Chapter 923: Attack
After taking the strongest ewe with him, Sadiq sent the ewe to the room of the eight elders as instructed.
He glanced at the ewe with pitiful eyes, and was about to leave, when the Eighth Elder suddenly spoke, "You stay and help me." ”
"Me?" Sadiq was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head violently, and said again and again: "I can't help you with this......"
Click.
The Eighth Elder simply broke the neck of the ewe and said, "Help me find a copper basin." ”
Sadiq was stunned again, and then realized that he had just thought wrong, and walked out in shame, and soon took a copper basin in.
The Eighth Elder first poured a few glasses of water into the copper basin, then took out some bottles and jars from his arms, and poured the powder and liquid of various colors into the copper basin, and the water in the copper basin quickly turned jet black and emitted a fishy smell.
Sadiq covered his mouth and nose, a little unclear.
At this time, I saw the Eighth Elder take out a wooden box from his sleeve, open the wooden box, and take out an unknown insect in the box.
He glanced at the insect in his hand with some distress and threw it into the copper basin.
The insect was lying motionless in the palm of his hand, but after entering the copper basin, it suddenly became active, and its stomach bulged one after another, as if it was drinking black water from the copper basin.
The eight elders took out a few more wooden boxes one after another, took out the various poisonous insects in the boxes, and concocted them in the same way, and after a while, the black water in the copper basin became much lighter in color.
Looking at the body lying motionless in the basin, the color on his body seemed to be a heavier poisonous insect, and the flesh pain on the face of the Eighth Elder became even stronger.
He took out a dagger and cut a wound on the dead sheep's leg.
After the blood seeped out of the leg of the mutton, the poisonous insect lying motionless in the copper basin suddenly seemed to have come to the spirit, and quickly crawled towards the carcass of the sheep, and soon got into the wound.
Watching this scene, Sadiq's scalp was numb, and he wanted to apply oil to the soles of his feet, and immediately left this strange place.
However, the eyes of the Eighth Elder looked at him and spoke again, "Find two people to bury this sheep ten zhang outside the city gate, the pit is half a zhang deep, and cover the ...... with sand, remember, these two people must not have wounds on their bodies, let alone see blood." ”
"What if they have wounds on them?" What happened tonight made his heart confused and frightened, and Sadiq asked the gods.
"Wounds?" The Eighth Elder glanced at the dead sheep on the ground and smiled evilly at him.
A chill rushed from his spine to his head, and Sadiq couldn't help but shiver, and immediately said, "I'm going to find someone!" ”
In the darkness of the night, two figures carrying a huge cloth bag came to the outside of the city gate.
Ten zhang away from the gate of the city gate of the country of Wu Greed, a large pit half a zhang deep had been dug, and the two of them threw the cloth bag into the pit and filled it with yellow sand.
They then pulled a rope out of the pit and up to the wall.
After doing all this, they looked at Sadiq behind them and asked curiously, "Chief, what are we doing all this?" ”
Sadiq glared at them and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let you do it, you will do it, this is the order of the lord of the country." ”
After being reprimanded, the two of them didn't ask anymore, but they were inevitably a little nervous when they thought that the enemy was coming.
One of them had a worried look on his face and said, "Chief, do you think they can move in to rescue the soldiers?" ”
Sadiq shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
No one knows what the outcome will be when it comes to the rise or fall of a country, and even if those countries are afraid of the number of horse thieves and refuse to rescue the country, he is not surprised at all.
The other had a frightened expression on his face and said, "Why don't we run, it's still too late to run......"
"Confused!" Sadiq glared at him and said, "Stay in the city, we still have a chance to live, if we leave here and are caught up by horse thieves in the desert, all of us will die!" ”
The man had a look of despair on his face and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but my Aji is only three years old......"
Sadiq took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, the lord of the kingdom will definitely have a way!" ”
After experiencing the initial fear, he gradually calmed down, especially when he thought that in the face of so many horse thieves, the lord of the country did not show a timid or fearful expression from beginning to end, and his heart was more stable.
