The rest of the inspection was peaceful, and no Turkic horses or cavalry were encountered along the way. In the evening, Zhang San and his party rushed back to Yingzhou City.
Tomorrow, other teams will go to inspect, and Zhang San will have a day to rest.
"Xiao San, are you scared today?" Cheng Chumo came to Zhang San's room at night and asked.
"Fortunately, I'm still a little uncomfortable at first, but I'll get used to it later." Zhang San had been riding a horse for a day. At this time, he felt like his whole body was falling apart. He was lying on the bed and didn't want to move.
"I thought you would faint when you saw blood, but fortunately, it's not that embarrassing." Cheng Chumo sat on the stool, poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile.
"Who are you looking down on? I've killed people before, okay?" The first time Zhang San killed someone was when his little sister was kidnapped. After Zhang San found it, he originally wanted to shoot Zheng Shide with a crossbow, but Zheng Shide pulled the dog.
I act as a shield.
Today, Zhang San also shot several people to death with crossbow arrows. For a doctor, seeing blood and corpses is nothing. What is difficult is killing people by himself. This made Zhang San feel a little difficult to adapt.
"Haha, but the fact that you rescued these soldiers today still made everyone have a different view of you. At first, everyone seemed to be a little repelled by you, but I think they will be impressed by you later when they know your abilities."
"Understood. After all, I didn't rush in during the battle. Fighting each other is really not my strong point. My purpose is to eliminate the enemy on the path of attack. If I can reduce the number of head-on collisions, I will do so."
"What you said is novel, but wars are always fought hand-to-hand. You'd better take the time to let your guard teach you. I saw today that the guard named Black Bear is very brave. You should study hard, so that you can
Improve your combat effectiveness." Cheng Chumo said.
"Listen to you, this didn't happen too suddenly. I didn't have time. I will work hard to improve my combat effectiveness later." Zhang San also knew that what Cheng Chumo said was reasonable. Even Black Bear and the others could not survive on the ever-changing battlefield.
To truly protect yourself, you need to be tough on yourself.
"Okay, you go to bed early tonight. We don't have to go out of the city tomorrow. You can also take this opportunity to get used to it."
After Cheng Chumo left, Zhang San thought about sleeping, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of today's fighting. Some of the fallen bodies trampled by horse hooves were like mud, which left a deep impression on Zhang San.
.
Zhang San didn't know when he fell asleep, but he was woken up by the noisy sound outside the next day. Zhang San got up from the bed, stretched his sore arms, opened the door and walked out.
"Sir, you're up, why don't you sleep more?" Zhang Zhi saw Zhang San coming out and hurriedly greeted him.
"I can't sleep. Is there any news from the inn?" Zhang San has seen the cruelty of the battlefield, so he is eager to improve his survival probability.
"Not yet, but I guess it will be today." Zhang Zhi replied.
Just when Zhang San was thinking about going back to the inn to have a look, a man called Zhang San from behind.
"Did you call me?" Zhang San turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a military doctor, followed by a wounded person whom he had treated yesterday.
"Captain Zhang is very polite. I am Xu Shuncai, a medical officer accompanying the army. I came here specifically to ask Capt. Zhang some questions." Xu Shuncai introduced himself to his family.
Zhang San cupped his fists and replied: "I wonder what question Dr. Xu wants to ask?"
"Well, yesterday I saw that the wounds of the injured people who came back were treated very differently, so I asked out of curiosity and learned that it was Captain Zhang who was handling the wounds, so..."
Xu Shuncai was a little embarrassed. These days, medical skills are usually passed down from one generation to the next and are not easily passed on to outsiders. He was also embarrassed to say the next words.
Zhang San chuckled upon hearing this: "Doctor Xu want to learn about the technique of suturing wounds, right?"
"Haha, that's right. I hope Captain Zhang will not hesitate to teach me." Xu Shuncai bowed deeply to Zhang San with a very sincere attitude.
Zhang San put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu is too polite. Let's discuss it together."
Xu Shuncai was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Thank you very much Zhang Duizheng."
Zhang San actually wanted to talk to the military doctors here. After seeing how the soldiers treated their wounds, Zhang San was very worried about the medical level here.
"Captain Zhang, I actually understand your wound suturing technique after reading it, but I don't understand some of the details."
"Doctor Xu said it doesn't matter. If you know, I will definitely tell you."
Zhang San asked Xu Shuncai to sit down, poured him a glass of water and said.
"I think the thread used to suture the wound is not an ordinary needle and thread, right?" Xu Shuncai took a sip of water and asked.
"Yes, that thread is made of sheep intestines and is specially used to suture wounds." Zhang San replied.
"Sheep intestines?" Xu Shuncai was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "That's it."
"What is a bacterial infection?"
After Xu Shuncai saw the condition of the wounded yesterday, he greatly appreciated this treatment method. He asked several times and learned some things from the soldiers. Xu Shuncai did not quite understand some of the words the soldiers said. The soldiers
He didn't know either, so Xu Shuncai had no choice but to ask Zhang San for advice.
"This is a bit troublesome to explain, that is, some wounds often become red and ulcerated after infection. In fact, these are because the wounds were not disinfected and cleaned before, or the post-processing was improper, which led to the breeding of some small bugs that are invisible to the naked eye, which in turn caused the wound to become inflamed...
"
Zhang San changed some professional terms into words that modern people can understand.
"Although I still don't understand a little bit, I still understand it in general." Xu Shuncai replied after thinking for a few seconds.
"Military Doctor Xu, I'm sorry, but in our military camp, don't we have the knowledge to systematically teach soldiers how to give first aid? Yesterday, I saw some soldiers using plant ash to apply directly to their wounds."
After hearing what Zhang San said, Xu Shuncai blushed and said awkwardly: "That's not the case. We all rely on experience. That plant ash is also me... Ahem! I taught it to everyone."
Zhang San was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't expect that this was what Xu Shuncai taught. In fact, plant ash can be somewhat effective, but it is only used for relatively small wounds and is used when there is no other way.
"Uh, sorry about that, I didn't mean anything else. In fact, plant ash also has its effect." Zhang San was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that this method was taught by Xu Shuncai.
"Alas! In fact, I have been studying how to treat the wounded to the greatest extent. In fact, it is difficult for many wounded in the army to receive effective treatment, which eventually leads to wound infection, which may be life-threatening or even amputated. Unfortunately, the conditions for marching and fighting are simple.
I am also full of ambition but not strong enough!"
