Chapter 68: Scenes From Hell

Somewhere on flat ground 15 miles west of Aeron's Ferry.

In order to take a better rest, the remaining less than 90,000 troops of the Britannia Empire retreated for 15 miles in one breath, and then stationed here.

Ah, no, it should be said to be the "defeated army" of the Britannia Empire with less than 90,000 horses.

In less than one morning, 20,000 soldiers and horses of the 7th Army were disabled by 4,000 armored paladins led by Allen.

According to statistics after the retreat of the whole army, the 7th Army suffered nearly 14,000 casualties in the battle just now, and now there are only 6,000 people left in the phalanx of the 7th Army in Nuo Da.

The casualties of the Iron Armored Paladins are estimated to be around 800, and most of the 800 casualties of the enemy were caused by the crossbowmen led by Su Cheng.

The opponent only paid 800 casualties, and wounded and killed 14,000 of its own people.

A fiasco, a total fiasco.

Although the most elite unit of the Frankish Empire, the Iron Armored Paladin, injured 800 people, it is quite a cause for celebration.

However, if you compare it with the tragic casualties of your own side, you will find that this result is not worth mentioning.

The Armored Paladins are indeed the elite troops of the Frankish Empire, but the 100,000 troops brought this time are also the elite troops of the Britannia Empire!

These 100,000 soldiers and horses are soldiers of the Gabriel Knights, the strongest knight order in the Britannia Empire.

The opponent exchanged 800 elite soldiers for 14,000 elite soldiers on their side.

No matter what.

The Battle of Elon's Ferry ended with the disastrous defeat of the Britannia Empire.

 …

At this time, the wounded treatment area of ​​the Britannia Empire Rescue Army.

After the army withdrew, the army commanders and deputy army commanders worked together to command the soldiers to carry some wounded soldiers who survived the 7th Army to the wounded treatment area in an orderly manner, so that the military doctors could quickly treat the wounded who could still be saved. disease treatment.

Military tents were set up one after another outside the wounded and rescue area, and these white military tents, like white clouds, formed a big circle.

If you look down from the sky, you can see a white circle, and this white circle has only a small gap, and this small gap is specially for people to enter and exit the wounded treatment area.

And on the large open space surrounded by white military tents, there were many wounded soldiers transported over.

According to a rough count, there are more than 2,000 wounded soldiers lying in this open space, and this number is still rising rapidly.

Because there are still many wounded soldiers being carried into the wounded treatment area one after another.

The blood flowing from the wounded soldiers continued to flow out of their bodies, gradually blackening the open space under them.

The strong smell of blood is firmly locked in this open space like an invisible chain, no matter how you try to dispel the strong smell of blood, it will gather again.

The soldiers responsible for bringing the wounded in couldn't help frowning and holding their breath after entering the wounded treatment area.

Most of them are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years, but even so, after they entered the wounded and rescue area, they were still frightened by the strong smell of blood inside, and each of them reflexively shielded themselves. Holding his breath, after putting the wounded soldier away, he quickly "escaped" from here as if fleeing.

In addition to the strong bloody smell that drills into your nostrils, there are endless screams and wailing sounds here.

Most of the wounded soldiers pressed their wounds in pain, wailing and screaming one after another.

And those who didn't press their own wounds and let the wounds bleed basically didn't have the strength to press the wounds.

"Ahhh! My hand!!"

"It hurts...it hurts..."

"Doctor! Help me quickly!!"

"I... don't want to die..."

"Anyone is welcome! Help me heal my leg!!"

...

Because there are too many wounded,

And the military doctors accompanying the army obviously couldn't cope with so many wounded.

The military doctors were all in the white military tents surrounding the open space, treating and operating on the wounded.

Even though the military doctors were all overloaded with work, the huge difference in numbers between the military doctors and the wounded soldiers meant that some of the wounded soldiers would die before the military doctors came to treat them.

In the white military tents where the wounded soldiers were being treated, there were also howls and screams one after another.

Not only that, in addition to the wailing and screaming of the wounded soldiers in the military tent, there were also the roaring and scolding of the military doctors.

"You guys! Quickly hold him down!! Don't let him move around!!"

"AHHHHHH! DOCTOR!! MY HANDS! MY HANDS!!!"

"If you want to live! You must amputate your hand! Don't worry! There are anesthetics! The pain will be relieved a lot! Be obedient! Don't move around!!"

"Hurry up and bring in more water!!"

...

In this world, an anesthetic has been invented, but the effect of this anesthetic is far from being able to make the patient unconscious like the anesthetic on the earth.

The anesthetics in this world can only reduce your pain a lot, but there is still pain.

For example, if your original pain of surgery is 10, but if you use anesthesia, it can reduce your pain of surgery to 4.

Although the pain has been reduced by so much, the pain of the operation can still make the weak-willed people miserable.

Pots of clean water were poured into the white military tent one after another, and then pots of bloody water were quickly poured out.

Su Cheng looked at the basins of clear water being transported into the white military tent, and the basins of bloody water being transported out of the white military tent.

