Chapter 28 Chasing, Poison City Blocking the Road
Xiao Yu sent troops at the beginning of the Yin Dynasty. At the beginning of the year, as soon as Chaoyang appeared, the army led by him had already appeared outside Ningcheng.
On the gate building of Ningcheng City, Shao Jing's gluttonous flag hunted against the morning wind, but Xiao Yu did not see Shao Jing's figure.
Xiao Yu glanced at the soldiers waiting on the wall, frowned and meditated for a moment, summoned the Jinyang bow, and shot an arrow at Shao Jing's general flag.
Wh!
As soon as the roar of arrows sounded in everyone's ears, Shao Jing's flag broke from the middle and fell diagonally towards the gate.
"Lord, Shao Jing abandoned the city and fled?"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Yu nodded and wink at Lin Beiwen.
At Xiao Yu's signal, Lin Beiwen moved his body and jumped towards the gate tower.
The figure only paused three times, and Lin Beiwen's figure appeared on the roof of the gate.
The soldiers on the wall aimed all the crossbows at Lin Beiwen, but no one dared to take action first.
Lin Beiwen looked around and only saw 6,000 or 700 soldiers on the wall near the gate tower.
"When Shao Jing abandoned the city and fled, he had already abandoned you. Why do you have to resist stubbornly? Put down your weapons, and the general will not hurt your lives.
The soldiers looked at the people around them and did not attack Lin Beiwen or put down the weapons in their hands.
Seeing this, Lin Beiwen frowned and moved his body. He jumped into the city and was ready to open the gate.
As soon as he pulled the door tack, Lin Beiwen only felt a chill hit his whole body in an instant. He subconsciously called out the ghost king's clothes and retreated as fast as he could.
Boom!
Hearing a loud noise, the gate tower flew up a little high, and then fell to the ground, and collapsed into a pile of ruins with nearly ten feet of wall on both sides.
Xiao Yu did not expect such a change, nor did the soldiers on the wall.
Except for nearly a hundred soldiers who have died, the other soldiers on the wall are stupid in place.
Seeing that Lin Beiwen was safe and sound, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly at Shen Li on his left hand side and said, "In vain, I thought Shao Jing was a figure. Unexpectedly, he could even play this trick."
Shen Li heard this and smiled and said, "If we find that Ningcheng is empty, we will rush directly into the city, and the bloody tiger guards behind us may suffer some damage. From this point of view, his trick is still good.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and did not refute Shen Li's words.
Shao Jing's tamping on the gate is also a good trick. However, he ignored the actions of the soldiers under his command, which made Xiao Yu very disgraceful.
After clearing a passage, Xiao Yu left 3,000 soldiers in Ningcheng to maintain the stability of Ningcheng, and then took the army through Ningcheng and went directly to Zhulin Town, southwest of Ningcheng.
According to Xiao Yu's calculation, after Shao Jing withdraws from Ningcheng, he should go to the southwest to play a round with Yang Xi, Marquis of Jincheng.
Less than ten miles forward, Xiao Yu found the traces left by Shao Jing's army's retreat.
After nearly three hours of travel, Xiao Yu's army came to Zhulin Town.
Zhulin Town is also a military town. Although its geographical location is not as important as Guanjia Town, the area of Zhulin Town is not smaller than that of Guanjia Town.
Looking at the empty wall, Xiao Yu wink at Lin Beiwen and motioned him to enter Zhulin Town to explore the situation in the town.
There is no soldier on the wall of Zhulin Town, and there is no wandering people on the streets of the town.
Lin Beiwen frowned gently, jumped from the gate building to the town, and carefully opened the gate.
After opening the gate, Lin Beiwen returned to Xiao Yu and told Xiao Yu the situation in the city.
"There is no one on the streets in the city?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a while and said, "Even if Zhulin Town faces the situation of changing owners, there should be no one on the street at this time. Did Shao Jing spread any rumors that are unfavorable to us in Zhulin Town?"
"Do you want to investigate again?"
"No! Let's go straight through Zhulin Town and ignore the people in Zhulin Town.
After replying to Lin Beiwen, Xiao Yu drove the horse forward and went to Zhulin Town first.
Through Zhulin Town, Xiao Yu asked the army to rest for a quarter of an hour outside Zhulin Town, ate some dry food, and then went to Yi County in the southwest.
Yixian County is 62.3 miles away from Zhulin Town. When Xiao Yu's army rushed to Yixian County, it was time for the people of Yixian County to prepare dinner.
In the afterglow of the sunset, the whole Yi County was shrouded in cooking smoke.
In the smoke of cooking, Yicheng is like a sleeping old cow, which is particularly peaceful.
Looking at the quiet county in the distance, a trace of unbearance flashed in Xiao Yu's heart, but he did not stop the soldiers.
Just as the sound of the horse's hoofs resounded through more than half of Yicheng, Tang Yuansong, who followed Xiao Yu, suddenly drove the horse a few steps faster.
"General, wait a minute!"
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned and turned her head to look at Tang Yuansong doubtfully.
"There is something wrong with this cooking smoke!"
"Is there something wrong with cooking smoke?"
