Zhao Xin brought two individual first aid kits with him when he set out from the camp. He and Liu Sheng each took one and hung it on the lower right side of the chest of the body armor.
At this time, Li Ji knelt on the ground and screamed in pain. Zhao Xin looked at the wound and saw that there was not much blood flowing out of his cotton pants. He asked Li Ji to take off half of his pants to expose the wound. The arrow wound was not serious because Zhao Xin pulled it out
There was no barb on the arrowhead, so not much flesh was taken out. Zhao Xin visually determined that the depth of the wound was about five or six centimeters.
He asked Lu Shoushan to hold Li Ji's back, then took out the iodophor solution from the first aid kit, poured it on Li Ji's wound and rinsed it, then took out the medical adhesive, squeezed it on the opened flesh, and used his thumb to
Press a few times; finally open the trauma first aid kit, wrap the gauze with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs on the injured area, and then stick it with adhesive plaster.
Done!
"Wait a minute, why do I have the tendency to develop into a medical soldier?" Zhao Xin suddenly thought of this. "Wouldn't it be a waste of time to recruit a pair of doctors, nurses and a veterinarian? No, no, after this battle I have to
Get them over quickly."
When Li Ji stood up, Zhao Xin heard the rustling sound in his clothes, so he curiously asked Li Ji what was in his pocket.
Li Ji was afraid that Zhao Xin would blame him, so he was worried and hesitant and slowly took out a handful of bullet casings from his pocket.
"Master, these are all made of copper. It would be a pity to lose them."
Zhao Xin laughed: "Okay, it's all installed. I can still use it when I take it back."
Speaking of which, who can sell new bullets if they can be reloaded?
"Ah~ Liji is injured?" Liu Sheng walked over and asked in surprise.
Zhao Xin patted Li Ji's shoulder and said, "It's just a minor injury. An arrow hit my butt. Fortunately, the cotton pants are thick enough."
"Is there any water? I'm so thirsty." Liu Sheng sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
The water was in his backpack. Zhao Xin originally wanted to ask Lu Shoushan to get it, but after thinking about it, he decided to go alone. He was afraid that Lu Shoushan would drop the monocular telescope, which he bought on the other side of the ocean for more than 10,000 yuan.
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Xin came back with his backpack, took out a water bottle from the bag and handed it to Liu Sheng.
Zhao Xin put his backpack on the ground. He didn't know why, but he walked up to the Qing armored soldier who was killed by him. The dead Qing soldier was lying on his side on the ice, and the blood clots sprayed from the back of his head had become frozen.
The icy river water blends into one, but because of the bright red color, it is incompatible with the pure ice surface.
The Qing army, which had been frozen into pinkish white, was just lying on his side, with his dark but chapped hands stretched out towards the road. It seemed that what he wanted to do most before dying was to go home. Zhao Xin looked at the man's long face.
Without daring to turn his face with the beard, he suddenly noticed the fuzz on the other person's lips and the distorted face, and then he felt that this armored soldier did not seem to be very old.
"Is he twenty?" Zhao Xinru thought.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Liu Sheng held the water bottle and shouted while standing more than 20 meters behind Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin raised his eyes and glanced at the corpses of the Qing soldiers, then turned and walked back. He felt that his steps became messy and heavy, as if there were hundreds of kilograms of weight on his shoulders; boredom and confusion began to linger in his heart.
, everything in front of him seemed to become extremely strange, Liu Sheng, Li Ji, Sheng Haizhou, and Lu Shoushan all looked a little hateful, which made him feel eager to escape to another time and space.
Lu Shoushan came over and asked, "Master, what should I do with these corpses?"
"."
"Master? Are you okay?"
Zhao Xin resisted the urge to touch the jade pendant. He walked to the bank of the river, grabbed a handful of residual snow from the ground, and rubbed it hard on his face twice, and then he felt a little more awake.
"I'll go back and call for help later. They'll bury them all when they come."
"Lord!" Sheng Haizhou ran over from behind. Zhao Xin slowly turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"A rough inspection of the corpses of the Qing soldiers showed that there were only eighty of them." Sheng Haizhou said.
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and then asked: "Lu Shoushan, have you counted how many of them there are in the morning?"
Lu Shoushan recalled it for a while and replied affirmatively: "Ninety-eight. Elu and I have counted it several times, and it can't be wrong."
Zhao Xin walked a few steps and said to Liu Sheng: "The Qing soldiers did not come with them."
Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Xin's flushed face and probably understood what was going on. He pretended to be relaxed and nodded: "You can't go directly across the ice. Although it's close, it's easy to be discovered."
After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his head and asked Elu: "You, what is your name?"
"Elu, Mr. Liu." Lu Shoushan quickly helped answer.
"Oh. Shoushan, you and this Elu have to work hard again. You two go east, north along the seaside, and circle back to our observation point. After you find out the location of the Qing troops..."
