Chapter 452: The injured, regardless of their superiority or inferiority(1/2)
In a panic, I wanted to take off my armor quickly to see where the break was, but the arrows stuck in the armor affected my armor.
Li Mengxi had no choice but to pull out the arrow first.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu also came next to him and helped Li Mengxi pull the arrow out of his armor.
When Li Mengxi was pulling out the arrow, he found that it was not easy to pull it out at once. He had to shake it a few times, then find the gap in the armor, press the armor plate, and pull the arrow out diagonally.
Here, Li Mengxi, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu were unloading arrows, and the sword and shield warriors were watching. Except for a few people who were injured by arrows and went to the wounded barracks early, the remaining sword and shield warriors were all watching.
The arrows were pulled out one by one and placed on the ground, and the swordsmen and shield warriors counted them silently.
In the end, as many as sixteen arrows were pulled out from the armor, fourteen of which were complete arrows. After one was shot into the armor, the arrow shaft fell off, with only the arrow hanging on it, and one was shot into the armor.
Afterwards, the arrow shaft broke, leaving only half of the arrow shaft.
Ten of these sixteen arrows are short crossbow arrows, and there are only six feathered arrows. The firing frequency of crossbows is so low, and the cost of making crossbows is high. Considering the military preparedness of the Yellow Turban Army, the number of crossbows is far less than that of bows. However, just like this,
There were few crossbows and the firing frequency was extremely low. There were two-thirds more crossbow bolts than arrows left on the armor.
No wonder it is often said that crossbows have strong armor-piercing capabilities.
The arrow is drawn out.
A dozen long arrows and short crossbow bolts were thrown on the ground. Liu Bei gathered the arrows into a pile, holding as many as one handful.
Liu Bei handed a handful of arrows to Guan Yu. Guan Yu took the arrows with both hands and weighed them. Guan Yu nodded secretly. This armor is really thick.
This is considered the first battle of the infantry armor, and the defense power of the infantry armor is amazing.
The swordsmen and shield warriors who were watching also saw that the military counselor was wearing a small suit of armor and was hit by arrows, and he looked like a normal person.
Li Mengxi took off his armor one by one, first on his neck, then on his shoulders, then on his breastplate, and then on his skirt.
As soon as the skirt armor was unloaded, Li Mengxi quickly lowered his head and lifted up his clothes to see what was going on with his leg. When he saw it, he realized that a crossbow arrow had penetrated the skirt armor and injured his calf. The wound was not deep, but it bled a lot, and it hurt.
I didn't feel too much pain.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still saying that Bu Renjia was good. When they lowered their heads, they saw the blood on Li Mengxi's legs flowing down his legs.
Liu Bei was suddenly startled, "Xi'er! What's wrong?"
Liu Bei hurriedly leaned over to take a look.
"It's okay." Li Mengxi put down his calf and said casually, "It's a mosquito bite."
A commonly used line in TV dramas, where a tough guy has two bullets piercing his body, and the person is so grand, they say they were bitten by a mosquito.
Li Mengxi has watched many TV series, so he knows his lines subconsciously.
Well, such a calm demeanor makes others feel extraordinary.
Li Mengxi was injured, and Liu Bei was so nervous that he quickly took Li Mengxi to the wounded barracks.
When they arrived at the wounded barracks, Tian Bu was pulling out an arrow for someone else. Liu Bei didn't care about the etiquette, so he opened his mouth and told Tian Bu to stop first, and quickly came over to show Li Mengxi. Liu Bei also knew that Tian Bu had the best medical skills.
Li Mengxi frowned immediately. He was pulling out the arrow, but was he closing it tightly? Can he stop pulling it out halfway?
"Tian Bu, don't panic, do your work!" Li Mengxi shouted to stop Tian Bu.
There was no need for Tian Bu to come, Li Mengxi went to find the medicine himself.
Damn it, arrows are the most troublesome. Who knows if the yellow turban of Gou Ri soaked the arrowheads in the feces, and the infection will be troublesome.
Li Mengxi went straight to the Tianbu cart and found alcohol and some boiled and dried silk strips.
Then find hot water, a basin, and a linen towel.
Li Mengxi found a bunch of things and came out.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu came over to pick up the things and the water basin and wine jar. Neither of them knew what to do next. They wanted to help, but they couldn't. They could only watch Li Mengxi busy himself.
Li Mengxi first wetted a linen towel with hot water, wrung it out, stretched out his leg, and used the linen towel to scrub the blood on his calf until there was no blood left.
Then, he raised his hand and asked Liu Bei for alcohol, "Mr. Xuande, give me the wine."
Liu Bei hugged the wine jar, as cautiously as if he were holding a bomb, and quickly handed the wine jar to Li Mengxi with both hands.
Pour some alcohol from the wine jar into the bowl.
Li Mengxi deliberately picked up the bowl, went up to it and smelled it. The smell of alcohol was very strong, and the alcohol hit his nose.
The alcohol content is not low.
Then, Li Mengxi picked up a thick strip of cloth, kneaded it into a ball, and wet some alcohol into the bowl.
He was about to rub alcohol into the wound, but before he could rub it, the muscles on Li Mengxi's face tensed up and he clenched his teeth.
Carefully, he touched the cloth soaked in alcohol to the wound. After a slight touch, Li Mengxi immediately felt a burning pain from the wound, which made Li Mengxi gasp and his expression became distorted.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were already familiar with alcohol, and it hurt very much when alcohol touched wounds.
Liu Bei was heartbroken and wanted to ask if it hurt, but felt that his words would be in vain, so he shut up.
