Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 257 Poisonous Smoke
Although Yangcheng is not a military important place, the city gate is several tens of feet high. After the city gate was opened a few days ago, it has been tightly closed until now.

At this time, dozens of heads that were about to be dried were hanging bloody on the tall city gate.Seeing it, it is all frightening.

In the mansion of Yangcheng Chengshou, Wei Lingxiao, who had arrived a few days ago, looked at the map in his hand with a calm expression.

"My lord, King Mingzhao has been calm these days, no matter how we provoke them, they just won't open the city gate." Guan Heyu said solemnly.They have been here for a few days, and Wei Lingxiao arranged for troops to go down to the new city with 2000 soldiers and horses to provoke him. He even scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, but King Mingzhao seemed to be completely As if he didn't know about it, there was no response at all.Of course, when they scolded, they had directly ignored that King Mingzhao had the same ancestor as Emperor Zhaowu.

"Continue until they come out." Wei Lingxiao replied without even raising his head.

He didn't believe that King Mingzhao wanted to waste time with them. Even though he now had food and grass looted from three cities, with so many people, he would definitely not last until next year.Moreover, these three cities are all in the place closest to the west, and the supplies themselves are relatively scarce. Now that there are so many more people all of a sudden, it is strange that there are enough supplies.

"My lord, this time the expedition is hasty, and we only have two months of food and grass..." They have been here for a few days, if the follow-up food and grass cannot be replenished, then...

"Then you will do everything possible to force them out." The tone was still light, as if talking about an unimportant matter.

Although Guan Heyu still frowned in some confusion, he still obeyed his orders and retreated.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wei Lingxiao threw the place in his hand on the table, closed his eyes and stretched out his hands to rub the center of his brows with a tired look.

It's been almost ten days, and he still hasn't found Lan'er. He tried his best to keep calm these days, but only he knows that the anxiety in his heart can't be healed no matter what.

He is almost at the limit of his patience!

"My lord, the Xincheng rebels have left the city to fight back." A guard's announcement sounded outside the door.

"Tell Deputy General Guan, run if you can't fight." When he opened his black eyes again, the bottom of his eyes was already dark, but the brief order was full of chill.

The soldier was slightly surprised, but still said loudly: "Yes."

Guan Heyu led the troops to provoke the guards of the new city, just like eating three meals a day. Often the first group of people just came back for lunch, and the latter group was always ready, rushing when the opponent thought they were retreating again. go out.

This cat-and-mouse tactic was used for three days in a row until King Ming Zhao in the new city became impatient and irritable.

In the mansion of Xincheng Chengshou, King Mingzhao and Wei Mingyang in black robes listened to his subordinate's report with a dark face, his fists clenched "quack".

"General Zhao and his team went out to fight back, but those people retreated shortly after the fight. General Zhao was afraid of being cheated, so he didn't dare to chase far away. It has been several days since he went back and forth like this."

King Ming Zhao turned around, and his sandbag-sized fist hit the table with a "bang", the table fell apart instantly, and the whole room felt vibrated.

King Mingzhao has thick brows and big eyes, and those bright eyes remind people of the lonely king, Cheetah.He is tall and has a beard all over his face. He is completely different from the frail King Ming Zhao who left Bianjing back then.If he stood in front of Emperor Zhaowu now, perhaps Emperor Zhaowu would not be able to recognize the person in front of him. It was Wei Mingyang who worked so hard for the throne back then, and he looked no different from a bandit.

"You little bastard. They want to lure the snake out of the hole. They didn't make any preparations for this expedition. There must be many aspects that have not been properly arranged in a hurry. They want to make a quick decision, thinking that the king is so easy to defeat! Tomorrow When they come again in the morning, let General Zhao lead 20 soldiers and horses to chase them out, and let this king kill all of them!" King Ming Zhao has been in the barracks all these years, and he has already acquired some habits in the army. Thousands of soldiers and horses were trained by him over the years.

Although King Mingzhao was driven to the west, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, but it was actually quite difficult to secretly raise 20 soldiers and horses without being discovered, so he secretly separated these soldiers and horses to Lincheng, Xincheng In two cities.This is also one of the reasons why he was able to break through the city so quickly this time.

Cooperating with the inside and the outside, he was caught off guard again, and the city guards of the two cities were all useless, which made him take the two cities down so quickly.

"However, if they are setting a trap..." The lieutenant hesitated a bit. If it was a trap, they would probably lose a general and [-] troops.Originally, they didn't have too many soldiers and horses, so it was impossible to say that they had no worries.