Before Liu Sheng finished speaking, Zhao Xin suddenly interrupted: "Are you still waiting for them to come back to report the news? The day lilies are already cold!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Xin felt that his head was still a little dizzy, so he picked up a handful of snow and rubbed it on his face a few times, and said in front of everyone's surprised eyes: "Aren't the dozen armored soldiers tied up? Two people were left to guard the prisoners.
, whoever makes any move will be beaten to death. The rest of us will come together! We have beaten more than 80 armored soldiers, and the remaining 20 have been eliminated quickly. As time goes on, the night will be long and the dream will be endless."
Seeing Liu Sheng's agreement, Zhao Xin immediately said to Sheng Haizhou: "Please ask Wan Zao to come over. I have something to tell him. Li Ji and he will stay behind to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the people will follow."
After a while, Wan Zao, who was called over by Sheng Haizhou, walked over with a gun in one hand and a knife in the other with a happy face.
Zhao Xin told Wan Zao that he and Li Ji would stay and guard the Jia soldiers prisoners together, and the specific treatment would be discussed after he came back. If the prisoners made any abnormal movements, they would be shot to death.
After hearing this, Wan Zao agreed with a sad face. As he walked, his pockets made a rustling sound.
Zhao Xin then ordered everyone to check the magazines and replenish bullets immediately.
As soon as Elu heard from Lu Shoushan that Zhao Xin decided to continue chasing the other soldiers, he raised his head and looked around. He walked to the slope of the river bank and picked out four or five majestic horses from the horses that had fled to the river bank.
After returning home, he began to unload the bag containing the bow and arrow from the saddle, took it off a dead leader and put it on his body, and found a sword and hung it on his waist.
"It's good to have horses! Otherwise, we would have to run more than ten miles from the river valley to the landing point of the armored soldiers in the north." Zhao Xin thought as he swayed on his horse.
More than forty minutes later, Zhao Xin and others came to the back of a small hill, and Elu was sent to conduct reconnaissance. This place was only one kilometer away from the observation post he had set up.
"This piece of shit is so uncomfortable." Liu Sheng, who wanted to experience what it felt like to wear cotton armor, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He tore it off from his body and threw it on the horse's back.
"Take it back and change it so that it can be worn by Sheng Haizhou and the others. The cotton armor is quite thick, but it is too heavy." Zhao Xin took off his helmet and moved his neck.
When he had nothing to do, Zhao Xin asked Liu Sheng, "That set of general armor is pretty good, why don't you keep it?"
"No, that thing is too ostentatious to wear. It's like a light bulb in the crowd." Liu Sheng shook his head.
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes and had another crooked idea, and then said: "After cleaning the battlefield, take them away. We will sell these things to the islanders in the spring."
Liu Sheng squinted at the cotton armor on Zhao Xin's body and said disdainfully: "Can an island country want this?"
Zhao Xin was full of confidence: "If you don't believe me, make a bet. I will definitely grab it."
The two continued to joke quietly for a while, then heard the sound of running from dozens of meters away, and then stopped talking.
Elu came back. He walked up to Zhao Xin, knelt down on one knee and talked to Zhao Xin for a long time. Zhao Xin rolled his eyes. He thought that Chinese classes must continue, and the dream of all the people learning tongue twisters is still there.
It didn’t come true.
Elu finished speaking in one breath, took off the water bag from his waist and drank. Lu Shoushan then said to Zhao Xin: "Master, he said he just went to see it, and there were two sentry soldiers, and the rest were resting in the forest.
Oh, there are two leaders leading the team. Erlu said that he can knock down the two armored soldiers on guard by himself."
After Zhao Xin listened, he turned to Liu Sheng and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "This won't work. Shoushan, ask him to draw the positions of the Qing soldiers on the ground."
After Elu listened, he thought carefully for a while, and then drew the positions of all the armored soldiers on the snow.
Liu Sheng watched Elu finish the painting, raised his head and asked him: "Are you sure what you painted is accurate?"
Elu just nodded and said nothing.
"That's it..." Liu Sheng lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a while, and then expressed his thoughts.
Liu Sheng asked Elu, Lu Shoushan and Pan Xiucheng to serve as bait and take on the task of luring the enemy. He asked Elu not to shoot the two sentries to death, but to just shoot them, so as to attract the armored soldiers in the forest to come out to rescue them. He also attracted the attention of the armored soldiers.
After the force was reached, the five Sheng Haizhou men moved west and covered from the south, shooting the armored soldiers twenty meters away. As for Zhao Xin and himself, they went around to the north of the sentry position, shot and rescued the armored soldiers from a long distance, and gradually moved westward.
Move and cut off the Qing soldiers' route of escaping north.
After Zhao Xin heard this, he immediately issued orders to everyone according to Liu Sheng's ideas, and asked everyone to repeat their respective tasks under Liu Sheng's reminder.