Li Mengxi took a silk strip and dipped it in alcohol to treat the superficial wound first. After using up one strip, he threw it away and didn't use it again, and then took a new one.
After the debridement was completed, the pain started to increase. Because the wound was caused by an arrow, the wound was relatively deep. Surface debridement could not penetrate deep into the wound for disinfection, so alcohol had to be poured into the wound.
Alcohol is a liquid, and the liquid can reach every detail inside the wound. It is very useful to pour alcohol into minor injuries.
Li Mengxi put his legs flat, gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl and poured alcohol on the wound. This hurt him so much that his face was distorted.
The pain is not just temporary, but the alcohol must remain in the wound for a while. The pain must continue, and you can only endure the pain.
Li Mengxi gritted his teeth and clenched his hands involuntarily, looking in pain. Guan Yu and Liu Beiqian beside him were unable to help and were powerless.
The pain caused by alcohol is very long-lasting, because we don’t know how long it will take for alcohol to achieve a better disinfection effect. To prevent infection and death, we can only try our best to endure the pain for a while.
He endured it until the wound was numb. Li Mengxi was worried and continued to pour alcohol, but there was another burst of pain.
This process was repeated three times and the disinfection was completed.
Not far away, Tian Bu was also disinfecting the wounded with alcohol. The wound of the wounded over there was deeper. When the alcohol was poured into the wound, the pain was even worse. The wounded soldier couldn't bear it and started wailing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After treating the wound, Li Mengxi stood up, and suddenly he felt that his collarbone was still hurting.
So he took off his upper body clothes and saw that his collarbone had also been injured by an arrow.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu came over and took a closer look. They found that not only the collarbone was injured, but also the shoulder and left rib. There were four small wounds in total.
Li Mengxi suddenly felt lucky. Fortunately, he had temporarily put on an extra layer of thick clothing. The clothing could resist it and somewhat reduce the force of the bow and arrow, otherwise the wound would have been deeper.
Li Mengxi went through a battle, and he had several small wounds on his body at one time. They were all skin injuries, and even if the wounds were scarred, they might not be there.
After the trauma was treated, Li Mengxi put on his clothes. Liu Bei asked, "Is this over?"
"Well, it's over." Li Mengxi said.
My own affairs are finished, and there are other things that are not yet finished.
Li Mengxi turned around and glanced at Tian Bu not far away. Tian Bu was still busy treating wounded soldiers.
Li Mengxi withdrew his gaze, looked up at Liu Bei, and said seriously, "Mr. Xuande, just now that I came, you ordered the military doctor to stop and come over to treat me. This is wrong."
It’s inappropriate to not use it, it’s inappropriate to use it directly, and the tone is obviously harsh.
Li Mengxi stared at Liu Bei and continued, "I only have a skin injury, so it doesn't matter if I wait for half an hour. Over there, Tian Bu is treating serious injuries. How can I ignore the seriousness and ignore the emergency and save the minor?"
You are the commander-in-chief of an army, and your words are very important. How can you, the military doctor Tian Bu, dare to take his life? The wounded soldier today is only injured in his arm, which is fine. Tian Bu abandons the wounded soldier and leaves, and the wounded soldier will not be here for a while.
Death. But what if he is seriously injured one day later and cannot delay for a moment. If you ask him to stop to save someone else, isn't that going to endanger someone's life?
This move is unreasonable.”
After Li Mengxi criticized him for a while, Liu Bei took the lesson seriously and gave Li Mengxi a light salute, and Li Mengxi also accepted Liu Bei's salute.
In fact, Liu Bei came over at that time, firstly because he was worried about Li Mengxi's injury, and secondly because Liu Bei and Li Mengxi had different standards for determining injuries.
People in ancient times had strong skin. Li Mengxi felt that being shot through the arm by an arrow was a life-threatening injury, while Liu Bei thought that the arrow just pierced the handle and the other side, so the injury was not that important.
Therefore, Li Mengxi here was slightly injured, and the wounded soldier over there was seriously injured, but his injuries were minor. Liu Bei was in a hurry and lost his way, so he neglected etiquette.
A serious problem was exposed here.
Now Liu Bei will use his power to force Tian Bu to treat the designated wounded. In the future, there will definitely be other generals who will also use their power to forcefully interfere with the medical treatment work. How many people will be killed by then.
After careful consideration, Li Mengxi discussed the regulations for the treatment of wounded soldiers with Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
The core of the regulations is that as long as they are wounded, when they are sent to the wounded barracks, it does not matter whether they are high or low, whether they are the commander of an army or a new recruit.
.
The general's plan was to save him first by making a cut with his hand, but the soldier's intestines had been broken but he was to save him later. This plan was impossible.
Military doctors have the highest arbitrary power to decide who to save first and who to save later.
After discussing with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Li Mengxi saw that Tian Bu, the military doctor over there, seemed to have finished his work. Li Mengxi walked over and asked, "Tian Bu, do you remember what we said before about how to classify minor and serious injuries? Do you still remember the details?"
Tian Bu thought for a moment, "Injuries to the internal organs are the most serious, followed by penetrating injuries, and the rest follow."
What Tian Bu said was exactly the criteria for judging injuries that Li Mengxi and Tian Bu had agreed upon together a long time ago.
Judging the severity of the injury should not be based on how much blood bleeds and whether it looks scary or not. Ordinary people can judge in this way, but military doctors should have more professional judgment methods.
One person's arm was cut off, his flesh and blood were all bruised, and he was bleeding profusely. The other person was stabbed in the stomach with a gun and acted like a normal person, holding his stomach and still joking with others.
