Chapter 489
This is a double pressure between military concepts and military technology. They may know some military concepts, but they are afraid that they really have no idea about military technology, so of course they can't understand it.
Just like the Chinese people over two hundred years later, they didn't understand why the Qing Dynasty, which claimed to have an army of millions, could not defeat only 20,000 British and French coalition forces, and then was then attacked to Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance that was pieced together for 37,000.
The lucky thing about Huang Taiji is that he ran fast and there were no pursuers from the Liu family army behind him.
However, after leaving Guangning City for dozens of miles, he was trapped in a difficult decision.
Directly north, there is a huge passage between Beizhenshan and Daheishan Road. When they walk now, they will definitely be able to crash head-on to the Liu family army led by Liu Yongshun of the Fourth Infantry Brigade.
In this way, they may not be able to escape.
"Turn westward!"
Huang Taiji turned his horse's head, took the lead, and rushed towards the west side of Beizhen Mountain.
In fact, Huang Taiji didn't know that if he had a little bit of courage, he would not have gone to a dead end.
But his choice was the same as Liu Yongshun's choice. In front of him, there were more than 20,000 elite Liu's soldiers.
On the banks of the Xihe River in Houtunwei, Guangning (now Fuxin City), a brigade of knights in black uniforms and black armor and black cloaks arrived from afar. Soon, these black knights gathered into black torrents on the riverside.
The soldiers of the Liu family army all looked squinting and silent. The young and cold faces and pairs of eyes that were sharply tempered by the wind and sand outside the gate gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
This is already within the Guangning rear guard and the unmanned land between the Liu family army and Jiannu. It is not that Liu Mingyu doesn’t want to think about these territories, but that he is really no one.
You should know that in southern Liaoning alone, it is almost half of Liaoning Province, but Liu Mingyu has less than two million people in his hands. How can he develop it?
Of course, this place is only more than 130 miles away from Guangning City.
Although Liu Yongshun was quite calm, they drove a total of six or seven hundred miles in less than forty hours, in less than 40 hours. In this way, they drove more than twenty miles per hour.
Don’t think that it is too slow for more than twenty miles. In fact, even the Eight Banners army at their most powerful period, in their crucial battle of fate, the entire army marched for 12 days and had a journey of more than 400 kilometers. Of course, the Eight Banners are a combination of infantry and cavalry, and the marching speed is only about seventy miles per day.
Liu Yongshun said: "Stop and let the soldiers rest for two hours!"
Liu Xingzuo asked, "Why did you stop!"
"Stay off, everyone is tired!"
Liu Yongshun looked at the cavalry soldiers on Thursday and sighed: "There are no more people and horses, so you can't leave!"
"But……"
"Mr. Liu, sharpening a knife will not stop cutting wood!"
Liu Yongshun said lightly: "Everyone dismounts, drinks water and eats, adds two eggs to the war horses, feeds the essence, and then cleans them up after two hours!"
The soldiers of the Liu family army dismounted. They sat on the ground and quickly picked up jerky, milk bumps, fried noodles, canned meat and other foods, and began to eat them. Some soldiers also started feeding the horses with eggs, wheat bran, etc.
Next, it was their desperate moment.
...
At the city of Guangning City, as the main force of the Fifth Brigade of the Liu family army was pursuing the defeated troops of the Later Jin Dynasty, there were only a few hundred people under the city responsible for maintaining order.
These cattle and sheep were seized, with more than 10,000 cattle and tens of thousands of sheep. These were used to compensate for the death of the people of Guangning City. They helped the soldiers of the Liu family defend the city and compensate for the death of an adult strong cattle, a calf and six sheep.
As for the innocent people who died in the city during the attack by the Later Jin cannon, they would be given a cow without sheep. The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were killed or injured, and they would be implemented in accordance with military regulations.
The surrendered Later Jin army had more than 34,000 people, of which more than 20,000 were injured.
Guangning City has reserved a lot of medicinal materials, but there are three or four thousand soldiers and civilians in Guangning City. Of course, medicines are given priority to the soldiers and people of the Liu family in Guangning City.