Thirty minutes later, Elu and the others quietly hid behind a dead tree that fell to the ground. After waiting for a while, Elu stood up and looked over to confirm where the sentry was standing. Then he bent down and slowly took out the bag from his waist.
Slowly draw out a plum needle arrow and set it up.
Then, he stood up suddenly, and when the armored soldier turned around with the spear in hand and the back of his right hand facing him, he raised his hand and shot at him, and then immediately lay down.
There was a "Boom~" sound from the bowstring, and the palm of the armored soldier's right hand had been pierced by an arrow. He screamed, turned around and hid behind a tree.
"Thieves are attacking!" Another sentry immediately dodged and hid behind a big tree, shouting into the woods to the west.
Just a moment after he finished speaking, more than ten long arrows flew out from the forest and flew over the heads of Elu and the three of them.
It was quiet in the bare woods, and occasionally figures could be seen moving. The dozen armored soldiers did not charge directly, but hid behind the trees and continued to fire arrows in the direction pointed by the sentry.
Although the Qing soldiers only shot one or two arrows at a time, as soon as the three of Elu and the others showed their heads, several arrows immediately shot over. The whizzing sound of arrows in the forest continued for a moment.
After Erlu and the three of them poked their heads several times to attract the attention of the Qing soldiers, they found that there were already more than a dozen long arrows stuck in the big tree lying down, and they were all deeply pierced into the wood.
Lu Shoushan and Pan Xiu attracted the attention of the armored soldiers, lying behind the tree and shouting curses in Manchu to annoy each other.
At this time, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were hiding behind two big trees. Zhao Xin was no better than Liu Sheng. He lay on the ground and held a gun with his backpack. Seeing the firepower of the Qing soldiers shooting at Elu and the three of them,
He then found the armored soldiers at the back and began to shoot at them.
Several bullets whistled through the woods. After hearing this, all the armored soldiers looked up to the sky in surprise.
"What's the sound? Is it a bird?" a soldier asked quietly.
"I've never heard this kind of bird call." Another soldier said.
"What is that?" The soldier who asked asked carefully recalled in his mind which beasts could make such a sound.
"Pfft." An armored soldier ten steps away behind him suddenly fell to the ground.
"Narbu." The armored soldier suddenly turned around, looked at him strangely for a while, and then softly called the other party's name.
"Nalb?" The armored soldier who fell on the ground still didn't respond after being called a second time.
The armored soldier who called him felt bad when he saw that the other party still didn't respond, so he turned around and ran over.
He found a large stream of blood slowly flowing out from under his companion, and then probed the other person's mouth and nose.
"Narb is dead!" he shouted as he turned his companion's body over with force. He saw a bloody hole the size of a finger on the other's back heart, and the blood flowed out from here.
The armored soldier suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Xin's position as if he was aware of it. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a cold feeling in his throat. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his neck. The whistling sound sounded again, and a sound began to come out of the armored soldier's mouth.
With blood dripping from his buttocks, he bowed his head weakly and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
Immediately afterwards, there was a "tacking" sound from the south of the group of armored soldiers. Several armored soldiers were horrified to see a burst of debris exploding from the big tree next to them, and then they saw something appearing on the big tree.
A small pit.
Just when a soldier was about to shout "witchcraft", he found that there were not many companions still standing around him.
The armored soldier, whose legs were trembling with fear brought by the whistling and silence, was about to turn around and run to find his horse, when a long arrow was shot from behind, hitting him in the middle.
The fallen armored soldier got up dizzy, and when he was about to continue running forward, a small man in a dark cotton robe turned out from behind a big tree more than ten steps away, with the helmet hanging on his head.
He was shaking, holding a strange iron object in his hands and pointing it at himself.
Two gunshots rang out, and the armored soldier immediately fell to the ground, and blood quickly flowed out from his body.
(According to the "Hunchun Deputy Commander's Yamen Manchu Archives", the Eight Banners Manchurian garrison officers and soldiers had very strict training requirements for bow and arrow skills. Because the old Manchu customs were mainly about bows and horses, in the early and mid-Qing Dynasty, the garrison officers and soldiers were required to have these two skills.
Skill level is particularly important.
Hunchun City has special martial arts performance halls and archery halls for regular drills, and large-scale reviews are held every spring and autumn.
The assessment requirements for bows and arrows are as follows: During the assessment, each soldier shoots five arrows at a target a hundred paces away. Those who can hit three or more arrows on the target are considered first-class, and those who hit two arrows are qualified. Ten soldiers form a team, and each team has seven qualified people.
If there are only five qualified people but three of them are first-class, the merits and demerits will be offset; if the number of qualified people reaches five and none of them are first-class or less than five are qualified, the officer of the squad will report to the Ministry of War for dismissal, and the soldiers will be strictly punished.
Punishment; if there is no improvement after one year, all officers and soldiers of the team will be dismissed and punished.)
