"Sir, the pain of cutting out flesh and bones is excruciating. It is unbearable for ordinary people. You can take some anesthetic powder to relieve the pain!"
"No need, just treat it like this, cut open the flesh quickly and take out the arrow inside!"
"grown ups?"
"Do it!"
"promise!"
Anesthesia Powder is a drug with a strong anesthetic effect that Li Shizhen, a famous doctor of the generation, has studied for many years and prepared from dozens of Chinese herbal medicines. After taking it, people will fall asleep and will not feel pain even if they cut flesh with a knife!
After the advent of this medicine, it has relieved the pain of many injured people. In addition, it is not expensive, so it is very popular among the world.
During the battle, all the soldiers of the Tianwei Army carried anesthesia powder with them to treat injuries. Even Qin Feng was no exception, carrying several packets of this medicine in his pocket.
But the current situation is that we are deeply surrounded and extremely dangerous, and the entire army may be destroyed at any time.
Qin Feng must keep his head clear at all times and not make any mistakes in order to lead his soldiers to escape. Therefore, he refused to take anesthesia powder and had to bear the pain of cutting flesh and bones!
Xiong Er knew Qin Feng's temper and would never change what he had already decided, so he gritted his teeth and began to treat him.
The first step: Use a military thorn to cut several times, making a gap about two inches long in the highly swollen wound, and the pus and blood inside immediately poured out.
In the second step, the general inserted the tip of the thorn into the gap, carefully opened the muscle hooked by two sharp barbs, then continued to penetrate, and used force to pick out the arrowhead.
After gouging out seven or eight times, the arrowhead nailed to the calf bone finally became looser.
In the third step, Xiong Er retracted the spur, pressed his calf tightly with his left hand, pinched the arrow shaft tightly with two fingers of his right hand, took a deep breath, and pulled it out with force.
At the same time, Xiong Da, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately pressed a piece of thick gauze sprinkled with golden sore medicine, hemostatic powder, and Jisheng powder onto the bleeding wound, and then wrapped it with several long cloth strips got up.
At this point, the treatment is complete!
During the treatment process, Qin Feng did not move, groan, or even blink, as if he was not in pain at all.
Doesn't it really hurt?
Of course it hurts, and it hurts to the bone and to the heart, but I suppressed it with strong willpower!
Faced with this situation, Xiong Da, Xiong Er and the surrounding soldiers all fell to the ground in admiration. The willpower of their own general is no less than that of Guan Erye who scraped his bones to heal his wounds. He is truly a man among men, a hero. The hero among us!
……………
A lot of blood was shed during the process of pulling out the arrow, and excessive blood loss will make people very thirsty, but Qin Feng did not drink water.
It’s not that I don’t want to drink, it’s that there is no water, not even a drop!
You must know that there are more than 200 miles of sandy land nearby, and there are not many water sources. Moreover, they are all controlled by the Jurchen Army, and ambushes have been set up around them. If you go to get water, you will never come back.
The drinking water they carried with them has been consumed long ago. Now the people and horses are very thirsty. If they don't replenish the drinking water, they may not be able to hold on.
How can we get drinking water without being ambushed by the Jurchen Army?
What a big problem!
But in order to survive, no matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way!
"Um?"
While thinking hard, Qin Feng discovered that there were some small paw prints scattered under an Elaeagnus tree not far from him. Judging from the size and shape, they were left by marmots, and they were left not long ago.
Marmots, also known as prairie dogs and meadow otters, live in grasslands and plateau areas. They are more than a foot long and weigh more than ten kilograms. They like to live in caves and feed on the leaves, stems, roots and seeds of herbaceous plants. Their fur is light and warm. , is the best material for making fur, its flesh and bones are edible, delicious and tonic!
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the marmot is delicious or not. The important thing is that through the marmot, Qin Feng thought of a way to find water sources nearby!
"Xiong Da, Xiong Er, did you see the little paw prints under the tree?"
"Back to my lord
I saw it, it was a group of marmots left not long ago, ten in total, four big and six small! "
"Very good, you should take a few people with you immediately, go find the cave nearby, and catch all the marmots inside. Remember, you must catch them alive. This general will be of great use!"
"As you command!"
Although they didn't know the use of catching marmots, Xiong Da and Xiong Er immediately carried out the order and took a few soldiers to catch the marmots.
The Xiong brothers were hunters. They were extremely experienced and their methods were even more powerful. It only took less than a meal to capture a whole litter of marmots back alive. As expected, they were four big and six small.
Looking at a nest of lively marmots, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Very good, tie the hind legs of the marmots with a rope, feed them some salt, then let them go, and follow them to find the water source. !」
"Feed salt...find water...I understand, General, you can even think of this method, you are really the smartest person in the world!"
Xiong Da and Xiong Er were stunned for a moment, and then after thinking for a moment, they quickly understood what Qin Feng meant, and immediately extended their thumbs to praise!
As animals, marmots also need to drink water, so there must be a water source near the cave where they live.
The salt is very salty. After eating it, the marmot will feel very uncomfortable in his mouth. He needs to drink a lot of water to relieve the unpleasant taste.
In this way, if you follow these marmots, you can find a water source nearby, but you don't know whether the water source is large or small and whether it can meet the needs of more than a thousand people.
In any case, it is a good thing to be able to find a water source. Even if there is not much water, it is better than nothing!
Thinking of this, Xiong Da and Xiong Er immediately took action. They first found some thin ropes and tied them to the hind legs of the marmots. Then they opened their mouths and force-fed them one by one salt, and then put them on the ground!
"Chichi...chichi!"
After eating the salt, the marmots screamed in discomfort, and then ran collectively to the northeast. Xiong Da, Xiong Er and a dozen soldiers held the ropes and ran closely behind them.
……………
After two sticks of incense, Xiong Da, Xiong Er and the soldiers came back. Everyone looked happy and had water bags in their hands, all of which were filled.
"Sir, look, we found water. It's clear, sweet, and tastes great!"
"Is there a lot of water?"
"Many, very many. Didn't you see that those marmots ran northeast for about a mile, stopped on a piece of sand, and then dug downwards with their little paws, and soon dug out a hole? There is water seeping out of it!
We tried digging a few big holes, but water also seeped out of them. It turned out that there was an underground river hidden under the sand, with quite a lot of water. Now we were saved, haha! "
"Very good, you immediately take a sentry and all the water bags and dig a hole in the sand to get water. Be careful when you move and fill the hole afterwards without leaving any traces, lest you be discovered by the Jurchens! "
"I understand, I must be careful!"
Xiong Da and Xiong Er nodded repeatedly, then set off with a group of troops, and quickly sent back filled water bags.
"Brothers, drink water, take a big gulp, it's enough!"
"Good water, so sweet!"
"Our general is really amazing. We can actually find water in a place like this. If we follow the general, we will definitely be able to get out!"
"You're right, we can definitely get out!"
…
With sufficient drinking water, the soldiers of the Tianwei Army immediately regained their vitality, their morale also increased, and they became more confident in breaking out of the siege.
But what method can be used to break out of the heavy siege of the Jurchen army?
Qin Feng was drinking water and thinking silently. At the same time, he picked up a branch and drew a map on the ground based on his memory.
