The Goguryeo army quietly retreated, and the current tent was just a cover-up. The soldiers left inside were cut off from the rear, and the main tent broke out overnight and sneaked away.
But after all, there were thousands of people, and there was a lot of movement. If you were willing to investigate, you would know.
When Qibi Heli heard the scout's report, he couldn't lie down anymore. He immediately got up from the wooden bed, put on his clothes and went to order the troops.
"When they retreat, they will definitely collide with Xue Bei."
Xue Bei has retreated. Their plan is to attack from both sides tomorrow and make dumplings for them. Xue Bei will cut off their retreat from behind.
This time Qibi Heli not only brought the cavalry, but also the remaining infantry, leaving only 500 people for Zhou Man. He said: "If there are enemy troops coming, you can escape back to Baiyan City. There is no need to stay here."
Wait here."
The medical tent is different from other tents. There is no need to fight against the enemy.
Zhou Man nodded in agreement and watched them leave.
Su Mu was a little worried, "Teacher, are there really enemy troops coming?"
"No," Man Bao comforted him, "Unless they did this deliberately to lure the general, they wouldn't come here to take the retreat."
They are so scared now that they will only stay away from the Jin army's main tent, so why come here?
However, more people may die in the fighting at night.
Man Bao frowned, beckoned for a general flag, and ordered: "Send someone to watch from the front. If the enemy army is defeated, we will move the medical tent forward."
The commander-in-chief's eyes were bright and he immediately led people to watch.
Being able to go on an expedition with great difficulty is a rare military achievement. Although protecting the medical tent is also a credit, it is definitely not as good as fighting on the front line.
The general flag excitedly took the people there.
Man Bao said to Su Mu, "Please tidy up and follow me to move the medical tent later."
Su Mu asked blankly: "Then, what about these wounded soldiers?"
"Leave it to Jing Zhong. I will allocate two hundred people to him. The rest will bring medicinal materials and pots and pans to move forward with us."
They need to bring a lot of medical supplies, not to mention other things, including a lot of cloth for bandaging, and they must not be contaminated.
The two of them packed up and started waiting for the general flag to come back.
Qibi Heli led his army and rushed into the enemy camp. As expected, there were only less than two thousand people left inside, and the rest of the tents were empty. He was furious, and led his men to kill these people. Of course, they killed them.
It was too time-consuming. Not long after the charge, they shouted to disarm and refused to kill, and then they knelt down and surrendered.
Qibi Heli sat on the horse, stared at the people, and confiscated all their weapons. Then he left a group of soldiers and horses to watch them, and the remaining people took the captured horses and continued to chase the enemy's main tent.
The commander-in-chief finally caught up and when he saw that the battle was over, he immediately sent people to turn around and go back to find Zhou Man, while he stayed behind to discuss setting up a medical tent with the remaining generals.
Although it was dangerous to transfer the medical tent, it was a good thing for the soldiers. The remaining generals agreed without much thought.
There is no need to build a special tent. Just pick two tents left by the enemy that have not been destroyed and put the wounded soldiers there to serve as medical tents.
Man Bao rode over with his men, glanced at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, and began to dismount and deal with them together with Su Mu.
After dealing with these wounded soldiers, someone from the front came back to report, "The general has caught up with the enemy's main tent. General Xue encountered the enemy first. They are fighting."
Man Bao asked: "Can they see it when it's dark and cold in winter?"
"So the general Ming Jin retreated his troops, and the enemy troops also suspended their attacks. However, many people were injured and have recently set up camp."
Man Bao asked people to pack up various medicine boxes, mounted his horse and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Night raids are only suitable when you are camping. People who want to raid at night know that the enemies are living there, and there is a fire in the camp. When the fire is burning, the flames are so high that they can still tell which side of the armor a person wears.
.
However, it is very easy to accidentally injure one's own people when moving to chase like this at night, especially when there is a group of their men on the other side. The cavalry rushes from here to there, and it is easy to kill one's own people while killing.
.
It is also difficult for the enemy to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so a truce is the best at this time.
Man Bao has been moving with the army tonight. Fortunately, they have many military doctors. If there were only one or two military doctors in the army before, they would not even think about this kind of treatment.
Man Bao chased after the army in front with a sad look on his face.
There was no tent, so the soldiers slept in their clothes, holding their swords and guns to their chests, and would sit up at the slightest sign of trouble.
Zhou Man felt his hair stand on end before he even ran in front of them. Keke also woke up and warned: "There is danger ahead, there are archers facing you."
Man Bao asked: "Is it the Jin army or the enemy army?"
Keke said depressedly: "Jin Army."
Man Bao then turned to the commander-in-chief and said, "Shout out and say that the medical tent has arrived."
The general flag also tensed his back, feeling the danger as well, so his horse slowed down, and he shouted loudly to the front: "Brothers in front, the medical tent is here, this is Mr. Zhou——"
The dangerous aura became lighter, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he turned to Zhou Man and said, "My lord, stay here and don't move."
He first led two people forward to make sure that their army was in front of them.
That’s why marching at night is the most annoying thing. You can’t even see your fingers when you stretch out your hand. Why don’t you just stay in your tent and have a good fight tomorrow? Why should you run away at night?
The Goguryeo army was also secretly cursing that the Jin army was really desperate for their lives. They even chased them at night. They all retreated. What's wrong with letting them run around all night? They actually attacked from both sides. How shameless!
The general flag went over to meet the comrades who were on guard, and when they flashed their torches, they confirmed that they were one of their own. They immediately lit torches and ran over to greet Zhou Man.
A school captain said: "Master Zhou, many brothers are injured. Some of them were stepped on accidentally. They were seriously injured when they were snatched out. Please go and take a look."
Tramples are the most difficult to treat. Most of them are internal injuries. Manbao frowned sadly and followed him to the camp. After dismounting, she carried the medicine box and went over to see the wounded soldiers. She asked: "Is the general okay?"
"It's alright."
That's right, most captains don't know about He Li's injury.
Manbao carried the medicine box over. The wounded soldiers were lying on the ground. He lit a few fires and asked them to lie around the fires. In addition, everyone could only simply bandage their wounds with cloth, because they were stationed in
Here, you don't even have to drink hot water.
Everyone could only drink cold water from the water bladder.
Fortunately, Manbao brought all the pots and pans with him.
Man Bao walked all the way over, picked out the injuries that needed urgent treatment, and had people carry them to the fire at the front.
After looking around, she said: "Let me make a fire again, break off some branches and leaves and spread them on the ground. It's cold at night, so the wounded soldiers can't catch the cold."
She doesn't mind being out in the open. It's impossible to camp in this situation, so just make do with it. Whether she can survive depends on luck.
Man Bao began to ask people to set up pots to prepare medicine, and asked: "Is there water nearby?"
The captain shook his head blankly, "I don't know."
It was late at night and they had just had a fight. Who would go looking for water?
After hearing the report, Qibi Heli came over and said, "Send someone to look for the scouts."
They have surveyed the area before and must know where there is water and where there is no water.
