Chapter 335 Avalanche, Linzhou City is buried
After Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou separated, they returned to Linzhou City.
The government officials are giving porridge to the people.
In order to support Chen's army, the people were so hungry that they became pale and emaciated, and many of them fell ill.
The herbal medicines in the city’s pharmacies could not be replenished, so they could only focus on the injured Chen family soldiers, and the common people had no medicine to use.
After Ye Chutang told Chen Kui about the enemy situation he had, he went to Chen's house.
She took out a lot of herbs for dispelling wind and cold, as well as herbs for nourishing the body and replenishing energy, and gave them to the housekeeper.
"These two herbs have different effects, one for curing diseases and the other for nourishing the body, but both require three packets of medicine to be put into a pot of water, half boiled, and then moved underground to be given to the seriously ill and weak people later."
The housekeeper now looked at Ye Chutang as if he were a savior, and nodded respectfully.
"Don't worry, Madam Qi. I will arrange for someone to boil the medicine right away."
"The barbarians will soon attack the city, so we must boil the medicine quickly. Also, after the people have eaten and drunk their fill, they should quickly take their belongings and go underground. When the barbarians are at the gates of the city, I will seal off every underground entrance."
"Yes, I will send someone to inform the government immediately and ask them to warn the people."
Ye Chutang had been busy for several hours and felt a little tired, so he went to rest on the chaise longue in the side hall of the front yard.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was suddenly awakened by a strong vibration.
"Come here, are the barbarians attacking the city?"
The maid guarding outside the side hall heard Ye Chutang's voice and hurried in to pay her respects.
"Yes, Madam Qi."
“Have all the people gone underground?”
"The housekeeper came a quarter of an hour ago and said that the civilians and the injured Chen family soldiers have already gone underground."
Ye Chutang stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Notify everyone in the mansion to go underground immediately."
The maid knelt and saluted, "As you wish. Madam Qi, would you like to join us?"
Ye Chutang shook his head, "Don't worry about me, go ahead."
After the maid left, Ye Chutang drank two sips of hot tea, put on his cloak, and headed for the city gate.
At the city gate.
Chen Kui's deputy general was preparing to lead his troops out of the city to lure the enemy deeper into the city.
"Remember, you must not let the enemy see the flaws of luring the enemy. You must spare no effort to fight the enemy and treat it as the last desperate struggle."
"I obey your command!"
"But don't be too aggressive. We need to fight and retreat at the same time. Our goal is to lure the enemy!"
"Yes, General."
Chen Kui waved his hand, "Go ahead, try to stay alive."
He knew very well that of the 100,000 soldiers who left the city, at least 20,000 had to be left on the battlefield, and another 10,000 had to be left to deal with the aftermath.
Although it is heartbreaking, it is a necessary sacrifice.
The deputy general opened the city gate, took the lead and took the initiative to meet the enemy.
Chen Kui looked at the soldiers who bravely faced the enemy, tears welling up in his eyes.
He caught a glimpse of Ye Chutang's figure and quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"The city gate is dangerous, why is Madam Qi here?"
Ye Chutang walked up to the tower and said, "You've never seen a war, come and see the world."
Chen Kui hurriedly followed and advised: "Madam Qi, the sword has no eyes, and the catapult is dangerous, you'd better not look at it."
Ye Chutang ignored him and quickly climbed up the city wall.
At this time, the sun was setting and the view was clear.
She could clearly see the scene of more than 200,000 troops approaching, and could also feel the strong sense of oppression.
It was similar to the scene of being besieged by a horde of zombies at the end of the world, so densely packed that they were countless.
But the current situation is much easier to deal with than the end of the world.
Because zombies don't feel pain and are not afraid of death, they only crave flesh and blood.
But humans have five senses and fear, which are easy to deal with.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a huge rock came towards them.
It fell into the city and smashed a big hole in the roof of a shop on the street.
Chen Kui's face changed slightly, and he quickly pulled Ye Chutang down from the city wall.
"Madam Qi, the enemy army has seen us take the initiative to fight and is approaching Linzhou City. It's dangerous outside. You should quickly hide underground."
Ye Chutang still had things to do, so he nodded.
"Okay, General Chen, be careful. I'll wait for your signal flare."
"Don't worry, Madam Qi. I will stay alive and witness the enemy being buried by the avalanche with my own eyes."
After Chen Kui finished speaking, he quickly turned around and went up to the city wall to command the battle.
Ye Chutang entered the nearest shop and went to the plum tree in the backyard.
She placed her hands on the ground and used her earth-related abilities to close all the underground entrances.
The underground sand was rolled up and, with the help of the biting north wind, the sand was sent to the enemy camp.
Although it is not enough for Chen Kui to win with a smaller force, it can reduce the losses of Chen's army.
Since the control distance is short, the consumption of merit points is not large.
