So, Su Rong prescribed Ruanjin Powder and asked Fengling and others to find the corresponding medicinal materials.
Zhou Gu added, "You have to move quickly. Don't expect to get enough at one time. Send back as much as you can."
Fengling nodded understandingly and immediately took the people there.
Su Rong touched the head of a flying eagle and said to Zhou Gu: "I have to send a message to the city."
Zhou Gu also felt that he had to send a message, which would at least make Ningchi ready. If every household has a water tank, fill it up quickly so that it can last at least three days without drinking poisoned water.
So Su Rong wrote a short letter, tied it to the flying eagle's leg, patted it on the head and said: "Fly higher, don't be stupid, don't be shot down by the soldiers outside the city, it's better to go high into the clouds."
, then enter the city, and then rush straight down."
The flying eagle was specially trained and seemed to understand. It rubbed its head in Su Rong's hand and then soared into the sky.
Zhou Gu admires it every time he looks at it, "This little thing is really useful."
Now he doesn't have to be envious, he also has one, a gift from Su Rong.
He had been reading books about anecdotes from all over the world since he was a child, and always felt that many of the things and things written in them were too surprising. Did he ever doubt that they were true? But after seeing these flying eagles in Su Rong's hands, he could find them from thousands of miles away.
It is much easier to deliver letters by person than by courier. He feels that the world is so big and full of wonders, but his vision is too small and he has no knowledge.
From the top of Nanping City Tower, you can clearly see the soldiers and horses under the city reorganizing their formation.
Ning Chi's face was solemn, "It looks like the Northern Hebei Army is preparing to attack the city."
He ordered down, "Let everyone prepare at night."
The soldiers guarding the city suddenly woke up and braced themselves, waiting for the Northern Hebei Army to attack the city.
Ning Chi estimated the time, went down from the city tower, and returned to the mansion to convene people, "I'm afraid that the Northern Hebei Army is going to attack the city, and the soldiers and horses from the Protector's Palace may not be able to come so soon. All the soldiers in our city can at most hold on.
One day.”
Ning Ze's face turned pale, "Brother, what should we do?"
He doesn't want to die, he still wants to go to Nanchu and become an official.
Ning Chi didn't expect Ning Ze to come up with any ideas and looked at Jiang Zhu, "Brother Jiang, have you come up with any ideas?"
Jiang Zhudao: "According to what I know, there are more than 30,000 people in the city. There should be more than 10,000 strong men. These people can be gathered together to resist with the soldiers. If there are even strong women
All in all, it is estimated that we can gather nearly 20,000 people. If we all work together, we can last half a day longer."
Half a day is still a lot.
Ning Chi immediately ordered people to go door to door to summon the people.
"Is there any more? Is there any more?" Ning Ze looked at Jiang Zhu as if he were looking at a life-saving straw.
Jiang Zhudao: "There is another way, which is to collect more wood and oil. When the Northern Hebei Army attacks the city, throw down the wood that has been burned into a strong fire. When the dry wood encounters the oil, the less it is, the more hunting it will take. When the fire encounters the soldiers,
, plus pouring oil on it, it will burn, so it can withstand half a day."
"It's winter in the city now, and every household has prepared dry firewood, but it's hard to say how much oil can be obtained. After all, oil is expensive. Not only dry firewood and oil, but also stones and iron tools at home, as long as they are sharp weapons that can hurt people, you can collect them." Ning
Chi gave the order again.
"Is there any more?" Ning Ze asked Jiang Zhu again.
Jiang Zhu shook his head, "These are the only two ways, and I can't think of any more. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Now that there is a huge disparity in military strength, and we are trapped into a corner, we can only count on Brother Zhou and Miss Su Qi outside the city.
Nothing more to do.”
"Yes, yes, brother Zhou and Miss Seven will definitely not watch the Northern Hebei Army attacking the city without thinking of countermeasures." Ning Ze felt that he had more hope of living.
Ning Chi glanced at Ning Ze with disgust. He really didn't know how Su Rong agreed to take this thing. Could it be because he liked his innocence and stupidity?
Preparations were being made in full swing in the city, and the Jibei Army outside the city was also recuperating in preparation for the siege.
A flying eagle flew into Nanping City from high in the clouds. After visual inspection over the Nanping Marquis Mansion, it swooped down.
This flying eagle knew the way. After all, it had lived with Su Rong Fengling in Jibei City. It was much easier than delivering a message to the capital and finding Zhou Che who was marching outside.
"There is an eagle." A guard saw it first.
When Ning Chi heard this, he stood up and asked, "What eagle? Where is it?"
The guard immediately pointed to the eaves not far away.
Ning Chi saw it, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to wave to the eagle. The eagle tilted its head and looked at Ning Chi, then flew over and landed on Ning Chi's shoulder.
Ning Chi hugged it quickly, lowered his head to look for the letter, and sure enough, he saw a letter tied to its leg.
He opened it and saw the letter saying that Zhou Gu had thought of a way to poison the river outside the city, and specifically informed him, but the river was relatively wide and a large amount of powder would be needed to achieve the effect.
Efficacy, this large amount is not necessarily easy to mess with. If it is a small amount, I don't know if it will be effective. In short, let's do our best and ask him to inform the people in the city to prepare water in advance.
Upon hearing this, Ningchi immediately sent people to the city to inform all the people to prepare water.
Jiang Zhu was surprised and said: "This is actually a flying eagle delivering a message?"
"Yes." Ning Chi knew that Su Rong and Zhou Gu were also thinking of something, and felt much relieved, "This was trained by Miss Su Qi's secret guard. It is particularly spiritual. At critical times, it is easier to use than the messenger."
After all, the city was besieged and not a single fly could fly in or out, but this flying eagle was different and could avoid people from a height of ten thousand feet.
"Awesome." Jiang Zhu became more determined to follow Su Rong.
The prescriptions Su Rong prescribed were all common medicines. She specially changed the prescription of Qianli Ruanjin Powder. After all, one of the medicines in the original prescription was rare and difficult to get rid of. The modified prescription was not as effective.
Okay, but still pretty naughty.
So, Fengling took the people, and everyone went out empty-handed. A few hours later, a group of people came back with bags filled with herbs.
It was not easy to obtain a large amount of medicinal herbs during the siege of Nanping City by the Northern Hebei Army. In the past few hours, I traveled a lot and bought all the medicine halls in towns dozens of miles outside the city. Some of them were dug in the mountains.
The medicine is gone.
Midnight led the secret guards, and under the guidance of Su Rong and Zhou Gu, set up a large pot to boil the medicine, and finally boiled it into countless pills, which were randomly put into bags, and then the secret guards quietly threw them into the river.
At night, the Northern Hebei Army launched an offensive against Nanping City, which was very fierce.
Su Rong and Zhou Gu stood on the top of the mountain, looking towards the direction of Nanping City. The shouts of killing were faintly heard, and the fire was soaring into the sky. It seemed that the effect of the medicine had not taken effect, or that it was not enough, or that the soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army had not done much today.
Drink water.
In short, we can only rely on the soldiers in Nanping City to carry it.
Although Zhou Gu was highly skilled in martial arts, he could not lead his men to fight against the 200,000 Northern Hebei Army at this time. He could only endure and wait.
