Chapter 107? A dead horse as a living horse doctor (4)
When Hu Li saw that Niu Mugen had lost his voice, he was so frightened that he thought he was in pain, so he used his hand to check Niu Mugen's breathing. Fortunately, he was still breathing, but he just fainted. He grinned at Zhang Xiaowu and said, "He's not dead."
, Not dead, not dead yet. This boy has a very tough life. Sir, you are not dead after all this trouble, and he will not die in the future."
"Fart, what do you mean by tossing, this is medicine, Xi's medical skills, you know nothing!" Zhang Xiaowu laughed and cursed, turned to the others and said: "Let it dry like this first, Wang Yijin, you will soak the gauze in the wine
Take it out to dry, then tie his wound
Mouth. Wait a minute. I will tie up his wound with silk cloth and change the gauze tomorrow. This gauze must be changed every day, and he cannot be allowed to lie down, just crawl like this. For thirty thousand, you go out and ask a few other people.
Wounded soldiers, who needs me to stitch up their wounds?"
Several wounded soldiers outside the tent had long heard Niu Mugen's crying and wailing, and were trembling with fear. They said that unless they were like Niu Mugen with one foot in the Palace of Hell, no one would be willing to suffer this "torture."
”.
Since everyone did not need surgical treatment, Zhang Xiaowu thought that he was not a professional doctor, so he stood up and expressed his gratitude to Chen Boqing and Gu Ruoxi again. Chen Boqing was amazed when he saw this impressive medical skill, and said that if this cow root could survive,
In the future, this Xi's medical skill will definitely be carried forward in the army. Although Miss Gu Er's face is tired, she is in high spirits. It is obvious that joining the work of treating the wounded makes her feel full and happy, even if she is tired, she does not feel tired anymore.
When the second young lady came back, the princess had also woken up early. She was awakened by the scream of Niu Mugen and thought someone was being tortured. When Princess Shi saw sister Ruoxi coming back, she hurriedly asked, so the second young lady asked.
I couldn’t wait to tell my two sisters about my own relationship.
Since participating in the rescue experience, when a group of big men were helpless, she stepped forward like a hero. Even Chen Boqing praised her on the way back. She was comparable to the heroines in romance novels, and there were not many in the world.
A woman is as brave as she is.
Gu Qingxi asked: "Does Colonel Zhang really know medical skills?"
Gu Ruoxi said: "He said that this medical skill is from the Far West, not from the Central Plains, so I don't know if he understands it, but Niu Mugen fell asleep." She clasped her hands together and said, "Really
I hope that the soldier named Niu Mugen is safe and sound, so that when I go to the underworld in the future, it will also be a meritorious service to save people."
Princess Shi suddenly asked: "Who created the Xi's medical technique you mentioned?"
Gu Ruoxi said: "Hippocrates, a person from the far west, what kind of place is called Greece?"
"The skills of foreign countries and wild countries are not worth mentioning." Princess Shi became disdainful. The holy Han people naturally have the pride of the holy Han people, especially the dignified princess, who naturally despises the barbaric land.
Gu Ruoxi retorted: "I think Colonel Zhang's medical skills are very good. Although he looks scary, he can really save lives. If he can really save people with needles, threads and scissors, and it will be extended to the Han army in the future, I don't know how many soldiers and generals can be saved."
." The more she talked, the more she felt that this plan was very clever. She couldn't help but slap it hard and shouted: "Tomorrow I will learn medical skills from Colonel Zhang."
At dawn, Niu Mugen finally woke up. He ate meat and drank wine. Zhang Xiaowu ordered everyone to light a fire and make rice. He also boiled all the gauze and bandages in boiling water before re-wrapping the wounded until
He finished everything before eating. The wounded were greatly moved.
Yesterday's loss to the convoy was not great. One person from the Gu family was killed and no one was injured in the caravan. However, fifty-three people were killed in the Death Soldier Battalion, eight were seriously injured, and seventeen were minorly injured. Nine hundred people went out, and seven were killed and injured in a night attack.
Eighteen people, it can be said that nearly 10% of the combat strength has been lost, and the whole camp of dead soldiers is filled with a sad atmosphere.
Hu Sanwan asked when the Death Soldier Camp would be set off, and Zhang Xiaowu asked him to dig a pit and prepare a wooden tombstone, and wait until his comrades were buried before setting off.
The Gu family sent someone to consult, and Zhang Xiaowu came to the carriage of the ladies. The eldest daughter, Gu Qingxi, said through the window screen: "Yesterday, the sergeant's equipment was for us to wait for the casualties. I had nothing in return. I only gave some gold and silver to the dead soldiers camp.
I also ask the general to accept it without hesitation, and it will not be in vain for the soldiers to receive a pension."
Zhang Xiaowu said politely: "Xiaowu would like to thank Miss Gu on behalf of the generals."
Gu Qingxi said politely: "General, you don't need to be polite. I can't bear the pain. I heard that the general sent people to dig the grave. If you don't mind the trouble of my family's guard, please bury him together. Zhou Chou is not a soldier.
However, he has followed my Gu family for five years, and his contribution is not small. I think he had many friends when he was alive, and he should also have many comrades after his death. Even if he goes to the underworld, he will not be lonely."
"Miss Gao Yi, I am convinced." Zhang Xiaowu said.
The corpses of the sergeant, the Gu family guard, the caravan driver and the common people were buried side by side in a large pit in the Populus euphratica forest. The caravan people, the Gu family people and the soldiers of the dead soldiers camp formed a circle.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at their corpses with a dazed expression. He saw a lot of dead people on the battlefield, and this was by no means the first time. He suddenly thought of his former subordinates Min Erlang, Mo Qing, Tao Wangweng and Sun, as if they were buried in the pit.
