"The blood extracted can already be seen with very thin pus. The patient has a high fever, cough, and weakened breathing sound in his lungs... All of these are signs of blood accumulation and suppuration. If he doesn't open his chest immediately, he will not live for two months." Xiong Jing was still in a coma with high fever and coma, and stood by his bed. Sogdian was obscurely translating the sudden description of the condition. Among the people who were attending the auditors, in addition to the mission doctor Theofrastes, there were Neacas, Crimenides and the confused Zaras.

Zaras had seen Xiong Jing from afar in Chu State, but that was many years ago. Even if he could remember Xiong Jing's appearance, Xiong Jing was only fourteen or five years old at that time. Now Xiong Jing is lying on the bed and is pale and thin. Even if Zhao Fei is standing next to the couch, it is difficult to recognize that this is his son with his eyes alone.

"What we need to do now is to open the chest cavity, find and sew the blood vessels that are constantly bleeding inside. We also need to find the cause of the infection. Maybe, maybe it was the broken iron left in his chest when the witchcraft exploded, or maybe it was some other foreign object. These can only be done by opening the chest." Sogdie continued. "I beg you to help me, and ask the Qinni people to prepare some necessary items for me..."

With a pale face, he suddenly took out a list of materials prepared and had a cold sweat on his back. Fengli had already prepared the equipment and materials for opening his chest for him, which was a helpless choice to treat the dead horse as a living horse. If the operation was not successful, Da Ao would die if he could not hold on to the second chest opening operation, which was equivalent to killing Da Ao. But if he did not open his chest, the high fever would turn into a low fever in a few days. According to previous anatomical results, low fever was a sign that the infection spreads to the entire chest cavity. At that time, blood accumulation would coagulate, and then a thick layer of blood plates would form on the lung lobes and pleura. At this point, there was no hope of resurrection.

Sogdian News took over the list of materials and read it carefully: "...a clean room is needed; about fifty ram skins are needed, and ten qualified female sewing workers are needed; at least three carpenters are needed; at least ten sides are needed, and more surfaces are needed; at least half a betfish glue is needed; and four soldiers of the strongest ones are needed..."

The materials needed for the artillery were greatly surprised by everyone. Theofrastus asked puzzledly before Sogdian's knowledge was finished: "Why do you need fifty ram skins? Why..."

"As long as the ram skin has no pores in the ** area, the airbag sewn will be sealed." Under the question of everyone, I suddenly had to give some explanation. "The lungs can breathe in the chest cavity, but after opening the chest cavity, it cannot breathe, so we must sew a larger lung, which is so big that it can wrap all the patients and doctors in, so that the patient will not die because he cannot breathe..."

In the later years of the 18th century, with the discovery of oxygen and carbon dioxide, people gradually understood some principles of breathing. For example: air is necessary for life, the human body absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, and venous blood forms arterial blood through the breathing of the lungs. These principles that humans only understand for thousands of years have become common sense after more than two thousand years.

The first difficulty in thoracic surgery is that the chest cavity is originally an enclosed space, and positive and negative pressure are formed through the expansion and contraction of the chest cavity. The internal air pressure of the chest cavity is completely consistent with the outside, and there is no positive and negative pressure, the lungs will immediately lose the ability to breathe.

Because of this, death is not terrifying, but common sense. After asking Xiong Jing for advice, the method he thought was quite clever, just like the sheepskin raft of the Chu army engineer or a blower for a converter. He ordered people to sew a sealed airbag with ramskin, and then put all the patients and doctors into this skinbag. By artificially pulling the bellows at the back of the skinbag, creating negative and positive pressure to help the lungs expand and force the lung lobe to breathe. If there is no such large airbag that forces the lung lobe to breathe, after the chest is opened, the patient will soon form tension pneumothorax, and the mediastinum swings and respiratory failure.

Air sac is a must for chest opening, and anesthesia is also a must for chest opening. Hao's anesthesia cannot be general anesthesia. It only makes people excited and temporarily forget the physical pain, but the body itself will react due to severe pain. The pain of sawing the sternum or ribs with a bone saw cannot be resisted by Hao's anesthesia. Without general anesthetic, you can only use a rough way to hold the patient and complete the entire operation in the shortest time possible.

With Chu's explanation, including Neacas, who had originally opposed staying for this, everyone felt that staying for five days was very valuable, which meant that humans took another step towards unknown areas. Crimenides affirmed that Chu's chest opening surgery would become the focus of discussion in the known world, and he himself would be hired by Alexander University as the most honorable bachelor of purple robe.

If it was a Greek doctor, his surgery became the focus of the known world, and he was hired as a bachelor of purple robe by the Alexander University Park, the most famous in the world, which should be the greatest honor that a doctor could achieve. But suddenly he was a doctor in the King's Court of Chu and a servant of Da Ao of Chu. He had no feelings for these honors. He only cared about whether Da Ao could be saved. If he could not be saved, he could only apologize for his death.

After coming out of Neacas, while Xiong Jing was awake for a moment, he knelt in front of the bed and told loudly: "Da Ao's chest is bleeding, and I can only open my chest and perform it. This is a life-threatening death..."

