Chapter 240 Wounded Barracks
"Ba~" Li Zhang accidentally didn't notice his feet, but he stepped on a mud pit made of blood, and a lot of blood was splashed on the hem of his shoes and clothes. He even saw a piece of finger floating in the blood pit.
The corpses were everywhere. Even if Li Zhang tried his best to look into the distance, the end of his sight was still corpses. Rows of Song soldiers cleaning the battlefield were carrying swords. Whenever they saw the Dangxiang people lying on the ground, they would have to make up for it regardless of their lives. Screams from time to time on the battlefield attracted group of crows, landing on the dead trees beside them and staring at the feast in front of them.
Li Zhang asked himself that he was not very brave and was very familiar with corpses. After all, he was a doctor and he had never killed anyone, so he thought he would be immune to the situation on the battlefield, but when he saw the cruelty and blood on the battlefield with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel nauseous.
"Wow~" At this time, Jinshan next to him finally couldn't help it, and ran to the side and vomited. The vomiting sound was like a magical sound, which made the person who heard it even want to vomit even more.
What Li Zhang even more unbearable was that the smell on the battlefield was too smelly, not only the smell of blood, but also many people were stolen and their internal organs flowed all over the ground. The stench could make people faint. Li Zhang also felt his brain hurt, and his stomach was even more overwhelmed.
"Join the army, just vomit if you want to vomit. It's more comfortable to vomit. Last time I was fighting with the musket camp, I vomited in the dark, but as long as I adapt, it's okay." At this moment, Qin Huaizhi, who accompanied Li Zhang to the battlefield, saw that his face was wrong, and immediately said with a smile.
Although Qin Huaizhi was an eunuch, as a military supervisor, he stayed in the musket army with Hu Yan Shouxin during the war. Of course, he was just supervising the battle and did not consume much effort. As for Hu Yan Shouxin, Cao Ma and others, they were already tired and lying in Tuoyuan Village to breathe.
"It's okay, I... I can hold on!" Li Zhang held back at this time. After saying that, he closed his eyes and breathed slowly. In fact, the residual limbs and internal organs on the battlefield did not have much impact on him. What he endured the most was the smell. His nose was relatively sensitive, so he was so uncomfortable.
In addition, Di Qing and Wild Dog came with Li Zhang. Wild Dog had no reaction to the tragic situation on the battlefield. It was the first time Di Qing saw such a tragic scene, and his face was a little unnatural. After all, no matter how successful he achieved in the future, he was still a young man who had never been to the battlefield before.
After a while, Jinshan vomited completely, and then dragged his body to the point of being weak and said: "I used to feel that fighting was nothing, but more people died, but today I saw it, which was an eye-opener. Fortunately, I was not sent to the army, otherwise I would have to die there as soon as I went to the battlefield."
Li Zhang also recovered at this time. At that time, the few people were walking around the battlefield together. Of course, they did not dare to get too close. They just walked around the battlefield that had been cleaned up behind. At this time, many injured soldiers were already carried out from the pile of dead people, and some even came to clean up the weapons, arrows, etc. on the ground, and even the armor on the dead people would be stripped off. After all, these can be reused.
At first, Li Zhang was a little curious about the battlefield, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't feel anything anymore. Especially when he saw many Song soldiers being seriously injured, they moaned painfully, which made him sigh. He returned to Tuoyuan Village and began to help the military doctor treat the injured soldiers.
The Song Dynasty attached great importance to medicine, and there were even specialized medical departments in the imperial examinations. Therefore, the medicine of the Song Dynasty was very developed in ancient times, and many famous doctors emerged. There were also special military doctors in the border army, but the number was relatively small. When Li Zhang came to the wounded barracks, he found that the entire barracks were injured and injured soldiers who had no time to treat them. Some of them had a bad temper and even started to curse.
Of course, the wounded soldiers who can curse are generally not too serious, at least they cannot die for the time being. The real serious ones are those soldiers with broken limbs or excessive blood loss. Many of them have fallen into coma. Li Zhang entered the tent and looked at the treatment methods of the military doctors. He found that it was nothing more than three steps of cleaning, applying medicine, and bandaging. Of course, some also require decoctions, and bone correction, which are commonly used methods for traditional Chinese medicine for external trauma.
However, Li Zhang shook his head secretly when he saw this. Although these treatments were effective, some of them were still too slow. So he immediately gave a few instructions to the wild dog next to him, and the other party immediately left. In a short while, he took the medicine box that Li Zhang had been carrying with him.
