Section 1019 Night attack on the Franks
Now most of the people in front of the Tang Army are their own people, and they regard the cause of the Tang Army as their own family affairs, and they are very proactive.
The Franks, on the other hand, believed in Christ in name, but in fact they were slaves of all races and even those of their own race who had failed to live were slaves, and they treated slaves as coldly as the autumn wind swept away the leaves.
The Greek medical officer called "Constantica", adhering to his medical heritage of Greek civilization, actually has a few brushes, and can deal with daily illnesses and minor surgeries, and the effect of severe treatment is better than that of no one to take care of it.
At least, he knows how to debride wounds with light salt water!
According to the surgery of the Don Army
Ancient Greek medicine has its own uniqueness, Hippocrates' "Original Medicine" is profound and extensive, including surgery, prognosis, reproduction, epidemics, respiration, head trauma, etc., both medical and philosophical speculation, and effective treatment of diseases, both medical and philosophical speculation, and effective treatment of diseases, both the norms of doctors' medical ethics and behavior, and practical health methods, for the first time in the West to plan medicine into a complete system, so that medicine is separated from theology, and become a real science and technology, It has had a huge and far-reaching impact on the development of Western medicine.
And Constanta has a deep understanding of the "original medicine" and practice, in the Tang Army, doctors are greatly respected, and belong to the branch of troops that give priority to retreat when the troops are surrounded!
But in the Franks, still in the age of ignorance, knowledge was not valued, and poor Constanta was whipped to the bone!
In fact, he followed the army and treated many soldiers, but the Franks fought without mercy!
He reluctantly returned to his shack, put a little herb on the wound, and struggled to take out a medicine bottle with the Chinese "andrographis tablets" from the close-fitting leather bag!
Clear heat and detoxify, cool blood and reduce swelling, used for evil poison inside, cold and fever, sore throat, carbuncle swelling and sores, etc., although it is not completely symptomatic, but it is already the best anti-inflammatory drug in that era.
After taking the medicine, he climbed into a simple bed and fell asleep faintly because of his injuries.
It's a terrible situation!
In a daze, someone woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a Gallic tribal slave named Klaas who pushed him up vigorously.
This slave was large and powerful, but a bit of a second-heartedness, and many people bullied him, and later he fought for Constanta.
Constanta, who has the status of a medical officer, is still able to shelter Klaas (after all, no one can predict whether there will be a need to find Konstanica in the future), Klaas said anxiously: "...... Just now, the Tang people attacked the barracks at night, and we suffered a lot of losses, and they ...... I want you to go for treatment! ”
……
In the darkness of the night, a cold mist rose in the dense forest, and the white mist swept by, and several bonfires were lit in the Frankish camp and swayed under the power of the cold night, and the light was weak and weak, and did not shine far.
Only snoring was heard in the barracks, the Franks were asleep, and some were snoring like thunder!
At this time, the mountain soldiers of the Tang Army were ready to go, and at the sound of an order, they silently set out, climbing and walking in the dense forest.
Everyone was dressed in black, with their mouths and noses covered in cloth, and only their two eyes were exposed, so unusually hidden.
The recent attack on the Franks by the mountain soldiers seems to be nothing spectacular, but in reality, the mountain soldiers are not trivial!
Only mountain soldiers can march in the Alps, and ordinary infantry simply cannot move as freely as mountain soldiers: altitude sickness, cold and danger will greatly reduce the number of ordinary infantry, and before the war starts, take care of the sick first! (The use of the people is also in accordance with the rules and has been instructed by the army)
Attacking from below, climbing over mountains, trees and rocks without alarming the enemy, only specially trained mountain soldiers can do it.
Now, with the help of professional equipment, they unknowingly arrived in front of the Frankish camp.
The darkness was their cover, and they were dressed in black as ghosts came out of the ground and infiltrated the Frankish camp.
Get down, enter the tent, ask for the enemy, draw the knife, swing the knife, slash!
The silence of the night soon added new syllables, and in just a few breaths, the world suddenly had dozens or hundreds of disabled young people.
The knife was swung and slashed again, and the blood splashed, and the number of disabled young people doubled again.
The 500 Tang Army became bad boys who went to other people's homes to make trouble, destroying and creating chaos everywhere. In order to spread the chaos throughout the barracks to the greatest extent, almost all of them used the "ground knife" method: lying on the ground and cutting off their feet when they saw them. The bad children's hands and feet were constantly moving, and the soles of their feet were broken, and the Franks, who were missing their thighs, woke up in their sleep, howling and rolling on the ground in pain, and the whole barracks immediately became a hornet's nest that exploded, and people collided and trampled on each other, and there were screams and screams everywhere.
There was no light at that time, it was dim.
In the face of the black knives that came out of the ground from time to time, the Franks could not resist and could not resist at all, because they could not see anything in the night, but the Tang army, which was small in number, took advantage of the small number of people at this time, as long as they closed their eyes, lay on the ground, and held the right arm of the knife repeatedly made a pendulum movement, they could always cut a few "stakes". Occasionally, when encountering the enemy's resistance and parrying, the Tang army will avoid it and attack from another place, which is a knife.
The Franks who stayed by the campfire immediately became the best prey among the Tang Army's archers, and their crosshairs were frighteningly high because of the illumination.
In chaos, the Franks could only wield their swords and weapons indiscriminately, and the chances of cutting their own people were more than being cut by the Tang army, and then killing each other.
If it had not been for the stockade that Pu Shika had set up earlier, the victory of the Tang army would have been proper.
But Pu Shika stayed in the back village, heard that the front village was in chaos, and the screams kept coming, and he couldn't see the situation in the front village clearly, this guy was vicious enough, and ordered the troops to shoot indiscriminately at the front village!
Throw torches, shoot arrows, and throw stones!
The torches ignited the tent, and flames lit up everywhere, so that the suddenness of the Don army was lost.
Bows and arrows and stones were all in one rage, but they injured a lot of Tang troops.
The remnants of the Franks finally knew where the enemy was, and they angrily pounced on the Tang army!
The whistle of the "flute" sounded, and the Tang army, who had done bad things, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled!
They ran as fast as they could, and the Frankish arrows were chasing after them, but they were seen sliding down the road in front of the village!
The retreat was rapid, and the Franks pounced on only seven Tang troops who could not escape, and they were so angry that they slashed them at the mouth with their sabers.
There were not many corpses of the Tang army found in the camp, but there were many wounded of the Franks, all of whom sat on the ground with dull faces, so they urgently called for a military doctor!
