Chapter 58: The Battle of Niangziguan

Princess Pingyang put on her battle armor and hurried up the tower.

As far as the eye can see, the Turks are rushing toward Niangziguan with makeshift wooden shields.

Under the skillful command of the flag officer, the Baniu crossbow troops continued to fire downwards.

But this time the Turks were smarter, and their formations were very scattered. It was difficult for one crossbow arrow to hit many people, and there would be many empty arrows.

After the Turks had sacrificed thousands of lives, they successfully rushed to the gate. The hooks and ladders began to unfold, and the battering ram also began to attack the city gate.

Fire oil, gold soup, bows and arrows, and stones were thrown down desperately.

This time the Turks really went all out. From the end of the morning meeting around nine o'clock, they continued to attack until sunset.

More than fifty of the Eight Ox Crossbows have been scrapped, and the city gate has been hammered into pieces countless times.

In the end, Princess Pingyang ordered the city gate to be completely blocked with huge rocks, thus creating one less breakthrough.

Countless Turk corpses were placed under the city wall, raised several meters high! The smell of the golden soup made the artist almost faint.

More than 20,000 Turks have fallen, but the momentum of the attack is still fierce.

Kang Sumi stood fifty steps away from the city and directed the cannon fodder to charge wave after wave, not taking his own lives seriously at all.

Wenyi wanted to shoot him in the head with a sniper rifle several times, but he held it back for the sake of the overall situation.

Now we want to give the Turks an illusion: as long as they have the courage to charge, they can take Niangzi Pass! Instead of directly attacking them.

If these more than 200,000 Turks are allowed to return to the grassland safely, they will come back again in a few years! Therefore, literature and art can only watch the two sides engage in anxious hand-to-hand combat, and there is nothing they can do.

The strength of the Tang army was also rapidly depleting. In one day, 3,000 people were killed and 4,000 were disabled.

Hua Mulan, Dou Xianniang and other generals were covered in blood and were resting against the pillars holding their weapons.

Around six o'clock, the sound of the Turks' horns suddenly changed, and the momentum of the Turks' forward attack also stalled.

Then it retreated like a tide.

The Tang army also breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they were about to cheer for victory, they saw another group of Turkic soldiers rushing up. The leader was an old acquaintance, Tu Li! The morale of the Tang army had just relaxed. This was the time when morale was at its weakest. Pingyang

The princess quickly ordered the rotation.

A new round of hand-to-hand fighting is about to begin! Princess Pingyang, Hua Mulan and others persisted until eight o'clock in the evening, and then they replaced Chai Shao, Ma Sanbao and others who had rested for the day.

Wenyi also followed him down the tower.

Wenyi couldn't calm down after returning to the guest room.

After walking around the house several times, he ran to Princess Pingyang and asked for help to treat the injured.

Princess Pingyang said in surprise: "Wenyi, you are mainly responsible for intelligence affairs now, and your tasks are also very heavy. Why do you think about treating diseases and saving people?"

Wenyi said heartbrokenly: "Commander, the intelligence aspect is on the right track. Wen Erba and Wen Sanwu are competent. However, our army has too many wounded soldiers and only dozens of medical officers, which cannot cope with so many sick patients.

Besides, now is the time to fight for strength. Wang Tianhu and I are limited in what we can do. It is better for us to act as temporary medical officers and save as many wounded people as possible. They are all good men of our Datang Dynasty. I really can't watch it.

They died in pain because they could not get treatment!”

Princess Pingyang thought for a while and said: "I can agree to let you join the medical officers as long as it does not affect the intelligence affairs, but it will definitely not affect Wang Tianhu's combat effectiveness. Their role at critical moments is crucial!"

Wenyi said happily: "Please don't worry, Commander, I will make arrangements!"

That night, Wenyi led two hundred special force members to take off their uniforms and transform into field doctors.

Most of the injured soldiers were injured by swords and swords. The special forces had received scientific and systematic medical rescue training, and were able to perform surgical bandaging at their fingertips.

Wang Tianhu was left with 100 people as an emergency team, and 200 modern surgical nurse-level team members were enough to deal with the current situation of the injured.

Professional scalpels, needle holders, catgut, medical iodine, Mafei powder and other epoch-making medical items are all available.

Those doctors who consider themselves professionals were dumbfounded.

Wenyi calculated the consumption rate of the medicine, and borrowed the Holy Cloth of Hope from Dou Xianniang and Hua Mulan, and sent five special forces members to quickly return to the "Hope" command base to immediately expedite the production of medical medicine, and then bring as many as possible

Return needed medicines.

Penicillin is also on the list.

An ancient medicinal art like Ma Fei Powder was handed over to a few dedicated old doctors and allowed them to make it themselves.

The number of wounded continues to increase, and the arts and crafts have not been spared. They have been busy with high-intensity surgeries all night, and the special operations team members have also begun to take turns to rest.

When the sky turns white, literature and art, which are still in the period of growth and development, finally can no longer hold on.

Regardless of the blood all over his body, he leaned against a broken wall and fell asleep.

Princess Pingyang started asking about the war situation as soon as she got up.

Knowing that the battle at night was as fierce as during the day, he frowned and asked, "How many casualties have our troops suffered?"