Listening to the endless screams and wailing of the wounded soldiers and the anxious scolding and roaring of the military doctors.

This is probably what hell looks like. Su Cheng thought silently in his heart.

The commander and deputy commander of the Britannia Empire Rescue Army are now in this wounded treatment area.

They were all waiting in front of a white military tent.

Silently waiting for the military doctors in the white military tent to finish the operation.

The reason why the army commanders and deputy army commanders including Su Cheng are waiting in front of this military tent is because the coach Nicholas and the seventh army commander Enli are both undergoing treatment in this military tent. Operation.

Army commanders and deputy army commanders are anxiously waiting for the results of the treatment.

Su Cheng noticed that in the army tent that was specially responsible for treating Nicholas and Enli, the replacement speed of the clean water basin and the blood water basin was much faster than that of other top army commanders.

Clean water was brought in almost every second, and when new water was sent in, dirty bloody water was sent out.

"It seems that he is still undergoing intense treatment..." Su Cheng murmured.

And Alisa, who was standing next to Su Cheng, just heard Su Cheng's murmur, her complexion became tense, and the anxious expression on her face became more intense.

Both Nicholas and Enley were seriously injured, especially Nicholas.

Enli just had a hole in his abdomen. Although it was considered a serious injury, it was nothing compared to Nicholas' injury.

After Deng Jiaer rescued Nicholas from the chaotic phalanx of the 7th Army, he already had more breath and less breath.

Therefore, after Nicholas safely retreated to the rear, the military doctors immediately gave him emergency treatment.

However, even though he was seriously injured and unconscious, Nicholas still tightly held the sword in his hand.

When fighting Allen, in order to be able to hold the sword better, Nicholas tore off a cloth strip from the cloak, and then used the cloth strip to firmly bind the right palm and the hilt.

The large amount of blood flowing from Nicholas' body dyed the cloth strips dark black.

The military doctors cut the cloth strips wrapped around Nicholas' right palm and sword hilt, and found that the sword hilt had stuck to his bloody fingers, and the entire palm had become hard.

So the military doctors could only break off Nicholas' fingers from the hilt one by one, and finally, with a bang, the sword in his hand finally fell.

After breaking the knight's sword from Nicholas' hands, the military doctors suddenly heard that Nicholas, who should have been seriously injured and unconscious, began to murmur!

A military doctor put his ear close to Nicholas' mouth, and finally heard what Nicholas was saying.

"Give me the sword...give me the...sword...give me the sword...I...I want...to kill the enemy..."

Even though Nicholas was seriously injured and unconscious, he still held the sword in his hand tightly, and still wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Seeing Nicholas's heroic gesture, many female military doctors present shed tears on the spot, and the male military doctors also had red eyes.

And the army commanders and deputy army commanders, including Su Cheng, were all moved when they heard about this incident.

Su Cheng and Nicholas are not familiar with each other, they just met a few times, but now he can't help but respect this veteran who is over half a century old.

At this time, he also sincerely hoped that Nicholas would be able to recover and return.

 …

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the results of the treatment.

Finally, a military doctor came out of the military tent!

Before the military doctor could speak, the army commanders and deputy army commanders immediately surrounded him.

"Doctor!" Alisa asked first, "How are Nicholas and Enli's treatment going?"

Military doctors with rich medical experience have long been accustomed to being "besieged" by many people after leaving the military camp.

The military doctor took off his mask calmly.

"The treatment of the coach is still going on, but the treatment of the Commander of the 7th Army has ended. The treatment of the Commander of the 7th Army was very successful, and his life is out of danger, but he will not be able to do strenuous exercise for the next 3 months. .”

After hearing that Enli's treatment was successful, all the army commanders and deputy army commanders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Su Cheng heard that Enli was fine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Su Cheng knew that Enli didn't like him very much, and Su Cheng himself didn't like Enli very much, but after all, the two had no grievances or enmities, and Enli had never done anything to him that was too much. The outrageous thing was just a few sarcastic remarks to him, so Su Cheng didn't want him to die just like that.

Therefore, after learning that Enli was saved, Su Cheng also felt a little happy.

After learning that Enli was rescued, the cloudy clouds gathered on the faces of the army commanders and deputy army commanders were finally dispelled a little.

Enri was saved, which is a very good sign!

Thinking of this, the faces of the army commanders and deputy army commanders improved a little.

Even Alisa, who had been anxious just now, became a little calmer than before.

The army commanders and deputy army commanders continued to wait in front of the army tent.

After waiting in silence for more than an hour.

Finally another military doctor came out of the military tent!

After seeing another military doctor coming out of the military tent, the army commander and deputy army commanders hurriedly surrounded him as before.

"Military doctor! How's the result of the coach's treatment?" Alisa was still the first to ask.

However, this time the military doctor did not unhurriedly take off his mask and tell them "the treatment was successful" like the military doctor just now.

Instead, he remained silent, and then his eyes gradually turned red.

Looking at the silent military doctor with red eyes, an ominous premonition surged into the hearts of the army commanders and deputy army commanders including Su Cheng.

"Boss..." The military doctor choked up, "He's dead..."
