Chapter 372 War begins

In fact, most fractures can be healed by simply reducing them with traditional bone injury techniques and adding a small splint. Only open fractures or complex fractures require surgery.

After a fracture, there is local swelling and pain. External application of Chinese medicine can relieve pain, promote local blood circulation and eliminate swelling. At the same time, oral administration of Chinese medicine decoctions that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and connect bones and tendons can accelerate fracture healing.

Rehabilitation exercises based on the principle of gradual progress can promote fracture healing and prevent complications such as osteoporosis and joint stiffness.

Everything was ready, and Shen Jia began to perform surgery on Lu Cheng.

While performing surgery on Lu Cheng, she explained in detail.

The operation took an hour and a half to complete, and Shen Jia put a small splint on Lu Cheng to fix him.

Then he explained the precautions for surgery and nursing to other medical staff who could not watch the operation in person.

They listened very carefully and asked questions in time if they had any questions. Shen Jia answered them carefully one by one.

Everyone was preparing for the battle, practicing shooting, swordplay, fighting, and archery...

The Flying Tigers and the Pioneer Team went into the mountains to hunt every day, and the prey they brought back was first used by the women's medical team to practice suturing techniques.

Shen Jia, Shen Hao, Xiao Yichen, and Ling Yunsu went to the mountains and came back three days later with a bag on their backs.

The plum blossom sleeve arrows that Shen Jia had specially made for the soldiers were also delivered.

The plum blossom sleeve arrow can hold six arrows and can be fired continuously, killing enemies within thirty steps after being shot.

Taking into consideration that not every soldier could ride and shoot, she proposed the sleeve arrow to the emperor and Xiao Yichen, and told them the structural principle of the sleeve arrow. Xiao Yichen drew the picture himself and marked the dimensions. The emperor gave the drawing to the Minister of Works and ordered him to have it made as soon as possible.

Shen Zhuoyun also sent the sleeve arrows that Shen Jia had been thinking about in his spare time to the emperor for reference. With the reference material, the Ministry of Works quickly made it. After the emperor tried it, they began to speed up production. Yesterday, 70,000 sets of sleeve arrows were delivered, enough for one set for each person.

Shen Jia taught everyone how to use the sleeve arrows in just one day. Xiao Yichen sent people to deliver 4,000 sets of sleeve arrows to General Lu in Tacheng and taught them how to use them.

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of February. Xiao Yichen, Shen Jia, Yi Zhenpeng, Luo Yan, General Mu, Ling Yunsu, Chen Hua... and others were sitting in the study discussing the plan to go to war with the Tatars.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen simulated the situation over and over again on the sand table, considering all the possible problems that might arise and correcting any omissions in a timely manner.

After more than three hours, they finally worked out a perfect battle plan.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Hao and Ling Yunsu used bombs to clear the way for them.

The Vanguard and the Flying Tigers were the vanguard, and Yi Zhenpeng and Luo Yan led 40,000 elite cavalry to assist.

General Mu and several other generals followed closely with their infantry.

Tianji Pavilion and General Lu led the cavalry to cut off their retreat in Tacheng.

Military doctors and women's medical teams followed the army, carrying medicine boxes, ready to treat the wounded at any time.

The next day, Shen Jia carefully reminded Shen Hao and Zhou Sizheng of various matters that they needed to pay attention to, and then went to the military camp and the women's medical team to give them more instructions.

On the morning of February 13, at dawn, Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Hao, and Ling Yunsu rode their horses straight to the Tatar camp.

They did not force their way in, but predicted the distance of the bombs based on the information provided by the scouts before arriving, and found the most suitable position to rein in the horses.

Their horses' hooves were wrapped with cotton, and they were completely out of the range of the Tatar archers. Even if the Tatars discovered their whereabouts, they would not be able to guess their true intentions due to the distance.

By the time they reacted, the bomb had already exploded and the smoke was so thick that they had no time to react.

The four men took out the bombs from their backpacks, clamped their horses' bellies and approached the Tatar camp as quickly as possible, and threw the bombs into their tents without hesitation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Huge explosions rang out one after another in the Tatar camp. The entire Tatar camp seemed to be shaking. Fire, smoke, and dust were flying, mixed with piercing screams. The tents that were bombed collapsed, and the bloody limbs and arms of the Tatars were everywhere. The Tatar camp was in chaos and the soldiers fled in all directions.

After Shen Jia and his companions successfully delivered a wave of bombs to the Tatars, they rode around to the other side of the Tatar camp and delivered another wave of bombs.

The two bombs were dropped with an interval of less than a quarter of an hour, and they were thrown in before the Tatars could react.

The main purpose of Shen Jia and his team's operation this time was to catch them by surprise and unprepared.

Amur and Xiao Hongbin were soundly sleeping when they were awakened by the sound of bombs. Horrified, they immediately ran out of the tent and looked at the fire as if in a dream. The place was filled with smoke and devastation, and it was a horrible sight.

Amur's eyes flashed with rage, "Pass the order down, beat the war drums immediately and prepare for battle."

Xiao Hongbin frowned and said, "Third Prince, Xiao Yichen's sneak attack this time has bad intentions. We must be fully prepared."

Amur's eyes were heavy. "Are there any news about the people you sent overseas to buy weapons?"

Xiao Hongbin shook his head: "I haven't received any news yet."

Amur snorted coldly: "Then let's fight them to the bitter end. I want to see how Xiao Yichen's few tens of thousands of troops can fight against my 250,000-man army?"

After saying this, Amur returned to the tent.

Xiao Hongbin had a bad feeling in his heart. Based on his understanding of Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia, they would never fight a battle without confidence. He felt that the Tatar army would lose this war.

Xiao Hongbin took a look at Amur's tent, then looked in the direction of Wucheng, and quickly made a decision in his mind.

Before the Tatar army had assembled, the charge horn of the Great Zhou was sounded. The vanguard and the Flying Tigers took the lead and rushed to the front. Yi Zhenpeng and Luo Yan led 40,000 cavalrymen following closely behind.

The deafening sound of horse hooves came from afar, shaking the earth, and the neighing of horses resounded through the sky.

Amur looked up and saw a large number of soldiers and horses appearing in front of him. Bright flags fluttered in the wind under the blue sky, bright armor shone with dazzling luster, the long spears in the hands of the cavalrymen shone with cold light, the horses' hooves made a rumbling sound, and they rushed forward with unstoppable momentum.

Amur narrowed his eyes slightly. The people of the Great Zhou were riding Tatar war horses? When and from whom did they get the war horses?
But this was not the time to pursue this, so he said to one of the Tatar generals: "Pass the order and attack with all your strength."

Following Amur's order, the Tatar cavalry, with spears in hand, charged towards the Zhou army at a swift speed.

The Flying Tigers and the Vanguard at the front quickly formed a battle line. They were well-equipped, and their skills were extraordinary both on horseback and on foot. Their tactics were varied and ingenious, and their formations were mysterious. They coordinated with each other in a close and orderly manner. The Tatar soldiers fell down in large numbers without even touching the corners of their clothes.
