Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 336 The Expendables

Even if there is no plan to launch an elite feint attack, the loss of troops caused by the siege is still inevitable.

After two days of feint attacks and the first day of siege, more than [-] Jingzhou troops were killed on the spot, and as many as [-] were wounded.

If it were in the past, at least many of these 400 wounded soldiers would have died of excessive bleeding due to infections caused by improper care and untimely treatment.

Including the disabled part, at least nearly half of the combat effectiveness will be lost.

Not only will these people lose their combat effectiveness during wartime, but it also means that once they are demobilized, they will also lose their ability to work after returning to their hometowns.

Nowadays, under the influence and promotion of Liu Chan, the military medical system has been initially established, and the training model of medical talents has gradually changed from the one-to-one master-apprentice relationship in the past to a one-to-many approach from top to bottom.

Although there are still many imperfections and the results are relatively limited, it can only be regarded as the prototype of the future medical system, but it still gradually played its role in the war.

The extraction and production of penicillin has fallen into a bottleneck due to backward biochemical theory.

But at the same time, traditional medicine has developed more and more methods to deal with adverse reactions such as allergies caused by penicillin.

Wang Shuhe and a group of famous doctors removed the waste and extracted the sperm, and now they have completed the standard auxiliary procedure after using penicillin.

Acupuncture, medicinal stones, and even dietary care...all available means were used to try to reduce the fatal side effects of penicillin.

Although people who have used penicillin still suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, itching, rashes and other problems, the mortality rate has been suppressed to one or two hundred by these doctors.

The preparation, use, and auxiliary processes of penicillin were naturally spread to Jingzhou just like the manufacturing of thunder cannons.

There are no nurses accompanying the army in the Jingzhou army, and there is also a shortage of qualified doctors who have received professional "field medical training."

But thanks to these limited doctors, the death and disability rate of wounded soldiers has been greatly reduced.

In the military formation, Guan Yu squinted his eyes, stroking his beard and stared at Xiangyang City in front of him.

Not only Man Chong, but Guan Yu also had high hopes for this spy battle.

He wanted to further attack Wanluo after taking Xiangfan. If Cao Pi lost his troops in the east, he might be able to use this opportunity to conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop and realize the long-cherished wish of the three brothers.

There are many ups and downs in a lifetime of fighting, whether it is being trapped in the enemy camp, or whether it is a powerful force in China, just to help the Han Dynasty and rebuild the country.

This time, Guan Yu was the closest to success.

If we lose troops in the siege of Xiangyang, it will lead to weak successors, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Guanzhong is not easy to obtain, and the third disciple Long and others may not be able to succeed, and the northwest is barren. Even if the eldest brother can capture Longyou, in Guan Yu's opinion, he will not be able to have a decisive impact on the general trend of the world.

"Gentlemen! Whether we can conquer the Central Plains in the north depends on us. Why not fight bravely to kill the enemy and win a good reputation behind you, which will last forever!" Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Sword in his hand, and the sun shone on the blade.

"March with drum beat! Attack the city!"

Tom, tom, tom…

"kill--!"

It was all a show, a feint attack on the last day, except that no real elites were sent up, and it was no different from a real siege.

If Guan Yu and Shadow Guard's plan cannot quickly defeat Xiangyang, they can only use thunder cannons as the main means to slowly grind it out, which will inevitably lead to long nights and many dreams.

Compared to Guan Yu, Man Chong in the city was even more uneasy.Although sending Yuan Zhong out of the city to join the death squads was a countermeasure that killed two birds with one stone, the mission of these five hundred dead men was of great importance. If Yuan Zhong was really a traitor, he could not be allowed to affect the action of destroying the car.

In addition to Yuan Zhong, Man Chong also placed his trusted generals in the team. If Yuan Zhong did anything suspicious in front of the formation, he would kill him immediately.

But for the dead soldiers who know nothing about it, such an incident when the commander is performing a mission will still dampen their morale.

Man Chong suppressed his uneasiness. There was no foolproof plan in the world. Ever since Li Qiong brought back the news that Yuan Zhong might be a traitor, whether it was true or not, he had fallen into a passive position.

"Xiao Cun, gentlemen! Your Majesty is now attacking Wu in the east. If we cannot protect Xiangyang, the foundation of the Wei Dynasty will be in danger! I hope that you will sacrifice your life and death, fight bravely to be the first, and favor me. I would like to thank you for your high righteousness!"

After Man Chong said this, he bowed his hands deeply.

Many of those who can be selected to carry out this task are Man Chong's old subordinates. They survived the most difficult times when Fancheng was flooded, so loyalty is no problem.

Seeing Man Chong's pretense at this time, they all clasped their fists and said in unison: "Even if you die, you will not disgrace your life!"

Yuan Zhong bowed in return, and stood up with firm eyes: "Your Majesty, let's watch us burn those stone carts, and then return to the city to celebrate our victory with a drink with your Majesty! Mount your horse!"

After saying that, Yuan Zhong and the five hundred dead men behind him were equipped with swords and swords, each prepared torches and kerosene, and mounted their horses together.

These five hundred cavalry are all the elites in Xiangyang City.

Today, Yuan Zhong will follow Zhang Liao's story and defeat the Shu army with these five hundred cavalry!
Manchong waved his hand: "Kaicheng!"

He has done what he can do, do his best, and just listen to fate.

"Fire arrows to cover!" The defenders on the city tower fired their crossbows and fired at the Han army in front of the city gate.

At the same time, the west city gate with the barricade removed opened, and five hundred Cao Wei cavalry bypassed the trap and fought their way out of the gate!
Seeing the city gate open, the Han army, which was moving slowly to protect the car and the wood, immediately abandoned the wood and formed a formation to move quickly towards the city gate.

"Kill--!" Yuan Zhong roared angrily, and he took the lead and rushed out with his horse. The other cavalry followed closely behind, roaring and galloping out.

Unexpectedly, the enemy dared to send cavalry out of the city to fight. Now that they could not run away, this group of Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly formed a formation on the spot.

But facing Cao Wei's cavalry in such a state, how could they be their opponents.

"Yuan Zhong, the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang, is here to accept your orders!"

puff!
Yuan Zhong straightened his horse and stabbed through a Jingzhou soldier who was rushing forward and unable to escape.

This group of Jingzhou soldiers, which was not designed to fight against the cavalry, was not able to delay Cao Wei's cavalry, and was slaughtered in the impact in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Zhong then led the cavalry behind him and launched a suicidal charge towards the dark enemy army that could not be seen beyond...

Fortunately, the Thunder Cannon is tall enough, so it doesn't have to worry about missing its target even in a crowd.

"Oh? There are some brave men among Cao's army." Guan Yu still squinted his eyes. These five hundred cavalry were obviously not in his eyes yet. "Do you know who the leader is?"

After a while, the messenger flew to report: "General Guan, this person calls himself Yuan Zhong, the Duwei of Xiangyang!"

"Huh?" Guan Yu's eyes suddenly opened, and after a moment he ordered, "Send an order to all armies, don't shoot arrows, don't kill this man! I will lead my own soldiers to intercept him!"
