In the medical tent, Li Rong met the militiaman who had been bitten by a poisonous snake. After www.biquge.info treatment by the military doctor, he was out of danger of his life, but the residual poison was not exhausted, and his face was still very pale.

"Marshal!" The military doctors and wounded soldiers saluted in unison when they saw Li Rong.

"How's the situation? Can he speak?" asked the military doctor.

The military doctor shook his head and said: "He can't do anything now, the poisonous snake is very poisonous, the invasion is very fast, it is already a fluke to be able to save people back, many meridians in his body have been corroded, and now he can't move or speak, and he needs to recuperate for a long time to gradually recover." ”

Li Rong frowned, walked to the wounded soldier's bed and sat down, and said, "Can you hear me?" If you can, you blink your eyes, if you can't, blink twice. ”

The wounded soldier blinked.

Li Rong breathed a sigh of relief, the wounded soldier still had hearing, and he could communicate in this simple way, which would allow him to get some clues.

"Do you know where the snake that bit you came from?" asked Li Rong.

The wounded soldier blinked twice, and Li Rong immediately understood that he didn't know.

"So it appeared in the homes of ordinary people?" Li Rong asked again.

The wounded soldier blinked.

"Are there any other snakes in these two households?"

The wounded soldier blinked twice.

"Does the viper attack you when it is frightened by you, or does it attack you or even sneak up on you? ”

The wounded soldier blinked twice.

Li Rong knew it in his heart, pressed the wounded soldier's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, take good care of your injuries, and recover as soon as possible." ”

The wounded soldier blinked......

Li Rong walked out of the marching tent and glanced at the yellow sandstone floor with a frown.

There is no grass in the desert, and the poisonous snake has nothing to hide in the streets, but the key is that the whole city is now on alert, no one is allowed to go out, and the patrol team cannot observe every corner of the street in real time, which creates an opportunity for the poisonous snake to exploit loopholes.

Vipers will avoid the eyes and ears of the patrol and will choose to take the initiative to sneak attack the militia, which is enough to show that poisonous snakes are also part of the beast tide.

There is now one known viper, and it has been killed, but who knows how many vipers are hidden in the fortress?

Patrolling is of little use, and patrols may not be able to detect what is happening in the house, so the only way is to force the snake out.

Poisonous snakes are afraid of natural enemies, but now not to mention that Li Rong can't catch the natural enemies of snakes, even if he can catch them, he won't die at this juncture, God knows if the rules of the beast tide will subvert the laws of the food chain.

However, in addition to natural predators, there are many ways to drive away snakes, such as realgar.

Realgar is the most annoying thing for poisonous insects, and snakes will not go to places where there is a smell of realgar.

Li Rong found the militia and asked them to go to the pharmacy to buy all the realgar, and then grind it into powder and distribute it to every household, so that they could sprinkle the realgar powder in their own homes, and it was best to spare every corner.

As soon as the realgar powder was sprinkled, the poisonous snakes really couldn't hide, and they fled from the houses one after another, spitting out letters with their mouths open, looking for places to hide in the streets.

However, it was obvious that Li Rong would not let them continue to hide, and the vanguard general, who had already received the order, led the militia and cavalry to start sweeping around the fortress, as long as he saw a poisonous snake, he shot through it without saying a word.

After all, a poisonous snake is just a poisonous snake, its sharp blade is a tooth, it can't bite the target, and the toxin in its venom gland is just an ornament.

Soon, the poisonous snakes in the fortress were cleaned up, and if you counted them carefully, there were as many as fifty!

It is very scary for a poisonous snake to lurk and attack people, as evidenced by the fact that two families were bitten to death by poisonous snakes before.

Li Rong was fortunate that he took measures in a timely manner, otherwise when these fifty poisonous snakes attacked together, the fortress would not be in a mess?

Of course, the chaos can be calmed down, but if too many people die, it will have a serious impact on the productivity of the fortress, and at the same time, it will also break up the popular hearts that Li Rong has managed to gather.

The poisonous snake is a treasure, Li Rong asked people to cut off the snake's head, and sent his body to the military doctor for medicine, maybe it can be used.

He then instructed the militia to organize search squads to look for possible gaps in the fortress, and to find out the channels through which the poisonous snakes entered, otherwise they would be distracted by the ongoing war.

After explaining the task, Li Rong went to the other three city walls to take a look, the three new candidates worked very hard, they did not interfere in the command, only followed the soldiers to shoot arrows and throw stones, and regarded themselves as a senior soldier.

Li Rong didn't step forward to say hello, and quietly returned to the front city wall.

By this time, the beast tide had approached the city wall, and the leopards began to try to climb the wall.

Compared with the wolves, the strength of the leopard pack is much stronger, and the wolves need to cooperate to get on the wall, but the leopard pack is just a vertical body, and they can jump on the city wall by themselves in three or two clicks.

At some point, the thistles outside the city walls were no longer effective, and the huge number of leopards leveled the thistles above, but they also paid a terrible price for it.

Looking at the endless army of beast tides on the horizon, Li Rong realized that this battle would be more time-consuming than he imagined, and maybe there would be other unexpected things to happen in the process.

At the end of the first day of fighting, the leopards chose to temporarily shrink, the leopards were not good at fighting for a long time, and after a momentum, it was difficult for them to immediately organize a second ferocious attack.

The city wall took a breath, although it was two shifts, and there was no shortage of props to defend the city, but after a day of fighting, their arms were a little stiff.

Li Rong found sappers to repair the damaged defenses, and he took Zhang Kaiyu and his three new younger brothers down the city wall.

Don't get me wrong, it's not to rest, it's to find loopholes.

The channel through which the poisonous snake infiltrated was unknown for a moment, and Li Rong's heart was like a sharp sword hanging from it, and he could never be at peace.

Night is the most active time for poisonous insects, and Li Rong is afraid that his soldiers will be injured by poisonous insects while resting, so in order to prevent this from happening, he must immediately find out the problem and solve it.

"You have all read the map of the fortress, the entire fortress is sealed by four walls, and there is no passage such as a canal for poisonous snakes to enter, how do you say that poisonous snakes entered?" In the marshal's mansion, Li Rong sat with the four younger brothers in the study and drank tea.

Zhang Kaiyao took the map and turned it around, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess they sneaked in from the ground." ”

"Underground, although snakes are burrowing animals, this does not mean that they can burrow, snakes generally prey on rat nests. One objected.

"It's not impossible to go underground, rats are everywhere, and it's not surprising to open a few underground passages inside and outside the fortress, the question is how do we find them. One person analyzed.

"It's more difficult than searching for poisonous snakes, rat nests are generally built in hidden places, plus rat nests extend in all directions, and rats can't be driven out by snake drives. ”

Mouse?

A few words from everyone reminded Li Rong that rats also belong to beasts, so will they also participate in the beast tide?

This question was skipped in Li Rong's mind after a circle, after all, this is the Gobi, the living environment is very cruel, there are not many rats that can survive here, even if all the rats in the fortress are involved in the siege war, the damage they can cause is very small.
