It was raining lightly, and everyone held up the tents one by one in the rain, and put food inside to eat.
The young general said that it might rain until noon tomorrow, just like that.
The army that has already won the battle obviously does not need to rush forward unless it abandons the wounded among its prisoners.
None of the wounded soldiers of the Ming Army died. Some of them had persistent fevers and were physically cooled down and given medicine. They were also given canned meat and canned fruits.
Xu Da has not eaten a morsel of canned fruit from the time he set off until now. He has to take out the wounded if he has his own.
People with persistent fevers are also very strong-willed and work hard to fight against the pain. For twelve hours, comrades will take turns to stay by their side to cool down the physical body.
Wipe your body with alcohol, wrap ice cubes in a handkerchief, and place them on your armpits, forehead, and neck.
As for where the ice comes from, of course it is made of saltpeter! Specially prepared for the sustained fever of the wounded.
Seeing the comrades like this, those who have a fever don't want to give up. If you persist for one more day, you will get better. If you persist for one more day...
The young general thought the same way, and persisted. It was raining, and the wound on his leg was aching faintly, jumping.
"Xinge, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xu Da saw the young general's expression change.
"It's okay, the wound is jumping." The young general is familiar with this feeling.
"Xiao Zhu, you take care of it for him and let Xiaohang do the roasting." Xu Da ordered the soldiers who were roasting rabbits.
"I'm here." Xiaohang came in from the door wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. The curtain was not lowered. From here, you could see the rain outside.
Xiao Zhu went to wash her hands and brought the medical kit over: "Your external wound is closed, internal body fluids are secreted, and the pressure increases, which amplifies the heartbeat rhythm.
Just open a small opening in the outer closed area and squeeze out the pus and blood. The pain during this process can be tolerated. "
He first explained the reason to the young general, and then took action to deal with it. A needle would be enough. Then squeeze it again, and the pressure would disappear, and there would be no more jumping.
Many of the soldiers of Xu Da and other generals are responsible for treating the wounded. To put it bluntly, it is training. Only when they practice well can they handle the general more safely when he is injured.
He changed the gauze and bandage for the young general, washed his hands, picked up the raincoat and bamboo hat, put them on, and stood outside holding the revolving flintlock gun.
The young general ate a piece of rabbit meat, sipped some more wine, and squinted his eyes: "I haven't had any wine in half a year, and the internal situation is not stable. Wang... Baobao is being attracted by all parties."
"According to the marching speed, we can reach Helin City in less than ten days. Does Xinge think Helin can fight?" Xu Da had a purpose in asking the young general to come here.
"General Xu, either attack Helin quickly now, or wait a little longer. If Wang Baobao is defeated, he will inevitably gather troops from other places and return to Helin.
Later, King Qin's troops from various places went to Helin. If we took the risk, we would march to Helin and attack by force.
If the army has enough ammunition, they can also surround the point for reinforcements. You need to be prepared for Wang Baobao to lead his army to attack at any time, or if he wants to run away. "
The young general analyzed the current situation. He didn't know what Wang Baobao was thinking. He only knew that after Wang Baobao returned, Aiyou Shili Dara saw his failure and promised to let the troops from other places serve the king.
"We still have two armies, and with the momentum of three armies, we will join forces at Helin." Lan Yu said the Ming army's deployment next to him.
"Is there such a firearm?" the young general asked.
"The Ming army has 10% of the previous firecrackers, 20% of the current new firearms, and the other two armies have 50,000 people each." Lan Yu nodded.
"According to my opinion, it is better to wait. When King Qin's army arrives, Bei Yuan should not escape immediately, at least there can be a fight.
The other two armies of our Ming Dynasty must be unstoppable, because many troops have been mobilized to serve the king.
Even if they stick to their original place, they will think about the dangerous war with Lin and wait anxiously for new information every day. "
The young general's title was changed to "We Da Ming". He hoped that the Ming army would win the battle so that he could follow him back to enjoy the blessings.
He saw the Ming army's attitude towards prisoners, not to mention the treatment of the wounded among the prisoners.
Is this behavior just to take people back alive and behead them?
If you become a slave, will some wounded people still die? In his opinion, medicine is more precious than slaves.
"Drink!" Xu Da was satisfied with the analysis given by the young general and held the cup.
"Thank you, General Xu." The young general took another sip and was reluctant to drink it. The wine had ginseng soaked in it. It was a bit bitter when drinking, but the aftertaste was sweet. Good wine!
Half an hour later, the young general got a can of sea fish, the kind soaked in oil, and was happily sent back to his tent, shielded from the rain.
He drank two cups of wine today. Since he had not drank for a long time, he felt dizzy and very comfortable.
It was raining continuously outside, and many of the injured needed to have their pus drained and their dressings changed.
The cooking soldiers responsible for cooking began to count the firewood. They took the firewood with them when going out, and also took oilcloth bags and put them into sacks.
The other is coke, which burns for a long time, provides a lot of heat, and produces less smoke once it burns.
I usually don't want to use it when I'm on the road, so I just collect firewood nearby. I used it once when I was fighting in the rain, and I will use it again today.
So for dinner, everyone had wild vegetable soup cooked with snake meat and rabbit meat and rabbit bones. The staple food was pancakes, and even the prisoners did not have to eat fried highland barley.
Snake meat does not contain snake skin. The snake skin can be wrapped around the handle of a knife or the hand of a bow. The texture of the snake skin makes it easier to hold.
"Can you still make pasta?" When he saw the cake, the young general rubbed his eyes with his hands, looked again to make sure he was not dazzled, and turned to ask Xiao Zhu next to him.
He felt that the Ming army was not here to fight, so why did they bring so many 'useless' things? On a rainy day, drink hot soup and eat pancakes, my God!
"I brought flour, of course I was going to make pasta. When it rained, I was afraid that the flour would get damp, so I took out some pancakes.
As you said, it will rain until noon tomorrow. If you bake more cakes now, you won’t have to cook anymore tomorrow morning and noon.
I made some soup and ate pancakes and pickles. It was hot and humid, I was sweating a lot, and my whole body was sticky. "
Xiaozhu gave the reason: once you bake the cake, you can eat three meals, which saves trouble and worry.
The young general nodded helplessly: "Listen to what you said, it does make sense. It's the rainy season in the grassland, and it will rain twice in three days.
You should collect more dry firewood when the weather is sunny, so you can always have hot meals and you will be less likely to get sick.
Usually at this time, people around you will get sick, and you can't always eat hot food. "
"Don't worry, we have enough reserves. It's mainly for the sake of the wounded. You see you are happy to eat now."
"Yes, yes! The cakes are sweet to eat. After we ran here, there were few pots, but the people above them took a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."
"Our Ming Emperor spent money from the palace to equip us with these. Each of us brings rock candy separately. When we have no food, we eat some candy and drink water. Although we are still hungry, we can survive."
"You can now send out an army to fight against He Linpao's King Qin's army, ambush them halfway, and make a sneak attack." The young general suddenly talked about the war.
The seventh update is completed. There is no news today. Thank you brothers and sisters for your support! The farmer bowed!