The Liu family army's rescue team had less than 200 people on the battlefield ambulance company. It was still a bit overwhelmed to treat more than 20,000 wounded people.
The Liu family army set up a battlefield rescue company at the brigade level, while the entire army set up an ambulance regiment. The current colonel leader of the ambulance regiment is Chen Huairen.
As for the other rescue company commanders, they are either Chen Huairen's apprentice, his apprentice, or the students he accepted. The Liu Family Army Rescue Department has unique experience in treating the wounded.
In this battle, the 5th Brigade of the Liu family army had almost no serious injuries and simply bandaged the matter. As for the casualties of the surrendered prisoners, the wounded were classified.
Those who cut their hands and feet, or those who cut their stomachs and intestines with broken stomachs are not needed to be saved at first glance. However, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, the Liu family army rescued the nurses and provided them with a bag of white wine.
White wine does not clean their wounds, but allows them to drink some wine, which can reduce pain, then fall asleep, enter the arms of the god of death without realizing it, and then concentrate on treating those who have healthy limbs.
Of course, it is unfair to do this, but it is humane. Those who are too seriously injured cannot be saved, which will only waste the already scarce manpower, medicine and other wounded time to treat them. It is better to give up and make them less painful when they die.
Those who are injured by rocket launchers or grenade shrapnel, or are trampled by war horses and slashed each other, will concentrate on their full efforts to treat, stop bleeding, anesthesia, clean, suture, and complete in one go, with extremely high efficiency.
However, it is very difficult to treat those wounded soldiers who are shot into the chest or abdominal cavity by shrapnel or lead. Military doctors can only use them as experimental items to cut open and cut the shrapnel and then suture it. This operation is extremely difficult and the mortality rate is extremely high.
However, there are always more than a dozen cases in one or two hundred cases that can succeed. It is already a profit for the wounded soldiers who are bound to die. It is natural to die. Being saved is blessed by God. If you are injured so seriously, God may not be able to save them.
Among the prisoners, there were also differences between the upper and lower levels. Most of the Mongolian vassals surrendered voluntarily. They cooperated with the Liu family army to clean the battlefield, and the wounded were the first to receive treatment.
At the same time, they were also responsible for collecting the bodies. The head level could not be wasted. It was all money and could be taken to the capital to make Emperor Chongzhen happy.
The Mongolians were very willing to accept the work arranged by the Liu family army. They held a knife and chopped the body down to their necks when they saw it, then marinated it with lime, and placed their heads on the Liu family army's cart.
As for the corpses, we should deal with them as soon as possible. So many corpses can easily form bacterial growth. If a plague is caused, it would be very bad.
Guangning City also launched post-war treatment. The destroyed houses were repaired if they could be repaired, and if they could not be repaired, they would be demolished and rebuilt. According to the principles of the Liu family army, those prisoners worked hard and had a meal. Although they worked hard, they all ate coarse grains or grass...
That's right, the soldiers of the Liu family used to treat alfalfa as a dish to stir-fry, fried red peppers in large oil, and then put them in the pot to stir-fry. The soldiers of the Liu family all liked to eat fried alfalfa very much.
However, the Mongolian prisoners did not complain, because they were used to the laws of the jungle and knew very well that the strong had everything, and the weak were at the mercy of others.
As for the escaped soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, they were not so lucky. They ran away with Huang Taiji. Because they ran away in a hurry, they even threw away cattle and sheep. They had to eat but not eat, and drink but not drink. Fortunately, at this time, Liaodong was not short of water, and to the north of Guangning City, there were rivers of all sizes everywhere, especially in the Houtunwei area of Guangning. There were 57 rivers of all sizes, and they could drink them at will.
However, the soldiers of the Liu family army were behind them. As long as they entered the range of the Liu family army's artillery or muskets, the Liu family army would open fire.
When he left Guangning, Huang Taiji and his servants still had a small 100,000 troops. When he arrived at Yingzitun, the Houtunwei of Guangning, Huang Taiji took a rough inventory and found that he had less than 70,000 troops at this time.
