Chapter 19 19. Healing injuries
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops sounded from behind, and the rear army of Chu army changed to the front army, and slowly rushed towards the city gate like a tide.
The Qin army took advantage of the victory and pursued for a certain distance, but did not take advantage of it. Instead, they were shot randomly by the crossbows arranged on the city wall, causing many injuries. The Qin army retreated a few hundred steps, and then set up camp on the hillside.
At this time, in the large tent of the Qin Army's Central Army, the chief general of the Qin Army, Ji Rugao, was sitting on top. This man had a clear face and three long beards on his chin, but he looked more like a literati.
Below stood two rows of generals, each with a mighty look. A strong man with a beard and a thick back came out more and more: "General, why don't we take advantage of the victory today and rush into the city? As long as you give me three thousand elite soldiers, you can enter through the city gate."
"Big bear, the general asked you to read more books, so you know how to eat. Did you eat the pig's head meat? If you die by yourself, you will bring 3,000 soldiers to be buried with you. What do these 3,000 soldiers have to do with you? Revenge, did you sleep with your wife, or did you dig your ancestral grave?" At this moment, a slightly shorter officer with a mustache sneered sarcastically.
The man called "Big Bear" was furious, his eyes protruded and he shouted: "Short boy, tell me clearly, why did I die, why did I let three thousand soldiers die? If you say no today I know that you and I will compete outside the account."
"You need to use your brain to fight. I only know that blindly rushing and killing is what small soldiers do." Ba Zixu said slowly: "There are about 25,000 Chu troops in Huju City, of which nearly 15,000 are the elite Huwei army. They are all recruits supported by various academies."
"Today, the opponent only sent more than 7,000 people, and most of them were recruits. It is roughly estimated that there are only 7,000 to 8,000 people left behind at the top of the city. There are still 10,000 elites. Where did you go?" Bazixu asked jokingly. .
"Big Bear" defended with a guilty conscience: "Maybe he is resting in the city."
"Okay! Do you think that when the two armies are at war, the general of the Chu army would rather be defeated than leave his elite behind to sleep?"
"Cough cough!" At this time, the chief general of the Qin army, Ji Ru, who was sitting at the top, coughed twice, and when everyone quieted down, he said loudly: "The follow-up units of our army will arrive one after another in the next two days. Let's do our best to make siege equipment. Then we will take the city in one go." After speaking, he assigned each task in detail.
It was already the third watch when Wang Hong returned to his residence. The residence was a large barracks with fifty people assigned to it, which was very crowded.
It’s just that the space is quite empty tonight, there are about a dozen people missing, and they probably will never come back. The people who were bragging and beating in the morning disappeared in an instant, and Wang Hong felt very uncomfortable.
The people who came back were also staggered, some were dealing with wounds, and some were already sound asleep. Wang Hong sat down in a corner, sprinkled some white jade powder randomly on the wounds all over his body, and then took a dragon and tiger pill, and used his kung fu to refine the medicinal power.
Wang Hong's practice has not stopped in the past few months, and he has to refine two pills every day. When he started from the academy, he had just entered the Xiantian realm. Now Wang Hong's Taiyin lung in his hand is only short of thenar, and he can get through the whole line by staying in two acupoints of Shaoshang.
Seeing that Wang Hong had finished his work, he hurried forward and pulled Wang Hong's sleeve, and asked eagerly, "Wang Hong! Help! Help! Do you still have Baiyu powder or other healing medicines?"
Wang Hong saw that he didn't look like he was injured and dying, so he teased: "Lu Jingou! Don't you usually boast about being a hero? So you are so afraid of death!"
"Oh! It's not me, it's Zhang Tiemao!" Then he pulled Wang Hong away and explained Zhang Tiemao's situation to Wang Hong on the way. It turned out that Zhang Tiemao was seriously injured, and now he is in a coma. The doctor in the army came over to take a look, and randomly applied some wound medicine, but he said that he couldn't be saved.
After a great battle, there are countless wounded, and the wailing of the wounded is everywhere, waiting for treatment. There are only 20 to 30 doctors in the army, and the supply of wound medicines in the army is also seriously insufficient, not to mention the more expensive wound medicines like Baiyu powder, even some cheap wound medicines are not enough. Some wounded can only grab a handful of plant ash or slaked lime and sprinkle it on the wound to stop the bleeding.
People heard all kinds of painful howls before they arrived at the wounded barracks. Those who howled heart-piercingly must be the new wounded ones. It's almost there.
The camp was full of wounded people lying here and there, some with severed arms and legs, some with holes in their chests and abdomens, and some with rotten wounds, emitting bursts of stench, attracting a group of flies buzzing around.
Zhang Tie Mao was lying in a corner, his face was pale and his eyes were closed. Bandages were wrapped all over his body, and the bandages had been stained red with blood in many places. Especially the bandage on the leg was already soaked with blood, and Li Xiaoya was tearfully pressing on the leg in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Hua Wenjue was cleaning and bandaging Zhang Tie Mao's wound.
Wang Hong checked it again, and knew that Zhang Tiemao must have lost too much blood and fell into a coma, and his leg muscles and bones were broken. He hurriedly took out several bottles of white jade powder from his bosom, and asked several people to sprinkle it on Zhang Tiemao's wounds.
He took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from his bosom, and poured out two pills the size of soybeans, which were the "Baiyu Xuming Pills" refined from 50-year-old Baiyuzhi. Although it was the first time for Wang Hong to use the "Baiyu Xuming Pill", he believed that there should be no problem in treating Zhang Tiemao's injury.
Pry open Zhang Tie Mao's mouth and feed him one. The muscles and bones of the legs have been docked before. The other was melted with wine and applied to the large wound on his leg. Soon, the wounds that were still bleeding just now stopped bleeding.
Hua Wenjue saw this and asked: "Wang Hong, why is your medicine so effective?" You must know that I also used a bottle of Baiyusan for Zhang Tiemao just now, although the dosage was relatively small. This bottle of Bai Yu San was specially made, and he added some Bai Yuzhi that had been in it for more than ten years.
Wang Hong pretended to be mysterious with a smile and said: "This is my exclusive secret recipe!" I won't say more, of course I won't tell them that these Baiyu powders use Baiyuzhi that has been around for 20 or 30 years as the main medicine. Then he took out a few more bottles of white jade powder from his bosom, and distributed them to several people in case of emergency. Several people accepted it happily, after all, they had seen the effects of these medicines from Wang Hong just now.
Wang Hong took out a few slices of homemade medicated meat jerky and handed it to Li Xiaoya, telling him to tear it up and boil it soft for Zhang Tiemao to eat. These jerky meat Wang Hong added centuries-old Huang Jing to replenish his blood and restore his physical strength. Should be good.
Lu Jingou smelled a strong fragrance, and approached with his nose stretched out, "Wang Hong, you are the only one who will enjoy it. This is your homemade delicacy again!" Seeing that his saliva was about to flow out, Wang Hong was upset He threw one piece to him, and another piece to Hua Wenjue and Li Xiaoya.
Lu Jingou put the dried meat in front of his nose and took a deep sniff, then took a small bite and savored it carefully. After taking a few mouthfuls, I felt hot in my stomach, and quickly swallowed the remaining few mouthfuls. He thanked Wang Hong very solemnly, and then sat down cross-legged to practice.
The other two were startled when they saw Lu Jingou's strange behavior, and then soon discovered the clue. They also thanked Wang Hongdao after a few bites and sat up in meditation. Things that can increase one's cultivation level are hard to come by. Although one slice can only increase one's cultivation base by ten days, but Wang Hong can share it with them, and they have to accept it.
