Chapter 674 Wounded Barracks
When Yi Nan heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that this chief officer is leading the army for the first time, and he can't even deal with wounded soldiers."
Compared with Tang Dynasty, the medical conditions in the grasslands are even worse.
He was slightly injured on the grassland and basically declared dead.
Solange said with a smile: "At his age, if he hadn't married a princess, he might not have had the chance to lead the army. However, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful. A mere 1 people stopped tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry , only more than 1000 people were killed.”
"It's just relying on weapons and armor."
Thinking of the battle with Western Turks today, Yi Nan still has lingering fears.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated so quickly. If Tang Jun hadn't helped him stop the Western Turkic pursuers, Xue Yantuo would have suffered a great loss if he had been entangled.
Although Datang helped him, he didn't think Xue Yantuo's warriors were inferior to Datang's soldiers.
He felt that the reason why Datang's 1000 cavalry blocked tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry and only caused more than [-] casualties was because the Tang's cavalry was waiting for work, and the Western Turkic soldiers had been fighting Xue Yantuo for a long time, and their physical strength was exhausted.
Coupled with the excellent equipment of Datang's cavalry, the natural combat effectiveness is very strong.
When Lin Xuan led the troops here, he was very jealous when he saw the weapons and armor on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Datang's restrictions on the grassland are too great. Although some iron can be bought from those merchants, nomads don't do production. Even if they have iron, they are far worse than Datang in terms of weapon making.
Solange didn't argue with Yi Nan, but said: "Khan, today's defeat has dealt a heavy blow to all the ministries. If the Western Turks rest for a few days and attack again, it may be difficult to resist."
The smile on Yi Nan's face disappeared, replaced by a look of gloom.
It was very difficult for Solange to resist, but in fact, he said it more implicitly.
In fact, today's defeat has exhausted the courage of those tribes. If Western Turks attack again, those tribes will find reasons to avoid the war even if they do not surrender.
"Khan, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are so powerful, if they take the lead, they can also inspire the army's morale." Solange said.
Yi Nan said with a gloomy face: "I talked to him before, but he refused."
"Khan, he refused before because he thought we could withstand the attack of the Western Turks. He also knows the current situation, otherwise he would not help us today." Solange said.
Yi Nan's eyes lit up, and he felt that what Solange said was very reasonable.
He told Lin Xuan before that he would let Tang's soldiers join the battle, but Lin Xuan directly refused, but today he sent Solange to ask for help, but Lin Xuan agreed so quickly.
"Do you still want to give him the five thousand horses that you promised him?"
Speaking of this barbarian man, his flesh hurts for a while. He was extorted by the Tang Dynasty for tens of thousands of horses before, and the loss of several battles with the Western Turks has already hurt him.
Now he still owes Lin Xuan five thousand horses.
"Khan, it's only [-] horses. If you don't give them, you will definitely anger him. We still need the cavalry from Tang Dynasty to help us. It's better not to offend them now." Solange said.
Five thousand horses?
The corner of Yi Nan's mouth twitched, he seemed to say, in that case, you might as well let these horses out.
But Yi Nan still held back, there were not many people supporting him at this time, if he annoyed Solange again, he would be in real trouble.
"Tomorrow I will have someone deliver the horse to him." Yi Nan said.
……
Xue Rengui led Cheng Chumo and the others to Lin Xuan's tent, but was stopped by Liu Da.
"Your Majesty has ordered, but I don't see anyone." Liu Da said expressionlessly.
"I'm here to find the general in a hurry. If the general doesn't see us again, I'm afraid there will be a big mess." Xue Rengui raised his voice on purpose.
Liu Da said indifferently: "I only know that Lord Hou passed by one after another, and no one would disturb him."
"Do you know that the soldiers are about to leave the camp now, and if something goes wrong, can you take care of it?" Cheng Chumo said angrily.
Liu Da didn't speak, and didn't mean to step aside.
"Let them in."
At this moment, Lin Xuan's voice came out.
Hearing this, Liu Da stepped aside.
Xue Rengui and the others didn't bother with Liu Da, and walked in.
When they entered the camp, they saw Lin Xuan's hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot.
"General, what's the matter with you?" Xue Rengui and the others hurriedly asked without paying attention to saluting.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Lin Xuan's voice was very hoarse, and he seemed to be fine.
But the process silently didn't ask any more questions, but told Lin Xuan what happened outside.
Lin Xuan almost caused chaos when he heard that those soldiers entered the wounded barracks because of him.
The reason why he prevented those soldiers from going in was because he was afraid that they would carry some dust, germs or something, which would cause the wounded soldiers to be infected.
But for those soldiers who have already been bandaged, it doesn't matter if they go and have a look.
"Just do as you said, but you can only go to see the soldiers who have been bandaged." Lin Xuan urged.
"Yes." Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't mean to blame, Xue Rengui also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, I'll go in person." Lin Xuan said.
At this moment, he had already figured it out. There would inevitably be casualties on the battlefield. All he could do was to bring as many people back as possible.
"General, leave this matter to your subordinates." Xue Rengui said hesitantly.
It is really that Lin Xuan's current state is too bad. As the saying goes, he will be the courage of soldiers. If Lin Xuan's appearance is seen by those soldiers, what will those soldiers think?
Lin Xuan naturally knew what Xue Rengui meant, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Go and wait for me outside the wounded barracks first, and I'll clean it up."
Seeing what Lin Xuan said, Xue Rengui didn't say anything more, bowed to Cheng Chumo and the others, and retreated.
……
When Lin Xuan packed up and came to the wounded camp, Xue Rengui and more than 20 representatives from each battalion were already waiting there.
"See General."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."
At this time, Lin Xuan didn't have any abnormality except that his eyes were still a little bloodshot.
And those soldiers didn't dare to look directly at Lin Xuan, they couldn't find it at all.
"Come on, follow me in and have a look."
The wounded barracks were completely arranged according to his requirements. The sanitation was very good, and white lime was scattered everywhere.
There are many kinds of bugs on the grassland, and those bugs carry a lot of bacteria.
In addition to its bactericidal effect, lime can also repel bugs.
The captain of the military doctor was named Chen Chuan. When he learned that Lin Xuan was coming, he rushed out to greet him.
"I have seen the general."
After Lin Xuan asked him to excuse him, he asked, "How is the treatment of the wounded soldier?"
"Back to the general, all the serious injuries have been treated, and most of the minor injuries have been treated. There is still about half an hour before they can all be treated." Chen Chuan said.
"Well, well done, thank you for your hard work."
There are only more than 20 military doctors in total, and it is indeed very hard to treat wounds for more than 1000 people.
