Chapter Eighty-Five: Night Attack
"Then let me ask you, the Wind Country has actually tried to get the plague in some places, why are most of the people who die are the people who live in dirty and messy places, but the rich rarely get the plague?" Xiao Tianyu asked rhetorically.
The soldiers in the quarantine area, of course, did not know.
Xiao Tianyu continued: "That's because the food and even the water that the rich people eat and even drink is cooked at high temperatures, and the room is cleaned every day, and then the house is smoked with wormwood on fire, which is very clean. In order to calm them down, Xiao Tianyu also mixed some gods and ghosts, "The plague god is afraid of cleanliness, the plague god likes dirty places, your fear is the guide of the plague god, if you still feel that you are dying, then you will move from the quarantine area to the treatment area next door, aren't you still sick?" Why are you so nervous! ”
After Xiao Tianyu's enlightenment, those soldiers were not as panicked as they were just now, but they were still worried that they would get sick, which was human nature.
Xiao Tianyu was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw General Jin Wuwei standing behind her, scaring Xiao Tianyu half to death.
General Kim Wuwei kindly apologized: "I'm sorry. ”
"The lower officials are terrified." Xiao Tianyu followed Jin Wuwei out of the quarantine area and left this dangerous place.
"Cao Jianjun, the general is curious, I wonder if you have a way to solve the plague of the Huns?"
Xiao Tianyu thought to herself: I'm not a doctor, how do I know.
"This is very difficult, because there are too many people, you don't know who those who are sick, but they don't show it, who they come into contact with, after all, you have also seen it, there are so many Huns, and they are all squeezed together, how to isolate? And they don't have medicine yet, the lower officials are incompetent, and they can't think of any way, but even the lower officials can't think of a way, those Huns are dead, congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. Xiao Tianyu told the truth, and there was a little compliment behind him.
General Jin Wuwei nodded and said nothing more.
There is still a continuous outbreak of plague in the Xiongnu army, and the knives of Pan Xingteng and Xiang Yuhua have not killed a single soldier of the Wind Country! He has killed a lot of his own people, no matter how he kills, he can't kill them all, and every day there is a steady stream of soldiers who are sick, which makes them very anxious, plus the granary and winter clothes that are already small, make them even worse.
"General, when does it usually snow?" Xiao Tianyu asked, his eyes flashing with excitement.
General Jin Wuwei stayed with Xiao Tianyu a lot, and guessed that Xiao Tianyu's stomach was bad, "It's already fast, just within these three or five days!" General Jin Wuwei saw that Xiao Tianyu was dressed a little thinly, and said with concern: "Cao Qing, you wear more clothes when you go out, you are weak, don't be cold." ”
Xiao Tianyu smiled and said, "General Xie cares. ”
Shen Xingzhou walked from a distance with a cloak, naturally draped the cloak on Xiao Tianyu, tied a bow tie, and instructed carefully: "My lord, remember to wear one more before going out next time, don't catch a cold." ”
General Jin Wuwei only felt strange when he saw this scene, "Cao Qing, if I remember correctly, Shen Xingzhou can actually be regarded as your boss, right?" How can you get your boss to carry your clothes for you? There is a difference between dignity and inferiority. ”
Shen Xingzhou relieved Xiao Tianyu of the siege, "General, Your Majesty said, we are at the same level, and I also treat him as a younger brother, so I should take care of him a little more." ”
Xiao Tianyu nodded again and again beside him.
General Jin Wuwei didn't care so much, "Cao Qing, you just asked when it will snow, but what are your plans?" ”
"When Shen Xingzhou and I drove out the people of those tribes, we only gave them some food found in the tribe, and did not give them winter clothes. Xiao Tianyu said.
At night, everyone fell asleep, leaving only a small number of people to patrol the city wall, Shen Xingzhou wrapped a thick coat, put on armor, and patrolled the city wall in full gear.
The wind was very strong, and there was the sound of whirring wind in his ears, Shen Xingzhou thought to himself: It seems that General Jin Wuwei has misestimated it, and the temperature should drop tonight or tomorrow night.
Suddenly, Shen Xingzhou heard some subtle sounds mixed with the sound of the wind, he looked down from above, it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything below at all.
Shen Xingzhou passed by a group of soldiers patrolling with torches.
"Give me your torches." Shen Xingzhou stopped a soldier at random and obtained a torch.
Shen Xingzhou threw the torch out with all his might, and the torch fell to the ground, illuminating the Huns wearing thin clothes below.
The patrolling soldiers hurriedly ran to ring the bell, and the sharp sound instantly resounded throughout the city, and the soldiers woke up from their sleep, hurriedly put their armor on their bodies, picked up their weapons and ran to the city wall.
The Huns under the city were discovered, rushed forward directly, threw something up, and firmly grasped the battlements, and the Huns grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Shen Xingzhou looked at the thing carefully, the head was like a claw, and the back was all straw ropes, but the grass ropes were outside, if you wanted to cut the straw ropes, your body had to be leaned out, Shen Xingzhou did not rashly probe, but changed positions, and saw a row of archers standing below, as long as the body leaned out, the archers below would release arrows.
