The 121st chapter Guankou guarding the camp (5)

Gao Yingxiang was furious and adopted the most tragic way of attacking the village: ant attacked the village!

"Kill the officers and soldiers..." The soldiers roared slogans, lowered their bodies, let go, and rushed forward desperately. They had nothing, they had been blinded by killing, and they were killed in addition to killing...a group of poor farmers!

Perhaps, their purpose was to fill their stomachs, and perhaps some people were still thinking of revenge, but when they arrived at the battlefield where crossbows and arrows were flying around and swords and guns were blind, they had long forgotten their original purpose, only knew how to rush forward mechanically, and only knew how to kill the officers and soldiers on the other side.

Gao Yingxiang was fully prepared. At the front of the charge, a group of soldiers held huge wooden shields to cover the soldiers holding various weapons. After the charge formation, huge archers followed closely behind and tried to approach the wall of the village and suppress the opponent's shooting.

However, how can a huge wooden shield stop the crossbowman standing on the arrow tower and shooting?

Behind each crossbowman there were archers who were specially wound for him. Therefore, the crossbow arrows at this time were much denser than in field battles. I saw the bandits rolling on the ground one by one, either losing their lives or falling to the ground to wail.

The charger was too lazy to look at his comrades beside him, and he widened his eyes and continued to move forward. Perhaps he was the next one to fall to the ground. Especially the archer, who was the farthest from the giant shield, was the easiest to be shot by the condescending crossbowmen. What's more, under Lin Chunhong's order, the archer poured all the crossbow arrows onto their heads, causing chaos in the archer formation. Before he could reach the range, he lost nearly 30% of the personnel.

It's approaching, it's approaching...

The archers of the Gao family army finally rushed to eighty steps, bent their bows and arrows, and shot on the village wall.

On the wall of the village, there is a crossbowman who hides behind the mercedes and only sticks out his head when shooting arrows. Even so, many crossbowmen still die from arrows: Gao Yingxiang has sufficient troops and a large number of archers, and the density of their bows and arrows exceeds that of the crossbows shot on the wall of the village.

However, Jingzhou archers were protected by the village walls and were condescending, taking advantage of a lot. For a moment, the battle between the two sides became evenly matched.

Seizing the opportunity, the soldiers of the Gao family army were about to push away the thorns and bypass the bamboo thorns, but were hit by the head-on attack of the tiger squatting cannon. The lead was poured into them like a storm, rolling and rotating on countless bandits, bringing out huge blood holes.

The bandits finally rushed to the near the trench and ladders put the wooden boards and long ladders on the trench. The soldiers quickly jumped onto the temporary trench and rushed to the wall of the village. The trench was two meters wide. If they were not careful, the bandits fell into the trench from the constantly rising and falling trench, and were inserted into several blood holes by dense bamboo thorns, losing their lives.

Ahhhhh screamed endlessly!

The whistle generals of the Jingzhou archers were very anxious and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to target the nearby bandits. At the same time, they urgently ordered the spearmen and sword shield to go up to the wall of the village to try to resist the bandits who were preparing to climb over the wall of the village.

After the bandits crossed the trench, they were greeted by dense spikes and stones that kept throwing down. Although some bandits were knocked over to the ground, the red-eyed bandits forgot to fear, pulled a long ladder from the trench, put them on the wall of the village, and turned over and climbed up.

For the bandits, climbing up was a blink of an eye, but how could the elite spearmen allow them to easily climb into the village? A spear was pierced one after another, stabbing them from the ladder to the ground and into the nail array.

As the bandits approached the wall of the village, the bandits' archers had already stopped shooting, and only the crossbowmen of the Jingzhou archers were still busy, trying to prevent the bandits from approaching the wall of the village.

Cheng Shu's preparation camp drew more than 400 good archers and crossbowmen, leaving only less than 500 people. These 500 people were responsible for the task of winding the strings, transporting stones and arrows and other materials, and rescuing the wounded. This task was not easy and it was quite troublesome to organize. A simple field rescue center was set up in the middle of the Guankou camp, and the seriously injured were carried here continuously for simple rescue and treatment. The rescue center also sent dozens of people to go directly to the village wall to simply bandage the slightly injured archers so that the wounded could continue to fight.

The sentry general of the field ambulance station is Chen Sijin, with more than 100 people under his command. Lin Chunhong attaches great importance to these more than 100 people and is preparing to set up a field ambulance station in each battalion to rescue the wounded in time. For any army, the recovered wounded soldiers are the most precious wealth.

Moreover, the field ambulance can also improve the soldiers' courage to fight. From this meaning, Lin Chunhong has to pay attention to it.

This made the middle-ranking official Chen Kui feel very good. After he arrived at the Jingzhou camp, he realized Lin Chunhong's care for ordinary soldiers in an immersive manner. This is very valuable in the Ming Dynasty's atmosphere of not paying attention to the lives of soldiers. Chen Kui believed that the bravery of Jingzhou archers fighting were closely related to their good treatment and meticulous care.

Chen Kui could see at a glance that the Jingzhou archers were enough to deal with Gao Yingxiang's attack. In less than two quarters of an hour, they turned to the field ambulance to watch how Chen Sijin and the others treated the wounded.

The facilities of the ambulance center are quite simple and are basically ineffective against wounds in the chest cavity and the abdomen, but stopping bleeding and preventing infection are quite effective, and even amputation surgery can be performed.

