"So the gold sore medicine has no effect at all, and stronger antibacterial drugs are needed." Song Beiyun took out an arrow from the backpack of the sentry next to him: "Before the battle, the arrows were soaked in fecal water, this thing was going to hit someone, and it was infected the next day, and the probability of being rescued on the battlefield was very small, but it would not die immediately, and it would take several days to die." ”

Xiao Yu nodded again and again: "This is poison." ”

Ah...... In the absence of microscopic theories, it is really very difficult to explain poisonous substances and bacteria and viruses, in this era, most of the poisons are not toxins, because it is very difficult to purify, so deadly toxins are very rare and precious, and most of the poisons rely on bacteria to destroy the opponent's immune system.

The immune system that comes with the infection is simply the concept of "I admit that I have a gambling component, but today you and those things must die". So in the absence of medical treatment and not enough protein and calorie supplements, it is natural to say who the one who died.

"Song Beiyun, come on."

The sound of wonderful words sounded in the tent, and Song Beiyun patted Xiaoyu's head: "You go and rest first, and come out without hearing my movements." ”

"Where the duty lies."

"Okay, okay, I know you're doing your duty."

Song Beiyun got back into the tent and saw Miao Yan sitting on his chair fiddling with the compound bow: "This one is eliminated." ”

"Why? I think it's very easy to use. ”

"How can I describe this to you?" Miao Yan picked up the bow: "The range and power are great, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, the structure is too complicated, there are too many long and short levers, and you see." ”

Miao Yan couldn't pull the bow with all her might, so she simply didn't pull it, but gestured: "The position of the ordinary bow and arrow to the face is full of strings, and you have to go over the shoulder." The long stroke can indeed bring labor-saving effects, but the efficiency and frequency of archery in this pose are a mess and are not desirable. Comparatively, the crossbow is much better. ”

Miao Yan took the compound crossbow in her hand and turned it three and a half times to wind it, although it was still very difficult for her, but it was already much better.

"Didn't you notice that the structure of the bow and crossbow is about the same level of complexity? But the range, penetration, and initial velocity of the bow are much worse than the crossbow, and the more important thing is the degree of adaptation, and the crossbow is obviously better. In this way, the weight of the crossbow bolt can be increased accordingly, forming a high and low combination, which can shoot at both elevation and flat angles. ”

"Hmm...... Reasonable. Song Beiyun nodded and said: "Actually, there is no way to pull the tightrope now, if you can pull the tightrope, the crossbow is definitely better than the bow." ”

"That's for sure, but before mass production, you definitely have to work out the standardization. It is definitely not possible to do without modularity, and the first thing to solve in this line is modularity. ”

"Hmm." Song Beiyun touched his chin and nodded: "I just want to go home now...... Hurry up to the Ministry of Works. ”

"What's the hurry?"

Miao Yan smiled and patted his head: "There will be time in the future." ”

As he spoke, the storm suddenly changed outside, and it began to rain and rumble with thunder, and the climate of the sting season was undoubtedly evident at this moment.

"It's raining." Song Beiyun immediately got up and looked at the sky: "Go down bigger!" ”

The temporary dam upstream is two-thirds complete, and the storage capacity of this small dam is relatively average, but if you add the dammed lake overhead, this sudden flood is enough to cause the fall of Hengyang City.

Song Beiyun walked outside the big tent and shouted, "Go, put the notice into the city." ”

Soon, the heavily armed detachment arrived at the city, they held a shield in one hand and a stick tied with a strip of cloth in the other, the strip of cloth was wrapped in a stone, and the stone was tied with a notice written on the cloth, and after a few circles in their hands, they threw the stone into the city, and the rebels on the tower naturally began to counterattack, but as long as they saw the crossbow of the bed aimed at this side, the soldiers who threw the stones would be put back and retreat, and the ordinary bows and arrows would be blocked by shields and foot armor, and they would not work at all.

A basket full of strips of cloth with a notice of irrigation was thrown into the city, and then a lot of steamed buns wrapped in oilcloth were also thrown into the city.

Some of the soldiers at the head of the city were already very hungry, and they didn't care whether it was poisonous or not, so they picked it up and ate it, and after eating a few bites, they found that it was all right, and the people at the head of the city were in chaos, and they didn't care about shooting arrows down, so they picked up the best white-flour steamed buns on the ground.

