Chapter 322: Luohui Country's Envoy's Scheme
In the blink of an eye, Ji Qiang had been at the border for half a month.
The battle was very fierce, and when the army led by Ji Yuanxun arrived, the city gate was almost breached, and the outside had been blocked by the army of the Luohui Kingdom.
After Ji Yuanxun arrived, he first replaced the tired soldiers defending the city, and then discussed the battle situation with the officers.
The two armies have fought no less than ten times in the past half a month, and because of the reinforcements on the side of the Chenguo, it can still be on par with the Luohui country.
However, before Ji Yuanxun arrived, the consumption of the border cities of Chen Kingdom was already too great.
Compared with the well-prepared army of the Luohui Kingdom, it is inevitable that some attention will have to be divided to make up for the various hidden dangers left before.
Therefore, the longer the timeline of the war is extended, it will not be beneficial to Chenguo.
In the last few wars, the checkpoint defending the city was almost broken by the army of the Luohui Kingdom.
Ji Yuanxun made a quick decision, and let all the people who remained in the border city move to the rear, leaving only heavy troops to fight with the Luohui Kingdom.
At the same time, the vast majority of the forces are put on defense, and the defense of the city is constantly strengthened.
The border city was cordoned off, and archers stood on the walls all day long, shooting anyone who came by.
Such a move made the Luohui country a lot more cautious, and the frequency of attacks began to decrease.
However, the situation is still very serious, and every move of Luohui Kingdom is more prepared and more difficult to deal with.
It is more difficult to defend a city than to attack it, because the initiative is not in your own hands.
Ji Yuanxun has experienced so many wars, and his judgment of the situation has always been very accurate. He knew that the Luohui Kingdom was menacing this time, and if this city was breached, the Chen Kingdom would be ruined at that time.
Because of this, Ji Yuanxun and the officers sometimes discussed all night, but they were no longer able to force the fierce offensive of Luohui Kingdom back, and his helplessness made Ji Qiang very heartbroken.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and the old emperor in the rear sent secret letters one after another, expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Luohui Kingdom will soon break through the level, which makes Ji Qiang quite uneasy in his heart.
She had long known that this battle was extremely dangerous, but when she came here, she found that she couldn't find any breakthrough at all, so she could only do it in a hurry.
It was late at night, Ji Qiang studied the battle situation for a long time, but to no avail, blew out the candle and lay on the bed tiredly.
However, there was some noise outside the window at this time, and Ji Qiang opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a figure just passing in front of her window.
At this point in time, except for the night watchmen, it is no longer possible for anyone to walk around the city at will.
And Ji Qiang is very familiar with the pace of soldiers, Fang Cai's figure is obviously a little flustered, Ji Qiang can't imagine who will travel in the middle of the night.
Ji Qiang suddenly became alert in her heart, stood up and put on her clothes, she cautiously lightened her steps, and followed the direction of Fang Cai's figure all the way.
The figure seemed extremely sneaky at night, and its steps were not very fast, and it was always looking around very carefully.
Ji Qiang knew that something must be wrong with this, so she followed behind the figure, and finally found that the figure stopped in front of the well where she drank water on weekdays, not knowing what she was doing. 16
Ji Qiang took two more steps carefully, and found that the figure's kung fu should not be high, and she didn't notice her movement, so she took two steps forward and observed her in the dark.
After getting closer, Ji Qiang saw clearly that this was actually a military prostitute.
Ji Qiang's heart was raised, the army was heavily guarded, and there was a rule that military prostitutes were not allowed to move around at will, and military prostitutes almost only stayed in a courtyard.
However, this military prostitute was able to escape the sight of so many people and came all the way to the well.
If she hadn't slept late and happened to hear the noise, she might not have known that the city's guards were so overlooked.
And the military prostitute did not know that he was wearing one of the officer's robes, and his hair was half-covered and he could not see his face clearly, and at this time he was taking something out of his sleeve and throwing it into it tremblingly.
Ji Qiang was shocked, and when she went up and grabbed the military prostitute's hand, she fainted from behind.
There was still some powder left in the hands of the military prostitute, Ji Qiang put it under her nose and sniffed it, and judged that it was a large dose of poison.
Because of the location of this well, it is used by ordinary soldiers to draw water and drink water on weekdays, and once it is sprinkled into the well, it will soon attack, and the whole army will be afraid that it will be hit by the attack!
Ji Qiang didn't know if this military prostitute was the first time to do this kind of thing, so she went to Ji Yuanxun to explain the matter.
"Once this poison goes down, I'm afraid that all the people will fall, and if the army of the Falling Glory Kingdom comes to attack at that time, the situation in our border city will be dangerous."
Ji Yuanxun's face was solemn, and he quickly called all his subordinates over. "Let people be instructed not to drink the water from the well, because the well that drinks water on weekdays may have been poisoned."
Ji Yuanxun ordered, and soon a few of his own soldiers were ordered to go out and deliver the news to the barracks.
However, Ji Yuanxun still felt that something was wrong, and this military prostitute was able to avoid everyone and run to the well to poison without knowing it.
However, there is not only one well in the city, and although Ji Qiang caught the poisoner, it is impossible to judge whether the other wells have also been poisoned.
At this time, the father and daughter could only wait anxiously for the news, hoping that Ji Qiang found out in time, and there would be a chance to remedy it.
The accompanying military doctor took the powder that Ji Qiang snatched from the military prostitute, and nodded affirmatively: "This poison is extremely powerful, colorless and tasteless when exposed to water, and the result is unimaginable if you drink it." ”
Soon the messenger returned, however, with a very unpleasant face.
"General! Now that many people have been recruited, our news is still a step late. As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qiang and Ji Yuanxun walked out.
At this time, where the army was stationed, almost all of them turned pale.
The light one squatted on the ground and vomited and diarrhea, while the heavy one had already fainted on the ground, obviously having been hit on a large scale.
Ji Qiang took two steps forward and carefully observed the condition of a soldier who was close to him.
"When do you get the water you drink at night?" Ji Qiang asked.
The soldier she asked was in a pretty good condition at this time, and he could barely stay awake: "Generally, I only fetch water once a day, and I am mostly free at night when I hand over the water." ”
Ji Qiang's face was solemn, and she was afraid that the military prostitute she had caught was not the only one who poisoned her.
Luohui Kingdom was able to stretch out his hand to the city, and there was more than one person, Ji Qiang and Ji Yuanxun glanced at each other, looking at the situation in front of them, and only felt that something was wrong.
