Chapter 33: Poisoning
"Marshal, it's not good!"
"Panicked, what's the matter?" Changfeng drank the panicked soldier and asked.
"Marshal Qiyu, I don't know why, suddenly many soldiers are exhausted, and some people vomit nonstop. There are a few soldiers, and it's no longer possible. ”
What the? Hurried to the camp, sure enough, everyone was pale and weak. In severe cases, symptoms of dyspnea have even appeared.
It must not be a coincidence that so many people have developed the disease en masse.
Ruoxi suddenly remembered the miasma forest they had encountered on the road.
That miasma forest was obviously deliberately done by someone, in order to force them to take a detour, so that Nancang would have enough time to capture Yang City.
This time, Nancang has such a person who is good at drugs, and this incident is hard to guarantee that Nancang did not move from it.
"Marshal, judging from the pulse, it is poisoned, but what kind of poison it is, the subordinate officials still have to consider one or two."
If you try their pulse, it is indeed poisoning, as the military doctor said.
Ruoxi is also a healer, and knows that if you don't know what poison is in it, it is difficult to detoxify. The most urgent task at the moment is to find out as soon as possible what poison was caused and how.
"Will it be breakfast?" Long air ducts.
Ruoxi shook her head, no, she also ate breakfast, and she didn't have any symptoms. However, Changfeng reminded Ruoxi.
"General Li, can the local defenders in Yangcheng get sick?"
"Marshal Qiyu, no."
Ruoxi's thoughts were racing.
Almost all of the people who fell ill were Red Flame Army, proving that this source of poison was not accessible to others. Almost all of the Red Flame Army was poisoned. Could it be?
In order to get water conveniently, the Red Flame Army dug two wells in the garrison. This is the best place to poison.
Ordered someone to hit the water, Ruoxi carefully tasted the product, and used internal force to catalyze the onset of toxins.
She knew what was poisonous!
"It's red tassels."
Red tassel is a chronic poison that does not cause immediate illness and may require at least a few months of continuous consumption before symptoms become apparent. But when these soldiers passed through the miasma forest, they more or less inhaled the miasma. However, this miasma can promote the medicinal properties of red tassel grass.
Ruoxi had always thought that the miasma forest was just to delay their march, and he never thought that it would be used for such a purpose. It's a link, but it's a good strategy.
"Report! Marshal Qiqi, there is movement in the Nancang position. ”
What the? Everyone was amazed. This, this Red Flame Army has been poisoned, and it has no combat effectiveness at all, only with 30,000 defenders of Yang City, how to deal with the enemy's 200,000 army.
Chu Haochu, you really spare no effort, one move after another.
"How, how is this good?" The situation was urgent, and they were helpless, so they could only look at Ruoxi, hoping that she would have a way to retreat from the enemy.
"Come, thoroughly investigate all water sources, grain and grass in the city, and be sure to be thorough, in case there are other poisoning sites. These places are stationed with people, and those with suspicious deeds are arrested; Resistant, kill.
"Please quickly invite the doctors of the whole city to cooperate with the military doctors to save people." Ruoxi walked up the castle tower and gave an order.
"Li Wuxu, gather all the soldiers who can go into battle. Give me the map. ”
Ruoxi looked at the military flag on the city tower, this wind direction is just right.
"Shadow, do you see that hillside?" Ruoxi pointed to a high ground outside Yangcheng and said to the shadow, "They gave us such a big gift, if we don't return the gift, it seems that we don't know how to be polite." ”
"Understood." The shadow took the command. The generals were in the clouds and didn't know Ruoxi's plans.
"Changfeng, you take the Xianji Battalion to change into Nancang's military uniform, and when we fight, we will mix in."
The Xianji Battalion was on a mission last night and had just returned to the city, and it was not poisoned, so it could be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe.
"The rest, but anyone who can use weapons, will go out with me to teach these Nancang people who don't know the height of the sky."
Be! Under Ruoxi's handsome banner, the morale of the generals is high!
At this time, the Nancang army has already arrived in the city.
Ruoxi took the arrows of the little soldiers around him, and did not go down the city tower, but jumped directly from the city tower. Three arrows fired again, breaking the opponent's handsome flag.
By the time the other party reacted, Ruoxi had already landed firmly on his mount Chasing Wind and had entered the enemy.
Ruoxi is to deter them.
Chasing the wind is one of the famous horses in a million, following Ruoxi for many years, very smart, one person and one horse, with no seamless.
Most of the defenders of Yangcheng are fighting against each other in the true sense of the word for the first time. It was also the first time I had seen such a coach; For the first time, I knew that the battle could still be fought like this.
A spear in Ruoxi's hand is full of might, and when it goes down, it will stab a large area. An enemy a thousand times greater than oneself is so close that he is not so close.
It's so cool!
Other than that, they don't feel anything else.
There is no need to protect the manager, the key manager is still so desperate. 30,000 horses against 200,000 troops, it can fight for so long.
The difference in numbers between the two sides is too great. With their momentary bravery, they killed the enemy by surprise, but soon Nancang reacted and quickly formed a siege around them.
