Lu Pingming immediately ran to the fallen team member and used his fingers to explore his carotid artery. It was no longer beating. Obviously, the unlucky guy who was shot through the neck by an arrow was no longer worth saving.
The other two who were hit by arrows retreated while wailing.
The people behind directly cut off the arrow shaft with a knife, then held the part of the arrow shaft that had been shot out of the body with the arrowhead and pulled it forward. Amidst the screams, they pulled out the arrow shaft.
Because the arrow has wings, the arrow shaft must be cut off before it can be pulled forward, otherwise the wings will get stuck.
As soon as the arrow shaft came out, blood spurted out like an arrow.
The medical soldier immediately used a first-aid kit to hold down the wound and then tied it up. Battlefield first aid is one of the training subjects. Yang Fan's army is the only army in the world that has a complete battlefield rescue system.
Because Yang Fan knows that the value of one veteran is equal to ten recruits.
On the battlefield, most people were not killed on the spot, but mostly died from complications of infection.
The wounded barracks is the real Palace of Hell.
There were constant wailings all night long. The wounds were suppurating, rotting, and infested with maggots. They died of infection, tetanus, and complications...
In order to save these people, Yang Fan instructed the Xincheng Academy School of Medicine to set up a special antibiotic research and development team. The focus was to replicate the ancient penicillin technology.
In fact, it is very simple. You can use moldy oranges and rapeseed oil to make high-purity penicillin. The effect is as good as modern ones.
Place a large number of oranges on a shelf and let them mold naturally. Then scrape off the blue mildew spots and mildew powder. You will have the strain of penicillin.
Then mix rice water and taro soup to make a culture solution. Put the mold powder in it and keep it at 25 degrees for a week. The mold strains will multiply in the solution.
Then use multiple layers of gauze to filter out the mold and solid matter, and pour the liquid into the rapeseed oil bucket.
After stirring, the liquid will automatically separate into layers. The upper layer is a substance that is soluble in oil, and the middle layer is a substance that is neither water-soluble nor oil-soluble. The lower layer is a solution of penicillin and water. Then insert a bamboo tube through the small hole in the lower layer.
Drain the solution.
Then use carbon powder to absorb it, and then use low-strength rice vinegar to remove impurities. High-purity penicillin can be obtained.
Since the end of last year, with the advent of the miracle drug penicillin, the mortality rate of battlefield casualties has dropped sharply, from 70 to 80 percent to less than 15 percent.
After all, the mortality rate for some seriously injured people is still very high. It is not just a matter of infection.
While the two wounded men were being treated at the back, the shield hand in front opened the horizontal shooting ports on the shield. These shooting ports are two-inch high and ten-inch gaps, with sliding closed steel bars. They can be pulled
It can be turned on or off.
The shield bearer took out the double-barreled musket from his waist. Then he held the shield forward and continued to move forward. He began to search and clear out the enemies from house to house.
After someone was hit by an arrow, the people behind him also crouched down, holding flintlock rifles, and followed.
The Heshuote people on the opposite side reacted quickly. They quickly dispersed and ran to both sides of the street to find cover. Some got into the house through the door.
Those hiding in the street, but unfortunately the street is relatively straight and they can't find many shelters. Some are hiding behind wooden pillars, some are hiding behind water tanks, and some are even hiding behind chicken coops.
In short, regardless of whether these covers can block flintlock rifles, as long as the lead bullets of this kind of long rifle can block the opponent's line of sight, the opponent cannot see you, so naturally you can't aim and shoot.
As the footsteps approached, the greenskins reached a distance of ten steps. At this distance, the Heshuotes no longer dared to step out and shoot arrows, it was too close.
At this distance, a musket is much faster than an arrow. All it takes is pulling the trigger.
Captain Li Dazhong waved his hand, and the five men fired five flintlock rifles at a water tank. They did not see if there was anyone behind.
But they have enough ammunition, so you can give it a try.
Bang bang bang! Five lead bullets directly punched five holes in the water tank at a distance of fifteen meters. It is impossible to miss at this distance.
With a click, the water tank broke into countless pieces and collapsed. Half of the tank's water flowed out.
A Heshuote archer hiding behind immediately fell to the ground. Three lead bullets penetrated the water tank and hit him. He struggled for a few times and then stopped moving. The blood mixed with the water and slipped away.
land.
Soon the Heshuote people could no longer stand it.
These greenskins hide behind bulletproof shields and suddenly stand up and fire. They often focus their fire on one target, which greatly increases the hit rate. Neither wooden pillars nor earthen walls can block large-caliber lead bullets. Mainly these are
Lead bullets are wrapped with small steel balls inside.
Because the further west you go, the higher the armor rate of the opponent, and the higher the armor's protection level. This era is an era when Western plate armor is very popular. Yang Fan's muskets and ammunition must have armor-piercing capabilities.
China's armor is not as good as that of the West, which is the same reason that modern China's firearms are not as accurate as the West. They are both small countries, and they can win based on quality. However, a big country like China fights in a protracted large-corps combat mode, and considers weapons.
Cheapness, production capacity, scale.
The main reason why modern Chinese rifles are inaccurate and pistols jam is that the Chinese region spans many latitudes and has many rivers. In order to swim with arms, firearms must adapt to rivers with high sediment content such as the Yellow River, and they can still be used normally after entering the water.
In this way, the gaps between components must be enlarged so that sediment can fall off and leak out during the vibration of firing. This kind of gun cannot be accurate. Foreign high-precision weapons cannot be used as long as they are placed in such an environment. Sand and soil will jam the firearm.
.
Steel-core bullets are the best armor-piercing weapons. Yang Fan's lead bullets are all wrapped with steel balls. The large-caliber lead bullets of 15 mm can be packed with steel balls of 10 mm or smaller. These steel balls are collected by idiots.
They were scrap products. The price was calculated by the ton. They were all rusty and even damaged.
However, these things are very suitable as steel cores for lead bullets. Rust can cause tetanus, and the damaged steel balls will form a ricochet effect, expanding the torn body cavity, which directly leads to the death or serious injury of the person who was shot.
In desperation, several Heshuote people just dodged out, and before they had time to release their arrows, they were hit by muskets on the side of their shields and fell to the ground. As a result, people hiding behind obstacles were killed. Obviously, they were killed.
Beads can't stop bullets.
The Heshuote people shouted and suddenly poured out from the houses on both sides. They had already understood that it was useless to hide like this. If they stepped out, they would be killed. The shield hand's musket was too fast.
They made up their minds and rushed out to give it a try.
