Chapter 311 Shen Xiangwan takes action
"...Zhang Qing, go help me see how far away the nearest Western Hu people are from us."
Her eyes swept over them one by one, Shen Xiangwan sighed helplessly in her heart, and ordered one of the guards in a deep voice that she really was not causing trouble, and the soldiers had to rest.
"yes."
Seeing that she no longer insisted on approaching, Zhang Qing, who had been called out, strode towards the wall. After carefully observing the situation below, he quickly returned and said, "Madam, the Western Hu troops closest to the tower are about 400 meters away. The four groups of Western Hu troops attacking the city are advancing at a similar speed."
"Um."
Four hundred meters is really an extremely embarrassing distance.
Shen Xiangwan lowered her eyes and thought. She wanted to devour this group of Western Hu people attacking the city. The best way was of course to use poison. However, even if she determined the wind direction, poison would not have eyes. Their people were all piled up on the city wall. It would be bad if one of their own people was hurt. Of course, she could let everyone take the antidote first, but the problem was, how could she have so many antidotes?
We can only use targeted poisoning!
After a moment, Shen Xiangwan raised his head again, his eyes filled with unmistakable murderous intent: "Uncle Yan, do you want to eat up this wave of siege troops from the Western Hu people?"
"Um?"
Yan Lang was stunned for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Do you have a solution?"
If possible, of course he thought, as I said before, only by beating the Western Hu people hard and frightening them would they not attack the city so intensively and not give them any chance to rest.
"Um."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan met his eyes and continued, "I need ten archers. They don't have to hit the target every time, but they must be able to shoot arrows far enough."
"Are you preparing..."
Yan Lang's voice faltered, vaguely guessing what she was about to do. "It was open country out there. Even if her poison was powerful, it wouldn't be possible to kill all those Western Hu people, right? Furthermore, wouldn't the poison kill their own soldiers in the process? They couldn't afford to kill a thousand enemies and only lose eight hundred of their own."
"Don't worry, I'm 80% sure."
Knowing that he had guessed it, Shen Xiangwan didn't keep him in suspense: "As long as the archers can deliver the poison to where it should go according to my instructions, I can ensure that our own people will not be harmed and all the attackers of the Western Hu people will be completely eaten."
No one knows better than her how terrifying her poison is. If it was a melee between two armies, she might really be helpless, but the current situation is that the Western Hu people are attacking the city alone, so don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless and knocking them all down at once.
"good."
Thinking about the arrogant Western Hu people who slaughtered civilians at will, and then thinking about the soldiers who had no time to rest and were still desperately defending the city, Yan Lang gritted his teeth and agreed. As long as their own people would not be hurt, an 80% chance of success was enough for them to take a gamble.
"Madam, Uncle Yan, there's no need to look for us. We are the best archers."
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, one of the guards spoke in a deep voice, and the other guards nodded in agreement. They were also soldiers in the army, and the best soldiers at that. They were proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and each of them could shoot an arrow through the air from a hundred paces away. In addition, they also had internal strength. Even if the lady wanted to send the arrow a thousand meters away, it would be an easy task for them.
"very good."
It would be best if they were willing to help. Shen Xiangwan took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it to Zhang Qing: "This is the antidote. Each of you can take one first."
"yes."
Catching the porcelain bottle, Zhang Qing poured out a pill and put it into his mouth, then handed the porcelain bottle to others.
Shen Xiangwan said nothing more and walked straight to the soldier closest to them. She grabbed several handfuls of arrows from the basket full of arrows at his feet, probably thirty or forty arrows. Just as she was about to turn around with them, Yuan Yue stepped forward and took the arrows. She grew up on the border and had seen the prince and his men lead troops to fight against the Qiang State many times, but she had never seen such a difficult battle like the Wei family army was facing at this time. They were completely passive and had no initiative at all. Therefore, while ensuring the safety of her lady, she did not mind doing her part, at least to buy them some time to rest.
"Uncle Yan, ask the soldiers to make room for us."
The walls of the city tower were densely packed with soldiers, leaving no room for them to intervene. Shen Xiangwan had no choice but to ask Yan Lang for help.
"Um."
Yan Lang quickly called the general in charge of defending the city and asked him to clear a three-meter-wide area of ground, but Shen Xiangwan felt that it was not enough: "It should be at least ten meters, otherwise it is very likely that our own people will be injured by mistake."
