Chapter 19: Drawing the Arrow
The city gate hole has been completely sealed by the goshawk with the village warrior with a bow and crossbow, and no one can rush out of the city gate hole alive.
In the short city gate cave, there were already mountains of corpses, and the corpses on the ground were stacked several layers thick. The Huns in the back even used the corpses as cover and shot at the villagers.
More and more villagers climbed the city wall and shot at the Huns below. There was a hazy moonlight tonight, and the sight was not good, but it was much better than fighting in the dark of night.
More and more Hun cavalry were shot off their horses, and King Qianghu gritted his teeth and reluctantly announced the withdrawal of his troops. If this continues, it will not take advantage of anything, but will only cause more and more casualties.
The terrible horn was blown, and the Huns retreated like a tide. Corpses were left behind.
Hearing that the Huns had retreated, Yun Xiao immediately jumped off the roof. The moment his frozen feet touched the ground, his heart hurt, and Yun Xiao gritted his teeth and stood up straight.
"Sue the goshawk told him to get some hay and put it at the gate of the city, and then sprinkle water on the hay. It's going to freeze on such a cold day. There is no city gate, so I can only make do with this. ”
Dai Yu was lying in a warm house with large pieces of wood burning in a bluestone fireplace. The accompanying medical officer was examining Dai Yu's wounds, and Yun Xiao stood by and watched.
An arrow in the chest shot quite deeply, if it weren't for the strong armor of the Yun family. I'm afraid that Dai Yu will be shot in half, and the whole arrow has already sunk into his chest. Yun Xiao prayed to the gods and worshiped the Buddha, hoping that this damn arrow would not hurt the internal organs.
The armor on his body was removed piece by piece, and Dai Yu's strong chest muscles were exposed to the air. The wound on his shoulder was shocking, and the red muscles rolled to the sides. The bones of Bai Sensen inside were exposed. The doctor didn't dare to pull the arrow off his chest, because he wasn't sure if the arrow was holding down the vessel.
In this era, there is no treatment for internal bleeding, and the herbs of the Holy Hand of the Imperial Physician can only be used externally to reduce inflammation. If it causes a large amount of internal bleeding, Dai Yu has only one way to die. This medical officer is a disciple of the Mo family, or Zifeng's junior brother. If his sister is a widow because of his improper rescue, then he doesn't have to go back.
"Moment." The medical officer glanced at Yun Xiao with an embarrassed face, it is said that Juzi is also a medical expert. The medical officer was eager to get Yun Xiao's guidance.
"Get up." The entire arrow has been submerged in his chest, and he can't let this arrow stay in Dai Yu's body.
The medical officer carefully cut the shaft of the arrow, dipped the knife in the steamed wine, and gently cut a piece of Dai Yu's flesh. Then he picked up the pliers, clamped the shaft of the arrow tightly and pulled it outward.
"Ah......" Dai Yu, who was in a coma, was awakened by the pain alive. When he opened his mouth, he let out a scream. The guards around him hurriedly pressed Dai Yu's arms and legs. At this time, people's consciousness is not clear. He must not be allowed to move.
"Shove this into his mouth and let him bite it, don't chew his tongue." Yun Xiao handed the guard a wooden stick.
The room was filled with the sound of Dai Yu's nose, and the medical officer desperately dragged the feather arrow out. Dai Yu's chest muscles were throbbing with pain, and his forehead was covered with sweat. His limbs were crushed by the guards. The stick in his mouth creaked as it was bitten.
Finally the arrow was pulled out. Yun Xiao took the arrows covered in blood. Leaned closer to his nose and sniffed. Fortunately, there is no fishy smell. At the same time, I am glad that this is not a bone arrow, because the arrow of the bone arrow is fragile. If it is broken in the chest cavity, then Dai Yu will die.
Dai Yu's chest fell violently, and his body was covered with fine beads of sweat. There was a big blood hole in his chest. The damn barb made a big gap. The medical officer had no choice but to hold it down with a burlap dipped in distilled wine.
"You're going to have a fever, and there's no way you can do it. If you hurt your internal organs, you will die. If your life is good, this damn arrow didn't touch your guts. Then you will live. We all owe God a life, and if we do, we have to pay it back. The important thing is when to pay it back, I am not allowed to fucking die for Lao Tzu. Because Lao Tzu is your God. ”
Dai Yu's mouth closed one by one, and he said something with great difficulty. It's a pity that Yun Xiao didn't hear a word, because the voice was too weak.
"Go to the princess and find him a maid, and the rough will kill people, and he will be able to do the work of waiting for people."
Yun Xiao ignored what Dai Yu said, and saw that the villagers wanted to wipe Dai Yu's body. Hurriedly stopped, and ordered one of the guards to find the maid.
"Go get more steamed wine, if he wants to have a fever, rub more steamed wine on his palms, soles and armpits."
"Master Hou, Dai Yu ......"
The tiger roared in, and the feathered arrow on his shoulder had not yet had time to be pulled out. At the same time as the north gate was attacked, the south gate defended by the Canghu was also attacked. Probably because of the limited amount of oil, the south gate was not set on fire, but was only hit a few times by someone carrying the city pole.
"He's fine, what's going on over there."
"The Huns retreated, and the brothers suffered few casualties. I heard that Dai Yu was injured, so I came over to take a look. ”
Canghu stretched out his head and looked at Dai Yu on the bed.
"I don't know if I'm going to die, it's really fucking evil. It took so much effort to send a kiss, your brother just disappeared. This broke Dai Yu again, but the benefits were not reaped at all. ”
Yun Xiao flicked his whip hatefully.
All along, the Yun family will win huge benefits through the guò war. Yunxiao has the luxury of now, at least half of which is the war dividend brought by the war. But this time, there was no benefit from the loss of the soldiers. This made Yun Xiao very unhappy.
"By the way, you go and do something. You go and evaporate more people and sprinkle water on the walls. I estimate that tomorrow the Huns will attack the city, and tonight this ghost weather will freeze to death. Sprinkle the walls with more water and freeze the entire wall with a layer of ice. I'll see how those Huns climb tomorrow. ”
Yun Xiao stayed in Dai Yu's room for a night, and sure enough, Dai Yu had a high fever. The two maids borrowed from "Nangong" held linen cloths dipped in steamed wine, and kept wiping Dai Yu's palms, soles, and armpits. Until dawn, Dai Yu's fever still did not subside. This made Yun Xiao so anxious that he walked in circles in the yard.
"Master Hou don't worry, General Dai Jiren has his own heavenly blessing. When the palace went out of the palace, the queen gave the palace a thing that was presented to the county to call ginseng, and I heard that it was a good healing product, and asked the Marquis of Lintong to smile. ”
A yellow warbler-like voice sounded beside Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao looked up and saw that it was "Princess Nangong". I saw that she was holding a good old ginseng in her hand, and I don't know how many years this old ginseng is. Born with a full beard and full shadow, almost humanoid, at first glance it is a good thing that has not been around for a short time. (To be continued......)