Anyone who encounters such a threat to his life does not want to leave them and run away, but to stay here, either because he wants to die, or he does not take those horse thieves seriously at all.
Although he had only been in contact with the lord for a few hours, Sadiq was certain that he was by no means the first person.
A look of determination appeared on his face, and he said, "I hope they can bring the rescuers back......
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the people of the country.
The state power has just been overthrown, and they have learned that the big wave of horse thieves have targeted them and will attack the city in a few days, who else has the heart to sleep?
The long night was very difficult, and tonight, the people of the country of Wu also discovered something special.
After nightfall, a large number of poisonous insects, poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, spiders, and centipedes suddenly came out of the cracks and soil holes in the city......
There are a lot of poisonous insects in the desert, and they are very poisonous, ordinary poisonous scorpions sting people, it will hurt for a few days, if you are bitten or stung by those poisonous poisonous insects, you will lose your life.
There are not a few people who die in the desert every year because of this.
After these poisonous insects came out of the nest, the people immediately became nervous and told their children not to walk around, because the poison of these poisons was not a joke.
Unexpectedly, these poisonous insects did not hurt people this time, but ran out of the city one after another, as if there was something in the city that they were afraid of, or something outside the city, which had a great attraction to them......
Half an hour later, there was no more poisonous insect in the city, and the people of the country were embarrassed when they saw this, could it be that these poisonous insects also knew that the black greedy country was about to encounter great disaster, so they fled first?
Compared with the upcoming national disaster, the matter of poisonous insects was quickly forgotten by everyone.
On the second day, the news came back from the outside, but their already uneasy hearts completely fell into the bottomless abyss.
Huhu, the commander of the Che Division, robbed the country, and the Che Shi Houcheng, refused to provide assistance to the Uzbetian country, and the people sent by Sadiq to ask for help returned in vain.
As the news came one by one, a kind of panic and anger began to spread in the country.
In the palace, Sadiq looked at Tang Ning with a pale face, and said: "Except for the old man and the children, Wu Greedy and Shan Huan can only dispatch two hundred people......
Two hundred, against fifteen hundred fierce horse thieves, almost the result of the total annihilation of the army.
Tang Ning can understand the approach of these small countries of Huhu, first, the population of these small countries in the Western Regions is not large, a country like Huhu, if the army is all out, a few ordinary horse thieves can slaughter their country, and the other countries are not much worse than them.
From the standpoint of their own country, it is safest to stand still.
In order to deal with the black greed, the horse thieves in this area have all been gathered, although the black greedy is not the opponent of these horse thieves alliance, but these horse thieves want to slaughter the black greed, and they have to pay a great price.
At that time, they will no longer have the strength to attack these small countries like Huhu, which will be more beneficial to these countries.
As for the Wu Greedy Country, it has nothing to do with them anyway, in a place like the Western Regions, it is extremely difficult to keep themselves, and not many people will care about other people's affairs.
"Since they don't want reinforcements, let's prepare to meet the enemy." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Send someone to strengthen the patrol nearby, and report it as soon as there is any movement nearby......"
Although Sadiq's face was pale, there was still a trace of calmness in the depths of his eyes, and he said, "My subordinates will arrange ...... immediately."
When the atmosphere in the country became more tense, several small countries in the surrounding areas also panicked.
Fox Hu Country.
The Lord of the Fox Hu Kingdom looked at an old man and asked, "Why don't we go and reinforce Wu Greed?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "We Fox Hu is the smallest country around, if all the guards are dispatched, who will protect the people of Fox Hu, without the guards, as long as ten horse thieves, we can kill all our people......"
The Fox Hu Country Lord showed a trace of worry on his face and asked, "What should ......I do about the black greed?"