The falling boulders were becoming more and more dense and falling farther and farther away.
It can be seen that the armies of Xiyi and Nanling are getting closer and closer to Linzhou City.
Ye Chutang persisted for two quarters of an hour, retracted his supernatural powers, and waited for Chen Kui to send a signal flare.
As the sky grew darker, flaming arrows began to fall densely.
Most of them fell on the snow-covered roof and extinguished.
Some also fell into the holes made by the huge rocks and set the houses on fire.
Ye Chutang ignored it, thinking that the fire would be put out by the avalanche soon.
The sounds of fighting were getting closer, and the smell of blood was getting stronger.
Chen's army began to retreat.
About a cup of tea later, a bright flare rushed into the sky and exploded in the south of Linzhou City.
It was not Chen Kui, but Qi Yanzhou who defeated the elite troops of Nanling and Xiyi and rushed to Linzhou City.
After Chen Kui saw the signal, he shouted, "Reinforcements are here, kill them!"
This was shouted to the enemy.
In reality, it was telling Chen's army that when the time was right, they could pretend to be defeated and return to the city to close the net.
Ye Chutang came out of the shop and went to the top of the city wall again.
She asked Chen Kui, "General Chen, have the people from Dongsang been dispatched?"
Chen Kui pulled Ye Chutang to hide under the parapet.
"When the Chen family army showed signs of defeat, Dongsang's troops appeared behind Xiyi and Nanling as backup. As long as the Chen family army retreated into the city, the 'ghost thieves' would be able to trigger an avalanche."
Ye Chutang nodded, went down the city wall and returned to the backyard of the shop.
She used her earth-related abilities to open two entrances, about thirty feet long and ten feet wide, on the street next to the city wall to make it easier for soldiers to enter the underground.
After finishing her work, she came out of the shop and saw Qi Yanzhou riding a horse towards her in the night.
The clothes were fluttering and obvious bloodstains could be seen.
"Whoa!"
He reined in his horse, dismounted swiftly, and stood in front of Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang spoke first, "Are you hurt?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. How is General Chen's plan going?"
"The plan has been successful. Once Chen's army retreats back into the city, we can avalanche it."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he asked, "How many casualties did you suffer?"
Qi Yanzhou forced an ugly smile.
"Fortunately, you have enough poison. The casualties are about 5,000. Compared with Xiyi and Nanling, it is already very good."
The National Protection Army is highly skilled in martial arts. They risk their lives to shuttle among the enemy troops, spread poison and kill generals.
The enemy's formation was disrupted and no one took timely command.
Qi Yanzhou and Sun Chu each led their troops to attack and defeated Nanling and Xiyi.
The sacrifice of five thousand people resulted in the deaths of forty thousand enemy troops!
When the people of Xiyi and Nanling knew they were going to be defeated, some of the fearful soldiers immediately surrendered, but they were ignored.
Because Qi Yanzhou knew very well that if he was defeated, Xiyi and Nanling would not leave anyone alive.
After listening to this, Ye Chutang pointed to the entrance beside the city wall.
"A Zhou, take everyone underground quickly to make time for Chen's army."
Otherwise, if we get together, it will be too crowded.
Qi Yanzhou nodded, turned around and said to Sun Chu: "Take everyone to the underground."
Sun Chu not only had blood on his body, but also on his face, and his expression could not be seen.
He responded and walked towards the city wall first.
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang's hand and said, "Atang, let's go. The rest will be left to the Ghost Thief."
Ye Chutang brushed away Qi Yanzhou's hand.
"You go first. I have something else to take care of. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Qi Yanzhou guessed that Ye Chutang was going to meet the "Ghost Thief" and it was not convenient for him to see it, so he nodded.
"Okay, be careful."
Ye Chutang went to the backyard of the Chen family and used his earth-related abilities to create a low-magnitude earthquake outside the city, reminding the Chen family army to retreat quickly.
Then he escaped underground and went to the place where Qi Yanzhou and Xiyi Nanling were fighting.
The blood flowed like a river, it was disgusting.
She used her earth-related abilities to bury all the corpses deep underground.
This is to prevent epidemics from occurring due to the dense accumulation of corpses when the weather gets hot.
After finishing her work, she returned to Linzhou City.
Not long after, Chen Kui fired a flare.
Then he used all his internal strength to shout: "Linzhou City can no longer be defended, everyone run!"
After shouting, he went down the city wall and took all the Chen family soldiers who were returning to the city into the underground.
The Chen family army that stayed outside the city to cover the retreat could only face death.
After everyone entered the underground, Ye Chutang immediately sealed the entrance and teleported to the foot of the snow-capped mountain closest to Linzhou City.
"Avalanche, coming!"
She concentrated her mind and pushed her earth-related abilities to their limit, shaking the mountains.
The snow on the mountain slid down instantly, faster and faster.
