Walking in the army, Zhao Shu watched the doctors saving people. Zhao Shu frowned. There were too few doctors in the army and they were simply too busy.
Moreover, due to the lack of professional equipment, some soldiers who lost too much blood were simply waiting to die.
As a soldier, Zhao Shu naturally knew how to give first aid on the battlefield, but in the case of excessive blood loss, without professional equipment, knowledge of the soldiers' blood types in advance, and no blood reserves, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing his brothers bathed in blood wailing and dying, this scene had a great impact on Zhao Shu. Because of the victory in the war, the joy that had just emerged dissipated in an instant.
At this time, Li Ji, who was patrolling the army, saw Zhao Shu who was in a daze and couldn't help but come over.
The two stood there for a long time.
"Do you think this scene is too cruel? You watch them die, but you can't do anything about it. Do you feel endless guilt and bitterness?"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Shu looked at Li Ji in surprise. Seeing Zhao Shu looking over, Li Ji said in a deep voice, "This scene is too common. You will get used to it in the future."
"When the Great Qin Dynasty came out of Hangu Pass, who could compete with the great Qin warriors? All these prestige and reputations were gained by the fallen old Qin people one by one."
"Every inch of land in Great Qin is filled with the blood of the old Qin people."
Li Ji patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Fortunately, we see hope, don't we?"
"Yes, the union of the world with Qin is the dream of all kings and the people of Qin." Zhao Shu nodded, and the sadness in his heart was diluted by Li Ji's words.
At this moment, his desire to make contributions became stronger. He knew in his heart that Daqin was in a barbaric state, and he had the ability to change everything.
He wants to achieve great success, get into the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, and then try to change Great Qin.
In this way, the military doctors kept busy. After the other soldiers bandaged their wounds, they ate dry food and drank cold water to rest.
Li Ji ordered thousands of soldiers to bring back all Zhao Jun's horses, and arranged for lightly injured soldiers to sort out the horses that had been killed in the battle.
The vanguard army had a mouthful of hot food for the first time in three days. Bodies were lying around, and the smell of blood was pungent, but no one moved.
Now that they have experienced the war, the most important thing they need to do is to recover their physical strength and then take good care of their injuries. Even if it is midsummer, it is not a big problem if they do not deal with corpses for a day.
The only thing that affects the living people is the fishy stench that can be smelled everywhere.
But compared to life and death, this is not a problem at all.
…
The next day.
"General, news came from the knights of the vanguard army that the scout battalion was deceived by Zhao Jun. Yesterday, our vanguard army encountered 5,000 Zhao army cavalry at the fifth watch."
Sima of the Chinese army turned towards Yang Duanhe: "Because the five hundred masters were the first to notice, they warned in advance, and led their troops to attack, delaying the Zhao army's attack."
"Then General Li Ji organized the army to join forces and charge. In this battle, our army killed 5,000 Zhao soldiers and lost half of them. The remaining soldiers were all injured."
"General Li Ji, please ask for next instructions and support!"
Yang Duanhe's eyes were as solemn as water. He had somewhat trained the vanguard army, but this casualty still made him dissatisfied.
"Immediately send an order to Xin Sheng to lead 10,000 cavalry and quickly go to the location of the vanguard army."
"promise."
Watching the Chinese Army Sima leave, Yang Duanhe looked solemn. He knew in his heart that everyone was injured and it was no longer suitable to participate in the war.
If they encounter Zhao Jun again, half of the vanguard army will be lost.
"Yan Ju, all five thousand elite cavalry were wiped out. Now, I'm afraid only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left under your command..."
At this moment, a coldness appeared on the corner of Yang Duanhe's mouth, just like the twelfth lunar month in winter, even the air was frozen.
After receiving the order from the Sima of the Chinese Army, Xin Sheng, without caring about anything else, immediately ordered 10,000 cavalry troops and ran towards the location of the vanguard army.
For the commander of the scout battalion, Yang Duanhe just reprimanded him and did not impose any punishment, because he knew in his heart that the duty of the vanguard army was to clear the way for the main force.
He believed that Li Ji must have sent rangers, but so what. When encountering 5,000 Zhao cavalry, Li Ji's only choice was to break through head-on.
Since King Wuling of Zhao, Hu Fu, rode and shot, the Zhao army's cavalry itself has been the best in the world. The vanguard army can completely annihilate the 5,000 Zhao army at the cost of half of the losses. This is a great victory in itself.
…
When the news came out, Li Ji didn't think much about it. He thought too much about some things, but it didn't help.
All your wishes come true. Such things will not happen in the military. Soldiers never believe in luck.
After a night's rest, the army's physical strength gradually recovered, and its momentum began to change. From the previous casualness, it now became more fierce.
The military officials began to record the military exploits, and then buried the body except the head.
Similarly, Li Ji hesitated for a long time and ordered to bury the fallen soldiers of the Qin Army on the spot.
In the middle of summer, the weather is too hot.
If left alone, plague would easily occur. Now that Zhao land was about to belong to Da Qin, he had to deal with this.
After working hard all morning, the battlefield was finally cleaned up, and the soldiers began to eat the horse meat grilled yesterday.
At this time, the 1,500 vanguard army had 4,000 horses. Although it was not as good as the Mongols' one man and three horses, it was still stronger than the average cavalry.
Zhao Shu's 500 soldiers were once again full, and he also had 500 more horses, two horses per man, which was a luxury.
"Zhao Shu, I have reported your military exploits to the general truthfully. When the war in Xindu is over, your title will only be raised to two or three levels."
In today's vanguard army, apart from General Li Ji, there are only one thousand-man commander, another five-hundred-year-old commander, and Zhao Shu.
Therefore, Zhao Shu entered the core of this army and became one of the senior generals who entered and exited the shogunate.
Faced with Li Ji's joke, Zhao Shu smiled and answered: "The general's title may even be touched. Although our army suffered heavy casualties, we still have a great victory."
"The final general is just a public servant. Even if he is promoted, he is still a low-ranking noble..."
The commanders all smiled and shook their heads: "How long have you been in the army, my boy? At your age, we are still serving in counties and counties in various places."
"And you are already a Duke. You will be rewarded according to your military merits. The next time you will be rewarded, you will be Shangzao or Hairpin."
"If you make another gain in the battle of Xindu, even if you are not promoted, it is possible for you to become a noble prince."
Others didn't know much about Zhao Shu, but Li Ji still got the news from Xin Sheng. He naturally knew that Zhao Shu had just come from Lishanling District.
Only one month has passed, and Zhao Shu has already established a firm foothold in the army. With his performance in every battle, it is only a matter of time before he gains another military exploit.
