Chapter 707: There are no difficulties, even if they create difficulties!
At the edge of the mine, Fang Jun directed Liu Renyuan to gather the wounded.
"Master Marquis, seventeen people were killed in the battle and forty were injured, six of whom were seriously injured and dying." Liu Renyuan reported back. In this era, the treatment of soldiers' injuries was extremely backward. There were no standardized methods to avoid infection, and there were no effective bactericidal drugs. Any serious injuries caused by iron tools are almost equivalent to a death sentence. Only one person with serious injuries will survive. Even for those with minor injuries, it is common to need to saw off the injured limbs and other parts to survive...
Many of the accompanying soldiers were veterans who had followed Fang Jun to the Western Regions. At this time, without Fang Jun's instructions, they had already begun to act as the army's doctor and provide first aid. Boil water to clean the wound, use strong alcohol to disinfect it, then simply bandage it and set the bone, all in an orderly manner.
Fang Jun silently looked at the injured who gritted his teeth and refused to scream, thinking that he still had to find a way to get low-level penicillin...
Compared to the corpses of Yamakoshi that were piled up and scattered in front of the mine, the results of the battle were brilliant.
Xi Junmai led his soldiers to clean the battlefield, and found that the Shanyue people were coming and going in a hurry, but they had no time to plunder the baggage stored in the iron factory building. Most of the things left outside were plundered, but most of them were well preserved.
No one can guarantee when the Shanyue people will launch their next attack. Seeing them gathering at the foot of the mountain like a pack of hungry wolves to lick their wounds is mind-numbing. Fang Jun asked Xi Junmai and his soldiers to carry all the baggage to the mine. He also brought all the horses and horses over. He has to sleep here tonight. There are earth beams in front of the mine to stop the impact of the Shanyue people. Due to some terrain advantages, if the Shanyue people were in the open space over the house, they could swamp the big guys with just one charge...
They simply replenished some food and used the medicine they brought with them to treat their injuries and illnesses. The soldiers assigned a few scouts to follow Xi Junmai to monitor the movements of the Shanyue people. The rest of the troops rested on the spot and replenished their physical strength. This battle The beating was so severe that everyone was physically exhausted.
Liu Rengui was worthy of a general. He looked at the Shanyue people at the foot of the mountain. After observing for a long time, he said to Fang Jun: "Master Hou, there seem to be a lot fewer Shanyue people. They are probably dividing their troops to attack elsewhere. Since it is a rebellion, there is no reason to attack only us. This small iron factory must have failed to succeed in one attack and shifted its target. If we gather our horses and charge down, we will definitely be able to break through the siege of the Shanyue people, and at least we can get you out of trouble."
Liu Renyuan's hands were tightly bandaged with cloth strips, and his arms were still numb. Wu Duohai's blow was too powerful. Liu Renyuan, who had always been known for his courage, had experienced this time that "there is still a mountain high." ".
He said angrily: "I am willing to be a pioneer and fight a bloody path for the Marquis!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Fang Jun.
Fang Jun glared at this guy and cursed: "Warriors are not just about strength, but also about using your brains! The situation at the dock on the riverside is completely unknown. Even if you rush down rashly, you can break through the siege. If the fleet on the riverside has already After being scattered, can we come back again? The most important thing is? What's more, how could Fang let his brothers risk their lives to protect me and escape? We all belong to the same family, and we must live or die together. Don't abandon, don't give up, never give up! Give up a comrade!”
There is no chicken soup for the soul that can be more touching than these two sentences, especially in the context that Fang Jun just risked his life to block the gap in the formation. All the soldiers had red eyes and clapped their chests "bang bang "Hang, shouted in unison: "Don't give up! Don't give up!"
"Don't abandon! Don't give up!"
The injury made him shed tears. He looked at the coach's dark but somewhat immature face with tearful eyes, and his heart was full of life and death!
Many of the soldiers were former soldiers and had fought and killed the enemy. However, even those troops who were victorious in every battle were left to fend for themselves in critical moments to ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force.
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, even the military god Li Jing has never shouted such touching words as "Don't abandon, don't give up." A general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones being withered, and the general's invincible name is written with the blood of his soldiers. As long as If we can win, who cares about the lives of our soldiers?
Liu Renyuan burst into tears.
He really had the intention of fighting to the death to save Fang Jun from the siege, but he was stopped by Fang Jun's words, and his heart was filled with warm blood!
