Chapter 1632 Siege, Decisive Battle
Dang, Dang, Dang!
On the Xing'an Prefecture tower, when the soldiers on the observation deck saw the Rong people's movements, they immediately beat their gongs and shouted: "The Rong people are coming to attack the city again! The Rong people are coming to attack the city again!"
Doctor Lu and several military doctors lived on the city tower. When he heard the shouts, he was so excited that he immediately rushed out of the house with the medicine box on his back, lay on the city wall, and looked at tens of thousands of soldiers.
Even though he was far away, Doctor Lu could detect the murderous intent of the soldiers.
Looking further away, the old camp of the Rong people was filled with flames. It looked like they must have burned the soldiers who were suffering from the poisonous insect disease.
If your own people burn your own people, this will probably lead to a decisive battle!
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"The Rong are attacking the city! The Rong are attacking the city!" The soldiers on the observation deck continued to beat the gongs and shout.
General Liang was eating. After hearing this, he rushed out of the house and said to the soldiers around him: "The Rong people are attacking the city. Let the soldiers prepare to fight. The Rong people should attack the city with slings first and let the brothers hide first. Avoid the boulder attack and then counterattack."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately rode on horseback on the city tower and shouted: "The Rong are attacking the city. General Liang ordered, brothers, first avoid the Rong's boulder attack and then fight!"
There was an immediate commotion on the city tower, and all the households, general banners, and soldiers under their command began to prepare to avoid the boulders.
"Niu Baihu, take me to see General Liang quickly. Mrs. Qin has reminded me that because the Rong people are determined to retaliate, I am afraid that this time they will not use catapults to attack the city first, but will put poison first and let the soldiers eat it quickly. Give me the antidote pill!" Dr. Lu found Niu DaBao and grabbed him.
"The soldiers and dog thieves are going to use poison again, brothers, take the antidote pills quickly!" Niu Dabao shouted to his brothers, and then said: "Go and talk to the Lei family caravan, the Feng family escort agency, and those who came to help defend the city. Tell the young men to take the antidote pills quickly!"
He brought his own soldiers, and he took a lot of detoxification pills on the way westward. He trusted these detoxification pills and took them immediately after hearing them.
Three soldiers went separately to inform the Lei family caravan, the Feng family escort agency, and the strong men.
"Niu Baihu said that the Rong people may attack with poison first this time. Everyone, take the detoxification pills first, take the detoxification pills first!" The three soldiers shouted as they ran.
Niu Dabao recently brought his brothers to the city tower to talk about how Gu Jinli had made an insect attractant to cure poisonous insect diseases. Therefore, everyone believed in Niu Dabao's words and the detoxification pills given by Gu Jinli. They heard the words of his soldiers. After that, he quickly took the detoxification pill.
"Quickly take out the cloth, wet it with water and cover your mouth and nose!" The flag captains ordered the soldiers again.
Dr. Lu has taught them many ways to prevent poisons in the past few days. One of them is covering their mouth and nose with a wet cloth and not breathing while the poison is dispersed.
"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly followed suit.
Therefore, when Niu DaBao brought Dr. Lu to see General Liang, many soldiers on the city tower were prepared for poison prevention.
"Poison attack?" General Liang was not surprised after hearing this, because Doctor Lu told him every day these days that the Rong people would definitely use poison attack to avenge those who were poisoned: "Let the soldiers eat it first Antidote pills, then hide behind the iron shield, wait for the poison attack to pass, and then use poison insects to counterattack."
Gu Jinli knew very well that if the army officially attacked the city, Xing'an Prefecture would not be able to withstand it for long, so she had been raising poisonous insects during this period... Since the use of poison in the battle between the two armies would be reviled by the old diehards in the capital, then use poisonous insects to attack.
Anyway, the poisonous insects were thrown in by the Rong people. If they threw the poisonous insects back, no one could say anything.
"Yes." General Liang's deputy generals, Baihu, Zongqi and Niu Dabao were very excited after hearing this. General Liang finally agreed to use insects to attack.
They went to do it immediately. As soon as they finished doing it, the Rong people's powerful crossbows came to kill them.
Whoosh whoosh!
The powerful crossbow arrows shot through the air, flashing across the sky like lightning under the light of the fire.
Bang bang bang!
The crossbow arrow penetrated the wall of the city tower, and the poison bag was knocked open. Countless poison powders scattered, filling the city tower like a thick fog.
Poison powder is poison powder, and the Rong people attack with poison first.
The soldiers were shocked, but also very lucky. Fortunately, they had taken the antidote pills in advance, otherwise they would have been destroyed.
However, the poison made by Tu Zhang was very powerful. Even if everyone took the detoxification pills and they were in the wilderness, the poison dissipated quickly, but many weak men still suffered from abdominal pain and vomiting.
Dr. Lu braved the thick fog of poisonous powder to crawl to treat the vomiting strong men.
After diagnosis and treatment, he pointed to the bamboo tube hanging on the strong man's waist and said, "Drink."
"Ugh~ Really, do you really drink it?" The poisoned young man looked horrified. Although the urine of a child does not taste strong, it is still urine after all, and it is still difficult to drink it.
Dr. Lu: “If you don’t want to die, drink it!”
The young Marquis's wife once said that there is something called the Phosphorus-Resolving Needle, which can cure poisons. This boy's urine has the same effect as the Phosphorus-Resolving Needle. Drinking it in an emergency, along with the Jiedu Pills, should save your life.
The strong man didn't want to die. Thinking that Dr. Lu's medical skills were superb and very trustworthy, he closed his eyes and drank the contents of the bamboo tube.
Whoosh whoosh!
Bang bang bang!
The poisonous crossbow arrows from the Rong people came over again, and the surroundings were filled with thick mist of poison.
The poison attack lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and Rong Ren finally ran out of poison.
"Assault on the city cone, break through Xing'an Prefecture, slaughter all the men of Da Chu, and capture the women of Da Chu alive!" Lemuqin gave the order to attack the city.
After hearing this, the soldiers, thinking of the Dachu woman's body, roared and pushed the siege cone and rushed towards the city gate.
"The Rong are attacking the city, release insect arrows!" General Liang gave the order to counterattack.
General Liang, as the main general, was surrounded by a group of soldiers with iron shields and protected in the middle. The city wall was too long and his voice could not travel far enough. After hearing this, the soldiers rushed out immediately and shouted: "Liang General’s order, release insect arrows to counterattack!”
After hearing this, the strong men immediately came to the soldiers with the wrapped poisonous insects and said: "Sir, take it and shoot it!"
There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in the voice... They never thought that General Liang would let them do this kind of job of trapping poisonous insects.
They have been tortured a lot these past few days, and some of the strong men even had poisonous insects worming their way into their bodies.
Fortunately, there are insect attractants, so the young men are fine.
But the soldiers on the tower laughed at them.
Now, it's their turn to take revenge!
"Master, what are you doing standing still? The bandits are coming. Hurry up and shoot the insect arrows."
"Master, don't be afraid. We have insect attractants. Even if poisonous insects get into your body, you can use insect attractants to lure them out."
"Yes, Master Jun, don't be afraid. Poisonous insects are not very scary. Look, they are so fat, just like the fat babies of those few months."
The soldiers' faces turned green, and they glared at the strong men. Holding back their fear and disgust, they picked up the small cloth bags containing poisonous insects, tied them to long arrows, and shot them at the soldiers.
Whoosh whoosh!
A hail of arrows hit the soldiers, but the soldiers were not afraid. They only used their iron shields to block the rain of arrows and continued to move forward.