She adjusted the tilt of the mountains so that the snow would slide down to Linzhou City.
at this time.
Xiyi, Nanling and Dongsang have already broken down the city gate.
They looked at the empty streets and looked at each other.
Bater felt something was wrong and shouted, "Go find someone. I don't believe that the people and the garrison in such a large county town can escape so quickly!"
It has been less than a cup of tea since Chen’s army closed the city gate.
Even if they abandoned the city and fled, it would be impossible for them to leave so quickly and completely.
He must be hiding somewhere!
The soldiers obeyed the order and immediately rushed into the shops on both sides of the street.
While looking for people, he also made money.
But not only was there no one in the shop, there was nothing valuable either.
What was even more strange was that the shop was not in a mess at all, and there was no sign of panic or escape.
Just like the people here, they walk calmly.
Something is wrong!
The soldier came out of the shop immediately and was about to tell Battelle about his discovery when he felt a strong vibration under his feet.
"The Earth Dragon Flips Over! General, it's the Earth Dragon Flips Over!"
When he was fighting against Chen’s army before, he noticed a slight vibration under his feet.
At that time, I was so focused on killing the enemy that I didn't take it to heart.
It seems to be a sign of the earth dragon turning over!
Bater listened to the faint rumbling sound and didn't think it was a dragon turning over.
But the vibration under his feet reminded him that it was a dragon turning over.
He remembered that an earth dragon had turned over in Linzhou City before.
Many houses collapsed and many people died.
After cursing "bad luck" in his heart, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, go to an open place!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the rumbling sound became louder.
There was also an extremely oppressive cold wind mixed with ice and snow coming from outside the city.
"It shouldn't snow in this weather."
After muttering something, Battelle turned his head to look outside the city.
The sky full of ice and snow came rushing in with the power to destroy the world.
He was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he whipped his horse whip hard, shouting, "It's an avalanche, run! Run!"
But a horse's speed is nowhere near as fast as an avalanche.
Linzhou City was instantly covered with ice and snow, burying the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms deep under the snow.
The snow is loose and won't suffocate people immediately.
But it can crush a person to the point where he cannot move.
Moreover, if you stay in a low temperature environment for a long time, you will be frozen to death in no time.
The avalanche lasted for nearly three quarters of an hour before slowly subsiding.
Not only Linzhou City, but also the area ten miles to the south was buried in snow.
When the snow fog settled, Ye Chutang looked at the whiteness as far as he could see and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She used too many supernatural powers this time, and her mental strength was seriously overdrawn.
Before falling down, she quickly drank a sip of spiritual spring water and teleported underground.
As soon as she reached the underground space, she fainted.
"Oh, someone fainted!"
"Who is this girl? Does anyone know her?"
"Doctor, come quickly. This girl looks very pale. I'm afraid something might happen to her."
The people of Linzhou City did not know Ye Chutang, but they all cared about her.
I consciously squeezed back to give her more space.
Qi Yanzhou was far away from where Ye Chutang fainted, and could only vaguely hear that someone was in trouble.
He suddenly felt a little flustered, as if he had a premonition of something, and squeezed past quickly.
The doctor was pushed away just as he was about to take Ye Chutang's pulse.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang lying lifeless on the ground. He was so frightened that his heart stopped beating and he dared not breathe.
"Atang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
No response.
Qi Yanzhou tried hard to calm himself down and reached out to feel Ye Chutang's pulse on his neck.
After making sure his pulse was beating, he let out a breath.
He wanted to take Ye Chutang's pulse, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't feel the pulse at all.
At this time, Caesar came.
"Master, let me do it."
After saying that, he placed his fingers on Ye Chutang's slender wrist.
"The pulse is very weak, as if there is internal injury, but I can't find where the injury is."
This has never happened before.
His medical skills are not the best in Beichen Country, but they are at least in the top ten.
Qi Yanzhou frowned slightly, "Is Atang worried about his life?"
"My Lord, not yet."
After Caesar finished speaking, he pulled over the doctor from Linzhou City.
"Please take Madam's pulse."
Although he believed in his medical skills, he still wanted to find someone to verify it.
What if my skills are not as good as others?
Although the doctor did not know Qi Yanzhou, he could tell that he was of noble status.
He quickly responded to Xize and checked Ye Chutang's pulse.
"Madam's pulse is weak and her body is frail. I can't figure out the cause. Please rest for now and wait for her to wake up."
"When will my wife wake up?"
"This...I can't say for sure."
Qi Yanzhou looked towards Xize.
Xize couldn't tell when Ye Chutang would wake up, as he had never seen such a strange pulse.
"Master, I will feed Madam some elixirs to nourish her body and qi, and then give her acupuncture to clear her meridians, to see if there is any effect."
Qi Yanzhou nodded, picked up Ye Chutang, and walked towards the place where they had rested before.