"What for! What are you doing! The general walked up to the city, and when he saw that the soldiers were searching on the ground, he scolded with red eyes: "Don't pick it up!" Don't pick it up! ”

Seeing that his words were not useful, the general was already distraught, so he took out his matching knife and killed the two defenders who were squatting on the ground to collect something to eat, and scolded sharply: "If anyone is picking up, it will end like this!" ”

"General...... We were very hungry, and our rations were much less for the past two days, and the soldiers could only eat one meal a day, and they were all mixed grain bran cakes...... It's unsustainable. ”

A quartermaster hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded, "General...... You can do it, the soldiers are really running out of it. ”

The general crossed his waist and sighed, looked back at the city, and gritted his teeth: "I'll come to think with you!" ”

But where is the solution? The armaments in the city are only enough for 20 days, and according to the plan, there will be food from the end of Changsha County, but now that their city is besieged, they don't know how long they will be besieged, and now if they are open to eat, it will not be long before they will mutiny, and now the army outside the city is saying that the city will be flooded in three days, and now all the soldiers have begun to panic to varying degrees.

Now that Dashuai is bedridden again, life and death are uncertain, and he looks very helpless without the backbone.

As he walked around, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he looked at the tens of thousands of houses in the city......

At this time, Song Beiyun was eating lard residue, and five hundred pigs had just been sent from the rear, and it was definitely not enough for more than 100,000 people to kill and eat meat, so he tried his best to refine lard to meet the needs of some of the hardest soldiers.

The boiling hot oil is fried and fried, white and tender and crispy, even if nothing is added, it is an excellent delicacy, but even Song Beiyun himself only secretly ate two pieces, and the rest is to be supplied to the front-line soldiers, and if the others eat it, they will be beaten with military sticks.

"This one is delicious." Song Beiyun clapped his hands and said to a subordinate next to him: "Distribute it, let the soldiers eat some, you can bear with it." In the end, the supplies are still not abundant. ”

In fact, the people below didn't have any complaints, because they saw that Song Beiyun only took two bites to taste the taste, and they didn't even give it to the woman who had been following him.

What is the saying? If you don't suffer from injustice and give things to the barren majority, no one will ever object, even if they don't want to, but if they give it to people above the middle level, then they will make trouble, and everyone understands this truth.

"I tell you, after this counterinsurgency, no matter where you are assigned to duty, you must remember the three taboos to ensure that you are safe for the rest of your life." Song Beiyun took out a piece of cake from his arms and said while nibbling on it: "One is to be arrogant and extravagant, the second is to be afraid of arranging soldiers to grab food, and the third is to treat soldiers like animals." Remember, and you'll be done, and you'll be safe and secure as you do. ”

The lieutenant generals below echoed one after another, and Song Beiyun continued to ask: "You are all killing talents on the battlefield, so why is it better to attack with water than with fire during the siege?" ”

"My subordinates don't know ......"

Not...... Song Beiyun was not surprised at all, most of the generals at the grassroots level were actually semi-literate, and what they were best at was carrying a banner and shouting "Brothers, kill with me", they knew it but didn't know why.

Water attack is one of the fastest tactics to break down local morale during a siege, because the ubiquitous flood is more shocking than the fire that can be extinguished, and its unstoppable and irreversible damage to food, products, etc., is enough to completely lose the confidence of the defender in a short period of time.

This is a loss of culture, even Song Beiyun, who has never fought a war, can clearly recognize these under the teaching of King Fu.

But I can't stand the fact that many people's cognitive systems are different, just like before Song Beiyun crossed over, his father went to the countryside to help the poor, and it is impossible to describe how poor the poor households in those ravines and ravines are, but many of them will still take the seeds, chickens, and piglets that are distributed to eat.

This kind of thing is not like this if you have been to high school, but ...... I have to say that knowledge can really change fate, and reading is really useful.

It seems that it is time to find a way to get a military school out.

But now it's all nonsense, the military school is too far away, it's not what he thinks about now, when will he be able to become a supreme minister, when will he have this ability.

"Report! Yun Shuai, a message was sent from the rear, saying that Dingguo Gong had broken through Jiangzhou and was departing a part of his forces to aid Nanchang County. ”

"Pretty." Song Beiyun crossed his waist and took a deep breath: "If we open up the road to Nanchang, we will be stable!" ”

At the same time, there are chickens and dogs jumping in Hengyang City, although there is an order from above to only collect 30% of the surplus grain in the people's homes, but once these soldiers take action, they can't control so much, generally how much they rob, and they don't leave a trace of surplus grain at all, and the crying and scolding in the entire Hengyang City are connected into a piece.

In fact, the general knew these things in his heart, but now in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he can only turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to the boiling public resentment.

In the evening, the effect of the requisition gradually appeared, and the satisfaction of the soldiers skyrocketed, and almost everyone was in good spirits. As for the sickness in the city? What does that have to do with them?
