Chapter 262 The Elixir Has Arrived
2 Su Bowen's loud roar awakened the blood in the soldiers' bones. They all stood up with their weapons tightly in their hands, shouting over and over again: "We would rather die in battle than retreat!"
The sonorous shouts spread from one to ten, and then to a hundred. The whole city wall was filled with everyone's shouts, which were tragic and passionate.
When the soldiers of Dayin arrived at the city, the soldiers of Dashuo were already prepared.
Since they had no physical strength to fight, they could only use cleverness.
The soldiers kept throwing the giant Large rocks were thrown under the city, hitting the animals and forcing the Dayin soldiers to retreat.
Just when they were caught off guard and in chaos, Su Bowen sent out archers again, and arrows rained down on the enemy ranks, causing the soldiers in the camp to wail. After
two rounds of attacks, the morale of the Dayin army was completely worn out, and they no longer had the momentum to win.
A deputy general asked, "General, I'm afraid our intelligence is wrong. I think the Dashuo soldiers are more courageous than before, and they don't look like they are all sick! "
The Great Yin general Jabal was anxious and angry when he saw his soldiers in chaos. He waved his sword and said, "Brothers, the Great Shuo soldiers are fighting desperately. They are all infected with the plague and are exhausted. As long as we hold on a little longer, they will collapse! Line up and charge!" As soon as
Jabal's words came out, the Great Yin soldiers quickly adjusted their status. The shield army quickly moved forward to form a wall to cover the orderly advancement of the siege soldiers.
Su Bowen ordered everyone to throw boulders again, but the stones fell on the solid shields and rolled down directly.
The archers' arrows could not hurt the Great Yin soldiers at all.
This round of powerful attack consumed too much energy of the Great Shuo soldiers.
The soldiers of Dayin held on for a while, shooting arrows at the soldiers on the wall while quickly building ladders and organizing people to attack the city.
This time, their attack was very swift and soon someone reached the wall. Su
Bowen personally led the soldiers to defend the wall. Waves of people fell and another wave of people came up.
They were the Dashuo Son, even if there is only one man left in the battle, never retreat.
Su Bowen swung his sword and chopped off the heads of the enemy soldiers who had just climbed up the city wall, just like chopping watermelons.
Xu Li held the silver needles in his hand and exerted force on his wrist. The needles flew out like flowers from heaven. Before blood could be seen, countless enemy soldiers fell down.
Song Qing was born a thief, and his body skills were unparalleled. He Holding a short knife, he shuttled back and forth in the enemy group. After one circle, the people around him fell down.
But he was outnumbered in the end. He was slashed on the shoulder, but he was so bloodthirsty that he didn't feel it.
Seeing that he was surrounded, Zhuang Dali rushed over in two steps, crushing many people to death with a mountain.
Song Qing smiled and said, "Dali, you didn't eat all the rice in vain! "
Zhuang Dali chuckled, picked up the enemy soldiers around him with his bare hands, and
rushed towards the city wall. They killed so many people that they couldn't lift their arms, but the enemy seemed to be endless, and they kept rushing up. They really couldn't hold on any longer.
Seeing that the city wall was about to fall, Xu Li blocked Su Bowen and said, "General, I will cover you, you retreat first!"
Su Bowen kicked an enemy soldier over, chopped off the head of an enemy soldier with a knife, and said in a deep voice: "In front of the enemy, as the commander, I should lead the way!"
"But you still have three children? "Xu Li was still persuading.
"Don't you have elderly parents waiting for you to go home? Who among the brothers present doesn't have a family? Brothers, fight for your family!"
Su Bowen shouted, stepped over the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and went to meet the enemy!
"Fight with them!" Zhuang Dazhuang also shouted and followed.
The other Su family soldiers also responded and launched a hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of Dayin with a huge disparity in strength.
Seeing that their commander was ready to die and fought bloody battles, the other soldiers were infected. Relying on the beliefs in their hearts, they dragged their tired bodies, raised their swords, and slashed at the enemy.
Although the enemy was numerous and we were few, they were determined to die, and the Dayin army was beaten back again. , the city was temporarily defended!
Su Bowen was covered in blood, and his armor was soaked. Those were all the blood of the enemy.
Xu Li led everyone to clean up the battlefield and carried the wounded brothers down from the city wall.
Su Bowen looked at the city wall stained with blood, thinking that his life would be over here, but it was worth it to be able to kill another wave of enemies!
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves from the back, and looking at the flag, it was the cavalry of Dashuo.
"Report, the cavalry has been ordered to transport medicines, please check it, General Su! "
This voice cheered up everyone present. Medicine, the cavalry from the capital has brought them medicine.
Xu Li trotted to pass the news to Su Bowen, and Su Bowen walked down the city quickly. If the plague can be cured, they will definitely be able to defend the city.
There were more than ten cavalrymen in this pair. They were lightly equipped and each carried a huge package.
Upon meeting Su Bowen, the leading officer Zhang made a military salute and said, "General Su, Princess Anle has found a miraculous medicine to control the plague. The Imperial Hospital and Su Zhushi of the Ministry of Rites have cooperated to expedite the production of the first batch of pills. All of them will be sent to the western border. Please inspect them, General Su! "
Su Bowen looked at the few of them and felt a little worried, and asked, "How many people are these medicines enough for? Almost everyone in the Western Territory is infected, and a large amount of medicine is needed!"
The captain said, "In order to facilitate transportation, the dosage of this medicine is enough. You only need to take one pill a day, and you will recover in three days at most. There are nearly 100,000 medicines here, and the second batch will be delivered tomorrow at the latest. As for how to distribute them, the emperor has said it is up to you to decide. "
When Su Bowen heard that there were nearly 100,000 pills, he immediately had an idea.
Half of these medicines would be sent to the Western Border Government Office, and local officials would distribute them to seriously ill patients first, and the rest would be collected tomorrow.
The remaining 50,000 pills would be distributed first to the injured brothers, and the rest would be distributed according to the severity of the symptoms.
In addition, he asked everyone to stay alert and prepare for the next round of counterattack by the enemy.
After arranging these, he said to Captain Zhang, "The Great Yin is eyeing us covetously, and we can't leave here. Please ask Captain Zhang to bring the brothers to the city to assist the prefect in distributing the pills!"
Su Bowen could command these soldiers, and he was worried that everyone would scramble to stay alive, so he needed several people to watch over them.
Zhang Canling wanted to stay and kill the enemy with Su Bowen, but Su Bowen was right. It was easy to cause chaos when distributing medicines in the city. He should not refuse this matter for both public and private reasons. Zhang Canling
took out another gourd and said, "Since General Su has given the order, I will do it now. This is what Princess Anle asked me to bring to you. The princess said that for plague, use pills, and for external injuries, use this!"
Su Bowen took the gourd and couldn't help laughing. No wonder it looked so familiar. It was his wine gourd.
He shook the gourd and said doubtfully, "Can the things in it cure injuries?"
Su Bowen opened it and saw that the smell of wine was still there, and the wine had been replaced with medicine powder.
He waved to Song Qing: "Song Qing, come here, you are injured, come and try the medicine my daughter gave you!"
