Chapter 68 Hell Scene(1/2)
Somewhere on the flat land 15 miles west of Ilon Ferry.
In order to rest and recuperate better, the Britannia Empire's remaining army of less than 90,000 troops retreated 15 miles in one breath, and then stationed themselves here.
Ah, no, it should be said that it was the "defeated army" of the Britannia Empire with less than 90,000 troops.
In less than a morning, the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the 7th Army were crippled by the 4,000 armored holy cavalry led by Allen.
After the entire army retreated, statistics showed that the 7th Army suffered nearly 14,000 casualties in the battle just now. In a 7th Army formation in Nuo Da, only 6,000 people were still standing.
The casualties of the armored holy cavalry were estimated to be around 800, and most of the 800 casualties of the enemy were caused by the crossbowmen led by Su Cheng.
The opponent only suffered 800 casualties, wounded and killed 14,000 of our own people.
A disastrous defeat, a complete defeat.
Although the most elite force of the Frank Empire, the Iron-clad Holy Cavalry, injured 800 people, it is quite a cause for celebration.
However, if you compare it with your own side's tragic casualties, you will find that this result is simply not worth mentioning.
The Armored Holy Cavalry is indeed the elite force of the Frank Empire, but the 100,000 troops brought this time are also the elite force of the Britannia Empire!
These 100,000 soldiers and horses are soldiers of the Gabriel Knights, the strongest knighthood in the Britannia Empire.
The other side used 800 elite soldiers to exchange for 14,000 elite soldiers on their side.
It’s not a loss no matter what.
The Battle of Iron's Ferry ended with the disastrous defeat of the Britannia Empire.
...
At this time, the injured treatment area of the Britannia Empire Rescue Army.
After the army withdrew, the commanders and deputy commanders worked together to direct the soldiers to carry some of the surviving wounded soldiers of the 7th Army to the casualty treatment area in an orderly manner, so that military doctors could quickly treat the injured who could still be saved.
Diseases are treated.
Military tents were set up one after another outside the casualty treatment area. The white military tents like white clouds formed a large circle.
If you look down from the sky, you can see a white circle, and this white circle has only a small gap, and this small gap is specially used for people to enter and exit the casualty treatment area.
And in this large open space surrounded by white military tents, there were lying wounded soldiers who had been brought over.
A rough count shows that there are more than 2,000 wounded soldiers lying in this open space, and this number is still rising rapidly.
Because, there are still many wounded soldiers being carried into the casualty treatment area one after another.
The blood flowing from the wounded soldiers continued to flow out of their bodies, gradually darkening the open space beneath them.
The rich smell of blood is like an invisible chain firmly locked in this open space. No matter how you dispel the strong smell of blood, it will gather back again.
The soldiers who were responsible for carrying the wounded soldiers in couldn't help but frown and hold their breath after entering the wounded treatment area.
Most of them were veterans who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but even so, after entering the casualty treatment area, they were still frightened by the rich smell of blood inside, and all of them reflexively held their breath.
After holding his breath, he put the wounded soldiers away and quickly "escaped" from here as if running away.
In addition to the strong smell of blood that penetrates your nostrils, there are also endless screams and wailings here.
Most of the wounded soldiers were pressing their wounds in pain, wailing and screaming one after another.
And those who did not hold their wounds and allowed the wounds to bleed basically did not have the strength to hold the wounds.
"Ahhh! My hand!!"
"It hurts... it hurts..."
"Doctor! Help me quickly!!"
"I... don't want to die..."
"Everyone is welcome! Help me heal my leg!!"
…
Because there were too many wounded, and the military doctors accompanying the army were obviously unable to cope with so many wounded.
Military doctors were in the white military tents surrounding the open space, performing treatment and operations on the wounded.
Although the military doctors are all working overloaded, the huge difference in the number of military doctors and wounded soldiers has destined that some of the wounded soldiers will die before the military doctors come to treat them.
In the white military tent where the wounded soldiers were being treated, wails and screams were heard one after another.
Not only that, in addition to the wails and screams of the wounded soldiers, there were also screams and scolds from military doctors inside the military tent.
"You guys! Hold him down quickly!! Don't let him move!!"