It's them too.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaowu glanced again. He saluted the military salute of another world to say goodbye to the people who had shielded him from the knife, the people who had eaten with him, the people who had talked about women together.
Let’s enjoy the people of the future and the glory of the past together.
The soldiers under his command didn't know why, but when they saw Zhang Xiaowu saluting like this, they also raised their right hands to their eyebrows. They didn't know what it meant. The caravan and the Gu family thought that this gesture was Zhang Xiaowu's hometown to bid farewell to the deceased, so they followed suit and saluted.
Zhang Xiaowu put down his hand and chanted: "Today, I send a poem to you, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers.
Hunting with military flags in the north, Populus euphratica has cold blood.
He wielded his sword to kill Hu Yi and danced his spear to kill stubborn enemies.
An inch of earth buries the bones of loyalty, and a small residence reveals great justice.
A strong army is as powerful as the sky, and a Han army can reach thousands of miles."
Then, he used wooden boards to dig soil on the ground to fill it. Other soldiers followed suit and covered the body with handfuls of sand, and soon a grave was buried. Zhang Xiaowu took a tombstone made of wood from Hu Sanwan's hand.
Stand in front of the tomb and build it with stones
Come. Zhang Xiaowu squatted on the ground and gently touched the "tombstone" made of poplar wood a few times. Everyone's name was written on it. After he read their names one by one, he sighed again and turned to leave. The other soldiers also
He turned around and left with a sad face.
On the other hand, the people of the Gu family and the caravan were a little depressed and stood here for a long time, unwilling to leave. Especially the relatives of the common people. After the sergeant left, they knelt on the ground and burst into tears. The three ladies of the Gu family had red eyes.
, crying not only for the soldiers, but also for the guard Zhou Chou, and also for the people.
The second young lady, Gu Ruoxi, secretly swore in her heart: "If I learn Xi's medical skills, I will definitely save more people and prevent you from dying early."
After Zhang Xiaowu attended the funeral, he led his men to inspect the wounds of the corpses among the corpses of the bandits, and summed up his experience to prepare for the upcoming changes on the battlefield. In the battle last night, the bandits who attacked by surprise were ambushed, leaving more than 400 bodies behind.
The corpses are now neatly placed in an open space, looking desolate and desolate. Maybe these bandits also have their own families, their own wives, their own lives, and even their own dreams, but now they all
They were corpses, cold corpses.
The cry of vultures rang out in the sky. He looked up and saw more than a dozen vultures hovering here. Perhaps it was because there were more than thirty soldiers standing next to Zhang Xiaowu. These bald beasts did not dare to come down to eat the corpses.
Meat, but refused to leave, could only howl, trying to drive away humans with unpleasant cries.
The cries of the vultures were indeed extremely annoying. Zu Gongmao, who was the best at bow and arrow, hurriedly asked: "Sir, do you need me to drive them away with one arrow?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "It doesn't matter, these beasts are gathered here just to show off to the bandits. If you want to provoke others, you must not provoke me and others."
Xiao Kaidao: "These bandits are really hateful, but generally bandits will not provoke the army, especially since we have nearly a thousand dead soldiers in the camp. So there must be something fishy during this attack on us."
Hu Li said disdainfully: "They have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage."
Zhang Xiaowu said calmly: "People are just dying for money and birds are dying for food. They are not extinct. I'm afraid they will come again."
Shen Lindong suddenly spoke: "The sand bandits were seriously injured. Even when they came, they only made sneak attacks. From then on, when they rushed to Mucheng, the road became even more dangerous." Because of the past, Shen Lindong didn't talk much on weekdays. Now he spoke, which meant that he was gradually getting more and more dangerous.
I really want to be part of this team.
Xiao Kai added: "I'm afraid they will recruit more bandits."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The soldiers will block the water and use the soil to cover up. A group of bandits is nothing to mention. They dare not confront us head-on, but only dare to attack us sneakily. So as long as we are careful, the bandits are nothing more than a mob."
The generals agreed. Zhang Xiaowu looked at the corpses thoughtfully again and said: "This time, although our army won the main battle against the enemy, fifty-three people were killed. Look at the corpses of the sand bandits. Seventy were killed directly by bows and arrows."
Three people, and more than a dozen people were injured by arrows when fighting our army, so killing them with arrows is the most efficient way. Xiao Kai, you ask the former capital team to collect the arrows, and also put away the arrows of the bandits.
, the next time you defend the enemy, use three arrows to scatter to disrupt the enemy."
"Here." Xiao Kai said.
Zhang Xiaowu continued to wander among the corpses. Suddenly he heard Wu Song calling and walked over. He saw Wu Song squatting next to a corpse and said, "This is a Han, not a bandit."
Zhang Xiaowu also noticed that this man had a very strange appearance. He took off the man's clothes and saw that inside the fur coat was actually the clothes of a Han Chinese. He couldn't help but stand up and waved to Chen Boqing: "Master Chen, come here, there is something fishy about this man."
Although Chen Boqing was not afraid of dead people, he was a little reluctant to stand among so many dead people. He heard Zhang Xiaowu's call and walked over. When he saw the corpse, Chen Boqing said "Huh", as if he had discovered something, and squatted next to the corpse.
Examine the body carefully.
Wusong said: "Sir, this man has broad and thick finger joints, but fair skin. He should be a warrior from the Central Plains. The bandits on the grassland are exposed to the wind every day, and their skin is dry, cracked and wrinkled. Especially the joints on the back of the hands often have frostbite left behind.
From the scars underneath, you can see that this person just has thick joints. So I conclude that this person is of noble status."