"Even with the help of Fox Hu, Wu Greedy is not the opponent of those horse thieves, they go, they may die on the battlefield, and when the time comes, Fox Hu's situation will be even more dangerous......"
When the Lord of the Fox Hu Kingdom heard this, he sighed and stopped talking.
After all, he is the lord of the country of Huhu, not the king of the greedy people, and as the lord of the country, he needs to be responsible for the people of Huhu.
At the same time, the Che Shi Wei Du, robbed the country, and the people in the city behind the Che Shi were also panicked.
Since the chaos in the Western Regions, the horse thieves actually dared to attack them, the countries of the Western Regions, Shan Heng and Wu Greed is just the beginning, after the destruction of Wu Greed, those horse thieves will definitely transfer the target to them.
It is foreseeable that in the next few days, if they do nothing, they will be like some small countries in history, and with the passage of time, they will permanently disappear into the yellow sand of the desert.
As for the reinforcement of Ukraine, after discussing with the lords and ministers of several countries, they naturally refused.
These small countries and widowed countries cannot withstand casualties at all, and it is impossible for them to put their own countries into it for the sake of greed.
In the face of these horse thieves, whether the black greedy can survive depends on their own creation.
……
Although the other countries were not ready to reinforce them, Tang Ning did not count on them.
After all, even if he gathered the strength of several countries and confronted these horse thieves, he would kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and there were few people under him who could not die at the hands of these horse thieves.
He asked several elders to coat the warrior's bows and arrows with poison, although it was not fatal, but if there was a slight bruise, it would also make the poisoned horse thief lose his combat effectiveness.
In addition, where the city wall is weak, Tang Ning has also asked them to strengthen it. The walls of Wu Greedy are far from being compared to Chen Guo's, but something is better than nothing, and there is an obstacle here, so that they will not be naked to the attack of horse thieves.
This time, Tang Ning's reliance was on the six elders, and the task of the old beggar was to protect Tang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao.
Although there were only two gates, Tang Ning still had Sadiq slaughter four sheep just in case, and after being dealt with by the eight elders, they were buried in four directions of the city wall.
Moreover, within a hundred feet of the city, the people dug many holes in the earth, and made simple traps, which could not do what the thieves did, but could break their legs.
The people of the country are ready for a big war, the atmosphere in the city is tense, and it is about to erupt, and the people of Shan Hengguo who still have the combat strength have also joined the ranks of guarding their new homes.
On the city wall, Lao Zheng stood beside Tang Ning and said slowly: "It's here." ”
Tang Ning looked ahead, looked far away, and saw a cloud of smoke and dust appear in the distance.
It was the dust splashed by countless horses running on the desert, Tang Ning thought that these horse thieves would choose to sneak attack at night, but he didn't expect them to be so bold that they would dare to blatantly destroy the country during the day.
Lao Zheng glanced at the billowing smoke and dust, and said, "There are at least two thousand of them. ”
Sadiq looked at the archers on the city wall with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Enemy attack, everyone, pay attention to vigilance!" ”
The horse thieves roared and galloped all the way, faster than Downing had imagined.
This kind of unscrupulous aggression is simply arrogant and arrogant to the extreme, and it also shows that they do not take the country in their eyes at all.
In fact, these horse thieves did not have a small country of less than 200 troops in mind.
Their ruined walls will be crushed without any suspense, and the difference in numbers will be ten times that will allow them to slaughter the people of the country and rob them of their treasures and women.
When the horse thieves came into range of the bow and arrows, more than 200 people fired their arrows in unison, and after a rain of arrows fell in the air, dozens of horse thieves tumbled off their horses, twitched twice and did not move.
Among these people, only a few were killed by the arrow, and the rest were only slightly injured by the arrow, but the poison on the arrow could make them directly lose their combat effectiveness.
These horse thieves have joined forces with great fanfare this time, and the rumors have already been released, knowing that the country will definitely be prepared, but they don't care about it.