"Ahhhh! Doctor!! My hand! My hand!!"
"If you want to live! You have to saw off your hand! Don't worry! There is anesthesia! The pain will be alleviated a lot! Be obedient! Don't move!!"
"Go bring more water in quickly!!"
…
In this world, anesthetics have been invented, but the effects of this anesthetic are far from being as effective as the anesthetics on Earth, which can render patients unconscious.
The anesthetics in this world can only reduce your pain a lot, but there is still pain.
For example, if your original pain during surgery was 10, but using anesthesia can reduce your pain to 4.
Although the pain has been reduced so much, the pain of surgery can still make people with weak willpower miserable.
One basin after another of clean water was brought into the white military tent, and soon basins of blood were brought out.
Su Cheng looked at the basins of clear water being transported into the white military tent, and the basins of bloody water being transported out of the white military tent.
Listening to the endless screams and wails of the wounded soldiers and the anxious scoldings and roars of the military doctors.
The scene in hell is probably like this. Su Cheng thought silently in his heart.
The commanders and deputy commanders of the Britannia Imperial Rescue Army are now in this casualty treatment area.
They were all waiting in front of a white military tent.
Silently waiting for the military doctors in this white military tent to finish the operation.
The reason why the army commanders and deputy commanders, including Su Cheng, are waiting in front of this military tent is because the commander Nicholas and the 7th Army Commander Enli are both undergoing treatment in this military tent.
Operation.
The military commander and deputy military commanders are all anxiously waiting for the treatment results.
Su Cheng noticed that in the military tent responsible for treating Nicholas and Enli, the clean water basin and blood basin were replaced much faster than other military commanders.
Clean water is being brought in almost every second, and while new clean water is being sent in, dirty bloody water is being sent out.
"It seems that he is still undergoing treatment very nervously..." Su Cheng murmured.
Alyssa, who was standing next to Su Cheng, happened to hear Su Cheng's murmur, her face tightened, and the anxious look on her face became more intense.
Both Nicholas and Enley were seriously injured, especially Nicholas.
Enli only had a hole in his abdomen. Although it was a serious injury, it was nothing compared to the injuries suffered by Nicholas.
After Deng Jiaer rescued Nicholas from the chaotic 7th Army formation, he had vented more air and taken in less air.
Therefore, after Nicholas safely retreated to the rear, military doctors immediately gave him emergency treatment.
However, even though he was seriously injured and unconscious, Nicholas was still holding the sword in his hand tightly.
When fighting Allen, in order to hold the sword better, Nicholas tore off a strip of cloth from his cloak, and then used the strip to tie his right palm and the hilt of the sword tightly together.
The large amount of blood flowing out of Nicholas's body dyed the cloth deep black.
The military doctors cut the strip of cloth wrapped around Nicholas' right palm and sword hilt, and found that the sword hilt had stuck to the bloody fingers, and the entire palm had become hard.
So the military doctors had no choice but to pry Nicholas's fingers off the sword hilt one by one. Finally, with a clang, the sword in his hand finally fell.
After breaking the knight's sword away from Nicholas's hand, the military doctors suddenly heard Nicholas, who should have been seriously injured and unconscious, start to murmur!
A military doctor put his ear close to Nicholas' mouth and finally heard clearly what Nicholas was saying.
"Give me the sword...Give me the sword...Give me the sword...I want to...kill the enemy..."
Nicholas, even though he was seriously injured and unconscious, still held the sword in his hand tightly and still wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Looking at Nicholas's heroic gesture, many female military doctors present shed tears on the spot, and the eyes of the male military doctors also turned red.
The army commanders and deputy commanders, including Su Cheng, were all moved after hearing this.
Su Cheng was not familiar with Nicholas, they had only met each other a few times, but now he couldn't help but respect this veteran who was over fifty years old.
At this time, he also sincerely hoped that Nicholas could recover and return.
...
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the treatment results.
Finally, a military doctor came out of the military tent!
Before the military doctor could speak, the military commanders and deputy commanders immediately gathered around him.
"Doctor!" Alyssa asked first, "What's the result of Nicholas and Enli's treatment?"
To be continued...
