Chapter 347: The Plague
Counting the Tiebu Battalion, there were a total of more than 50,000 corpses of human soldiers outside the city, all of which were eaten by the armor demons, but these armor demons seemed to have fallen into a state of hunger and madness again, which made Lin Muyu feel unspeakably cold, which was enough to prove that the number of armor demons was at least ten times that of the first day, and now the armor demons surrounding Winter Frost City were at least 100,000, not to mention 200,000.
......
"Be careful. ”
Qin Yan shouted loudly, but it was too late, and with a "poof", a temple battalion soldier was pierced through his body by the iron spear thrown by the armor demon under the city, the force was too great, and the iron spear pierced through his heart, and when he fell, he was already a corpse.
This is the most powerful and only long-range attack method of the armor demon, although the accuracy of their throwing is very poor, but once they hit, they are almost certain to die, and the corpse of the emperor ** person in the city is also created in this way.
If no one next to Lin Muyu shot arrows down the city wall one by one, the first form of the star trick, the mystical power of the stars was concentrated in the arrows, almost one arrow at a time to solve the armor demon, so that Min Zhan, Wang Xi and others not far away were amazed, this is the cultivation of the people in the temple.
So, under the city wall in front of Lin Muyu, a thick layer of armor demon corpses was piled up, which also attracted more armor demons, constantly projecting with iron spears, and the air "swished" with iron spears up to three meters long, which was very terrifying, fortunately, Lin Muyu was not afraid of such an attack at all, the golden light around his body appeared, and the gourd wall was enough to resist, not to mention that there was a thick layer of fighting armor on the body surface, and it was even more difficult for these armor demons to hurt him.
The siege of the armor demons continued until nearly night, and they finally retreated like a tide.
A marching counselor walked over, glanced at the corpses piled up outside the city in astonishment, and said respectfully, "Archdeacon, you shot these armor demons alone. ”
"No, I shot it with everyone. Lin Muyu said.
The marching counselor was dumbfounded, and said, "The bravery of the archdeacon may surpass General Du Haihai." ”
Lin Muyu's expression darkened: "It's a pity that the general still died in the hands of Lei Chong." ”
On the side, Qin Yan said with a smile: "Counselor, aren't you responsible for recording the heads and so on to record the battle merits, my eldest brother will shoot at least one person today; ”
The marching counselor respectfully clasped his fists and said: "Little prince, with the merits of the archdeacon, the first hundred demons, can be promoted to the commander of ten thousand masters, but the archdeacon is the archdeacon of the temple, or he can be promoted to the commander." ”
Qin Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then after returning to the imperial capital, you have to correct my eldest brother's name, hmph, such a meritorious person is actually excluded and cannot enter the imperial system, it is simply unreasonable." ”
The counselor's body trembled and said with a smile: "These things...... The last general is just a small official in the army, and I don't know how many ...... there are."
"Hmph, just tell the truth. ”
"Yes, as long as the last general returns to Lanyan City alive, he will definitely truthfully report the exploits of the archdeacon in this battle. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
After sending the marching counselors, Shenwei Marquis Min Yulin walked up to the city wall surrounded by a group of generals, looking at the vast expanse outside the city and the corpses of the imperial soldiers on the aisle of the city wall, he frowned and said: "The attack of the demon clan has become more and more ferocious, it seems that they also feel that our food and grass are already insufficient. ”
Lin Muyu said: "Junhou, if they really want us to starve to death in the city, there is no need to forcibly attack the city like this, and the dead armor demons are only lost in vain." ”
"The major general thinks there is fraud in it. Min Yulin asked in surprise.
"Well, at least that's unusual. Lin Muyu said calmly.
"So ......" Min Yulin said: "We have nothing to do, we can only take one step at a time, and try to delay the strength of the demon siege as much as possible, I hope that the reinforcements will arrive one day sooner." ”
"Yes. ”
"The armor demons have already left, open the city gate and pull out the arrows, otherwise the arrows in the city will be consumed in two days. ”
"Yes. ”
......
After Min Yulin left, Lin Muyu took Qin Yan, Shen Han and others out of the city to pull arrows, defending the city for so many days, pulling arrows seems to be a daily thing, in addition to them, Min Zhan, Xu Ying, Chai Hong and other commander-level generals also took people out of the city to draw arrows one after another, but there were not many people with them, in case the demons came back and lost too much.
"Poof......
When Qin Yan pulled a white diamond arrow out of a demon's mouth, wisps of green blood juice burst out, and he couldn't help frowning, and said, "What the hell, how is this demon's blood green." ”
On the other side, Shen Han also nodded and said, "It's the same here, today's armor demon is actually green blood, what's the matter." ”
Lin Muyu said: "Anyway, it's all some monsters, whatever, clean up the arrows, don't touch them with your hands, to prevent infection, remember to wash the arrows with hot boiling water after returning to the camp, otherwise you can't use them anymore, do you understand." ”
"Yes. ”
Although Shen Han nodded to accept the order, he asked in surprise: "Archdeacon, why do you want to wash it with boiling water, my subordinates have never seen such a strange method for so many years, can it make the arrows sharper." ”
"It's not. Lin Muyu explained simply: "I'm just worried that there is a virus on the body of the demon, and we can't bear this bacteriotoxin, so we need to disinfect, anyway...... It's always good to be cautious, and this method of boiling water is called 'disinfection', but most of you don't understand it at all. ”
Qin Yan and Shen Han nodded together and said, "It's true that I don't understand at all......"