The operation is quite cruel. The injured person needs to be drunk first, and after he faints, he will tie him to the operating table and then perform the operation.

Chen Kui sighed. In the Ming army, if amputation is needed to save his life, such wounded soldiers will generally be abandoned. Will Lin Chunhong leave such wounded soldiers make his burden heavier and heavier? But have you never seen wounded soldiers missing arms and legs in the camp? Could it be that these wounded soldiers were sent back to Jingzhou? Lin Chunhong is preparing to support them for the rest of his life?

Chen Kui kept his doubts in his heart and asked after the war was over.

Chen Kui was in deep thought when suddenly a wounded soldier woke up from the operation and screamed in pain. The nurse who was undergoing the amputation immediately handed over a wooden stick, causing the wounded to bite it in his mouth. However, the severe pain made the wounded turn and turn, making the operation unable to continue.

Chen Sijin was anxious and looked at Chen Kui and scolded, "Didn't you see that I'm not in enough staff here? I'm still in a daze here, come and help hold him down!"

Chen Kui was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped forward step by step, pressing the injured soldier with all his strength. Soon, the injured soldier fainted from pain. Chen Kui wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, couldn't bear to see the cruel operation again, and walked out of the ambulance.

"Hey, it's not easy to be a doctor. It's still a physical job. It's not that tired even if you fight on the battlefield..." Chen Kui couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Yingxiang's attack lasted for three days. These three days were simply torture for the Jingzhou archers. Every day, from the dawn of Mao, Gao Yingxiang's attack rushed like water until it was dark at the hour of You and retreated. Moreover, every night, Gao Yingxiang kept sending troops to shout, beat drums, and even pushed the Fran aircraft out to fire a few shots, making the Jingzhou archers unable to fall asleep peacefully and were in a state of high tension.

Gao Yingxiang has many soldiers and can take a turn for rest, but there are only more than 4,000 archers in Jingzhou. How to rotate? Moreover, in the increasingly intense war, more and more soldiers were injured and injured.

But what is reassuring is that Guo Rupan's head has been sent to Guankou Camp through the fast horse. Chu Wenshan and Lin Chunyi will take up to two days to arrive! Two days? Can the soldiers still support it?

The number of brothers injured and killed was more and more angry, which made the soldiers feel angry. In order to vent their anger, even Lu Shiming, who had always been calm, suggested hanging Guo Rupan's head on the flagpole to humiliate Gao Yingxiang.

But this suggestion was flatly rejected by Lin Chunhong. The reason was: We have killed Guo Rupan at present, and the purpose of this war has been achieved. As long as we withstand Gao Yingxiang's attack, we will win completely. If Guo Rupan's head is used to humiliate Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang will only launch a more fierce attack for the sake of face, and there is no way out to retreat. Now that Guo Rupan is dead, Gao Yingxiang may have learned the news. We secretly gave Gao Yingxiang a way out. Maybe Gao Yingxiang will retreat tomorrow.

Although the generals tend to vent their anger emotionally, they have not lost their minds and have given up their plan to quit.

The archers in Jingzhou had just repelled Gao Yingxiang's attacks, and the soldiers of the Preparatory Battalion were busy repairing the village wall and transporting materials. The soldiers of the Tianwu and Shenwei Battalion seized the time to lean on the village wall for a while. They were too tired, and they almost didn't sleep well for three days and three nights, and their eyes were red.

Lin Chunhong was taking Lu Shiming and Chen Kui to inspect. He saw a archer holding a spear in his hand, his head tilted to one side, sleeping soundly, and a long string of saliva flowed out of the corner of his mouth. A wound on his arm had not been treated in time and was slowly bleeding out. There were too few medical soldiers and were not enough to use them at all, so many minor injuries were not enough to be treated. Lin Chunhong sighed, turned around and took white gauze and hemostatic powder from the busy medical soldiers, and bandaged the wounded soldier.

The wounded soldier was finally awakened and stood up suddenly. When he saw that it was Lin Chunhong, he quickly marched to pay homage to him. Lin Chunhong helped the archer up and waved his hand and said, "Get the time to rest, don't pay attention to us, let's look around!"

In order not to disturb the soldiers' rest, Lin Chunhong waved and took Chen Kui and Lu Shiming down the wall. Chen Kui said as he walked: "General Lin, the only energetic left is the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp. Next time Gao Yingxiang comes again, it is best to send cavalry to take the initiative to catch him off guard. Our family probably won't be able to hold on!"

Lin Chunhong and Lu Shiming nodded and agreed to Chen Kui's suggestion.

Chen Kui has made Jingzhou archers look at him with admiration these days. When the battle situation is urgent, Chen Kui ignored his identity as a senior official and put on plate armor, holding a spear, fighting side by side with the archers, completely treating himself as an ordinary archer. Especially Chen Kui's archery is very accurate, and the arrows aim at the thief officers. Every time the crossbow arrow is shot, he will gain something, which makes the archers around him admire this rootless person from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Kui no longer avoided suspicion, and asked Lin Chunhong directly if he had any suggestions or ideas.

Lin Chunhong thought of Chen Kui's frowning a few days ago and realized that Chen Kui's intention to oppose stealing the camp. This made Lin Chunhong admire him. It turned out that he had been in Liaodong for six years and had a keen feeling about the battlefield.