Xiao Yu frowned and felt cold. She looked at Tang Yuansong and asked, "Is this cooking smoke poisonous?"
"The general is wise!"
Maybe it is a psychological function. When looking at Yicheng, the quiet Yicheng exudes a sense of death.
After ordering the army to stop, Xiao Yu asked Tang Yuansong, "Does Elder Tang know what kind of poison is contained in the cooking smoke? Is there a way to solve this poison?"
"General, please wait a minute!"
Tang Yuansong arched his hand to Xiao Yu, jumped off his horse, showed his skills, and hurried towards the gate of Yicheng, and stopped until he was less than ten feet away from the gate.
After stopping, Tang Yuansong took out something from the cloth bag around his waist and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu first motioned Lin Beiwen and others to wait in place, and then moved, and the two dodged bodies came to Tang Yuansong.
Tang Yuansong suspended a three-legged tripod the size of a baby's head in front of him. The tripod slowly rotated and quickly led the cooking smoke into the tripod in a way.
As the small tripod collects more and more cooking smoke, the cooking smoke in the small tripod slowly changed from gray to black.
When a drop of black ** appeared in the tripod, Tang Yuansong opened his eyes.
After getting up, Tang Yuansong stared at the black color in the small tripod for a while, carefully sent the little tripod in front of him, took a breath, and then said to Xiao Yu, "The cooking smoke contains three kinds of poisons: aconite, ghost heart lotus and ground spider poison. The aconite grass will make people lose strength, and the ghost lotus will make people drowsy, and the ground is cloudy. Spider poison will slow down the true qi of the practitioner.
Xiao Yu nodded, looked at Tang Yuansong and asked, "Do you have a way to resolve these three poisons?"
Tang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not difficult to resolve these three poisons, but without the right medicine, Yuan Song alone can't guarantee the safe passage of the army through Yicheng."
"I understand!"
After frowning and meditating for a while, Xiao Yu said in a low voice to Tang Yuansong, "Let's go to the city and have a look!"
"Yes!"
Did not forcibly open the gate, but directly crossed the city wall and entered Yicheng.
There is no cooking smoke in all the courtyards within two hundred feet of the city gate, while those courtyards two hundred feet away from the city gate are emitting extremely strong smoke.
Xiao Yu and Tang Yuansong entered a courtyard and found that the smoke came out of a pile of fires without flames in the courtyard.
After carefully sensing the breath in the courtyard, Xiao Yu found that the courtyard with twelve rooms was empty.
"Shao Jing is also a little human!"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and walked out of the yard with Tang Yuansong.
After a while, the two saw the first pharmacy.
As Xiao Yu and Tang Yuansong guessed before, there is no herbal medicine in the pharmacy, not to mention the herbs that can solve the three poisons of aconicum, ghost heart lotus and ground yin spider poison.
"General, shall we continue to walk into the city?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said to Tang Yuansong, "You go back first. I'll go to the south gate to have a look."
After saying this, Xiao Yu showed her body and walked towards the location of the south gate of Yicheng.
Before reaching the Nancheng Gate, Xiao Yu stopped in front of a large square with a length and width of nearly a hundred feet.
This big square should be a place where people in Yicheng celebrate and sacrifice to the gods during the holidays. However, at this time, there are more than 30,000 people lying crookedly.
Although only a small part of the more than 30,000 people are covered with blood, this scene still looks very miserable.
Xiao Yu's heart sank, her body moved, and she came to the big square.
After a condensing, Xiao Yu found that except for those strong young people, the rest of the people had lost their vitality.
In Xiao Yu's consciousness, only the wolf can lead those grassland people to kill ordinary people, but now the scene in front of him makes him understand that there are also such inhumanized people among Xia people.
A red light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and all the uncontrollable murderous gas on her body was released, dispersing a lot of the gray-white aura around her.
For a long time, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous spirit in her heart.
After a glance around, Xiao Yu walked to a big tree more than three feet high, first cut off the branches and leaves with a red lotus sword, then put down the trunk, fixed more than 30 young people with vitality on the trunk, grabbed the trunk in the middle of the trunk, raised the trunk with one hand, and walked out of the city.
After a while, Xiao Yu left Yicheng.
Seeing Xiao Yu with dozens of people with a tree trunk, everyone was stunned.
At the moment when everyone was stunned, Xiao Yu walked in front of everyone.
"Elegate Tang, please detoxify these people."
"Yes!"
Before Tang Yuansong got off the horse, Xiao Yu skillfully broke the belts of the people and appeared on the wall of Yicheng with a tree trunk nearly three feet long.
Staring at the place where Xiao Yu disappeared for a moment, Lin Beiwen said in a low voice to Shen Li, "Brother Shen, please go to the city to have a look!"
Shen Li nodded, moved his body, and chased in the direction of Xiao Yu's disappearance.
In less than half an hour, the living people in the city were transferred out of the city by Xiao Yu.
Even with the help of Xiao Yu and others, after Tang Yuansong dedued the poison for those people, it was still late at night.
Nearly 6,000 people were brought out by Xiao Yu and Shen Li, but because some people died when Tang Yuansong detoxified others, less than 5,400 people really survived.
