Chapter 23: The Dangerous Beetle
It was not unreasonable for Lin Xiao to be in such a hurry to clone soldiers, and sure enough, it hadn't been a day since he cloned the soldiers, and the beetle monster moved south. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just curious that there are not many beetles going south this time, less than 20 of them.
It's just right to come less, if all of them are dispatched, the soldiers under Lin Xiao's command are afraid that they will suffer heavy losses.
He didn't dare to be careless about the small number of beetle monsters, and sent people to dig a trap in front of the city wall to prevent the beetle monsters from fighting and charging.
At present, the city wall has been repaired, and it is only 4 meters high, which is too high, and I am afraid that it has not been completed yet.
Fully prepared, Lin Xiao directly opened God's perspective and observed the beetle monster heading south.
"There's something wrong with that, they seem to be going in the southeast......"
"That's where the spatial rift is!"
Beetle monsters also eat meat, they have been here for a long time, and they are probably unable to hold on to hunger now, it seems that they want to go back and come back after filling their stomachs.
Now the antbasilis are in hatching season, and if nothing else, the beetle is also in hatching season, so that their behavior can be explained.
After all, there's nothing to eat here, and there's no reason for the bugs to stay so long.
No matter what, Lin Xiao wouldn't let the beetle monster leave, he wouldn't wait until the beetle monster was full of food and drink.
Keeping the soldiers on standby on the ramparts, he personally went to attract the hatred of the beetles.
As soon as he appeared, the beetle monsters simply ignored the other things, and all turned around and rushed towards him, and the ground trembled slightly.
Beetlemonsters are as dangerous as a bison, if not better, and they charge very fast.
If Lin Xiao hadn't been fast enough, he would have been caught up immediately and flew out again.
Lin Xiao rushed back to the city wall, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and directly ordered the long-range troops to attack!
The swarm of beetles had already encountered a trap, a few were stuck inside, and the rest had to slow down to allow the flying arrows to hit better.
A rain of arrows fell, and most of the beetles became hedgehogs, and they were not hurt much, but it also made them completely angry, and they crashed into the city wall one by one.
"Boom!"
The red brick city wall was suddenly knocked into it, a large number of red bricks were scattered, and the soldiers on the city wall also fell directly backwards because of the unstable center of gravity.
"Damn, forget the cement isn't dry yet!"
Lin Xiao's face became serious, and he ordered the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen to kill them, and the power of the sword and spear could only slightly destroy the shell of the beetle.
However, at present, the beetle monster is unable to charge, and is surrounded by outnumbered soldiers, and the other party is consumed to death.
But the beetle monster will not wait for death, with its huge body, carrying a knife and gun, it directly crashed into the crowd, and the soldiers were immediately killed and injured.
"Put the catapult for me!" Lin Xiao said coldly.
The slingers looked at each other as if they were not hurting their own people, and put the cobblestone on the catapult.
The two cobblestones flew out of the way, and the beetle's shell smashed straight into it, slumping to the ground, trying to get back on its feet.
The uncontrolled cobblestone slammed into one of the soldiers, and the surrounding soldiers seemed to be unsightly, all eyes on the beetle.
Without giving them a chance, armed with knives and guns, they attacked its injured location and limbs, destroying its body step by step.
At the cost of only 1 soldier, 1 beetle monster was eliminated, which is much stronger than before.
Lin Xiao was also trying to minimize the loss of the soldiers, and shot at the beetle monster with a gun, but the beetle monster had rough skin and thick flesh, and only killed 6 of them after all the bullets were used.
There were only 5 Beetlemonsters left, the pressure on the soldiers was much reduced, and the crossbowmen and shortbowmen also launched frequent attacks on the Beetle.
The last 5 remaining beetles were all full of arrows, and many of them fell because they broke free, leaving a dense blood hole.
With a large amount of blood loss, they collapsed to the ground and had to be slaughtered by the soldiers.
Lin Xiao didn't intend to leave their lives behind, and killed them all, which could be regarded as revenge for the more than 30 dead soldiers and more than 100 injured soldiers.
He was also a little uncomfortable with this result, and the strength of this beetle monster was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, the armor has very little effect on the beetle, they do not need to destroy the armor at all, and only need a slight bump to seriously injure the soldiers in the armor.
Not to mention its big jaws, the armor on the bodies of many dead soldiers was bitten and twisted, how could the people inside survive.
Many soldiers survived, but it is difficult to treat wounds, and the medical cabin can perfectly treat wounded soldiers, but the medicine is not enough.
At present, it is only possible to treat wounds for wounded soldiers, and it is impossible to do it like disinfection, and I don't know if it will become inflamed.
But there are no medical soldiers in the army, and this work can only rely on Lin Xiao alone.
He knew nothing about medicine, and the only disinfectants he knew were alcohol and penicillin.
How he made alcohol, penicillin has not seen much, but he knows what penicillium is, but how to purify it is unknown.
Lin Xiao first collected all the red fruit wine, and then asked the workers to fetch two ceramic pots, one large and one small, and the number was not enough to stop the work in hand and give priority to firing.
After giving this order, he began to work, which is actually distillation, which is similar to the principle of distilled water.
Pour the red fruit wine into the large pot, then put the small pot into the large pot, cover the pot and light the fire to cook.
The red fruit wine in the cauldron will form steam, which will gather upwards and become water droplets when it hits the lid and falls into the small pot when it is cold.
Putting ice cubes on the lid of the pot can speed up the formation of water droplets, and Lin Xiao specially sent someone to the freezer to get a lot of ice cubes.
The distillation is very fast, and in a short time you get a lot of purer red fruit wines, and the alcohol concentration in them is also higher.
Further purification requires precise control of the heat, distillation, complete separation of water from alcohol, or pouring lime into the distilled red wine.
Lin Xiao didn't waste time, purified to a high concentration of alcohol and disinfected the soldiers, and only after doing this did he feel relieved.
He quickly handed over the matter of refining alcohol to the workers, and they were still able to do this kind of thing that did not require technical content.
After a few days, many soldiers were getting better, and those who were too injured were treated and unfortunately died, and only a few were inflamed.
can save most people, Lin Xiao still feels that it is not enough, if there is penicillin, it is estimated that more people can be saved.
However, penicillin cannot be produced overnight, and it is difficult not only to purify, but also to cultivate.
Lin Xiao sent people to look for Penicillium, and deliberately let the food rot, but there was still no trace of Penicillium.
He was not too discouraged, and he did not hang himself on the penicillin tree, and sent people to search for herbs and try to fill in the gaps in the medicine.
For a few days, the herbs were not found, but there was movement on the beetle's side.
The same kind they sent out has not returned for a long time, and the beetle monsters, which were already starving, have a vague tendency to return to the insect star in general.
