The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 246 The Cruelty of War

Ancient wars were very cruel and vicious. The ancients discovered very early that the feces of humans and other animals were very dirty and smelly, especially attracting flies. Later, they also realized that when human feces comes into contact with human wounds at certain times, it will cause Because of the ulceration of wounds, it is believed that these feces contain toxins excreted by the human body and are harmful to the human body.

When the ancients realized this, they quickly applied it to war. It has to be said that human beings are always doing everything they can to kill the same kind.

In fact, because human feces are very dirty, contain a lot of bacteria and food residues, and spoil very quickly, they are all breeding grounds for bacteria to nourish, and smear some feces on the arrows, or use arrows to stir After the shit (sometimes soldiers will directly dip the arrows in gold juice), it is equivalent to smearing a layer of poison on the arrows. In game language, it is to add a layer of "magic damage" to the weapon, making the target wound fester. deterioration.

When this kind of stuffed arrow is shot, the enemy will ask for more blessings and pray that he will not be shot. Even if he is shot, he will be rescued and cleaned up in time.Because once this kind of arrow smeared with shit hits the enemy, even if the arrow does not kill the enemy immediately, does not cause serious bodily harm such as hemorrhage to the enemy, and let him die in a short time, it is very troublesome and annoying. A vicious thing.

Because as long as the enemy hit by the arrow is not treated and cleaned up quickly and effectively, it will be a very painful torment waiting for him, because the bacteria in the feces will quickly expand into their wounds and blood, continuing to cause secondary damage to the enemy, Constantly infecting bacteria and infecting wounds, in ancient times without antibiotics, this kind of injury was very vicious and almost incurable. The wounded could easily die of pain due to wound infection or tetanus caused by bacteria, even if they did not die temporarily. It will lose the ability to continue fighting and increase the logistical pressure.

In fact, in the age of cold weapons, most soldiers were too late to deal with arrow wounds after being hit by arrows, because they had to fight on the battlefield constantly. Very good treatment, it is very likely that the military doctor just took out the arrow for the wounded soldier and cleaned the wound a little. After the wounded soldier received this kind of assistance, it may not be a serious problem at the time, but as long as there is a little bit in the wound that is not cleaned up , it will be troublesome after that. The wounded soldiers are likely to suffer from wound infection, tetanus, and then tragically die after the incident, not knowing how to die.

Coincidentally, when the ancients realized that the filth such as feces can greatly affect human health, they also developed another more famous biochemical weapon, that is, the famous gold juice.

In ancient Chinese books, records about golden juice can often be found, which is a powerful weapon for defending the city, and it is also quite vicious.

The so-called golden juice here actually refers to the boiled fecal juice (mixed with feces and urine, and some even put oil). This weapon is very powerful and is very common in ancient siege warfare. Although golden juice The materials used are very simple and can be taken anywhere, but the power is very amazing. As long as someone is scalded by this hot gold juice, then the soldier will bet luck with the Lord of Hell.

Because the scalding golden juice will cause burns to the human body, even a large area of ​​the whole body, and take people's lives, and this is not the end. Dirty bacteria, infecting the human body, this biochemical weapon has no antidote in ancient times, so it is really a very vicious weapon.

Li An now has a way to deal with these two methods of killing, which is to use alcohol to disinfect.

You need 75% alcohol, which is just the right amount to inhibit bacteria. Some people may say that if alcohol is applied to a wound, how painful will it be? I would like to ask this question, do you want to die or are you afraid of pain?

In addition to the alcohol, Ang Lee will also provide catgut and suture therapy.

During the Zhenguan period, there was no suture therapy, so someone asked, without suture therapy, what to do with knife wounds?
There are two treatment methods. If your wound is small, simply clean it and bandage it; because medical skills are not yet able to suture it, you can survive without infection in the later stage; if the wound is large, it will definitely become infected in the later stage, and high fever will occur after infection. It will cause necrosis symptoms. This kind of disease is almost certain to be dead, and the probability of survival is extremely low.If your wound is large, then the second treatment method is simple cleaning, bandaging, and ironing; but this method is only used on generals, because ordinary soldiers have no time to scorch the wound with a branding iron. Why?First, there are many soldiers, not as important as generals; second, Luo Tie is not something that ordinary men can bear. This method is simple and crude, but it is too harmful. Most people are not strong-willed enough. Often, the soldering iron is used before the effect is achieved. die.

Is there any other way?

It really doesn’t exist anymore. You will be very surprised why there is no suture therapy? Suture is so simple. Aren’t the ancients very smart? In fact, there is suture therapy. However, suture therapy has no problem at first, but ulceration will occur later, and every time After suturing, the probability of ulcers on the wounded body will become greater, because the ancients did not know bacteria and they did not have catgut.

Suture therapy must be combined with alcohol and catgut, so that there is no bacteria, otherwise you will die.

This is the main reason why suture therapy is so simple, but no one uses it.

"Uncle, this is alcohol, and this is catgut. If a soldier suffers a knife wound, he can use hemp powder to sew the soldier's wound with the catgut, and then apply alcohol to disinfect it. , I dare not say that the survival rate of soldiers is [-]%, but it will also increase to [-] or [-]%, which will greatly reduce the mortality rate of our soldiers."

"Hiss!" After listening to Li You's introduction, Changsun Wuji showed a shocked expression.

Changsun Chong quickly said happily: "This catgut and alcohol are really good. If it is really effective, then we will reduce too many casualties in the attack on Tuyuhun this time.

Moreover, those soldiers who were injured and survived are the treasures of our Datang. With them, our Datang will build everything. "

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's enter the palace now and present the east and west to our father." Princess Changle was a little excited.

Li An quickly grabbed Princess Changle and said, "Stop running around and just stay here in Lijia Village. As for the things, let my uncle deliver them!"

"Yes, I'm going to deliver them now. If Your Majesty knows that catgut and alcohol can bring more of our soldiers from the Tang Dynasty back to the Tang Dynasty from the gate of hell, he will definitely be even happier."