Xi Junmai pursed his lips. The young general with a strong personality is now just a general of Fang Jun's family, but he knows best that his words are definitely not just words. Being able to follow such a family master is as good as a cow or a horse. I am willing to do so!
After all, Liu Rengui was older and more mature. He wiped the corners of his eyes and said helplessly while being moved: "Actually... we don't need to lose many brothers. The battle just now not only knocked down the morale of the Shanyue people to the point of collapse, but also They have found out their depth. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are far worse than us! If our fully equipped cavalry attacks, it will definitely be like cutting butter with a hot knife, and we will win!"
Although Liu Rengui didn't speak much, he was thoughtful. He had already weighed the strengths and weaknesses of the two armies in his mind. Relying on the terrain, coupled with the advantages of equipment and soldiers, it was no problem to defend the mine. If you launch a cavalry charge and launch a surprise attack from a high position, victory will be even easier!
The huge advantage of cavalry over infantry is definitely not a joke! What's more, how can these Shanyue rioters, who are naked and poorly equipped with weapons, be called infantry?
Since victory is certain, it means that the current situation is safe, then...
After hearing his analysis, Fang Jun suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Must win? If you must win, you can't do it!"
Liu Rengui was dumbfounded, thinking that either he had tinnitus or his brain was not filled with enough water...
What does "you must win, let alone do it"?
Is it possible to escape from the siege but not do it?
Fang Jun put his arm around Liu Rengui's broad shoulders and sighed: "Old Liu, you are a good general who can lead the soldiers to win battles, but you are not a good official who can lead the soldiers to gain merit..."
< br>
Liu Rengui scratched his head, not knowing what Fang Jun said...
Now that we have won the battle, won't the merit come with it?
Furthermore, isn’t a general just an official?
Liu Renyuan and Xi Junmai were also baffled. They felt that their Marquis was too deep. They could clearly hear what he said, but why couldn't they understand what he was saying?
Fang Jun followed the temptation and said: "Let me ask you, which one deserves more credit, the stronger the troops and the stronger horses, which defeat the enemy in one blow, or the one who never retreats in the face of an enemy several times stronger and finally charges to the death and turns defeat into victory?"
Liu Rengui opened his mouth and thought for a moment: "Of course it's the latter."
Although the results of the two may be the same, and the latter may even be much worse, the process of defeating the enemy in one blow is simpler and feels natural, and the impact it brings is naturally dull; But if it is the latter, a tall image of a soldier who fights to the end and refuses to surrender in the face of a desperate situation and charges to the death emerges spontaneously. That is the best embodiment of the will of a soldier, and there is no comparison between meritorious deeds!
Thinking of this, Liu Rengui seemed to have a light flashing through his mind, and looked at Fang Jun with his mouth wide open in shock: "Master Hou, don't you mean..."
"Yes, that's it!"
Fang Jun waved his hand and said magnanimously: "What kind of ministers does the emperor like the most? The kind of officials who 'face difficulties and overcome all difficulties to meet them head-on', right?"
Liu Rengui nodded blankly: "But Mr. Hou, we have no difficulties now, those Shanyue people are no match for us..."
Fang Jun said angrily: "Can you turn your head? Since there are no difficulties, we have to create difficulties!"
Liu Rengui: "..."
Liu Renyuan: "..."
Xi Junmai: "..."
Fang Jun, who had been "polluted" by the bad habits of officialdom in later generations, was very kind to the three "little cabbages" of the Tang Dynasty: "Working for the emperor, those who cannot fight life and death can only work hard and be lively. The pursuit of victory is a prerequisite. This cannot be changed, but on the basis of pursuing victory, we must also maximize our interests as much as possible. The Shanyue people threw away their helmets and ran away, and then it was over. How to write a memorial to the emperor? "Shanyue rebelled, was trapped in a tight siege, charged with all his strength, and won." But that's all. We don’t rush out, we just stay here, and then send out a message asking for help, just say... Come on, bring a pen and paper!”
Haha, now my hands are on the keyboard, my mind can't control what I'm thinking, and I really can't write anymore. The last chapter, that’s it for today, and normal updates will resume tomorrow. But today’s monthly ticket is really awesome, thank you! If I have free time in the future, I will break out from time to time. It feels quite interesting! Good night to everyone...
