Chapter 157: The Plague

Elder Bing secretly said that it was not good, the distance they flew was too low! If they were shot down before flying over the wall, they would fall into the primeval forest, and all their efforts would be wasted.

Thinking of this, he ordered to go down and light some of these bonfires, which looked from the sky in a "¤" type. When the dead soldiers saw the symbol, they all pressed their fists against each other, and tried their best to ignite the fire, raising the height by another hundred feet, so that ordinary bows and arrows could not be shot at all, Cai Peilong couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand to ask his subordinates to go to General Jia and General Gou quickly.

Gou Ruwei was the first to arrive, and hurriedly ordered his men to open the tarpaulin of the huge windmill placed on the lookout, and several fan blades made of one zhang wide and ten zhang long white solid wood were like huge monsters swaying in the wind. Fu Bing jumped on the back of the horse and whipped the horses tied to the axle with all his might, and the horses suffered pain and "recovered" Screaming, rushing forward with four hooves, the giant windmill turned, and the five groups of war horses ran around the circle as if pulling a huge millstone together, the speed became faster and faster, and the whole windmill also spun rapidly, producing a huge wind, and the flying cowhides that were just about to jump over the high wall were affected by the wind on both sides, and they couldn't advance or retreat, and kept spinning in place, and the dead and the plague beasts were blown dizzy, and they couldn't stop roaring.

Elder Bing shouted badly, he had been monitoring the lookout on the high wall, only knowing that there were a few more giant wooden towers covered with tarpaulin, but he didn't think it was this kind of thing, and secretly couldn't help but have a little more admiration for the Electric King, who could stand in Bingzhou for decades, and really had some means. However, he did not panic, he had observed the sky the night before, the wind would get stronger and stronger, and when the cattle pulling the windmill were always tired, they must be slow down in a circle, all he was doing was waiting, changing the bonfire, and posing a "□" symbol, asking them to hold on.

The greatest ignorance of man is not reverence for nature.

Sure enough, the windmill spun more and more slowly, and the flying cowhides floated towards the high wall again. The horses were exhausted, blood was flowing from their mouths and noses, and despite the frantic whipping of the soldiers, the horses could only "neigh" for a long time, but they had no strength.

"Someone, change horses!" Gou Ruwei hurriedly ordered, but it was too late, one hundred and ten flying cowhides were already approaching the high wall, and they were about to enter the border of Bingzhou. Gou Ruwei was flustered, and even began to doubt his own ability, this idea was scoffed by others, only the power of the electric king supported her, but he didn't expect that the windmill that took so much manpower and material resources to make was so unbearable.

"Girl, let me come. A shout in the distance, so that Gou Ruwei stabilized his mind, it was Jia Haifei who hurried to arrive, followed by more than a dozen modified oversized carriages, each car is equipped with a five-zhang high wooden frame, wrapped in copper water and poured, on which there is a two-zhang long giant bow, with three-zhang long arrows, all made of giant bamboo in the primeval forest, with the tendons of the long snake as the bowstring, each giant bow needs eight strong Fu soldiers to operate, one of them commands, two arrows, and the remaining five pull the string together, to complete. Most of the giant bows were fixed to the ground, and some of them were placed on carriages to facilitate movement in case of unforeseen circumstances, but I didn't expect them to come in handy so quickly.

More than a dozen carriages lined up in turn, mounted on giant arrows, the person in command held the flag, the flag was raised, the string was pulled, the flag was moved, and the arrow was fired, all in one go. More than a dozen giant arrows whistled away with the sound of the wind, and the ten flying cowhides that flew forward broke through in response, smashed on the high wall, and tumbled and fell into the primeval forest.

The flying cowhide could only rely on the wind, and it flew slowly, and was almost used as a target by Jia Haifei, and nearly half of it was shot down outside the high wall after a few rounds. Elder Bing frowned, he didn't expect this giant bow to be so accurate, it seemed that he really underestimated them, and hurriedly ordered to go down, put the bonfire in the shape of "◇", and signaled the dead soldiers above to manipulate the fire and rise and fall rapidly, in order to avoid the attack of the giant bow, and continue to move forward slowly.

The dead soldiers controlled the fire in their hands, the flying cowhide went up and down, it did make the rune soldiers who manipulated the giant bow very headache, although the giant bow was powerful, but it was not flexible enough, it was not easy to adjust, just aimed, the target fell rapidly, had to let go of the bowstring and start over, it was extremely difficult to hit the target, and it took half a day to shoot down a dozen flying cowhides. On the wall of Bingzhou, countless Fu soldiers set up bows and released arrows, aiming at the flying cowhide that had fallen to a low place, but after all, the distance was too long, and even if some arrows could shoot on the cowhide, it was already the end of the strong crossbow and could not penetrate.

A scuffle, in addition to the broken and their own control mistakes fell, in the end there were more than 30 flying cowhides over the high wall, came to the sky over Bingzhou, the electric king listened to the report of the soldiers, and also rushed to the main lookout, hum Ha Er Cai was a little restless, and he already saw sweat on his forehead.

