The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then had a pity expression on his face!
He has been in the army for many years. Although he has seen many people who were shot and were eventually rescued, he has seen many more people who were shot and died!
Even among some of the people who were rescued, many were missing arms and legs.
As for those who can still do nothing after being shot and only leave a scar, basically only a few people who have suffered flesh injuries and no postoperative infection can survive.
Although Qin Weitong's upper right arm was temporarily bandaged, it was a gunshot wound and might have started to become infected by now!
Even if the surgery is successful and the bullet is removed, the bleeding can be stopped and most of the functions of the arm can be preserved.
But if it becomes infected, then there is no way but to ampute the limb.
If infection persists after amputation, you will have no choice but to continue amputating it again. In the end, you will either survive, or you will be unable to amputate your limb and eventually die from infection!
Fortunately, although Datang's medical methods do not have any anti-infective drugs, they are still good at preventing infections. They know how to use alcohol for disinfection and avoid various sources of infection.
This allows many soldiers to avoid infection and survive after amputation!
It's just that Qin Weitong's wound was not a flesh wound, the bullet is still stuck in it.
I'm afraid the situation is not very optimistic.
He sighed and walked out of the health team's tent. This Qin Weitong was a bit unlucky.
This was finally a success, and the master personally promised to recommend him to the crash course at the martial arts school. However, the injury was a bit serious, and if he didn't do it right, he might die.
Even if it heals, there is a high probability that the leg will be amputated.
While Qin Weitong was receiving treatment in the health team, Deng Weifang was looking carefully at the map in the division headquarters tent. The markings on the map had been updated.
Based on a lot of information obtained by the reconnaissance cavalry, he was already certain that there were at least 10,000 enemy cavalry heading due south, heading towards his 3rd Cavalry Division.
At the same time, there were more than 20,000 enemy cavalry in the southeast direction.
More importantly, the 20,000 enemy cavalry did not come towards us!
Why?
Deng Weifang had been in the army for many years, and naturally he would not think that the Tatars did not discover him. His Third Cavalry Division was originally a bait, and he did not hide it along the way. The enemy had already discovered him.
But the enemy couldn't come over, but continued to move northeast!
Why?
They must have a bigger plan!
Perhaps, it was aimed at their entire First Cavalry Army.
The current situation is not good, and I don’t know what decision the military commander will make!
He had already sent a messenger to urgently report the news to Lieutenant General Dai Xin of the First Cavalry Army.
Nowadays, the development of the war situation is beyond the control of him as the division commander, and most needs the military commander himself.
It didn't take long for Lieutenant General Dai Yaxin to receive the relevant information.
In order to deliver the message as quickly as possible, the messenger killed another fine Arabian horse!
Lieutenant General Dai Yaxin was riding on his horse, looking to the southeast!
The enemy army is coming fiercely!
There are 10,000 people due south and another 20,000 people heading southeast. Adding in the 2,000 enemy cavalry forwards that appeared earlier, there are 32,000 cavalry.
Moreover, the Third Cavalry Division reported that the enemy cavalry in the southeast direction was at least 20,000. As for whether it was 20,000, 30,000 or more, this is still unknown.
Although his First Cavalry Corps is quite powerful, it is only one corps after all, with a total strength of just over 20,000.
If this is not done well, the military strength will be at an absolute disadvantage!
We can’t go any further south!
If you continue going south, you will run into an enemy ambush.
After pondering for more than ten seconds, he immediately ordered: "Let the 3rd Cavalry Division turn around and retreat and join the headquarters, and let the 2nd Cavalry Division and the 13th Cavalry Division march quickly to join the headquarters!"
At this critical moment, we can no longer divide our troops and try to swallow up the opponent's forward or the 10,000 enemy cavalry due south. This is obviously a bait!
If he dares to swallow the bait, the main cavalry force in the southeast direction can attack at any time. By then, I am afraid that the entire First Cavalry Army will be in danger.
So he chose to withdraw the 3rd Cavalry Division first, and then concentrate the main force.
The messengers galloped across the wilderness without caring about the life or death of the fine Arabian horses, killing one horse after another, and then passed on Diaxin's orders to the troops.
After Major General Deng Weifang received the order, he immediately ordered: "Prepare to retreat!"
Major General Deng Weifang had just ordered a retreat and while the troops were still making preparations, the two thousand enemy cavalry forwards in the south also noticed that the 3rd Cavalry Division wanted to retreat. They actually got on their horses and rode towards the 3rd Cavalry Division.
Major General Deng Weifang saw this, but he didn't take it seriously!
We are all cavalry. If I want to run away, you still want to stop me?
Just kidding!
The retreat of the 3rd Cavalry Division was simple and rapid. They simply got on their horses and then retreated on their spare horses, ignoring the pursuit of the two thousand enemy cavalry behind them.
Not long after, the 10,000 Tatar cavalry further south also received relevant news!
A middle-aged Tatar general at the head showed an angry look on his face: "Why did they run away? My brother told that idiot, let him catch up and entangle them!"
