222. Poison gas

In ancient warfare, it was not uncommon to use the direction of the wind to achieve victory, but it was rare for someone like Zhang Jing to use not only the direction of the wind but also poison gas against the enemy. In those days, people did not have the concept www.biquge.info of gas warfare, and Zhang Jing also had a flash of inspiration in the process of preparing poison and thought of this method of poisoning. Today, the northeast wind happened to blow, and the direction of the wind was very favorable to his side, and seeing that the coalition forces were losing and retreating under the counterattack of the Blackwater Army, he decided to give it a try.

Immediately find someone to light dozens of fires along the battle line, and then throw the prepared poison into it, in the crackling sound, the burning poison emitted dark red billowing smoke, and then it was blown by the strong wind, and suddenly floated overwhelmingly in the direction of the Black Water Army.

The poisonous gas did not distinguish between friend and foe, and those who inhaled it suddenly felt a hot burning in their chests, followed by symptoms of dizziness and nausea and vomiting, and a large number of soldiers who were originally fighting staggered to the ground, and the poisonous mist swept through, and nine out of ten people fell!

"You don't have to worry about your subordinates, the poisonous mist of Poor Dao is not fatal, and Poor Dao has ordered someone to prepare an antidote, as long as you take the antidote to our people afterwards, it will be cured in less than half a day." Faced with the doubts of other leaders, Zhang Jing explained.

But the Blackwater Army had no antidote, and the soldiers could only rely on their own will to hold on. Xiong Zhuang was almost vomiting his stomach with an iron rod, he raised his pale face and scolded: "Dog thing...... Vomit...... I can't spare you! Vomit! ”

Xiong Wei's condition is not bad, when he found the abnormality, he immediately tore off a strip of cloth to cover his mouth and nose, but he still inhaled some poisonous gas, and he is still a little dizzy. He looked around, and the brothers around him were swaying one by one, their faces were pale, and they had obviously reached their limit. When he heard the enemy's war drums beating again, he knew in his heart that he had to withdraw his troops, otherwise it would be a complete defeat.

"Big brother! Hurry up and collect your troops! Lan Xiangyu's hurried hoarse shout came from his ears, Xiong Wei glanced at the enemy camp unwillingly, and shouted: "Mingjin withdraws the troops!" ”

……

"Although the poison in the second village master and the other brothers is not fatal, the old man can't be sure what kind of poison he has, and there is a lack of medicine in our Heishui Village, even if we know it, we can't prepare an antidote...... Alas, the owner of the village, the old man is really powerless......" An old man in his seventies looked embarrassed and shook his head slightly.

Xiong Wei sighed lowly, this elder Gao is the best doctor in Heishui Village, if even he doesn't know how to detoxify, then let alone others. After sending off Lao Langzhong, Xiong Wei stood beside the bed and looked at his younger brother who was sleeping on the bed, with a sad look on his face.

In the battle a few days ago, Xiong Wei was originally victorious, but he didn't expect that the well actually used poisonous smoke to deal with them, although not many people were poisoned, but most of them were like Xiong Zhuang who was lying in bed and fell asleep, lost his ability to fight, and now there are less than 2,000 people who can still take up arms to fight! How can this defeat the tens of thousands of Shijing coalition troops surrounding the Blackwater Village?

Walking out of the room, Xiong Wei came to the lobby. In the empty lobby, a woman was standing at a desk staring at the map, frowning, occasionally holding a pen and writing something on a piece of paper, but then she seemed not satisfied, and threw it aside in a clump of irritation. Xiong Wei came to her side and patted her thin shoulder, and said, "Brother and sister, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, go and take a rest." ”

Lan Xiangyu shook her head, her throat had not recovered because of the poisonous gas inhaled, and she was still very hoarse when she spoke: "Time waits for no one, judging from the current situation, we can hold out for three days at most, and the enemy army will break through our cottage after three days...... I don't want to see that! She never took her eyes off the map, "I have to come up with a countermeasure now, which can not only protect the safety of Heishui Village, but also repel the enemy's attack......"

Xiong Wei sighed and said, "That's impossible!" As you know, we don't know the situation now, but I'm afraid it won't last long. Big brother, I've already thought about it, tomorrow you leave from the water hole behind the cottage, and I'll figure out a way here......" Lan Xiangyu interrupted him: "No! There must be a way! If the husband is here now, he will definitely come up with a way, he is so smart, he must have a way to save the cottage! Xiong Wei shook his head slightly: "Brother and sister, the third brother is long gone, why do you always remember and torture yourself?" ”

Lan Xiangyu turned her head suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears, she had always been strong and rarely shed tears in front of outsiders, but this time she cried after listening to Xiong Wei's words.

Xiong Wei was also slightly stunned, he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to say. I heard Lan Xiangyu choke up: "He won't die, I can feel it, he's still alive!" Big brother, I know that you are all for my good and don't want me to live in the memories of the past, but I know that in my heart, my mind is his shadow, which can never be erased or forgotten! ”

Letting the tears flow down her cheeks, Lan Xiangyu sobbed and said, "Although his whereabouts are unknown now, I am his wife, and I have the responsibility to protect his family and friends!" Big brother, you and second brother are his good friends, Liu Banxian and Hu Meng, they are all his family, I have to protect all of you, and when he comes back, I can smile and say to him: 'Husband, look, I have good protection for your friends and family!' She wiped away her tears and her eyes became firm, "I won't let you be hurt, this is my promise to my husband!" ”

Xiong Wei looked at the petite and thin woman in front of him, and felt a little guilty in addition to admiration, he was a dignified man, and he actually let a woman say words to protect herself, what a shame. Sweeping away the previous lowness, Xiong Wei puffed up his chest: "Brother and sister!" You're right, the third brother won't die, and our stockade won't be breached by the enemy! Big brother will definitely find a way to keep the village and repel the enemy! ”

Lan Xiangyu smiled a little after listening to Xiong Wei's words, but the problem in front of them was still unsolved.

……

As dusk approached, the offensive of the Ishii coalition forces finally stopped, and the gables made of wood and stone were already in a dilapidated state, and the dead bodies were everywhere inside and outside the walls. Although the coalition forces stormed Heishui Village for three consecutive days, they still could not effectively break through the defense of the gable, even if they broke through a certain gable, they would be desperately blocked by the soldiers of Heishui Village, and the two sides would have a large number of casualties in the competition.

Xiong Wei, Lan Xiangyu and other generals kept running behind the gable, they commanded the battle, boosted morale, and even went into battle to fight the enemy in person, which was able to stabilize the situation in front of them. But everyone knew in their hearts that Heishui Village couldn't last long......

The issue of continuing to hold on or forcibly breaking through was finally put on the table, and everyone's opinions were different, but most people's opinions were inclined to forcibly break through, although Lan Xiangyu and a few others strongly opposed it, Xiong Wei considered the safety of Lan Xiangyu and others, and his heart had begun to waver.

At this moment, someone outside the lobby announced: Someone asked to see the owner of the bear village! Everyone was slightly surprised, not to mention that there were still people visiting at such a late hour, just saying that the outside of Heishui Village had been surrounded by the Shijing coalition army, how did this person get in?

Xiong Wei suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Please!" Then I saw a petite figure walking in slowly from outside the lobby, Lan Xiangyu looked through the light, her eyes widened, she ran to the person quickly, hugged her, and cried: "Sister! It's you! You're alive! ”

Ding Yueming also smiled with tears in her eyes: "Sister Lan, I miss you so much!" ”
