Chapter 2687 Great War
Bai Erlang left with her feeling refreshed. In order to facilitate management, he also ran to his room to pack his luggage, took his two guards and left.
Oh, they were given to him by Mingda to protect Bai Erlang's safety.
He wants to stay in the hospital tent.
He handed the baggage to the guard and almost shed tears when he and Man Bao walked out of the city, "You don't know how difficult it is to manage the arsenal. I don't want to take care of it at all, but Bai Shan said this is the easiest. If
This won’t work either, His Majesty will definitely be angry.”
Although you are here to take credit, you can't really just do nothing, right?
Man Bao also complained to him, "The medical accounts are also difficult to manage. This Eastern Expedition is different from the last Western Expedition."
She said: "During the Western Expedition, General Ashina's people were in charge of supply and logistics. We only treated the sick and saved people, and used whatever medicine was available. But here, we have to take care of everything ourselves. The good thing is that our medicine
There are a lot more medicines that need to be used. There are too many disadvantages. You will know when you go there. Alas, I feel tired~"
Man Bao said: "When we get to the hospital, you have to help me."
Bai Erlang was no stranger to this. During the Western Expedition, he helped manage this together with Bai Shanyin or Liu Huan. He was familiar with registering and compiling medicinal materials.
He can also give people medicine, bandages and knives. Generally, it is not difficult for him to treat minor injuries.
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and asked, "How about calling Liu Huan here too?"
Man Bao shook his head and refused, "He is from the Ministry of Industry and came here on a serious errand. The temple where I live is not big, and we don't need so many talents."
Liu Huan had a superior, and he always followed orders. Unlike Bai Erlang, who was a non-staff member, he was picked up from the Hanlin Academy because the emperor wanted him to perform meritorious service.
He can be moved wherever he belongs and is needed, so Manbao doesn't have any psychological burden at all if he wants to use him.
The two of them rode back to the medical tent. Man Bao took him directly to the pharmacy and called Wen Tiandong over. "Although you all know each other, I still want to introduce you again. This is Bai Hanlin. From now on, we will work at the Imperial Medical Department."
He will be responsible for the logistics, Wen Tiandong, you will assist him."
Wen Tiandong responded respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The teacher was so good. Their medicinal materials were changed. The teacher turned around and called the consort to guard them to see who dared to reach out.
Bai Erlang walked around the pharmacy and the warehouse behind it, and was surprised, "So many medicinal materials? Is this just the first batch?"
Manbao nodded.
Bai Erlang was speechless, "I remember during the Western Expedition, the entire army only had so many medicinal materials for the whole journey, right?"
Man Bao said: "This time our Imperial Medical Office prepared in advance. Not only did the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate five million yuan, but the empress and others raised more than ten million yuan, which is much more than the cost of medicine during the Western Expedition."
In the past, when the army set out, the medicine expenses were saved from the food and grass given to the army by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Basically, they were medicines for stopping bleeding and replenishing blood, and more were gone.
It was also because the medicinal materials were fully prepared this time that the survival rate of the soldiers was so high.
Bai Erlang took the list and compared it, asking: "When will the next batch of medicinal materials arrive?"
Man Bao shook his head, "On the way, there is no news yet."
"The next war is not far away, these should be enough, right?"
"Looking at the number of casualties, I hope Your Majesty and others will spare their lives."
The emperor was taking his generals to survey the terrain on the spot. He also wanted to capture Liaodong City at the minimum cost.
He stood on the high ground and looked in the direction of Liaodong City, and said to Zhao Guogong: "Send troops to surround Liaodong City tomorrow, and bring the garrison from Gaimou City to help. We can set up an ambush here..."
Zhao Guogong also thought that this place was very suitable for setting up an ambush, and said: "It can also lead the soldiers and horses from Liaodong City out."
"We captured Xuantu and Hengshan, and the time is fast. They will definitely want to fight for them. If we lose once..."
Ashina immediately said: "I am willing to serve as bait."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead."
Since they were going to pretend to be defeated, the military doctors couldn't come forward too much, at least not in large numbers, so Zhou Man only ordered eight students with good riding skills, four male students, four female students, and nine people carried the horse.
Carrying the medicine box and accompanying the army with the old military doctor.
The army was stationed forty miles away from Liaodong City. When General Ashina and others went to besiege the city, they stayed behind with the remaining soldiers and horses. Manbao rode up on horseback with Western cakes and a small group of soldiers.
, stood on tiptoes and looked towards Liaodong City.
General Ashina led his men to scold and fight under the city gate. The people in Liaodong City couldn't bear it. When they opened the city gate, a general led his troops and fought with General Ashina. They fought for an hour and charged and killed him twice.
, the opponent may find that they cannot win, and General Ashina cannot kill them all or attack the city, so he calls for gold and withdraws his troops.
The garrison in Liaodong City later withdrew from the city. General Ashina only had his men chase and kill them for a while. When the arrows on the city gate were shot down, he immediately had his men retreat and withdrew.
Of course, during the evacuation, all the corpses and wounded soldiers that could be dragged away were taken away.
Man Bao heard the sound, turned around and mounted his horse, "Let's go back."
They ran back, and soldiers had already come back to inform them in advance, shouting: "The general has withdrawn his troops——"
So the medical tent and the kitchen became busy at the same time. Manbao dismounted and ordered: "Prepare two more pots, heat up the hot water, and start boiling the medicine now. Are the medicine packages ready?"
Zhou Liru followed behind and said, "Everything is ready."
Man Bao nodded, "Let Wen Tiandong sort out the injured."
The soldiers carried back all the corpses and wounded soldiers, putting the dead ones aside, and carrying the still-living ones to the medical tent.
General Ashina wiped his face and began to count the number of people. At the same time, he asked people to keep an eye on Liaodong City to see if anyone came out to clean the battlefield.
There were still many knife wounds and arrow wounds, but this time the proportion of arrow wounds was larger.
Fortunately, not all arrows have barbs.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to prepare for the operation.
We have already experienced it once, and this time the students are in good order, at least their faces are not pale.
Man Bao took out the arrowhead and immediately pressed the wound with a medical pack. He held it with one hand and took a needle to stop the bleeding with the other hand. After a while, he picked up the medical pack and began to suture him to stop the bleeding.
Xibing went to treat minor injuries, and Manbao was alone again now.
After Wen Tiandong finished dividing the patients, he also came over to help. The busiest thing at the moment was the medical tent.
It took until the afternoon to finish treating all the injured. After everyone washed their hands, they squatted in the camp with steamed buns to eat while watching them dispose of the bodies.
For those who were killed in battle, their wooden signs should be collected and sent back to their families together with their pensions.