Chai Shao smiled weakly and said: "Currently, eight thousand people have been killed and about seven thousand injured.

But the good news is that Wenyi suddenly brought two hundred doctors yesterday, who are extremely good at treating trauma.

According to Mr. Zhang from the Medical Department, the techniques they used were unheard of, but they were extremely efficient, and almost everyone who could still breathe could be saved.

Greatly reduced the mortality rate of the wounded.

This is also the best news for our army so far."

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up and she said: "The news has spread, saying that our army has invited five hundred miracle doctors, who can save anyone who is still breathing! Don't be afraid of getting hurt.

If the order continues, the pension for those who are killed in battle will be doubled! Those who are still injured will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land!"

After the messengers left, Princess Pingyang asked again: "What are the casualties on the Turkic side?"

Chai Shao smiled happily this time and said: "According to the latest news reported on Wen 28, more than 50,000 Turks have been killed in battle, and the number of injured cannot be counted. Currently, the number of troops available to the Turks does not exceed 160,000.

The Turks suffered heavy losses this time!"

Princess Pingyang asked again: "How much kerosene is left in our arrows?"

Chai Shao thought for a while and said: "Half of the eight-niu crossbow arrows have been consumed, and most of the crossbow machine has been scrapped.

The kerosene is already low, but now there is less than half left. I need to ask my father to send more quickly.

If the Turks continue to attack regardless of the cost, we can hold on for ten days at most!"

Princess Pingyang said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I just let them attack by force. I will destroy them under Niangziguan! Let them not dare to step out of the grassland again in the next twenty years!"

Although Chai Shao knew Princess Pingyang's military deployment, he knew nothing about the secret operations in literature and art.

Princess Pingyang makes a clear distinction between public and private matters. The literary and artistic aspects are extremely confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone easily.

Chai Shao looked around and saw all the trusted guards before approaching Princess Pingyang and whispered in Princess Pingyang's ear: "Xiu Ning, where does that literature and art come from?

Although he is dedicated to us, I can't see through this person at all, and I feel a little uneasy."

Princess Pingyang thought for a while and said: "Husband, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but literature and art are closely related. He is not one of ours, and he is only acting on orders to help us.

I have promised that person not to tell anyone about literature and art.

As long as you, husband, have no worries about literature and art.

Literature and art here will only listen to my orders, husband, don’t go into details."

Although Chai Shao did not receive a satisfactory answer, he was also a man of honor. Since his wife trusted literature and art so much, he did not ask any more questions.

After the two handed over command, Chai Shao went down to the tower and took the time to rest.

Regarding the Turks, Jieli's heart ached.

In an instant, only 170,000 of the 250,000 troops he brought were left.

It had only been a day! Some tribes could not bear the losses and began to suggest to him to withdraw their troops. However, the tribe leaders who had already suffered heavy losses were not happy and insisted on continuing to attack.

At this time, there was a huge quarrel in front of him.

Finally, after an hour of long debate, Jieli made the decision to win Niangzi Pass at all costs.

All tribes were divided into three formations according to their numbers, each with 50,000 people. Each team attacked for six hours, regardless of casualties! The brutal offensive and defensive battle lasted for two days and two nights! The soldiers at Niangziguan were already exhausted.

The Turks were also exhausted from the killing.

Although the anxious battle was not as brutal as it was at the beginning, the casualties on both sides remained high.

On May 17th, the sky was gray and drizzle slowly fell, making the battlefield look even colder and crueler.

Wenyi has been busy treating people for the past two days. Now the name of Dr. Wen has been spread among the Tang army. As long as there is still breath, even if the person has a pierced intestine and a rotten stomach, Dr. Wen can cure him!

An arrow can be reattached, and the limbs with only a little flesh attached to them can be reattached! It is no problem to capture a few Turkic prisoners and steal their blood to extend their lives.

Now the front line has begun to pay attention to capturing more prisoners.

They all thought that when they were about to die, they would ask Dr. Wen to take some blood to save their lives! Even the two hundred apprentices he brought with him had special skills.

Nowadays, wherever literature and art go, people salute him from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as he was about to perform suturing surgery on a soldier whose right hand was cut to the bone with a knife, Wen Erba hurried in and said, "Young Master, the commander has summoned you for something."

The literary and artistic subordinates continued to thread the needle unhurriedly and said: "Is the matter urgent?"

Wen Erba thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be too urgent."

Wenyi nodded and said: "Okay, you go back and tell the commander, I will go over after completing this operation."

Wen Erba handed over his hands and left.

Wen Yi said to the young soldier gently: "Goudan, you are lucky that the bones were not broken, otherwise even if I fixed them for you, you would not be able to hold a knife with this hand.

After I sew it up for you later, you go to the medicine boiling point and get an injection of penicillin. Remember, it’s penicillin, don’t get it wrong.”

Goudan said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Doctor Wen. Is my injury really okay?"

Wenyi nodded and said: "It's a small matter, as long as there is no inflammation, it will be fine after a few months of treatment. It will just leave a scar.

But you should not get wet or do strenuous exercise while you are recuperating.

Remember!”

Goudan hurriedly nodded in agreement.
