The siege of the city has been going on for five days, and the city of Qiuci is already so smelly that it can no longer accommodate people.
He Yuanshan is getting thinner and thinner. His eyes are red like an evil ghost who has eaten dead human flesh. His neck looks very thin, but the large blood vessels on it are coiled around his neck like earthworms. It seems that as long as he squirms a little more, he will
Burst open.
Liu Xiong is getting better and better at eating. He seems to never be full and eats all the time.
Of the six major Zhanggu in the Daguan Ling Yamen, only Yunchu, the replacement, is left.
Although he was also serving as the ninth grade Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Office, Yun Chu still followed He Yuanshan to the battlefield when no one was available.
"Today, we have to go out of the city again."
He Yuanshan squatted on the blood-soaked arrow stack, and when he moved a little, countless flies were startled.
Liu Xiong, who was eating naan cakes, looked up at He Yuanshan and said lightly: "Ding Dayou doesn't want us to live, does he?"
He Yuanshan said: "No one can avoid it."
As he spoke, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "I can't help you this time. I thought I could resist it for a while."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I know you have taken good care of me. When things get to this point, there is no way to avoid it."
Liu Xiong suddenly laughed, smiling like a night owl.
"No one can live. After tonight, everyone will die. Yunchu, brother lied to you. As long as you go to the battlefield, no one will care about you. If you die in battle, don't blame brother."
Yun Chu patted his hand comfortingly and said, "Just take care of yourself. I can protect myself."
He Yuanshan looked at the burned and messy Mulberry Army Stronghold in the distance, and said regretfully: "Pei Dongfeng took away a soldier from the Zhechong Mansion, otherwise, even if we were fighting in the field, we would not be able to deal with these miscellaneous people from the Chuyue Department.
The soldiers he left us are really too few, too few."
Yunchu knew that He Yuanshan had actually collapsed and Liu Xiong was just a corpse now.
I couldn't discuss anything with these two people, so I sat up straight and said, "Actually, there is still a way."
He Yuanshan shook his head and said: "You may not know that the reason why Ding Dayou sent us out of the city to fight in the early morning was to attract the Turks so that he could lead the soldiers of Shangzhou Zhechong Prefecture to break out from another place."
Yun Chu quickly asked: "From which direction are they planning to break out?"
"Mulberry Grove!"
"But, the gap there is blocked, how can he get out? Walk over the wall to get out? That would be courting death."
"When they were building the city wall, they did some tricks on that part of the city wall to tilt it inward, and then used wooden heads to hold it up to prevent it from falling down. They also dug a big hole under the city wall, and just put the wood in it.
Tear it down, and the newly repaired city wall will collapse into the pit, so that you can ride out and run away."
Yun Chu glanced at the bare land outside Qiuci City. The strong sun these days had almost dried the earth.
The life of the Turks outside the city is actually not easy, and they can only hide under tents. Even so, there are too few shady places.
At this time, Yunchu understood why there was such a large shady area outside Kucha City, with a cold canal running through the forest in the middle.
It's not that everyone doesn't know that the mulberry forests there can be used to make siege equipment, but they really can't bear to part with the shade.
Yunchu knew the various virtues of the Hu people, and he did not think that the leaders of the Chuyue tribe would put themselves under the scorching sun.
Since the mulberry forest is still intact, this can only mean one thing. The big leaders of the Chuyue tribe are enjoying the cool air in the forest.
As for Ding Da, who has such a talent for killing, he should be incapable of escaping from battle.
Even people like He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong were unwilling to escape knowing that they would die, let alone Ding Dayou, who had a much higher status than them.
If Ding Dayou is planning to break open the city wall early this morning, then there is only one possibility, and that is to raid the settlement of Chuyue leaders. As long as he kills the leader of the Turks, he may have a fight in Kucha City.
A beautiful battle in which a small number defeats a large number, just like the famous general Xi Junmai of the Tang Dynasty, who defeated ten thousand cavalry with a hundred cavalry.
You can think about things like this. Yunchu has no real-time intelligence support, so you can only think about it.
When it got dark, He Yuanshan asked Yunchu the time again and again, as if he couldn't wait to die.
Liu Xiong was obviously very sleepy, but he refused to fall asleep. He was probably worried that if he fell asleep, he would never have the chance to see the world again.
The stench of corpses under the city wall was so strong that it seemed impossible to get rid of it. Although the sun had set, the world was still blazing hot. If you wanted to get cooler, you had to wait at least until the early morning, when the heat in the sand had dissipated.
After giving He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong a little bit of the magic medicine, they became quiet and became obedient in a daze.
When Jiesiga and the others came over, Yunchu had already become the top commander of the Daguanling Yamen, which He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong agreed to in person.
"How can we make the camel obey the command and run wildly in one direction without stopping?" Yunchu asked Jiesiga directly. He wanted to ask questions about livestock. The Hu people must have the best answer.
"Make the camel go crazy." Although Jiesga was covered in scars, he still maintained the demeanor of a Cypriot warrior in front of Yun Chu.
"How do you make a camel go crazy?"
