After estimating that the opera was performed with enough enthusiasm, Jun Ci tied up a few craftsmen and gathered the officers above the deputy level: "Recently, the whole army has been suffering from diarrhea. I thought it was caused by the wind and cold. Today it was found out that it was caused by the military.
There is a fine work in it!"
In the past few days, more and more people had diarrhea, and there was no cure, so they had to suffer. The Southern Dynasty army outside the city was watching eagerly. Jun Ci sent people several times to try to break out and search for medicinal materials, but they all ended in failure.
They had no choice but to send people to the mountains in the direction of Yidu to pick. The medicinal materials collected were of little use and could barely support Qin Xiao and others who wanted to mobilize the entire army.
The Southern Dynasty Army seemed to have sensed the eagerness of the Central Guards to be like a trapped animal. They no longer limited themselves to siege, but began to conduct small-scale attacks and tests.
This undoubtedly made the Central Guards even more anxious.
Jun Ci chose this time to execute people in front of the entire army, which was to remove an unknown worry in their hearts. At least from now on, they will no longer worry about the worsening of their condition, and those who have already experienced it do not have to worry about their condition again.
Being plotted.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have found a batch of medicinal materials and they will be shipped soon." Jun Ci gave another reassurance.
In an instant, all the worries were wiped away from everyone's faces, their eyes were filled with hope, and their lifeless eyes became alive.
As luck would have it, Chen Xiao, who was sent out by Jun Ci, came on horseback at exactly this time, shouting: "General, fortunately you have fulfilled your duty and found the medicinal materials!"
Soon, two carriages carrying medicinal materials piled high came in from the north city gate in front of the somewhat gray-faced Central Guards.
Jun Ci immediately asked the military doctor to take people to distribute it, and ordered the Huotou Army to brew it quickly. Two hours later, each of the Central Guards was given a bowl of bitter medicine. After drinking it for an hour, the diarrhea stopped.
"This medicine is really amazing. It cures the disease and even removes the root."
"Yes, I don't feel tired after taking the medicine."
"It's strange. Not only am I not tired, I suddenly feel more energetic."
…
Discussions filled every corner of Songzi City.
Of course they didn't know that Jun Ci specially mixed the medicine for their diarrhea and sprinkled it into the soup.
Most of these medicines are a combination of tonic medicines, forming a unique nourishing product. During the nourishing process, some impurities in the body will be eliminated, causing diarrhea.
If you are not really sick, it will not damage the root cause, but it will strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body.
"You can take advantage of these brats." Wu Zheng couldn't help but muttered after he recovered.
As Jun Ci's confidants, they were the ones with the knowledge. The amount they took was several times that of these people, and some of the medicinal materials were expensive and hard to come by.
If Lin Zhihuan had not traveled north and south for several years, he might not have been able to find the way to purchase everything.
Even so, Lin Zhihuan could not prepare enough, so Jun Ci could only give the soldiers "diarrhea" in batches.
"While the medicine is still strong, let's practice with them." Qin Xiao also felt sorry for the money Jun Ci spent on purchasing medicinal materials.
In the past few days, due to the large number of "diarrhoea" among the soldiers, they have not practiced well.
They were hiding in the county government office and sweating profusely. Jun Ci said that while taking the medicine, the harder they train, the better they can integrate the effects of the medicine into their bodies.
Wu Zheng hurriedly followed Qin Xiao, but he couldn't let Jun Ci's hard work go to waste. He had to work hard to train his men.
One moment, they were discussing with each other that they were a blessing in disguise. After being ill, their bodies became lighter and their energy increased a little. The next moment, they were taken out in batches to practice vigorously, as if they were trying to make up for what they had lost in the past few days.
.
Songzi City now only has the Central Guard Army, which can be used wherever they want. Wu Zheng even led his group of people to run around Songzi City.
Lan An and Xiao Liu led their people out of the north city gate and ran towards the mountains.
The two parties cooperated, and at sunset, more than two thousand people returned to the city carrying a lot of prey and some wild fruits.
The careful work was eliminated, the long-term illness was cured, the body felt no discomfort, and the Central Guard Army became more vigorous again.
Grilled meat, bone soup, white flour steamed buns, you can eat a mouthful of oil.
Jun Ci simply let the last batch of wine be opened, and everyone got a bowl. They drank it down, and the faces with relaxed brows were full of the satisfaction of the aftertaste.
After the city gates were closed and the fine works were uprooted, no one knew about the changes in Songzi City.
After a hearty meal, a rumbling sound of falling followed the vibration of the ground in the middle of the night, like an earth dragon turning over.
The horn of enemy attack on the tower sounded, and urgent war drums beat.
"These old thieves are indeed attacking at night!" Wu Zheng ran out cursing with a spear in his hand.
"Follow the general's orders." Qin Xiao and Wu Zheng were in the same room, and they went together.
These days, they are adjusting their battle plans.
Finally, the plan to invite you to the urn has been finalized!
The entire army was well-trained and assembled under the flag-bearer waved by Gao Yu.
Qin Xiao only took a few people to climb the tower.
Under the night, clusters of torches swayed in the wind, like wolves in the dark.
The flaming arrows flew towards them, but most of them did not cross the wall. Occasionally, one or two could still affect the archers on the wall.
On the city tower, the archers' powerful counterattack slowed down the Southern Dynasty army attacking the city gate.
However, the number of the Southern Dynasty troops was too great. When they were besieged before, there were groups of 8,000 people, one round every three days. Now it seems that more than 20,000 people have been gathered.
The first batch of arrows had not completely fallen, and the second batch followed closely. This was so fast that the Central Guards could not keep up.
The Southern Dynasty army below, under the command of Yuan Duo, cooperated tacitly, switched formations quickly, and cleverly avoided counterattacks on all the towers. They advanced in an orderly manner, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
The resistance on the city tower is getting weaker and weaker. They must be short of food, sick and weak, and they also lack weapons and crossbows.
The Southern Dynasty army quickly broke through the defense line, and the first batch came outside the closed city gate. The battering ram slowly came, waving the Yuanduo flag, and accompanied by the high-spirited shouts of the Southern Dynasty army, they hit the city gate one after another.
.
The second group of attackers tried to climb up by sticking to the wall. However, the central defense troops held fast at this area, and no one climbed up.
The solid city gate had gone through several battles and had no time to breathe for repairs, so it was fragile. It only hit seven or eight times before it was forcefully knocked open.
The moment the city gate was knocked open, a horn sounded from the tower to order retreat, and the central defense troops evacuated in a hurry.
When Yuan Duo and his men rushed into Songzi City, they could only see countless torches divided into several teams and rushing toward the north gate from different directions.
He immediately ordered: "The Marquis of Xiangxi will lead 6,000 troops to the left to pursue, the Song Commander will lead 6,000 to the right to pursue, and the rest will follow me to pursue from the middle. We must kill them all in Songzi City!"
The 20,000-strong army was divided into three groups, riding tall horses to chase the fire ahead.
Soon they circled into the center of the city. As they stared at the fire ahead, sharp arrows shot out from the dark houses.
