, and he was not shot in the major artery, otherwise he would have to go to find a hemostat. Now I don't know how the abdomen is, whether it has ejaculated through the intestines, if so, whether it can be sutured, and whether it can be reduced after suturing. What Ouyang is currently doing is only external anti-inflammatory measures, which largely rely on Zhang Jun's own immunity and resistance.

……

When the things were brought, the temperature in the tent was very high, and the soldiers withdrew after tying Zhang Jun up. Ouyang soaked chopsticks, white cloth, and scissors in the wine. Then wash your hands with alcohol. First break the arrows, then tie the upper part of the shoulder with a rope, and the dagger burns red and begins to dig the arrows. Zhang Jun was in pain, and Ouyang hurriedly stuffed a white cloth in his mouth. Brother, the anesthesia is gone, bear with me!

The dagger emitted a smell of braised pork when it touched the meat, Ouyang was not the first time to have such an operation, and he also helped the criminal dig the warhead when he was undercover, but at that time there were anti-inflammatory drugs, which were much simpler, and if it didn't work, it could be sent to the hospital, which was less stressful than at this time.

A relatively deep barbed arrow was dug out by Ouyang, Ouyang burned the needle and stitched it up, Zhang Jun's whole body trembled, obviously it hurt too much. The thread is soaked in spirits, and the pain can be imagined when it sticks to the inner flesh. The second arm arrow is much simpler. There is no barb, just gently pull out and stitch it up. Ouyang let go of the rope, the wound was normal, there was no hematoma, and there was not much bleeding. Pick up this is the most troublesome abdomen.

The abdomen is not considered a dangerous part in modern times. Ouyang took a white cloth and cut a hole to cover Zhang Jun's abdomen. Then he cut open the wound in the abdomen with a dagger and took out the arrow. Ouyang gently flipped up the skin, and used the steamed chopsticks to pick up the wriggling intestines inside to examine, and his deputy immediately turned his head and spit it out. Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief, there was no strenuous exercise after being hit by the arrow, and the arrow did not cut the large intestine, so there was no need for sutures. Ouyang did not use absorbable and digestible threads, and if it had to be sutured, even if the surgery was successful. It's easy to have follow-up questions in the future.

Ouyang began to stitch up his belly, first scalding it with a dagger, and then starting suturing surgery. This surgery is more particular, you can't sew the skin together and leave the flesh alone, it will take a lot of time to heal. After it was done, Ouyang covered the wound with a mischievous thunder wilfordii. Then he called his own soldiers and ordered: "Thunder wilford cover for half an hour, take it off and rinse it with spirits." The fire cannot be extinguished, and if there is a fever, cover his head with a towel of cold water, do not touch the wound, and do not allow him to move on his own. I'll come back two hours later to bandage it. ”

The soldiers looked at Zhang Jun, who was asleep or unconscious, and asked, "Lord Ou, general him?" ”

"If you don't have a fever for two hours, it's not a big problem. If the fever does not go away, I am afraid it will be more troublesome. Ouyang said: "Wait carefully." ”

"Yes!"

……

Ouyang got dressed and went outside, and the outside was already relatively neat and orderly. He sat in front of the tent in a daze, he himself was not very sure about the operation, but he believed that he had done a good job in wound management. Many people say that without antibiotics, surgery will die, but in fact, there is a misunderstanding, forgetting the body's own immune resistance. Ouyang had heard that the origin of caesarean section was during the Ming Dynasty in China.

It is said that there was a woman who had a difficult birth, and the woman finally asked her husband to cut open her belly and take out the child. After the child was taken out, the mother's belly was sewn up casually, and then wrapped in a blanket and put aside to die. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect the mother to recover two days later, and there was no infection.

Due to the serious injury of the main general, Wu Jue could only arrange defense. Only about 10,000 men entered the city, but there were all kinds of troops. The sappers also laid out the ralei in front under the protection of the shieldmen. On the city wall are two rows of heavy artillery, and there are elite soldiers on the left and right sides of the wall.

Ouyang's character is good, or Zhang Jun's life is hard, two hours later, Zhang Jun not only did not have a fever, but also woke up. The first thing he said when he opened his eyes: "Hades is very kind." ”

"Haha!" Ouyang smiled: "It seems that the problem is not big, you remember, you still can't move, the general can't eat fishy things, it's better to boil some porridge." ”

"Yes!"

"My lord, what's going on outside?" Zhang Jun asked.

"The Jurchens have always been calm!" Ouyang said: "General Wu Jue is not in vain, and the arrangements are very proper. ”

"You call General Wu."

"I'm afraid not, you have to rest." Ouyang Dao.

Zhang Jun smiled helplessly and said: "Please tell me, if the Jurchens do not evacuate, the later they carry out a counteroffensive, the stronger the counteroffensive will be." ”

"Well, you can rest assured." Ouyang said: "You are not allowed to talk to the general more. ”

The soldiers promised: "Yes! ”
