As soon as he said this, Huan Zhao opened his mouth in surprise, and the wooden board recording the data in his hand fell to the ground.
Qin Wuji, the commander-in-chief of the Yan State, had been stationed in Liaodong of the Yan State for twenty years and was quite famous. His title in the Yan State was equivalent to that of the Qin State's concubine.
In today's Yan State, where talents are withering, he is the only battlefield veteran who can lead a large army to fight, and can be called the pillar of the country. Otherwise, King Yan would not have entrusted him with the important task of being the chief general to resist Wang Jian.
Unexpectedly, a person of this level was beheaded and beheaded by a soldier from the Qin Kingdom who only had the title of Duke. Telling the truth about it would really make people laugh.
Huan Zhao said excitedly: "Good boy, you actually killed the general of the Yan Kingdom. This is a great achievement. If the general was killed in one battle, you will definitely be promoted to a higher rank this time!"
Thinking of this, Huan Zhao felt happy.
After all, Zhao Tuo was his subordinate. When he killed Qin Wuji, it could be said that he was "captured by my subordinates." As the commander-in-chief, Huan Zhao and Li Xin would definitely share the profit for such great achievements.
With this victory, Huan Zhao should be promoted to one level. If he adds the credit for killing Qin Wuji, wouldn't he be promoted to two levels in a row?
I'm going to be upgraded from the fifth doctor to the right concubine!
Compared to the pleased Huan Zhao, Zhao Tuo looked hesitant.
"Do you have any doubts?"
Li Xin raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was not right with the young man in front of him.
"only."
Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "General, Lieutenant, I think there are still some doubts about this matter."
As he spoke, Zhao Tuo described what he thought were the unusual behaviors of the soldiers.
As a so-called soldier, one's first mission is to protect the commander in chief.
If the leader dies, all of these soldiers will be beheaded even if they return alive. Unless they can atone for their sins by killing enemy generals of the same level as the leader.
This is the same no matter which country you are in.
In Zhao Tuo's view, Qin Wuji's soldiers were too calm. Their commander was killed in front of his eyes, and they didn't care at all. They didn't even snatch the body, but rushed straight into Guancheng to escape.
You know, as the commander's personal soldiers, their treatment is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. They don't have to fight in battles on weekdays, they only need to protect their own generals.
Under such support, there will always be a few soldiers among a group of soldiers who died in revenge. Especially according to the popular chivalry atmosphere today, the normal approach of those soldiers should be to give up their escape and try their best to avenge Qin Wuji.
But they escaped, running wildly without any hesitation, and did not even snatch Qin Wuji's body.
unusual!
Li Xin suddenly looked at the two soldiers standing at the door and said coldly: "If I end up like this, what will you do?"
"ah?"
The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and after they came to their senses, they quickly shouted: "If the general dies, we will follow him. If the enemy is in front of us, we should do our best to kill him."
Hearing this, Li Xin's expression relaxed, and he ordered: "There are many prisoners captured in this battle. You can find a few prisoners who have seen Qin Wuji to identify them. If there are no prisoners here, go to the general.
There are many prisoners there, and they can always be found."
After sending away two soldiers, Li Xin said to Zhao Tuo: "Your opinion is reasonable. I will identify this person carefully. Even if he is not Qin Wuji, it is still your achievement. In the future, your contribution will be indispensable. You can
Go ahead."
But Zhao Tuo did not leave. He took a deep breath, saluted Li Xin and said, "General, I have a favor to ask of you, and I ask for your mercy, General."
Li Xin was stunned for a moment.
It was really strange for a soldier to make a request to him. At least, he had never seen it since Li Xin joined the army.
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Tuo cupped his hands and said: "General, no matter whether this person is the general of the Yan Army or not, the credit for taking him down is not due to me alone. Only with the help of many colleagues can we succeed. They are also meritorious, and they are fighting here."
I was seriously injured, and I would like to ask the general to have the army's doctors heal my wounds, Tongshi's paoze."
Li Xin's tense face relaxed and he nodded.
"knew."
Zhao Tuo saluted again, turned and left.
Before leaving, he took one last look at the heads on several cases.
In the blood stains, the corners of the human head's mouth seemed to be outlined into the arc of a smile.
As soon as Zhao Tuo left, Huan Zhao immediately said: "General, do you also think that this corpse is not Qin Wuji's?"
Li Xin glared at him and said coldly: "Don't be blinded by your achievements. This matter must be investigated clearly. If a false report is made and found out to be false, not only will you and I have no merit, but we will also be severely punished."
"only."
Although Huan Zhao said yes, his heart was filled with unwillingness.
This is a great achievement of leveling up. One kill can be worth a big victory.
"Huan Zhao, even though that boy is young, he is much stronger than you."
Li Xin shook his head, sighing even more when he thought of the young man who was calm and composed in the face of great achievements, and how he begged for the injured Pao Ze's life before leaving.
He is both calm and compassionate.
If this child can continue like this, his future will really be limitless.
"Go and find this boy's identity document. I want to take a look."
The proud Li Xin wanted to know the details of a pawn for the first time.
…
When he returned to Gengshi's camp, Zhao Tuo's original joy of victory had dissipated a lot.
Twenty-one people from their hundred-man team died in the battle, including Liang Guang, the commander of Xintun Tun, let alone the soldiers below.
In addition to the elder and younger brothers who were unfortunately rushed to death by Qin Wuji's soldiers, Shitou, who was also Paoze, also died silently in this battle.
There were only seven people left in the original ten-man team, and most of them were injured.
Among them, Zhu was the most seriously injured. He was tall and had difficulty dodging on the narrow Great Wall. In addition, when he encountered the enemy, he charged with a shield. He took the lead and provided cover for the follow-up. This caused Zhu to be seriously injured.
, in addition to the vital points protected by the shield, there were seven or eight wounds on his shoulders, legs, and waist. He was now lying weakly on the ground.
The other novices, Xiqigu, also suffered many injuries. Although their lives were temporarily safe, their complexions were not much better.
The black buttocks were also unlucky. He was not injured during the battle at the Great Wall, but when the troops were withdrawing, he was poked into his buttocks by a friendly spear. He screamed in pain.
The army in the pre-Qin era also had military doctors, but the number was very small. They usually only treated nobles and military officials. For example, their general Lu Wu was injured and was being bandaged by doctors.
As for the remaining pawns, most of their injuries can only be carried by force, and life or death depends on fate.
This is why Zhao Tuo asked Li Xin to send doctors. He did not want these comrades who lived and died together to leave because of their injuries.
"I can only hope that the gold medicine of this era will be useful. Unfortunately, the alcohol content does not meet the requirements and cannot be used for disinfection. If I can become more developed in the future and get out the highly concentrated alcohol, I don't know how many lives can be saved on the battlefield.
.”
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart. He only lamented that his status was too low and he only had a lot of ideas, but now he couldn't do anything.
Now he could only tear off the strips of cloth from his clothes and bandage them to stop the bleeding. If he wanted to recover from the wounds, he would need the golden sore medicine from the military doctor.
"Liu Tao·Long Tao": There are two alchemists who are responsible for hundreds of medicines to treat golden sores and cure all diseases.
According to records, there were military doctors in the pre-Qin period, but the number was very small.