Jia Haifei hugged his fists and said: "Lord Electric King, although some fire monsters have crossed the high wall, but still not to be afraid, according to the layout of the Qinglong Qisu, in the corner, Kang, Di, Fang, heart, tail, Kei positions have placed a group of giant bows, only more than 30 cowhides, it will not take a moment to shoot down, please watch the Electric King from now on." The reason why they have not yet been launched is nothing more than to raise them into the urn and annihilate them all after they have entered. ”

The electric king came to the west-facing corridor of the observatory, Jia Haifei waved the flag in his hand horizontally, a huge bow had been launched, the bowstring was still trembling, a flying cowhide that had entered first had been pierced by a giant arrow, the hanging basket rolled and fell to the ground, a dead soldier of the Yanshang clan rolled out, and he was already killed, the electric king couldn't help nodding, there is such a huge bow array, those fire monsters who can only carve insects are indeed not afraid, Jia Haifei was complacent and proud on the side.

The dust settled around the hanging basket, and a light purple smoke rose from under the cowhide, getting thicker and thicker, and then a hedgehog as red as a fire came out from under the cowhide, and screamed angrily, although the dead man used his body to cushion his body under it when he fell, but he was still not lightly fallen, and several times he wanted to run but almost fell because of his unsteady standing.

The electric king stared tightly, his eyes were suddenly full of horror, and he grabbed Jia Haifei's hand that was about to raise the flag again, and shouted: "Don't let go of arrows, this monster is called Er, it is an ancient plague beast, and what they emit is a plague gas, quickly send people to notify Langzhong in the whole state to quickly prepare medicinal materials, burn medicinal soup, and distribute it to all the soldiers." ”

"Yes. Jia Haifei also panicked, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to act according to the order.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Elder Bing saw that only one of the flying cowhides that had crossed the high wall had been shot down and no longer fired arrows, and the other cowhides floated smoothly into the distance, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the other party had already seen through his plan? Elder Bing was a little hesitant, seeing that the cowhide was flying farther and farther, and it was already too late to control the descent, he gritted his teeth and commanded downward, and the people on the round platform changed the bonfire and put out the "×" symbol.

The dead man in the flying cowhide smiled miserably, turned his fists into palms, and slashed in all directions, the cowhide was suddenly cut to pieces, and the hanging basket fell rapidly to the ground, they untied the rattan that bound the plague beasts, hugged them tightly and placed them above their bodies, and closed their eyes in relief.

More than thirty flying cowhides fell instantly, frightened the Fu soldiers scattered and fled, the dust on the ground was flying, and there was a white, light green and lilac mist rising everywhere, watching the Fu soldiers who had absorbed the plague fall to the ground, the electric king was so angry that he almost rushed down from the lookout, and was pulled by several lieutenants, when the plague was raging, the higher the place, the safer.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the white, green, and purple are also getting thicker and thicker, like blooming flowers, swaying with the wind, and the whole Hyoshu exudes an eerie beauty.

In the green mist, a wild duck with a mouse's tail came out, fanned its short wings, limped and staggered, and everywhere it went, it generated a new green flower; the white pestilence became thicker and thicker, and a cow with a white head and a snake's tail could be vaguely seen lying on the ground, motionless, with its eyes closed in the middle of its face, and blood oozing outwards from the corners of its mouth; in the purple mist, the red hedgehog also fell hard, and it took a long time to open its curled body, but it still did not dare to move, while the owl with a pig's tail and a claw flew everywhere, and it was the only one who could fly, and there were almost no injuries on its body, only some fright。 The mist dispersed with the wind, and none of the Fu soldiers and civilians who were shrouded in it were spared, and they were in great pain.

Bingzhou was in a mess, when Langzhong was called, he didn't know all kinds of plague beasts, so he had to do his best to make all kinds of decoctions, all kinds of herbs were moved to the courtyard in bundles, thousands of big iron were lit at the same time, the strange smell was disgusting, the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with cloths, and sent the burned potions to various houses along the street, the lookout tower and the electric king's mansion and other generals' mansions, there were already Fu soldiers who took Langzhong and burned the medicine for fumigation, and the old lady and the little boy also poured several bowls early in case of accidents.

The first moment was terrible, and the panicked people, not knowing what was happening, screamed, ran, ran out of the house, ran into the house, ran out again, and scurried around at a loss. Outside, there is a fog and a lot of color, and after just a few puffs, various symptoms appear. Some people feel dizzy and painful, and their limbs are sore; some people have a high fever that does not go away, and their throats are dry and they want to drink; and some people feel cold all over their bodies, trembling and cramping. Seeing that Fu didn't receive the medicine, he didn't care about much, he pry open his mouth and poured it down, some people coughed and spit out black water, turning the crisis into safety, but they were still weak, and some people drank the decoction but the symptoms became serious, and they convulsed and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and died. The doctors everywhere were gone, and even the guys in the pharmacy or those who knew a little bit about the pharmacology of herbs and trees were also picked up by the Fu soldiers, and the people had no way to ask for help, and they were sad and grabbed the ground, and the wails were heartbreaking. Fu soldiers also inspect the dead bodies while delivering medicine, and those who die of the epidemic must be cremated immediately, otherwise not only the epidemic will spread, but also may cause a new epidemic. The Fu soldiers were also not comfortable, although they poured a stomach full of medicinal juice, but still people kept falling, and then they were cremated by their companions on the spot, and the entire Bingzhou became a purgatory on earth, crying all over the field, and grief.