"It's even better if it's a trap. This king expects them to set up a trap." King Ming Zhao's bearded corner of his mouth outlined a cold smile, and the deputy general couldn't help shivering.

On this day, Guan Heyu rushed to the gate of the new city with [-] soldiers and horses after waking up early in the morning. It can be said that he played in different ways every day, even the words used for cursing people were different.If Ning Erlan was here, he would definitely sigh that this person's versatility is really amazing.

"What a bullying King Mingzhao, the emperor kindly released you back then, but he let the tiger go back to the mountain. You have endured it in this remote place for so many years. You are used to being the grandson of a turtle, right? just come out..."

On the city gate, a tall but burly man heard the underground curse words, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. "A group of cubs who haven't even sprung up yet dare to shout in front of the uncle. Seeing that the uncle will not be too old for a while, your parents won't even know each other!"

"General Zhao, the prince asked you to bring [-] troops to fight."

"Okay, I'll go play them to death!"

Under the city gate, although Guan Heyu let the soldiers shout and scold him, he was always prepared for the movement in the city.

After they scolded for less than half an hour, there was the faint sound of "bang bang" from the city gate, as well as the sound of horseshoes kicking.The 2000 people he brought here are all cavalry, and if the situation is not right for a while, they will run faster.Today, Wei Lingxiao specially asked them to replace them with the fastest [-] horses in the barracks.

The big city gate "quack quack" opened, and the team headed by General Zhao rushed out, and came towards Guan Heyu and the others without saying a word.

"Ready to fight." Guan Heyu shouted loudly.The people behind them divided into groups of five at the fastest speed, forming a small encirclement that was invulnerable to the front and back, and kept a certain distance to ensure that they would not hurt their own people when they swung their weapons.

Guan Heyu saw that there were obviously many more people coming out this time than before, the playful sarcasm dropped from his face, and he looked warily at General Zhao who rushed to the front.

This time, their original combat time was half a quarter of an hour.

"Come on..."

When the two soldiers met, the harsh sound of sharp weapons colliding and the cry of bloody fighting rang in my ears.

General Zhao swung a double-sided broadsword that weighed several tens of kilograms and slashed, his eyes were stained red with blood, and the jumping flames carried the excitement of killing.

Guan Heyu wanted to test General Zhao, so he stepped forward. After dozens of moves, neither side gained the slightest advantage.

At this moment, the trombone sounded not far away, which was their order to retreat.

The spear in Guan Heyu's hand stabbed at General Zhao's horse, which was blinded and screamed in pain.General Zhao was furious and wanted to fight back, but Guan Heyu had already turned around and ran away.

"Chase! We must kill all these little bastards today."

Guan Heyu ran ahead, and looked back at General Zhao, who was chasing him, and frowned. Aren't these people afraid that they have an ambush ahead?

At this moment, he felt a tail wind blowing from behind, which made it less difficult for them to escape.But before they ran a few miles, they saw a puff of yellow smoke blowing towards them behind them.

At the beginning, they didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was the smoke and dust raised by the horses, but when he saw some backward soldiers falling off the horses, he realized that something was wrong!

That smoke is poisonous!

"Spread out! Run to the headwind!" Guan Heyu raised his whip and slammed his horse's buttocks fiercely, accumulating his internal strength and shouted to the soldiers running back.

Timely obedience to orders is the consciousness that every soldier must have. All those who heard Guan Heyu's shout ran towards the direction of the headwind.

Because of the headwind, the yellow smoke behind him did not blow up so fast, which saved many soldiers' lives.

General Zhao stopped after seeing Guan Heyu and the others turned around.Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that each of their faces was covered with a cloth.They had already taken the antidote beforehand, so the poisonous smoke could not harm them, but inhaling too much would still affect their bodies, so they had to cover it with a cloth towel.

General Zhao looked at Guan Heyu who was running away in a panic, laughed and went back to the city.

Guan Heyu ran in the team, running against the wind would be much farther than the original distance, but they still insisted on running against the wind.It wasn't until he could no longer see the yellow smoke behind him that he turned around and ran towards Yangcheng.

Yangcheng Chengshou's study was used as a meeting room.

At this time, in the meeting room.

Guan Heyu stood in the study in a bit of a state of embarrassment, his expression more solemn than the previous few days.

"My lord, we lost nearly a thousand people this time. The yellow smoke is poisonous. I'm afraid that if they use this poisonous smoke in a large-scale war..." It's really like a stewed mouse, with nowhere to hide hide.

Wei Lingxiao tapped the table with his fingertips, his brows slightly lowered, as if he was thinking.

"Go and let Dr. Shen see what kind of poison this is, and whether an antidote can be made in a short period of time."
