Nie Zha, half asleep, saw that she was still asleep and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" Ye Wan smiled and said, "Hate it! You just hurt me." After hearing this, Nie Zha hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Sorry, I'll be gentler next time. Go to sleep."
As for Tong Hong, luckily they brought a batch of medicine when they came. Now the people in the city with low fever have recovered. Only those with dark skin are still alive. With the pills developed by Tong Wen Yao and the doctor's acupuncture, although most of the people cannot be saved, two or three out of ten people can be saved, which is already pretty good. You have to know that in the previous plague, if only one person in the village was infected, the whole village would be wiped out!
Now that they can effectively control the plague, it is a blessing for their country and the people.
Guo Xin found Tong Hong and said, "We've already sent soldiers to guard the city gate for two days, and the barbarians haven't made any movement. Shouldn't we need so many people guarding it?" Tong Hong said, "No, we can keep the number of people during the day, but we'll need to send more people at night! We might have a tough battle tonight, so let the soldiers rest now."
Guo Xin was a little skeptical, but seeing the serious expression on his face, he gave the order. He didn't dare to gamble. If the barbarians broke into the city under his supervision, then his entire family's lives would be lost along with him!
Fortunately, he did not pretend to obey, otherwise the city would have been broken by the barbarians.
At midnight that night, the barbarian army secretly arrived at the outskirts of the city. Looking at the three-meter-high city wall, Nie Zha commanded from the side, "One group will attack the main city gate, and another will attack the southwest gate. This southwest gate was also the weakest point when the epidemic started."
At this time, Ye Wan came up and said, "Sir, I think it's not feasible to attack from the southwest gate. Since there is an epidemic at the southwest gate, they will definitely send more people to inspect it. Why don't we destroy the riverbank upstream of the southwest gate and let the water flood in from the southwest gate. Then we can launch the attack from the south gate?"
When Nie Zha heard this, he immediately put his arm around her waist and laughed heartily, "That's a good idea. Let's do as she says!"
After hearing this, the subordinates exchanged glances before agreeing! They hadn't expected the eldest prince to be so fond of this woman, even letting her participate this time. This was a matter of life and death, but the eldest prince actually listened to her. It seemed like they had to be more respectful to her in the future.
After leaving the tent, the barbarians sent people from three groups. The first group went to destroy the river embankment in the southwest upper reaches. The second group waited for a quarter of an hour to launch an attack at the main city gate. After that, the main force of their army would attack from the south gate!
Inside Dongsai City, the guards standing at the city gate grumbled, "I don't think these two barbarians will come, so why do we still have to guard here?"
Another person hissed softly, "Stop talking. When they come to take over, we'll be free."
After hearing this, he became even more dissatisfied and said, "General Tong has already been demoted, why is Lord Guo still listening to him now?"
After hearing the bad words about General Tong, he felt uncomfortable and said, "Brother, I know you are new here and not familiar with General Tong, but General Tong will not do useless work, just keep guard!"
Seeing that he didn't stand in the same team with him, he knocked the ground with his spear in dissatisfaction!
After seeing this, he pretended not to notice and instead looked towards the outskirts. Suddenly, he noticed a person moving stealthily, and even a number of shadows moving behind them! Because there were braziers burning in the outskirts, it was the shadows moving there. Thinking of General Tong's words that the barbarians would be coming in a few days, he immediately shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The people next to him followed his gaze and saw a black shadow moving in front of them. They immediately became energetic and ran to the main stage to beat the war drum.
The heavy drumbeats reached everyone in the city. This sound was the drumbeat of an enemy attack! The soldiers who had been sleeping in the army camp immediately jumped up and began to put on their clothes. Soon, a group of guards gathered in the large parade ground. Tong Hong brought Tong Wenyao and Wen Ziyu over.
When Guo Xin saw this, he quickly invited General Tong into the hall and started discussing with him!
Guo Xin looked at Tong Hong with admiration in his eyes and said, "Brother Tong, you are so wise. The barbarians will launch an attack tonight."
Tong Hong was not so optimistic after hearing this. He asked, "Did the vanguard soldiers find out who is leading the enemy troops?"
Guo Xin said, "It's the great prince of the barbarians, Nie Zha!" After hearing this, Tong Hong knocked on the table and said, "Nie Zha will not just attack the main city gate when he leads his troops, he will also attack that place!"
Wen Ziyu said from the side, "Sir, I suspect they may attack from the southwest gate, as that's where the epidemic started."
After hearing this, Tong Wenyao said, "I don't think so. If they come in from the southwest, their soldiers will also be infected with the disease. I don't think they will take such a big risk to come in through the southwest gate."
Although there were many people infected with the epidemic at the Southwest Gate, and many soldiers went to the Southwest to treat them, Tong Wenyao intuitively felt that they would not take the risk.
Tong Hong felt relieved when he saw his two young men had their own ideas. However, someone outside the door reported: "Changshangba has been occupied by barbarians. Request for support!"
After hearing this, Guo Xin said, "This isn't a famine year for the barbarians, so why are they occupying the reservoir for no reason?"
After hearing this, Tong Hong said directly: "Not good!"
Wen Ziyu seemed to have thought of something and pointed to the map on the table and said, "The Southwest Gate is below the reservoir. If the barbarians destroy the riverbank, then Southwest City will be flooded!"
By then, the epidemic will become more prevalent in the city.
"Immediately relocate the people in the southwest and activate the second flood control system in Southwest City!"
Guo Xin also saw the barbarian's plan and immediately ordered Lü Gu to mobilize troops! The battlefield could change at any time, and scouts kept coming back to report!
"Report! The flood at the southwest gate has reached the city gate..."
"Report! The second flood control gate at the southwest gate has been opened!"
After a while, the scout came back to report, "A large number of barbarians have appeared at the south gate. Judging from the sound of their horses and men, there are about 30,000 soldiers!"
"Report! South Gate is short-staffed and needs support!"
Tong Wenyao stepped forward and said, "I am willing to lead the troops forward!" Wen Ziyu followed closely behind him and said, "I am also willing to go to the battlefield and fight the barbarians to the death!"
Guo Xin looked at the two people in front of him with fighting spirit in their eyes, and suddenly remembered that he was also a young and fearless person. Since they want to go, then let them go to the battlefield!
He said, "You two are new here, so I can't lead your troops right away. You should do your best this time so that I can send a team to you next time!"
"Yes! I have fulfilled my mission!"
