The wind blew up and down, and the clouds in the sky were torn into strands.
The sun above our heads seemed so hot, and scavenging birds were hovering in the sky, as if they were about to come down for a feast at any time.
There are no wild animals around the battlefield, not because they have fled away in advance, but because once they encounter the army, they will definitely be shot.
The Ming soldiers who were eating everywhere were laughing, while those on guard were swallowing their saliva and waiting.
And listening to the words of the person who was treating him, the prisoner felt wronged and felt tired. People who had called him from such a distance had delicious food, so he only had highland barley fried noodles and bitter salt.
"Hey! It's hot, do you have to drag me to a cool place? I'm injured, and the wound will rot once it's exposed to the sun.
In the past, when we were fighting, people in our team would not pay much attention to minor injuries, and then the wounds would turn white, and pus would continue to ooze.
Then his whole body was hot, his body was twitching, and he died one night. Could it be that I was the same, being burned by the sun? "
The wounded prisoner discussed talking to the person who was treating him and wanted to go somewhere cooler.
"You have a lot on your hands. Take it and I'll drag it over for you. Just be patient and lift your injured leg."
The man asked the other person to hold the rice jar, dragged him to the shade of the tent, put it down and took back his own rice jar.
"Thank you! I feel like I won't live much longer. My body will be very hot tonight, and I will say words that others can't understand."
"You can pull it off! I gave you medicine for your wounds. They are all good medicines. I also debrided and sutured them, and wrapped them with gauze.
Your person who died before had a deep wound that became infected and got tetanus. It was not a minor injury.
Yours actually penetrated the leg, and there are still two projectiles in the leg, which did not touch the blood vessels. Do you see a lot of bleeding?
Don't worry if you have a fever at night. There is medicine. I will take care of you. If you don't cause trouble, I will keep you alive. "
The people of the Ming Army obviously knew a lot. They explained to the other party, mainly to appease the other party, otherwise the other party would not be able to think about it and they would have to kill people again.
"Although I didn't understand much, I thought it was very powerful. Is the medicine you gave me expensive?" The wounded prisoner asked more questions if he wanted to live.
"Do you think life-saving things are expensive?"
"Give it to me, is it worth it? You won't have enough by then..."
"You are not enough! No one of us died today, and the injured ones were injured accidentally."
"I was wrong. Your firecracker hit too far. After the battle, if I survive, will you take me back and behead me?"
"I worked so hard to get so many good medicines just to kill you? You have to work for us. Don't worry, I won't tire you out to death.
They just work normally, are given food, can be fed well, and are given medical treatment if they are injured.
But there is no wages, and I don’t know how long I will work. Anyway, deserters are just going to work when they are caught. "
"I know how to raise horses. You tell your people."
"Do you need to raise horses? Eat quickly, and then I have to tie your hands. I can't let you cause trouble during the war."
"Let me tell you something, General Wang. No, Wang Baobao's general He Zongzhe has 16,000 cavalry, one man and two cavalrymen.
Walking ahead, there is a mountain about twenty miles away, surrounded by grass as tall as a person.
They are hiding behind the hill. I feel that General Wang, no, Wang Baobao wants to lure you over. "
"How did you know?"
"I'm a young general, why don't I know?"
"Then why did you tell me? Aren't you the one who betrayed you?"
"My relatives are all dead. My mother-in-law was killed by He Zongzhe's soldiers... I have always thought about revenge! If you let me live, I will..."
"You wait." The Ming army soldier stood up and called others to come over and take care of him while he went to report.
Not long after, Xu Da and Lan Yu came over.
"Did you take medicine?" Xu Da put his hand on the forehead of the wounded prisoner, and then on his own forehead: "It's a little hot."
"General, he is injured and his fever is normal. I will give him other medicine after eating. He mainly needs to rest." The Ming army soldier replied.
"Here, eat a can. If the situation is true, you will be promoted immediately." Xu Da took the can when he came and gave one to one of his own.
He took another one and opened it. It was a can of lean pork. It was all meat, compacted and of military quality.
"I am Xu Da. Come, eat meat. This is something only generals can eat. You provide information and we will avenge you. Then you go to Daming and we will not allow you to mine."
Xu Da handed the can to the other party and promised, but at the same time he was frightened.
He had wanted to chase Wang Baobao before, but he held it back because he told himself time and time again that His Majesty would not allow him to pursue him too far and that he had to fight slowly and steadily.
As a result, so many cavalry were hiding behind a mountain, waiting for them to rush over.
If we are chasing Wang Baobao, the team will be stretched, and the flank will suddenly be attacked by cavalry...
Bad! Wang Baobao was so bad and cruel. In order to deceive himself, he actually gave up so many people and baggage.
Sure enough, you can't chase him in wild battles, and you have to be careful of his guerrilla warfare.
The wounded prisoner naturally knew who Xu Da was. He took a look at the can and said, "How is this packed? Are you not afraid of damage?"
"It won't break down after a year and a half. What does the mountain where He Zongzhe hides look like?" Xu Da quickly asked the key thing.
"Broken Rock Mountain, the mountain is full of gravel, and there is no water on the mountain. The high place is fifty or sixty feet, and the low place is twenty or thirty feet, which is not big.
Anyone who has seen it knows that it is impossible to ambush people in the mountains, but the grass is high and there are many small rivers next to it. Sometimes the rivers will change their course in winter.
If you go up, it will end like Ma Su, you will be surrounded and the water will be cut off. "
This young captive actually talked about the generals from the Three Kingdoms period, and it seemed that he didn't give it in vain.
"Is Broken Rock Mountain steep?" Xu Da asked again.
"It's so steep! What's the use of that? If you go up there, you'll die of thirst. The enemy will surround you without attacking. After a few days, you'll have to run down. You can even find grass to smoke."
The young general also explained the tactics clearly to the captives. The mountain was useless, but now it can help people hide on the other side.
"Okay! If it's as you said, you won't have to work anymore after the battle is won." Xu Da nodded, turned and left.
He had to make arrangements, which was to send the cavalry to go around far away and use telescopes to observe. For example, if the enemy also had scouts, it would be obvious that the young general was not lying.
"Do you generals still have this good stuff? I can't finish it, can I exchange it with someone else? Give the leftovers to others, and when the time comes, others will have it and give it to me."
The young captive told the man who was treating him that he wanted to keep it and eat it later.
"If you can't finish it, it's okay to put it in the evening. You can eat it at night. These are all lean meat, called protein, and fat meat is called fat.
For wound healing, protein is needed most, and for brain function, fat or sugar will do.
Eat it quickly! Don't look at what I'm holding, I want to keep it. I haven't opened this one yet, so I won't exchange it with you. "
The soldier responsible for guarding and treating the young captives carried his own can in his arms.
Fix an error. Previously, the farmer confused Zhang Cundao with He Zongzhe. He Zongzhe was Wang Baobao's general, and Zhang Cundao was with Tang He. The farmer made a mistake when copying and pasting. It has been corrected. Sorry!
