Cifengque

Songzi City.

After estimating that the opera had been sung enough, Jun Ci tied up a few details and assembled officers above the deputy level: "Recently, the entire army has been suffering from diarrhea. I thought it was caused by the wind and cold. Today, it was found out that it was the army. There are detailed works in it!"

For several days in succession, more and more people suffered from diarrhea, and there was no medicine to cure them, so they had to suffer bitterly.

They had to send people to the deep mountains in the direction of Yidu to pick them. The medicinal materials they picked were a drop in the bucket, and they could barely support Qin Xiao and others who wanted to mobilize the whole army.

The Southern Dynasty army seemed to have sensed the eagerness of the Central Guards, no longer limited to siege, and began to make small-scale invasions.

This undoubtedly made the Central Guard even more anxious.

Jun Ci chooses to execute people in front of the whole army at this time, which is to remove an unknown hidden worry in their hearts. At least from now on, they will no longer worry about their illness getting worse, and those who have already experienced it will not have to worry about their own relapse. Was plotted against.

"You don't have to worry, I have found a batch of medicinal materials, and they will be delivered in a few days." Junci gave another reassurance.

In an instant, the sorrowful clouds on everyone's faces were swept away, and everyone's eyes were full of hope, and their lifeless eyes also came alive.

Coincidentally, Chen Chen, who was sent out by Junci, came on horseback just at this time, shouting: "General, luckily, the medicine is found!"

Soon, two carriages escorted a pile of medicinal materials, and entered through the north gate in the eyes 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. After two hours, each of the guards in the army 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 it even removes the root."

"Yes, after drinking the medicine, I am not tired at all."

"It's strange, I'm not only not tired, but suddenly I have gained some energy."

……

Discussions filled every corner of Songzi City.

Naturally, they didn't know that their diarrhea was caused by Junci's specially prepared medicine and sprinkled it in the soup.

Most of these medicines are compatible with tonic medicines and become a unique nourishing product. During the nourishing process, some impurities in the body will be eliminated, causing diarrhea.

If it's not really sick, it won't hurt the root cause, but it can strengthen the root and cultivate the source.

"It's cheap for these brats." Wu Zheng couldn't help muttering when he was done.

As Junci's confidantes, they are people who know the truth, and the amount they take is several times that of these people. Some of the medicinal materials in it are expensive and rare.

If Lin Zhihuan hadn't been traveling all over the country for several years, he might not have found the way to buy everything.

If this is the case, there is not much that Lin Zhihuan can provide, so Jun Ci can only make soldiers "diarrhea" batch after batch.

"While the strength of the medicine has not dissipated, it's better to practice 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-scale "diarrhea" of the soldiers, they have not practiced well.

They were hiding in the county office and sweating profusely. Jun Ci said that during the period of taking the medicine, the harder he trained, the more he could integrate the medicine's effects into his body.

Wu Zheng hurriedly followed Qin Xiao, but Jun Ci's painstaking efforts could not be wasted, he wanted to train his subordinates hard.

A moment ago they were discussing with each other that they were a blessing in disguise, but after being ill, their bones became lighter and their strength increased a little, and the next moment they were taken out in batches to practice heartily, as if they wanted to make up for the loss of the past few days. .

Songzi City now only has the Central Guard Army, and they can use it wherever they want. Wu Zheng even led his group of people to run around Songzi City.

Lan An and Xiao Liu took their men out of the north city gate and ran towards the mountains.

The two cooperated, and at sunset and dusk, more than 2000 people returned to the city with a lot of prey and some wild fruits.

The fine work was eliminated, the long illness was cured, and the body felt no discomfort, and the Central Guard Army was alive and well again.

Roasted meat, bone broth, steamed buns with white noodles, all of which are mouth-watering.

Junci simply asked people to open the last batch of wine, everyone got a bowl, drank it down, and the faces with relaxed eyebrows were full of aftertaste satisfaction.

No one will know about the changes in Songzi City after the city gates are closed and the secret works are pulled out.

After a full meal, the rumbling sound of falling in the middle of the night followed the vibration of the ground, like an earth dragon turning over.

The horn of the enemy's attack on the city tower sounded, and the urgent drums of war sounded.

"These old thieves really took advantage of the night to attack!" Wu Zheng ran out cursing and holding a spear.

"According to the general's orders." Qin Xiao and Wu Zheng shared the same room, and they stayed together.

These days, they are all adjusting their battle plans.

Finally, the plan to invite you into the urn has been finalized!

The whole army was well-trained and assembled under Gao Yu's band, waving the flag bearer.

Qin Xiao only brought a few people up to the tower.

Under the night, clusters of torches sway in the wind, like wolves in the dark.

Most of the flaming arrows flew over the wall, and occasionally one or two could still affect the archers on the wall.

On the city tower, the strong counterattack of the archers slowed down the speed of the Southern Dynasty army attacking the city gate.

However, the number of Southern Dynasties was really too large. When besieging them before, there were 8000 people in one group and one round every three days. Now it seems that more than [-] people have gathered.

The first batch of arrows hadn't completely landed yet, and the second batch followed closely. This was a speed that the Central Guards couldn't keep up with.

Under Yuan Duo's command, the Southern Dynasty army below cooperated tacitly, switched formations quickly, and cleverly avoided all the counterattacks on the towers. They advanced in an orderly manner, getting closer and closer to the gate of the city.

The resistance on the towers is getting weaker and weaker. They should be short of food, sick and weak, and 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 rams came slowly, 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 besiegers intended to stick to the base of the wall and climb up, but at this point, the Central Guards stood guard, and no one climbed up.

The solid city gate had already experienced several battles and had no chance to take a breather for repairs, so it was extremely fragile. It was knocked open after only seven or eight hits.

The moment the city gate was knocked open, a horn sounded on the tower to order the retreat, and the Central Guard retreated hastily.

When Yuan Duo led his people into Songzi City, he could only see countless torches divided into several teams galloping towards the north gate from different directions.

He immediately ordered: "The Marquis of Xiangxi leads [-] troops to pursue from the left, Song Commander leads [-] troops to pursue from the right, and the rest follow me to pursue from the middle. Be sure to kill them all in Songzi City!"

The [-] army was divided into three groups, riding tall horses to chase the fire ahead.

They quickly circled into the center of the city, and while they were staring at the fire ahead, a sharp arrow shot out from the darkened house.
