After everyone left the house.
Hua Tuo looked at Zhu Danxi with a sad look, and said with obvious displeasure: "This time, you really screwed me over badly."
The latter stroked his beard and smiled, "Brother Hua, you can't say that. In this whole world, only you can save His Majesty."
Doctors have kind hearts and all they want is to cure diseases and save lives.
Saving Ying Yuan was equivalent to saving many people, and Hua Tuo understood this truth.
"Let's get started."
He said no more, opened his medicine box, and took out many knives.
Then, he lit the medicine furnace next to him.
Pick up the knives one by one and put them on the stove to burn them. The purpose is to kill the virus at high temperature.
Zhu Danxi sat quietly by the side, and only took action when the other party needed his help.
After a pause, he asked somewhat unsurely, "Old brother, how sure are you?"
Hearing this, Hua Tuo sighed and said, "Your Majesty has been poisoned for a long time. If it weren't for your special constitution, the poison would have already penetrated into your lungs, and no medicine would have been able to cure it.
Now... I still have about a 60% chance of success."
"Sixty percent?"
Zhu Danxi murmured, "Sixty percent isn't low at all."
As Hua Tuo disinfected the sharp blade he had used to scrape the bone, he said, “Originally, this method of removing the poison was intended to give Your Majesty Ma Fei San.
However, since His Majesty is still in a coma, there is no need to use it. Otherwise, I am afraid that taking the Ma Fei Powder will affect His Majesty's recovery from the coma."
Zhu Danxi said: "You have experience, I will listen to you."
Hua Tuo said, "Help me lift His Majesty up, and I will begin scraping the bones."
Zhu Danxi didn't say anything else, but did as he was instructed.
now.
The generals outside the house were all discussing:
"Then Hua Tuo, will he not harm Your Majesty?"
"Now, we can only trust him."
"I hope Your Majesty can survive this."
“…”
They are all waiting for news.
At this moment, everyone suddenly saw smoke rising from the top of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of war drums, horns, and shouts of fighting and killing were heard everywhere.
A scout came hurriedly and said to the soldiers, "Generals, something terrible has happened! The enemy has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and is storming the city gates!"
As soon as the words fell.
Everyone was shocked.
Hundreds of thousands?
Is the enemy crazy?
Or do you want to take the city in one fell swoop?
Everyone knew that an army of hundreds of thousands attacking a city must be a general offensive launched by the enemy.
Huo Guang looked around at everyone and said sternly, "General Lu Bu, wait here. The rest of you, follow me to the city walls to fight the enemy!"
"promise!"
They dared not hesitate at all.
Before leaving, Huo Guang instructed Lü Bu, "As soon as your Majesty has any news, send someone to the city walls immediately."
The latter responded: "Please rest assured, General."
Then they arrived at the top of the city wall.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, everyone frowned deeply.
Huo Guang subconsciously said to everyone, "It seems that this time, the enemy is serious."
Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. If you want to take Hangu Pass, you must first step over our dead bodies!"
The next moment, Huo Guang shouted, "Archers, get ready!"
When the enemy army was three hundred steps away from the city gate, he waved his hand violently.
Immediately afterwards, countless arrows flew from the top of the city wall towards the enemy.
The effective range of ancient arrows was generally around four hundred to five hundred steps.
It is said that the crossbows of the Warring States Period and the repeating crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang could shoot at a distance of about 600 to 800 steps.
Whether it is true or not is impossible to verify.
But one thing is certain: the use of crossbows and arrows reached its peak during the Warring States Period.
However, since the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of various firearms has led to the gradual withdrawal of bows and crossbows from the stage of history.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, bows and crossbows were far inferior to those of previous dynasties.
This is why hundreds of gunmen from other countries dared to attack the city.
If there were no guns and cannons in the late Qing Dynasty, but there were crossbows and arrows from the Warring States Period, it would not be so ugly.
After all, there are historical records of the Warring States Period and the Three Kingdoms Period, and arrows were shot in the tens of thousands.
No matter how powerful the guns and cannons of those few hundred people in other countries are, they can't possibly defeat twenty or thirty rounds of repeated shooting of tens of thousands of arrows, right?
From this we can see that the military power in the late Qing Dynasty was indeed in a mess.
In the blink of an eye.
The Qin army had shot at least 100,000 arrows.
A large number of enemy soldiers were knocked down by arrows and never got up again.
However, Huo Guang and his men knew that the real war had just begun.
Because the enemy is getting closer and closer to the city gate.
In the rear of the enemy's attack, Wu Qi personally led the charge.
He fixed his gaze on the top of the city wall, but still couldn't see the bright armor. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I wonder if the Emperor of Qin is dead or not."
A confidant asked, "Marshal, do you think we can capture Hangu Pass today?"
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Today's battle is mainly to find out the current situation of the Qin army."
He didn't know whether Ying Yuan was still alive.
But after just one battle, he could get a rough idea.
"Order the entire army to tear a hole through this enemy line at all costs, even if it means risking your lives!"
Wu Qi gave the order.
The soldiers of the entire army were like chickens with their blood pumped up, rushing towards Hangu Pass one after another.