"I knew it. ”
At night, after returning to the camp, he was tired, and the dinner he could get was only half a piece of marching flatbread, Lin Muyu sat on the grinding plate on the side of the temple camp plate, watching Shen Han and the others disinfect the arrows from a distance, and at the same time holding the vegetable soup in his hand, chewing the dough cake one by one, at this time Qin Yan walked over, holding two thick flatbreads in his hand and handed them to Lin Muyu, and said with a smile: "Big brother, eat more to have the strength to kill the enemy." ”
"Where did it come from? Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
Qin Yan smiled slightly: "The people in the Spirit Fire Division are all our people, and it is not a matter of getting two more cakes to be caught." ”
Lin Muyu stretched out his hand and pushed it, returned the flatbread to Qin Yan, and said, "Ah Yan, you can eat, I'm enough." ”
"Big brother, don't lie to people, you are a young and strong body, how can you be full if you don't even have one or two pieces of bread, you are the commander of our temple camp, if you don't have the strength to kill the enemy, what will the soldiers do. Qin Yan's face was red, he was still too young and immature, although his cultivation was amazing, he still looked like a child.
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, we'll divide half of each of us." ”
"Okay, that's right. ”
Qin Yan put the spear aside, picked up the vegetable soup and smelled it, and said with a smile: "I used to feel too tired of drinking broth, but now I feel that I feel relishish when I eat this vegetable soup, hey, it's interesting." ”
Lin Muyu was a little gloomy, and said: "Ah Yan, it's all my fault that I brought you into this Jedi, you are all still young, and you shouldn't have died here, but don't worry, I will do my best to take you back to Lanyan City alive." ”
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little red, and he said: "Big brother, where do you say, since my brother died in battle, Ah Yan has long regarded you as the only relative, you Lin Muyu is my Qin Yan's eldest brother, and it will always be, if it is true that we all die here, Ah Yan will definitely not regret it, just big brother...... You are different, Her Royal Highness the Empress and Lord Xi are so ** you, you should have lived happily together, instead of dying in humiliation in this ghost place......"
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother, it will definitely not, we can get out of Lingdong alive." ”
"Hmm. ”
......
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Muyu woke up slowly, and the power of the seven yao and the stars in his body slowly swirled, and there was actually a feeling of reflecting each other, these two forces did not conflict with each other, and it was a good thing.
"Archdeacon, are you awake? Shen Han's voice came from outside the tent.
Lin Muyu got up and put on his clothes and armor, and said, "Wake up, what's wrong." ”
"Something big has happened. ”
"Oh, what's the matter. ”
"Early this morning, many brothers are sick, headaches and fevers, many people's eyes are bloody, I don't know what's going on, archdeacon, come and take a look. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu hurriedly walked out of the camp tent, Qin Yan, Shen Han and others were waiting, and when they went to the wounded barracks, they saw sick soldiers lying on the ground from a distance, almost all of them had the same symptoms, their faces were red, their heads were hot, and their eyes were blood-red, they were weak, and their high fever did not go away.
"What's going on. Lin Muyu asked.
"I've had this weird illness since last night. A medical officer from the Elixir Department said respectfully: "My lord, we can't diagnose what their illness is, it's not a heat poison, it's not an ordinary high fever, and after these patients are sent, they actually infected our original wounded soldiers here with a high fever that doesn't go away." ”
"Isolate everyone who has a high fever that doesn't go away. Lin Muyu said lightly: "Don't let them touch anyone to prevent further infection." ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Muyu looked at Qin Yan and said, "Ah Yan, check which army the sick soldiers belong to and what the same thing they have done." ”
Qin Yan nodded: "Yes." ”
Not long after, Qin Yan went and returned, and said, "Big brother, it has been found out, almost every one of these soldiers participated in the task of 'pulling out arrows' after the war yesterday. ”
"Those demons are really ......"
Lin Muyu gritted his teeth, slammed his fist on the stone pillar on the side, and said angrily: "We were fooled, the armor demons who attacked the city yesterday were all some armor demons who were already infected with the disease, the demons are so ruthless, this is to send the plague to the Winter Frost City." ”
"That'...... What to do with these sick brothers. Qin Yan asked.
"I don't know, let's wait for the prince to come. ”
"Hmm. ”
Not long after, Min Yulin rode his horse to the wounded barracks, Lin Muyu immediately briefly said the situation, Min Yulin's expression was very solemn and silent.
"Prince, what should I do, more and more people are infected with the plague. Su Wentian said eagerly: "Even several of my subordinates have been infected with the plague together. ”
"The demons are trying to kill us all......"
Min Yulin closed his eyes in pain, his eyelids trembled constantly, and muttered: "Seal off the wounded barracks, no one is allowed to approach, immediately bury all those infected with the plague, and no one is allowed to disobey." ”
"Live...... Bury the emperor alive,. Su Wentian looked shocked, R640