Although everyone in the country is a soldier, the number of their people is too small, and the Cheshi and other countries have not increased their troops to assist them, to deal with these two hundred or so people, they don't even need to attack in the middle of the night, frontal impact, to defeat this poor small country.
For the initiative of the Wu Greedy Country, so that they lost so many people in front of them, several horse thief leaders were shocked and angry, looked at the low city wall in front of them, and said sharply: "Rush in and kill them all!" ”
When the thieves heard this, they clamped their horses' bellies and accelerated their charges.
However, before they could reach the city wall, many of the horses under the horse thieves stepped on the stumbling trap, and immediately lost their hooves, fell to the ground, and fell on their backs with the horse thieves.
"Dismount!"
"Dismount!"
……
The horse thieves were well prepared, and when they found a trap on the ground, they immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked on foot towards the city.
The rain of arrows continued, but because the horse thieves were on guard, the effect was not great, and by the time all the arrows were fired, less than one percent of the horse thieves had been solved.
With two hundred men, the two thousand horse thieves were able to defeat the enemy of their equal number before they approached the wall, which was enough to be proud of.
However, the remaining horse thieves are still something they can't resist, and once the horse thieves break through the city, today is the day of the destruction of the country.
Tang Ning turned his head to look and found that the black greedy guards around him were all holding their weapons tightly, and their faces showed grief and determination.
Tang Ning naturally couldn't really wait for the horse thief to rush up, looked at the Eighth Elder, and asked, "Almost, right?" ”
The Eighth Elder nodded, picked up a thick straw rope from under his feet, and tugged at it violently.
Outside the city walls, on a sandy field, something was suddenly dragged out.
It was a sheep carcass, exposed to the air, emitting a foul smell that made people dizzy.
One of the horse thieves almost vomited and exclaimed, "What! ”
Another horse thief stepped forward to look at it and said, "A dead sheep." ”
The leader of the horse thieves waved his hand and said, "You, go over, keep it farther away!" ”
The horse thief let out a dark sigh, pinched his nose and stepped forward, ready to throw the carcass of the sheep into the corner.
However, he had just taken two steps when suddenly many worms crawled out of the dead sheep's body.
After the insects turned black and broke out of the sheep carcass, a stronger fishy smell suddenly spread, and more than a dozen horse thieves who were nearby vomited immediately, and then they felt weak, and even the weapons in their hands could not be held steadily.
The leader of the horse thieves kicked the horse thief in the ass fiercely, and said angrily, "What have you done! ”
The thief threw himself to the ground, and he was about to get up from the ground, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and when he looked over, he saw a sand scorpion crawling over his arm.
The sand scorpion is a poisonous insect that lives in the desert, and its poison is very violent, and the pain in his arm makes him can't help but roar.
However, at this time, there was a sudden rustling sound in his ears.
He turned his head to look around, his body trembling, and his face turned pale.
I saw that under the sand around them, countless poisonous insects suddenly crawled out, including scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and poisonous snakes.
The number of these poisonous insects is very large and dense, which makes people shudder at a glance.
Not only that, but more black spots appeared on the sand in the distance, which were rapidly gathering towards this side.
These poisonous insects are numerous and manic, and when they encounter people, they crawl up their legs.
"Go away, go away!"
"Ah, I was bitten by a snake!"
"I was stung by a black scorpion, help me, help me!"
……
The horse thieves who were about to rush into the city and kill people just now began to scream in horror one by one, and they jumped and jumped in place, trying to avoid the poisonous insects on the ground, but because there were too many poisonous insects, they accidentally trampled to death a lot, but they were also bitten by others.
These horse thieves have long forgotten that they are going to slaughter and loot the country of Wu today, the poisonous insects of the desert are extremely poisonous, and they are stung and bitten, not to mention the pain, and even more serious, even their lives will be lost.
The people of the country stood on the city wall, looking at the horse thieves who were in chaos under the city wall, and they were so shocked that they even forgot their fear for a while......
