Chapter 1224 - Clean Water

If you want to destroy a man, you must first make him mad.

Xia Hongsheng felt that he was about to go crazy.

Countless poisonous white smoke lingered in the army of Great Food. In the meantime, there were occasional flashes of green flames, but I felt that this scene was a bit fantastical.

If it weren't for the violent coughing and terrifying screams, no one would have imagined that the white smoke had become a hell on earth.

Instead of feeling guilty, he felt a trace of inexplicable pleasure.

The epidemic spread among the Great Food Army made those Great Food Eaters have no strength to resist, and they can't even run. Even if you are choked by the puffs of white smoke and can't breathe, it is difficult to run out of those white smokes. It's not that I don't want to run, it's that my legs are so weak that I can't hold them up.

Diarrhoea, dehydration, severe loss of electrolytes, these alone are enough to destroy their bodies.

The dark green flames seemed to come from Hell without warning, and they suddenly burst into flames. And no matter how you beat it, the more you beat it, the more intense it burns, releasing extremely choking white smoke, and after burning the skin and flesh, you don't stop, you drill into it vigorously, drill into the bones, and still continue to burn, even if the bones have been burned into black charcoal, the green fire is not extinguished.

"Go, and tell the people of the city what you have seen with your own eyes. Those people outside went against the will of the true god, and the Tang army was sent by the true god to rescue the people of Dashi, and the residents of Tabuk City were already protected by the Tang army, so they were blessed by the true god. However, they besieged the Tang army, besieged the city of Tabuk, and put the people in the city of Tabuk who were protected by the Tang army into danger, that is, they disobeyed the orders of the true god and attacked the army sent by the true god to protect the people of the great eater, which was even more disrespectful to the true god. Now they are being burned by the fire of the devil that God has summoned from Hellfire, and this is Allah's punishment for them. Xia Hongsheng turned his head and said to a group of big cannibals on the city wall who were already trembling.

Where else could there be a poisonous smoke and a green flame that swelled on the tarsal bones?

At this moment, a deep fear enveloped those big cannibals on the city wall, and they no longer dared to doubt it.

went down to the city wall and returned to the camp, and it didn't take long for Su Dingfang to find him.

"The chief manager, the last general asks for his life, and he is willing to lead two thousand elite horsemen out of the city, and take advantage of the chaos in the Great Food Army, or he can break them up!" As soon as Su Dingfang entered the camp, he said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "No." Stay in the city and wait for reinforcements. ”

"Why not!" Su Dingfang was surprised: "The Great Food Soldier is now unable to fight due to the epidemic, and he was attacked by that Bai Shizi, and suffered heavy casualties. If you don't take advantage of this time to wash it away, what are you waiting for?! ”

"The smoke released after the burning of white phosphorus is highly poisonous, and it is not dispersed at the moment, if you lead the troops to rush in, won't the Tang soldiers also inhale those smoke and be poisoned?" Xia Hongsheng said: "Those poisonous smokes are very toxic, even if they are not poisoned for the time being, they will get a serious illness after they come back, and they will inevitably die." ”

Su Dingfang wanted to say something, but was blocked by Xia Hongsheng with a wave of his hand, and listened to Xia Hongsheng again: "Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui are outside, although I have sent someone to inform them not to get close to the Great Food Army recently, it can be seen that there is a big chaos in the Great Food Army, and it is inevitable that someone will take the risk of harassing them." However, they have been broken into pieces, and the army is not in one place, so it is not a big problem. However, the soldiers and people in the city are too concentrated, but they cannot take risks, and they will disrupt the morale of the army. At present, the epidemic of Great Eclipse will not come to attack the city again in the near future. We've been holding out for nearly five months, and reinforcements are definitely coming. ”

"I can't wait!" Su Dingfang slapped his leg: "Even if the food is gone, we can still hold on, but there is no water!" The river water has been soaked in dead bodies, and they can't drink anymore, and there is no water, and this place is so hot, how many days can it last?! ”

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at Su Dingfang and said: "Compared with those big eaters outside, the river in the city is upstream, but it is not the source!" Why don't you think I threw away the charcoal firewood when I burned the sand?! I let the water be stored for five days because there was no carbon to filter the water during those five days! Save enough water for five days, and then you can filter the water to drink! ”

"Carbon?" Su Dingfang was stunned: "Carbon can solve the corpse poison in the water?" ”

Xia Hongsheng said: "Send someone to dig a ditch upstream of the place where the dead body is soaked, and draw the water upstream to get water." After taking the water, wrap the carbon in a linen cloth and place it at the mouth of the barrel, slowly pour the water from the top, filter the carbon, and then boil it over high heat, and then let it cool to drink, you can avoid poisoning. ”

"Is there really such a way?!" Su Dingfang was overjoyed.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Naturally, it's true." However, it must be remembered that, firstly, it must be the water upstream of the place where the corpse is bathed, and the farther away the better. Second, it must be carefully filtered with carbon shavings, at least twice. Third, it must be boiled. ”

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Su Dingfang clapped his hands again and again: "This is good!" Damn, Lao Su went to do it and get some water to drink, and he was so thirsty that Lao Su was dizzy! By the way, do they know about this Fa'er Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui? ”

"I've taught them all the special combat forces around them." Xia Hongsheng said: "The people we sent out told them that the water in the river was not drinkable, and they would be able to guess that I had tampered with the river and would go to other places to find water to drink." ”

"Good! Then Lao Su went to get water here! Su Dingfang said excitedly.

"Wait, I'm with you." Xia Hongsheng called him, went out of the camp with Su Dingfang, called out some of the soldiers who had been rotated, and went to the river.

The river flows from northeast to southwest, and in order to avoid being discovered by the big cannibals outside, the place where the corpses are soaked is biased to the northeast. The people went up the river, but they didn't think it smelled bad. When the carcasses of the animals were soaked in the water, they were netted with ropes and then attached to boulders to sink to the bottom to prevent them from floating on the surface of the river, so they could not be seen.

They went all the way to the northeastern corner of the city where the river flowed into the city, where it was barricaded by an iron fence and guarded by the enemy, so that the enemy would not sneak into the city from there.

Xia Hongsheng ordered his own soldiers to bring a few buckets of water, filter the water with carbon several times, and then put it on the fire to boil.

Xia Hongsheng looked left and right, casually pointed to a lieutenant, and said, "You still have tea bricks with you?" ”

The lieutenant nodded hurriedly, ran away for a while, and soon brought a tea brick.

Xia Hongsheng crushed some from the top, put it in the cup, made it on the ground in front of those soldiers, made tea with the boiling water, and then smiled at Su Dingfang: "Brother Dingfang, you and I should drink a pot?" ”

Su Dingfang laughed, sat on the ground, and the two drank the tea.

After drinking a pot, Xia Hongsheng got up and said with a light smile to the soldiers around him: "You don't have to worry about running out of water. According to the method of the book, first take the water upstream, filter it with carbon shavings a few times, and then boil it with fire before drinking, so that the corpse poison will not be hit. Besides, there is good news for you, reinforcements have arrived on the shore and are on their way to the city of Tabuk. It won't be long before we can join forces with reinforcements to flank and annihilate all those Great Food Eaters outside! ”

The surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers. 8)
