Chapter 299 Occupying Simon's Northwest

Ji Huanan was lying face down on the ground with a black triangular nail stuck in his back. His body was motionless and his life or death was unknown.

Nangong Min helped him up and turned him over.

His eyes were closed, his face was dark blue, his lips were purple, and he was unconscious.

"This hidden weapon is poisonous!"

At this time, someone nearby helped up the people who were hit by the dart, and they were all like Ji Huanan.

Nangong Min was very anxious and shouted: "Shoot! Kill them all!"

As soon as the military order was given, waves of crossbow arrows shot out like crazy. The soldiers were sad to see their generals and companions injured, and they shot the crossbows in their hands at the enemy with anger.

Nangong Min hugged Ji Huanan, at a loss. He was injured because he saved him. If it weren't for him, he would be...

Just as he was in a panic, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he remembered the cloth bag that Bai Li had stuffed into his hand.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it and saw several paper bags inside. One of the bags had "Detoxification Pills" written on it, and one pill could detoxify him.

After opening the paper bag, he saw more than a dozen small pills as small as soybeans inside. He immediately pinched out one and fed it to Ji Huanan.

Then he handed the paper bag to the people around him, "Here are the antidote pills, feed them quickly!"

Soon, the dozen or so people who were hit by the darts took the antidote pills, but they were still unconscious and their bodies were motionless.

"Major General Nangong, the military doctor is here, let him take a look!"

Nangong Min laid Ji Huanan flat on his back in his arms and motioned the military doctor to check on him first.

The military doctor reached out to feel the patient's pulse. After checking both hands, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He's been poisoned. Although he's been given medication to suppress the symptoms, the poison won't be eliminated for a while, so he hasn't woken up yet."

"Ask the military doctor to check on the others."

The military doctor examined all the poisoned people and gave the same explanation.

"So, has their poison been cured or not?"

"Did they take the antidote?"

"I just ate it. I don't know if it can cure this poison."

"Do you have any antidote left? Let me see it."

"No more, just finished one each."

"Where's the paper that the pills came in?"

"Here."

The military doctor took the paper wrapping the medicine, spread it out under his nose and smelled it.

After smelling it, he picked up a triangular dart that fell on the ground to check it.

After a while, he looked up and said, "This antidote is very comprehensive and can cure several types of poisons.

It just so happens that the poison dart contains the red crested antler, centipede venom, and scorpion venom, which are exactly some of them. They should be able to cure it."

"When will they wake up?"

"It depends on their physical condition. Those who are strong can wake up in half an hour, while those who are weak may have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"As long as the poison can be cured, come, carry them down and find a place for them to lie down. Send a dozen people to guard them."

Nangong Min arranged for the wounded and turned around to command the battle.

After several rounds of crossbow attacks, and with their leader Sai Yanluo dead, the defenders outside the city wall were defeated, had lost their fighting spirit, and only wanted to escape.

But Nangong Min got angry and ordered his men to bring Longxiang Arrows, put arrows on bows, and shoot at the Simon defenders who were walking away.

Thousands of extremely long-range Dragon Flying Arrows chased the fleeing defenders and shot at them, causing some of them to fall. In the end, only less than a thousand people escaped.

The battle is over and dawn has arrived.

Although they captured Chizhou City, Nangong Min was not very satisfied with the battle because there were many wounded.

But the result was good after all. People were ordered to clean up the battlefield in the city and move the corpses to a corner of the city gate. When daybreak came, the common people could be requisitioned to move them away.

Just like outside the city, we waited until dawn to clean it up.

"Young Master, please go and rest for a while!"

The private soldier of the Nangong family felt sorry for his young master, so he rushed from Qinzhou all night. During the day, he gathered information in the city, and at night he experienced a fierce battle. Even the strongest person could not bear it.

"It's okay, I'll stay on the tower, you guys can take turns to rest!"

At this time, Bai An came over with Ji Huanan.

"Uncle Ji, are you awake?"

Nangong Min went over to support him, and saw that the dark blue color on his face was gone and his lips had returned to their normal color. He thought the poison had been resolved, and he felt relieved.

"I'm fine. I was worried about lying down, so I came to check on me."

"The battle is over. Except for a thousand or so who escaped, Simon's 50,000 defenders are destroyed!"

"That's good, that's good!"

In Ji Huanan's opinion, the surprise attack method that was impossible to win actually achieved victory in Bai Li's careful plan. I just don't know what happened in Qiangzhou!

The next day, it was just dawn.

Bai Li was standing on the wall of Qiangzhou, looking towards Chizhou through a telescope.

Her telescope is the most advanced high-density ultra-long-range telescope in the end times. With the addition of an instrument, it can monitor the general situation of the moon.

It is easy for this telescope to see Chizhou, which is hundreds of miles away.

When she saw the black and red flag on the Chizhou city wall, a stone in her heart fell to the ground.

"Luo Yang, Luo Yang, Chizhou City has been captured! You and He Daniu are going to Chizhou City on horseback to deliver the message that Qiangzhou County has been taken. Take my plan and give it to Nangong Min. Remember, the sooner the better!"

"good!"

Luo Yang took the order and left without hesitation.

He felt a strange sense of pleasure in carrying out Bai Li's orders.

It seemed that only in this way could he and her have a kind of intimate connection. Otherwise, he would feel so far away from her, getting farther and farther away...

Chizhou City had just finished cleaning up the battlefield and the people were carrying the corpses outside the city to burn them when Luo Yang and his companions arrived.

"Is Marshal Bai okay? How did you get here so quickly?"

Nangong Min took the letter, first asked about Bai Li's safety, and then was surprised at the speed of the two people.

"Marshal Bai is fine!"

"It's not fast. It's still dark. Marshal Bai saw the Great Zhou flag on the city wall and ordered the two of us to hurry over. Fortunately, we didn't waste too much time."

He Daniu said with a silly smile, Luo Yang stood aside, he didn't want to talk to Nangong Min recently.

"You set out at dawn and arrived here at 9:00 PM. A 500-mile raid is fast enough!"

Only the fastest horse can travel a thousand miles a day. These two men tried their best to hurry on their journey. You can tell from the two horses whose legs are so weak that they are about to kneel down.

"Marshal Bai's quick capture of Qiangzhou County was within our plan, but also beyond our expectations."

Nangong Min exchanged a few pleasantries with the two of them, then asked them to go down and rest. He took a pen and wrote a letter, which he would bring back to them later.

Qiangzhou and Chizhou have been captured, forming a triangular force with Qinzhou, occupying the northwest of Ximeng and cutting off Ximeng's road to Dazhou and Laos.

Now, as long as they hold these three states and establish a solid rear area, it will play a vital role in the future army's rapid advance and approach the capital of Simon.

After Nangong Min finished writing his reply to Bai Li, he wrote another letter to tell his cousin Zhou Yu the whole situation here.

According to the previous plan, the troops sent by Zhou Yu later should be arriving in Qinzhou soon.