"Brush the male camel's eggs with oil and light them, and stuff the female camel's cavity with hot red stones."
"Where's the cow?"
"Brush the cow's butt with oil and light it."
"Where's the sheep?"
"There is nothing the sheep can do. Even if you kill it, it will remain silent."
"Okay, then I just need camels and cows, follow the method you said, and wait until dawn to light the fire.
You ride on your horse and follow the camels and oxen, fight your way out, and then go home."
Jiesiga looked back at the few Cypriots around him and said expressionlessly: "We want Kucha City."
Yunchu sneered and said: "When the Tang people leave and the Turks leave, Kucha City will be yours."
Jiesiga said: "No, I won't leave Kucha City."
Yun Chu smashed his mouth and said, "To be honest, the Tang Dynasty will not give you Kucha City. It will never be possible."
Jiesga's face suddenly turned red, and she said loudly: "He promised us, he promised us, people are not yaks, do they have to keep their words?"
Yun Chu waited until Jiesiga was noisy like a Cypriot before he continued: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not change what he said, and the rest of the people are not qualified to give away any land occupied by the Tang Dynasty to others.
You must remember this clearly. If you want to get something from the people of the Tang Dynasty, the best person you want to ask for should be the emperor.
If you are not the emperor, you'd better not believe it, especially the ownership of the land and pastures.
In addition, Selema is pregnant, please stay with me, and after you run out, I will send Selema back to you."
"Tsk—" Jiesga dismissed what Yunchu said.
"You just said that no one in Tang Dynasty keeps his word. I know you want Selema, but I won't give it to you.
Yunchu, okay, okay, you have already taken away my daughter, you can’t take away my Selema too.
Selema, Selema, come to me, don’t be deceived by Yun Chu.”
Selema, who was waiting for Jiesika outside, immediately ran over, held Jiesika's injured hand tightly, and said to Yun Chu: "I won't go with you. Even if you take me away, without Jiesika
Sigar, I will die."
Yun Chu looked at the bonfires of Turks outside the city, which were as numerous as stars, and sighed: "I just want you to live well."
Jiesga said loudly: "I can protect Selema without your help, and I will protect her with my life."
Facing a fool like Jiesika, Yunchu had ten thousand ways to deal with him, but he really had no way to deal with Selema's stubbornness.
This is a woman who accepts death. When she first wanted to raise Yunchu, she did so without hesitation for thirteen years. Now, she has fallen in love with Jiesika again. It goes without saying that she will follow him through life and death.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Naha, and then you can go with Jiesga." Yunchu was going to separate these two idiots first.
Unexpectedly, Selema looked at Yunchu warily and said: "If you don't go, you are lying to me. If I go, I will be separated from Jiesga.
Yun Chu, I am not yours, Naha is."
Yun Chu said angrily: "Nonsense, you are my mother and Naha is my sister. I just want to protect you."
Seeing that Yun Chu was angry, Selema became even more convinced that Yun Chu's thoughts were wrong, because Yun Chu had never been angry in the thirteen years he had been with her.
He simply buried his head in Jiesga's arms and stopped talking to Yun Chu.
Jiesiga, on the other hand, winked at Yun Chu proudly and took the remaining one hundred and ten Sai people to do things according to Yun Chu's arrangements.
After they left, there was no one else except He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong who were sleeping. Yun Chu sat down next to He Yuanshan and listened to their thunderous snoring.
After a while, Yun Chu said towards the shadow of the city wall: "The barbarians can't hold it anymore. If we don't let them leave, civil strife is right around the corner."
"So, do you want to take advantage of them one last time?"
"Yes, this is the best way."
The group of bad guys that Yunchu met six days ago came out of the darkness and blocked Yunchu on the city wall in a fan shape.
"It is not an ordinary crime to murder Shangguan."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The two of them are too sleepy and need to take a nap. How can they murder Shangguan?
I asked He Yuanshan, you bad guys are just a bunch of idle people who can't get paperwork, what qualifications do you have to interfere with government affairs?"
The leader of the bad guys smiled and said, "We are different."
Yunchu laughed and said: "At this moment, there is nothing different. The city will be captured by the Turks tomorrow at the latest. All of us are working hard to make a difference in the early morning. Can't you help us?"
The bad guy shook his head and said, "No, we're going to go with Ding Da."
Yun Chu was silent for a moment and said: "In other words, the people in Zhechong Mansion can break out when they find that something cannot be done, or when the goal is achieved. You bad guys can go with the people in Zhechong Mansion when you find that something is wrong. Only we can
The people in the Guanling Yamen received the order to fight to the end?"
The bad guy chuckled and said: "Ding Dayou gave you a position as the Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Office, which means he gave you a way to survive. If you left He Yuanshan and the others early, why would you end up like this?
Besides, people like He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong have already gotten what belongs to them, and now it's time for them to pay the price."
Yun Chu looked at the sleeping He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong and said, "If I become my chief physician immediately, will I be able to survive?"
The bad guy sneered and said: "The men and horses of Zhe Chong Mansion have been organized and trained. There is no place for you. Ding Dayou will never want a guy like you who is both snake and rat again, even if you are good at what you do."
