Chapter 599: The City is Broken
Not only that, but even the charcoal and firewood used to burn the stove were drenched by the rain, and in a short period of time, I didn't want to use these big oil pans again.
A large amount of gold juice, washed away by the rain, overflowed from the pot, and flowed everywhere in the city, and a foul smell suddenly came out.
To be honest, the taste of this thing is very disgusting, even those rough men feel that stomach acid is lingering in their throats, not to mention Wu Wending, a scholar, the pungent smell makes his stomach twitch for a while.
His face couldn't show anything unusual, so many people were watching, he had to maintain his unfazed demeanor.
"Quick, go get on the log. "Since the gold juice and tung oil are no longer available, we can only use rolling wood. However, when he is free, Wu Wending is reluctant to use rolling wood. It's much harder to get Logs than it is to get Golden Juice. Someone had to go to the mountains and find a tree of the right size, and someone had to bring it to the city. Because of time, the rolling wood in Ji'an City was left from the past, and no new ones were prepared.
The top log in the storeroom was quickly lifted, and when the men grabbed it hard, they realized that something was not right. This rolling log is too light, don't look at such a big one, one person can lift it with a little strength.
"Isn't it, let the worms beetle?" One of the military attachés, looking at this rolling log, muttered in his mouth, and his heart was in a mess, everyone outside was attacking the city, but you even let the insects bite the rolling wood, which is basically no way to live.
He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to put a slight force on the rolling log, which originally looked quite sturdy, but was actually broken off by him, and the wood was covered with layers of wormholes, which was very disgusting to look at, which made everyone who saw it look like dead ashes. How can these rolling logs kill people?
"Quick, check the rest of the logs and get all the good logs out. The military attache also quickly woke up from his trance, and hurriedly commanded. And in his heart, in fact, there is not much hope. The logs were piled up on top of each other, one was insected, and the rest were basically spared.
Sure enough, after the rest of the rolling logs were turned out, they were all bitten by insects, and none of the dozens of rolling logs could be used.
"Hey, who is this official guarding the treasury? When the matter is over, Lao Tzu must report to the government and cut him down. Looking at the messy rolling wood that had been bitten by insects, the military attache scolded.
Everyone on the side smiled bitterly when they heard this, let's get over the catastrophe in front of them first, maybe as soon as this battle is fought, everyone will die.
In fact, I can't blame the officials of the treasury about this, these rolling logs have been in the warehouse for at least a few decades, maybe more than a hundred years. Ji'an is located inland, and there are few large-scale battles in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need for rolling logs in many places, and no one thought that it would be replaced. Besides, the cost of using gold juice is extremely low, and the channels for obtaining it are also convenient, who would go far and far to get so many rolling logs to put here.
The military attache was angry and anxious, but thinking of the war outside, he still told Wu Wending the news here.
When he first heard the news, Wu Wending's figure shook a few times, and he almost didn't fall. This luck is too bad, and it rains heavily, making the gold juice attack ineffective. Now the rolling wood has also been bitten and is no longer usable.
"What about the archers, let them prepare to release the arrows!" Wu Wending, among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as one who is familiar with military affairs, and immediately gave an order, ready to let the archers attack.
In the city of Ji'an, there are about a thousand or so archers. The training of archers was difficult, and now that the number of archers is extremely small, the archers in most parts of Jiangxi can barely make up so many people.
"Boom!" Just as the archers were about to shoot arrows at the city, suddenly, a loud noise came from the city. Immediately afterwards, I saw the black-pressed soldiers entering the city through the city gate.
"The gates are broken...... It's the gates of the city that have been broken!" Above the city, many soldiers made frightened sounds. The gate of Ji'an is made of hardwood, and it is also wrapped in a layer of iron sheet, which is difficult to invade by water and fire, and is invulnerable, how can these soldiers break through so easily?
And the people under Fang Hong's hands were also surprised, how could this thick gate be so unstruck, and they didn't use much strength to break it, just like half of the paper.
However, Fang Hong's thoughts noticed that inside the gate, there were countless insect holes, and it was estimated that the wood inside had been bitten by insects. In fact, a few years ago, there was an ant plague in Ji'an City, and the wood on many buildings was bitten by termites. The rolling logs in the gate and the storehouse were all in trouble at that time.
It's just that there has been no war in Ji'an City for a long time, so these things are not needed at all, and this city gate is wrapped in iron sheets, even if the inside is bitten by insects, you can't see anything.
Until today, Ji'an City's luck is declining, and various situations will suddenly erupt. If luck is suppressed, all negative conditions can be suppressed.
For example, when attacking the city, there will be no sudden rain in the sky, and if it doesn't rain, the attack of gold juice and boiling oil can be effective, and it can cause great damage to Fang Hong and the others. You won't use the rolling wood later, and you won't find out that the rolling wood has rotted. In this way, Fang Hong and the others couldn't even get close to the city gate, let alone easily break through the city gate.
Therefore, there is such a thing as luck that cannot be touched or seen, but it really exists in this time. There is a good saying, when heaven and earth are together, heroes are not free.
Luck cannot interfere with reality, it cannot let an already intact thing suddenly break, but it can expose the existing problems, and a series of even small problems combined together will become a big problem, and eventually the situation will be corrupted and unmanageable.
After the city was broken, all the soldiers poured into the city, and the soldiers on the top of the city no longer had any fighting spirit, they had no combat experience, and now as soon as the city was broken, they panicked, and one by one became lambs to be slaughtered.
"It's over, it's over. Wu Wending's face was miserable, under such circumstances, he could not command the battle, because everyone was in disarray, and the voices were extremely noisy, and these voices drilled into his ears and made his brain buzz.
"I die before I get out of school, and I don't have a word to live in the world anymore, it's just that. He let out a long sigh, picked up a long knife from his side, and rolled it across his neck.
