Chapter 205
Tang Yin watched his soldiers cleaning up the battlefield from the top of the city wall. The Feng army pushed the headless bodies of the Ning soldiers to the bottom of the city wall, and at the same time carried their dead and injured soldiers back to the city.
After a hasty reckoning, the number of dead soldiers of the Feng army in this battle exceeded 2,000, and there were even more injured. Tang Yin was patrolling on the top of the city wall. A corps commander named Shao Yang ran over quickly. After seeing Tang Yin, he first stepped in and saluted, and then said in a hurry: "Sir, our army is short of military doctors. Many injured brothers cannot get treatment. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Tang Yin frowned, bowed his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Go find Deng Xuan and let him help us find a solution!" Since there are not enough military doctors on our side, there must be doctors in Jinhua City. Now we can only ask the doctors in the city to come out and help.
"I understand! Sir!" Shao Yang agreed and flew away.
Although there were not many doctors in Jinhua City, there were not a few. After receiving Tang Yin's order, Deng Xuan did not dare to delay and immediately sent his servants to invite doctors. It didn't take long for him to find more than 20 doctors. With the help of these people, the urgent needs of the Tianyuan Army were solved. Whether it was a lightly injured or a seriously injured soldier, they were treated in time, which preserved the combat effectiveness of the Tianyuan Army to the maximum extent.
At this time, Deng Xuan also came out of his house and called on the people of the city to help the Feng Army strengthen the city defense and prepare meals.
Tang Yin was very satisfied with Deng Xuan's performance. With the help of the people in the city, he also took time to visit his injured soldiers.
Behind the city wall, the Feng Army temporarily built a tent, in which all the seriously injured soldiers lived. The lights in the tent were bright, and the military doctors and doctors shuttled back and forth, busy as usual, with a strong smell of medicine and blood floating in the air. There were hundreds of seriously injured Fengjun soldiers, and painful groans could be heard from time to time in the long tent.
Tang Yin sighed secretly. War was like this. If you hurt the enemy by one thousand, you will lose eight hundred. No one knew who would be the winner until the end. Although the Ningjun army resisted the attack in the battle this afternoon, Tang Yin also saw that the Ningjun army did not use all their strength. They only sent the front army to attack. The more than 300,000 central and rear armies did not participate in the battle. In addition, the Ningjun army did not use siege equipment. I think tomorrow's battle will be more difficult than today.
Will the brothers on our side be able to hold on by then? Tang Yin was calm on the surface, but he was also in a state of anxiety.
He walked up to a young injured soldier and looked down. The soldier's legs were broken, and the blood soaked the cloth bandaging the wound. His face was pale, his body was twitching, his eyes were wide open, and he could no longer see. If it were in modern times, there might be a way to treat it, but in this era, it was too late.
Tang Yin was born as a killer, and he had seen too many lives and deaths. He could tell at a glance whether a person could survive after being seriously injured.
The young female doctor who treated the soldier was busy giving the soldier painkillers, removing the blood-soaked cloth strips, reapplying hemostatics, and then wrapping new cloth strips. She was skilled and there was no panic on her face, obviously experienced.
Tang Yin watched for a while, stepped forward and grabbed the female doctor's wrist, shook his head and said: "Don't waste medicine anymore, leave it to those who are worth saving."
The female doctor was stunned for a moment, then waved her arms and shook Tang Yin's hand away, turned her head and looked at Tang Yin, and asked: "What are you talking about? Is he not worth saving? He is not dead yet!"
Tang Yin has always cared for his soldiers. If there is still a way to treat him, how could he step forward to stop it? ! He sighed lightly, looked at the soldier, and said faintly: "You can't save him. Medicinal materials are precious now. Instead of using them on dying people, it is better to give them to those who can still be treated."
Tang Yin's words obviously angered the female doctor. She widened her eyes and said loudly: "Since I am a doctor, I should save the dying and the wounded. How can I watch people die without saving them?"
Hearing the quarrel, an elderly middle-aged doctor walked over quickly, first looked at the female doctor, then looked at Tang Yin with a cold face, and asked: "Xiao Lei, what happened?"
Seeing the middle-aged doctor, the anger on the female doctor's face eased a little. She pointed at Tang Yin and said: "This person stopped me from saving people!"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly. Stopping her from saving people was to save medicinal materials to treat more people. Why didn't she understand such a simple truth? He was not in the mood to argue with her now. He just shrugged and turned to walk out.
The middle-aged doctor did not know Tang Yin, but judging from his clothes, he guessed that he must be a general of the Feng Army. He quickly chased Tang Yin, bowed and saluted, and asked: "The general is..."
"Tang Yin." Tang Yin replied calmly.
"Ah?" The middle-aged doctor and the young female doctor were both shocked. They never expected that the handsome young man in front of them was actually the famous Tianyuan County Chief. The middle-aged doctor was stunned for a while, then knelt down and saluted, saying: "Master Tang, I am young and ignorant. If I have offended you just now, I hope you will forgive me!"