As she said, poison has no eyes. Although she was confident that they would not hurt their own people by mistake, if the soldiers got too close to them, she could not guarantee that they would be unharmed.
"Military Advisor, he is..."
The general defending the city was obviously dissatisfied, pointing at Shen Xiangwan and asking hesitantly.
"She is the Second Master's wife, do as she asks."
"yes."
Yan Lang's face darkened. Upon hearing this, the soldiers defending the city no longer dared to hesitate and quickly cleared a large area.
"Uncle Yan, Yuanyue, each of you take one of the remaining antidotes."
It should be impossible to keep them away, so Chen Xiangwan didn't waste any words. As he spoke, he took out a needle and thread and some cotton cloth, cut them into pieces of different sizes, and asked Yuanyue to sew them into small cloth bags with pull-out holes on them. Then he took out a porcelain bottle and poured the poison powder inside into the cloth bags.
After tying them all to the arrows, Shen Xiangwan stood up and took out a box of medical rubber gloves and gave a pair to each of the guards. At this time, the four teams of Western Hu people attacking the city were only about 200 meters away from them, and the remaining team of archers seemed to have moved closer.
"The rest is up to you. You don't have to cum on them, just cum into their group."
Looking at the Western Hu troops approaching below, after testing the wind direction, Shen Xiangwan's lips curled up into a bloodthirsty arc.
"yes."
Led by Zhang Qing, dozens of guards successively drew their bows and shot arrows in different directions. According to Shen Xiangwan's instructions, the poisoned arrows fell on the front, middle and back areas of the Western Hu team respectively, and even the archer team at the back was not missed.
“Ahh…”
"hiss···"
After a while, the effect of the medicine took effect. Whether the Western Hu people were attacking the city or shooting arrows, they all fell off their horses screaming. Moreover, their war horses were also poisoned. They didn't care whether the people on the ground were their owners or not. They roared and trampled on them. Many Western Hu people did not die from the poison, but were trampled to death by their own war horses.
"What's going on? What happened to those bastards?"
"Poisoned? No way? Who poisoned it?"
"You deserve it, damn it, for being so arrogant and for harming the people..."
“God has shown his power…”
The Western Hu army was in chaos. They wanted to run, but they were poisoned and bleeding from all seven orifices. They could not run far at all. In addition, the war horses were rushing around like crazy. For a moment, the outside of the city wall was like hell on earth, and more than ten thousand people were roaring in pain. Under normal circumstances, seeing such a tragic scene, even the most hard-hearted person would feel some pity, but now, the soldiers on the city wall were all cheering, and no one sympathized with the Western Hu people. No matter what era, invaders are not worthy of sympathy, especially invaders who do not treat civilians as human beings and kill and slaughter them at will.
"military adviser."
The generals, who had vaguely guessed something, trotted towards them one after another. Shen Xiangwan had already cleaned up the area and was now standing by the wall, looking down coldly at the miserable plight of the Western Hu people. In less than an incense stick of time, they were almost all dead, with only a few still rolling on the ground wailing, and their horses had also fallen.
"Pass the order down, leave 2,000 men to defend the city, and all others go back to rest."
It's not that he didn't know what they wanted to ask, but Yan Lang didn't give them a chance. The Western Hu people should receive the news soon, and they should not attack rashly before they understand the situation clearly. This is the opportunity Wanwan has fought for them, and they must seize the time to rest in order to prepare for the next counterattack from the Western Hu people.
"yes."
Looking at him and then at Shen Xiangwan who had her back to them, several generals bowed and retreated. Everyone felt a little more wary of their wives.
"Leave this to the soldiers. Wanwan, shall we go back to the commander's tent first?"
The screams below gradually disappeared. There was no doubt that more than 10,000 Western Hu people had all died. Before this, Yan Lang had not thought that Shen Xiangwan's poison was so powerful that it could have such a great effect in the open ground.
"Um."
She had done what she could, and the rest was up to the soldiers. Shen Xiangwan had no interest in staying any longer, so she turned around and went down the city wall with him. Yuan Yue and the guards who followed them couldn't help but look back at the bottom of the city wall before leaving. Although they had known for a long time that the lady's poison was terrible, they never dreamed that it would be so horrible. More than ten thousand people, in less than half an hour, not a single one survived, and their horses were also poisoned to death!
