Chapter 216: Capture 1 Cities in 2 Days
Luo Li was closely guarded by Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, Hong Gu, Mo Ming, Pang Ying, Mulan'er and other female soldiers at the rear of this charging formation that was like a rapidly shot arrow. When the arrow entered the city gate, their tail slowed down, circled the horses and stopped outside the safe city gate.
King Qin Zhao Defang did not serve as the vanguard of the charge today. He stood in the center of the army and watched the vanguard generals charge into the city like a powerful force.
The Shuozhou City commander Xiao Bao was killed by Yun Yi, and the 6,000 defenders lost their backbone. The army was in chaos and encountered the invincible Mo Yunqi elite soldiers. Although the two deputy generals tried their best to gather the fleeing remnants and organize a combat-ready organization to retake the South Gate, the situation was hopeless and the morale was low, so they had to turn around and flee to the North Gate with their troops.
When the cavalry pursued the defeated enemy, it was like a tiger chasing chickens, ducks and dogs after coming down the mountain. The two thousand Mo Yun cavalry chased the defeated Liao army all the way out of the north gate and chased them for more than thirty miles before turning around to collect the spoils and capture small groups of enemy troops and return to Shuozhou City.
The main street of Shuozhou City was a river of blood, and the bodies of Liao soldiers were everywhere. The bloody smell filled the city, and the houses that were set on fire by the Liao army were still emitting thick smoke.
All the shops on the street were closed, and the people were terrified. The whole family, young and old, hid in the safe corners of their homes to avoid the disaster of war. Only the suppressed crying came from the homes of the innocent people who were hacked and killed by the Liao army while fleeing.
Yun Yi commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and put out the fire. Dozens of teams of twelve people each searched the city for the remnants of the Liao army who had hidden in the homes of ordinary people.
They captured a city in one hour, killed more than 3,000 enemies, and captured more than 1,000. This was a great victory. The Moyunqi warriors did not cheer after the victory, nor did they look proud and proud. Instead, their resolute faces showed only dignity and confidence.
Several of the shadow guards who seized the city gate were wounded by arrows, and there were dozens of wounded soldiers of varying severity. Luo Li did not bother to observe the local conditions and customs of the enemy city, and with the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, Siyu led ten medical soldiers of the Big Foot Women's Corps to treat their own wounded.
A teahouse facing the street was requisitioned and used as an operating room.
Luo Li used forceps to take out a broken small intestine from the opened abdominal cavity, trimmed both ends first, and confirmed that the blood supply to the broken end was good. She used a suture needle to suture the posterior wall layer, the anterior wall layer, and the seromuscular layer.
The seriously injured soldier was the shadow guard Mo Sheng, who was hit by four arrows and stabbed in the abdomen by the enemy. After sewing up the three broken intestines, Luo Li sutured the open abdominal cavity layer by layer.
It was a very cold day, but Luo Li, who was so focused and attentive, had sweat on his forehead.
It was the first time that Qin Wang Zhao Defang saw his own princess undergoing surgery. He was shocked, and his admiration was mixed with heartache. He carefully wiped the sweat off the princess's forehead with a cloth, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who was insisting on being his master's assistant, listened to his master's orders skillfully and handed over the instruments, staring at the movements of his master's hands without blinking. When his eyes became extremely tired, he blinked and then quickly opened them wide.
After cutting the last thread, Luo Li threw the suture needle in her hand to the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. She stretched her waist with blood on her hands and said with a relaxed and confident tone, "It's done! The operation was a perfect success. Mo Sheng's life will not be lost."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. King Qin Zhao Defang diligently helped Luo Li sit on the chair next to him, took off her bloodstained gloves and mask, and poured a bowl of tea to her mouth.
"Li'er, you've worked hard! Drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Luo Li was served with a clear conscience. After taking a sip of tea, she frowned and said, "The tea is cold. It's so cold. Don't you know how to get a pot of hot tea?"
"I'm sorry for the oversight! The hot tea will be here soon." Qin Wang Zhao Defang picked up the teapot and walked out quickly to get some hot tea.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor packed up his precious instruments and said to Luo Li in a flattering manner, "Master, my nephew is doing a good job, isn't he? If jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful tool. If hard work is not used, it will be wasted. When you get the chance, use him hard!"
Luo Li was amused, her face darkened, "Ghost Hand, your wish to be my assistant has come true. There are still wounded outside, why don't you go and help your Senior Sister Siyu!"
: "I will follow your orders, Master!" The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor picked up the surgical kit and ran out.
Luo Li drank two cups of hot tea under the attentive and thoughtful service of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. After relieving her fatigue, she went downstairs with the Prince of Qin to check on the treatment of the wounded.
In the spacious first floor hall of the teahouse, tea tables were used as operating tables and beds. Siyu and the ten medical soldiers were busy and sweating. The elite soldiers of Moyun Cavalry were all tough men with strong temperaments. In front of these female military doctors, no matter how serious the injuries were, none of the wounded cried out in pain.
A young soldier turned pale with pain when the female military doctor disinfected the wound on his arm with alcohol. Beads of sweat were beaded on his face. The corner of the table that he was holding with his other hand was about to break, but he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from uttering a sound.
Female military doctor Ma Wei looked at him trying to endure the pain, smiled and said softly: "It hurts when you use alcohol to disinfect the wound. If you can't bear it, just hum a few times."
"It doesn't hurt!" The young soldier uttered two words through clenched teeth.
Ma Wei smiled, and while she was stitching up the wound that was so deep that the bone could be seen, she whispered to divert his attention from the pain, "What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Yue Linzhou. I am eighteen years old this year. I am not married and have not been engaged. I live in Wuli Village outside Yanzhou City. My father died early, but my mother is still alive. I have a ten-year-old sister. My family has twelve acres of land, and..."
Before Yue Linzhou finished his rapid-fire speech, the whole hall burst into laughter!
"Yue Linzhou! You are only 18 years old, why are you in such a hurry? My brothers are in their twenties and have not married or engaged yet, but they are not as impatient as you!"
A captain with an arrow stuck in his arm made a loud joke. This time, the laughter in the hall became even louder.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor raised his eyebrows and said, "This kid named Yue has great potential!"
Yue Linzhou and Ma Wei were both so embarrassed that their faces turned red.
Luo Li, walking on the stairs, turned her head and glared fiercely at Qin Wang Zhao Defang beside her!
King Qin Zhao Defang was very proud and smiled, looking at his brave soldiers with praise and admiration.
Yun Yi walked in excitedly, "Your Highness, Yang Yanzhao has captured Huanzhou City! Huanzhou City's defender Zhu Fang abandoned the city and fled to Yingzhou with more than 3,000 defeated soldiers."
Capturing two cities in one day was truly a great victory worthy of being recorded in history. The hall was filled with cheers!
The female soldiers cheered with excitement, which inspired the wounded Mo Yunqi soldiers, who were always humble after winning, to indulge themselves in excitement. While enjoying the admiring and adoring looks of the female military doctors, they felt more proud than after any previous victory.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang raised the corners of his lips and smiled at the cheering female soldiers and arrogant subordinates. He nodded reservedly to Yun Yi, who also had an excited look on his face. What he was thinking about in his heart was what the princess had said: When men and women work together, work is not tiring!
I added silently in my heart: When men and women work together, injuries don’t hurt; when men and women live together, morale is high!
The princess's big-foot women's army is well organized! The Moyun riding pigs under my command are blessed.
