Although the victory in the battle made people happy, no one could smile when faced with the blood-stained snow on the ground.
Amid the howling cold wind, the battlefield was being cleaned up.
Priority was given to treating the wounded. After a fight, almost all the ordinary soldiers were wounded. The only difference was the severity. There were suppressed screams of pain everywhere.
During the fierce fighting, I still don’t realize that the real trauma after the war is the most depressing. War is always accompanied by the word cruelty.
The lightly injured were simply bandaged and then went to help elsewhere. The screams of the seriously injured were heart-wrenching. Some people said that if a man bleeds but does not shed tears, it is because the pain has not penetrated into the bone marrow. Besides, he defends his family and country and goes into battle to kill the enemy.
I'm injured, so what if I scream twice?
Is it embarrassing?
However, in this season and weather, the situation of the seriously injured is not optimistic. They are so weak that they may not be able to survive a cold night. Yunjing can only secretly use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their bodies and give them more chances to survive.
Yunjing can still take care of the injured, but he can't do anything for those who are missing arms and legs. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth does not have the ability to regenerate broken limbs.
Even if such a disabled soldier survives the initial ordeal, he will have to bid farewell to the battlefield.
They are heroes, real heroes!
Being disabled is their military medal, but if it were possible, who would want to be saddled with a disability?
The military doctors are running around everywhere, but they are needed everywhere, and the scene is unbearable...
Yun Jing has tried his best to save people, but there are inevitably things on the chaotic battlefield that he cannot take care of. Even if the battlefield is within the scope of his telekinesis, death will still inevitably occur.
He is not a god and cannot take care of every corner.
Fortunately, the number of deaths was not high, and this was only compared to the enemy troops.
At the beginning, Liu Fang's logistics force was ambushed and suffered the greatest casualties. By the end of the battle, only more than ninety of their original two hundred people were left, and the rest were laid to rest here forever.
Even if there are more than 90 people who survive, some of them will have to say goodbye to the battlefield forever due to their disabilities...
In addition, there was the rescue team brought by Adjutant He. There were many injured, but very few died. Only a dozen people died. Such a mortality rate was simply unbelievable for a small-scale war.
In a situation where the enemy is almost completely wiped out, it is normal for more than half of your own party to die.
But after the war, only more than ten people died in their rescue team!
It is an unquestionable victory, and it is an overwhelming victory that is worth bragging about for a long time.
This was of course the result of Yun Jing's secret help, but there were still more than a dozen casualties unavoidable, and he tried his best.
After the Li side on the battlefield has sorted out their own statistics, the next step is to really 'clean' the battlefield.
The heads of dead enemies are all chopped off. This is to be taken back. It is merit, reward, and the result of the soldiers' hard work. As for being afraid of carrying a dead head, it is impossible. It is not a dead person.
Head, that’s money, that’s credit!
Then, it would be good to peel off all the weapons, armor, clothes and other items on the enemy's body, leaving a trousers on them. These are trophies, why not?
In today's era, even the poor have to repair the broken bowls at home and continue to use them. It is not embarrassing at all to plunder the clothes of the enemy. People who have never lived a hard life will never know that "frugality" is a kind of thing in their bones.
What kind of status.
Of course, it is impossible to let go of the war horses left by the enemy. The slightly injured and intact war horses can be used directly to arm themselves. As for the seriously injured and dead war horses, there is no other way. They can be slaughtered and skinned on the spot, and the leather can be used for wrapping.
The horse meat of the corpses of comrades can be eaten. It is meat, and there is absolutely no possibility of discarding any of it.
Finally, the enemy's corpses need to be dragged far away, dug in a hole, and buried. This is not out of any humanitarian spirit. They are all sworn enemies. I even tell you the personal story of ghosts. It is purely because I am afraid that these corpses will be buried after the spring.
It just breeds plague.
In short, in one sentence, the battlefield was 'cleaned' very cleanly...
