The [-] elite soldiers who were in charge of chasing Xihou were beaten up by Wei Qing and his cavalry, and only less than [-] people fled back to the main camp of the Royal Capital Army. After Xi Sima learned the exact number of casualties, he was so irritable that he almost drew his sword The elite generals.

"General! The last general had already besieged Xihou. When Xihou was killed by the last general and was about to collapse, a group of heavily armed enemy troops on horseback suddenly appeared. These cavalry not only had armor on their bodies, but even horses It is also equipped with armor, and the weapons used are very sharp. The swords of our tigers can be cut off by them. The tigers are cut off by the cavalry under the horse. The weapons in their hands cannot use their strength. Get up, everyone is really unable to resist." The general defended himself, he had never seen such a fierce horseman.

"Hmph! If you are defeated, you shirk your responsibility and pay back the cavalry! It's good to be able to control your balance while riding on a horse, and still fight?" Xi Sima sneered.

Only those nomads in the north who grew up on horseback dared to let go of their hands when they were running.Daqin riders dared to let go of their hands and not control the horse, which was almost like committing suicide.In any case, Xi Sima did not believe that mounted soldiers who could not free their hands could fight on the battlefield.

"General, every word of the last general is true, and there is no false statement. If the general does not believe it, he can be questioned by the tigers who have returned. Those cavalrymen in Ulsan really took off their hands and rode horses flexibly." The general knelt on the ground and kowtowed Gotta bounce.

The loss of two-thirds of the 700 elite soldiers can be punished as a death penalty. In order to save their lives, the general had to exaggerate that the enemy is too strong. In fact, he is not exaggerating. The combat effectiveness of the Ulsan cavalry is as strong as he described, but the number was increased to [-] by him. people.

The general is Xi Sima's confidant. Although Xi Sima is full of anger, he doesn't want to execute his confidant. Seeing the general's words, although he doesn't believe that all Ulsan cavalry are good horsemen, he still attracts a few defeats. The elite soldiers asked, everyone's caliber was consistent except for the number of cavalry.

Regarding the number of cavalry, these elite soldiers argued among themselves in the big tent. Some said four or five hundred, some were about the same number as the general said, and one person said it was absurd, saying that there were several thousand cavalry, because the horses The dust brought up by running covered the sky and covered the sky, giving this tiger the impression that the enemy army has thousands of horses and horses.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Xi Sima waved his hands to let the blushing and thick-necked subordinates go down. "Did those cavalrymen tie themselves to their horses to fight?" After Xi Sima believed the reason for the defeat of the three thousand elite soldiers, he began to analyze the reason why the cavalry was stable on the horses.

"It seems to be." The general recalled that the cavalry's thighs were fixed on the horse by something.

"Since this is the case, next time we face the Ulsan army, we will also use this kind of cavalry to deal with them." Xi Sima came up with a countermeasure.

"The general is brilliant!" The general admired his superior, he never thought of such a good method.

"Xihou has escaped now. Our army will go directly to his fief city to replenish food and grass tomorrow morning." The army was exhausted from marching for days, and Xi Sima planned to let the army rest for a night. snatch clean.

Because of the plan to attack Xihou to replenish military supplies, Xi Sima's army set off with only half of the budgeted food and grass. Now more than half of the food and grass have been consumed and urgently need to be replenished.

Xi Sima's wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.Early the next morning, the army arrived at the city gate of Xihouyi, only to see the burnt city gate suspension bridge, the city was empty everywhere, and there were only a few domestic cats abandoned by their owners running around on the street. Not to mention food in the common people's homes, even the slightest valuables are invisible, and the same is true for those nobles and Xihou's mansions. What's even worse is that the drinking wells are full of feces.

"Old man Xihou!" Xi Sima gritted his teeth and cursed.

There are few rivers in the fiefdom of Xihou, and the drinking water in the city is mainly well water. Now the well water is polluted, and the [-] soldiers and livestock have to go to a place about five miles outside the city to extract water.

There was no supplies in the city, so Xi Sima had to send troops to the vicinity of the city to search for the people who had not evacuated with Xihou. Due to the urgent needs of the army, Huben, the capital of the king, who was in charge of searching for supplies, searched the people's homes clean. Even the mice are not interested in patronizing.