"Uh." A fallen Nancang soldier looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and he didn't understand why his own people would kill him until he died.
More and more Nancang people are aiming their blades at their own people. And these people are ruthless, and they are all killed with one sword.
Being attacked by his own people, this kind of surprise, disbelief, and even fear made Nancang riot again in the encirclement that had just formed.
Calculate the time, and it's about the same.
"Collect the troops!" Ruoxi's voice spread throughout the battlefield with internal force. It reaches the ears of every Liguo person.
These soldiers, from ordinary soldiers to generals, have already thrown themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Ruoxi admires. Whatever the marshal says, it is.
Defend while retreating.
Hey, why do you feel that the people in Nancang are not right? It seems to be weak.
Chu Haochu, who had been commanding from behind, also noticed the difference between himself and the soldiers.
"Young master, why do your subordinates feel weak and powerless?"
"Mingjin retreats." I thought that I could capture Yangcheng in one fell swoop and take Ling Ruoxi, but I didn't want to have a change. Just, what's the problem? Father came to a secret letter, saying that Ling Ruoxi was good at poison and asked him to deal with it carefully, but he was careful enough, how did this Ling Ruoxi do it?
"General Li, count the casualties."
Although they narrowly won, they also paid a lot of price.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
The faces of these soldiers were stained and bloodstained, but the eyes that looked at Ruoxi were shining. They never imagined that they would win this battle. With 30,000 horses, the enemy repulsed 200,000 horses.
Handsome tent.
"Marshal, what's going on?" Not to mention other soldiers, even Li Wuxu's voice could not hide his excitement. He can be regarded as having seen the ability of this Anping general.
Ruoxi is the same as Chu Haochu at this point.
The arrangement of troops is one link after another.
Before, she attacked the Nancang camp at night and burned their grain and grass, one of which was to boost morale. Second, it is to force Nancang to adjust grain.
They are stationed outside the city, and there is a steady supply of grain and grass from Nancang, and burning their grain and grass will not have a big impact. This is something that Ruoxi naturally wants.
But what they didn't expect was that that night, the people of the Xianji Battalion had already taken advantage of the chaos to go around their rear and add something to their grain and grass.
The purple fan mixed with grain is colorless, tasteless and non-toxic, and Nancang will naturally not notice it. And the thing Ruoxi gave to the shadow today is rue. This stuff is also non-toxic. But when mixed with purple fans, it can make people weak and powerless.
"General, if you want me to say that Lao Zhao should give them a poison and kill them directly."
"Lao Zhao!" The general next to him pulled Lao Zhao and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
What is wrong is the insatiable ruler who wags war for his own selfish desires, and these soldiers are just a form of obedience.
Defeat them on the battlefield, that is dignified; How could Ruoxi use three indiscriminate means to kill so many soldiers in vain.
"How's the poisoned soldier doing?"
"The poison has been cured. The doctor said that the poisoning was not deep, and it would be almost over after a day of rest. ”
That's it.
"Yangcheng's defense can't be relaxed, and patrols must be strengthened, and Nancang is likely to kill back."
After sending everyone away, Ruoxi felt a faint pain in the wounds on his body. I didn't care about killing the enemy for a while, and I didn't feel pain when I killed my red eyes, but now that I'm idle, the pain is a little stronger.
The soft armor was withdrawn, and a one-foot-long wound on his arm was still oozing blood. As soon as I wanted to apply some gold sore medicine casually, my hand was grabbed.
"I know you won't go to a military doctor to deal with it. I'll do it. ”
It's Murong Changfeng.
In the past, Changfeng also helped Ruoxi deal with his wounds, and Ruoxi handed it over to him with peace of mind.
"How's the investigation of the poisoning?"
According to what the soldiers saw, Changfeng had locked on a person, but when Changfeng arrived, the person had already forgotten about it. "Although the clue is broken, this matter is inevitably inseparable from Nancang."
"Is there any movement over there Situ Ao?"
"No, the big tents are rarely released. Are you suspicious of the right phase? Changfeng didn't understand why Ruoxi kept doubting Situ Ao. Although he was also suspicious of the emperor's sudden dispatch of a supervising army, since Situ Ao came to Yangcheng, he never asked about the affairs of the army, nor did he send any secret letters to the emperor. "Situ Aoguan worships the right minister, under one person, above ten thousand, how can it be?"
"What about his guard, can you find out the details?"
"Follow the right phase. He is the son of a servant of the Prime Minister's house. Because the right saw that he was smart, he asked him to follow Situ Shaoyun to study and practice martial arts. ”
Since he came to Yangcheng, Situ Ao has used the excuse that he is old, he is unwell after traveling long distances, and he doesn't know how to march and fight, so he has been staying in the big tent and rarely going out.
"Lihan."
Lihan was kneeling on the ground to beat Situ Ao's leg, and when he heard him shouting himself, he immediately knelt down. "Lord." Situ Ao never allowed him to call his father.
When I was a child, I was ignorant, I always cried and shouted for my father, and I had to get a beating every time; Later, I realized that these two words were always tied to pain, so I didn't dare to scream anymore; Later, I didn't have that idea, and I didn't have any extravagant hopes.