"Sir, our army has 15 dead, 24 disabled, 38 seriously injured, and almost everyone else has minor injuries. I don't know how many of those disabled and seriously injured can survive today, and then there are the logistics
Over at the transport team, we have tried our best to get here, but they still suffered more than half of their casualties. More than 150 people died and more than 90 people were alive. Of those alive, 21 were disabled and 19 were seriously injured..."
After the battlefield was almost cleared, someone came to Adjutant He to report.
After hearing the report, Adjutant He was obviously stunned for a moment, feeling a little disbelieving in his heart. The casualty situation was far beyond expectations. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if the person who reported the report doubled the number several times.
However, this is the fact, and he cannot help but not believe it.
This was an undoubted victory, worthy of a big write-up and a big brag. After all, it was not a huge advantage and it almost wiped out an enemy army of 500 people.
But now is not the time to be happy. Adjutant He suppressed the emotional fluctuations in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Try to treat the wounded as much as possible, and don't let the soldiers bleed and cry."
"Understood," the person reporting the report replied and left immediately.
It is said that we try to treat the injured as much as possible, but given the current medical conditions, most of those who are seriously injured and disabled may not survive. The reality is so cruel.
War is so cruel!
It is precisely because we know the cruelty and tragedy of war that everyone hopes for peace, which is why we say that we would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times...
While cleaning the battlefield, Yunjing was thinking about what the enemy's plot was, and at the same time he was not idle and went around to help.
He still had no clue about the enemy's conspiracy. After all, he was neither a prophet nor a mind reader. The cruelty of the war made him more eager to hope that the war would end and peace would usher in.
Everything was stable. He found Liu Fang and spent a few days with them.
Liu Fang was covered in blood and had numerous wounds on his body, but fortunately there were no fatal injuries. He lay on a damaged bullock cart, staring at the sky in a daze, and allowed the doctor to treat his injuries without blinking.
His right hand was simply bandaged, like a rice dumpling. The doctor said that his hand and the handle of the knife were so stuck together due to the cold, that a layer of skin on his palm was torn off when they were separated!
"Master Liu, are you okay?" Yunjing asked.
Liu Fang twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I can't die."
"The camp received a call for help and we tried our best to come, but it was still a little late," Yun Jing said in a complicated tone.
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Fang said: "I don't blame you. War is like this. No one can predict when death will come. This time is not bad, because the enemy soldiers died more, but I can't
Can’t laugh”
Yunjing opened his mouth, as if something was stuck in his throat, not knowing how to respond. This reminded Yunjing of the simple farewell ceremony before they set off from the camp.
‘May you return safely’
A simple sentence contains endless blessings, but one mission leaves so many people never to return.
Liu Fang's eyes gradually turned red and flashed with tears. He continued to care for himself and said in a hoarse voice: "There are so many brothers. They were fine in the morning. In the blink of an eye, they were all lying down and could no longer speak.
…”
He sniffed and said in a tearful tone: "Master Yun, do you still remember that Wang Xiaoshi? The one who asked you to help write the letter that night, his letter has not been sent back, and he has not been able to go back to fulfill his filial piety.
He was still a child. Before he died, what he was worried about was not his own life or death. Instead, he asked me with his last breath to help him send the letter back, and asked me to help him send back the military salary and future pension he had saved.
, he asked me to convey a message to his family, saying that he could not go back to fulfill his filial piety."
"Do you remember that Niu Xiaoming? He had no family for a long time, and he didn't even know who to write to. He was shot through the chest by the enemy and died. Before he died, he bit the enemy alive.
, he roared with blood in his mouth, he said, he has not brought shame to his hometown, have the villagers seen it?
"besides……"
As he spoke, Liu Fang looked at Yun Jing and smiled miserably: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yun, I'm just in a bad mood. Don't make me laugh, but I still want to say, when will this damn war end?"
"It won't be long before we all see the war end soon," Yunjing comforted. When he said this, he himself didn't have the confidence.