With the departure of the food search team, there was a lot of crying behind, and the evil deeds of the king's capital Huben spread around the city like the wind. The people who got the news hurriedly hid in the hills with their belongings and livestock.The food search operation had little effect, and the food and grass of the king's conquest army were seriously in short supply.

"The whole army is marching towards Ulsan!" When Xi Sima found that the army rations for one day were not enough to scrape three feet of Xihou's fief, he decisively ordered the whole army to pull out the camp. Now he can only defeat Ulsan before the food and grass run out, otherwise, there will be no food. Your army will perish until the enemy comes to fight.

Twenty thousand people came from the Ulsan area. Zheng Yuming, Wei Shen and Yu Kui, who were in charge of civil affairs, were so busy that their eyes went dark. Wei Qing escorted five hundred captives and escorted Xihou and Xihou's more than a thousand tigers back to Dacheng.Jiang Gui and the valley doctor have already heard the news.

The casualties of the cavalry in the valley were not large. Two hundred cavalry attacked two thousand tigers in the capital, beheaded 600 people, and captured more than 500 people. Level, minor injuries will not be life-threatening, serious injuries can probably save half of the life, and the other half depends on personal luck.

After the bloody battle with the king's capital Tiger Ben, the blocking army led by Xihou had only half of its troops left. Not only Xihou himself was heavily wounded, but all the surviving soldiers were also injured, and more than 100 of them were seriously injured.As soon as the wounded soldiers arrived, more than [-] medical apprentices led by Dacheng doctors and Jiang Gui immediately started treating them.

"Uncle Xihou Wang." Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui went to visit Xihou who had been cured by Jiang Gui. Xihou was the uncle of King Wu. When Zheng Yuming confronted Xihou as his son Ming, he had to call Xihou Uncle Xihou.

Xihou's wound was covered with fresh honey, and he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Shi Zisheng was sitting by the bed to accompany him. After seeing the honey that Xihou put on the wound flowing down, Shi Zisheng put it into his mouth with his fingers. inside.

Before the birth of penicillin, honey was often used to disinfect wounds.

Honey itself has a strong antibacterial and bactericidal effect, and has a sealing effect, which can temporarily block the contact between the wound and the outside world and reduce the risk of infection.

The best antibiotic drug is penicillin. Both Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui know that penicillin can be obtained by fermentation of bacteria. However, there is a lack of equipment for cultivating bacteria in this time and space. Penicillin can only be developed after conditions are available.

After returning from the royal capital last year, Zheng Chu and Zheng Chu knew that wars would be inevitable in the future, and there would be casualties in wars, and those wounded would become more qualified soldiers after being cured, because these soldiers had experienced wars, and their psychological quality and experience were better than recruits. There are many recruits, which is a valuable combat power of the army. In order to reduce the death of the wounded, Chu Chaohui spent military expenses to train field doctors, and captured queen bees from the wild to domesticate domestic bees.After preparing to dispatch troops in Ulsan, all the wild beehives in the Ulsan area suffered disasters. The wild beehives were exposed by covered humans, and the honey was collected for later use.

"Young Master" Xihou opened his eyes, his voice was weak.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, when we arrive in Ulsan, Yu Mingming will protect Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang," Zheng Yuming assured by holding Xihou's hand.

Hearing Xihou's name for Zheng Yuming, Chu Chaohui and Wei Ren standing in the room were completely relieved. The Hushi General felt more at ease in his heart. With Xihou's endorsement of Zheng Yuming's son status, there is no need to question his son Ming's identity. up.

Xihou nodded his head with difficulty, and his eyes shifted to the Hushi general. Xihou was grateful for this old general who was two years older than him.

Xihou's biological mother was a palace maid with a humble status. She was favored by the old Wu Wang, the great-grandfather of Gongzi Guang by chance. This accidental maid gave birth to Xihou.At that time, the old king of Wu had a son, and later he had his favorite son, Beihou. He didn't care about Xihou's mother and son at all. I can't remember granting Xihou a fief.It was General Hushi who went to see the old King Wu with his father, and met Xihou in the palace.

Xihou looked old on the outside, and the Hussar General was surprised at the time that there were 16 or [-]-year-old sons who didn't go to fief the land. When he met the old Wu Wang, he mentioned it casually, and this mention made the old Wu Wang know that he had a concubine son. He has grown to [-] years old, and he should be granted a fief.