At this time, many soldiers tried to reach out and cut the grass ropes, but they were shot dead by the archers.
"Knife hand go cut the rope, quick!" Shen Xingzhou made a decision immediately, and let the big swordsman use the advantage of the weapon to cut the rope by hiding behind the city wall.
The rope was relatively tough and not easy to cut, and the big swordsman tried hard for a while but did not cut it, and by this time some Huns had already climbed the city wall and engaged the soldiers of the Wind Country.
Shen Xingzhou ignored the danger, jumped onto the city wall, and instantly became the target of all the archers, all the arrows went straight to him, and the soldiers hurriedly leaned out and tried to cut the grass rope.
Finally, the first straw rope broke, and all the Huns on the straw rope fell, giving encouragement to the soldiers of the Wind Country, big.
The archers below didn't care about Shen Xingzhou anymore, and aimed at the soldiers who poked their heads out.
Shen Xingzhou took a machete, sank into the dantian, the big knife swung down, a straw rope broke, Shen Xingzhou performed light skills, leisurely fell to the next battlement, and cut another straw rope.
The archer hurriedly went to shoot Shen Xingzhou again, and the pressure on the soldiers was reduced by half, and they began to cut the rope again.
The Huns who had climbed up were all well entertained by the soldiers of the three Wind Countries, and Shen Xingzhou also ran to the place where the Huns climbed up quickly, and the Huns did not dare to approach wherever they went.
General Jin Wuwei took his personal guards to the city wall, and with General Jin Wuwei in command, the soldiers on the city wall had the backbone, found their respective positions, and began to counterattack.
Shen Xingzhou saw that General Jin Wuwei was in command, and he didn't need him to command, so he concentrated on killing the enemy.
Xiao Tianyu was woken up by the shouting of killing, but did not rush to the city wall, now the city wall is the most dangerous, whether he has martial arts or not, running over will only cause chaos for everyone, Shen Xingzhou will be distracted to protect her, Shen Xingzhou is a general, and he can't waste it.
Xiao Tianyu turned over and got out of bed, feeling that the temperature was not right, the temperature had dropped a lot, wrapped a few more clothes, commanded the civilian officials in the army to do a good job of logistics, all the rocks and logs were moved out, and new weapons were also prepared, so that the soldiers fighting above could change their weapons at any time.
Why were those Huns able to attack the city? Don't they have a ladder? Xiao Tianyu wondered in his heart.
"You, yes, it's you, come here" Xiao Tianyu casually beckoned a soldier, "You go up and see, those Huns climbed up with something, if you can get that thing, finally bring it over to me to see." ”
Xiao Tianyu is holding an iron claw in his hand, this thing is most common in movies and TV series with the theme of tomb robbery or adventure, Xiao Tianyu pulled the straw rope and found that it was difficult to tear it off, and it was full of toughness.
Xiao Tianyu took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut it for a while with the strength of milk, took off a small piece of straw rope, ran to a nearby camp tent and took a lamp, poured lamp oil on the straw rope, and threw it into the brazier that was placed outside for lighting, and found that the straw rope had been burning for a while and had not been broken.
Xiao Tianyu wondered in his heart, isn't that an ordinary grass? Why is it so hard to cut and still burn-resistant? It's completely different from what is written in the novel!
A huge cheer erupted on the city wall, and Xiao Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that he had repelled the Huns.
General Jin Wuwei did not rest, and directly summoned all the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army for a meeting, and Xiao Tianyu and Shen Xingzhou consciously sat in the last seat.
General Jin Wuwei also put an iron claw in front of him: "What do you know about this siege weapon?" ”
Xiao Tianyu stood up, "General, I experimented just now, and there is no way to deal with that iron claw, so I experimented on the grass rope tied with iron claws, which is difficult to cut, and it is also very resistant to burning, and before the rope is burned, several Huns can climb up." ”
General Jin Wuwei had a headache and said, "Then do you have any solution?" ”
Xiao Tianyu sneezed, and the eyes of the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army changed when they looked at Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu obediently moved his little horse to the door, and complained in a low voice: "This ghost weather is too cold." ”
Xiao Tianyu's mind suddenly turned: "I have a way!" ”
The soldiers went out to the river to fetch water, and all the water they brought was poured on the city walls.
Soldier A complained: "I really don't understand how those officials are acting as demons all day long, why do we go to fetch water to water the city wall, thinking that we are very idle?" ”
Soldier B echoed: "That is, we fought all night last night, and we didn't even sleep, and now we have to go to fetch water, so we have to find a suitable time to exercise our physical fitness!" ”
The two soldiers were scolding there, but they didn't know that Shen Xingzhou and Xiao Tianyu were standing behind them.
Shen Xingzhou couldn't listen anymore, and gave the two soldiers a kick, and the two soldiers realized that there were people behind them, and one of them was the general who stood on the battlements last night and went on a killing spree.
The two soldiers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "General, my lord, we didn't mean it, please forgive us!" ”
Xiao Tianyu ignored them, bypassed them, and continued to go his own way.
Shen Xingzhou still felt puzzled, and raised his foot and kicked them again before leaving.