Smiling, Liu Fang waved his hand and said: "I hope to see the war end as soon as possible. Well, Mr. Yun, I'm so tired and want to take a rest. Don't worry, I can't die. I'm just very tired."
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Liu and have a good rest." Yun Dingding nodded and turned around to leave.
At this time, Adjutant He came here, and after a little greeting with Liu Fang, he said: "Mr. Liu, the battlefield is almost done. The injured must be treated as soon as possible. Next, I will send a brigade to escort you back, and then I have to
Go back and resume your life."
"Well, Mr. He is on business. I would like to thank all the soldiers this time, otherwise the rest of us will all die," Liu Fang nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Adjutant He shook his head and said, "Master Liu, please don't say that. I feel guilty for not being able to come in time."
There is actually no point in saying this. Then the army quickly adjusted and assembled, and He Zhengdian specially sent a large number of people to escort them.
Before setting off, Liu Fang struggled to stand up and stubbornly refused to be helped. He glanced at the dead people, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and he shouted: "Brothers, go back, let's go home!"
In the cold wind, his voice carried far and wide, and everyone who heard it had their eyes turned red.
Watching the logistics troops and the seriously injured and disabled people leaving until they disappeared into the distance, Adjutant He looked away and took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, we have to go back to recover."
The army has been reorganized. There were about 450 people when they came, and now there are about 300 people left. One of the groups has almost 100 people escorting Liu Fang and others back.
Also following were seriously injured and disabled people. Such people need to go to Xieyang City for medical treatment. It is unknown whether they can return to the team.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yun Jing glanced at the remaining soldiers who had been tidied up, then raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at these soldiers carefully without leaving any trace.
"So that's it, the enemy army actually had this idea, and took advantage of the chaos to let people sneak into our army. Fortunately, I have the ability to remember things, otherwise they would have succeeded!"
With a sneer in his heart, Yunjing finally discovered the enemy's conspiracy.
Before that, he didn't know what the enemy's conspiracy was, so he didn't pay special attention to it. It's not too late to find out now.
The currently assembled army was infiltrated by enemy troops, who were well disguised.
After all, the previous battlefield was too chaotic, with enemies and ourselves hugging each other and rolling around in the snow everywhere. It was not impossible for someone to take the opportunity to change their clothes and disguise themselves. It was even possible that those who infiltrated the army were soldiers who had joined the army early in the morning.
Just prepare in advance to ambush in the snow.
Yunjing is a human being, not a god. Although telepathy is convenient, he was unable to take care of every corner because of his multitasking. He only wanted to help his own personnel wherever they were in danger, so he did not know the enemy's plot in advance.
In view of this, it also makes sense why the enemy army clearly ambushed Liu Fang and the others in advance, but instead of annihilating them immediately, they delayed the arrival of reinforcements, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to let people sneak in.
So what is the purpose of these people who sneaked in? To assassinate, to poison? To create chaos after returning to the garrison camp?
It's possible!
"Fortunately, I observed the remaining people out of habit," Yunjing said thankfully in his heart.
Then, before Liu Fang and the others were out of the range of his senses, he extended his mind to take a look. There were no enemies infiltrating there. It seemed that the enemy's purpose was specifically to target Zhou Dahu's garrison.
Thinking about it, Liu Fang and the others were going back to Xieyang City. Even if the enemy troops sneaked in, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble there, and they were just seeking death.
Yunjing remembered everyone who went out with the army, and he could tell that the enemies who had sneaked in in disguise were invisible.
After all, they had experienced a brutal fight before, and everyone was in a low mood and silent, wanting to go back as soon as possible. In addition, everyone was in a state of embarrassment. The people who sneaked in had to disguise themselves, even if it was just a simple disguise, but Yun Jing was so careful.
, who would doubt the people around them at this time?
There are five people sneaking in, one is born and four are acquired!
If Yunjing hadn't discovered it in time and asked them to follow the army back to the garrison camp, the consequences would have been disastrous!