Xihou got a barren fief in the west just because of General Hushi's words, and left the palace with his mother, who was still a maid, to go to the fief.

Although the fief is barren, it allows Xihou to be the master of the family. Xihou's mother lived comfortably in the fief for more than [-] years before she passed away.

"General!" Xi Hou stretched out his hand to the general of the hussars, and his gratitude to the general of the hussars has never disappeared.

"Xihou! Rest in peace of mind. After killing the traitorous concubine, the royal family will rely on you to take charge of the overall situation." The Hushi general knelt on one leg in front of Xihou's bed.

The corner of Xihou's mouth twitched slightly, he really didn't expect that the most humble clan member like him would one day preside over the overall situation.

"Who trained the cavalry sent to meet him?" Xihou felt his eyes a little sore. He closed his eyes and blinked, looking for Wei Qing in the room. He was shocked by the bravery of the cavalry led by Wei Qing.

"It was trained by the last general." Chu Chaohui clasped his fists at Xihou who was on the hospital bed. He was now in full military attire, so he couldn't bow his body to salute, he could only salute Xihou.

Zhou Cheng has been ordered to lead the army first, and after Chu Chaohui sees Xihou, he will chase after him with his personal guards and cavalry.

"Good! Good! With a great army trained by General Chu, Xi Sima will surely be defeated." Xi Hou admired Chu Chaohui's heroic appearance, and Zheng Yuming's side, except for Chu Chaohui who could stand beside him, other people also I can't stand it.

"Please don't worry, Xihou. In the end, Naxi Sima will never come back." Seeing Xihou's eyes fixed on Shi Zisheng again, Chu Chaohui added: "The last general has a breath, and he will definitely protect the safety of Shi Zisheng." .”

Xihou's eyes turned back to Chu Chaohui. Chu Zhaohui's eyes were determined. Xihou looked at it for half the time and didn't speak, just nodded slightly.Leading the soldiers to harass Xi Sima on the march for several days without a good rest, even if he is not injured, Xihou's age can't bear it anymore. He is just because he is worried about his son, and he has persisted until now. Now with Chu Chaohui's guarantee, Xihou's spirit After relaxing, he fell asleep immediately.

Seeing that the old father tilted his head and ignored him, Shi Zisheng couldn't help crying.

"Father, don't die!"

Zheng Yuming was startled when he heard Shi Zisheng crying, and quickly reached out to test Xihou's breathing, and found that Xihou was still breathing. "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang is just sleeping."

"Sleeping? But grandma turned her head like this and ignored Sheng. Later, Sheng couldn't see grandma again, and the waiters said grandma was dead." Shi Zisheng wiped his tears.

"It's really sleeping. Uncle Wang hasn't rested for four days. He's too sleepy. Let's not disturb him. Let's go to the next room, okay?" Zheng Yuming comforted Shi Zisheng, Jiang Gui's diagnosis to Xihou was that the wound was not infected , not life-threatening.

"Sheng doesn't go anywhere else, just stay here with my father. If Sheng doesn't disturb my father, there will be no sound at all." Shizi Sheng refused to leave. In an unfamiliar environment, he felt at ease by his father's side.

"Let him stay here, and leave two more doctors here to take care of him." Hushi General sighed.

Jiang Gui, who was next to him, heard the general's order, and replied stiffly: "There are hundreds of wounded soldiers to deal with outside, how can we keep two doctors here?"

General Hussars wanted to scold him when he opened his mouth, but he swallowed the scolding abruptly when he saw the stubborn Jiang Gui. During the process of treatment, his attitude was cold, and he was no different from other ordinary patients as a general.

"Keep one, after all, Xihou is not out of danger yet." Seeing Jiang Gui's furious temper, Zheng Yuming hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Hmph, just leave one doctor here, you go out with me to treat the wounded soldiers." Jiang Gui picked up the life-saving kit, named a doctor's name and walked out. Everyone in the room bowed, lowered their heads and followed Jiang Gui back out.

Xihou's Wen Zai and the ministers watched all this in astonishment.Crap! Is this doctor surnamed Jiang the number one doctor in Daqin?
