After Ji Shi treated the wound on the old soldier's arm, he immediately came to Mu Li's side.
In terms of injuries, the old soldier's injuries seemed to be more serious than Mu Li's.
But the actual situation is exactly the opposite. Although the wound that looks like ten centimeters is a bit scary, it does not damage the bones. Therefore, after the bleeding is stopped, as long as there is no infection or inflammation, it is just a skin injury. In a few days, the wound will be damaged. After the scars have healed, the veteran warrior can recover.
But Mu Li's injuries were in the internal organs, and even though he still had fighting ability at the moment, if the wounds were not treated properly, he might lose his life.
The injury on the chest was okay and did not damage the lungs. The injury on the lower abdomen was much more serious and had already injured the small intestine. Although the bleeding has been stopped now, after returning, the wound needs to be cleaned with salt water again.
If the limbs are inflamed and infected, it will not be fatal in a short period of time, but if the internal organs are inflamed and infected, it will be troublesome. If it causes organ failure, the tribe's current medical conditions can directly give up treatment.
In the past, soldiers were injured in the internal organs area. Many of the wounds were not cleaned properly. Instead, the internal organs became inflamed and infected, and the mortality rate was very high.
It wasn't until Ye Qiong injured the soldiers that they had to be washed with salt water when they returned to the tribe, that the death rate gradually dropped.
This process actually has a professional term, which is...
Debridement!
The process was still very painful.
Salt is a rare commodity, but it is nothing compared to the lives of the soldiers.
With the increase in the population base of the tribe, although there is no problem with food now, things like salt are becoming more and more scarce. Ye Qiong has been having a headache about this problem, but there is nothing he can do about it. Back then in the Dinglong Mountains Inside, if it weren't for looking for salt, we wouldn't have discovered the ruined area.
In Ye Qiong's impression, in the ancient times of the earth, salt was no different from currency. Like sugar and gunpowder, it was a strategic material.
If the salt problem can be solved, the storage time of the meat in the tribe can be extended a lot.
When I was on the west side of the Dinglong Mountains, I was really worried, but after visiting the Na Ning tribe's dike base, Ye Qiong had some new ideas.
But first we need to determine whether the sea water over there is salty.
Don't take it for granted that sea water is salty. After all, this is not the earth. You need to go and taste it to know.
When we were at the dike base a while ago, if there was no threat from those sea beasts, we could go and have a look. However, those sea beasts had just retreated. If we went there rashly, if we rushed out, there would be no natural barrier on the seaside and we would be surrounded. It's troublesome.
"Buzz..."
After the two Red Flame Leopard warriors who were fighting with Shi Le and the others ran away, Da Qin, who was above the treetops, jumped down a few times and climbed down the trunk of a big tree.
After landing, he came to the snowy wolf hiding behind the snowdrift.
After holding the reins around the neck of the snowy demon wolf, he jumped lightly onto his back and rode towards Ji Shi and the others.
Several people gathered together, and a few minutes later, the two veteran soldiers each brought a few people back, then blew the assembly whistle directly here, and then got into the dense forest again.
Ten minutes later, the team all gathered together. There were originally only nineteen people in the team, but now there were a few more. It was a team patrolling in the dense forest.
Looking at the Red Flame Leopard's footprints on the ground extending toward the northwest, if you follow the footprints and pursue them, it is still possible to catch up.
In the dense forest, in a short period of time, the speed of the Red Flame Leopard can surpass the speed of the Snow Demon Wolf by a long way, but over a long period of time, the gap between the two will be smaller, and the Snow Demon Wolf's endurance will be better.
After counting the number of people, the casualty report came out.
One person was shot and killed, and two people were caught up while running. If it hadn't been for the cry of evacuation from the Red Flame Leopard tribe, the two people would have been gone, with some injuries on their bodies, but fortunately they were not fatal.
…
After hearing the police whistle, the wooden house base immediately entered top combat readiness. At the same time, a cavalry team of thirty people was arranged, entered the dense forest, and rushed in the direction of the police whistle.
Most of them will definitely stay here at the wooden house base. A team will be sent there mainly for support and response.
Ruin area.
After Ye Qiong came out of the black room, he immediately gathered the team together. The tribesmen and soldiers working in the ruins area were divided into two waves and all gathered together.
The tribesmen who migrated this time were basically capable of fighting, or at least able to protect themselves. After gathering together, together with several soldiers, they rushed towards the wooden house base with weapons in hand.
There is little defensive value in the ruins area, so Ye Qiong's requirement for the battle here is that after the police whistle sounds, gather together and return to the wooden house base first.
In the wooden house base, these tribesmen who can fight can also exert their greatest value. Now in the wooden house base, there are already hand-held crossbows. Standing on the arrow tower and shooting downwards, the power is no more than that of a half-power archer. The arrows are small.
If they stay in the ruins area here and engage in close hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, these tribesmen will not be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
Several warriors led all the tribesmen and started trotting towards the wooden house base with weapons in hand. It was definitely impossible to sprint back for a distance of six or seven kilometers. They also needed to maintain combat effectiveness on the road to deal with emergencies. As long as they were halfway Just rush back to the cabin base within an hour.
The timeline of large-scale wars will be very long. In ancient wars on Earth, shorter wars involving tens of thousands of people would take several weeks, and longer ones, such as siege battles, would take many weeks. I can fight for several years.
Even in the era of thermal weapons, a battle involving a thousand people would take at least several hours.
In half an hour, when they arrived at the wooden house base, even if the battle had already begun, they could participate in the battle as a surprise force.
The remaining people in the ruins area were all front-line warriors of the tribe. A total of twenty people, led by Hua Huangji, came to Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong took a snowy devil wolf from a soldier's hand, turned over and rode on it, and then led the soldiers from the ruins area into the dense forest where the whistle sounded.
The entire ruined area was a bustling scene two minutes ago. Two minutes later, there was no one left, and only a few blazing bonfires remained...