"Tell him that if he doesn't want to die, I will chase him and entangle the Southern Tang barbarian!"
He knew very well the tactics of his immediate superior, Ullihan.
First, use the vanguard to lure the enemy, then hold back the enemy's four thousand cavalry, and then let your own ten thousand cavalry attack them, thereby attracting the main force of the First Cavalry Army of the Southern Tang Barbarians to go south for rescue.
By that time, he would switch from offense to defense, holding back the main force of the First Cavalry Army.
And Wulihan will personally lead a main force of 30,000 people to come from the east and attack the flank of the enemy's First Cavalry Army!
When the time comes, a great victory can be expected!
Even if the enemy army turns around and retreats, General Wulihan's main force is located to the east, which can just block their eastward escape route, so those Southern Tang barbarians can only flee north or west.
Needless to say, going west, the farther they run, the faster they die.
If they go north, it will be useless for them to flee north as long as their own army pursues them all the way, especially if General Ulihan's main force always occupies the east.
Even if you escape all the way to Beiyuan, you can still eat them in the end.
No matter how bad it is, it can still hit them hard.
However, in the early stage of all this, it is necessary to attract their main force to go south, and then entangle them first, waiting for General Ulihan's main force to maneuver into place.
What now.
Before the fight even started, the four thousand forward cavalry of the Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side were about to retreat.
If this fails, the entire tactical concept may fail!
Their Jin Kingdom has been preparing a strategy in Central Asia for half a year, but they are afraid that their success will fall short.
If we wait a few more months, when the railway of the Southern Tang Barbarians is built to the Caspian Sea, the Jin Kingdom will either abandon Central Asia obediently, or they can only have a head-on confrontation, and no matter what it is, they, the Jin Kingdom, cannot bear it.
of.
If it were not for the purpose of avoiding this situation, Wulihan would not have gone to great lengths to mobilize troops for half a year and a month to lure the enemy.
But now, Ma Dan!
Those damn Southern Tang barbarians didn't even fight, they just ran away.
He could already imagine Ullihan's anger after the war!
When it comes to killing people, there will be no mercy at all.
If there are no good results for the generals in the forward troops, I am afraid that even he will not get any good results!
Immediately, he ordered the whole army to march quickly. Don't walk away slowly, just mount the spare horses and run wildly!
For a moment, if you look down from the sky, you will see many different cavalry running wildly on the ground.
In the center is the 3rd Cavalry Division and two thousand Tatar forwards following them, and about ten kilometers behind are another ten thousand Tatar cavalry.
About six kilometers to the north of the 3rd Cavalry Division are more than 7,000 troops directly under the First Cavalry Corps.
About eight kilometers east of the troops directly under the First Cavalry Corps is the Second Cavalry Division.
About five kilometers to the west is the Thirteenth Cavalry Division. This Thirteenth Cavalry Division is also running wildly towards the headquarters of the First Cavalry Corps.
As for the scattered scouts or messengers, they are everywhere.
Now, in fact, this plain with a radius of dozens of kilometers is already in a semi-transparent state to both sides. Everyone is a cavalry, and there are many reconnaissance cavalry used for reconnaissance.
If many scouts are sent out, relevant information can always be obtained, and the messengers all ride fast horses, so they can report the news immediately.
At the same time, about fifteen kilometers away due east of the 3rd Cavalry Division, there was Ullihan's 30,000 main cavalry force, and they were also running wildly north.
Both sides were in high-speed maneuvers, and slowly, the 3rd Cavalry Division had merged with the troops directly under the 1st Cavalry Corps. It didn't take long before the 13th Cavalry Division also successfully merged with them.
Even the Second Cavalry Division is actually only about five kilometers to the east, just in case of any eventuality.
This also means that the First Cavalry Army has completed its assembly, with approximately 22,000 soldiers gathered together.
After the assembly was completed, Deng Weifang and other senior generals also ran over to see Dai Yaxin. They wanted to know what the military commander's plan was.
Lieutenant General Dai Yaxin was still riding on his horse, and then said: "There is a desert to the west, and there are 30,000 enemy cavalry to the east, so we can't go there. Although there are no enemies to the north, the 30,000 enemy cavalry are always to our east. They will definitely be there when we go north."
Also go north, and they have more horses than we do, and our speed cannot be faster than them, so there is no need to go north!"
Deng Weifang said: "We can't go to the west, east, or north. Should we turn back and go to the south?"
Lieutenant General Dai Yaxin nodded: "No, we will turn around and return south!"
Major General Deng Weifang said: "But there are at least 12,000 enemy cavalry pursuing us in the south. If we turn around, even if we can defeat them, we will still be entangled by them. When the time comes, their main force of 30,000 will come and kill us.
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to handle!”
At this time, Major General Qi Lianzhong, Chief of Staff of the Army, also looked worried and said: "Even if we defeated their southern pursuers and were not entangled, the 30,000 enemy cavalry in the east are still there, and we still cannot return!"
Lieutenant General Dai Yaxin snorted coldly at this time: "Who said we have to go back? And I didn't say it was due south, but southwest!"
