Li Qiye said anxiously: "My lord, if they charge forward like this, our bows and arrows will soon run out."
Ning Guzhou looked at the sky and said softly: "Just hold on for another half hour."
Li Qiye responded, and Tang Miaoxin handed him some bamboo tubes and said, "Tear off the stoppers and throw them out. These should be able to stop them for half an hour."
Ning Guzhou had used these bamboo tubes once before when Tang Miaoxin was on the way to the First City to deal with Zhao Yan.
How powerful that time was, both Ning Guzhou and Mo Li still remember it fresh.
So Mo Li happily took those bamboo tubes and threw them out.
This time it was obviously an improved version, because when those bamboo tubes were thrown out, there was not much smoke, only a splash closer to his bamboo tube.
Ning Guzhou looked at Tang Miaoxin: "You take a lot of things with you when you go out!"
Tang Miaoxin shook his head: "I did this when I was in Huaicheng. I originally planned to use it to deal with King Huai, but Zuo Xingzhi robbed me of this treatment."
"There were still some left at that time. I originally wanted to use them to greet the Zhao people when they caught up with them, but then there was no need to go out after you came."
"It's just right now. I've used it all up, and I feel comfortable. After all, there's no other place to use it recently. It's quite troublesome to carry it around."
Ning Guzhou: "..."
Mo Li said sincerely: "When it comes to dealing with people, it has to be the princess."
The guards had been fighting for several hours, and they were tired. They could sit down and rest now.
Qingzhou Mu originally thought that this time he would be able to kill them all to get food, but as a result, their people were gone before they even got close!
He was so irritable that he wanted to jump!
He said angrily: "What are those bamboo tubes?"
The confidant sent someone to inquire about it, but the person who inquired failed to come back.
A confidant said: "It seems like there is poison in those bamboo tubes."
Qingzhou Mu was shocked: "Poison? King Qin's people are so powerful, but they still use poison? How can they be so shameless?"
The confidant did not dare to accept this.
After all, so many of them used wheel tactics to consume Qinzhou's troops, so it was not a shameful thing.
Qingzhou Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to shoot the bamboo tube away."
The confidant sent someone to do it, and then the bamboo tube that was shot away exploded in the air. This time the poison spread over a larger area and more people died.
Qingzhou Mu: “!!!!!”
This thing is too evil!
A confidant came over and said, "Sir, you can't shoot those things!"
Qingzhou Mu just wanted to curse him out with all the curse words he had accumulated in his life.
He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care what method you use, just get rid of all those bamboo tubes immediately!"
The confidant said with a bitter face: "Sir, we can't get rid of it!!"
"I don't know what that thing is made of. It's so lethal that our people were poisoned to death before they even got over."
They have little experience with these things and don't know how toxic the poison is and how long it will last.
Because too many people died today, it was obvious that going there would mean death, and those soldiers were not willing to go there.
Qingzhou Mu's face turned green with anger. He looked at the rice placed on the edge of the cliff and was so greedy.
Now that the thing is right in front of him, but he can't reach it, this feeling is really heartbreaking.
Qingzhou Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Go catch some animals and drive them over there every half-quarter of an hour."
"When those beasts are fine, you will lead an attack immediately."
My confidants thought this was a good idea and immediately asked someone to do it.
There are farmers nearby, and they directly collect the animals raised by the farmers.
When farmers asked them for money, they beat them up.
There is no essential difference between this kind of behavior and robbery. The farmers really couldn't bear it. Some women sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Tang Miaoxin and her group were at a relatively high position, and could hear women crying intermittently.
She took out her telescope from her bag and looked toward the place where the cries were heard. She happened to see a few soldiers from Qingzhou taking away a cage of chickens. Someone tried to stop them, but they were kicked away.
Tang Miaoxin's expression changed slightly and she cursed: "Is this a soldier or a robber?"
She knows that for some officials, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and everything they do depends on their conscience.
She also knew that Dayan was a bit chaotic, but the officers and soldiers snatching things from the people set a new limit for her.
Ning Guzhou asked: "What happened?"
Tang Miaoxin handed him the telescope.
He looked at the telescope in her hand and was speechless. It seemed that she had emptied it out by herself when she was a bandit.
She told him that her trip to Huaizhou to borrow food was an impromptu decision, and she couldn't believe it. It was clear that she had planned it in advance.
Tang Miaoxin saw that he didn't pick up the telescope, so she asked, "Don't you want to see it?"
Ning Guzhou took the telescope from her hand and glanced in the direction she was looking at before, his eyes filled with frost.
Tang Miaoxin put her hands on her hips and said, "This dog officer, I'll kill him when you turn around!"
Qingzhou Mu sent people to snatch their food. She thought this was understandable, after all, everyone was short of food.
But Qingzhou Mu sent people to rob the people, and she felt that this was intolerable. As an official, even if he could not protect the people, he could not oppress them.
If even the common people are oppressed, they are not worthy of being officials.
Ning Guzhou returned the telescope to her and said: "Qingzhou Mu really deserves to die."
Tang Miaoxin had already pondered several ideas in her mind to kill Qingzhou Mu.
But now they are still besieged here, and Qingzhou Mu has many soldiers and horses. If they don't have foreign aid, it will be difficult for them to break through, let alone kill Qingzhou Mu.
She asked Ning Guzhou: "Do you have any backup plans?"
Ning Guzhou replied: "It's not a last resort, but I guessed before that you would go to Huaizhou to borrow food. Qingzhou might have other ideas when you come back."
"So I had people make some preparations before and mobilized some troops and horses at the junction of Qinzhou and Qingzhou."
"When I killed Qingzhou Mu's brother-in-law yesterday, I guessed that they would not give up, so I sent guards to mobilize troops."
"Calculate the time, it should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard movement in the distance. It was the sound of at least a thousand horses galloping.
Tang Miaoxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately picked up the telescope to take a look, and saw a group of cavalry running towards their direction in the distance.
Tang Miaoxin smiled happily when she saw this scene, and gave Ning Guzhou a thumbs up: "In terms of considering things carefully, you have to be the one!"
She deeply felt that as long as she was with Ning Guzhou, there would be no need for her to think about these things.
Because Ning Guzhou will arrange everything properly, there is no need for her to worry about it.
Ning Guzhou's lips curled up slightly: "Now, you can do whatever you want to do."