"Hurry, help me hold the wound!" At this moment, the medical officer in the military camp shouted to the little disciple beside him. This time the wound was carrying in was a heavy bleeding soldier. A wound on his leg was half a foot long, and the blood was rushing out like a spring water, and the powder poured up was washed away.
When the little apprentice heard the medical officer's order, he immediately squeezed the wound with both hands. Then the medical officer poured a packet of medicine powder on the wound, and then wrapped the wound and medicine powder tightly with gauze. This method may be effective for ordinary wounds, but the wounded soldier obviously injured the large blood vessel. As soon as the gauze was tied, it was stained with blood again. The blood that penetrated out continued to flow down the thighs.
"Forget it, let it go, let it go!" The medical officer looked at the wounded soldier who was bleeding and sighed and waved his hand. With his experience, he naturally knew that less than one ten years of wounded soldiers like this who could not stop their blood and energy could survive in the end. Although he also wanted to save the other party, there was no way, and there were more wounded soldiers in the future that needed him to treat, so there was no need to waste all his time on him.
"Doctor, please save my brother. He killed five Dangxiang cavalry with his own hands!" Hearing the doctor's words, the two soldiers carrying the wounded suddenly "punched" and knelt down on the ground and begged, saying that they and the wounded were both fellow villagers and brothers in the army, and they were usually brothers. Now that they heard that their brothers' lives were to be handed over to God, they naturally refused to give up.
"It's useless for you to beg me. Take him back and try to let him drink more water. If the blood from the wound can be stopped and he doesn't have a fever in the future, he might be able to save his life." The military doctor waved his hand again at this time, and his expression was a little cold. He had already been numb to this situation. After all, he had seen too many dead people in his life.
"Let me try it!" But at this moment, Li Ping walked in with the medicine box and said.
"Who are you?" The military doctor couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Li Zhang coming in. He was just concerned about treating the wounded soldiers and did not notice Li Zhang and the others who had been standing at the door for a long time.
"My name is Li Zhang, but I am just a small army member in the army. I have learned medical skills before. I just saw that the injured barracks were not enough, so I came to help." Li Zhang said as he raised the medical box in his hand to prove that he knew medical skills.
When he heard that Li Zhang took the initiative to help and even brought up the medical box, the military doctors also relaxed. In fact, this situation was very common. After all, there were too few military doctors in the army, so every time during a war, civilian doctors would be recruited to help, and some people who knew medical skills would come to help, so he was not surprised by Li Zhang.
"Can you cure his injuries?" However, the military doctor quickly pointed at the wounded soldier who could not stop the bleeding and asked Li Zhang curiously.
"I haven't checked his injuries carefully, so I can't be sure, but do my best!" Li Zhang said with a smile.
"This... can you do it?" At this time, the two companions of the wounded soldier looked at Li Zhang with some doubts and said, "They can't blame them, because Li Zhang is too young, and even the elementary apprentice who is fighting with the military doctor is older than Li Zhang."
"I dare not say that I can definitely let him survive, but it is okay to help him stop bleeding!" Li Zhang smiled again at this time. After saying that, he walked to the wounded soldier who was lying down, and then reached out to open the bandaged gauze. As a result, the blood inside immediately poured out, and the pasty powder was washed away.
Li Zhang seemed very calm about this. He reached out to open the medical box, then opened the hemostatic forceps, scalpels, needles and threads for suturing wounds, etc. Some of these things were found on the plane, while others were prepared by him.
At that moment, Li Zhang first cleaned the wound, and then carefully examined the wound. It turned out that this guy was lucky. The bad one was injured by an artery, but the good one was that the wound was not deep enough. The artery only had a small wound, but it was not completely broken, so the blood inside kept flowing out, but it would not die in a short period of time.
After finding the cause of the bleeding, Li Zhang used needle and thread to suture the wound on the artery first, and the blood quickly stopped. After cleaning the wound, he sewed the large wound outside, and then applied the wound medicine prepared by the injured barracks. Although Li Zhang also had medicine in his medical box and the effect was better, the quantity was too small, and even if he used it all, he could not save a few people, so he just needed the medicine prepared by the injured barracks.
However, when Li Zhang sewed the wound, he looked up and found that the entire tent was staring at him in amazement. He was probably scared by Li Zhang's "barbaric" treatment method. After all, no one had ever seen the wound sewing like sewing clothes.
Li Zhang smiled and did not explain much. He asked the wild dog to carry the person down, and then called another injured soldier to continue treatment. The medical officer soon discovered that Li Zhang's method of suturing the wound was miraculously effective in stopping bleeding, so he hurriedly sent some injured soldiers with severe bleeding to Li Zhang.