Tang Yin helped the middle-aged doctor up and said with a smile: "You're welcome, doctor!" After saying that, he looked at the young female doctor and felt that she did have some resemblance to the middle-aged doctor. It turned out that they were a father and daughter. No wonder she His medical skills are so proficient. He said sternly: "Today's battle is just contact with Ning Jun. The next battle will be more and more intense, and the number of injured brothers will also greatly increase. By then, a large amount of medicinal materials will need to be prepared for treatment. If we can't economize on medicine now, we will not be able to use it sparingly in the future." Many injured brothers will not be saved, so you are not saving people now, but killing people."
The female doctor was shocked and looked at Tang Yin, speechless for a long time.
Tang Yin looked at the dying soldier and continued: "He is my brother-in-arms. I hope he can live more than anyone else. I hope you can understand this!" After speaking, he looked deeply. He glanced at the female doctor and then walked out of the tent.
In the evening, after Tang Yin had dinner with Shangguan Yuanrang and the five corps commanders, they were discussing the next strategy against the enemy. At this time, Deng Xuan came with several officials from Jinhua City. After seeing Tang Yin, everyone They all saluted and said hello, and then Deng Xuan asked: "Master Tang, where will you rest at night?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Just live in the tent."
Deng Xuan said: "Now that the city lord has run away and the city lord's mansion is free, why don't Mr. Tang and several generals go to the city lord's mansion to stay? The conditions there are much better than the barracks, and several adults and I have also prepared songs. prostitute."
Tang Yin sighed secretly, how could he still be in the mood to have fun now that he was facing a formidable enemy? What's more, he didn't know if Ning Jun would launch a sneak attack at night, so he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyes, glared at Deng Xuan and others, and shouted angrily: "We are here to fight with Ning's army, not for fun. If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you." Head!"
Shangguan Yuanrang's words shocked Deng Xuan and others. Their legs became weak and they all knelt down on the ground. They said repeatedly: "Master Tang, General Shangguan, I...I have no intention of disturbing the morale of the army..." …”
"Hmph!" Shangguan Yuanrang snorted coldly and wanted to reprimand a few people. Tang Yin had already reached out to stop him. In any case, Deng Xuan and others had good intentions. Even if they didn't accept it, they wouldn't make things difficult for them.
He stepped forward, helped Deng Xuan and others up, and said with a smile: "I appreciate the kindness of the adults, but now that the enemy is facing us, it is better for us to stay in the military camp."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Deng Xuan and others did not dare to say anything more and nodded in agreement.
In fact, the folk customs were open at that time, and it was not a big deal for local officials to prepare singing girls for passing officials and generals to entertain.
After sending Deng Xuan and others away, Tang Yin looked around at everyone, grinned, and said, "Master Deng is thinking about us. We should be grateful."
The five corps commanders were all happy. Shangguan Yuanrang just shrugged and said nothing.
Tang Yin continued: "After we retreat from the Ning Army, everyone can do whatever they want, but that's not possible now." After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "Now the Ning Army has surrounded the city and set up camp. , if my prediction is good, tomorrow the Ning Army will besiege Jinhua City in an all-round way, and they will even use powerful siege weapons, so everyone should be mentally prepared!"
"Don't worry, sir, we will fight to the death to defend ourselves against the enemy and we will never take a step back!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "If the enemy comprehensively attacks us, our army cannot only defend the front. We must disperse our manpower to defend the four sides of Jinhua City."
Everyone nodded in unison. At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang reacted quickly and said immediately: "Sir, I will guard the south."
To the south is the front of Jinhua City, which is also the direction from which Ning's army came. Now the central military tent of Ning's army is located in the south camp. When the city is attacked, the south will definitely be the focus of the battle between the two sides.
Tang Yin had some concerns about Shangguan Yuanrang guarding the south side. Shangguan Yuanrang was brave and invincible, but he didn't know much about Ning's army. If he didn't attack the opponent's main force, he might suffer losses from the opponent.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said: "It's better for me to personally guard the south side. I will lead 10,000 brothers to guard the south side; Yuan Rang, you will lead 10,000 brothers to guard the east wall, and the Ning army should also attack there. One of the key points: Generals Zhichen and Bai Jie led 10,000 brothers to guard the north, generals Dai Qiang and Wu Bai led 10,000 brothers to guard the west, and General Shaoyang led the remaining brothers to stay in the city for reinforcements. , whichever side is in emergency will provide reinforcements."
After everyone listened, they looked at each other and all stepped in and said, "Yes! Sir!" After a pause, Shao Yang asked worriedly: "My lord, you only led 10,000 brothers to guard the south gate. Isn't it a bit too reluctant?" ”
Tang Yin smiled without fear and said easily: "If I can't resist it, I will naturally ask you for help!"