"Cough cough... I'm going to die long ago, why should I save you again?...Cough cough...Cough cough..." Although I suddenly knelt on the head of the bed, Xiong Jing still felt that he was far away in the sky, and at the same time, he felt that he was constantly spinning. The moment he was hit by the arrow, Xiong Jing knew that he would die. Fortunately, everything was arranged properly, and his wife and son would definitely restore Chu State in the future.

Suddenly understanding Xiong Jing's psychology, Xiong Jing said, "I'm going to die early" not once or twice. Every time he would warn him. So many generals led, so many soldiers died in battle, but Da Ao, who led them, did not die. This is a kind of escape. Xiong Jing didn't want to escape, and he wanted to go to the underworld immediately to meet his ministers and subjects, but Feng Li and others stopped him, so that he could not get what he wanted.

After saying that, he bowed his head and left. Lu Yangyan on one side was speechless. He also bowed to Xiong Jing and followed him out.

"Da Ao Ruo died..." he chased and said.

"If Da Ao dies, I will die too." He turned around and looked at Lu Yangyan and replied calmly.

"The mother country is about to perish, and Da Ao cannot die!" Lu Yangyan was not here to ask for guilt, he came to ask Tu not to let Xiong Jing die. After saying that, Lu Yangyan knelt down to Tu and bowed to Tu. Seeing that he was like this, Tu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"If you are protected by the Grand Master's Destiny, Da Ao will not die; if you do not protect the Grand Master's Destiny..." Even if the Baidi people promised to give five days, the surgical instruments must be complete; even if the surgical instruments are complete, the surgical process must be smooth; even if the surgical process is smooth, there must be no infection after the operation... In the era without antibiotics, opening the chest is equivalent to stepping into the underworld. Suddenly, he stopped talking. He turned around and staggered away, no longer looking at Lu Yangyan who was kneeling on the ground.

“Let it go, let it go—!”

The military order shouted in the cannon room on the earth slope. With the order, the sound of cannons that had just stopped in the trench roared again. Shotballs were flying, and Qin soldiers who were stepping on the bodies of their comrades and were hit by the siege by the huge silk screen. They fell like dead leaves and fell into a wide trench full of corpses. After a few days of siege, the west wall of Shouying had become a hell on earth. The sound of cannons never stopped from morning to night. Smoke, corpses, spears, swords and shields, and death enveloped this small piece of land, harvesting the lives of countless Qin soldiers.

The Qin army's troops were no longer strong, and the simple siege method allowed the defenders' bastion defense to maximize their efficiency. Thousands of Qin soldiers died in the two wide and wide chasms every day. The Qin army was unable to break through the obstacles of the giant wire mesh, but they could not resist the attacks of more than 200 artillery pieces. In order to defend Shouying to the greatest extent, the Grand Sima mobilized a total of fifteen artillery pieces on the cannons, totaling 360 artillery pieces.

Although these artillery were not all arranged on the bastion west of the city, the artillery in the west of the city was the most dense. It was difficult for the Qin army to break through the first wide chasm and it was difficult for the second wide chasm to break through. Even if it broke through the second wide chasm, it would not be able to break through the sword and shield formation composed of more than 10,000 tribal warriors.

After the Battle of Sand Sea, the Qin army directly used the captured coalition soldiers' armor and spears. Unfortunately, most of the coalition soldiers chose to die in battle, so there were few complete giant armors, only the broken ones. Even if they were repaired, the Qin army that quickly moved south could only repair them while walking, and the armor of most Qin soldiers was not complete.

The armor was defective, and the muddy, broken, and undulating terrain behind the broad trench made the Qin army's spear formation extremely poor. Once attacked by tribal warriors, the soldiers in the array were in a hurry. The entire spear formation quickly disintegrated in this close-fitting battle, and then a massacre. Unlike the Chu army, these Baiyue warriors also liked to cut off the enemy's heads as a mark of courage, so the rear of the broad trench were full of headless corpses of the Qin army.

Wang Jian, standing on the top of Zijin Mountain outside Shouying City, once again witnessed the complete defeat of the Qin army. Most of the Qin army, a lieutenant, was consumed in the two wide trenches with countless artillery buried. Two of them rushed through the trenches, and more than 3,000 were killed by Yuemen warriors before they even formed the array. Wang Jian, who couldn't bear to see again, sighed and said, "What should I do if the Jing people defended the trenches with witch tools and then attacked me with swords and shields?"

"Only I can only be annihilated!" Wu Goubei was still the original point of view. "Or it may attack from all sides and force the Jing people to divide their troops to defend them."

"It's been too long, February is approaching, and the Huai River is thawing soon." Liu Chi disagreed with the Anfu, because there was not enough time.

"Then ask the general to attack from all sides and blow up the Jingren city wall." Wu Goubei could only retreat and seek second place.

"So what if you explode?" Qiang Xu pointed to the defensive path in the city. "There are also wide trenches in the Jingren City, and there are also witches in the wide trenches."

"What if that?" This is not OK, and that is not OK. Wang Jian was very disappointed.

"May order 100,000 people to attack fiercely and defeat the Jing people." Bai Lin saw Wang Jian's mentality very early. He always went to the battle with one lieutenant and one lieutenant, and was unwilling to lose his soldiers. Of course, this is not possible. He had to suppress the troops from the beginning and attack saturatedly, otherwise there would be more soldiers sacrificed.
